Raymond Dokpesi also has a gun manufacturing company??

How did he qualify for a payment of N2.1Billion??

This country sef

I now believe this site has has been commissioned as an active participant in the programmed miseducation and dumbing down of Nigerians. If that is not so, why is the owner who is assumed to be an intellectual pretending he isn't seeing the obvious tribulations this highly informative and cerebral thread is passing through?

Has it become a crime for normal folks to discuss intelligently in an atmosphere devoid of rancour here?

Is this site meant to promote only animalistic, pedestrian and moronic thoughts, discussions and ideas? Can't any space be found for intelligent discussions?

I've read more gutter words, clichés and sentences on this site than I heard in my entire long stay in diobu and rainbow town ghetto of PH yet those excuses for human beings aren't banned. In fact i still came across some today so what crimes have my people committed here that warrants these bans?

This thread is the main reason why some of us still keep up appearances here. Why the hate?

Abeg where's Aareonakankanfo??

Did he deactivate? Or is it cabbieAC??

Ema je ki iranu awon eyan mase anfani yi get under your skins na!!!

Mysterious death of Audu
Assassination attempt on Ekweremadu
Assassination attempt on GEJ
Kidnapping of Olu Falae
Assassination attempt and house siege of Dogara
A brutal chill has come over Nigeria,
It is vengeful, unrepenting, unforgiving, and ungodly
citizens be awake, be vigilent.

Can we also safely conclude, from the bold, that GEJ murdered Yaradua because he coveted the seat of president?

Una go kill una selves last last over votes hustled by the Audu the hardworking crook.

Farnsworth:

Nigeria is suppose to be among the top 20 largest economies by 2020, do you thing we will make it?

opinions below...

It was never going to be even if we all had succeeded in killing GMB before the elections to enable GEJ return unopposed.

The fundamentals of the economy were already in danger as at February 2015 and everyone knew it. Even NOI admitted it.

It was simply wishful thinking and it remains so

Ooni begins work on N7.6b resort in Ile-Ife

https://thenationonlineng.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Ooni.jpg

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has begun work on a N7.6 billion resort in the ancient town.

The Ife Grand Resort & Leisure is sited near the Ile-Ife toll gate on the Ife-Ibadan Expressway.

The project will be a replica but a far better model of his Inagbe Grand Resort in Lagos, built for N3.5 billion.

A close associate of the monarch said the project, a seven-star hotel, would consist of 300 rooms.

Facilities in the resort will include an artificial lake on which an 8,000-capacity floating bar will stand, spas, a golf course, three swimming pools, a lawn tennis court, an indoor sports hall, 30 horses and quad bikes for pleasure ride.
The resort will also feature a children’s play centre, mud brick houses, and a 5,000- guest hall.

Most of the materials to be used will be sourced from Ile-Ife and processed by the monarch’s factory.

Operating under the corporate name Gran Imperio Limited, Ogunwusi’s company specialises in developing estates and resorts.

The source added that the sites for other resorts had been acquired in Abuja, Port-Harcourt and Maiduguri.

The monarch, in his speech after his selection, said he would embark on activities to develop Ile-Ife.

Oba Ogunwusi is to be inaugurated as the 51st Ooni on December 7.

Why will I not like this man??

Aromas:
Sure you're right bro noting good comes easy. But wait o, money dey dis con3 o

Of course money dey the country if only the goats go allow the yams rest.

Anyway whether they like it or not, we will remove the yams from the reach of the goats. Its a sound advice from GEJ

Amaechi wey no get respect for 'big men' and godfathers and no dey kuku hear word before.....

Dem no get choice but to comply....

Not even now wey we don light candle, put on torchlight dey find money

On ICTN I stand too jare

zik4ever:
The long term solution is for Nigeria to refine sufficient crude locally and if possible, strategise to become an exporter of refined petroleum products. That Nigeria exports crude and cant even find buyers for her crude at this time; and is importing refined product so heavily, is a scandal, sham, scam and shame that should have long entered the Guinness book of world records!. Apart from security and perhaps infrastructure, availability and affordability of PMS, DPK and AGO is the minimum key performance indicator (KPI) that we should use to assess any government in this country.

Didn't want to comment here but it will be a sin and a crime not to help highlight the bold.

If that your statement highlighted doesn't get all the PDP/APC rogues to think, nothing else should. How can we have unsold cargoes on the sea yet lack a refinery worthy of the name to refine for us? The African, nay the Nigerian truly was made from a material different from the rest of humanity.

God bless you for your wisdom bro

I endorse this message from Dele Momodu

I'm 100% in support.

Weldone Mr Jim Obazee

IlekeHD:
True. Do not engage with such individuals on this thread, kindly report them.

superduperjay:
Bros they've been here many times just ignore them or report. The thread is off frontpage now.

No problems my people.

Thanks

IlekeHD:
Naive, but without intentional evil.

But who better to know the ediocy they'll unleash on the thread than he who created it and watches over it?

You will soon see plenty oloribobo people start displaying their inherited madness here now.

Bigprozzie:
Seun was just trying to give the thread more visibility. He made the decision in good faith but he doesn't understand that some elements will try and derail it

There are so many ways that CabbieAc could have passed the message to him instead of been rude about it.

But he as the owner of this forum can't feign ignorance of what this beautiful creation has become in recent times. Bringing this magnificent thread to the homepage will also attract retards who have nothing sensible to offer. The quality of discussion here is at risk with the attention it will get now.

Who carry this glorious thread come front page

Do they want to kill it?

I was shocked when my wife told me she saw my beloved thread on FP!!

Aproko messenger, help us take it back jare....ta lo be yin ni se??

modath:
I mean it, it was on point but you self depreciated it so had to appreciate it...

Me believe Ribadu would win ke, when I'm not indomie brain Okupe..

I've been supporting PMB since tipe tipe (my parent was narrating how he made scapegoat of some of their ogas way back when in Fed Sec Ikoyi & i just knew that's the guy to make us do right) & only used Ribadu as a point of illustration...

Seem you missed the part where i wrote that my friend claimed he is an easily manipulated simpleton which was why he was an easy tool for OBJ to fight his political enemies..

of course you can't be okupe who has self confessed to be a bastard

I have always liked Buhari too but in 2011, I just wanted a Niger Delta man to also get there aside the fact that I really believed he was a breath of fresh air. Our mantra in Port Harcourt then was "it was time for the etibo (ijaw attire) to hold sway in aso rock

I for fear if truly you had any belief in Ribadu. Tinubu only used him to guage the pulse of national politics. It looks a crooked and sinister move but we aren't discussing sainthood here ya know

modath:
This is no rant & you know it... you just want someborry to complement you on a job well done....


I will just something to it with two illustrations about my perception of the Jagaban...

1.In 2011, ACN presented Nuhu Ribadu , it was expected that the Yoruba people will go with that plan but sohin happened but it is a subject for another day...

I did my usual Ajala work no pay campaign for PMB on my SM pages, to friends, work/biz life cos according to a friend in EFCC, Ribadu is a weak willed, malleable creature which made it easy for OBJ to use him in his special vendetta against errant govs & political associates....

Till today, I'm still marveled by the events of 2011..



2...
Opeyemi Bamidele VS Fayemi in Ekiti... It needs no soothsayer to highlight the fact that APC lost ekiti cos Jagaban for whatever reasons best known to him supported Fayemi despite it being obvious Ekiti people didn't want an Acada governor & were going to ensure he didn't return...

Fayemi meant & did arguably well but he was too elitist for the average ekiti man who prefers a Governor that will dance bata at his son's freedom party... The market woman whose preference is for a governor who will share a corn cob with her..

Tinubu knew quite well MOB would have swung the votes but he let pride (wild guess) make the decision not to field him dictate the course of events...

That decision i still can't wrap my head around..

Jagaban wants the SW to progress but it will be at his own dictates & pace...

As for Pa Awolowo, My parents enjoyed free education & i know the trickle down effect on myself & siblings, so i will swallow spit on top my opinion....

@the bold, was that a tongue-in-cheek statement or you meant it?

1. Did you actually believe that Ribadu/Fola Adeola stood any chance in 2011?

Omo iya, pls think again. I don't know if Tinubu cut any deal with GEJ then. If he did, GEJ simply paid another owo omo gor because Ribadu was no threat and even with Buhari in the fray then, it couldn't have stopped Jonathan's March. I made up my mind to vote GEJ then because I firmly believed he could be different.

Yoruba's say "ti owo eni ko ba ti to eku ida, a ki beere iku to pa baba eni" (I hope that came out well). Tinubu would be a romantic ediot if he ever assumed ACN stood any chance in 2011.

2. I never heard of Opeyemi Bamidele till it was almost time for the election. Like I've said many times, I know very little about SW politics so if you insist all you wrote there is sanctioned by God, I can't dispute it even if I wish to

Talk about Wike, Amaechi, Princewill, Awuse, Odili etc in Rivers state, then I'll boast myself an authority.

Shymm3x

I long for another Awo and his era but I must constantly bring myself back to the earth and admit the truth that men of that hue are no more. Even though distant uncles of mine like late senator Akinboro told us after the devil, Awo was next in line, Awo will always be the father of modern Yoruba nation. The truth is that every human has a dark side including you and I.

I remember when democracy started and the Yoruba nation was to be compensated for Abiola's death, we all queued behind Falae because he approximated closest to what we could manage than OBJ but he too had to get down into the mire to outsmart an renowned disciple of Awo in Bola Ige through the committee of 23 'wisemen who voted 14 to 9 against Ige. For those familiar with that episode, they'll admit Falae also did a Tinubu to beat Ige. Falae lost to OBJ who had/has no regard for Yoruba nationalism and it showed in the way he bamboozled his way through the SW in 2003. Only Tinubu survived the onslaught because he utilised the same system we villify him for today and its ironic that the same ebora had to rely on Tinubu's platform to get one over GEJ, his godson.

However, how do we think Tinubu could have provided a platform for us to even have a chance to negotiate if he didn't get deep into the dirt and murky waters of current Nigerian politics? I like Osinbajo and I believe he'll make a fine leader (he's even an Awo by marriage ), but I can assure you he wouldn't win councillorship against a bus conductor in Lagos without borrowing some leaf from Tinubu's book of political wisdom.

Politics in Nigeria has left the era of Awo, Azikiwe, Sardauna, Rewane, Aminu kano etc. I dare say that a George Washington will also find it not easy to win an election in the USA today

Tinubu isn't a saint. Tinubu should do better. Tinubu isn't Awo and can never be. That much is very obvious. However, things are a lot different than Awo's time. Why, I'm even posting this on my phone while lying on my bed and you'll read it instantly though you're thousands of miles away. That is enough to tell you that the times have changed and a whole lot changed with it. Not least the politics

A lot of us long for our pastors to cut down on their greed yet we've refused to stop going to church. We simply pitched our tent where we believe things are still a bit sane. Its the same with our politics. We have to choose whom we feel is the lesser devil.

While the jungle was dark and threatening, Tinubu was the only one bold enough to stand. Who else then to lead the charge?

I might have spoken from a very narrowed vision of Yoruba politicians but pls don't blame me too much. Compared to the politicians that dictate things around me here in the Niger Delta, Tinubu qualifies for beatification.

My rants or whatever are over jare. I don't even know if it if it makes sense

meforyou1:
Last time I checked, Dino melaye is in APC

no one i know is disputing that. not even Lai Mohammed

modath:
Seems I want direct enough..

The reason for the overbloating of the civil service is the culture of politicians sending names with letters/ cards to heads of MDAs or making it a condition for budget approval.

How do you expect these heads to refuse without any backlash?


Nigeria is Effed Up!!

Ki olorun o gba wa ni yen o

Your blood dey hot ooo

So man wey enter service @ 30, marry @ 32, where e go see money train hin shuren?

It used to be 65, it was reduced, can't be reduced further.. As for fresh employment, you need to speak with Legislathives & political appointees..

They can't stop employment because some critical staff will age and retire. However the problem will be greatly reduced if the employment process is closely monitored to ensure that those recruited match the actual needs in the particular ministry or MDA.

With time, the redundant staff will age out

Vintage Lai.

Dino Melaye, this is for you

”Those behind the rumour that a single company, Systemspecs, made 25 billion Naira from charging 1% of TSA funds that passed through the company’s software, REMITA, may need to return to elementary school to get some lessons in arithmetic. This is because in order for 1% charge to fetch 25 billion Naira, the funds accruing into the TSA must have reached 2.5 trillion Naira. Yet, the total amount of funds in the TSA to date is still much less than 2 trillion.''

The way the comedian went about it, some dolts were already trumpeting that REMITA was costing the country N25Billion/day. I wonder how much would remain in the account if it were so

Fayose wants Buhari to tell Nigerians who owns REMITA. Well REMITA is owned by SYSTEMSPECS which is a firm promoted by the following people

Chairman: Christopher Kolade

Managing Director: John Obaro

Directors
Mr Emmanuel Ocholi
Dr. Ernest Ndukwe
Mr Deremi Stands
Dr. Emmanuel Eze

I wonder which of them is PMB or maybe they're all dunces being used by APC chieftains. Also, for those too lazy to research, SYSTEMSPECS signed this contract in Dec 2013. If you don't know who was president then, click HERE to settle it once and for all

I can relate very well with this

21. There’s always that one sibling who you told
was adopted/found in a dumpster.

My very troublesome kid sister. Whenever she got on my nerves, i tell her 'our' family was only helping her

Then my immediate younger sister who would never let me enjoy my meat or fish in peace. We are all married now and whenever we visit each other, we still fight over the protein in my plate or hers whoever is eating at that point in time. Our spouses just have a good laugh at our unending 'childishness'

Siblings are good but could also be a pain in the bombom

God bless all my siblings......love you all plenty

favoured234:
Life most times is give and take ..
My friend treats her Cotonou house-help as a mini-god and the house-help treats the children as mega-gods..
She has everything an adult needs to be comfortable, she couldn't learn her handiwork cos she wanted to learn photography and no training center around them..
If her baby cries, before she lazily gets out of bed, the lady is already with the baby...
The children are always clean, the house tidy, she is super-respectful
After 2 years with her she could not come back from Cotonou after her yearly vacation and she wanted to send her sister over but my friend refused cos she felt she could manage alone..

Uptil date the babe still calls her to check on the children.
In a nutshell, treat them well and have rest of mind..

@the bold is the exact experience my younger sister had with her maid. The girl was made a member of the family and she only left when it was time to go get married.

Her stay in my sister's house was a blessing to us all and she too had the time of her life there.

summary, treat your house helps nicely so you can have peace of mind.

I was thinking of the best way to say what modath just said but didn't want to come across as condescending so that I don't get called 'Iwo London' as I was referred to at a FIAOSA meeting at OAU for airing my views.

I never lived in the SW so don't know much about the place which is why this thread has become like a library to me. However this thread I believe is one for finding solutions to a problem associated with playing politics in Nigeria. As much as I detest Tinubu's style and would disagree with anyone who compared him to Awo, I can't deny the fact that he stood in the gap when the whole SW was almost sold to the same folks who murdered MKO. Also who would forget what he did with NADECO?

Omo buruku ni ojo ire tie. Let's leave the attacks and instead focus on solutions like you guys are drawing out. I'm really learning plenty things on here.

Let's see how we can make the best of a bad situation. Let's get to making lemonade with the lemons we might have 'mistakenly' bought thinking they were oranges

Also we should remember say "shoki lo be oge"

Jaymaxxy:
Were CPC and ACN together as at then?

Hmmm.....i wonder o

agabaI23:
Yea, I am conversant with IT solutions and I know how much it can cost. So I don't really give a flying monkey especially with the info at my disposal now.
What I was laughing at is the perchant to isolate the not-so-appealing part of the arrangement and give it to GEJ and appropriate the appealing part to Buhari.

You know Buhari is still running on GEJ's policies while at the same time calling him corrupt. I don't know how we will reconcile this kinda stuation...

GEJ met OBJ's policies and projects on ground too. Just like OBJ met Abacha and Abdulsalam's policies too and ran with some while jettisoning the the others. Government is a continuum no matter how bad the predecessor is.

My brother, the issue was never about policies. Even if a donkey becomes Nigerian president, there's no shortage of national planning documents to guide such. The problem has always being the will power to see it through. The spirit to insist things be done the right way.

My bros, I dey.

I am so much hoping Fash get's it right. I used to say that he did not do much in Lagos because of Tinubu's overbearing influence.

I do hope I am right. I am praying that he won't be blackamailed out of office by those Northerners because Buhari has no medicine against his brothers. Ask the middle belters.

How your side?

I'm happy Fashola seems to have weaned himself of Tinubu's influence. It's better for him and The responsibilities he now has. I have the belief he knows HE WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY if he messes up this one. I'm sure PMB would have told him that too. I pray he succeeds....not for him, but for the good of the country.

I dey very fine my brother. No wahala

I expect SYSTEMSPECS and the CBN to defend themselves properly when the senate finally sets up a committee to probe the transaction.

No sane human should expect innovators like these to develop such a critical platform for free.

agabaI23:
I thought TSA was all Buhari affair meant to kill corruption?

welcome my friend

There's nothing corrupt about SYSTEMSPECS getting paid for developing REMITA to assist CBN in achieving transparency through TSA.

The joke is on the guys claiming 'fraud' and putting it on PMB. It was signed under Sanusi amd GEJ and the owners are from your tribe and my tribe so agabaI23 and theV0ice have cases to answer

I know how much my former bank paid INFOSYS of India to get us on FINACLE and i know how much my current company is paying for using the SAP software.

If the senate doesn't want CBN to pay that sum, then CBN should put it's in-house IT gurus to task to develop their own


How you dey my brother?

SLIDEwaxie:
you are a very big fool. answer the question. is there a conpany named Remitta? Yes or No? You idiot!

Relax bro....The guy's irritation was directed at the poster who is calling REMITA a company
