kenonze:
I don't have a single pity for the guy. At his dying hour when he should come out openly to tell his teaming fans of his health conditions, he took to twitter and refute it. That was an opportunity to ask ur fans for prayers knowing God can do the impossible.
In developed countries people make their health conditions known.
I remember one prominent briton diagnose of testicular cancer.
We all will still die one day. When the hour comes.
No one is immortal.

sped1oro: I have been wondering for quite some time why the dreaded Boko Haram sect has not tried creating an awareness in the south-western part of the country.Because the usual style of groups like this is to create fear and causes division amongst the people,invariably it means they are only fighting a regional war and one can infer from their modus operandi that they are not really fighting for Islam as they proclaimed.Maybe their relatives and families down south would have warned them not to try any stupi act which may cause them to leave lagos especially en-masse.

ballabriggs: That is why you are a mugu. We spend 40billion naira, what of the benefits? Do you analyse costs alone without benefits? That is why we are economists and we look at cost-benefit considerations before reaching a conclusion. Most of the benefits we see are even intangible and we don't expect mugu's like you to see it. Some of you people are really daft beyond repair. GOSH!!! Is this what Nigeria has become, that young people cannot analyse issues critically? If you take ten 1000 naira notes and put it into two 5000naira notes, is that not savings? In terms of handling, minting, storage e.t.c. To the aggregate economy, more efficient transactions. We know your Alaba brain cannot see beyond the money you store under your bed.

At times when people like you talk about inflation, I want to laugh. So if I convert 500naira into coins today, the price of pure water will become 1000naira and 500naira will disappear? Ikeja to Ojodu Berger will become 1000naira? Osodi to Mushin will become 1000naira? Stop this your ignorant analysis.

Nigerians do not feel comfortable with coins, what you have not admitted is that it is a waste on the economy that people don't spend coins.

Change is what we want, enough of the waste on the economy. The main issues that affect the value of the naira you dolts don't even challenge. You focus all your energy on a reform that has no effect on prices and interest rates.

faithin9ja: I pity the iliteracy and ignorance of Nigerians

in the UK we use one pound coins every day - £1 = N260 !!!
in UK we £20 notes everyday £20 = N5200

in UK is closer to cashless than Nigeria as we use ATM and POS for 90% of all purchases.

What is wrong with paying a taxi driver with 3 N100 coins??

What is wrong with buiyng a blackberry phone with 6 , N5000 notes?

Those stealing Nigeria's money will steal wether it's N20 notes or N1million notes

Nigerians used coins for over 20 years before the mid 80's

Benzora: For the undiscerning this may mean nothing but to those still with some sense of rationality, this is absolutely mind blowing. These are Bini Chiefs who have jettisoned tribal sentiments by not giving their support and vote to their kinsman but to an outsider all on the alter of good governance. I dove my heart for the Bini Kingdom! If only some tribes in this Country can be these magnanimous, there would be no BH! Lesson!

agabaI23: How can juxtapose this recent claim with his earlier statement that PDP is Boko Haram and Boko Haram is PDP? is Buhari now a member of PDP?

What is the relationship?

Vikin: Let me teach you how to ask a guy out indirectly.

First you should have a high self esteem, confidence and irresistable

Approach him and engage him in an interesting conversation...it can be anything..football, his shoes, his hair, color, race etc. Even if you dont know much about the topic, make him do the explanation part and you do the asking while maintaining a good posture and good level of self confident.

If he is interested in you, he will ask for your number and voila..you go from there.

You can also ask for it, there is no harm in that.

If he is not, just let him be and target another person that will respond to you.

Nice post.


This is a two way thing, be you woman or man, it works...trust me


So my dear, depend on the style used, it not wrong to ask a guy out!

maybel: Dont u read papers? Where were u when he (Otedola) said d security gave him marked dollars to catch Farcrook. The money offered as bribe was not Otedola's. If eventually d money cud not be recovered it's d SSS problem,Otedola has nothing to lose. I'm not Otedola's advocate but if i were in his shoes i wud rather participate in dis kind of sting operatn knowing full well dat i hav nothing to lose than allowing one crook to intimidate and extort money from me.

Pennywise: What an irresponsible and shameless House of Assembly (yes of thieves). This present crop of lawmakers have further reduced in reckoning the profile of all things Nigerian to the outside world. I am surprised they still give press conferences when they ought to be in hiding as a group.

But the question is what is the executive and the president as the chief law enforcer of the land doing about this. For how long will he continue to use separation of powers as an alibi for crass ineptitude while authority, decency and statehood continue to slip away.

But I digress.

The real tragedy is that Nigerian youth of today as exemplified by posters on NL are ignorant of the danger that these lawmakers portend for democracy and the security of this country. The poor quality of today's education appear to have impacted on their ability to reason and make intelligent deduction. It offends every good sense that some pple here will try to excuse patently criminal act by their elected legislators rather than calling them to order. It seriously calls to question, the future of Nigeria.

It is time for civil society groups to justify the dollars they collect regularly in the name of democracy to team up with Otedola as interested party in the suit against these criminal elements.

Meanwhile ASUU,NLC, TUC and NANS can keep embarrassing themselves by remaining mute.

eGuerrilla: With all due respect, @Olu_Bendel, nobody is saying Farouk should not be held to account for his 'sins'.
Rather, the demand some of us have unwaveringly advanced is that, the subsidy report should not be canned. Devoid of emotions, this much is owed to long suffering Nigerians, surely!

Personally, I would like to see the report implemented, while a parallel investigation is set in motion to explore concerns that other companies were omitted from the final report.

Is this not a fair recommendation?

omodapson: I have gone through most of the comments made and I can say most of them are laden with sentiment. I can only shake my head at how some of us reason. There is a thief to catch, he was caught red handed and we are saying the thief was not caught in the proper way? How else would you catch a thief that insisted on stealing from you when he knew you had nothing he was looking for?

Well, the last has not been heard, so I will reserve my comments for now. But if Otedola's claim is true, then Lawan has no hiding place. So far, I have not heard anything logical from the lawmaker which is worrisome to me.
