Because he's been overworking, God keep him for us

No, traditional is the most important because that is the requirement for a family releasing their daughter.
Followed by court, to fulfil government requirements.
Church wedding is the white man's version of our own traditional wedding so it not important

IamLEGEND1:
while the whole extravaganza of the white wedding is totally unnecessary and extremely superficial......... I think as a religious person, the needed form of wedding is the one ordained by a leader of ur own religion.....

Everybody has to do the registry wedding now obviously, but that is just to uphold ur end of the deal as a legal citizen of ur country.....which I have no problem with.

I think traditional wedding is the odd one out here.... relatives of the bride using that as a means to siphon as much money as they can from the groom and his kinsmen

Dasuki the joker, ECOWAS ko ECOLOS ni

All you blaming elrufai should not forget he has only been governor a few months, it will take time to get to all schools in the state. Fixing a rot is not done overnight. Even as far as Fashola went with Lagos schools, he didn't touch all in eight years.

The nation newspaper is vindicated

But they said BBOG was to bring down GEJ's government and that the kidnap was a scam and that BBPG disappeared after Buhari became president? Wailers what is the new story now?

Like I said, if she's good at marketing then no cause for alarm because the products work. As long as you make 100 point values every month it keeps you going, this is well stated in the starter pack but Nigerians don't read then they start shouting scam.

AnakinSkywalker:



GNLD is a no go area and returns are falsely and overtly over inflated and people are made promises that they have never ever received. Please show me someone (an ordinary person on the street) who made 2.6 million from GNLD. There are scams your UPLINE will never tell you. NEVER. BIG FAT SECRETS TO THE BUSINESS. They claim they have been around since 1958. Bullshit.
Their agents will tell you HOW THEIR MOTHER OR SISTER IS A LEVEL 1000 DIRECTOR AND IS EARNING 10 MILLION PER MONTH. THE THING IS THERE ARE NO FACTS TO PROVE THIS CLAIM. The organizers of this scheme know that only those at the top benefit most from the sales of the starter packs and the supplements. To get to the top is almost impossible. But they will give you stories aand instill hopes as to how so and so made it. How their family members made it. How you should browse online for the definition of Multi Level Marketing bla bla bla. It is all mere hopes and you will simply labour for people above to eat. The thing is when you want to pull out you will loose everything so it keeps you stuck. Hoping and praying. False hopes.

[b]THE GNLD SCHEME IS LINKED ON HOW MANY NEW DISTRIBUTORS. WHAT YOU ARE SELLING IN GNLD IS ''POSITION'' ON A HIERARCHY. FORGET THE SUPPLEMENTS. THE MAIN THING IS THE POSITION WHICH IS LIKE THE CARROT IN FRONT OF A HORSE.
IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY NEW PERSONS AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE, YOU WILL GAIN NOTHING. NOW THE TWIST IS THERE IS A LIMITED NUMBER OF PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER GET. IF YOU DONT SELL YOUR PRODUCTS QUICKLY YOU WILL MAKE NOTHING EITHER. IT IS LIMITED BY MANY FACTORS. EVENTUALLY YOU BECOME STUCK. THEY WILL TELL YOU HOW MADAM SO AND SO GOT 5 MILLION NAIRA ETC. THESE ARE NOT FACT YOU EVER EVER VERIFIED. YOU HEARD THEM AND BELIEVED. YOU GET ONE OR TWO PEOPLE (WHICH IS HARD IN NIGERIA TODAY) AND THAT IS IT. YOU TREK AND TREK AND BECOME A NUISANCE TO PEOPLE. NOT BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO MARKET.

THE FEW PEOPLE YOU HAVE GOT INTO GNLD IT IS THOSE AT THE TOP THAT ENJOY THE MONEY FROM THEIR SO CALLED STARTER KIT. WHY BECAUSE YOU GET ONE OR TWO PEOPLE SLOWLY AND SO DO OTHERS. WHEN YOU DO YOU PAY THEIR MONEY INTO GNLD ACCOUNT. YOU BENEFIT PRACTICALLY PEANUTS AND THOSE AT THE TOP ENJOY.

AT THE END, YOU ARE HOPING TO GO TO THE TOP WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE IT IS:

1. ALREADY SATURATED
2. DIFFICULT BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE LIMITED NUMBER OF PEOPLE YOU CAN BRING-DUE TO THIS GNLD MUST CONTINUE TO GET IN NEW RECRUITS SINCE THE OLD ONES HAVE HIT A DEAD END. THAT IS WHY THEY FIND NEW RECRUITS USING TRICK.MASKED SMS

I know I am not explaining it clearly as best as I understand it. This thing was taught to us in BANKING SCHOOL AMONG ST OTHER SCHEMES THAT ARE FRAUDULENT in design!!!
As a young banker, we were taught these tricks in banking school on Ponzi Schemes, money laundering, multi-level marketing, etc. How they work and why they will eventually fail!!! As a banker I saw youths work and toil for them with nothing to show but rejection and people running away whenever they came visiting because they were considered beggars.

These people capitalize on the gullible. You did not make it because it is a scam. Not because you are introverted. That is what you think. But it is not true. You highly probably would never have made it. Simple.

GNLD is not a scam, it is legit and your sister is in the right "net" only if she can market. If she's a good marketer then she will excel. Also she can do it part time and have other sources of income.

I was into GNLD around 2007, filled with so much opportunities but I'm an introvert and very bad at marketing, I realised this and pulled out.

Salvame:
please it's a matter of urgency,
my sister saw a vacancy and decided to try it out and lo and behold it was GNLD.They have succeeded in convincing her.based on what I have been reading here,I know it's a bad idea but I don't know how to convince her.please nairalanders,tell me about this gnld people so as to save my sister from danger.thank you

Chillext:
My friend sleeps and walk around naked in my house, even on the same bed. I told him I don't like it and he got upset..... Have I done wrong?.
We are both males

Your friend is gay

Joe4lv:
We live in sham believing we are one in this country.

I don't preach separation but I know that if you go to the north,you will be denied certain privileges cos you're from the south and same happens in other regions.

we should as a people,do this:
1. abolish state of origin
2. rotate presidency amongst all the regions or better still implement true federalism.
3. implement PIB

Trust me,the best way to bury Biafra is regionalism but I wonder why the Nigeria govt after saying the east has no natural resources and are ravaged by erosion still don't want regionalism. Bring regionalism and let those easterners suffer if you feel your claims are right.

I blame Gowon for dividing Nigeria into states from regions but Why didn't GEJ revert to regions? He had the best opportunity but blew it, even PIB. Thank God he succeeded with FOI

APC chieftain? What will the wailers say now?

I read my post again, 3 years ago yesterday and I marvel at how much I have moved on from secular music to other things. . But Like I said in the post that year, is Dbanj not finished?

One lie exposed, I actually saw the post where she said the deceased is her sister.

besides wgo said soldiers shot her? I really doubt

Nigeria has a long way to go

The news that Audu promised to return the money was false, unfortunately Audu is dead now. Like Dino said, all modern structures in Kogi was built by him

Heading says Bournvita, body says Milo. Are you aware they are two different brands from two different companies?

Uncleodi:
This has been an age long Puzzle for me. I am some one that like beverages a lot but I keep noticing that every where I have been and all the families I have visited, that the Milk always finish before the Milo.

Importance of Milk in Diet

Although milk from the cow is processed, it is not an engineered or fabricated food. It is about 87 percent water and 13 percent solids. The fat portion of the milk contains fat soluble vitamins. The solids other than fat include proteins, carbohydrates, water soluble vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients in milk help make it nature's most nearly perfect food.

Milk products contain high quality proteins. The whey proteins constitute about 18 percent of the protein content of milk. Casein, a protein found only in milk, contains all of the essential amino acids. It accounts for 82 percent of the total proteins in milk and is used as a standard for evaluating protein of other foods. Protein is needed to build and repair body tissues and to form antibodies which circulate in the blood and help fight infection.

Milk also contains the following nutrients: calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. The calcium found in milk is readily absorbed by the body. Phosphorus plays a role in calcium absorption and utilization. Phosphorus is needed in the proper ratio to calcium to form bone. Milk provides these two minerals in approximately the same ratio as found in bone. Milk is also a significant source of riboflavin (vitamin B2) which helps promote healthy skin and eyes, as well as vitamins A and D.

In adults, a calcium deficiency, along with other factors, may result in bone deterioration called osteoporosis. The recommendations for calcium are 1,000 milligrams for adults, 1,300 milligrams per day for adolescents, 500-800 milligrams per day for young children and 1,200 milligrams per day for adults over 51 years of age. One serving of milk has about 250 milligrams of calcium. It is difficult to obtain adequate calcium without milk and milk products in the diet. About 73 percent of the calcium available in the food supply is provided by milk and milk products. The following daily consumption of milk group foods is suggested by the government's U.S. Dietary Guidelines:

Children 1-8 years old, 2 servings
Children 9 years and older, 3 servings
Adults, 3 servings


Now, let's review the well marginalised / underutilised MILO.

Milo is a chocolate and malt powder that is mixed with hot or cold water or milk to produce a beverage popular in many parts of the world. Produced by Nestlé, Milo was originally developed by Thomas Mayne in Sydney, Australia in 1934. It is marketed and sold in many countries around the world.

Most commonly sold as a powder in a green tin, often depicting various sporting activities, Milo is available as a premixed beverage in some countries, and has been subsequently developed into a snack bar and breakfast cereal. Its composition and taste differ in some countries.
Milo contains 1,760 kJ (421 calories) in every 100 g of the powder, mostly from carbohydrates, mainly sugar. Carbohydrates can be used for energy by the body, which is the basis of Milo being marketed as an energy drink.

Milo dissolved in water has a Glycemic Index (GI) of 55, the same as Coca-Cola.
However, milk has a much lower GI of 30 - 33, so mixing a very small amount of Milo into a mug of milk yields an overall GI closer to 33, and mixing a large amount of Milo into a mug of milk will give a GI closer to 55.

Milo is high in calcium, iron and the vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12. Milo is advertised as containing "Actigen-E", but this is just Nestlé's trademarked name for the vitamins in the Milo recipe.

Milo contains some theobromine, a xanthine alkaloid similar to caffeine which is present in the cocoa used in the product; thus, like chocolate, it can become mildly addictive if consumed in quantities of more than 15 heaped teaspoons per day.



So, despite the high energy value of Milo, alot of people will still exhaust their Milk before the Milo maybe because it tastes better...

So what's ur take on this? Comments needed.

No reason?

that one is against PDP doesn't make him APC...

I can see some fashola men on that list but the wailers will try their best to convince us that Ambode is being used by Tinubu to get back at Fashola...lol

Every school is a business and business owners are in business for profit. If parents won't pay much then the teachers can't earn much. I worked in a school of about 1000 students and the school fees then was 54,000 but my pay was 35,000 gross and 20,000 for lesson at the end of each term (some deductions occur however). Only advantage was that salary was regular, always. I was a computer teacher o and a B.Sc holder.

Thanks

OBJ sold NITEL/MTEL not Jonathan.

It was reversed and GEJ (re)sold it to Chief Ayeni the Chairman of Skye bank who was one of those who donated billions of naira to his campaign. SKye has acquired Mainstreet bank, that too I feel should be probed.

INTRODUCTION
If I didn’t know better, I would have thought that in the light of the recent world happenings, that man has proven himself to be the beast talked about by Niccolo Machiavelli and Thomas Hobbes. I would have settled upon this stand because of the many stories of war, anarchy, commotion, fracas, destruction, havoc, pandemonium and violence that now characterize the human society. Living in today’s world, has become the survival of the strongest; the die-hard cause of the Islamic extremists; imperialism, neo-colonization, dominance of weaker nations; miscarriage of justice, war, fight for God and religion, political seizure of power and the abortion of democracy. And so for all of these, we import the guns, we make the bombs and are ready to pull the trigger at our fellow men whom we now consider as enemies and infidels making tears, pain and sorrow the daily bread of the human person. What is wrong with the world? To this question, a friend of mine once said, “the world has gone crazy.”

Lucky Dube in his lyrics of Crazy World makes clear that “…leaders start the warsevery time they want; some for their rights; some for fun and their own glory…” Thus, it’s more like man has canonized violence and war and have pronounced them as saints. Hence, with the canonization of violence around the world, what then is left of the image of nations? What growth can nations experience in the absence of peace and in the violation of human rights and freedom? The world at large ought to be one nation, believing in the ideals, ethics and values of brotherhood, love, peace, human fraternity and fellow feeling.

Against this backdrop, this write up attempts a call to consciousness on the danger of the consistent violent attacks that rocks the human family and what this family stands to lose and possibly become if she makes strife, bloodshed, enmity, violence and war permanent features of her existence. In addition, this treatise would discuss Nigeria’s share of violence while highlighting the need to move from violence to peace in Nigeria and in the world at large in order to make of the world a global brotherhood of peace and oneness.

THE DANGER OF CANONIZING VIOLENCE
I had read somewhere that violence slows down national, economic and social development but thanks to Wikipedia findings; I came to realize that violence has more devastating effects. Hence, while writing this article, I discovered that globally, violence, conflict and war take the lives of more than 1.6 million people annually. Wikipedia further related that in Africa, out of every 100,000 people each year, an estimated 60.9 die a violent death. In fact, Africa Check a project of the AFP foundation avers that in Nigeria an estimated 13,000 lives have been lost to the Boko Haram insurgency between July of 2009 and the first half of 2015 following killings from the Boko Haram insurgents as well as the Nigerian military,not mentioning the estimated 650 deaths that have occurred in the northeast and north central states as a result of the same menace since the inception of the new administration, following reports from the Agence France-Presse.

Moving a little farther from the African continent, statistics show that gunfire kills ten children a day in the United States. In fact, Dr. Richard Corlin, a onetime president of the American Medical Association posited that: “The United States leads the world—in the rate at which its children die from firearms.” He added that, “Gun violence is a threat to the public health of the United States.” It is important to make clear that for every single death due to violence, there are dozens of hospitalizations, hundreds of emergency department visits, and thousands of doctor’s appointments. It is equally without any iota of doubt that violence often leaves behind, lifelong consequences for its victim’s physical and mental health and social functioning. In the light of these unrewarding effects of violence around the world therefore, I think it’s time the world and particularly Nigeria took a break off violence for as the article captions, its puts a dent on nation building and destroys the beauty that lie in our humanity.

FROM VIOLENCE TO PEACE: The Better Part for Nigeria and the World
Over the years, especially with the Biafra saga, Nigerians have bottled up so much pent up resentment and hurt that requires the soothing balm of free speech and reconciliatory discussions. Hence, as a people of the Nigerian state, it is apt that we go back to the drawing board, to think anew, as well as act anew. As Nigerians, it is pertinent that we strive to re-sketch a proper image of our nation and what she stands for and seek to redress the ugly picture which violence, terrorism and insurgency has carved out for us. All over the world, men must begin to embrace the “We-intention” and ensure that it prevails over and above, the personal “I-intention.” Hence for sustainable peace in Nigeria, solidarity must transcend ethnic and religious ties.

CONCLUSION

To conclude this treatise therefore, Mahatma Gandhi once opined that “an eye for an eye will only make the world blind.” In addition, he writes, “I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.” It was against this backdrop that Uzoma Ahamefule wrote in his article titled How to Attain Peace and Security in Nigeria that “...for Nigeria to have the desired peace and security, her political and opinion leaders must be ready to accommodate different views and put into practice those progressive ones even when they may come as criticisms. They must be ready to pay the price because peace and security is like freedom, it has got price tags. Our leaders must be pragmatic and resolute in their decisions. They need to be focused with clear vision and robust approach. They need the political will and sincerity to fight the monster called corruption if there must be any hope of turning things around. Importantly too, traces of any form of ethnic favouritism, nepotism, and gender discrimination must be extinguished and replaced with national interests. In other words, patriotism and fairness should be the keywords towards national policies.”
