At least she has company now. Good and lasting friendships can develop from there. Thanks for your succint advice.

Kobojunkie:
Na so loneliness dey take fly away?

Please do not invite her to church at all... take her out to the local library, the local bar or club make she mingle with people wey she go meet around any day. That Nigerians-only grouping is a disease.

She's a 20 year old girl studying in a university in the same city as I am. I can confirm that Nigerians have reached out to her within hours of posting this video and she's no more lonely. She even has an abundance of friends now. Thanks

NIMASA, DPR, NAPIMS and many other government agencies should be ashamed of themselves. How can NIMASA say a rig which came into Nigeria brand new in 2012 - the finest Swamp Rig in Nigeria for a long time, has been operating illegally for 7 years!!! This is ineptitude at its peak.
Rigs always get audited yearly and are supposed to provide requisite approvals as part of requirements. The Rig in question suffered a fire incident in 2017 and was repaired before being returned to operation and no one noticed in the course of recertification, prior to being placed back in operation, that it had no NIMASA approval. This Rig has been moved severally since 2016!!! Nigeria is simply a joke!!! Anyways, we await the investigation report.

I know the Managing Director of Depthwize, Uche Dimiri and a good number of management of the company, having worked as Drilling Supervisor on the rig when it came in brand new 2012. They don't joke with HSE...never! It is unfortunate that this has happened but let's wait for the investigation report as a lot of things could have gone wrong. Accidents happen in different industries even in the most advanced countries of the world so, let's not make this a Nigerian thing. May the soul of the departed find eternal rest whilst we pray that the missing crew members are found alive.

Northern elites always marrying within themselves, thus keeping the poor perpetually poor and easliy manipulatable for political reasons.

While I agree it's a systemic failure but it is a collective one. Shell and other MNOCs are culpable, the government is, so are the people who inhabit these oil producing communities - the elders and leaders who are only interested in personal gains to the detriment of community development.

dettolgel:
At the bolded is also an indication of the failure of the system. This is also related to the issue of corruption and the failure of our government over the years to invest in the development of the country.

How on earth do you think Saudi or UAE youth will attack oil installation? To what end, when there are safer and better ways to earn and take care of their families.

Corruption, insecurity, unemployment are interrelated.

I think people should be made to understand the business decisions Shell is making. Shell has been divesting their onshore and shallow offshore assets for more than 10 years mostly due to the need to move away from the volatile communities surrounding these assets. It's not only Shell, all multinationals have been doing this. A case in point is one OPL 2007 hitherto operated by Total but was given up by them and Conoil Producing got this asset as a PSC block and converted to OML 150 after fulfilling contractual obligations.
Multinationals just prefer to focus their efforts on deep offshore activities with little or no interference by oil producing communities and prospects for profit maximization.
Even ExxonMobil has divested their 4 shallow offshore assets in Eket area where Seplat seems to have picked up the juiciest of them all.
It's a business decision not that they are leaving the country due to corruption or economic downturn. They institutionalized the corruption we are talking about today in any case.

Obasanjo's cabinet still the best since the return of democracy in 1999

Great player but inconsistent

•Ronke Ayuba - She was married to General Tanko Ayuba; very powerful guy in IBB's administration.
•Modele Sarafa-Yusuf - Last I saw her she was working in Sports Marketing Communication at Globacom around 2010....
•Ruth Benamasia-Opia - I saw her last working in NNPC-NAPIMS around 2015
•Chris Anyanwu - I remember Abacha jailed her and was later freed. Think she went into politics.
•Comfort Okoronkwo - Where is Aunty Comfort? She was our Presenter at Junior Challenge and also stood in for Aunty Marie Fatai-Williams at Speak Out a few times.

Nostalgia all the way!!!

Let me start by saying you can successfully relocate abroad at 40. I left an oil company job Nigeria at 40, relocated and within 5 years, I now have footprints not only in Nigeria but in 2 North American countries. The western world is such that you can be what you want to be cos the system is an ideal one. However, the truth is Nigeria is a promising country and lots of people in Nigeria are doing better than some people in diaspora. So, ask yourself, do you have conviction about relocating cos if you are not convinced, stay back and make it work. it's not a bed of roses in Europe or America but if you are hardworking, resilient and surround yourself with the right people in diaspora, you MUST make it!

He s right. Soyinka can never be a great Novelist without a Nobel Price

Yes, because he couldn't spend Oil Money like Amechi - ex Rivers Governor. Ask PDP, they will tell you how Rivers Governor Wike funded the party for years before Atiku and co returned.

Gaabasky:
That's why he came distance third

That has been the story of Nigeria. We overlook the most qualified and we expect the country to be better. It would have been so easy to market PYO. He wouldn't be avoiding debates like BAT is doing. It's just unfortunate.

Even the Famous Lie Mohamed has slowed down on feeding Nigerians with lies. So I am surprised that PMB could be so shamelss as to spewing out the greatest lie of the century in such a brazen manner. Such disrespect for the intelligence of Nigerians!

The man owns the breast, the baby owns the milk...Fullstop!

Just imagine if Northern Nigeria was separate from Southern Nigeria, Buhari would have no one to congratulate!!!

It's a shame when the Devil himself tells us his good friend is a Saint.

While I condem stealing in any form by anyone, it is heartbreaking that a girl can be jailed for 500k stolen to save her father's life and politicians who have stolen hundreds of millions are celebrated and urged on to rule again! Misplaced Priority!

robinso01:
Does politicians still campaigns after winning election?

Not sure which is more 'wicked'; your response or your grammar!

The Nigerian value system is completely annihilated across board. Pathetic!

ednut1:
Although the op na my friend i will tackle her.

1. There are people building wealth in cheaper provinces like Alberta or New Brunswick where houses go for 300k to 400k. In Ontario its like 900k to 1.5m for the average house and you suppose drop 5% deposit for mortgage. Married people or common law guys are able to build wealth too due to combined income. Solution is move to a cheaper province, get married or find a partner.
2 . Cost of living- where in the world is not costly. With all the amenities, free resources, and standard of living why should it be cheap There are many people earning 3700 dols a month but staying in apartments costing 2200 dols. Is that not madness. Some are one 2500 a month but their rent is 1800 lol
3 . Boredom and loneliness- Nigerians move to a cold country and refuse to do what whites do in the winter. Whose fault is that Many ladies from Nigeria have unrealistic expectations and are single to stupor. Whose fault is that Lol
4 cold. Get a good winter jacket or knacks partner. Nothing dey there
5. Professional jobs- doctors know this before coming and should have explored uk. A friend passed the medical exams in 18months its doable. Yes there are issues with Canada experience but with constant applications and upgrading ones skills. You will be able to get in. You and i both know many people with only Nigerians experience or degrees balling in big companies

Oya come back home o.

I know people especially tech who moved to usa after getting their Canada citizenship. More money is involved and passport privileges too don set. The Canadian passport opens doors to better countries

Pls add that when you eventually become a Doctor, your pay will be so crazy that it will wipe away your tears for a lifetime. I know this for sure!!!

When it comes to corruption, this man should just keep quiet!

I do not have much to say. Buhari is from the North, Party Chairman is from the North. I beleive strongly that Buhari will present a consensus candidate from the South and a Christian too. The only person who fits his description is his loyal Vice President. He is a technocrat with a high level of integrity. Who knows; this might just be the Nigeria of our dreams in the works. The truth is a lot of APC bigwigs do not like Tinubu's arrogance and overbearing influence, he displayed that in Ogun state yesterday!

nedubrazil111:
Any woman deceiving you and calling you honey is because of your large pockets

No money, No honey

They also owe us a compensation for the amalgamation

Headline Should read "Amechi recommended Bello-Koko as instructed by Buhari.

MkO Abiola

Oga Bello is 68 and Tinubu is 69. O ga o

While I don't beleive Buhari would be so stupid to openly admit that but the truth is the North has always had that agenda and Oil has been the reason for the North refusing to part ways with the South. They have continued to pump money into oil exploration in the Northern basins and if found in commercial quantities, it would be easy for them to say goodbye to the South but they are in for suprise!

Who attacks a man by his leg? Usually you attack the upper region - face, abdomen. That video looks to me like someone holding on to Bishop Oyedepo's legs in reverence...like asking him to bless or anoint him. I stand to be corrected though.
