The news excluded the reason for this "uncivilised" act. Why did Amaechi and his team do this? Until I get an answer.

I thought they would have first stopped doctors from reneging on their oaths of not owning private hospitals while working for the government at the same time, gross!.
Many of them are very greedy and do not regard human life as much as they do money. On that, you have to bribe your way through at some government hospitals, just for them to do their work. I wonder what professionalism is all about.

Price of cement is still the same around N1,600/bag

I think it rose to N2000+, in some places perhaps, at a time. If it is N1,600, then is has reduced for some people.

@ OP

What's shocking about this?

A man collects forms, fills them and then returned the forms and you call that shocking?

Network no gree me talk before you. You have spoken on my behalf.
I am still searching for the 'shocking thing' about this.

achi4u:
Bad question.

Not at all.

I do not agree with Oshiomhole on this.
He may think all behind him are also behind Buhari or Atiku. But, since the people will not be guarded to the box, they'll do their will there.
If he is running for presidency, he may be able to get his loyalists to queue behind, but as it is, not exactly.
He may be surprised Goodluck may bag up to 95% of the eligible votes in Edo state.
Well, his wishes.

Who is he looking at?

A fake letter can as well be faked. MEND leadership (if in existence) will have to corroborate or refute this.

Nobody should make tribalistic comment on this board or else you have yourself to blame.

The news is tribalistic already

Those youths should also go and burn down all Boko haram strongholds, because it seems BH just remembered their state. Show of strength.

Did you say completely unclad? I see some white fabric covering her upper torso.
A lot of people will not notice the painting. But, let a man try the experiment. Perhaps Newyorkers won't also notice.

MisterLongman:
They still carried a poor little boy along to go and practice prostitution in italy

She was impregnated while on the move.
To think that this trip is not free beats me. Even while in Morocco/Lybia, some of them still receive funds from their people (this story is an evidence. Perhaps these ones' people have run out of support, since the milk and honey is not flowing, even after all the tales).
The girls are raped, the men's anuses are not spared. Many die on the way. The semi-lucky ones who cross through but with babies become somewhat handicapped, for they have nothing else to do there save prostitution and crime.

I didn't know this craze is still on. People need to learn

hahn:
very true. breast feeding is neccessary though according to my mom, she had to stop breast feeding me because of the way i squeezed her breast

Don't blame naija girls, most of them have fallen bobbies with lots of stretch marks and scars from their ex bf. If you had those kind of bobby YOU won't like to expose it.

Abi you nor see as that whitee bobby fresh. Confirm internet material

You are very funny my guy. Good punishment from your dear mum for wanting to kill the woman. Lol! Though generally, boys a better 'suckers' than female babies. But, weather stretch mark exists, or booby sagged, mother should not starve baby, anywhere. My opinion anyway.

freecocoa:
I have small strands of hair on my chin, it's not that much but it's still bear bear .

It doesn't affect anything in my life, I even pluck them with my fingers so it's not always there, I have a small portion of hair on my chest that I have to shave because I don't like it anymore, the only problem I've had with that one, is that, sometimes some yeye people especially my brother say " ifuro ka osi gba aji na obi ka amosu" or "this girl go wicked o this one wey she gather hair for chest" like wtf?

Not too loud usually. But you got me with that, very funny. Btw, does dat not translatetranslate to "don't you see how she has hair on her chest like a witch?". Lol! But don't mind them, people will always look for something to bad-mouth others. Love yourself. Some men admire dat small aji obi na nwanyi

For me, this should teach ladies to stop starving their babies in the name of keeping breast shape, and hiding breast, especially in public. Don't even starve him for one second for once men know you have a baby, your breast does little or nothing to most of them. Your baby's health is above all.

Jacci Sharkey juggled motherhood and schoolwork for most of her three and a half years at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) in Queensland, Australia. So the 24-year-old mother of two thought it only fitting to thank the university for supporting her and her family (who sometimes even went to lectures with her) by sharing a photo in which she was breastfeeding her then-6-week-old son Alek in her cap and gown, just before the graduation ceremony.

"I’m extremely proud that with the support of the uni, during my degree I was able to have 2 babies and still finish my degree," Sharkey explained in a note with the Oct. 2 photo. “Thanks USC!”

Now the school can thank her for shining the spotlight on them. Since the university posted her photo on Facebook on Nov. 2, it’s gone viral, with 184,000 likes and more than 5,400 shares.

"I thought I’d be really happy if it got 100 likes, and then it’s just gone out of control," the human resources management major, whose other son, Ari, is 20 months old, told Australia’s ABC News. “I never expected it to go crazy!”

Also unexpected was the idea that she had sent it to promote breastfeeding. “It wasn’t a statement [on breastfeeding] or anything like that,” Sharkey insisted. “I would have sent the same picture to the uni had [Alek] had a bottle or a sandwich.”

The thought she wanted to share was “just the fact that I’m a mum, it’s not I’m a breastfeeding mum, just I’m a mum,” she explained. “It was really a message of thanks and that other mums can do it as well.”


Elaborating to the Daily Mail Australia, Sharkey — who currently works as a wedding and events planner — declared, “You don’t have to give up the career to have kids, and you don’t have to give up kids to have the career … you can have it all.”

Nevertheless, the photo has been a boon to breastfeeding proponents. “Breastfeeding moms feel excited about seeing that,” La Leche League’s Diana West tells Yahoo Parenting. “In our world, breastfeeding is not considered acceptable everywhere. It’s changing a lot, but it’s still an adjustment for a lot of people to accept. A picture like this shows that this is normal. And it’s a cool way to show her bringing together her two worlds.”

With all the recent celebrity breastfeeding photo shares on social media, including ones from Alyssa Milano, Jaime King, and Gisele Bündchen, West says she’s not surprised that Sharkey’s went viral. “It’s breasts,” she admits. “They’re always going to be sexualized and get notice, but this image still serves the breastfeeding cause well because the more we talk about it, the more we discuss the issues around it.”


Sharkey says she has gotten some negative feedback about breastfeeding in public — much like Karlesha Thurman, 25, who received a slew of Twitter slams in June after a photo of her breastfeeding her 4-month-old daughter during her graduation from California State University, Long Beach, was posted on social media. But the overwhelming response has been positive.

redcliff:
This must be ruben abati's nairaland handle.

Lol. Am neutral, just saying the truth as observed by me

samento:
Shot your mouth. People like will serve GEJ's adopted children with you and your children living hopeless life. The way GEJ is rulling this country we will soon be begging food from neighbouring Benin republic.

Your opinion? You sound like him.

A day of reckoning indeed will come, albeit to everyone.
Amaechi has actually gone off handle and has belittled himself before people like me; who only participated in the last election for his and Jonathan's sake, by some of his unbridled utterances.

He attended a convocation somewhere in PortHarcourt recently and told the crowd that he did not come to deliver an address as invited, but to incite them to rise against the president

It is sickening. He may need to be mentally evaluated so we don't keep assuming all is well with him.

To say he has lost all sense of decorum is not out ouf place. Inasmuch as he doesn't give heed to third party advice, people close to him should make efforts to caution him.

Talkativeness is not a mark of bravery, but the opposite

To me, that money is way too much. N250 wouldn't hurt both parties.
They are considering extreme distances (Lagos-Kano), what about Lagos-Lagos?
They still want to to believe internet costs now as much as it did in 2001, when we paid N15/min to cyber cafe owners?

The House of Representatives Committee on Youth Development has endorsed the N4,000 for the online registration of members of the National Youth Service Corps ,NYSC.

Chairman of the committee, Rep Kamil Akinlabi revealed this while giving update on the investigation into the new policy, during a media chat with House of Representatives Press Corps.


Akinlabi said that the fund would be used for installation of equipment at the NYSC offices nationwide adding that the fund would enable the contractor handling the project to recoup investment within five years.

The House after the adoption of a motion sponsored by Hassan Saleh, directed NYSC management to suspend forthwith the policy requiring prospective Corp members to pay the sum of N4,000 with effect from 2015 to access their call up letters.

Akinlabi said: "from the onset, when the matter was brought to our attention, the first thing we felt was the way you are feeling but after constructive engagement, we discovered that it was an innovation that we can't run from.

"First, it was not the responsibility of the NYSC to mobilize respective Corp member to get their call-up letter, it is the responsibility of the parent. If somebody schooled in Lagos but lives in Kano and to get his call-up letter he has to travel to school.

He explained further that "so you will discover that it's time consuming, risky and very expensive. So what the NYSC has done is to partner with a consultant that is already handling similar project for JAMB and WAEC that has eliminated similar risk to partner with them through PPP arrangement.

"And that PPP arrangement will be on Built Operate and Transfer. What are the terms of agreement? The contractor would be responsible 100 percent for the purchase and installation of every gadget that will be necessary to achieve that in all the 36 headquarters including FCT and in all local government headquarters as well as all orientation camps across the country.

"So, when we look at the cost of getting the equipment purchased and installing in all those strategic points, how will they recoup their investment since government is not injecting a penny?

They proposed N6,000 so we interacted with them that there is no way this should be on a very high side.

"But when they came up with the debt payback system they agreed with the bank. The amount and the interest they agreed, we discovered that if they couldn't get their money within 5 years, it will not be a good business for them, so what is the minimum or maximum we can agree to make them recoup their money on time?

"So in order to ask them to go through the normal process and see if the federal government will be able to adapt the process and finance it.

But in the process, the Public Procurement was contacted and they had a certificate of No Objection. And we discovered that Concessionaire Commission was not carried along whether there will be a better way of handling this type of issue.

" But we discovered that the only thing we could do is to get the cost of N6,000 reduced. So when we got that approved we summoned the NYSC DG and his team, they came.

"To say Nigerians should pay more than N6,000 is not possible, so they came with N4,500 and later they agreed for N4,000. So they will now be operating after installing the equipment for five years and later transfer the equipment because it is Build Operate and Transfer."

In his lead debate, Saleh frowned at the imposition of N4,000 on thousands of fresh graduates across the country, called for the intervention of the House to stop the extortion.
He maintained that "as laudable as the idea of sending call up letters through the internet may be, the decision requiring fresh graduates to cough out N4,000 to access the letters appears insensitive and exploitative."

Flee all appearances of evil.
You just need to push her off you and run away, she can shout for all you care, it'll be sorted out later. Don't come back to that house till you call another/other Lady(s) to go confront her.
Her mission is simple, to ruin your life and distort your God-given destiny.
