I don't know if anyone saw any port, dry or wet
It is well.

That's so easy to say by a govt, who with a compass and Even the wisdom of Solomon, couldn't tell the direction of things.
Its easy to say when you stay around Aso Rock and live on the blood of Nigerians.
A govt that cannot be creative about dollars-exchange, a govt that has made kerosene so expensive that forestation policies have gone to grave because of cutting down of wood for cooking. A govt that can not be creative about stemming incessant job losses and hunger.
How creative have you been Mr President??
Its easy to say.
My opinion.

Its not only wrong, its dumb.
If they wanna find out your economic and financial status, with a sense of respect and decorum, they could just ask where you work, and what you do where you work.
Nothing is permanent. Change happens to everything in life.
It goes to show how much importance they attached to money, as their value sense, than to Love and Good home for their daughter.

hamilton62:
pls I want to understand you, what is he fighting the Fed for since the rent are paid in some states and the money for it is provided by the budget, so should he an efulefu governor, who doesn't know his right to his people?
What about the yield of the rent in the life of his people?
pls, always stand straight and not on the fence or whatsoever

Sir, I don't understand what you meant by standing-on-the-fence. I clearly made three assertions in post:
1. All federal agencies' rent in state level are budgeted for every year
2. The budgeted amount often disappear between the overseeing ministry and the State Coordinators.
3. If Fayose has issues with fed. Govt, he should fight fairly enough as not to make his people, who make the majority of the federal workes in Ekiti suffer in the process.
.........if you then go ahead to interpret me wrongly, that's your issue. And mind you, i have right to my opinions.

While I don't support the idea of federal agencies collecting budgetary allocation for rent without using it as appropriated, however Fayose should consider and remember that most of the workers in the state are Indigenes of his state.
If he's fighting the federal, he should frustrate his people who will be left in the open.

Guys just accept that yal are some ugly mofos, real talk....

You dont really come across as a dazzling pearl either.

A real man address issues, others carry rumours......wike spoke to their faces, I expect an intelligent defence. But we all know they wouldn't give any.......
They are all same set of political vultures, seeking to lick the flesh off our skeletons.

A govt only interested in irrelevancies

At least we still have a body responsive to and responsible for the Safety of Lives and properties.
I hope our govt wouldn't use backdoors diplomacy to keep the UN operatives at bay.
We all know what it is, we only hope justice prevails.

We know these facts, Intelligent people knew it was a great conspiracy orchestrated by people who think power is their birthright........
Truth will find a way out, cuz its like smoke and water........
I was wondering why the military was hindering people from speaking to the released girls, including their parents. Now we know better.

[color=deeppink]Hi all, I and my boyfriend have been dating for about eleven months. And he used to take me out when we first started dating; he took me out a couple of times or three times. But then he stopped taking me out and when I asked him why, he said he's broke and doesn't get much hours that's why he doesn't go out but the problem is he sends money back home to his family. I'm getting confused.

If he loves me why doesn't he take me out and if he's truly broke, how come he sends money back home.[/color]

At this age and times, unprofitable "take out" is your problem. I was expecting you'll be looking forward to him to taking you to mama instead of to MAMA CASS.
First, the people that trained him from baby till you could meet him few months ago comes first. And come to think of it, start encouraging him to start doing better things with his money other than to take you out.

Heavance:
Do you really think some people will listen to the clear points you made? These days, its how beautiful or big the church is, not how well we live and love one another as God wants.
They take the bible to church, but they will never read it to understand.

That is the tragedy of our time. Clearly, people could see that things are not right but they'll rather stick with lies because they want blessing from their pastors and not from God.
When Jesus Condemned the Pharisees and the Saducees who were, by right, the pastors and clergy of that time, if many of our religious youths were there, this is how they would have sided with the derailed men of God and even Condemn Jesus for speaking to "Daddy GOs and Mummy GOs" that way.
Truth is an enemy of the masses, they love liars.

Sibrah:
What do people mean by church profit? Who uses the profit and what for? Same Jesus commanded the establishment of the school and you & I know that tithes and offering aren't force down our throats. Tax is forced into the law and enforced by force yet you have taxpayers paying huge tuition fee and people don't complain. Truth is, devil is using people like you against the church.

Sir, I don't know if you're a bonafide member of any of the top Pentecostal Churches but I think you spoke out of ignorance or sheer joke. First, I am a strong member that have a mind of my own and refused to be mind-controlled into believing that everything they do is right and from God Cuz its not true. We obey the Law of men, as if its they law Of God.
Secondly, what kinda school Did Jesus ask them to build, if truly according to you, Jesus ask them to build school (dont quote what Jesus Didn't say sir)
Thirdly, about who they use the money for, the answer is square and simple; We dont know and that is the problem. As a worker in RCCG, I know for sure that money must leave each parishes and account must be made at provincial headquarters otherwise the pastor must be queried. I also know that every new parish is only allowed to not remit for only the first 6 months (when they've not even gotten any member) and thereafter all collections, except small percentage goes to provincial headquarters. I am also aware that most people in the church, without fear or favour, are poor. They only come to churches on Sundays with flashy cloths but beneath those shinning cloths is deep hunger. Lastly, Churches will rather build world-class auditoria than help its members. They will rather build schools that are nt affordable than train the children of their congregants in school. They'll buy private jets instead of empower the widows and when people cant come to church, they call it backsliding........
These are not what Jesus Was. Jesus Preached on the mountain and yet fed the people. He didn't build a four-wall auditorium but he built men and women into strong walls that cannot be penetrated. He helped the widows and said to his disciples:
"Do not carry two coats,,,,,or two sandals",
But these days, our men of God have trailer loads of coats, and ship-filled sandals.
This is not the Gospel Jesus Preached, that's why He Asked If He'll Meet Faith When He Comes Back. Jesus Understand What You Don't understand, and please don't doubt me when I say so.

When Jesus was about to Leave, He asked if he'll ever meet Faith in the world when He comes back. He didn't bother about meeting churches in His Second Coming because He Knew there would be abundance of auditoria, some 10Kilometer by 10 Kilometer.
To be more direct, our Churches have gone rogue. They build schools that congregants cant afford, their universities are simply out of the reach of even the middle class.
And when a person ask question, he or she is vilified and demonised.
We can chant hallelujah that the man is removed from office or that the law is suspended but are sure that God And Angels approve of how the church have become Business networks?

ShakaZullu:
add Amaechi parallel government and Elrufai Jonathanian army speech

shameless hypocrite dropshot

The minds of the youths have been so bent towards "us against them" that we fail to realise when a dangerous precedence is being set. Law was made for man, by man and not angels. It has process and the process must be honoured if we are to retain our sanity and dignity

Anago5000:
are you really an afonja sorry yorrubad?

I am proudly Yoruba, but I respect truth than I respect regional and divisional ethos.

DropShot:
It seems you're genuinely not aware of the facts of the matter.

1. Kanu upon arrest was first arraigned for illegal possession of firearms
2. While that case was being heard, another charge bothering on treasonable felony was slammed on him.
3. Truth he was granted bail on the first charge of illegal possession of firearms but he was promptly re-arrested for the charge of treasonable felony offense which is not bailable.
4. Till date, no court has granted him bail on the 2nd charge and no one will.

So, if you have any proof contrary to my submission, pls bring it forth.

Illegal possession of firearms was dismissed because he's licensed. I am not taking part in the whole process but Whenever a govt has a case with a person, all sorts of things surfaces, we've seen it b4....
I repeat again, if the court in its wisdom grants him bail, he should be released. All other narratives are story for the gods.......
What is the govt doing with the guys who doesn't only carry firearms but killed thousands of Nigerians in the name of Boko Haram?? Are they not said to be REHABILITATED??
Funny country.

DropShot:
Stop deceiving yourself. There is more than enough evidence to lock that animal up for life. His video and audio are many on YouTube to nail him.

Sir, I am not deceiving myself, I am saying what happens in Sane societies. He's been under lock since about a year now. Whether or not he's guilty is not my discretion, but since the law already granted him bail, Justice demands that he's released.
I know many will rush to talk about the court that denied him bail, and my question is:
"why is govt reluctant to obey the first order, but couldn't wait to enforce the second?".
You see, my brother, a true Justice doesn't descend into the arena.....by that, I mean, the law is not emotional or sensational. I hope you understand what that means.

Paretomaster:
and why should he be released?...pls goggle all his videos, and nonsense he was busy spewing on Radio Biafra...........

If people are supposed to be behind bar because of hate speeches and bare-face propaganda, as many as Lai Muhammad, Femi-Fani Kayode and Even Buhari should be in jail by now......but I guess its one stroke for one and another stroke for the other......

Those corners are filled with miry clay on hot days, you dont wanna be the one on duty when sweat and smell meet at the valley between.

He finally finds a wife but you're still single...........Poo head.

The first dignity of man is Justice. If the law is still dispassionate and unbiased, he should be released without further Ado.....
But when last was justice celebrated and elevated in Nigeria?? A long time ago, I guess.

"When a people realize their wealth of network, they will achieve milestone".
That said,
It is only fair to the church-goers and faithfuls to have a glimpse of what their monies are used for.........

When a people take the law of men as a or better than the Law of God, this is what you get.......
Ignorance Birthed by religious mind-control and mental servitude smell like bad odour both in the north and the south of our country.
Up north, it is absolutely poignant Lack of education and exposure, down south, it unfortunate Mumu-Syndrome in following business-men-in-suits called pastors like cattle to the slaughters.
Only when the youths of today, and those of the future come to the realization that God Is Not Confused.........
That's when we can begin to get things right......

Electrocution is not one of the inference here.
Apart from the Darkened Skin, other signs are that of pure murder. ......... Let the police investigate this deeply.
A guy that's smoked by high tension wouldn't still have such clean shirt on.........
May his soul find peace, but if he's a cable thief truly, peace is not an option.

A stitch in time...........

If we are not wise by now, and at these ages, when are we going to be wise?
This assertions show pure ignorance and lack of readiness to change this cuz:
"if u believe a lie, you have no truth in you".

Toks2008:
Not just confrontations and reactions but prejudice as many nairaland ladies see me as a potential bad guy for any lady and that is where they missed it totally...

I'm a no holds bar freelancer and the fact that I have never cheated on my lady does not mean I should deny that most guys cheat...too bad truth hurts..too bad.

Way to go brother. ...... Check out RELATIONSHIP IS BUSINESS, one of my books on Amazon Kindle.
