i know of a boy born in a manger to a virgin named Mary and a carpenter Joseph,
I know that the boy grew up to be a great guy, helping the poor, curing the sick, raising the dead etc,
I know that he also drove the money grubbers out of the temple,
I know that if he wanted to put a price tag on his miracles, he will be richer than 10 Bill Gates,
I know of a man who didn't preach tithes and Gate fees at church gatherings,
And his name was and is still is
Jesus Christ

Inspiring. Initially I thought you were going to be sarcastic. Good one.

Yaa Rasululahi....May the wrath of God be upon anyone, group, sect terrorizing our nation. In other news, where are the laminated brain e-goats crying for the release of Dasuki, if this innocent girl can be in pain for months like this, I don't see any reason why Dasuki should be in the comfort of his mansion flexing with arms money. Dasuki must rot in jail.

Abeg no call Dasuki. Blame the Northern elders that empower Bh.

pheliciti:
The writer must be insensitive to allege that 25k km was done by GEJ based on fabricated quotes. He should as a journalist be more investigative and list out the roads! If at all, none of the meagre successes of GEJ can justify the amount of theft and cluelessness of that govt. Please the writer should deal with that.
Using subsidy removal as an example, the argument now is different from those of 4 yrs ago. Now, it is glaring that with the fall in oil prices, removal of subsidy would not hurt the populace.
In the 2012 scenario, the argument was that removal would create money to fund infrastructure with the creation of SUREP. Please show us the infrastructure financed with the 50% removal (remember, subsidy was partly removed) other than private constructions by the subsidy thieves and their acolytes including Thisday journalists like the writer of the editorial. Don't also forget the manner of the removal; crude was selling at record high yet those that travelled to villages were left stranded as a result of sudden price changes.

From your above quotes, it shows that you just hate Gej and you just don't want to be objective at all.
It us absurd not to give credit for Gej's attempt to remove subsidy. Nigeria would have been better for it. I know Gej has his fault as the Op has stated. His analysis is very clear and objective.
The writer knew what he is talking about. Fashola and Amaechi even agree that Gej did work. But people like you choose not to see it,

I'm surprised you didn't mention marketing especially in banking and insurance. Do you know how many people develop high bp, slump and die ?

And before some idiots come to say they are cowards. Remember that before we became one Nigeria, yorubas have fought so many wars within themselves. War is never the answer to any question. Nothing as worthy as dialogue, diplomacy and respect of boundaries.

Name the wars

StepTwo:
what has Nairaland done to our youths?

how could someone bring an issue like this to Nairaland, so there's no secrets, no family privacy because Seun Osewa has taken us community.

God help our youth.

He coded it well.

Op, they are adults, abi ? Things like this do happen.

I met this girl some two months back, and asked her out. She told me she'll think about it. Up till now, she hasn't given me a reply but hasn't stopped requesting for cash from me. Of recent she told me she'll need about N15k for personal reasons. She didn't even tell me what she wants the money for what kind of person is that. And she hasn't even accepted my proposal yet. I feel like letting her go even though I love her so much. What do u guys feel?

Are you her Dasuki . Just bone her and walk away now that you have nothing to lose. If not you will come back to NL and start lamenting how you spent 500,000 naira on a girl and she left you

My main concern is his diction

Then you must be tripping for Patrick Obahiagbon..

Assslayer:
I'm beginning to get more curious and furious about this , it has been going on for about four years now and people are not seeing anything wrong about it or i say his members are brainwashed to the highest order not to see anything wrong in this. Someone should please call this Christ Embassy church to order, every year they charge people coming to worship with them on the 31st night the sum 1000 naira as a gate fee. In the previous years they sell tickets before the show sorry i mean service, so all who wants to attend the 31st night service must come with their tickets to enter the church auditorium .


But this year they decided to craft another means of collecting this 1000 naira, they made it compulsory for each attendees to purchase an electronic gate pass for 1000naira. My question is , are they going to dance to the melody of a superstar singer or dance to sound of a superstar DJ ? Even the huge yearly program The Experience is free, someone should please call this Loveworld ministry aka Christ Embassy to order, reaping off our gullible citizens.

It's the people that will pay you should blame. Pastors have been making merchandise of members since the days of Paul the Apostle.

BlackPeni5:
I admire the president's honesty...He didn't try to sugar coat anything.

But the down side is that, he sounded clueless about many issues. He would need to ask the CBN Governor, He may have missed the programme which exposed his Ministers' involvement in corruption, etc.

The chat also showed that with enough pressure, Buhari can bend (which is evidence that he doesn't have a clear objective) as it relates to his agreement to ban Hijab when pressed by the journalists.

Buhari is a good man, but the Dictator is still strong within him as he doesn't respect the Judiciary. He even made the police look inferior by saying "How can the Police investigate the military when it should be the other way around".

We are in for rough times ahead.

You said it all. But some zombies can never give a honest criticism. So sad.

SignalNG1:
President Muhammdu Buhari on Wednesday declared that people like the former National Security Adviser under ex-President Jonathan, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) do not deserve bail.

Buhari was reacting to a question from Premium Times journalist Ibanga Isine during his first presidential media chat on Wednesday in Abuja. Isine was bringing the President's attention to rising criticisms against his government for alleged violation of judicial processes, the rule of law and court orders as seen in the cases of the former DG of the State Security Services (SSS), Mr. Kayode Are, detained Biafra activist, Nnamdi Kanu and the former NSA Sambo Dasuki.

In his reaction, Buhari, fighting to conceal his anger noted that people like Sambo Dasuki and Nnamdi Kanu do not deserve bail because of the weight of atrocities they have committed.

"If you see the kind of atrocities people like Dasuki committed you won't give them bail. A former President told Dasuki to collect N40 billion. N40 billion. And you want to give him bail to go and see his doctor in London? Do you know that Nnamdi Kanu has two passports and he came into the country without using any? Do you know that Nnamdi Kanu brought a sophisticated equipment into the country for Radio Biafra? What kind of government do you people want?" the President fumed.

So Buhari is the accuser and the judge in his own case. . He knows nothing about the rule of the law.

ladenz:
Nawa o. I couldn't watch the Media chat and I came here to get an idea of how it went. However almost everybody seems to be judging based on emotions and previously held opinions. Where is the objectivity

What I can deduce from the thread ( I didn't read everything) is that Buhari gave clear and intelligent answers on some issues but didn't seem to have enough background knowledge to answer other questions. He also wasn't able to express himself with finesse like other world leaders.

Can someone who is neutral please confirm if I am right

You will have to listen to him speak to draw your full conclusion ie first hand experience and not hearsay.
But I'll tell you the little I gathered.
The interviewer asked him about the limitation placed on the dollars that have made many people stranded. Buhari said it will remin like that. He further went on to say how he intends to build industry, fight insurgency etc.
On asking if he plans to devalue the Naira. He said no, which was a good response. He later went on to say, " how am I expected to devalue the Naira against the dollars, or against the pounds or Francs ?
On the issue of Igbo being marginalized, he said and the rise of Ipob. He said, "I don't know what this people want." He further went on to say minister of petroleum resources is Igbo, minister of Science and Technology and CBN governor are all Igbos.

Inspectahdeck:
He was spot on with his answer about devaluing the Naira. A country devalve it's currency against a booming industry either manufacturing or power etc. For trading/importation like the president stated, do you want him to devalue the Naira against another country's currency. He also gave example with developed countries and how they devalue their currency against industries.

On the dollar limitations he stated that Nigeria has no dollar in the market. That is our reality so let's face it and improve our economy locally and forget about importing toothpick, rice etc.

I'm not saying he should devalue our currency. What I'm saying is the way he puts it. It shows that he doesn't have a grasp of of the economy.

Nigeria does not have dollars in the market because of the artificial limitations he put on it. He did this to punish politicians but he's punishibg Nigerians. Before taking certain actions, he should look at the pros and cons. You wouldn't find ut funny if you have to travel abroad for either school and health care and your bank refuses to release your money.

PRESIDENTIAL MEDIA CHAT

QUESTION : (by Mr Ibanga of Premium Times):MR president, the DSS under your watch has consistently disobeyed court orders. Dansuki has had 3 court orders asking for his release. And Nnamdi Kanu. And many other cases. Court orders which your DSS has not obeyed

ANSWER : (by Buhari on national TV) :How can they be released? Do you know that Kanu has passports of 2 different countries? Do you know the billions that Dansuki stole? And you are talking of court order for release. I hope the judges are watching this!

ME :Buhari is now the accuser and the judge. He has already convicted his victims. He openly approves the disobedience of court orders, and dares the court openly. And who told him that it is a crime to have the citizenship (passport) of two countries?

Lol..... I no fit laff oh.... and some people are scoring him 75% and above for this chat

What response did he give when asked about the limitation pkaced on dollars that's affecting innocent businessmen. No sensible answer
They asked him dies he plan to devalue the naira ? His response : Do you expect me to devalue the naira against dollars, or pounds or Francs ?
I don't know how people get to rate him 7/10 . I peay you don't perform lije this in an interview.

asorocker:
The decline of the oil industry is going to be worse on the states of Lagos and kano.

Lagos because an analysis of the igr of Lagos shows that Lagos derived it's revenue from the income tax and the income tax bulk is from the oil workers whose offices are in Lagos.
The oil and gas component of the Lagos igr is more than 40% of the igr. Income tax paid by high earning oil and gas industry executive who gross average of N5m monthly has helped Lagos


Secondly kano will be the worst hit as the only state whose take home is equivalent to the take home of niger delta states with their 13% derivative.

Kano doesn't have the human capital to generate income tax.

Third state /city is Abuja. It is said that Abuja was built with oil money, where would the money to sustain and maintain Abuja come from if not the same money from niger delta.

Some states like kwara, benue, adamawa can easily with agriculture fight the downturn of their economy, how would sokoto, yobe, jigawa whose populace don't farm and whose land is far from economic centres for export of agricultural products survive.

The next in line are the hausa cities of katsina, batching, kaduna who benefitted from the lopsided federal allocations. Now that the oil wealth is going and there is no human capital we hope they will not turn to insurgency as a means of raising attention and revenue.

The states that would enjoy and be kings in the new dispensation.

Anambra, Nigeria's brain box and commercial hub will have its non oil economy growth unequalled and unrivaled. Anambra survived with no oil allocation managed the little it had and built an enabling environment for investments.

Akwa Ibom, this state was blessed with resources and good managers who used it very well to grow infrastructure and are currently working on a sea port.

Abia this state hosts aba, Nigeria's city of enterprise and football, aba is living beyond oil already.

No mind them. Make dem continue to talk Naija delta. The whole Naija will suffer.

Haters will say am not beautiful too

Why do you have to do your lips like that .

korel9:
Straight to the point.

I met this girl sometime ago and we started seeing each other (as in no strings attached just for the benefits). She happens to be a client of ours.
It was my colleague who actually told me she's available (as in not attached) so I took my chances .
After a while, I started seeing her with my colleague (as in she coming to see him in the office). I confronted her and she said there's nothing between them. All these while my friend never mentioned there was something going on between them. All he kept saying was that the girl would be good on bed. I couldn't tell him about the girl and I cos she's Hausa and a muslim while I'm not Hausa and a Christian. I feel he may lash at her and discourage her from continuing with me which may even endanger her.
I was shocked when one day he told me of his escapades with the girl and how the girl got involved in a duel with his other girl who he's planning on getting married to.
I have no long-term intention with this girl so also does my colleague. But I feel I should tell him before he finds out or what do you think my fellow nairalanders?

Constructive responses please

Firstly, is your colleague an aboki ? If yes, then don't tell him about it.

Secondly since your colleague told you she's available, you shouldn't feel bad. You may ask him that you were interested in her but it seems he's into a serious relationship. Hear his response.

Towncrier247:
Sincerely, village life is really attractive with all the nature. Can one ever come across something like this in Ikeja, Lagos? I only see animals like this on NatGeo... Bro, u r purely surrounded by nature.

But tell those villagers not to kill all the wilb life.

So you are not satisfied with the CHANGE that APC. has brought you are still demanding for Fayose's change? Can I conclude that APC's change is fake?

By their fruits you will know zombies.

I tire for this country.... Its only in nigeria people will pray for bomb blast on fellow nigerians just to prove the other party is wrong

Did Anyone see Fayose condolence letter or press conference to any of the state or Victims Family

Pls don't blame Fayose for anything. No one prayed for any bomb. Buhari made a pact with bh to islamize Nigeria.

Please gerrahia, just Negodu. The guy himself knows what he did was wrong, he could be sued or his license revoked.
If the girl gets to know, he will never practice medicine again, and when that happens will you be there to help him.
I'm a medical personnel and I know this HIV patients know their rights wella.

But it's also a crime to intentionally spread aids. Yes, I also agree patients should have confidentiality, but on this issue, one has to use an unorthodox method. Imagine such wickedness.

sketcherJ:
Police is our friend at least that is what they say, but we have come to question this statement now and often due to the nefarious and unwholesome activities of some bad eggs in the police force, these are some good tips for you to make sure you don't encounter or be a victim of these bad activities



1. Never run away from a policeman : Never run from a Nigerian policeman, whether you are innocent or guilty or you are automatically signing your death warrant, in many European countries, their police force are equipped with tasers and stun guns to use on running criminals or offenders, but the case is not so in Nigeria, where the policemen only have loaded guns with no safety catch,.
some policemen are too lazy to chase criminals, they just let the velocity of their bullets do the running business.


2. Give them their dues : whenever you meet police men at checkpoints , and they ask you for money whether legally or illegally. Please give them, don't try to be the know it all or try to be one who is current in law matters, this might sound stupid but remember you are doing this for your life and the passengers you have in your care, we have heard and seen cases of drivers refusing to give policemen their dues and their passengers suffered dearly for it.


3. Don't joke or argue with a drunk policeman ; whenever you are at a bar and you see drunk policemen with guns. It is better for you to leave the bar club or joint discreetly ,but if you must stay, avoid the policemen like fleas and don't draw too much attention to yourself, drunk policemen are just like time bombs waiting to explode. Don't joke with them, because in their drunken state, they might not able to get the meaning of your jokes well , a drunk civilian can cause havoc not to talk of a drunk policeman with a loaded gun.


4. Watch the signs ; whenever you find yourself around a policeman with a gun whether drunken or sober, always watch for any hostility signs in them , especially when a policeman start talking about killing.e.g I feel like killing somebody today, I will shoot you, if you try me, I will show you pepper etc.. Don't wait to see if the policeman is actually bluffing, take to your heels .


5. Be cautious or avoid areas where a policeman had recently been injured or beaten : when you hear or you actually see a policeman being beaten in an area, please avoid going to the area for some time, because the policemen will come for their revenge and they either they do it directly or indirectly.. Directly ( by shooting at or battering some marked men at the area) indirectly ( by arresting the residents of the area and charging them with numerous framed offences)



6. Avoid confrontations with policemen during protest : avoid daring confrontations with policemen during protests whether peaceful or not, even if you are doing it for a just cause, don't throw stones, pure water etc at them, even if you are in the company of your friends , in a crowd or public gathering, remember a bullet has no person's name on it , in a crowd...it could hit you , or anybody close to you.

True talk, especially no. 5. I remember one day when I was in ph. I alighted from a taxi at a place called Slaughter. I saw policemen everywhere as if there was war. They shouted at everyone to raise up their two hands in the air.
Who am I to say no ? Even before I came down from the car, I was already raising my two hands. When I entered into the next vehicle, one of the passengers was telling us that the policemen were very angry. One of their colleagues was killed and his gun collected by some bad boys. I just thank God say stray bullet no begin fly.

[color=teal] My oga op, I totally disagree with some of the point you mentioned above like Teaching, telecom customer care and Asian countries...

Nobody forced them to work there, if they can't cope with the stress they should quit.....

Nepa men in my area kings oh, na so people day greet and thank them anyhow because light too much when them day give us....

Modified= before you crucify me, please click on page 2 on this thread to see ma reason why I said so....[/color]

Teaching can be frustrating when the school isn't standard. Working in AIS or BIS won't be frustrating
As for Asian coys, most people who work for Indians, Lebanese or Chinese complain a lot. ThE fact that no one forced you to work there does not mean you shouldn't expect better. What these guys dio in Nigeria, they can't do elsewhere.
