I was not sleeping either and i am not an Ibo man so no reason joining IPOB. I am only speaking for average Nigerians who are tired of elite class

eunisam:
na now u wake up from sleep? very soon you will join IPOB

For the very fist time i listened to Kanu and he made a valid points. Our elite class had taken us for granted and their sons and daughter are now taking us for granted and now is the time for every Nigerians to raise up and fight for what is left before nothing is left to fight for. Kanu has begin to awaken the spirit of average Nigerians irrespective if you are Igbo or Yoruba. My only prayer is Nigeria should divide without war cos war will take us back 50 years.

Petroleum products still move by road for short distance but freight moving are regular and that's is why there is less accident.

dannytoe:
FG should fast develop alternative means of transportation, especially for petroleum product, the pressure on the road is increasing fast, in other countries, petroleum cargo are moved via rail, pipelines, and seaports.

The reality of ground is staggering. APC has performed so bad that the worst of PDP years is better than the best of APC. Buhari has done completely opposite of what he promise that even his Northern allies can't help but confess to his failure. Hunger knows no regions and you forget ethnicity in the face of hunger. APC might still be able to salvage the situation but the look of things spell doom for them and they are on their way to lose 2019 election.

what difference will it make if I'm a male or female?

Tosinex:
are you male or female.

APC chose to ignore reality on ground and concentrate on PDP. PDP is never their problem but numerous election promises that are yet to be fulfill. Average Nigerians does not care about party in government as much as the economy is OK but APC makes it worse off directly and indirectly. Nigeria problem has gone beyond what propaganda can fix and APC better get it house together or it will be a goner in 2019

I will like to meet and possibly chat with Nigerians in Virginia. I don't do Nigerian churches and it's hard to come by Nigerians around here.

I am not a fan of Fayose but he have point. Buhari have children schooling abroad and goes to London for common ear treatment, only to claim he is a modest person, what will he do if he is flamboyant? Everything about Buhari is contradictory. He accused GEJ of wasting tax payers money on private jet while he is wasting foreign exchange just to pay parking fee while the jet gather dust in London. He accused Yaradua of not resigning due to his illness while is he London sick and the economy is on autopilot. Buhari will end up being the worst president Nigeria ever have....

NwaAmaikpe:



Fayose is a hypocrite just like Buhari.


None of his kids studied abroad,
But his sister studied abroad...and he has houses abroad,
He has investments abroad.
He holidays abroad.


Who is fooling who?
Enough of whipping up unnecessary sentiments.
All Nigerian politicians deserve to be executed in a revolution.
None of them are good.

What is salesmanship? Commerce should be merged with economics. Our curriculum needs to be overhaul to meet 21th century educational demands

I took time to read your write up but could not make sense of it. Your write up has nothing to do with the post and you made the worse thing worse off by losing sanity and cursing people old enough to be your father and grandfather. You may have reason to be against Afenifere but you still need to pass your point across with sanity. Learn to be civil while you make your point..

lilytender:
Has Afenifere or Afenifebi members returned the money they collected from Goatluck Jonaddaft to rig election for him? If not, they should all be locked up with captured Ikorodu Baddoo members. The so called Afenifere as an organization has been rendered useless by the Jagaban, the Jagaban has made us see that the organization called Afenifere is an association of old thieves. The probe of the Boko Haram arms money has also exposed Afenifere as a group of blood sucking old idiots who should all be stoned to death for collection bribe from Goatluck to influenced the 2015 election.

Since the man you collected bribe from could not do it for 6 years, Buhari too will not do it in his 8 years. If you do anyhow, you will see anyhow because you would be seen as enemies of the State and treated as such. You old thives said that the so called restructuring would be done on Nigerians' terms and not on APC's terms. Let me remind you that APC members are Nigerians and not Togolese and they cut across all the over 250 tribes in Nigeria and not a looting regional organization like yours. Least I forget, I am a proud omo Oduduwa and not a shameless Oduduwa prodigal son like you thieves..

Cute profile pic.. What happen to your left eye?

fastgyal:
Not just guys, even I as a lady. Let me be sincere, there are guys I admire and silently wished to be wooed by them.Most times I try to initiate the conversation. its just a pity that when ladies make the move first, they're tagged as being cheap or desperate.

Judiciary is not an extention of executive arm of government and not meant to do the biding of the executive. EFFC and executive arm of government in APC led administration always crucify anybody perceive to be corrupt without doing their diligent home work and get their fact right and end up losing the case because all they care about is scoring political point.

GavelSlam:
The judiciary is the bane of the nation.

I'm against calling Nigeria names but I can't help but think see stuff like this. We want FDI but act like we are in store age. who is going to want to invest in our country if we still have cow and camel in streets? hmmm..

I know you're a learned person but I beg to disagree with you on your assumption. First, APC is not a selling brand right now except they turn around and fix things ASAP.
As things stand right now in Nigeria, PDP will win even in APC stronghold because of APC performance has been awful. The new part new structure in ground before talking about winning election and we are yet to see that.

TonyeBarcanista:
PDP will finish distant 3rd in 2019

Hope so too but I find it difficult to believe how APC blow the good will people gave them in less than 2 years. APC candidate will have a difficult job to do in 2019 in selling his manifesto to the people because of this present administration is a let down.

ivandragon:
well, I only hope we would get to see relatively credible candidates from all parties in 2019.

I agreed with you partially. GEJ is never a saint and has his numerous fault but he is the only one in PDP now that command respect from North to East, South to West and PDP will only be a viable opposition if GEJ chaimpion the cause of fixing the broken PDP

ivandragon:
that GEJ does not have corruption cases directly linked to him does not exonerate him from his faults.


he was at the helm of affairs when some very nasty underhand dealings took place & while it is certainly true that APC thrives on deceit, there is enough evidence to show that GEJ lacked the capacity to call some of his main power brokers to order... (deziani especially).


furthermore, I proposed an option in the event he leads PDP, so its not like I have totally rejected the notion of him leading the party...

Nobody or a politician is a saint either. I'm not a fan of GEJ but he has yet to be convicted of any currupt case in any court of law. He is too soft but stealing public funds might not be among his doing. Tell me how many properties he owned in Nigeria or how many houses he owned outside of Nigeria and I will accept he is corrupt. Average Nigerians had seen beyond APC propaganda and not again will those propaganda work out for APC in winning election cos of the abysmal performance in government. GEJ is the only person is PDP for now who can command respect across board and position the party. PDP does not necessarily need to win election in 2019 but a stronger opposition is good for our democracy and the way APC is performing now, Labour party stand a better chance to win an election in Nigeria

ivandragon:
hmm...


GEJ is too gentle (& stained) to be the leading light to revive the PDP. but if the party insist on using him, then, its best the party quickly puts forth its presidential candidate so that GEJ's faults are not used extensively against the party.


a Dankwanbo/Adesina or Dankwanbo/Elumelu or Dankwanbo/Stan combo would not be too bad.


we must begin to vote based on abilities...

Mercedes Benz is more expensive than Toyota anywhere in the world and if you can't afford Toyota, then you have no business pricing Mercedes. Honda and Toyota are on the same price arrange cos of their durability

jaychubi:
Toyota brands in naija are always over priced toks or naija used BC they are strong, rugged n durable with serious demands. 70% of cars on our road are Toyotas.

Try other brands like Nissan, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Honda if u want sth cheaper than killing urself with trekking

Common sense should tell you that they claimed to have found evidence of the looting. Witnesses can lie but fact and figures does not lie.. As much as I do not support PDP led government, APC and Buhari has been nothing but a total failure. Propaganda stopped working a while ago and an average Nigerian can see APC led government has nothing to offer and our economy is on autopilot.

blackpanda:
Relax. Common sense should tell u that in an open trial witnesses can be lured, threatened or even killed. Remember we are talking about a man who has operated the highest security office in the country and who is still very well connected. Any person coming to testify against him can easily be eliminated period.


But really, why are u so in support of dasuki?? Did u benefit from the loot

He must be power drunk not to resign and concentrate on his health. Anybody can get sick but when your sickness is persistent, then it's time to trow in the towel and concentrate more on his health.

It's not wishful thinking. I'm telling you what I know. He can only get the maximum if the judge presiding his case is racist. He you ever heard about 3 strike? Google it and you will understand what that means in State judicial system though 3 strike has been long gone



























[quote author=EgunMogaji post=57234157][/quote]

I am not a lawyer but I am familiar with United States justice system. If found guilty of all the counts, all the sentences will run simultaneously. In sentencing a criminal United States, the judge consider a lot of things and first among it is if the person is a first offender or repeated offender, if the criminal is a first offender, the Judge give you the minimum keeping in mind or hopefully you will return because keeping in prison for a long time is it drain on taxpayers money.














uote author=abbey621 post=57233772]

I don't think you are familiar with the U.S justice system! He is facing 7 counts of grand theft and 2 other counts bordering on identity theft with each charge likely to earn 1 to 5 years in jail. This means if he is found guilty of all counts he could face 30 years or more, with a good lawyer he might not serve up to 5 years but certainly more than a year but with public defenders they won't even stress themselves. First offender theory is meant for U.S citizens, when it comes to foreigners and even permanent residents you are at the mercy of the court and there is no issue hotter in the U.S right now than cyber identity theft or cyberfraud. Best case scenario, the promoter Chukwuemeka confesses that Dammy was not aware of all those transactions, the attempt to use up to 5 cards for one purchase and that the Samsung phone used belongs to someone else, this might save him from a harsh sentence but the Nigerian stigma will always make this case a hard one for any defense team.[/quote]

I don't think so. public defender is not a bad thing. its cost so much to hire a lawyer and considering his fake life, he might just not be able to afford one which leave him with no choice. On a normal circumstances, he should get less than a year if found guilty cos this a his first time and just a transaction.

abbey621:
6 to 11 months is a fallacy considering he is facing up to 9 counts, I bet he gets a minimum of 5 years considering public defenders/lawyers are not going to waste their energy.

Credit cards, Internet scam etc are federal crime in State. He is a first offender so I guess he just going to get a slap in the wrist between 6 to 11 months which is a misdemeanor but if he get a meet a racist judge, then he is in for a big sh**t.

I'm not a fan of GEJ but if GEJ is a definition of failure, what is Buhari? Average Nigerians on the street will prefer pre May 2015 to post May 2015. GEJ has numerous fault and he is not an Angel but a clueless GEJ is better than brilliant Buhari considering the situation of things. my opinion though.

TwoBottles:
Any negative utterance directed towards GEJ and his ineptitude will always be welcomed by me. He is the definition of failure; he failed himself, he failed his people, he failed the South and above all, Nigerians. Though at times failure can be excused because everyone is liable to fail one way or the other but when failure is mixed with weakness, it becomes irritating to the onlooker. His wife would have done better in his place.

How do you defend a commander in chief who couldn't command? How do you defend a leader who placed women in sensitive ministries and allowed them menstruate on every available space? How do you defend an employer who is afraid of his employees? How do you defend a weakling, who couldn't cancel the election of most northern states even with video evidence of under age voting? A Southerner who couldn't unite the South and has left us to the mercy of northern supremacists. A leader who couldn't tell friends from foes. A man who can't boast of any tangible project in the entire South. A leader who let his office overwhelme him. If I am to write about this man's failure, I could write for days without pausing. And I say again, his wife would have done better.

Nothing emotional about it. I just felt a suggestion to the problem will be more appreciated. Peace

eledalo:
I usually read without commenting but felt compelled to express my views when I read that post. However those were not typographical errors (typos), that was just terrible English.

Please excuse me if you were emotionally scarred by my comment, it was not my intention. I apologise 'on all hands of the plane'.

JAMB should centralized the process and regulate it. JAMB does not need to open CBT centers but regulate the private CBT center who wish to participate and stipulate the price CBT centers will charge. GRE and GMAT do not have CBT centers across the world even in Nigeria but a center will never ask you for money cos they know it's automatic disqualification for such center.

I'm not making excuses for his typo but the question is.. Is that your only contribution to the post? You can do better next time .....

eledalo:
No offence, but this is terrible English throughout. "fragmentate this manace" "On the other hand of the plane" "this students"

Nigerian mentality. Billionaire in State don't have a driver. Steve Jobs drove himself til death. Nobody has a driver here except the President and some very high ranking official.

ettybaba:
Not having a driver is both senseless and unproductive.
People hire drivers so that they can attend to other things while on transit. A governor should be able to make important calls, attend to files and read the newspapers and letters or even rest while on transit.
What is wasting of money in paying an indigent of his state to drive him around?

Good development but what is the point of unveiling WiFi? Providing WiFi is no dividend of good government cos almost every part of the world has WiFi even restaurant and train station.

I don't have a poultry bro. I am just making suggestion to you.

vislabraye:
I would like to get some info about poultry farming.
What type of poultry farming are you into ?

What is the start up capital for 500 birds for instance ?
How much do you buy a pieece of land ?
