Frank farmer from Whitney Houston's my bodyguard. I really liked his role in the movie.I think marriage has lost it's meaning in the west.

I think a law should be made for couples to make per nuptial compulsory and vows should be renewed every 3 years to know if they still want to continue or break up.
Yes, "The bodyguard " was a classic movie back then.

There are similarities in the Kwa Language continuum e.g

Orisha/Oosha (Yoruba)= Oosa (Bini)= Oritshe (Itsekiri) = Oliseh (Ika) = Olisa (Igbo)

The languages only appear very different when the shared/similar words are combined with non-shared/dissimilar words.

For instance,

Olisa + Debe = Olisadebe (Igbo)
Oosa + Debe= Osadebe (Ika/Igbo)

Oritsa+ jan fo = Oritshajafo (Itsekiri)
Orisha + jen fo= Orishajenfo (Yoruba)

richmond500:
please guys attend to this question pls.

If I was sent to Borno camp, is it true that I will be automatically redeployed to any state of my choice.
Truth is I do not want to go to either of the NW or NE states, so I want to chose Borno which could increase my chances to redeploy back to a nearer state.

I live at the far end of southern Nigeria and I like to save cost in everything, if I am in a closer state, I could save all those money I'll spend on transportation going to thise far northern state and back to my state.

I just want to know if it is very easy to redploy from Borno
During my NYSC days, if you are posted to Borno state, you will go to Kano orientation camp.
In the camp, you can apply to be redeployed citing insecurity reason, NYSC will redeploy you to another state at the end of the orientation camp.

Good day nairalander.

Please I need your advice mostly for those from or are resident in calabar.

I have stayed in pH for over 30yrs( my place of birth) and I have tried my best to see that I get a better life but myself but my efforts seems like I ain't doing anything,

I am already 36yrs no wife and no good job and it's making me depress every given day

My parent need to reap the good seed they sowed in my na.

At this point I'm made to believe I wasn't meant to make it in pH.

My reason for the thought of relocation

1) I wanna start a new life in a different environment where nobody knows me
2) I can comfortably do some(legitimate) job I was shy or a shame of doing here as well as growing my life from small
3)I am from Akwan Ibom state and my wish has been to marry a calabar girl

But I don't know anyone there but I just wanna leave this pH,

I just have this conviction that everything will work out fine.


I need a better life I have dreamt of.

Please advice me
How do I go about it.
NB: schooled in Uniuyo which also made it not an option for me because I was very popular in school and school politics.



Please I need your advise
Don't just view.
Which set in Tucker's Republic? Your department?
I reside in PH too
Why do you want to leave PH for calabar with no job guarantee ?

Metrix147:
Abia State House of Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon. Chinedum Orji has been impeached, ABN TV reports.

He was impeached on Tuesday at about 9am.

About 18 members of the Assembly signed for the impeachment with exception of four persons. They include, Ginger Onwusibe, Munachim Alozie, Solomon Akpulonu and Kelechi Onuzuruike.

Hon. Chukwudi Apugo (Umuahia East), had moved the motion for the impeachment and was seconded by Hon. Okey Igwe ( PDP, Umunneochi).

Details are still sketchy as at the moment of this report but may however not be unconnected with alleged unwillingness of the Speaker to commence impeachment proceedings against the state governor, Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu.

Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Ifeanyi Uchendu representing Ohafia South confirmed the impeachment to ABN TV but did not disclose other information.

Rt. Hon. Orji, son of the former Governor Theodore A. Orji had lost his bid to represent Ikwuano/Umuahia federal constituency in the House of Representatives.

Details soon.

Education › Re: University Of Abuja VC Abdul-rasheed Na'allah Increases School Fees To N225,000 by sageb: 12:54pm On May 02, 2023
Msntv:
The management of the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) has Increases School Fees for Undergraduates to N82,000 per year or N225,000 per session being asked for academic programmes in Arts or Medicine respectively, The VC Professor Abdul-Rasheed Na'Allah said the increment was necessary because UNIABUJA is determined to provide for our dear Students a standard education that is respected globally. According to information made available to MYSCHOOLNEWS, UNIABUJA management said and I quote ''The University of Maiduguri and the University of Ilorin and the Federal University Lokoja etc, all have charges more than your UofA, even while they are not Abuja where costs of goods are crazy''

REVIEW OF FEES: MESSAGE FROM OUR VICE-CHANCELLOR

My dear Students,

One thing you can trust your Vice- Chancellor for is that I will never take you for granted. Your University wants the whole world for you. I do not want anyone to be greater and more important than the great UofA students, and sometime it needs a lot of sacrifice to achieve this ambition!

The issue of charges is a Governing Council affairs and the Council does not toy with it whatsoever. A committee had been working on it for almost a year now, taking into consideration the terrible ever rising inflation, and looking also at charges in sister federal universities. Provost of Health Sciences, Deans of all faculties interacted with their department heads and made presentation to the committee one by one, discussing charges proposals that would be reasonable to ensure that every practical experience needed in every academic programme in their faculties can be provided, and every reagent was costed and step by step the committee considered the minimum charges possible to ensure that your University is in a position to give you a credible experience as students to enable you graduate with knowledge, power and pride.

It is unthinkable for the University of Abuja Management to accept that because some people did not go to American University in Yola or Nile-Turkish University in Abuja where they pay millions of naira per academic year as tuition, that those people should be condemned to a second class education.

Our goal at the UofA is a world -class education and even with N82,000 per year or N225,000 per session being asked for academic programmes in Arts or Medicine respectively, the UofA is determined to provide for our dear Students a standard education that is respected globally.

The Committee that worked on the charges, under the leadership of the University Bursary, included Students Affairs Unit, Student UNION Government and other stake holders from across the management.

My dear Students, you will agree with me that getting materials needed for education is one of the most daunting tasks for educational institutions. These charges being introduced reflect the serious national inflation and the UofA's determination that our students cannot and must not receive second class education!

Look around the campus, we are creating computer laboratories, we are developing Sports Arena and Indoor Sports Hall, we are upgrading the University Library ensuring that both physically and virtually students can access library materials, we are providing counselling and career services to students, we are employing our own students and student workers are becoming the norm on campus of the great UofA, we are strengthening student mentoring programme on campus, the face of our campus is changing whatever part of campus you go.

Just think for a minute, much as some people want students to insist on status quo and cause violence and distrust because of the rise in charges, you know that your University has not stopped improving your standard and providing the services required more than ever before.

Many students now get funds for undergraduate research work from the Centre for Undergraduate Research, the Centre for Entrepreneurship is working hard with the University Management to create Incubation where students as they graduate and need help would get the help they need to get their companies on a strong footing, and the list is truly very long.

The University of Maiduguri and the University of Ilorin and the Federal University Lokoja etc, all have charges more than your UofA, even while they are not Abuja where costs of goods are crazy! Yet they go about academic session peacefully and making progress.

My dear Students, the University Management is about to advertise for scholarship programmes to be instituted on campus for needy students and for students who demonstrate exceptional skills and brilliance. Help is under way for those who need help, and truly your University will not leave you without help! I also here appeal to those UofA students whose parents are well-to-do to encourage their parents to institute scholarship at this University to help your colleagues who might be needy, or target scholarship to women or specific academic discipline or even general cause, and they can name such scholarships after themselves, their parents or any person of their interest.

Finally, I want to appeal to you not to join any gangs that would want to create violence on campus due to the increase in fees!

Some people who are instigating students don't have their children here and would not ask their own children, if they have them at the UofA, to lead violence.

The repercussion is swift and merciless. If anyone is caught anywhere destroying anything or simply disturbing the peace of our campus, I promise you I will descend heavily on such a person by showing him or her a way out. It will pain me to take such action but trust me I will do so. And those faceless people who might not be our students and are being sponsored from outside, some former students, should just think for a moment what the UofA has turned into in its merge to becoming world class. We are ready to meet anyone and discuss as civilised people but we are also ready to keep the peace no matter what!

This is a tough time in our country and no right thinking person would abandon dialogue to violence. Management is ready, I must say this again, to continue to dialogue with students while the new semester continues. Some people are not happy that the UofA is moving on where some Universities are speeding backward in reverse. Those people don't want our academic calendar to continue to achieve the level of success it has achieved with the great UofA students graduating regularly and on time, despite recent lecturers strike and despite the corona pandemic lock down before it.

The Portal would be opened for students to start registration. The University will not send anyone away from classes due to delay in course registration. The four months of this semester will be open for students to register courses as they are able to pay, so that no pressure is put on any student or any parent. However a few weeks before the end of this semester the Portal will close for good and anyone who fails to register their courses would have forfeited their studentship for the academic year. Please take this opportunity and continue to have faith in your University. You will NEVER regret it!

I like to thank the fees committee for the important efforts in putting this together and I commend Student Affairs Unit, the Student UNION Government, the Safety Unit, the Provost and the Deans and the HODs, and all the other stakeholders for being a partner in progress in the UofA's march to greatness.

See you around and thank you again!

Abdul-Rasheed

Tofax:
Witches warn against scuttling Tinubu’s inauguration


…Invites Dino Melaye for counsel

White Witches and Wizards Association of Nigeria, yesterday, urged aggrieved politicians not to scuttle the inauguration of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on May 29 at the Eagle Square, Abuja.

The group also said Tinubu will be provided with no fewer than 300 witches and wizards to ensure that no harm comes his way, adding that they are unhappy about the manner in which politicians have conducted themselves since Tinubu was announced as the winner of the February 25 presidential poll.

Speaking to newsmen in Calabar, the group’s spokesman, Dr. Okhue Oboi, said they care about the unity of the nation and would safeguard it.

He said: “We welcome Tinubu back to the country. Recall that Tinubu emerged the winner at our group’s spiritual presidential election held about two months ago before the terrestrial February 25 presidential election. Now, we have reviewed the volatile developments in the country. We urge the aggrieved parties to give peace a chance because resorting to self-help will do more harm than good to the polity. There is no reason for Tinubu to be afraid because all the campaigns of calumny mounted against him are mere distractions. We are currently cleaning and detoxifying the Abuja environment where Tinubu will operate from.

“What Tinubu needs now is prayers of good health and long life from all Nigerians so he could deliver on his Renewed Hope promise for better life for all.”

Oboi, who spoke on the forthcoming governorship election in Kogi State, said the group has met with the three major tribes in the state and have aggregated their demands.

He said: “We have met with the Igala, Ebira and Yoruba population in the state. We met Igala people in Idah, Ebira people in Obehira and Yoruba people in Kabba and listened to them. We advise Dino Melaye to see us if he is desirous of realising his governorship dream. If he listens to our advice, he will laugh because the trees and waters of the confluence state will vote for him regardless of whether Governor Wike supports him or not.

“It will be in Melaye’s interest to see us too so he can smile. If he fails to see the witches and wizards, he will regret it because he will not win the election.”

Christianity Etc › Re: How Christians Can Make Their Tithes And Offerings Bring The Desired Results by sageb: 12:00pm On Apr 30, 2023
MasterJayJay:
THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHE.

Introduction: If your pastors say giving the needy, widows, orphans 10% of your income is not tithe, that you must pay it to him, then you are attending a business centre, not a church.

Malachi is the favourite book most pastors use to preach tithe. And it is very obvious, they use it because it contains a curse for those who don't pay it. Therefore, it is the 'best' verse used to brainwash Christians.

If you want to preach tithing, preach all verses related to it. Most of these men of God know the other verses but the only one they preach to their audience is Malachi. The sheep they are leading are even lazy to read their own bibles to see the truth for themselves. Note that quarter of truth is no truth, truth must be whole. Don’t add, don't remove.

Tithing is an Old Testament concept, just like circumcision and animal sacrifice. Things Christians were meant to abide to have validations from New testament after death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nowhere tithe was clearly instructed in the New Testament after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The New Testament focuses on giving without compulsion. 2 Corinthians 9:7 captured it very well “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver".

If you believe in tithing, then you should see other verses of the bible to know how it was applied thousands of years ago. Tithes were not for gentiles, it was for the Jews. Tithes were for the Levites, descendants of Levi. How many of your Pastors that preach Malachi to you are descendants of Levi?

There is a particular portion of the bible most pastors will never preach to you, and that can be found in Deut 14.22-29. Tithe was instructed to be given to the strangers, orphans, widows etc. How many pastors can boldly tell their members to give their tithes to widows and those in need? In same old testament, they were instructed to eat their tithes. How many pastors can tell you to eat your own tithe?

Conclusion, if you want to pay tithe, that's your choice. But don't use outdated and obsolete verses like the one found in Malachi to threaten people. Are some verses outdated? Animal sacrifices were allowed in the Old Testament. After Jesus Christ paid for our sins, it made animal sacrifices to be outdated, and that includes tithes too.

Giving is good, but should never be under compulsion in the name of tithe.
Apt revelation
Politics › Re: Senate President Race: Akpabio Square Up Against Kalu by sageb: 5:40pm On Apr 29, 2023
001Lagos:
The battle for the number three citizen, the Senate Presidency of the 10th Senate now appears to be between the Southeast and the Southsouth geopolitical zones.


Over the past couple of days, the call for the Senate President to be a Christian from either the Southeast or Southsouth has gained significant momentum.

This latest development has increased the chances of Sen Orji Uzor Kalu and Sen Godswill Akpabio, who are from the Southeast and Southsouth zones, respectively.


DAILY POST looks at the chances of the two aspirants and the intrigue within the ruling party.

The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the president-elect, Bola Tinubu are expected to decide on the zoning of the offices. There have been countless meetings at the residence of the president-elect on the zoning of the offices.


DAILY POST learnt that the deliberations have been divided between those calling for the inclusion of the Southeast and those calling for reward based on the outcome of the presidential election.

Those opposed to Kalu argued that his inability to deliver votes for Tinubu during the presidential election should count against him.

Kalu polled 30,805 votes to win the Abia North-senatorial district election; however, Tinubu only managed to poll 8,914 votes in the entire Abia State.


Akpabio on the other hand delivered 132,683 votes, a tally that is more than the 115,401 votes he garnered in his senatorial district election.

Some loyalists also pointed to the primary election where Kalu backed Senate President Ahmad Lawan for the APC ticket, while Akpabio was the first presidential aspirant to step down and endorsed Tinubu during the primary election in June 2022.

These are the two main talking points that have shaped the conversation on the choice of the Senate President.

It would be recalled that the APC Governors recently sent a memo to the president-elect on the appropriate zoning of the offices. The governors stated that contribution to the presidential election must be a major factor in zoning.


In the memo, governors faulted the voting pattern of the southeast, noting that the region exhibited “exclusionary electoral conduct”.

“The South-east contributed the least to Asiwaju’s victory, consistently exhibited the most exclusionary electoral conduct since the advent of the Fourth Republic, and yet also feels entitled to the Senate Presidency,” it reads.

The APC governors went further to state there is a need to signal to the South-east in order to ensure “adequate deterrence for exclusionary electoral conduct.”

Many believe that the language of the Governors shows that they are leaning toward the South-south zone.

If the South-east loses out in the race for the Senate President, there is a possibility that the region will equally lose out on the Speaker and the Deputy Senate President due to zoning.

However, DAILY POST learnt that other voices are pushing for the Senate President to be zoned to the South without micro-zoning and that the Speaker should be zoned to the North without micro-zoning to any region.

Head to head

Both Akpabio and Kalu have corruption allegations they are carrying. The former is facing an investigation concerning over N108 billion alleged misappropriation during his time in office.

Also, as the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, he has been linked to the alleged corruption that happened in the Niger Delta Development Commission. It would be recalled that Akpabio was accused of corruption by the former Managing Director of NDDC, Joi Nunieh.

Akpabio subsequently appeared before the House during the N81 billion probe of the NDDC by the House Committee on Niger Delta. The probe produced the infamous “Off your mic” moment.

Meanwhile, Kalu was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment on 5 December 2019. The judgement was subsequently voided by the Supreme Court in May 2020 and ordered a retrial.

After the pronouncement, Kalu was subsequently released from prison and he returned to the Senate.

If the race is thrown open, both aspirants will have to rely on their connections in their previous party, the PDP for support.

In the last 72 hours, the two have recently met with the president-elect separately. But they must show the capacity to reach out to senators outside their party. The minority parties in the Senate have a combined strength of 50 lawmakers.

The recent visit of Atiku Abubakar to the House of Kalu has already set tongues wagging within the APC. Although Atiku was there to visit the former Abia Governor on the death of his wife, the timing of the visit is raising eyebrows.

The PDP is divided between Atiku and G5 camps; however, going by the outcome of the 2023 election, the G5 lost several seats in the Senate race. PDP lost ground in Abia, Enugu, Oyo and Benue.

On the other hand, PDP has significantly increased its strength in the North— Kaduna, Kebbi, Gombe, Bauchi and Plateau States now have a significant number of senators. Support from Atiku could change the dynamic of the race in favour of Kalu.

With Aminu Tambuwal in the Senate, the PDP senators-elect will play a significant role in deciding where the pendulum swings with their 36 seats in the House.

Akpabio’s supremacy battle with PDP in Akwa-Ibom State could count against him, as the outgoing governor may be wary of empowering his rival.

However, the opportunity to have the Senate Presidency may override the local squabble.

The race is no doubt expected to be tough between the two Senators.

SSFeedsNigeria:
O ye Nigerians, how was the last 8 years of Buhari's administration?

Many Nigerians were making serious exploits and economic advancement until 2015 and Buhari happened to us. Everything was paused. Buhari destroyed Nigeria within 8 years and turned a middle income and fast developing country into the world's poverty capital. He is about to leave office and a worse criminal is about to take over...

If Tinubu is allowed to enter aso rock, he will rule for 8 years. If Nigerians think things are bad now, then let them wait and experience the holocaust Tinubu's government will unleash them.

It's going to be 16 wasted years!!!

Those who just graduated from university when Buhari took over in 2015 may never get a reasonable job throughout their prime. Those who are 35 today are going to be 43 and frustrated when Tinubu rounds up in 8 years time.

I have checked Nigeria's debt crises, excessive loans that can't be repaid. Subsidy that can no longer be financed. Worse still an economy that is already ruined to the extent that removing subsidy will bring the economy collapsing totally.

We are now at a dead end. However, my sympathy to those that resisted Buhari in 2015. My sympathy again goes to those that resisted Tinubu in 2023. But to those that voted for these people due to ethnic or religious considerations, may karma deal with you effectively.

Yes, but it ain't easy. You need funds to pursue some scholarship, e.g The NDDC postgraduate scholarship requires that applicants should have an admission letter from the foreign University before applying for their scholarship which is not certain.

10th Assembly: Tinubu can't afford to fail, must distant self from Godswill Akpabio-Jackson Lekan Ojo

....says former Akwaibom Governor is demonic, unreliable

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and global security expert, Mr Jackson Lekan Ojo, has cautioned the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu against open support for any candidate for the Senate presidency.

Ojo, insisted that such support for a particular candidate by the President-elect or his Vice could spell a doom for the incoming administration and be counterproductive, as he passionately warned them against associating with the former Governor of Akwaibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

The security expert explained that by the trajectory of the Nigeria's political history, every attempt in the past by the executive to meddle into the affairs of the National Assembly with regards to election of principal officers had been marred with controversies and subsequent disgrace on the part of the presidency.

He added that the Senate needs a very vibrant, bold and ruthless personality as it's President, who possesses what it takes to whip the Presidency back to line on any anti-people policies and decisions, and not a rubber-stamp leadership like the 9th assembly.

Ojo further said except Akpabio, who he described as unfit and lacking in competence and character to be Senate President, all other interested candidates are competent to lead the Senate, Senators like, Ali Ndume (Borno),jubrin Barawu(kano),Sanni(Niger), Orji kalu(Abia),Osita Osinaso (Imo)etc

According to him, Akpabio Senate presidency will be a big clog in the wheels of achievement and advancement for Tinubu's administration, arguing that the duo are two parallel lines in all ramifications of leadership and governance.

"I make bold to say that the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Vice, Kashim Shetima must maintain neutrality in the election of principal officers of the 10th National Assembly, they must not repeat the mistakes of the past that brought in Saraki, Tambuwal, Dogara and the rest against the calculation of the ruling party, they must allow members of the National Assembly to choose their leaders who they consider as capable of protecting the superior interests of Nigerians, these people are not babies, they know what is best for Nigerians.

On the candidacy of the former Governor of Akwaibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, though, he was an uncommon Governor in Akwaibom State, that feat was lost as a Minister of Niger Delta , where he was in charge of about nine states, that position exposed his lack of cognitive capacity to superintend large political structure; many contractors of NDDC and other agencies under his Ministry continued to recount their woes in his hands till today.

"Asides his paucity of capacity and competence, he is also too ambitious, his Senate presidency will be a ladder for him to advance his 2027 presidential ambition at the expense of good governance and the country at large, that character will be a total disaster for Tinubu administration.

" So, Tinubu and APC leadership should be very careful in order not to allow the opposition to maneuver their ways as they have done in the past to team up with few disgruntled elements in the APC and hijack the Senate presidency and Speakership from them; that would terribly spell doom for the incoming administration", Ojo concluded.
Whether Ojo likes it or not, Akpabio is our choice for senate president.

In a commissioning full of praise singing, Pastor Adeboye described the location and completion of the ultra-modern multi-billion naira medical and vocational centre at Ifewara as a divine intervention in favour of Ifewara, praying to God to bless all smaller towns without possibility of government medical and educational interventions.
