You might be right but not totally.

For the lad to have done this rather than painting on canvas or writing poetry, some innate level of spatial intelligence would be involved, don't you think?

And what would you call that? Wouldn't it be in the realm of
Talents?
Giftings?!
Natural Endowment?!!
Natural predispositions?!!!

Throwing "absolutes" around is only good for brewing long-thing arguments on the "inanities of flimsiness".

if dis is eliciting "wows" from you at this stage, then u don't know naij or the "planlessness" of its policy-makers yet

3 Theories i got
1. Ur church probably sucked !
if u wuz really going to a church that was edifying the life of God in you, you wouldn't be inclined to stay away this long.
Reasons are so often many. People ticked you off, people weren't the goody-two-shoes you expected them to be, the teachings were wack, the preachers were offbase, their expectations of you and everybody else was unrealistic....the list is endless. But in the end, the outcome's always the same.
I ws once in an assembly where everybody ws fighting evrybody; women arguing their heads off , deacons eyeballing each other , guys beefing demselves, sistahs dissing :-Xevrybody and the Pastor? He ws right in the thick of it preaching @everybody while being the worst offender at "sparking, ranting and raving" at the drop of a hat. It was so bad, the Childrens Church picked up on it. When I saw those li'll kids hammering themselves, I knew it was time to go!
You're supposed to go to church for communion with God and succour in the midst of fellow believers but instead you end up gittin' wired into all de dramas & feisty shy.ts of dysfunctional people....the irony of it, running into the same shy.ts you was dodging from!

2. Dark-Kingdom's coming 2get u: Prodigal Son tinz!!
it might be that the pull of worldly enjoyments and tinz that were once a mere distraction to you before are now screwing with your insides so bad that you're now having a swell tyme evolving into a full-blown pagan.

3. It's just a phase!
yeh, just that, a phase.
Meaning, dis state of indifference will pass and u'll outgrow it soon enuf. So. don't sweat it, ok? Just watch urself internally and make sure u're not "doing the MJ" i.e. backsliding!

Whichever way, it's ur cookout son, bring the out the steak!

BUT on a friendly, I'll loan you some COME-BACK tip....
1. GO on a ChurchTour...move around a bit, see the sights and sounds of different churches, you'll finally get started back on settling in church again.
2. Try starting up some kingdom-building, life-transforming, community-help project on your own that might save souls but most definitely bless lives in the process.
3. Get more into the Word, as you dig around and get fresh illumination from de Spirit, you oughtta feel stirrings and leadings prompting ur need for fellowship.

Think abt it!
Now be a gud boy and go get your Sunday shoes.

hope she sees ur post &gives ur kiss"n"tell ar.se de boot! psycho

“We are the ones who started the push for six months delay in the elections to enable us [to] put in place an interim government which would then enable the party to change its presidential candidate to somebody that is more competitive,” one official confessed. He added that Mr. Jonathan’s faction also sought the extension for their own designs, which was to explore ways of rigging the elections.

President Jonathan on New Year's Day Service Sahara Reporters Media SaharaReporters has learned of a new twist in the desire of some top officials of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for a six-month postponement of polls in Nigeria, with several sources saying a faction of the party would work to replace President Goodluck Jonathan as the party’s presidential candidate.

In separate interviews with SaharaReporters, numerous PDP officials disclosed that many founding members of the party had lost confidence in Mr. Jonathan’s viability as a candidate, adding that a faction within the party had discussed easing the incumbent president out of the presidential race, and replacing him with another candidate from the Niger Delta zone.

“The only obstacle to the plan is that the South-South might kick against it, so we have arrived at a consensus to find another candidate,” one of our sources, a northerner, said.

“If elections could be postponed for six months, we will definitely replace President Jonathan as our candidate,” another member of the faction confirmed.

In a clear sign that the party was crumbling was within, several high ranking PDP members said they regretted letting President Jonathan carry the party’s flag as a presidential candidate in the forthcoming elections. Some of them confessed to being aware that the party’s prospects looked dire with Mr. Jonathan holding the presidential ticket.

“We are the ones who started the push for six months delay in the elections to enable us [to] put in place an interim government which would then enable the party to change its presidential candidate to somebody that is more competitive,” one official confessed. He added that Mr. Jonathan’s faction also sought the extension for their own designs, which was to explore ways of rigging the elections.

Our interviews revealed that many PDP governorship candidates in the north and elsewhere in the country were secretly working against Mr. Jonathan’s re-election or quietly distancing themselves from him.

One party leader revealed that some candidates in the northern area were all but campaigning for Mr. Buhari, the presidential flag bearer of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).

However, some PDP officials told SaharaReporters that, while they hoped that President Jonathan could be sidelined to increase the chances of the party in the upcoming elections, they also wished that the APC would also dump Mr. Buhari as its presidential candidate.

The party officials claimed that key political figures across Nigeria continue to view a Buhari Presidency with mortal fear because of his stubborn personality and his promise to punish the corrupt.

Several of the PDP officials told SaharaReporters that the rift between Mr. Jonathan and a large faction in the party that wants him dumped was reflected in the responses to former President Olusegun Obasanjo who two days ago dramatically announced his resignation from the PDP, publicly tearing his membership card. Two of the officials disclosed that, while Mr. Jonathan’s aides launched direct attacks on Mr. Obasanjo, the officials at the party headquarters in Abuja adopted a more cautious and subdued tone, regretting that the former president had decided to leave the party.

Some officials stated that the party hierarchy viewed Mr. Obasanjo’s public departure from the party as a dangerous signal and as a major threat. “Chief Obasanjo doesn’t just come out swinging the way he has done recently unless he is privy to the existence of some third forces that are against President Jonathan. And to the best of our knowledge, the former president has never fought a battle like this and lost, no matter how long it takes him,” one of the officials said.

“The truth is that many senators, honorable members of the House of Reps and governors are loyal to Baba, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. So they are doing Baba’s bidding even though they are giving Mr. President [Jonathan] the impression that they are with him,” another party official in Abuja said.

The party officials acknowledged that the statements of former President Obasanjo in the last three days had caused a major havoc on the party’s plans to work towards an interim national government.

Several of the PDP officials attributed the fractiousness within the party to the way Mr. Jonathan and his wife, Patience Jonathan, imposed unpopular candidates on the party in various parts of the country. Even though they agreed that Mr. Obasanjo had imposed candidates on the party in the past, one PDP official said the Jonathans consistently backed candidates who were extremely unpopular within the PDP and unelectable.

Asked if President Jonathan was aware of plans to replace him, some of our sources said the president knew that many powerful members of the party were not satisfied with his style and low performance. One source said former Vice President Alex Ekwueme and even the party’s chairman of the board of trustees, Tony Anenih, were far from enthusiastic about Mr. Jonathan’s re-election.

“President Jonathan’s candidature and unpopularity are damaging the party,” one official stated. He added that the party’s electoral prospects in the general elections had dwindled dramatically. “We are only sure of carrying about 11 states in the country, according to our internal polls,” one party official disclosed.

Party officials also said they were determined to change numerous candidates for governorships, the Senate and House of Representatives in several states if the six-month postponement ever became a reality. “The way President Jonathan and First Lady Patience Jonathan picked many candidates has now weakened the party across the country,” one top official in Abuja complained.

@OP
all gud
woulda been better if u posted dis like 2wks ago
at least, that way, it would've kept some "fly-girls" frm getting burnt by the valentine flames

@pamcode
Are you trying to tell me that 2 newlyweds left to their own conjugating for hundreds of years like the first generations (Adam-Noah) could not have come up with various "convenient &more interesting" ways of enjoying their God-given gift of marital union without the need for external media or counsel?

Are you trying to say Songs of Solomon was not skirting the edges of some very deep stuff about marital union? Remember Scriptures says in the end times
"...knowledge shall (be) increased - Dan 12:4

Do you realize that we as God's children are the spiritual Israel? Have you tried studying and seeing how the natural Jews were originally raised and acculturated to their place in this present life? Are you aware that, then, boys were mentored by men and girls by women for their later roles as fathers and mothers in life?
Could it have been beyond them to have taught their kids stuffs that most of confused Christendom are floundering around over now?

How do you explain this:
Songs 8:2 I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
Son 8:3 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
(Songs 1:2) Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
Songs 1:13 A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
(Songs 7:1) How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
(Son 7:2) Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.

Bro, in these peculiar days when just about every major group in organized xtianity are bearing arms on major doctrinal drives and folks are getting good at ascribing and pulling out sturvs from scriptures that it didn't say, I won't be able to accept serious claims decrying some "harmless" forms of se.xual congress from you just because of some "pastor's" visions.

You see everybody at loggerheads, the liberal-emergent church movement throwing open the windows and just about every door embracing anything that looks "convenient" where political correctness is replacing purity. At the other corners, you have the revolutionary revivalist movements regrouping and gaining mastery at "hair-splitting" over every little issue.

The puritans are more cautious, hanging from "their chandeliers" and hiding behind the "exegetical" furniture laid down by the Whites, the Spurgeons, the Bonas, St Augustine etc without any sense of adaptation for today's world while yet single-mindedly praying for rapture etc not minding how few souls they're reaching or how many would stand lost in the event of such happening just about now?

You see all that and your contribution is about se.x styles and i wanna ask you again, dude, "what's on your mind? what have you been feeding your spiritman, eh?"
because, i won't be able to take some1's supposed "ladder-to-heaven" viewpoint as my compass, your viewpoint won't even qualify to be in my rear-view. I'm too word-focused to give in to scaremongering tactics.

The Bible stressed on moderation; so, you know that boundaries ought to be set. Let's start doing that constructively, don't come out here telling us missionary this or that, do you even know some other positions are clinically recommended for guys on the short-end (4.5" & below)? Do you care to know that some positions aid conception faster? And God commanded that we "be fruitful &multiply?".

So, how do you account for the millions of maritally dissatisfied couples you intend to create with this your new "missionary doctrine?".

I agree we have real challenges with not having drawn the necessary lines in xtianity before now. I agree perversions are so on the upscale we don't know how far some pple are gonna push the envelope before the whole works gives. I agree that purity in and out the sheets' now on demand and not every blasted twist of kinkiness will make it through the standards but issues like this need institutional handling and that takes some knowing not some dude on the hill waving a pirate flag!
(2Pe 1:5) And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

Some would even ask you sef say who be that pastor? who are his pastors? which faith movement's part of? what's his pedigree and proofs of calling? Does he really have a sound word basis in the first place or is he one of those who preach folks out of stuff (e.g. TV, gold trinkets etc) only to be found with such some decades afterwards? I won't ask you all that but i'd say come out with some serious word basis backing the vision and there, bros, u have ur blackfriday sellout.
till then, i'd advice u stick to the Word

NB
Aint no Pro on xx issues o
Don't know abt Bleep etc & i don't support extremes (whether na prudishness or lasciviousness ) etc o ;
Aint gotten any distance meself but i got done ingesting stuff just cos they got labelled "God, xtian, church" long ago!

First off, i expected a lot more frm the Word Afficionados of the Religion section in opposing or defending their positions on dis Pastor's claims than this. Instead, most who wld always be manically vocal on other least suspect issues on here chose this auspicious moment in history to cower in d dark, in silence ! Pity !!

Does that mean y'all bro's and sis caint com up wiv som few scripture verses to enlighten the house on these issues, i wonder.

Anyway, like folks would holla End-Time Tinz. Any self-respecting xtian oughtta be pretty wary of majority of this "I-died-and-Rose", "I-died-and-went-to-hell" stories before they sell you some pious-sounding religious hogwash. Remember, God is not duty-bound to support your viewpoints. Your views don't mean nada if they don't line up with the Word. Mrk 12v24; Mrk 7v3-13.

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/faith/article4325800.ece

[How do u explain the crap above? Does it fulfill ur need for the spectacular as a xtian that u have to go lengths to make stuff up or come down raving about whatever misguided illusory "visions" u saw while on a "high"?]

In these days, we see leaders creating entirely new doctrines for their denominations out of misplaced understandings and applications of a few scriptures here and there. Folks cross over from Consecration into Pharisaical Legalism, waving hands, pointing fingers and dividing the Body further while creating casualties along the way e.g. which elders did this man submit his visions to, before coming on-air with this proclamations? what's their qualifications? How did they process it "word-wise" before coming out with it? 1 Cor 14v23-26. We nail social media deviants and rants while doing the same with unfounded alarmist "crinkum-crankums ".

We know that "un-mettered Passion without a Vision is sure recipe for destruction"; so it is very easy to come away with supposed "visions, dreams, revelations" out of the "abundance of the transactions of the soul-realm". Let's say, our dear pastor had been concerned about so much sexual perversions etc around him etc and had been bothered (burdened) about it; if those burdens are not released to the Holy Spirit (who is the Spirit of grace, truth & ministerial empowerment), the pastor will flail around in the flesh (soulical vexations &physical efforts) till he starts seeing stuffs in his night-time encounters.

Don't be surprised that people surely and suddenly experience the "negative-spiritual" in "supernatural encounters" after some intense (systematic or random) preoccupations/forays in those "zones"; BUT that does not necessarily hold true in the Kingdom, why? God cannot and will not be "recipe'd" and boxed for the "fast-foods" mentality of our generation's Christianity (apologies to word-faith guys). Quite a lot of guys who go off actively seeking visions and dreams often encounter lying spirits who give them half-truths to further trouble the body of Christ with. Guys be careful!. Of all the Apostles' revelations, none invaded the bedrooms of folks or dwelt on mundane issues with a microscopic level view-finder!

One of the most dangerous things to handle is the prophetic office/ministry and revelational gifts and it should be done with utmost reverence knowing that you will account for misleading people or warning them aright.

While not castigating the pastor, let's draw the line. There are perversions (Romans 1v20-32; ) and majority of stuffs flowing out there, infact, as per sex, the whole terrains gone to the dogs. What with folks marketing "loving-s&m etc" to church folk quoting 50-shades and they buyin it? We know! But that don't mean some body should dream up stuff and say God said only Missionary should be the way. Even the etymology and importance of the missionary position that "the Lord" was supposed to have expounded to him was wrong! And if he's already ascribing misinformation to the holy ghost, then, that can not be the real Holy Spirit, 3rd Person of the Trinity John 16v12-16 !

NB
Folks saying sex-positions originated from pornography are just being delusional and showing off their ineptitude. Wake up, boys! READ ur histories? What de teachin you in ur naija schools sef? High schul kids here would laugh you into the furniture, haba? ancient studies like the kama-sutra, perfumed garden etc have been around for ages and not all of them were products of decadent minds. some were compiled from decades and centuries of diligent studies. the fact that many of them dabble into the occults etc make them materials indigestible for spiritual toddlers? and some aint just pretty on the long run. How do u master Tantric xx without getting "possessed" somewhere along the line.

Personally, i like balance. woteva ur deal is, get ur mind right and set ur facts straight, don't sell us bull, we know da prices!

And would she have needed to do anything wrong for her to be brutalized and disgracefully dealt with in such a manner?

She might have done no more than any tax paying Nigerian would be expected to do in a given situation where you would have to represent and stand up for your rights.

y'all guys should be happy u don't have gun-possession freedom in Naij; u woulda blast all urselves to pieces in no time.

i dare say, with this stories pervading and other cases we've seen, that many Naij Army junior ranks (privates, recruits, lance corporals etc) were drawn from questionable backgrounds, the dregs and scum of society.

They need continuous re-orientation as well plus trainings on civic and societal integration. there ought to be individual personally administered psych evaluations that test not only IQ, but also emotional quotient, empathy etc aiming at correcting dissociative tendencies, apathy, anti-social/sociopathic tendencies etc.

Without all that, you're jst paying some dic.k headed short-fuse, trigger-happy idiots to run y'all around at whim wheneva ur paths cross. Otherwise, why would a Naija soldier always think he oughtta have his way over contitutional laws, rules and regs all the tyme? why would they fink "civilians" are not capable to being dialogued and must always be beaten black and blue and killed for no just cause? why must they always respond with violence in the face of superior logic? Abi, is it every time they're on duty?? .

Holywizard:
she was beaten by a man. de story is misleading. The motherfucking ashawo sis shared it on twitter so that we could have pity on her low-life dump a$$ sis of hers.

U don kolo sir; infact ur kolo don dey pass tolow-tolow own

@ritababe
wht else are u not telling us? hope ur not one of those slum-type "barrack" babes who would do any thing to defend ur redneck bros and hubbys?

jOS, ah friggin Jos! Can't 4get jos in a hurry? City earned my max respect back in NYSC orientation days when some dude went and dropped moffuggin' DEAD in the camp bathroom!

We couldn't say exactly when he died but he was pronounced DOA at the General hospital they took him to sha, cause of death? Hypothermia, Pneumonia or some cold shyt'e like that...Jos i hail o!

@OP

de way i sees it, child, u aint got no biz preachin any morality to anybody wiv that sassy getup u got on your profile.

you all colored up in shorts showing ur panties like some 2bit hooe wiv guys referring to d same pic and u refuse to take it down like some lost biatccch on-heat and you still fink you can teach morality, gyal, u nid a brain check; d posturing don't fit u at all.

I understand the fact that on average a girl will most likely meet 3pervs for every nice-guy she does in today's world. I do understand also that some of this perv-ish mofos could even hide their true "sickness" behind veneers of niceties, cultured behaviour etc BUT that's the more reason for you to up your game and start learning not only to spot bad dates etc but also to live a life that makes it difficult for those kinda guys to stick around ya. I like your list, not bad but my grouse is wiv yo DP as mosta the guys pointed out. I'd like you to prove them wrong because Shy't don't need no promos before attracting flies, ma, and ur kinda trending now ma!

whether its actually yo pic or not, the fact that u & "bhumlickin'"FriedPlantain (or RottenBananas, more like) ar busy shinin' each others egos on ur decision to kip the pic shows ur a bunch of 2faced, confused, hypocrites just coming out here to foam in de mouth; looks kinda harsh Ma, but d boys are saying it's looking like that right now.

A girl don't wanna end up as fishbait on some guys bed, my take is she follows the God'sBook to the letter, leave little room for emotional strayings until her guy "puts a ring on it" and she gives as good as she get in visionary companionship, kindness etc; i don't believe in prem sex, i've campaigned against it on all fronts but it's a good rule of thumb that u can't be running around all done up like Fish Tacoes and not expect some hungry mouth to snap you up.

If u know u wanna end up as d "Missus" and not some "chyked" statistic:
1. don't do whatcha won't do when ur pastor/Dad's there wiv you
2. avoid creating dark corners in ur life
3. find friends/mentors wth higher moral/spiritual standards and get accountable to them but mosta y'all gals ar greedy, u wanna eat ur cake and have it wth all the toppings intact. Honey, u can't take a walk on the wild side without the risk of you falling off.
4. Treat the guy the way u would want any other girl to treat your brother or the way you would treat your bro. Stop Billing all your life's costs on some guy withhout expecting him to anticipate his Returns On Investment (roi); when ur throat starts itching, tell yourself you're not no hungry biatchhh
5. Enuf wiv the double standards, get an education; dudes are more visually stimulated and motivated than by anyfin else; so stop wiv all the Salma Hayek thigh flashing and tell all your misguided home-gals to zip up their shyt.e up. A wise woman said "the way u dress suggests the way you shld be addressed".
6. The best way to get a guy to treat you right is to wire his brain thinking right of you anytime he remembers you. How do you do that? PROJECT YOUR OPTIMUM VALUE/worth! Except something's off with you physiologically, every guy u meet knows intrinsically that u've got a coochie in ur panties, so, why do u have to flash it @him every five minutes and basically not expect him to want it served up with dessert at the end of the dinner?
I cld go on and on because it's basically d same shy'te goin on in d black community here....drop-out skanks runnin' around living to club off of baby-daddies yet having the nerve to beef black dudes going over to white chicks, its all a mess but don't add to it confusing my naija bros and sis. You wanna talk the talk, git ready to walk your talk!

nice write up though...some list, smh!

Jonathan: we’ve failed
Leke Salaudeen and Precious Igbonwelundu
LINK: http://thenationonlineng.net/new/jonathan-weve-failed/


From President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday came a damning verdict on his generation. We have failed, he said, urging the youth to vote for young people.
Jonathan spoke in Lagos at the opening of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP’s) campaign ahead of next month’s general elections.
He said: “I do not want to address old people like me because we have failed completely. We are spent already.”
An angry and agitated Dr. Jonathan, who was sarcastic in most of his over 30 minutes speech, told the youth that the election was their opportunity to vote for their relevance.
The President addressed insecurity, unemployment and corruption, stating the steps his government had taken in addressing them. He promised that the recommendations of the National Conference will be sent to the Eighth National Assembly for passage — if he is re-elected.
Flaunting his party’s governorship candidates, Jonathan, who said he was addressing Nigerians who will be voting for the first time and young people, boasted that his party had provided the youth an opportunity by fielding young candidates.
Jonathan attacked  past leaders, saying they never bought any equipment for the military.
Jonathan also attacked those who said the militant group, Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), disowned him, adding that he has no business with a group whose leader (Henry Okah) is in a South African prison, for killing many Nigerians.
According to the President, Okah, the mastermind of the October 1, 2010 bomb blast in Abuja, was hired to assassinate him but his mission was uncovered by security agencies. He was not surprised such a group was not supporting him.
Jonathan boosted that it was under his administration that people understood the importance of voter cards, insisting that prior to 2011, elections were never really held as politicians were imposed through rigging and malpractices.
He said he had “directed” the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that irregularities in the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) distribution are corrected so that no eligible Nigerian is disenfranchised.
The President said: “I do not want to address old people like me because we have failed completely. We are spent already.  Listen to what I will say because I am going to address political gatherings in 37 places. Whatever I say, when you go back home, ask your aunts or uncles who are 60 years and above to confirm the things I mentioned.
“This election is about the young people. It is either you vote for the young people to be relevant in this country or you vote for you to be irrelevant. Those of you who are voting for the first time should vote for a Nigerian youth to be important and relevant in this country.
 “We have just introduced our governorship candidates and you can see that many of them are within your age bracket. Which other party will give the youth that opportunity?
“Those who say they want to take over power from PDP have been telling a lot of lies. They have hired people from all over the world.
“Do you want to vote for people who want to take you back to the old days? Nigeria is for the youths. It is not for old people like us.
“They talk about insecurity. That they will fight insecurity and we ask, are our Armed Forces weak? Ask the man telling you who are about 23-year-old that when he was Head of Government, if he bought one rifle for the Nigerian soldier?
“These people did not buy anything for the Nigerian soldiers. Ask them what they did with the defence budget throughout the whole time they were in government; no equipment was bought for the armed forces.
“Nobody equips the Armed Forces overnight. They are built over the years. Even if we spend $10 billion today, it cannot immediately equip the Army, Navy and Air Force because their capacities are built over the years. It takes a period of time.
“They refused to build the capacity, instigated crisis and now they are telling us they will fight insecurity. Ask them these questions and they will answer. I will disclose more as we progress.”
On corruption, which his administration has been criticised for condoning, Jonathan said:
“They say that the government is corrupt and not fighting corruption, but only yesterday (Wednesday) I addressed the corruption agencies (sic) to give Nigerians breakdown of their activities in the past 15 years.
“To fight corruption, you must take measures to establish firm institutions. You don’t just go into the street and arrest somebody and lock him up or show him on television and say you are fighting corruption.
“If they succeeded in fighting corruption in their time, corruption would not have been with us today. If they had put in place structures and embraced modern technologies to manage resources, we would not have been talking about corruption today.
“Why some civil servants did not receive their salaries in December is because of a software that processes salaries and does not allow money meant for salaries to be diverted for something else.
“Sometimes, some ministries and agencies divert funds to pay some kinds of allowances; so, what the system does is to shut down once anyone tries to divert money meant for salaries. That is why those departments of government were shut down and some people could not get their salary. That is how to fight corruption.
“In the past, fertiliser which is an area where the federal and state governments spent billions of Naira, had less than 10 percent of the fertilizer going to the farmers. Sometimes the 10 percent was even adulterated while the money ended up in the pockets of few persons. But today, there is no corruption in the fertilizer industry again.
“We assembled some young Nigerians that have attributes and developed what we call the Electronic Wallet, through which farmers get their fertilisers directly and no one cheats the government anymore. Is that not the way to stop corruption?
“If someone tells you the best way to stop corruption is to arrest your uncle or father and show him on television, it will not stop corruption. It will even encourage corruption. We are shooting armed robbers but armed robbery is still with us. Has that stopped armed robbery?
“We must set up institutions to prevent people from even touching the money and that is what we have been doing and we are succeeding. Since we came to power, Nigerians no longer sleep overnight at fuel stations, while those who hoard fuel benefit.
“Since we came on board, have you had to bribe somebody to get fuel? Have you suffered to get fuel? Is that the kind of country you want to go back to?
“They say the military is corrupt. When this insecurity crisis came up, we had nothing. So, to get weapons very quickly, we used some vendors to purchase, but now, what we do is government to government. Any procurement for the Armed Forces is done at government levels and so, there is nothing like corruption. Is that not the way to fight corruption?
“We are reducing corruption. I will not go further on this because the heads of the agencies will address Nigerians for you to appreciate what we are doing.”
Jonathan defended his administration’s style, saying: “They said the government is weak and has no plan…I came in with Yar’Adua (late Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua) and he advocated for due process. So, I stand by due process. Any country that does not obey the rule of law is a jungle. They said we do not plan and our economy is now the biggest in Africa. Without plan can we achieve it?
“Our trains were not moving for many years but now most of them are moving. Can we achieve that without planning? We have been able to conclude the privatisation of the power sector and our generating capacity is almost doubled. Can you do that without planning?
“The government feels that Nigerians are very dynamic people. Very creative and industrious but most of them do not have money. Having in mind that we are almost 200 million people and we cannot carry everybody at once, we came up with the You-Win concept to give grants to young Nigerians to manufacture things and in the next few years, they will be exporting their products.
“Can you do that without planning? And they say we have no plans for the country. They should come and tell us the plan they have for Nigeria.
“I believe that the young Nigerians, not people like me because we are finished. My generation has failed. We did not take Nigeria to the moon. Look at what countries that we were at par at Independence are doing now? For us to get to the moon, it takes a special candidate.”
On his achievement in the education sector, Jonathan said he created 12 Federal universities – one in each of the states that had non – adding that he built Almajiri schools to give dropouts in the North the opportunity to be educated.
“They say we have no plans but we produced Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF). Other countries have it. It is to enable countries reserve a little of the money that comes into the country so that every income is not squandered.
“In addition to the SWF, there are some stolen money that are returned from time to time. They have been getting these stolen money before and no one knows how they spent the money. The ones that are coming in within this period we have not even started spending.
“We agreed with the states on how to spend it. We agreed that because we have security challenges, 50 percent of the money be channeled to security since the money was primarily for security reasons and were siphoned through security means; 25 percent for development and 25 percent for future generation.
“That is a decision we have taken even before we start spending the money. They should come and tell you what they used our money for…
The government has been widely denounced for not providing jobs for the youth. Jonathan said: “So far, we have created a number of jobs but we are not there yet. I have set up two presidential committees on job creation headed by the Vice President and made up of people in government and those in the private sector. The board is working very hard to ensure that at least two million jobs are created every year.
“Only two days ago, somebody stood in Port Harcourt and said he was going to catch corrupt people and put them in Kirikiri. The same mouth he used to say he was not going to probe anybody. Contradictory statements; can you trust such people? Are they not deceiving you?
“All what they want to use power for is to lock up and imprison their enemies. I do not have any enemy to fight. I have no enemies to fight. My interest is Nigeria’s interest and for young Nigerians to develop. Not to fight enemies.
“We must stop corruption but I will not do that by catching people and putting them in confinement or killing them. I think we have advanced beyond that stage.”
He also spoke on women, saying: “Somebody told Nigerian women he will give them position in his government. Ask him when he was Head of State, how many women were in his cabinet? Not a single one. So, Nigerian women should either cast their votes to go back to the kitchen and remain there or vote to liberate themselves.”
On MEND, he said: “I read in the newspaper that MEND has dumped Jonathan. I am from the Niger Delta, the leader of MEND is one Okah who is in South African prison. South Africa is not Nigeria else people would have said the President influenced it.
“Okah is a South African prison because October 1, 2010, when we were to celebrate our Golden Independence, he was procured by some Nigerians to assassinate me and Okah bombed Abuja. Their plan was to assassinate me but intelligence investigation from South African Intelligence and Nigeria Intelligence systems robbed him in while planning to assassinate me.
“He is now in jail in South Africa and they say ‘MEND dumps Jonathan’. Will Okah that wanted to assassinate Jonathan support Jonathan? And I am told that Okah is supporting some people. I am told that Okah, in a South African prison for killing Nigerians, is supporting some people. Count me out.”
Other leaders of the party and governors spoke at the rally.
Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko has described President Jonathan as the most  criticised, abused and insulted leader in this country.
Mimiko, who is the Southwest Co-ordinator of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Committee said in spite of the unwarranted attacks, “Nigerians across the country can feel the impact of his administration in agriculture, power, education, and resuscitation of rail system.
Chairman, PDP National Campaign Committee, Senator Ahmadu Ali stirred controversy when he said: “PDP is the agent of change. We fought for democracy when others fled the country. We have remained in power for 16 consecutive years stressing that that is the more reason why Nigerians should vote for PDP in February.”
To the Chairman of PDP Governors Forum, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State,  belives Nigeria will be better under Jonathan if re-elected on February 14. His re-election, he said, would enable him consolidate on his achievements.
Akpabio said: “We cannot afford to hand-over power to those who will send us to prison. Jonathan is a democrat, Nigerians should let him continue in office”.
PDP leader in Lagos State, Chief Bode George described next month general elections as a decisive one. He advised Lagosians to vote for PDP at least for a change.
Vice President Namadi Sambo thanked the people of Lagos for hosting the take-off of the party’s national campaign. He thanked the youths for supporting the transformation agenda of Mr President adding that the PDP administration will introduce more poverty alleviation programmes if re-elected.
Senate President David Mark noted that the PDP-controlled Federal Government has impacted positively on the lives of Nigerians through improved power supply, job creation, infrastructure development, and revitalization of the education sector.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of flags to President Jonathan as PDP presidential candidate and all governorship candidates.
Lagos PDP governorship candidate Mr Jimi Agbaje, said they would work for the party’s success at the poll.
It seems the presentation of flags has foreclosed reconciliation or addressing petitions written by aggrieved governorship aspirants in states like Oyo, Ogun, Adamawa, Akwa Ibom and Sokoto.
At the rally were Governors Aliyu Babangida (Niger), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Gabriel Suswam (Benue) Ibrahim Dakwambo (Gombe) and Idris Wada (Kogi). Former governors in attendance include Ali Modu Sheriff (Borno), Mahmoud Shinkafi (Zamfara) and Peter Obi (Anambra).
Others are Senators James Manager and Hosea Agboola’ Hon. Muraina Ajibola, Chief Shuaib Oyedokun, Chief Abiola Ogundokun, Chief Bayo Dayo, Chief Tom Ikimi, former Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro, Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau,  Hajiyya Bola Shagaya and Mrs Olukemi Mimiko.

because, ya can't be too sure what some folks gon' git up to if dem catch you for corner now these days?
The question of self-control shouldn't even arise. By default, whatever makes you human (and not a billygoat) should also make make your unclad Sis a neuter object to your d.ck or mind; the very thot should be painfully disgusting/repulsive to you sef!

i dey fear o...

shush!

som braindead zombie post on steroids, ya no try @ all!!

empty estates ar quite enuf or let's say semi–occupied ones. Diff factors cause it really. some were overpriced right frm da start, som took too long 2 build so now dat da cribs ar ready, dey're going 4 too much etc
Am around again, we gat crib @ Apo Legislative Qtrs, been driving around (seen da new shoprite @lokogoma side, got s decent shaving kit, not bad, thank yer!) but i gotta say dvlpt‘s on d upsurge yet i can still enuf un-let, vacant property lots &blocks all over da place.

apo-ville est, a3 underbridge's as bare as a tick's ar.se; stella obasanjo by frsc est jst barely occupied., enuf sha, maybe i'll make a list, update dis post wen i got time.
off 2bed, my bio-clock still jst adjustn 2dis here time n place.

i wonder hw dis weighs wth folks dissing govt abt d need 2train and rehab captured BH turbanned freaks. As if u cld acgieve da in 10 lifetymes!

blacktech's right!
1. In a porous & divided govt administration as u got in 9aij, with the dubiousness of BH sympathisers even within govt ranks, it might not be easy 4 govt 2kip yapping abt all its covert moves & stil stay onpoint (&winning) in its fight against terror.
2. SA definitely has a bone 2pick wiv 9aij; else, why wld dey make it such a big media issue ahead of consultn d usual diplomatic channels esp after sighting d EUL issued by d NSA. U dnt get EUL's like dat except frm d SSS, IG etc (e.g. we did, a few yrs back, jst 2bring in small stuff like full-body scanners, ppe, ied detectors, wave jammers etc). One for a direct deally frm top govt like NSA & i woulda been doing stuff sipping tequilas on some warm beach right now. So, dat level of documentation, offices concerned shoulda earned 9aij som serious level of diplomatic courtesies as we nid all d help wt d war against terror right now; and not som hate-mongering diplomatic fencing wt d same "Southies" our parents held solidarity marches 2bring outta apartheid jst a few decades back!
On a lighter note, na dis kinda news dey get my palm itchy, be needing 2make a few calls 2 awon uncles, mofos & goons mi...., Abeg, nor be only TAN go chop dis season. N'land, c ya in a few, bye!!!

Experimental Ebola Drug ZMapp Made Available for Priest in Spain



Expermental Ebola drug ZMapp has been made available to Spanish medical authorities, who retrieved the medicine from Geneva for use in the treatment of a priest stricken with Ebola who was airlifted to Spain for medical care.

News stories are reporting that permission to make the dose available was given by the manufacturer MAPP pharmaceuticals. The medical aid organization MSF (Doctors Without Borders) helped in the transaction.

Press reports last week claimed that Nigerian officials had asked about the availability of the drug and were told that no doses were available for use in West African patients.
