Kukutente23:
It's still same old tactic. Looking to guilt- trip western nations by accusing them of being behind economic exploitation and the political instability of African countries.
Meanwhile, the West will also fire back by showing the African countries a long list of African leaders with wealth and properties scattered all over the West. So who is going to blink first by then?
One of such fiasco birthed efcc

So is the birth of the EFCC a bad thing? If both sides hold each other accountable then the society develops - no?

Not sure what your point is here.

Exactly moreso TALK IS CHEAP!





ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN VOICE...afterall this BAT administration will still lookup to funds from same peeps.




Wittyness

That is a different point - you said he delivered the usual talking points. That is clearly not true. Of course we will now watch to see if actions will follow words but don't pretend he didn't say something different. That is unfair.

limeta:
Nigeria Africa do not need weak ass licker as leader right now
Tinubu did not raise dust with this speech but instead
towed the same line most Africa leaders have dare to utter over the years .
It now evidently clear that Tinubu is a place holder for the neon colonial masters namely US ,UK and France

The old saying you can't teach an old dog a new trick
The new Africa is too fast for oldies like Tinubu.

Did you read that speech at all?

You didn't absorb all these?

This is my first address before the General Assembly. Permit me to say a few words on behalf of Nigeria, on behalf of Africa, regarding this year’s theme.

1. Many proclamations have been made, yet our troubles remain close at hand. Failures in good governance have hindered Africa. But broken promises, unfair treatment and outright exploitation from abroad have also exacted a heavy toll on our ability to progress. Given this long history, if this year’s theme is to mean anything at all, it must mean something special and particular to Africa.


2. Today and for several decades, Africa has been asking for the same level of political commitment and devotion of resource that described the Marshall Plan. We realize that underlying conditions and causes of the economic challenges facing today’s Africa are significantly different from those of post war Europe. We are not asking for identical programs and actions. What we seek is an equally firm commitment to partnership. We seek enhanced international cooperation with African nations to achieve the 2030 agenda and Sustainable Development Goals.


3. First, if this year’s theme is to have any impact at all, global institutions, other nations and their private sector actors must see African development as a priority, not just for Africa but in their interests as well.

Due to both longstanding internal and external factors, Nigeria’s and Africa’s economic structures have been skewed to impede development, industrial expansion, job creation, and the equitable distribution of wealth.

If Nigeria is to fulfil its duty to its people and the rest of Africa, we must create jobs and the belief in a better future for our people.

3. We welcome partnerships with those who do not mind seeing Nigeria and Africa assume larger roles in the global community. The question is not whether Nigeria is open for business. The question is how much of the world is truly open to doing business with Nigeria and Africa in an equal, mutually beneficial manner.

Direct investment in critical industries, opening their ports to a wider range and larger quantity of African exports and meaningful debt relief are important aspects of the cooperation we seek.

4. Yet, to fully corral this threat, the international community must strengthen its commitment to arrest the flow of arms and violent people into West Africa.

5. The world economy owes the DRC much but gives her very little. The mayhem visited on resource rich areas does not respect national boundaries. Sudan, Mali, Burkina Faso, CAR, the list grows.

6. Foreign entities abetted by local criminals who aspire to be petty warlords have drafted thousands of people into servitude to illegally mine gold and other resources. Billions of dollars meant to improve the nation now fuel violent enterprises. If left unchecked, they will threaten peace and place national security at grave risk. Given the extent of this injustice and the high stakes involved, many Africans are asking whether this phenomenon is by accident or by design.

7. Member nations must reply by working with us to deter their firms and nationals from this 21st century pillage of the continent’s riches.

8. African nations will fight climate change but must do so on our own terms. To achieve the needed popular consensus, this campaign must accord with overall economic efforts.

9. The pillage of one nation’s resources by the overreach of firms and people of stronger nations must end. The will of the people must be respected. This beauty, generous and forgiving planet must be protected.

10. As for Africa, we seek to be neither appendage nor patron. We do not wish to replace old shackles with new ones.

Kenneth4u205:
Foolish senator. Is it everyone that has money for autopsy?. Your suggestion will only make sense is Nigeria government makes Autopsy to be free of charge to everybody. But that will never happen

You are advertising your business yet making silly comments. Who will hire a writer that cannot even read one or two paragraphs to see that the Senator has proposed that the government will cover the bills?

What's wrong with you?

davodyguy:
If he is wise, he would claim he meant help by encouraging words.

To help can mean different things

You think the Court is bound to accept any and every story you decide to tell??

Lol. He should try that and see.

AntiChristian:
I have lived many decades and still never killed!
Even with the schools of thought the five pillars of Islam and six articles of faith are still sacrosanct!

What does celestial church have in common with Presbyterian, seven days Adventist, Cherubim and Seraphim or Catholic church?

The Bible and all its core teachings such as the 10 commandments. You clearly haven't through this through have you? lol.

AntiChristian:
Because many Jesus dey!

Because many Bible interpretations dey!

Because many denominations dey!

Because churches churn out plenty dough!

I go just enter one mosque pray when it's prayer time!
..............................................................

Prologue:
[Jesus said,] I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one. . . . I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me— so that they may be brought to complete unity. (John 17:20–23)

Paul said:
I appeal to you . . . that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.(1 Corinthians 1:10)

That’s a nice thought, but has any prayer failed more spectacularly? Christianity is more than just Roman Catholics and Baptists and Methodists, Presbyterian, 7days Adventists, Anglican, Redeem and maybe a thousand more—there are now over 45,000 denominations, and Christianity is fragmenting at a rate of two new denominations per day.

In Mathew 7:7, Jesus said ask and you will be given...But here Jesus asked but was not given!
So how to build a Central Church for all?

HOW TO BUILD A CENTRAL CHURCH
By Bashir Lucas Samson Lukman

Over the years, different Christian denominations have risen making it difficult to know which of these denominations are really following the teachings of Jesus Christ and which are the heretics. Each denomination with one or two differences in contrast to other denominations ranging from the number of books in their Bible, mode and time of worship and who exactly is to be worshipped.

It would surprise no one to know that Muslims have a unifying mode of worship, very unique, facing the same direction and reciting from the Quran consisting of the same chapters. I think it is high time Christendom rose to address and solve the problem of disunity among them.
The Muslims have a central mosque at local, state, national and international level respectively unlike Christianity. Now, the question is, is it possible to unite all Christian denominations probably by having a central church where different denominations can worship?? It is almost impossible or else the points listed below could be addressed/tackled.

I think one of the first step in successfully having a central church is for the Catholic Church to ask the protestant churches to "BRING BACK OUR BOOKS". It is obvious that the Catholic Bibles consist of 73 Books while the protestant Bibles consist of 66 books. After the protestants rebelled/revolted against the Catholic churches, they decided that God only inspired 66books.To have a peaceful and organized central church, there should be an agreement on how many books should the Bibles consist of so that there wouldn't be commotion in the central church.

Another issue that needs to be addressed to have a peaceful and organized central church is how to resolve the differences between the KJV Bible and the RSV, NIV and NWT Bible. The KJV Bible needs to tell these versions to "BRING BACK OUR VERSES". The RSV Bible unceremoniously expunged 16verses from its pages whereas these verses are in the Kjv Bible. If this issue is not addressed, there may be commotion in the central church because if a KJV Bible using pastor ask a RSV using member to open to Matthew 17:21,the member would search till eternity. Some of the verses expunged from the pages of NIV, NWT, RSV includes Matthew18:11,Mark7:16,Mark 9:44, John 5:4,acts 8:37, Romans16:24 etc.

Furthermore, the idea of having a central church looks almost impossible judging by the difference in the mode of worship of different Christian denominations. For example, if on a Sunday morning, different Christian denominations gather in the central church to praise and worship God and the service was conducted by a Christ apostolic pastor, if the pastor starts singing and clapping, Jehovah witnesses in the building would be like, WTF!!!, we are not going to clap. They wouldn't shout the way the pastor is shouting and the moment the pastor says Jesus is God, Jehovah witnesses and unitarian Christians in the building would be like, " Is this pastor is High on something?".

What would be done to the Mormons?? If a pastor from the church of latter day saints happen to be in charge of the service, the non Mormon members would be looking like zombie the moment he starts quoting from book of Moses or book of Nephi.
How about that awkward moment when a Celestial pastor is conducting the service and he orders everyone to pull of their shoes forbidding them to wear it in side the church...

If they want to worship God and they have English, Chinese, Yoruba, Hausa, Spanish, etc. speaking congregation, what language would they use in worship that's gonna make then United??

Having a central church MIGHT be possible, it's just going to be like "FUJI HOUSE OF COMMOTION"

Bashir Lucas Samson Lukman

Coming from a Muslim who will readily kill his fellow if he happens to be be Shia instead of Sunni? With your 100 schools of thought?

Rest.

Mindlog:
And you have not even seen on Nigeria's justice court tv shown on Youtube, were fathers who refused to provide for their children because they don't have custody of them were dragged to the court? Or have you ever spent some time in welfare offices to observe the back and forth?

Only a mad man would refuse to pay his kid's fees simply because he does not have custody. I am assuming he has his sense intact.

In any case, that does not negate the fact that taking care of his kids is still a constant - whether he likes it or not. So logically, what he should consider is whether moving on from this woman would improve the variable areas of his life.

Mindlog:
And when they get to court, he would tell the judge that the end of the marriage was because she picked up a job against his wish and the court should grant him custody of their children.....las, las e go become bachelor again and the court mandating him to be regularly paying their children' school fees and sending their monthly upkeep money to the ex-wife who will later have another uncle who would be visiting her at home, taking care of her needs.

Whether or not they are together will he not foot the fees and expenses of his kids? That is a constant and has no bearing on the suggestion made by the person you quoted.

How and where her needs are met will not be any concern of his either.

kingreign:
Yes, the church isn't a place for the righteous only but more for sinners. This is because Jesus Christ didn't come to save the righteous or already saved souls, but he died to save sinners and draw them back to righteousness.

Please, when you go to church, pray for forgiveness and repentance of your sins and do not go back to your sins.

Which sin? Someone that said he is married?

Appalling.

Are you not aware El Rufai worked with Obasanjo? Where you born after 2000?

You would have been in diapers by then.

Go and start your own cement factory then run it as you wish.

helinues:
Anticipating

I can see some reforms in our sport sector in Nigeria hence changing of Nigeria national league's name.

Saudi should chop nothing less than 4-0. Our last match with Sao Tome which I missed, I am still trying to remember when last Super Eagles scored ordinary 4 goals in a match not to talk of winning with 6 goals to nothing

It was in the last international window when they beat Sao Tome 10 - 0.

Always trying to paint women bad... this topic is about young love. Do we have to know that you were efing the mum.?

Thats not what he said...he didn't punctuate well but you can use your head na

HydraFeeds:
in this case , a good that used to worth 1000 naira will now worth 1 naira which is deflation but the person that used to receive 1000 naira salary will now receive 1 naira . They seem equivalent and the change is just living in a fool paradise but the reason it might lead to inflation is because people always look for any. Opportunity to inflate prices Louis some countries have tried it before but didn’t work .

1. No it won't be deflation because your 1 naira will be worth the same dollar amount of your previous 1000 naira.

2. It can't lead to inflation under the conditions I've described unless the seller wants to die of hunger. No one will buy their goods.

3. You don't need to look far for success stories, Ghana did it in the 2000s.

HydraFeeds:
like how ?

1. All bank deposits will be frozen and converted into lower sums

2. Currency will be redesigned and redenominated

Will cause temporary hardship but it can be done.

HydraFeeds:
If implemented,it will lead to hyperinflation .

Not that I support the idea but there are ways to manage such.

emorse:
But one can learn from meeting and interacting with others na.

Certainly - but doesn't look like he did. Rather he was simply amazed that he met someone from Taraba...as if that is supposed to be significant in and of itself.

FSU:
I met a Nigerian couple today. As soon as I engaged them I felt something was different with the wife. I asked where they were originally from in NG. The man replied with "Imo", and the wife with "Taraba". I almost screamed in shock. That was my first time ever of seeing or talking to anyone from Taraba.

The diversity of NG is truly amazing and worthy of appreciation. Only if the evil politicians and their equally evil hangers-on can be retired.

Which brings me to the question of the day. How many states of NG have you physically interacted with people from?

I have been to and interacted with people from all 17 southern states, and with people from Kogi, Kwara, Adamawa (just one person😀😀😀), Jigawa, Kano, Bornu, Niger, and Kaduna. I have been to Abuja but never interacted with a native, as also with people from the remaining 11 northern states. I'm just imagining how somebody from Zamfara thinks, talks, or look like.

God bless Nigeria minus the evil politicians and their brainwashed supporters.

What is amazing about the diversity? We are all just flesh and blood born and bred a little differently but with the same common aspirations and desires for a good life. There is nothing special about meeting someone from Taraba or any other place - I thought you would have argued that you learned something new.

jackmrandy:
funny are you guys are bashing a non resideent of lagos. I am telling you whats obtainable in other big metro cities where I am. igbos are there, hausas are there and likewise the so called yorubas who are claiming the lagos as their own. to make everything uniform, use the three language. I have been to big cities outside the shore of this country, its not just one language that is used.

So Edo, Nupe, Urhobo and others are not Nigerians too?

The rationale is obvious - anyone not of Yoruba origin in Lagos is likely to be reasonably literate and understanding of English but there will be many indigenous Yorubas who may not understand English.

Why turn this into unnecessary tribal colouration?

Heffalump:
This is like a case of telling other Nigerians to go and build their own.

I don't have a problem with speaking Yoruba to everybody, but you owe the passengers the right to translate in English as well. That's respect!

Where did you see that English wasn't used?

QuinModah:
=N=80,000 job in Sokoto is equivalent to =N=400k job in Abuja or Lagos when you take into consideration cost of living like accommodation, transport and feeding most especially in Lagos.

If you already have the job you can go otherwise 'hold the vulture when you get for hand before you begin find local fowl when you never see catch'.

Oga! This country hard now. Please 🙏 manage the one you see with your physical eyes.


Good morning!

With 400k on Abuja you will live well and save from 50k - 200k assuming one is single.

It's not nice to drop advice for the sake of talking

Feintline:
The atrocity, desecration, abomination and evil carried out in the land by these group of criminal entities cannot be rectified by tax cut.

Many do not yet understand the evil and consequences of the desecration of the land of Nigeria.
Nothing good can come out from this evil

There are consequences for these desecration. It is brutal and fatal.
Many have acquired generational curse for this abominable evil.

From the pept judges, to tinubu, his gang, the supporters of this evil act and every person involved in this abominable act .
Watch out for them , their families, and generations.

When you begin to see some crazy things happen to people, you trace them before you begin to blame God.

I'm still wondering how the PEPT take offend people complaining. Is it that once judgment does not go in your way it is an offence?

donleo92:
those it change anything?
people has seriously losing interest in the Nigerian leagues. I remember then we had Enyimba, Kano pillars. these teams were badass teams and most players representing the national teams were mostly selected from them. now everything is now foreign players, so how will the local league survive?

There has never been a time in the last 30 years when players representing the national team were mostly drawn from Enyimba and Kano Pillars. Never.

At best 2 to 3 local pkayers used to make the squad and usually just as goalkeepers.

Goalnaldo:
Statpadding against Sao Tome. It's giving Pessi vibes 😂😂

Is he the only one that played against Sao Tome?

HarryGleb:
Way to go. Since Abuja doesn't have any special status then they should have what other states have. Those injustices have set a bad precedent.

Something that is explicitly written into the Constitution?

Why do people enjoy all these sentimental wastes of time? These things are simple English. Abuja is not a State but should not be treated inferior or superior to States. End of matter. Is that complex?

Heavy fines await these ones and their lawyers.

robosky02:

He has already surpassed Martins at 24 and you are using Martins as a yardstick?

What kind of reasoning is this sir?

The part of Nigeria that is stricken by poverty and war. How much can their state governors do?? These are states with the lowest allocations. Come on! Where is your humanity??
