Very dangerous. They can become sea sick, disoriented and invariably fall into the sea. What gives them the impression that the ship is Europe bound?

Politics / Re: Insecurity In FCT: There's A Disconnect Between Wike & Elected Officials-kingibe by Odidigboigbo(m): 1:06am On Jan 22
DeOTR:

You certainly don't know what you're saying. The closest elected officials to the people are the council chairmen in the FCT and they don't seem to know what they're doing.
These kidnappers have been operating in the FCT for as far back as 2021 (that's the ones I know of).
They kidnapped a vehicle together with the passengers along Gwaz-Kwali road. Kidnapping people in their homes in Yangoji was a weekly routine. They even kidnapped a traditional ruler in Rubochi.
All these times, nobody cared. I don't know why all of a sudden they're now pretending as if it started last week.
You that knows what you are saying, how does your submission her counter what I said?

In any case what role does she have to play in stemming insecurity in Abuja? Wike and the President met with security agencies, wike was instructed by the president to go on a confidence building tour in the Area council, what exactly does he need this woman for?
The truth you failed to see is that the Senator is more influential than the Minister in the zone, even more influential than the president in Abuja. They see those two as an outsider. The minister toure will yield little or no result without their elected officers. Let me ask you a simple question and be honest to answer it. Let's assumed PDP is in government in federal level and there is a crisis in Lagos and the PDP government send delegates to visits Lagos, do you think the delegates will make any inroads without APC representatives from Lagos?

work with her in what capacity? Did the fomer senator representing fct work with the former minister? What exactly does she want? Wike has been on a tour to the 6 local council, he has been to 2, he'll visit 2 this week, he's interacting directly with the locals with the help of his friend Philip Aduda, this woman insulted wike last year for no reason, Wike owes her nothing and he's not obligated to her
Alright, any decision taken by the politicians, should not indirectly affect the masses.

Madam concentrate on your work, in other states, do Senators harass their governors for not carrying them along? Why are you scared? Aduda is wikes friend.
Leave politics and sentiments aside, she was elected to represent the zone, the minister has no options but to work with her irrespective of political inclination. Wike working with her doesn't erase his friendship with Philip Adudau.

Hilltop UNN was known for cultism during my days, I was friends with most of them but I never joined. It saved me alot from intimidation because everyone on campus thought I was a cultist and they feared me because I was always in the midst of cultist..my lodge then had all the males there as cultist except me. Nobody knew I wasn't a cultist because everyone sees me as a bad boy, I was feared in faculty. I remember slapping a lecturer and he still came back to beg me secretly. I enjoyed the aura but I always watched my back oh.
Yea you are right, I think my Cousin was a kind of shield to me to some extent. Almost everybody in my faculty thought I belong because once in a while he do come with his group to visit me; even when he left, his gang always sees me as their little brother and sometime they will buy lunch for me . It was only once, one of his godson(Ibori) tried to talked me over into it, I told my Cousin and he warned him never to tried that again.

I leaved with them in the back of ZIK flat, UNN. I was innocently living with my cousin who was their Chief Priest then, I was just a jambite. During 2002 court crisis in UNN, I practically faced death when rival group came to look for him, two people were killed in the compound. I thank God for sparing my life that night.

Politics / Re: ‘your Letter Lacks Respect’ — Obi Of Onitsha Tackles Soludo’s Commissioner by Odidigboigbo(m): 12:55pm On Jan 19
Judolisco:
yes what if d oba does not have a child and he dies, would dat mean d throne would be empty... Hereditary monarchy is when d crown remains within a certain family... If d oba of benin dies today and he has no heir to d throne, there are other princes that belong to d ruling house and share d same blood that can seat on d throne.... Abeg read more about hereditary monarchy before responding
If Oba dies today and has no heirs to the throne, his younger brother is next in line to take over. Is not contestable like what is applicable in SW and North. The next in line is already known. A priest can't just wake up and say he want to contest for Obaship as it's done in Ife, Kano, Sokoto, etc. So know the difference. Just like it's done in England.

You don't understand when they say hereditary. Hereditary id not ruling house(Being entitled to the throne, once you are a prince) but rather from father to the first son of the king. If the Oba of Benin is removed/died today, his first son will automatically take over. It's not contestable nor do they have any kingmaker that will choose the next king for the kingdom out of numerous princes of the kingdom

kole22k:
It's very simple let Tunji go and clear his name, invitation by ccb doesn't mean his already guilty

what we have seen about Tunji Ojo is quite amazing since he took over the ministry of interior, there are so many landmark policies he has been rolling out which are pointing to a wonderful direction

He's company involvement over the on going scandal in the ministry of humanitarian is a big obstacle to what is has set to achieve in his own ministry

Nevertheless I pray to God to vindicate him. He's one of the best minister at moment.
God doesn't vindicate someone that did wrong , leave God out of this.

He should be allowed to concentrate and focus, please!
If the said contracts passed through the normal bidding code and were not influenced by his office, nor, intimidate the Ministry of Humanitarian to award them, then, he is free. His involvement in cabinet doesnt mean a company he was once a director should cease operation.

By the way, you can never get a total saint to bring the needed change in this country. All the people we are clamoring for has one or two cockroaches in their keyboards. Not to even mention Saint Sinless Peter Obi. Peace!
But you clamoured for the removal of Betta Edu, when the said money was not paid directly to her personal account. Hypocrite in high level.

We could like Obaseki to free shuaibu and allow the party primary to go smoothly and freely without influence. When a winner emerges then he can throw his full support to that candidate.
He never stopped him from contesting, mind you Shaibu is not the only one contesting in the party platform. You can't say he didn't allow the primary to go freely when the primary is yet to be conducted.

khattab02:
bros no come confused us oo

This is from latest Oxford dictionary

"godfatherism (uncountable)

(Nigeria) A form of political corruption in which an influential individual handpicks another, often less influential candidate, to attain leadership in order to exert authority or influence. This may be due to the unpopularity of one candidate, or to work around incumbency term limits."
This clause "to attain leadership in order to exert authority or influence" that is what makes it godfatherism when someone support you to attain a position. For now, you can't call it godfatherism until these traits begin to manifest.

This is totally FALSE. You people should stop pushing this false narrative because it's sickening. Being loud or quiet is all about choices. There's no one-fits-it-all rule for how people choose to live their life.

Davido is rich and very loud. He even posts his expensive lifestyle on social media, making you wonder why he hasn't been used to wealth since he was born into it.
Davido is an entertainer, showcasing his wealth is social media is part of his entertainment business. You can't say that of his father and elder brother that are far richer than him

This life no balance my people,all the Edo no be Lagos crowd have suddenly gone quiet
The same Godfatherism that the Governor fought tooth and nail to dismantle is exactly what he is trying to rebuild
We all know the Governor's preferred candidate and all this people that bought forms are all pawns who will step down on the Day of the primary for the Governor's preferred candidate
The biggest loser in all this is the Deputy Governor,he will eat the humble pie by force
He is just being tolerated in PDP and I am confident that he will soon decamp to another party to fulfil his ambition

I have been pondering over a thought and want to ask people on the forum
Funke Akindele's movie" A tribe called Judah" is being celebrated for being the first Nollywood movie to cross the 1 billion naira mark,Femi Otedola gave away 1 billion naira to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF)
My question is this: Who is a Billionaire,is it the one that makes a Billion or the one that gives away a Billion
Kindly check my signature for good titled properties
Do you actually know the meaning of godfather? Supporting someone to get a job is not godfather. It only becomes godfather after you have helped him in getting the job and you start to control him, you will be the one to decide how he should do the job and try to control him in proxy and to some extent demands some percentage of some revenue he got as a settlement. For now, you can't call it godfather .

Career / Re: 400k Salary, but nothing. by Odidigboigbo(m): 2:32am On Jan 11
Intrepid01:
I tell people savings is very easy. If I were in your shoes, this is what I’ll do.

Step A: I’ll assume I earn 300k, the truth is if you earn less than that or you lose your job (God forbids it), heaven will not fall, so why not make the decision now for the greater good?

Step B: Open an investment account with one of the investment companies (ARM Managers, Piggyvest, Meristem etc), and set up an automated transfer of the 100k into the investment account monthly.

Step C: Now, open an excel worksheet, categorize your monthly expenses into MUST BUY, SHOULD BUY and COULD BUY.

Step D: Determine the total amount for the MUST BUY, and then spread the remaining amount, if any, on the SHOULD BUY and COULD BUY.

Step E: Delete items on the COULD BUY AND SHOULD BUY in that order, those are things that if anyone losses his/her job won’t be able to afford or things that if you don’t buy no one will die. Get rid of them, they are largely nothing but indulgences.

I hope you’ll find this useful.

I save about 55% of my monthly pay, although not with a family as big as yours for now. But the truth is, my mindset is that the money you save at month end is actually the amount you paid yourself for the work done. The amount consumed is the money you spent for living.

Everyone working must learn to pay him or herself.

Today, I just decided to place an order for 2 items, as a way to gift myself in the new year. I haven’t done that in a year and I don’t really do that as a habit. This is because savings and investment are priorities.


Spot on, this what I do, when I was salary earner.The moment I received my salary, I transferred 50% to my savings account, 5% to my emergency account and leaved with the remaining 45%. For the savings account, as far I'm concerned, that money doesn't exist and does not belong to me. For the 5%, sometimes I encroached on it, ones in a while for doing some charity or spending on things that Seldom occurs such as repairs of damage appliance. Then, my girlfriend used to tell me that she doesn't know when I have money or not because I'm not the type that will eat a special meal because I just received an alert.

Nothing like betrayal here. There is no way Shaibu from Edo North will become a governor after 8 years of Adams Oshiomole as a governor and another 8years of Shaibu as a deputy governor consecutively, all from the same zone, when Edo Central (Esan) has not test the governorship, that is greediness. What's the marginalisation we are shouting in Federal level?
