I guess last it was for PDP campaign? If so, how does it concern BPP?

Falana is the next AG when PYO becomes PreZ

Even as a laymen, the NASS has powers to reject or even sacked any member of the executive.

Falana, Malami, Sagay are rather promoting executive rascality and impunity. Hope when the chips are down, they'll also identify with Buhari in failure of success of his government?

But Melaye is already celebrating that the Court urges status quo be maintained.

There's a mix up somewhere.

Click like if you'll NOT PAY share if you'll PAY. Me I'll not.

Physically, square peg in round hole.

which gospel artiste might that be?

Here's the complete lyrics of the song. It is always a thought provoking song and helps in self examination:

Fading away like the stars of the morning,
losing their light in the glorious sun -
thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling,
Only remembered by what we have done.
Refrain
Only remembered, only remembered,
only remembered by what we have done;
thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling,
only remembered by what we have done.
2
Shall we be missed though by others succeeded,
reaping the fields we in springtime have sown?
Yes, but the sowers may pass from their labours,
ever remembered by what they have done.
Refrain
3
Only the truth that in life we have spoken,
only the seed that on earth we have sown;
these shall pass onward when we are forgotten,
fruits of the harvest and what we have done.
Refrain
4
Oh, when the Saviour shall make up His Jewels,
when the bright crowns of rejoicing are won,
then shall His faithful and zealous disciples
all be remembered by what they have done.
Refrain

Now the ship is truly sinking and those who ought to save it are putting more weight on it.

No news. It was expected.

Who is the presidency

Abba Kyari and Mamman Daura

The answers lies in a mystery.

While the leaders are against, the followers are for.
Who wins?

And you feel somebody is clapping? When millions are losing that which they had before and govt across board unable to pay salaries and pensions, you're here deceiving yourself and making yourself a public nuisance.
Pls someone should tell Udoma that no one cares for their jobs because Lai's masquerade has not been seen for a long time now.

Whatever others will tell seemingly to correct that reply, I tell you that the guy gave the best honest reply.

The elites will try to galvanize that stand as they did with the Igbo Quit Notice but the cat has already been let out of the bag. He who have ears let him hear.

I swear Aregbe is truly shola.

In 1976 it was Operation Feed the Nation (OFN) and in 1979 shortly before the handing over it changes to Otta Farms Nigeria (OFN).

Obj knows what he stands to gain if these strange bedfellows continue

I can't wait till tomorrow comes!

The big question is: what is Nigeria doing or planning to mitigate the shock of this innovation on her economy and as well key in to make it useful in Nigeria?

We pay more than any nation but wrongly and largely not captured or remitted.

Do you ask how much our Police force and other security agents make each day on roadblock?

Do you know how much Nigerians pay on electricity bill each month for service they do not enjoyed?

Do you care to know how much of our oil is lifted and proceeds paid into leader's account?

Do you know how much Nigerians pay in telecom services as a top up for the leaders?

Do you know that some of our leaders make free calls paid for by the rest of us Nigerians?

We pay more than any nation!

I registered in 2013 and have not seen it. Tried tracking and the keep replying, Card not ready.

But I'll have to include it in my will for my great grandchildren.

Fading Away Like The Stars of the Morning.

Osinbajo should avoid Intl shuttle for now until things get shape. He may be overthrown any moment.

Imagine the aborted Coup!

Fashola has no business manning Works housing and Power Ministries. These ought to have been exclusive for Engrs.

However the harm had already been done that's why we're here today.

Though Ekweremadu could not hold his tongue but bares his mind, any objective mind who read through the process will agree with the DSP.

The process is too long and windy. There's no way it can be successfully done.

Truly these men are mad!

Ogbeh is only test running yam export to test Middle Belt only revenue earner in the next nation.

Another ploy to divert attention and entertain Nigerians while the budget remains unimplemented.

Why don't you start with the ones you wanted while sending a supplementary budget?

This is a typical case of a square peg in a round hole.

Fashola supposed be in the Ministry of Justice. How can a lawyer, bred in lies and twists, be given Works, Hosing and Power to head. Sha! the trouble continue till 2019

One president too many.

Last time it was a Ghanaian when a Nigerian tweeted that Kenya has Usain Bolt and Nigeria Anthony Joshua, what has Ghana? The Ghana guy was so rude but truthful that they have President.

Now it is Boko Haram.

@ olopa123

See promotion! I be confirm senior police officer, Asst Dep. Commissioner in charge of Nairaland.
Guy, it is one of the problem we encounter in the public/civil service.

But to be sincere, transfer is one of the norms in the service. Your refusal to proceed is tantamount to negligence and is viewed as a gross misconduct. Tell your Bros not to fear even if he is sent to Gwoza and Damboa. May the good Lord go with him.

Mcreloaded:
I hate to be the one to burst your bubble if you have been grinning from molar to molar, celebrating Pa Audu's "incredible feat" of exporting 72 tonnes of yam to the US and UK. I watched the report on AIT. Nicely packaged yam, in lovely cartons. I was tempted to celebrate Pa Audu for this achievement. Then I ran the numbers.

According to the May 2017 report by the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics, 1kg of yam goes for N256. This means that 72 tonnes of yam would have a street value of N18 million. Do the math. Forget that this is less than 50% of the volume of trade on a good day in Katsina Ala yam market every week. Anyway, the yam was well packed, and then freighted to the US and UK. Lets us assume than the packaging and freight cost N3 million (and it might be a lot more, given that yam is heavy). So we have about N15 million net worth of yam (18 - 3 = 15). Assuming we sell it at twice the price, we would make a profit of N15 million. Again, let us assume that we did not incur additional cost in the transaction. So, here is the summary: we exported 72 tonnes of yam, and made N15 million. Good business, good profit.

Now this is where I am going with this: if 72 tonnes of yam is processed to pharmaceutical grade starch, (PGS) (that is the major component of tablets and capsules), we will get about 9.7 tonnes of pure PGS. I am a pharmacist, I know. Depending on your source, pharmaceutical grade starch goes for anywhere from $20 - 40/kg in the international market. And you can google this up. Pa Audu's 72 tonnes of yam is therefore worth a princely N102 million if it was processed to PGS (assuming it is sold for $30/kg, just to be conservative). So, N18 million worth of yam, processed to N102 million, profit of about 84 million.

The question is, has Audu made N15 million or lost N84 million?

Imagine, for instance, that Benue State was interested in setting up a starch production plant in Katsina Ala. Would we need to export 72 tonnes of starch to make N15 million, instead of making 84 million? And this is a state that makes a pitiable IGR of N250 million per month. The same Benue produces arguably half of the oranges in the country but there is no single fruit juice making industry in the state. This is not about Benue.

Nigeria produces 50 million metric tonnes of cassava annually, 20% of world production according to FAO, but what do we do with it? We convert it to fufu and eat. Zero percent is processed to PGS or other value-added products. If only half of it is processed to PGS, we would be making N35 billion per annum in sales. Again, open Excel and do the math.

So we have Audu exporting yam, exporting jobs, loosing revenue and feeling cool. And we have Gov. Ortom in the background, loving the spotlight of this new enterprise, waiting for applause. He cannot see the opportunities and the waste. He cannot understand why IGR is only N250m/month. Then we have the federal government exporting crude, exporting jobs, messing us all up.

They we have us, eating 50 million metric tonnes of cassava, converting it to pooh when we can convert it to cash.

And we want to be called a developing country.

No! This is exceptional line of argument. I love it.

The Boko Haram crises has been designated NTBB. A code that bars media outfits from broadcasting events that has been so coded and it carries penalty for offenders. It is 'Not To Be Broadcast'.

And a man will unknowingly get into the snare of this parasite.

Call, uncall!

Continue playing with words!

Bros this is Nigeria and the Dino guy can say it a thousand times. That was a very dangerous mission Bello undertook.

In fact, the table will turn these few days.
