Alert!!! Facebook web page has stopped functioning on many devices.
So i tried the Facebook webpage www.facebook.com yesterday. I couldn't . Rather it shows "redirecting". I tried several times without success. I felt maybe Facebook is embarking on system upgrade. I Googled to double check if there is any information online. I couldn't find any.
This morning, while checking my e-mails, i saw Facebook weekly updates. I clicked on the link and bingo! Facebook was opened. I went through the newsfield did what i wanted and logged out. Logged in again using www.facebook.com and was able to access it. I thought then that the issues have been resolved till a few minutes ago when I tried to and the "redirecting" response flashed my screen.
What is happening? Is face@ systematically shutting down? Has this anything to do with tomorrow's elections? Someone (Fayose) had raised alarm to that effect but we all dismissed it. But what am currently experiencing is getting me curious.
Hello nairalanders, am I the only one experiencing this? Are they shutting down the most used social media in Nigeria for the sake of the election

These are clear signs suggesting that the APC has already set a rigging machinery in place to ensure they continue in power......... All must be vigilant tomorrow toward ensuring that the will of nigerians prevail.

It was indeed shocking when reports filtered in that security operatives in Kano have intercepted a truck load of already thumbprinted ballot papers. As usual, the social media was agog over the development. A few hours later, a clarification was released by the police that they were specimen ballot papers to be used in educating the voters. Nevertheless, the opposition PDP and various other independent-minded thinking Nigerians were not comfortable with the development. There are several questions begging for consideration.
1. Was the inscription "SAMPLE" or "SPECIMEN boldly written across the ballot?
2. The thumbprints, were they done manually or were the prints actually printed?
3. This thumb printed ballots, were they restricted to only Kano, or were there similar trucks to other states as well?
4. Considering these complicity on the part of INEC, just how prepared is INEC in conducting a credible and fair election?

Since it is now practically impossible to realistically practice valentine's day in line with the true and original precepts why publicize it?
Can we realistically say that Valentine as we have it today is how St. Valentine designed it? Many people today see valentine day as a day for arranging random dates, getting laid randomly and returning home the next day wasted and spent.
True expression of love is something couples and lovers do everyday, every hour, every minute. It has nothing to do with Bed Mathematics.

Women will so take advantage on men for this...

I don't quite agree with you. Which woman will bear to have her husband jailed for two years while she solely caters for the family responsibilities?
When it comes to family affairs, many negative issues (including incest) are swept under the carpet on the basis of forgiveness and protecting the family name.

Thank God am not a wife beater

but what about a husband beater

We have no candidates for Rivers, Zamfara - INEC
WHO is the We?

Right from the moment APC took over governance in 2015, it has never behaved like a ruling party. It continues to act as an opposition. It is this kind of stupidity that made PDP took over leadership of both houses of the National Assembly even when PDP was in minority in the house.
After an abysmal poor performance and inability to fulfil campaign promises, they now hope and heavily rely on a Deux es machina to miraculously catapult them to power again.
Every average APC er is strictly hoping that some form of irregularity is being secretly arranged in collaboration with INEC to give them a magical victory.
Ordinarily, every Nigerian should have appreciated the fact that INEC is appearing to be independent. But apc ers feel INEC must do their bidding since they are in power. They always make comparison with the PDP days with the claim that INEC had often done the bidding of pdp. If this were true, was it not the same INEC that conducted elections in which pdp lost power and the grabbed it?
My people, don't be fooled. Go on Saturday and cast your votes for the candidates of your choice. Your votes will count. INEC officials can only rig elections if you the electorates permit it.

Somebody has grabbed his scrotum

Wonders they say, will never end. I am sure a human being must have been responsible for the reproduction of this amphibious creature.
Look at it carefully and give your own assessment. Does it resembles anybody you know?

Ok, go to Page 67 of that same book where Baba wrote-
"I do have my deferences with H.E. Atiku Abubakar. One area I cannot fault him though is his dedication yo duty. He is a very hardworking person. His life principle is hinged on his desire to achieve success in whatever he does. He knows what he needs and how to get it. He is dogged, calm and calculated"
(Olusegun Obasanjo, "My Watch", Page 67)

Something must kill a man eventually- either while working for the food or while eating the food. Even after eating the food.
At least their families can now stop guessing or speculating.

That they don't want him in government house by May 29, doesn't mean they want him dead. Political differences doesnt mean lifetime enemies.

Isgnoscriminals:
Atiku first created problems in Nigeria by looting the nation and now wants to create jobs, will nation really accept such a person. Atiku loyalty is only to his money but not to the nation. LetsGetNigeriaWorkingAgain by abandoning corrupt leader Atiku #AbandonAtiku

You lacked sense. But unfortunately, you are not even aware.

What is this one talking about? When human beings no even get left not to talk of rights

Tinubu: Baba, we have given you a new skin and fresh blood to make you look lively and active. Our next move is to give you a new brain. If nothing is done urgently, at the rate you are going, you will soon address yourself as the Emir of Nigeria.

Akalia:
For those of you that are hell bent on bringing PMB down by shading him because of some verbal mistakes he may have made while speaking in public functions recently, I have this to say to you: PMB remains your president and commander in chief of your country's armed forces.

He shall return to office yet again and sit put till 2022 because GOD has annointed him to rule your disrespectful and uncouth asses just to prove to you all that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the strong.

You are sick. You need a psychiatric attention. Or rather, your family should take you to a psychiatrist.

PrimadonnaO:


But how do you feel saying things like this?

How do y'all do it? Make scathing statements and inferences and all manner of vulgarities!

is it your vulgarity?

When I read this comment of urs on the new minimum wage trend I was impressed with your wisdom. What now happened in this Regina trend. You can do better.

That was posted in the mood of the recent 10 years challenge madness.

I pity Wailers that are making noise because of this.. let Atiku go to planet Jupiter, he will definitely loose the election to Buhari... Wailers should be ashamed that it took Atiku more than 10yrs before he can able to travel to US because of corruption issues.. this is a clear sign that he can't be a good leader..

Buhari will officially retire Atiku from politics after next election..

4+4=SAI BUHARI

You are the one wailing now...

JeogahII:


I don't really this school of thought. Nigeria national minimum wage is one of the lowest in the world other countries pay their workers double to triple of what Nigeria civil servant collect, have their inflation rate rising to the point you are trying to point out?

this is my point-

30k is the proposed minimum wage. That is around 60% increase on what the government currently pays as wage. The present situation has the recurrent expenditure which outweighs the capital expenditure. In a strong economy, such an increase will not pose any significant negative effect on the economy.
But in the Nigerian situation, once the salary is increased, the immediate action is to devalue the currency to pay out valueless currency. Of what significance is the increase if naira suddenly begins to exchange at 500 to a dollar? On the other hand, if the naira currently exchanges at say 150 to a dollar, 18k minimum wage would even be more valuable than 30k at this current rate of 370 to a dollar.
The nigerian workers certainly deserve the best wages. But it must go hand in hand with a currency that has real value.

Meritocracy:


As far as no inflation when politicians are collecting millions there won't be inflation because of 30k, meanwhile there is already an inflation and salary increment is long overdue.

30k is proposed the minimum wage. That is around 60% increase on what the government currently pays as wage. The present situation has the recurrent expenditure which outweighs the capital expenditure. In a strong economy, such an increase will not pose any significant negative effect on the economy.

I pity those people demanding for salary increase instead of an improved economy. Increased salary will definitely results in a rise in inflation. The result will be worse than the current salary. If the economy is sound and inflation curtailed, they could well manage with the current salary.

Do those in Apc attend any special class for lying,. Distortion of facts and deception? Lai Mohhamed is definitely the Provost of that institution.

Dream Big! Hmmm...
His dream of becoming a governor or a senator or president has been cut short by the thuggish son of a woman leader.
My people, anything u do in this election period, use ur sense. The family of these politicians u are killing yourselves over are currently living abroad till the end of this election madness.

His tenure has elapsed. Not necessarily because of the vussy.

wirinet:


Did you read the links or you only read the headline? I understand the article is long ang Nigerian youth are said to be lazy, but take the effort to read the article in full. You will arrive at the opposite conclusion.

It is obvious u are the lazy one who didn't read before commenting.
Or rather, you lacked a basic understanding of what was written. Comprehension is not really easy.

dotman4real007:
No wonder this panic, oh sorry picnic, oh pinnick wanted to die as the president of NFF. Disfigured thief.

Don't be in a hurry to judgement. That these monies were paid into his agency doesn't qualify him a thief. Wait till a competent court proves him guilty.
All these social media courts must stop this year.
