wykcool: That's it, as PDP is almost a dead political party. It is either he decamps to APC (if he'll be given a chance to development his political career) or to a soon to be born strong opposition party.
OAUTemitayo: While I do accept that he had to take responsibility for whatever happens, don't you think you need to brush up your economic knowledge? How can you say government shouldn't spend more their income? Tell me where that is done in the world. You probably don't know that Osun generates next to nothing IGR! If you are a business man and want to expand your business, will you wait till you save profit for 5 years before you expand it just because a single year profit is not enough? Aregbesola must take responsibility I accept but how many of you people can compare what he did in terms of developmentalprojects to Bayelsa with huge allocation, less staff and yet less projects to show and even owning 8 months salary? People let us be sincere with ourselves.
you must be ma.d...must we support mediocrity in this country?? so a governor only job his to build roads and suffer d people.
do u know how many lives has been lost already??
I no blame una..he who wears d shoe knows where It pinches.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed looks to have lost his edge against a worthy opponent after he appeared on the latest episode of the Osasu Show where he assessed the President Muhammadu Buhari’s Administration at Two.
The Minister who seemed unprepared for the heavy lifting which came at him during the interview had earlier been questioned on his take regarding Nigerians who have accused him of telling ‘little white lies’ to which he replied that this was mainly because he was the face of the opposition party for nearly a decade.
He added that the second reason why Nigerians have accused him of telling lies to favour the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration is becasue quite a big section of the internet is yet to forgive him for the role he played in ousting PDP from office.
He said: “I think quite a big section of the internet is yet to forgive me for the role I played in the coming of this government. Many of them hold me personally responsible for the defeat of the PDP.”
Lai Mohammed added that “It was Nigerians who wanted a new government,” and he helped.
The Information Minister further dared anyone to come out with facts proving he had indeed lied to Nigerians at any point to favour the Buhari-led administration.
Lai Mohammed in reply noted that there is very little in governance when the economy, corruption, infrastructure and security have been covered. He added that Nigerians need to understand the focus of the Buhari-led administration to understand how much the Buhari-led administration had achieved.
He further noted while speaking on the impact of corruption that about N700 billion was appropriated in the Ministry of Niger Delta between 2990 and 2015 according to a memorandum by the Honorable Minister of the Niger Delta.
Responding to a question on the redundancy of the power sector and the failure of the Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola in delivering the promised 10,000MW of electricity, Lai Mohammed noted that he does not agree with the verdict of Nigerians about the power industry adding that the Buhari-led administration entered power when Nigerians enjoyed only 2690MW adding that Buhari brought it to 5014MW which was affected by the destruction of pipelines in the Niger Delta region adding that Nigerians enjoy almost 4,000MW now.
The Minister of Information further failed to defend the N10billion which was allocated to IDPs adding that it is the most transparent administration Nigeria has had

DONSMITH123: President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, has said that the Senate will pass the Whistle Blower Protection Bill in July, 2017.
He made this known at the launch of “Antidotes for Corruption: The Nigerian Story”, a book written by Sen. Dino Melaye, on Monday in Abuja.
Saraki said that when backed by legislation, whistle-blowing would have greater value “and it is hoped that we can pass it before July this year”.
According to him, other anti-corruption legislation being considered by the Senate, include the Proceeds of Crime Bill, the Special Anti-Corruption Court, which will be done through constitutional amendment and the Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Bill.
Saraki said that the executive and legislature must work hard to make it difficult for proceeds of corruption to find any hope.
Newshelm: President Muhammadu Buhari's adviser on social media Lauretta Onochie has condemned former Aviation Minister Femi Fani Kayode for criticizing Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Fani-Kayode had condemned Osinbajo for saying Buhari treats him like a son.
Reacting, Lauretta asked why Fani-Kayode must comment on everything. She released a post to this effect:
sarrki: God bless muhammadu Buhari
What a sick president did while he's sick
Gej that his hale and able can't do it
God bless muhammadu Buhari
God bless Yemi osinbajo
God bless federal republic of Nigeria

But I blame FG , buhari is a coward , he is not bold enough to punish or call any state governor to order. You gave them money , they didn't use it judiciously, yet you keep releasing more money.

oyinkinola: The huge amount of money found in Lagos belong to pdp! the money is stashed in the premises because of the crises in the party now, the inside information revealed that only the big pantaker in the secret decision of the party knew about the money, even the current chairman of the party now Ali Modu Sherif know nothing about the money but Gej and the former chairman knew about it! But why pdp didn't claimed the money is becuse, it's was put their clandestine for the future use ofthe party before the crises break out in the party! Also the NIA that claimed the the ownership of the money do so to safe the money for the governent and Nigeria nation, the money didn't belong to them, but they were only FG institution that its finance status suitable to claim such a money for the government! The information reveaed if any one claimed the money and the govenment lost the case expecially now that governent is worry about CFJ(corruption fighting back judges in courts) the opportunity will lost forever! Weldone wistle blower! Weldone EFCC! Weldone FG of Nigeria! Oyinkinola!
veragistonline: First of all, there is nothing like court marriage. That's a popular misconception. What we have is 'Registry Marriage' or 'Marriage under the Act'.
The court is not conferred with the power to conduct or celebrate marriages. They don't have the right to 'wed' or 'join together' anyone. The court only has the power to do the following; dissolution of marriage (e.g divorce, legal separation), issues of settlement or other legal remedies in and out of marriage. The proper place for the celebration of marriage is a Registry or a Licensed place of Worship.
Paragraph 1.
1.1. In Nigeria, we have two kinds of recognised marriages; (1) customary marriage (this includes the Islamic Marriage) and (2) Statutory Marriage (not white wedding). I will explain this as we go on.
1.2. A traditional marriage is not necessarily a customary marriage. A customary marriage is a complete marriage procedure by itself especially if you have no intention of getting married statutorily. The customs, practices and traditions of (both parties) governs such solely and nothing more. A traditional marriage especially in Nigeria simply pays allegiance to traditions and practices without being bound by such laws once a statutory marriage is done. It is an example of 'give unto ceaser what belongs to ceaser'.
1.3. A statutory marriage overrides a customary(traditional) marriage. This means, you can either wed customarily or statutorily and if you do both, the Statutory Marriage backed by 'The Marriage Act' completely cancels the other. It can be argued that in a deeply cultural/communal place like Nigeria, sometimes parties for the sake of peace, or just to fulfil family obligations and to pay obeisance to traditional rites, conduct a traditional (a variation of a customary marriage) before conducting a statutory marriage. 1.4. (it is pertinent to note here that the Registries/licensed place of worship don't need proof of a traditional marriage celebration before joining parties together under the Act) To be legally married, you don't need to fulfil any traditional obligation. The law does not recognise or make demands for such because it amounts to writing same examination two times for just one course when one is all you need.
Paragraph 2. 2.1. The Marriage Act governs statutory marriage in Nigeria. That's why it is simply referred to as Marriage under the Act. A statutory marriage has the flavour of the law and recognises just one man married to one woman. Meaning, if Polygamy is your aim and your religion or culture does not frown at more than one wife, then there is no need of conducting 'a registy marriage' or a marriage under the Act. This is the major difference between a statutory and a customary marriage. The law defines marriage as between just two people, one man and one woman. Nothing more.
Paragraph 3.
3.1. A statutory marriage can be celebrated in either of these two places; 1. A registry OR 2. A licensed place of worship. (e.g a church)
3.2. A 'church' wedding does not confer any legal status on a marriage if such church is not licensed or if the license has been revoked by law. We usually mistake a church wedding for a 'statutory marriage' and that's very far from the reality. A church marriage that does not comply with the processes as stipulated by the Act can best be described as a party. I always love to tell my friends to ensure that their worship centres are licensed and if it isn't, head to the nearest registry or LG headquarters to be joined by a Registrar.
3.3. Something else, let's take for instance I own a church, registered under Part C of CAMA and it is called Hallelujah Ministry, and I have about 449 branches, it should not be assumed that all 449 branches are licenced places of worship for the purpose of celebration of Marriages. Issues of licence are very specific. Licence is not blanket. It is possible that my branch at Ikorodu is licensed while my branch at Nnewi, isn’t. Governors of states by a gazette can confer or revoke licences on worship centres. A church being registered under CAMA does not necessarily make it licensed.
Paragraph 4.
4.1. The statutory marriage is conducted by a Registrar OR a Minister of a licensed place of worship. Emphasis on LICENSED. This means that if you were legally joined together by a Registrar, there is actually no need for a Minister(your pastor, reverend, bishop, apostle, spiritual leader etc) to do same again. Vice versa. Celebrating in these two places can at best be 'duplicity'. But I also understand the need especially in a religious society like ours to want a church to 'bless' your marriage even after a registry celebration. But note, one is enough and okay.
Note: two things must be in place especially, a licensed place and a licensed person to perform the celebration.
Further Note: something played out in court last year and this line of question redirected me back to the Act. The only recognised time to be joined together legally is from the hours of 8am to 6pm. Anything after has a cloud of uncertainty. Sometimes very little things like this go a very long in making or marring a case.
4.2. The importance of being legally joined together plays out in the following circumstances; (a) when parties want to go their separate ways e.g. divorce, separate or remarry. And this is where a couple of people I've spoken usually have an issue. I've heard a man being advised not to do a 'court marriage' because his wife will take all of his properties away. Actually, that's very far from the truth and reality. The court in Nigeria is not vested with such powers. Issues of compensation comes up when there are children to support, joint properties to split, promises, financial debts by one party, agreed compensation by both parties etc. No one strips you of your properties because you did a registry marriage. This is one misconception that fuels suspicion if a lady insists on a statutory marriage.
(b) death of one party and issues of estate administration. If a person dies, his properties will be administered based on two things, his/her or will or if he had no will the governing law upon which he was legally subjected in marriage. Marrying under the Act makes your estate administered by the law of your states and not the customs or traditions of your place. This is always very dependable because on order of priority, your family is well catered to and it minimises conflicts & problems amongst your loved ones. (another post entirely) (c) if a party wants to conduct another marriage, being legally joined together estopps such from happening. In fact, it even makes it criminal. If your marriage was not 'legally' recognised under the Acts, nothing stops him/her from marrying another person while you're still together. An act provides marital security especially from 'wandering-proned' spouses. (d) if one party is indicted in a criminal or civil matter. A legally recognised marriage protects the right of a wife or husband not to give evidence or testify against the other spouse. But such covering doesn't exist if such marriage was not properly celebrated as provided by the law. (e) other legal benefits that may accrue by law e.g. medical covering and insurance from your spouse's place of work, care packages accruing from services rendered by a spouse, disability benefits, social security, issues of insurance etc. A legally recognised spouse can reap spousal benefits that may be provided for by private or public institutions. This extends even to the children. This does not apply if parties are not 'legally' joined. (f) purposes of foreign travel, immigration etc. E.g. If you want to marry a Nigerian and relocate her to your country, only a statutory marriage will cover for that. The processes only recognise a Marriage conducted under the Act. This is just one out of the many examples in issues of immigration etc. (many more to come)
4.3 A marriage not properly celebrated is seen by the law as null and void. It means it may as well not exist.
4.4. Currently, all Local Government Areas have Registries and Registrars to conduct and celebrate marriages. So wherever you are in Nigeria, you are covered. The process is the same anywhere.
Paragraph 5.
5.1. Conducting/celebrating a statutory marriage has the same uniform procedure whether in a registry or a licensed place of worship. To avoid making this cumbersome, I'll put up a link to the Marriage Act but also talk to your lawyer to guide you through. Also, you can make findings in your local registry or place of worship about these processes and be mindful that it complies with the provision of the Act.
Note: It is the simplest, cheapest, easy to fund/celebrate form of marriage in Nigeria, especially in these time of economic unsettling.
5.2. Any question or observation can be raised or discussed here or with lawyers around you. I will also share in the comments, legal authorities backing the above summation.

mekleelex200: Mine was in my SS3 days that was in 2009,me and my guy left the school hostel to attend inter-house sports of a nearby school (all female school). I had one big phone like that Nokia 6600 precisely, I used it to form "big boy" at that time (you know phone was a black Diamond then).
In the school, as the inter-house was going on I saw 4 beautiful girls under a tree chatting, so I wanted to get their I attention. I told my friend to follow my lead, I faked a call just to impress and also to show that I have phone on reaching where they were I was walking like a king with a slow motion move (you know that move in mortal combat when you hear FINISH HIM) as I "dey" reach close to them with my sheepish smiles and lousy voice just to draw attention. As I got their attention, I was coming to their presence with my fake call "na so my phone began to ring out for real" that annoying tililinli ringing tone, my brothers my sisters you would have seen an echo of laughter they rained on me that day "for the ground to open was an under statement", who I pitied the most was my guy whom I dragged into my foolish lies.
The person that called me was my friend in school hostel that wanted to tell us to come back to hostel that they were taking role call by the hotel master (because he found out that many people sneaked out for that inter-house without permission), you don't want to know what I did to that guy that called me.
