It did not happen. Period.

MC Usman:
And it will never happen shikena

The devil tried to prevent this and woefully failed.

Its not a total surprise there are people who want to prove that Christ was not crucified . . . His crucifiction, resurrection and blood is a living testament against their fraud.

Just curious - why is the mus'lim so desperate to prove that Christ was not crucified? Are they these bothered about Ogun or Sango?

Were are the jobs in SA that they accused immigrants of taking?
SA will end up like Zimbabwe in less than 30yrs, wait until the whites have trickled back to Europe.

texazzpete:
Ever notice how Nigerians form Neat, orderly lines at Heathrow, then break up into an unruly mob at MMA.

EVer noticed that Nigerians actually understand how to use street lights, obey traffic laws, maintain neat surroundings abroad?

It has to be Italy or Germany.

You're putting the cart before the horse here bro.

Blatant:
We expect politicians to throw money around before elections but we don't want them to loot.

A man who is full will not demand more food. We "expect" politicians to throw money around because:
- we are hungry, unemployed and disillusioned by the electoral process that is of no benefit to us.

Americans dont expect their politicians to throw money about, they dont need it.

Blatant:
We expect our friends and family in politics to award us contracts simply because of our relationship with them and we complain about stagnation of the country.

Its the "if you cant beat them join them" syndrome. Otherwise honest and forthright Nigerians are tired of folding their arms while rogues loot the nation blind. If my uncle is in office i'd expect him to give me a contract too . . .

Blatant:
We denounce any politician with good motives but less money to throw around and we still do not think they'll loot to be able to throw such money around.

we dont "denounce" them, its because we know that no matter how good their policies are they can never win in the nigerian system.
We all know Falae was a better option to Obasanjo.

Blatant:
We consistently support those who are known or have been tainted by corruption in the past and we complain about corruption.

we are not supporting them . . . the Nigerian people have no choice but to pretend to support those who will foist themselves on us by force anyway.

Blatant:
We are dreamers dreaming without vision and action mission.

No, we are wide awake . . . the reality staring us in the face is that we are nothing but passive onlookers in the game of "who can steal the most" going on at Abuja.

It simply means more marriages break down faster? And why is that?

1. It is now legally very easy to get a divorce . . . just go to NYC and see graffiti anouncing "fast food" divorces for $50.
2. Divorce is now socially acceptable, infact it has become a status symbol.
3. Many of us marry for the wrong reasons . . . he looks cute, she's hot, he's father has money, the sex is great e.t.c.
4. Divorce may actually be financially rewarding for some. Just ask Heather Mills.

Tchinasa**:
You can only relate to this topic from a "male's" viewpoint. Marriage is like fashion. You only hold on to what appeals to you. If the divorce rate tells you that it has become more difficult to stay in marriages, it simply means it has gone out of style.

There is no connection between marriage being out of vogue and the high rate of divorce. Infact what is in vogue now is celebrities getting engaged and finally marriage - that they will end up in divorce within 2 yrs is simply a by-product of a dysfunctional society.

Tchinasa**:
I will just pretend I did not see this analogy.

Maybe if u try digesting it you may understand the logic behind it.

Epiphany:
You know, i often wonder - even though it is very unlikely, whether our leaders really care about us and our country.

they care about the country, without it there would be no money to loot. Now whether they care about the people is a question up for debate.

Epiphany:
Do they care about what people are saying about them on the pages of the dailies? Do they worry that we, the youth, are cursing them and their families?
I also wonder whether i would be happy if my father is in governement. How will i feel if i click on websites like 'nairaland' and find out that people are abusing my parents. I think i will be filled with great shame.

If your parents were looting the treasury too i doubt you'd be bothered what faceless people have to say on the internet. Abubakar's kids in London dont care, they have more money than they care to spend.

Epiphany:
Why is it that these leaders cannot listen or learn from the times and events around them? The same things happen over and over again and yet nothing is being done.

that is the definition of "governance" in Nigeria.

Epiphany:
Now, the price of has gone up exponentially. What is Yar'Adua doing with the surplus. WHY CANT HE JUST FIX THE GOD DAMN ROADS? INFRASTRUCTURE?

We dont need to use the budget surplus, the budget has more than enough provision for social services if only our "leaders" would stop pocketing the money and thinking of themselves first.

Epiphany:
Man, i am so ashamed of Nigeria, really ashamed. We are a big disgrace to ourselves, the world and God. With the resources he has bestowed on us, we have not been good stewards at all,

I've stopped worrying, i'd advice you to do the same. Get your family out of the country and wipe the dust off your feet.

SENATOR JD:
na from there u dey type?

na im be the gateman

Tchinasa**:
Very much in reality my dear. Marriage is no longer in vogue since the divorce rate proves my point. I am not consoling myself. I am married Davidylan.

If I were not, it would not be a big deal to me. Simple.

the divorce rate doesnt prove your point that marriage is no longer in vogue. It simply means more marriages break down faster.
Its just like saying having more hungry people today than 20yrs ago means eating is no longer in vogue.

Tchinasa**:
Marriage is no longer in vogue please.

Are you on this planet, in denial or trying to console urself?

na real wa for this my obodo kwantiri o. Very poor or non-existent healthcare system. In other countries colon cancer is easily detected and treated. . . for naija . . . we prefer to bury our heroes with big big grammar.

you're a most wicked fellow.
You left a girl who loves you enough to ignore all others simply because she refuses to have sex just yet?

I wish someone else more deserving will come take her away from you.

She's ur gf, be forthright about your feelings. There will be some to descend here now crying about the girl having a right to do as she pleases but you dear will be the one to live with the insinuations, the snide remarks and the general feeling that your girl is free for all.

If she's interested in a serious relationship then she needs to change if not pls move on.

hmm i had a good laugh when i read the entry by "4 him". i am a 3rd class graduate in computer science also n i'm proud of it.y? because i started my own company DIGICOM SYSTEMS NIGERIA and hav executed a number of projects and im worth a couple of M's now, live in asokoro n drive an ML 320. Not to blow my own horn i would like to make it clear to arrogant pricks ("4 him"that feel so fortunate to be 1st class (my assumption)students that alot of you're still trying to life the nigerian dream because u feel to good to go for certain jobs.Alot of my mates work in banks (from 7-7) take a cab and they graduated wit 2.1's(no offense to anyone taking cabs afterall i did the same for a while).so to sum it all "4 him" learn to think outside the box, its a bigger world than u think.cheers

what a shame. Because you've been "successful" (heaven knows how since this is Nigeria) so everyone else should toe the line of laziness?
Dangote, Adedibu did not even graduate not to talk of having a 3rd class degree . . . are they not also "successful"?

Its sad that "success" in Nigeria is now measured by how connected you are with those in positions to loot the nation and less on your drive to work hard, its no surprise that the vast majority of Nigerians would rather leave the country in search of better opportunities and better organised nations were rogues are not rewarded for doing absolutely nothing.

Your mates drive cabs, it says little about their competence but ABOUT the injustices in a nation were the likes of Abacha can secure over $4b in underground vaults.

Hi stephanay,

What is worrying is the location - why a "hotel"?

i didnt even think of that. Good point.

no cause for alarm. an uncle of mine used to go for 7 days and more and his family was just fine.

doncaster:
Debosky
Basing your argument on the dangers of travelling by road multiplies her wahala because she has to travel by road to get to the airport. I believe the aircraft does not take off from their house.

o boy, Debo's argument just left me slack jawed. I cant believe in this era we no longer have the chance to tell our gfs how we sincerely feel about their own choices. We may as well just be friends.

4Her:
I'm sorry, have we met before?

hey i have a question on IM. log on joo

he must have been fighting for the "freedom" of his pocket

that doesnt say anything besides looking for a free hotel for 2 nights.

Syrup, i never alluded that God was speaking to pre-adamite men in Gen 1:26.

- There is one thing we need to understand, the bible is not written in a particular order so verse 20 could actually be talking of a time period ver distinct from verse 24 (for example).

The key for me was Jer 4: 23. It is no coincidence that the author of this verse used EXACTLY the same expression as was used in Genesis 1:2.
However let us assume that there were no pre-adamite men . . . read Gen 1:2 again - And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

If the earth was truly empty before the creation in Genesis, why would the author qualify it as being WITHOUT FORM? What form?

Why would he say the earth was VOID?

Darkness? How did he know what darkness was since darkness is simply the absence of light?

oziomatv:
still to review, the guy must be one of the Nairaland member based in naija.

what's ur source?
