What exactly is Ikedi Ohakim doing on that list? Ikiri kwa?

What exactly are the achievements of Aminu Tambuwal as a parliamentarian for ages and as a governor? Just asking an honest question here.

Jimi Agbaje has never held any notable public leadership position; how exactlt was his suitability measured?...

And then there's FFK on the list? How exactly does any compos-mentis homosapien think a mentally deranged bigoted drug addict like FFK, who constantly regurgitates the foulest kind of language online when fighting with people, how exactly does any normal human think an unstable dishonorable human like that is fit to lead anybody? Oh I forgot, FFK speaks good English, and according to many Africans suffering from inferiority complex, a good orator is automatically a good leader.


My top picks from the list are
Peter Obi and Yemi Osinbajo
Notable mentions may be Ben Murray Bruce, Fashola and Duke.

Boot Party?!

Hahaha.. Good stuff!

Hallelluia! This should be the first time a list like this is released and we're not in it.

ThiagoKid:
What is dis one saying laidis

Lol.. you know what I'm saying; you got caught pants down.

Shibaraba:
They can take their visa and stuff into a place light does not see in their body.
Everyone just dey ban Nigeria. Baba His how we go take know say you Don ban us from heaven too? I no want come heaven come see say them Don ban us ooo. Make I know now so all the bad things Wey I wan do make I kuku dey do am dey go.

It remains EU now buhari welldone

Association of lazy Nigerian youths; always rushing to comment before reading.

Global news is awash with stories of how Christians are being persecuted and slaughtered on a daily basis in northern Nigeria. Disturbed by this ugly trend and its continuous stigma on their religion, all I see here is a desperate attempt by some persons to push out a narrative that "Muslims arent the ones bombing churches or killing Christians in Nigeria, but rather it is Christians going around wiping out themselves in the north." This whole orchestrated church bomb episode is just a very lame attempt at saving face, the so called bomb didn't even look anything like a real explosive.

We all know the people really responsible for the widespread insecurity around Nigeria - bokoharam, miyetti allah and their militia herdsmen, fulani bandits etc. Instead of trying so hard to defend and cover up the acts of these devils (because you think they share your faith), why not just publicly denounce and dissociate yourselves from them continuously? Why is the north more concerned about shifting the blame of killings to Christians?

The day the north dissociates itself from these fulani marauding terrorists, the day the north stops feeling the need to defend them as their brothers, that's the day their powers will wane and killings will stop. Except of course everyone in the north is in full support of the genocide.

This drug addict has come again with his hateful obsession for Osinbajo. If hatred doesn't kill FFK, I wonder what will. It's just beautiful how PYO keeps ignoring the mumu!!

HacheNoire:
He should start the war.

Why is he telling us.

Afteral, he has the spiritual backing to spearhead a war.

And something must have ministered to him that his church members can defeat the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Atimes, one will wonder if this things we call men of God have brains.

Actually it's your sanity that really needs to be questioned here. How does this your tasteless comment sit in with what the preacher said?

Such a lengthy epistle to justify nonsense. The real reason GMB hasn't changed the service chiefs is the same reason he didnt change or reshuffle his cabinet for a whole tenure, despite the glaring ineptitude of some cabinet members; physical and mental weakness is the real reason.

What else does one expect in a kakistocracy where primitive pieces of dead wood are placed in charge of sensitive institutions?

Awol1:
Eye yam not understanding, is Obi Cubana different from Cubana chief priest?

Lol... Apparently Obi is the deity / owner but Pascal is the chiefpriest / hypeman / chief promoter.

N3000 per month? Who even cursed Nigeria?

virago:
You're the one confusing yourself , you made reference to him owning the company so having the power to sack at will and I questioned that assumption , how am I confusing you

How exactly does it matter if he's the company owner or just a boss (who holds the authority to fire)? What's the relevance of your point to this thread? Wonderful!!

Whether he's the company owner, or just a boss in the company, it totally doesnt matter here, so I can make any of the above assumptions I want. The only thing that matters here is that he holds the authority to fire a person; that's the only relevant point on this thread.

cucumbar:
tribal conquest? How come they attack only Christian dominated areas?

In those Zamfara communities where you keep hearing of BANDITS killing thousands in the last few years, are those Christian communities? Those communities have actually suffered this crisis for a very long time but you never heard of it because it wasnt reported sensationally in the media as 'religious crisis'.

Those are actually Muslim communities but what they have in common with southern Kaduna and Plateau is that they haven't agreed to Fulani leadership.

Most Muslim dominated areas have already submitted to Fulani authority and have a Fulani Emir installed. Fulani herdsmen or bandits or militia dont need to attack a place where they've already conquered and installed a Fulani Emir.

virago:
Stop making assumptions , him having the authority to hire and fire doesn't make him the owner of the company. I hate people making unfounded assumptions

You leave me totally confused here... What exactly is the relevance of this your argument regarding who owns the company? How does it matter in this case and why should I be bothered about an irrelevant point?

Whether he's the owner or just the manager or even the gateman, the only relevant point to note is that he had the authority to fire her. What exactly is the relevance of your obsession with who owns the company?

maasoap:
You can do that if you are in position to do that but just know that you are the problem, not the person you sacked. You haven't addressed the problem at all, you only put an innocent woman in financial difficulty and emotional breakdown.

Neither me nor the person I sacked is the problem; I didn't create myself. It's purely natural and involuntary for a human to develop feelings or attraction from another, and the surest way (biblically approved) to avoid falling into temptation is to flee (a.k.a stay as far away) from it as much as possible.

The genesis of the failure of man is always this 'deceitful self confidence', i.e. believing in yourself that you are disciplined enough to stay close to temptation and not fall for it. Do you know the number of great men in history that have fallen due to this self deceit (don't dare to think you're better than those who have fallen).

Life isn't always fair! It's unfortunate that hard choices have to be made sometimes for the greater good; it's either she goes, or I go, or we stay together and mess our lives up.

princeemmma:
FLEE does not mean make someone else pay for your own deeds, it means find a way to clear you soul, sacking the secretary cant stop the man from liking the secretary, it will only keep her away for a while, the likeness comes from the soul, so he needs to clear his soul

Fleeing means 'staying away from temptation'. It is IMPOSSIBLE to eliminate temptations; no matter how spiritually clean a persons mind or soul is, he will always be tempted, he will always 'like' the secretary.

Being tempted isn't a bad thing (it's inevitable as long as you're human); rather yielding to temptation is where there's a problem. And the surest way not fall into trouble is to keep yourself as far from the temptation as possible.

virago:
What if the business doesn't belong to you

virago:
Where was it written that it was his company Mr. sense

From the story, it can be easily assumed that the business belongs to him, or at least he's the boss with the authority to hire or fire. How else could he have fired the lady?

proclinician:
Comon gettout of here. Parable kill u dia. Wicked things.

Lol..

Call me wicked or insensitive or whatever, of course I know it's no fault of hers that I find her attractive, but wisdom is profitable to direct. My family and sanity is more important to me than trying to satisfy the expectations of our multitude of hypocritical countrymen and women.

Kenneygirl:
Very insensitive angle,
if she was his boss would he sack her too?
most of y'all are just plain wicked

Life isn't fair! And there's absolutely no way we can please everybody. The statement in the bible that we cut off out hands or pluck out our eyes if they cause us to sin, nobody ever said plucking off your eyes is a 'fair' thing to do, but it could be a necessary evil.

If my wife hires a domestic help for instance, the day I realise the staff is beginning to look beautiful and sexy in my eyes, that's the day her employment will be terminated. Call me wicked or insensitive or whatever, of course I know it's no fault of hers that I find her attractive, but wisdom is profitable to direct.

proclinician:
The man is looking at the woman lustfully so just as the bible mentioned isn't it wise for him to cut of his eyes which is making him sin. Umu anumanu.

You've never heard of the word 'parable' before right? You want to literally gorge out your eyes because it is written in the bible and that is what you call wisdom? Na people like una go chop shit if 'Apostle' gives the instruction.

The only difference between man and the 'umu anumanu' which you mentioned is that God gave men advanced brains, not just to fill up the space in their skulls, but rather so they can be able to 'reason' and 'comprehend' above animals. When the bible says "cut out your eyes", the implied meaning is that you should get rid of anything (good or bad) that may cause you to sin.

In this case, if the existence of a sexy sumptuous employee is about to make me fall, there are 2 sensible options; its either I send her away (sack or transfer), or I send myself away (resign or transfer). In this case, I'm the boss who hired her, and it's my decision to make. If my decision to send her away annoys holier than thou people, then the hypocrites can kindly employ her. And next time, don't forget to pluck out you own eyes when you look at something you aren't meant to look at.

proclinician:
What is wrong with the man cutting off his eyes so he doesn't get to see this secretary just as the bible said

Kenneygirl:
Then if he can’t control himself, he should cut his dick off instead of firing her because he’s attracted to her. What has that got to do with her?

Go and cut off your own eyes and dicks simply because you dont want to sack your own employees who you hired. Na una get sense pass!

People always like to attack for everything. Fact is, I'll also sack any employee whose existence around me threatens my 'discipline'. Body no be firewood and 'Avoid' nor be 'fear'!

Anybody who thinks I'm irrationally wicked for saving my sanity and marriage should kindly hire the woman. Hypocrisy everywhere!

HacheNoire:
Beer parlour gist.

Far from reality

Beer parlour gist right? So kindly tell us what the reality is?

You really think people are just generally blind or just too daft not to see what's clearly going on?

Kindly explain why there has to be constant conflicts in southern Kaduna, Plateau and Benue between Fulanis and the locals but you never have these conflict in subdued northern communities where they've accepted Fulani rule?

HacheNoire:
False!
It's all hate for the president.

Fulani's have been living and cohabiting with other tribes for donkey years. All of a sudden, every crime is now attributed to them just because the President comes from the tribe.

Fulanis have never lived in peace with anyone, except in areas where the local tribes submit fully to Fulani authority. In Kaduna state for instance, southern Kaduna communities have refused for decades to concede to Fulani authority and they've never known peace. Something similar is happening in Plateau state, the Plateau people have refused to submit to Fulani authority, and since the 90's, we've never stopped hearing similar gory stories of midnight communal slaughters in these locations.

Just recently, the Fulanis have tried to break into Benue, and that explains the mindless killings and communal cleansing we've been reading of in recent times.

Make no mistakes, all of these did not start 2015; it only became popular in 2015 due to politics.

Arrewa:
How people of God easily find the will and courage to do this usually overwhelms me.
Islam, religion of peace. Christianity, religion of love. And yet, we experience neither peace nor love in this country

I wonder how many people still allow themselves to be deceived that these attacks have anything to do with religion. This is purely a tribal conquest, with one desperate tribe violently taking lands and enlarging their coast.

solmusdesigns:


If forced to pick an Ibo man, Northerners would only pick Delta Ibos or Ibos in South South

i dont blame them i really dont!! how they humiliated North and SouthWest during the first bloody coup... openly killing revered Northern and Southewestern Politicians and Military men, throwing them to rot on the street while they gloated on radio as being superior to others and then chest beating, or when Aguiyi ironsi and Constituitional Lawyer Prof Ben Nwabueze centralised our governance and filled civil service to brim with their kinsmen

go on Facebook and see grown ibos from SouthEast openly display hate, curse and insults on yorubas and Northerners, then check the ditribalised comments from SouthSouth .. this alone would give you insight of the reasons of mistrust
.

But this your submission isn't logical; the first bloody coup you talk of was led by a young soldier called Nzeogu who hails from current day Delta state in south south Nigeria.

Sunnycliff:
Imo politicians are the worst set of politicians in this country.

Imo: Nigeria's Capital of Political Runs Men and Food is ready Politicians.
By Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere

Lack of alternative means of sustainable survival has turned 80% of Imo politicians into shameless politicians who eat their vomit.

1. From 1999 to 2007...They wined and dined with Dr. Achike Udenwa and immediately the succession process started, they broke into aggressive camps ready to sink and destroy the man who fed them for 8 years.

2. Some followed ARARUME slept at his Isiebu Mansion but few seconds after Charles Ugwu was announced as the chosen one, they left Ararume and started praising Charles Ugwu who never won the primaries and left Ararume to stand in the Cold and they stopped going to Isiebu

3. Enter Chief Martin Agbaso: Immediately Martin Agbaso of APGA was announced as the chosen one, these same men moved without shame to Agbaso and started chanting "Ochudo the God sent"... After the election was declared inconclusive and a new one set, they jumped ship without waiting to finish the fight.

4. Enter Chief Ikedi Ohakim: Immediately Ohakim was announced as the consensus/compromise candidate under the PPA platform, these same men from PDP, APGA, ACN etc all flocked to the camp of Ohakim and the Chant of "Ochinawata" rented the air and they suddenly claimed that Ohakim was the messiah they have been waiting for.

5. Gang up against Ohakim : Immediately the bread and butter did not spread well, some of them now discovered that Ohakim was not the messiah and the kick him out mobilization and propaganda started. They moved from different allaince to another, from ACN to APGA and some back to PDP at last minute to collect money to remedy what they have already distroyed.

6. Enter Rochas: Rochas from a distant 3rd rating emerged victorious in the midst of these confusions and the same people who preached against Owelle didn't wait for swearing in to jump ship again and started worshipping Owelle in search of the their usual bread and butter.

The Dishonorable Honorable: the era of Owelle came with the emergence of empty stomach honorables who couldn't wait for the House to be composed before decamping and abandoning the party under which platform they were elected. With due respect this era started with late Benjamin Uwajimogu and his gang of food is ready honourables

Before Owelle could finish his 1st term and immediately after the 2015 election what ever that was left of these elements both from PDP, to APGA etc all emptied into Owelle faction of APC and even formed their Agburu camp.

7. Rochas last moments: In Furtherance of the New Imo Political tradition of anything goes, immediately succession time was announced, they broke into dangerous camp ready and willing to kill themselves. The fight got messy with Hope's last minute entrance into APC and before you could say jack, decampment and counter decampment was all over the air driven by selfish interest clothed under the guise of public interest.

AA to the rescue: majority of them moved to AA in a bid to enthrone the anointed Inlaw while the rest went to Hope, Ihedioha etc..
No Shame: same people who praised owelle as god, took campaign mic to tell us how evil their master once benefactor was, some Honourable members who passed budget without seeing the content for Owelle's sake now saw him as an evil man because their interests had been blocked.

By the time election was over they had all destroyed themselves and their name but could not emerge winner.

Enter Ihedioha: With emergence of Ihedioha, these same men who campaigned against Ihedioha could not wait for swearing before jumping ship and prasing Ihedioha in search of their bread and butter... The Speaker then, Acho Ihim who decamped to become Owelle's choice for Speaker and decamped to AA to become Uche Nwosu's Deputy Governorship could not not show any public restraint in dumping his Guber candidate who was at the Tribunal in decamping to PDP including other Honoourables and so called politicians of note.

Ihedioha was the beautiful star and they all crawled from their hideout to join him including the newly elected AA and APGA Honourables decamping to join his party

Enter Uzodinma: With the Supreme Court installation of Sen. Hope Uzodimma as Governor, before he could reach Owerri for his swearing in, these same Imo politicians have started flocking around him and telling stories of how they were the ones who delivered the non existing 388 units.

Before Uzodimma could reach Owerri in company of the same Okorocha and his anointed Inlaw that Hope claimed he came to rescue Imo from their hands, the Honourable members in following with the new tradition of "whereever Belle face na front " have dumped their parties and joined APC from their PDP, AA and APGA platform all in a bid to secure their big stomach and ensure food flows under the usual talk of supporting government to succeed. The usual cross carpeting is just starting with even the little unknown before PDP state Chairman whose only aspiration was to be Transition Committee Chairman of Okigwe LGA under Ohakim before Ihedioha helped install him as PDP Chairman has now abandoned the party he once led just a couple of weeks after losing at Supreme Court. The likes of Acho Ihim who crossed from PDP to APC to AA to PDP was seen again at the APC rally for Princess Onuoha crossing to APC again.

Across the state, these men of bread and butter whose only hope of surviving and feeding their families is to without shame follow anybody in power and eat their vomit in a bit to remain relevant have started their seasonal game which will continue to expand until the occupant is out and they will return to knock on the door of anybody as long as u hold the carrot of governance.

In Imo today, honour, consistency, value and respect to friendship is now irrelevant, thanks to the new political gangsters that have taken over the stage in the last 2 decades or so. Its now the politics of follow him if he has bread in his bag and betray him if his bread has finished.
Young ones are now learning very fast that in Imo politics honor is for the dogs and the few who keep faith and follow are seen as those who are mugu. When I look at myself and the over 10 years I have put in opposition politics and consistency to sacred values of friendship and still I did not die of hunger or beg for food, I ask my fathers and brothers in Imo and the masters of the new Imo Political runs traditions, when will these dances of Shame stop?

Cc: Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere.

Lol... Imo politicians are all hungry 'AGIP' men so this doesn't come as a surprise. Did you not see how Araraume and Uzodimma danced and popped champagne with Ihedioha after his election victory last year? They together celebrated the ouster of Rochas for 'chopping alone'. Fast-forward to less than a year later, SC announces Uzodimma winner and the same Araraume and Rochas were seen celebrating the ouster of Ihedioha for 'chopping alone' again. The people I pity are those who go on the street to physically fight for these politicians.

anonimi:
You are not being logical.
Should he not first ascertain the existence of the pregnancy before telling the fiancee?

Naaa... trust me bro, the fiancee would eventually find out, and it's best she hears it from him.

I know girls like Lola, I doubt she will play clean. If she's faking the pregnancy to win him over, or just to scam him, when she sees her game is over, she will play her last desperate card out of scorn, "if I cant win him, then no one should"; Lola will eventually break the news to the fiancee as a form of blackmail, and ig will be to his advantage if he has mentioned his predicament. Either way, he has a 50-50 chance of losing his fiancee.

Foodqueen:
The truth is that, that lady isn't pregnant. It's a plan with her friends to scam you, and you have already fall to their scam.

My advice:
Tell her you want to follow her to the hospital for confirmation
Tell her you want a DNA
Tell her you want to see her mother.

This was actually my initial thought; there's a fair probability the side chick isnt truly pregnant. I have a friend who went through a similar situation, the side chick actually barged in on him and his fiancee with the breaking news of pregnancy. Local man was seriously devastated, his fiancee was of course even more devastated and she moved out of his house. But at the end, it turned out to be 'audio' pregnancy.

The side chick in this case may have been trying to use the pregnancy to get his attention. But when he totally washed his hands off of her and the baby, she left disappointed. Only for her to return a month later following cunning advice from her sister to come scam some money out of him. N100k now paid, it's likely she will return a month later again to squeeze out some more money from the guy.

@Jeffmonti, all hope isn't yet lost. Now is time for you to pray to God for a miracle. Your fiancee has to know the truth; she will probably leave when she knows, but might forgive and take back your sorry ass if the pregnacy turns out not to be real, or if it's eventually not actually yours (remember Lola also bleeps her BF).
