Every politician wants a university in their backyards

Does that mean the illegitimate child won't bear his father's name? If yes, how will he be named?

Abeg make him shift. How much is Nigeria's annual budget sef that he's asking for such humungous amount!

Cost of C of O for a 2 bedroom in Kuje equal to that of a multimillion mansion in Asokoro? It doesn't make sense at all. Why should CofO be even exorbitant in the first place?

Same people admitting sleeping with girls below 18, will metamorphose to full blown islamophobes when they hear a Muslim girl legally betrothed at an age below 18. Double standard

delpee:
The detailed story shows that they were warned not to build on pipeline areas, drainage channels and road setbacks. They were hoping that FHA will regularise their misdemeanor. Same as it happened in Ajao Estate and Lekki. People need to learn to abide with the laws and regulations of the society in which they live.

I agree with you, 100%. What I'm saying is that there are agencies of state govt that shouldn't have even allowed such structures to stand. But perhaps they got their share in the largesse

Where was the FHA when they built such a number of houses? I hate when sth happens under your nose and you come several years to feign ignorance.

PEPPERified:
What about Gen. A. B. Danbazau. I thought he is a professor of law

I doubt. Even he is, he didn't become one while serving in the NA

Fff

This is misleading. Customs kept setting new records of revenue and surpassing its records year on year, how can such gains now be mischievously regarded as loss when it was such incentive that increased the customs revenue. Lately, media reports have been trying to twist reports of officials of the current as if their feedbacks are indicting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's predecessor. Check my signature for free stuffs!

E tire me o. I don't like these blame games. If the current admin is not OK with the decision of the predecessor, let them reverse it. It's obvious that the Customs officials don't want a fully digitalised system

Israel07:
Comity of terrorist u mean 😂.... Talk to your fellow terrorist to allow farmers farm in peace in zamfara, Niger, Benue, Jos, Taraba, Sokoto, Katsina and Kaduna before going to help Hamas and Hezbollah Iran annex terrorists. Fools!

I know your problem. Your terrorism is internal, it'll never allow your heart to rest, or your brain to think straight

This is Nigeria commanding some respect in the comity of nations.

Wow. 2006 thread hitting FP in 2023. Twale to the OP sha, man is still active to this day. Seun, you need to start rewarding NL veterans o.

There's a whole lotta evil unsaid going on in the Army, who can tell??

I spent a whole year, day in day out in a Air Force base for a whole year, no death of personnel was recorded both officers and soldiers but anytime we happen to attend Army barracks for any mess function or inter competition, you'd always see a postal bill of deceased Army personnel and they're always changing it week in, month out.

Too much jealousy, too much superiority issues, too much power seeking men

Army personnel are more vulnerable to dangers compared to AF. So nothing mysterious about the higher death figures

Straybullet:
You have no vantage position if you cannot see that el rufai left the state worse than he met it.

A man that publicly admitted his choice of Muslim Muslim ticket was to subdue and subjugate Christians.

A man that admitted he paid money to foreign terrorists out of state coffers.

Whatbisnthe result of his "incredible" performance if.our state is littered with houses abandoned by their owners because insecurity has rendered the area unlivable?

Why are there so many houses of relocated people vacant and up for sale with no interested buyers?
Why is the millennium city project failing with no meaningful attraction of human resources?

Why is the television garage to sabo road still abandoned after scraping away the little one people were managing...?

Which road did he do in sabo, television, gonin gora, romi, karatudu, federal housing, buwaya?, to mention just a few...

You can earn your pay without trying to mislead the public. We are right here on the ground. El rufai hated the Christian half of kaduna. That half has reciprocated , because many of them are the investing visitors who are now leaving in droves.

I hope el rufai manufactures investors out of thin air to come back and get this economy moving...

Whether you accept or not, the issue of insecurity occasioned by banditry is not peculiar to christian areas or even the whole state. It's a north west and north central issue. How you keep blaming Elrufai for something that's responsibility of FG is what I'm yet to fathom. The lives and properties lost in Kaduna Central in recent years, outnumber that in Southern Kaduna. The records are there. There's no LG in Southern Kaduna that's not readily accessible. But a large LG, Birnin Gwari which is muslim dominated, has become a Bermuda triangle of sorts. But since the LG is muslim, you barely hear about their sordid situation.

As for what Elrufai said about some Christians, I'm not supportive of that. I am of the opinion that he said that to massage the egos of the Muslim audience that was there, which is an attribute of most politicians. His utterance was at variance with what he's known for. He doesn't give a damn about the religion or tribe of people he works with.

I still wonder how the decades old violence in Southern Kaduna is heaped on Elrufai, who governed less than 10% of the period. Imagine citing unleased shops as a reason Elrufai failed? Is Kaduna innocuous from the general economic downturn in other states? The roads that you claimed Elrufai built in 'muslim' areas, are they not used by christians? Why didn't you mention that he built roads in the so-called chrristian areas too?

We have to learn to be fair. Governance is not a matter of black and white. Don't just paintbrush someone as if he's overall a total failure

Elrufai performed incredibly in urban infrastructure, schools and health centres. However, I think his approach to renewal of markets was too aggressive and ill thought. If I were the one at the helm, I'll make sure most occupants of those shops get the new ones. But overall, Elrufai performed well.

If anyone have questions, I'm ready to answer from my vantage position.

The leader of them patapata is missing in the LIST-MAIMALA BUNI of Yobe State

SoNature:
I have said it several times. Implement true federalism. Unbundle the national grid nonsense.

Every state should look for means to generate power or buy from a neighbouring state.

How can states in faraway North be supplying power to the south when the south has gas in abundance?

Research before spewing spurious assertions. Hydropower is just about 20% contribution to Nigeria's total electricity generation. The rest us generated via natural gas fired power plants

whitejs:
What should I do to break out?

I can't give a speech in public.

I blank out at times when trying to express myself.

Also rapid heartbeat...

I feel more relaxed when alone.

For public speaking,practice makes perfect. I'll urge to join toastmasters club around you. You'll be tranformed if you put in the dedication

justmi1:
This is me, I have been battling depression because of this. I'm 34, I dread speaking in the public. I have attended public speaking classes to no avail ( I stopped going when it was getting practical). I avoided speaking in class till I graduated. I have never had a girlfriend that I toasted myself. I used to be a chronic mastubator, I'm trying to overcome that. Many times I wish I could end it all. I feel worhless, I'm always alone, being amongst people scare me. I always feel awkward and ashamed. The irony of it all is I do my own business and It's going well. I don't have friends. It's difficult to make friends with me as I always appear to be frowning. I know one day I would have the courage to end it all.

Tackle masturbation first. It's a confidence killer. Join the Nairaland no fap community, I read they are breaking records on that

This thing called introversion is a spectrum. Someone whom you think is extroverted will claim to be otherwise. For me sha, if introversion is scaled on 0 to 100, I'll be at least 70

FreeStuffsNG:
The Islamic countries topping the list there is a special kind of divorce as practiced in Islam and not like we have in regular courts in non-Islamic countries.
I will love a teaching on Islamic divorce posted on one Jumat day here on Nairaland. It will help us understand why the Arab nations will have a high number yet may be different from how we know divorce is practiced elsewhere.

Though I have been away from nairaland and vowed never to come back again but I was pulled back just for this moment by some retired military officers friends. As usual, I have to borrow this account to use.

NAPTU2 , Ruwan Yaro is not Amariya. His Royal Highness Alfred Papapreye Diete-Spiff as a Navy Commander and Governor of old Rivers State acquired a Yacht - Ogina Bereton which was for official duties. It later became Ruwan Yaro. There are many falsehoods written about Ruwan Yaro and Amariya on Social media just as you do on your write up and most people with Information have no time as some people are only after false information.

You said in 1987 Babangida used NNS Aradu (Nigeria's Flagship) for fleet review to give impression that Babangida never used Presidential Yacht. For your information, Babangida used Presidential Yacht all through his tenure. Even when he relocated to Abuja, the Presidential Yacht (Amariya) was under presidency but operated by Nigerian Navy just like Presidential Airfleet are under Air force.

The Presidential Yacht (Amariya) was designed by a renowned Naval Architect - Engr N. V Ozobia the first CEO of Nigerdock, Snake Island, Amariya was at Snake Island for years under a Naval detachment until it was brought to Olokun naval base.

Personally, I witnessed Babangida using this Yacht severally.

NAPTU2 don't confuse people with falsehoods, Ruwan Yaro is not what became Amariya (Presidential Yacht). Ruwan Yaro was Ogina Bereton a yacht bought by a Navy Commander as old Rivers State governor.If a SOJA or Airforce officer had been appointed as Old Rivers State governor instead of Navy Commander Diette-Spiff he wouldn't have bought the Yacht because that is not his professional core area. Ruwan Yaro was used as training ships for cadets.

Personally, for years, I entered both Ruwan Yaro and Amariya and anybody can tell you the survey, security and other electronics are not the same. Even without light (in darkness), I can walk or move in both Ruwan Yaro and Amariya because for years I entered both vesseis before decommissioning.

All the opposition to Navy acquisition of a modern Yacht is because of Tinubu because of Lagos. All the ships you mentioned as alternative to presidential yacht are just the blabbing of noise makers who don't know much. It is not the present CNS who made arrangements for the replacement of Amariya. There is no need for the Navy explaining anything again.

Lagos State or Ogun State or Ondo State can individually acquire the Yacht for the Navy.

Note: babaolofin will not read your response or come back here. Nairaland moderator can delete the post as usual. Thanks.

You can make your corrections without castigating the OP. The insights, from you and Naptu, are all appreciated

Una don find trouble. Nigerians will turn your country to their second home.

It has been visa free for Nigerians sha. Rwanda is not a place for someone to do anyhowness

bonnyhope:
Citizens are to be blamed more

They drop refuse anyhow even in the drain lines

I diasgree. Same citizens who litter indiscriminately, don't do such when they visit military barracks. Because they know that there are punitive consequences.

Mehn. Lagos, nay Nigeria, is too dirty. It is the fault of all of us, though the govt takes the biggest blame.

This is the most stupid thread in the history of niaraland.

No be fight na. Go an marry.

MXrep:
I thought Chindo is a native name for north East minority tribes. Is it an Islamic name?

It's not an Islamic name, but a cultural (Hausa) name. The name is usually given to someone who has additional fingers/toes i.e polydactyly

Abagworo:
The problem bedeviling Nigeria is democracy. Don't get me wrong Democracy is good but no nation can develop with our expensive type of democracy which lacks direction. Abacha I've always maintained is the best President Nigeria ever had hence the media brigandage and international conspiracy against him powered by enemies of Nigeria. He was not the one who annulled June 12 election but many people alive tiday including my own children associate him with it because the media made it so. Oil actually sold for as low as 11 DPB and his major problem was the Abiola mandate which he didn't annul.

I have same opinion on Nigerian democracy. We'll never have strong institution if we continue with it.

NAC1666:
What about Bauchi and Gombe state,I thought they are oil producing state.

They have the oil and gas reserves. But they are yet to start production

Baba Naptu, thank you for all you do here. I hope one day Seun will recognise and reward you for always feeding us with palatable historic nuggets
