DickTator1:
Shut up already, you northerners ruled for 38yrs already, the problem didn't just start today.

I am nt a northerner,i am from the south west and christian.And i am nt a politician.Corruption thrives under this government and these political jobbers smile home everyday with our stolen money.And u seem to be one of the beneficiaries of Jonathan bad government.I dont support any political party bt i am advocating for a change,Nigerians are wallowing in abject poverty.Jonathan to Nigeria is jst like a deep freezer taken to an iceland.

If a Yaradua cld reduce the fuel pump price from 70 naira to 65naira per litre and his successor,Johathan cld increase it astronomically to 97naira per litre.And if a Sanusi as a CBN gov and muslim northerner cld remove 100naira ATM charges and a Emefiele,the current CBN gov,a southerner added to the masses problem by reintroducing 65naira ATM charges.My fellow Nigerians,it is high time we allowed someone from the north to lead us,they seem to feel our sufferings more than our so called southern brothers,sentiments apart.

Good for her.But average nigerians have not felt the impact.Under her nose,states being governed by opposition parties are being starved of funds,billions of dollars stollen oil money cant be accounted for,ministries and parastatals activities are at their lowest ebbs because of inadequate funding.

As far as i am concerned,there is no future in any profession,the future depends on an individual who holds the profession.

It is nt unexpected anyway,the Pdp govs who defected to apc were given the party structure.And u dont expect a sitting gov to be controlled by his party members.The aggrieved members can defect to either apc or labour party.And there is a room for them to return back to pdp after taking power from mimiko in 2017.We are in Nigeria where anything goes.pdp in ondo is already divided bf the arrival of mimiko,it has pdp gbasibe and pdp jagaban.Definitely,mimiko is enjoying the unflinching support of pdp gbasibe.And as it is,the national leadership of the pdp needs mimiko more than it needs the aggrieved members.To say the fact,mimiko has lost his hitherto popularity among the people of ondo state and i wil nt be surprised if people vote massively for alternative party in the coming elections.

Ekiti people cant eat their cake and stil have it.

annoymous: Really? Lwkmd


I don't mean to be rude and I respect the profession but to make ridiculous claims like this doesn't help anyone's ministry

Laugh wan kill me die too.

cbrass: Really What makes it to be that tough? Afteral its animals they want to treat

I wonder o my brother.

My deepest and heartfelt commiserations goes to the gallant soldier's family.
We got from history that u were a force to reckon with during the Biafran civil war.
History will never forget u and you have made a niche in the HALL of FAME.
Adieu!

retepmurt: I say for the umpteenth time;
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN ANY PROFESSION,THE FUTURE LIES IN THE HANDS OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HOLDS THE PROFESSION.

As far as i am concerned,this has settled all arguments.

The most interesting news of the century.

retepmurt: This country called Nigeria get a lot of problems o.
FIFA again,they dont even mind wht the country is going thru in the hands of these boko haram members.
Doctors too dey on strike,all govt hospitals in the country are closed,thousands of Helpless Nigerians die daily,if u ve nt fallen a victim,u no go know.
Jobless youths in their millions,some dey wallow in abject poverty under their parents,girls dey do prostitution,some guys engage in nefarious and heinous activities,many don become 'accidental' musicians and dancers.
Our politicians are nw political jobbers.
Electricity tarrifs don go haywire,despite the fact say the country is in total darkness courtesy of these greedy politicians who bought our Nepa.
Jonathan dey Abuja dey hold meetings with fraudulent committess that are made up of questionable xters.
Corruption don turn cankerworms and has eaten deep into the fabric of Nigeria economy.
Who go safe Nigeria.I hp God no go suspend Nigeria one day.

This piece summarizes Nigeria's problems.Kudos!

O ga o!

The match seems to have been shifted to 10pm

Waiting endlessly and hopefully for a USA-based fiance who has already married an Akata woman abroad to get a stay.And the lady continues to tell her serious-minded suitors boastfully in Nigeria that her guy is based abroad.She waits until she develops menopause.

According to poll pundits, Ayo Fayose of the
Peoples Democratic Party won the 21 June Ekiti
election because he was a man of the people; a
populist who panders to the wishes of the people. He rides on bikes, he drinks the local wine with
them, plays ‘ayo’, and so on with them. Pundits claimed he was not aloof like Kayode
Fayemi, the man he defeated. In nearby Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, a senator,
who also wants to sweep away the APC governor,
Rauf Aregbesola, has been copying some of
Fayose’s acts, like riding on bikes. Over to you Osun state voters: the verdict is yours
whether Omisore is real on is merely embarked on
electioneering tricks or gimmicry?

So tell this forum ur own position in ur class then.And hw many of ur classmates were able to seek admission for medicine.
Pls sentiments apart,be truthful to ur self.
I am nt a Medical Doctor,i am only saying the truth.
Most of these people dat ended up with paramedical courses were denied admission to read medicine.
Being able to write or speak english is not a qualification for being able to read any course u chose to,there are prerequisites.Some people are very brillant and intelligent,of which the greater number of this set of gifted people read medicine.

This is the type of topic wey suppose dey front page and all those i ve been reading today.

As useless as a dead/condemned clock is,the clock stil dey make sense or talk true twice in 24 hours o.

These APC Leaders mean business o.They may soon send a high powered delegation to Jonathan himself.

Federal govt shd do everything possible to avert this imminent strike.
This festive period is characterized with cases of traffic accidents and watching Doctors to embark on this strike without stopping them wil be dangerous.
The masses wil definitely bear the brunt.

O ga o!E be like the main goal of man u this season is to beat arsenal by a lone goal at old trafford.
And dem don accomplish am...

Retired Soldier Killed Son Over Electricity Bill In
Akure: Major Desilva Adedipe On The Run An ex-soldier has killed his own son in Akure, the
capital city of Ondo State Nigeria. The murder happened on Tuesday at Maronu St in
Araromi area of the city. Major Desilva Adedipe reportedly shot dead his son, Ayo Adedipe at close range over an argument
over electricity bill. It was revealed that immediately after the incident
many of the residents fled the area for fear of being
arrested by security operatives. It was gathered that an argument broke up
between the duo over payment of supplementary
Power Holding Company of Nigerian (PHCN)
electricity bill, despite the best efforts by neighbors
to settle the matter between the father, Major
Adedipe and his son, Ayo. After being repeated abused by his son, sources
told DailyTimes that the ex-military officer went
inside their house picked up his gun and shot his
son in the chest at close range. The boy died
immediately. Many residents, who spoke, described the incident
as quite surprising and said they were
disappointed with the actions of the father whom
they said they begged severally to forget the
matter. According to girlfriend of the deceased, Olaide, the
incident happened after Ayo’s father discovered
that the late Ayo had not being paying the
electricity money handed over to him. Olaide said the father found out that his son had
been diverting the money but would show his
father fake electricity bills as proof the money had
been paid. Daily Times learnt that, Ayo’s Father on realizing he
had killed his son hurriedly carried his body out of
the compound to unknown destination. A commercial motorcyclist was said to have raised
an alarm after seeing the ex-military man in a bush
at Onigari, Shagari Village Akure trying to dump the
body in the area, prompting Major Desilva Adedipe
to take to his heels. Confirming the incident, Spokesman of the Nigerian
Police Force, Ondo State Command, Wole Ogodo,
said one Olaide, who claimed to be the girlfriend of
the deceased, reported the matter to them. “The compliant rushed to the station and said the
suspect whom they used to call ‘Old Soldier’
allegedly shot his own son during an argument
over NEPA bill” Ogodo said. Ogodo said men from the command swung into
action immediately the incident was reported and
went after the assailant were the body was found
under a tree. He also said the remains of the deceased has been
deposited at the state specialist hospital morgue in
Akure while an autopsy will be carried out. The Police image maker however said the case has
been transferred to the state’s Criminal
Investigation Department while he promised that
they were on the trail of the suspect.naijagists.com/retired-soldier-killed-son-over-non-payment-of-electricity-bill-in-akure/
