You are wrong and commented out of ignorance. Over 200 houses for widows is not few coming as a pet project. No Government official has ever done that and we should commend her for such pet project.

Vanguard is an anti Okorocha media outfit

By Chidi Nkwopara, Owerri


AFTER years of mourning the loss of their life partners and
toiling to make ends meet, many widows in Imo State
presently have reason to smile as they count their
blessings, thanks to the wife of the state Governor, Nneoma
Nkechi Okorocha. Identifying shelter as an essential need of
the widows, the Imo First Lady had since 2011 under the
auspices of her “She Needs a Roof Project, SNARP”, built,
furnished and handed over more than 172 units of two-
bedroom bungalows for indigent widows and orphans, who
do not have roofs over their heads.
Some other SNARP buildings for these vulnerable persons,
are still under construction in all the 27 local council areas
of Imo State.


Apart from SNARP, Nneoma Okorocha also embarked on
her “Nneoma Kitchen”, through which she reached out and
touched lives via feeding, clothing the poor and visiting
motherless babies and other charity homes across the
state. Vanguard Metro, VM, gathered that the programme is
designed to rekindle the spirit of being our brother’s keeper.
Optimal potentials

Mr 'not-ignorant', it is safe to assume there are only 200 indigent widows in Imo state. What about the indigent handicapped? or the indigent widowers. or the indigent orphans. I am supposing you have the real myopia...the result is bad leadership. There are a several other ways to ensure that ALL benefit from govt interventions....at least create the environment that accommodates such instead of 'candy sharing' to a few.

I'm so glad people are beginning to wake up. You use money belonging to all to change the life of one, and some people are clapping?
Its a seemingly good deed, but very very wrong if you look at the big picture.
The function of govt is to ensure every citizen is catered for. Instead of sharing houses like candy to the lucky few who is a friend to 'powers that be', or a friend to the friend of 'powers that be', why not embark on schemes that ensure every citizen has an opportunity to own theirs.
This media circus must be discouraged by everyone!

Is there any place that Jesus said we should pray to die early? And why didnt Jesus instruct his disciples to die when he died?

u misunderstand the point. Nobody have asked u to pray for death. the issue here is that christians view death as a bad thing. They believe christians should never die early, that death(physical) is a result of sin. And one's death when he has a young family is an abomination.

my point however is, if a christian claims to hold God's word in truth, he/she should be lest concerned about when or how death comes knocking. instead he/she should be more interested in how many lives he led to God with that eagerness to ultimately leave this world in order to b with God.

Worldly things like what my children will eat and who will pay their school fees should be the last thing on a christian's mind.

who feeds or clothes the birds in the air afterall.....

eph12:
As a christian is it God's wish for Christians to wish to die early?

@what age did Jesus die? Was he worried about his mum & dad? Recall his comment when his parents stated they had been looking for him when he was teachin the elders. The point is, if u do bliv in the words u claim to hold in high esteem u will care less abt those worldly worries. Ur target wil , heaven n going as soon as possible too.

honourhim:
We pray for long life because you have your children to train, you have other members of your family to train, you have other people to impact in their lives. You are contributing to the growth of the society. If i die will you train my children? How many fatherless children have you trained now to start with?
Stop reasoning like a fool.

But as a Christian, shouldn't u beliv God wil cater for them?

If she isn't called, it definitely wouldn't be based on the text. The only thing that text would do is form a notion based on its poor composition. If she is called for another interview, she better impress.

The wife is a suspect....

RZArecta:
.....the complainant and his sympathisers had threatened to kill the suspect.....


So a foreigner (Niger republic) threatens to kill a Nigerian citizen yet the Nigerian is arrested instead ? Intrepid. Just the type of blatant rights Libyan herdsmen have over Nigerian farmers where even govt troops provide them with protection

For any idíot who would quote me stúpidly, the mans "offense" is too minor for this nonsense. It's even less than two fighting wahala and could have been sorted out at police station. No judge would be happy to handle this case when his/her docket is filled with more important urgent cases. The Nigerien should rather be arrested for threat to life as attested to by the police authorities themselves

My brother, I jus taya for this country. U arrest someone just to "protect" him? Na wa!!!

I stopped after your first sentence. Argue your point without insults. You're obviously the one without common sense. You have no knowledge of NPL and you're criticising someone for the same thing! So you're waiting to be a public servant before you learn it? That's eye service bro.

The NPL is a borefest, and you can't force anyone to like it just because it's Nigerian. It is called false sense of patriotism! You should get it, since you don't have a thick skull!

Fake it till u mean it.
There are things you'd get to understand as you grow older and get to assume a leadership role.
Those that understand have already.
I rest.

Sirmuel1:
How many times dem dey show the eyinmba for tv??

No proper arrangements....lack of maintenance....everything sucks!

even the commentator go dey provoke you!

Take a look at EPL for example...they have proper documentation, they arrange all fixtures many weeks before the beginning of a season, and they follow it accordingly.....perfect timing, proper arrangements, everything go just dey perfect.

Come to Nigeria, 4pm fit be 4:30 or 5pm due to traffic jam and other useless excuses.
Abeg, we have a long way to go in this country, until then......Up Barca!

Agreed! I wish I could post a pix of national stadium in the 80's. A local fixture n d stadium was filled to capacity. The truth is our football has declined...which is why our public servants or people that by virtue of their position n the followership dey enjoy shd be seen selling our own. The other day it was fashola cutting his manchester united designed birthday cake publicly-in his office!! Who will sell ours if not us?

slap1:
Who is the coach of Warri Wolves? I'm sure you don't know him without Google. What is the name of their goalkeeper? Captain?

Patriotic thinking! Some of you just have a false sense of patriotism.

Common sense u don't have. A public officer at that level should display some patriotism and promote his/her culture and values (or the country/institution he/she represents) to the outside world. If I work for pepsi and I drink cocacola in the confines of my home, no biggie. But u can't work for pepsi and be caught celebrating cocacola publicly-(I hv used a private institution to make it sink into ur thick skull better). For a country's rep to the outside world, she should be seen publicly celebrating her own! Geezzz....what do people learn in schools these days?

slap1:
What's your point?

Arsenal has fans in Japan, Italy, France, Spain, etc.

Abeg.

What happened to celebrating/promoting Enyimba , Warri wolves and the rest of them! Oh! U r waiting for Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt or any member of the British cabinet to show off an enyimba Jersey abi? Colonial thinking!!!!

This country sha... When will public servants stop the celebration of things foreign publicly at the detriment of our own!!! Too bad!

At least this 'prophesy' isn't from 2013!

sweetgala:
Also it would be constitutionally illegal for NASS leadership to enjoy immunity while other senators don't. They have an equal right and the leadership do not enjoy any form of veto

Its unfortunate they even contemplated such in the first place. How can I blame them? Blame those nigerians who voted them in after collecting 1k at the polling centre.

fearless2014:
Comprehension problem
He said heads & not all of them, Mark was president for 8yrs alone.

See how u are displaying ignorance proudly! A senator can be senate prez indefinitely as long as he remains in the house and as long as his colleagues choose to vote for him as such. Read more, speak less!

Location?

Do u have infinix hotnote2 and how wld u deliver to peeps outside ur location.

Sad reminder that we live in a s***h***.

edoyad:
We have fraudsters and supporters of fraudsters here on NL

I don't understand you oh! He committed a crime, he did the time. So how does that affect his getting such a job esp since the job doesn't involve management of public funds. He didn't even hide the fact that he had done time. Asides that, u don't throw away d baby with the bath water. I have always postulated that corruption thrives because the banks directly or indirectly aid it. Afterall nobody carries huge cash from nigeria to buy property overseas(except of cuz those highly placed govt officials e.g the arms issue(south africa). How then are these properties purchased abroad? They should instead investigate his claims. Simple.

Deen77:
I like your point, but my point is CAN should obtain court's judgment too like d Muslim instead of making noise.

Beautiful. Yes, by law CAN shd go to court. But I think its wrong for the court to make such proclamation in a secular state. If everyone leaves his/her religion @ home, do u think there wld b so much religious violence? We need to understd that various forms of religions exist...even devil worship. So if u allow one religion to exist, u open the doorways for everyother type.

Hamzatfresh:
Islam is a way of life, we practice our religion wherever we are. Get that into your head!

Go to an islamic country and practice ur religion in their islamic public schools. Nigeria is a secular state and as such all public institutions are secular. Get that into ur religiously tainted brain.

Coming to school naked can never be same as coming to school with at least a cloth covering your body. One is right while the other one is rightfully wrong. Even though everybody have every right to go around naked, but the society don't accept it, the ethics of moving around forbade it and morality frowns at it. Look my friend, immorality is not welcomed anywhere in the world; not in your churches neither in my mosques.

This is exactly why this country is plagued with religious violence. Who gave u the authority to state what is moral or immoral. Do u know that there r religions that practice nudity? Do u also know that in some countries it is legal to be topless in public? Anyways the abv isn't the point. If u want to go to a public sch, u wear ur 'public' sch uniform. If u want to go to a 'religious sch' u wear whatever that religion chooses as its uniform. Keyword PUBLIC. You don't display ur own religious madness in public space..and if u choose to do so, then u shd accomodate those whose religion permits them to be naked. Simple!

vedaxcool:
What a useless point, as the law views nudity as a crime due to fact that it infringes on the rights of others by making them see what they consider irritating

If u had read what I wrote keenly, u wld have known that what u pointed out isn't the crux of my post. But don't worry, I appreciate everyone's opinion, now matter how unintelligent it is.

I don't understand this CAN. Like what is their business if the girls wear hijabs in their respective schools? Are they wearing the hijabs on anybody's head? So if my daughter today wears hijab to school, how's that anybody's goddamn business? They say live and let live. Nobody said the CAN kids shouldn't wear church ropes or whatever they want to wear as long as they don't expose their unclothedness, but nobody has any right to stop a young Muslim girl from wearing her hijab, nobody.

If nobody forces anybody to wear hijabs, I don't understand why somebody will say other people who feel very comfortable with a hijab on their heads shouldn't put it on. People should learn to mind their goddamn businesses please

But u just said ''as long as they don't expose their unclothedness''! So what is ur business if one decides he/she is comfortable with his/her unclothedness? My point..leave ur religion at home!!!

This was exactly what I asked @ladyG. Someone told me that once u have a blood relative there,u have a higher chance of 'disappearing'. In which case they are encouraging people to lie in their application. How else do u explain one getting an unnecessarily unfair assessment simply becuz u hv a relative there?

Both r more of the same. I'd rather sit @ home! We need to look inward however. Change isn't one good man over 150million bad people. We all need to change at our own level. Secondly, we need to restructure our party system so that they don't keep throwing up mediocres leaving d electorate no choice but to vote one of the 'rubbish'.

LadyGuinivere:
1. No u mustnt stay with family. 2. No , u mustnt apply for a migrant visa 3 . No , u mustnt end up in the state you stated. I have never done so

Thanks dear.

@ladyG. We applied for a visit visa (my wife and I) n our interview comes up in abt a week. However I need some clarification. My wife has a sister residing there legally, and we indicated such on the application, though we do not intend going to see her as we have booked a hotel in another state. Would that be an issue? Secondly in situations where one has a sibling there, can one still apply for a non-immigrant visa? Cuz I tot I read somewhere on this thread that someone had her non-immigrant visa request turned down cuz she applied for that instead of an immigrant visa (something like that). 3. Must one always have to go tru the stated poe each time one visits the US thru out the validity of the visa given - cuz there seem to be much emphasis on the poe.
