The Nigeria army seems to be watching the formation of a new organization “Jagagban Army”? Should this be ignored especially now that the youth leader is appearing on military uniforms. Is this not a joke taken too far
You will think that Lagos do not have the challenges bedeviling other Nigerian states after listening to this man. You will think that Lagos is Washington DC. Obviously APC has nothing to campaign with Nigerians please vote wisely! Do not be scammed the second time . Is Obi or Atiku!
stabas: During the 2nd semester,a lecturer friend of mine I had been doing 'runs' with told me there's an elective course I should 'run' in order to grad and they'll use it to replace any other I fail,which I did at 25k per course(all final year courses).Only for me to hear from people later on that they weren't using that course to replace any.On calling him,he told me he din't tell me they were using the course to replace any.I felt bad and used but I still had faith.I sowed seeds and prayed like never before,telling God I can't be having a 2nd spilling year.I remember clearly when a woman made a prayer point in Church saying 'I shall not end this year in shame'.i prayed like I was about to die and sowed seeds to the prayer as well.i kept telling God that it was better I died than to go through what 2016 will offer me if I don't grad this year cos certainly,i will now have to tell my dad,who is already proudly telling people he now has 3 graduates at home.
Just last week,the results were released.You guessed it.My name was in the list of spillover students again,my final chance of being a graduate.
I seriously do not know how to go about it now cos i'm just confused.Its too big a burden for me to bear.Please I need the wise advises of my fellow nairalanders as it will help me on what to do this coming year and above all,although i've practically given up on prayers,i still need your prayers as well.If you're looking for who to pray for in your 31st night prayer,please let it be me cos God might answer yours,even if He dint answer mine.
Seun Lalasticlala Ishilove Please take this to the promised land for more contributions.

macaranta: This sudden confidence is a cause for concern...Let's not be blinded by partisan politics.It is dangerous for our democracy if the Executive Via APC is manipulating the judiciary to seek annulment of PDP power states(Rivers,Akwa Ibom,Abia and Delta).
An Objective and Well meaning Nigerian will ask...Has any APC won state been annulled in favor of a pdp candidate? Why now?Just after the ministerial screening. Someone earlier said the ruling Judge is related to the President...then there is conflict of interest in that ruling and it could be seen as biased. I am neither PDP nor APC ,but this recent trend of annulling PDP-Held positions is a recipe for chaos. All those following APC with a zombies loyalty ,think properly before you spew thrash.
Abia election was a Charade...Free and fair...PDP won't win APGA...don't knw about AKWa ibom and Rivers. ..
pussyphilia: why I don't blame my Igbo brethren is that if the news had been about something negative like say she was caught trying to peddle drugs, this thread would have been capitalized on to mock the Igbo's about how they are the only tribe in Nigeria that have bad people amidst them. And when that happens, your types won't be there to "counsel".

check my past posts...I have attacked both camps...tribalism and racism helps no one. .....lets quit doing the that...neither to ibo ,yoruba ir fulani....u have good and bad people everywhere. ..biko .Thanks. Goodness has no race or tribe
handie: Wetin dey bring that igbo talk for here now? Can't u just comment without spewing tribalistic trash? Must it always be about d region she's from? Can't u just for once give kudos to this wonderful young lady without showing to d whole world that she's igbo? If u care to know, she didn't attend any igbo school (from nursery to university). Who knows? She most probably won't have scaled these heights if her parents are as myopic and tribalistic like u
well said..im really getting fed up with d degree of tribalistic colouration of young Nigerians.is a pity
gab264: Useless nation...... Nigeria you and yaa leaders shall not no peace For the rest of thaa days.... Ur policies have shown who u truly are. Boko haram will never end in the north. Economy of the dis nation shall crumble more and more. No amount of policies shall revamp it again. Buhari u shed innocent bloods just to get to dat sit. But behold, thou shall not see it end, those bloods u shed are crying every day in the presence of our Almighty God. Because of his anger, he has dispatched angel of destruction to the economy of this useless nation,. Ur policies will turn to the worst. Many have lost there jobs within this period of destruction. Very soon Nigeria will crawl into reccesion, yaa foreign reserve shall be deplated, tribes shall rise and emerges as a nations.

athaboi: So is not the popular guy Okoro now..they are all northern muslims. Every cospiracy against the igbos in this country must fail...everyone want to talk and plan against the igbos but i can assure all nigerians that we will scale through from all the propagandas. Recently is yorubas trying to set the south up against the east but those who believe in Jesus are always vendicated! God bless igbo nation
...bros I think we ibos are taking this whole we are marginalised thing too far o....everything any other tribe does must be seen from ibo perspective. ..its almost sounding lyk a broken record to me.lets get a referendum ...and quit this victim way of thinking. ..
sweatlana: The truth of the matter is that both ibori and alamieyeseigha are victims of the struggle for resource control! Not that they did anything that other governors did not do but their speaking up for the rights of their people destroyed them....
That is why they are popular and much loved till this day by the Niger Delta.
For those of you from the south south supporting apc I pray that God will open yours eyes to see that the conspiracy is real. All these people want is our oil. They don't care about our people once the oil drys up they will push us out of this so called one Nigeria.
Ask your selves this: why are all the idol billionaire in the north not being hunted like our people in the south south? Because any of us with a financial muscle is a threat to their agenda! Open your eyes SOUTH SOUTH ARISE!!!
....for your mind now u are speaking d truth...James ibori..Deizani and Alams where fighting for your course. Wake up from ethnic bigotry. ...what a pity...
Sanchez01: I made up my mind ever since two years ago not to punish myself over attending musical shows involving Nigeria artistes, both Gospel and Secular. Reason for this has been best known to me from day one - our artistes are lazy, an eyesore and arrogant on stage.
So I was at the Eko Hotels yesternight for the Glo Laffta Fest. Who doesn't love a comedy show? For me, it was the best moment to ease myself of the many pressures I've been subjected to of late. Honestly, I had forgotten that music was added. I guess I wasn't really expecting a thing from any of the artistes. The code has worked ever since; love their songs over the air (TV and radio), avoid their live performances like a plague.
After laughing to no end, Burna Boy, just like every other Nigerian act came up without a single back up. It was solo, perhaps more money to him. Calling on DJ Jimmy Jatt at intervals, I could remember Burna Boy singing over six songs within 10 minutes. Which successful artistes does this
Within 15 minutes, Burna Boy had almost finished his album. His average time for each was 2 minutes each, worst of all, they were all lip-synced
The presence of DJs at shows meant for artistes have done more harm than good over the years and this is in turn affecting our music beyond the shores of Africa. The cliché has been the same over the years; they come on stage with the intention to "sing along" all in the name of performance.
It doesn't make sense attending events and all you hear on the stage is "DJ! Let's Go!!" and all you see afterwards is the annoying, regular, unrepentant and unprofessional catwalks they exhibit on the stage. Parambulating like it's a fashion show.
For Pete's sake we watch other foreign acts and they don't do all these. I keep a particular video close to my heart, a live video of Jay Z (a rapper) performing "Young Forever" with Beyoncé. One would think we have not started compared to these folks. We claim our music has attained a reasonable standard, yet they all tow the same line, boring walks, calling on DJ's to play the next track just to "sing along" or lip sync in the name of performance.
Although the subsequent comedies from Basketmouth, Bovi, I go dye and others resuscitated the show. Perhaps our artistes would fare better if they don't sing, come to the show, sign autographs and go home because I can't fathom how they justify the word "performance".
Perhaps this explains why our glorified international acts struggle in the international scene, save for those who take their shows to these folks. Life, as far as music is concerned is beyond cut and paste in the studio. It continues on the stage not with mediocrity but giving your all.
I honestly couldn't wait to leave the venue after seeing Korede Bello, Dija, and Reekado Banks trying to find their way to the backstage to prepare at about 10:30pm. The scenario is all too familiar; better to have me listen to your songs in my house than see you jumping around while you sing your 2 mins songs with the cliché "DJ! Let's go!!"
PS: For those who don't know, lip-synching is considered offensive and highly scandalous if roped around an artiste in saner climes.

GLeesMODEL: If you recall in 2014, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and his wife Anita, who now goes by her maiden name Ebhodaghe caused quite a stare when news of divorce between the two hit the net.
The divorce was filed in April 9, 2014 at Divorce Section A, Central Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn, London, United Kingdom on the grounds of "unreasonable behaviour" and for the first time since that divorce, Anita is now speaking.
Anita took to her blog to discuss how her life has been changing as of late making some serious references to her marriage as she wrote. She wrote:
[b]It is my desire to reach out and inspire you especially if you feel vulnerable and in need of a change. I hope to inspire you to believe in yourself no matter the circumstances. I want to help you recreate your life going forward, so you can live beautifully. I have been through this journey of rediscovery and nothing is as beautiful as realising one’s uniqueness as I have done. Life is a precious however, your life can go through different seasons: winter, spring, summer or autumn. Life can hit you with financial loss, disappointments, death of a loved one, a broken relationship, loss of a job, a divorce, being falsely accused or being a victim of crime. These can shatter you to pieces but you can do something about it.
Life is a gift from God and you deserve to be happy irrespective of your age, race, gender, background or financial situation. I urge you to appreciate the gift you are, you are precious and valuable. Never lose sight of who you are; begin to create new visions and dreams for your life. Let nothing stop you from growing every day. My story is not one of a bed of roses, far from it but I had a choice to either beat myself over the regret of tolerating abuse for so long or put a stop to the abuse and recreate my life for the best. My journey was not in vain. I can now help others realise that their situation does not define them.
In order to move on with life, I have come to realise that nothing is permanent. Your problem is not permanent; you can do something to change it by ensuring you do not allow the situation or the person make your life miserable. Pain is a fact of life, it is inevitable but suffering is optional. You can do something to change the pain by over looking every obstacle, take control as a force of nature to grow and expand. Do what is necessary now to use the gift God has given you to unleash your purpose.
My message to all is simple: you have value therefore discover your potential. Do not allow anybody destroy you or rob you of living a joyful life. Your life is not wasted; you have just started a different phase of life. God will show you how to use your testimony to help others and restore their lives to exuberance. Please join me to encourage and inspire others. You have a story to tell, you can contribute and participate in the dialogues here. Let us all learn from one another’s experience and reach others with the gift of love and kindness. Share your experience by emailing me or making a comment. Celebrate your uniqueness because there is only one of you.[/b]

georgee: This is the beginning of the end for DSTV...moving all important matches from SS3 to SS5.. I paid 9,500 for compact plus, only for DSTV to shock me today. I will go and buy startimes this month end.. DSTV can go to hell with their BPL.
bjt: It's like SS3 will not be showing it. Only SS5 for those with full bouquet. Na WA for DSTV o. They just keep scamming us, SS3 use to be the channel for major matches.
...Dstv scamming nigerians...occupydstv...this is not acceptable
NDPVF: Chief may have delayed the delivery of the project,but that doesn't mean he has eloped with such a chicken change,to the detriment of his person/image.He is too big for such.Shame on that newspaper that wrote that trash. I want to give you clue to Chief's personality.Use your google,check the person that single handedly built a catolich church in Imo state,that Gej's wife went and commissioned.Ifeanyi Uba of capital oil & gas,was there.To be frank,those guys are not my equal moneywise.But i was there,courtsey of my cousin Asukpa,whom we do call "Onwa".Its an Igbo language anyway,but he bears it,because he hitted it big time through Chief.To cut the story short,Chief is a no coward or push over.Take it from me.Buhari is a nobody to make him fear.
NDPVF: [s][/s].This is 'trashfull'. The CEO of Rudo Nigeria,is a kinda friend to me. He fears no man nor god.I won't mention his name,but he is from Umuhukabia(don't know if i get the name right),in Imo state.He owns more than four construction companies( Rudo,Viche,Emche,PVG)etc,and does a lot of work for FG. 2.5b naira,is a chicken change to blackmail him with.The road passing through my community,to Okorutom,which includes bridges,was done by his company Viche.Thats where we met. He is popularly called "Chief" by everybody,including my cousin Asukpa,who was the CLO then. Just want to tell you that i knows him personally.He is not a coward.He fears no man,not even Buhari.So gerrout.
....ur pride is foolish. ...u are everything wrong with Nigeria. ..Chief my ass
