Blue3k: Buhari has no power to veto Constitutional amendments logically speaking. Every amendment is passed with 2/3 majority of NASS and majority of states with 2/3 majority in those legislatures. Only an idiot would not pay the cops they'll just not work or protect you.
Princedapace: Oga, blame Nigeria politicians. They are the biggest enemies of the country.
but the people are dancing to their tunes......what does it take for a politician to rile up everybody? yet a vast majority don't see past these manipulations.
That is why you would hear them say "ipob boys" "die in the lagoon" "jihadists" people are simply being programmed to a certain narrative. Unfortunately very few people see fellow Nigerians first as human beings before adding the ethnic and religious coverings.
Lastly it is funny when I see the hate being propagated towards Muslims because of Boko haram and in my mind I think "These people -presumably christians - actually read the passage on the good Samaritan"
iampeterben: Dominican singer, Nfasis, got married in a T-shirt and ripped jean shorts and this has made him go viral.
Not only was he so casually dressed for his big day, he also wore a straight face in all the photos.
On the other hand, his wife, Diana Vargas de Garcia, was fully dressed in a wedding gown with a veil and flowers.
Their daughters, who served as bridesmaids, were also dressed to the nines.
Diana shared a video of her husband's wedding entrance and added in the caption: "At least you should have worn a tie."
Nfasis and his wife have been together for years and they have two daughters. They are expecting a third child and Nfasis said on Facebook that it'll be another girl.
Below are photos from his wedding and reactions from Facebook users who had a problem with his outfit and straight face.
This is foolish talk. FG should as well distribute the state's allocation to residents rather than the governor since he has passed on his responsibilities
Bettykeys: They are blatantly telling their host that they are animals therefore no rules in the jungle even if they destroy farms or kill farmers.
Animals in human skins.
No more nomadic herding in d south
#SouthernNigeriaMustUnite&Progress
This is not entirely true. He did mention that those who destroy farms or kill should be prosecuted and made to face the law.
Trying to be as unbiased as I can, I realise that he did make some points
Banning open grazing is within the rights of the governors. However, banning it outrightly is kind of harsh. Reason being that they should be given time to transition out of these states to where they plan to settle.
The funny thing is that in the end it all boils down to failure of Government who have refused to address this lingering issue for many years. The negligence has culminated to what we have now.
Finally, this leaders should stop telling their followers to disobey the law that governs the states they reside in.
SmartPolician: Beautiful edifice! The day we will restructure this country, Niger Delta states will become extremely rich and their governors veryyyyyyyy influential. I'm looking forward to that new Nigeria!
lol.....what they can't do now, they certainly won't do later.
Neurotika: Of all the pressing problems of this country worth drawing Government's action to, this one chose hustling minors soiling her windscreen. Interesting times we live in....
if you don't see a problem with "hustling minors" then you have a problem
Newsmic: Big Brother Naija star, Alex has stated that a day will come when she will flog kids who forcefully clean cars in traffic then leave a scratch when you don't pay them, IgbereTV reports.
The former Big Brother Naija reality star took to Twitter to ask the government to take the kids off the streets.
She added that she used to make excuses for the kids but it's getting out of hand.
ahiboilandgas: what about employee that are Christians , atheists are other why will they contribute. Can Muslim contribute to build churches , shrines etc.
they are rebuilding a market not a mosque.
I find an issue with forcing people to donate from their salaries.
Ibadanpikin: I am a 31 year old man i have never been in a relationship with any lady talkless of sex. I stammered a litttle bit so i find it very hard to toast a lady. Any time i try talking to a girl i begin to stammer and my heart beats fast, its so embarrassing, some of my friends think i am impotent or gay. How will i marry, guys how do u do it?
Vaughanlanrewaj: He should attack the message not the messenger. I doubt he would have seen anything wrong in the statement if he is a Northerner.
Most politicians including him are always playing to the gallery instead of enriching the debate constructively and intellectually to find a permanent solution.
Why will you unilaterally impose a blanket ban on the herdsmen including those who are law abiding and not see it as akin to banning spare parts dealers in the north, knowing that it is dominated by southerners who mostly sell fake spare parts that still take away lives?
This is a great opportunity to resolve this age long problem and the leaders for and against open grazing should think as patriots and look beyond their regions alone. There are herdsmen in interior communities where open grazing has not led to problems and when you ban open grazing by fiat, to what extent will it affect the small holders who can't afford to start a ranch immediately? If they all quit being herdsmen and become bandits, the society will still pay for it. So I expect serious intelligent suggestions on this issue abeg. I know that bigotry and hatred will prevent some people to look at the big picture but this is time for the patriots.
surprised you are asking for an intellectual discourse if you saw nothing wrong with the statement in the first place.
While it might be hard for herdsmen to adjust to a new way of life suddenly, I believe this is a case of "first to do"
Let's assume you have a house without a front door and someone carries animals into said house that trample on your furniture and destroy a thing or two. Let's assume you forgave them the first two times. By the third time when you begin to notice a pattern, the most logical course of action is to fix a door. That door you have just fixed is the ban imposed by southern governors.
Herdsmen are nomads which means it might be difficult to adjust to that life of being in one place. Unfortunately owners of the land that have suffered from their troubles have decided in the best interest of their people.
As for the good herdsmen unfortunately they kept quiet while their kinsmen carried out evil and participated (by not reporting).
On a final note, the governors did not say Fulanis can't come southward to carry out legit business or even relocate. What they are against is their movement from place to place towing animals with them traveling aimlessly destroying the lives and hard work of others.
The man's statement was thoughtless or on the other hand "thoughtful" depending on his mindset while uttering said statement. The example he gave shows what he thinks about a certain section of this country. This further gives credence to the cries of marginalisation. Buhari's appointments has been rubbish and I won't be surprised to see that some of those in office are behind most of the nefarious activities being carried out.
Nothing surprises me any more in this country.
The other day, it was the one that released a statement with the words "biafra boys".....These same men will go back and incite the masses against their fellow countrymen.
TRADELYN: This is foolishness at its peak. Now, I understand why many Nigerians don't have hope in this country. Most Nigerian leaders are very incompetent. They just go into politics in order to improve their social lives.
Can you compare the security system in UK and USA with Nigeria? But you are using these countries as examples. What a shame!
How would it be known that ransom was paid where security agencies are unable to rescue victims or identify the criminals?
Lately, it's alleged that many state governments have been paying ransom secretly to bandits. It's better to save lives and lose money than do otherwise.
Until the security agencies are able to handle the worsening Insecurity in Nigeria, government at all levels must continue to pay ransom to secure the release of innocent victims.
well said our politicians have become experts in twisting narratives.....taking what suits their argument and deliberately forgetting it is part of a whole body. This is similar to what pastor's do
Mikester: [color=navy] There are a lot of reasons for that but the most common one is low IQ and sexual perversion [/color]I am sure you know Solomon was the wisest man. Read up about him.
[color=navy]and why will a man of understanding be ravished with strange women?
What exactly is to gain from such risk?
Haven't you seen homes wreck and men reduced to nothing by means of mere sex with strange ladies?
Only intelligent men see these dangers and prevent it but ignorant and simple men go on and regret afterwards.
seborrhic: Despite one claiming to have a first class degree in Architecture and the other claiming to have completed secondary school,despite his obvious inability to produce a certificate to that effect,there is no difference in the incompetence,clannishness and bigotry being exhibited by El-Rufai and Buhari respectively. Two glorified Islamic fundamentalists displaying their incompetence for all to see.
So your point is what exactly?.....The Governor said he sacked workers because it is unsustainable to spend that much on salaries. What that means is that the civil service is bloated and generally not productive (the work they do is not generating enough to pay them)
That is the issue that should be addressed not a discussion on certificate..... because if he vacates the office tomorrow, whoever comes in will face the same issue.
Guyman02: Another paid post on FP, this guy should move forward and stop the desperation to spite his ex whom he lied to about his then ongoing affair with his current wife. Some of us castigated Tonto when she was crying that her husband was sleeping with his 'manager' which has now been proven that she was right all through and we were wrong. Tonto is a loud mouth but she is not a liar, it's time to let her be.
where is the proof that he slept with her while being married to Tonto?
Psych412: This is a very serious issue. Spending on a lady doesn't give you the right to ask her for sex. This needs to stop. Taking a girl out for a date doesn't have to be sex in return.
Please let's try to be responsible
There is nothing wrong in asking for sex before during or after a date.
Like the great Greek philosopher Lagbajanicus said
"Na my right to ask o, na your right whether you go gree"
Bola146: Not at all, you can't cheat on someone you love. The love and trust will always make you happy to always be with your spouse. Anyone who cheat doesn't love the spouse
well you can. Especially if you don't enjoy having sex with the person, but enjoy doing other things.
Just like it is possible to not love someone and not cheat on the person.
There are ways to curb this.....e.g if the partner is in on the act "swingers" but it is not conventional at least not yet.
envoymedia: Daddy Freeze To Church Members: The Church Should Be People's 'Plan B'; Save Your Tithe To Fund Your 'Plan B'
Daddy Freeze has advised church members to start saving their tithes and offerings towards funding their own "plan B" since the tithe they pay to their pastors is being used to fund their pastor's "plan B", IgbereTV reports.
Daddy Freeze stated this on his Instagram handle while reacting to Pastor Paul Adefarasin's advice to his members to have an alternative plan to leave the country due to insecurity.
Daddy Freeze stateed that the scriptures clearly instructs shepherds to lay down their life for their sheep. He said the church today isn't doing that, instead "in time of war, they remind you that you're on your own and advise you to sort yourself out with a plan B."
Kings999: the atheist should hear me now, stop being decieved by scientist. the car, the house, the beautiful things we do in nowadays life, the idea was giving to us from our creator. a scientist who said there is no God, go to the space and he saw how everything was arranged, how the moon, the star, the sun, the planet was arranged and all of them are working perfectly. he asked himself who would have arranged this things and how did this things came into existence.
this is like you scattered your house and went out and your door is locked, you came back and realize everything has been arranged. a wise man will believe that someone arranged the house despite he didn't see him but a fool will always have a doubt in his heart that the door was locked because he didn't see anyone arranging the house. this is the life of atheist they are the foolish one because they did not see that's why they don't believe. jesus said blessed are those that did not see but they believe for they shall enter the kingdom of God. I ask atheist again, who created the planet, the moon, the sun and everything. everyone knows that human being cannot creat the sun and the moon. atheist believe in God now and Jesus or you will die in your sins.
Is heaven better than earth? Would you like to go to heaven today? Rather than remain on earth?
