DeepZone:
Danjuma is better immune to say such a thing than Soludo because he's a southerner. It's like the Don Imus story, do you think black people would've made so much fuss about it if Don is black?

I think you meant Northerner.

Yes, I get your point, but I don't think telling Northerners they are poorer than southerners and their elites need to do something
about it would get them offended. I really don't think it's offensive.

It's not like it was disrespectful or anything like that.

Even Gen. Danjuma has made similar statements in the past. Soludo is just re-echoing well known facts.

HCH3COO:
Thank you for finally saying what was on my mind .

You are very welcome !

What deepzone fails to realize is that the US environment makes it really difficult to instill the values and discipline
yorubas (and even others) are noted for.

When you are raising a kid in an environment where most kids talk back to adults and are very unruly because they know you
can't touch them, chances are your kids are likely to follow suit regardless the culture/value/discipline of the kids'
native parents. So, we should leave yoruba out of this abeg.

@deepzone

The issues you have raised are not unique to yoruba kids in the U.S., it applies to all U.S. kids

Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has said all african heads of states cannot possibly stash stolen monies
abroad without the connivance of the foreign authorities.

---- and I believe she is absolutely right !

no

do you watch any sitcoms ?

HCH3COO:
! It's so pathetic how bigoted you are.

lol. His likes are all over the forum

How are we so sure it's just a constitutional error. Reports aren't always the most accurate measure of truth. na so them go take style chop money.

It is a constitutional error because the federal govt cannot award contracts on the local governments' behalf.

The federal govt cannot award a contract and then start deducting local govt's funds to pay for it. If the
federal govt awards a contract, it has to fund it itself.

I think this is pretty straight forward sha

Ibime:
$20m is nothing. I am just glad it is not $5bn like Baba Iyabo. Do we realistically expect our leaders not to steal anything when they need money to protect themselves after they finish their term? Yar'Adua came in by electoral thuggery so do we expect bad fruit to produce good seed?

What is this one talking about ? What $5bn are you associating with Baba Iyabo ?

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has accused former Plateau State Governor, Chief Michael Botmang of stealing N1.5billion of the state money within five months, while in office.

Botmang who was the Deputy Governor to the former Governor Joshua Dariye became the acting governor following the impeachment of Dariye in December 2006.

The commission subsequently arraigned him on Friday before a Federal High Court in Abuja, with Justice Anuri Chikere, putting him on house restriction because of his failing health.

He was driven into the court premises in a Peugeot Expert with Nasarawa State registration number AA 698 NBB at about 9: 42 am.

The 31-count charge against him for misappropriation of funds to the tune of N1.5 billion belonging to the Plateau State government when the accused was the acting governor of the state, was read to him, but he pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Counsel to the accused, M.Y. Saleh (SAN), after the charges were read, tendered oral application for bail because of what he described as “exceptional circumstances” resulting from the failing health of the accused.

He told the court that the accused was diagnosed of five ailment-diabetes, hypertension, gont, chronic kidney problem and has been placed on dialysis twice a week.

EFCC’s counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, however, did not object to the bail application, saying they were aware of his health condition.

But the judge, Justice Anuri, however, insisted that the right procedure be followed, saying, “I don’t grant bail on oral application.”

Because of the health condition of the accused, the court in its wisdom, confined him to his house at Zawan Village , Jos South Local Government Council, Plateau State.

Dime:
Please i need your opinion

I met a man that loves me and i feel the same way too. He impregnated me and now i have a beautiful daughter. But he is not here with me. All through my pregnancy he was not here though it wasn't by choice his visa didn't go through. We speak everyday though and we had an introduction which i didn't attend because of the distance and because i couldn't travel due to the fact that i was heavy.

Am going to be 23 very soon and i love being a mother and all but i am scared about a lot of things. Will it work out, Will i go back to my old ways which is partying and being out there all the time, in short i wonder if me being good will pay off in the long run. And is it okay for me to still want to look hot like wearing nice shorts or minis and looking sexy sha.

Just advice me please!

Hi Dime,

Please don't be scared. All would be well with you in the name of Jesus.

Let me try and weigh in on your situation.

1. Now that you are a mother, there is definitely going to be some change in how you dress and generally carry yourself. Like someone
else has mentioned, you are now a role model to your daughter and would need to act as such.

You have to make your best judgment as to what constitutes classy and not trashy. As women, we should all look sexy, beautiful
and decent; I don't subscribe to those that believe that a mother or wife should be overly conservative in her dressing.

Take a look around mothers that you know and say to yourself: I would like to dress like that OR No, that is way too trashy for me.

Eventually, you'll have to decide what style of dressing best suits you.

But I want you to remember this, the way you dress should reflect (at least to some degree) that you are now a mother. How you
want to interpret this is totally up to you.

2. You are going to need the support of your daughter's father. Your daughter needs to have her father in her life both emotionally and
from a financial stand point. If the two of you really love each other, then you should consider tying the knot and having your own family.

3. Both you and your baby's father need to have stable careers in order to raise this child. I don't know how far you (& your baby's dad)
went as far as your education, but you have to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible.

4. Finally, there is no doubt that the absence of your baby's dad is a big chunk of the reasons for you being scared. His presence would
be more assuring; at least he could be supporting you emotionally and stuff.

Is the guy educated ? Does he have a good head on his shoulder ? Would he make a good father/husband ? Perhaps you could
have someone back home keep an eye out on him.

If indeed he is a good and worthy fellow, then you should consider tying the knot and you guys should have your own family
in Canada. God bless.

I guess the private sector can help build one for us (giving back to the community)

I agree with sistawoman; I think the guys were passing out their numbers because they have a low opinion of some AA women.

Many of the men are possibly under the impression that Nalijah is just having fun with the Nigerian dude; it's just a fling, not
a long term relationship that could lead to marriage.

But what the guys did is not necessarily unique to Nigerian men; "toasting" another man's woman is practiced the
world over (just to keep things in perspective)

There is the Millennium park - abuja. It's probably the best in the country

even when American's go to other countries, they say they are Canadians when asked

Nairaland people never seize to amaze me. Which Americans say they are Canadians when they
go to other countries

vigasimple:
This appointment simply confirmed that Yar A'dull is a follower and not a LEADER.

His IGP and AGF essentially convinced him Yar A'dull by their crooked means to remove RIBADU becase they feared that he might come after them or their protege. If we can all recall that Mike Aoodoka, the AGF is the former attorney for IBORI so you now know whose brief he is still holding.

Also i am not sure the senate knows what they are doing either. RIBADU has not been formally removed with any of the reasons within the provision of the constititution. That say's much for our President yar A'dull and his rule of law due process nonesense. he can't even follow simply due process of the constitution.

Most importantly, why sending the guy to school under pretence. Is it that they are trying to get rid of him as we all susupected all along.

vigasimple:
I think Yar A'dull should come out and tell Nigerians if RIBADU has done something wrong.

Ribadu's wrong doing was having the audacity to go after James Ibori, who bankrolled Yar'Adull's presidential
campaign. Ribadu also had the audacity to interrogate IBB's son regarding Globacom's shares. When you are
on Ibori and IBB's bad side, you are automatically on Yar'Adull's bad side.

vigasimple:
Say hello to Mr Clueless President yar A'dull. he will even do worse than his big boss OBJ

I regrettably second that motion.
