Godfullsam:
The first people to avoid are people who don't believe in God. The bible call them foooooools

People who don't want the peace and unity of this country should be avoided like plaque.

Let avoid negative people too

on point

HAPPY NEW YEAR NAIRALANDERS

There is a difference between friends and acquaintance.
Most times we mistake both.
Some people just want to be part of your inner cycle because
things are rosy.

Well, here is my list of 7 kinds of people you should avoid if you
want to have a good year.

1. People who don't respect you

A person who does not see your worth is no friend.
In this New Year, Stop hanging out with people who always make
you feel bad about yourself, or make you loose your self esteem.
Have respect for yourself by doing away with them.

2. Greedy People

These set of people can turn you to a charity organisation without
you knowing.
For example, Imagine paying the T-fare everytime you guys board
a cab together. Or always footing the bills anytime you guys go out
to have a good time together.
These toxic individuals would use you and leave
you worse off, sucking you dry and feeding off you like a parasite.
Flee from them.

3. Discouragers

Run away from this set of persons.
Everything is always impossible and difficult to them.
They could ridicule you to the point that you start finding your
goals funny and unattainable.
This persons are contented with being just comfortable.
Don't let them contaminate your ideas and thoughts.
Avoid them.

4. Hypocrites

Do you remember that friend who always gossip about other
people?
They always have the latest and enough unpleasant things to say
about others and they are always right.
Ever wondered what they also say about you to others?
Pull away from them.

5. People who draw you back

These set of persons sometimes can be your best friends or very
close pals.
They are the reasons why you go back to bad your habits.
You could be trying to stop cheating or smoking, or other harmful
addiction, and they always have a way of getting you back to that
kind of life.
Avoid them.

6. People you can't trust

A friend should have your back even in your absence.
And should be ready to stick out his/her neck for you.
What is the need of having a friend who can't do this for you?
You should also know what your friends are capable of.
Stay away from people you can trust.

7. Friends that want free jobs from you

I call them the "Ojo free" friends.
'My guy my guy' would never get us far.
It is better to have people who value your job than friends who
wants everything free.
This same people would never treat their business the same way.
Avoid them

What other people do you think we should avoid?

The year 2015 will not be forgotten in a hurry
This Year gave Nigerians a voice and they used it indeed!
This year also witnessed some spoken words from Notable
Nigerians which cannot/should not be forgotten in a hurry.
These quotes cracked me up,I dont know about you!

10. “Mr Orubebe, you are a former Minister of the Federal Republic. You are a statesman in your own right. You should be careful about what you say or what allegations or accusations you make.
Certainly you should be careful about your public conduct” – Attahiru Jega.....
The former INEC chairman said this to Godsday Orubebe, after the PDP party agent created an embarrassing scene at the collation centre in Abuja, trying to disrupt announcement of results.

9. “Go and die” – Adams Oshiomhole. The incident happened as the woman knelt before Oshiomhole begging for her little means of livelihood to be saved. After which he shouted out the infamous phrase. Not funny at all, which was immediately noticed by Nigerians. The video of the great humiliation surfaced online and got people furious. Soon the governor apologized to the widow, donated N2 million to her and offered help with employment.

8. “Ojukwu is a great man, he died but his manhood lives on” –
Patience Jonathan. Dame Patience put a noble meaning into the
word “manhood”, however internet users did not miss the
opportunity to have a good laugh upon hearing it. It is worth
mentioning that the former First Lady is often attacked in social
media over grammatical blunders in her speech.

7. “Stealing is not corruption” – Goodluck Jonathan. At the
Presidential Media Chat on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 former
President Goodluck Jonathan stated that “Stealing isn’t
corruption”.

6. “I have never collected bribe in my life” – Rotimi Amaechi. The
former Rivers state governor, said this when questioned on
corruption charges leveled against him during his ministerial
screening at the Seante.

5. “I might have ruffled a few feathers in the course of my duties,
it wasn’t personal” – Lai Mohammed. Nigeria’s minister of
information stated this in his speech, during his ministerial
screening.

4. “My ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian” –
Goodluck Jonathan. The former president speaking at a special
church service to mark this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance
Day, Jonathan reminded politicians that no ambition was worth the
blood of innocent Nigerians, adding that if we continued to kill
ourselves, there would be no nation to govern.

3. “May our Loyalty never be tested” – Fashola. The minister of
power, work and housing said this in response to a question to
god-fatherism during his ministerial screening.

2. “Poverty is the problem between the mindlessly rich and
hopelessly poor” – Kayode Fayemi. The former Ekiti state
governor said this during his ministerial screening.

1. “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody” – President
Muhammadu Buhari. The president said this in his inaugural
speech as he was sworn in as the 5th democratic leader which was held at the Eagles’ Square, Abuja.

Add yours

Hmmm… This guy get liver oh! Is he proposing
marriage to a military drill officer at NYSC camp
or she was punishing him?
Anyway, them talk say love is blind… So
anything is possible.

This just shows how extreme and brutal the military can get
sometimes when discharging its duties. Pictured is the horror
which is currently going on in Burundi. First, the soldiers shot him,
then they dragged him on the tarred road and also wanted to
smash his head. These shameless treatment was carried out by
men who are supposed to be protecting him!

The UN's top rights body has agreed to send investigators to
Burundi to probe widespread abuses there amid warnings the
country is sliding towards civil war, AFP news agency reports.

Last Friday, 87 people were killed in clashes in the capital,
Bujumbura.

Unrest began in April when President Pierre Nkurunziza
announced he would seek a third term in office. He survived a
coup attempt in May, and secured a third term in disputed
elections in July.

Barring any last minute change of mind, President Muhammadu
Buhari will next Tuesday present N6.07 trillion budget proposal to
the National Assembly.

The planned presentation has compelled the senate to shift its
earlier plan to proceed on Christmas break from tomorrow to next
Tuesday.

This decision was arrived at a one-hour closed door session
yesterday before the commencement of plenary after an earlier
consideration of Friday as a suitable date for the presentation.
THISDAY learnt that most senators had initially preferred Friday
for the presentation to enable them commence their Christmas
break this week.

But Tuesday was later considered to be more suitable because the
Joint National Assembly Committee on Finance, Appropriation and
National Assembly is yet to conclude legislation on the Medium
Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Policy
(FSP).

The N6 trillion budget proposal for 2016 budget is predicated on
$38 per barrel oil benchmark; N197 exchange rate and 2.200 oil
benchmark.

The N6 trillion expenditure proposal is the highest in the history of
the country’s fiscal plans.

It was N4.07 trillion in 2010; N4.22 trillion in 2011; N4.74 trillion in
2012; N4.92 trillion in 2013; N4.6 trillion in 2014 and N5.06 trillion
in the current year including the N574.5 billion recently approved
supplementary budget.

Ironically, $38 per barrel benchmark is the lowest in recent times.
In 2011, it was $62 per barrel; $67 in 2012; $79 in 2013; $76 in
2014 and $53 per barrel in the current year.

This is for my friends and Prospective corps members looking for the best orientation camp. Its better you spend 3 weeks in a worse orientation camp and enjoy one 11 months in a good apartment than spending 3 weeks of orientation in a luxury camp and spend 11 months in a dungeon..
They said “Obey the clarion call” as corper. But them no know say e no dey easy to serve Nigeria. As corper posted to a core interior village, one get so many disadvantages. For me serving in Rivers state, I was so depressed that I was posted to a riverine area where there is no electricity power, no mobile browsing network. One moves around with speed boat and we were told that NYSC has asked us to learn atleast one skill this one year. How do we learn a skill when we don’t have mobile network to get information; no power supply to do some major works, no water and some basic amenities.

And they will tell you “it’s a sacrifice for your nation.” Yes we are sacrificing but the location we are has denied us of so many valuable things. Why can’t NYSC give higher pay to corpers serving in core interior places because their own sacrifice is more. Rather than us paying huge amount of money for transportation going to cities for trainings, NYSC should send the trainers to us.

Well let me not bore you my readers with too many words. One of my friend serving in Benue state for Batch B 2015 sent me a photo of himself and the lodge the community he was serving in gave to him. I no fit believe say my corper friend dey stay inside mud house as lodge. My guy that shared a before and present Nysc status of himself. Before NYSC my guy was leaving in comfort but presently, na mud house him dey stay now as corpers lodge for the community. Check out the photo.

Media mogul Raymond Dokpesi has been formally
arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja on a six-
count charge which includes money laundering.

Dokpesi, the Chairman of DAAR Communications, owners of
African Independent Television, AIT and Raypower, was earlier
invited and arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) in Abuja, over money disbursed by the former
National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

Shortly after he took his plea, Justice Gabriel Kolawole ordered that
he be remanded in EFCC custody pending the hearing of his bail
application by 12:30pm on Thursday.

The prosecution led by Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), accused the
defendants of receiving, N2.1bn from the office of the National
Security Adviser between October 2014 and March 19, 2015 for the
Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential media campaign in breach
of provisions of the Public Procurement Act, Money laundering Act
and the EFCC Act.

Justice Kolawole has fixed trial for February 17, 18 and March 2

What Is Wrong With Gov. Ayodele Fayose's Dressing (photos)

This is what Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State Wore to the state House of Assembly yesterday to present the 2016 budget totaling N67 billion.

Do you think there is anything wrong with his dressing on such occasion, or the house doesn't have a dress code unlike Edo and some other states?

MrsPhyno:
I understand and somewhat agree with these ur reasons to not get married...
so what is now the right reason to marry in ur opinion OP

well, as far as im concerned, marriage is the natural order of life. and anything unnatural is bad for the individual and for society.
so if you feel you should get married or that u want to, then you're probably right; you should.
anyone that categorically doesn't wanna marry shouldn't have to of course, but marriage is a natural step in life. I don't see the point in pretending otherwise.

I think we are saying the same thing, but i like the way you put it

Recently i had a friend complaining about how his girlfriend wasn't
understanding anymore.

"She is always complaining most days that our relationship
doesn't have enough communication whereas we are always on
the phone talking and other times we are skyping or chatting on
whatsapp".

While he was busy ranting about his relationship issues my mind
wandered off to the good old days.

Indeed Times are changing

I can recollect my High School Days in Benin and how i met my
first love.

I was lying on my desk during one of those 30minutes break we
usually get after the end of morning lectures, when she walked up
to me and asked why my face wasnt "looking bright".

I didn't even know that my own face wasn't bright enough for
someone else so i didn't know how to answer, but i wasn't going
to snub her so, Rhetorically i asked;

"Cant you see that i'm hungry"

The next minute she was back, standing at the front of my desk
with the then popular Twenty Naira Yoghurt and a Donut.

That was how i fell in love for the first time
It just happened that way,
Even my friends could never understand why i was into her..
Sometimes i was sent out of the classroom for not paying
attention.

I always wandered off in fantasy land of how pleasant our future
would be.
How many kids we would have and how i was going to name the
first one genesis.
I remember our first fight,
She had admitted in front of my friends that she was not going to
marry any man from my tribe.

I felt awful and hell was let loose.

When we were not fighting we would hold hands and we went
everywhere together and after school hours i would walk her home
under the scorching sun before finding my way back home.

During the holidays, i would place my oxford advance dictionary
beside me while i composed the most romantic love letters to her.

The crazy thing is, I did all these romantic things and the best
thing i got from her was a peck and it was enough for me.

How we interact with one another has been an extremely
fascinating perception for me.

Life changes with time and we are all developing along with it.
Today, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and other Online Networking
Platforms have come with style and it has continued to improve
connectivity in a lot of ways, making the world a global village.

In any case, a great deal has changed, and a ton of things such as
in this case, Relationships are no more as fascinating as they used
to be.

The way od life in general

The Independent National Electoral
Commission has cancelled Saturday’s
Bayelsa State governorship election in
Southern Ijaw Local Government Area
— one of the state’s eight LGAs.
The decision, which will soon be
announced officially by INEC, means
the elections are inconclusive.
INEC said the decision was taken
because of violence, the abduction of
electoral officials and ballot box
snatching, according to details seen by
PREMIUM TIMES.
The election will be conducted in due
date.
Governor Seriake Dickson has a clear
lead in the election, according to
results announced so far by INEC.
Mr. Dickson, the candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, won in
majority of the seven local
government areas announced on
Sunday by INEC.
His main challenger, Timipre Sylva of
the All Progressives Congress, APC,
has so far scored the second highest
number
