Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Govt is after me, says Bakare |
on: 16-01-2012 01:17 PM
| He also declared that protests against the petrol price increase will continue at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota, Lagos because of government’s refusal to revert the price of petrol to N65 per litre.
The SNG is the arrow–head at the Lagos protests at the park, which attracted thousands of people last week.
Bakare told the congregation at the Latter Rain Assembly, Ogba, Ikeja that since government is adamant, Nigerians have no option than to intensify the demonstration against injustice.
The activist-cleric, who alleged that government is after his life, denied that SNG is being sponsored by politicians. He vowed not to succumb to intimidation and blackmail.
“We are not motivated by another force than the belief that this land must be free and Nigerians must enjoy, if we (SNG) are sponsored by any political force, you will not see such crowd at Ojota.
“I was reluctant to protest, we wanted to dialogue. We contacted those in the corridor of power. When the time comes I will name those I contacted to give the president a soft landing. We are not protesting the removal of subsidy only, but corruption, waste in government.”
He also accused the government of threatening his life and key members of the SNG.
“In the past one week, there have been threats to my life. My wife was called upon one night to tell me not to sleep at home, while arrangement was made for me to go into hiding, Yinka Odumakin also received an anonymous call saying don’t sleep at home this night but that night I slept in my bed room. It’s only the wicked that flee when no man pursues but the righteous is as bold as lion.
“There were threats of death and arrest, the latest one this morning (yesterday) was a text message sent to me which reads: ‘you are the one motivating the labour not to accept government offer, we are coming after you, we are going to investigate your early years of legal practice’.”
Bakare, who spoke on the topic titled: Subsidy Made Easy (SME) faulted government claims that N1.3 trillion is spent annually on subsidising petroleum for Nigerians.
“Nigerians have been paying N65 per litre for fuel. Therefore, cost borne by the consumers is N807 billion, consequently, the true cost of subsidy borne by the government is: N943 billion not N1.75 trillion
He said the Federal Government cannot explain the difference between the amount actually disbursed for subsidy and the cost borne by Nigerians (N1.56 trillion minus N943 billion = N617 billion).
He urged the citizens to hold the government accountable and demand “the prosecution of those bleeding our nation to death. Until this government downsizes, cuts down its profligacy and leads by example in modesty and moderation, the poor people of this country will not and must not subsidise the excesses of the oil sector fat cats and the immorality cum fiscal scandal of the self-centred and indulgent lifestyles of those in government.”
The Joint Action Front (JAF) also said mass action will resume today in form of street protests in all states.
JAF Secretary General Abiodun Aremu told reporters at the NLC House in Lagos yesterday: “We want to assure that there is no negotiation than reversal to N65, unless there is overnight reversal, the protest continues.”
God will protect this man and his family, as for Jonah...he has crossed his boundaries....aswear  | | | | |

Forum / Relationships & Romance / 8 Things That Make Every Woman Insecure in Relationship |
on: 15-01-2012 10:39 PM
| | Does she always appear cool and confident to you? Or, conversely, do you sometimes feel like she has more than her share of insecurities?
Most women, no matter how they present themselves to the outside world, have a few nagging insecurities, especially when it comes to dating. Indeed, the dating world can be rough, and while men also have their share of insecurities, they tend to stress about very different things.
The following are just a few of the things that a woman tends to worry about when it comes to dating or being in a relationship.
Do keep this in mind: Your actions can make a big difference in terms of how secure she’ll feel when she’s with you — so read on for some helpful hints on how to boost her dating confidence.
her dating insecurities!
1- You might not call her after the date
Following through with what you’ve promised her is the first step to building a woman’s trust. So, if you say you are going to call her on Thursday, call her on Thursday. If you say Friday, do it. If that’s not your style, though, or you’d like to keep her attention, just don’t be definite about when you’ll be calling. It’s better than breaking a promise, and at least she won’t be waiting by the phone on a particular day.
2- You just want to sleep with her
It’s a hard line to walk: If you make a move too soon, she’ll think that’s all you want. If you wait too long, she’ll think you’re just interested in her friendship. The best way to work this is to just be sincere. If you are genuinely interested in pursuing a relationship with her, let her know. From there, she’ll give you the signals to let you know when she’s ready to get romantic with you.
3- You’re dating other women
It is perfectly acceptable to casually date more than one woman at the same time — as long as you are honest about it. So, if you are dating multiple women, don’t lie about it. You don’t have to bring it up in the conversation, but if she does, be honest. Once you start sleeping together or things seem to take a turn for the serious, she might assume you’re exclusive, so it’s only fair to let her know if that’s not the case.
She’s scared you’re cheating. Here’s what to do
4- You’re not that interested
Even the most confident woman sometimes needs a little affirmation that you’re interested in her. You could let her know by telling her outright or through a gesture, such as sending her flowers or calling her in the middle of the day — just a little hint to let her know that she’s special to you.

5- You’re cheating on her
Ask yourself the following question: Why is she insecure that I’m going to cheat on her? Have you given her a reason by cheating in the past? If that’s the case, we’d be hard pressed to say that she’s being irrational. If that’s not the case, however, you have to discuss the issue head-on and let her know that you are committed and have no intention of cheating.
6- She’s not satisfying you in bed
Just like men, women have a lot of performance anxiety in the bedroom. If things are going well in that department, make sure to let her know. If not, however, be sure to address the issue in the most sensitive manner possible. For example, don’t tell her, “I don’t like the way you…” Instead, tell her, “Let’s try it this way…”
7- You’re not attracted to her anymore
Just because you are a few years into a relationship, it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t need reassurance anymore. In fact, because you are a few years into a relationship, you have to work extra hard to let her know that you still find her attractive. Remember to compliment her and let her know that she still has it. This will reap rewards for you too — it’ll help keep your romance alive.
8- Another woman is stealing your attention
Do you flirt with other women in front of her? If you do this consistently, we don’t blame her for feeling insecure in this department. There is nothing wrong with harmless flirting — but when you’re with her, devote all your attention to her. You can flirt on your own time.
secure her
Yes, the world of dating is harsh. But with a little foresight and sincerity, you can make her feel infinitely more secure — both about your relationship and about herself. After reading the above tips, you should now be in a much better position to boost her sinking ego. So, if you genuinely care about her, isn’t it worth the extra effort? | | | | |

Forum / The Buzz Central / OCCUPYNIGERIA LATEST: Tiwa Savage In A Show Of Shame, Fights Fan Over Picture |
on: 15-01-2012 04:37 PM
| | Though many believe celebrities have blood running through their vains, but for the fact that they are role models to some people, many expect them to always of the best behaviours.
Some celebs have in the time past fallen victims of indecent public acts not expected of them. Some months ago, Ruggedman and Goldie engaged a fan on twitter where they freely used industrial words and language without shame.
Legendary in the act is the actress with about 58 tattoos on her body, Tonto Charity Dikeh.
The latest convert in the ministry is the United Kingdom returnee singer, Tiwa Savage. Tiwa Savage took a picture with a fan (shown above), which was uploaded on twitter. When she retweeted the picture,another fan commented on it this way, "you no even fine. Nah only on top TV yo u dey fine." This infuriated the 'kelekele love' crooner and offensively responded, "you are very stupid and senseless. Your face and heart is UGLY."
She continued with this, "In this condition in naija you have the nerve to send that tweet."In a response, the at this point went further in insulting her with this, "So immature, Lol. You are f**king rude with no manners. F**k you." At this point, one would have expected Tiwa Savage to take her cool, but alas! She responded this way, "you are a waste to the Nigerian population."
For her fan she is having a swell time exchanging hot words with, he would not stop. "I dont giv a f**k. After all you can kiss transformer for me being a waste," was his reponse to Tiwa.
Our dear new entrant into the Nigeria became sarcastic in her response when she wrote, " it hit you hard abi? Next time, think before you open your smelling mouth. Ode oshi (stupid fool).
The fan quickly replied, " if I hit you hard, I'm sure you will forget you have a music career. I just pity u ni." In what seems like submission to the game between Tiwa and her fan, she replied with pity, "*hit a woman abi? Well done," the dramatic and disgraful movie ended.

The foolish fool is just a fool....he is just hating for nothing!!! I dont blame Tiwa with any of her response

Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Nigeria loses N500bn to strike – Sanusi |
on: 15-01-2012 04:15 PM
| | By Uduma Kalu
Nigeria’s nation wide strikes against the government’s removal of fuel subsidies is costing Africa’s second largest economy around N100 billion (403 million pounds) a day, the central bank governor has said.
Lamido Sanusi said he expected inflation to rise to around 14-15 percent by the middle of this year, up from 10.5 percent now as the impact of subsidy removal is felt on prices.
“Clearly inflation was always going to go up with the removal of subsidy. I think what we’ve seen is the immediate shock impact of a sudden removal and things will settle down,” Sanusi went on.
“It took us 21/2 years from 2009 to come down to single-digit from 15.6 pct. I think a realistic target if we actually hit 15 percent, I think we will be looking at end of 2013 before we come back to single-digits.”
Sanusi said it was positive that negotiations were ongoing but he urged government to agree a deadline with unions for removing fuel subsidies altogether, rather than leaving it open ended, which could lead to public demonstrations in the future.
“I think it’s time to make a deal … any kind of compromise should have a final deadline for removal of subsidy,” he said, adding that options could include capping prices at 100 naira a litre and phasing out subsidies, although he said details would have to be left to the government and workers.
