Yes please. Reach out to NANS president so they hit on NDA because that's the only Fed. institution of learning still active. Govt go quick answer them if their body still complete.

sorry, not selling it for now, but we can do business.

It's a mack R-model

Immaculate4sure: @Pdaji let's have our discussion on the forum.

you gave your number to be called, now someone drops his to be called and you opt to discuss here. smh.

I have one anyway, where are you btw?

@ Op,
I wonder why you won't mention the church, you're covering them right, or it doesn't exist?

I dress the way I like to church and sometimes am told "your dressing is too simple", but, am not there to compare with others, it's only God I came to serve.
Self esteem has a lot to do here.

Have they one day turned your relative back because she didn't buy the clothe? If no, then she should learn to live within or below her means and tell people that's the right way to live. She may be the one struggling to be like them.

People who would always want to be like others end up living above their means and we all know where that leads them.

Did Ohakim really say that?
I mean, Ohakim of all people?
Ohakim the former governor?
Am thinking about that.

Why is it that they did not invade the nearest villages to steal supplies? Since the escapee volunteered to go search for water in the nearest village.
Just wondering.

I hope I didn't miss out anything here.

Topic reads "APC to split NNPC, end importation of fuel"

But an excerpt of the manifesto reads "APC pledged to ensure the emergence of modern modular refineries products and reduce importation of petroleum products."

my emphases on the bolded.

veraponpo: Bros, the B is Brazil not Britain. It is actually BRICS meaning Brazil, Russia,India,China and South Africa. They are world emerging economies. Britain and other EU countries are not there. These countries used to be called developing countries until recently that they actually moved out of others.

Sorry bro, a slip.

@ hotwax, emperor et al, sorry for that. my apologies

mascot87: Must you be a foool?

God bless you bro.

nobody is listening to such talks, time-wasting it is.

Terrorists seeking relevance! Have you been able to make all common thieves around you lay down their arms and stopped maiming people?

I am just thinking aloud here : "Is any of those written by Ogunlewe a lie?".

BRIC=Brasil, Russia, India, China
Is the bastard actually dead?
The only way he can prove he's alive is by sending out an 'undoctored' video message.

please what is the average cost of hotel accommodation in Nairobi?

Gulak is on point. You cannot disrespect the office of the president and expect to also be in total control of your state. who you be na?

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has spoken! It is now clear that most of president Jonathan's problems are caused by his aides who are unwittingly creating enemies for him and advising him wrongly. DavidChuksBlog has always been of the opinion that the President is a good man surrounded by a bad team. See more after the cut...




Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to beware of some of his aides who are making more enemies for him under the pretext of doing their jobs, even as he advised him to run an inclusive government in order to douse tension in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The ex-president was said to have offered the advice during one of the marathon meetings held on Wednesday, shortly after he returned from Ibadan for the continuation of the peace meeting he was having with the PDP governors in the presidential villa. Some of the governors and party chieftains, including some members of Jonathan’s kitchen cabinet, were in attendance.
Obasanjo was also said to have reconciled with Jonathan over the endless political feud concerning the 2015 poll after the latter reportedly tendered an unreserved apology to Obasanjo, who in turn vowed to discourage any aggrieved governor from defecting to the opposition.
The feud between the two have torn the PDP apart as some governors said to be loyal to the ex-president are the same “rebels” that are calling for the removal of Alhaji Bamnaga Tukur as the national chairman. They were also said to be asking for the vice president slot for one of them as a condition that could make them remain in the party.
According to a credible presidency source, both Jonathan and Obasanjo have met not fewer than four times over their differences and the one between the aggrieved PDP governors and Tukur. The source added that it was the process of restoring normalcy to the party that forced the president and Obasanjo to bury their differences in order to save both the party and the presidency from defeat come 2015 as the opposition regrouped under the aegis of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The source said, “Both President Jonathan and Obasanjo have been meeting in the last two weeks over the misunderstanding within the party. You will recall that some governors are fighting the chairman, Tukur, calling for his removal. Some are also fighting President Jonathan and, until a few days ago, both Jonathan and Baba Obasanjo too were not on the same page. All these are not helping us as a party. But I am happy to inform you that President Jonathan has apologised to Baba and he (Baba) has promised to ensure none of the aggrieved governors leave the party.”
According to him, “Baba (Obasanjo) did not mince words in telling President Jonathan the bitter truth. He told him clearly to beware of some of his aides who are making life difficult for him through their unguarded utterances that are making more enemies for him”.
Another source explained that the emergence of APC “is a blessing in disguise as it forced the two leaders to bury their differences and embrace peace since the opposition are exploiting the feud to generate relevance on the pages of newspapers. You would be hearing, 20 PDP governors are talking to us, 15 PDP governors are joining our party, but since the APC has been registered, how many governors have you heard threatening to join them?”
The source said Obasanjo has volunteered to talk to all the aggrieved governors to sheathe their swords and give peace a chance in the party since “we have no other party to go; there is no alternative to PDP”.


Presidency keeps mumBut efforts to get reaction from the presidency were abortive yesterday, as the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Dr Reuben Abati and special adviser to the president on political matters, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak did not pick several calls made to their phones and also failed to respond to text messages.


We’re not afraid of opposition - BabatopeIn a related development, former minister of transport, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, yesterday in Abuja said the PDP is not afraid of any opposition party and instead welcomes them on board and wishes them well since its leadership knows that, working together as a team, there is no party that could stop the party from retaining power come 2015.
Speaking exclusively with LEADERSHIP, Babatope said, “The PDP is not afraid of the APC, codeine, PDM or any party; we are the party to beat. We are only afraid of God and the masses who have consistently been voting PDP since 1999 and we would not let them down. We are going to retain power come 2015; President Goodluck Jonathan would record a landslide victory come 2015.”
According to him, “PDP would never underrate any political party, be it APC or PDM, but we are not afraid of them as well. Those that are threatening to quit the party should remain; there is no better party to the PDP. Where is Chief Audu Ogbeh today? He is a very brilliant politician but since he joined ACN, where do they put him? This is why we have been appealing to them to remain within the party but if they insist, let them go; the PDP would remain the biggest and the strongest party.”
He argued that parties all over the world, especially in the United States and Britain, have their trying moments too but “they resolved their differences without killing their parties. We have our differences, yes, but we would overcome it and once we overcome it, then, we would be able to prepare for the 2015 election and President Jonathan would perform better than he did in the 2011 election.”
Babatope also disclosed that a lot of actions are going on behind the scenes in the southwest with a view to reclaiming “our states back from the opposition and we would not fail. Our people are suffering under them and we would rescue them in the coming election beginning from Ekiti and Osun states. We lost those states as a result of disagreement and misunderstanding and we are working hard to put them behind us and reclaim back our states”.


Okupe, Jonathan’s worst enemy - Gov AmaechiRivers State governor and chairman, Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), Mr Rotimi Amaechi, has described the senior special assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on public affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, as the worst enemy of the president.
Amaechi stated this in a statement he issued in Port Harcourt yesterday in a reaction to comments Okupe made in a live radio programme in Abuja last Saturday.
In the statement, his chief press secretary, David Iyofor, said: “Again, on Saturday August 17, 2013, presidential assistant on public affairs Dr Doyin Okupe on a radio programme continued his grossly irresponsible, repugnant and contemptuous, albeit feckless, mission of denigrating and disparaging the person and office of the governor of Rivers State and the chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum(NGF), the Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
“In the past few weeks, we elected to ignore scurrilous statements from Okupe, as we do not wish to, wittingly or unwittingly, avail him with a sparring partner as he strives, though fecklessly yet again, to elevate his act from an attack puppy to an attack dog. Moreover, like most Nigerians, we believe that Okupe is irrelevant in the political equation that no serious-minded person should take seriously. Over time, his comments and statements are akin to some sort of notice-me monkey dance in front of his boss and his band of cheerleaders.
“However, it has become pertinent to alert/notify the populace and Mr President that the likes of Okupe represent the very worst of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration. With an aide and adviser like Okupe, President Jonathan certainly does not need any enemies. Indeed, Okupe is more than a handful. Pray, what kind of advice will an aide/adviser like Okupe give to Mr President? The earlier Mr President purged the Presidency of characters like Okupe, the better for us all.
“Okupe sank to a new low when he falsely and indecorously claimed that Governor Amaechi used the police to harass, intimidate and punish people unjustly and could not provide one instance or any evidence to back up his claims. He bragged about some phantom text messages from ‘ordinary people’ whose families have suffered grave injustice in the hands of Amaechi and, yet again, did not tell us the content and senders of the text messages. What does Okupe take Nigerians for? The phantom text messages exist only in the devious mind of Doyin Okupe.
“The presidential spokesman then sank even deeper as he condescendingly descended to become the chief advocate and defender-in-chief of the commissioner of police in Rivers State, Mbu Joseph Mbu, who the National Assembly has resolved categorically should be removed from Rivers State.
“Okupe’s warped argument is that the call for the redeployment of Mbu from Rivers State by the state government is because Mbu has refused to be a ‘tool in the hands of Amaechi’. Pray, Okupe, if that is the case and Mbu is such ‘a professional with dignity’, why then did the House of Representatives and the Senate (who sent a committee to Rivers State to investigate the issues) pass two separate resolutions calling for the immediate removal of Mbu from Rivers State? If Okupe’s trend of agbero logic is anything to go by, his likely response would be that it’s because Mbu refused to be a tool in the hands of the National Assembly!
“With comments like that coming from a presidential aide and spokesman, Nigerians now have a better insight into why Mbu is still in Rivers State and continues to act with impunity, in spite of the call by eminent Nigerians and the resolution of the National Assembly that Mbu should be removed.”

Wow! this is really stirring the hornet's nest.
But the truth is, in Nigerian politics, anything can happen the next minute. A Nigerian politician may tell you he's not interested in this or that, please do not believe him with your heart, at least until he makes good his word.
I tell you, whatever you dream/imagine, can happen in Nigerian politics, just think it.
But I foresee a cleaner politics in Nigeria, where the ecletorates will have a say, where politicians will only waste their money giving bribes, where people will realised they are being used as panws by these politicains and stand against it. If only men of integrity will be in charge of some positions, INEC say, we'll be heading there.
If you ask me, I'll say others should emulate Peter Obi "promise" to quit active politice after two tenures, we're not sure if he'll keep to that yet.
God bless Nigeria

3ace: Please o, I need someone to clarify this for me. I recently noticed the use of "molestation" instead of "molesting" in some reports including the one above. Is the usage correct or is it just an error?

meeehn, I was wondering!
The truth is, the writer copied from another person and thought it was right. This is not the 1st time I saw it on nairaland, but waved it as a typo. But this one is no typo cause of the repetitions. It's wrong use of the word "molestation". The sound alone sef...

Small scale quarry company establishment would be an excellent business for now.

scipher: FG done settle you abi

Pally, shiishi I no see. Am just being honest.

@ PapaBrowne,
or wetin be your name again, this post put smile on my face. You are so so right. I totally agree with you. I think both of them really. God is helping Jonathan. Jonathan is really working. Am not a politician but I always confess what I see. Even the power is improving small by small, even though we want it big by big. I still have faith that it will happen big by big.
Bro, you just earned my friendship this morning.
I pray that every thing, human or demon, mammy water or pappy water, that wants to make this nation ungovernable for Goodluck, shall become crippled and live to declare the good works of Goodluck, he shall become whole the moment he repents and confesses his evils.
May God help Goodluck in Jesus name Amen.

You stoop to conquer.
I guess GEJ is doing that by swallowing his pride and going to visit OBJ.
Amaechi should learn a little humility, it's essential in Nigerian politics, even if it's quasi.

is "roforofoism" also english?

It's possible they are calling for Biafra's existence afterall. Na from clap dem dey enter dance.

Great write-up, good command of written english, true talk to me.
Inasmuch as I do not support 5 impeaching against 27, or whatever number it is, I do not support Chid Loyd's actions.
I also agree that Wole Soyinka is not entirely objecting. Judgement is not passed this way. Condemn every condemnable act.
Little things bring reputable people to disrepute, just as bad decisions make wealthy men paupers.

@ frankels,
You just confessed you didn't finish reading the write-up, but the writer did not dispute that Amaechi and Jang got 19 and 16 votes respectively.

This writer sounds responsible and respectful. I like associating with these kind of people.

@ ganase2
Really,this is cool.
This is one of the reasons I dislike Lagos. It makes me spend long hrs on some bus stops when am on a casual movement in Lagos back then (spent some one month there in 2007). Most times, I biked. I once biked from V.I to Mazamaza after spending more than an hr and half there, waiting for many buses to come at a time and as well as passenger number attrition. But people kept trooping out in their numbers. I needed to catch a bus to Calabar. Was frustrated, I got one aboki to take me there. My firends were like, "how could you do that?"


@ ITbOmb
Is this picture a photograph or drawn? it's really funny.

"Ogunderu,
and his co-plotters, Kabir Adenuga, Benneth
Oluwadaisi and Kenny Rasaq-Lawal took the
daring action on that afternoon when Chief
Ernest Shonekan and his fidihe (interim)
government was battling almost fruitlessly to
salvage the floundering image of a nation
then in turmoil"

Guys, I encourage us to always pay attention to details when we read if we must make comments. The incident took place while Shonekan was president, Abacha took over after it.




" We were poorly fed. We could
neither speak Hausa nor French and
nobody spoke English to us,’ Lawal had"

like d boys had it rough earlier in captivity. But when they learnt to speak some french, dey startef being 'well fed'
