To all those that claim Muslims don't pay tithes and not billed in the mosque, I have seen it in EVERY mosque that I have passed by.
They painted the wall on the left or right hand side in black and write everyone's payment alongside name.
So, everyone knows if you are defaulting.
On their festivals, they take offering bowls to the roadside to collect offering from passersby.

Muslims don't pay tithe but zakat which is once in a year and it's not for every Muslim. I mean the poor r excluded,before u pay it u must value ur income for a year,the worth will determine ur qualification and its not calculated in percentage, its 1/40 .the board or chart u see on the mosque wall is for monthly contribution of pple in that area and its not compulsory.many pple pay it without having their names written there.mind u the money is not going to anybody's pocket it's for mosque recurrent expenditure like generator maintenance and others.they also collect money to pay school fee

I guess this man has sneaked into Nigeria,buried his mama in a shallow grave and ran for cover before announcing the death of this woman

lilwetdick:
who told you he is feeling the heat, someone that was complaining recently in an interview with mo ibrahim about republic of benin not wanting his cement and importing cement from china, some of these cement have found their way into Nigeria...i be will be surprised if this border closure isnt his idea.

nobody tells me, I know he export cement through Benin to Ghana.Beninn govt has stopped Dangote cement from entering their country in retaliation for our border closure

lilwetdick:
who cares

closing the border is good for dangote and other producers of made in Nigerian Goods, the Chinese have been using neighboring countries to undermine our manufacturing base.

border closure is not good for Dangote, the man is feeling the heat.

I don't even understand all those grammars

adioolayi:
keep complaining ....The closure is here to stay.

For majority of Nigeria's population born in 70's and early 80's......Rice was gold...eaten mostly around festive period and in parties. Maybe we should go back to that era and start eating our porridge corn and Beans. (Egbo ati ewa)

In Nigeria, we have three types of people from the great tribe of Yoruba kingdom found in Southwest Nigeria, and they are:

1.) Yoruba Christians - very intelligent, classy and highly reasonable Yorubas, examples are: Papa Oyedepo, Daddy Adeboye, Adeyemi, Adefarasin, Osinbajo, Adesina, etc, etc

2.) Yoruba Muslims - very unstable, unreliable, unpredictable, bias, identity-less, confused, diabolical, tribalistic & hatred filled!

3.) Yoruba APC - very cunning, deceptive, unreasonable, hypocritical, diabolical, dangerous, Igbophobic, Buharidic, toxic, lack ideology & focus

u r not only depressed but also in a confused state of mind.Osinbajo is a Yoruba Xtian and APC member

The 30k we r talking about as the minimumwage,is it basic salary or the total package

Nigerianization:
A woman of class.

Nobody will understand what Aisha is going through except you are married to a spouse whose primary concerns are every other person but you.

She is fighting for her marriage
Her family
Her children
Her dementia sufferer of a husband, and
The institution he represents.

Thou I don't blame Aisha on this issue but I see her as one of those greedy women who belive their husband money is for them and their children alone. They won't like to see their inlaws around. No wonder Buhari said she belongs to kitchen and other room

To me i see aisha as a greedy woman of which is something of expect of any woman find in position of power, all what is doing now is not today is something that already peculiar to her i think she has already did her worse, which have show how average Africa women we do, to me the kind of respect i have for the wonmen have already drop totally. like yoruba we say ''if you sell your family cheap, you can't get never get them cost.

thanx man,Buhari know her very well.the best place for her is kitchen and other room

When Buhari said Aisha belongs to his kitchen and other room I did not understand him.now i know the kind of woman he married

How can you win the world cup with European style when you are not Caucasian. The Brazilians invented their style of play and use it to dominate the world even the most successful team from Africa use their own style to achieve the little success there have achieved.

we av no choice than to adopt European style of play cos our boys r playing there and many of these new boys know nothing about our style.finaly our coach is an european

So Dino is a gay.IG must hear this

Best9000:
let me make this submission here






The next news will be the death of Aisha Buhari.
It will come in the form of an accident but a planned accident and then Yusuf will now blast out every truth that is to be known


Just my thoughts though

Too much of Indian filmsm is affecting ur sense of reasoning

Mission accomplished!.......next baby mama pls

A touching story. This Is a big lesson to everyone

hisexcellency34:
Buhari has not initiated any new projects since coming to power. Most of the projects he is commissioning are PDP projects started by Goodluck Jonathan

Did PDP and Jonathan complete any of those projects for him to commission? If yes, Buhari is a fraudster. If no PDP and Jonathan are failure

A Ganja Trip With Fela
This is Fela’s week. We must continue to thank Femi, Yeni and their siblings as well as the devotees of The Shrine for keeping the memory of our icon alive . What they are doing billions of Naira left by the rich could not do for the departed owner. Which is to say do what is worthy , and not stashed up wealth and materials things . All of that will never keep your memory in the minds of the living.
This piece is on a lighter mood, an anecdote to further give us an idea of the free spirit of the man who had death in his pouch and will never die. Our own Anikulapo - Kuti. I remember when Fela changed his name from Ransome - Kuti to Anikulapo- Kuti and his elder Brother was asked why he didn’t go with him in the change of name business his retort was that Fela never discussed it with him. He went further to say “ I am a medical doctor who is trained to stave off death how then can I say I have death in my pouch.” Prof Olikoye had a wry sense of humor and he was a delight to be with particularly when in company of his maverick siblings.
This is not the koko of this piece.
It is a different matter altogether. Read it and laugh. We all need laughter to ease the tension of this times.
Now you have seen the title of this piece. Don’t start judging me. I can see some of my enemies, old boy many
they are, saying ah amugbo ti e ni. No wonder ki gbo, ki gba. No I never smoked and will not do although I love the swag of the revolutionary Che Guevara holding the tobacco.
Do try and read this as you follow me on a journey with Abami Eda , Fela Anikulapo - Kuti.
This is not an astral travel. It is real. It was a journey I made with him in 1990(? ).
Beko Ransome Kuti and his comrades in trouble Gani Fawehinmi, Femi Falana, Baba Omojola and I think that young man then, Mayegun, the one with dada hair on his head made a lot of noise in Lagos questioning the authority of Ibrahim Babangida, our then military President.
I learnt the man with the gap tooth had sleepless nights. Our activist brothers even threatened to organize a sovereign national conference. Conference was not the problem but the word ‘sovereign’ just as now that protest is not the problem but the phrase ‘revolution now’. Let me not put my feet on a treason ground, a dangerous path to thread.
As I was saying our brothers, no woman among them o, the Beijing Conference has not held then, were arrested and taken to Abuja. Before we could locate them they have been charged with treasonable felony and remanded in Kuje Prison.
Hearing in their case was to come up in a Kuje Magustrate Court some days after to determine if they qualified to be bailed or not.
To cut a long story short and not delay this trip, we the activists, from veterans to rookies mobilized to give support to our comrades in Abuja on the chosen day.
Fela too was not left out. The abami eda hardly left his house except when on foreign tours or had a show in some parts of Nigeria . He offered to be part of the Lagos crowd storming Abuja. It was exciting that he chose to go. There will be drama with his presence and that ,we reasoned, will provide good copy for the media ,both local and international.
It was my lot to travel with him and some of his aides as well as three of his numerous wives. Apart from we humans he had with him , there were three pillows and a big piece of home baked cake. The pillows were meant to support his bum . He suffered then from a chronic case of hemorrhoid. The cake was to be our snack to and fro.
As we set out he regaled us with stories .You cannot but laugh at Fela stories. He said looking back he consider himself stupid for singing “ my darling valentine” at a point in his musical career . He made jest of Beko and his human rights campaigner crowd and said a lot of self deprecating things.
I didn’t only enjoyed the stories but guffaw as I helped myself with my share of his cake. I have never had any cake that delicious. I learnt from him it was called sponge cake.sponge cake?iyen tun yato o.The onijekuje that I be then, had a fill going to Abuja and returning.
Fela got to Abuja, spread his mat on the floor in front of the court and laid face down while people trooped to see abami himself. It was a rare life opportunity , particularly for northerners who have heard of him but have never seen him live.
Case called. The accused persons to our utter surprise were granted bail. Of course there had been an outcry in the media and internationally. Bail was a face saving measure for the then Babangida regime. There was jubilation and back slapping . Lagos here we come. Abuja was like a no no for many of us at that time. It was a bourgeois enclave where we reasoned the national wealth was stolen.
We set out . Fella puffed on his Obiaruku jumbo wrap. We became passive smokers.
It was not only that day I have passive smoked Igbo around Fela. If you were a journalist at this period or human rights activist, you have a sit at a special location at the Shrine. Dele Omotunde , that great journalist, now a Redeem Church pastor , Lanre Arogundade, Femi Falana, Chuzi Udenwa , also now a pastor in US among several others , were devotees of the Shrine and we had our special place then. I once returned home one day at about 4.00 am and had my head light and my gaze and steps not stable. It took three days of sleeping before I recovered.
On our way back from Abuja to Lagos I continued sponging on Fela’s cake. We arrived Akure and decided to refuel and empty our bowels. Chief Fawehinmi visited the bathroom. We almost lost him that night . If you know how spiritedly he walked you will imagine what I am talking about . Not seeing the drainage on his path he slipped into it one leg first and fell hard. We rushed to pull him up. It was scary . We thanked God then he didn’t hit his head on the concrete floor.
We proceeded on our journey to Lagos eating Fela’s sponge as if it was going out of fashion. We arrived Lagos and I left for my home. The following morning I found myself in the heart of Mushin where Beko had his clinic managed by Dr Balogun. No one could explain what the matter was with me. I couldn’t decode it neither the doctor could. It was assumed it was exhaustion. And I was placed on intravenous drip.
Later in the evening Beko came to see me on my sick bed as he resumed his daily consultation at the poor folks enclave.
“What is the matter with you”, he asked.
Feeling dizzy, couldn’t stand on my feet and my head spinning , I told him. What did you eat in the morning? Nothing, I said. What of of yesterday, he asked? I only had cake , I told him. “You bought it”, he asked . I took from the cake Fela brought along to Abuja, I said.
“Ha ha ha”, he smiled wryly. “O lo je cake Fela ?” ( you ate Fela’s cake)? Igbo lo je yen ( you ate Indian hemp. It was then I discovered that Fela baked his cake with hemp soaked water.
Happy Felabration !

My question is do we have local production that can go round the populace? If not the force of the demand will keep increasing the price which will make this policy an arrant nonsense.

And the increase in price will push many pple into rice farming before u know, the supply will beat demand and price will come down.

Former Super Eagles captain John Obi Mikel wanted Alex Iwobi dropped from the starting line-up during the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, it has been revealed.

It was thought that Mikel would exhibit the top-grade performances with Middlesbrough during the tournament in Egypt but was lacking good physical conditioning despite engaging a personal trainer at the end of last season, BBC reporter Osasu Obayiuwana narrated on Twitter.

The Chelsea legend complained to manager Gernot Rohr that Iwobi was cramping his playing space and style but the German sided with the Arsenal product and handed playmaking duties to him after the opening group match against Burundi.

Rohr has admitted that he had an issue with Mikel at the 2019 AFCON but praised the midfielder nonetheless for his great service to the Super Eagles.

The former Bayern Munich defender stated : ''He served the Super Eagles very well, for many years. It was very important that he finished his career with Nigeria in a good way. I have nothing for respect for him and how we worked together.

''Yes, there were some difficult moments with Mikel during the tournament.

''But it’s normal for players and coaches to have these things. That’s why I’m the manager. I have to manage.''

Mikel announced his retirement from international football following Nigeria's third-place finish at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Kudos to Mr President for taking that drastic action.FP is for attention seekers
