Empiree:
Jinns reside in dirty, filthy places, like bathroom, filthy uncompleted building. That's why it's advisable to wear clothe to cover private part when taking shower. Cover yourself with blanket (etc) during intercourse. Don't be scared now. They don't necessarily reside in all dirty bathrooms or places. Jinns are endowed with supernatural perception. They lodge where they can see human but human beings can not see them. They can see you taking shower, having intercourse etc. Most of them are liars.

As much as you are trying to make a valid point, I will disagree on some. Cover your private part during bath, or cover yourself during intercourse so jinn will not see? Are you for real I'm sorry but that's total trash. Its a spirit, jinn see you when you can't see 'them'. So cover or no cover 'it' will see if it want to see. Do you think you can hide from what you can't see? That theory is not only laughable but also silly.

APContherun:
So two APCs now mean militarization?
BTW can you provide evidence that these are meant to protect Jonathan.

You must be an e-idiot. Is it until he shows all the APCs and other military equipments parading the streets of Abuja before you believe?

Does this man and his advisers have sense at all?

Goddex:
APC like taking glory where they did not sow. GEJ and FG (Olusegun Aganga in partucular) completely labour tirelessly to attract investment and suddenly APC governors show up attempting to take the glory.

The other day, Amosun had to jump up announcing about auto-makers siting plants in Ogun even when it was obvious he didn't know a thing about their coming

For the records, Flour Mills of Nig Plc moved into Ibadan way back Alao Akala's (of PDP) time. They set up the flour milling plant along Lagos -Ibadan expressway toll gate, commissioned it and put it to use while construction work on the edible oil was ongoing. Ajimobi was still in the senate then and does not know anything about their coming

PDP cockroach, you spew nonsense. The mill before toll gate has been there even before 1999. Mumu raise to the power of 24.

If I blame GEJ, his rats will call me names. Obasanjo was in charge of the country during his time, he had a say in several internal polity of states, putting things right (sometimes overdo), but na only for PHC GEJ get mouth.

Scam alert. Run Run Run. The guy is a bad manager, he's worse than the chinese. Thank me later.

Rubbish , so tomorrow we'll have a post 'tonto acts as house wife'

Wahala dey for naija

You see for yourself, yeye, cramming will not help you.

cramjones:
Congolese and Nigerian refugees are different. The link does not show any picture I posted. For your information, those pictures are from your beloved Nigeria that have been ravaged by Boko Haram, while an incompetent president lingers on!

-CramJones

Now you are beginning to annoy me. I say the second pic you posted was for Congolese refugees not Nigerians. Deny this again, and I'll conclude you are as daft as your president.

cramjones:
Meanwhile while the religious arm of PDP - Pastor Adeboye, Orisejifor and co think about of their successors, we must hail and vote for President Jonathan for creating a wonderful Nigeria, especially for the people of Mubi and Vintim. Great job President Jonathan, great Job! Even Sky News has hailed your naivety and incompetence!

Inasmuch as you made some point, the picture are not from mubi but of Congo's conflict. The second pics in particular has been on the internet for over 2 year. So bros, park well.

ceo4eva:
But up till Friday evening, the national leadership of the PDP claimed it was not aware of the withdrawal of the security details of Tambuwal.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, stated this in an interview with our correspondent in Abuja.

When told that the police boss had issued a statement to that effect, he said he had not read it.

Metuh said, “When did it happen? Today? I’m not aware. I have not read the statement anywhere and therefore I cannot comment on it.”

See blatant lie. PDP, masters at lies.

[size=25pt] Uncle you can lie oo [/size]

Misleading topic. No reason going there. If he goes he will definately be embarrassed so its better to stay away.

b2k90:
Who be d majority of the HOR? Is it not PDP?
Keep deceiving urself

Show me either in the constitution or house rules where the speaker has to come from the majority party? Being majority only means who have a say when it comes to electing house officials. Don't be deceived.

Chicheey:
He will soon go back

And you will go with him

Dominiquez:
Berem Omenka and the rest.

You guys don't have shame. What did Tinubu achieve as a Governor for 8 years.

Name them.

If God bless him for what he has done, its dead by air crash because he bought a private jet from the money of the populace.

And you will go with him.

Damalex4luv:
are you blind, I said that I don't see him changing in the nearest future... that it's already in his blood. get the Bleep outta here

You don't see him bla bla bla, prophet prophesy. Pessimist.

This is the most beautiful newspaper article I have read in recent times. It is written by Richard Mammah, Editor of Hallmark Newspaper.

I am the trouble with Nigeria, yes I am!

I have come today to make a confession. I am the trouble with Nigeria. I see things around me going wrong and say nothing. Is it fear? Cowardice? Lack of concern? Ignorance? Whatever it is, I am the trouble with Nigeria.
I am past 18 years in age and I do not bother to find out when and where voter registration and the updating of the electoral roll is being done. I have long concluded that my vote will never count, yet I now and again murmur over poor governance.



And when I am finally ‘persuaded’ to register to vote, I join the queues for the wrong reasons; forgetting that it is as I make my bed that I would lay on it. I vote on sentiments and inducements, yet expect performance. I am the quintessential ostrich that would, on sighting the approaching storm, bury my head in the ground even when my body remains exposed over-ground for all to see. I am the trouble with Nigeria.


I pay no taxes, drive on the wrong side of the road, honk needlessly and expect to live in a great society where all systems work seamlessly. I accept bribes. And give some also. I cut corners, wait for hand-outs, fail to attend Parents Teachers Association (PTA) meetings for my children and wards; despise street and neighbourhood association convocations and yet wonder why the entire nation is not working; why great leaders are not being elected into office; and why the average politician is not any better than the motor park urchin that, back in the day, could not put his sums together properly. I am the trouble with Nigeria.


I received bad education and I’m doing nothing about it going forward. I do not host a blog or write letters to the editor. I carry out my tasks and assignments perfunctorily. I impact nobody, encourage nobody, protect nobody, defend nobody, inspire nobody; yet expect to be in high spirits myself; I am the trouble with Nigeria.


I see my neighbour’s children taking wrong turns, and I say thank God mine are doing better; I see Ebola ravage the country next door and I heave a sigh of relief that it is not my problem at all. I get a contract to fix the road where I live; ‘it is my share of the national cake,’ I exhale; my Jeep will get me through the potholes even when they expand! I am indeed the trouble with Nigeria.
I am the son-of-the-soil (really, totally fouled up) who sells the same plot of land to six different sets of land seekers. I hawk and dispense fake drugs. I write examinations for willing-to-pay candidates. I rape defenseless children. I cheat on my wife without blinking. I violate the laws of the land without flinching. I set the wrong example for succeeding generations. I am surely the trouble with Nigeria


I will not do ‘menial’ jobs in Nigeria, but can ‘hustle’ them when I get to ‘Yankee.’ I throw empty cans, fruit peels and food wrappings out of moving vehicles and wonder why the country is so dirty. I am the trouble with Nigeria.
I follow after God and obey His word but only in the parts that are convenient for me. I have ready excuses for all of my failings and live in denial over my own contribution to ‘the package.’ I wear a mask going through my day; here a smile, there a grin, but none of them ankle-deep. I take living as a winner-grab-all game: ‘you are not smart when you lose!’ I am the trouble with Nigeria.


I have relatives and kinsmen who I know and have ample evidence of the fact that they are currently looting and despoiling our national patrimony. And rather than reprimand or distance myself from them, I ogle up to them, fawn over them and encourage them to ‘go on soun’ in the hope that as they grab more, some of the spoils would ‘drop for me.’ ‘Is it not our turn?’ ‘Fada!’ I am the trouble with Nigeria.


I can recite the litany of problems with the country even without being prompted. They are right here on my palm! I know when they started and how to end them. Trouble is, I am not ready, and will do nothing to begin to practically reverse them; one step at a time.
I am truly the trouble with Nigeria but could also be the solution if I want to. It has been my choice this far, and it still is even as I pen this confessional.
(Boy; am I already feeling better with this load off my chest!)

Damalex4luv:
That's a very big lie from him! Infact the best thing he knows how to do is to abuse other fuji musicians... You guys should go and listen to Ikede pataki where he finished Pasuma Alabi in that album with strong abusive words.. he can't just stop abusing because it's already in his blood.. I don't see him changing in years to come.. fews lines of that album goes like this.. se bi owo lo pa wa po ototo lawa, afefeyere lo mu buruji le mi ko, Asejere lemi ko karimi ni wo ko...

You know how to read but lack comprehension. Did you not see that he said he's STOPPED ABUSES? Smh

Which school?

OP is clueless like GEJ

Smells PROPAGANDA.

Renti ko, tenant ni, tell me if this is not the usual practice for political gatherings?

I'm an American and I love the United States of America. I'm proud of where I was born and raised. But this post isn't going to be about that. I've been fortunate enough to travel to many places throughout the world. I have fond memories of so many people I've met and so many instances I've been a part of.

Nigeria isn't just a place I've traveled to. This has become a home away from home to me. I lived there off and on for many years and it is a Country that I not only care about, but a place where I want to see it's potential reached. And I have committed myself to being a part of that solution in the years to come. As you've seen from my prior posts, Nigeria is always on my mind and there are so many topics I could talk about. But this post is going to go over the 5 main reasons why I love Nigeria. And it's not only a privilege to share this, but I believe it's mandatory.

Reason #1: March, 2011


In March 2011, I was in Nigeria. I was in the middle of a trip that would keep me there for a 4 month stretch. I was staying on the mainland in Lagos at the time at a lovely little hotel in Mushin. My wife who is Nigerian and her family that were in Nigeria thought I was crazy for staying there. My wife hasn't been back to Nigeria in over 15 years so her opinion on Mushin is based on 15 years ago, not currently. And her parents haven't really been to Mushin in a quite a while. So I appreciated their concern, but I enjoyed staying in Mushin. This could be another post all on it's own so I will stay on topic.

I was working on the Island this particular day. I worked late. It was around 9 p.m. when I left. We had to stop over in Ikeja before I went to the hotel so we were on the Third Mainland Bridge heading there at that time. A small car hit something in the road and flipped on it's side. The car was packed with people. 4 adults and 4 little kids. Since it was on it's side, they were crushing each other. I had my driver pull over to the side and when I got out of the car, what I witnessed told me what Nigeria can become. And this moment will stay with me forever and has been my inspiration in regards to Nigeria.

I would guess that 40 cars pulled over on both sides of the bridge when this happened. At least 40-50 people ran over to the car. They were all there in less than 30 seconds flat. People latched on to each other to make a "ladder" so other people could climb on top of them. One guy positioned himself to be able to reach in the car. Then in consecutive fashion, a person latched on to his feet to give him stability and strength and another person at the bottom was grabbing the other person's foot to give total stability. Everyone was rescued from the car and were not injured because of how quick the rescue was. Then, about 2 minutes after the rescue, the car caught fire. Without that quick response and everyone working together, 8 people would have died.

At that moment in time, there weren't any Yoruba's, Igbo's, or Hausa's. At that time, there was just simply Nigerians helping out fellow Nigerians. I believe what I saw could be incorporated into every day things not just emergencies. A society where people look to help other people. Slowly as the future generations are getting older, the cultural and religious stereotypes that people in Nigeria have been mentally enslaved to are going away.

Reason #2: The Food!.....Oh the Food.


I love Nigerian food. The good thing about the various tribes is that they have their own take on Nigerian cuisine. And it is delicious. Personally, I love Efo. And I can cook it too. My Nigerian friends and my Wife's family are always shocked at how I can cook Efo. When I first ate it, I had to learn how to make it. The key I believe is to fry the onions with the palm oil first. And if you can find the perfect juicy tomatoes and red peppers to blend then you are going to have a good dish.

I don't know if I'm spelling this correctly, but Kokoro is also one of my favorite snacks. And I believe you can only get this snack in Abeokuta. For those who do not know or are not Nigerian, Kokoro is corn that is blended and then fried into corn chips. They are unbelievable. Every time I go to Abeokuta, I buy a large amount of this snack.

Lastly, Suya is one of my favorites. I don't like it spicy though. So when I head over to the Suya stand on the side of the road in Ikoyi, I always ask for Suya without all the pepper. I get extra tomatoes and onions on the side. Since the guy is Hausa, I ask for "fala fala tomatoes and onions". Suya has gotten me through many nights when it was too late for me to get dinner.


Nigerians know how to party. Not only do they know how to party, they can find any excuse to throw a party. Just had a kid? Have a party. Just got promoted? Have a party. Just retired from your job? Have a party. Just had an anniversary? Have a party.



Reason #3: The Parties


Nigerians know how to party. Not only do they know how to party, they can find any excuse to throw a party. Just had a kid? Have a party. Just got promoted? Have a party. Just retired from your job? Have a party. Just had an anniversary? Have a party.

These parties are usually scheduled at 2 p.m. but since this is Nigeria, everyone starts to show up around 7 p.m. and the party goes on through the night. Lot's of food. Lot's of music. And I believe 40% of the guests don't even know who the party is for. They just heard about it and came along. So at these parties you meet a lot of new people.

There was one trip where I believe I went to a party on 5 consecutive Saturdays for some reason or the other. By the sixth week, I was exhausted.

Reason #4: The Music


Whatever kind of mood you are in, you can find some kind of music in Nigeria to fit your mood. Nigerians are excellent at using existing genre's and adding their cultural flair to add sound to the music.

Whether it's Hip Hop, Gospel, Rock, Reggae, Jazz or Rhythm and Blues, there are so many talented Nigerian artists that are enhancing these genre's.

Reason #5: The Street Vendors


We all know how bad traffic is especially in Lagos. This is a place where you could be going only 30 miles and take over 3 hours to get there. It's infuriating and highly stressful.

But when you are stuck in traffic, everything you may need will be available to you through the street vendors who walk in between the cars on the street. Thirsty? Get some soda or juice. Hungry? Get some popcorn, peanuts, banana's, ice cream, fruits, or gala. Don't have time to get to the malls? No problem. You can get CD's, DVD's, Shoes, Sandal's, Home Décor or really anything else. All of these things can be bought while you're in traffic.

I got stuck in traffic one day and I was late to dinner meeting. When I finally got to the meeting, I didn't order anything to eat. Because while I was in traffic, I had a Coke, Banana, half a bottle of peanuts, and Ice Cream.

Some people might say that it is these very same street vendors that cause the traffic to begin with. But I don't care. I love them any way.

God Bless Nigeria.

Wishing you Success,


Brian Botts
