Please who know any abortion drug? My dog is pregnant for my neigbours local dog (ekuke) which I don't like

Lmaoo
This is the funniest thing I’ve read today. Sadly, I have no prescription for you. But you’re sort of dangerous and not considerate of animals by planning to execute such atrocity towards an animal. Anyways, you own the dog and yes, it’s just a dog with no recognizable animal right in Nigeria.
All the best!!

Re: Gumsu Abacha Slams Wole Soyinka: Your Hate For My Father Shall Kill You, Mad Cow - Politics - Nairaland


“... i may have my short comings etc. but i love to respect and be respected.“

The above is what the last lines of Gumsu Sagesse Abacha’s Facebook bio reads.

Sagesse, you have not only defiled the reciprocal rule of respect which you so much adore as it’s obvious in your bio, but you’ve also embarked on a journey of the fugitives and vagabonds which is paved with brim stones of destruction.

I make this statement in lieu of your recent reaction to a post by one Ajayi Temitope on Professor Wole Soyinka’s opinion on President Muhammadu Buhari’s perception of your father; Late Gen. Sani Abacha.

I am not here to address the position of the write up neither do I seek to redress your lack of understanding especially as it’s obvious you’re not in search of it.
I seek to let you know that you’ve violated grossly, the averagely expected attitude of a well bred Nigerian to an elderly one. How dare you refer to an elderly Statesman as a Cow?
How dare you refer to Professor Wole as a wicked old hawk?
You even found it so pleasant and sensationally appealing to tag him an ‘Olori buruku’. Ahah!!
Haba!! Even if you never experienced any form of cultured upbringing at home, the only school which you attended being a military secondary school (Command Secondary School) should have at least instilled some morals and sense of discipline no matter how minute in you. If this had been done, I believe Nigeria will be free from experiencing such an unfortunate incidence of this nature which you’ve headlined with top notch gladness.

Your words are those that a mad man should read and senses should befall him to blast you as a crude human being which you painted yourself to be.

Your display of shambolic disgust should be ones only a retard who had no access to civility in any form should offer only at their most insane moments.

I give no care to what many Nigerians are saying currently about your statement ranging from the opinions that you should never even raise a public brow due to what’s perceived of your socio-political background which for ages to come, many won’t forgive. I believe you have your right to the freedom of expression and you should not be deprived of it in any way. However, I should point it to you that where your freedom to freely express yourself ends, is where Professor Wole Soyinka’s right to self dignity begins. And going by this, you have greatly breached the laws of humans recognizing such and even the law of God which expects that honor must be adored to whom such is due.
To this end, you have not displayed any form of sanity expected of human relations.
Your case is though not free of amends as you still have the same media you engaged to display a public character rascality to tender an unreserved apology to the person whom you so attacked.

I wish you patience to be able to distill the message in this piece and wisdom to go about your apology as necessary even as I remind you of the words of Bernard Kelvin Clive:
“The fact that social media has leveled the playing field doesn't offer you the right to disrespect the elderly”.

Good evening!

Why do you go to a particular church?

Most people simply go to church where their parents, friends or relatives have gone. Yet millions today go for other, more personal , reasons. I had a talk with my nextdoor neighbor the other day, and he told me, "We've tried to find a church with the best youth program. Since we have kids, isn't that the most important thing?"
Others try to find churches that are more "up-to-date," modern and exciting, or where there are more activities and better music. We are all familiar with the huge "mega-churches" where as many as 30,000 people may attend—enough to fill a small city. In those churches, people can go for years without getting to know most of the other members, and there may be very little emphasis on, or opportunity for, interacting or counseling with the pastor, or being part of an intimate "family" of worshipers who understand and pray for one another.

So, why do you go to your church?

The Whistle Blowing Policy of the Federal Government; A Milestone or a Millstone in the Anti-Graft war?

Our most mentioned country, Nigeria is envisaged to be quite deep in the pool of confusion when the talk comes to corruption. Attempts to save this rickety ship of over 200 million passengers seem to have resulted in a riddled state of jeopardy. While many evils bestow these travelers on a daily, some of them seem to have an extra life jinx that successfully prevents them from the vissimilitudes of the day and from the perishing wand that rules the night. All thanks no appraisal to the magician; the devil. Aye! The devil. What other nice name can be allotted to a spirit that enters some men to cloth themselves in Agbada and dance shoki to get your fingerprints with myriads of promises ranging from a meal a day for school kids and 5,000 monthly stipend for jobless peeps. Perhaps, that's the devil doing her favourite which is promising heaven and the stars whereas he knows you're only crying for the moon as he had had his persona kicked out of the same heaven a while ago. Perhaps you then realize that you've been served fresh vegetables spiced with a flavour that appeals to your ears instead of your nose or better still, your senses of reasoning. That flavour is the lying one. 'If the mountain does not come to Mohammed, Mohammed is ready to risk all to come to the mountain.' Sadly, the Mohammed is a humane flavour. A lying flavour. A lying Mohammed. Do not forget, Mohammed was sent as a flavour by some tantalizing witches that work with the unknown devil. And before you swear that you're going to kill my Mohammed when next you see him, I'll remind you that he wasn't alone all along. There can't be a flavour or an aroma without a meal neither can you have a meal without a chef and yes, the chef will always have many friends. Friends who are in need and those who are indeed in need. I know of a chef, they call him Jagaban of the Bourdillon.
I know of a meal; I know of a 'presiding dent' who has spent more time at health theatres than in his thinking room of administration. May be we should let that lie a bit as he readily has a 'commissioner' to oversee on his behalf while he visits the crown kingdom. Curiously, they search for the devil that has been the meal poisoning agent over time. The devil that has severely bruised the heels of the captains of the rickety ship. In the vocabulary of devils alive, written boldly in gold is the demon 'CORRUPTION'. Based on hearsays and guess works, these fellows are convinced that the golden demon is the witch they've been on the search for. In a crazy rush to haunt the hunter and give the demonic persona a run for his life out of his sinister hide outs and great harms...
Fast forward...
Fastly...
The Whistle Blower was discovered.
He was described as an angel to save these guys from distresses and stresses of making unpalatable meals usually messed up by the demon, corruption.
May be you will be the successful catcher of the minions of demons housed in this devil, only time will tell us that.
A French Philosopher once said in his book 'The Government and the People' that: "We have no smooth running of power until we begin to actively engage our people in the fight against lack of development".
Ladies and gentlemen, not to bore you with rhetorics, in 2016, therichest.com published a report on developed and underdeveloped nations and posited that a major factor responsible for lack of development in the 3rd world is corruption and unaccountability from the government to the people.
While I will like to stand against this backdrop to support that the Federal government is on the right track of fighting the graft war by introducing the Whistle blowing policy, I shall be careful enough not to prophesy that this is the best medium of exposing corruption outrightly.
My reasons and points are though rich but humble to house themselves by pitching a tent of points on three firm grounds:
The Nature of the whistle blowing policy, closely escorted by the fact that corruption is the grand degeneracy of our government and lastly backed up with the succinct justification of the Policy.
On The Nature of the whistle blowing policy, according to the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, the primary goal of the policy is to support the fight against financial crimes and corruption, by increasing exposure of financial crimes and rewarding whistle-blowers. In order to promote such exposure, whistle-blowers are encouraged and offered protection from harassment or intimidation by their bosses or employers.
The Policy Selling Points are identified to be the possibility of increased accountability and transparency in the management of public funds. Also, the possibility that more funds would be recovered that could be deployed in financing Nigeria’s infrastructural deficit.
In the final analysis, it is hoped that the more accountable the government becomes, the higher will be Nigeria’s ranking on the indicators of
openness and ease of doing business . The ultimate goal is to develop a corruption-free society and attract more and more foreign investors.
The violations the policy stands against include, but are not limited to mismanagement or misappropriation of public funds and assets; financial malpractice or fraud; collecting/soliciting bribes; diversion of revenue; fraudulent and unapproved payments; and procurement fraud (notably, kickbacks and over-invoicing).
Hastily, my next point is conveyed in the obvious fact that Corruption is the grand degeneracy of our government.
Fellow countrymen, it needs no debate that the major cankerworm that is responsible for the stagnancy and retrogression which Nigeria is suffering today, is corruption of authorities and principalities in power.
Overtime, there has been a constant and total clamp down on the resurgence and insurgency of corruption in our country. Both locally and internationally.
For 16 years, we have experienced impossibilities in the tackle of this great enemy. In 2017, there was brought to life, a gradual solution to this menace. It is of exigency that we view in bad light, any person who will choose to see the whistle blowing policy as an Achilles's heel rather than nitro boosting tyres.
The above will appear as an intellectual dishonesty when it is not backed up with adequate justifications of the whole policy.
It is worthy of note that we remind ourselves that there can't be something on nothing. Just as there cannot be a solution without a problem, so it is that there cannot be development without total eradication of corruption. A viable and bankable channel of eradicating corruption in Nigeria is by believing and promoting the whistle blowing policy.
Since the introduction of the policy, we have seen politicians and public office holders return stolen funds. The EFCC has been of great help in this matter.
The Ikoyi Osborne Towers scandal is another prove. Where over 150 million dollars was recovered.
Let's not forget in a hurry, the 9.2 million dollars recovered from a former NNPC managing director.
Also, the 8 billion naira loot of Canterbury can't just but be talked about.
All thanks to the whistle blowing policy.
Examples of ways whereby the policy tackles corruption are that it is against:
*Violation of Government’s financial regulations e.g. failure to comply with the Financial Regulations Act, Public Procurement Act and other extant laws.
* Mismanagement or misappropriation of public funds and assets (e.g. properties and vehicles).
*Financial malpractice or fraud, theft, collecting / soliciting bribes.
* Diversion of revenues.
* Underreporting of revenues.
*Conversion of funds for personal use.
*Fraudulent and unapproved payments.
* Splitting of contracts.
*Procurement fraud (kickbacks and over-invoicing etc.)
*Violation of public procurement procedures.
Also, it provides Information on stolen and concealed public funds.
It is worthy to note the reward aspect of this policy. The policy rewards persons who report with 5percent of the recovered sums.
The general hope of this policy is that more looted funds will be recovered through the encouragement of voluntary information about corrupt practices.
I will end with one of my favourite lines...
Jesus turned water to wine but people had to fetch the water first.
Therefore, we must first see this policy as a saviour as it is clearly a means to achieve the curious search for termination of corruption and when this is done, it is of little doubt that Nigeria shall rejoice. Provided there is no resurrection of 'the soon to be deceased'; corruption.

Eminem's 'Rap god' in the Guinness Books of Record for most words.
With 1,560 words in 6.04 minutes and at an average of 4.28 words per second, Eminem is indeed a rap god.

According to reports, the Omo Baba Olowo and his boys were engaged in some rough deals and were almost finished by angry Londoners. Some of his boys sustained face injuries though.
It was learnt that the 'IF' crooner escaped via back door as over 30 angry men were called upon to deal with him.
He was urged to behave humble next time in London as he is not in Nigeria. Added to this, is that nobody knows him in London.

The Honorable Minister for Power, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola is presently at the University of Lagos' Main Auditorium for a conference on solution to the problems of the power sector. The event is organized by the Faculty of Social Sciences.
The Vice chancellor of the school of First Choice was around to welcome him.
Amidst what is describable as a very tight security arena, I could only get these few not-so-clear pictures.

At the Lagos stop of Mr Eazi's "Detty World tour,"
Lil Kesh was a major side attraction.
The singer, clad in a white oversized shirt, and white pants hit the stage to perform 'Sample you' at the New Afrika Shrine. The reception was rapturous. Fans screamed their hearts out, danced along, sang along, and matched his every move with an equal and similar reaction.
Eazi left the stage for him to perform, and he took fans down his long list of hit songs. It's easy to forget that Lil Kesh has had numerous hit records. His split from YBNL took away some of his momentum, but he is working on gaining that back. That's why many were surprised that he could pull out 'Cause trouble', 'ibile', 'Is it because I love you', 'Ishe', 'Fake love', 'Shele gan gan', 'Efejoku', 'Semilore' and more during his brief set.
But it was enough. Fans were delirious by the time he was forced off stage, and he waved at everyone before hugging Mr Eazi, and relinquishing the spotlight. It was a job well done, from him. And right in front of the stage, I saw his face light up each time the crowd egged him on. He was in his element. His spirit came alive. And he was at peace with himself and the world.
Music is his validation in life. His passion, which has blessed him at such a young age.
That's why he cannot quit music.
Prior to the concert. A video had circulated via the internet. In that clip, Lil Kesh made a special announcement which read: "I quit music. I am now a businessman."
Just that line. No explanation was offered. Nothing else was revealed to shed light on the declaration. Just a simple line which could be interpreted in any way.
The easiest way to analyse this would be to fall for his trap. Lil Kesh wants you, the music enthusiast to believe that he quit music. If you ever for once considered it, then he has won. He has fooled you. He has you by the balls .
What Lil kesh means is simple. He has gotten to the stage in his career where he has begun to treat the music solely as a business. The young man has a record label to run - YAGI Records - and a crucial part of running a business is to shed the ideals of music making and find ways to generate financial value for your company.
The inner workings of YAGI has not been revealed, but as a business it has not really been a bulldozer in its space. YAGI Records so far has been a one-man show, which caters to Lil Kesh and his career.
"I'm now a businessman." Lil Kesh said.
Perhaps it's time for a retooling of the company and its resources to achieve something bigger than Lil Kesh? Maybe there's a radical change coming in the manner in which he conducts his affairs. Or, he is taking another role which would see him apply himself as a businessman first, before a musician.
But either way, Lil Kesh isn't dropping the mic. His career is still in its infancy. Only one album has passed through his artistry, and there's still a lot of potential in him. Music has been Kesh's only survival tactic. It has lifted him from poverty, given him a new life of fame, money, influence, and fulfilment. He is blessed man who wouldn't want to let that go. Music is Lil Kesh. Take that away from him and he loses everything.
That's why you should never believe him when he says "I quit music."
That, my friend, is fake news. Repeat after me, raise two fingers in the air and scream: "Fake news!"

The University of Lagos on Friday, 30th June was taken by a storm as it was the show day for 'The Event'.
'The Event' which was a music, comedy and drama show had contracted the IG comedy sensation; Woli Arole to headline the comedy performance for the day.
However, hours into the show, security operatives showed up at the University's main auditorium and ordered that the event be stopped and asked everyone to leave the venue with immediacy.

The most known reason for this is not far fetched as earlier in April, Woli Arole had granted a Kraks TV interview where he stated confidently that Unilag is the university where 'the cheapest girls' are found. He said in the interview that 'Part Three of Law' is where anyone can get cheap girls. Adding that with just puff-puff and egg buns, you get the girls straight up. To buttress his utterance, he claimed that with just suya, you get year four microbiology girls with no stress.
It is worthy to note also that the Comedian had been taking trolls against the Akokites after he posted some IG videos where he with some OAU students blasted Unilag for not having a school anthem. As if that wasn't enough, he had called out all Unilag Alumni that are IG celebs to see a video of a man with bad usage of the English Language who claimed to have graduated from UNILAG. The hashtag #woliaroleuniversitychallenge on IG has all these posts.

As gathered, The University of First Choice Law students were displeased with his act of defamation which is a serious offence under the Laws of Nigeria and thus, took steps to ensure that the IG comedian doesn't perform in the school he had always condemned.

Some attendees of the event were however displeased as most of them came to see Woli Arole perform. But this goes with the known proverb that 'you cannot expect to eat from a friend whose parents you called wretched'.

BUHARINOMICS; POLICIES, ECONOMIC RECESSION AND THE LASTING SOLUTION

For the change agenda of the Buhari administation, the secret of the actual change needed is to focus all our energy not on fighting the old but on building the new society of our dream.
That Nigeria is dowered and endowed with diverse resources is an over flogged point that needs no debate. It is also unarguable that the giant of Africa has over the years been struggling to ensure there is an equitable distribution of these available sources of wealth to facilitate inclusive growth and promote national development. This takes its seat of truth in the current experience of economic recession which is not only a global problem but much more a national crisis and disaster as far as our country is concerned. The most brilliant question any critical observer of the national state of affairs will possibly ask is how beet can our resources be converted for swift growth and equitable development amidst the ugly recession trend? This is my blueprint and burden of proof.
The turning point to the identified crisis and seeming logical answer is not farfetched but embedded in the strategic eight-point agenda of the government which when synchronized with my submission will not only result in a comprehensive growth of the economy but also, a steady national development process.
With a population of over 170 million people, Nigeria has a promising future. We have a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $339 billion, and a per capita GDP of $2,300. Since 2011, our budgets have ranged between $21.8 billion and $30 billion annually. Our exports are $48.5 billion and imports $35 billion by 2013. According to the World Almanac and Book of Facts for 2013, our annual GDP growth is 6.1 percent and fifty per cent of Nigerians are literate.
To go by the Federal Government’s change agenda, the following facets and sectors are said and expected to be given utmost sense of importance. Security, corruption, food, power, transportation, education, affordable healthcare and devolution of power. All these obviously are poised to ensuring accelerated economic growth. As it popularly opinionated that it is change and not chance that brings about progress, every-one agenda item only tend to thrive well and get accomplished when inclusive growth is ensured via the judicious conversion of our resources to bring on progress and development.
Inclusive growth as it implies, is a comprehensive growth which encloses the rich, the poor and the middle class. It is most possible in line with the change agenda when the management of our resources is built on our strength of big population and highly placed ethical values. The Federal Government should ensure policies capable of being channeled by the rights hands are in place. Policies that will curb unemployment and lack of skills in information and communication technology. To achieve this, we should maximize our potentials through a Committee of Development Advisers (CDA) which shall comprise experts in various fields with membership of up to thirty. However, members of its executive and decision making board should be more than ten.
The mandate of the CDA shall be to ensure full employment of a reasonable number of Nigerians. Consequently, to achieve its mandate, it shall industrialize Nigeria within 15 years through the establishment of import substitution industries and small and medium scale enterprises.
It is penultimate to ensure that the CDA constantly advise the president by identifying our lapses, supervising the implementation and financing of SMEs and Import Substitution Industries (ISI). The ISIs should be managed by the National Full Employment Plan (NAFEP). SMEDAN (Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria) should continue to develop SMEs in Nigeria.

On security, the Federal Government should establish the Federal Reconciliation Administration (FERA) to resettle and ensure their satisfaction. The six geo-political zones shall have their needs regularly tabled through their representatives. From the general view, our urgent needs are constant power supply, infrastructure refurbishments, provision of refineries, deregulation of state ownership of airports, railways and the universities. In regulating education, our human resources will be utilized as much as we try to optimize our mineral resources. The Federal government shall pay for the tuition and sports charges in our primary, secondary and tertiary educational institutions.
The presence of an interest free, collateral free development loan, perhaps named for Muhammadu Buhari should be instituted as a Central Bank product available in every financial institution in Nigeria. This will curb the establishment of such banks as infrastructure, industry and shipping banks.
In a bid to ensure a steady national development, some issue are however germane to Nigerian development. One, our bloated civil service; we should have 720,000 civil servants at the peak, meaning 2,000 people per each of the 360 federal constituencies. The remainder should be pensioned, trained and financed for self-employment and sent away. In the same way, we should upgrade the number of our policemen to 720,000 but our 800,000 soldiers are adequate. They should be equipped with modern and efficient weapons including drones and other sophisticated ammunition capable of combating the plague of terrorism that is upon us.
The Manufacturing Import Substitution Industries and our industrial infrastructure as promised recently by the new management of the African Development Bank (AFDB) can be and should be ensured by the assistance of the AFDB and the Islamic Development Bank.
To ensure our educational institutions are inclusive enough to contribute to the anticipated national development and growth, we should concentrate on providing new institutions to manage our resources in order to eradicate illiteracy which; on World Literacy Day last September, UNESCO disclosed is 56 percent of Nigeria’s adult population, the largest in the world. Literacy which is an arbiter of development can be taken care of when the Federal Government allocates 26 percent of our annual budget to education in accordance with the UNESCO recommendations. Laws protecting citizens from being ejected from schools on account of incapacity to pay school fees and charges should be made.
We should march on with the change agenda, realizing that adequate electricity is crucial to development with the new institutions including a privately owned solid mineral development company where government owns 30 per cent. On a final note, a council of Presidential Advisers whose duty shall be to monitor, supervise and streamline all the projects in the country should be in place. The appointment shall therefore be in accordance with the change agenda of the Federal government under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari void of bias, sentiments and nepotism.
Administering Nigeria in line with the transparency mantra of this administration, would ensure that we shall congratulate ourselves for a remarkable recovery from an inequitable growth and slow national development to a new one of inclusive growth and speedy national development with the optimal utilization of our resources.
This way, we can see positively, a boost of actualization in the policies of President Buhari as the points above will ensure a total simplification and close provision of the lasting solutions that have been sought via occasional travelings abroad and sliding of the naira for the dollar.
On a final note, President Buhari should personalize these policies and couch them 'Buharinomics'. By this, we are not just finding a way out of our current economic woes and recession but much more, enlightening other countries who are in dire economic situations as they will adopt the Nigerian policies.

The University of First Choice and the Nation's Pride had the 6th edition of her annual debate championship.
Of the 24 teams representing all the school's faculties and College of medicine, only 4 made it to the final round to battle.
The Faculty of Education came 4th in the debate while the Faculty of Social Sciences came 3rd. With the faculty of Law clinging the 2nd position, the debate was won by the faculty of Business Administration.
Each of the two representatives of the Faculty of Social sciences went home with 75,000 each
While the Law representatives went home with 100,000 each.
The winners went away with 150,000 each and two laptops.
The Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University presented the plagues and prizes to the finalists.
This is highly commendable even as we hope other Nigeria universities start seeing the need for engagements like this.

We give the best to remain the best. Go on ask the rest who failed the test of being the best. Akokites deserve the best.
If you lack facts or are not a Student here, do the world a favour by sealing your lips.

UNILAG is full of spoilt brats. Thank you.
What you can take or tolerate in your schools, we simply can't.

Live and let's live.

ULSU dignified and justified.
Advice to all is to continue studying in our abodes as we most likely will resume to exams.

I love my School.
The School of First Choice and The Nation's Pride

go beat that!

I feel your pain Abidemi.
But in a situation and celebration like that, such should be expected especially when the terms of invitation are not clear enough.
I won't say much as I have just very little info on the whole brouhaha.
Just to ask if:
You and your course mates were the only set of invited UNILAG students.
If yes, is it only Unilag students that were present in the 'students' section'.
I guess a 'no' for that as you said there was a reserved foyer for students. You seem to hammer it like the segregation was deliberately against UNILAG students.
We're yet to see everywhere, replies and reactions of other school students.

Another bird view question is if you guys were late to the event.
As you stated that you were watching the 'Elites' wine and dine... My discretion tells me that before the so called 'elite and classy' would be at such party, then such would have long started. Probably an hour after the early beds are groomed by the celebration atmosphere.
Stating that you saw them eating already..., this hints that you arrived the venue late.
At Silverbird 20yrs celebration in December, it's was obvious how everyone was given almost equal treatment.
Let alone this birthday 'fiesta' that was widely tagged 'strictly by invitation'.
If you do not dance to their reggae (terms) , you then shouldn't expect to enjoy their blues (homely treatment).
Another hint is that this man plans his events himself. As revealed by one MS. Tami, a confidant of the 'Common Sense Senator'.
This in place, he should have no reason whatsoever to segregate. He needs it not.
The fault is most likely from you, less likely from the moderators (usherettes ET al and not likely from Senator. Ben.
This should halt your straight address of ingenuity and lip service to the gaffer.
Mistakes and maladministration are bound to occur when events of this nature are 'evented'.
One last question...
Was Prof. Ralph Akinfeleye (the Don of Mass Communication and founder/director of UNILAG F.M also a friend of Bruce) with you guys?
His presence or back up definitely won't give this awful occurrence an inch of escapism.
The jinx behind the hanky-panky rants proposed by our fellow Akokites should however subside until the above are fully cleared.
Thank you.
