Celebrities / Re: Budget: Olamide Blasts The Nigerian Government by topbollz(m): 7:27pm On Jun 27, 2018
I am so really pissed with Naija and its tribalistic strata... tongue Abeg na who join us together sef...

Do we really want the progress of this country or we are just there to hail when our pockets are being lined even when things ain't going the right way.

We have got none that is truly patriotic among our leaders. We play politics to the detriment of progress.

Yes we package Unity and Faith - Peace and Progress for our quote of arms. Yet we are not United neither do we have faith in this country and we want Peace! and Progress! Naaah! Day Dream...

From Obasanjo to Yaa dua to Jonathan and now Buhari its been a drag and None has given us what matters.
Oh what will save this nation!

The truth is there is more to what we see and hear. I really dont know why we trade blames. Was GEJ better? Is Buhari even a choice?



Where are those that are truly for Naija?
Where is that President that wants the progress of The whole Nation, North, South, East, West and the Middle Belt.

Until we find true Nigerians that are willing to serve build the Nation na so we go dey oO.

Jumping from fry pan to fire. God help my country I really love this country I pray I see it truly grow to takes it place among the great Nations of the World.

Please don't tell me sowore abeg you need to Google a video of him listening with and absent mind to a youth like himself. Perhaps to him twas another blabbing you we need a strategist that won't end up being a thin god like Tinubu. Take it our live it he is a Master strategist but too greedy. (My Opinion though from is campaign back in the 1998)

The App that burns data most is YouTube because its video and O can't remember the last time I visited. The CSP kept on Repeating that it must be an application that used the data in 20mins how do you explain that. Fraud, fraud, fraud everywhere. How do you explain data purchase of 3700 in less than 5hrs and you bearly used it for anything. Every news about the country is just frustrating and now to do your work with data na wahala.

Zither:
Many months ago, I discovered that MTN 1 month data sub was no longer enough to browse through nairaland or make few searches on google to last 1 week even though I tried never to download anything exceeding 6mb just to be sure where the problem laid. Alas, download or not, 1 month data sub was no longer enough to open google page (exaggerating but that's the picture). I knew it was a foul play from the end of MTN.

I quit data subscription on MTN. It was the best decision ever.

What's wrong with posthumous awards the Senators are just something else. Real issues they don't discuss I doubt if we have any among them that has successfully passed 10 bills as an indiviual since they joined the senate all they do is shout and complain about other arms of the government. Laws they are meant to put in place for the betterment of the economy they will never effect.

They play politics with everything no seriousness, no vision, no goals (Except to be a Senator anyways), no drive to leave good legacies you don't even remember them after their tenure, zero impact in the lives of the masses except to impoverish the economy and this has been the shame since 1999.

If you read your bible v.well, you will know that Jesus christn condemn the pharisees for bragging about serving God, so most of you are hypocrites....if you pay tithe, you shouldnt announce it, its not our business, you just want to exalt yourself and make people think you are better than non tithe payer but you are only wasting your time paying tithe, cos God dislikes pride

So what do you think is the solution to Lagos waste crisis?

Every project that is in place and not properly monitored as per implementation would end up failing. Set up the system where PSP, Government or Partnership. Monitor it effectively, back it up with functional laws and see if waste will not be a thing of the past.

If it was not this serious in the past. What was it that past government did and this one is missing.

God has used Pastor Adeboye to grow his kingdom from about 70 churches to thousand...

Which kingdom? most of you people are just church goers...you can be deceiving yourself.
keep on paying your 10% it is not our business...
There are a lot of non-christian and are prospering so you can shove your beliefs down your throat



That confirm the Wheat and Tares parable Matthew 13:24-30 New King James Version (NKJV)

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares. Its not for anyone to judge them as in the act of going to Church is a step towards eventually getting saved.

How would they be saved if they never heard or have a encounter.

Leave Church goers it add nothing or removes nothing from anyone. He that has no sin cast the first stone.

Going to church is no deceit. It can't be compared to worshipping man made gods.

You are allowed to prosper here. But better to prosper here and in heaven and I can't afford to miss or trade that for anything.
Religion / Re: Who Really Benefits From Nigeria's 'prosperity Gospel'? (BBC News) by topbollz(m): 9:09am On Apr 19, 2018
It is not compulsory you pay tithe. Neither is it compulsory to worship God. It is also not compulsory you give. But if you are a Christian live as one If fact how are you advancing the kingdom of God. How?

Abraham was neither forced to pay tithe but he was wise in his deeds. He would not plant and go again to dig the ground to see if the seed his growing. He never gave tithe to go and ask what Melchizedek did with it. He gave and focused on God whom he served who is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him.

Your tithe is not what made Adeboye rich. Those that are giving to appreciate him know why and would not question him, neither would they stop.


It should not be your headache in anyway what he tells his children. Fast for 100 days and those that did saw the results those that never did saw that too.

Its only those that have the understanding of Give and itvwill come back to you good measure pressed down shakened together and running over that do. Tithe is 10% and yet you are into analysis.

If God has revealed to you not to pay tithe who am I to stop you are any other.

Did Malachi 3:1-15 drop from Space of course not. With emphasis on 14 & 15 one needs to be more careful.

Come to think of it if you are asked to follow the Acts of the Apostles you would have brought down the heavens.

The time of Grace means you should sell all and give to the men of God. Acts 4:32-37 that is conscience. You can't afford to see any poor. If we are to follow it accordingly or literally. A lot don't pay yet the church is Marching on. A lot pay or give because they saw the respect people give to those that gave. Their reward there too in Acts 5:1-11

My Opinion is simple 10% is too small for me to be ranting about for what God has done for me and my family. God has used Pastor Adeboye to grow his kingdom from about 70 churches to thousands. Why won't he be blessed you think it a joke to pray and fast and lead just 5 people, something must be working for him and that I convet too. I trust Him for more and by his grace he will do above every thing I ask for. Nothing comes for nothing you have to pay a price. Salvation is free but yet the kingdom of God suffereth violence and only the violent take it by force. I see tithe as tapping into Gods greatness as in the Hebrews 7 you gave verse 4. Then read 4-7. If Christ is a priest according to order of Melchizedek verse 17 isn't it wise I emulate Abraham and give him my 10th. So that I can get blessed according to verse 6&7. Bro pay your tithe.

Do your best and let God see your service is in spirit and in truth. You can also read 1 Corinth. 9:8-15.

The Bible is an inspiration and that inspiration has not stopped reason why you might get confused if you do it without Gods guidance. The Pharisees that read it literally were chastised by Jesus.

Worse of James 4:17 says: James 4:17 New International Version (NIV)

17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. And no sinner shall go to heaven.

You have no idea the lives these men of God are imparting financially, spiritually and in welfare.

Scholarships, Pastors Salary, Mission Field, Welfare for less privilege members many of who come for it and run away when they get it. Endowment for Universities, free feeding at some quarters, free schools for less privileges. You can count on and on

Reason why you need to do your homework before listening to myopic views of nay sayers who would not do and will not allow those that are doing be in peace.

It is not must thing. Search the scripture my sister. Work of God must continue to grow. Church of Christ can encourage people to give unto the Lord and needy bountifully. Pastors should not preach half truth to congregation by cajoling or scare them into what Lord is not compulsory for us.

Note: God is not in support of cathedrals or mega churches that we are pursing today, God is interested in the number of souls saved to His kingdom.

If one has been a Christ for years and still need encouragement in giving and tithing there is something wrong somewhere. We should not allow happening around us to jeopardize the great benefit that awaits and is accrued to us as a result of being faithful.

Please Read 2 Chronicles 20:20. Gods word will never change to suit us.

Study the below for more understanding on tithe

Deut 14: 22- 27, This is how God Almighty wants us to spend the tithe, if the new millennium ( modern day) pastors would be bent on us to pay tithe or go to hell.
After you, might have read the above bible passages, then read the popular Malachi 3:10
If you are to bring tithe to house of the Lord, you are the one to determine how to spend the tithe according to words of God Almighty by using it to buy things to eat in the house of the Lord and in his presence. God Almighty then advised his people to remember sons of Levite when they are eating their tithe.

God didn't demand for money!
Even if you bring your tithe from a far place, you can change it to money but by the time to get to presence of God Almighty, your must use the money (tithe) to buy food and wine and you and your family members should eat it in the presence of Lord but remember to share out of your tithe to priests (who are sons of Levite), orphans and those who don't have. This is God's command.

My brother, then read Hebrew 7: 1- 28 for better understanding for the eradication of tithe by Apostle of Christ. Read Hebrew 7: 12 very well

Jesus Christ death ended the requirement of the law. Rom 10:4

Don't allow yourself to be deluded. Heb 7:8-12

8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law

The law has been set aside (Heb 7:18), included in the law is its requirement that you pay tithe. It was a sin not to do so, but the law has been changed after Christ paid with his blood and set the law aside. No true christian is under the law. When Christ was alive and the law was then effective. Christ's death ended it.

It is not compulsory you pay tithe. Neither is it compulsory to worship God. It is also not compulsory you give. But if you are a Christian how are you advancing the kingdom of God. How!

Abraham was neither forced to pay tithe but he was wise in his deeds. He would not plant and go again to dig the ground to see if the seed his growing. He never gave tithe to go and ask what Melchizedek did with it. He gave and focused on God whom he served who is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him.

Why say you are a Christian when you don't believe the Bible. When it comes to Psalm you want to read it for yourself and your enemy, but when it comes to doing especially giving you say its old testament.

I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. Who says if you steal you won't be curse. Who says if you do not honour your parent its not curse. Who is saying worshipping another God you wont be cursed. But when it comes to not paying tithe there is no more curse.

Stay with God. Believe in God is word would not change to suit you. The foundation is sure and anyone that build otherwise is in trouble. Many even know more that the Teacher Daddy Freeze but because deep in their heart they have got it twisted in the area of tithing the shout Haa I said it.

Keep on deceiving yourself. If you are not a Christian you are wasting time in church.

Bible says by their acts we shall know them. Why would I stay with someone without results and trade him for someone with result and proofs to show he is serving the true God.

The truth is many who call themselves Christian today don't even believe the Bible. Its only true believers that will get the rewards. If you like carry the book and put it under your pillow you doubt Gods word you are a joker.

Ask freeze, who are his converts, how many souls has he won for God. Who are those that have been imparted by is prayers and prophesies. How many are giving testimonies concerning the mighty use of God through him. How many churches has he planted. Who are those that he pays as a result of their setrvice to God. How many endowment has he given to help the less privileged. How many disciples is he mentoring for Christ. How many villages has he visited to preach the gospel. Who did he pray for and things turned around in their lives.

By their fruits we shall know them.

APC government fill with self-centered brains who do not know what it means to gradually ease out what is not wanted till they get what they want. As far as I am concerned Ambode's name is synonymous to waste. How can a responsible government wait till this moment before finding a solution to waste that has become an epidemic in Lagos.

Hardly would you find any established Christian organization that does not give. That has always been the bedrock of Christianity. Your church couldn't have grown to the level of abundance, owning private jets and all and paying numerous pastors in your employ if you started with tithe chopping God cannot be mocked neither can humans be fooled for long.

Freeze or whatever is name is called is only riding on cheap popularity. He surely will find disciples among his likes but its all for a while the truth of his person will one day be exposed. Its unfortunate that such consequences or repercussions hardly become trending news but we never can tell. God is watching and he is Almighty that does as he pleases.

*Rapid Thoughts on Hijab-Gate*
By Pius Adesanmi

It appears I am the only one who missed Hijab-gate! I am coming to it late but I have a few random observations.
1) The Nigerian Body of Benchers has extant rules which the lady willingly submitted to but decided to flout at a critical moment. One's opinion of their strict and weird colonial vestimentary rules is of no moment here. There is a place and time and manner of engaging them to move with the times. However, extant rules are extant rules.
2) I see citizens plastering photos of Hijab-wearing women in police uniform and other professions all over Oyinbo land. It is increasingly common to see them here in Canada in the professions. What those splashing the photos will not tell you is that such concessions are usually made to female Muslim members of the professions after protracted negotiations by Muslim organizations and individuals - yes, activists too! - with the regulatory bodies of such professions. Take a look at this link and see how the Federal police in Canada, the RCMP, came to adopt the Hijab as part of the dress code of willing female members of the corps. You don't just show up at work as a female RCMP officer in Hijab, protesting the colonial origins of your uniform or whining that your current uniform is not in line with your religion. You show up in Hijab because it has now been approved after protracted diversity negotiations to change the uniform codes of the RCMP to accommodate your religion: http://
www.cbc.ca/news/politics/rcmp-diversity-policy-hijab-1.3733829
3) There are millions of Muslim lawyers and judges in Nigeria. Stop plastering decontextualized photos of Hijab-wearing women being called to the bar or in police uniforms in America and Canada without telling the story of the protracted diversity negotiations with the regulatory bodies of such professions which led to such outcomes in Canada and the US. Go and start your own diversity negotiations with the Nigerian Body of Benchers. Those of us who are tired of their nonsense colonialist hangovers, especially their funny wigs, may even benefit from your negotiations. They should spice up things, come into the 21st-century, stop wearing wigs, and stop speaking Latin all the time. Even the Catholic church moved beyond Latin. A conversation between two Nigerian wig-wearing lawyers can sometimes sound like the disgruntled conversation of two Roman centurions who are being owed salaries by Julius Caesar.
4) I support an expanded space of diversity in which our Muslim women would be able to wear the Hijab on the job in the legal profession after the amendment of the extant dress code. Go and negotiate with them. Stop blackmailing an association for her extant rules and stop encouraging the indiscipline of somebody who willingly flouted the extant rules after agreeing to them.
5) Because this is about the female body and appearance, there is no surprise that patriarchy has had the lion share of the conversation. This has largely been a debate between Christian men supporting the body of benchers and Muslim men supporting the female Hijabi. I am another male Christian weighing in. To the male Christian experts on Hijab and Muslim practices, you have been involved in a vigorous debate with Muslims over what they consider a symbol or an aspect of their religion in the last 48 hours. You have been running your mouths freely and liberally. Some of you have even been questioning the rights of Muslims to consider the hijab a religious symbol, claiming it is just a cultural symbol etc. Tomorrow, when the debate shifts to the psychological and social consequences of tithing, you will carry cutlass and langalanga and invade the public sphere and attempt to shut down meaningful conversations with blackmail - touch not my anointed. We shall be waiting for your Christian asses here.
6) To the Muslim men. I am happy about the ferocity with which you have marshaled your arguments in favour of the female Hijabi's rights and freedom. This is a very good development: that you are canvassing so openly for her rights and freedom. If, tomorrow, she decides to exercise the same right and freedom you are defending so passionately today to look like another nice Muslim woman, Mrs Aisha Ahmad, CBN Deputy Governor, I hope you will not change your tune about her individual right and freedom. If you do, we shall be waiting for your Muslim asses here.

I witnessed the baring of the lady from gaining entry into the call auditorium .kindly note that I was part of the officials that screened Aspirants to the Bar on that very day and I participated in the entry screening for the four batches that were called on those two days. I witnessed the whole drama ... You don't have an idea of the attitude of that religious extremist of a lady who was not ready to submit her personal sentiments to the rules of this profession. .. See eehh we have what we call "regulation dress code for ladies" in the legal profession.. The attire is clearly spelt out in our code of conduct book.. Hijab is obviously not part of it and you must deal with that obvious fact.. All our laws should not be bent for every wave of religious doctrines or practices ..otherwise we won't have a functional and fair law... My religion makes us believe that black represents evil..should I now wear white suit to law school or for my call to bar because of my religion?
There were over a thousand Muslim ladies we screened for the two days I was on duty ..why should her case be different ? We asked her to step aside and remove her hijab .. Imaging about 5 law school lecturers from Abuja campus begging a mere aspirant to the bar to do the right thing and she bluntly refused .
Pls we should stop giving this misfit of a lady an undue publicity for such an unpardonable display of crude rudeness to constituted authorities.
Denying her access to the call hall did not in any way violate her right to freedom of worship under Sections 38 or 39 of the 1999 CFRN , We all know that none of the rights enshrined in Chapter 4 of the 1999 CFRN is absolute. The denial was fair, proper and lawful.
Note that some Christians prohibit wearing of trouser by ladies , but they allow their ladies wear it during their NYSC . Will you say they are not serious with their religion ?
Pls we should all jointly condemn this misbehavior of the lady in question and put an end to this emotional sentiments we project here ..
Buhari's daughter during her call to bar last year .. She wasn't putting on her hijab ..but she wears it to any other places she goes ..I have met this Buhari's daughter twice at Coscharis Office in Abuja and at both occasions she wore her hijab ,but never wore it during her stay in law school or on her call day..
The lady should go to court if she feels she is above the law or that Islam is superior our circular laws .
This country is not an Islamic State and will never be ... If she is not ready to submit to the rules of the profession, she should as well go and study Islamic studies and bash her PHD in it.

I hope nobody will raise an eye brow if a Revd Father insists that he should be called wearing his cassock and rosary? Hope you will be ok to attend a call to bar ceremony in the nearest future only to see a man wearing a red skirt decorated with cowries because that is what the gods have asked him to wear? Do you know how many christians whose faith does not support the wearing of trousers but are compelled to do during the compulsory service? During NDA passing out parade, women (including muslim female soilders) cut their hair to the skin. No strand of hair is allowed on your hair let alone hijab. How many persons have challenged that? The dress code for lawyers in Nigeria predates Nigeria. If you bend a little, you will have to continue to bend to allow other religions and faith at the end of the day the beauty of the profession will be lost. Law is not for all. If you are too religious for law, try other professions. Law is not religious fanaticism.

And we should also note that no attire covers ones body than that of a Catholic Reverend Sister , who took her religion very serious to the point of electing never to get married throughout her lifetime , all of them appear in the prescribed regulation dress code for ladies during their call to bar. Reverend Fathers alike. The Lady could have still cover her body totally in her regulation dress without humiliating her entire family and kindred by bringing them to Abuja only to disgrace them by her unreasoned religious bigotry. Law with its tradition is older than Christianity and Islam and should for no reason whatsoever be made a slave to any of the two.
Let's keep this debate straight and fair in order not to sacrifice the nobility of this profession on the alter of religious sentiments .
We should resist any unholy temptation to rewrite our laws just because of the attitude of one person who has refused to be purged of personal sentiments throughout her 6 years of education.

My people . .
Just like the popular case of Kayode Bello in law school, this very case will soon be swept under the carpet . Just like Kayode had enjoyed his unprofitable publicity and now languishing in lonely regrets ,this very demonstration of foolery by the lady will still face same fate... In two months time all these dusts will settle and the bigot of a lady will be left to suffer the consequences of her stupidity in solitude ,while all her chanters will proceed with their normal daily activities.

In conclusion, if the lady should be donated the so much alarmed sympathy and condonation ,the following should also be considered in other to balance the equation:

Muslim lawyers should be allowed to wear hijabs.

Deeper life members shouldn't be made to wear NYSC trousers.

Lords chosen lawyers can wear their bullet proof vests to call to bar auditorium.

Celestial lawyers should be allowed to wear their white garments.

Traditional Idol worshipers like witch or native doctors should be allowed to appear in their red wrappers, feathers of birds, chocks and beads/cowries to law school and call to bar auditorium.

Since we're all mad right?
Career / Re: Firdaus Amasa Insulted Those Who Begged Her To Remove Her Hijab - Twitter User by topbollz(m): 11:01am On Dec 18, 2017
I think it was total bigotry on her side arrogance and lack of understanding. Lots of those shouting foul including the NBA chairman was he blind to this fact before now hypocrites and lost religion bigots. In ability to interpret messages from the Quran to at least have human face has always been an issue with people like her. Whether she likes it or not she will pay a new fee for call to bar and if a move was unattended to she will shamefully adhere to what she refused to do before now.

A religion always changing things via force will end up being pushed aside for a more liberal and understanding one. Its a matter of time.

Politics / Re: Atiku Lists Some Of His Companies In Twitter Conversation by topbollz(m): 9:21pm On Sep 07, 2017
Atiku for President! Naso ! Our mumu no go finish chai. One President will come try so haaarrrd to destroy and emblezzle the day light out of the country and then another will come try harrrrder to clean the mess of the previous government. No sooner than things start taking shape. Another thief in Sheep clothing will come, highlight How stupid Nigerians her to allow the current president adjust our extravagant life and how life was better during days of corruption that benefitted the economy immensely and helped us grow into an economy that entered into recession when it had opportunity to save for rainy days.

It was one president that left huge foreign reserve for Nigeria to grow. It was another that came to deplete it even in the face of abundance and high price of crude oil. It was some president that helped eliminate our external debt. It was another that returned us back to the status quo.

As long as some tribes and people feel their pockets are being lined better in the face of corruption we can only have a Seasaw Economy that is going back and forth. Let's face facts and pray for the Good of Nigeria, else generations to come so we go still dey talk how things will become better.

I pray for a Futuristic President. I pray for a candidate that will bring goodness to the Land. I pray for corruption to be reduced to point of elimination. I pray for Nigeria to take its place among Top Developed Nations in the world. I pray for a Patriotic President that sees Nigeria and not some part of the Nigerian map. I pray for a President surrounded by those that want the good of Nigeria. I pray for a President that would make me a proud citizen of Nigeria home and aboard. I pray for a President that loves the youth, care for the aged, attends to Social and Infrastructural needs of Nigeria. I pray for strategist and implementers that will leave marks of development everywhere on the Nigerian map to come take over the system.

I pray for a better Nigeria

This is because you activate DND you still get loads of junk messages from strange numbers starting with 5*** Best is to activate True Messager App on Android phones its a product of True Caller app coy. Then You get some peace. DND also helps you block all reasonable text messages that could be an info alert on your phone but does no Block MTN

Religion / Re: Eternity Is Real! by topbollz(m): 6:51am On Sep 05, 2017
God loves you and I that is why He gave Jesus as an advocate and the way to Him.

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Believe in the name Jesus, Confess Him as your Lord and personal Saviour, Live your life for Christ, be an Ambassador for Christ.

Psalm 34:8
Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Matthew 24:38-42

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Watch means stay faithful. Holy, be friutful in your service to God. Live for Christ Daily to relax don't give up, don't get distracted.

That you claim you go to Church, you are a Christian or Serve in Church is no yard stick.


Matthew 7: 20-24

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock.

John 12:37

Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him.

----
Believe it or not Jesus is the One and Only Way.

John 14:16

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.


Revelations 21:28

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.

Something is obviously Wong with your fish brain, have u no manners at all? You are a master foool. You should have being thrown away in a pit after your birth.
You quoted me just to insult me, hell descend on you. Can't you make a point without abusing me.

FYI, I graduated from LAUTECH like 6 years ago, so mind your business.

Your low brain did not allow you get the message well, the governors Said the school should start financing itself and that include paying of salaries. After auditing, they will know how much is on ground, how much the school makes and how much the school needs to run on and also more importantly how much the state governors need to add if possible.
If auditing is not done, tell me how the above paragraph will be possible. So who did not go to school now.
Be guided, you are hereby warned.


So that's why you blindly make comments shey. 6 years ago and you are flexing muscles. Lol

If you comment came with Golden Touch you wouldn't have received a fish brain response.

Answer my Question: Is it true ? And besides if state gives that excuse its an excuse it not a cogent reason.

FG and State Government should please look into the activities of these people.

Of course, the NASS is wasteful. That much is known.
It still doesn't legitimize spending $30 to extend the life of a chronically ill individual for a short period of time.

At the end of the day, that same individual still lacks the physical and mental strength to govern a complex nation of 180m.

In this animal farm, I guess one animal is more equal than others. undecided

Quite frankly, every gets I'll, especially at old age. And every will eventually die of one affliction or another.
Personally , I am not among those that wish him quickly recovery. I only wish him Karma.

I am only concerned, even angry that he doesn't follow the path of honor and integrity ( that he boasts about) , and go home to his private life And family to mind his health and enjoy whatever time he has left on Earth.
Nigeria, as a nation, shouldn't be suffering Buhari's chronic illness with him. undecided
The presidency is not his birthright.
It is a trust , a temporary trust reposed on him by the millions that voted for him , and the millions more that accepted him as the President of Nigeria.
It's not fair.

Are you a Medical Doctor? What other path should he follow or you've are so elusive of what the constitution says, he has made his intentions known to Nigerian as per Medical Leave, handed over properly and that should be enough for Amy right thinking person to comprehend. Why are you so bordered about him being around set. When there was a President that was around hale and hearty and over $90 billion dollars was stolen under is watch.

Karma will always speak for those that do not want the peace of Jerusalem.

Presidency is not his birthright and sure that's why he has 4 years. If He decides to die a President its is call and choice only not yours.

Instead of tolling same line of Integrity and Honour you sit critising his legacy oga way your own? undecided
