Why wont he take the state there? Politicians hae failed since 1999. Why not try a foreign trained successful technocrat?
I stand with Maduka! He will make it. If he goes withPDP he shall fail though

sassysure:
That's day dreaming. The Nigerian factor will not allow states to reach that level. Besides, that u are a good surgeon doesn't mean u can be a good administrator.

Most Nigerian politicians are very bad administrators that's why it's not working. Also, the pace with which the state is developing is very impressive cos people hardly wait for government for anything. Aside roads, most of the developments there are individualistic.
It's my state and I have toured around Nigeria to boldly say the state is doing well.

Soil his name? He will be good for the state. I fo sincerely want him to change that state to las vegad where he has his practise.

sassysure:
Why?
He should not soil himself with dirty Nigerian politics pls.

Me too...i like those people. However i think Dr. Godwin Maduka will be a better leader.

You were trying to link ancient israel and modern israel. But there is no link as modern israel only came into existence in 1948...

''It worth noting that there has never been legitimate transit trade between Nigeria and the two countries (Benin and Niger) For clarity, the ECOWAS protocol on transit demands that when a transit container berths at a seaport, the receiving country is mandated to escort same without tampering with the seal to the border of the destination country. Unfortunately, experience has shown that our neighbours do not comply with this protocol.

''Rather, they break the seals of containers at their ports and trans-load goods destined for Nigeria from the original container to trucks. In most cases five containers loaded onto one truck and duty paid as one truck. This improper trans-loading of transit goods makes
it impossible to properly examine such goods, resulting in importation of illicit goods, including arms and ammunition, without being detected. Because goods are not examined, mis-classification and resultant loss of revenue

I tire...wastefulness in Africa did not begin today. Such folks made the scarvengers from europe and middle east realise there was great wealth beyond their shores that must be plundered.

googi:
Mansa Kanka Musa was the richest man ever but he was another foolish African man that wasted African riches abroad just like his sister, the Queen of Sheba the richest woman ever.

Both exposed African riches to Vandals from Europe and Arab world.

You see how long Africans have been pludering get African resources.

It is a curse.

I dont think mali had much gold. As they got gold from the ghana kingdoms thru trading salt and other commdities for gold.
Note also that mali was a trading and commerce centre between the arab world and west africa.

When Mali had so much gold

I keep talking abour this great man ever. Talk of wealth...he was wealth personified. It is even saud that if you convert his wealth today..he would be worth 400 billion dollars.


Mansa Musa Of Mali May Have Been The Richest Person In History



Imagine how much money the richest person in history would have. Now add a couple hundred billion, and you’ve probably gotten closer to how much wealth Mansa Musa had circa 1324 C.E.

Economists have determined that the West African emperor’s vast wealth most likely positions him as the richest person in history. But just how much money did he have? And what did he do with it?


Mansa Musa’s Start To Becoming The Richest Person Ever
Emperor Mansa Musa I came to reign over the Malian Empire through somewhat strange means.

Before embarking on a long and somewhat arduous pilgrimage to Mecca (called a Hajj in the Muslim religion), then-emperor Abubakari II deputized Musa to temporarily assume his role. An “on-call” emperor was a common feature throughout the history of the empire. It’s somewhat comparable to the modern-day role of a vice president.


This arrangement worked out fine until Abubakari set out to explore the far side of the Atlantic Ocean and never returned. Mansa Musa, then, inherited the throne since he had been deputized. But Musa wasn’t a nobody: His great-uncle was Sundiata Keita, who founded the Malian Empire.

As many a late-night infomercial will tell you, there are lots of ways to attain wealth. Musa got his primarily through trading gold and salt, which were found in abundance in West Africa at the time. He also used the money to strengthen the country’s cultural centers, particularly Timbuktu, which he annexed in 1324.

It was when Musa made his Hajj to Mecca — an important part of the Muslim religion, which was very widespread in the region at this point in history — that the rest of the world became aware of the extent of his wealth.

Because he had so much to spend, his caravan throughout Cairo, Medina, and finally to Mecca had a procession of more than 60,000, dozens of animals, and plenty of gold. In fact, as they traveled, Musa and his entourage gave gold away to people in the streets.

They also bought lots of stuff — so much stuff, in fact, that they actually messed up the global economy for a while: The gold he spent circulated, and there was so much of it, that the value actually went down.


The disruption eventually evened out, in part because Mansa Musa began borrowing from lenders in Cairo (despite the high interest rate) and essentially single-handedly controlled the price of gold in the Mediterranean.

The Lasting Contributions Of Mansa Musa’s Wealth
So what did Mansa Musa do with all the money, aside from giving away bricks to random people in the street and using it to buy souvenirs?

He actually ended up using most of it to build a great number of mosques (legend says he built one every Friday of his reign), the most famous of which is the Djinguereber Mosque. He also commissioned many universities throughout the kingdom — many of which, along with the mosques, are still standing today, some 700 years later.

Musa quite literally put himself, and his empire, on the map when he made this journey — maps from Italian cartographers during his reign had artists add his likeness, holding a nugget of gold of course. He extended the reach of his trade ports and became one of the most powerful rulers of his time — if not in all of history.


Musa ruled for about 25 years according to historian’s best estimates: they believe he died in 1332, at which time his son inherited the throne.

Comprehending The Vast Wealth Of The Richest Person In History
In the spirit of other extremely wealthy people who ultimately become philanthropists, you might wonder how Mansa Musa stacks up against some contemporary billionaires, like Bill Gates, John D. Rockefeller, or Warren Buffett.

When adjusted for inflation, Mansa Musa’s wealth is believed to have been around $400 billion. The only person who comes close to Musa’s wealth is John D. Rockefeller, whom economists believe amassed a worth of around $336 billion.

Of course, Rockefeller wasn’t just in the oil business, he virtually was the oil business. As for Bill Gates, he comes in at several hundred billion below Musa at $136 billion. That’s still a lot of money, but will anything Gates made still be around in 700 years?

In the end, historians and economists find Mansa Musa’s legacy rich not because of how much money he had, but how he used it.

You dont need to sleep witj anyone to get pregnant. Why not go to a fertility bank and get your eggs fertilised?


A Nigerian woman identified as Linda, has landed in trouble in Lagos after she passionately pleaded with her husband, Okey, to allow her to sleep with his friend in order to get pregnant after over 8 years of marriage without a child.

E to reports, the incident happened at Agodo Egbe,[/quote]

See eh. Tell her u will tell ur wife about what happened if she continues her blackmail. If she does not stop u tell ur wife.

spymasters0984:
Good morning all,

I had to register this account because I need advice from matured minds. I got married to my wife three years ago and she has a younger Sister who was two years younger. They both look alike, same body build, voice and face. I actually thought they were twins when I first saw them together. She do come to our house for weekends or the holiday as she and my wife were so close. She knows where we keep our house keys. We are yet to have kids and sometimes I appreciate her presence as she keeps my wife company.

Last month, I went to watch a late premiership match at a bar not far from the house and I took some few drinks like I always do with the guys. I wasn't drunk, just a bit light headed. I drove home immediately after the match around 8pm and opened the door with my key. PHCN took the light as soon as I entered and Everywhere was dark. I heard the shower running and thought my wife was in the bathroom. Normally, I and my wife love spontaneous sex as it spice up our relationship. So I decide to get naughty and have sex. So, I stripped and opened the bathroom and said, Honey, let's have a quickie". Without waiting for reply, I pushed her to the wall and penetrated from behind.

One thing, I first noticed was that my thing went inside so smoothly without any resistance. My wife was a virgin when we met and even till now, she still complain of me being big for her. I thought it was the shower water that made it so frictionless so I kept thrusting. The next thing ,I heard was "Uncle Dele(not my real name), please harder, yes, hit me well, I love your dick inside me". That was when I realized it wasn't my wife. Immediately, my eyes cleared and I pulled out. I started apologizing to her that I thought it was her Sister, my wife. I quickly dashed out of the bathroom, ran to the room, put my clothes, grabbed my phone and put on the phone torch. She had also left for the other room so I went to knock and started apologizing again. She had put on her clothes also. She said I ought not to apologize as I clearly thought she was my wife and it was a case of mistaken identity. We were still talking when we heard the door being opened and I dashed to my room.

We acted like normal when her sister came in and didn't say a word to each other. Though, I felt so guilty as I had never cheated on my wife since we got married. Even my wife was surprised her sister was around as she didn't tell her she was coming. What happened was my wife went to the superstore to get some things, that was why she wasn't at home as I left her at home when I was going to watch match. My in-law left the following day.

I met with my sister-in-law three days later and I apologize again and we both agreed to keep it as a secret between us as it would hurt my wife so much. She has had two miscarriages since we got married. Her sister also agreed to keep quite, but she made a statement that made me nervous. She said "Uncle Dele, you are so big o. Is that what my sister has been enjoying". I was a bit angry, but I didn't want to make an issue out of it so I smiled and let it pass.

Fast forward to last week, She called me that she needed 50k to get something and if I can help her. In the past, I do give her money but always through my wife. 5k, 10k or thereabout but nothing like the 50k she's asking for now. So I informed my wife of the request and she was angry on why she should be demanding for such amount and called her to tell her what she feels. Only for her to call me and sounding angry on why I had to tell my wife she's asking money from me. I calmly told her that my wife knows about all my finances and it is not new that I am informing my wife of such request. However in order for peace to reign, I convinced my wife and we sent 20k to her, which she never called back to say thank you.

Yesterday, she called me again asking for 30k to do something, which she didn't say what it was. I was at work so I told her, I will call her back later. I never had the chance to call her until she called me later in the evening sounding so angry that I didn't call her back and she needed the money unfailingly before Saturday. I politely told her, I don't have any money and will have to inform my wife about it, which she told me not to tell her. Actually, I am in a fix as one thing I hate is someone blackmailing me, though she hasn't said she will tell my wife about what transpired between us. Her tone and attitude towards me is suggesting she's trying to take advantage of me.

I don't know if I should confess to my wife as I don't want to be someone maga. However, I don't want my wife to go through any stress as we just discovered she's pregnant again and don't want any issue again. Please , I need advice as I don't want to give her any money by weekend. Thanks

Naija guys i haol o! This has on all over the internet and news chanels...


Hope Olusegun Aroke is serving a 24-year prison sentence
A convicted internet fraudster has been placed under investigation in Nigeria for allegedly masterminding a "mega scam" from a maximum-security prison worth at least $1m (£773,000).

Anti-corruption officials said Hope Olusegun Aroke used a "network of accomplices" for the fraud.

He was arrested in 2012 and has been serving a 24-year sentence at the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison.

But a preliminary investigation found he still had access to the internet.

In a statement on Tuesday, Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said it had received intelligence about Aroke's scam and was faced with the "riddle" of how he was able to "continue to ply his ignoble trade" from inside the Lagos prison.


Following his arrest in 2012, the EFCC said the then Malaysia-based student was the "arrow head of an intricate web of internet fraud schemes that traverse two continents".

The EFCC this week said its preliminary investigation had revealed that, "against standard practice", Aroke had been given access to the internet and his phone. He had also been admitted to the Nigeria Police Hospital in Lagos for an "undisclosed ailment" and had been able to leave the facility to stay in hotels, meet with his wife and children, and attend social functions.

He had used the fictitious name Akinwunmi Sorinmade to open two bank accounts and bought a luxury car and homes during his time in prison, the EFCC added. He had also been "in possession of his wife's bank account token in prison, which he used to freely transfer funds."


Media captionOnline scamming: 'If it doesn't look right, don't trust it'
Anti-corruption officials are investigating why he was admitted to hospital and how he was able to travel to hotels and other places.

The Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison is managed by the Nigerian Correctional Service, which has not yet commented on the case.

Case prompts suspicion over corrupt officials
By Nduka Orjinmo, BBC News, Lagos

This is a case that has shocked many Nigerians: how a convict serving time at the country's foremost maximum security prison was allegedly able to operate freely.

Many believe that Aroke could have pulled off his alleged exploits only with the help of corrupt prison officials.

Illicit proceeds make internet fraudsters in Nigeria wealthy and they could easily bribe vulnerable prison officials who are poorly paid.

So far, no-one has been suspended even though it is a major breach of security.

The anti-corruption agency, which put Aroke behind bars, has called it a "riddle" and has promised a thorough investigation.

It is not clear if the agency has managed to change his prison guards, as it is outside its jurisdiction.

And the other question many Nigerians are asking is: Of the many wealthy prisoners - politicians and internet fraudsters - in jail, who else has "bribed" his way out, enjoying a lifestyle fit for royalty?

To me the devil is in the detail. The minimum hourly rate!

Players in Australia’s W-League will have their annual minimum remuneration hiked 33 percent to A$16,344 ($11,400), with their base hourly rate matching the men’s A-League, Football Federation Australia and the players union said on Friday.[/color]

[color=#990000]
You see? It does not mean they inevitably earn same salary.


The deal will reduce the gender pay gap in Australian football but male players stand to earn significantly more due to their greater time on the pitch.[/color]

The W-League’s regular season ran for 14 weeks in 2018/19, just over half the length of the A-League’s 27 rounds.[color=#990000]



So therefore due to limited weeks of activity the women will still earn less than men. Moreovet, the parity is at the basic or entry level not at the upper echelon of men's game.

Plead:


What kind of fvckery is this?

Does female matches generate the same viewership/sponsorship and revenue just as male matches to make both genders earn equal pay? This is absolute bulllshît

My broda leave those people. For more tjan 20years now i ve always know international at the oscar means any language bar english. I was shocked when i even saw lionheart under thst category....

bigtt76:
Funny how people don't understand that when the word 'International' is used, its meant to mean anything other than the language of the domiciled country of an organization or anything presenting same.

The movie academy is a US-based body which hitherto had been awarding movies produced in the US (Hollywood), it was only to broaden its scope it decided to include movies produced elsewhere (International) by setting up a category called 'Best Foreign Movie which it changed to International.

The rules still remained the same, movie must not be predominantly written in English language which if done, would be akin to creating a category to directly compete with Hollywood movies which is not what the case is meant to be.

Goodday nairaland famille. This is just my personal thought on this issue that has been bedeviling us as a nation. So if anyone has a different opinion try to convince me with your force of argument rather than argument of force/insults as i am open to changing my mind if there is a superior argument to mine....

Here are my personal thoughts on this issue i want solved once and forall.

What i have noticed is that alot of people misunderstand this minimum wage thing. At 1st i thought the govnors were insensitive. But after reading between the lines i came to understand that the problem was not the 30.000 naira minimum wage perse but the socalled 'incremental adjustments'!
I believe this entails that not only those earning the minimum wage will have a salary increment but everyone working for government will see a percentage increment in their salaries. Say for example a director in a state ministry on 300.000 a month shall see an increment of 50 to 70% of their salary which shall be a big burden on the state. Americans are now talking of increasing their minimum wage to $15 an hour. This does not mean that anyone working for government...state or federal on a 35 usd an hour salary shall see a raise in their salary. Just those on the minimum wage. I guess same applies in the UK and elsewhere around the world.

So therefore my people...methinks its the workers earning above the minimum wage and asking for a percentage increment in their salaries who are the greedy ones. Every govnor will gladly pay N50.000 a month as minimum wage if there were to be no such incremental adjustments on the salaries of those earning above the minimum wage bracket.

I for one find it scandalous that a level 20 something earning 200-300.000 naira a month will also want a salary increase when some on 18.000 naira a month is being given a raise!
Merci les gars....
