Moz22: Actually typing this with a heavy heart and so much disgust for what I've done.. wish I had handled the situation better.
My father is the best man I could ever wish for and if I had another chance to pick a dad again in my next life, I'll pick a richer version of him but my mom?? Sigh!
However growing up with them was so stressful in every way u can think of.. my dad was the meek type, soft spoken and slow to react but my mom would always complain about everything, she fights everything and everyone.. never afraid of any form of confrontation, she would complain about my hairstyle, she would check if I sagged my trousers.. she monitored me extremely and always nagged about it.. I'm this typa guy who is well cultured, I wouldn't say I got that from home training tho cos I do not drink, smoke nor womanize... And I think it's d joy of every parent to have child like me, I basically had no friends visiting me then and even up till now. I've got trust issues that's why I don't keep friends.. my mom made my youthful days hell for me, I didn't really enjoy it.. times I spent with her were miserable as she would shout everyday, quarrel even over phone conversations that you would think the person she's fighting with was right in front of her.. and some times I even pity my dad whenever she starts with him. I developed some sorta hatred for her
Lately I've been spending more time with them cos of our last born just so I could keep an eye on him and we stayed close too.. and the way she treats him makes me wonder if she was the one gave birth to him, if I was away when she was pregnant for him and delivered.. I would have argued that she was his mother. There were times that I had to pass the night there and her voice or rants would be what will wake me up very early in the morning just as it used to be when I used to be there...
I used to think that as people grow old, they become calmer but that isn't the case with my mom, she's more violent... She lost her twin sis last year March and I sincerely hoped that would change atleast but iro nio... Her other sisters aren't even speaking to her at the moment. My dad was a musician.. old age won't allow him continue doing music, coincidentally I picked up that barton.. been doing the same music(live musician) all my life but my mom has always been against it.. she was never happy whenever I carry my dad's guitar to rehearse or whenever I bring a piano home.. it was always war...
Been there since last weekend cos of the poor electricity in my area.. we have had power for about 7 days now.. Had gone for a studio session, only to return in d evening and I was greeted with shouting over a very trivial issue, I was so angry that I responded to every of her verbal insults.. and then she hit me and I reciprocated which I felt so bad about almost immediately.. she dragged me by my clothes shouting that I must kill her again, by that time.. my anger had subdued and all I had on my mind was to leave the house immediately. She threatened to arrest me.. She tore my shirt and I managed to pull away from her.. and left without picking my stuffs. All my life, I have never raised up my hands to hit a woman talkless of my mom.. I don't even beat kids when they do wrong, I hate to see tears..
I know it's a disgraceful thing to do. I've got no excuse for what I've done whatsoever. I even avoid confrontations with my own gender sef cos I know what I'm capable of. I'm always quick to say the word sorry just to avoid prolonged issues. I had been offline since it happened, just came here to drop this and I know how much insults I'm gonna get here anyway but we learn everyday and will surely pick the ones that will make me a better person.. no one's perfect
Pls ignore my typo errors abeg
What? I didn’t even bother to read the rest of your story….Nothing anyone can say here that can be used to justify someone hitting his/her parent…particularly one’s Mum. What kind of curse is that? Better go and do proper “dobale”(prostrate) before she puts an irredeemable curse on you. Just my two cents o!
LordviccoDaGuru: Shame on wailers and Thiefnub supporters everything is in order now in APC Buhari is back in the country. Just 3 days to our great convention. Nigerians will never see the good things Buhari is doing now until he retires from office. I thank God the Senate was talking about attending the constitution to keep Buhari In office beyond 2023, he spoke about this in Kastina state Governor's lodge in Asokoro Abuja today. All those saying and wishing bad things on Buhari talking about isalamzing Nigeria can't hide their face in shame again. I love Buhari with all my heart with passion, Buhari is the best thing that has ever happened to Nigeria, he's a God's sent the Moses of Africa.
If e pain U go hug transformer!
Oh really?….I have to scratch my head for this one oo! No light, national grid collapsed, no fuel, no security in the country, all ethnic nationalities want their separate Nation, etc, etc. Yet, the guy is the best thing that ever happened since sliced bread. Some people’s TOLERANCE simply has no limit….in fact it is totally boundless. These people really deserve what they get. Amazing Grace!!
CyberWolf: Without the 6 governors from the nPDP that joined APC, APC wouldn’t have won the election and you knows that. Who led the nPDP to the APC then? Who was Bihari national campaign director both in 2015 and 2019? You guys from Southwest always think the country revolves around and you’re the most important, others are shits.. don’t worry, you will learn the hard way.
….maybe you’re forming for Amaechi. Joker! The guy does not even have the liver to resign his Ministerial post, so how can he contest? Anyway, get this straight… Amaechi is from Rivers State and he was Governor there for 8 years. His people will claim him when the chips are down. Why don’t you root for one of yours….instead of trying to claim what’s not yours? You guys are sooo funny and myopic!
Truthisunique3: the joke here is buhari is putting these people in place to work with not just him but the new government
How do you have a new government when the board which is the umpire won't let you in fully backed by the president?
Know this and know peace Buhari desires consensus for all his candidate, he didn't battle with NASS for consesus to be in constitution just for fighting sake
He would use it again by may, this board would continue from where buni stopped
You just think you’re living in a banana republic where one man just dictates the tune for everyone to dance to. Even military dictators like IBB and Abacha didn’t have it all their way. So, it may not all be smooth sailing as you think. Be prepared for surprises….even Bubu himself would be shocked by the happenings that are currently loading. Keep watching!
Truthisunique3: the reality of the game is the chairman control the board,
A secretary can be sent packing if 2/3 of the board wants him out
The board remains an appendage of the president
Don’t forget that a new President is coming…he too will find a way to get rid of this Board if they try work against him, afreall he will also be the de facto leader of the party. So, they can recruit all the sycophants as they please for now….I bet they may not even last two years in the position. Keep watching!
MikoB: The fact is that, buhari may not be able to decides who wins the general election, but he will influence who carries apc flag, unfortunately that's how it is in naija in fact he will decide who wins in apc.
He may very well decide who gets the APC ticket since all the sycophants are doing YES SIR to him for the moment, but if he makes a wrong choice, he will just run away to Daura or England when APC loses the election….just like Atiku ran to Dubai after his loss in 2019. Keep watching!!
Both sides benefited, before the merger he was a misfit regional leader, after the merger he became national leader with speaker
….Lol You’re a real joker! And who was the National leader that you guys put forward to help Buhari’s ascendancy? For you to now be claiming some special treatment from Buhari? You could not even garner enough support for him when he looked in your direction by picking your kith and kin. Do you think the man has a short memory? Wait for the shockers in the pipeline for you!!
Tinubu was lossing serially at national politics till he went to beg buhari who brought more numbers than him to politics
Is it not the same Lawan Ahmed that was at the APC meeting which nodded to buhari consesus choice.
I don't see big deal about the much talked about clause, if an Amaechi at worst doesn't go around convention it doesn't change the fact he has gotten his candidate as chairman
Convention isn't for presidential declaration which by the way they would still participate less than 2days away
What’s the stale line? That the Merger helped Buhari get the Presidency? No, it happened when he teamed up with Edwin Ume-Ezeoke! Just keep fooling yourself!
Truthisunique3: I thought you all Tinubu riff raffs said no consesus everything would be primaries
So why the sudden realisation that everything would go Buhari way
YEAH….Buhari way!!! That’s why he lost three times in a row until someone took his hand and showed him the way. Same person will also show him how to play politics when the time is ripe. The National Assembly is already cutting him to size by Appealing Section 84 (12). Buhari way indeed….as if this is military era!!!
Sirheny007: If Tinubu can decode.... Better step down now to avoid humiliation.
For your information, Tinubu will be the consensus candidate for the Presidential ticket of APC come May 2022. Many haters will be in shock but after that, they’re all welcome to visit the Lagos island OSA to do the needful. Who cares?
Tinubu will also be the consensus candidate for the Presidential ticket of APC come May 2022. Many haters will be in shock but after that, they’re all welcome to visit the Lagos island OSA to do the needful. Who cares?
Truthisunique3: and how are you so sure Tinubu would install secretary?
The dust isn't settled yet on that, since the whole thing is consesus they can bring their candidate on that day and have him ratified along the other names
Btw it would be difficult for a secretary not to switch allies to the board he is a member of, he can't be the odd man out, politics is about your benefit in naija
The chairman does not control the Board either….afterall, he’s not dealing with kindergarten kids!!
Mhykel217: Buhari is really feared. Omo Tinubu might end up not getting his ambition fulfilled oo
For your information, Tinubu will be the consensus candidate for the Presidential ticket of APC come May 2022. Many haters will be in shock but after that, they’re all welcome to visit the Lagos island OSA to do the needful. Who cares?
vicdom: Na Tinubu News paper ooo I wonder what his dingbats would say this time Tinubu drug baron senile spineles idiotic hand tremors ridden fool has been emasculated by a mere Amaechi. What a sad way to end one's political career
For your information, Tinubu will be the consensus candidate for the Presidential ticket of APC come May 2022. Many haters will be in shock but after that, they’re all welcome to visit the Lagos island OSA to do the needful. Who cares?
Njokuobinna: COMMUNIQUE ISSUED BY THE PDP GOVERNORS’ FORUM AT THE END OF THEIR MEETING AT ABA, ABIA STATE OF NIGERIA
The PDP Governors’ Forum comprising all elected Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party held its regular meeting on Wednesday, 23rd March, 2022, at Aba, Abia State.
The meeting reviewed the excruciating hardship and suffering being meted out to Nigerians by a failed APC led Federal Government; the near collapse of the APC as a viable political party, the readiness of the PDP to take over and offer qualitative leadership options to rescue the nation and issued the following Communique:
1. We lament the terrible pain and hardship facing Nigerians in virtually all aspects of life. The meeting noted that life was much better in 2015 under the PDP than today under the APC as exemplified in the following Comparative Indicators obtained mainly from the National Bureau of Statistics:
a. Diesel which is critical for running of SMEs was N131.47 in 2015, it now costs above N700 b. Fuel: Official and Black-Market was N87/155 in 2015, it now costs N167/350. c. Aviation Fuel/Air Ticket Rate on Domestic Flights was N110 per Litre/N18,000 in 2015, it now hovers around N700 per Litre/N70,000, where available. Indeed, the scarcity of fuel which has resulted in loss of several man hours is a disgrace to Nigeria. d. The collapse of the National Grid (126 times in 7 years – (June 2015 to March 2022) and its consequences for non-availability of power is most unfortunate. e. Kerosene (NHK) used by the ordinary Nigerian for cooking and power was N180 in 2015, it now sells at ₦450. f. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - 12.5kg Cylinder sold for N2,400 in 2015, is now sold at between N8,750 and N10, 000. g. Prices of basic food stuffs are now three times higher than what they used to be in 2015. Staple foods such as rice, beans, cassava flakes are now slipping out of the hands of average Nigerians. Indeed, a Bag of Rice sold for N8500 in 2015 is now N39,000. h. Electricity was N14.23 per kilowatt in 2015, it is now N38.530, and not even available. i. Unemployment rate was 11.4% in 2015, it is now over 33%, one the highest in the world. j. The poverty rate in 2015 was 11.3% but now about 42.8%. k. Accumulated Inflation in 2015 was about 4%, it is now 15.50%; Inflation Rate was 9.01% in 2015 and now 15.7%. l. Perhaps the Exchange Rate has been one of the most disastrous. N150 to a dollar was the parallel market (patronised by most businessmen and Nigerians) rate in 2015, it is now about N580 to $1 in the parrel market and still rising. m. Debt and Debt Servicing: Domestic Debt of N8.4T and External Debt of USD 7.3b was incurred between 1999-2015. While Domestic Debt of N7.63T (June 2015-Dec 2020) and USD28.57b as at Dec 2020 was incurred. External debt of USD21.27b was incurred between June 2015 and 2021. n. National Debt to GDP Ratio was 23.41% (2016) it is now 36.88% (2022). o. The Corruption Index has risen from 136 in 2015 to 150 now. p. Nigeria's Misery Index, an indicator used in determining how economically well off the citizens of a country are, is usually calculated by adding the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate to the annual inflation rate, has moved from 14.75 percent in 2015 to 50.48 (2021). q. The major threat to the agricultural sector and food security in Nigeria is insecurity. In the northeast of Nigeria, it is estimated that no fewer than 70,000 hectares of arable farmland have been abandoned in the affected States and Local Government areas. The trend is the same all over the country. This further contributes to food inflation. The APC led Federal Government must take steps to cooperate with States to bring security down to the grassroots.
2. The Forum is surprised that in the face of these statistics of complete failure in all ramifications and areas, the APC still wants to be on the ballot in 2023.
This shows how uncaring and insensitive the APC is. IT HAS BECOME A MENACE TO NIGERIA.
3. The Forum urges Nigerians to reject the APC, a party run undemocratically by a Committee contrary to the Constitution (S.228) with Mr. President regularly issuing instructions and dictates. It is impossible for a party so disorganized to offer good governance to the people of Nigeria.
4. The meeting expressed concern and alarm over various reports and claims of incidents of stealing of crude oil ranging from 80% to 95% of production made by industry practitioners and called on the Federal Government to set up an appropriate mechanism to reverse this trend and bring perpetrators to account.
5. The PDP Governors once again decried the inability of the NNPC to make its statutory contributions to the Federation Account, inspite of Oil selling at above $110. It is patently unconstitutional for NNPC to determine at its whim and discretion when and what to pay to the Federation Account, as it is a mere trustee of the funds for the three tiers of Government: Federal, States and Local Governments. We once again, call for investigations and audit of the quantity of consumption of fuel ascribed to Nigerians and for deployment of technology at the filling stations to determine in a transparent manner the volume of consumption.
The Governors would resist any further attempt by NNPC to ascribe unsubstantiated subsidy claims to other tiers of government.
6. Furthermore, S.162 (1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended stipulates that “The Federation shall maintain a special account to be called “the Federation Account” into which shall be paid all revenues collected by the Government of the Federation…” and S.162 (10) states that “For the purpose of subsection (1) of this section, “revenue” means any income or return accruing to or derived by the Government of the Federation from any source and includes – (a) any receipt, however described, arising from the operation of any law; (b) any return, however described, arising from or in respect of any property held by the Government of the Federation; (c) any return by way of interest on loans and dividends in respect of shares or interest held by the Government of the Federation in any company or statutory body”
a. As of today, 18 (Eighteen) Federation Revenue Agencies are not paying/remitting any revenue to the FAAC Account. These include (i) Central Bank of Nigeria (ii) Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) (iii) Nigeria Liquefied National Gas (NLNG) (iv) Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) (v) Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) (vi) NPA (vii) Security and Exchange Commission etc
(b) FIRS and DPR takes cost of collection of 4% (Four percent) of Revenue collected while Customs collects 7%. In March 2022 for instance, FIRS took N15.4Billion as cost of collection and Customs took N8.4b. If these are annualised, FIRS and Customs collects about N1.84Billion and Customs N100B per annum. Obviously, some states of the Federation’s capital budget does not come close to these.
(c) Nigeria Federation has 49% shareholding in NLNG. According to the Minister of Finance during the 2020 budget performance brief at the National Assembly stated that the federation received dividend of N144billion (One Hundred and Forty Four Billion) from NLNG. These figure to the best of our knowledge was never paid into the Federation Account.
(d)) NNPC deducts N8.33Billion monthly for the rehabilitation of the Refineries in Nigeria. Till date no refinery is working.
(e) On priority projects of the Nation’s oil industry, NNPC deducted N788.78Billion for various investments between 2018-2021 without recourse to FAAC.
(f) NNPC in 2021 alone claimed to have paid over One Trillion Naira as petroleum subsidy. Indeed, the month of March 2022, N220Billion was deducted as oil subsidy with a promise that N328Billion will be deducted in April 2022. This is unacceptable.
(g) NNPC and FIRS as well as other remitting Agencies continue to apply an exchange rate of N389/$1 as against the Import and Export window of N416/$1. The extent of this leakage can be better felt, if this rate is compared to the current N570/$1.
(h) From available records about N7.6T is withheld between 2012 and 2021, by NNPC from the Federation Account. All these are said to be payments for oil subsidy.
(i) Conclusively, we believe that all these leakages in NNPC have been made possible because the President is also the Minister of Petroleum. The urgent separation of these two portfolios have become necessary
7. The Forum noted the approval by the PDP NEC of the Time Table and Timelines for Congresses and Convention of the Party and urged all party members and party leadership to remain focused and united to win power in 2023, to tackle the myriads of problems facing the country.
8. The PDP Governors congratulated the host, His Excellency, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, the PDP Governors’ Forum Vice Chairman, for his generosity and hospitality in the hosting of the meeting.
9. In attendance are:
• Gov. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal - Sokoto State - Chairman • Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu - Abia State - Vice Chairman • Gov. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri -Adamawa State • Gov. Udom Emmanuel - Akwa Ibom State • Gov. Bala Mohammed -Bauchi State • Gov. Sen. Douye Diri - Bayelsa State • Gov. Samuel Ortom -Benue State • Gov. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa - Delta State • Gov. Godwin Obaseki - Edo State • Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi - Enugu State • Gov. Engr. Oluseyi Abiodun Makinde - Oyo State • Gov. Nyesom Wike, CON - Rivers State • Hon Haruna Manu, Deputy Governor - Taraba State.
Bloody jokers! Who in their right senses will hand Nigeria over to a bunch of crooks again? Where is Dasuki & Deziani! Tufiakwa! Heavens forbid!
This Malami guy is just a joker. The Speaker just told us that the Executive does not have the constitutional right to remove even a “comma” from any Law passed by the National Assembly. The politically procured Court ruling is already on Appeal….hence the guy is just playing with words!
Realists: Aboki doing his thing without noise, can't imagine the level of noise the audio billionaires would have put us through had it been, Dangote is from their tribe.
Aboki Amaka
…..can you imagine the noise if Dangote was doing all this in another land where they prevent their citizens from going out to earn their daily bread. This man Dangote has a lot of sense o!
Kingozymandias: How many governors in any ithe region has championed the course of another region?
About the title I said if given the opportunity I would call Baba Asiwaju of the world.. he is indeed a great man by his tribes standards and a man I respect immensely but he dislikes my people so I can't love his and.hate mine, it doesn't work that way .
If it’s true that he dislikes your people, would he have appointed people like Ben Akabueze and others as commissioner or Adviser when he was Governor? He was not obliged to do that, was he? Also, why would you base your own likes and dislikes on what Tinubu chooses to do or not do. As a free human being, you’re responsible for your actions and inaction and you cannot stand in front of your Maker to say I disliked a certain group of people because I was of the belief that one guy called Tinubu did not like my people, or whatever. Is that how you think it should work?
Stop derailing the thread ... Well he deserves the award but again, I say his tribalism notoriety is what makes me not like him.
Igbos will gladly vote Osibanjo because he has never referred to us in a derogatory manner or in a tribalistic way...
Tinubu called us okoros like who does that. ? Is he the best candidate? Without a doubt unless Osibanjo starboy runs... But no he is tribalistic.
Worse still are Tinubu supporters like yourself.. you guys are so tribalistic you don't help his case . I am yet to meet a sound intelligent Tinubu supporter who can speak in a respectful and coherent manner about issues without descending into the gutter
I suppose disagreeing with you means descending into the gutter? And what is this about tribalism? How many Governors in your region can boast of having promoted the cause of various other tribes in Nigeria? That’s why a northerner can call him Asiwaju of NIGERIA. Think about that!
More like he is being coached on what to say, and what to tell the people he’s standing for. Does he have any ideas of his own? I fear that this guy is going to be a disaster if he ever gets there. Hope it won’t be parties everyday for the Dancing Governor!!
Why the Guard of Honour and all the paraphernalia? Is it an official visit to Lagos State? Commissioning Dangote’s fertiliser plant should be a private affair and should not call for all this show. At best he should have sent his VP. This President likes junketing too much!
What kind of rubbish is this? Sowore is merely playing to the gallery. Is it everyone that comes to congratulate you on your Birthday that is also supporting your political views or aspirations? The visit as well as the organised football match was to commemorate Tinubu’s 70th Birthday Anniversary and not necessarily to endorse him for the Presidency…..why can’t people distinguish between the two? This is sooo nauseating! I wonder what they will do on the actual date when the usual annual Colloquium is billed to hold….jobless lot filled with envy!
….And what do they do in your own region? Or are you all Saints? Imagine two Anambra women (supposed dignitaries) fighting in public. No need to comment further: By their fruits, yee shall know them!!
fergie001: Shina Peller, a member of the House of Representatives has described former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar GCON, as 'a typical Nigerian politician who is ever ready to manipulate the people.'
In a post, via Instagram, Peller who represents lseyin/ltesiwaju/Kajola/lwajowa Federal Constituency (APC-Oyo State) backed the call for the Presidency to return South in 2023.
It is also wrong to start counting the number of people who have wielded EXECUTIVE POWER IN NIGERIA only from 1999! Was Nigeria’s Independence attained just in 1999? What about the military rulership?….were people like SHAGARI, IBB, GOWON, MURTALA MUHAMMED, BUHARI & ABUBAKAR not all from the North wielding Executive Powers regardless of the dress they parade themselves in? The North has ruled Nigeria for more than 44 years already. People like Atiku are so deceitful …..just trying to twist facts in their favour so as to appear victimised when they’re actually the ones lording it over others. We’re not fools, you know!!
