it baffles me why a sane president would keep givin a nod to persons indicted with the highest cases of corruption allegation in the country simply because they pledge allegiance to his (GEJ's) personal ambition and interest, rather than loyalty to the nation.

Merry Christmass Nairaland!

Oshiobaba is spot-on!
PDP need some time of rest from misruling Nigeria.

Joehannibal:
She will soon cry.

Work on not being stupıd.

Baddestguyp:
mine is 4 wtf is this

You mean 140 topics were added to front page within 2hours?

He who laughs last...

What has Metuh, Abati and Okukpe got to say about this?

NOTHING!

Arrests should be made ASAP.

Truckpusher:
Na who come like this comment na?

Your fellow TANkid.

pendy179:
I guess you have answered yourself with the YES. Did you see Afghanis on the street demanding sack of the police chief before he resigned?

JonaTAN appointed Baden, Amosu and others, in a good clime Badeh ought to have resigned by now. Even people abroad knew BH was going to attack Mubi for years now, they have tried to take the town 3ce this year yet despite huge budgetary provisions and mobilisation of man and materials the town (his town) fell without a single exchange of fire.

When Iraqi soldiers ran away from Mosul and tikrit without taking on ISIS in May, all the army top commanders in charge of the two formations were jailed, and the army chief retired. That's being proactive and taking action for failure. Who has been punished for the lost of Gwoza, Bama, Michika. mubi, Obi askira, and other places except rank and files accused of mutiny and indiscipline.

Ngwakwe:
Is Sanusi a Military personnel? For Azazi and Ihejirika the answer is resounding YES

You don't sack the best for a nobody.

Why have those who called for Azazi and Ihejirika's sack suddenly gone dumb?

I just see that Hypocrisy won't allow common sense to prevail in our polity hence it is becoming obvious that we will have to live with this Insurgency until a time we become united in sense of purpose.

Who is "The Best", and who is "A Nobody"?
I'm sure you know that the best is determined by his results.

The fact remains that our beloved country has lost a number of territories and experienced an unprecedented level of carnage and insecurity under the watch of these priviledged opportunists whom you regard as the best.
Even in corporations (which are less complex and less critical than governance), people are forced to do the honourable thing or even fired when they under-perform.
There are laid-down principles and strategies for every human society which prevents a ripple effect of the failures of a few individuals on the entire society. History is rich with such instances and ours must not be different because of political expediencies.

Prince202020:
This is Nigeria, we are black and different, we don't imitate anyone

Color is not the issue. Rather, it's the personality of the individuals.
Our country is currently over-supplied with lots of characters bereft of honor, integrity, morality and discipline. They enjoy political patronage from a far less patriotic and principled ruler.

"A people that values its priviledges above its principles soon loses both."

Kabul police chief resigns after 3 foreigners killed in latest attack

KABUL, Afghanistan –  The South African head of an international aid group, his two children and an Afghan were killed in an attack on a guesthouse in Kabul, an official said Sunday, as the Afghan capital's police chief resigned amid a spike in deadly violence.

Police chief Gen. Mohammed Zahir told reporters that the four were killed in the attack the day before, revising an earlier toll. He gave no ages for the children, and did not identify the organization.

Zahir said one of the three attackers wore a police uniform. The attack was the second in as many days on guesthouses occupied by foreigners.

Zahir's spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai confirmed later that Zahir had resigned his post, without providing further details.

Kabul has seen eight deadly suicide attacks against high-profile targets in the past 16 days, one of the most violent periods in the capital in years. In recent days, four foreigners -- including an employee of the British embassy -- have been killed, and dozens of Afghan civilians have been killed and wounded.

The attacks point to a still-potent Taliban insurgency, and have raised concerns about whether Afghan security forces can protect the country after the U.S. and NATO officially conclude their 13-year combat mission on Dec. 31.

The Interior Ministry has launched a public awareness campaign to encourage Kabul residents to help prevent attacks, said the ministry's spokesman Sediq Sediqqi.

"We are requesting our people to cooperate with their security forces in identifying suspicious people in their areas and preventing terrorist attacks," he said.

The fact that you even had the courage to post this rubbish after typing it tells me youre either schizo or you have a mild drug problem.

You can rage and curse as much as your instincts leads you. Such intolerance is not new among islamists.

The fact remains that your religion promotes, and thrives on violence.

NOMINA RUTRUM RUTRUM!!!

OP abeg call Mubi by its name only. That Boko haram Madinatu Baldadash is offensive.

You can name your mosque with those hostile islamic names associated with bloodshed.

Not even sambisa forest will be free for barbarism.

adebisiema:
All see all PDP senators, defecting to APC.
Sign of good things to come.

Who wants to be identified with the retrogressive Goatluck and his TANkid looters?

The owner is anti-opposition, he appointed Moderators with ultra-bias against anything anti-GEJ to "do the job".

It is safe to conclude that seun is not favorably disposed to a democratic Nigeria, or he his simply oblivious of its ideals, while he keeps feeding fat from the patronage he currently enjoys from the retrogressive PDP and its clueless overlords.

I say this because the existence of opposition party is the main feature of democracy.

TANkid preacher!

They should have held their peace and allowed what happened in Ekiti to play out in the National Assembly, right?

By their sermons we shall know them.

True said, Oritsejafor.

Nuff respect!

Atiku represents CHANGE. Change for Nigeria!!

I'm begining to like this Atiku. He appears more pragmatic and more refined than Buhari, who seems much like a dark horse.

APC 2015!

Why You Should Never Give Up On Love

“To those who have given up on love: I say, “Trust life a little bit.” ~ Maya Angelou

You know what I really love? LOVE! I love LOVE!

The way I see it, there ain’t no bigger and more powerful force in the whole universe than LOVE itself.

Love makes the world go round. It’s the glue that hold everything together. Love is what we are made of. We are made of love and made to love. Our true nature is love and by trying to move away from love, by saying that we want to give up on love, we slowly but surely move away from who we truly are. We move away from our true nature, drifting away and feeling more and more disoriented, disconnected and confused.

The biggest mistake anyone can make is to give up on love.

How can you give up on something that’s in you? How can you give up on something that is YOU?

By giving up on love, you give up on yourself and you give up on life. Without love there’s nothing left. Nothing worth having, nothing worth doing…

You often hear people saying things like:

“I’m giving up on love.

Love hurts.

I don’t ever want to love again. I’m too afraid I’ll get hurt again.

This love messed me up and I’m done with it. I’m done with love!”

We’re so ignorant. We have no clue what love is. We think that love is the source of suffering, but is that what love really is?

Believe it or not, it’s not love that hurts. It’s not love that’s causing us to feel pain and heartbreak, but rather our attachment to how things should or shouldn’t be. It’s the ideas we have in our head about what love should be like and about how relationships should manifest.

Most of us are in Controlling Relationships, not Loving Relationships. We play God with one another, controlling and pretending to know what’s best for each other and we deprive ourselves of the freedom that each of us wants and needs. Instead of allowing one another to express ourselves and live our lives in the way our Souls intended for us to live our lives, freely and authentically, we get in the way. We interfere and influence each other’s destiny, not in a positive, but rather in a negative, and at times destructive way.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.” ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

It’s not love that hurts. It’s not love that you should give up on. For love is only interested in loving. Love is not interested in controlling or trying to change or cage the other person. Love only wants to love, for that is all that love knows how to do.

If you were hurt and injured emotionally because of a relationship you have been in, know that love had nothing to do with it. And know that it’s not love that you should give up on but rather your attachment and the many toxic and distorted ideas you have about love.

“He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy.” ~ Chanakya

We confuse love with all kind of toxic and distorted things, claiming that we know what love is all about when in fact we know little or nothing about it.

People who have never even glimpsed the realm of the the infinite vastness of love go around claiming and pretending to know what love is really all about. Giving love a bad name, claiming and affirming that love love hurts and that love causes pain.

“Love liberates. It doesn’t just hold—that’s ego. Love liberates. It doesn’t bind. Love says, ‘I love you. I love you if you’re in China. I love you if you’re across town. I love you if you’re in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I’d like to have your arms around me. I’d like to hear your voice in my ear. But that’s not possible now, so I love you. Go.’” ~ Dr. Maya Angelou

When you enter a relationship with all kind of expectations, wanting the other person to be this or that, and hoping your “love” will never come to an end, you can’t help but suffer. And your suffering will never come from love, but rather from your attachment to how things should be and your attachment to the other person.

Things go bad. Relationships end, but that’s not the end of the world and it surely shouldn’t be the end of your loving life.

It’s so important to understand that life is yours and yours alone. And just as you are a separate entity who wants to be and feel free, so is your partner. He does not owe you anything just as you do owe him anything. If your Souls came together, they didn’t came together for eternity, but only for a while. And since you cannot know for how long you’re meant to be together, the whole idea is to treasure each moment you spend next to each other and to love one another truly, purely and freely. No controlling, no bonding, no caging and no attachment.

If you try to cage each other and if you try to cling onto one another, thinking that you should be together for eternity, your Souls will rebel against it and they will try their best to escape from the bondage they are in. And the more you cling onto each other, the more pain you will bring upon yourselves.

Why do you think so many people have regrets about marriage? Because marriage has become a way to cage and hold each other “hostage”. Marriage has became a way of holding the person next to us in bondage, taking away their freedom and their right to be the wonderful, unique, loving and free being they were born to be.

Love isn’t about holding onto the person next to you. Love is about freeing the one you love, allowing him/her to be, to do and to go wherever their Souls needs them to go.

So you see, it’s not love that you should give up on. But rather your attachment to the many toxic ideas that are causing you to think that love can hurt you.

Always remember that love can never hurt you, for love knows only how to love. That’s all there is to love. Love is made to love and never to hurt or cause pain to anyone. So love yourself with all your might and love those you come in contact with, not necessary because they deserve it, but because you do.

Never ever give up on love and love will not give up on you. Love is what makes the world go round, it’s the glue that holds us together. A life without love is a life empty of meaning.

Do you think love hurts or is it just the attachment to our ideas on how things should be and how our relationships should unfold that cause us pain and suffering?

karlmax2:
which order from which court?

Edo PDP and its "lawmakers" is a classic example of brazen disobedience of court order.
Can you imagine a situation where a politician boldly threaten to "deal with" a bailiff for serving him a court summon live in front of the camera, and another blatantly saying, "I disobey. Go and do your worst!" In front of camera and police, and nothing happens?

That's the kind of impunity and arrogance common wit the pdp in Edo, and Nigeria. Sadly, they are aided by the police.

I thought they would disobey the court order as they always do.
