It is called non-verbal communication. Maybe the person already opened up several times but trust many Nigerians, that won't stop them and they will start negotiating from $100 all the way to "can you at least send like 5k naira or anything anything" grin

PoliticsRe: Nigeria Still Facing Civil War Triggers – Obasanjo by Shikena(m): 1:34pm On Jul 02
Sorry OBJ saw nothing, it's just OBJ being OBJ. Let another person say exactly what he just said when he was in power and watch OBJ descend heavily on that person. OBJ is OBJ, simple as ABC grin


RIALITI:
A wiseman always see the future that a fool can't see. OBJ has spoken the future.
What he simply means is that, "Nigeria already has a crack that keeps going towards disintegrating into crumbs".

Someone like Obassnjo will never come out to say directly that Nigeria is going to split. In order words he will say it in proverbs that only the wise can understand.

Whoever has ear let him hear.

In your wildest dreams - federal election is not party primaries where your shop around like a trader for free ticket cool .

franchasng:
If Nigerians, especially the Yorubas have enough wisdom, they are supposed to call Tinubu to order to forget about a second term and allow Peter Obi to complete the Southern turn for peace, unity, equity and justice and to also prepare Nigeria for a greater future of unity, prosperity, love and togetherness.


At least Tinubu have fulfilled his lifelong ambition and dream of becoming a President, that is enough...he should not let his ill-fated ambition to destabilize and destroy Nigeria and her fragile future. We really can do better with understanding and empathy for one another.

Oji river power plant was never at any time the largest in Nigeria. The power problem was not limited to the Igbos.

aariwa:
The problem is that since then they are more focused on their fear for Igbos than growth that it has stunted the growth of the entire country . Things like generation of electricity was moved to the federal list until only last year they allow states to generate electricity . Igbos would have repaired and expanded the Oji river power plant and would have become a leading manufacturing hub in the world today because lack of electricity is the only reason for the high number of importation today

If they give you 50k then go and find the remaining 15k yourself and get started. It is a grant not a loan.

What's the issue here?

Not true.

The governors Ribadu explicitly indicted or heavily focused on during that 2006 legislative period are:
- Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia)
- James Ibori (Delta)
- Joshua Dariye (Plateau)
- Ayo Fayose (Ekiti)
- Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu)
- Boni Haruna (Adamawa)


bewisemasses:
I don't take this govt serious for one reason

In 2006, The then efcc chairman Nuhu Ribadu Came B4 d Nigerian Senate and listed five most corrupt governors
Orji Kalu (now a senator)
BAT ( now C.I.C)
Ahmed Sani Yerima (now a senator)
Godswill Akpabio (now Senate president)
George Akume (now a secretary to d FG)

Spot on!

I know someone that moved to Abuja from Sapele then relocated back to Sapele after 4 years claiming Abuja was too mechanical for him.

No one could tell him the issue was him not Abuja grin

Kobojunkie:
Interesting writeup! Below is a list of what I got from your statements.

1. You did not make genuine human connections with those you claim were your friends in your new place. Why? undecided

2. Are you insinuating that back in Nigeria, you were able to save up more or enjoy more with the money you made back then? If yes, then why did you leave Nigeria? undecided

3. There are parties, suya joints(maybe not the same look), bars, and soccer pubs in the UK as well. Why did you make the personal decision to deny yourself all of that? undecided

4. Alright! undecided

5. Now you are being honest. undecided

6. Interesting! You did fail to assimilate abroad. That is detailed in your writeup, and honestly, is not a bad thing. And I hope the best for you in Nigeria. undecided

PoliticsRe: At 27, He Was Already A Bank Chairman: The Extraordinary Rise Of Orji Uzor Kalu. by Shikena(m): 12:53pm On Jun 21
Don't get me started on this. You have snippets not the full story. It was all IBB and Maryam and it did not start when IBB became head of state grin


peleson1:
Ibb was the head of state when he got a contract from the ministry of information to build a TV station in the north .
He got it from the ministry and not from doddan barracks .
Arthur went to the north to hustle for it and he got it .

We are talking about Ikoyi and Lagos big boys under ibb . The ibb boys .

Sopriye was the capOne
PoliticsRe: At 27, He Was Already A Bank Chairman: The Extraordinary Rise Of Orji Uzor Kalu. by Shikena(m): 12:47pm On Jun 21
On Tinubu, you are mixing things up.

There was the pre-June 12 and also post June 12 period. Yes, Tinubu was not a beneficiary of military money but his mother, Abibatu Mogaji, was the head of Lagos market women. He was rolling mainly with Yomi Edu but well connected within the Lagos Island traditional wealth circle.

Yomi Edu connected him with MKO Abiola and he was very rich even at that point. He later became a Senator around 1991. June 12 finished many in his circle, they all saw hell but Tinubu was never an activist, he found his calling as a politician so his ways have always been flexible. Many NADECO mentioned that about him. Whether that is positive or negative depends on the observer.


peleson1:
Tinubu was a big boy .
Abscha didn't trust Tinubu and Tinubu wasn't close to abscha , he was looking for that opportunity.
Ibb never liked Tinubu .
Though Tinubu was close to Abiola .

The late Jack from rivers state that was the chairman of the electoral empire under Abacha ,What jega or yakubu was under Buhari in inec was from Rivers state and he later became the depsuty governor who handed over to Odili when the military boys left . He was very close to Abscha and my elder sister's husband contested for senator being Abachas's first son best friend.. That name Tinubu was not known and was not in the circle late Mr Jacks daughter is still my friend till date ,we spoke today still .

You can go and verify what I said in my post.

Like I said ,any body can be anything once the person keeps grinding and upskilling and following the right steps and God's factor very important.

In 2007, Dangote was not yet the richest Nigerian . Who knew he was going to be that?
Dangote family left VI back to kano .

Before they left , I was with jubril dangote and I asked the young man , what would you like to become in the future and he said ,"I will like to be an investor and I want to buy Liverpool FC of England"
His friend phileo was not able to say what he was gonna be .
You could see how these people move.
I didn't see Seyi, I didn't meet them before 1999 so where were they ?
Nobody in the circle knew them .

Tinubu was busy grinding and grinding and now we have him

In 1999 , it was Tinubu's deputy governors family that provided Tinubu with refurbished Peugeot he used for his swearing in as governor . Tinubu did not have a convoy nor a befitting car for that . His deputy did and his deputy governor's family provided that for him .


In this life , we only need God favour and mercy while we prepare for opportunities because opportunities are endless .
I'm talking about old money

Not new money .

What I'm sure of is that Tinubu is new money
And another thing I'm almost certain about is that Tinubu does not care about Forbes rating instead ,he is determined to be the richest Nigerian by far . So he is mobbing everything finance he can . He is not relenting .

Christianity EtcRe: Why Do People "Fall Under The Anointing" During Church Services? by Shikena(m): 12:06pm On Jun 21
Apart from the paid or volunteer actors and the naturally emotional ones falling over during service, it should be noted that melancholy, trance and intense vibrations during worship is a well known phenomenon in some African traditional religion.

Early writers on slavery noted that worship in American churches got heavily influenced by slaves who were originally African traditional worshippers.
PoliticsRe: Off-Cycle Elections In Ekiti, Rivers, Ondo, Nasarawa, Kano States (Live Updates) by Shikena(m): 11:32am On Jun 21
No mind our brother, just 3 bottles of chilled hero beer would easily make the 7,252 loud Nigerians on social media confuse themselves with millions of busy and productive real life Nigerians that vote on election day.

Real voters see their APC local community and their coordinators working actively, canvassing for membership, explaining government vision, progress and challenges. They also see the disgruntled but unserious opposition alliances. They know who to vote for.

CharlesCNG:
Insults are not evidence.

You said Nigerians have rejected APC. Good. Today is the test. Let the ballot speak, not your bitterness.

As for the bread sermon, it sounds like you came prepared with hunger and anger, but not with facts.
When the votes are counted, we’ll know whether it was APC Nigerians rejected or just your self-confidence that got ahead of the results.

Yes and he was rumoured to be fronting for Nigeria's military dictators at that time. Many had high expectations when he became governor only to find out he had no magic wand. Just another individual who got some inexplicable opportunities. His performance as governor and subsequent positions totally failed to match his resume.
