could it be possible that we start a campain over facebook that nigerians who want to change something that we say now to showbiz and business christianity perhaps a person could make a small poster and I know when we start with this over Facebook and twitter it will help and nigerians will wake up and nigerians will get their brain back.

This cost nothing and it could help that nigeria become a better nation.
With such posters also about corruption we could start.

CityNG:

1) I am well travelled and thus have a high degree of success in determining nationalities. I work in a company with many different nationalities which gives me an exposure to be abel to determine nationalities.

2) There was a hold up, my drivers was stopped right by him and I overheard him on the phone talking to someone on his cellphone in his language (in between him shouting directions to his Nigerian employees).

PS: He is not really an oyinbo per see but I know even ordinary Lebanese is oyinbo to the average Nigerian.

I have submitted the pictures you requested to prove that there was construction going on. I have videos too just in case I might be accused of photoshopping

CityNG:

Don't wait for anyone. The power of change is in every one of us.

If you want to start a movement then get on with it and others will join in.

anonimi:

The capacity comment was just a teaser however, many thanks for taking time out to respond to my post.
Thanks also for the pictures on the current condition of the road. My comment thereon was mainly for the naysayers around here who have ridiculed the efforts to rehabilitate the road. You can post the video on youtube from where one can access it easily.

Finally, thanks one more time for your many web sites, quite laudable. I hope you will take your love for classic cars to the next level by having a show for them by the owners (I believe they have something similar in Kenya & South Africa) in Ibadan, for example, seeing as you love the great, old, historically rich and still vibrant city of Oluyole.
Cheers.

my problem is i am a not a nigerian and I live in Europa and I am not black

CityNG:

Oh for sure there's actual contraction going on. I passed through there from Lagos on 7/28 or so and then from Ibadan on 8/15 or so and what they have managed to accomplish was outstanding. I am certain that when I return in December (in sha allah) they will be almost completed.

One concern I have is the anticipated high speed accidents that will most certainly occur due to reckless driving, lack of well maintained vehicles, etc and I hope they have a plan ahead for that. As it is even when we are doing 100kph we're still getting passed by other motorist going even much faster.

As far as classics, I wanted to export one of mine but the roads are horrendous in my area (I live in an old part of town and not in one of the new GRAs). For example in our Isuzu Rodeo it takes careful and calculated driving to get out of my neighborhood without destroying the undersides. So any of the classics will never make it out of my house.

I discussed a car show with someone at Odu'a properties who run the new Shoprite facility in Ibadan. It will make for a fantastic car show destination but that is a long term plan.

CityNG:

I am not a judge but an observant and yes with an opinion.

It is a forgone conclusion that Nigerians (not Nigeria per see) will prevail but the issue being debated has always been at what cost.

Spaxon: Datz good... Bt dat dosent change d PRICE of salt

CityNG I appreciate you for comments. Thank God you believe in Nigerians but I adjure you to extend the same optimism to Nigeria as an entity. We are growing in knowledge and raising a generation of minds that won't settle for less; minds that refuse to choose between the devil and a lesser devil. Sooner than we all think, the Nigerian revolution will begin.

Leopantro: NIGERIAN DOCTOR WAS “NOT” CURED OF EBOLA
(The Doctor NEVER had Ebola. World Health Organization & U.S. FDA Issued Confidential Warning Against Nigerian Health Minister, Onyebuchi Chukwu, For Spreading Rumours Of False Ebola Cure.
--Attorney Patryk Utulu

The W.H.O. and American FDA Have Issued Joint Statement That:

(1) Nigerian Doctor rumoured to be cured of Ebola was NOT cured of Ebola because the doctor NEVER had Ebola. (Initial test result was a “FALSE POSITIVE” which occurs in 1 out of every 150 tests).

(2) U.S. FDA warned [size=14pt]U.S. firms[/size] for targeting African nations and falsely marketing “dietary supplements” as Ebola cure. USA threatened penalties

(3) W.H.O./FDA issued “Confidential NOTICE” to Nigerian Health Minister, Oyebuchi Chukwu, for endorsing [size=14pt]an unproven U.S. nutritional supplement[/size]” and "thereby promoted false rumours of an Ebola cure." (WHO threatened to block Health Minister’s accreditation if he spread false rumours again)

(4) W.H.O. affirmed its ruling this week that the experimental drug, ZMapp, can be used on Ebola victims where available. WHO stated categorically that ZMapp is NOT a cure for Ebola and that EBOLA HAS NO CURE.

WHO’s “Confidential Notice” condemned Mr. Chukwu as “irresponsible” for saying that unidentified Nigerian scientist living overseas had arranged for Nigeria to get experimental medicine. Chukwu identified it as "NanoSilver,” [size=14pt]a supplement offered U.S. firm[/size], Natural Solutions Foundation, NSF.

FURTHER, THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAID THAT:
(1): NanoSilver is NOT accredited by FDA. It's products are "dietary supplements, NOT DRUGS" and has NOT been tested by FDA
(2): NanoSilver is for sale on a website along with India Hemp (marijuana) oil, ear candles, and chocolate. (LOL. Tufiakwa!!!!)
(3): Natural Solutions Foundation is NOT an accredited science laboratory
(4): On July 20, 2014, NSF’s medical director, Dr. Rima E. Laibow, posted an Open Letter to Presidents of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Ghana claiming that NanoSilver cured Ebola. Dr. Libow claimed to have addressed 47 African health ministers at a 2007 conference and to be in touch with West African governments and their advisers. W.H.O. said THESE CLAIMS ARE FALSE. Dr. Laibow HAS NEVER BEEN TO AFRICA.

(5): The New York Times repeatedly has tried to contact Dr. Laibow who claimed that her drug cured Nigerian doctor but Dr. Laibow is nowhere to be seen. Agents of the U.S. FDA are hunting for her.
(6): Assistant Director of W.H.O., Dr. Marie-Paule Kieny, said [size=14pt]fraudsters are targeting African nations[/size] “AND SUCCEEDING BECAUSE OF LARGE NUMBER OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ANXIOUS TO CLAIM MIRACLE HEALING.”
(7): FDA’s Dr. Caplan said the same [size=14pt]people who marketed fake HIV cure-drugs to Africans for 30 years are now marketing fake Ebola cure to Africans[/size] “BECAUSE OF THE STUPIDITY OF AFRICAN RELIGIOUS GROUPS WHO ARE TEMPTED TO CLAIM MIRACLE CURE.”

DEAR NIGERIANS:
Please listen to the experts at World Health Organization & FDA. Ebola has NO cure yet.
DEAR TO RELIGIOUS PROPHETS: :
Ebola has NO cure. Stop claiming that Ebola can be cured in Church. You are deceiving Nigerians and lying to yourself. Your ego, religious arrogance and your desire to claim miraculous cure is false, ignorant and criminal.
THE BLOOD OF ANY NIGERIAN WHO DIES BECAUSE OF YOUR FALSE MIRACLE CLAIM WILL BE ON YOUR HANDS.

ayusco85: Why will they send just 12 doses to Liberia? This americans think they are some demi god that can play with peoples lives. What's stops them from producing this serum in hundreds? So they don't care about the lives dying everyday.

*if it were china that had the zmapp, it will ve been in every market in africa*


Last bullet: china should be world power instead of U.S.

I know about the war it is not new.

Doctors without border start their organisation when they help people there.

In my country no pastor or priest has a jet and private security and it is not mandatory that a so called MOg must tell his brainwashed followers that the new church must be finished.

Two private jets can build one good laboratory where good scientist can work.

When people in nigeria start to see what is more important to give money for science or give money to fake pastors than nigeria will become a better place.

When you get a president who will say corruption is stealing and put all in jail for this

Frankenstein: You must be obsessed with pastors. I checked out your posts and topics and it turned out almost all of them are about criticism against Nigerian pastors. I see you're an atheist trying to get some comfort by taking swipes at pastors.

I am a christian and when you read my other post, that I work together with other woman in my country we build a school for poor kids in Kenya and I have two kids there, I pay the school and the food for them since 3 years because they have only a mother who is very poor and this woman didnot have the money that she can send their kids to school.

I can tell you why I start to work against nigerian pastors because they want also to make a church in this villages where the people only have food once a day and take the small money away from them.

I have friends from nigeria and they visit me and they saw how churches work in my country and they ask me why we did not sow seed and did not tithe and I explain it to them.

MissMeiya:

I actually have a friend who was arguing with me when I said Nigeria is the only place that practices tithing. He said it's a Catholic doctrine. -_-

Then he said my country is heathen, that's why no one even knows what tithing is here. -_-

nora544:

Now it is not a catholic doctrine it comes from the new churches in America.

I am a catholic and what we have in my country is churchtax what every catholic has to pay and that is 1,1% of my salary and that is for the churchbuildings and the salary of the priest so that is not much and when the montly salary is under 1000 Euro than you pay no churchtax and you can give if you have to the church. When you pay this churchtax than you get the money back from the goverment what you pay for the churchtax.

We never had it in my country since 1790!

MissMeiya:

It's ironic that evangelical American style churches have taken over Nigeria, but those cult members curse the US at every opportunity.

nora544:

I read this and it shows that they didnot know the bible they know only this what they hear for their pastors!

MissMeiya:

I've attended church service in Nigeria. Those pastors are extremely uneducated. Some of them call themselves "prophets". The entire "sermon" consists of reading a random, irrelevant passage from the Bible, and twisting it to mean that everyone should pay their tithes. I'm deadly serious. The man was mispronouncing and misunderstanding words in the text. And I've studied religious texts academically. I know what it was supposed to mean. I was shocked.

Eneze1:

Producing what in mass? the earlier we realize no country owes us Africans anything the better for us. It is time we become independent and stop relying on the west

kissinggourami:
Nigeria is not important to the US? Have we really focused so much on our problems that we fail to see the progress we have made? Nigeria is failing in the eyes of common Nigerians, I understand but the economy is progressing to the outside world. The dark continent of Africa is slowly regaining her lost glory. Nigeria is it's trigger and powerhouse. So please, Nigeria (not going to add the low-sulfur content of our oil) is important to any serious-minded developed nation wanting to do business in Africa

carefreewannabe:

So what if the economy is progressing?

There are still plenty of other countries investors prefer to do business with.

Nigeria has problems with terrorism and its infrastructure is not good enough. And now there is Ebola.

Having oil is OBVIOUSLY not enough to prosper. Nigeria is too risky for investors, especially since BH and Ebola.

What is with tourist, i know from photos that nigeria is a very nice country, the emirates and dubai make very much money with this and it gives many people work.

I know it from my country we have so many tourist here if it is summer or winter we have them during the hole year.
We have a University here of applied science they want students from nigeria to learn management and hospitality.

Frankenstein: My church sends it's members abroad on scholarship for education or training and provide jobs too. There are also motherless babies homes being funded by my church. We go on widespread feeding of the poor in our area and give out clothes, shoes and stuff to the less privileged. Do you know TB Joshua and the huge philanthropic project he's handling? Have you met all the pastors in Nigeria and accessed them or do you just fabricate things from your basement in Vienna suburb?

How can you label all churches and pastors as bad? End your silly stereotyping cos your country isn't all that great.


PS I'll like to know the website of your Austrian organization that feeds poor people in Kenya and the names of the two African kids you're raising.
