We must respect the office of the President of the largest economy, and the most populous country in Africa. PMB rose to the rank of a general when most of you were not born. He is our president accord him that respect. You only make foools of yourself and your country by calling our amiable commander in chief a dullard. Nairalanders this must stop!

Still better than your homestate.
I see earth moving equipments on the site .maclatunji:


Hahaahahah, be objective. I know that many Lagos Island roads are under construction but there has to be better project management to avoid this ugly pictures that do the people and tbe government no good.

What makes you think OP is from outside Lagos?

There is no perfect person, system or government. Governor Fashola should step-up his hustle on these projects.

Budget 101

There is a difference between

1 i have N5000 in the bank to buy a wrist watch (Qatar)


2 I was hoping to be able to raise N5000 (from taxes )in the next year , to buy a watch. but my roof ha started leaking today. I will try to raise the money next year.

3 I am hoping to raise N5000 for my saving account ( do nothing)


Apart from number one who has endless supply of money , you are assuming from the theory of the expectation that everything goes on smoothly on a project.
E.g There is hardly a project in Lagos which does not go through litigation. People are always suing the government for the most mundane of things.
Ebola was not budgetted for . The Lagos state government took on the responsibilities of the absent federal government.
Do you know that the Lagos metro project is being held back by Jonathan's government envious politics and bad belle .the metro has to go through a corridor held by the federal government (not owned ,all lands in Lagos are on lease )

Reality is a b*t*ch . Project management,PMP and prince 2 theory stops at the doors of reality . No project get done without money.
When funds are limited or when the hope of project being funded has a small window of opportunity, your theory goes out of the window.
Lagos is a poor state single handedly carrying the weight of a country.houses are being built and Streets are being created faster than the state can afford to pave old streets or repair damaged roads.

Finally ,There are those who genuinely want to draw the attention of the SG to their neighbourhood. There are also those who want to introduce that regressive type of governance and politics . Their job is that being down the best amongst us like they did to Awolowo.

Food for thought
You only need to visit the group Facebook pages of the person who put up post like this . Just 2 out of every 10 post is made by someone can be considered as making a measured or critical opinion .whether for or against, you've to respect the opinions of such people.
The irony was that most of the post against APC were made by persons who reside but are not from those states.
Their states are too good and transformational for them to stay.
Hmm , you wonder why?
No concept of government or governance . That is why.
Why should you listen to such people.
You have 2 choices if you are still sitting on the fence. Your culture , values and future or a street no one has heard of.
Mobilise to extricate ourselves from that cesspit. Time to end monkey dey work baboon dey chop country.

In 6 months in a bad economy .
This is what was declared , most of it has probably gone undeclared

Value Added Tax :N407.95bn,
Company Income Tax of N422.63bn
Customs & Excise Duties of N257.91bn

Most of this is coming out of Lagos , ogun and Ibadan . Like someone wrote ,Even after compensating for loss of population. That is more money being taken out of Lagos than any state contributes.
True federalism and resource control will change that.

for any state govt failure blame Jonathan....Nigerians and their way of thinking

Having an account wit a particular bank does not equate their machine being the best..like I said before Keystone remains the best

Keystone Bank

NnamdiN: Agreed. Very Valid points. Had Ngige Contested on pdp's platform or any other useless party (they are all useless including APC ) I think he might have won. APC winning Anambra would have spelled doom for GEJ's re-election ambition so they did what they had to do. It's politics afterall, Ngige is still my man, but for the greater good (GEJ's re-election ) let him relax or move to another party. A lot of igbos condemned his party, I knew he wasn't gonna make it.

And the man go old wella in 8yrs time chai! Take heart uncle Ngige inugo? Someday, Anambra would get to the promised Land.

well spoken my bro how I wish other Ngige E-warriors will understand and move on.

The factors against Ngige
on november 18, 2013 at 1:51 am in politics
Dr. Chris Ngige proved to be the cat with many
lives when as governor of the state between 2003
and 2006 he fought within the PDP against the
establishment as dictated by former President
Olusegun Obasanjo.
As governor, Ngige was humiliated and hounded
out of the PDP, but there was no other party that
took him in and he remained like a political
orphan until he was finally removed from office
by the courts in March 2006.
Though Ngige came into the contest with the
perception of a strong presence on the ground,
he was, however, to be underemined by serious
factors, some of his making and some external to
him.
The Platform
It is claimed that if Ngige had used any other
platform apart from APC, he would have put in a
more challenging battle in the election. APC in
the opinion of some Ibos is a Yoruba cum Hausa
party with a culture that is alien to Ndigbo.
Dr Chris Ngige
It was thus no surprise that in the run up to the
election that some APGA partisans went on
internet blogs to paint the APC as a Muslim party
with many giving a breakdown of senior officials
of the party all being Muslims.
Many Igbo irredentists were also quick to recall
that the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe after winning
election in the Southwest in colonial Nigeria was
denied opportunity of service and wondered why
a “Yoruba” party should be so honoured on
Azikiwe’s birthday which incidentally was
November 16.
Personality
The APC candidate was despite his fame as a
grassroots man is known to have fallen out with
many opinion leaders in the state. The candidate
is described by some to be cantankerous
especially to the elites many of whom ganged up
against him.
His Friends
The friends that came to help Ngige may not have
in the end not have helped him. Prominent
among them are Governor Rauf Aregbesola of
OsunState and Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
Governor Aregbesola has recently won to himself
the label of a Muslim fundamentalist through his
ongoing policy of school reclassification upon
which has inflamed the Christian community in
that state.
Mallam El-Rufai, the former minister of the
FederalCapitalTerritory who is now a chieftain of
the APC was in AnambraState to lend support to
the APC candidate. But his presence would only
have inflamed the emotion of many Igbos when
it is recalled that Ndigbo were the worst losers
from El-Rufai’s demolition policy as Minister of
FCT.
Anambra Geopolitical Balance
The outgoing governor, Mr. Peter Obi is from
Anambra Central senatorial zone, the same zone
where Senator Ngige comes from. When Obi
came to power in 2006, Anambra Central through
Ngige had spent three years in office as governor.
Hence it was considered in some quarters in
Anambra that with a combined span of 11 years,
that it would be illogical to allow Anambra
Central to again retain the governorship and
hence the momentum for Anambra North where
the winner, Obiano comes from.
What Anambra 2013 means for PDP, others in
2015
The quick endorsement of the outcome of a
victory for the All Progressives Grand Alliance,
APGA by senior officials of the PDP even before
the election result was declared underpinned one
fact: The PDP as a party is willing to concede the
victory when the small pies are in contention.
By conceding victory to APGA, the PDP it is
argued, would be preparing itself to defray
suggestions of rigging in 2015 when the party
seeks to retain its flag in the presidential villa.
Before Anambra, the PDP had proved itself as a
party willing to concede victory to opposition
elements in states including Ondo where it came
second to Labour Party, and before then in Edo
State where the then Action Congress of Nigeria,
ACN prevailed.
“If the PDP through the instrumentality of the
same process has conceded victory to opposition
parties, why should anyone doubt when the same
process throws up the PDP as the winner of the
2015 presidential election,” one political
commentator observed yesterday.
The seeming determination of the PDP to
acknowledge the APGA victory was also a
reflection of the PDP to deflate whatever plans
the opposition APC had made to use the Anambra
election as its entry point into the Southeast in
the prelude to the 2015 presidential election.
The APC had envisaged that the Anambra polls
would be a stepping step for the party to enter
into the Southeast, a region where the party’s
presence is relatively seen as not too widespread.

Religion Versus Common Sense By Theresa Omoronyia


I sometimes wonder if religion somehow affects the ability of people to reason. There are lots of papers on the internet that seem to agree that it does.  And looking at the way some religious people behave in Nigeria, it is enough confirmation that sometimes religion affects their common sense. A typical example is the case of the ChildNotBride issue. Isn’t it absolutely mind-boggling that with all the health, economic and societal problems that this practice causes, some people still staunchly defend it on the basis of religion? But Senator Yerima isn’t the only one who has used Holy Scriptures to justify wrong doing. History is full of examples of men and women who have done just that, from Islamic jihads against ‘infidels’, to the Christian Crusades against Jews and Muslims, genocides, slavery, racism, etc. While many of us will condemn what our ancestors and even religion did many years ago, somehow we unconsciously repeat similar acts today.

I remember the first time I earned a decent wage. Out of appreciation for God’s goodness and as my religious duty, I took out my tithe first. As some of you know, a tithe is one-tenth of your net income and is actively encouraged in many churches. So I took out that amount first and then began to organize my budget for that month. After sorting out my bills, I was left with very little money for my family. As the eldest child in my family, it was my responsibility at that time, to take care of my younger ones especially since my single parent mom could not handle everything herself.  The money left for them was far less than my tithe. I was confused on what to do. Should I give less than one-tenth of my money as tithe so I can help my family better, would this not be a sin? Or should I stick to the law of tithing and let my family suffer?

When my atheist roommate innocently asked what I was going to do with my first salary, and I told him, he was aghast! He berated me for even thinking of starving my family all because I wanted to fulfil a religious law. After trying very hard to make me see reason without any success, he cried out in frustration “you religious people are nuts! So you think your God will prefer you to starve your family just because He wants you to keep His law?”  That did the trick. I knew my roommate was right, I gave less tithes and increased my family’s allowances.

It may have been an atheist asking the question, but somehow I feel God sometimes asks similar questions, such as:

“Do you think by oppressing someone and denying them their rights, you are fulfilling my law?”
“Do you think that by killing ‘infidels’ with the sword and with hateful speech, you are making me happy?”
“Do you think that by ignoring your hungry neighbour and giving your tithes to an already wealthy church, you are making me happy?”
“Do you think that by keeping quiet in the face of injustice, yet attend church/mosque daily, you are making me happy”

Like me, I think many people get confused about keeping religious laws and the way they should treat people. These laws are meant to aid us in our relationships with others not destroy them. The New Testament is full of examples of occasions when Jesus broke the law to help others. He placed the welfare of people far above religious laws. He often criticized the Pharisees, the teachers of the law, who often oppressed people in the name of the Law. In fact He told them at one time that the summary of all the religious laws was to love God and to love our neighbours as ourselves. Neighbour being a term to refer to anyone and everyone.

Do you know why God values people and wants us to even ‘break’ His law for the good of others? It’s because each person, from the richest to the poorest, is God’s precious child. I’ll give you an example. Suppose a mother tells her gate man not to open the gate for her wayward only son when he comes home late at night, in order to teach him a lesson. Now this son returns on a particular night at a very late hour, and unlike before, his knocks on the gate are more frantic and he is panic-stricken. He begs the gate man saying there are armed men who are chasing him and will kill him if they catch him. What should the gate man do, obey Madam’s instruction and allow the boy to be killed, or break Madam’s law, and save the young man’s life?

You will agree with me that the Madam would want the gate man to break her law to save her only son’s life. I don’t think she will be happy to discover her son’s dead body the next day, simply because the gate man wanted to obey her law. That is the same way God wants us to behave. Yes religious laws are made to guide and teach, but they should not be used as an excuse to oppress others or ignore the needs of the less privileged. Remember if you help even the least person, by ‘breaking’ a religious law, you are helping God’s beloved child. On the Judgement Day, I don’t think God will ask you how many laws you kept but He will ask

“I was hungry, did you feed me? I was thirsty, naked, in need,…etc, did you help me?” Matthew 25:31-46

JAKARTA (AFP) – A Nigerian woman tearfully
prayed and recited Koranic verses as she won a
beauty pageant exclusively for Muslim women in
the Indonesian capital Wednesday, a riposte to
the Miss World contest that has sparked hardline
anger.
The 20 finalists, who were all required to wear
headscarves, put on a glittering show for the final
of Muslimah World, strolling up and down a
catwalk in elaborately embroidered dresses and
stilettos.
INDONESIA, JAKARTA : The newly crowned the
Muslimah World 2013 Obabiyi Aishah Ajibola (C)
of Nigeria speaks to audience during the
Muslimah World competition in Jakarta on
September 18, 2013. The finale of a beauty
pageant exclusively for Muslim women was set
to take place in the Indonesian capital on
September 18, in a riposte to the Miss World
contest in Bali that has drawn fierce opposition
from Islamic radicals. AFP PHOTO
But the contestants from six countries were
covered from head to foot, and as well as beauty
they were judged on how well they recited
Koranic verses and their views on Islam in the
modern world.
After a show in front of an audience of mainly
religious scholars and devout Muslims, a panel of
judges picked Obabiyi Aishah Ajibola from
Nigeria as the winner.
While the event in a Jakarta shopping mall paled
in comparison to Miss World on the resort island
of Bali, in which scores of contestants are
competing, Ajibola was nevertheless
overwhelmed.
Upon hearing her name, the 21-year-old knelt
down and prayed, then wept as she recited a
Koranic verse.
She said it was “thanks to almighty Allah” that
she had won the contest. She received 25 million
rupiah ($2,200) and trips to Mecca and India as
prizes.
Ajibola told AFP before the final that the event
“was not really about competition”.
“We’re just trying to show the world that Islam is
beautiful,” she said.
Organisers said the pageant challenged the idea
of beauty put forward by the British-run Miss
World pageant, and also showed that opposition
to the event could be expressed non-violently.
Eka Shanti, who founded the pageant three years
ago after losing her job as a TV news anchor for
refusing to remove her headscarf, bills the
contest as “Islam’s answer to Miss World”.
“This year we deliberately held our event just
before the Miss World final to show that there
are alternative role models for Muslim women,”
she told AFP.
“But it’s about more than Miss World. Muslim
women are increasingly working in the
entertainment industry in a sexually explicit way,
and they become role models, which is a
concern.”
Hosted by Dewi Sandra, an Indonesian actress
and pop star who recently hung up her racy
dresses for a headscarf, the pageant featured
both Muslim and pop music performances,
including one about modesty, a trait the judges
sought in the winner.
The pageant, which also featured bright
Indonesian Islamic designer wear, is a starkly
different way of protesting Miss World than the
approach taken by Islamic radicals.
Snowballing protest movement
Thousands have taken to the streets in Indonesia
in recent weeks to protest Miss World,
denouncing the contest as “pornography” and
burning effigies of the organisers.
Despite a pledge by Miss World organisers to
drop the famous bikini round, radical anger was
not appeased and the protest movement
snowballed.
The government eventually bowed to pressure
and ordered the whole pageant be moved to the
Hindu-majority island of Bali, where it opened on
September 8.
Later rounds and the September 28 final were to
be held in and around Jakarta, where there is
considerable hardline influence.
But there are still fears that extremists may
target the event — the US, British and Australian
embassies in Jakarta have warned their nationals
in recent days of the potential for radical attacks.
More than 500 contestants competed in online
rounds to get to the Muslimah World final in
Indonesia, one of which involved the contenders
comparing stories of how they came to wear the
headscarf.
The contest was first held in 2011 under a
different name and was only open to
Indonesians, Shanti said, but after the media
began comparing it to Miss World, it was
rebranded as a Muslim alternative to the world-
famous pageant.
Because of its popularity, organisers accepted
foreign contestants this year for the first time,
with Iran, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Nigeria
and Indonesia represented.

Blackface reacts to Tuface’s alledged wedding
invitation
on september 17, 2013 at 11:03 am in music
Against the backdrop of the recent interview
where 2face alleged he had invited Blackface to
his wedding,Blackface has reacted in an
interview with Abuja based radio station Hotfm
stating that 2face keeps avoiding him for reasons
best known to him.
He says he’s been trying to get across to 2face to
talk about his song African queen that has been
sang by a Jamaican artist in the US without the
right to do so…’ if someone sings that song it
means someone gave out the right ’he keeps
avoiding me cos he doesn’t want to talk about
these issues.
Blackface, Tuface
For the wedding ‘he would have put the blame on
his management and called me or something’ but
till today since he returned from his wedding in
Dubai, he hasn’t called me, my uncle whose house
we stayed throughout the days of our musical
career passed away during the time of his
traditional marriage, then the white wedding he
never called to even ask about my uncle or to
sympathize with me, so there must be something
wrong somewhere …it must be about the music
money.
In any case Blackface has a new single titled ‘see
you move’ enjoying airplay on some radio
stations across the country.

Good morning pals,
Just passing by on my way to the office, I saw some group of poeple numbering up to 20 singing solidarity Song in front of NAFDAC HQ wuse, I wonder if it is connected to the latest strike by health worker..can someone pls confirm as am already late for work and can't stop to ask.

From the comments am reading here, the future is not really bright How can someone pretend that deporting certain people cos they came from one ethnic group is a thing to be appLauded..what OUK said is the gosple truth the constitution embodied the term freedom of movement in any section of the country in as much as u did not commit any crime in which case the court can settle it and not being baggaged back to ur village..what Fashola did is constitutionally Wrong and should not be encouraged because this may go a long way in setting a precedence that other state Governors will imbibe #myOpinion#
