Illiterates from the north controlling well educated people in the south with political power. What an anomaly.

God forbid that Boko Haram takes over this government one day. The way they are surrendering is suspicious. I hope they don't find their way into the army.

Bigman101:
Good morning nairalanders!!

Pls I need advice.. Here is my story.. I do business with my brother (selling) so because of that I come in contact with women (customers)..

But the problem is this: there is one particular young woman that do patronize us. It all started when she expressed gratitude towards me.. Since then I feel something for her, I dont know how but I really do love her, but she is married.. I really don't know how to go about this, seems like am involved emotional to her! I wish I & her could be dating ...pls advice me how to become emotional distance from her...

Pls moderators help push this to front page for more views and replies.

It is lust and not love. Just run for your life. Take your mind off her. Otherwise, it could cost you your life.

Good intentions but he should have waited until he is ready before saying it. Bad belle people can truncate your dream.

When will they ever catch those sponsoring terrorist activities and those leaking information to Boko on tape? NIN is working.

Goan check Zidane's Goalscoring records for his club sides..(Bordeuax, Juve and R.Madrid)
Check Luis Figo..
Check David Beckham..

It is small boys (Indomie generation fans) dat use Goals to rate Footballers!
If it's speed, Zidane was also Slow!! Roberto Baggio wasn't dat fast!

So, you are calling FIFA small boys because that is what they have been using to rate attacking footballers all these years. It is for this same reason Samuel Eto won the Africa footballer of the year instead of J J Okocha.

Fahdiga:
Even as he is joking about it but it is quite the truth. Jay Jay would have been one of the highest paid players in the world if he was still playing and at his prime

I don't agree with you. Okocha is no doubt very skillful but he had two weaknesses that affected his game;

1. Speed. He is not very fast with the ball while on motion unlike Messi, Maradona, Pele and Ronaldo.

2. Poor goal scoring abilities. His total career goals is too low. Please check his record to confirm.

What we should be bothered about is how to counter the evil plans of the fulanis. It seems we don't even understand what they are up to. Our eyes are opened but we can't see.

Fahdiga:
Imagine this brain dead terrorists playing on our intelligence. They will plan this charade of "repenting" with the terrorist Fulani army whenever they are broke and in need of Niger delta oil money to further their jihad on the south. I blame Niger deltans for allowing this almajiris to be fleecing them of their own resources.

You are very correct. Only foolish Nigerians will believe them. Most of them will become informants to those still in the forest while some of them will be recruited into the army to terrorize anyone standing in the way of their evil agenda.

BB Naija is one sure gateway to hell. Both the performance and those who watch.

Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Colossians 3:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

I will join soon. We don't even need to be told that. After all, Daniel was vice president in a foreign country in three successive government.

He just told you that money doesn't come so cheap these days.

If they like, they should recruit them into army and use them to protect the herdsmen and give information to Boko Haram. They are deceiving themselves. The game will be over very soon.

PrinceOfLagos:
So when will they arrest and parades the killer Fulani terrorists

This government is a disgrace

Just my thought. But we all know that this government is behind the atrocities these terrorist commit. God will expose and judge them soon.

Why not black? You can wear it one year without washing sir

You didn't get him. He doesn't mean he has only one white suit. He could have up to 50 suits of different designs but all while so that even after 10 years, he can still put them on.

Well, I thought a billion Pastor shouldn't have issues with having different kinds of designer suits. He can even afford to wear it once and gift it out. It won't affect his budget. Unless there is something him alone knows about the white suit he wears. Even those who are not as rich as he is wears one kind of dress only once in a year.

I know about an upcoming lady minister who hasn't hit limelight yet but puts on different dress for the 52 weeks in a year. She doesn't wear the same dress twice in a year.

Having a first class doesn't mean you must pass every text. Some first class students need to to study very hard before they can get their grades. A few others are good all round. To me, the test is absolutely unnecessary.

Hmm... You've been repeating this statement over and over again "Govt doesnt have you interest at heart" and I keep wondering, what's the relevance / connection between this statement and what I said about 'large projects spanning longer time periods'? Or did I directly or indirectly mention or imply anywhere that the govt had your interest? Is that what we're talking about? Why do you keep repeating the statement to me?

Thank God these are written (not spoken) conversations. Please kindly point out where I mentioned in any of my statements that govt should start new projects and abandon old ones? Last time I checked, I've been hammering it to you that the only way major critical economically viable projects can be completed is through continuity, i.e. the new govt taking over and continuing / completing old projects initiated by their predecessors. You see why I say you're being inconsistent?

You keep insisting govt should focus on important issues like power and security; but whilst power is important, it does not water down the importance of having a robust road or rail infrastructure, and neither do these invalidate the urgent need for a revamp in the educational and health sector. You cant expect everything else to be abandoned while govt is working on power.

Even a toddler in Nigeria knows our leaders are thieves, but like I mentioned above, the need for functional power infrastructure does not invalidate the need for a robust transportation sector. Meanwhile talking about the rails, this is actually one sector the leaders can't exactly steal from cos the loan funds for the rails (unlike every other sector) is not passing through the hands of Nigerian politicians. So what exactly is your case?

My point is I have lost faith in this government. None of their project whether long term or short term excites me as long as ;

1. They are unable to fix the power problem in this country which is of course fixable if we have the right person at the top.
2. They are unable to tackle the security challenges we are facing which of course can be tackled if we have leaders with integrity.
3. Out graduates are still jobless on the streets.
4. Our Naira continues to devalue in the market.
5. Prices of food items continue to increase.
6. Most of our federal roads are in bad shape.
7. They are unable to account for the palliatives donated by CACOVIC during the lock down periods.
8. The so called president continues to travel outside the country for medical check up instead of upgrading our hospitals.
9. Most of our public schools lack facilities like they do years back.
10. Our refineries are not producing and we keep importing refined products.

As long as they can't tackle any of the above mentioned issues, nothing else they will do gets my attention. The government is a complete flop. In a sane country, they should have been sent packing long before now. They are just there to fill their pockets.

There is a place of hardwork to success in education but if you are truly intelligent, you don't need to burn the midnight oil to make a first-class degree.

Our school curriculum needs to be changed from academic brilliance to how one can succeed in this difficult time in Nigeria.

Wicked leaders. Fix our refineries and there will be no subsidy issue. God will punish all of you in hell. Nonsense

obailala:
Huh.. What exactly are you talking about? You're beginning to sound like someone ranting inconsistently and losing focus. What do you mean by political novice? You want bridges to be built overnight?

I told you that large projects take time and money and great political will; the examples you gave (i.e. Ajaokuta plant, East west road, power projects, Lagos Ibadan road etc) are all very sound examples to buttress the point I made to you earlier about big projects needing time, massive funds and political will, but that was just too much for you to comprehend wasn't it?

Nigeria desperately needs infrastructure in form of roads, rails, refineries, power plants, upgrade of power transmission and distribution infrastructure, hospitals, education etc. Contrary to what you might be thinking, these projects are all important and need to be developed concurrently, and since the money to complete them all isn't readily available upfront, it invariably means the projects will be executed slowly. Point being made is that major projects span different tenures.

You still don't know where you are. Your government doesn't have your interest at heart. If they do, our refineries would have been working by now to full capacity. You are talking about building infrastructure when old ones they started are being abandoned.

I am not against infrastructural development but let's maintain and complete the ones we have first. They should fix the power issue and declare a state of emergency in both security and Petroleum Industry.

Our youths are into banditory and other criminal acts because there are no jobs and foreign companies are afraid of investing in this country because of power and insecurity.

Michelin left Nigeria for Ghana because of power issue. The same with Dunlop. How long are we going to continue.

Our leaders are thieves. They will not give priority to what should be given priority but do only those things they will get a lot of gains from.

Ovamboland:
You are not aware the country suffered financial crisis due to the collapse and continues decline of the source of income starting from mid 2014?

It is the more reason we should focus on more important things now. People are dying daily. They should use the money and secure the country first. If they have to employ 500,000 new soldiers, they should do that first.

Our refineries are not working. They use subsidy to steal our monies. There is no steady power in the country and this alone discourage foreign investors and also increases cost of production.

Why can't this country be fenced round with modern border fence to reduce the problem of insecurity.

I keep praying for an opportunity to come one day to rule this country and people will know what is good governance.

We don't have leaders. What we have are looters.

Long term projects that will be completed in 8 years?... Bro, real big projects typically take longer; the only way feats like that can be achieved, especially in an infrastructurally deficit and poor nation like ours is 'continuity'.

Big projects require big planning, and coupled with the excruciating bureaucracy the Nigerian system is plagued with, it's virtually impossible for a new president to get into office and start a major project immediately (regardless of how eager the president is to bring the project to life). In effect, the first 2 - 3 years will be used for planning, and the remaining years for execution. Even in other parts of the world, when you hear construction of a huge project started and finished in say 3 years, what they dont tel you is that planning was going on for 5 years prior to that.

In the anigerian case, besides the fact that there would typically be paucity of funds (cos many other critical projects are competing for the same limited budget), many other inevitable factors delay huge projects. Even Dangote who is a private establishment and who isnt plagued with the typical govt bureaucracies or paucity of funds, has been trying to complete a single refinery since 2012.

In a nutshell, what I'm trying to say is that the only way mega projects can be completed is through continuity.

You are a novice in Nigeria politics. When the they first award the East - West road? Has it been completed till date. There are no projects that can't be completed within eight years period. It all depends on the manpower and capital investment in it.

Besides, is it our priority now? All our refineries are down. The power sector is not working. The level of insecurity is something else. If we have that much money, why not invest it on these areas I just mentioned?

The earlier you know that these set of politicians don't have your interest at heart, the better for you. They are just looking for ways to make money out of most of these projects. What happened to the Ajaokuta steel complex? When was it started? Has it been completed till date.

obailala:
In that case, the FG should just be building only classroom blocks and patching highways cos more serious projects typically span several tenures.

I didn't say so. They have eight years in office. They should start long term project earlier and not at the tail end.

Jimasun:
Mehn.. This is so backward in thought.
Government should not do long term projects because the next government can abandon it? Are you fro real?
Ever heard of long term planning?

I am talking from experience of what is going on. They should start such project early not at the tail end of their tenure.

The mono rail project started by Ameachi in Rivers State an abandoned project. The multi shopping complex along Aba road that was initiated by Omeha was abandoned by two successive government. It is Nigeria trade mark. Start what you can finish. There is no project that can not be completed within eight years in office. This government is just looking for ways to loot more monies before they leave office. They don't have your interest at heart. If they do, they should have fixed our refineries and power sector long before now.

Sack all aboki gatemen now. They are terrorist. You can do without a gate man.

No government should start any project they can't complete in their tenure because it might be abandoned by the next government. Why not use this money to fix most of our federal roads first that are in very bad conditions?

We also need industries for Job creations.

The FG should declare a state of emergency in the Petroleum Industry and power sector. This money can build four new refineries. Steady power is needed for development.

Meanwhile, most of these projects are over inflated and designed to make themselves rich.

God never said we should sue anyone who insults us or defame our character. Rather he said we should rejoice when it happens to us. How many people did Jesus sued? Was he not insulted. They even killed him for a crime he didn't commit. He still prayed that God should forgive them.

It seems that only killer herdsmen are permitted to carry guns in this country. I have never heard of them being paraded or disgraced for carrying guns.

Good advice but not God's counsel. It makes sense to the natural man but contrary to spiritual law contained in the Bible. The Bible says that you must seek first God's Kingdom before personal things. So his teaching is anti Christ.

When herdsmen attack communities, you will never hear of soldiers or security personnel swinging into action but attack the herdsmen communities, you will see them in action just in few hours. We are watching patiently. One day Monkey go go market and he no go return.

All we achieve in Nigeria and Africa at large is killing and looting. May God have mercy on us.

Rivers state constructed just a straight bridge for about 7 billion naira. Over inflated project cost is another subtle way to steal money.
