Romance5 Reasons Why You Should Have An Opposite Sex Bestie by Nimen(op): 7:59am On Dec 09, 2014
I think the best best friends you can ever have are those with the opposite sex.

facts

1# So far as the terms of friendship are clearly defined and spelled out, lol.. If you're close to the opposite sex without clear cut terms, you may end up being friends with benefits, from there you could end up being lovers then break-up and that ends the friendship
They'll be forever close to you, returning your phone calls, understanding your mood swings, she may even be the one you call when your girl gives you attitude, your brain is wired that she's your sister, so if she wears the shortest mini skirt you can never be turned on, even in bikini, she seems like a sister, there's nothing provocative about her dressing, no matter how provocative it looks to others

#2 its unlikely that she'll backstab you, unless she's gay she cant snatch your girl, guys can (trust me on that), just pray she's not secretly in love with you, or it'll be complete disaster

other points:

3# they give good gifts... Your same sex friends cannot give you a car for your birthday (i can swear on that) but he/she can

4# You can cry on her shoulders without being called a sissy, sometimes you just so down and a call from your female friends, plus words of encouragement, can make your day

5# She gives you favours easily; your female friend with the right connections can refer you easily than her male counterpart (very proven)

Many times its best to marry this best friend, she's been with you through the years, knows you inside out, and the marriage will totally work better than a girl you courted for two years. And that kind love dey make belly do tinini tinini

its a typical happily ever after.
So i think i've convinced you, if you haven't been convinced ask 2face Idibia, or President Obama.
So do you have that tight, close opposite sex friend? If not what are you waiting for? Go get one now.

PoliticsWe'll Create A Parallel Government If We Don't Win - Rotimi Amaechi by Nimen(op): 9:28am On Nov 21, 2014
Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, yesterday threatened that the All Progressives Congress, APC, will form a parallel government should the 2015 elections fail to meet the expectations of the party.
He said that the opposition would also spearhead civil disobedience across the country, adding that the days were gone when any figures ascribed as votes for former Head of State and presidential aspirant, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, by the electoral umpire in Rivers would be accepted.
The Rivers governor made the threat in Abuja yesterday on the sideline of a rally organized by the party in Abuja tagged, “Salvation Rally.”
To show that Governor Amaechi spoke the mind of the APC leaders, its National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, in his speech, said: “If we do not see any discernible change of attitude on the part of the government, then we will move to the next stage on the list of actions that our party intends to take to stop the rot being perpetuated by the PDP-led Federal Government.”
The party said it organised the rally to sensitise Nigerians on what it called “a practical demonstration of our lack of confidence in the ability or willingness of President Goodluck Jonathan to organise a free and fair election come February 2015.”
Odigie-Oyegun said the recent attempt by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to distribute the Permanent Voters Card ended in a fiasco because, the Commission’s ICT Department deliberately corrupted the system.
According to him, “As you must all be aware, the recent exercise by INEC of collection of Permanent Voters Cards and continuous voter registration in 12 states of the federation was a fiasco. The official explanation from INEC is to blame it all on computer error.
“But, we know this is a lie. The truth of the matter is that the ICT Unit of INEC, which is working hand in gloves with the Presidential Villa, deliberately corrupted the system in order to disenfranchise voters in APC-controlled states.
“How else do you explain the fact that this same exercise, which had gone fairly well in 24 other states-mostly PDP states-is now a fiasco in Lagos, Kano, Rivers, Niger, Ogun, Katsina, Kaduna, Zamfara, all APC strongholds and with the highest number of registered voters?
“In the aforementioned states, millions of voters have been disenfranchised because the system was deliberately corrupted to wipe out their names from the voters register. Even those who were able to vote in 2011 could no longer find their names on the register.
“Zero units are now to be found more in APC-controlled states or strongholds. The PDP, realising the overwhelming support and followership which APC enjoys in the above mentioned states, has deliberately decided to use the ICT Department of INEC to rig the 2015 general elections at source by disenfranchising millions of the opposition party’s supporters,” he alleged.
The party also claimed that despite the dwindling revenue into the Federation Account, occasioned by the falling oil prices, the President is secretly funding the PDP states to the disadvantage of the APC states.
Odigie-Oyegun said: “He has in the last two years embarked on a scheme to create disaffection among the electorates in APC-controlled states by not funding the Federation Account adequately. While this may appear a general problem affecting all states, he has secretly and unconstitutionally been funding PDP-controlled states. Not too long ago, he dashed all PDP-controlled states N2 billion each. Not only does this affect the letter and spirit of our constitution, it also portrays him as the President of the PDP and not that of Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, the rally, which was supposed to bring together some of the party’s big wigs, ended up being a sigh of deep rift in its fold, in the buildup to its December presidential primaries.
Gen. Buhari was the only presidential aspirant of the APC that was present at the rally, an indication that all may not be well within the ranks of those jostling for the party’s presidential ticket.
Notable leaders of the party and other presidential aspirants, including former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso and former Lagos State Governor, Ahmed Tinubu among others, were conspicuously missing at the rally.
No party official was ready to explain why the leaders shunned the event. There were however strong indications that it was a way of registering their displeasure in what many described as deliberate effort by APC to hand its presidential ticket to a preferred aspirant.

PoliticsRe: The 7 Sins Of Rotimi Amaechi by Nimen(op): 9:16am On Nov 21, 2014
5.The proxy wars (2)

In January 2013, Gov. Amaechi had a high profile spat with the Minister of the Niger Delta, Godsday Orubebe, who is known to be one of the closest men to President Jonathan. The back and forth between the two men was the highest profile exchange between Amaechi and a presidential surrogate. (Edwin Clark, the so-called godfather of the pesident had also previously criticised Amaechi).
Amaechi blasted Orubebe for poor performance as Niger Delta minister, especially as regards delivering on the East-West road project. The minister’s response was bizarre. He argued that Amaechi does not respect the president, that Amaechi was bribing Nigerians, and that Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital is a slum. In fact, Orubebe tackled so many (non)issues apart from the one for which Amaechi had blamed him.
Expectedly Amaechi rebutted the minister (twice).

6.The proxy wars (3)

The most recent proxy battle between the Brick House, as Rivers government house is called, and Aso Rock, involved Labaran Maku, the Information minister, during his Good Governance Tour stop in Rivers state.
The governor and the minister openly argued with each other at one stop over whether the FG had supplied computers to the state when Maku was the minister in charge of communications. Maku said computers were supplied. Amaechi said they weren’t.

7.Respect

When President Jonathan newly became Bayelsa governor, Gov. Amaechi was speaker of the Rivers assembly and chairman of the Association of Speakers of State assemblies. Then, Jonathan used to come over to Rivers where he relied on the backing of Gov. Peter Odili. Amaechi was a confidante of the former governor back then, and an influential speaker, so naturally, the Bayelsa governor did pay ‘homage’ to the speaker.
That was then.
Circumstances have changed, but somehow, from the dealings and carriage of Amaechi, he’s never quite accorded that loyalty and respect to President Jonathan which presidents come to expect, and even demand. So maybe, it’s time to clip some peacock wings.
Yeah, we know, this is conjecture but as lawyers would say, it is trite law that one must never outshine the master.

PoliticsThe 7 Sins Of Rotimi Amaechi by Nimen(op): 8:58am On Nov 21, 2014
We’ve listed the governor’s seven deadly sins which might be responsible for the sword currently hanging over his head.
1.When the Dame got impatient
Many might have forgotten that embarrassing moment in August 2010, when the first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan visited Rivers state to launch her pet project, Women for Change Initiative, which was her first love as first lady before her new found mission for a N4billion Mission House.
The governor and his guest were having a good time in Rivers state, until they visited the first lady’s hometown, Okrika. As the governor made a presentation on some demolitions he intended to undertake in order to make school environments conducive for students, the first lady stood up, collected the microphone, and chewed into him (not literally please).
Speaking angrily, she said: “Okrika has no land. Every little land that we have is very important. They don’t play with land. It’s a serious affair. So I want you to know that.”
The governor tried to explain, but Dame Jonathan had lost all restraint. “”Listen!, you must listen to me,” she said. “I want you to get me clear. I am from here (Okrika). I know the problems of my people. So, I know what I am talking. I do not want us to go into crises. We are preaching peace and we must maintain peace at any time. But what I am telling you is that you always say you must demolish. That word ‘must’, you use is not good. It is by pleading. You appeal to the owners of the compound, because they will not go into exile. Land is a serious issue.”
Amaechi was downcast after that. He failed to attend the reception organised in her honour afterwards. His handlers did a press conference later on, with subtle digs at the first lady, while proclaiming loyalty to President Jonathan who was on his way to becoming the PDP candidate in the 2011 elections.
That was strike one.
2.The governors’ governor
Say Governor Amaechi is an arrogant man, and hardly anyone would argue with you. Make such a man the ‘head’ of all governors in the country and you have a powerful arrogant man. Placed side by side with a president who most take to be weak and the result was that the wishes of the Governors Forum became binding 9 out of 10 times.
Whenever the governors stirred a bit, billions were withdrawn from the excess crude account to placate them. They instituted a case at the Supreme Court over deductions by the FG from the account and used that as a wedge against the setting up of the Sovereign Wealth Fund. After negotiations for minimum wage with workers were concluded, governors said they would not implement, as they felt the FG should not have negotiated for the states. This greatly embarrassed the president, who had to beg and share some more excess crude billions. Whenever things went wrong in the polity, like after the subsidy removal in 2012, and government spending was being scrutinised, all eyes and fingers pointed towards Aso Rock, while the governors were hardly called to account.
Aso Rock wasn’t too pleased with these happenings. The media machinery of the NGF was more oiled than that of Aso Rock. And any time the president looked down at those 36 men who plagued him so much, who did he see leading their charge? Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi.
3.Those 2015 rumours
When the time comes, Goodluck Jonathan is expected to vie once more to be president of Nigeria from 2015 to 2019. When that time comes, it is expected that he would be fiercely challenged and the main contenders would come from the Northern part of the country.
One man whose expected candidature is already generating some buzz is Sule Lamido, the Jigawa governor, whose tenure as governor expires in 2015. That, on its own, isn’t enough to sour the president against Amaechi.
However, there are rumours that Gov. Amaechi, who is from the Southsouth, like President Jonathan, has been pencilled as vice presidential candidate to Lamido. In fact, Lamido/Amaechi campaign vehicles as well as posters have been sighted in some states. Expectedly, this hasn’t gone down well with Aso Rock, and the half-hearted denials by both Lamido and Amaechi is not helping matters.
4.The proxy wars (1)
In the last quarter of 2012, a messy battle ensued between the Rivers and Bayelsa state governments.
Gov Amaechi of Rivers and Gov. Dickson of Bayelsa, as well as their deputies, used the media to buttress the claims of their respective states to five oil wells in Soku and Elem-Sangama. Amaechi was provoked that Bayelsa was being given proceeds from the wells when the Boundary Commission had not concluded delineation of the boundaries as ordered by the Supreme Court.
Naturally, because the president is from Bayelsa, he was roped into the argument, with Rivers overtly accusing him of bias.
