Like the idea of an independent but non open ended fund for the families of the bereaved. For Atiku to give scholarships on his own is a good seed but may not be sustainable. The war still rages and the casualties are mounting withnot a creative strategy for ending a tough counter-insurgency conflict. The truth is that there will be many, many more scholarships to come.

10% easy say than done.
This is Lagos.

That is why fewer people succeed in life.... it is too hard for most.

Chukazu:
Is not about been better than ShopRite, having good facility is not the issue but can they beat ShopRite on price variance ?

When I say better, I mean prices. Their prices are better at the moment. So says folks who shop regularly, I don't shop. I have no cause to disbelieve those who do.

Yeah, heard about that place. Totally off the map and completely out of bounds to all external bodies since time immemorial. The government of India tried and failed to enter the place. Can't say if it is true but I understand the last envoy of civilisation they sent there was later spotted by a drone being barbecued over hot coals. Any territory in Asia not touched by the second world war must have something that must be avoided. The preacher knew he was on a suicide mission.

The very existence of life depends on personal liberties. Without laws there will be no sin. It is the making of laws that has brought these offenses and scattered the people, driving them to divisive destruction.

Let the people live the way they want.

Chukazu:
Can they really compete with ShopRite?

Better than Shoprite at the moment. And this is by folks who look st the bills carefully.

lonelydora:
Where is it located?

Trans-Amadi close to the brewery.

Big mall, big rip off. This December,
I've resolved to make my Christmas shopping at my neighborhood stores and friends shops.
The times are hard, let's help ourselves.

Those in Abuja know that NEXT is the most efficient place to shop. They out perform all other shops both bigger and smaller right now.

If your rent is more than 30% of your earnings then it is too much. I am a realtor and that's a professional advise.

Exactly. I will personally cap rent at 10% and even that must be because there is a strategic advantage living there that will half that rate within 3 years.

Too high and unsustainable. 25% on a non income generating expense is stagnation at best. Long term targets are unlikely to be met. If 25% goes to rent alone, what will transport, medicare, insurance, home management take all assuming you have deducted taxes and other statutory obligations. Can't see you having more than 25% left to move forward - investment and personal development. Fee on where to rest your head is too much.

Don't want to hear anything about Turkey.... watched the Khashoggi death video and it was blood curdling.... really bad.

planetx:
Someone should pls tell me how electing Atiku will prevent a scenario like this from occurring. Nigeria's problem is deeply structural and electing a new president will not make any difference.

I agree to.the second.part. Nigeria's problem is as structural as a mouse and cheese. Just change the whole setup instead of constantly condemning the mouse. Indeed change the game not the players.... said it before Mr. Buhari got elected that nothing will fundamentally change. So Nigerians.... how far...

Steal 1,000 naira and you will be dragged on the ground in handcuffs and leg irons.... steal 1,000,000 dollars and you catwalk to the court with hands in pocket, sunshades and police escorts like a rockstar.... and a wide smile...our criminal justice system needs urgent reform.

PDP and elite, super projects! They can't learn from APC's social investment programs targeting the ordinary man on the streets. Talk about Npower,trader moni,conditional cash transfer etc

No sir, the so called social programs we see today are equally useless because they donot empower overall, they enslave. The kind of social empowerment program Nigeria needs right now is one that will truly change the economic culture of Nigerians away from 'buying and selling essentially imported goods' to one of small scale industrial concerns manufacturing essential goods. Our productive sector is too weak, like a candle in the wind. Every premises today on every major street anywhere in unregulated Nigeria has a chain of lock up shops selling virtually the same thing from every corner of China. If this is what the government is putting its money into then it is a recipe for disaster. The viscious cycle of import dependency can never be broken.

With a proper carrot of social funding the government should dangle a stick to beat the stubborn Nigerian citizen towards its long term economic development plan. And what is this plan. Infrastructural development. Every economic decision government makes today should be geared towards building Nigeria's infrastructure and bringing it to global standards. So the first social investment program should be the comissioning of the youth to build the dams, roads, bridges, telecomm masts, water pipe lines, power pylons, distribution station. The next stage is to intervene in the industries and enterprises that will support the development of infrastructure. The next stage is to intervene in industries and businesses that will support the biggest Nigerian corporations with the objevtive of 100 percent local content. That is supporting Nigerians that will want to make the engines and seat belts for Innoson Motors or the machine tools for Dangote cement.

When you have this level and depth of social intervention massive jobs will be created and allied industries geared towards real production and export will arise. It is then a university degrees in specialties will have real meaning. I'm afraid giving a trader who sells Chinese noodles or Thailand rice ten thousand naira is not a serious way to combat the real malaise afflicting Nigeria, that is a highly unproductive economy.

For a people that essentially live on less than a dollar a day. These governors must be stark raving mad I'm sorry to say. Even with the best intentions the contractor is likely to come from Jamaica or East Timor so half the funds will lead to capital flight. Meanwhile his folks are essentially farmers and fishermen and if that 80 billion was part of his transport budget then fishing ports and rural roads to convey market produce will have paid of better. ... or for the life of me why not ask your colleagues in the South Govs forum to bring their own 80 billion and link all the South states from Cross River to Edo by rail so that for example granite abundantly sourced in Cross-River can cost N3,500 per ton round all the contributing states instead of the N9,000 is goes presently for due to choking logistics as a clear economic advantage.

Mental health or volence in the home should be taken seriously.
This alleged killer may have exbited some tendencies that would have helped prevent this. or may have been subjected to some extreme conditions that triggered this mess.
The moment you notice some abnormalities or violent tendency seek help!!! .

While exorcism could be a possible, Seeing a qualified psychologist remains the first option in my view.

That is exactly what I am saying. He died with all his children because he treated the situation with such levity. 'Oh yes it is mental illness', so she needs takes two tablets of sanity daily and everything will be alright afterall she is a woman. If he knew he was on death row I wonder what his actions will have been twenty seconds before his demise when she smashed up the car.... five minutes before his death when yet another round of strife broke out.... 12 hours earlier when he woke up to yet another dayin hell....six months before when his friends had given up on his family.... eight years before when he must have considered once if he had made a fatal mistake signing the dotted lines.... and on and on and he did nothing tangible to save his life and that of his kids till the very bitterest end.

Thousands and thousands of family people live like this, virtually on a powder keg or shall I say on a knife's edge waiting, hoping... but doing nothing concrete at all to save themselves..... God help them.

ajebuter:
The deceased lady probably suffered brain damage..

No sane woman can wipe out her own entire family, especially innocent children...

That is why mental certification is also necessary before marriage..

She is not 'a beast' abi. For men it is bestiality. For women it is mental instability or..... stress or .... hormones or.... whatever excuses ladies come up with. Madam, violence is violence. It has no excuses, it has no sexism, it just leaves humanity devastated and at a total loss. Just say no to all forms of intimidation and violence no matter who perpetuates it.

CRIMINALLY COLD DRINK

... straight out of the Robert Magruder play book. I tell you 'Cheaters' Nigerian franchise go sweet wella. Wonder why no one has syndicated yet.

.... China ruining the world. I think its time the world stands up and collectiveky says, 'NO MORE!!!'. Haba this is theft nau.

Abeg oh, let them wear their Hijab oh. It does not affect anyone who is not a moslem. They have a right to protest for theur civil liberties. It is not a private school. Americans generally donot wear uniforms to school. It does not affect them negatively whatsoever.

The black man and organisational discipline are like an earthworm and salt.....

Good one. Your wife will divorce you. Your children will disown you and you will grow old and miserable.... all for trying to ruin the destiny of another... less privileged. Good bye and good riddance.

Mr. Peter Obi, it is enough.... please. Let this run in be issue based for the benefit of Nigerians. Please speak the things that will help this country.

That is not the way to go Mr. Musa. A simple explanation will suffice, not a clapback in anger. I know emotions run high right now but what Nigerians needs now is solidarity and understanding not resentment. Understanding comes by explanation... by teaching. The chap will learn nothing from your point of view and will go away disappointed. You missed a chance to sow a seed of love in him. Not good enough.

opedaydydx9:
They dint have their sit belt on

No seat belt will have saved anyone in this crash.

But why not observe some decorum in presenting this image. This is not good. Condolences to his family at such a terrible time. So sad.

That is the summary of Nigeria. They are all in it for themselves. Didn't hear him say, 'oh I spent a hundred million to get Mr. President elected so that he can reform the laws governing...', education or healthcare or land use or agriculture or the environment or commerce and industry, no. It is so that he can get more snouts to the trough and more maggots to the corpse.... reprobate villains.

That is why I am averse to 'savings'. I cannot see money inhabiting any of my accounts for more than 48 hours. It just cannot happen. Savings is the other name for 'financial illiteracy'. Like the oil in an engine, it is meant to flow.

This is the kind of rubbish I totally do not like to hear. The kind of thing revolving round elements of this administration. The false narrative, the fake sainthood....

For heavens sake you were elected to better the lot of your people, not elected not to steal. That is a negative sentiment that profits no one. Are your people richer or poorer than when you met them sir. That is the barometer of public economic service. The desire to elect politicians of credibility and probity is simply the desire to have men and women who have no greed inherent in them but will focus on their tasks of delivering the dividends of democracy. If you are not stealing but mismanaging honestly it is equally useless to the electorate and tantamount to failure.

Politicians round the world get relected or dethroned at the polls based pn performance alone. When they steal they are removed midterm. So not stealing is of no electoral value in modern societies and vibrant democracies. Sorry sir, but electorates round the world are notoriously selfish. It is what affects them personally that matters to them.

So what did you do in Osun. They are not interested in what you did not do. The former they can feel, touch, smell and embrace in all its materialism. The latter I'm afraid is abstract and unverifiable. You may be telling the truth, you may be lying, who knows.

The team has not improved since the world cup. How long does this man need to impact this team.

YouareaBITCH:
I don't really understand why they really feel bitter towards Linda.
That lady is doing her job,she runs a gossip blog for crying out loud.
If you feel u are getting too exposed for ur evil, then do good things only.

Note:I'm not supporting her, I'm just says she's doing her work.

Which work is that. Work should be tangible, productive, uplifting of society, work should establish values, work should leave a legacy and work should be a heritage, that is passed down through the generations. Please, that is not work. It may be appealing and profitable but the great nations we know today were not built by these.

nero2face:
Buhari is not our problem, APC or PDP are not our problems either, We're our own problems, we're too divided, hatred has eaten deep into our lives, seriously Nigerians are not one, we better tell our selves the truth and fix our problems,

Then we need leadership that unifies. Leadership that is prepared to make the sacrifices of its own agenda for the greater good of the nation.... then we still haven't started...
