Nigeria is on the right path. The path that will lead to rejuvenation.
The importation of dry gas I believe will in the interim ameliorate the energy problem in Nigeria (which was worsened by the Niger Delta imbroglio). This will then give the government of the day enough space to work on the other key issues affecting the nation and even the power/energy sector.

As a nation I think we should avoid self loathing and be creative on how to solve the mountains of problems affecting us. We can do it together. Indeed, together we can. Nobody will do it for us. Self-loathing will not.

Yes we have our problems and some of them are indeed strange, even at that, Nigeria is still the best country in the world.

actuall the toll is not to maintain d road faan built the road btw intl and local airpor and did not force anybody to pass it u can go ahead nd pass oshodi that was how it is suppose to be it is faans road so dey decide wat toll to take

FAAN owns the road? Who owns FAAN? I guess the Federal Government, the Nigerian public.

The tollgate at the Murtala Mohammed Local Airport Ikeja Lagos is apparently the most expensive toll gate in Nigeria. The minimum toll is N100.

Apart from the fare, the toll has worsened the traffic situation on that road. These days road users spend an average of about one hour especially in the evenings on the road (short distance).

Several things may have caused the unusual delays including the traffic (actually it is the delay that causes the traffic), the bump at the gate is a bit too high, etc.

The Airport authorities and the management of the tollgate should look into this seriously.

Please share your experiences at the toll gate here.

Nothing is impossible. Yes we can have free healthcare with time and progress.
But let us not worry about making it free. Let Governments, NGO's and the other sectors even provide the basic healthcare infrastructure. We are willing to pay if it exists. Thereafter we can talk of making it free. We just don't have healthcare at all, not to talk of free one.

I heard NEPA wants to go on strike.
Who cares!

I heard they are pressing for increase in salary.
Shame on them.

I know that their contribution in terms of power generation and distribution has been below 1000 megawatts (even in the rainy season) and still declining.

I feel NEPA or PHCN has lost its relevance. We have gotten used to darkness. We are now a generator nation.

NEPA can go on an indefinite strike. It is their call. Nobody will miss them.

Our married women have gone bersek in their pursuit of extra - marital relationships. The tide seems to have changed. Married women commit adultery more than married men. That is the sad truth.

Deep down in my heart and mind, I think you are a very lucky man.

The best thing any man can get in this life is to have a loving and understanding/respectful wife. The opposite is called hell fire. You have a loving and understanding wife. It is even obvious to people.

Your situation seems bad to you because you THINK you have a better choice (option) out there! That's an error. You are already married. Any other thing is a facade.

I suggest you go back and re-build your life, your values, your priorities, your marriage and indeed your home. You can do it and enjoy your life.

This was how little Baya Bakari, the sole survivor of one of the world's worst plane crashes, relieved her miraculous escape."

@ TUDOR

Does Trinity College exist anywhere in Victoria, Mahe Seychelles and are they accredited/recognised?
Would you know?

It is no longer news that MJ has gone to sing beyond our shores.
It is equally not newsworthy to say that our ancestors or better still his ancestors will begin to enjoy his musical presence yonder.
It surely does make sense to say that MJ was the best thing to happen to music in the world.
It may be arguable, but I dare say it will be difficult for the world to produce another MJ.

I have one regret about MJ.
I had hoped that he would have done a gospel song.
I had imagined the impact it would have made the world over.
I had visualized the lives it would have touched positively, and the souls it would have won over to God.

The gospel album from MJ would have been ecstatic.
It would have been a healing balm to souls.
It would have brought comfort and relief to billions of people.
It would have touched the world for God.

I just wonder!!!!

Chukwuma Soludo CFR says all banks are okay,

Women are supposed to enjoy the love and intimacy of their children.
Children are the pride of the fathers and bonus for a job well done on the wife.

The understanding of the above will enable you take a proper decision.

husband,wife and children: the juicy portions

The major religions prescribe the roles and relationships between the husband,the wife , the children and even to each other. Thse religions also highlight the rewards for playing each role.

The husband plays the role of head of the familiy and expects to enjoy the love and respect of his wife. His wife is to support and care for him. That is his reward. The children are the bonus.

The wife plays the role of keeping the family and making the house a home. She takes care of everybody (husband and children). Her reward is the love and protection of the husband, as well as the love and intimacy with the children. This arguably may explain why children stay closer to their mothers than their fathers.

The children play the role of making the family lively and dynamic. They are expected to obey and respect their parents and take care of them in their later years (old age). Their reward is the blessing (legacy) of their parents.

These roles, responsibilities should not confuse anybody. The blessings are even more pronounced when great demands are placed on one party. For instance if the man is somehow incapacitated and cannot perform his own role, the wife should even show more love and not abandon him at the point of need. Her blessings will indeed be more if she passes the test. Affliction may be a test of loyalty and commitment. It is not the time to deliberately afflict punish or take it upon the weak partner. This applies to women, men and children in the same measure.

Let's play our roles and enjoy the juicy portions as well.

Sounds great.

I suggest they should simply change their name to BUYTEL instead of whatever they have in mind.

Eat the bullet and move on.
The relationship is not worth the stress!
No matter what happens after, you will not trust your g/f any longer.

I have heard of spirit spouses.
Either a spirit wife or a spirit husband.

It does not  matter if the person involved is married or not.
The so-called spirit spouse usually lays a claim on the other spouse.
The spirit husband may take on a lady and claim that she is his wife in the spirit world.
While the lady is a physical person, the spirit husband is not physical  and vice versa.

The spirit spouses have been attributed to some negative issues that happen in physical marriages.

What are spirit spouses? Do they really exist? Do they impact the physical, and how can they be combatted or confronted? Do you have experiences you may want to share?

U are the best person to advise yourself on this matter.
Nobody can truly do it for u.
Most of the people offering advice don't know what u are going through
and probably don't understand what it means to live with a treacherous woman or man.
U know where the shoe pinches u.
U know what u want.
Apply wisdom, and u will also know what to do? Go for it.

when it seems not to be working

I saw this in the compass news of 25/05/09
what do you think?




We are all damned stupid. Stupendously stupid. Stupid to the point of stupor. Stinking stupid swine. That’s what we all are. Not what we had always, been though. Not until 1979 anyway when this columnist cried out in the Nigerian Tribune that Nigeria harboured the largest collection of stupid men and women in the world.

And that stupid sting had stayed with us ever since. I mean ever since some stupid men imposed some stupid men on all the stupid people of this country in 1979. If you want to remember, it was that year that the leader of the stupid men announced to the larger community of stupid men that the best man would not be fit enough to lead the nation of Africa’s most enlightened people. And the best man was rigged out of contest and was made to bow at the feet of the cabal of stupid men.

That idiocy which captured the body and soul of the nation has refused to go, and I am told it will never go voluntarily.

You wonder how a nation can continue to stomach the horrible things that assail it every day. How a people have become so helpless that they allow themselves to be bedraggled by less than 3,000 heartless men. Those who hold this country by the jugular are less than 3000 nationwide. All former political [mis]rulers and their collaborators. And the present crop of day light robbers who have infected Abuja with a plague.

Every day, newspapers and television screens and radio airwaves are awash with news of billions of Naira ‘missing’, ‘misappropriated’, ‘embezzled’, ‘stolen’, and so on and so forth. At the end of the day, all of us idiots merely leave our mouths ajar, mumble some curses at beer parlour joints and resign ourselves to suffering unending.

Roads were meant to be built, contracts were awarded, adequate fees paid, and all we get in return are the death traps on Ibadan-Lagos expressway, Lagos-Benin human body-parts supermarket, gorges on motor ways across the land. In some cases whole vehicles are swallowed up by deep gaps in the middle of the road.

And how do the idiots who populate the country react? They rain curses and move on. And their tormentors are grinning from ear to ear in their ill-gotten military contraption called Hummer.

You see councillors who were mere truck pushers yesterday now donating brand new jeeps to their wives or girl friends as birthday gifts and no questions are asked. Why? In a nation of idiots, everything goes. Idiots all over the world are known to be timid people. Nigerian brand of idiots are worse than timid. They are zombies made worse by collective spell heaped on them by the day-light robbers who have imposed themselves on them.

But this nation had not always been like this. This had been a country of brave men and women who fought the colonial masters to a standstill. This was the country of Queen Amina. This was the land of Jaja of Opobo. This was the territory of Bashorun Ogunmola Olodogbo-keri-keri. The land of Lisabi Ogbongbo-akala. The land of Queen Orisamuro Eriwo . This was the country of Herbert Macaulay. The land of Raji Abdllah . The land of Aminu Kano . This was the country of Joseph Sarwuan Tarka. The land of Isaac Adaka Boro . The land of fiery Josiah Olawoyin. This land produced the great Nnamdi Azikiwe. The legendary Sir Ahmadu Bello came, saw and conquered. The Kiniwun Onibudo, the Olumoko, Agbola’ya bi aara Obafemi Awolowo was a nationalist of this same country now overgrown with timid weeds.

Perhaps all of us idiots now suffering in inexplicable silence are waiting for the one-man suicide squad Tai Solarin, Bala Usman, Omorogie Ohonbamu, Bros Kanmi Ishola Osobu, SLB Labanji Bolaji, Comrade Ola Oni, Comrade Niyi Oniororo, Wahab Goodluck, Pa Imoudu, Genius Ayodele Awojobi to come from their current places of abode to free us from this suffocating slavery on our soil.

It was in this country that the inimitable Fela Anikulapo Kuti carried coffin to harass Obasanjo at Dodan Barracks. The same Fela carried loads of ‘shit’ to block MKO Abiola’s house to protest ‘unfair treatment’ by Decca. Dr Beko Ransom Kuti led hundreds of thousands in protest to confront the fierce military tanks of Abacha in protest against the annulment of June 12 elections.

Now the generation suffering the most are still waiting for Ebenezer Babatope, Yemi Farounmbi, Gbolabo Ogunsanwo, Felix Adenaike, Arthur Nwankwo, Haroun Adamu, Tola Adeniyi, Rasheed Gbadamosi, our revered Dr Frederick Fasehun, our respected Gani Fawehimi, literary icons Soyinka and Achebe….men in their late sixties and mid seventies already shopping for travel agents for the best ticket out of planet earth, to fight for them.

I should remind the people in their 20s and 30s that they are the ones whose present and future are being trampled upon. It is they, more than any other idiots in the idiots’ country, that are having their lives and the lives of their children ruined by the massive stealing going on in the country today. And they should know that throughout history it is only people under age 35 who initiate and lead revolutions.

How is a country the size of Nigeria with all her resources not able to supply ordinary electricity to her citizens? Imagine the billions of Naira lost daily because of lack of power. Imagine the number of industries that have closed down. Imagine the multiplying effects of lack of electricity on the nation’s security and social/economic well being. How is a country with all God has given her unable to provide drinking water? Why should Nigeria fail in providing gainful employment to her teeming population? Why should over 20 million children be out of school nationwide?

And yet all of us idiots watch in helpless resignation the men who led us into this mess living in vulgar opulence, feeding fat on our stolen money, sentencing our daughters to prostitution, and we do nothing.

This nonsense cannot continue.

Imprisonment is not the answer. Imprisonment did not work in Ghana . It did not work in China . It did not solve the problem in Louis X1V’s France . It did not solve the problem in Russia before the Bolsheviks came with their chopping axe. No, Romania did not yield to imprisonment. Ask them in Ethiopia ; Meriam Mengistu led all to the chopping block.

If I am one of the 3,000 men who have brought Nigeria into this mess, come for me today, take me to the Bar Beach and chop my head off.

do women really love men?

I guess this has to do with communication.
Apparently, there has been a breakdown in communication.
As difficult as it may seem, you can revive the relationship and even spice it up.


The issue of being lazy and jobless are a thing of the mind and a response to the breakdown in communication
between both of you. Look at the source of the problem and tackle it from there.

for when it feels like it is not working.

Why are you bothered about offending her?
The fact is that you cannot afford to continue to sponsor her.
If no strings were attached in the first instance, the lady will definitely understand.

But then women are not like that.
She now has big expectations from the relationship. The next thing, she may have made up her mind she will live with you forever.  Get ready to marry her bros, If you can't, that'z where the worry comes in.

Your way out is to bite the bullet now! and let her know you can't afford to continue the sponsorship.

How do you treat the case of an absconded wife?

Marriage between a couple is supposed to be blissful.
We have seen cases where a wife absconds from her matrimonial home abandoning the husband, the children and in deed the entire family for one reason or the other.

How do you treat such a case?

As adapted by Idris Bello for the Nigerian audience. Enjoy!!

Tamedu is the proprietor of a Foo-Foo and Isi-Ewu Shop (Exotic Nigerian food) in Lagos, Nigeria.



Sales are low and, in order to increase them, he comes up with a plan to allow his customers to eat now and pay later. He keeps track of the meals consumed on a ledger.

Word gets around and as a result increasing numbers of customers flock to Tamedu's shop. His suppliers are delighted and are very willing to sell more and more raw materials for the meals he prepares. Tamedu shows them his ledger of receivables and they extend him credit.

A young and dynamic customer service consultant at the local Nairaland bank recognizes these customer debts as valuable future assets and gives Tamedu a credit line and then increases Tamedu?s borrowing limit.

Taking advantage of his customers' freedom from immediate payment constraints, Tamedu jacks up the prices of his Foo-Foo and Isi-Ewu.
Customers don?t mind as they are not required to pay on the spot. Sales  volume increases massively; Banks and suppliers lend more; Tamedu opens more outlets in Abuja, Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Ibadan. He sees no reason for undue concern since he has the debts of the customers as collateral.

At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert bankers recognize Tamedu's customer loans as assets and transform these customer assets into Bonds. These negotiable instruments are given exotic names such as FoofooBond, IsiBond, EwuBond and EgusiBond.

These securities are then listed on the Stock Exchange and traded on markets worldwide. No one really understands what the names mean and how the securities are guaranteed but, nevertheless, as their prices continuously climb, the securities become top-selling items.

One day, although the prices are still climbing, a credit risk manager of the Nairaland bank decides that the time has come to demand payment of one of the debts incurred by Tamedu. Tamedu in turn asks his clients to pay up. One by one they refuse; the clients cannot pay back the debts. Tamedu refuses to serve them anymore. The clients stop coming.

Tamedu is really screwed now. He cannot fulfill his loan obligations and therefore claims bankruptcy. All bonds drop in price by between 80 to 95%.

The suppliers of Tamedu, having granted generous payment due dates and having invested in the securities are faced with similar problems. The goat-meat supplier defaults on payment to the Mallam who sells goats to him and to the cattle supplier and claims bankruptcy. The yam supplier is taken over by a competitor; Tamedu lays off the cook and staff. Bankruptcies soar, unemployment mushrooms.

The Nairaland bank that lent the money in the first place is set to collapse. It is saved by the Government following dramatic round-the-clock consultations by leaders from the Peoples Undemocratic Party with Tamedu commuting back and forth in his Executive jet and Mercedes 500SEL, brokering the deal.

The funds required to save the economic collapse are obtained by a tax levied on the citizens, most of whom do not eat Foo-Foo or Isi-Ewu.
