igbodefender: Buhari has a clear advantage currently, with Tinubu, the improving economy and suporters of 2023 Igbo Presidency on his side.
But Atiku won't want Kwankwaso, a considerable heavyweight complicating matters for him in PDP. Anyway, Buhari may still convince Kwankwaso to stay in APC.
Meanwhile, Lalasticlala likes reading political comments while eating snake peppersoup.
Improving economy, I don't think you reside in Nigeria. I started my business full time in Nov 2015. Nov 2015 to Nov 2016 I closed at least 8 deals; however, from Nov 2016 to Nov 2017 I closed only 1 deal. Please the economy is yet in improve; consumerism is on the low. Furthermore, Bishop Okogie recently lamented about the suffering of Nigerians under Buhari. Daddy freeze is making noise because he is not getting enough money in his pocket. Please stop spreading falsehoods, Nigeria's economy is not improving.
2023, I don't know where you got that idea; Buhari is not staying on that seat beyond 2019.
morbeta: A veteran journalist and professor of journalism, Idowu Sobowale, has revealed how he and other journalists were served human meat as Suya while covering the events of the civil war.
He said this while calling on people singing war songs to have a rethink, adding that war is not something to joke with.
Sobowale, who also served as a political adviser to a former Lagos State Governor, Lateef Jakande, told Punch how the capital of Anambra State, Awka, was levelled to the ground with no single building standing.
He said, “If you hear people singing war songs, they are most probably people who have never experienced war. Even if you escape, seeing the sufferings of others can be terrifying.
“There was a day when we got to the third marine command and the commander, Benjamin Adekunle, asked if we (journalists) liked Suya, he said we should get into the vehicle and he took us to where Biafra armoured cars had been disabled, with soldiers killed inside them. The place was terribly stinking.
“He said that was the Suya, we should eat. There was also a day we were taken to a small stream that separated the federal troops from the Biafra troops and those people had sharp shooters. The war was so fierce that when we were about to leave, out of the battalion that went, fewer than 20 people came back alive.
“Many had died, many had been so terribly wounded and they were just packed in lorries that brought them to Calabar for treatment. On many occasions, we would be eating and we would just hear gunshot and the soldier or someone else beside you would have been killed.
“That happened several times when we were eating. I had several instances of close shave with death. Let me not say more than that. One crazy soldier was just coming from behind and he just took a cutlass and split the person ’s head into two just like that.
“It was not a pleasant thing to watch or wish for anybody . Look at Awka , the capital of Anambra State, it was levelled to the ground Not a single house was standing; not one.”
My simple comprehension of this story is: Benjamin Adekunle is a savage. No wonder he failed woefully in life. He only knows how to destroy and waste resources.
“APC also need to put its act together and stop accepting PDP members that have questionable characters. We need a viable opposition to prosper as a country, not accept every Tom, dick and Harry that wants to decamp to APC.
WRT the quote above, APC still sees itself as the opposition party or it's expecting to become the opposition party again.
amarachi06: Nairalanders,l need to understand why they removed his name when he went for verification on Monday at Onitsha North LGA in Anambra State. He was so excited to be selected by the government for the first time in his life after his mom who worked as a teacher before she died but only to be rejected on Certificate level. l thought Nbuild is for people from FSLC to empower that class of people with skills, then why the rejection? When l filled that information for him last year, l saw different options of Certificate level to apply with and l selected the First School Leaving Cert for him and he was selected only to be disqualify by a guy at the verification center by his credentials. l want to understand why they disqualified him when they stipulated the entrance level for Nbuild is from FSLC to degree holder? Who should l consult for further information? Thank for your help. Thx Lala, Mydd 44
Buhari is the president with FLSC why shouldn't your hubby join Npower with his FLSC. Fight for your right!
CastedDude: "All work and no play", this seems to be watchword of a young policewoman has got herself trending online after showing that there is another side to her besides wearing uniform and even carrying gun. In the spirit of celebrating her birthday yesterday, the gallant and cute policewoman simply identified as Vivian who is based in Lagos, Nigeria - shared some hot and sexy photos to mark her special day. See pictures below;
nastycgolden: Four criminals are caught and are to be punished.The judge allows them to be freed if they can solve a puzzle. If they do not, they will be hung. They agreed. The 4 criminals are lined up on some steps (shown in picture). They are all facing in the same direction. A wall separates the fourth man from the other three. So to summarise : Man 1 can see Man 2 and Man 3. Man 2 can see Man 3. Man 3 can see none of the others. Man 4 can see none of the others.
The criminals are wearing hats. They are told that there are two white hats and two black hats. The men initially don’t know what colour hat they are wearing. They are told to shout out the colour of the hat thatthey are wearing as soon as they know for certain what colour it is.
They are not allowed to turn round or move. They are not allowed to talk to each other. They are not allowed to take their hats off.
Who is the first person to shout out and why?
The Man1 needs to shout first; however, he has 50% chance getting it right but the others can guess correctly 100% � except man4 that can guess correctly if man2 & man3 are wearing the same colour.
Man1 shouting white means he sees odd number colour of hats, other shouting black means he sees even number colour of hats.
BWW-B Man1 shouts black which means man2 & man3 wear the same colour. man2 decodes mentions what he wearing the colour on man3 and man3 says the same. man4 says the opposite.
BWB-W Man1 shouts white which means man2& man3 are wearing different colours. man2 decodes, mentions the opposite of man3 colour and man 3 mentions his colour. man4 is left to guess.
lokoventurex1: Good Afternoon everyone. I have always been a member on nairaland for years now, but hardly put in comments. I have to confess these years with nairaland have been wonderful! Please guys, I need your advice.
I attended a polytechnic in Lagos where I did my ND and HND. I made upper credit in both programmes. I had to go for service in the later parts of 2015 in Enugu state. I couldn't wait for the service year to finish before I rushed back to Lagos because I wanted to make a living.
As we all know the dichotomy between the HND graduates and the Bsc counterparts. I had to a job through a recruiting firm in Lagos into one of our leading banks (recruiting firm and the bank name witheld for security reasons).
This was how I became a support staff while many of my mates were still struggling in Enugu serving. I was posted to a branch at Adeola Hopewell after some weeks of training at the bank training school. I was later moved to another branch in broad street, Lagos Island.
I was doing my duties as support staff in this latter branch until July 5th this year when an issue came up. It happened that this my unit was a very sensitive one, we call it "Bullion Services". We actually had an imbalance of $40,000. No one knows how it happened.
This was how they arrested some few of us in the unit on the 10th of July ,2017 . One of the investigators had levied against me that what was I doing in the vault when they suspected the missing money occurred. I had only come into the vault that evening to drop some naira I worked on.
All through this unfortunate day, I was in another office we call Sorting Centre. I and colleague were processing some naira for our ATMs. It was when we had finished that I took the cash back to the vault so that my supervisor can confirm the cash. This was what took me to the vault. I met my supervisor inside the vault and some other two support staff in the vault that evening. I was at the entrance of the vault all through I lasted inside the vault this evening. The CCTV even showed that.
They arrested us on the 10th of July, 2017, and they took us to Ikoyi police station. This was my first time in my police station. Myself, the supervisor, and the other two support staff that were in the vault that evening.
They came from our bank head office the next day, and I was already happy that alas, they have found the money. I didn't know they were taking another drastic measure. This was how they bailed us themselves and took us to the EFCC. The EFCC began their own investigation. They couldn't finish their investigation this day, 11th july, 2017. EFCC took us into their cell. This was the beginning of another turmoils for what I no nothing about.
The EFCC cell we were, while we didn't know what was going on again as regards the case. They had collected our phones as at this time. There was no way we could communicate to anyone. Although, I had communicated where they were taking us to to my mother when I saw her briefly at the Ikoyi Plolice station.
Thanks to the Almighty God for a beautiful job from the efcc team. They really did a beautiful investigation because they concluded none of us they arrested took the money. I guess our bank were not convinced with the efcc report. We were released on bail after a week in the efcc cell.
No sooner had we left the efcc cell than they said we were already on suspension. This suspension took another two weeks. I started praying in my house that the job should go, so that I can have my freedom. When the suspension finishes, this was exactly on the 3rd of August, 2017. They redeployed us all out of the branch the incident occurred. I guess the bank were still not convinced, and they were trying to keep tabs on us.
I was moved to a branch closer to me at Ojota. I had lost the zeal and passion to work in any bank again as at then, because even at the new branch I was posted to, everyone saw me as a potential thief. The bank had already dis-enabled me and the other colleagues on their system during these period. We were only doing menial jobs at our branches , except for their own staff they recruited themselves (the supervisor).
On the 20th of September, we heard they have fired the Professional staff amongst us, while they hadn't taken any decision on us(the support staff). This news spoilt my day because this was a supervisor that made me enjoyed what I was doing with the bank.
On the 11th of October, 2017. I was called to the attention of a mail that they have asked me to return to my recruiter(the recruiting firm). I knew what that mail meant. This is how most of these bank fires the support staff.
I was very happy in disguise, not because I took the money, but because I knew I would have my freedom since July 5th. I was also expecting my bank to pay for the services I had render for 20 days in October. I returned to my recruiting firm this morning. The firm didn't even know all I had gone through. The firm zonal manager said I should write my statement as regards everything that surrounds the whole issue. I wrote it and he said he was going to put it in my file. He also promised to call me for another job interview if the need arises. This I knew he was only trying to be humane.
On the 20th of October, they paid salaries. I didn't get an alert for anything. This I knew something was fishing. I called the recruiting firm zonal manager the next day, which was a Saturday, he said I should call him on the following Monday. I did call him and he couldn't give me a specific reason why I wasn't paid for the October salary. I had already confirmed from my other colleagues they fired us together, they were actually from another recruiting firm to the bank. They were paid for the few days work we did in October.
I made my firm to know my other colleagues we had the same issue were paid their salary. I was sending mails, but they refused to answer me. I was lucky to get across to the recruiting firm head of payroll. She gave me the words of my life. She even tagged my plight a "fraud case". I cried this afternoon via phone conversation.
I made moves to enquire about my Retirement savings account. This my recruiting firm had been deducting from my salaries the portion for my pension with Leadway Pensure. To my surprise, I was given a zero statement of account at Leadway pensure. I was made to understand that this my recruiting firm hadn't credited anything in my Retirement savings account all through I lasted with the bank.
I sent a mail again to this my recruiting firm. I asked why my RSA has not been credited all these while. They couldn't give me a specific reason also. They refused to pay me in lieu of my issue with the bank. They refused to pay me for the October work I did. They also didn't credit my retirement savings account. I actually worked with the bank through the recruiting firm for one year and a month.
I have the terms of employment letter with me. And I am ready to present them. I am also ready to mention the bank's name and the recruiting firm name.
I have no job now and my means of sustaining myself before another job comes in has been denied by this recruiting firm.
I sincerely need you guys help on this.
Kindly advise also on my gmail: Leki9icekazman@gmail.com
Eniitan19: I met a girl five months ago. She is a graduate, in her late 20s and very beautiful. Being that I am eagerly looking for a girl to marry, I made my intention known to her immediately we met. She did not say ''yes'' or ''no'' but rather advised that we should let the relationship run its natural course as answer will come naturally.
Being that she's beautiful, sexy and both of us are no longer kids, we allow sex to take place in the relationship. Although I like the sex part of it, but I observe that she reacts differently to me, as in she reacts in a particular way in one part of the month and in opposite way in the remaining part of the month.
For about two weeks in a month, she will be too friendly, lovely, demands less in terms of materials thing, cares much more, and above all demands for too much sex to the extent that I begin to wonder if she is human.
For the other two weeks, she is opposite of what she exhibited earlier. This is when she will recognize my supposed flaws like not being a fashion freak, not concerned about her materials needs, etc. She will never allow me to even kiss her and she prefers we see each other less this period. This is the period she will even prefer traveling out of the state to buy goods for her business. Towards the end of this ''two weeks sojourn'' there will be gradual change of attitude and the whole things will become normal again.
I have been trying to know why these changes but could still not be able to get reasonable answers. She is from Edo State while I am Ondo's.
Is there anyone that can explain probable cause of this strange behaviour?
With her smile as sweet as a warm wind in summer She's got me flying like a bird in a bright June sky And then just when she thinks that I've got her number Brings me down to the ground with her wintry eye That's my baby She can be all four seasons in one day And when the nighttime comes with no interference To our warm summer love with all its charms But like a thoroughbred horse she can turn on a sixpence And I find that I'm back in Mistress Winter's arms That's my baby She can be all four seasons in one day How will I know? How can I tell? Which side of the bed she takes when the day begins She can be kind She can be cruel She's got me guessing like a game show fool She can change her mind like she changes her sweaters From one minute to the next it's hard to tell She blows hot and cold just like stormy weather She's my gift from the Lord or a fiend from hell That's my baby She can be all four seasons in one day Watching the weatherman's been no good at all Winter, spring, summer, I'm bound for a fall There are no long term predictions for my baby She can be all four seasons in one day How will I know? How can I tell? Which side of the bed she takes when the day begins She can be kind She can be cruel She's got me guessing like a game show fool If it's a sunny day I take my umbrella Just in case the raindrops start to fall You could say that I'm just a cautious fellow I don't want to be caught in a sudden squall That's my baby She can be all four seasons in one day That's my baby She can be all four seasons in one day.
PHgirl: Igbo people in the house, I hail, oh! Something's been bothering me. @topic, do you guys bear Chidinma or Chidimma? Are they the same thing? Because I've seen the two. Thanks in anticipation.
Chidimma = ChidinmaIt's just a matter of local tone.

GrandFinale2017: Why did they scrap it earlier? History Subject is indispensable in the school's curriculum as it makes the student acquainted with the past and history of Nigeria and Africa as a whole. The children need to be taught how Ojukwu Deceived the igbos which led to their massacre during the civil war of 1967
mdokaba1: It was a very stressful week for me as it involved lots of travels and all. So its a Saturday and I was paid for a project I did for the month past.
Going by my tired nature, I knew deep down me that there was no way I could have made it to church the next day and I was hell bent on paying my tithe because of the inherent blessings therein and the last thing on my mind would be to give it to my nebor to pay it for me. (The guy broke and besides I didn't want him to start calculating my take-home (Na sharp man). And I knew deep down that if I keep the money till the next time I would be in church, I was sure I would spend it. (God have mercy on me sha)
So I decided even before getting home to package my tithe and while in the market on a shopping spree I package my tithe and dropped it in the plate of an old beggar. (A mulsim beggar precisely)
Instantly, I saw 50 shades of shocks on her face as she looked at me for a few seconds and I could read her facials more like "For this Buharia?" Lols. And before I disappeared into the crowd, I could see/read her lips mutter prayers pointing towards me. And deep down, I felt blessed and fulfilled.
But was I wrong to have given my 10percent to a beggar instead of to the alter?
Opinions please.
Tithe is tithe. Welfare is welfare. Until you distinguish between the two you'll be doing the wrong thing.
mmilinaliugwu: Greetings fellow nairalanders, A relation is presently battling with skin discolouration which i was made to understand is vitiligo. I need advice on how to assist the young girl because she is presently depressed owing to this strange illness. I will appreciate any advice on how to stop the spread or totally cure it if possible. Thank you.
I doubt if vitiligo has any cure.
There are vitiligo models that strut their stuff on the runway. Kindly encourage the person to embrace his/her uniqueness and rise above depression.
Why don't Niger Delta people hold their leaders accountable? This goes to Igbo people too(A bü nwa afö, uche gï dï ya!) We should enthrone true advocates of the people so as to ensure proper accountability and representation in business/political affairs.
Drinkwater07: In a dilemma right now, please those experienced in these kind of issues should help me.
I lost my Job at the Nigerian Breweries Last year, While I was working I made up my mind to marry my girlfriend of about 4 years now, this December. Both of us are 30 already, we are so much in love, but my job lost really hampered our marriage plans, because she is just engaged in the Npower scheme now and my cash that I saved have long almost finished right now. The reason I did not go into business with the little money I have at that time about 400k was that My elder brother in Canada promised to send me to Canada to join there. So far he have helped me secure admission for MSc. and payed my full tuition fee and even credited my account for the maintenance which the visa officers will see in my account. He also has the plans of sponsoring me through PHD also in Canada or the UK if I want. Now as I await my Visa, there is a really big issue I am fighting right now to manage.
My brother warned me to forget about any girl I have here in Nigeria, that most of them are fair weather friends, gold diggers and desperados, and that if I have anybody here in Nigeria waiting for me while I am away, that it will be a huge distraction for me. He told me he is speaking out of experience and won't want anybody to distract me while studying and hustling abroad. My girl is definitely none of what he described, she is a very good person and is never after money, She just love so much. I told him that I don't have anybody, This is to avoid him withdrawing his financial support for me or may be doubting my seriousness to succeed.
I was planning to come back and get married to my baby after my MSc, but I don't know how my brother will see it. He will be so disappointed with me, I hold my brother in so much high regard, and right from when I was a child he usually protects me so well and doesn't want anything to hamper my success, I love my girl so much, she is everything you will want in any woman. If I don't marry her I don't think I will be happy with anyone else. None of them is aware of what is bothering. How will I solve this issue.
Dude, this tough. Being faithful to this lady far away will stop you from exploring your options fully. I had this experience; currently, by God's grace, I'm married to another loving woman here Nigeria.
My relationship with the initial lady was tested when I returned to Nigeria, lost a very well paying job I secured in Nigeria; at first she was supporting, but when more frustrations came to me, she became irresponsible and unresponsive. I had to shut down so as to completely remove her from my mind.
Dude, what do you intend doing after MSc?
Returning to Nigeria for work? Forget it, if God is not with you and if you've got no connection. Your lady will Bolt when frustrations come.
Remaining in Canada (forget UK that place has very limited opportunities)? You need to explore other opportunities with youthfulness. Meet new people, make new friends, remove your head from Nigeria and anything that attracts you to Nigeria.
We have screen shots from last season . . .. for FA cup, Carling Cup and Conference .. they will be given out by standings only.

May I know why the main league code is not available, it is not like there is any limit on the main league. Kindly, publish the main league code ASAP. BTW, I'm not interested in your H2H leagues.
athorello: I have an issue with some unnecessary questions here. Every info has been rightly passed here from day one of the dpr test. Meanwhile, while some guys whose statuses are "still pending" have the mettle to go to the testing centers some spinless rubs will be sitting behind their phones only to ask stupid questions.
One key info was that test in ph would be from 24th to 27th and there was enough concerns to make anyone recheck his/her profile. I later discovered that most people I reached out to were actually rescheduled and notified via email/sms. But thanks to those who went to protest at Moscow road, the test resumed around 12:30pm yesterday.
Secondly, if this thread is your sole source of info, you should have know that people were attended to at the test center regardless of their schedule whether missed or yet to write. Your part was to come up with a cogent excuse. Anyway, all these are going to the past now but it's better to be proactive if you really want something. Let grace, quota system or connection have its way. Success y'all!
A friend never received any invitation email or SMS for the test, his luck was just visiting this thread. He check his DPR profile and took his test centre and date. I hope he will not be forgotten again. Keep the thread alive it helps.
