Reno is merely looking for his next meal ticket.

The PDP can sure do better than presenting an Atiku/Fayose joint ticket in 2019.

DKJaleel:
That was so easy for you, wasn't it? Think about this way, such a guy who has people questioning the source of his lavish lifestyle suddenly 'goes broke' and once again shows off what made you come to that conclusion that he's a scammer.

Let's assume he's a scammer, and you know scammers are one of the most intelligent people on this planet; and for him to get to the level he is says a lot. I'm sure he did that on purpose cos a intelligent and successful scammer will know better than making such a mistake of giving out something as delicate as an email address, a yahoomail for that matter and even his bank. Whatever it is that he's up to, you're the one getting played here...

Sometimes what people see as foolish is actually what's intelligent

It is thinking like this that lands the so called "most intelligent people on this planet" in jail.

Just one careless slip up and some of the world's greatest scam empires came crashing down like a pack of cards.

When a scam artist becomes so cocky as to make a public show of his ill-gotten wealth, it is only a matter of time before he ends up in jail.

Very good one by the OP.

MTN has always been about themselves ,t[b]hey re strictly in business with little care given to social corporate responsibility and ethics. [/b]They re simply very crooked in their dealings with Nigerians and they neither give a hoot nor care as far as the profit keeps rolling in,they ve been outed on some occasions, from telling us then that per second billing was not possible until GLO came to disprove that,and also other sharp practices like the one they engaged in and were caught just recently nd were fined nd made to pay thru their nose, they were also accused of giving the National Assembly members recharge cards raining from 15k to 25k every month, now y were they doing such a thing if they were clean?, they re simply haemorrhaging this country badly nd they re an economic terrorist and must be properly checked... .

That is not true. Apart from the oil majors, I doubt if there is any corporate entity that has done more in the area of CSR than MTN.

Please google "MTN Foundation" and see what the company has and is still doing in the area of CSR.

The company might be a lot of things but fact remains that their positives far outweigh the negatives.

Abeg what is status quo? Status quo is that senator Dino is a senator of the federal republic of Nigeria

Off course "status quo" is that Dino remains a Senator...a Senator, whose recall process has not being stopped by the court's ruling.

So what exactly was Senator Melaye celebrating on twitter

I was gonna say the same thing. Harvard, Tuck and Stanford do not run Executive MBAs.

Perhaps she got the institutions mixed up.

So according to this OP, the guy tried to overtake the SUV and I'm guessing the MOPOL, in James Bond style, jumped on the bonnet of the car to try and physically prevent him from overtaking the SUV because if he does, the SUV will catch fire abi

How can anyone watch this video and arrive at such a senseless conclusion that this motorist was beaten because he tried to overtake another vehicle

It is obvious even without being told, that this vehicle was probably stopped at a checkpoint, refused to stop and the MOPOL (who is just as foolish as the driver) decided to jump on the bonnet of the car thinking that will compel the driver to stop. The mumu driver refuses to stop until he is finally forced to, by the SUV and the policemen catch up and rain hell on the driver.

I do agree that the Police were quite heavy handed in dealing with the guy though.

Konyegwachie had a clear edge in this fight. In my opinion, he was robbed of the gold medal.

Even the ringside commentator had nothing but praise for Konyegwachie all through the fight. I am sure he was shocked to see the victory go to the American.

Covenant University is as it again and this time I am not keeping calm!

Please how can a school suspend final year students for not attending "Easter Youth Alive" program" for ONE year Where is that done? Is it on their curriculum? How many units does this program carry?

These students have barley two(2) or three (3) months to go before project defense and graduation, have exams coming up this week and the school wakes up and decides to suspend them for one (1) year? And what happens to the fees paid for the year? In this economic recession, parents should cough out close to a Million Naira again to pay fees

How many "churchy" schools have ever done this? None! Its only Covenant University! Is there no better punishment to give to these students than suspension for a WHOLE YEAR What culture are you trying to imbibe into these students? When they are suspended, will they go home and become better people? What are the lecturers and counselors in the school for? What are the various Bible studies or programs in the school for? Are they organized for just believers? Who did the church come for? Who did Jesus come for? Isn't it the sinners? What if after every sin we commit, our Almighty Father in Heaven decides to suspend us from this earth, where will we all be?

I should believe parents who take their children to such schools do so not just for academic purposes, but also for the spiritual aspect. Isn't that why they have a course titled "The Total Man?" Or what other reason is this course for, if not to build all students, particularly the erring ones to become better people? If not so, they should please enlighten us.

I think this time around, Covenant University has gone over board!

We will not keep silent again.

Please and please, we would appreciate if this is published. We have had enough of this!

I feel your pain but rules are rules.

If it is a rule that all students must attend all school activities and some students decide not to comply, then they should face the music.

I agree the punishment is a bit much for the offense but I'm sure if the affected students appeal for leniency through the right channel, it could be reviewed.

Starting a social media storm will not help much in this case.

when it comes to men of God Nigerians turn scholars
but if Na Babalawo tell them. make the run naked at midnight for an hour they will do 3 hours

That is expected. A man of God should hold himself up to extremely high standards.

"Not many [of you] should become teachers [serving in an official teaching capacity], my brothers and sisters, for you know that we [who are teachers] will be judged by a higher standard [because we have assumed greater accountability and more condemnation if we teach incorrectly]." [/b][b](James 3 vs 1 [AMP])

Apostle Suleiman 's faux pas on this matter is the kind of thing that happens when people begin to impose their own views and positions on the Bible in the name of "new revelations".

I just pray that his congregants undertake further study of the Bible for themselves rather than swallowing Pastor's message hook, line and sinker.

The apostle is right. We all know that David mum is Nitzevet but she was a prostitute that's why David was despite by brothers and his own father.

http://www.chabad.org/theJewishWoman/article_cdo/aid/280331/jewish/Nitzevet-Mother-of-David.htm

How could you have read that article and still arrived at the conclusion that David's mother was a prostitute??

Jacksonville:
Nigerians! Don't be too quick to cast your stones. Some hidden truths are known only through revelation. Take it or leave it.

It's normal ponder on this, as it isn't written where David's mum was a "harlot", but this is coming from a man of revelations. Some truths are revealed to those whom God trusts. It's left for the receiver to tell the world or not.


#Mytake

David's mother was no harlot. David considered himself conceived in iniquity because of the interesting circumstances of his birth. Please read his very interesting story by clicking on the link below:

http://www.chabad.org/theJewishWoman/article_cdo/aid/280331/jewish/Nitzevet-Mother-of-David.htm

Yes, David rose above adversity to attain great heights but Apostle Suleiman is not correct to call David's mother a harlot.

The human body cannot survive sleeping for 2 hours daily for 4 years.

The young man obviously worked very hard and kudos to him for that. But 2 hours of sleep for 4 years

Naaaah!

This list is just a clear reflection of why we are where we are as a people and as a country.

You will be shocked to learn that 90% of the people that subscribe to these channels are Nigerian youths...the so-called "leaders of tomorrow."

We spend premium time binging on comedies, comedians and nollywood. Then we begin to wonder how come we elect leaders like Dino Melaye and his ilk into office and criticise them heavily when they begin to do what they know best: comedy and play acting!!!

This is not me grandstanding or pontificating as I am also guilty of this foolishness. Just saying that we need to rethink our values if we are to ensure a better future for ourselves and generations to come.

According to multiple online reports,the house of a top APC chieftain Barrister Inuwa Abdulkadir North West Chairman of APC was destroyed by KASUPDA in Kaduna state.Unconfirmed reports say that Barrister Inuwa is a strong ally of Senator Shehu Sani.He also allegedly had a rift with Governor El-rufai.

Source: http://www.trezzyhelm.com/2017/04/governor-el-rufai-allegedly-demolishes.html

Methinks the journalist should be more interested in WHY the house was demolished rather than on the owner's political affiliations or who he has had a disagreement with.

Kai! This Tboss person is such a big baby! Such a great manipulator.

She knows how to twist situations to make it look like she is constantly the victim of some grand scheme by all of the housemates and Biggie to ensure she fails.

I hope she seeks professional help to deal with her insecurities when she gets out of the house.

As pretty as she is, she doesn't make it easy for anyone to like her at all.

I love my job, my Boss and my colleagues. As an Accountant, our job requires that we sit long hours on our computers updating the Companies expenditure and asset database. however, there is a challenge.

My department colleague is hardly on sit during working hours. he loves to leave to chat, socialize and even do personal runs during work. I have tried to help him severally by discussing (one-on-one) as par 'man to man', but no effect. He is simple and very intelligent but not focused because he is to playful. This has affected our department's output severally, as personally I discussed this matter with the HR, my own Boss and other familiar Bosses, but all seem not to be too concerned. They just sympathize. I love my work, we are well paid and really doing well as a company.

Please kindly advice me on what to do

You have done the right thing by informing your boss and the HR person.

Now leave the guy the heck alone, focus on your own job and stop helping him mind his business.

Below was my comment on an earlier thread on this same matter. It is a shame that the Nigerian Senate has allowed itself to be reduced to this crass level.


[b]"The role occupied by Professor Itse Sagay is not formally recognised by the constitution. He is at best a member of the President's "kitchen cabinet" who was appointed without any recourse to the legislature.

I doubt very much that the Senate has any legal right to invite him over a statement he can easily argue that he made in his personal capacity as a Nigerian citizen.

Like I said during the Hamidu Alli debacle, the Nigerian senate needs to pick its fight carefully. There is no need issuing ineffectual and pointless decrees and summons when it will only end up making itself look irrelevant in the scheme of things.

Itse Sagay might be a lot of things but one thing he has going for him is a deep knowledge of the Nigerian constitution both as a legal practitioner and a leading academic in that field. I can almost bet that he will be releasing a statement before the end of today trashing the senate's summon and upbraiding the hell out of them."[/b]

At this rate, the Senate will soon begin to invite Nigerians on Nairaland and Facebook for making disparaging comments against them.

That is what the Nigerian senate has been reduced to.

Has Saraki's senate even made any legislation this year beyond inviting this and inviting that?

Plus how come House of Representatives has a relatively cordial relationship with the Presidency while the Senate is ever ready to pick a fight with same at every turn of the way?

Really weird.

Tboss and Debbie Rise have successfully played the "victim" card it is now becoming irritating.

Meanwhile they also sit down together gossiping about all of the other housemates and mouthing off judgemental statements about each person's character.

It was their choice to separate themselves from the group just to give life to the false narrative that everyone hates them in the house.

Its a game and forming alliances is a plus.

Tboss and Debbie Rise have formed their own alliance so I see no reason for all of their finger pointing.

Madame Kemi Olunloyo is clearly suffering from delusions of grandeur.

Many are mad, but few are roaming.

So all of these Senators will receive "sitting allowance" today for sitting today to "walk out" the CGC from the chambers!!!

So when they get home today and their children ask them what they did in the Senate today, they will proudly say "Today, we walked the CGC out of the Senate chambers for refusing to wear his uniform. Then we asked him to return after one week.

linusbnn:
So when he goes to office,he wears plain cloth ba?

Yes he does.

linusbnn:
Mumu. The US Defence minister always put on his uniform. It is a right tin to associate with the body you are heading. Is it even right to place an ex-military man to head custom,what happened to ex-custom bosses?

Not true sir. The current US Secretary of Defense is James Mattis, a retired US Marine general.

He retired from the Marine Corp in 2013 and isn't required to wear a uniform.

psucc:
This man is becoming too much, if Senate will be Senate, he will not survive the next 24hrs

Unfortunately, there is nothing they can really do to him beyond recommending his removal to the executive (The President). I am sure if there was something more stringent they could do, they would have explored that option long before now. I could be wrong though. Perhaps some lawyers in the house can give us the position of the law on this matter.

I really wonder why they are wasting all the time chest beating and grandstanding when they cannot base their demand for the man to appear in uniform on any law.

The man has even challenged them to cite the law or regulation that states that he must appear in the senate in uniform or that he must wear a uniform to be able to do his job effectively. We are still waiting for the Senate to respond to that challenge.

So now that the man refused to appear today as demanded, what will the Senate do about it? Will they direct the IGP to arrest and produce him before them at a later date? Can the IGP arrest the serving head of a co-equal paramilitary agency like the NCS?

The senate needs to pick its fights carefully in my honest opinion.

This is a good one from the Senate.

Although I still do not understand the whole drama over wearing of uniform or not. That is totally unnecessary in my opinion. Invite the man and let him come and explain the thinking behind the obnoxious policy and get it over with. Even if he is going to appear in a dress!

This uniform drama is ongoing while Nigerians are already been hassled on the streets for customs duty payment. Even the police is now cashing in on the policy by using it to extort money from Nigerians at their numerous illegal checkpoints

felifeli:
Kindly stand before a mirror and say this to see how silly you will look.The board of directors of the company you work for, summons you, a mere manager, to a meeting with them and you reply with excuse that you already have a department meeting scheduled for the time and because wearing jeans has never disturbed your work , you will not come wearing a suit, even if you come at all. Clap for yourself and go tell your wife you will soon be looking for another job. The man is an arrogant buff-oon who like Buhari thinks he is in a military regime and has nothing but disdain for civilians. He should be relieved of the job.

You are simply comparing oranges to apples. The Senate is not the "board of directors" of the NCS. The NCS reports to the Executive through the instrumentality of the Ministry of Finance.

What the senate has is an "oversight" over the affairs of the NCS.

While I agree with you that the CGC has a bit of an air of arrogance about him, the Senate also need to get over themselves and rest this uniform matter because there is no law or regulation that says the man MUST appear before them in uniform.

Also on whether the man can turn down an invitation from the Senate asking for a rescheduling due to prior booked appointment, yes he can. It has happened many times before and the heavens did not fall. Based on hierachy, the only person that can summon the CGC at a moment's notice is the President.

In this situation, something needs to give so that they can have this all important discussion tht bothers on the welfare of Nigerians. The drama has to stop.

Enough of the grandstanding by the Senate already!!!

What does a uniform have to do with the CGC's ability to defend a newly introduced policy?

Well let us see what the Senate will do if the man does not show up tomorrow.
