Kwanza: The Hotel where the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike is lodging while on official assignment in Benin, Edo State has been held siege by over 300 Police men.
Recall that Governor Wike was appointed Chairman of the PDP National Campaign Council for the Edo Governorship election; this is same position Governor Ganduje of Kano State occupies for his party the APC.
Governor Ganduje and Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State are all in Benin, Edo State carrying out their assignment for the APC without any molestation or intimidation.
And in a breach of the pledge they made security agencies have decided to harass and intimidate Governor Wike who has not done any wrong.
Rivers People Warn that we Shall hold the IGP responsible for anything that happens to our Governor.
Less than 24 hours to Edo state governorship election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday cried out that its governors are being held hostage by police in the state.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja, the National Chairman of the Party, Prince Uche Secondus, who raised the alarm said that police have surrounded the Westend Hotel occupied by the PDP governors.
Secondus called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, to order his men to vacate the hotel immediately.
He added that the governors lives are in danger, noting that the APC governors, who are also in Benin are not harassed.
Secondus alleged that Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma and the Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege are presently in the home of former governor of Edo state, Adams Oshiomhole.
He said: “The Policemen have surrounded the hotel and their lives are in danger. We call on IGP to ask the police to leave the place because their lives are in danger.
“If APC governors are in Benin, the PDP governors should be in Benin. Our governors would remain in Benin, no one can intimidate us.
“We are bringing this to the attention of the international community. Elections must be free and fair. Elections must be allowed to hold. You cannot allow APC governors in Edo and bar PDP governors.”
I wish to register my company's name but I was informed that I need an agent to make this make. Can I get a legit agent on the platform to get this done for me?
Thank you.
There's detailed information on how to go about this on several websites/blogs as well as the CAC website. This is the cheapest method if you follow all instructions properly. You can also get a lawyer or 'agent' and pay for their services.

tensazangetsu20: To do na 8 lines na. Take the input value give it a constant and then assign it to a new document which you can use document.createelement to create then insert it anywhere on the document then add an event listener of some sort on the submit button to get the input value. I don see the thing on many web developer portfolio.
It depends on you though. I saw a tutorial on YouTube where the guy added other functionalities to the code so you can remove items, edit items. Stuff like that.
tensazangetsu20: I don't think those 20k gang know how to even declare variables in JavaScript. I met a computer science graduate from a university in the south east. He also builds websites WordPress websites and claims to know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, bootstrap and PHP. I asked him to tell me how they declare variables in PHP and he said that the question was too big for him. Even here on nairaland when they post that crap try interrogating their knowledge. They don't even know the basics. Wasn't it on this section someone was asking for help with editing a HTML template and be was advertising 20k websites on his signature.
VBCampaign: Oyedepo’s Statement, Daddy Freeze’s Errors and Ibiyeomie’s Threat
By: Deji Yesufu
David Ibiyeomie, a Pentecostal pastor in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, is the man in the eye of the storm. Ibiyeomie, in a two minute video, publicized by Sahara TV, is seen pouring venom on Daddy Freeze, an On-Air-Personality, who in recent years has gained reputation for criticizing Pastors. Ibiyeomie is quoted by Punch online as saying:
“I will never be alive and see anyone insult my father, you are not born, I will kill you, I will tear you into pieces. Insult me, I wouldn’t talk but insulting Oyedepo, I can’t be alive and you insult my father. The day Freeze insults Oyedepo, I will deal with him and arrest him. Who gave birth to you? Do you have a father? Show us his picture…”
It is obvious that Sahara TV intentionally quoted the pastor to drive home a simple point: a minister of the gospel should not be speaking like this; and they have succeeded in getting negative press to the pastor – if one were to consider the backlash that has been coming to the revered gentleman on social media since the video was published. While Ibiyeomie can come out to say that he was quoted out of context, the fact still remains that there is no context where a pastor should be found calling another man “a bastard” or condemning journalism; or exhibiting racial discrimination by calling some people “half caste”. He even went further to belittle the people of Somalia; as if they were not human beings. Ibiyeomie goofed badly and I would be returning to him before concluding this essay.
It was only when Daddy Freeze offered a response to David Ibiyeomie that the whole drama begin to take up some meaning and thus we begun to understand the context that Sahara TV denied everyone watching the video they published. A few days ago, David Oyedepo had published a tweet on his verified twitter handle that read:
“The only way to a fruitful marriage is total submission on the part of the wife. Until it is in place, every other thing she tries to do will be out of place. A woman who refuses to submit to her husband is disobeying God. As a woman, you might even be a minister of the gospel, and your husband is not; the Word of God still says to submit yourself to him. A submissive woman is precious in the sight of her husband – Ephesians 5:22.”
In short, the overall bishop of Otta was saying that if a marriage was to be fruitful, a woman must totally submit to her husband. Oyedepo referenced Ephesians 5:22 that reads: “…Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord…” Freeze said that while Oyedepo was right in his admonition to women to submit to their husband, this injunction is given without consideration to the whole picture that Ephesians 5 was teaching on the subject of submission. Freeze said, and he is right, that there was a verse 21 before you could read verse 22. Verse 21 of that passage reads: “… submitting to one another out of reverence to Christ…” He then made the point that it is after couples have learnt to submit to each other, that a man can now begin to demand submission from his wife. Freeze said that the clamor by church people for wives to submit to their husbands, without regard to the responsibility of men in their homes, as demanded by Ephesians 5, has produced many a home where men have become tyrants in their houses. Freeze was saying in essence: no man can demand for a woman to submit to him who is not living uprightly before God. Freeze is right but at the same time Freeze is wrong, and I want to spend sometimes to shed some light on his errors.
First, Daddy Freeze would need to appreciate the fact that David Oyedepo was right in his statement: a Christian woman that would allow for Christ to reign in her home and enjoy his blessing must be totally submitted to her husband. This is the teaching of the scripture. Oyedepo, in spite of his heresies on the Prosperity Gospel, knows these truths because he has some orthodoxy in him that can be traced back to some old school Christianity that our nation had once known. There is however a generation today that are trying to redefine the place of women in the home and Daddy Freeze is one of their teachers. It is true that verse 21 comes before verse 22. But any careful Bible teacher will realize that the context of verse 15 to 21 of Ephesians 5 is totally different from verse 22 to 33. Modern Bibles even help readers to realize this division. The whole of Ephesians is a letter to a group of Christians in Ephesus. Therefore, rather than Paul writing to just one person, he is writing to a collective; he is writing to the church in Ephesus. In verse 15 to 21, Paul is admoniting Christians on how they ought to relate to each other. It is in this context he then ends his admonition with “submitting one to another”. Verse 22 is the beginning of an admonition to married persons in the church. And it is here we see the woman is to submit to her husband. It is also instructive that it is the woman that he admonished first; as if to say the success of your home is dependent on your submission to your husband.
Now Freeze explains that Oyedepo overlooked the context before 22. Incidentally, Freeze does the same thing. He overlooks the context after verse 22, which states unequivocally: “…so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands” (verse 24). The command to the wife is to submit in EVERYTHING. I believe everything is the same as “total” and Oyedepo is right in saying that the Christian woman should submit to her husband in totality.
Daddy Freeze also brings up the issue of women not submitting to men because the men are adulterous, not providing for their homes and rebellious. Freeze however overlooks a certain assumption in the writer’s mind: which is that the couples he was writing to were not unbelievers but Christian men and women. This presupposes the fact that when women will choose the men they wish to marry, they ought not to make choices in the flesh. They should not marry a man because he has a job, or a car, or he is wealthy. Christian women should marry Christian men, if they are going to have peace in their homes. A man who is committing adultery is not a Christian and most of the people who manifest these traits in marriage have been doing it long before they were married. Our sisters should first ascertain the fact that they themselves are believers and they must possess discernment to marry Christian men. In cases where the mistake has been made, the woman must bear her cross; while she trusts God in prayers.
Freeze brought up a last point. He said that there was one lady on Instagram who had a large following and was very wealthy. He said when this woman’s husband realized she had potential to make money, he resigned his job and became her camera man. The two of them are today enjoying the benefit of the woman’s success and wealth. Freeze said that most Nigerian men cannot do this; that they will be standing on “submit to me” and miss such opportunities.
My response to Freeze is simply this: the Bible commands Christians to obey it and to leave consequences to God. Financial prosperity is not proof that God is in something; if not, the very errors that we are condemning in David Oyedepo, where he gives the impressions that gain is godliness, is the very error Freeze is propagating too. God commands women to submit to their husbands. God commands men to love their wives. Every one of us will face God at judgement as regarding how well we kept his commandments. Women were not asked to submit to their husbands only when the husband loves them; neither are men asked to love their wives only when they submit to them. Everyone is expected to obey God and everyone will reap the fruit of their obedience in this life and in the life to come. The chief error I locate both in Daddy Freeze and even David Oyedepo is the tendency to just call down scriptures and their commandments on people, without paying attention to whether or not the people you are speaking to are Christians. Ephesians 5 was written to Christians. If the people reading it or preaching from it are not converted people, they will wrest the scripture for their own selfish ends.
Having made the point about Daddy Freeze’s errors, it is important we examine David Ibiyeomie’s words one more time. The man has received sufficient condemnation from Nigerians and I would not want to add to his woes. Suffice to say this: less than two years ago, a freelance journalist in Ibadan, Kemi Olunloyo, published some damaging stories on Ibiyeomie. Those stories concerned something around some alleged illicit relationships he had with some female Nigerian actress. Olunloyo had been given the story by an insider in Ibiyeomie church and she foolishly published them. One day, policemen stormed Ibadan all the way from Portharcourt and arrested Madam Kemi. She was driven all night to Rivers’ State; where she was slammed in detention. She would eventually endure an almost year long legal battle with her accusers. By the time she emerged from that ordeal, she had been thoroughly dealt with. The judge acquitted her but made it clear that she was not to talk about the matter to the press. This is the threat that Ibiyeomie issued to Daddy Freeze and ladies and gentlemen, this man has the financial powers to carry it out. Some Nigerian policemen are so compromised that chicken change can be thrown at them and they will gleefully persecute anyone that their sponsors send them to.
The other veiled threat was the threat to the life of Daddy Freeze. While Ibiyeomie’s words can be regarded as grandiloquent and bombastic grandstanding, they should not also be overlooked. Words take up a life of their own and a threat can very easily be carried out. I hope that beyond crying out on social media, Daddy Freeze will report this matter to law enforcement and the police will invite the pastor for talks.
CindyBotuonye: I always see people castigating when others choose to do things differently. For me, I’ll hire dropouts too. I’m not saying that will be the only basis for employment but all I’m saying is, I’m gonna give them a chance too. I know how it feels like to not be able to complete your education for one reason or another. Btw, I think employment should be based on individual capabilities and not just something a piece of paper says. That means, I’ll conduct psychometric tests on every candidate to determine their unique traits and abilities instead of letting some piece of paper tell me who to hire and who to not. For the guy saying stuff about not understanding education, he clearly doesn’t understand human resource management or anything about running a successful company. A simple research or him becoming a CEO himself will enlighten him.
If you've seen/encountered the decay amongst youths and teenagers today, you'll do everything to discourage people from dropping out out of school. But don't get me wrong, I'm not invalidating you or the op's point, I regularly have this bad habit of forcing people to view things from other angles.
Accardo419: Not really, I know you are joking. But not everybody can dropout of school. Some poor youths that are bright in business may not be oppurtuned to finish school. So does it mean they should not be hired again? They can finish school from my company.
Bros, why you add 419 to your moniker na? I been wan drop CV before oh
Accardo419: Not really, I know you are joking. But not everybody can dropout of school. Some poor youths that are bright in business may not be oppurtuned to finish school. So does it mean they should not be hired again? They can finish school from my company.
And what's the difference between dropouts and graduates in Nigeria? Many people consciously dropout today to setup businesses. My point is your view on issues is a little flawed. You make it seem like people who may lack the right competencies should be employed while others who worked hard to develop themselves should be overlooked. Go to many establishments and you'll see how this manifests in several forms.
I have no problem giving equal opportunity to everyone if it is genuine. Many graduates we have today are graduates simply because of how they bribed/manipulated their way through. Also many dropouts are dropouts not because of a lack of opportunity, but because of a poor attitude towards learning.
10mobile: Thank you for your observation. I know that already. But see how my point still stands. If you know a little of comparative statistics, you will know how data sets relate with each other. In this case, if the 'city' of Lagos and the 'city' of Kano (which have no definite boundaries) are compared, the margin is so wide. Then, do you really think that the highly sparse rural populations of Kano could make up the figure for Kano State to get such a wide comparative advantage? Certainly no.
Statistics are never taken in isolation if they are geared for real-life information (which is their actual role). So, you can see the figures with this in mind.
In line with your statistics, the rural parts of Lagos also has a higher population that the "city". But that aside, I can't say much about the population of kano never been there, can only make assertions based on external information I get.
10mobile: I am from the Southern Nigeria. But I must tell you that I am very ashamed of the intergenerational political naivete of the Southern Nigerian people relative to their Northern counterparts. The bigger problem is that the South can never learn from their past because they think that they are wiser than the North when everything proves this belief wrong.
Attached to this post is a screenshot of a document from the World Population Review (WPR) detailing the 2020 population figures of Nigeria. The document shows that Lagos has a population of 9 million people while Kano has about one third of that figure. However, according to figures fed to Open Data for Africa (ODA) by the Nigerian Population Commission and the Nigerian Bureau of statistics, Kano numbered over 13 million while Lagos came second with about 12.5 million people during the 2006 census.
But, comparing the figures from WPR and ODA as cited here, isn't it clear that the 2006 population figures have been inflated to favor the North unfairly? The North does this because they have since realized how the distribution of resources in the country depends on population figures, yet the educated naive Southerners have never cared to know this all these years. The North has deceived the South mainly by making them think that landmass and population mean the same thing.
EVEN WORSE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN THE CRUDE OIL SECTOR The Bible says that "my people perish for the lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). I see this being practically and largely true of Southern Nigerians. So, I urge you, if you want to understand the underhand dealings that have taken place in the Nigerian crude oil sector for the past 60 years, I would recommend that you follow the story 'THE OIL IN OUR SOIL' (see a review here on the Africa Scope Series literature section).
Until you accept that you don't know, you will continue to be a wise fool. The North has not only deceived the South via the so-called Federal Character politics as revealed above, but all the Southerners also watch daily as almost all the oil wells in the South are owned by the North and yet no one cares to find out how it has happened. It is not just about winning the civil war but there are more remote causes.
THE NUMBER 1 PROBLEM WITH SOUTHERN NIGERIANS The number 1 problem with Southern Nigerians is arrogance which leads to ignorance. The average Southern Nigerian believes he/she knows a lot when he/she actually knows very little relative to his/her Northern counterpart. This major error has continued for years until now. And the scripture is ever true: "He who exalts himself shall be humbled" (Matthew 23:12).

While you may have a genuine point with most of the issues you raised, the data you are presenting to us is very wrong as it lists out the population of "cities" and not states.
Both Lagos and Kano states should both be over the 20million mark as we speak. I really doubt that a place like badagry is recognized as a part of the "city of lagos". But like I said earlier, I'm not trying to water down other issues that you have raised.

Do you have an idea what the requirements are to start a Coca-cola mini depot business?
I'm not sure but I know it involves a lot of money and a minimum monthly target. You should send them a mail or contact any major distributor around you.
What's their closest office/depot to your location?
DEBUCHMANNY: I'm in my mid 30s, single and with three degrees. I'm finding life hard for over four years now, she hard to seek comfort in another man's arm when I became so broke. I've been hustling but its not been paying.
An old time acquaintance heard of my predicament, he stays in China, I'm based in Crossriver but an Igbo by tribe. He gave me a suggestion of his willingness to invest N15m into my hustle on the condition that we draft a partnership agreement. I will be the one to run the business 100℅.
I have doubt in ability of Nigerians to stick to agreement. I have the conviction that his money will yield profit, but he's proposing that we set up the business in southeast. That will be more challenging to me because I've got to relocate. I've been living here for the past 10years.
Please if you're (or have been) in a partnership business please advice me. I'm tired of suffering. Most of my mates are settled but I don't want rush into this.
Thank you in advance.
Who will have the controlling shares? I already suspect your partner considering what he brings to the table. You should look for a way to contribute more value so you can negotiate for controlling stakes.
Location shouldn't be your biggest concern. In fact, you should use the opportunity to make your product/service available to more people in both locations.
