Most of us that have been following how these so-called insurgent group enhance their strategies every single day would definitely agree with Gen David mark on this very point he made. The Northerners feel they can hold the entire country to ransom by employing the so-called B.H. insurgency to facilitate the process of disintegration without knowing. Come to think of it, the marriage between the Southern and Northern Protectorate even favour them the more. We're tired of associating with these evil minded people. It is just that, most of our Political leaders lack the political will to come up with what they have in mind about this forceful marriage. To me; the concept of "ONE NIGERIA" only exist on pages of News paper and perhaps in the afternoon when both side are together just to consciously emphasis on their expected gains. We must define our political future now!

I'm glad good things are beginning to emanate from Nigeria. Atleast, for thinking aright, the Almighty would give you the rightful thought to complete this project. I believe you can, Bro! Good luck to you, fellow good Nigerian!!

Opposition! Opposition!! Opposition!!! You guys have gone so desperate in the bid to demean the presidency just because you didn't win an election. Am highly disappointed that such utterances came from someone like Yinka Odumakin whom I used to respect so much. I can now conclude that, there's no Politician in Nigeria that is fighting the course of true freedom but rather the course of their narrow political interest. This' not withstanding the fact that, true and vibrant democracy is a product of a strong and effective opposition. But, what we're seeing here is far beyond constructive criticism.
Yes! Jonathan may not be correct or sincere in his submission but let me ask; Yinka Odumakin, are you better than him (Jonathan)? I guess, you're even worst because the devil we know is even more better than the acclaimed angel we do know. You people are just finding ways to get to power. Have you ever sat down and ask yourself; What would we do with power if it eventually turn around to our table? Am not sure you did because, you guys are just looking for loopholes that you cannot block if you eventually step into Jonathan's shoes. During the interview, the President took up time to touch virtually every issue raised in-line with his belief. Concerning the subsidy probe, he said; he initiated the idea of probing the oil sector even as an acting president when he directed the then Minister of Finance to employ the service and an internationally reputable firm to Audit NNPC and other related A/C. You could not hear him only because, you're neck bent to castigate him. Am really sorry for you trying to do a dirty job for your pay-master. As you can see, Abati is getting his hot meals now because he threaded along your chosen directions in the times past. You better be careful!

He was indeed an Icon. We'll miss him dearly. May he find rest in eternity.

A few days ago, I was supposed to travel out of Lagos so, I needed to fill up my fuel tank which has the average capacity of 80ltrs. Mean while, I have already bought 20ltrs not minding the little quantity I had left in my tank at one Mobil Filling Station at Ogba. However the thought of my proposed trip prompted me to stop over at one filling station named 'IYASUNA PETROLEUM" around Agidingbi Road (a stone throw away from Alausa). All I wanted to do was to fill up my tank hoping to have some money left which I will use to secure accommodation at my proposed destination. However, my hope became a nightmare immediately after I allowed the Hungry looking attendant to administer their evil pump into my vehicle's tank. From zero, within a short while I was seeing 92 ltrs reading at their badly adjusted meter. I immediately ask myself, "how come?" Remember, I bought some quantity of fuel earlier which pushed up my fuel gauge to a considerable position and I didn't embark on any other long trip before the incident.
However, the development was very annoying, knowing full well the extra expenses would be borne out of my proposed accommodation expenses. I decided to approach the station manager and hoping to get positive response. Good afternoon Sir, this is what I experience from your pump...and what was his reply...enh enh,okay, what do you want me to do?
Infact, I was so angry, I had to control myself so I will not create a scene. i had to go back home and replenished my pocket before i could embark on my trip that day. So fellow N'landers, I want you guys to share your own experience so we can collectively avoid such dubious gas stations.

Why can't his Mum give him some money to establish a business of his own? I think, this overstretch by his Mum has several under tone that may not be known. Also, the OP didn't tell us the educational background/health condition of the said Husband to be.

I don't think naming a school after IBB is necessary. Already, we have one closer to what I would have suggested. Do not forget we have MADONNA UNIVERSITY. I think, there'll be a serious name problem if we have MARADONA UNIVERSITY.

Who knows if this is an attempt to blackmail the probe panel just to distract our attention. There's no gain saying the fact that most Nigerian politicians/civil/public servants are so smart most especially in this kind of attitude just to get away with their loots. I just pray the Lord would open our eyes to see beyond the usual talks we hear most times.

What a malaria induced dream! Mtcheeeeew

This is hilarious! It goes to show the level of deceit the exist in every statement made by most politicians. It's an indication that, the concept of "one Nigeria" only exist on paper and not in Minds of many Nigerians. How they thought of creating state from every household? Na wao! If this' considered, we'll enter Guinness book of record as a country with too many states without a divisive actions. All the best, Nigerians...

I don't think creating additional ministry is the way out in solving so many problems facing the Country. Already, the Gov't of the day is making efforts to merge some Ministries that plays similar roles then, why advocating for creation of additional ministry now? If this call is as a result of the insurgency in the North by the so-called terrorist group. If such call is adhered to, am afraid another group will eventually emerge in other parts of the country just to air their own view for creation of their own ministries. We must be analytical in our reasoning...even the so-called amnesty program is still subject to intellectual debates. To me, the call for more ministry is baseless...I grant.

NSA was speaking based on the fact that, he has first hand information about the security situation of the Country. However, I believe, there is no problem without solution whether we believe the truth or not, BH menace is over propagated mostly by opposition parties just to make cheap political gains. In time like this, I expected all opposition parties to rally round the central authority to see how this ugly trend can be reversed yet, they settled for undue sentiments to gain popularity. My fear is that, If Nigerians continue to jettison patriotism to promote selfish ambitions, what legacies would we lay down for our children? We must see ourselves as one if the fight against terrorism is real. It's very glaring that the central authority can only do just a little to address this problem without everyone coming together to kill it once and for all. BH is not only PDP, they are networked across every political parties...

I will contest too. Infact, am contesting now in my sitting room. Am vying for the post of the head of our family. I think, Atiku is eligible to contest. He can start contesting as am doing now...all I know is that, Nigerians of today are far informed than the Nigerians of 1999. I wouldn't want to equate my claims with the outcome of the last election. I know too well that 2015 would be a different ball-game for all those acclaimed "traditional rulers" I grant...

Leadership Challenge, Inferiority Complex, Lack of Innovation, and lately, Fanaticism.

Let him declare his intention first, we'll tell him his real name then.

Aluta Continua = Third term Continua. OBJ + IBB ( Presi + V. P) Then Bhuari For Senate Presido, Atiku - Speaker. Pastor T. Bakare = Head Judiciary ( He's a Lawyer, no doubt). Nigeria = war front. You and I, victim of circumstance (21st century leadership parade)

Leadership Challenge

Inferiority Complex

Lack of innovation

External Influence (Colonial Mentality)

and lately, Fanaticism.

I wish him a speedy recovery. Also praying, our health facilities be resuscitated, soon. God bless, Nigeria!

You're right. Our problem is basically the ability to implement the existing laws. We have so many white papers on various projects/concepts that when implemented, Nigeria will be an El-dorado of envy even by the western world. We need to change our approach in tackling most of these avoidable problems we face as a Nation. we don't need any Messiah from external powers to do what I believe, Nigerians can do. We only need visionary leadership.

You don't have to kill yourself with negative feelings over marriage. I believe, every human being has his/her appointed time for everything and beside just note that, it is possible for everyone to go to bed at the same time and it is not possible for everybody to sleep at the same time. In the mean time, I advise you to assess yourself, know your strengths and weakness. Start working on your weakness and use your strengths to compliment them. Do not shy away from places where you can meet reasonable and matured men. If you keep doing these things, I bet your right MAN would certainly locate you. Just assume, he's out there looking for you as well. I wish you all the best.

Marriage/Love is sacred because, God made it so. Anything one cannot explain is difficult to comment on. However, I think, the best way to go about marriage should be ones' ability to look beyond the vessel so to speak, content counts a lot because that is the only thing that would never depreciate if you're very lucky to meet the right partner. Agreed, she is from a poor background, but, can we say she's a failure as a result of that? No! Birth place is circumstantial, she can only remain poor if she chooses to be. I always believe that, the difference between poor and wealthy man is just "thinking" the way any one thinks could deter God's plan for his/her life. To me, anybody can be poor or rich irrespective of his/her background. Hope, I would not be quoted out of my stand, background is very important in a child's up-bringing nevertheless, "the unfortunates" could also find their way to the top if they imbibe right attitude/thinking.

My candid contribution to this subject goes;

1. Religion is circumstantial. For instance, I look at myself one day and said, Perhaps, I wouldn't have been known and address as Christian If I was born in Saudi Arabia, etc. Same as someone from there who'll likely not share the same faith with me.

2. Faith is a personal thing- It's only you that can tell how/what you received from the spiritual realm. I.e, who's been speaking to you and how you receive the message.

3. Love is the fundamental platform that connects every religion.

4 Fanaticism is against the principles of love

5. Religion is a vehicle through which different views about spiritual idealisms are conveyed

6. No man is free from religion idealism. For instance, if someone says, he's an Atheist, he's already telling us that,he's embracing a particular religion/spiritual idealism. There is no man free from every believe. We only try to make inciting claims knowingly, or un-knowingly just because we want to project our own religion supreme over every other religion.

7. As a Christian, I believe, unification of every religion is a sign of end time. until we get there, we may likely not have the world ended. I humbly grant...

This is quite interesting. just read it on AIT news headlines.

The bane of all these insults on the first family to me, is as a result of moral decadence we're experiencing in this country. Having respect for legitimate authority supposed to be primary value learned from one's parents. Come to think of it, what are you getting from all these? I think, anyone indulging in these unpleasant act either for fun or to derogate the first family is placing a limitation to him/herself. As far as am concerned, many are saying all these, due to inferiority complex and outright jealousy. However, I think, any reasonable individual should use her weakness to challenge himself thus; If un-educated person can go this far, I believe, nothing will stop me from getting to where God want me to be. Until you change your thought, you keep placing limitation to your destiny. Take it or leave it. God bless you.

what a life story! I bet, your story is a nice one to be picked by Guinness book of record. Lol.

Hope this is not another fraud in disguise? We all counted on Baba Fash admin here but, not thought of any evil toll, hope the major road leading to Osogbo will be toll free after this exercise?

 really understood how you feel.  just want you to take your time so that, some men would not take advantage of you. Also, it's good to understand that, you were uniquely created, your own divine time table can never be the same with your friends', One can only achieve a positive change that'll stand the taste of time if he/she is sincere with himself. However, implore you to act further by asking yourself questions like; "'m  truly ready to settle down?, what are those attributes that  may put up that can make my spouse clue to me? What do  need to understand about "conflict resolution" in marriage? What are those qualities  require of a man/woman? Do  posses such qualities myself?  just pray, the Lord would guide you because, marriage is like a "T" junction that determines man's destiny. When once you miss it, you miss all. Good luck!

, My opinion on "SAME-SEX marriage" making headlines in recent times. "I see, Democracy becoming a tool for immorality". Fundamental human rights is receiving negative interpretations in the hands of politicians especially in the western world to canvass votes during subsequent elections in their states. However, I want to acknowledge the courage of our SENATE for not dancing to the tune of these countries in the name of sustaining int'l relationship. I bet, the worms in hell have started salivating to have their soul closer to their teeth. And we'll not join them. Destruction looms these states ASAP.

Na wao! It's obvious, a cockroach has never lived without blame in the midst of fowl. I suggest, it's high time we moved forward and laid our swords down. If we must criticise, let it be constructive. Enough of these hatred. We should understand that, we are not helping the image of this country abroad.
