Your English alone is good enough to "shot" somebody. Ode

Ezedon:
Not again , we expected someone to be shot, not this guy, they should go to London and shot somebody

Nelsizzy:
Yh, my course rep called me n my name was also written on a siqnboard outside my HOD's office

Is there anything to be filled in the letter sent?

1st of November

OguguaVictor:
Which deadline where you given to open the account

Please, for those who have seen the letter. Is there any form to be filled in it? I just received a message today to open a Union bank account and I didn't even know I had been awarded.

Amefrica:

either of the 2 is okay. just that SAT is more popular..

Goodluck!

Cheers

Amefrica:

Write SAT, it's just 14-15K and English test will be waived for you..

For very affordable schools, look into Arkansas and Minnesota.

Hey pal, you don't seem to encourage ACT. Any reasons? I want to write that instead cause its in April (SAT after January is May, no?) and it seems equally viable.

shymexx:

Yes, brother.

It seems he isn't the one running things. Certain elements are manipulating things on his behalf and the boyish smirk on his face every time I see his pictures in public gives credence to that.

The kidnapped and hoodwinked president!

For the first time in my life, I actually feel sorry for a Nigerian politician.

eGuerrilla:

To be honest with you, I'd have not qualms putting down good money to counter the emboldened statement in your post.
Anyone who has no abiding philosophy, and shies away from public debates, is likely to be susceptible to prevailing winds.

Wasn't Dubya was beholden to the hawks in his administration right till the very end?

But to think he knew? Then the joke isn't really on him, is it? Its on PDP, APC, everyone who voted for him. In short, the joke is on every single Nigerian! Is this the best we can do? The highest position in a land of 160 million people is occupied by.....him?

shymexx:

The whole thing is starting to get interesting. However, I don't believe GEJ would be so dumb to play a joker as simplistic as this. I believe some of the sycophants around him are responsible for this and the other fictitious jejune tales you cited. Then again, he doesn't look/act like the sharpest tool in the shed - so I can't really absolve him off this.

Anyhow, the sycophants are about to push him to a point of no return. I honestly don't think he can get brolic with the unseen hands that he's messing with. I doubt it.

Do you like mafia and crime-mob stories? This whole thing is reminiscent of the Genovese crime family and the power tussle between Vito Genovese (Boss of all Bosses) and Frank Costello. It's about go down!

Its like you're in my mind! Check my previous reply to you. He just can't be so daft!

eGuerrilla:

Anything is possible.

Remember the photograph taken at the AU summit, which were recycled for great effect just a few days ago?
If Iyabo did not write this letter, it will take more than a radio interview to clean up the mess.

Come on sir, you literally have me weeping for this country. He can't have done that, maybe those associated to him, but that he knew, and sanctioned it? I give up! Check my previous reply to @Shymexx, you'd see why I doubt he 'sanctioned' it.

homesteady: It's only a silly person that will believe that she did not write that letter! There are too much personal/family stuffs in that letter that an outsider will not know!

The personal stuff her mother had written in a book about three years ago? Yeah, very personal....

theoctopus:

AIT didnt publish the story. Vanguard and Sahara did. until they retract it, nothing changes.

I think its safe to say Sahara merely culled it from Vanguard, no?
I equally doubt mr President had a hand in it, like I stated on the other thread.

tdade:
On a serious note, inasmuch as I criticize
Jonathan for his lethargic nature, and lackluster
demeanor, I really can't think anyone who
mounts the position he currently occupies, either
by luck or intelligence, can be this daft!
Having said that, the fact that vanguard went
ahead to publish it, knowing fully well the
consequence should it be false, somehow gives
credence to the fact that it was from 'above.'

theoctopus:

Vanguard insists the letter is real. There is no denial on any rainbow FM! Nothing has changed so far!

AIT claim to have contacted Iyabo, and she apparently denied writing the letter.

shymexx:

I knew she didn't write the letter. Discerning minds should be able to see that.

However, that's Xmas gift come-early for her - she should make loads of cash off the online source that published that junk.

Also, the whole thing is going to get messier. Using his daughter's name against him for a hoax is just far-reaching. They crossed the line with that and best believe he would fight back with everything he has got.

Anyway, I see rivers of blood and a lot of dead people.

shymexx:

Thank God another discerning mind noticed it as well.

+2

We need more to declare it fake and phony.

Why would someone older than 30 write something as dumb as this - and the timing as well. Except she was either hypnotised, or offered a huge sum of money she can't resist.

But you never know with Nigerians and Nigerian state-of-mind.

My thoughts exactly! An Ivy for that matter!
The most disgusting thing about this thread is that people don't even realize that she equally gave up the 'Nigerian dream.' I'm frankly not concerned about what she had to say about her father, but the things she pointed out about this country.....

Amefrica:

You only get to pay during registration.. You don't pay before arriving in US.

wow, I didn't know that, thanks!

Amefrica:

I don't think it's refundable. It's either she used a semester in the university (paid for it) or she transferred straight to the CC as soon as she got there.

that's my point! She would've been required to pay for a year's(or is it a semester?) tuition prior to her arrival to the university, no? So even if she transfers immediately, she still loses the money.

Amefrica:

She transferred! Yes, it is very possible.

Thanks for your reply, sir. Forgive my questions, but will the university be obliged to refund the tuition fees?

Amefrica:

NO! Don't apply to community college. There are many affordable universities.

Minot State University
Southern Arkansas University
Southwest Minnesota State University
Minnesota State university moorhead.

They are plenty!

I had a friend who told me she applied to a conventional university(one of the SUNYs), and when she arrived in US, simply transferred to a CC. Is this really possible?

JulianBond007: Gbam! That's the koko of the matter. As long as Eminem isn't black, his music is nothing to black people. Only the whites take him serious.

Your racism is just too blatant lady!

JulianBond007: Dude, there's nothing like heresay. I have been a lover of rap music far back in the 90's. The blacks introduced rap music and there's no way a white folk will be a rap god.

Absolutely ridiculous. Everything you wrote simply highlights the bias against Eminem.
That guy is the Zeus of the rap world in my books and that's that! How can racial sentiments cloud your judgment?
You've been a lover of rap music as far back as the 90's, yet you cannot identify pure and magical rhythmically applied poetry when you hear one? How can someone compare EVE to E....naaaaa, that is RUDE! I love Big, Nas, Tupac and Rakim, but it is what it is - and Eminem IS what it is. Compare Jay-Z to Mac Miller.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

shymexx:

I wouldn't want to "pit" the two icons against each other. However, I would say Malcolm X was more of an "ideology", while MLK and the civil rights movement wanted something in real-time (i.e during the struggle).

So, Malcolm X would be the "visionary" since his ideology is still alive and a lot of folks are aligning with it today. However, MLK would be "dreamer" since almost everything he said in his "I have a dream" speech is yet to come to fruition.

That's all I'm going to say.

Malcom X's ideology while in NOI was totally flawed. He wanted total segregation from whites and believed in total black supremacy. Tell me, how is that not a dream?
Like I stated earlier, his post-NOI days showed his true intelligence at its peak because then he embraced the true world and let go of his racial sentiments.

I'm not trying to 'pit' both against each other. It just pains me that Malcom X spent twelve good years in that organization. All for what? Assassination by that same group.

^^^ he even came to Nigeria and was given the name 'Omowale' by some muslim association.

I think its important to note that MLK's policy was far more productive.
MLK was a visionary, while Malcom X was a dreamer. Yeah, its ironic - I know.

You are a paid hireling who traded his scruples a long time ago - deal with, it is a befitting status!
Your repeated attempts to focus on Tinubu - an altogether different topic - is not working, so save the diatribe for a different thread.

I know your MO is to stifle unfavourable discourse by engaging in obfuscation and chicanery, in the hope that any topic you find uncomfortable breaks off on a different tangent. Guess what? That pedestrian back-n-forth does not work with me. I generally stay on theme, no matter the label unconscionable souls foist on my handle.

It takes a maladroit like you to tout the planned inauguration of a national carrier using a 20-year old aircraft, as a measure of success, so there is really nothing new here.

Damn sir! You sure are giving him quite a lot of work to do.

taharqa: They can't. Cos there are always peeps, like online gorillaas, who wud always indulge them. So why stop??

You're a sissy! Why not confront him directly?

@sincere 9igerian - how obtuse can you be? This is a NATIONAL CARRIER for crying out loud.
If you think its so 'safe,' why not ask how old all of Jonny boy's(your pay master) 10 aircrafts are. To make matters worse, its not even new!
Have you no shame? Have you no conscience?
