Am a public servant in need of a house in Abuja. I need a 2 bedroom flat I can pay for over a reasonable period of time.

christianity is synonymous to deceit, hipocracy and the religion itself is built on the foundation of lies.

The level of hatred and intolerance in xtianity is imeasurable. Islam allows a man to marry a xtian woman while she still practice her religion. In any xtian home, they will never allow such. Even a househelp from a muslim home will never be allowed to practice her religion not to talk of a relative left in their care.
Hopeless bunch of deceitful and mischievous rascals

when CAN was all over ASO Rock during Jonathan reign, no one cries christenization of Nigeria.

when the common criminals called boko haram were unleashing terror and dragging the name of islam into the mud YOU said the muslim leaders and clerics are not saying or doing enough to stop them.

Now Buhari wants to join forces with those who want to bring terrorism to its kneels YOU said it is islamising Nigeria.

If xtianity as a religion has become so vulnurable and insecure desite the boast of spirituality and versatility then I pity the religion and its followers.

over the years xtians, most of them has totally lost morals and spirituality because all efforts are geared towards ridiculing islam. The myriads of problems weighing down xtianity were never addressed and left to fettered.

May your case not be like a man who carry someone else load on his head and drag his along on a messy road.

story like this is becoming one too many. No serious minded Muslim will say all xtians or all pastors are rapists.
No sane Muslim will say all easterners rapes. In the words of Chimamanda, there is no single story about a group.
Pls let us be guided in our utterances and how we make blanket statement about a people.

Let me inform who cares to know the implications of running down polytechnic education in Nigeria:

1. Continuous decay in infrastructures occasioned by lack of technicians. That is why we always say Nigerians do not have maintenance culture.

2 . Too much emphasis on paper qualification.

3. Overstretching of infrastructures in the universities.

4. Churning out of theorist. A reason why we have too many reports of committees, papers on reforms that never transforms into reality.

5. It is the reason we import and cannot manufacture anything.

6. High cost of bringing in technocrats to maintain some of our facilities in various establisments.

The recognition of self and the tendency of humans to want to dominate one another has always been the architect of injustice that breeds hatred, disatisfaction, civil unrest and even terrorism.
The Uni. and the Poly. education are meant to serve different purposes in the economy of any nation, such that one should not be made subservient to another.
If you are a graduate of a Uni. pls try once in a while to play the Poly grad. for it is those who feels it that knows it.
In a nutshell, the poly graduates have not only been metted with injustice, they have been stigmatised along side with their certificates.

dem go hear ?

Federal Fire Service Comptroller General In Massive Fraud!
By NewsAdmin on March 30, 2012

Not a few Nigerians are of the opinion that the nation’s Fire Service lacks capacity, both in terms of manpower and equipment to adequately cope with the challenges that come with the discharge of its duties. While the general public is made to believe that the Fire Service is underfunded by the Federal Government, investigations conducted by Street Journal have revealed that gigantic frauds perpetrated by top officials of the Federal Fire Service have gone unnoticed over the last few years.

Not too long ago, the Federal Government decided to open up the sector and allow private participation. It was however found out that the guidelines put in place for the take off were such that could not be met, not even by the Federal Fire Service. Findings revealed that the Fire Service did not consult any stakeholder in the industry before concluding the guidelines; rather, they were only invited to its public presentation.

Street Journal’s findings linked the ownership of a private Fire Service company, Oke Fire to the Comptroller General of the Fire Service, James Olusegun Okebiorun. Further probe also yielded that Oke Fire is a joint venture between the Comptroller General and Captain Emmanuel Iheanacho, the former Minister of Interior. There were allegations then that the two men floated the company in order to use their positions to corner jobs for the company by operating their company in a setting where they are regulators.

Street Journal has also found out that apart from the private interest of the Comptroller General of the Service conflicting with that of the Fire Service and the good of the Nigerian public once in a while, public funds meant for the use of the fire service can hardly be accounted for as allegations of mismanagement and private appropriation of public funds have trailed officials.

Investigations revealed that most of the equipments for which provisions were made in the annual budget were not procured while the funds were expended. It was found out that public funds were diverted constantly to private accounts as companies’ names were used to siphon public funds without any work done.

An example is the case of Kingsville Educational Services, which checks at the Corporate Affairs Commission revealed to be jointly owned by the present Comptroller General and his wife Temilola. A Chartered Bank Cheque was issued to one G.J Anebi, an official of the Federal Fire Service and the funds were meant for an official assignment. Incidentally, the cheque issued on April 30, 2003 belongs to Kingsville Educational Services with the account number 7200013352.

The Federal Fire Service has also received more than N 1.5 billion for the development of the National Fire Academy, and what is on ground is not commensurate with the amount that has been expended on it.

Street Journal also found out that cases of tender splitting have become a regular occurrence in the Federal Fire Service with the Comptroller General ensuring that the scrutiny of Due Process is prevented, an act that contravenes Section 58(d) of the Public Procurement Act 2007.

Contrary to what the average Nigerian is made to believe that the Federal Fire Service is underfunded, the high level of corruption that exists within the service has prevented any meaningful development from taking place within the service. There is hardly a section where fraud is not perpetrated by the senior officials of the service.

Ask the top officials of the Federal Fire Service about hydrants and they will tell you that the Service maintains hydrants in all the 36 states of the federation with huge amounts. Street Journal has however found out that the hydrants are only being maintained on paper as the location of the hydrants cannot be ascertained. Investigations also revealed that though the Fire Service is expected to have established at least 15 Fire Stations nationwide, but as at now, the Service cannot boast of five.

Over the last four years, the Federal Fire Service has recorded not less than N 3 billion in capital allocation, yet the Service cannot boast of effective fire fighting equipments. The rot within the service became obvious after the bomb attack on the Police Headquarters in Abuja where the inadequacy of the Fire Service was greatly exposed.

Findings revealed that on the average, a good fire fighting truck costs about N 40 million, thus indicating that the Federal Fire Service should be able to conveniently purchase a number of such.

The fraud in the Federal Fire Service has a pretty long history and it dates back to years ago. It was found out that in 2002, the then Comptroller General, Fidelis Okpogo mismanaged more than N160 million belonging to the Federal Fire Service. As at then, the Fire Service was under the Ministry of Works and as the Comptroller General was at liberty to expend funds as long as such funds did not exceed N 995,000 (Nine hundred and ninety five thousand Naira). Street Journal gathered that the CG signed and spent most of the monies all alone. To do this without raising any dust, he spent the amount by breaking it into denominated contracts that did not exceed his approval limit.

At a point, the then Comptroller General’s spending was investigated by the Independent and Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), but buttons were allegedly pressed from the top to scuttle the investigation. The Investigation Police Officer, Chiedu Nwokoma was suddenly transferred outside the Federal Capital Territory on the orders of the then Inspector General of Police who happened to be a close pal of the CG.

The N 160 million that was mismanaged by the former Fire Service Chief would have purchased a good number of fire fighting trucks based on the market rates then.

In September 2004, a contract for the Re-engineering and Rehabilitation of SS600 Hydraulic Platform for Fire Fighting in High Rise Buildings at the sum of N 30 million Naira.

Street Journal found out that as Comptroller General, Mr. Okpogo used a company, EFA Sales South Africa as conduit. The company carried out repair works on the 16-year-old equipment to the tune of N 30 million. Not a few Nigerians would be shocked to hear that the Comptroller General never raised an eyebrow over the amount; rather, he openly said the company’s bid was the best. Street Journal also found out that the repairs did not solve the issue of the leaking tank that has bedevilled the particular fire truck for some time now. Meanwhile, investigations revealed that it would cost between N 50 and N 60 million to buy the new model of the equipment that was repaired for N 30 million.

Surprisingly, the claim was upheld by Due Process and a certificate was issued for N 30 million, duly signed by Obiageli Ezekwesili, the then Senior Special Assistant to the President on Budget Monitoring and Price Intelligence Unit.

There have been various allegations that the South African company belongs to the former CG and some of his friends. Street Journal’s investigations also revealed that the few people that were carried along by Mr. Okpogo in his activities included Mr. Okebiorun, (the present Comptroller General) who served as the Assistant Director Fire Service then, the Head of Corporate Affairs, who allegedly helped to suppress all insinuations from the press and the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development as well as the Due Process office who deliberately ignored their functions.

A look into the budget of the Fire Service for the year 2010 showed that a number of capital projects were listed, they include the supply of furniture items to the Federal Fire Service Headquarters, Garki, Abuja for which the sum of N 9.51 million was expended, supply of 5 Bulls Eye Trainer Packages, which gulped N 9.7 million, the purchase of fire protection clothing and hot fire gears for training purposes gulped N 28.013 million. Protection clothing and shoes were also supplied at N 8.65 million. Meanwhile, a lot of officials have disclosed that most of the items on the list have not been sighted by men of the service.

Despite insinuations and affirmations from its officials that the service is underfunded by the government, its budget for N 2011 was N 490, 054,000 (Four hundred and ninety million and fifty four thousand Naira). Interestingly, in the 2011 budget proposal, the Fire Service earmarked BN 10 million for the purchase of Protection clothing and Hot fire gears for training purposes while N 5 million was to be spent on the procurement of 500 Library books, journals and training CDs. The sum of N 2,000,000 also appeared in the 2011 budget for the furnishing of the Comptroller General’s house with items to be procured listed as bed/ beddings, kitchen cabinet/wares, laundry equipment, electronics, settee, dinning sets, fridges, A/Cs, shelves and curtains. N 5 million was voted for the furnishing of Senior officers’ quarters, while N 7.5 million was voted for the purchase of office equipment including photocopiers, computers, printers, UPS, stabilizers, fridges, A/Cs and fans.

There are indications that the present CG only took off from where his predecessor stopped while those who know the internal workings of the service have opined that the leadership of the Fire Service has become a “turn by turn” arrangement for senior officials waiting in the wings to milk the agency dry.

and dis?

like dis?

Ajiboma and Caye Thanks, Ur contributions has been helful. Pls keep it coming.

Please can I have lists of songs that celeberates fatherhood, I realy need this as I am expecting the arrival of my first baby.

We met on the internet and four years later we were declared man and woman. It's been fun so far

TPIA, I gave an amount more than 200, but its not the issue here. I only asked people's opinion about the issue. Women especially do talk about men asking them to sleep with them before giving jobs and craps like that. Personally I detest such

RONKEBP, u are right, it was the same thing I told her after I spare he what I could.

You are probably one of those guys that will not do a favour to women without asking her to sleep with u. Whatever happens to kindness in the hearts of men

Some men are simply mean and heartless. I am a man, but I can never derive joy in seeing my fellow men hurt let alone a woman.

This lady was financially handicapped. All she had at the bank is N2,300.00. When the hunger was becoming unbearable, she went to the counter and filled N 1,300 on the teller. The cashier said the least amount she can left in her acct. is N2000.

Confused and embarrased, she later summoned courage and asked a man for N200 for T.Fare and the man asked her to wait. He completed his transaction only to come back and told her he can give her more than that if she will follow her to a nearby hotel. Tears rolled down uncontrollably down her cheeks as she walk away.

Pls wat do u think of men like this

Sure, Kemmeye. Its me

like dis one

They all do. She love dis and wat it does to her .

1. Our Holy prophet (SAW) has said: whoever recites the first 4 ayats

*2. Imam Ali (AS) was told by our Holy Prophet: Qur'an is a great word, and Surae Baqarah is the leader of the Qur'an and Ayatul Kursi is the leader of Surae Baqarah. In Ayatul Kursi there are 50 words and for each word there are 50 blessings and good in it.

grave.

*7. Frequent recitation makes ones own death easy.

*8. When leaving home, if one recites it once, the Almighty has one group of Angels to come and protect you. If recited twice, 2 groups of

reward of the prophets, and his deeds will be like those of the truthful(Siddiqeen) and nothing except death will stop will stop him from
going into heaven.

*15. To increase light or vision (noor) in the eyes, recite Surae Alhamd once, then Ayatul Kursi and then once the following dua:- "U-eedhu nora

I hope it will benefit my muslim brothers and sisters.

Allah is the proper name in Arabic for The One and Only God, The Creator and Sustainer of the universe. It is used by the Arab Christians and Jews for the God (Eloh-im in Hebrew; 'Allaha' in Aramaic, the mother tongue of Jesus). The word Allah does not have a plural or gender. Allah does not have any associate or partner, and He does not beget nor was He begotten. SWT is an abbreviation of Arabic words that mean 'Glory Be To Him.'
s or pbuh: Peace Be Upon Him. This expression is used for all Prophets of Allah

If ur problem is with the name ISLAM and not the banking system, then u do not have problems. U jst making mountain out of mole hill, looking for trouble where there is none, u are jst being intolerable to a religion because u do not belong to it.

Islam accomodates xtianity to a greater extent than xtianity to islam. Its razor sharp utterances like these and debasing statement from our xtian fellows that causes fracas. Pls lets be moderate in all our doings and learn to respect beliefs of others.

Untill we put sentiments and destructive emotions behind us when it comes to issues of religion in this country, we will not make any reasonable progress. These constant relapse to emotional and sentimental feelings has casted a hood over the objective reasoning and analytical prowess of Nigerians. Little surprise, when you see a highly educated person(s) make comments on issues or take some actions that left so much to be desired.

While we are discussing fiscal issues here some people are busy castigating and saying things that cut like a knife against other peoples' belief and religion. This is realy uncalled for. Sanusi pursues issues with doggedness as long as he believe it is a just course. When he stood his ground against the threats and intimidation of law makers about their take home pay, we all applauded his stance and Nigerians spoke with one voice supporting him, what has happenede to that unanimous support, now that he asked that interest free banking system be introduce into the economy of this country. Both religion support this notion. Pls read your Bible and Quran thoroughly.

As long as some xtians cannot stand their fellow country men who are muslims. Saying words that hurts, hurling insults and abuse at the Holy Prophet at every little opportunity amounts to causing emotional trauma and abuse to those who are faithfuls of such religion. An emotionally battered individuals or group is prone to fight back when he has his fill . Xtians should therefore desist from insultive tendencies, because for every action there is a reaction. No right thinking muslim will dare say inflamatory things against Jesus christ as it is sinful in the sight of the most high God.Pls lets give peace a chance

While intellectuals are discussing important issues and proffering solutions to acts perceived as threat to this nation of ours some people with low mentality and shallow reasoning are busy adding salt to injury. When two pple are discussing , u will know with the passing of time a problem solver and one who is good at nothing but to aggravate matters. If we let HORRIBLE creatures like HARDBODY, AK47MANN AND PURESTBODY a minute on the platform of decision making, they are going to cause havoc that generation yet unborn will suffer. Emotion that boils beyond control brings nothing but destruction, I see a great similarities in the xters of the boko haram and the three pple mentioned above.

I've really been restless and disturbed, but I hve been quiet about it all this while. If there is anything I dread doing now is abortion. When She called this morning, I concentrated my conversation with her on reminding her about how open I had been with her in relation to my relationship and my reluctance in getting intimate with her on that day. I now told her that now my fiancee is pregnant and that my wedding needs to be hasten now

I pointed out to her that I will now have to live with my wife and she may be left alone to cater for her self. She said it's a double blessing , I kept my cool. And kept persuading her to see the awkwardness of the whole situation. She later told me that I need to personally instruct her to go get rid of it.

I got her some contraceptives after the act and I dowse my self in anti biotics

are u a baby? Why would a lady tell you not to use condom and you too you did not use condom, are u for real?

ronkebp, U are a woman and u know how u pple get at us if u realy want to. She told me she was safe.

He should discuss this with his wife and express his feelings about her action. Her reaction to his observation should form the basis for action. Guess he acted rashly. He was probably just joking abt sleeping over at the office. He expected his wife to vehemently rejected his suggestion which she did not.

And when he came home and met her in the childrens' room, he got all hot up and concluded too quickly that his woman no longer value his presence.

Women should always realise that men are their adult child and so should be accorded attention.
