I don't think so o,because people in the west practicing the same religion Aint that violent...I think some people brainwash them.
You are right there. Violence has no place in the true Islamic doctrine. Few evil men uses Islam to propergate their own devilish ideas and only the ignorant ones are buying into those ideas. No true Muslim will kill.
-I am a Christian though but I believe we all worship one Supreme God. Just in different ways-

Coming from a governor, thus is very blunt. Diplomacy would achieve greater reults anyday.

This railway station was completed by Buhari administration. Give him credit, too.
Every well meaning Nigerian knows the Buhari administration has achieved quite a lot withing the little time it has spent in government and is one administration that has the overall interest of all Nigerians at heart (and not the few political elite).
I have interests in most places in Abuja (including Kubwa) which means i visit kubwa whenever am in. Late 2014, I was opportune be there and i to met the places I mentioned like that, meanwhile GEJ was still presiding then.
If things has further been enhanced, thanks for the corretion.

Dear, am neither a GEJ or PMB 'proponent',am just a Nigerian who believes in the beauty of the Nigerian dream (A united and prosperous country). I can't and won't hate on any leader whom God has mandated to oversee the affairs of the nation, all I asked of him is that the brother should try and be less biased in his posts and acknowledge the work done by each government.
Governance is a transient institution and people will always come and go, but our dear country will always be there for us so why the much ado from our youths on individuals?

Hypocrisy is when you defend a Dino Melaye that brazenly flaunt his wealth before our eyes and then you turn around to criticize the entire senate for budget padding. I personally can't say amen to prayers said by Dino or Yerima, its my opinion, am not judging anyone. ....Dino/yerima in my opinion are comedians I don't take them serious.
Did you see me judge any particular senator offer budget padding?
I can condemn any evil in governance as a Nigerian, but neither of us has the right to decide who's prayer God answers. He is God and he alone can judge. Remember David, an adulterer,a killer and a man who can easily pass as the real hypocrite was also a man after God's heart-to-heart apple of his eye. So dear....

BusinessRe: Femi Otedola Loses $400Million In 9 Weeks - FORBES by zonax(m): 2:54am On May 04, 2016
WriteBoy:
This dude did not lose money. Shareholders sold of their bonus shares, institutional investors bought them up. From what I understand, a good portion of investors cashed in their chips which caused the share price to fluctuate.

Femi is still the biggest winner here, he issued 216 million shares—and got for himself 170 million of those shares, leaving for the other share holders a measly 46 million. Two things: He further consolidated his majority shareholding position and kept money in his pocket. Wise guy.
Home run!
BusinessRe: Femi Otedola Loses $400Million In 9 Weeks - FORBES by zonax(m): 2:47am On May 04, 2016
The comments here though.
Every .....can attest that he (Otedola ) is just been a wise businessman and investor. Investors selling out of panic, baba Otedola buying calmly (certainly using others) which he will resell to those same people at even higher share prices when they get over their frenzy (cashing in), increasing his portfolio and creating even greater wealth.

Only few will understand.

We should all pray in our houses, enough of the hypocrisy at government functions....imagine Dino Melaye saying the opening prayers at an event and a Sani Yerima saying the closing prayer.
And who are you to have an issue with who prays where and when?

Now I have confirmed that indeed, they are way too many kids in nairaland (with all due respect to the sensible adults).
How on earth can any human find a reason to justify making fun of this young man.
That might be the only one he could lay his hands on. Going by my permutations, he had no other option on what to appear in but that, not that he wanted to stand out by looking so odd.
Besides, far from what he's putting on, they are chances that the guy might be one of the best graduating students of that school/dept.

OP Kindly attend to my DM.

Do not judge so you won't be judge.
Many rappers have talked about death/dying in their songs. That he did doesn't mean he knew it would happen neither does it mean he sold out to the devil.

TravelRe: Important Things To Take Along If You Are Relocating To Usa For The First Time by zonax(m): 1:52am On Mar 24, 2016
kairu:
Yes it’s finally going to happen. Your lifelong dream of living and working in America is finally coming to pass. Your employer is sending you to their U.S. subsidiary, you won a green card lottery, your relative has finally filed for you or you sold all your properties and inheritance and relocated anyway.

In my own case we were very excited about this opportunity and could not wait to relocate. So we left behind our friends, grandparents, nephews, nieces, co-workers and a job for me that just got comfortable with a promotion!

Any way in our excitement we forgot to do quite a lot of things which later became very stressful to obtain. So here are some of them;

International Drivers License/Permit

It’s definitely an option to get an international drivers license before you enter the US. Most cities in the US don’t have good public transportation and you may need to borrow, rent or buy a car in other to move from one point to another. But this is only a temporary solution for the first few months. After that you will still have to get a US drivers license. The police might start to give you a hard time about it especially if you get stopped for a traffic offence.

Get those Academic Transcripts!

You must have Your Secondary /University Transcript of Records. Especially if you plan to either school or work in the US. Request it from your University Registrar. Try to request as many copies as you can. Then have them evaluated by Credentials Evaluation Services. The CES is a government approved organization for those who are educated outside the United States but want to pursue further education in U.S. institutions of higher learning or work with their credentials. The cost I think is $385.00 and you can check out www.cgfns.org for more clarification. You can actually do this evaluation even before you travel!

A note of warning though….. Don’t be surprised if your Nigerian first class degree is evaluated to a second class lower. I beg that’s how I see am! Apparently our degrees no qualify! But just check it out before leaving before you find out that you left Nigeria a doctor and is only qualified to be an RN!

Take the Approved English Language Proficiency Examinations

If you want to further your education this is a must. As far as you were not born here and you did not begin your early education here, then yes you need this document.

There are three sets of approved exams; (1) Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) plus the Test of Written English (TWE) and the Test of Spoken English (TSE); (2) the Test of English in International Communications (TOEIC) plus TSE and TWE; or (3) the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).

Unlocked Cell Phones

Yes that your very expensive unlocked cell phone can be used here with another carrier. Most cell phone companies in the US sell locked cellphones. Although you can buy unlock codes and phones on places like Ebay when you arrive. it’s interesting but I found out its easier and sometimes cheaper to buy phones from Nigeria, then bring it here and just pick a carrier. All you do is insert your SIM and you’re good to go. Rather than paying for phones with 2 year service plans.

An Adapter for Your Various Electronics

The voltage in America is 110 while in Nija its 220/240! In those days, we needed voltage converters to either step up or step down the voltages or else our electronics would blow up.
But now that’s not really necessary since most electronics such as cell phones, iPads, tablets, laptops and cameras, all have the capacity to accept both types of voltage. All you need now is just an adapter with different plugs.

Photos and Contact Information of Friends and Family

Yep, I took this one for granted. Time flies really when you travel abroad. Before you can say Jackie Chan, you will have spent 4 years without even realizing it and have lost contact with a lot of your peers, friends and family! So please pack up as many memorabilia as you can!
Some persons can relate sha
