RomanceRe: My Manhood Wouldn't Let Me Approach Woman, How Can I Overcome It, I Need Help by 4Play(m): 10:20am On Apr 17, 2013
a1solution: Before u approach a lady raise ur manhood up fly your shirt and use ur belt to hold it.
The pressure of the belt will calm it down, only for it to reassert itself again bringing you back to square 1 as you won't be able to perform your manouevre if this happens in front of the girl. I think I know too much about this matter embarassed

Bigcake: Look for rubberband and tie d 'Damn Ting' to ur lap. (2) U have to decide who rules n controls d body, either u or d Ogar below d belt. (3) wenever u want to talk to a girl, put ur right hand inside ur trousier pocket and re-channel d 'Damn Ting' into a direction dat will not be obvious for d girl to see it strength.
Good advice but I'm not sure about the re-channeling bit. It won't matter where you channel it to, the protrusion will still be apparent to the naked eye.

Being a man is not easy, ladies don't have to cope with the social implications of possessing an independent minded trouser snake.

Why not use strong sellotape to strap it down anytime you go out? Maybe, if you see a girl you want to approach, quickly head to the loo, take out your sellotape and tape down that untamed beast of yours. It should help.

PoliticsRe: Nigeria's Economy Set To Overtake South-Africa's In Two Years by 4Play(m): 9:54am On Apr 17, 2013
The projection that the size of Nigeria's economy will be larger than South Africa's in a few years is sound. It's funny seeing a motley of ignoramuses claiming this is inconceivable.

Of course, the quality of Nigeria's economic development is poor compared to RSA's; per capita income and living standards are much lower. However, it's the same way China has a larger economy than Japan due to population though living standards in China is awful compared to Japan.

The way GDP works is quite simple: A family of 10 with annual income of N2m is deemed ''richer'' than a family of 4 with income of N1.8m. You can see, however, living standards will be better in the latter than the former.

Nigeria has more than double RSA's population so just to match their average income, we should have more than double their GDP. Our GDP will surpass theirs soon, highly probable, but we are a long way from matching their standard of living.

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]Be honest,
how old were you when IBB and Abacha ruled
?

From the comments you made above, it's obvious you weren't even in secondary school then. How can you compare the level of development now to that era? The worst democracy is still better than the best military regime.[/quote]You will realise that a lot of the posters are very young or their minds are playing tricks on them. To have people praising the Abacha era, I remember spontaneous celebation and unbridled joy when Abacha died. Look at the following ignorant post:
Actionleap: Do you know that the best brains were running the economy for Sani Abacha when all the Western powers turned their back on Abacha? Prof. Sam Aluko was the brain behind the strong economy we had then. The dollar was N22 to $1! How did we get to this sorry state just between 1999 and 2010, the Naira exchanges for the dollar at 160 to 1! Shame on all the successive govt and their western world collaborators (IMF, World Bank, etc)
This person doesn't even realise that you couldn't exchange at the official rate of N22 to $1 unless you were highly connected. The value of the Naira was falling rapidly during the Abacha era reaching around N86 to $1 in the black market.

15 years research into mammaries and only researched into young women's, 18 to 35 year olds, bosoms. This man is a genius! After all, middle-aged women's bosoms don't matter. Does he need a research assistant?
FashionRe: Women Are Better-Off Without Bras - Research Claims by 4Play(m): 12:17pm On Apr 13, 2013
The study incited an international debate when a French professor performed a 15-year research on the evolution of the bra-less bosom.

Jean-Denis Rouillon, a professor at University of Besançon in France, authored a study stating that women are better off not wearing bras. They are scientifically unnecessary, and, in fact, could be hazardous to bosom health, leading to sagging bosoms and increased back pain.
This is better than staring at Excel spreadsheet all day. What a job. He got Govt funding to research mammaries for 15 years. Hats off to him.

Foreign AffairsRe: 10 reasons North Korea should apologise to US (picture) by 4Play(m): 10:53pm On Mar 29, 2013
The situation is a win-win for both sides. North Korea's sabre rattling helps sustain the North's regime by fostering a siege mentality in the North and it helps sustain US hegemony by scaring South Korea and Japan to continue to rely heavily on the US military umbrella. Obviously, the danger is that this PR game may turn into something serious due to miscalculation but the odds of that are very slim.
PoliticsRe: Jonathan To Eliminate Power Outage By 2012 by 4Play(m): 10:41pm On Mar 29, 2013
Sincere 9gerian: The 2012 target could not be met. Simple. There's no need to foam at the mouth over this issue.

I dont even believe in speculating over dates on the issue of stable power supply. There'r several variables one may not be incomplete control of. What is important is to pursue the power road map to logical conclusion and Nigerians will surely see incremental improvement in power supply. The president used to share this opinion but I was surprised when he recently promised stable power by mid-2014. I think the president should stick to his principle of not speculating on dates.

Meanwhile, tremendous progress has been made in implementing the power road map. The govt should just remain focused.
They must be paying you well for this dross. What does it say about a leader who makes public promises that he knows fully well are unattainable?

PoliticsNigerian Students, Some Other Ethnic Minority Groups, Outperform White Brits by 4Play(op): 10:38pm On Mar 22, 2013
White British children are being outperformed at school by a wide range of ethnic minority groups, including Chinese, Sri Lankan and Nigerian youngsters, a leading think-tank has revealed.

Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information act by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) show the percentage of children classed as white British or English gaining five A* to C grades at GCSE is below the national average.

Some nine minority groups of children are above the average, including Vietnamese, Indian, Ghanaian, Bangladeshi and Sierra Leone, the local authority data reveals.

But the report adds that some groups, such as Portuguese, Congolese and Yemeni students, are under-achieving.

If distributing 150,000 tablets will cost N200m, that means each tablet cost about N1333, less than $10 each. That's before you factor in issues regarding licensing.

The cost of buying 56 books each for 150,000 students has been put at N8.4bn, about N1000 each. Is that the cost of secondary school textbooks in Nigeria?
PoliticsWhy Nigeria Is A Poor Country by 4Play(op): 9:04pm On Mar 20, 2013
There's a perception out there amongst Nigerians that we are a rich country but that much of our money is disappearing down the politicians' pockets. While the point about theft is true the idea that we are a rich country, primarily due to our oil revenues, is patently false. Today was Budget Day in the UK and the gap between Nigeria's revenue profile and the UK's is staggering and I thought I share this observation with NLders.

The UK's projected income for the year is $918bn. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/interactive/2013/mar/20/budget-spending-interactiveTo put that into perspective, Nigeria's oil revenue from 1960 to 2008 has been estimated at $600bn. Here is a quote from an article
Since 1960, over $600 billion in oil revenues has flowed into Nigeria’s coffers; it represents an opportunity unavailable to much of the developing world. These petrodollars could have been spent pro­duc­tively, could have transformed agriculture, laid the foundation for an effective public education system, pro­vided much-needed infrastructure. Yet, according to the World Bank, of that $600 billion, $300 billion has simply disappeared into overseas bank accounts through theft and corruption.
Source:http://qn.som.yale.edu/content/has-globalization-failed-nigeria

If you take the above article's estimate, Nigeria's oil revenue over nearly 5 decades is roughly 2/3rds of the UK's revenue over 1 year. Here's the kicker, the UK has a population of 62m while Nigeria's population is estimated at 162m. Here's Nigeria's latest projected spending for the year:
Feb 26 (Reuters) - Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan approved on Tuesday a 4.99 trillion naira ($31.63 billion) budget passed by parliament, the presidency said, ending two months of dispute over the spending plans.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/26/nigeria-budget-idUSL6N0BQEYD20130226

The point of the above is that Nigeria's key challenge is that of economic growth not even corruption. If a single Kobo of our income was not stolen, we will still be poor. The real challenge is how to grow income through economic growth. A country can grow even with corruption, witness Italy post-WW2 and South Korea's military dictatorship, but a country with ineffective policies will forever be poor. This is why the huge spending on fuel subsidy and wages, in addition to the corruption monster, is effectively self-cannibalism. We are spending huge chunks of our money on consumption (wages, subsidy and corruption) instead of investment (ports, rail, roads, education and healthcare). To increase growth and develop as a nation, we need to transfer our spending from the former to the latter.
PoliticsUS May Cut Aid For Alamieyeseigha's Pardon by 4Play(op): 3:41pm On Mar 17, 2013
The United States of America may cut aid to Nigeria following the presidential pardon granted a former governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha and seven others.

Nigeria is one of the biggest recipients of US aid in Africa. Last year the US gave Nigeria about $226m in development aid and is expected to spend $600m this year.

Alamieyeseigha was found guilty and convicted of corruption before he was pardoned on Tuesday by the National Council of State after a meeting in Abuja.

The US stated that it was disappointed that those convicted of corruption could be pardoned by the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

It said the move was a setback for Nigeria’s anti corruption crusade.

A US newspaper, The Hill, quoted the State Department spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland as saying, “The United States government is deeply disappointed over the recent pardons of corrupt officials by the Nigerian government.

“We see this as a setback for the fight against corruption and also for our ability to play the strong role we’ve played in supporting rule of law and legal institution building in Nigeria, which is very important for the future of the country, obviously.”

Asked if the US could cut off aid, Nuland said it was possible, adding that the pardon put a dent on the collaborative efforts between Nigeria and the US in fight against corruption.

I know the above won't happen but it illustrates how the GEJ Govt and our political leaders continue to discredit themselves in the eyes of the world. I'm sure they ''don't give a damn'' though.

The way the debate has evolved suggests that Southerners are more interested in ''equitable" distribution of loot rather than having a transparent process that doesn't reward thieves like Stella Oduah and Emeka Offor. It doesn't make a difference to the average Igbo person if Arthur Eze is awarded an oil bloc anymore than the average Northerners' lives have improved with the present distribution of oil blocs.

Those who are knocking the journalists for doing their jobs, holding public officials to account, are sadly misguided. The notion that a public official should be protected from humiliation in TV interviews as he's a guest is bizarre.

The interview is nothing compared to the savage interview techniques of journalists like the BBC's Jeremy Paxman. I think many Nigerians are so used to genuflecting before public officials.

They have a clear constitutional right to be consulted on each pardon and with that they can unequivocally signal their objection to a pardon. There's no evidence that any member of the council expressed their objection. The requirement of consultation will be redundant if the process is a fait accompli once the President proposes names for pardon.

Why do mo-rons like you create straw man arguments? The President and every single member of the Council who endorsed this decision are responsible for endorsing impunity and corruption and showing Nigerian politicians are indistinguishable. You and others who pretend that GEJ is a cut above the rest in corruption are either ignorant, willfully blind or motivated by monetary or ethnic concerns. Long before GEJ was known, this country had topped many rankings of the world's most corrupt countries so to pretend that this is the sole responsibility of a Nigerian politician in a case involving unanimous consent is bizarre to say the least.

2) The powers of the President under subsection (1) of this section shall be exercised by him after consultation with the Council of State.
After consulting with the Council of State, did the Council signal their objection to show that they and GEJ are not birds of the same feather. It's clear the President the can only act in consonance with the Council not despite their objection. There's no point you delusional mercenaries acting as if the brazen endorsement of impunity here is the sole preserve of GEJ whilst the other politicians looked on helplessly.

bayooooooo: Corruption As Grand Commander Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria. I am not surprised but puzzled. GEJ is too corrupt to the extent that stuffs like this would be just normal to him. He does not worth the effort. But I am puzzled that even if people like Abati could not persuade him to drop such a daft decision, they could have at least persuaded him to leave it till the tail end of his lackluster and worthless administration. We now have a corruption in chief ruling ruining Nigeria. Perhaps they tried but Jonathan stuck to his foolishness.

The next move would be to confer one of the numerous useless titles called national honour on him for "promoting" peace in the Niger Delta and get him chaired a committee to reform EFCC. Bravo, GEJ is working! Uncommon transformation!! Fresh air!!! Haters are talking, GEJ is working looting!
You seem to be oddly silent on the rest of members of the Council of State who unanimously approved this appalling decision.
