Why people would query an entrepreneur on how he does his business is beyond me. He is not your government, for God's sake. So now private businesses are subject to public accountability? I think your fury is misplaced here. He is not running a charity organisation. I am yet to hear him(or share holders) complain that they lost money in the course of that concert.

goldfish80: Hello, plz ƒoя educational purpose, how should a straight guy behave when he is kissed by α girl. Thanks in advance

I am not given you a licence to go about hitting your head while screaming ejibijibijibi like papa ajasco whenever you got lucky. He had the options to respond to either the kiss(a hot 1 4 dat matter) or the camera and guess what... your boy responded to the camera. Now that is gay-like.

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the party’s victory in last Saturday’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) area council elections as a testimony that it remains the pre-eminent party despite the much-orchestrated merger by opposition parties.

National Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh, said in a statement that the ‘woeful failure’ of the opposition in the elections is a demonstration of the fate that will befall them in 2015.

In the elections, PDP won in five out of the six area councils, a development Metuh celebrated as rejection of the opposition, saying it indicates they merely exist on the pages of newspapers and do not command true followership among the people.
“That we won in five out of the six area councils is a clear testimony that Nigerians have truly accepted the PDP and a demonstration of the fate that will befall the opposition in 2015”, the statement said.

The party said those behind the opposition parties can now see that they are merely chasing shadows as the FCT elections and others held recently have shown that Nigerians know that they have nothing to offer but desperately seek power for selfish reasons.

It recalled its sweeping victory in the Kano State House of Assembly bye-elections in February where it won over 80 percent of the votes in the two councils where the elections were held.

The leadership of the PDP commended the National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur for providing the leadership that has “continued to engender trust in the party” as the background of its electoral victories.

Metuh’s celebratory statement did not say if the recently-announced mega-merger, the All Progressives Congress, to which his statement referred, was listed on the ballot, given that it has yet to be registered as a political party.

Should this man commit suicide...blood in your hands!

Norin do you my niggi. Food na food. Na only mumu dey call am sontin else.

palamo: Hello house, I made a 3rd class in a course that didn't offer any prospects in Nigeria (zoology). Today I work in a multinational oil company and get paid in $! Never had any godfathers to help me but I have been lucky and blessed by the grace of God. Try and stop looking at a 3rd class degree as a disadvantage but look at it as a second chance to make a 1st class in the outside world. We just have to try and work harder and be more diligent in our daily lifes but most importantly, never look down on ourselves! All a 3rd class does is prevents you from applying for some jobs that need a 2:1 or a first class it doesn't show how dumb or smart you are. Develop and discipline yourselves, put in a little more effort, PRAY hard and always be willing to learn and great things can happen to you. Many of us that made 3rd classes were thought of as dreamers but remember, the foundations of every society were laid by men that had dreams and chased them and not by those that buried their heads in books and crammed them full of things that won't be used at all in real life! In essence, be the best you can be from now on!

Word! I am in agreement.

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan yesterday in Maiduguri, accused Borno State Elders of playing to the gallary over the activities of Boko Haram Islamic sect insurgency in the state, describing the situation as unfortunate.

Jonathan spoke during an interactive session with Borno State stakeholders at the Multi-Purpose Hall, Government House Maiduguri, in continuation of his two- day working visit to Borno and Yobe States, the epicentres of Boko Haram.

He was responding to requests by the Elders for the Federal Government to grant amnesty to the sect members as well as withdraw the military Joint Task Force, JTF from Maiduguri and other areas in the state during the second day of his working visit to Borno State..

President Jonathan lamented that none of the elders in the state had publicly condemned the killings and bombings being carried out by the sect members and advised them to put their ‘’house in order,’’ by talking to their children who had been causing havoc in the country to drop their arms against the country.

On the removal of JTF, Jonathan said, “If anyone of you (referring to Borno Elders) wants the Federal Government to withdraw JTF troops from the state, he should come and sign an agreement that if anybody is killed after signing the document, I will hold you responsible according to the law of the land; I assure you that before I go back to Abuja all the JTF troops will leave the state.

“The Boko Haram insurgency is reducing gradually in states like Bauchi, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe and Niger among others, but in Borno State the situation is increasing. It is unfortunate, and this is because you the elders refused to come out and condemn the activities of the sect who are your children. This is not a time to be playing to the gallery,” the President stated.

He equally told the Elders that, unless they put their house in order and talk to the sect members who are their children to lay down their arms and embrace peace, the Federal Government will not grant them amnesty, not to talk of withdrawing the men of the JTF.

None of the elders responded to the President’s challenge, but various speakers had tasked the Federal Government to remove all the bunkers/checkpoints and the JTF troops on the streets of Maiduguri, as well as grant amnesty to Boko Haram who have been terrorizing the state.

But Jonathan continued, “the types of weapons the Boko Haram are using are so sophisticated that the Police cannot contain the situation and that is why we had to bring JTF troops to face the challenge. No responsible government would spend its tax payers money on JTF, but when the situation warrants like in this case of Boko Haram, then we as government will not hesitate in spending our last kobo in order to bring peace.”

He further said that “even when I was contesting for governor of Bayelsa State which I won, I was always telling my supporters that I do not want any blood shed.

In fact, on my bill boards, it was stated ‘Don’t Kill’, and as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, if one soldier or security agent is killed by Boko Haram, it really pains me, and I will not condone such act. I will not celebrate the death of any JTF member or security agent anywhere in this country. So, please talk to your children who are members of the sect to lay down their arms for peace to reign.”

Commenting on job creation through agriculture, the President assured the people of the state that his administration would support the initiatives of Governor Kashim Shettima by partnering with him over the Chad Basin Development Authority and the Lake Chad Research Institute for the betterment of the state through enhancement in food security and income generation.

”My vision for this country is how to impact positively on the lives of every Nigerian; how to change this country by alleviating poverty and unemployment; make food available to the people, provide qualitative education, improve our power supply and make our waterways to be navigable. And all these will not be possible if we do not have peace,” he added.

Jonathan then reassured the people of the state that the Federal Government would assist Governor Shettima’s programmes, particularly his Youth Empowerment plans, adding that through such partnerships, all the schools, places of worship, markets and stalls destroyed by Boko Haram insurgency across the state would be rebuilt.

The forum had in attendance top politicians, traditional/religious leaders, academicians and diplomats from Borno, including an Elder stateman and fisrt Minister for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ali Monguno, former Governors Mohammed Goni, Ashiekh Jarma, Ali Modu Sheriff, Professor Nur Alkali, Borno PDP Chairman, Alhaji Baba Basharu, Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, House of Representative members, Borno State Executive Council members and members of the business community.

Those who spoke on the security challenges in the state included Professor Alkali, former Vice- Chancellor University of Maiduguri, Alhaji Basharu, Mohammed Tahir Monguno and Chairman, Borno House of Representative Caucus, Dr. Shettima Ali Monguno.

All the speakers, except Monguno called on the Federal Government to immediately withdraw the JTF troops from the state, alleging that their presence had aggravated the security challenges, as according to them, whenever the sect struck, the whole area would be cordoned off by the JTF and the next thing was for the security operatives to start killing innocent citizens and burning down their business structures.

But Monguno insisted in his speech, that withdrawal of the troops was not the solution to the lingering crisis, as according to him, “if not because of the presence of the JTF, I would not surrender my life to come to Maiduguri, or even attend this forum.”

Earlier, Governor Shettima who received the President during his courtesy call at the Council Chambers told him that the unfortunate insurgency spearheaded by the Jama’atu Ahlis Sunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad a.k.a Boko Haram had left in its wake a heavy death toll and destruction, pointing out that hundreds of human lives had been lost while property worth hundreds of millions of naira were destroyed, in addition to the unquatifiable losses occassioned by the crippling of businesses and other socio- economic activities.

According to Shettima, the current state of insecurity and deplorable state of affairs were not unconnected with the attempt to impose the opinion of a small group on the larger society, a situation which clearly abridged the freedom to freely hold and express ones opinion which is fundamental and inalienable in any given society.

He added that, as a society, the state has had its fair share of instability and even wars in its chequered history including the sacking of Birnin Ngazargamu by the jihadists in 1808, Rabi’s invasion and occupation in 1893 and the Maitasine riots of the 1980s.

The Governor further pointed out that in all these crises, destructive and vicious as they were, the wars did not degenerate into killing of innocent souls, targeting of public recreational centers, places of worships in a sustained and protracted manner, as Borno was sadly witnessing today.

He noted that the targeting of innocent and unarmed civilians regardless of their ethnicity, race and or religious beliefs was alien not only to our norms and culture, but to the fundamental doctrines of Islam.

However, Shettima said as a responsible government the state had refused to allow the situation deter his adminitration as he had embarked on a single minded pursuit of the developmental aspirations of their people.

”In spite of all the odds, we have not relented for a single moment in our determination to provide quality service for the people of Borno State in the areas of education, health, agriculture, water supply, roads, decent and affordable housing and general infrastructure among many others.

By the special grace of Allah we have worked day and night and judiciously utilized our resources for the greatest good of the greatest number of our people,” he added.

Shettima stressed that while his administration was ‘’indeed doing its best and intend to do even more in the days, months and years ahead to achieve its mission of re-inventing and re-engineering Borno, it is an open secret that the resources are severely limited.’’

He said that even in relatively stable times, scarce resource scarcity had been one of the state’s major problems, adding that, conflicts and strife and their unpleasant consequences had complicated the issue further.

He therefore thanked the President for the visit and solicited federal government’s assistance in his policies and programmes, particularly the fight against the poverty scourge, as according to him, the insurgency they are facing in the state and the north, are borne out of extreme poverty and social exclusivity.

Are people just getting to know about this tactics that have been used by the Lagos State Government for years. Lagos State Government is an arsonist government, period.

I didn't get anything from the state Gov when I got married to Eno, my calabar girl. Now ama divorce her and try other states to see what their govs. are capable of. This injustice is unacceptable.

Adanyebe: SO WERE IS THE GIRL IN QUESTION NOW?

How do you like state of emergency?

[quote author=haka_nai]^^^ That is because is established fact that PDP is boko-haram and Boko haram is PDP.That said how can they bite the finger that feeds them.Where can they cause problem apart from the rival camps? Atleast is known that they(BH) killed the late Borno state Gubernatorial aspirant of the ANPP.How many PDP members have died from BH?Abi how many members of the opposition parties have being caught as associating or supporting BH? how many? Didnt hear you! NON!!!!!![/quote]Why is it not happening in other non-PDP states such as Imo, Anambra and Ondo?

ilugunboy: Shame on all the peedeepee leaders that have not deem it fit to go to Borno to reassure the Nigerians living there.

Are Borno and Yobe PDP or APC states? Boko Haram has not been able to establish itself in any of the PDP states.

Your 2 APC states have been under attack for years and yet it took you this long to show solidarity. Na wa o.

It may also interest you to know that both Borno and Yobe are APC states. So, it is their failure. We all know how Kano, a PDP state is handling this issue.

All these state Universities sef. This kind of barbarism has no place in UNILAG. Nothing like this ever took place through out my 4 years at the Citadel of learning.

How dare you omit Rebecca (also spelled Rebekah), you no dey fear?
Now, sharap and listen.

The name Rebekah (sometimes also spelled Rebecca) has the specific meaning to tie firmly; to secure; to bind; to couple or join together; to ensnare.

Biblical origin

The name Rebekah has been around for centuries and is most commonly described as a 'biblical name' as the name is listed in the Bible. The biblical character of Rebekah is the wife of Isaac, who is the son of Abraham. Although the meaning of the name is rooted in a specific verb (to tie) and its variations, it has been widely debated as to the context and meaning of the name. Some scholars have suggested that it's meaning could go one step further than just the verb 'to tie'.

Exploring the meaning

As the name is applicable to women the name Rebekah could be defined in its most specific definition as the ensnaring or securing of a man by a woman with the use of beauty; literally to ensnare with beauty.

Others see the name Rebekah as a powerful name as the act of tying or binding can be very controlling and that control over another person is seen as a powerful sign, perhaps a sign of strength or control.

Further, the name can also be romanticized and defined as the joining or tying of two people; therefore making the definition in this context the act of connecting or binding two people together, potentially in marriage. This theory is further backed up by the wedding of Isaac and Rebekah in the Bible, as they were 'bound' or 'tied' to each other in marriage. Many agree that the wedding of Isaac and Rebekah in the Bible was the first time a veil was used in a wedding ceremony, and the veil is still used in modern weddings.

You are free to help him with the facts if you are capable enough...

You are yet to come up with a superior argument to counter his assertions.

With all the noise around/about Kim K, I decided to grace the show to see things for myself first hand. I was disappointed to see an everyday girl. My girlfriend couldn't help but burst into laughter when we left the show and headed for our car. She said that one thing is certain, that she is taller and hotter than Kim K. Before now, she had seen Kim K's home made s-e-x tape with Ray J and had concluded that she is very clumsy in bed. Ever since she saw Kim K in flesh and blood, she has been priding herself as being way ahead. "That b-i-tch ain't got nada on me", she boasted.
