This is a a manifestly unfair assessment of the true situation of things.

Agreeing to this assessment is akin to spitting on the sacrifice of the numerous soldiers that have died providing security across the country.

Government has done a lot and take it or leave it, the situation has improved. However, there's so much more that needs to be done.

Don't know hw true, which is why I used "could "

Oh that's a new twist. But I think that report was about Ifeanyi Ubah.

Uzodinma shouldn't relax yet ooo, anything could happen.

Anything could happen like what exactly? The court is not called "Supreme" for nothing you know?

God forbid, even if Uzodinma drops dead today, he will be succeeded by his deputy. Ihedioha cannot smell office again till the next elections.

My advice to him is to go and rest and map out strategy for the next election rather then expending his lean resources sponsoring pointless protests.

This is what should have been done snce rather than all of the pointless grandstanding and sabre rattling in the media.

Let the judiciary do its job of interpreting the law and guide all concerned in this matter accordingly.

For country wey man 'o war and boy scout dey wan slap person for road!

Country wey even corporate guard dey wan shalo pesin and dey claim staff sake of say em sef wear uniform...afterall uniform na uniform.

Country wey police na armed robber and armed robber dey wear police uniform.

Na dat same country naim Amotekun wan operate?

So by the time wey all the other region form dem own "Amotekun", na wetin come remain?

Na who go dey control Amotekun? Na who dey regulate their activity?

No be this country we dey wey Gani Adam and OPC hold Lagos hostage during Obasanjo time?

No be this country we dey wey Bakassi boys terrorise Southeast region?

You go fear headline naaa!

See as they spun the story to make it look like something scandalous had happened in the church leading to the staff resignations.

To resign from your workplace for the purpose of relocation abroad isn't bad. If I tell you the number of employees that resigned from my office to go to Canada in 2019, you will be shocked.

Bloggers just like sensationalising stories.

How about from 2015 to 2020?

You guys are a big part of the Nigerian problem as you are more interested in supporting your party/religion
than the country.

Sadly, I don't belong to the party or the religious group you think. This paranoia will do no one any good. There are bad eggs in every tribe and religion.

Comparing a government to a terrorist group because you aren't happy with their appointments or policies isn't right.

Putin is the most dangerous man alive. Believe me, he has unsettled America more than Iran have done.

Remember that Russia meddled with the election that brought Trump into Power to the destruction of America.

After Devil, fear Putin!!

Right now, even Putin is much more stable than Trump at the moment. Trump is as erratic as a 6 year old with real nuclear codes.

He is the greatest threat to world peace right now.

Based on this description, NIGERIA is ok.

It is NIGERIANS that have a problem...a BIG ONE!

If anyone deserves beating here, it should be the agbaya that wants to sleep with a minor. I strongly advise you let the authorities sort him out. But who am I to judge you if you pay a couple of "area boys" to deal out some "gbas gbos."

As for your sister, forget that flogging levels. Instead have a heart to heart but very firm talk with her. Cultivate a trusting friendship with her so that she will be able to confide the most intimate details to you. That way you will be able to provide the necessary guidance and fight off the wolves where necessary.

If you start by beating her, you force her into her shell and lose the plot. Involve your parents too so they can keep a closer eye on her not just physically but digitally too. A lot of parents physically watch and protect their kids but forget that social media is a different exposure all together. They forget to keep an eye on their children's digital footprints. Big mistake!

See your government.

Unfortunately nobody is reviewing anything they will tag along

Why are we comparing both countries? Do they have the same foreign or economic policies?

An international currency regime is not something to rush into. If Ghana I'd comfortable with it and Nigeria isn't, so be it. We call them "government" for a reason.

Racoon:

So there is truly a cabal? Yet this same Garba Shehu was earlier telling Nigerians that there is no cabal in the presidency & that Buhari is in charge of his government?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/dailypost.ng/2019/11/08/crisis-in-presidency-nobody-is-too-powerful-to-be-controlled-by-me-i-remain-in-charge-buhari/amp/

Meanwhile, did Nigerians elected a cabal? On what constitutional basis is a cabal operating in the nation's seat of power? So why are the Dauras/Babachirs/ Funtuas etc desperate to be holed up in Aso Rock that they've been threatening the life of the first lady?

See the idiocy Garba Shehu is manifesting every day. Aisha Buhari was right.The NUJ should simply ostracize this man because he is a complete disgrace and monumental embarrassment.

There is hardly any leader anywhere in the world that functions without an inner caucus of trusted friends and advisers. The only reason we label them a "cabal" here is because of the bizarre sort of politics we play here.

The inner caucus or "kitchen cabinet" as it is called in other climes is usually made up of friends and close confidants who no doubt, have a strong influence on the leader's leadership disposition and decisions.

I saw the tweet in question and there was nothing in it that looked like it was aimed to stimulate a debate, a discussion or anything of the sort! He wasn't misquoted or taken out of context in anyway.

It was a categorical statement that looked and sounded like the claimant had solid proof. If it was all about debates and discussions, a lot of that has been on since this unfortunate Sowore saga began.

But when a man of influence like this makes a statement that Sowore was released to divert attention from the "unsuccessful attempt on the life of ex President Jonathan", who is he accusing but the government that released Sowore?

Would they then be wrong to invite him to share proof of his allegation? I think it is time people like this become a lot more circumspect about their statements on social media.

Unique357:
In brief, I am a male married with 2 children, my daughter is 8 and son is 5. I also have my niece 11 and a house help 15 staying with us.

On Monday I gave my wife Christmas shopping money to get foodstuffs, hers and children clothing including our house help.

Yesterday my wife went shopping, she bought clothes for herself, our children and nothing for the house help. She claimed that the girl doesn’t need any clothes for Christmas as long we feed and send her to school, the rest is her parents' duties. The girl in question is my wife's relative from the same village. This girl is so nice to our children, she is like a second mother to them despite her being just 15, I have never had any problem with her.

I was mad at her that I told her, if she cannot treat another woman's child well then she doesn’t deserve to be a mother, yes I did said some harsh words to her because of anger. She accused me of sleeping with the little girl which I told her she is mad and she couldn’t stop crying the whole night. This morning she didn’t make my breakfast and refused greeting me back.

Please house let me know if I overreacted

Let's just say that you did the right thing....but in a wrong way.

Your wife isn't a perfect human being....but she's a perfect wife for you to nurture, develop and improve. All of these must however be done in a sweet and loving atmosphere or else you will set your home on fire.

You will also make things a lot more difficult for your househelp because your wife will blame her for the disruption in her home and rain hell on her.

I advise you to rein in the situation quickly to avoid a further degeneration. Buy her a gift and apologise for speaking out of turn to her. Then lovingly explain to her why the househelp must be treated right...especially in this season of love, sharing and goodwill. I am sure she will see reason.

Goodluck.

This man's only claim to fame is that he served in the Nigerian Army and participated in almost every coup that happened from independence to the 80s. He was a major part of the team that stoked the embers that exploded into the civil war leading to millions of deaths.

Yet today, he is one of the wealthiest men in Africa with 2 oil wells and chains of businesses to his name.

Yet today, this crook is seizing platforms to grandstand and talk down on people. This blood thirsty ethnic jingoist who is behind a lot of the communal crisis in the middle belt is talking about what he knows.

Why wont he know when he is a principal actor in the drama that is Nigeria? God will judge him and his class of generals for all they have done to this dear country one day! Very soon!

23 oil wells?!



These are the kind of tales Kanu spins to his followers on his IPOB radio. What is unfortunate is that his followers swallow the lies without asking reasonable questions.

Truly unfortunate.

Do DSS operatives now patrol the streets like police men. This story doesn't add up.

Chai! What a life. The life of 2 young people irredeemably destroyed just like that.

Her life may have been saved if someone had the foresight to rush that poor lady to hospital immediately after it happened rather than keep her on the bare floor.

Now this guy is going to be locked away for a lifetime most likely. 19 years old! That's the outcome of living life on the fast lane.

Really unfortunate!

The problem of disorderliness isn't caused by "Nigeria." Nigeria has a lot of laws and agencies responsible for maintaining order.

The problem is "we Nigerians". We are disorderly people that refuse to comply with basic traffic rules. There is no way we will have a state of order when we display a total disregard for the rules put in place to guarantee order.

When we change our orientation, order will automatically return.

MisterJeph:


my brain went blank for a second and I started looking for a suitable answer. [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

At this point, you had answered the interviewer's question without saying anything and your unspoken answer was a silent NO I AM NOT CREATIVE!

If you were, that question wouldn't have thrown you off balance

Your mistake was in approaching the question from the regular meaning of the word "creative". Creativity means a lot more than your ability to write a story or song, paint a picture or act in a drama or movie. With relation to the corporate space, the interviewer was most likely testing your capacity for out-of-the-box and innovative thinking.

Next time you are asked a question that seems to have come out of nowhere or isn't in alignment with the role you are been interviewed for, pause for a moment and give it some thought before answering. If you still come up blank, you can ask the interviewer to further elucidate. You don't lose any points during an interview by asking an interview to clarify a question that you didn't understand.

When you seek clarification, it not only helps your understanding but also buys you some valuable seconds with which to think through your response more deeply before voicing it. Acing an interview takes some "creative" thinking in itself

Good luck!

I don't know who is advising Mr Onyema. But this is a foolhardy move that will not end well for him.

I don't think he wants to get into this messy extradition battle that will no doubt shred whatever is left of his credibility to pieces.

Nigeria as a country is committed to a number of treaties with the US and extraditing wanted suspects on the basis of valid court documents is one of them. The FG will be hard-pressed not to arrest him and ship him to the US is such a request is made. Nigeria can't afford to get on the bad side of the US.

Mr Onyema needs to lawyer up and voluntarily turn himself in to US authorities and set about clearing his name or answering for the misdemeanour whichever way it goes. That is the wisest and most honourable thing to do at this time.

I didn't know that the "Fulanis" have taken control of the American government. Interesting!

I don't see what he is gloating about. If the ruling of the court was that there is to be an election re-run, then technically, no one can be sworn in as a replacement until the result of the rerun is received.

Having said that, I wonder why the "house leader" needs 3 new cars. If he has 3, I wonder how many the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker have. This is how these legislators keep wasting public funds thus spiking up the cost of governance. Why in the world does one man need 3 cars?

Onyema denies US fraud allegations, says all money transferred went through CBN

The United States has very strong laws governing financial transactions. Their justice system is also quite efficient and thorough securing over 95% conviction rate. What that means is that if the government takes you to court in the US, there is every likelihood they will convict you because they have thoroughly investigated and established a firm case against you.

I say this because with this DOJ indictment of the Air Peace man, they probably have atleast 80 to 90% of the evidence they need before going public with the indictment.

Issuing press statements in Nigeria is a pointless exercise. He needs to hop on the next plane to the US and turn himself in to the authorities there with a view to cooperate and clear his name. If the indictment sticks and he is taken to court, he needs to appeal for the court's mercy and probably blame it all on his ignorance of the US laws. With this, he can get away with a light sentence or even a heavy fine.

The alternative is to stay in Nigeria and become fugitive or for him to launch a media war against US authorities, a battle he is bound to lose seeing how much dirt they have on him already. What is worse is that his businesses including air peace will greatly suffer as the DOJ indictment means all of his lines of credit locally and internationally will dry up. Banks will begin to call in whatever facilities they may have granted hm. He won't be able to get parts for his planes or even get them serviced. Even if he has the money to pay, no serious company outside the shores of this country will want to accept his money or have anything to do with him for fear of getting the DOJ's negative attention.

Naaah! Mr. Onyema doesn't need all of that. I strongly advise he goes to the US and face this issue squarely and courageously. I believe he will come out clean; I hope he comes out clean.

Old, rusty, highly unstable but still live.

That man shouldn't be anywhere near that bomb.

Ebullience:
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared incumbent Governor Yahaya Bello winner of the 2019 governorship election in Kogi state.

Bello won majority votes in 12 of the 21 local government areas in the state, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Candidate, Engr. Musa Wada won majority votes in 9 local government areas.

Bello polled a total of 406,222 votes to defeat Wada who scored 189,704 votes.

http://community.thenationonlineng.net/xn/detail/

Sadly, my poor Kogi State just can't catch a break

We seem to have been cursed with a succession of poor and mediocre leaders since the creation of the state. What is more painful is that even if the election had gone the way of the PDP, Wada in my opinion, would even be a poorer choice as governor. At least with this inept Yahaya Bello that just won a second term now, we know what to expect. He performed so poorly in his first term that I don't think he can do much worse in his second term. There is also a slim chance that his performance could improve.

With Wada, on the other hand, I am almost positive the state would only roll further downhill, if the performance of his kin, Capt. Idris Wada, is anything to go by. That one was governor for 4 years, spent 70% of the time in Abuja and achieved next to nothing for the state.

I don't understand how a state so blessed with natural and human resources can remain on its knees for so long. Only God can help us now!

Firstly, Mr. Otedola is a generous man. But I'm willing to bet he didn't donate anything near 5 billion naira to any children anywhere. That one na audio donation.

Secondly, not every donor likes doing so publicly. There are a lot of NGOs helping out in the Northeast and they have sponsors world over that contribute anonymously.

Calling out people whose contributions you might not know because one person publicised his donation isn't right.

Before Otedola's "5 billion" were the children in the Northeast not receiving help from other sources?

A former governor of Anambra State, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, has appealed to the Federal Government to allow Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) come to Nigeria for his late mother’s funeral.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Ezeife said the government should also make a promise not to harass or arrest Kanu throughout his stay in the country until he leaves.

Ezeife who said the death of a mother is very painful said he is happy that a lot of people have been calling on the government to allow Kanu come home.

https://www.independent.ng/allow-nnamdi-kanu-travel-to-nigeria-for-his-mothers-burial-ezeife-tells-fg/

This is a very silly request.

Mr. Kanu is been tried for a plethora of offences. He was granted bail and he jumped bail by fleeing Nigeria to another country. There is currently an APB out on him because he is a fugitive from law.

What exactly then is Chief Ezeife pleading for? Is he asking the security agencies to look away while a fugitive from law moves around freely in Nigeria?
