He is not a president, he is a gun dealer.

And for some Nigerians Buhari remains their biggest regret. Whatis different abeg. Your circitizens getting slaughtered by an ethnic militia whose members are predominantly from your tribe and no should speak the evil, haba. If American gun laws were domicilled in Nigeria today, the only one who will be scared will be Mr. President andhis cohorts, certainly not me nor Trump.

He is very right. Trump is worst, legalizing gun up and down still insist teachers and parent should have gun at home. New York Times should work on trump first before jumping on buhari. So far so good Buhari is winning and will keep winning

I am sure every soul in Benue wished he had a gun and a legal right to use it in self defence. Abeg sit down. The gun laws of America and constitution rights section predated any organised and constituted law enforcement agency even local ones thoughtless of national ones akin to the Nigerian Police Force established before independence, check out when the FBI was formed. Yet 58 years after independence we cannot even make a dent on crime through our so called Police Force. And when we do how many criminals are dealt with by our criminal justice system. So don't dare compare and don't dare criticise a system that is light years ahead.

It may interest you to know that though Trump is the most powerful man on earth with unimaginable and unrivalled tools at his disposal, he doesn't enjoy the liberties an average Nigerian leader has to use them. He cannot send his Army to massacre his people protesting for secession. So to whom is given absolute liberty is demanded absolute accountability. Buhari will be criticised and where necessary held accountable. Failure to do that will condemn this nation like the rest of Africa to perpetual desolation and misery. The one before him was criticised and lampooned for his inadequacies and failings. Who is Buhaŕi that cannot or should not be.

Hmm...yes indeed. The greatest conundrum of our time... 'are women sexual objects'. They say no, but I know of no woman who will take offence at being called 'sexy' at some point in her metamorphosis to grannyhood.

This lady in question acknowleges that fans tag her not for her acting skills but 'her beauty'. The question is:

Can the average lady today delineate the limits of beauty and appeal.

In summary, what is at play in the mind of a woman concerning her looks, her personality and the outside world.

Even nature slows you down with age because you are expected to be loaded with virtue. There is a stage you get in life when everything you do is thought out very, very carefully. Insurance companies will not touch such cases. They will not insure a Ferari bought by a fifteen year old even if he can afford the premium. It was highly unwise.

ultron12345:
FYI.....the Nigerian branch was highly profitable, that loss ur seeing there was from their South African subsidiary which covered up their profits in other countries.

By ur logic, they should rather close down the South African subsidiary and focus more on their Nigerian business....... cuz it seems Nigeria is a better place for business.

I know u are disappointed sir and won't like this news. I am so, so sorry.

There is no indication in the report to the fact that their Nigerian subsidiary was 'highly profitable' as you allege. They spoke of better margins due to cost cutting on alternative fuels. That is not necessarily profit when you have a large unsold inventory because infrastructure projects you anticipated did not materialise such as the Calabar 'superhighway' which within the catchment area of their Calabar plant.

Cement sales tie in closely with infrastructure. Engineering companies did not do well last year due to the poor economy. You don't expect material manufacturers and vendors to be insulated from that.

They will be more pained when they see/hear how the number of Boko Haram terrorists they fought and captured are being released with compensations by the government of the day!

Hmmm..... a very touchy subject in conflict resolution. Soldiers often donot take it lightly viewing the sacrifices of their collegues and themselves in vain. Politicians should always be conscious of this fact and make sure the military is always catered for intoto.

For this reason the former president of France, the great General DeGaulle was the subject of several assassination attempts by the OAS, a rebel group of former french soldiers who fought and died to keep Algeria a colony of France. They felt betrayed and wanted revenge when DeGaulle gave up the colony cheaply and without preconditions and to make matters worse gave up some of their collagues to local authotities to be tried for perceived crimes against the citizens during occupation.

As a family man you now wear that rubbish at home as a role model?

You can say that to men that have women an sex as their priorities.

My wife is a decent woman and wouldn't want me to go naked.

The average woman lives and dies for the love of nudity and is constantly conscious of the peversions of sexuality. Not satisfied with their own, they want men to join in. Religious leaders, scholars of repute, political heavyweights and women of influence. Successful, industrious, enterprising women.... none of whom are spared the desire to display their secret wares.

What are they investigating. He should be sacked immediately and handed over to the police. It is their job to investigate. Normal institutions with zero tolerance to demeaning, damaging scandals will act first and pay damages later if the perp is found not guilty. I hope they realise in this age of social media and global news this will cast doubt in all the certificates they issue from patrons both a home and abroad.

As usual Nigerians and OAU graduates will overlook this as a simple matter until someone somewhere uses these incidents to judge them and as a criteria in job, professional and academic interviews. That day will surely come sooner or later. There is no way my children will attend a government run educational institution. That will never happen.

Where is the person. This is just 12 months to the end. In sane societies there will be at least half a dozen candidates all out with their manifestos chasing the incumbent from pillar to post as credible alternatives. Here there is defeaning silence from the political class save ond or two wannabe kingmakers without a shred of credibility the INEC campaign timetable not withstanding. Look,aan alternative to Buhari will just be as ill prepared as the incumbent was in 2015 which will be twice as bad.

Let this government run the next term warts and all. It will amount to sheer madness to experiment yet again at such short interval. Nigeria simply cannot survive another gamble with unprepared leadership.

Christianity Etc › Re: Lady Sent Away From Church In Onitsha For Wearing This Dress (Photos) by Reference(m): 10:47pm On Apr 08, 2018

NoToPile:
People tend to forget that as much as the church is for sinners it is also a refuge for new converts, former backsliders, baby Christians etc.

When someone who had issues with lust repents, takes refuge in a church and begins to see that there really is no difference between women in the church and the world. He then falls into lust again right there in the church.

Hmm.... apparently correct but like most rhings in Christianity it appears contradictory to some teachings and acts of Jesus Christ Himself. That is why true Christianity is not religious legalism but a simple relationship between man and God. What the church did was anything but love. I do not think God Almighty will have been pleased. Jesus Christ died for all. We badly need the Holy Spirit to lead us in everyday decisions.

Then go to South West arrest OBJ you will start hearing Afenefere start releasing press statement through Yinka Odumakin like they are witch hunting OBJ because he's criticising the government.
Then arrest from South East the worst, you'll hear them say arrest past leaders from 1914. Oh! we are being treated like this because we are Biafras. We are marginalized APC is evil no road in South East as if PDP built one for us. Ohanaeze will shout as if Nigeria took away their wives. Just like in the case of Ike Ekweremandu accused of owning undeclared choice properties across the world to the CCB and Ohanaeze is backing him. The only tribe I know today that if you arrest their past leaders for corruption they will not go on protest are the Arewas like we have seen in the Dasuki case and other of their people being held.

And what if Buhari from the north is arrested for corruption, won't various Arewa groups not go up in arms. A series of criticisms by OBJ of his wanton misrule and they are baying for blood. Why mention Dasuki. Was he a past president or elected official.
Everyone except children know why Dasuki remains behind bars and court orders on his bail are not respected, vendetta and the amount of information that guy has on Mr. President himself. Buhari cannot move on them simply because they have him by the balls. Let him try it if he can.
