Some customs are so retrogressive

U don't have to be derogatory of peoples' cultures. This is not as retrogressive as some cultures where people still feed on human flesh in Eastern Nigeria and where people are killed on the ground of possessing witchcraft. Some over-aged ladies in some cultures find it difficult to get married owing to over bloated bride price. These are cultural practices in some places and nobody is saying they are retrogressive. Going to those places and choosing to have anything to do with them is purely optional.

DaZion:
As we are now in this world.Many christians don't even bother to know whether is closest friend is a believer or unbeliever...
.
Some even choose an unbeliever as their partner and mentor without knowing that they are diverting their spiritual life into an unspiritual life...

Brethren, Is it right/good to have close friendship with an unbeliever as a christian?

If I may ask. What is your definition of an UNBELIEVER?

Splufic:
Please house, I have a peculiar case here. I didn't receive either of the text messages or mails that were sent prior the first test. As a result, I took my mind off the NNPC recruitment process. But to my surprise (a day to d test), a friend called to inform me Dat he saw my invitation letter in one of d courier services. I went for the letter and saw my old phone number( which has been discarded) on it. I have done all I could to retrieve it but all to no avail. Was told it has been recycled. I know this may sound like stories upon stories. But I really wish to know d outcome of my test. Any advice/suggestion please? I wud appreciate greatly.

if truly the line has been recycled, try call the number and tell the new user u once used the line and that u are expecting a crucial msg. he/she might be of help. good luck.

Sagytarius:
Oh thank goodness, he didn't say "Independent Nigerian Electoral Commission".
Rating: Confidence, Articulation and Composure very impressive. Just the accent issues.

That said, I still don't trust any of these politicians. They've proven not to have the plight of the citizens at heart.

#Continues to watch the political drama from my Den.

U expected American/British accent from a Nigerian? Not everybody will live a fake life, claiming to be who they are not. How many American presidents have African accent? not even Obama with African origin.

adenuga33:
APC kept screaming "Change!!! Change!!! Change!!!", then
INEC got the message wrong and CHANGED the election
date #LifeIsConfusinfWithAPC #VoteGEJTill2019

It was ur GEJ and PDP that demanded for a change in the election date despite the stance of the council of state and most Nigerians.

One only needs to see the men an women hired by the PDP wearing TAN T-shirts.They are touts with criminal record. At every of their campaign venue, you will see them smoking hemp/cannabis openly with all sort of alcoholic drinks.These are the kind of youths they want and expect all of us to be: a young man without hope/future, while their own children live and study abroad.
Nigerian youth! Look b4 u leap!!!

Sometimes I just wonder why people choose to attend big and often flamboyant churches to worship while there are a number of small churches in their neighborhoods where they could easily fellowship and meditate to God.
Just thinking aloud!

Colourful with imported crowd.

While I do not support public officers living large at the expense of the tax payers. I do not see anything special about Buhari sending his daughter to any school anywhere in the world. Buhari is no ordinary citizen, he is a retired general and a former head of state. Ordinary councilors in Nigeria send their children to schools abroad. Nothing anybody can say about him here or anywhere for that matter can make me as a person change my mind about him. He remains the only ex-head of state who does not own a private university, a refinery or any known company. His pension as a former head of state is enough to give his children the best of education anywhere in the world.
Even pastors now own private universities, private jets, multi-billion naira investments all over the world, all at the expense of their impoverished followers and nobody is looking in their direction.

A bunch of broom symbolizes unity and oneness in Yorubaland. It is called 'osusu owo'. A stick of broom can be broken easily but a bunch of broom is not easy to break. Together we stand,divided we fall.That is what it means.

benuejosh:
as a civil servant with FG my tax is deducted from my salary, i pay tax yearly for my company and livestock farm. and as an Economist by training i should have a say in any thing i see and feel is wrong. do you think is easy paying such huge amount of money for tax and then no dividend to show proof of what your money is been used for.

Even as an employee in the private sector, taxes are deducted from source and for those unemployed they still pay taxes in form of consumption taxe and VAT which translates to higher prices of consumer goods and services. The nation is said to be broke, INEC is yet to get money budgeted for the commission. The president ought to lead by example. Throwing a big party at this time smacks of insensitivity when 70% of federal civil servants are yet to receive their December salaries.

After the NIS saga, anybody that applies for any FGN job under this administration does so at his/her own peril.

Thanks for bringing this up to remind our ever-loyal saTANoids. The most troubling part of that subsidy regime is that of Kerosine which is about the only fuel for the poor man who neither owns a car or a generator. We are being told that the price of kerosine has been subsidized by the govt (with only God knows how much),yet you and I know that Kerosine sells for between N130 and N140 per litter even by major oil marketers.No government official either from the ministry of petroleum resources,NNPC or DPR has come out to explain to Nigerians on the development and yet no one has lost his job

Congratulations to Oluwaseun Osewa and his crew for this well deserved award. Nairaland has no doubt touched the lives of so many Nigerians in terms of education, information and entertainment. More importantly jobs adverts. I am a living proof of this. I have moved from one job to another in the last three years,courtesy of Nairaland. God bless Oluwaseun, God bless Nairaland, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. More grease to your elbow.

aby1976:
It is very unfortunate that some Nigerians including public office holders are too lazy, to read the elementary sections of our Constitution, some of which are self explanatory.

Now, let us examine what Chapter V, Part 1 (Composition Of National Assembly) sections 47 -50 of the Constitution Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria holds:


There shall be a National Assembly for the Federation which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives.

48. The Senate shall consist of three Senators from each State and one from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

49. Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the House of Representatives shall consist of three hundred and sixty members representing constituencies of nearly equal population as far as possible, provided that no constituency shall fall within more than one State.

50. (1) There shall be:-

(a) a President and a Deputy President of the Senate, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves; and

(b) a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves.

(2) The President or Deputy President of the Senate or the Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives shall vacate his office -

(a) if he ceases to be a member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, otherwise than by reason of a dissolution of the Senate or the House of Representatives; or

(b) when the House of which he was a member first sits after any dissolution of that House; or

(c) if he is removed from office by a resolution of the Senate or of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, by the votes of not less than two-thirds majority of the members of that House.

So where did PDP find the supposedly "loophole" or authority in law, in asking Hon. Tambuwal to resign? The only option left for them, is to rally their members and see if they can muster the required number when plenary resumes in decemeber, in order to satisfy Section 50, subsection 2 C as highlighted above.

Anything else is calling for anarchy!

Don't let pdp deceive u folks

Thanks so much for this piece. The culture of impunity has to stop. Mimiko recently decamped to PDP and his security details were not removed, neither was he asked to resign.

Isiterere:
gibberish!!!
Tell Mimiko and all his state house representatives to leave their post too .
Btw, seems you forgot that Tambuwa being made the speaker was not with the support of PDP .
Tell your PDP gather more strength to have 2/3 majority if they want him out .
Stop saying what you don't know about constitution.
There is no where it was stated that speaker should come from a majority party ...

This PDP e-rodent can be so lazy to get fact.


ALL IZZ WELL

I did not want to comment until I saw the only enlightened comment by you. PDP supporters on this forum need to be reminded that the powers that be within the party then were more interested in that woman from Oyo state in becoming the speaker and not Tambuwa. Tambuwa was supported by majorly APC members in the house who felt slapped by the attempt to impose that woman on the house by the PDP. Now he has aligned with the people who share the same dreams with him and PDP and their supporters are now crying foul.
They should tell Mimiko and his legislators in Ondo State to also resign since they have left the party that brought them all to their offices.

Sorry guy. did u read the article at all? It said SOME areas had not have water supply for the past 17 years, not the whole of the state.

laurel03:
politicians can lies? i stay around adamasingba in ibadan and d area is one of d area that have tap water in ibadan... 17years ke? big lie from d state governor... water was rushing well during ladoja regime even akala regime in our area and other areas. AJIMOBI with full of propaganda... oni ro buruku. y not107yrs?

A Buhari Fashola ticket from the APC is a sure joker if tactfully played. An average Yoruba man is not a religion freak. Besides, the issue of possible Islamization/ introduction of Sharia is a ploy by those who are afraid of that formidable combination to gain religious sympathy from feeble minded Nigerians. A president and his VP are just an arm(Executive) of the government and can do nothing of that magnitude without the concurrence of the other arms (Legislature and Judiciary). That fear is baseless. It is only been touted by those who want to perpetuate corruption,gross ineptitude and economic malfeasance.

Thank you for bringing forth this piece. Some Nigerian youths are too forgetful to remember this gory incidence. The Andy Uba (of questionable character) led TAN is populated by most of these youths that suffered from this recruitment scam. The reason: poverty occasioned by idleness (unemployment). Vote GEJ again and you are doomed for another four years. Then you will still need to carry those certificates around in search of a non-existent job for the next FOUR YEARS .

PRESIDENT JONATHAN HAS FAILED THE NIGERIAN YOUTH

Good luck to Keshi.He has definitely done his bits. He has it on record as an indigenous coach who won the nations cup for the country.
And to Amodu, I wish u a successful tenure.

Buhari only expressed his opinion on the widespread corruption that characterized that era, just like every other Nigerian.His becoming the president does not give him such powers since matters like that usually pass through the national assembly (populated by both Muslims and Christians) before being implemented. Only corrupt minded Nigerians will not prefer somebody like Buhari to GEJ.

This is what I call unprofessional-ism on the part of Keshi. If you have grudges with your players, must it be known to newsmen who will only help you to blow it out of proportion for their own selfish reason.

Let the kids grow up with the mindset that they don't ever need heavy make-up to be beautiful so that when they eventually grow up, they will not depend on boyfriend/man friend/sugar daddy to give them money for their make up.
Check the list of successful women in the world today, they are the ones who spend less time applying make up and carrying expensive hairdo.
