People BUILD relationships. What are you building. What are the materials, where is the blue print. Where are you going with this. Because you don't appear to be doing the things that turn girls to women. You are just hovering around the periphery hoping. Relationships are about two people coming together to fulfill an objective none of them could individually consumate. Find that and find everything you need to know about the man. Do girlfriend/boyfriend and learn nothing perhaps until its too late. If the boy was applying for a badly needed service, a job, visa or bank loan he would provide even his mother's maiden name. Position yourself like that. |

Can he do the works of Mandela? I think not and because Nigeria today is not South Africa of the 60's, 70's and 80's. There is no oppressor, no supremacist minority, no common adversity. We all are the beginning and end of our problems. We are the racists, the oppressors so no one can go to jail here. There are no heros in Nigeria. All we fight for here is money, comfort and pride and to oppress our fellow man. Even if Mandela reincarnated as a Nigerian which tribe will he be, which religion? North? South ? Boko Haram?, ND militant?, PDP? APC? ASUU? CLO? Me I don't know just as I don't know how to plant rice in a desert. |

Raxxye: What you are saying about CNPC is true. My friend got an offer there early last year, but refused it(even though he was jobless) because of the gruelling work condition he saw the staff pass through. He felt he might die within a month if he accepted the offer and stayed. Their site was in one riverine area in Ondo State. 3 months on and 12 days off. They eat their own food and drink their own water while at work. They pay their own transport when going on the 12 days off(to and fro), plus their terrible living condition while at work, plus lots of other ill-treatments! Those Chinese guys are devils!Then stay at home with mummy and let the devils build your infrastructure for you. Oh.

Godson32: Sorry for ill treatment but 48hrs a week is not bad,I work on site,we work 11hrs a day including saturday & sundays,total for the week is 77hrs,if u complained to the management they will tell u that if u resign,many people are waiting to take ur job...there is no work anywhere,although I pray for improve condition of work. Just take heart,hope for the best.I just don't get it. You work 48 hours a week. That is paltry. No wonder the networks are so bad. And I spend my weekends working and most public (government) holidays. Pally stop complaining. If you want to work less join the civil service but if you want more work start your own business and be the boss you dislike so much, even 24 hours a day, seven days a week won't be enough. This is a depressed economy, we don't make anything in this country. Why won't wages be low and hours long. |

tunshe: I need explanation pls!This comes up again and again. John says it clearly. "In the begining was the Word and the Word was 'with' God and the Word 'was' God." And later it says "the Word became flesh" that is became Jesus and the Word's mission was to save becoming Jesus Christ. The personality of Jesus is the Word of God just like anyone's words convey his or her personality whether spoken or written, casually or in authority. And where such a person's word carries ultimate power, ultimate authority then there is practically no difference simply because God designated Father CANNOT come down here. If I'm on the field and put a call through to my office my voice carries the same authority as my presence. My memos likewise. What God tells us is to accord the same respect to his voice calls and text messages to us. And that's just ONE OF THE REASONS we worship Jesus. Or haven't you seen a soldier saluting on the phone or house girl kneeling down when taking madam's call. 2 Likes |

Orlando Owoh: Have you asked yourself what these people do with their allocation? I served in an Ijaw community where I saw poverty occasioned mainly by the greed of some privileged ones who appropriated what the whole community is supposed to enjoy. The Niger Deltan of which I happen to be one, though Itsekiri, should start asking their leaders questions. Asari Dokubo has built a university and has chains of businesses and houses, who has asked him how he got the money. Tompolo has a maritime school. I was in Kiagbodo, Burutu LGA, Delta State, and I saw the structures of the university Edwin Kiagbodo Clark was erecting. How did he come about the money in his 80s?They are building SCHOOLS and you are asking where they got the money. SCHOOLS, SCHOOLS.??. What have, what are those who have/are controlling the oil wells and pumping billions out of the ground doing with theirs for over 50 years. If they had built those schools and opened those businesses will there be room for Edwin and Tompolo. If Shekhau opened a university tomorrow will you clap or criticise. Just who is failing here.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Privatize education and these will be over.[/quote]Good idea. I see a future educational spread involving private institutions (obviously for the rich), commercially funded ones (for and by big industry), then government funded ones (for those who just want paper, let my people go) and then those funded exclusively by foreign grants (for those who want free education and then flee the shores of Nigeria to work, pay taxes and develop other countries). All in a ratio of say 20:30:30:20% points. Government cannot fund our education alone. It is not responsible for our galloping population, cannot absorb all our graduates but loses massively from intellectual flight. The model we practice is unsustainable. New thinking is required. 220 billion a year is merely kicking the can down the road. In the early 90's the longest strikes took an average of 6weeks to resolve. Today we are witnessing 6 months. That's the only progress we appear to have made. 1 Like |

When Jonathan was elected I said the biggest benefit of the highest office going to the Niger-Delta was that agitations around power will shift to agitations within power when the aura around the highest office is demystified. It happened in the west with the AD/AC as the biggest headache to OBJ. It is happening again with Amaechi who is heads and shoulders above other opposition elements on issues that matter and strike at the very heart of the government. This scenario may be downright ugly but this is the only way our democracy will work. I will like to see more opposition from within the Delta and I want to see GEJ ride them so that the peoples there can 'UNDERSTAND' what governance can truly deliver and what is just pie in the sky. So that when other regions agitate particularly the minorities they would know the LIMITS of executive power in the centre. Those limitations will lead to better introspection and a search for home grown solutions to perceived national challenges. In time a councillor will command as much respect as Mr. President. |

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]It takes public flogging to make our leaders human.[/quote]This is the beauty of a working democracy where leaders are held tight by the fear of losing office. Because I will often say, no matter how good an individual or party professes to be, power corrupts. Adams will have walked away inspite of social media if not for what happened to Fashola/Ngige/APC and the weight of the PDP afterall some others have done and said worse. I just hope the governor continues to drive development despite this knowing that the very people he aims to improve will be his biggest challenge. Herein lies another myth. That we all want Nigeria to be like Switzerland. Sure. But no one is willing to get there. And the APC should get ready for more 'breeze opening fowls behind' moments. That's the price of leaving the comforts of opposition to leadership. Just imagine if Adams said this while in Aso Rock. Tut-tut. APC. The party is coming to an end. Welcome to the mud. P.S.
