Do you think he is one of those useless representatives in your area? Come down to enugu and feel a true representative in action.

Why come to Enugu? His work should be felt in the senate. What bills have he sponsored?

Nigeria should not break up, but revert to regional government and weaken the center. That way, lazy politicians will be easily exposed, and there will be a sense of collective belonging.
The current system empowers clanish government over merit. With regional government, we will be forced to go on merit.

Wale Babalakin, OFR....Ole of Federal Republic. Owing over 30 Billion Naira.
Its a shame that people I (used to) respect are on that list. The man that tops that list should be in jail. He is a chronic thief.

These are the people Nigerians should fight tooth and nail to get to pay. We are here playing silly ethnopolitical games while thieves of all tribes triumph by taking BILLIONS of naira.
Mr Ifeanyi Ubah is owing over 100 Billion Naira. That is the IGR of Oyo state for 80 months, or 6.5 years.

Typical politician. Which issue is being resolved? Pay the money you borrowed and stop fooling your gullible followers.

Nukilia:
Can somebody kindly explain this?

Guess we are gradually going back to the MILITARY ERA

I sympathize with you. You do not understand what is going on around you, but you must talk, hence you pitch sides with the most simplistic side.

Here is what is going on:
1. Mr Ben Murray Bruce borrow money for bank. He use his companies as collateral. The loan is up to 10 Billion naira.
2. Mr common sense defaulted (i. e he did not pay back)
3. Government is taking over the collateral.
Nothing about military era. The people who will suffer the bad loan are the masses. Mr Bruce will not feel the pain one bit. Imagine UBA or Union bank closes because they cannot operate anymore. Imagine the number of poor Nigerians whose money will be gone. Will you prefer this happens or Mr Bruce pays his debt?
The government has done nothing wrong. If Mr. Bruce repays the loan tomorrow, it will be illegal for AMCON to still hold the building.

Especially if the account happens to have a balance of 1.6Billion Naira. Ekiti State IGR monthly is about 400 million naira on average. Imagine if only Fayose is keeping a state's IGR of 4 months. The bank even said the account is very active, with money coming in and going out in no time.

This is a clear case of money laundering, and Fayose was trying to be too smart by being the one to raise the alarm.
1.6 Billion naira. And he still had the guts to mock Ekiti state workers by saying he is going on strike with them.

This will be Nigeria's worst Olympics EVER! Disaster everywhere. The people in charge are so used to stealing money at the detriments of the athletes that it is now the norm. Now the funds are not coming as usual, and the athletes are still being made to bear the brunt.
1. Nigerian Boxers had to use their own money to go for olympics qualification tournament. Sadiq Umar took loan up to 2000 GBP. Shame on the NOC.
2. Currently, there is a crucial olympics qualification this weekend for a very promising Nigerian talent. She needs less than 1000 USD and the federation contributed exactly 0 USD.
The athletes are at near zero motivation. The signs are not good at all.

They must pay like 100,000 naira minimum wage in Bauchi. How many state workers do they have?

Abeg nawa nawa clearing Volvo V70, 2002?

The Christians pushing these students are only planting a seed. They will sow the seed soon. Using children as a political tool doesnt always end well.

QT1. Dead even at 14-14.

Nothing irreconcilable about Tiwa's marriage. It happens to every couple. Go back to your husband and stop social media wedding.

isaiah9:
I managed to stream Cameroon match on firstrow but there are a lot of ads, how do you get rid of them?

Adblocker app now.
Use chrome, and have adblocker on. Cameroon is having a 'right honourable beating'.
I hope Nigeria doesnt get beaten like this o. The girls need to win this match with guts.

This Oba is redefining kingship in Yorubaland. He even takes his 'ilari' guards with him to yankee. See palace guards wearing designer wrist watch.

isaiah9:
do you know which channels covering the tournament so i can stream it

I intend to watch it on firstrow or so. I doubt any Naija channels will show it.
China just beat Venezuela. One more match before Nigeria's match.

amagunnerfan:
This boy likes great Bob Marley? He appreciates Ronaldo De Lima El phenomenon ? And Robben is one of his favorite? Jesus, looks like a big name is on the way YET AGAIN and best part he is NIGERIAN.

If as a kid you like Ronaldo De Lima and Robben then you know football. I forsee this boy going very far if his coaches, agents and parents continue to guide him right and not be selfish. He even has a good idea of the Netherlands and their football? He has the ingredients to succeed already. Hopefully NFF and their greed bastards won't ruin him.

I am so impressed and shocked.

He speaks good, and speaks what we want to ear. Does he play as well? He is good for his age, but he has a very very long way to go. I watched some of his highlights, and he is as good as any boy in U15 camp. However, I think he's yet to show exceptional skills or strength to make him stand out. He should be played at our U15 level more to get the exposure.
I will advice him to stay quiet and let his legs talk for him. He seems to be in the news too much for his own good. Maybe a pushy parent or overzealous agent is behind all the seemingly scripted answers in the video.

This thread will be fire....watching and monitoring.
Mods, how can you block the face of the person who is tarnishing the lady's image, while showing the lady's face. She has every right to chose whatever religion she wants. What right does the guy have to drag her into the mud as such.

This is a prelude to what Biafra aims to achieve. A myopic republic which will not respect differences and will only massage the backward ego of the agitators. So if she is Biafran and decides to change religion, she becomes enemy of the state.

Belarus will be tough, but I will be watching that match if I leave office early. We are just 2 wins away from an olympics ticket.

Blessing Okagbare's African 100m record is gone to Maurielle Ahoure 10.78.

Meanwhile, found this sweet video from Champ Oguchi

and Nigeria has been bribing the tribesmen of Gumi for years!

rugged7:
I keep asking myself the same question...

Something is not adding up

Too many dane guns, while bht manage to kill 30 Nigerien soldiers?

BH as a force is not concentrated in one place. As with all terror cells, they act independently and only take singular orders from the head. The head is inside Sambisa. The cells in Yobe, Niger and the sleeping cells around the country yet to be taken out are as effective.
Kudos to the DSS for bursting the matured cell in Kogi state. The cell in Yobe that carried out the last raid left plenty trails I believe.

Nigeria's most inform wrestler. Shes fun to watch.

BATTLE FIELD IMAGES......

Where's the full video now!

CFCman:
Okagbare will win 2 medals, and the women's 4x100m relay team will win at least a bronze medal if Ese Brume takes part in the final.

hahahaha. She won Zero medals at her peak.
Ese Brume isnt so much of a 100m runner though. Her SB is below the top 4 in Nigeria.

These bandits will be dealt with. These are just the leftover cells still inside Yobe. Sai Nigerian Army. Down with those who want Nigeria to fail.

My early predictions for the olympics.
Nigeria will get zero medals, but some fantastic displays. We will be close to medals with some, but others will just be going to Rio for the allowance.
1. Wrestling- Adekuroye Odunayo is the best shot we have. Bronze at world championship no be moi moi. She is perhaps the best chance we have of a medal.
2. Athletics: Unfortunately, no Nigerian team is medal worthy. The current AFN has killed athletics in Nigeria. They are in the process of burying it. We have some exciting young athletes, who are genuine medal contenders, but the AFN is so messed up that those athletes are being discouraged on daily basis.
Ese Brume- good athlete, and good to have 2 long jumpers at the Olympics. If she tries, she can make the final
Divine Oduduru- PB of 10.29s can be lowered at Rio. Good experience for him. He should go past first round. Semi final will be asking too much.
Tobi Amusan- fantastic season so far. Olympics good exposure. She may make semi finals.
Patience George- Semi final at best.
Relay team- best chance is the women 4x400m. We have at least 4 athletes running 52s steadily. We can make the olympics final.

lalasticlala come and balance the story on fp.

As can be seen here, the terrorists do not seek practising Muslims. They only want thugs who are fighters. They also target stu.pid people like Godwin Okoh.

There is an active terror recruitment going on all over Nigeria. It started silently in UK too, until it became full blown and young men were leaving the comfort of the UK to go fight for Daesh in Syria.
Mr Okoh Godwin is in contact with the recruiters in Nigeria, and he must have been contacted due to his criminal background. I gave him numbers of DSS to call and get into protective custody. It seems he has collected money from the recruiters.

mufutau55:
And that was even recent... I was not in Nigeria for that... but I can go back to Awo vs Akintola time... UPGA and DEMO!
Old folks here will surely remember that... the fight is not with gun but with JUJU o. But that was then.
We are all in Churches and Mosques now... and have abandoned our Cultures... Not all JUJU are bad anyway..
Thanks for that very good narrative Lastpage... you are good at writing than I will ever be.. that delayed my Ph.D for many years.

Talking juju when you are fasting....Takulah!
Talking about fasting, do people notice drop in productivity with workmen who are fasting? Or is it the opposite?
