Oya nah. But make our leaders develop and invest in other sectors. That's the only way we can make money everywhere and not necessarily on oil alone. Moreover, one day will come and the hunted will hunt the hunter. our Niger Delay brothers may one day take over their own resource. We in the West should be able to make money from cocoa exportation and other agricultural produce. Our brothers in the north are not left out. Enough energy could be generated from the north and sold westward and to other regions.

Hmmmm.

Issokay.

Imagine. No 57.

Well, congrats to me. After numerous trials, my FTC appears on the front page. I pray my first to appear at any foreign embassy with Nigerian passport should be approved. Did I hear somebody say Amen?

This is pathetic!

Lagos—Barely 23 days to the inauguration of Lagos State governor-elect, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, Oba of Lagos, Rilwanu Akiolu I, yesterday, narrated how some of his relatives wanted the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate, Jimi Agbaje and not Ambode to succeed Fashola.
According to the monarch; “On May 14, 2014 when I first told all residents of Lagos that the next governor of the state will be Ambode, many didn’t believe me.

“I knew all the waters that have passed under the bridge, including my own blood relations, who without consulting me went with others to say that Bola Tinubu, Fashola and Oba Akiolu have pocketed Lagos, saying that this time, they will not allow that. And I told them that Jimi (Agbaje) will never be the governor. I still maintain it. There is no going back,” he added.

The Oba continued, “I have no doubt in my mind, with the cooperation and prayers of everyone, Ambode will perform very well. I told many people that Bola Tinubu planted the seed, Fashola came and watered the seed and it started germinating in geometrical progressions. We have just started.”
In his own speech, governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, yesterday, said the monthly Federal Allocation and the monthly Internally Generated Revenue, IGR, will not be enough to fund the Lagos 2015 budget of N489 billion.

The governor and the monarch spoke at the public policy lecture organised by the Institute of Directors, IoD and launch of the book edited by Mr. Sam Omatseye titled, ‘The Example: The Era of Babatunde Raji Fashola as Governor of Lagos State,’ in Lagos.

Fashola in his lecture titled, ‘My stewardship-Eight years of delivering excellence,’ said the number of migrants into the state daily has constantly increased its population.

Earlier, while explaining the reason for writing the book, Omatseye stated that the next generation would need answers to certain issues in the state and would want to know those who started the developmental work in the state.

He said “I felt that it was important that those people who saw it, who experienced it, worked and who were insiders were able to tell their stories and that was the reason why I started this project. I knew that about two or more years into his reign, people especially, his colleagues other governors started to see him as a kind of example. I started calling him the governor of example.”

Stephen Keshi has been appointed Nigeria coach for the third time after signing a two-year contract on Tuesday.
In his first spell he won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations but the deal was not renewed after the 2014 World Cup.
He later returned on a match-by-match deal, which ended in November after failure to reach the 2015 Nations Cup .
"It's a fresh start. We need the support of our fans, media and every Nigerian to return the team to where we truly belong," Keshi told BBC Sport.
"As a coach and former player I was also hurt that we failed to qualify for the last Nations Cup.

“
I remain confident that this time around we will see an improvement, change in attitude and positive results
”
Stephen Keshi
"To succeed we all need to come together as one because Nigeria belongs to us, this is not Stephen Keshi's team but our national team."
BBC Sport understands that Keshi has been set several targets and that his contract will be terminated if he does not meet them.
The 53-year-old was also required to sign a code of conduct and is expected to work with the Nigerian Football Federation technical committee.
Keshi, who also won the Nations Cup as a player with Nigeria in 1994, declined to comment on the contract details or the exit of his long-term assistant Daniel Amokachi.
Former Nigeria striker Amokachi has left his role with immediate effect and has been replaced by Salisu Yusuf.
Yusuf, who led Kano Pillars to the Nigerian title in 2008, has previously worked as assistant to former Nigeria coach Samson Siasia at both senior and U-20 levels.
As caretaker coach, Keshi endured a turbulent 2014, in which he was sacked by the NFF and only reinstalled after intervention from Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan.
His last two home matches in Abuja and Akwa Ibom were marred by a negative reaction from the public and Keshi has pleaded for the home supporters to be positive during the 2017 Nations Cup qualifiers.
The Super Eagles have been drawn in one of the toughest-looking groups, alongside seven-time champions Egypt, Tanzania and Chad.
"I understand we still have some disappointed people out there but our dedicated players deserve our encouragement and support," added Keshi.
"It doesn't matter where they play, these boys always give everything and we need to stand by them and the coaching crew.
"I remain confident that this time around we will see an improvement, change in attitude and positive results."

Sponsored OP.

OK na

Is don jazzy again.

Strategic planning has started in earnest.

I'll like to see Fayose impeached. Then others would learn from him. The man is uncouth and arrogant.

Nice write up.

He is a joke. He better go settle in house so he won't lose out completely.

That's interesting. He could have been part of the change movement but he betrayed Amaechi and co and began even abusing them. Now he has lost out completely. Betrayal doesn't pay in anyway.

Issorait sha.

They had always covertly supported Buhari. Anyways, same ni!

Na wah o. After that drama this morning.

The correct answer is A as shown in the red box.
