There is absolutely nothing wrong with the idea of radio frequency to reach out herders in the forests; initiatives like this have existed for a long time. But you can't blame Nigerians for being paranoid whenever they hear the sound of the words "Fulani Herdsmen".

Clarke may be right about the alliance but he's so wrong about 2011. Yorubas supported Jonathan in 2011 while the north were against. The Old man should stop twisting history.

Pdp giving its slot to the North would be a huge gamble because it won't favor them at the end of the day.... Hoping the north would give them massive votes in return is not enough to guarantee a win for them.

Just look for someone worthy enough in the south because an average Yoruba man won't even endorse a Tinubu presidency. Though I know the APC would be smarter than to give the slot to him and Tinubu himself knows when to take a bow.

I think that was a twist of the tongue, I believe he meant to say "in 2011, the Yorubas and Igbos supported Jonathan overwhelmingly and that's why he won. The 2011 election was an eye opener which proved that the so called northern political domination can actually be broken, but only if the entire south aligns for a common goal.

Twerking on IG alone doesn't give one a house. She obviously twerked on something else too.

But then again, I must say she's lucky cos many girls have been twerking on several trees for ages but can barely even afford recharge cards for their phones. More grease to your waist madam.

When did obj built the one from warri to ajaokuta?

A long time ago... the rail currently connecting Warri to Ajaokuta was started but abandoned at inception a very long time ago. OBJ revived it and constructed over 80% of it before it was abandoned again in 2007.

Iceman2017:

Somebody that cannot use his office to impact to his people is a nonentity.
No railway has passed to Portharcut just because of his fuse with wike.
If you like construct railway to all the northern states and western States, they will never love or trust you.
You are yeebos to them and a Biafra.
Learn from okoracha and never abandon your people

Saying no rail has crossed PH because of a feud between Amaexhi and Wike is undoubtedly the dumbest statement I've read online in a while.

Oga, these railways are capital intensive and its not Amaechi's fault that Nigeria currently cannot boast of the resources to build several of these in different parts of the coutry at the same time.

When OBJ (a man from the SW) started these railways, he only built the one from Warri to Ajaokuta steel. GEJ (a SS man) built Abuja to Kaduna. Now Buhari (a NW man) is building Lagos to Ibadan rail. But here you are, blaming Amaechi (a mere minister under Buhari) for not siting the railway in his village because of fuse abi na feud with Wike.

A health care worker in the UK praying for a patient is known as STEALING TIME ON THE JOB

There's no such thing as 'stealing time on the job' if what the health practitioner is doing can help the patient recover.

It's a part of the duty of health care practitioners to counsel and encourage patients under their care to give them hope, which in turn aids recovery. If a health care practitioner offers to pray for a patient and the patient consents to it, then that's a part of the job and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

You guys should quit all these your anti-religious ideologies and arguments. All those who want to practice their faith do so in peace.

Have you now read this ?A nurse who offered a bible to a cancer patient and encouraged him to sing The Lord is My Shepherd was fairly dismissed, a court has ruled.

Sarah Kuteh was given the sack from her job at Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford, Kent, in 2016 for repeatedly talking to patients about her faith and handing out a bible, in breach of Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) rules.


A ruling, published last week by the Court of Appeal, stated that on June 3 2016 a patient at the hospital had complained about Ms Kuteh's conduct.

The court heard how the patient likened the incident to a 'Monty Python skit', which he said was 'very bizarre' - in which she encouraged him to sing along with Psalm 23 with her.

The ruling, which upheld a decision that she was fairly dismissed by the Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust, stated: "On 20 June 2016, the Complaints Department noted a call from a patient being treated for cancer concerning his assessment by the Claimant on 3 June 2016.

"He had replied "open minded" to the question on the form concerning religion and alleged the Claimant had told him that the only way he could get to the Lord was through Jesus.

"(She) told him she would give him her bible if he did not have one; gripped his hand tightly and said a prayer that was very intense and went "on and on"; and asked him to sing Psalm 23 [The Lord is My Shepherd] after which he was so astounded that he had sung the first verse with her.

"He described the encounter as 'very bizarre' and 'like a Monty Python skit'.

The court documents also point to a number of other incidents, in which Ms Kuteh told a bowel cancer patient in April 2016 'that if he prayed to God he would have a better chance of survival'

Another complaint, again in April 2016, came from a patient who said Ms Kuteh 'spent more time talking about religion than doing the assessment', and another, the same month, came from a patient who said they didn't want to see Ms Koteh as they 'didn't like preaching'.

Miss Kuteh, a 50-year-old mum of three, was suspended from her job in June 2016 and sacked for gross misconduct in August the same year, with her dismissal upheld by an employment tribunal later the same year.

She appealed the ruling of the tribunal in 2017, but failed in her bid to have her sacking overturned, but was allowed to work as a nurse again in July last year after her working restrictions were lifted by the Nursing and Midwifery Council.


Ms Kuteh, however, appealed for a second time against her sacking to the Court of Appeal - saying the employment tribunal had 'failed to consider the correct interpretation of the NMC Code and the distinction between appropriate and inappropriate expressions of religious beliefs'.

She also said the tribunal had failed to acknowledge that Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights - Freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs - was 'applicable' and to 'consider the fact-sensitive distinction between true evangelism and improper proselytism'.

Judges at the Court of Appeal, however, rejected the nurse's most recent appeal, saying she was not unfairly dismissed in a ruling published last week.

The Christian Legal Centre - which represents Ms Kuteh - said she is currently in discussion with her legal team to consider her next step.

You were wrong.

I wasn't wrong in any way whatsoever. I clearly stated there was nothing wrong and no crime in preaching or praying for a patient IF THE PATIENT CONSENTS TO IT. From the report above, the patient or patients clearly weren't consenting but she forced it on them notwithstanding; the difference is very clear, you don't force your religious beliefs on people.

Meanwhile your entire argument all along was about why a hospital wouldn't attend to a walk-in patient before their official opening hour; my argument with you on this thread was that hospitals all over the world have official consultation times and wouldn't attend to you if you walk in outside their official consultation times. It doesn't matter what they were doing when you walked in (be it prayer or whatever), simply wait for your appointment hour; their prayer isn't your problem.

Perhaps those who you voted for several years back didn't deem it necessary to attend to the roads. But gullibly, you still voted for the same PDP in the last election

Oga don turn the matter to pdp vs apc. Now it's obvious why you are fighting everyone on this thread who has pointed out that progress of work on that (and on many other) roads is terribly slow. Take a chill pill bro election don pass. No be only you be apc supporter.

Afamed:
The % completed is inconsequential as of now. From my personal eye witness, these sections of Enugu / Onitsha from Umunya down to Akwuzu roads have been under construction since December till date and there is no single day,the contractors left the site for any reason.This is highly commendable

I beg to differ.. if the construction is going to take 10 years to complete, then that's not good enough, there's really nothing to celebrate there. The last time I passed that road (several years back), it was hell. If only a tiny portion of the road has been fixed so far, that means the hell still persists.

Chimok:
The thickness of that road is quite commendable. I passed there this afternoon and I truely couldnt believe what I was seeing.. With this quality, this road will still be intact in the next 20yrs

What percentage of the entire road has been completed?

Cool. This is the result of good home training.

Only a sissy would hit a lady due to verbal provocation.
And they do so because they witnessed it growing up.

Men spank their women in the oda room. If you know...

The video is truly a perfect example of home training. The girl obviously was doing what she sees at home all the time, she was just nudging the boy to hit her...

kense88:
Can you tell me the importance of the champions league final between Tottenham and Liverpool or the importance heavy weight boxing match between Anthony Joshua and deontay wilder. You might not like bbnaija just like me, but others actually do. Learn to respect that.

You've said it all... I see all those who constantly castigate BBN as just kids or immature adults trying to force maturity on themselves. There are many who actually think not watching or not liking BBN is a sign of maturity or wisdom.

How can any sound and enlightened adult not understand the concept of 'entertainment' and its place in a functional society?

shadelek:
To be candid, I don't know the importance of this TV program called bbnaija. How has this program contribute to the development of the nation or what are the positive influence of the program on Nigerian youth?

ENTERTAINMENT! BBN gets a large number of people entertained. A question you should also candidly ask yourself is the importance of football and how football leagues like the English Premiership has contributed to the development of the nation and its positive influence on Nigerian youth.

To be candid, I find it hard to understand how many Nigerians do not understand the concept of entertainment. Its also strange that many also expect the things that entertain them to also entertain others.

Awaiting response by Ondo state government.

Justdare:
You built behind a canal and wondering if we have a government in this country. Obviously we don't. If we did the house should be rubbles by now.
Flagrant disobedience of building laws and you come online whipping up useless sentiments.

How did you arrive at this conclusion that the house was built on a prohibited spot?... The house is behind a canal, are you suggesting that any house close to a canal is illegal?

The way Nigerians jump into wild conclusions just to avail themselves an opportunity to judge people is truly bizarre.

Whatever the case bro, such sentences is not expected from a so-called woman of God. Not even anyone!.
In fact, a woman is NOT even supposed to preach in the church. Thats not her place. But let's just leave that...you might still want to 'attack' me on this....even after giving you biblical proves, you might also come up with your own biblical proves too, which is OKAY.

So bro, May God bless you sir.
Shalom.
Bye.

What exactly is the sentence that shouldn't be expected from a so-called woman of God?... the advice for women to ignore side chicks?... After advising women to pray and seek God's intervention, I guess you would have then expected her to ask the women to go and fight the side chicks and break their legs right (would that have been a more biblically sound advice)?.... I'm sure if you were around during the days when Jesus walked the earth, you would also have murmured from the back of the crowd when he advised us to turn the other cheek when struck; you would have probably also used unprintable words on Him just like the Pharisees who felt they were very holy an all too wise.

I don't know how old you are but I'm guessing the woman should be way older than you. Since you're trying to be so spiritual, being so biblical, what's your own biblical justification for the barrage of insults you've been leveling on the woman?... Did the bible not warn us to respect elders?

Pause for a moment and imagine she was your mother; would you still freely release the kind of insulting words you've been using on her?

peteruuu:
I mean she ought to make the wives realise the importance of prayers from the wives to their husbands. Perhaps, the husbands might repent and turn away from their wicked ways.

Once again, that woman is a f***sh woman

Seems like you derive pleasure in insulting people?... You must feel very fulfilled with this.

Did you listen to the full sermon by the lady before coming to this your conclusion that she hasnt already advised prayers?...

If she advises prayer, counselling and for the victim to ignore the side chick (who is only getting remnants), you dont need to be told that the media and journalists will only hear and report the catchy "ignore the sidechick bit"... and you know why they only report that part of the message only?... It's because they know it will easily excite people like you into displaying your insulting talents online.

peteruuu:
No sir. What happens to prayers and counselling? What happens to repentance?
As a so-called pastor, she ought to advice and counsel them on how the husbands will repent and stay faithful. Jesus Christ never taught us like This!

Repentance?... is it the woman nursing the hurt of a cheating husband that needs repentance?

Fourwinds:
>Act unbothered when the side chick brings an illegimate child to their home due to her husband promiscuity.

and a smart and scheming side chick can take over the man, turning the wife into obscure, hidden, first wife.

And aside this a married woman supposed be worried if her husby dey play outside cos HIV is real.

The question I asked before was, "what exact advice would you expect a pastor to give to a woman nursing the hurt of a cheating husband?"... We all know the health implications but what advice do you expect a pastor to give the woman?... She should go fight the side chick?... or divorce the husband?

dominique:
Why can't she preach against adultery entirely? For her to be advising women on how to handle side chicks shows she is indirectly endorsing adultery which contravenes one of the 10 commandments.

When Jesus Christ advised that if you're slapped on the left cheek, instead of retaliating, you should turn the right cheek; going by your above logic, can we all now conclude that Jesus was indirectly ENDORSING violence? How on earth do people come up with all these bizarre interpretations and conclusions?

Who doesn't already know that adultery is wrong?... She was advising on what to do after discovering adultery and here you are, saying she endorses adultery. This one tire me!

iTearHerToto:
"Why must you kill yourself because one useless girl slept with your husband. Don't ever go and fight with the woman just pop up your dressing and make sure you walk in a way that she will see you and let are know you are not bothered. Ajeku mi lo n je.


Coming from a Reverend

SageMK:
She's indirectly saying two shìtty things —

1. Married women should tolerate cheating.

2. They should upgrade their dressing sense to compete with the sidechick. Seriously who ordained this foól?

peteruuu:
As in....! That woman is f***sh. I just pity the gullible followers that has refused to study their bible's too.
Anything just goes well with them. Our Lord never taught us anything like This!.

I'm just curious, what other advice would you guys have preferred the female pastor to give?... I suppose you would have been happier if she advised women to go and fight or pour acid on the side chicks right?... 9r maybe the women should just divorce the cheating husband?

People will never grow up, APC knows that majority of nigerians are gullible and easily deceived.

Before elections they were calling Atiku a thief, now the thief has taken them to court, instead of them to prove just one corruption against Atiku they are saying he is not a nigerian.

That means all the corruption claims on Atiku are blatant lies and propaganda.

You miss the point totally. Tracka has nothing to do with APC or PDP. They send the exact same set of questions to all senators and Reps members irrespective of party affiliation. And a lot of legislators respond like normal humans. But some (both from APC and PDP) refuse to respond just like Bruce is doing now. You cant blame Bruce, just like typical arrogant Nigerian politians, they believe they owe nobody an explanation on anything. Accountability has never been the culture of useless Nigerian leaders and it's a crying shame that someone like Ben Bruce who we thought was enlightened and different would be the one doing this rubbish.

indigenous234:
Majority of the response to this post is a pointer to how the APC returned to power.

Nigerians are mostly stupid.

Can the senator execute the projects he so nominated? No.

Can the senator award the contracts for the projects he nominated? No.

Can the senator bid for the contracts he nominated? No.

Is there a process that guides the awards of contracts in the MDA's ? Yes.

Does this "process" in any way, empower the the senator to nominate contractors for his nominated projects in the MDA's budget ? No.

From whose account is the contracts paid for, the MDA or the senator ? The MDA.

On whose budget does the nominated projects appear? The MDA or the senator? ? The MDA.

Please people.... Grow some sense.

The questions directed at Ben Bruce were very simple questions bordering on responsibility and accountability. His tantrums were unexpected and utterly disappointing from someone of his calibre who we thought should be an advocate of progressive leadership and accountability.

Nobody says Bruce collected or ate any money, the simple question had to do with his duty on oversight. What is the progress on the projects you nominated?...

So if his constituents asked him to clamour for the construction of a specific road in Brass LGA and he successfully gets the project captured in the budget, what exactly is he going to tell his constituents if they ask him on the progress of the project?... Is he also going to tell them off or do you think it makes common sense for him to deflect the questions and direct them to Fashola or the MDAs?

jaxxy:
He replied why don’t they do their findings and then get back. Bt then is he saying he did nothing for his constituency over these 4years or just 2018? From what I understand the money was released bt did not get to him. Quite strange.

Why exactlt does he feel so hig to simply respond to simple questions directed at him. Numerous senators and Reps members responded to the simple question on the progress of the projects they sponsored. Why exactly would Senator Bruce feel so big to answer a simple question?... The man disappointed me big time with his needless rants and arrogance. Ben Bruce is someone I would have expected to be an advocate supporting NGOs like Tracka.

Senator Bruce really disappointed me with his needless rants against tracka. It's an absolute show of shame voming from someone who prides himself as a progressive leader and an advocate of accountability and common sense.
