Foreign AffairsRe: Saudi Arabia Drops Islamic Calendar Over Oil Crisis - Adopts Gregorian, Cuts Pay by TheAlchemist: 4:17pm On Oct 03, 2016

I tire. We in a country where ignorance rules.

Propose wage cuts and gbam strike!

Truth be told is the average Nigerian worker really earning "Living wage". You can not compare the social security programmes in Saudi Arabia to that of Nigeria.
PoliticsRe: Recession: 10 National Assets FG May Sell- Premium Times by TheAlchemist: 4:41pm On Oct 02, 2016
We should not get too sentimental about this so called National Assets, i would rather view them as business enterprises, fact be told this asset may begin to depreciate in value with the force for renewable energy blowing across Europe, Americas, Asia. We may find out that 10 to 15 years later that we may have wished we had sold much earlier and gotten maximum value.... Do you realize that about 20 years or even 10 years ago banks would give any amount of loan to any investor to develop an oil block... but reality has shown that the value of oil block has diminished and most banks would consider it a risky investment given the low crude oil price...

My only prayer is that they sell it off to international investors... who are more efficient at managing such investments.
CrimeRe: Gunmen Kill Family Of Six In Lagos by TheAlchemist: 3:46pm On Sep 30, 2016
it seems wickedness is increasing in the heart of man daily, in the movie scar face, when the baddest gangster that ever liveth Tony Montana in company of the other assassin who wanted to pull the trigger to detonate the bomb, in order eliminate their target in a car rigged with a bomb, he said don't because of the kids in the car, he refused Tony's request, and Scarface promptly killed him to save the 2 children. Even a gangster can have human sympathy how could anybody pull a trigger on an 8 month child!
How much could the assassins have been paid, to carry out this act of sheer madness.
This is just pure wickedness and it can only happen in a country like Nigeria, where the big man knows he could get away with such a crime.

There are two likely scenarios either the taxi driver is also a gang member, that later became a whistle blower which lead to the arrest of several of his former gang members or he made off with some suitcase of dollars while offering transport service to a very rich man, and has refused to return the loot.

EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION


- Corruption aggravate unemployment and under development.

- It engenders mass poverty and thwart efforts to overcome it.

- Most infrastructural decay and unsatisfactory provision of amenities can be traced directly or indirectly to corruption. There is a total collapse of power and road net work in the country today due to corrupt attitude of past leaders.

- It erodes the ethical base of society: -as due diligence, excellence, honesty, merit and integrity are discouraged.

- It breeds all kinds of crimes and vandalism – arm robbery, kidnapping, youth agitation etc.

- It lead to massive brain drain – a great number of Nigeria best brains have been driven to other part of the world where they now spearhead developmental and scientific exploits.

Everybody hates corruption, but let tell you what i hate more than corruption is INJUSTICE... you can not go after Patience while leaving Buratai, Dambazau and Co.. Buhari has constantly shown he is short sighted in his decision.... If you can not punish Buratai, Dambazau, turai yardua, Mariam Abacha, then please leave PEJ... To Buhari all this people are saints, only PEJ is corrupt ... #saynotoinjustice; #saynotoselectivecorruptionfight! I come from a region where we cherish fairness and hate any form of injustice.
CelebritiesRe: Marion Cotillard's Affair With Brad Pitt Caused His Split With Angelina Jolie by TheAlchemist: 8:51am On Sep 22, 2016
idris4r83:
That is why ISLAM allows one to marry four wives if you can treat them fairly equally.
.

To be controlled by sensual desire... is clearly an evidence of lack of Spiritual maturity.
If you get to the point of closeness where you experience the awesomeness of God Almighty, if you can step into HIS presence in Praise and Worship, all the things the world has to offer would be like a mess of Porridge.. including all the pretty Jezebel or women in different packages. I pray you transform from fleshy desire!
God Created Adam and Eve and his prescription is still the best ( one man one woman)... but with the fall of man and with the so called acquired knowledge, man became imprisoned to sensual/fleshy desire.... Even MKO (may his soul rest in peace) married so much women, sadly the state of his family leaves much to be desired...
I come from a polygamous family, i pray not to repeat my Father's mistake.... No woman would happily want to share her man with any woman ... This statement has nothing to do with religion.
My Father told me that when his blessed Father was alive.... he gave him lots of instruction before he left the world. He sadly transgressed one of the instruction never, ever marry more than one woman... My father well entered into polygamy and still remains today his greatest regret!

I myself pray i don't enter into the trap of polygamy... In the short term looks great but in the long run well i am sure you know a lot of tales among children of different women, unhealthy rivalry, jealousy etc....

Nigeria is a wasteful society, we waste everything from natural resources to human resources. Our trademark is wastefulness. I also pray she does not encounter destiny destroyers... The Spiritual wickedness in Nigeria should not be underestimated.

tunde82seidat:
. I disagree with u on this,even the Qur'an emphasizes d need for physical attraction in marriage
Inner beauty first before physical beauty! Value the power of intangibles then you would understand the deeper mystery called LOVE!
Physical beauty fades with time, after a while it is propped up by facial make-ups, mascaras, foundations etc... it always amuses me when i see ladies at our car park already late to work, yet furiously applying make-ups!

A society that values "what we see attributes" more than "what we dont see" is walking on a time bomb!
A society that is driven more by sensual desire will more easily spiral into moral decadency!

If you can plot a curve between physical beauty and inner beauty, you would see while physical beauty would have a declining curve, inner beauty never declines but keeps rising upward.

Valuing inner beauty more than outward appearance brings more blessings to a family!

PoliticsRe: Shell Nigeria Declares A Force Majeure For Bonny Light Crude Oil Lifting by TheAlchemist: 3:35pm On Aug 13, 2016
Observant:
From PMBs previous stint as head of state, It was only logical to have very little faith in him to handle our very plural, diverse and complex society.
he probably has good intentions to restore sanity/law and order to our society, he appears to have the will, but clearly lacks the approach, the wisdom and understanding to effectively deliver on his intentions.

We saw it in 1984 when he sent soldiers to dictate the prices of commodities in the market without recourse to cost of production etc.
We saw it when his draconian policies forced the UK government to introduce visa requirements for Nigeria traveling to the UK.

What sort of slowpoke arrogantly scruples the "artificial peace" of the region laying the golden egg at a period when the egg is half its price?
A 15yrs old with a waec would know not to do that. A 15yrs old would know to pamper the region, get as much as he can while heavily investing in other sectors agriculture, mining, manufacturing, trades, education etc. When these regions have the prospects to cushion the effect of a confrontation with the fraud called amnesty program and pipe contract by the rogue called tompolo, then you can systematically whine the country of oil dependence.
But no, the bigot in Aso rock went on zombiehighway with army of living dead supporter chanting kill them all.

Well let's see the result of that brain dead venture.
1.) Drastically Reduced output of crude
2.) Unnecessary death of our men in uniform.
3.) Shutdown of production plants
4) folding up of servicing firms creating more economic woes
5.) Then another very brainless move of spending taxpayers money looking for commercial crude deposit in the north. (One begins to wonder if these people read global news at all. I am 100% sure the world will never have need for as much crude as it did 4-5yrs ago, crude will remain on a downward spiral hence forth.)
