9. What day is it today?

There is no one that has earned my admiration so far for me to be enthusiastic to meet... so who would you love to meet in reality, either to bash his or her head or maybe a date ?

This is where naija gets it wrong.... when one idiot will be sharing 500naira @ the polling booth.

Buhari is going the way Obasanjo, only that Obasanjo was using only the EFCC. But PMB is using both the EFCC, DSS, SSS, the Nigerian Military and the Nigerian Police to go after people that criticises him. Olisa Metuh spoke, few weeks later he was arrested. I'm very sure if Fayose wasn't a Governor he would have been picked up since but they are trying to use the lawmakers instead. I wonder the sort of politics been played in Nigeria, No more freedom of speech. It has suddenly become OPENLY CRITICIZE THE RULING PARTY AT YOUR RISK.

Britain's flashiest tourist has arrived in London with a fleet of gold cars worth more than £1 million.
The super-rich young Saudi recently jetted into the UK with several friends. But instead of taking the Tube or taxis, he has also flown in a number of outlandish cars for travelling around the capital.
All of the exotic motors are wrapped in gold vinyl, with a model for every occasion.
The maddest-looking motor is a £370,000 Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 - a six-wheel off-roader more suited to the sand dunes of Saudi Arabia than the congested streets of Kensington.
He also has a Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe, a two-door version of the world's most desirable limousine.
With a 6.75-litre engine, the £350,000 vehicle - described by the British manufacturer as being perfect for transcontinental adventures - will reach speeds of 155mph.

The super-rich young Saudi recently jetted into the UK with a number of friends. A gold Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe worth £350k
For outright performance, the young man - believed to be in his 20s - has also got a Lamborghini Aventador SuperVeloce.
The supercar, worth around £350,000, has a 6.5-litre V12 engine which accelerates from 0-62mph in 2.7 seconds and has a top speed of 217mph.
A gold Mercedes 6x6 worth £370k and a Lamborghini Aventador SV worth £350k
The Saudi petrolhead has also brought along his gold Bentley Flying Spur, which has been customised by Mansory. The four-door £220,000 limousine will hit 200mph.
Every year, wealthy luxury owners arrive in London from the Middle East with their collection of flash supercars.
On a number of occasions, the foreign supercars have been driven dangerously around the affluent residential streets, angering locals who are kept awake by the sound of revving engines.
Last year, following numerous complaints, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea introduced a Public Spaces Protection Order in Knightsbridge.
Motorists are now banned from revving their engine, rapidly accelerating, racing, performing stunts, sounding horns or causing obstructions. They are also prohibited from leaving the engine of a stationary car running.
Over the past three weeks, seven drivers have been handed fixed penalty notices.
Council leader Cllr Nick Paget-Brown said: "It's too early yet to judge the success of the PSPO but the police and the council will continue to ticket drivers who breach it until the message gets through that our residents are not to be disturbed by supercars."

The Chief Media Consultant to the Forum of Spokespersons of Security and Response Agencies (FOSSRA), Yushau Shuaib, has resigned his intermediary role, amidst allegations that the Jon-Odeh led presidential panel investigating arms procurement during the last administration, is criminalising the mandate and misleading the president.

In a statement on Monday, Mr. Shuaib who was engaged by a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, to serve as media consultant to military, security, intelligence and response organisations under a unified platform, had as his core mandate the responsibility of positioning the agencies for desired public perception and changing the negative narratives regarding the war against terror.

In the letter of resignation submitted to the Chairman of the Forum, the Director Defence Information (DDI) Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, Yushau Shuaib said the he is resigning from the position, which was under the auspices of the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), because of the misleading report by presidential committee under the same ONSA, for unjustly accusing almost all institutions and individuals that served the office without fair hearing.

He also said he would soon institute a court action against the presidential panel to protect her integrity and hard earned reputation.

According to Shuaib, he has served the country with all the patriotism in him since 2013 when he was appointed to be the go between with all the major security and response agencies and the media in the country. “For genuine reasons and concern, our strategic team managed many humiliating and embarrassing reports from leakages, including alleged terrorists’ attacks in the hometowns of top security officers in the current administration.”

Saying, “while the Jon Ode led-Panel deliberately refuses to acknowledge successes recorded by previous administration in the war on terror, the team has only succeeded in misleading the president with its biased reports that create unnecessary anxiety in the polity.” he said.

Shuaib stated that the organisation, Image Merchants, he founded with 20 people under his employment, must have provoked the Jon-Ode led panel to indict the organisation in its recent report, because of an article he published on the security platform PR Nigeria to tell Nigerian the efforts of the Goodluck Jonathan administration to defeat the terror elements in the northeast.

“It is mere mischief for the Jon Ode-panel to indict an umbrella strategic communication outfit that was not involved in partisan politics but provided proofs of its assignment and paid the full taxes demanded by the panel only for the same panel to turn around and claimed nothing was done just few days after an article we published exposing the lies being orchestrated that no weapons were bought by the previous administration for the prosecution of war on terror.”

queried the rationale behind empowering a Panel of Procurement of Arms that is composed of retired and serving military officers to also be saddled with probing contracts and services that have nothing to do with arms and ammunition. With such enormous powers, “the retired AVM Jon Ode-Presidential Panel under ONSA is merely criminalizing critical institutions and indicting groups and individuals in the media without being arraigned in the court of law where the accused could prove their innocence.”

While cautioning President Buhari to be weary of those he has given responsibilities to without doing a comprehensive background check on their past antecedents, life styles and experiences, Shuaib said “it is appalling the continued exposure of our judiciary to public ridicule in the sensationalised anti-corruption campaigns. In this context, it is foolhardy for anyone to now contemplate using a PR agency to rubbish media integrity as another critical stakeholder. PR people engage the media professionally and responsibly to achieve strategic objectives.

He might be a nudist

A million and one women will do the same thing.

When GEJ was in power and he was been criticised for somethings, what I told people was "he who wears the shoe knows where it hurts". The same set of people that called GEJ clueless becos he couldn't address some of Nigeria's problems are the same people finding it hard to move forward. For the APC e-warriors ready to jump to say "give them time", i'll ask, weren't they aware of the issues on ground before making promises of transforming Nigeria with a year? Petrol was never a problem in the past admin. At this point I will call GEJ a prophet when he said "Nigerians will miss me when I leave"

I wonder if APC thinks all Nigerians are under their spell that everyone will believe whatever they publish in the media. On alleged attempted assassination of Dakuku, I wonder if the APC thinks Nigerians are feeble minded to believe their story . But we aren't surprise tho, it isn't today that the APC started trying to heat up the Polity. If you lose, go back and re-strategize, it isn't a do or die affair.

I prefer non-virgins jare even as a wife... I no fit carry non-tested enter my house.

And your grammer is a childish and immature of this thread...

Thanks for noticing the "grammer"

I'm not a big fan of Amaechi, but Wike is childish and immature for dis statement.

I really won't blame her. The only thing that is strong enough to plunge the world into chaos is religion. People in the world are losing their sense of humanity on basis of religion. Sunnis and Shi'ites don't get along, Jews and christians, xtians and Muslims but we forget that we are all humans.

IMSU

I'm in support of dis 100%. The same money meant for dis poor local govts, these people korlorbi d money and later use dis same people during elections forming political gladiators and putting these same communities at the centre of their war.

I thought this old comedian said he would pay salary... I didn't read the story at all, but anything that has to do with this man name irritates me. So if I see any headline with "Are", I for don insult his generations before I even see "gbesola". Anyway i'm waiting for PMB to appoint him after he's out.

Thnks for the info... I've being having pop up messages for the update. I never wanted t update it becos i did a jailbreak on 9.2 nd I will have to wait to so anoda jailbreak on the new one.

“Brute force without wisdom falls under its own weight”. Horace, 65-8BC. VANGUARD BOOK OF QUOTATIONS, VBQ, p 63.

One of the “bad” habits of professional economists is the tendency to quantify virtually everything. They develop metrics for assessing real human experiences in a manner that reveals certain truths which might be hidden from others. Like most Nigerians, it was clear to me, as a strong supporter of Buhari, long before the 2015 presidential elections that we might be electing a military-style disciplinarian. After all, the best guess regarding what a person would do in a given situation is provided by his performance when placed in a similar situation in the past. In January 1984, Buhari became the Head of State after a coup planned and successfully executed by others. Thereafter, he and the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarter, late Major-General Tunde Idiagbon, unleashed the most draconian regime Nigeria had ever experienced until Abacha’s more murderous one. Incidentally, of all the military leaders in their set, only Buhari could be trusted by Abacha to work with him as Chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF. Those of us who remembered the lop-sidedness of the allocation of funds between North and South will not readily agree that it was a great accomplishment. We have forgiven but not forgotten what happened. We expected Buhari to be a stern disciplinarian as civilian president. “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” – as everybody knows. But, we also assumed that we missed the chance to see the benevolent side of the man because his former “All Stick and no Carrots” regime was short-lived. To be quite candid there was no lasting legacy from that regime other than the monthly sanitation exercise. So eager were they to whack everybody on the head they hardly found time to introduce any programme designed to make life worth living for Nigerians. With his second coming as a civilian president, supported by others who we thought understood the meaning of democracy, it was expected that his government, this time, would serve the people a mixture of the discipline needed to set Nigeria right again after sixteen woeful years under Obasanjo, Yar’Adua and mostly Jonathan and compassion. Ten months into his four years and what we are witnessing is a government that is all stick and no carrots. The point was made about quantifying everything. At first, the tendency was unnoticeable. But, gradually, it became so obvious it could no longer be ignored. More than his so-called body language is his choice of words and the frequency. Words like vandals, culprits, looters, saboteurs etc. With every one of those attached to, usually unnamed individuals, the president declares that they will be punished, dealt with etc. Harsh words, and perhaps deserved by some people if they are identified. But, not once in the month of March was it announced that President Buhari sent a condolence message to the leaders of Agatu in one instance or to Governor Ambode of Lagos State after the building collapse which claimed many lives. Granted a presidential condolence message would not revive the dead. But, it would tell the people of Nigeria that they have a leader who cares about their lives – wretched as those lives might be. What is even more disturbing is the fact that having declared the unnamed individuals saboteurs, Nigerians waited for weeks or months for the broad accusation to be substantiated. Yet no proof emerges. The allegation that the 2016 Budget was padded was made by Buhari on February 23, 2016. Till today, not a single person had been presented to the public as one of the “culprits” who he vowed will be punished. How much time is required to spot where the budget was padded and who did them? The emphasis on punishment has become so common that the question can be asked if Buhari thinks that arrest, detention and imprisonment of offenders is the sole business of government. “If you can keep your head while others around you are losing theirs…you will be a man my boy” said Rudyard Kipling, 1865-1936. But good old Ruddy could be wrong; you might be keeping your head because you don’t have a good grasp of the situation. In sharp contrast to the fast and easy answers about punishment of miscreants, Buhari had been very silent and almost unconcerned about the economy and how it is affecting the lives of 170 million Nigerians. The only statement credited to him about the economy was totally wrong. He claimed that the Nigerian economy is the fastest growing in Africa and one of the fastest in the world. That shows how totally divorced from reality our leader is. It is understandable. He and his Ministers and assistants have no problem – they have well-paid jobs and there is free food in the Aso restaurant. The same cannot be said about millions of Nigerians – including the employed who are owed salaries by their employers. Public servants in most states are in a fix and riots might soon break out in some states on account of mounting unpaid salaries. Simultaneously, prices of goods and services are going up and his own government has added some surcharges to peoples’ expenses. The Federal government’s budget is in a mess and the outcome is doubtful. Perhaps out of desperation, Professor Wole Soyinka proposed an economic summit or conference (what’s in a name?) to address what concerns most people in this country – their means of livelihood. It was shocking that the government had to be prodded to undertake something which other governments globally take as routine. As if to prove that the economy was not considered important enough, a panel was established. Then, a date set; and no summit was started on due date. That is the peoples’ carrot they are toying with. What is coming through in all these is a government lacking in compassion; it provides neither psychological nor physical sustenance to the people. History might be repeating itself in one aspect. From January 1984 to 1985, Buhari and Idiagbon also ran a self-righteous government without compassion. In the end, even their colleagues in the armed forces had enough; and the rest is history….. COMING SOON – SENATE DOMINATED BY PDP. “Thanks for Fortune and her treacherous wheel. That suffers no estate on earth to feel secure.” Geoffrey Chaucer, 1342-1400. VBQ 65. If the “All Stick and no Carrot” approach to governance continues, Nigerians can expect the Senate to return to the PDP any time soon. APC now has a slim majority of four. Three, names withheld, are poised to move immediately. Another two or three might join them…

I just wish to have that as pet

Why must u kill the snake? I wouldn't mind keeping it as a pet

PassingShot:
For any set of people, be they militants, secessionists or terrorists, to think they can have easy rides in this administration as they did in the last one, is tantamount to foolery and idiocy.

I ask, is this how Tompolo will live a fugitive life for the next 7 years or so?

It's Sad that you could make such comment and deviating from the who situation. From the story above, what the naval office did was clearly murder. He wasn't armed nor were there any sign of them vandalising crude oil pipeline. So the naval officer is justified for killing because he is Tompolo's kinsman. Well I guess if such is done in Lagos, this wouldn't be what you'll say.

I'm from the most criticised and feared part in Imo, but I tell you that no member of my close family is anything like what the people from my side are described as. My folks are very liberal and this tribe ish don't even matter to them.
