Nice. Rail transport is the way to go. Now link is up with Apapa and Tincan, create a container yard at the Sagamu interchange and watch Apapa return to a habitation.

Wow...the end of an era. Such a great man. Mentored so many in business. Will surely be missed.

SammyJac:
Inasmuch as political platform still airs on Raypower FM the radio arm of Daar Communications Plc every week day, nothing will be missed. The political platform hosts now being led by AMAECHI ANAKWUE after the retirement of AUSTIN OKHIRIA are seasoned and consummated journalists cum analysts that can deliver any day and anytime.

Okhiria is gone to where?

A country that consumes its citizens. This is the country we have here, blaming the victims of robbery and rape to protect the identity and image of widely known social outlaws. The depths we have sunk to.

DonMoga:
WE NEED A HEALTHY PRESIDENT PLEASE

Both sets are equally as useless to a functioning country.

Jeezuzpick:
I'm sure measures like this must apply all over the world.

Anwar Saddat of Egypt was offed by a member of his own guard, so, it must make sense that some measures be put in place.

The guards must be ready to actually protect their principal, yet no gun must have rounds chambered (hence the ridiculous visual inspection).

A chambered round is the real danger as a guard can shoot in a split second. The noise made by ch7ambering a round will give a potential shooter away and his colleagues will tackle him before he can do any harm.

Everyone is just doing his job.

Oga. A chambered round will be visible if you slide open the breech block. You don't need to look into the barrel. Just ask all of them to remove their mags and 'coc.k' their rifles. Any chambered round will fall out. ... just for the cameras. ....

Anyway ceremonial guards the world over donot carry ammunition and in most cases those rifles are exhibition pieces with the working parts removed.

PS. Seun stop this crap. What is 'rooster' their rifles...

dumo1:
My friend he's the most powerful man on earth. Google it for 2018. Putin is No1, Trump is 2nd, Angela Merkel Is No3 and the list goes on.

Counter points. Don't run to google. What is google. Form your opinion and argue points. What is it. Military, economy, international relations...what makes him the most powerful. Just making noise up and down like a typical dictator.

dermmy:
He is the tough man the Russians need for now, he knows how to deal with the west and NATO expansionism.

Oga, NATO is at his doorstep in Georgia where they hsve tactical nuclear weapons and missile jamming systems despite Russia's angst. The Ukraine debacle caught NATO unawares but why has Russia not continued into other past soviet territories since then. Just last week European special forces were on exercise in urban warfare just to show Russia that even without NATO the whole of Europe is united against any further intimidation. Russia is isolating itself. It is the people I pity when it all comes down. History is replete with sad endings to dictatorship fueled isolationism. Even the Chinese are irritated.

CSTR1003:
Trump and XI have limits to their power. Their countries are more powerful than Russia but their own individual powers as President is limited.

Putin can order a nuclear strike unilaterally, Trump will need the permission of Congress to even think of that.

That does not make him stronger but weaker. Accountability is power. That is why American could put a strike on Assad inspite of Russian forces in Syria. Russia could not do jack in Iraq or Afghanistan despite their interests there because....you got it, American led allied forces occupy(ied) those regions and you dare not make a mistake of an accidental hit. A one man business can never be stronger than a PLC.

drakeli:
So you are not aware of the massive protest in Russia against Putin less than a week ago. Of course Russians complained.

Of course he doesn't know what power means. Power means influence, your ability to command resources, the most important of which is people. Putin has just a handful of friends most of which areburmt out dictators presiding over failed, divided countries. Against him is the fact that he is surrounded by countries he openly loathes which have pushed them into the hands of his adversaries making it possible for his adversaries to deploy resources right at his doorstep.

Xi is better, with the biggest population, economy and a lot of cash to burn but once more his ability to project power is constrained by the lack of true allies and idelogical friends save for a handful of african and east asian countries. Once again China shares boundaries with its worst adversaries in Japan, Korea and India.

The USA has a very unpopular president but as a country it has no rival for uts ability to command resources and project power. It has a vast array of alllies on all continents and has a neutral relatinship with its neighbours. Surely the leader of such a nation has far fewer headaches.

GraGra247:
This is easily the most powerful man on planet earth. And he's using that power to his full personal advantage. 4th term and nobody dares complain. Lolz

He is not the most powerful man on earth. Trump comes first, Xi comes second and Putin third. He is just the loudest and that covers for a lot of inadequacies.

... I am certain the gentlemen and ladies of the Press will be kept far, far, far away from him.

Are you around Iwofe too? It wasn't funny today. It was one kind of rain.

Hailstones....the upper atmosphere above Portharcourt must av been below zero....aircraft beware.

Malcolm101:
The Christian body must condemn the arrest of this pastor by all means.

Have you ever heard of an ordinary imam being arrested?

Today it's this man of God, tomorrow it might be yours, next it might be mine. Soon it becomes a norm.

Before you know it, while worshipping, the police walks in to tell you to lower your voices.

Forget the hate speech nonsense the police are using. We all know for a fact that there is no other police in the world that is as corrupt as the Nigerian police.

We must condemn this. Strongly.

An imam can never be arrested like this. The Muslim body in Nigeria has given many warnings, hate speeches and threats on different occasions. What happened? Who got arrested?

Hmmm...what do you call Sheikh El Zak...and his followers... slippery slope. Next are outspoken pastors of mega assemblies.... and a certain Bishop who doesn't like thus government one bit.

pressplay411:
I guess the Jews were right to have persecuted Christ then. Cos he preached hate speech against the Pharisees and Saducees.
Govt should learn to understand that some of their laws are there to make everyone punishable by law.
So preaching salvation for his congregation is hate-soeech?
Did he go to the meeting of the said Catholic women and start preaching against them?

Why not just arrest everyone on Nairaland and Social media for hate speech and religious intolerance then, who's more guilty??

I tell you it is a slippery slope. There are no winners here.

talk2percy:
Good one, these pastors should mind the way they talk

But when Madam O was arrested and incarcerated for maligning a certain pentecostal pastor, a lot of folks went up in ire. Why can't this church in question equally 'forgive and forget'. This is a slippery slope.

So Mr. Freezer qualiffes to be arrested because this is exactly what he says about some churches, pastors and their practices which some people agree with. I think this is a slippery slope, an ill wind that will do no good.

Money is good, I realized one thing in this life that if you want best girl or wife just try I mean put your best effort to make it in life first then you can select the right one you want, you will be happy, your wife will be happy and your kids too.God will grant everyone one of us here success and good things that follows life.

No sir. True happiness can only come when you overcome challenges, resist opposition and battle your way to the top. When this is done by a couple helping each other along the way, it seals relationships and brings happiness.

Happiness is not just by association, friendship or blood ties. Children, spouses or siblings of the wealthy are not necessarily happy. They are more likely going to be selfish, greedy and insatiable if they were not active participants in the success story. That is the truth of life and it explains why typical celebrity associations last as long as the time taken to sign the dotted lines. Like buying a stock at the top of its performance, it can only go down from thence.

He's a President in the making. Trust me.

Time to say goodbye Arsene.

Jman06:
Is it the telemundo loving mummy's girls that would be a better custodians of legacies

Most of those maids are better equipped to keep your legacies or project vision because they are usually sent out to interact with the real world. They also manage many aspects of their guardian's homes and that makes them better managers. All they need is just a little coaching by you as the man to handle whatever project you have. Having a degree is very different from being wise and knowing how to respond to situations. Many ladies just brandish different certificates but they ain't wise and don't know how to navigate through the storms of life.

I repeat again. If you go through the rigors of courtship, dance to the tunes of traditional wedding bands, buy an expensive suit, waste a pastor's precious saturday and feed five thousand men with two loafs and three fishes, all for food and fun alone out of the partner, then you head needs examination.

Wouldn't it be better, cheaper and timely to just post a job vacancy and employ the servant in ten minutes. Pally, you don't know the function of marraige at all. I mean at all.

Your maid cannot enable you attain your potentials neither can she be a custodian of legacy or project vision. Any man who seeks a partner for food and fun alone is quite frankly a waste of space on earth.

Football management is a terribly stressful job and a lot of them will have blood pressure problems. So sorry for him.

brodalokie:
When it comes to the commandments of God, my dear, your logic can not just explain it away... It is stated clear and near that a woman should not put on that which pertains to a man.
It doesn't matter whether it's a popular thing for women nowadays, it is wrong.
I would advice any woman who can't have it to convert into paganism to escape the law of christianity...

And who made the trouser the exclusive apparel of men. Did Jesus or Moses or Adam or Abraham wear trousers. In ancient times from pictures we see of Persians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and later arabs and Jews, none wore what we know as trosers today. They wore robes, tunics, saris and what we know today as skirts both long and short. So your reference to that passage cannot simply be the objects themselves but the intent. What the scriptures mean can be likened to what the military does in Nigeria todat when they forbid civilians from putting on the uniform. In that it is not the uniform in itself but the authority it projects that can be misconstrued. It can be used to make mischief. Once again, the sin is in the intent not in the apparel.

I challenge you once again what sin can you attribute to a woman who wears fatigues as a soldier into battle or coveralls in a factory floor. May wisdom guide you and boost your understanding. Christianity is not religion and Christ did not set us free to once more be held captive by the rules of men. Remember, cultures come and go, so the needs of men but the scriptures remain forever.

Madam Evangelist. No object without a soul is capable of sin. Trousers or pants (as the west calls them) are inanimate and nothing God has created was not made good. Madam, sin is all about man and the INTENT OF HIS SOUL. What he or she has IN MIND TO DO.

The first clothes were made by God to conceal the product of sin, unclothedness. It was a FUNCTIONAL creation to enable man continue the business God created him for. So it is the intent. Once clothes are not functional they become a problem created by the wearer. There are many situations that require women to wear trousers. From aspects of farming to military service, sports and industry, there are not many alternatives.

It is when the purpose, the intent of wearing the trousers is to comit sin then there is a problem, but this has nothing to do with the trouser but the wearer. In that regards any apparel worn whatsoever can be used to comit sin.

They truly look awful amd unhealthy. But that is a black african thing in general, we love size, starchy puddings and oil. All the things that kill you quickly.

maestroferddi:
I cant see the pointless point you are trying to make.

Coaches are hired to achieve results/goals.

If were to analyze what you wrote up there then you might have better keeping mum.

If ATM played utra-defensive, how does it aid your argument when Wenger had no answer to neutralize that game plan?

Should we be wasting our saliva here on ATM match day philosophy when we know football to be a contest/competition where foes are allowed to deployed any strategy that can bring victory?

Listen to Wenger's comments on Sky about Atletico. You know little about football. You go down to ten men early in a game away against an attacking team. What do you call that.

maestroferddi:
Oga stop misyarning...

Arsenal are a weak side while ATM are a well-drilled outfit.

Negativity has nothing to do with. If your team chooses to play senseless, futile and aimless possession football, then there is no point bleating about a savvy coach who sets up his side to be efficient and result-oriented.

The best corporate decision made this year to be the bid by Stan Kroenke to grow the balls to ask Arsene Wenger to take a walk...

Such an ineffectual coach... What is Welbeck, Iwobi, Xhaka, Cech, Mustaphi and other sub-par players still doing in Arsenal?

Ozil collects some 300,000 per week...if I may ask, for doing what?

Negativity is not a bad term in the context. It is an interchangeable term for ultra defensive tactics. Elevate your thinking before coming to a public forum like this.

dominique:
Arsenal just broke my heart, hope I'll be able to sleep tonight

In what way. With all due respect, Arsenal are nowhere near the level of Atletico. The Premiership cannot match Laliga. In Europe Atletico has been to two top finals as against Arsenal's one. And Atletico is second in their league as against Arsenal in sixth. What is the basis of comparison. Arsenal lacks class, form and capacity. Nobody puts his mind thoughtless of his heart on that which is obvious.

I said Amad can play like this for ten years. They just grind your energy, sap your will. They are the epitome of football negativity.

If Real and Amad go on to win the Champions league and Europa respectively, that will be very colourless for soccer as a sport.

LadyHeaven:
Arsenal needs a complete over haul, Lancaster, Mhiki, Abua only, rest can Bleep off, so lazy and comfortable, can't even give your ultimate best for once, Liverpool destroying teams against all odds, i am dissapointed

That was Wengers' legacy. Poor quality legs throughout the team. Always accusing other clubs of 'buying' trophies. The lack of investment has put Arsenal where it is today. It will take a couple of seasons for the new manager to right that but already I am hearing the new man will be given only 50 million. To buy what I may ask, a gardener or cook?
