JidennaJason:
Another clear example to tell you that the northerners are always in a "REVERSE MODE"

They see Akpata as a threat to their "Shari'a" type of law.

It would be difficult for us to move forward as a nation when we have this backward thinking people at the helms of affair.

Akpata wasn't NBA President when the decision was taken to invite El-Rufai as a speaker. He also wasn't President when that decision was reversed. Akpata is trying to calm a storm left for him by his predecessor.

Don't make comments like "northerners are always in REVERSE MODE" or refer to northerners as "backward thinking people" else you are no better than or different from the people you speak against. They have their religion and culture as much as you have yours.

A lot of northern lawyers supported the move to disinvite El-Rufai. Even those that did not support the move, understood and accepted the decision. Only a tiny fragment of northern lawyers are part of the move to set up a new bar association.

It isn't right to make sweeping statements about an entire ethnic group.

I have a picture I took with Gani Fawehinmi when he came to my university for a seminar put together by my Faculty. Does it mean I was a member of the civil rights/anti Abacha movement?

I have another photo I took with Prof. Wole Soyinka and some leading members of the NADECO movement when I bumped into them at the National Theatre in Lagos when they came for a press conference. Does it mean I was a member of NADECO?

I have pictures taken with different political heavyweights including former president OBJ by virtue of my former job as a journalist where I had access to speak to several of these big men and women. Does it mean i can claim some form of affiliation with any of these men because I did "gum body" to snap pictures with them?

Abeg Reno Omokri should tell us another story jare! If he doesnt have pictures or videos of himself marching on the streets with these legends, he needs to stop passing off their legacies as his.

Sowore was there and we have pictures and videos of his escapades. He also has scars to show for it. Keyamo was there. We know his story. We know all those that were in the youth vanguard of the anti-Abacha movement.

While people like Reno were forming "human rights activist" by photo, many others were doing the actual thing. He needs to take several seats and stop acting like Abacha happened 100 years ago and we don't remember the history.

What is the point of this?

We are human and we have the ability to reevaluate a position with the benefit of new information and change our minds.

In 1997, Tinubu did not believe in one Nigeria. 23 years later, he feels differently. What is the crime there?

Ikemba Ojukwu fought a war seeking to secede from Nigeria. Many years later, the man not only preached one Nigeria, but also ran for the office of President of the same country.

Nnamdi Kanu who is championing the break up of Nigeria today believed in one Nigeria just a few years ago.

In 2015, many Nigerians swore by Buhari. Today some of those Nigerians swear at Buhari. Some that hated him then, now like him today.

What makes us human beings is that for as long as we are still alive, we have the ability to review a stand on an issue and change that stand if necessary. it is what makes up the process of growth and it will continue until the day we die.

Olumide Akpata isn't the current leader of the NBA. The current leader is Usoro. The baton exchange will happen at the annual conference.

If Olumide Akpata wants to take the action of striking out El-Rufai's name immediately after he takes office he can do so

This birghto na correct guy. He is the only serious person there. Don't be surprised if he wins.

He won't win by running other housemates down or knocking heads. He will win by playing his own game and adopting his own strategy.

None of the housemates playing the game can see better than the viewers because the viewers have a 360 degrees view of all of the housemates.

How do you call someone "your guy" and run him down before others in the same sentence?

That's a shitty thing to do.

This is very good as long as they have an altruistic reason for inviting him and not to intimidate and shut him up.

Let him share his "facts" with the DSS for the peace and security of the nation and let the DSS do their job.

Similarly, if it is found that he made those incendiary allegations just to score some cheap points, he should be made to face the law.

That claim that there is a civil war that will start in 2022 is scary.

I hope publicity people are not about to use and dump her.

After all, is said and done, the world we live in is made up of "users and the used." At every point in time, someone is using and someone is getting used.

Even you are either using someone or being used by someone at this very time. What matters at the end of the day is how you are able to adequately milk your situation for value.

There is no one anywhere except God, that will continually provide succour for anyone else. Pikin dey grow up dey on em own; student dey graduate; employee dey become retiree; man pikin dey die; Na so the world dey roll dey go non-stop.

As god don smile on this woman and her children now, it is up to them to tap as much value as they can from this positive publicity.

No one promised them tomorrow.

Something wey dey totori some men naim the papa of this fine children run live dem so. Maybe one alfa go don tell am say na dem dey affect em destiny because dem be ogbanje.

Now as d man abandon dem na that time God come pick their call o! blessing come dey follow dem. Now the mumu papa go come now wan dey feel among as tins don dey beta for dem small small so. Mtchewwww!

The moral of the story for me is that no blessing of God is a curse...everytin na time. Secondly, e get some kin mumu people wey suppose delete from your life before your destiny go pick. If the yeye papa no abandon dem, nobody for notice dem. Thirdly, no situation wey Baba God no fit turn around...even those situations wey be like say life don finish...just dey follow am dey go even if e no make sense.

Pictures

I no be doctor oooo!

But from the pictures, that big toe looks like an ingrown toenail while those lesions between the toes looks like athlete foot. If it is, she will need a very minor surgery to correct it.

It would appear she walks around barefoot a lot. She needs to stop doing that.

Let her get a daily footbath of warm water and disinfectant (Dettol, Izal, etc) or even regular table salt. Let her soak her feet for about 20 to 30 minutes daily and then apply an anti-fungal cream especially between her toes before she goes to bed.

There is also this anti-fungal foot powder she can dust on her foot after the footbath. I can't remember the name now but any major pharmacy should stock it.

Last last, it would be a great idea to see a doctor sha. Though unless you see a specialist podiatrist, the likelihood is that they will just prescribe some anti-fungal creams and send her on their way.

*Failed Edo Assembly invasion an attempted coup d’état - Obaseki*

*_...says govt will take all steps necessary to defend rule of law_*

*_...salutes Edo people for thwarting evil plans_*

Edo State Governor, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has described the failed invasion of the state House of Assembly Complex as an attempted coup d’état that is tantamount to treason and contrary to the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution.

Obaseki who said this in a statewide broadcast on Friday, assured that his administration will take all steps necessary to defend the rule of law and democratic ideals.

“Any person or group of persons who set out to test our will in this regard will meet with the full wrath of the law," the governor warned.

He noted: "These events portend grave danger to the safety and security of our polity. It had all the hallmarks of an attempted coup d’état. 

“The people of Edo State rose as one to prevent the desecration of our democracy. It is however worrisome that certain persons are willing to plunge the society into avoidable anarchy and conflict just to satisfy their illegitimate objectives."

According to the Governor, "the crisis in the Edo State legislature dates back to June 17th, 2019, when upon my proclamation of the 7th Edo State House of Assembly, some members-elect refused to present themselves for inauguration.

“The Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State in a judgement delivered on the 12th of September, 2019, decided that my proclamation of the House of Assembly was lawful and that the National Assembly could not take over the function of the Edo State House of Assembly as the conditions for doing so did not exist.

“The court judgement affirmed that the Assembly was duly inaugurated and held that the Governor or any other person could not issue another proclamation."

He explained that "Even after this judgement, the 14 members-elect stayed away from the House and refused to be inaugurated to perform their elected role of representing their constituencies. Having failed to sit for over 180 sitting days, the leadership of the House of Assembly had no option but to declare their seats vacant and requested the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct fresh elections to fill the vacancies that had then been created.

"Following this action by the leadership of the House, the 14 members-elect approached the Federal High Court, Abuja, to challenge the constitutionality or otherwise of the declaration of their seats vacant. This suit is still pending in the court."

Obaseki noted that "This unfortunate situation has festered because a former governor of the state is bent on throwing the state into crisis ahead of the forthcoming governorship elections."

"I want to salute the resolve of all well-meaning Edo people in standing up to thwart the evil plans of these undemocratic elements who are bent on perpetrating an illegal assault on our democracy by the purported inauguration in a private residence.

"These events portend grave danger to the safety and security of our polity. It had all the hallmarks of an attempted coup d’état. The people of Edo State rose as one to prevent the desecration of our democracy. It is however worrisome that certain persons are willing to plunge the society into avoidable anarchy and conflict just to satisfy their illegitimate objectives.

"These acts are tantamount to treason, contrary to the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution.

"Be assured, dear people of Edo State, that this government will take all steps necessary to defend the rule of law and democratic ideals. Any person or group of persons who set out to test our will in this regard will meet with the full wrath of the law," he said.

From all we read and watched on the news, the only person that led an "invasion" of the state assembly is the governor himself when he led thugs to vandalise the building.

The other members were nowhere near the EDHA when the governor and his deputy supervised the ransacking and vandalisation of the Hoise of Assembly in the name of "renovation."

SmartProf:
Lol...I don't expect anything less from a quota system lawyer who has mainly been in the centre of supervising corruption than the cause of maintaining justice. Shebi you have been given the security aides? So proceed to carry out the functions of your new office let's see, but if you are unable to, pls visit the AGF to give u small space in his Abuja office to carry out your duties from there.

So in your opinion, 18 elected members, out of a 24-member house of assembly, should not be allowed to sit, discuss and elect a leader for themselves?

What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong. In this case, the governor is clearly in the wrong.

Obaseki coasting to victory 100%.. this drama just sealed his victory at the polls.

The game plan has changed to "take down Oshomole" for the Edolites, like it was for anenih in 2012 when Oshomole was the underdog from NLC.

Obaseki had better use this underdog strategy efficiently, one error usually takes it away..

If you are in doubt, re-study Lagos Governorship election 2015 and why APC only won with less than 100k votes despite being Tinubu's state..

Obaseki lost that underdog card with some of the actions he has taken since the beginning of his administration.

• Swearing-in 10 out of 24 legislators thus barring them from providing the representation for which their people elected them.

• Leading a bunch of renegades within the party to remove the national chairman of the party.

• Various acts of intimidation perpetrated against state legislators and party men considered loyal to the then national chairman of the party and even the chairman himself. This includes the childish action of parking a fully loaded refuse truck in front of the then national chairman's house.

• Banning the then national chairman from visiting Edo State and threatening the national chairman with arrest if he visits Edo State without executive clearance.

• Moving state legislators loyal to him (now only 5) to government house and using thugs to vandalize the State House of Assembly building to prevent the 19 other lawmakers from sitting.

Do all of the above actions and so many more look to you like the actions of a political underdog?

Former Big Brother Naija, BBNaija housemate Ka3na has revealed that Nengi few days ago went into the shower with Ozo.

In an interview she granted on Tuesday, Ka3na who was evicted from the show on Sunday said Nengi also tried to invite Trickytee into the shower with Ozo at the same time.

While speaking in the interview, she mentioned how manipulative Nengi was and how's she's been trying to play mind games with every male housemate in the house.

She went further to state that though she's not divorced from her husband, she's 100% single as she and her husband are in an open relationship where every party is free to live their life as they please.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQr3K9qRnBw

"Nengi throws herself at men"? That's definitely rich coming from a married woman that threw herself and had sex on international TV, with a guy that wanted nothing to do with her the next day

Everyone in the BB Naija house is there to play a game. You played yours and it obviously did not work. Stop beefing Nengi or anyone else for that matter.

How do you engage a shooter you can't see clearly?

How do you engage a shooter who might have surrounded himself with a human shield of women and children?

How do you engage a shooter who is firing from within a civilian population?

Fighting a force that adopts guerilla tactics is not like conventional warfare where you know where your enemy is and you point your guns in that direction and open fire. Troops are bound by all sorts of international conventions even when fighting unconventional enemies like terrorists.

If those troops had unleashed fire in the general direction of those gunshots, they probably would have hit more civilians than terrorists...then we would roast them for being so "unprofessional".

Give these guys a break. I think they are doing their best considering the circumstances.

NORSIYK:
Dbanji, you have succeeded in intimidating this girl to the extent of withdrawing the case and, you are going ahead to save your face by going ahead with the libel case

She claims she withdrew the case for personal reasons.

The accused has rejected her withdrawal and is pushing ahead with the case...she should be happy about that because it gives her an opportunity to go before a court and present facts to prove she was raped, without having it on her conscience that she may have been responsible for destroying somebody. This case eases whatever moral burden or hang-ups she might have.

She already has a lawyer and some money was raised for her by the feminist groups that supported her cause so money should not be a problem.

D'banj was accused, tried and judged on social media because of a mere statement made by this lady. The guy was the subject of ridicule and condemnation even by those he would normally consider close colleagues, associates and friends who were constrained to denounce him publicly in the harshest of ways. I can just imagine the tension this accusation would have put on his marriage and how much he may have lost in revenue due to this accusation.

Apart from his talent and street cred, the only other thing an artiste has is his reputation. This singular accusation negatively impacted all three aspects.

I support D'banj following through on this case 100%. I for one will continue to have questions about his personal integrity if he pulls out the case at this time. I feel for the lady and this isn't about exposing her to any punishment but for D'Banj to clear his name and save whatever is left of his dignity.

He may also have struck a deal to turn state witness against Hushpuppi, for a lesser charge or reduced sentence.

Excuses:



I have never insulted on nairaland before..and you cannot make me do it today.

So the killing of people in the middle belt particularly Benue and Plateau is nonsensical.
For your information am from Benue State..and i've witnessed first hand the killing of my people.but because we are minority tribes in Nigeria no one cares.
Because sanctions will affect Nigeria,they shouldn't be imposed so that evil will continue as long people like you wake up everyday smiling to high heavens in the comfort of your parents wealth you think everything is ok.

If your words were as fierce as you think, you should know that,there is nothing as constant as change.

Pray such massacre never be meted on people in your region. WAR IS NOT SOMETHING TO WISH FOR.

I feel your pain and your anger. You make numerous assumptions about me. But it might shock you to know I am from the middle belt of Nigeria myself...and I am a Christian. I do not come from a wealthy home either. Thank you for keeping it civil nonetheless.

But, communal clashes are numerous across the country and apart from the Boko crisis in the Northeast, none of them has the sort of religious colouration that warrants this skewed narrative of a targeted agenda against Christians anywhere in the country. I doubt the bandits in Zamfara, Benue, Kogi, Plateau and the likes, care if you are an imam, a sheikh, an Ustaz or a devout Christian before they launch their carnage.

We have a plethora of persistent internecine conflicts across the country and successive government have failed to curtail them. Beyond these conflicts, we have poverty, hunger and disease claiming many more lives. We unfortunately have a bunch of people that have played up these conflicts, leveraging them for political and possibly, monetary gain.

Now the narrative has attracted sanctions which will be felt by everyone...even the "oppressed Christians".Because of the way our system works, the only people that will be immune from the debilitating effects of these sanctions are the very people the sanctions are targeted at...the politicians.

But I hope that the sanctions end up stopping the conflicts across the country like you said.

God bless Nigeria and ALL Nigerians.

It is great to know that sanctions will be imposed on the country.

It is also wonderful that everyone of us will feel the impact of these sanctions...even the so-called "persecuted Christians."

God bless Nigeria!

A voter or party supporter reserves the right to change their minds about the decision made.

The fact that President Buhari and APC have not quite provided the sort of leadership that many of us thought they would, does not obfuscate the fact that ex-President Jonathan and the PDP were an uber corrupt entity that failed woefully having ruled the country for a solid 16 years.

Please let us not mix up the facts. Let Reno rest and let Sowore also shut up!

Nigeria SHALL be great again!

JONNYSPUTE:
....Good morning folks. Sure we are all good and managing the effects of pandemic well?. To God be the glory.

This is going to be long because I will want us to read and understand it very well before commenting. Reason is because any decision taken is going to affect both myself,my immediate family members, extended and the entire community.

I have been thinking about the way forward since December last year.

It happened that we lost our king (Eze) 5years ago and the community has been in turmoil due to the inability of the elders to select a new king.

Reason is that it is rotational between my village and the other village.

My village is now supposed to bring out the next king and my compound has been told to bring out somebody to be crowned as a king.

I never envisaged or dreamt of becoming a king in my life because.
(1) My father is still alive.
(2)I'm not the most senior in the entire family.

But then,the elders met me last December and told me that the diety in the community has selected me to become the next king and that I have to pick another wife from the community before I will be crowned.

I told them point and blank that the oracle is mistaken due to the reasons I mentioned above but they are not taking it.

Now everyone in my village is against me for refusing the offer and saying I'm doing it be cause I don't want to hurt my wife which is true.

Now my question is,What do I do?
Should I damn the consequence and pick another wife and be crowned a king in other to make my community happy or should I forget about the whole idea entirely and allow the community sort themselves out?

I'm confused here. N B. My wife is aware of all this.

Thanks.

Please bring this to front page cause I'm no longer myself. So many sleepless nights and selfish advices from the elders in my community. I really need to hear the truth from people I don't know.

What is it with African deities and complicating ordinary peoples' lives?

if you accept the title, I hope the "deities" won't further complicate your life...like asking you to drop one or two human heads every year or marrying even more wives. No disrespect to your culture and tradition but our African "deities" have a sick and twisted sense of humour. Bizarre and somewhat macabre. I also know they always want more and more until they drain the last drop of your blood.

Please beware before you jump into the traditional sphere because beyond the glitz and glamour of royalty, there is a fetish and dark underbelly. Na only "strong men" dey attempt am.

Think am well.

This owerri girl want to destroy me.
I'm thinking of reporting the insta page so they can block it.
But it will affect my business. What should I do??

Get a lawyer to issue her a cease and desist order. Then go to the police with your lawyer and show tham proof that she has indeed taken over your accounts and threatened to reveal intimate details of your private conversations. What she is doing is called blackmail and it is a criminal offence.

EngineerBode:
There is nothing like betrayal here. Most times, the governor and deputy are brought together for political reasons. They were never friends before. Check Buhari and osibanjo.Did Buhari know Osibanjo before? The deputy is ambitious. he wants to be Governor. He is free to contest. He owes no one his life.

Nothing wrong with ambition.

If the deputy governor wants to become governor so desperately and he isn't willing to wait until his boss runs his term, then he is right to resign and run on another platform.

The only challenge here is that he shouldn't only resign from the party that gave him the platform. He should also resign from the office.

That is the honourable thing to do.

No one is dragging the title of "national Chairman of APC appointed by court order" with Giadom. He should continue to answer it since he likes it so much. Infact he should add it to his list of titles.

He needs to have the entire NWC to make any pronouncements that makes any effect.

Can Giadom mention which member of the APC NWC he is running his secretariat with?

divinehand2003:


https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/06/apc-in-disarray-as-3-acting-chairmen-emerge-in-3-hrs/

Sensationalist headline!

Going by the news yesterday, the APC is definitely not in disarray.

Oshiomole stepped aside in compliance with a court order. The party appointed Ajimobi as acting chairman in line with the party's constitution and going by the natural order of succession.

Ajimobi is currently ill and indisposed so when the party NWC met yesterday, they appointed Hilliard Eta to act instead of Ajimobi who is currently indisposed. Mr. Hilliard Eta is thus the party's acting chairman at the moment.

Giadom claims he was appointed acting chairman by the courts via a judgement secured in March. Events have since overtaken the circumstances that led to that judgement. Giadom hmself is no longer the deputy secretary of the APC since he resigned his appointment to contest deputy governorship of Cross River state. His resignation was ratified by the NWC at their meeting yesterday so he is no longer in the running for chairmanship. He is a pretender and a spoiler at best.

The so-called leadership crisis in the APC only exists on the pages of newspapers, social media and in the minds of mischief makers.

Newcreature2020:
Question? why aren't the market place or malls having these same rules? Now it's obvious the fight is against the church

And the mosques? Are they not affected as well?

Why do we Christian's like claiming everything is an attack on the church? Why do we like crying wolf where there is none?

With the numbers been recorded everyday, does it even begin to make sense to you for any pastor to gather people into an auditorium at a time like this? Does it sound to you like the sort of thing that Jesus would do? Would he wilfully expose his people to such danger?

How can you compare markets to churches? Must we congregate in a man made building before we can worship God? What is wrong with the idea of gathering online like most churches are currently doing?

Trailblazer1:
Game over


It's a palace coup against Obaseki by the APC national hierarchy


Gather here if you support Obaseki to fight back with all his might like a man rather than chicken out like one coward from Epe

I just want this new precedence of godfatherism to end in our polity from Edo to Lagos

Obaseki was a willing beneficiary of godfatherism.

Obaseki is an aspiring godfather himself.

Every Nigerian politician has one or more patrons AKA "godfather".

If you dismantle one God father's structure, 2 will rise in its place. As long as our electoral system remains the way it is currently, there will always be godfathers AKA Baba Isale.

If you don't want godfather wahala, run on your own independent platform and see how far you can go.

Neither Oshiomole nor Obaseki are fighting for any altruistic reason; they are both fighting for their pockets. When the going was good, they did not involve the masses. Now they are fighting, one is claiming to be fighting for the masses? Na lie!

Nigerian politics is a jungle. The only people that should carry it on their head are the politicians themselves and anyone benefitting from the aberration that is our political system.

The rest of us should just adopt sidon-look mode in this game of thrones.

cynosuree:
Good morning. This issue has been bothering me for a long time, and I feel like it's too sensitive to ask for second opinions from people I know so I figured I'd maybe ask some strangers on the internet.

I've been with my boyfriend for about 6 months now and he's everything I ever wanted in a man. Physically, he's gorgeous, and he also loves me alot. He's kind, he's patient, communicates effectively and all. You know, all the good stuff.

But here's the problem, he cannot hold a conversation beyond "what are you doing" , "what did you eat" (and all that boring stuff) to save his life. I'm not even talking about intellectual conversations like quantum theory or anything, normal conversations about stuff that's happening around the world or around us. Anytime we try to, it usually fails spectacularly. He either ends up missing the ENTIRE point and saying something totally unrelated, or he just waits for me to say what I think so he can go "Yeeaaaa that's true" , leaving me really pissed.


He has absolutely NOTHING intelligent to contribute to any serious conversation, and this hurts me alot because it is a HUGE turn off and I'm slowly losing interest in him. It's a very tricky situation because he does/did well academically, he graduated with very good grades but that's about it...nothing more. I didn't notice it at first - before we started dating, or I would never have dated him because it is a deal breaker for me.

I have considered telling him but I don't exactly know how to approach the conversation without being rude/insensitive, I know telling him would really hurt him and I don't want that. I've also thought about learning how to live with it, because no one is perfect right? Maybe I'm asking for too much?

The latter option is what I've been doing and it's gradually killing me. I fear that I'll fall out of love completely with him and end up hating myself for ruining a good thing, because he's a really good guy .

I'd like to know what you think

Is his silence a result of his personality? Is he reticent by nature? Is he generally quiet with others or is it only when he is with you? Is there a chance that he could be uninterested in the topics you want to talk about? This are some of the questions you need to figure out answers to.

If you discover he is chatty and open when he is with others, then listen in on such conversations and decipher what topics interest him. If you notice however that he is equally reserved and non-conversational when with others, then maybe that is just how he is wired.

You probably should have a candid conversation about the situation since it bothers you so much. But please don't go sharing your thoughts on whether he is smart or not with him. Such a statement will definitely end in tears one way or another. For someone who passed with good grades, smartness is definitely not the issue. You might also be shocked that he considers you talkative.

You guys have only dated for six months. Be patient with each other.

Who said he is begging? Are you even in Benin? Why did he rebel against oshiomole? Oshiomole did a lot and has been doing a lot. Obaseki is just fed up with the injustice!!!!


Nigerian police is yet to claim the land oshiomole took from the police civil servants located in No 10 Okoro-tun Benin City.

If he isn't begging, why is he going up and down the country? Why is he going to meet the same Tinubu that he and his acolytes on social media have insulted several times? Ok, let say he isn't begging, couldn't he have explored all of these peaceful channels way before now?

I am not saying Oshiomole is perfect. But it was the same platform provided by the imperfect Oshiomole that brought Obaseki to power. The aggression he displayed against Oshiomole was unnecessary. He should have learnt vital lessons from Ambode's ill-fated adventure in Lagos.
