I will vote independent of the popular vote. However i wont hesitate to endorse a couple of candidates as time goes on.

j-girl, she knows herself already. .

na wa o. As far as i'm concerned only one winner here that i can see.

Debo if this story is true, infact i dont know what else to say. That is one of our most creative players leaving now with Flamini!

shadyo:

Take a good look in the mirror and repeat 100 times - shadyo is a foolish boy.

On a humorous note,this loss mathematically opens up a chance for Arsenal to nick the title

Gunner 1915

only if we win our last 3 games and Man U and Chelsea conspire to pick up just 1 point from their last 3. Lets just enjoy the last few games of the season and rebuild for the next.
Totenham have gotten Luka Modric now. na wa.

I'd be honest, Sampras' reign ws due more to the lack of competition than his own percieved greatness.
Imagine if Sampras had to deal with Djokovic, Ferrer, Nalbandian, Davydenko . . . hard and flat forehands . . . he'd be ground to dust.

I'd rather Nadal continued his dominance on clay.

FOD:
. . . and the Djoker had to take the easy way out. What a pity!

down a set, down a break, already called a medical time out. It was the reasonable thing to do. He lives to fight another day eh.

doyin13:
Is Federer getting back to some form.

i think he's back to form. Djokovic didnt stand a chance today.

Nadal dismisses Davydenko 6-3, 6-2.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Justice System in our "beloved" USA, especially when you are a shade darker. Lord have mercy on their souls, I wept this morning when news of the verdict was released. I pray that those two little girls will grow up to become productive ladies in their community, A life was taken, and NO ONE was held responsible, It's high time something is done to curb these trigger-happy NYPD officers, They act like they are gods, It is NOT fair,

one of the officers is black, one is a minority. What are you talking about?

Those officers merely protected themselves, they are permitted under the law to use deadly force anytime they feel threatened. I for one i'm tired of black people forever blaming others for their own poor judgement.

Nadal is such a lovable character.

Monte Carlo semis - Nadal up 6-3, 2-1 against Davydenko.

definitely

@ 4HIM You have very good points there but I think there are very many different ways of approaching it. It might ultimately make this idea not seem viable but if we are really interested in putting Nigeria on the map then we have to start somewhere.

"putting Nigeria on the map" is not something that one man can unilaterally achieve. It requires the concerted effort of all and sundry starting from those we elect into office for this singular purpose. Unless you have billions of dollars to waste, your primary aim of setting up a business is to make profit and not to put nigeria on a map.

Firstly on the point of energy include a solar energy initiative with this biotech agenda.

Even in the US, serious multinational companies dont run on solar energy. Its not a viable source of power.

Also a private institute which will not churn out a bunch of half baked scientists could be what this company is started on.

Is the goal of this institute to become a private science university? Where will you import the lecturers from? Have you factored in the cost of equipment?

If many of the wealthy Nigerians get involved this could work. If many Nigerians will realize the importance of wealth that is.

History tells us Nigerians are only interested in looting the treasury.

Also why not start such things somewhere other than Lagos to alleviate some of the craziness? If other states are given the opportunity things such as these may take off faster.

It is foolhardy, Lagos is the economic nerve center of the nation. If your company is profit-oriented then you dont want to go site your company in Kebbi state.

I bet some people laughed at Seun when he wanted to start this but now it has taken off.

This is completely different. Any kid can set up a website with little or no start up cost. If NEPA takes light in Seun's house you will still be able to log into nairaland.

Universities in Nigeria are appendages of government. These people dont generate their own revenue and thus dont have the incentive to undertake any form of research.
A couple of friends and I once floated this idea of a private science institute somewhere in Lagos, it died a natural death . . . the market is just not there. Where would you get the workforce? This halfbaked graduates?

Ok talk of infrastructure . . . will you run the company on generators? Remember that you need to operate controlled temperature rooms 24/7.

you people are behaving as if you are from another planet. You know your leaders, they would rather steal money than act like the Koreans.
We cant generate more than 3000MW of power with all our oil, gas and dam and you are here talking of Biotechnology.

How many Nigerian university graduates can accurately define DNA?

(Geometry) A rancher's pasture is rectangular and has an area of 84 square miles. The length is 5 miles more than the width. How much will it cost to enclose the pasture with a fence if fencing materials cost an average of #1.80 per linear foot? (5280 ft = 1 mile)

length = l miles
Breadth/width = l-5 miles

Area of rectangle = length * Breadth = l(l-5) = 84.
l^2 - 5l = 84
l^2 - 5l - 84 = 0 (solve quadratic equation)

l = 12 miles
breadth = 7 miles.

Total length of fence = perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
= 2(12+7) = 38 miles.

1 miles = 5280ft
38 miles = 200640ft

if 1 ft costs #1.80
therefore 200640ft will cost = #361,152.

Marriage is not compulsary

stillwater:
I've already made myself clear, heart breakers are not smart but wicked animals in a man's costume.

Every guy has been there before . . . most likely u're going to marry one wicked animal in future.

j-girl:
I just don't know why a guy can't fall in love with a girl and have eyes for only her.

many men i know do so. Its virtually impossible for me to look outside when i have a girlfriend and i know friends who are like that too.

mba who are those just calling David anyhow here? make una stop am o.

Wendy wake up from your slumber, which nigerian university is into research?

The first thing you shld ask yourself - where's your client base?

Zandra1:
A man that doesn't help out at home in this day and age needs to be tied to an iroko tree and flogged. Its as simple as that . You don't need your wife/girlfriend to ask u to help out before u do.
