This is one of the best thing that will happen to Nigeria. This law will allow everybody in the political space to become accountable in the 774 LGAs Nationwide.

This is fantastic, as long as the environment impact assessment was carried out, because the people living around the factory are crying about harzardous air pollution

He still dey fat with pot belly, on the wrong side and bragging. Your problem is much. The system will not release you. Just plead guilty, you have stayed too long in Detention.

GEJ is the best president before BAT

Extraordinary. The king of camouflag, Gaboon Viper. A very difficult to spot on the forest floor. They dont climb, and they ambush their prey. This one has been feeding fat. Massive. One should not kill snakes, because they dont disturb humans, and they eat rats and other rodents that cause lassa fever.

Very unfortunate speech, lacking proper research. Is she aware there are people who have second or third homes abroad and still make their day-to-day money from Nigeria? Everyone over 40 years have specific reasons for going abroad. It could be children's education, better quality of life, safety, name it. She needs to do her research well.

enjoy lassa fever

You have to let it go. The mother will find it at Night. They always die in captivity.
You cannot eat an owl. You will always have nightmares. If you kill it , it will bring series of bad luck into your life.!!!
You have been warned!!!

Is it overwork? or is it alcohol?

Getting sacked is actually a very good thing for somebody who has a glorious destiny. If you have an enteprenueral spirit, you should be very happy when you get sacked. I was working for a company that was going nowhere, and when i raised strategic plans on how to move the company forward, because i was an executive, the owner will say it is ok in front of me, but actually do nothing about the suggestion. It was when we got a big loan of over N 1 Billion, and the money was diverted from the company that i realised i had wasted 4 years with the company going nowhere. i did not care any longer, and it became obvious that i had lost interest, and then got fired, just before i could drop my resignation letter. Already, international organizations in Nigeria approached me to work for them, and i took up their offer.
Lo and behold, the monthly salary of the new offer was equal to one year salary from my previous job. i entered into a new level.
When i look back i was very grateful to God for using my previous boss to push me into the destiny i did not know was waiting for me. It was a way that God had to get me into the destiny he had already prepared for me.
So, anytime you get sacked, always have a positive attitude, and rejoice. This does not apply to those who get fired for wrong-doing pls!!.

Rest now. Let us all build Nigeria together!!

Are you are!!!

Pls we don't need this story.

Don't burn banks

My Friend! will you keep quiet!!

Suffer more small. Good times are on the way.

I wish the governor speedy recovery. But he is still looking very ill. it is best he resigns, to look after his health. Public office is not a place to stay till death.

Lack of jurisdiction in Akure high court- smart move to isolate the deputy. Then the Abuja High court will rule that it does not have jurisdiction. so what next. But this is not new in Ondo state. Remember Omoboriowo and Pa Ajasin? They killed themselves, they burnt there houses and destryed their properties. Many Illustrious sons of ondo where murdered in broad daylight. many women were turned to widows, Many children became fatherless.
They should allow peace to reign on Ondo state.

This is what AI ChatGPT said will happen to Nigeria if this matter is not handled properly:

If Nigeria's president were to be accused of forging a university degree from Chicago State University, the implications for Nigeria would depend on how the accusations are investigated, verified, and addressed. Here are some potential implications:

Legal Consequences:

Investigation: Accusations of forging a university degree would likely lead to investigations by law enforcement agencies and relevant authorities to determine the veracity of the claims.
Potential Criminal Charges: If evidence of forgery is found, the president could face criminal charges, which may lead to legal proceedings and potential penalties, including imprisonment.
Political Impact:

Loss of Credibility: Such accusations can erode public trust and confidence in the president, the government, and the ruling party.
Opposition Demands: Opposition parties and civil society groups may demand investigations, accountability, and possibly the president's resignation.
Social Unrest:

Protests and Demonstrations: Accusations of forgery could lead to public protests, demonstrations, and social unrest as citizens express their dissatisfaction and demand accountability.
Polarization: The issue could further polarize Nigerian society along political and ethnic lines, potentially leading to divisions and conflicts.
International Reputation:

Diplomatic Impact: Nigeria's international reputation may suffer, affecting its diplomatic relations and standing in the international community.
Economic Consequences: Foreign investors and international partners may become cautious, impacting foreign direct investment and economic cooperation.
Rule of Law:

Rule of Law and Accountability: The case would test the strength of Nigeria's institutions, including its judiciary, in upholding the rule of law and ensuring accountability at the highest levels of government.
Institutional Integrity: The credibility of institutions responsible for verifying qualifications, conducting investigations, and upholding the law may be on the line.
Economic Stability:

Economic Impact: Political instability and uncertainty can have adverse effects on the Nigerian economy, potentially leading to decreased investor confidence and economic slowdown.
Public Perception:

Trust in Leadership: Accusations of forgery can contribute to a loss of trust in political leadership, making it more challenging for the government to implement policies and gain public support.

It's important to note that the specific implications would depend on various factors, including the strength of Nigeria's institutions, the level of public awareness and engagement, the credibility of the evidence presented, and how the government and legal system handle the accusations. Additionally, the political, social, and economic consequences could vary depending on the reactions of different stakeholders within Nigeria and internationally. The situation would require a thorough, transparent, and credible investigation to determine the truth and uphold the rule of law.


If there is no effective rule of law in a country, the implications of accusations of forgery against a sitting president can be even more complex and troubling. In such a scenario, the absence of a robust legal framework and functioning institutions can exacerbate the situation in several ways:

Impunity:

Lack of Accountability: Without a functioning rule of law, there may be little to no accountability for government officials, including the president, for their actions, including accusations of forgery.
Political Instability:

Potential for Violence: Accusations against the president may lead to political instability, protests, and potentially even violence if citizens believe that traditional legal avenues for addressing such issues are unavailable.
Suppression of Dissent:

Repression: In countries without a rule of law, governments often resort to repressive measures to suppress dissent and opposition voices, making it difficult for citizens to voice their concerns or demand accountability.
International Isolation:

Diplomatic Consequences: International condemnation and isolation may occur, with other countries and international organizations expressing concern about the situation and potentially imposing sanctions or restrictions.
Economic Downturn:

Economic Uncertainty: Political instability and a lack of rule of law can deter foreign investments and negatively impact economic growth, potentially leading to economic downturns and hardships for citizens.
Further Erosion of Trust:

Public Distrust: The lack of accountability and transparency can further erode public trust in the government and its leaders, leading to a breakdown in social cohesion and governance.
Potential for Strongman Rule:

Autocratic Tendencies: In situations where there is no rule of law, leaders may consolidate power and resort to autocratic measures to maintain their hold on power, potentially exacerbating governance issues.

When they say repent and be born again, you refuse and continued watching porn!!!!!!

it is not enough that two men are sleeping with you at the same time, you are already possessed by the devils in these men.

Give your life to Jesus, and allow the blood of Jesus to cleanse your dirty mind!!!!

Only Jesus can save you all now, because the devil has got you where he wants you to be- Behind bars!!!!!

And so What?? Brothers fight all the time. Not a big deal at all.

Beautiful country with crazy demented people. How many mass shootings this year again?

312 Mass shootings between January 1 and today.

PO supporter have A LOT OF WORK TO DO. ELECTIONS ARE NOT WON BY ONLINE ACTIVITIES. ELECTIONS ARE WON AT STREET LEVEL.

The turn out at this time is very low and very disappointing, for all the hype. where are the filled stadium photos??

PO supporter should get to work ASAP on the street.

Nothing really special on this route except for the fact that the ticket can be very expensive on the day of the flight. Once paid #105k for a seat., At another time #37 k when booked in advance. Overall, the popularity of the route is growing fast.

Totally wrong.

Why kill a rock python? These snakes are needed to balance the ecosystem. We humans are not I their food chain. Why are we eating snakes?

I guess everybody is hungry in this country now. Nothing is off the table.

How are they from Mali? There is more to this massacre. Maybe some people say you are pro southern president and they want the status quo.

They are out to embarrass you? By killing do many?

Only God will Judge all those behind this dastardly and coward act.

Lucky both of you. It is a juvenile. Green mamba is a very deadly snake, one bite and you are gone.

It is best to leave snakes alone as they do not attack humans, unless they are cornered.

I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Psalm 41:4 KJV


You soul is wounded, and held in Captivity.
Only God can heal your soul because sleeping with another woman will not stop you from your masturbation.

Let Jesus set you free. Cry out to God, and He will heal you.

What you will first notice after Jesus touch you is that you have no appetite for Masturbation anymore, even the thought disappears from your mind.

The things that trigger the urge to masturbate, also will no longer have effect on your soul.

But you have to abide with Jesus Christ.

Wishing you swift recovery.

Big pay day is here. Happy for you.
