See Newpaper report: "Sequel to our exclusive story earlier this month about abandoned oil rigs at the outer Marina in Lagos, Vanguard learnt that the rigs may have been seized by FirstBank of Nigeria Plc for alleged debts of about N25 billion owed by Seawolf Oil Services Limited, owners of the rigs. As a result, the two rigs – Onome and Oritsetimeyin, may not have been abandoned after all, but kept under watch by FirstBank. This is happening as more than 450 workers of the company demand payment of N3 billion allegedly owed them since August, 2013." - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/02/firstbank-seizes-seawolfs-rigs-over-n25bn-debt/#sthash.iwyDEJ7D.dpuf

These people should be very careful. Ebola is very dangerous, and quite deadly. It is not something you give people false beliefs on. Many will perish!

Pastor Kumuyi is balanced. He teaches Biblical healing but NEVER preaches against medical science or medication. I fully agree Ebola is very deadly and ALL should take full precautions and adhere to medical advice. Deeper Life provided awareness and sensitisation to its members on Ebola so to say someone was healed via prayer does not mean he is saying people shouldn’t seek medical help. However, please DO NOT tell me there is something God cannot do.

Very soon this Man of God Will ask to be elected President of Liberia or Sierra Leone

Pastor Kumuyi has no interest in the politics of this world. He is very focused and un-distracted from the Heavenly vision -repent and believe the Gospel. "Jesus only is our message".

Ah! Even No 19. is approaching oh...

Please kindly read http://nairametrics.com/are-these-the-4-dividend-stocks-to-own-in-the-light-of-the-new-cbn-dividend-policy-on-banks/ to gain insight before buying banking stocks. Going by the new CBN policy, some of these banks wont be paying dividend, hence, informed investors are moving to the ones that are likely to pay dividend

Thanks indeed for sharing. Only 4 Banks were given green light in the report yet even those ones are bleeding, perhaps except for Stanbic? Even GTB, Zenith and Access are being battered, bloodied and bullied by the Bears?

Is there anything we need to know about FBN and UBA? Both and a few others are nose diving like gravity is angry with them!

Is it in Jos or Abuja and how much?

My people see feedback from a colleague about same flight. Its definitely not a good one at all!: "It was the same flight that took us to Abuja after it eventually arrived from Abuja a little past 1.00am. We landed in Abuja almost 2.30am. Our flight was originally 1845hrs!
I can equally make a narrative of what transpired at the Port Harcourt end that night, but I’d rather leave it for now."

All, please this does not call for insulting Amaechi neither am I deliberately spreading rumours. I heard of the planned protest and only asked if anyone can confirm. A well-known company in Port Harcourt has asked its staff to stay at home till later today on account of same information. We are here to help each other. All these politics will come and go, politicians will reconcile or sort themselves out and those who die for any politician will be buried in vain!

Whilst I won’t dabble into or dispute the alleged politics surrounding the postponement, it must be said that INEC has challenges which appear not to have been made known publicly. I tried to get my PVC in Port Harcourt last Saturday (same date of the postponement) and all in vain. I had to eventually get to the INEC office in Obio Akpor LGA -the one opposite Brainfield School along the East West road and the PVCs (apparently just supplied), were being sorted out and packed into bags for conveyance to various registration centres. People massed at the place with no clarity of where to get their PVCs. Mine was to be at Ward 3 but someone told me the lady in charge of distribution at the ward, who I learnt wasn’t a direct INEC staff, hadn’t been around for days. Also, we were told that many of the INEC staff including their "oga" were in a training that Saturday meaning that staff were yet to be trained before then?

Please can anyone confirm reports of planned anti-postponement rally today in Port Harcourt or other parts of Rivers State? I hear there is protest ongoing around the Government House and somewhere in Rumuomasi already?

heywhytech1:
Please be informed that there will be a rally by the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday, January 30, 2015 to be held at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere

Is it Presidential or Governorship campaign rally?

Can anyone confirm information that APC would hold its presidential rally in Lagos tomorrow? And venue please. Thanks.

MORNDEW:
Thought they said Amaechi has not performed. Who built those roads nd stadium they ar about using. We shud help ourselves God is watching.

Valid point but Amaechi did almost all of that as a seating PDP Governor not a decampee APC Governor please. History cannot be re-written or wished away.

An Enugu-Ezike based herbalist in Aji community of Igboeze North LGA of Enugu state, Chief Simon Odo, popularly referred to as ‘Onu Uwa’ says he desires to have a village of his own, for a good reason:
The 68 years old herbal practitioner is married to all of 56 women and over 300 children, and he told Daily Times, “I can only stop marrying more wives whenever I can no longer satisfy women sexually.” The renowned herbalist who branded himself “Africa’s King Solomon” our correspondent that from biblical records, King Solomon had 700 concubines; “There is nothing wrong in my having retinue of wives”.

Early life Story “My name is Simon Odo, born in 1947 into a Christian family. I later became a mass server at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Aji where I was baptized in 1956 and got confirmed in 1958. I suffered so much as a child. According his account, he lost his father at the age of 16 over a parcel of land his father swore he will not give up to his kinsmen. “After his death, I was also inflicted with tuberculosis by the same people because I demanded to know the cause of the death of my father. I suffered from the tuberculosis for five years after which they crippled me for another five. At this point I cried and said, God why will you allow all these to befall me.” How I became a native doctor “After my outcry, I ran to one old native doctor in Ijebu Ode and stayed there for seven years, it was there I learnt the trade of native medicine and began to practice. “I do all manner of jobs for people, but the only thing I don’t do is to prepare charm for armed robbers. If you go to Anambra state, all the people late Osita Osadebe mentioned in his music “People’s club” had at one time or the other visited my shrine for services.” Counting 54 years in practice, Odo said he has aided people to travel abroad with his native medicine practice and boasts that no embassy can deny them visa to travel to any country of their choice.. “I am not a politician, but a good number of politicians are my clients, they come here with all manner of gifts after a successful business.”

The women in my life “I have 56 wives and they all are hardworking; some own restaurants while some are civil servants. Three of my wives are graduates. At times I quarrel with my wives, but it is on record that none of my wives have been involved in adultery, because if anyone of them indulges in adultery, she will be stuck with the man without been separated for a long period; so none of them can dream of keeping a man outside my home. “I have sent about five of my wives home because of misbehavior.” Daily Times gathered that his wives come from the tribes and tongues across the country and he is welcome wherever he proposes to a woman. “I married both from Yoruba, Benue, Kogi, Calabar, Anambra and Enugu among others. I will advise men not to marry up to three wives. Any person who wishes to emulate me should prepare his casket; this is my agreement with God. I will not stop marrying till I die, or until my manhood stops working. “I am a blessed man; I spend the average of N1.4 million on feeding my household monthly and I give out cars out as gifts to my in-laws.” The old fellow said there is no magic to his love story as people may think other than love and sexual satisfaction. “All my marriages were gifts of love and not by charm. I marry all my wives according to the custom and tradition of where they come from. I don’t marry with less than N100, 000.00. I have built houses for some of my in-laws, and as I said earlier some of my in-laws receive car gifts from me; you can go and verify my claims. “I do not marry anyone from rich families; I prefer to marry from the poor ones because this enables me to help them one way or the other. I came to the world for beautiful women to love, to follow and marry me.” Short of being a nymphomaniac, the Odo boasts he satisfies all his wives sexually. “None of them have complained of sex starvation; I make love to a reasonable number of them daily and I believe that sexual satisfaction of my wives is a gift from God. “The beautiful aspect of my family is that there was a time about seven of my wives put to bed in one day. The young ones that are still active in bed are more than 11 at any given time, and my latest wife who I just married last December is only 15 years.” Number of children “My children are numerous and that is what I bargained for as Africa’s King Solomon. Out of 56 wives, some have seven, eight, five and three children; some are still pregnant, just last week, one of them delivered a set of twins. “I can’t say the number that is pregnant as I speak with you. I feed all of them comfortably without hassles. I have an estate to solve accommodation challenges of my family. All my wives and children have never complained of lack of accommodation. My children, to say the fact, are over 300 to my credit.” Does he have problems recognizing his children individually? “I recognize my children because they all have marks as identity. My children don’t mix themselves up either and can never sleep with themselves or marry themselves. If they do the person will die instantly: Training my children “I am a lover of Western education; I own a nursery and primary school where some of my children attend with some of my wives as teachers, and I also employed other capable teachers. I train those of them who crave for education even to the university level. “Now, some of my children are graduates; one of my daughters was the immediate councilor that represented Aji ward and she was the deputy leader of Igbo Eze North Local Government legislative council. “Another of my daughter, Amala, was given scholarship to further her in London.” Need for my own village “My children all know themselves because they all bear tribal marks which I gave them; a good number of them are married with children. In no distant time I may apply for recognition of my own village ONUWA village. The number of my children and great and great grand children command a force in Aji community. “In my house, there is freedom of worship; some of my children are Catholic, some Anglican, while some attend Pentecostal Churches. We still have those who took after me as native doctors. We are one mega family; we consume one bag of rice every Sunday and we eat from one big pot. “The grown up ones are no longer staying with me; they have built their own houses. My first son, Emeka Odo was born in 1969; he is equally a native doctor with his own family. I have also giving out many of my daughters hand marriage. Daily Times spoke to his youngest of his wives he married just last month, 15 years old Chidinma from Okutu village in Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State. “I came in contact with my husband who had married one girl from my place; he approached me for marriage and I accepted, then he went to my parents, performed the marriage rites and took me as wife. I was in JSS III at the time of my marriage.” Chidinma dispelled any rumour of her husband using charm to marry young girls. “I want the whole world to know that I married my husband out of love. He came to my parents after he approached me and we both agreed before going to seek my hands in marriage from my parents, I became convinced he is the one I want to marry even after I learnt that he is the famous Onuwa with many wives I am not worried because since I entered this house he has remained in charge of his home and properly taking care of every of our needs including that of all his children. “Onuwa has these managerial skills of managing his home effectively. We have not had any quarrels that we cannot manage”. Another of his wives, Ado Odo, 24, is a graduate from Benue State. “I am a 300 level student of Mass Communication Department of Benue State University. I am happily married to Chief Simon Odo, A.K.A Onuwa. “My marriage to Onuwa is six loving months old and I have never regretted taking my decision to marry my husband. Since I married my husband he has remained caring to both me and my other senior wives. He likes education which is one of the reasons why I married him because he promised that he will take care of my studies to any level I want. “He is a man who keeps to his words; just recently he bought a car for my mother and bought a motor bike for me for my use. He has done a lot for my parents and I want to carry his baby in no distant time. My husband is full of life, honest and loving, not minding our age bracket, he remains very understanding”. What would you say to Africa’s King Solomon? He certainly deserves the title, and a village to his name.

It’s true bro. The man genuinely pulls such crowds in the North and he doesn’t need to sweat or pay a dime. The only thing is that generally, some of the crowd (not specific to APC or PDP) we see dont have PVCs and wont vote. Some could be well-meaning but under-aged and all these apply to both parties. Some of the Nairaland commentators of both APC and PDP have no PVC, some are posting their comments from the diaspora and won’t vote while others are arm chair analysts who are completely detached from the grassroots and reality in their respective States or even the States they are commenting about. Again, INEC, security forces and the voters have varying roles to ensure that votes count.

Sirniyeh:
First obligation before GMB after taken oath of office may 29, 2015 is cutting national expenses. This he agreed to during interactive section he had with Arewa youth over the weekend. Since he is not a man after materialism, a senator will earn not more than N500K per/m

This sounds like a populist proposition but it will never work. Salaries of the lawmakers are not fixed by executive fiat and the lawmakers I know, do not know the difference between APC and PDP when it comes to "their" money. I worked there previously and I can tell you that the democratic set up will not allow certain things that we wish or dream. Don’t be deceived, for most politicians irrespective of political party, politics is an investment and once they can’t get ticket on one party's platform, the decamp to another and claim to have become something else. Vote for the individual merit of each candidate please.

PassingShot:
Let say it's not verified and the cable did not quote anyone.

Thats better bro. So I am not a "wicked liar" afterall! Nigeria will get there hopefully.

PassingShot:
Stop spreading lies! Nigeria is where it is because of wicked liars like you.

My brother, I am sure you meant the Cable which carried the report is the "wicked liar". Much love to you and Nigeria any day.

As a counterforce, Amaechi ─ who is the biggest financial backer of Buhari and is heavily favoured to pick the vice-presidential slot ─ flew in a heavy “war chest” to the pro-Buhari camp in Lagos on Wednesday morning, sources told TheCable.
The strategy in the pro-Buhari camp is to match Atiku naira-for-naira and dollar-for-dollar.
“Atiku cannot just come in and pick the ticket after all the hard work we did breaking up the PDP and setting up the APC,” a southern governor told TheCable on phone.
