I've a similar problem like you. I've been in relationships but just can't handle their intensity. I'm just off and on, drifting like the sea. I've even nursed the thought of joining the clergy and remaining celibate for life.

When did the APC start to own private jets? I thought I read Buhari saying he borrowed money to buy the APC presidential form? Rivers people, behold your state purse lying plundered.

Are u guyz always on cocaine.


Don't worry, your drug supply will be exhausted by the time buhari becomes president. By then penalty for peddling hard drugs will be death by hanging...so get ready to die soon

And who sniff drugs better than Buhari's main sponsor?

Pictures or I don't believe. What about Buhari spurning of the courts and the APC FOI-phobia?

General March 4 Buhari #GMB

Use your head for once na.

It's better than tarnishing the country's image abroad.

Feels he provides the best sex experience in the world.

Shaking my head, hypocritically. U don finish me with laughter.

The temperament of Buhari is unsuitable for a budding democracy like ours. He reeks of our beastly past to ever convince me that he is capable of driving change in sophisticated modern Nigeria. I don't mean to undermine GMB with this comment, but it is just how I feel about him. For goodness' sake, the man has obviously made no personal progress since he left office thirty years ago.

The expression 'practice makes perfect', though ungrammatical, is universally recognised to be correct.

The fault with the use of by and with in sentence number 7 is due to the differences between BrE and AmE.

I've seen the use of WITH instead of ON in expression number 19 in the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary.

The basic difference between our pidgin and standard English is the misuse and the total elimination of prepositions.
There is also the occasional misuse of adjectives; e.g. Peter is a talkative instead of Peter is talkative. Adjectives, when they end a sentence, are rarely preceded by articles.

While doing this morning clean-up at home, my memory took me to those early days after service when one was hawking one's CV like Akara and buns on the streets. What steadied my flashback was what a student did in a school I once taught. A fellow teacher had told her class in their first C.A to list the first ten chemical elements and this girl, instead of leaving out that particular question for lack of knowledge, went ahead to list it as follows:
1. Oxygen 2. Hydrogen 3. Nitrogen 4. Sleeping 5. Swimming 6. Jumping 7. Over 8. Above 9. Bird... I can't recall the number ten item. We couldn't help erupting in laughter as the teacher read the script to us.
This incident made another teacher to tell us his own ordeal, how he asked the same class to mention 3 problems of national population census in Nigeria and a student wrote: 1. You. 2. You 3. You.
Thereafter, we just went to the said class and wrote 'Olodo Republic' across the entrance. Students can be rude and funny sometimes.
Fellow Nairalanders, let me hand over to you at this juncture to recount a stupid or funny thing a student has done to you as a teacher or one you've done to a teacher as a student.
Happy Weekend.

It's hard to cut off once one is addicted.

Who would have known this guy wld be a disaster to the nation..

And what have you done for your country?

No sane society would put down its military for the sake of petty electoral success. I pity those who say such dastardly things about the military and broadcast their failure to the larger world for they are directly cooking their own misfortune. You can't have your cake and eat it. Patriotism is in words as in actions.

Greed blunts the senses. If the north should fall into this trap again, I won't stop anyone who calls them cows. The man looks sickly. Once bitten twice shy. 2019 is not too far.

People may come here to justify OBJ's acts, but the question I always ask is, would OBJ accept such a behaviour from a former president when he was in power? The answer is NO. What I see is that self-seeking perenniality to remain relevant. And it's apt to say OBJ is not alone in this. Many of our former heads of state suffer from this malaise.

What about Tinubu? What about Rotimi Amaechi? What about Saraki?... What about the domestication of the FOI in APC states? And for those who believe that corruption can be curbed by throwing pple into Kirikiri are living in the Stone Age. It's one thing to fight corruption and another to actually identify corrupt people and institute both proactive and reactive measures against it. The question is, is GMB sophisticated enough to that extent to be able to implement such sweeping measures? I sincerely doubt it for all I hear is throwing pple into Kirikiri. What I see coming, if it happens at all, is just a mere change of our exploiters.

Inasmuch as I'm slow in believing this write-up, I want a change in Lagos State, which is the domestication of the FOI in the state.

olas24u:
Abacha was an honest leader, He stablized the naira and reduced devaluation it was 1 to 22 dollars official.

The fact that you said Abacha was an honest leader makes the reading of your other parameters needless.

olas24u:
we can use parameters to judge based on the economy.even though times have changed ,abacha is better

Please bring the parameters on. I would like to see them.

gerewilliams:
God will help Nigeria......

Abacha regime was better..... God I fear this GEJ so much.... And God will help us out

Abacha's regime was better? Jeez, has it descended to this level? Nigerians seem to suffer from collective historical amnesia, perpetually seeing every succeeding govt to be worse than the previous. No wonder OBJ is now regarded as a saint. And if you're unable to cure yourself of this malaise, I swear you will say the same of the govt that will succeed Jonathan's.

The new political tactic: Accuse another of the same crime you're guilty of before you are accused.

For every single thing that the APC have criticised the PDP, they have done more. The real change I want is when the APC states domesticate the FOI.

OP, I feel there is more to this tale than meets the eye.

In Nigeria, a sane government seems to face the greatest opposition. What OBJ did was a mere cosmetic war against corruption. The sin of GEJ is that he destroyed the 'Owambecracy' some Nigerians are used to. Though his greatest failure is in the area of security, GEJ would be warmly remembered as a president who made the transition from dictatorship into democracy in Nigeria.

From experience it's girls that patronise porns more than boys and the covert nature of it makes it hard to easily detect and heal people of it, except the guilt confesses.

Why is this man's talks always about oil and oil? Is the change not from oil to groundnuts or cocoa?

The hypocrisy of many Nigerians becomes evident whenever issues of oil and its negative impacts on the environment are discussed. When it comes to oil, they are in a hurry to say it's our oil but when its negative impacts on the environment are discussed, like oil spillage, they would say it's the Niger Delta's problem. How many non-Niger Deltans have openly agitated for the cleaning up of the Niger Delta? How many NGOs have been formed to that end by non-Niger Deltans? When OBJ bombed Odi and Yar'adua did same to Ayakoromor and Gbaramatu, how many Nigerians raised their voices against the genocide? How do you expect people like Asari to extend sympathy to the North-Easterner when people don't extend same to the the Niger Deltan. Let us continue to deceive ourselves that all is well when we're actually sitting on an ember. The existence of injustice and exploitation together with internal hegemony, which is made more glaring in the unequal and prebendal distribution of oil blocs, have continued to favour revolutionary pressure and deepen radicalism in our polity.

The list reminds me of my late father who was certainly an epitome of these qualities. I'm following in his footsteps.

This article advances the devil's own game.
