Men are polygamous by nature and would always crave tasting another soup no matter how wonderfully tasty the soup they have is.

If a young house girl is placed in a home, no matter how much more beautiful and sexually satisfying the wife is, and no matter how morally upright the man is (be he a Bishop or Imam), as long as the man isn't impotent, if you place a young ripe lady who isn't his relative close to him at all times, the temptation to TOUCH will certainly come. And it only takes little things to tip the scale for such a man to fall into temptation.

We hear a lot of men (and even women) brag about how they can never stoop so low; but then, one day it happens like a surprise, and the devil takes the blame. In the words of GEJ, the only assured way to keep the goat from eating the yams is to keep the yams away from the goat. Joseph in the bible wasn't crazy when he ran away from Potiphah's wife, if he had spent extra 5 minutes in that room, he would had kpanshed her irrespective of his moral standing.

monex:
this is not a prosecution by PMB. This prosecution started in 2007. The sentencing was only delayed for 9 years because of his numerous appeal up to supreme court level.

he had fallen out of favor with the then PDP (was impeached and left the party) and both the Yaradua and GEJ governments.

Well unfortunately for you, I'm not here to start bantering of some Buharist or Jonathanian achievements. What remains a fact is that I finally get to see something which I longed for, i.e. a big man being convicted and sent to prison. And yeah, it happened during the time of Buhari, so please allow me the freedom to celebrate this.

Had it been the story went the other 'usual' way, i.e. "Federal High Court acquits Dariye of all charges", I'm sure you and your ilk would have jumped in here excitedly heaping the usual insults on Buhari for turning the man to a saint and not being able to achieve a single conviction. Now the story is different and you now choose to remember that it's the court and not Buhari's prosecution.

This 'food' was the principal reason I supported Buhari to be president. Unfortunately, 3 years after, and we've only been served with a single plate. Hopefully we would get more soon.

This one na real life vampire, literally sucking people's blood for a living

Pavarottii:
Sorry babangida annulled it. But abacha was the chief of staff who spearheaded the killings during the protest .

The desperation to also rope buhari into june 12 is just interesting as it unfolds. "Buhari served in abachas government and is Abachas friend, so therefore he is involved."

Meanwhile what about the president who released and gave presidential pardon to Al-Mustapha (Abachas chirf butcher) because of 2015 elections? .. cos it seems we are in a season of linking everyone to June 12.

Pavarottii:
It was abacha ( buharis man) who anulled it, not babangida.

Abacha annulled June 12 election. I'm learning nee things everyday on this forum

Lol... This Reno sef... Politics can be intetesting at times.

Meanwhile someone should remind me, who was it that released and gave presidential pardon to Major Al Mustafa (Abacha's chief butcher) before 2015 elections?

Lordave:
Was the original poster insinuating that the VP shouldn’t hold thanksgiving or you lack proper understanding?

And what is not factual about the original post, can you please point it out?

Your kind are the most dangerous yet the most fickle set of humans.

The report on this thread talks about a thanksgiving service held by the vp over a recent near miss. And then the other dude comes in and blasts the VP for incompetence.

Oga you do not need any tertiary level of comprehension or perception to understand that he was blasting the VP for daring to have a personal thanksgiving for his own life when numerous Nigerians were dying.

And so that precipitated my question, "does the man not have a right to thank his God for preserving his oen life again?"... So I'm sorry I dont know what you're blabbing about. Maybe if you were less bitter, you would have seen it differently.

chuksjuve:
And what ever happened to the thousand is people who have lost their lives , internally displace persons and millions who have lost their jobs and means of livelihood as a result of your cluless and incompetence in as vp?


Think about this!

Lordave:
Shut up he is not sadist you brainless zombie!

How does someone airing a factual opinion translate to being a sadist?

I can figure that his post made you really sad, so you’re the pathetic sadist here.

So the man doesn't have a right to thank his God for preserving his life again?... The way some people reason though... This one below even called it "factual opinion" but thinks someone else is a sadist. Too many deeply pained well bad-wishers around!

obibolamusa:
For those your post might actually misinform, I will reply you in four paragraphs each answering one paragraph. But, i will also advise that you simply google 'gas flaring in Nigeria' and read up one or 2 articles in journals, it will help more than me.

1. I stand by my assertion. The technology used to eliminate gas flaring such as 're-injection' is actually very very very costly. And its not your road side kind of technology so yes, ability to implement it must be sourced outside the country. The amount paid per cubic meter of gas flared is so small that oil companies rather pay it than spend such amount of money on technology. Guess what, its not up to 100 naira and that law has not been touched for almost 30 years. One law that could have addressed it is the PIB, but it was killed for selfish reasons by corrupt Nigerians benefiting from existing arrangments.Same PIB would have helped Nigeria Gas Master Plan which will in turn bring in investors that could have even invested into the technology to eliminating gas flaring so they will benefit. Not as if the NASS is not aware, believe me, they are. Dont forget that our oil exploration and exploitation is a joint venture, in case of any expenses to stop gas flaring, Nigeria will bear up to 60% cost of it. Only this alone has been one of the numerous factors hindering it among others.

2. Its now obvious you dont know what is gas flaring. The associated gases must be released before oil can come. Due to pressure and worst environmental hazards, they are burnt to reduce pressure. Its not of late that countries started implementing the technology. Some have achived more while some like Russia are still far including Nigeria. Its far cheaper to flare and thats why Russia dont care. All the associated gases na market, serious money, and you somehow believe that if its easy for the oil companies to do, they wouldnt have been collecting it and selling?.. Google 'gas flaring + re-injection'.


3. Well, i advise that you read up articles, i simply dont know how i will help you in this your assertion. Please, selling of gas has never been a problem for Nigeria. please, dont believe you know.. use google..

4. Na wa ooo.. When has excess product become a problem in Nigeria? I dont know if you maybe you stay outside the country but am very sure you are simply saying what you think is right. or maybe you think am against Buhari and you are defending him at which point i doubt if i can be of any help to you.

Wonderful wonderful! I am totally amazed at how a person has an understanding of a more complex technical concept (gas injection), but still remains incapable of seeing or discerning something as simple as selling a valuable resource which is being wasted. So you actually think the best use of natural gas is injecting it back into the earth? Wow!

From all you've said above, it's obvious you do not even know we're talking about natural gas here; a very vital energy resource which is in great demand both in Nigeria and all over the world. Within the boundaries of your understanding, you obviously think the gas we talk of is merely some waste bye-product of oil production which everyone suffers a burden of trying to dispose? I commend you for your understanding of the concept of gas injection, but you actually still have more topics to learn; I suggest you start from the basics first such as "the uses of natural gas" before you delve into the more complex subjects such as gas injection.

Just incase you arent aware, natural gas is a cleaner energy source than your petrol and diesel. You asked if I lived outside the country, yes I do, and in my flat in the UK, when I walk into my kitchen, I cook my meals with natural gas which is piped to my house; in winter, I also power up my boilers which heat up my house with natural gas, a commodity which I pay for dearly. A friend of mine working with FlourMills in Lagos narrated recently how his company spends over N20million per week on diesel to power their production; he also explained how their power generation cost drops by over 80% when they use natural gas (cos they actually have gas piped to them but supply is limited to 1 day a week because Nigeria unfortunately has only a single dilapidated 'militant infested' pipeline supplying gas to the entire Lagos industries and power stations). I'm sure you must have heard numerous times about how our thermal power stations are shutdown due to the all too frequent excuse, "gas constraints"? But with all of this, you still think the best thing to do with the gas produced in Nigeria is injection?

I work in the oil industry and this is my speciality, so while you ask me to visit google, I can assure you that you need it more in this subject. My company recently finished working on a subsea gas development in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian sea (google shah deniz 2). It's a $26billion development to extract just natural gas (no oil) for sale to the entire Europe. Natural gas is a very vital economic resource which is sold for money just like oil but you think the best thing to do with this jewel in Nigeria is to re-inject it to the ground?

Just for your education, the BEST THING to do with associated gas is to have it sold by piping it to consumers (both locally and internationally) or it could be liquefied and transported by LNG vessels to far away buyers. But when there isn't a capacity to sell the gas (i.e. lack of pipelines or LNG plants), the produced gas becomes a burden to the oil companies, and that's when the next option comes up, i.e. disposing the gas by injecting it back into the reservoirs with the added advantage of improving reservoir pressure. But then again, when there isnt a capacity to sell and the companies want to avoid the cost of re-injecting, they simply flare the gas and pay the little fine that comes with it.

So my dear friend, before you talk of disposing the produced gas by injecting or flaring, you first have to talk of the possibility of selling/utilising the gas; I would imagine this should be very simple common sense logic. So yeah, back to the topic, it will be a very good development if a pipeline can be built to sell the natural gas which Nigeria currently wastes.

In summary, I said Nigeria flares (disposes) gas because it does not have the right infrastructure to sell or utilise it; you said I was wrong and claimed Nigeria flares gas because it does not have technology to inject it (dispose). For the love of God, what sense does it make to dispose a vital resource that can be sold for revenue?... Your argument made no logical or rational sense, that was the reason I assumed you were speaking from the angle of politics like several others on this thread who have no clue on the subject.

Edu3Again:
Why we go happy taking our resource to Mohammedans

Resources that is being burnt away on a daily basis and of which the burning inflicts monumental environmental damage?... Now moves are being made to sell and make money out of this resource instead of burning it and damaging the environment, but some people still have problems with this.

Of course from the onset of this thread, it was clear that a toxic mixture of politics and ignorance was responsible for the pointless responses so far on the thread.

Chuksaluta:
It has nothing to do with gas flaring, gas flaring is more of an operational thing and not because of low gas demand.

Point of correction, this also has everything to do with gas flaring. Nigeria flares gas because it does not have the necessary infrastructure in place to use or sell the gas.

methodyk:
Please educate them more. Most youths have big phones all to struggle for FTC and book on bet9ja. They will never learn; yet they spew their Ignorance with audacity whenever they deem fit.

The person you quoted was very very wrong; you both actually need a little education. Here's my response:

obailala:
Huh?! Nigeria burns away billions of dollars yearly through flaring of useful natural gas but you actually think the reason is because of an inability to review some petty laws or lack of technology?... Wow!.. That's a very erroneous assertion!

Are you aware that natural gas is far far cheaper than diesel to run power generating plants?... There are thousands of industries scattered around Nigeria running on diesel and which could have their production costs cut down by over 50% if they had access to that gas being burnt away in the delta region. But it is one thing to have excess gas in the oil production fields and it is another thing to get that gas to the doorsteps of consumers who need it. If I may even ask, what exactly is the "technology" you talk about which is lacking?.. Technology to make the associated gas disappear without having to be flared?

FYI, the simple reason Nigeria still flares gas is because we do not have the necessary infrastructure to utilize the gas locally or to sell the gas in the international market. By infrastructure I mean, the necessary gas distribution pipeline network to get the gas from the production fields to the door steps of industrial and domestic consumers, or trans-national export pipelines to deliver the gas to international consumers. Good thing we currently have the NLNG plant which liquefies and sells a microscopic fraction of Nigeria's gas, but in order to end flaring, Nigeria would need over 10 of NLNGs, in addition to trans-national pipelines and local distribution pipelines to get gas to industries. For all these to be fulfilled, it would cost several tens of billions of dollars; the dearth of these funds, coupled with the typical Nigerian factor (corruption and bad leadership) is the reason Nigeria still languishes with flaring.

Once again I would state it clearly that any initiative such as this which can enable Nigeria make money out of the enormous gas resources it burns away daily is a very welcomed idea. I'm not aware of the current progress of the west African gas pipeline, but if Nigeria through any kind of help whatsoever can get a gas pipeline to Morocco, then that automatically connects us to the European (gas thirsty) market. So I struggle to see how anyone can think this is a bad development, except such a person is only capable of viewing things from the angle of politics.

GoodMuyis:
Over 60% of NLG is being flared (release to air), so we have abundant, what we need is price cut

There isn't any need for any reduction in gas prices, gas already is far far cheaper than diesel for power generating plants even in homes and industries. What we need is the transmission and distribution infrastructure (pipelines) to get the gas to gas thirsty industrial and domestic consumers all around the country and internationally.

obibolamusa:
please, we are not flaring gas cos there is no means to sell them.

We flare gas cos we refuse to review our gas emission laws and bring in technologies.

Oil companies pay for any volume of gas flared but its very tiny compared to harm caused and the fund for re-injection.

The oil companies are ever ready to play their part, with the way naija is broke now, stopping gas flaring is still far.

plus, do you know how many such projects that have been started and left half way?

This is a wrong move in the wrong direction.

Talk to me about singning contracts to bring in technology that will eliminate gas flaring.

Huh?! Nigeria burns away billions of dollars yearly through flaring of useful natural gas but you actually think the reason is because of an inability to review some petty laws or lack of technology?... Wow!.. That's a very erroneous assertion!

Back to sender... May this your wish only come to pass in your family and your future generations. Amen!

PapaBrowne:
Weve not used the gas to power our own country we are looking for how to buld pipeline to send it to West Africa and Europe.

These guys are literally brain frozen! How we end up with these kinds of leaders is still a mystery

Some people just take it as a personal duty to oppose any and everything the government does simply because they dearly hate the people heading the government.

Nigeria has excess gas which is being burnt off daily though gas flaring in the delta region because we do not have the means to either utilise or sell the gas. Any initiative or venture which can help Nigeria reduce/eliminate gas flaring and gain income from the wasted gas is a very welcomed development.

Every initiative shouldnt be a platform for playing politics.

Stainlessq:
Kept your food to yourself. stop poisoning our kids! the north needs it most

DrGoodman:
No igbo family will accept free food. Another school run looming, we better teach our kids at home. Send the food to those who need them.

Malawian:
Please i want to ask, the cooks who prepare these food for our kids, where were they recruited from? who supervises what they cook for our kids? Hope such supervision (if any) is done at all locations and at all times? It only takes one bad batch to sterilize those kids forever... if it hasn't been done already.

Masterppower:
No Igbo family will let their children eat that poisoned food offered to idols

The people who think they need the food are already accepting it, but these ones are out here online pouring out hatred mixed with arrogance

Good observation...

Forward thinking leaders from other regional states should come together to make this a reality. It shouldn't be left to AkwaIbom state government alone.

Lol... and we've been wondering why Vanguard newspaper has since gone to the dogs even when such a putrid waste has been occupying such a sensitivr position.

Things we brought on ourselves...

Lol, only if you know what asylum is. Anu mpama!!

Ahhh! Chukwu ekwena ihe ojoo!.. How can I know more about your own dwelling than you do?

PassingShot:
Kudos to him.

At least our Igbo brothers and sisters now have someone not aboki to support and vote for. With Duke in the race, no need to call anyone a slave to the Fulanis even though majority of them support Atiku who's also a Fulani Muslim.

Some folks already saying they cant support Duke because he opposed their god (GEJ).

Africonji:
As much as I like Owelle Rochas Okorocha, I think he should look into the substandard works of his contractors before they disgrace his reputation.

The disgrace has already been fulfilled. When substandard projects are done, it takes more money to fix them.

emmachukwu99:
Lol, no. You started this sh!t. Take it, it's all urs.. Meanwhile, since you started mentioning family, share with urs OK? Anu ofia.

Lol... this patient has escaped again from asylum.

Either way, GTB is loosing it's credibility for not resolving the issue up til now..

Anyone who wants to buy innoson vehicle will not hesitate because he's having issues with GTB but banking customers will think twice before dealing with GTB..
My opinion

In this regard, all Nigerian banks are the same; killers of businesses! You only heard of this case because Innocent is a 'big man' and some fellows turned it into a tribal matter.

What's this for?

PointZerom:
May 29 to June 12 nko?

Any other thing can be done, but please stop changing the names of old institutions.

PointZerom:
So many establishments and institutions in the world has been renamed b4 now even Humans do change their names for certain reasons. Naming Unilag MKO Abiola University will even make the name 'MKO to be on the lips and minds of people from generation to generation.

I have no links with Unilag but I personally just hate the idea of naming or renaming schools after people. But then again, people with attachments to the name UNILAG rejected the idea. So can we please move on?

Omeokachie:
It's now getting a little boring...

You were the one wailing over nonsense, when you get tired, go back to sleep. Cheerio!

PointZerom:
MKO Abiola University and GCFR or June 12 democracy day, which one will make your generation after 50yrs asks "who's MKO?.

Just dont change the name of an already existing brand simply because you want to honour whoever. Is that too difficult to understand? ... They could have as well built a brand new university and named it whatever they liked. I'm not an alumnus of UNILAg, and neither do I have any links with Unilag, but heck! Nothing pisses me off more than changing the name of already established institutions (especially to the name of people) all because of some petty eye service politics.
