I'm sure all the self appointed defenders of Oyedepo would be very happy if the holy slaps were issued to their mamas. The earlier you all desist from these outright denial of reality the better for you. I sincerely pray that wool/scales that have been pulled over thy eyes do fall off quickly, so that you can move on with your precious lives and attain your God given destinies. Amen.

I only wish the zealousness can be put to more fruitful ventures.

I guess Humpty Dumpty ended up in Nigeria after the kings horses and men failed to put him back together again!
We all got what we deserved when we chose to vote on emotions rather than on objectivity. Enjoy the fresh foul air!

This is clearly a childish proposition and a recipe for anarchy. The civil war was fought because of the deep seated division and mistrust within the army. A distrust largely created by the selective justice of Nzeogwu and his cohorts. To propose this is to take us back by 50 years. What we need now is an assertive and purposeful leadership of which we lack in DumbJoe aka Mr Ibu.

What we have now is a slowpoke who failed to honor a gentleman's agreement but lacks the balls to hold the center as anarchy is now set loose upon the land.
Talk of things fall apart!

Nigerians are yet to see anything. I guess what we are seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. By the time the vicious cycle of the ineptitude of dumbjoe's administration comes full spin we would gnashing our teeth like the grinding stones of Babylon. The earlier an intervention the better. We  need no necromancer to decipher the handwriting on the wall. It clear that this administration is clueless as to the way forward. I say impeach or impale dumbjoe now!

@Jakumo
Such senseless ness. Why don't you get the Man's number and spew your bile directly into his ear

What is senseless about it? U mean his sense of humor?
Im sure Jakumo is too smart to move close to any "evangelistic slapper" like the likes of Eunuch & Co who are just short of adding a final "" to their exalted titles of "GO".

Thread of Hypocrites!

Crap! I tell you about a century ago, most ladies in parts of Africa strolled about with laps/breasts exposed. This did not lead to social upheaval. Mr Hypocrite please find something worthwhile to do with your life!

Keep fooling yourselves that Nigerians can do nothing, The "Okada"/"Achaba" revolution is just around the corner!!
The occupy lekki was not a gathering of "real" Nigerians. Try mingling or profiling the the live and times of the Okada men then you will realize the latent but growing tension that would explode in our faces in the not too distant future.

So Kim Kardashian's Name Sake is Dead?

Wow! Memories. Infact, I'm salivating now. Mai Shayi was a staple source of well balanced meals for me back in the good old high school days.
I must tell you mai shayi is a global phenomenon. I have come across a couple of them in South East Asia.
They all perform the same tea cup mixing stunts if you know what I mean.

How True is this story? Anyone with any info on it?

" The Next World War Will Be Fought With Stones" - Albert Einstein.

More Fresh Air, I Guess.

HERE were hints yesterday that petrol (Premium Motor Spirit) may sell for about N120 per litre, if fuel subsidy is withdrawn.

Finance Minister Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has said the removal of fuel subsidy next year is inevitable – to keep the economy afloat and rebuild infrastructure.

The hint on the new pump price emanated from a fact-sheet presented to select leaders of four political parties at a Monday night meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The document, which The Nation obtained last night, states that subsidy must go, in the interest of the nation’s future and the masses.

Mrs Okonjo-Iweala, however, unveiled some safety nets being planned by the government to ameliorate the effects of the withdrawal of the subsidy.

She said between 2006 and 2011, the nation spent N3,655.17 trillion to subsidise fuel. The cash is 30 per cent of the total expenditure, 118% of the capital expenditure and 4.18% of the GDP.

“Subsidy does not get to the poor; the middle and upper classes are the real beneficiaries. It is clearly unsustainable,” said the Minister.

“Subsidy in 2011 alone so far is over N1.3trillion, which is higher than our capital budget. Evidence shows that the price of fuel in Nigeria is below both the African and international average.

“Nigeria, with its large population and small oil base, is comparatively poor, compared to other oil producers.

“Compared to other oil producing countries, Nigeria has a significantly lower GDP per capita; substantially less oil revenue per capita and greater social.

“With total crude oil production of approximately 2.5million barrels per day, Nigeria has a significantly lower GDP per capita. Nigeria’s GDP per capita is around $1200 per year, with over 167million in population.”

“Therefore, we must rethink our approach to managing our scarce resources to provide services to Nigerians. We will be better off using the amount spent on subsidy to target poorer groups and big infrastructure projects.”

Mrs Okonjo-Iweala hinted on what the pump price might look like next year, if the subsidy is removed.

She said: “Under the current downstream sector structure, prices are not determined by demand and supply. Pump price of PMS is fixed at N65 per litre by the government.

The landing cost of a litre of PMS is about N123 per litre, based on an average crude oil price of US$113.98pb. To this, add the cost of distributing, bridging and profit margins of N15.72 per litre. This results in effective cost of N139/litre.

“In 2012, the landing cost of a litre of PMS is estimated at N104/litre, based on a crude oil price of US$90pb. To this add the cost of distributing, bridging and profit margins of N15.72/litre. This results in effective cost of N120 per litre.

“Fuel subsidy is what is paid by government to keep prices below free market. The subsidy causes distortions that result in huge economic costs such as rent-seeking behaviour and smuggling.

“The amount of subsidy equals to the difference between the consumer pump price of fuel versus the total cost of producing or importing. The price of petrol is N65 per litre, but actual cost of supply is N139 per litre. And projected at N120 per litre in 2012.

“This means that currently for every one litre of petrol purchased at the official price of N65, government contributes N73. Presently, only petrol and kerosene enjoy government subsidy. Diesel has already successfully been deregulated.”

The Minister, who is also co-ordinating the economy, made in-depth submissions on why the removal of subsidy has become necessary.

She said: “Subsidy is a major fiscal and financial burden on the nation. From 2006 -2011, about N3.7trillion was spent on subsidy.

“In 2011, N1.348trillion was spent between January and October and it is expected to reach N1.436trillion by the end of the year. This represents 30 per cent of total Federal Government Expenditure; 118% of the capital budget; and 4.18% of GDP.

The breakdown of fuel subsidy in the past five years is as follows:

She added: “The large increase observed in 2011 is as a result of (i) increased crude oil price from US $81.25 per barrel(pb) to $US 113.98pb; (b) exchange rate movements; (c) larger volumes consume(about 35m litres per day); and (iv) N150billion of kerosene carried over from 2009 and 2010.

The minister listed six benefits of deregulation.

She said: “Deregulation implies limited intervention by government; it allows for better regulation and transparency; allows for free operation activities in the sector; attracts new investors into the market and it increases competition and promotes overall higher productivity; reduces scarcity by ensuring adequate supply of petroleum products; and similar success story to the telecommunication sector.”

The Minister also reeled out social safety nets in the pipeline for Nigerians, if the subsidy is removed.

These are:

•Launching of Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE);

•Maternal and child health services;

•Public works/youth employment programme;

•Urban mass transit scheme

•Vocational training schemes; and

•High-profile infrastructure projects: Roads and rail; water resources, power; refineries (with private sector).

She said: “Structures have been developed to guarantee adequate oversight, accountability and implementation of the various projects.

“To ensure effectiveness, efficiency and delivery, high powered committee of eminent Nigerians to monitor revenue proceeds and proper implementation and use of the amount saved. Members with proven integrity will be drawn from the Nigerian youth, women groups and civil society organisations.”

I wonder why some of us are so dumb to swallow any garbage hook line plus sinker.
What the survey has revealed is that NIGERIANS ARE THE MOST TRUTHFUL.

The fact is that all the other nationalities were more ECONOMICAL WITH THE TRUTH in the responses.

Where in the world but EUROPE & AMERICA is ONE NIGHT STAND a Household Word? Please tell me!!

Instead of Building Factories and Hospitals, We pride ourselves in building churches and trading in hope. Merchants of Hope!!

A Poster/Initiator,
MY ADVISE:

Please get a credible list of both villains and heroes and create a VOTING POLL. Period.

Your current approach will get all too messy soon. You can leave the treadmill for debate will the FORUM POLL will maintain data integrity cum control.

Obudu is a ranch. A ranch is the home of cattle like[b] bulls[/b] etc. So I guess, its true that money talks and bullshit [/b]works.
Lots of [b]bullshit @ obudu. I tell U.

Sour Sour Grapes to Some Though.

The woman is careless with misplaced values of what is important. Her eldest child is 6 yrs old and she is in the US doing what?? leaving hubby with a 19yr old girl who probably walks about in the house without pant and bra and everything shaking leaving little to imagination. The wife for never marry then. mtchew!

The man a weakling let his wife go back to the US to chase a career for how long?? Cannot control himself only God knows if its for 6mnths or 2 years the wife will be gone yonder. Silly man almst killing the innocent 19 yr old girl he probably disvirgined because if she is a gal about town she will be madam No 2 before madam comes back or she will refuse to abort the pregnancy and extort the man for all he is worth.

Anyway alot of silly men are like this. Just a fact, afterall the man has not announced himself as the new biblical Joseph. I am certain oga has not learnt his lesson there are still many gymnastics going on.   

Spot On!

The man has chopped and will definitely re-chop again. It's basic instinct 101. He's probably going to chop this evening again after work!
I recall the 2 "Laws of O'kwaffor"

According to O'kwaffor et all (1980)

1. For consensual banging to occur, there must be a state of mutual agreement between both banger & bangee
2. A hole was banged can always be re-banged.

I heard the 3rd law is undergoing testing and ratification by the Imperial Society of Banging Regulations (ISBR) and may be released sometimes in 2016.

Note: Original word "Kwaffing" was changed to "Banging" due to popular submissions to the ISBR in 1989!

I think the hospitality service providers have adopted a wrong business model in this case. They can create some budget live ins with  double decker units, simple shower, toilet and charge say between N8,000 to N10,000 per nite with free breakfast.

With that the turn out to obudu will record a quantum leap in terms of visits/revenue. Going by the current rates obudu will just remain like "icebacks of atlanta"

Wait Till We Bundle MTN Outta 9ja!
I Wish I Was Commander in Chief!

All Humans Cheat. Its Only the "Cheat Mode" that Varies.
Cheat Mode can be via the following"

1. Physically (Kiss, Smooch, handling)
2. Electronically(Chats, Social Networking(F-book, 2wits), Nairaland, Indecency etc)
3. By Proxy (Pimping -Private/Executive)
4. Discreet Outings (Common Excuse)

Can any one provide detailed info as regards the cost of chalet/room accommodation in the ranch?

Thanks

U guys are not serious. Are Aki & Pawpaw not Nigerians?

Didn't they get national honors? In case u don't know, we are the Dwarf of Africa and we celebrate dwarf-hood!. (im just kidding)

Please provide either the link to the source of the scan of the newspaper snippet.
U need to prove your submission.

Well, I Guess He Also Married Miss Nigeria and Became Mr Nigeria By Virtue of Wedlock.
Not Everyone Will Bleep A Miss Nigeria in Their Lifetime.

Onlytruth:
lol. He was a bad soldier who believed that killing of innocent civilians was an act of valiance. He was severally defeated by poorly equipped Biafran brigades and was becoming a shame to the Nigerians before he was yanked from his command. He hated the minorities of Eastern Nigeria and hated Igbos more. If that is your definition of decency in uniform, then why not build him a statue in your corner of Nigeria?
BTW he was also similarly retired from the army. Where is he today. He is somewhere smoking gbanaa profusely. He will die uncelebrated and unsong. 
You can erect a statue for him in your land. 

What Did This Dude Just Say?
Nairaland of AllSorts! Anyway, I Guess Nairaland is a Microcosm of the Collective Incoherence Plaguing this Contraption Called Nigeria

JamesDoe:
Instead of building statues of men that their descendants and acolytes will end up using to beat the common man, why not create an Ojukwu library or Civil War museum where people can learn about the civil war. The characters involved, the untold stories of bravery, humanity, camaraderie and compassion.

A 300m statue will divide a lot more than it will unite. But I'm not Igbo so up to you, it's not like NL commentators can even effect this.

The Only Sensible Submission So Far

Onlytruth:
Eureka! I found a suitable name for him -SKELETON WITH A GUN.  

The Man U Refer to As A Skeleton is Brig Gen Benjamin Adekunle Alias Black Scorpion.
He Has Made A Name for Himself. His Signature is Already Indelible in the Timeline of Nigerian History. What About U?
You May Just Fizzle Out Like Any Other Unknown Soldier!
