David Cameron who invited him has just been caught on tape calling Nigeria as 'fantastically corrupt' country. According to Cameron , Afghanistan and Nigeria are 'the most corrupt countries in the world'.. Unknown to him, his microphone was still on, it's on BBC breaking news as I type this.

Mr president should make sure that Cameron apologizes and retract such stupid comment,

Cameron's penchant for frivolities and childish comments is well known. (He made similar stupid comment about the Queen to Obama not quite long ago & was exposed by his body microphone)

This time, he has taken his stupidity too far and Mr president owe it to all honest Nigerian to ensure that Cameron apologizes and retract such offensive comment...otherwise.....

Perfecto!
Well done brother

Many thanks for keeping this going, it's really helping during quiet times.

Kindly take note of typos please, I saw many in today's devotional, people can miss useful messages thereby.

Once more, thanks

Just finished making some calls and from all indications, David Mark will be returned, barring any last minute twists.

For all his faults, Chief David Mark has never and will never compromise his "Idoma-ness" (pardon the coinage) when it comes to Benue politics. In a state where the Idomas are perpetually confined to playing second fiddle to the Tivs, such quality in an individual is a huge political currency, stronger than dollars

The little I heard about the Onjeh chap, he is perceived as a tool by the Tivs to dismantle Mark's stronghold and subsequently weaken the Idomas. Rightly or wrongly, perception and local calculations is the backbone of our local politics, thus he will find it hard to dislodge Mark.

Worrisome and disgusting as this latest story of massive corruption is, the real problem is not that a Mr Dasuki or Mrs Madueke stole public fund. The real problem is the secrecy and the lack of transparency surrounding disbursements of public funds among official and politicians, such that it is only when they quarrelled or disagreed among themselves that the rest of us gets to know what has happened.

We are busy shouting Dasuki, Jonathan, Nghozi, Dokpesi, etc, who knows what is happening NOW to the funds so far allocated to the local government chairmen, to the governors, etc across the country?

As long as there are no enabling laws that empower the citizenry to demand for financial transparency and to hold public officials accountable, tales like these will continue

Your updates here have been very helpful, God bless you!

Any dealers (supply and installation) of artificial grasses/astro turf (for school sporting and play areas) in the house?

If she is born again and accepts Jesus Christ as her lord and saviour, all she needs to do is to confess and renounce the terms of the oath, preferably witnessed by a representative of Christ (Pastor, priest, etc.) or her father, who will then pray for her. The blood of Jesus is stronger than any other covenant blood.

If she is not, she remains a legitimate captive until she is set free by the man. Even the man in question is toying with his destiny by flouting an agreement pronounced by the tongue & sealed with blood

Fond memories

More rules:

1. If an adult wants to play and joins team A, team B can pick two people in return.

2. Referee (when present) stays in one place and dishes out decisions as he deems fit.

3. The cross bar depends on the height of the keeper, if his hand cannot touch a shot, then it's over the bar.

4. If the ball's owner kicks it onto a neighbours roof, someone else has to own up and take punishment for him, otherwise game ends.

Today's youngsters don't know what fun the internet is robbing them of

So sad a story, even though this account is not entirely true. (I met with the guy severally late last year as well as other members of his family while on holidays, even down to his home town to see his dad.

Free info for those blaming the Igbos: the man is Kogi state born and bred, the dad remains my topmost hero for his exemplary life as a Christian leader. Stephen (Ogwu or 'war') just happened to be the proverbial black sheep in the family. Maybe this will mark his turning point.

If only people know how Nigeria is being literally bled to death in the name of this 2015 election, they won't be shouting 'xyz till 2019' (except of course they are beneficiaries).

It's a full scale, needles and wasteful spending spree by the incumbent. A govt. functionary (don't ask for names as I am not for anyone) was here with dollars to organize a core diaspora group from the UK to carry out propaganda works, which should materialize soon, all things being equal.

Maybe when we ground the country to a halt, we will finally wake up and start doing things right.

As things stand, the fundamentals are still seriously flawed and neither Buhari nor Jonathan can solve anything because they are both hostage of this sorry excuse of a democracy that we have on ground.


My 2 cents

There is a world of difference between The Church (Body of Christ) and organized religion which is being passed off as 'church' by their greedy practitioners.

The real body of Christ is marching on and as the scripture says, ' the gates of hell' (politics, hatred, greed, backstabbing, etc) cannot prevail against the Church.

Always make sure you are a part of the body, doing the will of God wherever you find yourself.

Any architect in the house with a creative mind?

I need an imaginative designer to come up with a unique/innovative design for a World Class Nursery/Primary School, with allowances for future expansion into a Secondary & Post Secondary school. We are working with 10 plots of land (50 by 100)

Facilities to include but not limited to the following:

Admin block consisting of Head teacher's office, Staff Room & Offices for supporting staff
Playground for outdoor games (football pitch, volleyball, badminto court)
Classroom Blocks (at least 3 for a start)
Multipurpose Hall
Dining Hall
Separate Toilets (Male/Female students, Male/Female Staff)
Staff Quarters
Hostel Blocks (Male/Female students)
Car Park

Room for future expansion


I already have a faint idea of what it will look like and if your design comes close to it, then we can work together in the new year (provided our personalities click)

Feel free to post models here or send to my email (tom7th@gmail.com) and we take it from there

Good thing is, the boys look thier age, so its a clean victory, makes it even sweeter.

From the answers here l am tempted to ask:
What constitute 'praise' and 'worship'?
To most modern day Christians, praise equals to fast tempo songs while worship refers to slow tempo songs.

Praising or worshipping God is all these and more and has nothing to do with personal preferences, you just yield yourself and flow at HIS behest.

Opportunities to compromise usually come your way to help you realise how firm/feeble your moral resolve is.
Take this from me: whatever you gain through compromise is a chain that will eventully drag you down if you don't break it.
You are better off going the hard way in your quest for achievement. That way you can always be yourself and sleep with a good conscience.

Typical Nigerian politician! This man never disappoints

The fellow has apologised for God's sake, what more should he do? Kill himself because his emotion got the better part of him in an instant? Which human being don't have such moments from time to time? Football is such an adrenalin-soaked sport even for spectators such that rival supporters who watch and cheer from behind the sidelines have killed one another over it.
Those calling for his head, have you given a thought to the turmoil he is going through right now? Its Luis of LFC today, tomorrow, it will surely be another player from another club that will do something he wont be proud of afterwards, that l can bet on

Most insightful article I've read in a long while! Many blessings, OP

'Th­eir tripartite state'=Spirit soul and body

Not sure you are telling the whole story here, you make it look like the fault is all from the other side. I have dealt with 'corpers' in supervisory capacity and I know what some of them can be up to sometimes.

However, my advice to you (if your story is true) is:
you don't have to lose it, remain focused and committed to your assignment, make up your mind to work and make sacrifice if need be. I bet you, help will locate you

tpia@:
imo, you well so?

You wont say this if u've ever been stalked by a desperate woman.

@OP

Tell your wife, not faceless folks on the web

Can somebody tell these people and their apologists to quit childish whining already!! Jujuman from where? Why not aliens!
Black Stars simply did not play well so they lost out, even questionable officiating could not help them, they were not even good enough for 3rd place....end of!!

This is why I love Nigerians, we know how to blame and 'yab' ourselves generously when we lose matches, not all these finger-pointing.

Nice Thread:

You all have forgotten the KING of all evergreen: SWEET MOTHER (Nico Mbarga)
Almost a daily anthem for me

Interesting topic, interesting responses:

My take;

If there is any reason why you love somebody (outside obeying a divine commandment), then it is no longer love.

This kind of result is the reason why Arsenal will stick with this Wenger man for long, totally against the run of play-only 4 chances for them, two missed, two converted!
But honestly we need a top quality GK soon, Pepe Reina is becoming increasingly complacent due to lack of competition, that second goal should not have gone in!

Anyway, congrats to the gunners, you guys are lucky today

Messi The footballer: The guy is a good mix of talent, commitment and discipline, he will continue to go places as long as he stays focused

So for Labaran it was never Aluta continua, it has been and remains a looter continues,

What a shame!

Vanguard & Nairaland Homepage: is it liter? (debris) or[b] litre[/b] (unit of measurement) of fuel?

Anyway, Nigeria is filled with all kinds on liters and noises nowadays that if one follows or try to make sense of them all, one might just go bunkers.

These boys!!! Just when you think 'what much can they do with Suarez out?'

Well done boys, you've earned yourselves a full box of chicken & chips each, go to any branch of Morleys and tell them I sent you


As for Carol, no more comments for now

Sorry, I am not here to give free lessons on EPL history and this is my last post on this thread, before the gutter effect takes over.
