You visit white house and you say it's God doing! Taking the name of God in vain.why are we so foolish!.

see how the story has been embellished to look like a normal clash.If it had happened in Rivers state the would have been a screaming headline of cult clash.

Don't ever take it if you are an ulcer patient. it is very acidic.

This is a contrived piece.The author just pieced one and one together to make up the article.We know people take advantage of the dollar situation but not the way the writer puts it.Pure exaggeration and lies.

LIKE THE GREAT BOB MARLEY.

Arrant nonsense.Too dry a joke.

omenka:
They are such funny bunch of people. When it suits them, they get their news from SR, even the Nnamdi not bearing weapons at the time of arrest story, they got from SR. But when the same newspaper reports anything against PDP or Kanu, or Jonathan, they become a "lying propaganda medium" financed by Tinubu and APC, and Sowore becomes a "uni drop-out" and a "useless Yeloba tout".

, SR has no option than to report it. From the tune and the caption you will that SR is humbled.

tuale4u:
I agree with sagay completely.

thank God Prof Itse sagay is from delta state and south south.\
This further proof South South are not willing to be part of crazy Biafra.

Igbo Marginalisation is a Big Fat Lie. It is Just a Propaganda[/size]

There has been a lot of shout of marginalisation by South East part of Nigeria since after May 29th, 2015. This is a lie that have been said too long which is now looking like true because others have refused to come out and correct this big lie. I will like to address most of the points use in spreading this lie. What we have in Nigeria is tribal competition and not Marginalisation.

1. They Claim Igbo need to score like 70% while the North need to score 5% to gain admission to Federal govt Secondary School

This point is highly flawed. First of all, the requirement of high cut off mark for admission in Federal govt Secondary School is not limited to South East. South west (Yoruba) and South South also require high cut off to gain same admission. This in itself is not marginalization. This in itself is an inclusion policy in order to ensure the educational weak North still have access to Federal govt College. Despite the cut off differences, South east, south west and south south still dominate the federal govt colleges admission. I believe it would have been marginalisation if we subject the north to the the same cut off as us in the south. Because they would not have been able to compete because they are weak in educational capacity. Policy of inclusion and diversity is a global practice. Multinationals companies are compelled to include people of all race, disability, religion, sexual orientation and gender in their workforce. This is a United Nation mandate. This means there is a minimum percentage of a group of people that must be in the workforce even if there are more capable people in another group to fill up the space. A society that have no space for the weak is not a fair and just society.

2. The North dominate Federal Civil Service due to quota system

This is another big lie. It has been proven than Imo State has the highest number of federal civil servant followed by kogi and Ogun state in Nigeria. By geopolitical zone, south west has the highest, followed by North central, south south third, south east fourth, North west and north east are the last two. The south is 61% of the total Nigeria federal civil servant while the north is 39%. The only thing I may agree with is that some northerners may have risen faster than some of their southern colleagues. However this has been highly corrected in the last 16 years of Democracy. In the last 16years the South has been in Position of President for 13years and the North 3years. As at May 29th, 2015 there were more permanent secretaries of southern origin than northerners. Currently the head of civil service is a southern woman from Cross river State.

3. Federal road in South east are bad because of marginalization.

This is another lie. Marginalization is not responsible for bad state of south east federal road. Two factors are responsible. Soil type and corruption. In the last 16years almost all the ministers of work have been from south south. From Tony Anenih, to odion Ugbesia to Mike Onolimemhen. Who among this people will want to marginalised south east? To bring my point home on the issue of soil type and corruption, Onitsha -Owerri road was completed less than 8years ago, today the road is already dilapidated. if you spend the same money used for that road in a northern road, it will last 20years or more. Instead of the contractors to do the road by putting the soil type into consideration, because of corruption the roads are poorly done and money are pocketed. If you go and find out who the contractors are you will discover that there are a lot of southerners involve in sharing the money.

4. South east is marginalized because of Unemployment and poverty
This is another twisted statement. I believe there are more poverty and unemployment in the North than in the South. The truth is that unemployment in Nigeria is a national problem. There is poverty everywhere in Nigeria. Unemployed youth are all over the country.

5. There are more northerners in NNPC than Southerners
This is another big lie. There are no more northerners in NNPC. Actually there are slightly more southerners in NNPC. NNPC usually recruit many of their staffs by quota system. Today we have 19 northern states and 17 southern state. This will make it appear you will have slighty more northerners. This may be true before 1999. But since Gaus Obaseki from Edo state became NNPC GMD, he changed the recruitment structure. While about 60% of recruitment are still base on quota system, about 40% are base on merit. This has greatly changed the statistics of NNPC staffs. And also in general in the Oil and gas industries, more than 70% of the staffs are southerners. Yoruba and Igbo dominate the oil and gas industry in Nigeria. Those of us from south south even feel marginalized by Yoruba and Igbo when it come to oil and gas Job

6. South east is marginalised because they have five(5) states while others have six (6) states.
This is more of political competition than marginalization. About 13 Northern states each are bigger in size than all the South East states combined. Kogi state is the 13th biggest state in Nigeria. Kogi State size is 29833km sq. If you add up the size of all the south east state it is 29095km sq. Thus the whole south east combined is approximately the same size with Oyo State, the 14th biggest state in Nigeria. The whole of south east is one-third of South south. The argument mostly put forward by Igbo on this topic is that state should be shared by population only and size should not be considered. With the small size of south east in relative to other region, south east is suppose to have maximum of 3 states. It is the consideration of the population and their political strength that makes it 5 states. I believe the population has been strongly considered.

7. Igbo Presidency
This is another area where you hear plenty lie on marginalization propanganda. In other to fully discuss this issue we need to look at Nigeria history briefly. In the beginning of Independence in 1960, Nigeria politics was dominated by Igbo and Hausa/Fulani. The Yoruba were the one who were playing Opposition. From 1960 to 1966 before the first coup, Nigeria federal govt was more Hausa and Igbo government at the centre. While Tafawa balewa was prime minister , Nnamdi Azikiwe was President (though ceremonial but he was number one citizen of the country). Then came the first coup which made Igbo man the First Military head of State of Nigeria. After that, it became from one coup to another which was dominated by the North. This in itself was not marginalization. It was simply dog eat dog affair and purely military affair and power struggle. Then came democracy in 1979 to 1983, this again became Hausa and Igbo government. Yoruba was now the opposition. after that came coup. Yes the military govt became northern dominated. but I cant call it marginalization because this were simply power struggle among opportunist. Then came 1999 and democracy. There was a kind of gentleman agreement or understanding of power sharing from south to North. We must understand that the power sharing was not by geopolitical zone but by region. Obasanjo who is from south did 8 years, the govt moved to North in the name of Yar adua. from North it came to south through Jonathan who did approximately 6 years. From Jonathan it went to the North through Buhari. If Buhari do his 8 years it will come to the South again in 2023. This in itself have been very fair and just. Nigeria democracy from 1999 has been fair to both North and South. By 2023, South East need to play the right politics for them to get presidency in 2023. Because 2023 presidency is for the south not for the south east. As far as the Northern part of Nigeria is concern, 2023 should be southern presidency. The truth is that South East, South West and South South will compete for it. Nobody will just give you the presidency just like that without you playing the right politics. If Igbo continue to make almost every other part of Nigeria their enemy, south south or south west will get 2023 presidency. Should South west or South South win 2023 presidency nobody can call it marginalization. It is the same Igbo that are claiming marginalization who are Supporting Wike an Ikwrere man in Rivers state. From Omehia, to Amaechi to Wike are all Ikwerre. Ikwerre and upland have been ruling rivers state for 17 years now (Since 1999). Yet the greatest supporters of Wike (an Ikwerre and upland) are Igbo in rivers state. This is one big hippocracy. You claim you are politically marginalised yet you are promoting exactly the same thing in rivers state. Just as I said, losing in a political competition is not marginalization. Wike (upland) winning dakuku (riverine) is not marginalization but political competition.


In summary, there is only one form of marginalization in Nigeria. That is the marginalization of the masses by the political class. Where the political class eat fat while the masses are left to die in squalor.

Resident naira land Apc apologists. In the situation room doing the hatchet job for their pay masters. So easy to recognize them.

You can believe what you want. I can't expect you to think beyond your cognitive capacity. But then, try these elementary exercises.
1. Was any federal road leading to your house or village worked on during the GEJ administration?
2. If the quote the writer ascribed to Fashola was true, don't you think it would have been reported by mainstream media inclusive of Thisday where the writer works for as editor? Why would he be looking for a rebuttal if he heard from the horse's mouth?
Think please.

You sound and responded like one of those paid to counter to any unfavorable piece against the ruling party here and beyond. Fine you are paid to do this yo man job but a times you should not make readers to see you as one that reason and write like an SS1 boy. We know you operate many handles for this purpose and their are many of your type on this forum. I am sure you also manipulate the 'like' button.

Hi folks! I just bought a baby parrot,but do not have experience training birds(especially a parrot). Can anyone help me out with useful tips?

You keep him in a warm place. Preferably in a carton. Also place some used newspapers inside to help keep him warm. Feed with mashed yarm mixed with palm oil. Or garri mixed with palm oil with little water to soften it. Open his beck gently and push it down gently. The parrot will equally made attempt to swallow it. Feed three times a day. Also make sure you keep the compartment clean so as not to attract ants. Keep the carton away from rats, cats, dogs etc. You can give it water sparingly using injection syringe or tube.

kidgod:
Can someone summarize it for me?

You guys don't have patience to read. No wonder we now have graduates who can't think and analyze issues critically.

The piece is no news just to drive traffic to for readers to read about churchil's outfit.

AlexReports:
OLAKUNLE CHURCHILL the husband of star actress, Tonto Dike was recently attacked few days ago with his friend who had just returned from the United States of America, on a visit to Ghana for the first time.

Churchill, who had just picked up his business partner cum friend from the Kotoka International Airport in Ghana, had his car blocked by a group of young men who immediately brought out harmful weapons to attack them after first pretending to be allies.

But when things went out of hands, the security men were called into action as they reacted swiftly and made sure that serenity was restored and Churchill and his friend were driven home safely.

Briefing  our correspondent, the attack according to the security personnel (who has asked that his name and that of his colleagues be kept unknown for now), who witnessed everything that occurred that night said that the duo was saved by the sheer grace of God; because the hoodlums who caused the stir in the neighborhood came with vicious intentions tracing Churchill and friend from outside, but they were halted by the tight security men who were guarding the environs at that moment.

According to our further follow-up on this issue, we can report that both Churchill and his friend have formally made their own side of the story known to the district police station in the area.

Also, whatever may follow suit in regards to this case, we shall bring to the notice of the public accordingly.

Churchill is the CEO of Big Church Entertainment outfit in Ghana, a subsidiary of the Big Church Group. It might interest you to know that the Group currently operates in over 10 industries across 3 different countries worldwide. They have a reputation for delivering excellence, professional services, and enjoy strong relationship with all our stakeholders.

Good morning and happy sunday to you all.

I'm writing this piece to notify most christian youths of their giving attitude towards God. I remember last sunday when I went to church, when it was time for offering, the girl sitting close to me just removed N20 (yes you heard me right TWENTY NAIRA!) From her purse, inserted it into the envelope and dropped it in the offering basket.

Looking at this lady, her sophisticated dressing, her phone, the kind of perfume oozing out from her, then dropping N20 to her creator.

To me I saw that as an insult to God. It would have been better if she didn't give any offering at all than embarrassing God.

If you love someone and want to appreciate him/her, even if you lack the funds to do so at the moment, you'll still go beyond your limits to prove to that person that you really love him/her regardless of what it'll cost you.

Likewise God. If we say we love him (God), then we should prove it by the kind of offerings we give to him.

If you have a boss you want to appreciate for a promotion he gave to you, would you give him a gift of N20 or N50?

Or you're a final year student whom your HOD just waived a course for so you'll graduate with your mates, would you buy him a gift of N20?

You'll end up provoking him and make him regret offering you that help rather than being commended for the gift.

In 2Samuel 24:24 David said.

 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

So if a whole king like david refused to take a land offered free of charge by a law abiding citizen. How much more we who battle with foundational principalities and powers on daily basics, and still come out victorious. Thanks to the power in the name and blood of Jesus.

I want to charge us today that as we go to our various churches, we should appreciate God, if if we have nothing to thank him for, our being alive should be a testimony of his love towards us. So double your offerings by giving him something that cost you much and I'm sure that he in return would bless you abundantly.

Happy sunday to you all.

Ur piece is a complete negation of the theme of the article.our problem in this country is that we run to conclusion easily.Has she been found guilty by any court?What we write is a function of our upbringing.

FemiFaniKayode:
This is a lesson to everyone that when you do not live just and right, money CANNOT buy good health or give you peace.
What will it matter if you have all the billions in hard currency and you live a secluded life, no peace and no perfect health.
In as much as I naturally would want to wish a fellow human being( trying hard not to say animal) well despite the fact that only an animal will take what belongs to millions of people and keep for themselves.

Diezani thought and never envisaged that a time like this will come, she is reaping what she deserves and I it is my prayer that she never recovers from this terminal illness and that present politicians and past who have all stolen our common wealth come to the reality that it is one by one their time too is coming
