coolcharm: Davido's boy should go and sit down. What do you mean by selective prosecution?
Bello is a local and senseless thief. Man terrorised the whole state for 8 years, milked it dry, appointed state high court judges who go about issuing kangaroo ex-parte orders in a bid to protect him from the law.
If you are not from kogi state, please don't sit down in the comfort of your home and open your loud mouth simply because you can talk.
And you don't think you too opened your mouth carelessly on another's comments?
Son of Dericho Nwamama sef get mouth to talk? I know your Dad's story in Anambra state. Go and ask your Mum to tell you who you Dad was. You really no get shame at all.
Sounds very childish, ohh you don’t know my dad is also Anini and hushpuppi is my uncle?? Did you know your father? Atleast I know mine unlike yours that agbo drinker impregnated your hawking mother and abandoned you, no wonder you think everyone is irresponsible as your father
So with all you have written, it is now crystal clear that Ironsi did not abolish the 4 Region's Nigeria had, nor deny them resource control. It is now left for you people to go and find out at what point resource control disappeared after the 4 Region's also disappeared
You have been desperately trying to convince others that it was your arch enemy Gowon that abolish regionalism in Nigeria and not your hero Ironsi. You have not even been able to convince yourself talk much less of others.
Read the opening paragraph of General Ironsi's decree 34 (very slowly so that the brains will have enough time to decipher its meaning).
Decree 34 of 1966 opening paragraph -
Subject to the provisions of this Decree, Nigeria shall on 24th May 1966 (in this decree referred to as ‘the appointed day’) cease to be a Federation and shall accordingly as from that day be a Republic, by the name of the Republic of Nigeria, consisting of the whole of the territory which immediately before that day was comprised in the Federation.
The main difference between a Federation and a simple republic is in the autonomy of the constituent parts. A republic is a country belonging to the people, whereas a federation is a form of government where by regional divisions are not branches of the central government. Thus, a federal republic has power divisions and regional governments fall under the power domain of the national government.
I honestly don't understand how someone will be arguing about something that's written in black and white with no ambiguity.
You got your facts backwards, wages is infact a right of a worker. Since the abolition of slavery, it is an established law that a worker MUST be paid If your business is not PRODUCTIVE, then you have no business employing workers.
Again, there's a minimum number of workers (50> workers) an organization requires to operates that'll make it mandatory to pay the minimum wage.
So it doesn't apply to the Suya man as you put it.
Yo7 got your comprehension wrong Did I say wages are not a right of workers If you cannot understand simple English why quote me I have very little patience for unintelligent talk
Read and comprehend properly before you start talking nonsense
If the guy family nor hold cash u think say she go look e face not to talk of date, even go as far as using pregnancy to pin the boy then pushing the boy to pay her bride price without his family.Thats desperation of the highest order
And you think the Actress is suffering ?
She hold her side too.
Even if the guy decides not to spend his money on the baby, the baby will not suffer.
There is no pinning of anybody here with pregnancy...
"Two Adults claimed they loved eachother 💕
They made love and now the woman is pregnant..
The wise thing to do is to go and pay something for the woman head before the baby is born..."
O boy, if you Fûck my sister and give her belly,
I will gladly accept you as my in-law because we don't want more Illegitimate children born into this world..
Responsible men will always own up to their actions.
bigiyaro: Excerpt the boy have his own money, this wedding will not last, either the girl needs serious money or desperately needs to hide under marriage. As far as I did not disvirgin you and I met you at 38, you go first born, I will do a DNA test before I will even consider marring you, if you are worth the sacrifice, in just 12 years of marriage am already fvckin a 50 year old woman, who does that? when other 42 year old men are banging up 25-30 year olds as wife.
She doesn't need his money, what she need is a man, she wants to get married to him asap, so it's on record they both got married, she doesn't want to give birth out of wedlock.. she doesn't care if the marriage lasts or not, she can take care of the child alone. The guy isn't using his clear eyes. He doesn't know much about relationship not yo talk of marriage.
If she is your sister, you will not call her Desperate.
talk about the Desperate Big Black Dick that got a 38 year old lady pregnant....
Guyman saw a fine lady with big Yansh and decided to knack, not knowing that the lady is very fertile..
Abeg, Let them get married..
At least this child will not be Illegitimate and born out of wedlock.
If the guy family nor hold cash u think say she go look e face not to talk of date, even go as far as using pregnancy to pin the boy then pushing the boy to pay her bride price without his family.Thats desperation of the highest order
kolaaderin: now as a regular wailer you are, think of it the opposite way that Tinubu visited a country to meet a state Governor, not prime minister or president of the country. We know the kind of Gas lighting Obident will be pushing of Tinubu by now. He can not even meet the prime minister, he is only attended to after paying a governor to save face, Tinubu is a disgrace to Nigeria !!! Bleet bleet, muu muu, mia mia, choo choo choo Cha Cha Cha and so on from the delusional brainless Obidence.
If when your career criminal were hiring Ikotun agberos to be bishop you no talk, you still dey follow prophet mohammed wey see three medina idols with wooden breast and was sucking it without knowing he was caught, he was busy spewing satanic verses, you still no talk.
Sportsweb: JCole disappointed his fans. Such a weak ass move. Why is he scared of Kendrick..he could have cooked Kendrick better than Drake.
Lol. Cole is definitely not scared of Dot. You have to understand why he did what he did. Cole's heart wasn't really in it. For you to drop a diss that bangs, there has to be that animosity, that hatred for the other guy and Cole just couldn't get that fuel. He's Mr Love and Light. Everyone knows how much respect and love he has for these two guys. He tried to, but the whole thing just fell flat.
He never should have dropped that lame track in the first place, not to even talk of taking it back. Now all everyone is going to say is "he chickened out" That singular act sealed his status as No. 3 but i guess he's made his peace with that.
You don't have brain so nothing to reset For Obi to be president or not who cares but if you are so confident with your "NEVER" why can't you say you will die if Obi becomes president since you are God Even your father envys Obi so you are nobody
Son of Dericho Nwamama sef get mouth to talk? I know your Dad's story in Anambra state. Go and ask your Mum to tell you who you Dad was. You really no get shame at all.
We have seen the Landmark destruction. I planned to write about how I did not bring Sham El Sheikh to Lagos when one of its twelve owners wanted me to do that in the 1990s, which could have destroyed the Igbo hater Alhaji Abimbola Tinubu Elnora Daniel's (CSU) pupil.
But given the depth of genocide that David Umahi and his master Tinubu are planning to launch against Igbos, we must talk about it because it has happened over and over. The entire world is about to witness another evil against Ibos.
When I am at home, I either write or watch TV. Some years ago, while I was writing an article for a printing press, luckily, a Bible was on the table as I was typing.
The Lord Jesus came and sat beside me. Pointing to the Bible, He said, "Pick it." I did. Then He said to open it. I also did, and He told me to read it.
Then, I read, "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease." With the advent of online articles, I, like many other Nigerians, loved to read Ben Ayade and David Umahi's papers. If I'm not mistaken, Ayade even won an ecosystem award.
But these horrible individuals, like their counterparts called activists, we know, corrupted their wisdom with wickedness and a lust for money. We know today that their articles were something other than tawdry.
Before Ayade left office, he sold every tree in Cross River State, so much so that if you see a stick in the state, you will know it was planted after Ben left the governor's house.
The over-ambitious Umahi, who dreamed of becoming president but was aware that Buhari was running an anti-Igbo government and killing Ibos in their homeland in an undeclared civil war, joined him.
To prove his loyalty to Buhari, he had to publicly start a campaign of cruel and crude bullying of civil servants in the state where he was governor. According to Asari Dokubo, he even assisted Buhar's militia group from his friend Nysom Wike's state in murdering young people in his state and throughout the S.E.
He intends to validate Thief Tinubu and uphold his unconstitutional dual role as a senator and minister within the illegitimate government. As he did for Buhari, he plans to eradicate Ibos to satisfy Thief Tinubus's ego.
Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road: Leave the talk, Let's face the business by Olusegun Dada.
The Lagos-Calabar coastal road project is undoubtedly Nigeria's most ambitious transport infrastructure project since independence. In terms of scope, distance covered, and connectivity, not even the 3rd Mainland Bridge in Lagos, the 2nd Niger Bridge in Onitsha/Asaba, or the Abuja-Kano expressway comes close. It is simply a world-class iconic project.
Before I go further, I want us to take a brief trip back to history. The idea for a major coastal federal road in Nigeria was first conceptualized in 1955 by the then Federal Commissioner of Finance, Late Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, who hails from present-day Delta State. Okotie-Eboh proposed the development of a network of rail and road routes from Lokoja-Benin City-Koko-Warri-Onitsha to aid the movement of goods. Specifically, he proposed the Koko-Ogheye-Epe dual carriageway project that was to traverse Delta and Ondo states and terminate at Epe in Lagos. This road is basically meant to hug the coastal areas of Delta and Ondo states and shorten travel distance between Lagos and the Niger Delta and the rest of the Eastern region. The project did not take off in the first Republic.
During the administration of Olusegun Obasanjo as civilian president, he elected to commence construction of a variant of the coastal road from Warri in Delta State to Calabar. This was what came to be known as the East-West road. In 2010, however, the government of President Goodluck Jonathan through NDDC also awarded the Koko-Ogheye-Epe road to Levant Construction Ltd. The Lagos State government on its part during the administration of then-Governor Bola Tinubu was also independently planning to build a coastal road that will span the entire Lekki-Epe axis, which it foresaw as the next major economic frontier in Lagos and the country. Thirteen years later, the chief visionary of that Lagos coastal road is now Nigeria’s President. President Tinubu then decided to marry his Lagos coastal road vision with that of Okotie-Eboh’s Koko-Ogheye-Epe coastal road vision in addition to the thinking behind the East-West road to come up with a variant of the Lagos-Calabar coastal road that we have now.
What is the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road Project? This is simply a 700km mega-highway that starts from Victoria Island in Lagos and ends in Calabar, Cross River State. It will pass through Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom states before terminating at Calabar. This coastal highway is the first of its kind in the world. First and foremost, it comprises a 10-lane boulevard with five lanes on each side of the dual carriageway and a standard gauge train track in the middle. Concrete pavement technology is to be adopted in the construction of the entire stretch of the road.
The Lagos-Calabar coastal road has two major spurs. First is the 1000km Badagry-Sokoto road, which will connect the South West to the North Central and the North West through the shortest route possible, terminating at Sokoto. The second spur is the Enugu-Abakaliki-Ogoja road going to Cameroon, which essentially connects the South East to the coastal road. This spur continues from Enugu to Oturkpo to Nasarawa to Apo in Abuja. Essentially, the Lagos-Calabar coastal road is an arterial road that connects the six geopolitical zones.
Synopsis of the Funding for the Coastal Road Project The total estimated cost of the 700km Lagos-Calabar Coastal road project is put at N15.6 trillion. The funding model for the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project is EPC+ (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Financing) where the federal government would put up a counterpart financing of around 30% while the contractor funds the remainder. Last October, FEC approved the EPC+ model for this project in favor of Hitech Construction company. Going by the estimated N15.6 trillion cost for the entire coastal road stretch, the federal government’s counterpart fund is around N4.68 trillion. The federal government, in a bid to hasten the commencement of the project, decided to finance construction of the first 47km in phase 1 of the road project, which runs from Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island to the Lekki Deep Sea port. The contract sum of N1.06 trillion was awarded for this section by FEC to Hitech, and construction is ongoing with unprecedented speed. Whatever funding FG is providing for this section of the road will come under the FG’s counterpart fund. I must emphasize that this funding model adopted by the Tinubu administration is the best model possible, considering the country’s revenue size. This is a monumental infra project being majorly funded with private finance. This is possible because the coastal road is extremely viable.
Benefits of the Coastal Road Most of the unnecessary controversies that have been amplified by some people over this coastal road project have centered on demolition of structures along the path of the road, as well as misconceptions about the funding model, with critics of the project having an erroneous impression that the federal government would fund the entire project. Little attention has been paid to the staggering benefits that the Lagos-Calabar coastal road would bring about. I want to briefly lay them out now.
●Job Creation: Critics talk about exaggerated job losses that may be witnessed as a result of demolition of structures on the coastal road’s right of way, especially in Lagos, but few pause for a moment to look at the immense amount of new jobs that this massive project will create, both directly and indirectly. Already, the project has started creating thousands of direct and indirect jobs courtesy of the actual construction work currently ongoing at multiple sections of the 47km stretch. The workers that would be part of this project are not ghosts; they are Nigerians. The construction of the railway component of this coastal road is another source of massive job creation. Hundreds of permanent jobs will also be required after completion of construction, as people would be engaged to carry out toll management, road maintenance, etc. New industries, filling stations, CNG stations, auto-mechanic workshops, shopping malls, hotels, etc., will dot the iconic coastal road axis while creating many jobs in the process. This is one of the direct effects of having that road.
●GDP Growth: The Lagos-Calabar coastal project is a very important project with unparalleled economic value. This is a road that connects Nigeria’s biggest economic zone, Lekki Free Trade Zone housing the Dangote refinery, Lekki Deep sea port, and many existing and potential industries to the rest of the south and the north via a 10-lane dual carriageway. The potential impact of this road on our GDP growth is huge, considering the fact that it will facilitate an increase in economic activity as well as improve ease of movement of goods and people and invariably ease of doing business. Like I mentioned earlier, the road will drastically cut down travel time between Lagos to the South-South and South-East to less than six hours through an alternative shorter route and open new corridors of development. With the 1000km spur from Badagry in the Atlantic coast to Sokoto on the edge of the Sahel, we would also have a North-South modern highway that smoothens land transport, connectivity, and trade between the north and south. As a growing nation that keeps expanding, it doesn’t make sense to limit ourselves to existing roads (which are equally getting massive attention by the Renewed Hope administration). We need to plan for the future. When the 3rd Mainland bridge was being conceptualized, many back then argued that it was not necessary or not a priority since there were already two bridges connecting the Lagos island to the mainland, but look at the importance of the bridge today. In fact, the Lagos State government has approved the design for the 4th mainland bridge – a more ambitious undertaking. That’s grand vision!
●Tourism: One of the most regurgitated lines by critics of the Lagos-Calabar coastal road project is that it would kill tourism (especially along the existing coastline in Lagos) and destroy our beaches (also especially in Lagos). How wrong they are! Contrary to this false insinuation, the most immediate impact of the new Lagos-Calabar coastal road is definitely going to be a massive boost in tourism. This is not even debatable. Every known major coastal road across the world is always a magnet for tourism. The Lagos-Calabar coastal road, which will be one of the best coastal roads in the world upon completion, cannot be an exception. The coastal road is not going to run exclusively on the coastline. For example, around the Eleko axis, the road alignment is not on the beach front. Even in the landmark and Oniru beach axis, after construction of the coastal road, the tourism value of these areas would skyrocket. It simply requires innovation by players in the tourism industry to make the most out of the coastal road. In fact, there are countless beaches along the path of the coastal road in Lagos, Ondo, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom that can become Nigeria’s top tourist destinations. The Ilashe Island beach off the Lagos coast along the Badagry Creek with its beautifully arranged coconut trees and crystal white sand is one of such that can benefit from the Badagry spur. The Ibeno beach in Akwa Ibom, which is the longest sand beach in West Africa and stretching for about 30 kilometers from Ibeno to James Town along the Atlantic coastline of Akwa Ibom State, is yet another tourism goldmine that the coastal road can trigger its extraction. It will only take innovative thinking and belief. Sadly, many of our compatriots are instead exuding pessimism and pedestrian thinking with their opposition to this grand project.
As I conclude, I want to state that the hallmark of extraordinary leadership is having the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. A leader inspires the power and energy to get things done. He has a poorly developed sense of fear and overlooks the concept of the odds against him. His focus is not usually on the present nor on the obstacles that may stand in the way of his vision but on how to attain that vision by surmounting the obstacles. While many critics of the colossal Lagos-Calabar coastal road are busy extrapolating how many decades it may take to complete the project using other existing roads of different models to judge or how the funding will come, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is looking at the various pathways that will deliver the project. On the evidence of the pace of construction on the project sites, it is obvious that he has found many pathways. President Bola Tinubu is a visionary. He creates the vision of the future. He sees what others do not readily see, which is why people usually criticize his vision at the onset and later turn to embrace or even copy them. This is one of such times.
The birth of a modern Nigeria has begun with President Tinubu in charge and I have only one admonition for our dear compatriots who are still skeptical about this journey; Leave the talk, let’s face the business!

Lol. So what happened this season with all the shalaye? Why is no English team in the semi not even talk of final? Which kind breeze blow them?
And what is spectacular about what someone else has done before? Besides, la liga has teams that have won both ucl and europa thrice in a row. A hat-trick when no epl team has ever won europa twice in a row not to even mention winning ucl twice. The distance too wide bro
Nottingham and Liverpool did it twice in a row. England has 9 different teams that have been to the finals of Cl/European Cup. Missing out on the finals this year happened by mistake I will say... Watch out for EPL teams next season.

The Senator representing Ebonyi South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Prof. Anthony Ani has urged Nigerians to emulate the Dean, Faculty of Physical Sciences at the University of Nigeria (UNN) Nsukka, Prof. Ogbonnaya Igwe on his works for posterity.
Ani made the call while inaugurating a pavilion attracted by Prof. Igwe and constructed by a Philanthropist, Chief Anthony Ofoma for the faculty.
The senator described the pavilion as a show of commitment from the dean and the philanthropist ,to enhance the status of the faculty and create a conducive learning and working environment for its students and staff.
" I have a philosophy of life that there is tomorrow and Igwe who is my younger brother also shares and practicalises such philosophy.
"It is tomorrow that will talk about today and tomorrow,, people will talk about what we left behind for posterity, today.
"What we should therefore, be concerned about is what to do to serve God and humanity,"
He described Igwe as a man of integrity and character who has blazed the trail in his chosen career and the service of God and humanity.
".When I received the invitation from the dean, I did not hesitate to attend despite my commitments at the National Assembly which is resuming from recess.
"This is like a home coming for me because I bagged my first and second degrees from this university while my son is a final year student here,".
He also thanked Dr Ofoma for his kind gesture to his alma mater and prayed God not to allow his efforts be in vain.
The Dean, Faculty of Physical Sciences, UNN, Prof. Ogbonnaya Igwe thanked the guests for attending the event especially the senator for honouring it despite his right schedules.
"I thank Dr Ofoma for his gesture towards the construction of the pavilion as he has proven to be a man of his words.
"I was at the Federal University of Technology Owerri a month ago to examine post graduate students and Dr Ofoma called me.
"He asked me what was still needed at the place we were landscaping and I replied that we needed not just the ultra modern seats that he promised but a car park.
"He said that we should do the inauguration and he will see what was remaining.
"Before the commencement of this event, he had gone round himself and seen what needs to be done,".
Ofoma in his remark, noted that the pavilion was part of his philanthropic gestures and he was pleased to initiate this particular one at the UNN.
"I was motivated to construct the facility because of the exemplary and innovative qualities of the dean of the department.
"I urge staff and students to judiciously utilise the facility and assure that all that is needed to make it absolutely conducive would be provided,.
Speakers who spoke at the occasion also extolled the achievements of the faculty dean which include: creation of the nuclear science department under the faculty and collaborating with the Vice Chancellor to move staff to the new department.
Igwe was also commended for attracting a donor for the construction of a befitting building for the department and securing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the faculty and Kyoto university in Japan for staff and students exchange programmes, involving research collaboration.
He was equally commended for regularising appointments that are unprecedented despite inheriting largel number of appraisals occasioned by strikes and COVID 19 break, and processing unprecedented number of promotions among other feats.
You are just a kid who is out here to insult and discredit people for no reason. I am sure you will out grow this phase. You even took the pains of researching Bands earnings.

Tallesty1: If your adult son decides to get married without informing you then you have every right to tell the world that you were not part of it. You just can't marry into old money fam without the families meeting.
I feel for the lady sha, getting pregnant out of wedlock will lead to a one problem or the other no matter how you handle it.
Your ADULT son or daughter reserves the full natural and constitutional right to marry whomever and whenever he or she decides.
Permission is not what they need or require from their parents or family.
The only thing they can seek is your blessing and presence.
Let's learn to talk and act like we are learned and in the 21st century abeg.
This really cracked me up and made my day at the same time.. Just see how people dey talk with so much conviction as if they had already been there.. Some are even ready to abuse others to submission.. But when it comes to reality the phrase change to God's knows better...
Avereage Nigerians that have read Bible or able to read the Quran are Professors when it comes to explaining Heaven and Hell matters.
Those pple you mentioned as boko Haram are Political Boko Haram
They were not guided by the Quran and they're not a Muslim.
It's prohibited 🚫 is Islam to kill an animal in unlawful manner not to talk of human being. The Political mischievous people sketch boko haram to public views as Muslims and they are not.
But they qoute the Quran and believe you are not a Muslim either not believing what they believe. They are working for Allah after the order of Mohammed (SAW)
The problem in our marriages is that all the rules and regulations regarding marriage are made strictly for the woman. The society put too much pressure on the woman, not minding that for every union to succeed, the both parties must be intentional about it.
Dear women, once you're married to that man, who abuses you, beat you up, desrespect you, stress you, cheat on you, doesn't take up his responsibility as your husband and father to your children. Walk away, but once you're stuck in such marriage and can't walk away due to many reasons, then you have a responsibility of looking for another man who truly care about you and start cheating on your current husband.
I know many people will come here and call me names and suggest you pray and fast about it, they will tell you to calming talk to your husband and all that bull.shit. trust me, it's very difficult to change a man. For most people to change, they must have weighe the options and ensure it's all to their favoure, otherwise, they will never change
Some husband will return back to their wife after they've become financially broke, sick, helpless and have no other alternative. After their side chicks dump them and they become miserable. Too sad, how some women are dumping ground for these set of men all in the name of marriage.
5 reasons why you should cheat on him with another man that loves you.
1. You deserve a better man that loves and respect you. Look for that man and keep him.
2. He's living his life. He's happy. So, you should as well. Stop nagging, crying, harbouring bitterness, stressing yourself, getting old and looking unkept. Because once he's done stressing you and you eventually lose all your beauty or dies and leave your children, his side chicks will come in and start maltreating your children.
3. Your time is short. Women grow old fast. Use your prime to make a friend who can stand by you in difficult situations. Someone that can help your children even when you're not there. (Network and keep quality people in your life)
4. Everyone need someone that truly love them. You do as well. Don't deprive yourself and hoping to be enduring, waiting for him to die before you can be liberated. He might not even die before you.
5. He have many options apart from you. Yes. He do. You should do as well.
Add more points if you have and If you have any objections to my write up, say it intelligently.
The below.....
