Demdem: The states are basically following the footsteps of the miserable FG. Once the head is rotten, the rest of the body is useless. The FG knows itself to be a rotten entity and that explains why she isnt courageous enough to tasks his security agents to beam searchlights on the accounts of the states.
In view of the kind of democracy we are praticising, the head needs to be near perfection. If Aso rock can consume up to 1Billion naira of food in a financial year, its not out of place for each state houses to consume up to 500Million naira however if Aso rock consumes like say 100Million naira, woe betide the state that will consume above 50Million.

The FG leads and the states follows.

Though the states are important and essential i for one prefer to tackle the head, besides most of the states are controlled by the killer party who also control the rotten head.

Afam4eva: Some people from Bonny/Opobo are historically Igbos. Even a huge number of those that are not Igbos speak Igbo as a second language. Are you from Bonny/Opobo?

Afam4eva: Omawunmi is Itsekiri/Warri and her mother is Bonny/Opobo(Igbo). She got her Igboness from her mother because she didn't live with her father cos i think they were seperated.

how is Bonny/Opobo Igbo?

Okija_juju: Graduated in 07'.

You were given 4 year multiple entry H-1 Visa, when you graduated. This Visa expired 6 years ago. And yet you graduated in ‘07? how does this add up

Okija_juju: [b]Re-brand NYSC ..

Replace it with what Governor Oyakhilome of Rivers State did way back. the ever brilliant SCHOOL-TO-LAND programme.

The government can tweak it to involve other areas, but that programme was brilliant. NYSC members can serve in farming programmes all over the country. Build big industrial farms. Backed with proper funding and university research, hybrid seeds can be created, hybrid livestocks as well. Nigeria can become an exporting country. The corp members get to learn first hand the intricacies of farming. It can be divided into different branches such as Cassava farming, Plantain, poultry, pigry, e.t.c. Each corp member gets to pick 2 or three and spend a minimum of 3 - 4 months on each farm learning everything from farming to book-keeping to distribution and also storage.. In the end, the resultant agricultural revolution would be amazing. Even the NYSC could end up beimng a self sustaining body from the realization of sales of produce they get Nationwide.[/b]

You never ever lack words to pour on this forum, some times they make lots of sense like this one, some times they are hilarious and of course other times they are just plains lies and contradictions. [s]BTW how come you graduated at least 10yrs ago and only got married recently[/s]

oluwadare26: Nigeria! Only God knows how much was budgeted for that Investigation yet they havent know precisely the cause of the crash...they claim it was either human error or material failure..WON JEBI, what else can cause it!

berem: ‘The campus marshal said an unidentified student brought the phone to him claiming that he picked it up from the ground after the attack.

We have since asked the marshal to provide the student for questioning or he will remain in our custody for more interrogation’ the detective said.

5. MAmmy Market is your friend.. If you are an Ajebutter like me who is very particular about where and what I eat, you can do what I did. Find a Mammy Market stall you are comfortable with, make friends with the owner and have her prepare you whatever you want to eat. Just inform her in advance. I served in Obubra and had this one Mammy Market woman who really took care of me. I will just tell her that Tomorrow, I want X soup with Pounded Yam and Dog meat (just kidding about the Dog meat sha) and she would cook it, bring it and give me my bill which was alarmingly cheap (Max. 3'k).


5. Buy as many BYC white shirts and White Shorts as you can afford. I Bought 14 BYCs, 14 Shorts and 14 pairs of white socks. I advice this because of the following reasons;


13. ENDURANCE TREK!!: I personally enjoyed this part of camp. I completed mine. Even had to cross a river by canoe at some point. Now listen!! Your NYSC issued jungle boots are useless cheap piece of trash that is no good for nothing but the dust bin.. For your endurance trek, please find a pair of realy good quality trainers,( I bought a pair of military spec jungle boot from the U.K you can also find some in the market that is military spec and not Converses o!!) and wear. If you must use the NYSC issue, make sure its a comfortable fit. Otherwise, wear the thickest pair of socks you can find. Otherwise, you will be bleeding and injured all over your feet by the time you are done.

val_dubem: 1. Spend wisely: Buffet still dwells in that 5bedroom apartment he purchased 55years ago.

2. No one cares about your money as much as you do: Buffet makes all his own investment decisions for his best interest; not the commission-based interest of financial advisers, stock brokers etc

3. Do your home work- Scan thousands of stock: Buffet spends 18hours a day working on investment capital, saying investors should think of themselves as partial owners.

4. Over come your fear of risk: people are afraid that investing will cause them to loose money but Buffet says stocks outperform bonds, banks and even gold; and are safer too.

5. Focus on the long term: Putting off saving/investing means you'll need to save more in less time for the same outcome.

6. Invest in quality Business: The result of doing your homework is determining worthy companies. Buffet is famously invested in Coca cola, wells Fargo and IBM.

7. Hunt for exceptional bargains for solid companies: Buffet recommends buying stock during a crash. when even great companies have extremely low prices.

8. Make decisions to invest based on how well money is used by Company management: Buffet feels penny pinching indicates a profitable mindset. once, he acquired a company whose owner took the time to discover the toilet paper roll wasn't really the advertised 500 sheets.

9. Be patient; wait until everything is in your favor to interest: when conditions align, buy an appropriate amount of shares. Buffet recommends holding stocks in 10-15 companies.

10. Sell loosing stock when the market is up; Buy winning stock during a crash: Selling a dud stock at its worst adds to your loss, and purchasing a great stock at peak price cuts your gain. "the beauty of stocks is they do sell at silly prices sometimes. .....Thats how Charly [munger] and I got rich." warren says

Akpan107: Atleast, you should save the money to buy urself a Land, build a good House on it, take very good care of ur family and send ur childred to good schools. Then, you can buy iPhone, the most expensive clothe, Perfumes and visit the best restuarant in town with the remaining change... My dear, we truely need to save money and a big one for that matter!

gbengalite: FEASIBLE TIPS FOR SAVING
Another secret I would like to reveal here are the tips you really need to sky-rocket your savings, even if you have zero-balance savings.
• Remove your savings before anything
• Reduce your bill
• Sleep over before you buy anything
• Find money to save
• Avoid buying the latest phone. Why? dont buy the latest phone only if your current phone has all the features that you want!
• Take just enough cash with you
• Stop taking your ATM card everywhere. what do you do when there is an emergency?
• Make more than you spend
• Choose a frugal spouse. there's a thin line between being frugal and being a miser!
• Cook at home. Many times, It is cheaper to eat out! besides eating out is necessary in relationship building
• Learn to fix things yourself
• Do not buy brand new car and buy a brand new car when? after retirement? when you are old? A good new car would save you all the hassles of Nigerian mechanics and is cheaper in the long run
• Go to market not super-market If you do not know how to bargain, A supermarket would be cheaper than a market
• Do a price check before you buy things
• Do not buy brands or labels buy more of generic product. Only if the generic is the same quality as the branded one
• Always occupy yourself with activities thereby preventing spending
• If you must use paid TV go for the lower rate. Good quality doesn't ever come cheap!
• Be optimal during Christmas

nenergy: flashed my National I.D card and shouted “STOP THERE, so you are gambling eh?!

olu4life: Good day peeps,i'm presently confused and dont even know what to do about my PPA. I was posted to a private school last month [due to redeployment] in Ibadan. On resuming,i was told to teach Basic Science for JSS 1-3,which i am carrying out effectively. But last two weeks,the propietor sacked a teacher taking agricultural science and geography.
Only for me to be given agric to tach frm jss 1 to ss 3,which[b] i[/b] immediately rejected. This led to a face-off with the man. He insulted me in front of the students,calling me names and also insulting my father. I responded immediately not to even include my father in this.
One week later,he called me saying he has assigned agric for ss to me,which i rejected. Last monday,he went into our quarters and seized my hot plate [cos he gave us accomodation] which up to date he hasnt stated why he seized it.
I reportes him to the LGI,only for me to be shocked with LGI's response. He supported him and told me to just teach the students rubbish. I accepted in good faith anyways.
Now, this morning,we wanted to collect clearance cos we are to sign PV starting from today. But he refused to give us saying its a lie.
Also told we corpers staying in the lodge to pack out cos he's no longer giving us accomodation. Am so confused right now. The LGI has been bribed by this man,so angry at the moment.
Please what measures can be taken
This is a man who has just 6 teachers and 6 corpers for a whole secondary school. He is bent on dealing with me simply because i refused to take agric

#UPDATE Am jus been told not to be given bed again. Cos the bed have been using is from the creche.Will[b] i[/b] sleep on the floor Am so loosing it right now

bebrief: It's a bail hearing and not a sentence, that's an obvious typo.

1. It was dark and the lights went off, but he was able to search for his gun but couldn't locate his girlfriend lying on the same bed

2. He claimed to have called out and what response did he get? Then he fired not one, not two, not three shot and still got no response

3. What kind of strange noise could be coming from the bathroom except that of someone using the toilet or the shower? What other strange noices could he have heard How strange he was quick to remember that workers had earlier worked in his home but could not remember his girlfriend who was spending the nite with him on an early Valentine morning.

4. You should have heard that the prosecutors confirmed the witness to have been at a 300m distance (not 600). Whether they were 300 or 600m away, they could clearly hear some arguments from his home at that time of the nite. And who was he talking with? He clearly has no answers!


Regardless of whom he called first, this is a cold-blooded and heartless murder by some disabled and mentally unstable man! Probably he might have been on some drugs, maybe Testosterone found with him - if that affects him adversely.

We have to wait till June to hear what new explanations he has to give!

bebrief: Listen up friend! Weather the assumed intruder came in from the bathroom window or the main entrance, the questions are:
1. Where was his girlfriend whom he claims to love, and who was with him that nite during his shooting?
2. Does he claim not to have heard her voice after one shot? But he shot four times at a distance of 1.5m from the bathroom.
3. He was able to leave his bed and pick an unlicensed gun without his prosthesis, and yet did not notice his girlfriend was not on the bed?
4. A witness about 300m away during the shooting heard a loud argument, who was he talking with?

I watched the full sentence and Mr Pistorius's claims is simply unbelievable! Only a dumbass can take that, unless he claims insanity or some mental disorder.

donchris999: I am really shocked at the bail granted this murderer called pistorius. Infact as i was listening to the judge read out his decisions and reasons on cnn, i couldnt believe myself when the judge said that the plaintiffs dont have enough evidence to base their case on pre-medidated murder. South africa's women are dumbasses. So they couldnt come out enmasse to protest this dubious bail granted to a murderer. South african women should realize now that it is still early that oscar pistorius case could set a precedence to men murdering their spouses in coldblood and going away it such a heinous crime. I cry for this world we are in. A man shoots a woman inside a bathroom four good times, i mean four good times without hearing her scream after the first shot. GOSH! I pity south african women, i weep for this world. Money buys power, power begets authority and authortiy brings infuence. The influential and affluential get away with anything why the poor and non-influential wallow in self-pity.

TheRealMrStan: I don't know the level of sophistication or stupidity
of South African burglars and intruders, but in
Nigeria, burglars or intruders don’t enter your house
just to use the bathroom, like seriously?
I understand Mr Oscar that you live in one of those
highbrow neighborhoods in Pretoria-South Africa, a
fortified housing estate with armed private security
guards and all-a burglar/intruder beats all this and
heads straight to your bathroom? By the way, what
was the ‘strange noise’ that got your attention?
Was it the sound of footsteps, or the loud farts
emanating from your bathroom as the ‘intruder’ did
his/her thing?

jas_o: @ Trix,
You are the mumu of the century. You have to start reasoning like normal human being.
What has age got to do with poor performance and irresponsible act of a President? It is obvious that you're far from the fact that an elected president is like errand boy selected by majority to manage affair of the country. If you now said challenging or pointing out govt. mistake is a sin and disrespect i think you should look for what's missing in your system.

trix!:
You know I am a psychopath? And you know this how?

While I wouldn't stick my neck out and say GEJ has performed wonders, I wouldn't also say he's the worst thing to happen to Nigeria. I believe this thread is about Eko Atlantic? NO? He gave a speech, and Non of you commented on the contents of the speech, all you've done is hurl insults at him.
After all, the fact that you come up here hurling insults at your elders, shows that your father did such a poor Job raising you, yet I don't see you hurling insults at him.

He is not fit to run this country? What have you achieved in your whole life?

lynpetra: What I have achievedAm a graduate,got my own business by working hard under hot scorching sun.GEJ govt did not contribute to who I am today,not even his worthless policies! Therefore I can criticize him if I want

lynpetra: Where were you when he is implementing decisions that labelled him as a slowpoke.?GEJ is a failure,take it or leave it.He is not fit to be the president of this country.Just like Lt president yar Adua( RIP), he is a shadow of himself,just that in the later,he is a sick man whose poor decisions might be attributed to his ill health.I know you are a psycopant! But you all are heading DOWN! DOWN!! DOWN!!!

GARRI (x7):
Shebi wen Zonathan insult Nigerians you dey prison.. Abi??
