Go for your degree,things are not the same again. I have HND Accounting with professional certs in various accounting field but lucky to have started working before the madness started in the private sector too previously known for applied practical knowledge. It breaks ones heart seen how many HND hides their certs to take jobs as outsourced staffs with ND certs.Albert Einstein went to a Polytechnic but if a Nigerian, the genius in him will be killed by the system.

I thought NCHARA,BEAF and co were making mouth about SS-SE AMALGAMATION.

Now that the SS are officially coming to the SW we are watching what SE is gonna do.

SE is just to form the quorom when decision has been made! Money is not everything, Political power is everything, when the chips are down,the Regions knows who to court first,

As strict adherents to ‘no pain, no gain’ philosophy of life.

If the group believes so much in no pain, no gain, why did they bother to use militancy protest to draw attention to underdevelopment in Niger Delta, they should have continue enduring the pain with the hope of gaining later instead of protesting. Hypocrites,

[b][/b]Presidential slow motion
By Hardball-The Nation

If  President Goodluck Jonathan had known how deeply ironical and revealing of his personality his statement at the First Baptist Church, Garki, Abuja, would be, he would have been more careful in choosing his words. He had gone to the church for the New Year’s service and had, as usual, been offered the chance to say a few words to the congregation. Never in want of something dramatic to say, Jonathan suggested that his slow approach to taking decisions was more a deliberate thing to avoid taking wrong decisions than a reflection of any inherent fault in his psychology. Said he: “When I’m challenged, I think more. I don’t rush to take decisions. I listen more to people; that is why it looks as if I’m slow. I also know that when people rush to take decisions, they also make a lot of mistakes.”
The president was apparently trying to justify why it took him so long in taking a decision to impose a state of emergency in some areas of the four northern states of Niger, Borno, Yobe and Plateau. It is not clear whether the statement also referred to his decision on fuel subsidy removal, which many people thought was too hasty in view of the fact that he said he was still consulting. It is true his decision on state of emergency came alarmingly late, but no one, except perhaps himself, is sure the late decision was a product of slow reflection or of stumbling into an understanding that comes after all other options had been deployed without success.
Even then, we must take the president’s statements with a pinch of salt. He says when he is challenged he thinks more. Now, where on earth did he get that impression from? There is nothing in his antecedents, nothing in his policies, nothing he has said or done on the key issues challenging the stability and growth of Nigeria and its democratic experience to show that his response to challenges is more thinking. If he had offered us a few examples, we would have delightfully considered them and perhaps come to the same conclusion he felt was reasoned. In fact, whether on that same Boko Haram issue, or on fuel subsidy, or on Nigeria’s political evolution, or on the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary, we find nothing to substantiate his assertion that he reasoned more when challenged.
Jonathan also asserts that he listens more to people. This is spuriousness taken too far. If he listened to people as he claimed, his decision on fuel subsidy would have shown it. If indeed he listens, then he is apparently inattentive, and he probably confuses listening with attentiveness. He also says that his late decisions make him look as if he is slow. The truth is that he doesn’t just look like he is slow; he is indeed slow. But if he is slow and he ends up taking the right decisions, we would become accustomed to his speed, as undesirable as it might be, and rejoice that his painstakingness is at least bearing fruit.
But by far the most untruthful of his assertions is the one that equates fast decisions with lots of mistakes. There is nothing anywhere in the humanities or in the social sciences that establishes an inverse relationship between fast decisions and more mistakes. Absolutely nothing. Had he done his famously slow reflection on the topic, he would have known there is no link between the two. He is welcome to his slow decisions, but let him at least not buffet us with his furious mistakes. Since he thinks more when challenged, we throw him the challenge to think fast. Perhaps, for a change, that would see him making better decisions.

Are they flying buses or are they going to be plying non existent roads. Daftness doesnt get worse than this.

Drunken Sailor Fisherman and his Funbling Bunch of idiots,

He needs assurance that there is no unexploded bombs around the church.

20 year old pounded yam can still be hot to burn the finger

If true minimum qualification should be HND/BSC/NCE, no more Police that one will be forced to speak pidgin english to so that he will not feel inferior or accuse you of knowing book!!

He explained that  part of the move to reposition the party was the inauguration of the new executives in each of the six states, who would move the party forward.

The inauguration that will cause another crisis that they wll be battling with till 2015.

To be replaced with Tricycle, it cannot be used to rob. Cities like Owerri, Umuahia banned okada within the metropolis, so no biggie and replaced with tricycle. But all roads should be in good condition.

Junior Minister Defence is Missing in Action too. Or may be the Military boys asked them rollover as bloody civvies while the soldiers address the issue as professional. Below is her office numbers,

Sane decision from competent people.

Nothing commendable unless GEJ tell the Sultan to speak out against BH and condemn their activities or else he gets Dasuki treatment, or exits like Maccido.

Name Nigerian tribes that built Empires before the coming of the Whiteys that extends beyond the current Nigerian map and I will show you advanced civilisations that are already running a system of government similar to what the Whitemen brought.

Oke Afa again, the last time after the bomb blast in Ikeja Cantonment,people were jumping into the canal,thank God the woman jumped to safety this time.

Just finished reading JP Clark poem the Casulties again, how apt for the situation in the country now.
Poets are Prophets,

THE CASUALTIES

John Pepper Clark

The casualties are not only those who are dead;
They are well out of it.
The casualties are not only those who are wounded,
Thought they await burial by installment
The casualties are not only those who have lost
 Person or property, hard as it is
To grape for a touch that some
May not know is not there
The casualties are not those led away by night;
The cell is a cruel place, sometimes a heaven,
No where as absolute as the grave
The casualties are not those who started
A fire and now cannot put to out. Thousands
Are burning that had no say in the matter.
The casualties are not only those who escaping
The shattered shell become prisoners in
A fortress of falling walls.
 
The casualties are many, and a good number well
Outside the scene of ravage and wreck;
They are the emissaries of rift,
So smug in smoke-room they haunt abroad,
They are wandering minstrels who, beating on
 The drum of human heart, draw the world
Into a dance with rites it does not know
 
The drum overwhelm the guns…
Caught in the clash of counter claims and charges
When not in the niche others have left,
We fall.
All casualties of war,
Because we cannot hear other speak,
Because eyes have ceased to see the face from the crowd,
Because whether we know or
Do not know the extent of wrong on all sides,
We are characters now other than before
The war began, the stay- at- home unsettled
By taxes and rumor, the looter for office
And wares, fearful everyday the owners may return,
We are all casualties,
All sagging as are
The case celebrated for kwashiorkor,
The unforeseen camp-follower of not just our war.

@ ondo boi

Seems thats their own way of saying merry christmas to GEJ

Dont they know the way to GEJ residence or the church he will use today instead of attacking innocent people?

BREAKING NEWS: Several killed in Abuja church blast
By Our Reporter 1 hour ago
Font size:   
An early morning explosion in a catholic church in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja killed several people on Sunday.
The church located in Madala, was reportedly attacked by unknown suicide bombers
Several people were also seriously wounded in the blast, report says.
Details later………,


Update – A bomb exploded outside of a Catholic church on the outskirts of the Nigerian capital Abuja during Christmas prayers Sunday and emergency services said they did not have enough ambulances available to evacuate all the dead and the wounded.
No fewer than 10 people have been confirmed dead. There were many injured.
“Yes, I can confirm to you that there has been a bomb blast in a church in Madala (suburb),” National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) spokesman Yushau Shuaibu said by telephone to Reuters.
“We are presently there, evacuating the dead and the injured, but unfortunately we don’t have enough ambulances. Most of our ambulances have gone to operate on the major highways of the country,” he added.
The blast in St Theresa’s Church in Madala, an Abuja suburb blew out windows of at least one house nearby, a witness said.
Madala falls into the capital’s neighbouring Niger State, where there had been several incidents of bombings in recent months.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the blast. The Boko Haram sect, fighting for the Islamisation of Nigeria had claimed a series of bombings in recent months, including the bombing of the UN headquarters in Abuja.
Police and army authorities have waged a recent campaign against the group in their bases in Yobe and Borno states. Close to 61 people have been killed, including three soldiers and seven policemen.
To stem such bombings, the authorities in Nigeria’s Plateau State, yesterday banned the use of motor-cycles during the Yuletide.
