@ OP,

the point for me is The president solicited and got by his own admission or does he talk before he thinks? no politician is a saint but our pressy is in a class of his own - a power drunk megalomaniac

Yes he has his life to live but he's a public figure who's in a very sensitive public position. He's expected to live above board. The question is - is the woman is wife? if not, any wonder he always has a baggage of women around him? Celine Loader, for example was Chief marketing Officer in First Bank when Sanusi was MD. Today she is Marketing Consultant to CBN. Wonder what they are marketing in CBN.

Fantastic PR for the POTUS. Any wonder his rating keeps going up!

More is the rescue effort was bungled and victims died.

@ OP,

Is that rocket science or requires extra effort? Sure some of the kidnappers will be killed, others will be arrested. Simple deductions

Gutter journalism! Pointblank to the pit!

Are you literate and read the story? Pointblanknews dared her, so why dont we wait and see how it pans out than start castigating the thoroughbred professional that published the story. I pray she'll be able to stand the heat when the going gets tough. She'll be so dragged in the mud she'll regret going to court. Nonsense.

I'll be happy if he can just STFU and work. No bank has opened in Ogun State in over 2 weeks. In Ijebu Igbo, all the banks have closed shop for over a year. I'm not interested in his "Im this and that"

Whether we like it or not, roadblocks will be back as part of security measures. He should rise to the occasion and give us some policing. His everyday story dey give me cramps.

Are the promoters trying to encourage drug abuse in Nigeria? I wish the show flops

COPIED from FB and shared here:
An excerpt In response to Sanusi Lamido: Poverty in the North and Boko Haram: Borno State has a budget twice that of Enugu State but the poverty and unemployment level in Borno State is more than thrice that of Enugu State. Borno has a bigger budget than a Niger Delta state – Cross River. While the leaders of Cross River over the last decade have transformed it into the nation’s leading tourist destination; those of Borno have transformed it into a Somalia.

Kano State gets the highest statutory allocation from the Federal Government, because on paper Kano is the most populated state in Nigeria, yet Kano has about 1.6 million destitute Almajiris. Kano has a budget almost thrice the budget of Enugu, twice the budget of Kwara, Anambra and Ekiti, but how come almost 90 per cent of students in Kano fail WAEC? How come the poverty level in Kano is higher than all these states put together? Why is the North so poor? From the figures above I have shown that Southern states with lesser budgets have shown better development performance than most North Eastern states with bigger statutory allocation and budgets.

I want to posit that the North-East through their aristocrats and ex-military rulers (except Gen. Mohammed Buhari) rake in more oil money (from the Niger Delta) individually than any Niger Delta state, and collectively more than twice the entire Niger Delta put together. In this disquisition, I have attempted to show that 80 per cent of crude oil and gas produced by indigenous companies is controlled by the North-East. It is an area they have well conquered through Generals IBB, Abacha and Abdulsalami. However, the loots never get back home.

Let us therefore begin: To the state of origin of Boko Haram: Borno State. Enter Cavendish Petroleum, the operators of OML 110 – with good yielding OBE field. This oil block was awarded to Alhaji Mai Deribe – the Borno patriarch, who even in death will remain the richest man dead or alive in the history of Borno State – by General Sani Abacha on July 8, 1996. OML 110 has a proven oil reserve in excess of 500 million barrels (more than the entire 300million barrels reserve of Sudan). As yet with the capacity to produce about 120,000 barrels of crude oil daily from its OBE 4 and OBE 5 wells. At optimal production levels, Cavendish nets circa N4billion monthly in crude oil sales (using current oil price of $100pb). Cavendish Petroleum’s N4bn monthly net dwarfs the monthly statutory allocation of Borno which is about N3bn and its internally generated revenue staggers around N1billion.

His mansion in Maiduguri has become a tourist attraction. A simple Google search will throw up different perspectives of Mai Deribe’s palatial home.

Enter Oriental Energy Resources Limited, a company owned by Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, a Fulani and close friend of General Ibrahim Babangida. Also worthy of note is that General IBB’s first son is married to Alhaji Mohammed Indimi’s daughter – Yakolo Indimi-Babangida, who also serves as a director in the company. Alhaji Indimi hails from Borno State.

Araba also has an outlet around new Garage/Baale area, Apelehin, Bariga

Nchara:
Men!! Se as this man from Ogun state take drop the Governor's name. This is innovative sycophancy.

Na wah for my owambe brothers oh!!!!

@Werepeleri
What's the importance of the conference on Somalia to Nigeria that the President could not send a representative? Of what economic/political potential relevance is Somalia to Nigeria pls?

@OP,

Undertaking is just a confirmation of willingness to pay and cannot be enforced if you are unable to pay. Get the IPO on your side and turn the table against the fraudsters. Two can play the game .

Most artisans are like.

The President said[b] SURE was hurriedly conceptualised in January on the heels of the nationwide protest against the removal of the fuel subsidy[/b][color=#990000][/color]


There was no plan in place and they HURRIEDLY conceptualised 'subsidy removal'.

Irrelevant mama don broke I laff in NADECO ooooo

Now its about the school, abi? Jarus, I've watched this woman's overbearing personality and I make bold to say even her husband the gov have little control over her activities. She is not able to distinguish her person as the gov's wife with her role as a woman activist, interchanging personae as suits the purpose, almost making the deputy gov redundant.

She needs to cool down or moderate her media presence.

Jarus:
Needless and sounds vindictive.

Amosun should face his job and stop hunting(or appearing to hunt) his predecessor.

Nothing vindictive here. the church was not demolished only the gate was pulled down for other residents to access their residences more easily. OGD used his executive position then to cordoned off the access road, restricting entry to his neighbours who are now forced to go through a longer route to their residences.

Plus the fact that a judicial panel, for which OGD out of disrespect did not appear or sent a rep, recommended the demolition of the church and the reversal of the land to its owners.

kingsots:
If you dont know how a system works why not shut ur mouth. The state and local govt have a joint account. It was merged together during the OBJ regime and has reamined like that. That is how most govs and their comm. for finance eat up the local govt allocation, the local govt is just given what it can use to take care of the workers salary.

So many ex-govs are on trial today because of the banana peep called state/local govt joint account. States must make available to the LGs their share of  revenue accruing from the federation account and not  help them spend it. So your goc has stepped on the infamous  banana peel, when EFCC drags him to court, do start crying oooo.

Dem wan start again, the hood makes the monk, new uniform na the police   .

The man should just shut and roll his sleeves to work. How will the police work without equipment or does he think anyone will attempt to defuse those IEDs without proper equipment, or that the officers are not now more afraid of the better armed criminals and Boko Haram?

Even if he wants to chop, there are more creative and productive ways than changing uniforms. Only in Naija, uniform changes with every new IG. Rubbish

BlackPikiN:
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has directed that the salaries of the Commissioner for Finance, John Okafor, and the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Uchenna Eche, be suspended for allegedly delaying the payment of salaries of some local government workers and teachers.
http://dailytimes.com.ng/article/okorocha-suspends-commissioner%E2%80%99s-salary#.Tzw-m74h8vs.facebook

Is this man for real? Does the state now control local govt funds? has he not indicted himself of witholding LG funds?  LGs pay their staff from the LG account.  This guy loves to make shakara.

I dey laff at people wey take this man serious.

Demdem:
Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun State Governor Orders Former Governor Gbenga Daniel To Exhume Father’s Corpse
Reports however say that the Abraham Tabernacle, where the former governor’s father was buried was illegally acquired by the former governor, as the area is part of the undeveloped portion of the Judges Quarters in the city. It was also alleged that the former governor deliberately buried his father there on the belief that the land would be conceded to him. A source at the governor’s office, who pled anonymity, told Saturday Mirror that during the burial of the elder Daniel, Amosun used that occasion to access the vast compound which could not have been possible but for his presence at the burial service.

While we are yet to determine the ultimate mission of the latest invasion of the Abraham’s Tabernacle by agents of the Ogun State Government, we sincerely hope that it is not to begin a round of blackmail and propaganda against the House of God.
Reacting to the invasion and cancellation of the Certificate of Occupancy, Reverend Kolade advised the worshippers in the Church and other members of the Christian fold to remain calm.
http://www.alashock.com/2012/02/senator-ibikunle-amosun-ogun-state.html

On point-The land was acquired illegally, with Daniel at that time using his position as governor. Lesson- power is transient.

Has Dani-elebo repented enough to build a church? Can't blame 'come and chop' Rev. Kolade though, dining with the devil to pastor a church.  .  God save us!!!

Needless emotional fraud

Lawalemi:
@Demdem, thanks but what will be the faith of thousands of students who wrote and passed JAMB but their certificate has no reference - no alma mata?

I'm sure you are aware that there in many higher institutions, some of there courses are not accredite by NUC and their students graduate in these non-accredited courses. BTT, what is the point in having a specialised university when the existing OOU(OSU) had a fully functional education faculty? OOU was deliberately starved of funds by the erstwhile administration.

Setting up mushroom institutions as political leverages when you can least afford to fund them is no achievement sir.

Jarus, what do you think?

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-867424.0.html

Witty and thought provoking. Undoubtedly, so many people of varying backgrounds are  here to participate or 'watch proceedings'
