Please for your sake don't tell me you did not know the plural of 'chief' is 'chieves'

The rule of wife (singular) and wives (plural) do not apply to chief. Chief (s) and Chiefs(p)

Deep Soul:
Na wa. These muslims sef. I hope there's a special hell awaiting them

This has nothing to do with their Islamic belief. Rather it is just part of their culture, predominantly Asian Culture.

We are suffering but not as much as Haiti, Congo, Burma, and host of other countries.

At least we are spared natural disasters

source please?

That is common in men toilets. I have never seen a toilet in a public toilet without writings on the wall. Especially in Universities and government offices. Some even engage in religious and sectarian warfare on toilets walls.

How was it possible to block the memo?

Was Jonathan chairing the FEC today?

Where does the VP's loyalty lie?

The FEC is chaired by Jonathan but from all indication, Jonathan have not provided cover to Dora or he lacks the political muscles to do so.

It is just a matter of time. They cannot continue dragging this issue

ReachRich:
B4 we begin to commend Dora,we should first confirm the autenticity of this news.

I can confirm that this is authentic from BBC Hausa Service

Initially I thought it was not true, but the BBC Hausa service have just reported it. But from their report, the FEC refuse to discussed it, but there is high possibility that they can't escape it next week.

When the samething happened sometimes in August, I remember Richyblack and some other guys arguing passionately about this and I do not think some people can easily forget.

It is a law in most countries that your next of kin cannot be your spouse. Even in Nigeria. So if most of you do not know, better start looking for your next of kin from today.

Imagine You give birth to a baby boy. You nursed him. Feed him. Cloths him. Send him to school. Cooked for him. You devoted about 20-25years of your life thinking about him untill he becomes a man. Then suddenly he is married. Own a house and another woman will say if you stay in his house you have over stayed? Women are unncessarily jealous. You can choose who your wife/husband will be, but never a mother. My mother will is welcome in my house forever. My wife, if she loves, have to learn to love my mother. I just do not understand where this concept is coming from. Too much of watching movies that have turn mothers and mothers-in-law into devils is ruining happines in families.

I am not the one complaining here. We are all celebrating the beauty of 'ONE NAIJARIA' here where some are more equal than others.

I am reminding you the above in bold so that when you use the above phrase like you have done in the past you are reminded that the kind of injustuces you helped to sustain is coming back to hunt you.

Nigeria is such a perfect country the way it is, let us learn to love it and live with it the way it is.

Not only Nigeria is perfect, it give you an idea of the kind of people that are called Nigerians now. What is happening in Nigeria cannot happened in another black african country, without the thought of civil war if the country have as much ethnic nationalities as we have.

I do not understand why most people view Nigeria as a teritory under the occupation of Northern Nigeriia.It will be good if everybody reflects on the structure of Nigeria and how it is governed, the north is not holding anyone on leeches. The President is away for 60days and all the other remaining top shots in this country are people from the South or middle belt, I see no reason why people will come here and start blaming all their misfortunes on Northern Nigeria/Nigeria. People should direct their anger to their elders. Look at theThe injustice in Nigeria is not only in Niger Delta, it is all over the country. But more glaring because NigerDelta is the source of oil.

Despites the religious crises in northern Nigeria, if I see the Igbo population, striving to earn living, owning land and properties and businesses, I know, no matter what NairaLand's revolutionaries do, Nigeria is going to remain a united country. Majority of Nigerians do not see what you people see and they do not care. Look at the SNG rally. It looks so ridiculous and funny and looks like some secondary school marching to get their food. Average Nigerians do not care anymore. They know even if the countries go seperate ways, the same system will continue.

As far as a man is concern the day you were born is not important to him. It is the day you met and the day you will die that are important to him, and that is if he truly love you.

Why should a person be overtly concerned about a date that do not have a meaning? I can't understand why people are even celebrating the date they are born. Nobody can remember what he did when he was born. It is your parents that you should be worried if they can't remember when you were born. Your Dad and Mother are the people that were around. Why should a person who have no record in his memory be bothered to remember some meaningless dates.

@ mrblack

If Yar adua officially does us the favor of stepping aside for life,its a rather good start. don't you think so ?
We indeed are blessed with corrupt leaders ,but we have to start from somewhere

Even if Yar'adua drop dead today, the guy that will be next in charge is outrightly incompentent. And so we are going to remain where we are or probably spiral downward. JOnathan do not poses the will power and political muscles to change the status quo

desgiezd:
I pity this woman for she doesnt appear to be a good student of history. She should have learnt from Mariam Abacha's predicament after
the death of Abacha, yet Mariam didnt display the sort of arrogance she is displaying now. I have pasted two stories written by Tell Magazine
for people to truly know the kind of power she weilds in Yar Adua's government but the response had been very low but what we are seeing
now more or less confirms both stories by Tell.

Here is a link to the tread:

You have to know that, tha publication is just a mere propaganda and nothing other than that. Nigerians are looking for someone to blame. Someone that do not have the guts to respond, or his response will not make any difference. Always. It is either the clonial masters, the Hausa Fulani, the army generals or somebody else. The Journalist of Tells and Sahara reporters are just heck on putting the blame on this woman. A woman that do not control the army, the Judiciary, the Senate or House of Reps. The woman that is somewhere taking care of her sick husband. These people should wake up and start blaming the people responsible for this. The FEC, Senators, Reps, PDP and the State Governors, who yeild influence more than the combine power of the senate and the judiciary. The FEC, to which the VP belong, had opportunity to bring Nigeria out of this mess. That council is made of Nigerians from all over the country with reputable carrier, academic background and experience that will make a lot of members of this forumn envious.

I do not support, in whatever disguise, the way our Journalist are turning this blame on this woman, who by accident, found herself on the cross-road of history. The members of the FEC, should be blamed squarely for this. The VP is a heck of useless man. I do not envisage somebody like Atiku, to be acting like he is. Jonathan is Docile, indicisve and outrightly incompetive.

This is a pure character assassination.

So she called the former SFG and then SFG called Sahara reporters and narrated the verbal abuse by Turai.
Or may be Sahara reporters got the voice record from MTN etc.

In as much as people want to make issue out of the prolong absence of the President, that should be directed to the National Assembly, who are constitutionally vested with all powers to do whatever they see is necessary. This woman, have no power, and therefore, the fact that people are looking for excuses for their incapabilities and docile attitudes, do not warrant them to be written rumours as news. Freedom of speech is not freedom of lying

Is it birthday or birth date?

Until when he hooked up with his sister. . .may be he will start thinking before coming here

Not only are Doctors and Nurses mean, they are outrightly dangerous. They are always fuming with anger and considering themselves mini-gods that can condem people to death. You need to go to general hospitals down in the North and you will see the worst. To them somebody dieying is nothing. I lived near hospital before and had this habit of going round the wards on weekends to great them and take food to those patients that comes from villages and cannot even afford food let alone medical bill. I mean I feel sad and from then I do not pity any medical Doctor. If they will all be rounded up and killed I don't thing I will bother much. They are so used to killing people to the extend it doesn't bother them if a patient dies or live. They are not properly regulated to the extend that a Dictor can kill more than 100 patients within a spate of few years. People die on the surgery table and no one question them.

afemai:
women and money! will you tell your wife how much you earn?
am told to declare half of what I earn and give her half of the
declared that the balance is what am using to ''marrying her'',
do you agree? pls advise.

what kind of woman are you married to?

My own belief considering the problems we have in Nigeria. . . legalizing prostitution should be the last rung on the ladder

aloy-emeka:
If I am investigating this case, Gbenga Daniels will be the last suspect on my mind. Ask yourself why he should kill a man he beat in the polls before?. Dipo was never successful as a politician but he was trying his best. Gbenga Daniels also have the power of incumbency which will give him at least 10% edge over any AC opponent coupled with his gangster PDP  party which will also give him another 10% edge. The first suspects here should be his fellow AC rivals who wants to pick the Ogun State guber ticket for their party and not Gbenga Daniels who has nothing really to gain from this guy's death.

I am not a supporter of Gbenga Daniel's o before you guys haul stones at me but if you look at this issue very well, you will find out that he is the last person who will desire him dead. It's like Obama plotting to assassinate McCain. Does that make sense to you?. Let the police investigate his party rivals, business partners and bad belle village people. His assailants must come from any of the three options.

Benga Daniel is in his 2nd tenure, so he has nothing to loose if this guy still contest. My suspicion will be directed towards the Speaker (Bankole) and other potential candidates.

Corruption in Nigeria is Unbeliveable she said. . . . . .

yeh. . . corruption is unbeliveable. . . the level of corruption in Nigeria is beyond imagination.

Wallahi. . . it is beyond imagination

Certainly they are: but imagine if people have a legal backing to turn their house into brothels.

I am not saying Nigerians are saints and that we have good family vitues. I am not unmindful of the fact that people patronise prostitutes. It is an open sectret everyone knows where he can find one. But however, my own submission here, at the level in which Nigeria is, legalizing prostituion will not solve any of the problems most you think it will. Rather it will rapidly increase some.

otawa:
It should be legalise so that those who engage in it can get proper medical advice and be treated with respect.

It is already widely done, we are only deceiving ourselves if we play dumb.

Legalizing prostitution will destroy the only viable and sustainable instituion in Nigeria: Family.

Your words are true, people patronize prostitues anyway (both married and single peeps) Its every where and will never stop even though Nigerians as always LOVE pretending and never facing their problems head on, Prostitution is regulated here in Europe only to protect the health of the parties involved. Lack of regulating it is what is responsible for the spread of HIV/AIDS. . . . .I fully support legalizing prostitution completely, make it require public inspection and a license, sort of like what you have for restaurants, bars and cab drivers like they do it here. This would be some basic requirements for hygiene, safe sex, and registered for random inspections. That is how they do it here and it works. . . .The people here have far greater sex than Nigerians and patronize prostitues more but have a very very very low rate of STDs, HIV/AIDS because prostitution has been legalized and is regulated by the authorities . . . . .

I hope you are not talking about Nigeria.

You first of all have to understand that in Nigeria there are so many industries that are not regulated. bars, cab drivers, restaurants are not regulated. We have all sort of food joints all over the country selling all sorts of junks and poison.

EVen private school (primary and secondary schools) are not proparly regulated. We have all sorts of building and trash serving as schools without qualified teachers. That is why we have massive failures in our WAEC and even NECO. Only 10% passed the lasts year exams

Privave Clinic are not proparly regulated in Nigeria. It is only in Nigeria where 10 patients will die on a surgeon table within a spate of 1 month and nothing will be done. And only in Nigeria where a general physician will be carrying out all sort of surgeries

Even downstream petroleum sector is not proparly regulated. Black marketing is common every where

Even the BAnking sEctor that have a well establish regulatory agency is a mess

Any attempt to legalize prostitution in Nigeria will legalize maltreatment and trafficking of women. The number of women that will be force in to prostitution will increase both by the families and even abductors. Selling of baby body parts to ritualist will increase rapidly because there will be many baby factories and nothing can be done


Nigeria in my own opinion have not reach a moral level to legalise selling of a woman body

National Grid is very important in managing energy efficiently. Electricity cannot be stored once produced and therefore it is imperative that it is transported to areas of need. Another advantage is since power plants cannot be 100% reliable, there is need to connect them on the National Grid in order to overcome effect of sudden failure of any plants. Countries all over the world have National Grid. As big as America is, they have a National Grid. There is also a common Power Grid across Europe such that if Electricity can be exported across boarders if necessity.

twinskenny:
thhis is really breaking my heart!!!!!!!!

I just hope it is not true. I hope it is just a rumour.

We are a country without a leader. This should be expected.

In every polygamous family if the head of the family is missing, and there has been intense rivalry between the wives and children, then you should expect something like this

It just mean he is the only person that vote for himself. Isn't that ridiculous? Rigging is carried out by all parties in Nigeria

Bed sharing 'drains men's brains'
Image of a couple sleeping
Bed sharing disturbed sleep quality
Sharing a bed with someone could temporarily reduce your brain power - at least if you are a man - Austrian scientists suggest.

When men spend the night with a bed mate their sleep is disturbed, whether they make love or not, and this impairs their mental ability the next day.

The lack of sleep also increases a man's stress hormone levels.

According to the New Scientist study, women who share a bed fare better because they sleep more deeply.

Sleepless nights

Professor Gerhard Kloesch and colleagues at the University of Vienna studied eight unmarried, childless couples in their 20s.

Each couple was asked to spend 10 nights sleeping together and 10 apart while the scientists assessed their rest patterns with questionnaires and wrist activity monitors.

The next day the couples were asked to perform simple cognitive tests and had their stress hormone levels checked.


Sharing the bed space with someone who is making noises and who you have to fight with for the duvet is not sensible
Professor Neil Stanley, a sleep expert at the University of Surrey

Although the men reported they had slept better with a partner, they fared worse in the tests, with their results suggesting they actually had more disturbed sleep.

Both sexes had a more disturbed night's sleep when they shared their bed, Professor Kloesch told a meeting of the Forum of European Neuroscience.

But women apparently managed to sleep more deeply when they did eventually drop off, since they claimed to be more refreshed than their sleep time suggested.

Their stress hormone levels and mental scores did not suffer to the same extent as the men.

But the women still reported that they had the best sleep when they were alone in bed.

Bed sharing also affected dream recall. Women remembered more after sleeping alone and men recalled best after sex.

Separate beds

Dr Neil Stanley, a sleep expert at the University of Surrey, said: "It's not surprising that people are disturbed by sleeping together.

"Historically, we have never been meant to sleep in the same bed as each other. It is a bizarre thing to do.

"Sleep is the most selfish thing you can do and it's vital for good physical and mental health.

"Sharing the bed space with someone who is making noises and who you have to fight with for the duvet is not sensible.

"If you are happy sleeping together that's great, but if not there is no shame in separate beds."

He said there was a suggestion that women are pre-programmed to cope better with broken sleep.

"A lot of life events that women have disturb sleep - bringing up children, the menopause and even the menstrual cycle," he explained.

But Dr Stanley added people did get used to sharing a bed.

"If they have shared their bed with their partner for a long time they miss them and that will disturb sleep."
