Just make everything complicated and create distractions here and there.

This is book knowledge. Practically, it does not work in Nigeria. Show me an employer in this country who is totally "clean". I know this is very controversial. Our politicians, despite all their loot sorry money, still want to die in office. Why don't they resign even when confronted with obvious fraud? This is Nigeria! Even Adam Smith will agree that some social principles cannot work here. Nigeria is unique!

Students, In case una wan fling am, I dey here for computer villa. I go buy am for better price O. Even your parents will be impressed.

Laptop to do what? Must you really spend this money even when it is not necessary? Una go taya very soon.

Logic Mind: I believe everything nigerian police says.
They have shown integrity at every level and their views are respected worldwide.
Be proud of your police force for the excellent job they have been doing keeping us safe.

See dem - Opposition!

My friend, If you already have a job then make comparison. But if you don't have a job then go for it.

Treat the place like you would treat your home when expecting very important visitors and this you must do daily. As for benefits, free food naaa plus take away everyday, outside your salary.

Since this new face I don't receive notifications anymore. Why?

Celebrity marriages - takes the grace of God for them to last.

Serves them right. They will all get tired and openly declare that they are no more interested in public offices. They don't fear God in any way. One day He would call and their (stolen) money will not save them.

Reference:

I tell you. It is alarming and indicates that a lot of people here comment on things they donot understand or take time to research on. If you must understand this country and its political dynamics people like Daboh play a prominent role.

He was a sort of right hand man, technical advisor to IBB in the June 12 caper and his flow has generally been in that direction since. He was rather a naughty man in many eyes but for today one can only identify with the loss of such a monumental figure and commisurate with his family and friends.

Was he also a member of the cabals?

We need Jack Bauer of CTU to come and rescue the situation. There is a lot of compromise everywhere in the system - from the presidency down.

What a shame!

kayci_d77: This MODERATOR called MUKINA2, Mehn some of your Threads are soooo Dumb , You must not post many topics everyday, now what do you want us to discuss here or contribute.

Contlibute you adivise for the dipromatic wifes to that they shuld not talk rubbis on the behaf of our countri becos of the shalenges in the internal crises.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

What's my share in this appropriation? That is my concern.

There is no law supporting that but you MUST wear everything new because it is a day that does not come twice in a man's lifetime.

Godman_n:

Are you aware that Britain does not have a written constitution?

...
...
...

In addition, I do not see the need for name calling as depicted in you suggestion that we are projecting ourselves as "Goodman". I don't think Nairaland is a political forum where politicians sell themselves. It is more like a gossip and learning forumn for me. So the need to project myself does not arise. If you have said, to educate, inform, indoctrinate, brainwash (in a positive sense), etc; i would have accepted. If enough of us act rightly, Nigeria will change. And the only way to get enough of to act rightly is by sharing ideas. That's my take in this, guy

1. Different strokes for different folks - How about the USA? Can you say the same about their constitution? In Britain, at the micro level, they are guided by policies, but you can say the above about the center. The case of Nigeria has gone beyond where you cannot put pen on paper to guide you and with the right policies in place, the country can achieve greatness.

2. Accept my unreserved apology. It was not intended to cast a shadow on your person. Meanwhile, in putting the policies in place, there should be massive enlightenment campaign to the populace, at least with people like you and me and Nairaland in general, we can achieve.

On a personal note, don't you think the center is too weak to make and take critical decisions? (Boko Haram in mind)

Godman, I feel your passion but unfortunately, you have not proferred any clear solution(s) except promoting yourself as a "Goodman". What you intend doing is working to transform the leadership of our gr8 country Nigeria when you get "up" there. My take is this: for any system to work effectively, that system must be driven by the right policy (document). And what does this mean? It means our policies are not just right. It does not matter who is at the top provided he is working within the confines of the policies, then all will be well. Our constitution is very very faulty.

Take the bible for example, if a christian cannot prove his words or actions from the bible's perspective, then it is either right or wrong depending on what it is.

My simple transformation idea for this country is to set up regional government as of old. If we say we have 6 geo-political zones, then let's have 6 regional heads of government and these heads would report to the man/woman at the center. Government parastatals also should be regionalised i.e. all ministries can and should not be present in all regions except for peculiar ministries. E.g. what is Niger/Delta ministry doing in Abuja, or "Boko Haram" ministry doing in Lagos? This is just a tip of the iceberg. There may be fear of revenue allocation (the reason why the center seems a fortress), every area should control its resources and the policy should also state what percentage should go to the center. Besides, the policy would have stated what remuneration should be due to whoever that wishes to assume that position. That way, we can be rest assured that there is no "monkey business" anywhere. Only sincere people would want to go to the center to work because there is "nothing" to loot.

What has been going on since the last 20 years is - plant your crops on your farm, harvest your crops and bring them to the center (incur cost on transport and logistics), from the center take fraction back to your base and develop infrastructures and where necessary support can come from the center to assist your development (which never comes).

In summary:

1. revisit the constitution
2. create regional governments
3. Allow for resource control
4. The center should policy formulator not revenue "allocator"

blackcat1: @Godman_n and @ OzReal
God continue to bless you two for your wisdom. [s]If only we had 100 of you in power in Nigeria things will surely look up for our nation[/s].

If only we had 100 of you in power in Nigeria things will surely look up for our nation was not necessary because with the rate at which oil is gushing out, the whole 100 would equally do more (if not worse) than the present crap crop of leaders in power.

The instruction is very clear, he who has ears let him hear. A word is enough for the wise.

What this simply means is that we don't have any borders at all and that's why there are leakages everywhere. No wonder Ibori could escape without being noticed, cash could be laundered without going through any bank and at the same time anything can come in also without being checked. May God help us in this country.

A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. TB should accommodate them after all they are the same “christian” brethren.

The police in Ikotun division Lagos prevented a religious crisis after seven devotees of condemned Rev. King allegedly went to the home of Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua of Synagogue Church of All Nations at Egbe-Ikotun and verbally attacked him.
The seven devotees suspected to be members of the of Christian Praying Assembly, CPA, founded by the condemned Rev. King, were arrested and charged to Ejigbo Magistrates’ court Lagos State Southwest Nigeria, for allegedly attacking T. B. Joshua.
The suspects include Nwachukwu Ngoma, 50, Peace Chinwendu, 28, Peter Emodi, 20, Obuwase Wisdom, Ngozi Ikechukwu, 40, Chinyere Nwoke, 45, and Eze Chinyere, 35.
The suspects and others now at large were alleged to have pretended that they were preaching the gospel and stood in front of Prophet Joshua’s home and casting aspersion on the man of God.
Apart from Joshua, other men of God including Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel, Pastor Kumuyi of Deeper Life Bible Church and Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, were not spared by the devotees who called them thieves and fraudsters and rained curses on them.
Their action created religious tension in the area and the residents denounced their preaching and called the police.
A team of policemen from Ikotun went there to disperse them and arrested the seven suspects while others fled.
It was not yet clear why they did that but P.M.NEWS gathered that the group was not happy with the increasing popularity of some men of God including Joshua.
The were charged before the court on a two-count charge of felony and conduct likely to cause breach of public peace under sections 516 and 249 of the Criminal Code Cap 17, Vol. 2, Laws of Lagos State 2003.
They pleaded not guilty.
The presiding magistrate, Mrs. M. B. Folami granted them bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum. The matter was adjourned till 5 April 2012.
They defendants were ordered to be reporting to the court every day until their bail was perfected.

My big cousin who is with Guardian had to leave because of the management style of Maiden.

The man being alive today is simply by the grace of God. Let me stop there.

You are still too expensive. With 2 million, you can get a clean job.

elampiro: Imagine! Someone had N11m, he didn't think he could invest and own a business but his thought was to overhrow his Oga. ....... If the story is true, then I can sense lazyness, greediness and evil.

That's the way the Nigerian Politician thinks.

The love of money, the foundation of evil.

Good idea at least all those "ash..o" for obodo oyinbo will see that something better is home than "abroad".

A self acclaimed spiritualist, Adewale Salami, 35, has been arraigned before Oshodi Magistrate’s court, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria for allegedly defrauding a company worker, Yinka Kayode to the tune of N11 million on a false pretence of helping him to perform rituals to kill his employers so that he would take over the company.

xtielauder: I've been dating my boyfriend for d past 7yrs. But all of a sudden, he just added this weigth dat made him look as though he is obessed.. The main problem is dat he just proposed to me and I don't know wat to do, either to say yes or no... Pls house advice me on wat to do

I hope you don't mean the opposite You wrote 7 years of dating (not marriage, but DATING) and now you are beginning to see what you did not see when you started. If you love him (like you CLAIM), you will accept his offer. Besides, what if it was the reverse, how would you feel? Think and act wisely because only very few men are bold enough and prepared to go into marriage these days.
