The last time I met Comrade Adams Oshiomole was In the Early days of 2002, I was Student Union Leader,who believed in the principles the Comrade stood for,I left home that morning to Join a protest called by the Comrade ,he was then President of the Nigerian labour Congress( NLC).
It was a march against the impunity that characterised the manner in which the Obasanjo Administration continuously hiked petroleum prices. As he spoke to us that day ,I was inspired . He outlined how the policies of government has consistently impoverished the people,taking from the poor and giving to the rich, not even his subsequent arrest later could dampen my spirits. I believed I have found a Nigerian who will cue behind the masses no matter the odds,with Oshiomole in the Lead I was willing to go on any protest march because I believed he was a man of Integrity and great Compassion.

Its been almost 12 years since that encounter and it seems the man I knew has completely changed .
As I watched the video of his complete humiliation of a widow struggling to make ends meet , my heart bled ,the words that were to come out from his mouth moments later threw me into a state of depression.

For a state governor to bark at widow is harsh enough, but tell that same widow to go and die is the height of Cruelty.

Pope Francis has shown the world what it means to be compassionate and as practising Catholic we expected more from the comrade.
Nevertheless , great leaders are known for turning weakness into strength and Adversity into opportunity, searching for that widow will not be difficult, like Og Mandino once said
“Extend to each person, no
matter how trivial the contact,
all the care and kindness and
understanding and love that
you can muster, and do it with
no thought of any reward. Your
life will never be the same
again.”

Our Comrade needs to apologise, his behaviour was completely unacceptable no matter the circumstance.
Somehow, I pray Nigerians will find the space in their hearts to forgive him.

Op you will, read this your thread in one months time and regret every word you penned down ,it has happened to me before .

last night I tried to justify Oshio babas actions but the more I replayed the video the more I see the cruelty in the whole stuff .
Its simply unacceptable.

For a long long time to come Oshiomole will be undisputed poster child for Gov cruelty and lack of compassion .
When I followed him as an undergraduate in 2002 to protest the Fuel price hike I never knew power could transform him so quickly,
But he can still turn this blunder in his favour if he is wise ,

The man simply forgot that in the 21st century even akara seller can bring down a gov

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

Members of the “new PDP” in the House
of Representatives have begun a
systematic retreat from the party
following the defection of five of the G-7
governors to the opposition All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Governors Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers,
Murtala Nyako of Adamawa, Rabiu
Kwankwanso of Kano, Ahmed Abdulfatah
of Kwara had on Tuesday dumped the
PDP and announced their merger with the
APC.
But in a surprise move, members of the
House of Representatives from these
states, who overwhelmingly pledged
allegiance to their governors when they
moved to form the nPDP as a faction of
the party, have now made a move seen to
be for the protection of their interests.
The lawmakers of the nPDP and
mainstream PDP yesterday met as a
caucus in a closed-door meeting presided
over by the deputy speaker, Hon. Emeka
Ihedioha, and leader of the House, Hon.
Mulikat Akande-Adeola, where they
decided that it was time to take steps to
protect their stakes and in the overall
interest of the country rather than follow
the commands of their governors.
After discussions, they resolved that the
way forward for them would be to meet
with President Goodluck Jonathan next
week to discuss on how exactly they could
work out the crisis in the party without
anybody being hounded.
“We discussed as one party. There was
nothing like new PDP and old PDP. The
main thing we discussed was how to
dissociate ourselves from the crisis within
the party and the defection by some
governors to the APC,” a lawmaker who
craved anonymity stated.
When asked what has changed since the
last time when they supported their
governors’ decision by signing up for the
nPDP, he said: “We know what we want
for ourselves. Some of us are not really
into the crisis but we had to show loyalty
to our governors.”
Another major issue that was raised at the
meeting was the need to change the point
man between the presidency and
members of the House. They said he was
not reliable in his dealings on their behalf.
It was thereafter that they resolved that
the House, led by the speaker Hon. Aminu
Waziri Tambuwal, meet President
Jonathan to have a dialogue with him on
their demands.
“Part of our demands is to know
specifically what is in it for us, if we decide
to give full support to our great party,”
the lawmaker added.

Count me In

Seriously, I don't know when it has become a crime to earn a living in APC controlled states .
The statement might signal the End of Oshios political career if he does not wake up and lift up that Widow.
This APC govs should have some human face,is the unbelievable tax and demolition of poor mend cribs part of the progressivenes ?

This widow will not DIE

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

Afam4eva: Now, he wants to humble himself. There's nothing as good as humility. This is a player that was in the starting 11 for his country but due to pride, he's now begging for a shirt. Anyways, let him prove himself and he may just be called backj. But i assure him that it won't be easy to break in like that.

Afam I can't agree with you More , he had a shirt anytime any day but felt he was irreplaceable, I can't believe he had such kind words for Keshi , Odemwingie Humbled at last

Is this guy serious ?

Cardiff City striker, Osaze Odemwingie, has
stated his desire to represent Nigeria at the Fifa
World Cup in Brazil in 2014.
The former West Brom striker, who has 55 caps
for Nigeria was last involved with the national
team about a year ago and has since been
overlooked by coach Stephen Keshi.
Odemwingie, who made a deadline day move
from West Brom to Cardiff City in the summer,
wants to join the likes of Gary Medel and Kim Bo-
Kyung, whose countries, Chile and South Korea
respectively, have both qualified to appear in
Brazil.
“I was in the Nigeria squad for the last World Cup
finals in South Africa and I would love the chance
to go again,” Odemwengie told Welsh portal,
WalesOnline.
Odemwingie believes if he has a massive season
for Cardiff City, then he is in with a shout to be
recalled by Nigeria to fight for a shirt in the team.
“Why not? Certainly, I believe I have a chance
and when it comes I would be delighted,” he said
after Cardiff drew 2-2 with Manchester United
last weekend.
“I haven’t been selected lately because the coach
is making changes to the squad.
“It affected all the older players so the situation
wasn’t friendly, but he has insisted that any
player who is active and eligible will have a
chance to play at the World Cup so we will see.
“Playing for my country in Brazil would mean so
much to me. Brazil is even more popular
football-wise so it will be great if it happens.”
Nigeria beat Ethiopia 4-1 on aggregate to qualify
for the football fiesta for the fifth time in their
history and Odemwingie feels it will take a lot of
hard work if he is going to get into the squad.
“Playing in the Premier League can only help me,”
Odemwingie stated. “No player will be in the
squad unless they do well for their various clubs.
Odemwingie made his Nigeria debut in 2002 and
has represented Nigeria at the 2010 World Cup in
South Africa.
He was also a silver medallist at the Beijing 2008
Olympics with the Under-23 Olympic team who
lost to Argentina in the gold medal match.

APC is already fighting corruption

With 1 Billion for every Kilometre road. Construction has been made more easier

With Payments for Owambe birthday parties levies made compulsory who wants to loose Tinubu Bedroom primaries

Drowning of the Masses with illegitimate and excessively High taxes who needs an Armed robber

Yes APC will fight Corruption I agree but first let

Fashola declare how much he funnels to those Consultants and How much IGR is generated monthly as requested using the FOI ,for 3 years the guy has been dodging

2. Let Rochas tell the whole world what he did with the Billions that ended up in uncompleted Round abouts

3 let APC tell us what it will Do with all The EFCC cases hanging over the neck of the G7 governors

Then we might take them seriously
GOD BLESS NIGERIA

None of these nPDP Govs can survive in APC they are used to the free life of dictating to all including the president.

With Tinubu aand Buhari virtually dictating all that happens in APC even Bafarawa is beginning to realise he made a Huge mistake.
How can the leadership of APC visit a state twice and the Leader of the party in the state was not informed ? On both occasion!

Ask abacha and CPC legislators Buhari is Bad nice , ACN
Usually have their primaries in Tinubus Bedroom now that they have merged primaries for northern APC will be held in Buharis Bedroom while Tinubu will dictate the List for Akande from his ,
this guys will soon realise that 1 KM road = 1 billion plus begging .

[quote author=Baba_Eleko]Reno is a zombie.[/quote]You don't have to Abuse people to proove any point that's a violation, keep of the thread if you don't have anything reasonable to contribute .

The special assistant to President Goodluck
Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri took to
the social media platform Twitter reacting to
the merger of the new-PDP with the
opposition party, APC after prolonged
negotiations.
The G-7 governors had, on Tuesday, defected
to the opposition party APC after a closed door
meeting in Abuja where they finally reached a
decision to embrace the opposition.
Below is what Omokri had to say about the
development:

Disloyalty is a habit and its only a matter of
time before men who are disloyal to their
mother would become disloyal to their step

Three Reasons You
Should Never Marry
for Love

People who don't marry for love in
our culture are considered unlucky,
suspect, manipulative, exploitative,
and bad. From our perspective, they
are either doing something wrong or
there is something wrong with them.
It makes us feel a range of emotions
for them -- everything from sympathy
to contempt, because most of us were
taught that love is the only "right"
reason to tie the knot.
But if you really think about it, love is
a luxury. When you marry for love, it
generally means you have all -- or at
least most -- of your other needs met
(like food, shelter, warmth, etc). That
may explain why those with fewer
financial resources also have lower
marriage rates: If you're worried
about your survival or safety, you're
not going to be focusing on finding the
man or woman of your dreams --
unless of course this dream person is
your ticket out of your terrible home
life, dreary financial picture or scary
"singledom."
Procreation has always been a reason
to marry, but up until about two
hundred years ago or so, people in the
West married more for political or
financial gain than for love.
The Victorian Era and the Industrial
Revolution (1800s) created two
important changes in how people
lived: Romance became all the rage
and technological advances made life
much easier. Prior to these
developments, divorce was incredibly
rare but when love entered the picture
as the reason to marry, marital
dissolutions became more
commonplace.
Critics point to Women's Rights, No-
Fault Divorce laws and the greater
emphasis on the pursuit of personal
happiness in the '70s, for opening the
door to more choice and, therefore,
more divorce. Rates spiked up to 50%
(up from 11% in the fifties) and have
not changed much in the last 50 years.
We've come a long way with
technology and modern living but
have we actually come too far in our
conjugal love-centric culture?
What experts like Andrew Cherlin
(Marriage-Go-Round) and Stephanie
Coontz (Marriage, A History) tell us is
that, in our attempt to make marriage
stronger by raising the bar to meet our
higher needs, we have seriously
weakened the institution now that
marriage is based on love and
romance -- both highly changeable
emotions. When love wanes, the
marriage gets shaky; when the
romance stops, the nuptials die.
People whose primary reason to
marry is other than love -- such as to
have children with someone they
believed would be a good co-parent, to
have financial security, or for
companionship -- generally have
longer and perhaps better marriages
because their choices were made with
a purpose. Additionally, their
expectations of marriage and their
mate are less unrealistic. Their spouse
wasn't expected to be "The One." They
merely needed to be Mr. or Mrs.
"Good Enough."
Some people call this settling, but we
are seeing the wisdom of marriages
like these more and more.
I'm not saying love shouldn't be on the
list of things that need to be in your
relationship, but it doesn't need to be
number one (and perhaps shouldn't
be).
Here are the three reasons I think
marrying primarily for love is not
wise:
1. Love is a changeable emotion. As
quickly as you fall in love, you can fall
out of love. Then what? Either the
relationship ends or it becomes toxic.
If love is your primary connection, the
glue is gone. This is true for
passionate, physical love as well as
"soul-mate" love.
2. Love does not make for a strong
enough foundation. Yes, love is
strong but, due to the fact that it can
evaporate, it is not something that can
stand alone as the basis for a long-
term relationship (especially when
kids are involved). Anything built on a
foundation of love is subject to
crumbling.
3. Love is far from "all you need."
You need mutual respect, shared goals
and compatibility way more than you
need love to have a sustainable,
lasting relationship. People "fall in
love with love" just as Kim Kardashian
showed us, because they think it will
carry them the distance. We all want
to be wanted and we love to love yet,
if you had a recipe for a strong,
healthy relationship, it might look like
this: 3 Cups respect; 2 Cups shared
goals; 2 Cups compatibility, 1
Tablespoon love, 1 teaspoon
attraction (optional!). (Of course a
relationship has many more
ingredients than this but you get the
idea).

currently writing a book entitled, The
New I Do, Reshaping Marriage for
Cynics, Commitaphobes and Connubial

have a marriage that was based more
on companionship, co-parenting,
safety or financial security than on
love, please contact me at

It’s a dog-eat-dog world out
there, they say, but others still
find a way to be the top dog in
their fields. Becoming a chief
executive officer in Nigeria
takes serious commitment,
sacrifice and intellectual ability
than the average man is willing
to part with, and this is why the
lives of CEO’s often appear to
be shrouded in mystery. They
are like demi-gods, towering
over the rest of humanity…
This is a peek into the lives of
the highest-paid CEOs in
Nigeria:

Sola David-Borha, CEO OF
STANBIC IBTC
This interesting woman is the
MD/CEO of Stanbic IBTC
Holdings Plc. She is the highest
paid director in our banking
sector. Her annual take-home
pay? N177m. if we want to
break this down, we’re saying
she earns N484,931 daily (and
that’s with weekends included)

Tunji Oyebanji, CEO of Mobil
Oil Nigeria Ltd
CEO of Mobil Oil Nigeria
(MON), one of the major
petroleum products marketing
companies in Nigeria, Tunji
Oyebanji has an annual pay of
N85m which, when broken
down, translates to, give or
take N230,000 daily.

Olusegun Agbaje CEO,
GTBank
Olusegun J.K. Agbaje founded
GTBank with Tayo Aderinokun
(who died in 2011) in 1990, and
since then this bank has grown
into what it is today. His yearly
income is N77m.

Jubril Adewale Tinubu, CEO,
Oando Plc
Financial reports put Wale
Tinubu as the second highest-
paid CEO in the oil sector. He
makes, annually, a total of
N69m.

Akin Akinfemiwa, CEO, Forte
Oil Plc
The CEO of this oil company,
which was formerly known as
African Petroleum Plc, is said to
be worth N64m annually.

Philips Oduoza, CEO, UBA
Philips Oduoza, apart from
being the CEO of UBA, is also its
group managing director and
executive director. He has an
annual income of N57m (2010
statistics)

Jubril Aku, CEO, Ecobank
Nigeria
When a Financial Transparency
report for Banks was released
in 2009, Jubril Aku was ranked
the second highest paid CEO in
the banking sector with an
annual income of N88m, but
since then, his salary has been
slashed to N38m per month – it
is speculated that this was done
because of financial stress the
bank was facing.

Godwin Emefiele, CEO, Zenith
Bank
Godwin succeeded Jim Ovia,
pioneer CEO of Zenith Bank in
2010, and his track record since
then seems to confirm that he
has done well for himself. He is
also among the highest paid
CEOs in the banking sector.
Stanbic IBTC, Mobil Oil Nigeria
