Watch out for increase in subscribers chargres by the same MTN. After each fine from NCC, MTN always increase tarrif on their subscribers.
NCC be on the alert. They do it systematically. Expect it somewhere around January-Fabuary next year.

Delta central. I just read on channels TV Dat tribunal dismissed LP petition. And it was held in asaba. Can u imagine, why will Okowa not manipulate it.

wow! On what grounds were their petition dismissed? I know LP did miserably in the gubernitorials. Ogboru's party and APC stand a slim chance at the tribunal. their chances are slim in upturning the PDP victory.
But come to think of it. our problem is not LP, PDP or APC. Our problems are not the political party divide or the tribe where the governor comes from.
Our problem is individual, ideology, mindset and believes.
The same folks, the same mindset make up all the parties. All these parties exist in order to share the loot. And when a group feels they didnt get enough from the loot, a new party is born with the same looting mindset.
Basically, we are very corrupt as a people. Look at our youths giving development a strangled hold in the name of "Deve".
With the current political setup, only the corrupt can get norminated and win elections.

Delta state is on a stand still. All past two administrations failed to bring in any meaningful investments and the likes of Shell called it quits.
The only thing the government did was to wake up the youths who are lazy, with no education or skill or the desire to aquire one. People who had killed their slow-running brain with Marijuana and liquor parade the streets with a false sense of entitlement with a "Deve" mentality.

Now despite the adornment of natural resources, delta state is viewed in negetivity by the investment community because the actions of these lazy, gun wielding youths have gone far. And a government whose mentality is just a step above the youths can not help.
So when you said you're ashamed of the current condition of the state, I could relate with that.
Okowa isnt quit the messiah and i dont see any in the pack. Do you?

jewelbaby55:
yes even if am ashamed of it. Am from delta

Hmmm! Ok. Lets take one at a time.
which part of the senatorial district are you from?
central, north or south?
seems you hold a largely negative perception about Delta state.

jewelbaby55:
you have no idea what Donald Trump is capable of saying. One of the reason why he and Clintons wife have been beefing each other with words. African needs to learn. Imagine Okowa building hospital in India. And he says he wants prosperity for all deltans. How?

Oh well i do know that Donald is quick and blunt with the mouth. I also know he is a nationalist. But even the most green horned political candidate in America isnt that daft to have thrown such a destructive remarks in the open. It would cost him his election. This is just pure fabrication. If Donald had said such a destructive, headline-commanding statement, then i would have seen it in major cooperate media.

But even at that, the fabricated lie said the truth about Africans and African-Americans.
Okowa building what? Are you from Delta state?

slyfoxxjoe:
What do u gain from telling silly lies like this? You think a front runner candidate for president of the United States would be stupid enough to say a thing like this in public? Post a more credible source than that 50 naira local blog u Have there..

You just nailed him. very silly post rveryone knows Donald couldnt possibly said that.
But wait , who sat down and think up this trash of a lie? Such an evil soul doesnt deserve peace. Possessed!

Some people by nature or some other reasons find taboos, oddities and immoralities as normal behaviour:

eg:
1) A girl
in a committed relationship sitting on another guys lap. And would defend to the death that there's nothing wrong with her action.

2) Very few women under 30 would agree that any cleavage revealing dress is indecent.

The fact is people have differnt level of morality. Some people are morally loosed than others. And if you check deeper into this people with less moral standards, they tend to be more carefree and their general conduct and their personal boundry is very porous.

Dont be surprised that this very dad in the pic and men like him would be less strict with enforcing parental control on some cable channel against his children. Or be particularly protective on the type of music his kids listen to. For men like this they see few or no dangers to society's fad and new fashion. They are the "carry go" and "nothing do you" type.

watts75:
I believe French Kiss like this caption below should be left to the Mother, kissing your daughter passionately like this is morally wrong.

Why not on the forehead or Chick?

Guys what do you say.

Op you're right. Even for a mother it is wrong. Look that the pic and realize the child should be around 5-7 years old.
Giving her a mouth kiss by either of her parents will linger into her adulthood and it might confuse her to mean a nornal way of showing affection to others outside her family.

Once a baby gets to 2years of age all mouth-to-mouth kiss from either parent should stop.

obum88:
The fact that you are black should tell you that your brain is not white. Since you are black forming white insult your father like they do and escape purple eye.



Gerrahia mehn!

I'm very proud of your reply.
Most inferior-minded Africans dont know they are morally and culturally superior to the white man who is a restless barbarian having no respect for GOD and morality.
He holds little or nothing sacred not even marriage or family or elders. His insatiable curiosity and lust for knowledge had turned him into a repugnant rabel.
These people lead in science and technology but people dont realize they've traded it with true moral and cultural values. There is an alarming rate of cultural decay in the West, lead by America. And its spreading fast in Africa through cable channels.

Read Through

Numbers 5 vs 20-23

20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband"--

21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse--"may the LORD cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell.

22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries." "'Then the woman is to say, "Amen. So be it."

23 "'The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water.

Which translation of the bible did you use that used the word "miscarry". That translation is false and misleading.

badexmuzter:
Hypocrites. All of u should shut ur gutters. NA is insisting on discipline. Civilians re indiscipline and hard to control. You have to use d iron hand to handle em

your statement potrays you as one with a primitive mindset that is a menance to civilized and enlightened society.

Is it the army's job to instil discipline on civilians in a peaceful and democratic society?

jaymichael:
Just one functional seaport you say? Is this bigotry or crass ignorance on display here? PH port is working. You cannot be in your bedroom and know which port is functional or not.

When i said "functional" the average reader could very easily know what i meant. I've worked in Bonny, Kolo creek, PH, Oporoma, etc and I know PH port like Warri port are having low activies.
There's nothing stopping the FG from dredging the port in PH and make it suitable for larger ships. Afterall, that was the port that served the British in eastern Nigeria.

Your oga at the top might have told you sweet garbage as to why ports in eastern nigeria dont function well -— even calabar port which is well suitable for export and import and you're spreading falsehood. Working in a shiping line gives you no authority on classified facts about the politics of Nigeria.

There have been pirate activities along lagos waterways.

It actually was during and after the civil war that all the ports and international airport in the east were discouraged from functioning in their original capacity for fear of weapon smuggling. Unfortunately the ghost of that policy still lingers several decades after.

And no government has reasoned beyond her anus to realize Nigeria is losing billions having just one major port.
The mother of all shame is that we even lose to Benin port.
The black man has proven to be his own worst enemy, never seeing beyond the scope of tribalism.

There are so many facts: even the steel plant that the British sited in the east because of the availability of iron in orji river axis. and coal in Enugu was moved to Aladja in delta state. Despite all the billions sunk into it , it failed to live.

These are few ills of the tribal military regimes that failed to diversify Nigeria's economy and locations.

Yeske2:
This evil has been there for some time but the clueless GEJ and equally clueless OBJ both from the south did nothing about it, so OP if you ask me, na who i go ask?

Yes blame Jonathan. But did you expect Obasanjo to have changed the status quo? It favours his region.

jaymichael:
The answer is just one, MILITANCY/PIRACY. Those Niger Delta waterways are not safe. Apart from threats of kidnapping, it is more expensive for the shipping companies and shipping agents to operate that route as they have to settle or pay "escort" money to each community they pass. The cost is then passed on to the consignees. Security (or lack of it) is a serious impediment to the optimal utilization of Portharcourt port.

I believe you were not born yesterday. How you came up with such BELIEVABLE LIE puts you up as a front runner for the post of spokeman for a government whose motto is falsehood and deceit.

Nigerdelta militancy and youth restiveness is relatively recent.
Its an open secret that politics is what kept a big country like Nigeria with just one functional port in lagos

Goodboiyy:
Now let's move down to SS... Igbos Alone in Warri is about 11% of our population, I know wat an saying, Am from There

to be continued

I cant be precise with other regions, but in Warri , Igbos are way , way more than 11% in Warri. They run almost neck and neck with the indegenous population.

Goodboiyy:
True Talk bro.. Hausa are less than 14million if a true Census is carried out.. I think Igbo is the largest ethnic Group in Nigeria Followed by Yoruba.. In Every State In Nigeria Igbo Constitute about 20%-30% Of that state Population ...

Wat your take on This ?

You just said the undiluted truth. Igbos are easily the most populous people in this country.

But that's not all - EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS!

galadima77:
By the power not vested on me by Seun, i hereby declare you confirmed olodo....

Lolz

When you add your political awareness and your humour, man you're one rare breed!

It is clear that the figures of Nigerias population is doctored to favour the north. Even a pre colonial British soldier who was part of the people that rigged the very first census made a well documented confession.

The Hausa and Fulani have never been found in other major cities in Nigeria in huge numbers except in their own homelands. The places in Nigeria that drives huge population are Lagos and Portharcourt and their nunbers are not sizeable compared to the two other large tribes.
Little wonder the Hausas and Fulanis are always very census conscious, from threatning to pull out of the censors if tribes , state of origin and religion are included and ganging up against the past chairman of the census commision.

Funny how Kano be compared to Lagos the most important city in Africa. Kano should be compared to Warri in terms of population. The then Lagos government was smart to reject the result of such laughable census and conducted her own.
Even Gen Babangida regime conducted a 1990 population censors where the nunber of males where higher than female! I think the UN rejected it.

The large desert-infested region up north are number thieves. They arent that many in numbers.

You can hate me if you must but the truth needs some front roll

After a long wait, President Muhammadu Buhari finally submitted the list of his cabinet to the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly.

The president has been at the receiving end of harsh criticisms by angry Nigerians over his ‘deliberate’ refusal to unveil his ministers three months after assuming office.

The president had anchored the reason for the delay on the ground that he needed time to select those who were credible and trustworthy to run the affairs of the nation with him.

DAILY POST reports that the list, which was submitted to the senate president, Bukola Saraki yesterday by Buhari’s Special Adviser on National Assembly Matters, Itan Enang would be officially made public at the next plenary on Tuesday.

However, report has it that among those penned down for ministerial appointments were, immediate past governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola, former Ekiti State governor, Kayode Fayemi, former lawmaker, Chris Ngige and erstwhile governor of old Anambra State, Ogbonaya Onu, among others.

However, sources told DAILY POST that Chris Ngige’s name came in at the eleventh hour.

According to a top presidency source, President Buhari, who has been constantly accused of marginalizing Ndigbo over their refusal to support him during the election, didn’t have it in mind to appoint Ngige.

The source told DAILY POST that Ngige’s appointment was done to mainly compensate Ndigbo.

“Ngige was not part of the first list of people compiled, I can tell you that. His name came at the eleventh hour. The president had a change of mind because of the complaints in many quarters that he was punishing the south east region because of their refusal to vote for him during the election.

“It took the intervention of some close associates and aides for the appointment of Ngige.”

Asked if president Buhari was truly angry with the south easterners because of the outcome of the election, the source said the president had nothing against them.

“See, that notion is wrong. The good thing is that Buhari has won the election and that is it. Where the vote came from is not the main issue now. Remember, he said he belongs to nobody and belongs to everybody,” the source added.


http://dailypost.ng/2015/10/01/ministerial-list-how-buharis-last-minute-change-favoured-ngige/

Lalasticlala

So how did Ngige being norminated for minister be compasation for Igbos since Ngige will be representing Anambra slot in the ministerial appointment?

You should go back to your lords and ask them to arm you with a sellable propangada and deceit.
This one is quite dumb and cheap. It just wont sell.

fratermathy:
Issorai. A good morning this morning to you my well travelled virtual acquaintance.

A blessed morning to you.

fratermathy:
@Bolded: you just got me reeling.


Anyway, when I say Niger Delta, I'm referring to the Geographical Niger Delta region which houses the Ijaws, Itsekiris, Urhobo, Kalabari. I do not mean the cultural and sociopolitical Niger Delta.

Meanwhile, the ANIOMA nation is sociopolitically a Niger Deltan nation just like the Ikwerres and Andonis but they are not in geographical proximity with the Niger Delta.

You're really poorly travelled. To the average Urhobo man, the niger delta region doesnt go beyond the handful ethnicities you just mentioned. That's very naive and insulting.

Geographical niger delta covers a large part of Ukwani, Ndokwa, Ikwerre, Diobu , Ahoada, Emoha. And these people have a very different culture from yours.
My line of work has taken me to diverse places of the niger delta.

If the Ikwerres who have there mouth pointing to the sea in PH are not geographically niger delta to you, how then is Abraka, Eku, Orogun etc niger delta?
That's why i said earlier that you are unbearably Urhoboic.
You didnt even include Akwa Ibom and Cross River which have pure niger delta towns in their states.
I doubt if you truely understand the geographical term "Delta".

fratermathy:
Anioma people, except for Ndokwa nation, have nothing in common with the people of the Niger Delta other than proximity. The Anioma stock has its own culture and are in no way similar to those of the Urhobo, Isoko or Izon. I guess that's why the op didn't include it. That's not to say Anioma culture is inferior though. Just that they have more ties with the Igboid culture than the Edoid stock.

Your comment suggests that itsekiri , Urhobos and Ijaws are the ONLY culture in Niger Delta. And that the Ndokwa nation comprises just Obiaruko and Kwale.

well, how well travelled are you? How vast is your knowledge in the diverse cultures of all the ethnicities of the people of niger delta?
The largest group of people in the niger delta are the igbo speaking people. And the anioma culture is similar to the Ikwerres, Ndonis, Amoku, Etches, Ahoada etc.

I dont know you but there's something unbearablly urhoboic about you.

aleem50:
You be fake deltan then,that ur aniocha north go follow biafra whenever u guys are ready.

And you're who?

You sound politically and culturally shallow.
Delta is only a political term birthed only recently in 1991. The term does not describe the various indigenous people that make up the state,
who each have their distinctive roots and identity.

For whatever strange reason,, it seems hard for some individuals to swallow the truth that igbos are indigenous to Delta state. Well, unfortunately NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT.

Going political; My darling naija will never breakup. So much brighter days ahead.( whether the pessimists believe it or not)
But in the eventuality of a breakup, just so to speak; my people would be well adviced to move with their eastern kin.

It would be foolish and suicidal staying put when our brothers in the east are gone. With our names and culture identical , we would be brutally marginalized by whatever is left of Nigeria.
Ask my brothers, the Igbankes who were eroneously placed in Edo state by an insensitive military regime what they're suffering in Edo state.



***Modified: I just saw a post of yours identifying yourself as a Yoruba boy.

What in the devil impels you, a complete outsider sticking your nose into what is entirely no business of yours? How dare you? You offshoot of a jealous seed!

Little did you and your lot realize that when you make the Igbos the centre of your problems, you expose yourselves as a miserable, pathetic bunch, itching all over with envy!

dhc:
I am from Delta State.I am not Igbo.Period!!I am unbelievably grateful to God for not making me part of such a manipulative tribe like the Igbo one.I might have committed suicide a long time ago lol.

Proudly deltan of an Igbo stuck from Aniocha north local govt.
So who am I? I am proudly Igbo!
A people most enterprising!

Good riddance bro!

You definitely are a kid and an abuse to the internet @OP

Toks2008:
Interesting.


Just that most times the steps you teach the young ones will usuallky be used to dance with another.

I was 27 when i met my ex at 19 but all the 11 years we were together i realized that she was always wondering how the outside world looks like and before we parted 2years ago she was saying stuffs like she feels caged all her life that she has no life outside our affair having spent all her life wth me bla bla so she eventually left.

Now tell me if i happen to meet her in her late 20s after she must have had experience will she utter such words?

i have come to realize that only experience can shape us and this is why these age group are usually calmer,wiser and ready to settle down.

From your topic i realised you wrote from personal experience, but reading this shed more light that you indeed wrote from personal bias.

Dating a 19 year old girl at 27 isnt much of a standard obtainable in this day and age.

Her mind was prone to wander considering the huge age gap between you both. She defnitely would wonder what dating someone around 22-24 would feel like. Esp if she's the wandering type.

So from your own exprience you prefere older women? Well different strokes for different folks.
while it is true age can bring maturity to women, this is relative. It mainly depends on the kind of person they are and their background. Some ladies who are in their 30s stil feel they've not had enough of the world.

I wonder how many fertile days are left in a woman in her early 30s. and just what she had traded to gain the "tainted experience" you clamour for.

GstringAngela:
No
he is an Osu Ibo

very unfortunate of you.

I sincerly doubt your dream has to do with abundance.

I believe your dream has to do with your family. There may be areas in their lives dat is open to attacks from the enemy.
and its on you to do something about it hence you got the revelation.

You better stay away from your husband's cousin or else you want to bring curses on yourself.

Outside of your husband's cousin, adultery is not an option for you.
so try and get your husband talking to know what his problem is.

clevvermind:
someone asked me this question and i decided to forward it to the believers here cos i don't really have much idea about it.

so, what is your take on this?

Cc: lalasticlala, ishilove

Be certain that gamling is sin. It falls under the sin of greed.
You musn't wait until you see a sin mentioned in the bible in black & white before recognizing it as sin. Masturbation is not mentioned in the bible, but it falls under the sin of lust.
Gambling is greed. The owner of a gambling firm only profit when stakers lose. And stakers get paid if win from the money other stakers lost.
you dont have to be a christian to realize gambling is wrong. A healthy moral mind knows.
