Life is all about the money

In my opinion I disagree. Life is all about Christ

People don't notice the "who has empowered a lot of people at the grassroot" part but they are busy abusing.

Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter,
President Clinton, President Bush,
President Obama, fellow Americans, and
people of the world: Thank you.
We, the citizens of America, are now joined
in a great national effort to rebuild our
country and to restore its promise for all
of our people.

Together, we will determine the course of
America, and the world, for many, many
years to come.

We will face challenges. We will confront
hardships. But we will get the job done.
Every four years, we gather on these steps
to carry out the orderly and peaceful
transfer of power, and we are grateful to
President Obama and First Lady Michelle
Obama for their gracious aid throughout
this transition. They have been magnificent.
Today's ceremony, however, has very special
meaning. Because today we are not merely
transferring power from one administration
to another, or from one party to another -
but we are transferring power from
Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you,
the people.

For too long, a small group in our nation's
capital has reaped the rewards of
government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished - but the people did
not share in its wealth.
Politicians prospered - but the jobs left, and
the factories closed.
The establishment protected itself, but not
the citizens of our country.
Their victories have not been your victories;
their triumphs have not been your triumphs;
and while they celebrated in our nation's
capital, there was little to celebrate for
struggling families all across our land.

That all changes - starting right here, and
right now, because this moment is your
moment: it belongs to you.

It belongs to everyone gathered here today
and everyone watching all across America.
This is your day. This is your celebration.
And this, the United States of America, is
your country.

What truly matters is not which party
controls our government, but whether our
government is controlled by the people.
January 20th, 2017, will be remembered as
the day the people became the rulers of
this nation again.

The forgotten men and women of our
country will be forgotten no longer.
Everyone is listening to you now.
You came by the tens of millions to become
part of a historic movement the likes of
which the world has never seen before.
At the centre of this movement is a crucial
conviction: that a nation exists to serve its
citizens.

Americans want great schools for their
children, safe neighbourhoods for their
families, and good jobs for themselves.
These are the just and reasonable demands
of righteous people and a righteous public.
But for too many of our citizens, a different
reality exists: Mothers and children
trapped in poverty in our inner cities;
rusted-out factories scattered like
tombstones across the landscape of our
nation; an education system, flush with cash,
but which leaves our young and beautiful
students deprived of all knowledge; and the
crime and the gangs and the drugs that have
stolen too many lives and robbed our
country of so much unrealised potential.
This American carnage stops right here and
stops right now.

We are one nation - and their pain is our
pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their
success will be our success. We share one
heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.
The oath of office I take today is an oath of
allegiance to all Americans.

For many decades, we've enriched foreign
industry at the expense of American
industry;
Subsidised the armies of other countries
while allowing for the very sad depletion
of our military;
We've defended other nations' borders while
refusing to defend our own;
And spent trillions and trillions of dollars
overseas while America's infrastructure
has fallen into disrepair and decay.

We've made other countries rich while the
wealth, strength, and confidence of our
country has dissipated over the horizon.
One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions and millions of American
workers that were left behind.
The wealth of our middle class has been
ripped from their homes and then
redistributed all across the world.
But that is the past. And now we are
looking only to the future.

We assembled here today are issuing a new
decree to be heard in every city, in every
foreign capital, and in every hall of power.
From this day forward, a new vision will
govern our land.

From this day forward, it's going to be only
America First, America First.
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on
immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made
to benefit American workers and American
families.

We must protect our borders from the
ravages of other countries making our
products, stealing our companies, and
destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to
great prosperity and strength.
I will fight for you with every breath in my
body - and I will never, ever let you down.
America will start winning again, winning
like never before.

We will bring back our jobs. We will bring
back our borders. We will bring back our
wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.
We will build new roads, and highways, and
bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and
railways all across our wonderful nation.
We will get our people off of welfare and
back to work - rebuilding our country with
American hands and American labour.
We will follow two simple rules: Buy
American and hire American.

We will seek friendship and goodwill with
the nations of the world - but we do so with
the understanding that it is the right of all
nations to put their own interests first.
We do not seek to impose our way of life on
anyone, but rather to let it shine as an
example - we will shine - for everyone to
follow.

We will reinforce old alliances and form
new ones - and unite the civilised world
against radical Islamic terrorism, which we
will eradicate completely from the face of
the Earth.

At the bedrock of our politics will be a
total allegiance to the United States of
America, and through our loyalty to our
country, we will rediscover our loyalty to
each other.

When you open your heart to patriotism,
there is no room for prejudice.
The Bible tells us: "How good and pleasant
it is when God's people live together in
unity."
We must speak our minds openly, debate our
disagreements honestly, but always pursue
solidarity.
When America is united, America is totally
unstoppable.
There should be no fear - we are protected,
and we will always be protected.
We will be protected by the great men and
women of our military and law enforcement
and, most importantly, we will be protected
by God.

Finally, we must think big and dream even
bigger.
In America, we understand that a nation is
only living as long as it is striving.
We will no longer accept politicians who
are all talk and no action - constantly
complaining but never doing anything about
it
.
The time for empty talk is over.
Now arrives the hour of action.
Do not allow anyone to tell you that it
cannot be done. No challenge can match the
heart and fight and spirit of America.
We will not fail. Our country will thrive
and prosper again.

We stand at the birth of a new millennium,
ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to
free the Earth from the miseries of disease,
and to harness the energies, industries and
technologies of tomorrow.

A new national pride will stir our souls, lift
our sights, and heal our divisions.
It is time to remember that old wisdom our
soldiers will never forget: that whether we
are black or brown or white, we all bleed
the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy
the same glorious freedoms, and we all
salute the same great American Flag.
And whether a child is born in the urban
sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains
of Nebraska, they look up at the same night
sky, they fill their heart with the same
dreams, and they are infused with the
breath of life by the same almighty
Creator.

So to all Americans, in every city near and
far, small and large, from mountain to
mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear
these words:
You will never be ignored again.
Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams,
will define our American destiny. And your
courage and goodness and love will forever
guide us along the way.

Together, we will make America strong
again.
We will make America wealthy again.
We will make America proud again.
We will make America safe again.
And, yes, together, we will make America
great again.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless
America. Thank you. God bless America.

President Donald Trump's speech after taking the oath of office lasted approximately 16 minutes. Here is the full text: Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: Thank you.

‘MMM-Nigeria’, a community of mutual financial aid and donations, on Saturday donated relief materials worth N5 million to two Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in the Federal Capital Territory.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the gesture was part of the community’s humanitarian week tagged ‘MMM cares’ to mark its one year anniversary.

The Gwoza and Bama IDP Camp located in Durumi area and the New Kuchingoro IDP camp were the two beneficiaries of the relief materials.

Bags of rice, beans, garri, as well as cartoons of beverages and noodles, were some of the items donated by the group.

The group also donated clothing, drugs, and educational materials for the pupils among them.

Mr Seyi Bello, a Guilder in the ‘MMM Community’ said the donation was motivated by the desire of the group to affect the society positively, especially the less-privileged.

“We are marking our first year anniversary and we have decided to come and celebrate it with our brothers, mothers and children in the camp.

“As a community, we do not only provide help to our members, we also extend that to the larger society as part of our social responsibility.

“In these times of economic challenges, the IDPs are the ones that need help and support more than any other person; that is why we visited them today,” he said.

Bello explained that besides providing help and donations to its members, humanitarian service was a flagship programme of the group.

He said that the relief items were bought from free-will donations of members in their quest to touch lives positively.

He said: “The N5 million was raised from voluntary donations my members in the FCT.

“That is what defines us as a community of people providing financial help to each other on the principle of reciprocity and benevolence.

“In MMM there are no lenders and no debtors. One participant asks for help, another one helps.’’

Bello appealed to individuals, groups and corporate bodies to always remember the IDPs across Nigeria, since government alone would not be able to provide for them adequately.

“They are our brothers and sisters who have left the comfort of their homes and are now struggling for survival here.

“No matter how little, let us always extend a hand of help to them to complement what government and other donors are doing, “he urged.

Mr Enoch Yohanna, General Secretary of the IDP camp at New Kuchingoro, who received the items, expressed gratitude for the gesture which he described as `timely.’

“The Christmas season is very close; we thank MMM-Nigeria for bringing these items to us.

“We hope to share them satisfactorily among us for everybody to be happy and have a happy Christmas celebration, “he said.

NAN reports that the visit to the IDPs camps was preceded by a two-hour environmental sanitation by members of the group on Nyanya/Mararaba route, a suburb of the FCT.

Members of the group came out in their numbers to clear garbage from drainages and streets in the area. (NAN)

The Nigeria Labour Congress has
suspended the indefinite strike it
called to protest the increase in the
pump price of petrol from N86 and
N86.50k to N145.
The decision to suspend the strike was
taken at an emergency meeting of the
NLC National Executive Committee in
Abuja on Sunday.

The NEC also resolved to resume
negotiation with the government on the
issue of the increase in electricity
tariff and the 45 per cent increase in
the pump price of petrol.
The President of the NLC, Mr. Ayuba
Wabba, who read the communique of
the meeting to the newsmen in Abuja
on Sunday, did not give a specific date
for the expected talks with the
government on the two contentious
issues.

The communique he jointly signed with
the General Secretary, Dr. Peter Ozo-
Eson, was silent on the date for the
commencement of the negotiation.
Wabba said the NLC had to suspend
the strike because of the intervention
of prominent Nigerians, especially the
National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, and others.

The NLC President told journalists
that it was not possible for the NLC
to ignore the intervention of
prominent Nigerians who were also
concerned about the issue at stake.
He stated that the suspension of the
strike was not informed by the
comment of the Minister of Labour and
Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, that the
Federal Government could only
resume talks with the NLC when the
strike was suspended.

Wabba added, “We said we have
suspended due to the intervention of
those who had intervened. It is left for
them to invite and create a platform to
discuss that.
“It is not the Minister of Labour we
are talking about, my friend; we are
talking about the leaders of the party
who came to the NLC secretariat.
“Or do you think we should just sweep
that under the carpet; we cannot sweep
all that under the carpet. So, when we
are talking about people who
intervened, we should look at the fact
that they have also shown concern on
the issue.”

While reading from the communique, Wabba said the action was suspended with immediate effect after due consultations with the various constituents of the congress.
He stated that the NLC was committed to dialogue in accordance with standard principles of representation.
The NLC president added, “In
consideration of the above, NEC after
due consultation with its constituents,
resolved to suspend, with immediate
effect, the action it commenced on
Wednesday, May 18, 2016. The action is
thus hereby suspended.
“Congress will resume negotiations
with government on the twin issues of
the hike in electricity tariff and an
increase in the pump price of
petroleum products and any other
issue that may arise thereof.

“The Congress will continue to resist
wrong legislation, policies and
programmes and will always act in the
best interest of Nigerians as it remains
the only pan-Nigerian organisation not
affected by religion, region, creed,
partisanship or primordial sentiments.
“The Congress urges the government
to play by the rules in its engagement
with its constituent parts,
stakeholders and non-state actors as
proof of its commitment to deepening
our democracy and also in
acknowledgment of the well-worn
credo that what goes around, comes
around.”

I admire your crib sir, I'm sorry I don't have a colour to suggest to you but if you contact an experienced painter I'm sure you will find answers.

According to my neighbour, this creature was murdered in Ikot Ibiok, a village in Akwa Ibom State.

Whizzdom:
Yes. The Federal Government should find a way to sustain / better the lives of people.

We all know that Buhari alone cant fix this country overnight, the man (Buhari) is trying is best, but Nigerians needs to be sustained.

And the stupid NLC and TUC should call off the already planned strike that yield nothing but more pain to Nigeria's Economy.

Instead of them to be protesting for the increment of minimum wage from N18K to N90k, they are beating around the bush, they know what should be done, but what they will steal and cheap bribes wont let them see it.

God will help us.

Thanks bro. Their protest should be on increment in minimum wage

The Bubu himself

WoW! Aks, hmmm.

Hahahahahahahaha, laughing boisterously

berrystunn:
Na your face be this Now I understand the glasse

I deh tell you. Na wetin I deh check ever since

donphilopus:
Who will use the roads Nairalanders, what name should we call this guy for spewing this hocus-pocus? In March, a Minister died in Abuja-Kaduna expressway. After a month, 6 Medical Doctors or so from Ekiti still died on that spot. And just some few days back, some guys from Kano died in a road accident. Should we blame all those drivers? Are the roads good enough? Since you said we don't need road, I suggest your State Government untie all the roads leading to your community let's see how people would survive there. Think with your brain abeg!!

We also know how Jonathan empowered some Youths during his administration. Sure-P comes to mind. Who were the beneficiaries? Abeg joor. .Stop all this sh1t abeg. 2016 budget has come to stay!

Please don't be blinded by sentiments, those accidents you mention were not caused by bad roads. In the minister's case, the tired pulled off while the other one was as a result of the careless herdsman with his cows. I'm not a wailer nor a zombie, let's let go the fight. Although GEJ was not flawless but let us appreciate his little effort. Buhari is now our President and so let's support him and wish him well.

If Buhari performs better than Gej, it would not be so because he is better off than Gej rather it would be because he learned from the mistakes of the past governments. I'm sorry if I have insulted in any way, thanks, one love.

Op don break my waist
