I think she's too good for him but since he's a comedian oh well What does she bring to the table? Nada,  Basket Mouth has brought a lot to the table,

Really being influenced by other people's opinion is a sign of inferior culture or cultural complex.

Given that ibos produce the highest number of graduates is crap.
Do ibos produse the highest number of Phds. Can ibos translate that into becoming africas R and D . Presently the chinese produce higher number of graduates than US and EU.
I am not sure if the have started producing higher number of Phds than EU and US .
Mind you competion is coming from the south south ( eventhough 30 % of ss is ibo)
As you can see china is not yest the R and D of the world. It is still silicon valley , stanford , havard , and MIT.

Going to school and producing graduates is not enough, producing human capital is everything.

There is a real need for ibo enterprenuers to move the headquater of their businesses worldwide back to the east ( or R and D and sales department.



Egghead is speaking, Check Forbes list and tell me how many billionaires with Ph.D?

right on the money. it's a house of cards

when last did you go with ABC? The last time i travelled with ABC from Abuja to Port Harcourt we left at about 8am and arrived PH 12 midnight.That was my 3rd similar experience via road,i vowed never to travel by road again except with a private car.

Until we learn the importance of maintenance culture,these problems will keep occurring.

I was implying that ABC has more experience in Naija routes than any new company and in the same vein, I will not fly Arik overseas, because it lacks experience to deliver top notch international traveling experience.

I have said this before and will say it again. I will take ABC Transport and Young Shall Grow over Greyhound and First Bus lines (if they were in Naija) to successfully take me from lagos to Abuja , while I will take Virgin Atlantic and Delta over Arik take me from EU and US to Nigeria. I still cant understand why people take Arik internationally. Nigerian companies are globally challenged to adhere to world's best practices.

Is English suppose to be his mother's tongue, didn't you understand what he was saying? You should upgrade your brain first before correcting other people.
You should develop your brain for thinking, not for follow, follow. How did the poster arrive at the number that 75% of Nigerians in diaspora lack insight? Who is this guy? Dr Phil or Deepak Chopra?

Upgrade your grammar first before calling people names.  Most =has/have? What did your teacher tell you about rules of concord?

I need some of these contracts,

Since we cannot have a dog with a license, maybe we should require would-be parents to show proof of eligibility and sanity before having kids. Way tooo mannny kidss in Naija.

Lie. It's not the [b]first transformer manufacturing company in Nigeria.
I used to know and even do business with one at Calabar Free Trade Zone.

Her dad is Will Smith! The only rapper that doesn't curse

in his songs.

Many kids in the hood who can match her performance or even out perform her, but their dad is not Abraham in Will Smith,  BTW, Will Smith doesnt curse, how many albums  has he sold comparable to Eminem who  has sold tens of millions  with Grammys and an Oscar  to top it off. Eminem= curse+beef

As expected, it's the same delusional brainless tribal noise void of reality.


There's a reason why you are inconsequential and marginal in the scheme of things in Nigeria, it's the same worthless, irrelevant and shallow mindset pervasive in your communities, you can not even become a freeking president in your own freeking country and you have the nerve to run mouth about your brain and useless money.

And the saddest part is the silly claim that you help develop other people's land as if that's some badge of honor, where is the sense and wisdom in that?. especially when your own villages are 50yrs behind time.

lol @ refinery and economic power house, Your economic power crap can even rival ordinary Ogun state.

Your brain is on paper, not in reality or on the ground.


Like I said, I shake my head at some o the daft and illiterate comments I read on this site.

OBJ was made president against the will of his kinsmen. So he was imposed on his kinsmen. So what kind of political relevance is that? Back to the topic, why is it that a "bushman' from Anambra outcompetes, out-hustles, out-invests, outsmarts typical Lagosians like you in your own back yard? Could the same be said of you if you in lived in Onitsha?

This is  for your silly brain
"Do what I done without, crying in the environment
in which I did it in without dying, my nigga.
Rap like I rap without lying,
Then tie em both together like iron, my nigga.
Then write sixteens in between running sixteen business,
all the while showing these young punks what the bizness is." Jay -Z

Good initiative, but our destiny to have power is  still dependent on this  corrupt entity called NEPA of PHCN (Please Hold Candle All Nite). It's still a monopoly where PHCN's approval will be needed in order to buy these transformers.

Since govt is not always a good manager,I would hope that LASG is  not  the majority holder to be saddled with day to day running of this venture; bearing mind that another administration coming after BRF may not be visionary. LASG should  follow Daimler Benz/Anamco joint venture model,

American founding fathers fought the British first , worked hard and prayed later; so did our founding fathers, but our current generation wants to fast and pray their way out of our present situation. We believe that prayers will triumph over inaction.

How about  folks who  withhold very useful  information?   My best friend's wife  didn’t tell my friend - her husband of her fibroid until she was pregnant and became a constant visitor to a perinatologist. Risky and silly stuff some folks do for marriage

show some feragamo shoes please

[b]But of what use is all that when your towns and villages are crap, your people are not safe, your kids are legit targets by kidnappers, your men and women are getting slaughtered because of greed/ money?


How many of the so called brains resides in Anambra? Even your folks in diaspora no won venture inside any corner of the eastern part of Nigeria cos they don't wanna get killed or kidnapped.

It's 2010 and the so called brain BOX and the human and whatever capital you're talking about don't have a freeking airport or anything to boast of in terms of critical and basic development. Your brain box exits only in Jonathan's mouth, not in reality.

I see many of you are quick to drop names like Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Adichie and the rest of them, but how many of them are walking up and down your streets and making any kind of difference in  the lives of your people? Wole shoyinka get nobel prize, but he's on the ground in Nigeria fighting and risking his life for us all everyday. Your brain box and money don't mean nothing at the end of the day.

You  focus too much on petty and mouthy nonsense and ignore the critical needs of your people and region. You are here jumping up and down because some vote seeking political opportunist made some a/s/s licking claim that don't mean jack in any terms in Nigeria. You are almost like second class citizens with zero political/any kind of power in Nigeria.


I read the crap some of you post on NL and I sometimes ask myself if some of you are just naive immature juveniles or just plain delusional group of people. , seriousy, I shake my head.[/b]
It's  like you have  a frozen brain. U cant comprehend a simple fact. Lagos city is  a commercial  centre of Nigeria and Anambra is not in contention for that, but it's a state that has a lot of human resources and  it out-produces  Lagos with more brains .It sends more people to university than Lagos. Check Jamb site.  It's  a state that got the highest concentration  of banks in Nigeria outside Lagos, P.H and Abuja. You are proud to be called a Lagosian, but cannot match the success of an Anambraian who started with 20 pounds after the war in Lagos. It seems that you  are delusional that the mere fact that OBJ being  a  Yoruba man,  would treat you better than he would  treat likes of Andy Ubah and Emeka Offor. What have you got to show that your kinsmen have held power? In this world, money is how people keep score. It's a state that has higher household income than Lagos, not minding the fact Anambraians living in Lagos would constitute a chunk of the population whose incomes would be factored  in when calculating earning power or household income. Would  you also name likes of Achebe and Adichie from Lagos who live and work in Lagos? It seems you have a glorified view of Lagos, cos if you were born before June 12, 1993, you would have known the impact of non-Lagosians- mostly Igbos in Lagos.

babapupa or babasuwe, cant you use your brain for some other things instead of antagonizing anything that doesnt have your God's name -Fashola on it. You still wallow in ignorance and geographically bereft. Enugu is not Anambra , maybe Lagos would be called envy box when GEJ visits since it has way too many fools like you in it. CSI= Cant Stand Idiots

cant work in the office again in my life.people are just wastibg their time! they will pay u, take tax, then give IBTC pension theirs which they say u can only collect at the age of 60 or at retirement whichever that comes first,imagine!just compare wat u make in your office and wat u will make in the trucking business the choose yea this day whom u will serve,for me, i will be in apapa!

maybe we can do something together. I'm into mack trucks , parts, CAT, and detroit as well.

Inasmuch as I'm not a fan of GEJ, I would want Naija- my country, to be wrestled out of hands of owners of Nigeria INC like Ciroma and CO. It's like getting Anambra state out of the hands of godfathers like Chris Ubah and Emeka Offor.

Nice crib!!!. Hope his house doesnt get broken into like Kanu's. He has a wonderful personality I think,

Imagine If Wright brothers seriously believed in ''prayers'' and ''revelations'' like these, Airplanes would not have been buit
Imagine if Neil Armstrong seriously believed in ''prayers'' and ''revelations'' like these; Man would not have landed on the moon
Imagine if our founding fathers believed in ''prayers'' and ''revelations'' like these, Nigeria would not have become.

I love my parents, but sometimes, they dont get it right. I'm always arguing with my mom on need to go and see a doctor even when she's not sick, she feels that it's OK to go months without seeing a doctor. She will drink holy water before Panadol. I would not believe her if she told me that she got a revelation in dreams that she would be OK without seeing a doctor.

Unless you are talking about messing around with Naija women, marriage is not as fun as you might have found out. Marriage with any other girl -black,yellow, green and white is going to have its own triumphs and tribulations. I have a friend whose first marriage failed, he cohabitated this lady for years and broke it off, remarried this lady, called it a mistake and broke it off, and finally remarried this lady. My question is must you be married to be happy and accomplished? Unless you want to be like Charlie Sheen

I never start up sommin without a definition. . . It has to be defined from the word go

Thanks my dear, because folks want to called something they dont deserve. Sometimes, folks think that with time they would change their situation from being a friend with benefits to a boyfriend or a girlfriend even when one of the parties had made it known ab initio that there would be no strings attached.

He married the man because of his millions period I should have copyrighted my thought before you '’stole" it out of my mind… lol  For her to speak that way, it means that her husband has what most eligible bachelors in Naija dont have MONEY,  This lady is beautiful and popular to find a descent young man whom she's going to be NUMBER 1 to.  She should have said that being a second wife to a millionaire is much better than being a first wife to a struggling guy whose future is not yet bright at 30something,

how about 73KVA? Someone wants to sell this to me. What's the market price for it?

the Southeastern states of Abia, Edo, Imo
So US consulate officers do not know the difference between southeast and south-south? Is Edo in SE or SS? No wonder they cared less when terrorist's dad told them of his son's suicidal mission.

Claiming parasitic crap like okada, hawking goods on our streets and highways  and setting up  spare part stalls in Alaba and other places is immense contribution is ludicrous when Lagosians have been on the grind way before igbo mass Exodus into Lagos state because the o called  engine box couldn't get it together back home.

Too moronic to claim to be called a Lagosian, but too wretched to live in it. Most of these down trodden spare parts dealers in Alaba drive better cars and live in better houses and neighborhoods than you. If I had to choose between living in Epe as a Lagosian and  living in Alaba as a non-Lagosian, I would  choose Alaba any day.

By saying Anambra is the brain box of Nigeria ,it means Nigeria cannot function without Anambra.That Anambra is the engine that drives Nigeria. That is a very heavy statement that he should not have made at all. A leader like Hugo Chavez of Venezuela will never make a statement like that at least not in that manner. A leader should think about the consequences of his remarks before he speaks. I do not have anything against Anambra or any other state for that matter but I despise cheap politics. Cheap politics that is meant to deceive the unsuspecting populace into voting for a particular candidate. In plain terms it is called a.z.z kissing and that is what Jonathan is doing.

Since American is a model for our "democracy" State like Texas is called lone star state and Texans would tell  you dont mess with Texas, does that mean that the rest of 49 states are irrelevant? Texas would even boast that she can separate from the union any time she wants to.California is known for Hollywood movies, Silicon Valley where companies like google, facebook, and yahoo etc were hatched. New York City is the financial capital does that  mean that every other state doesn't have shit to offer? GEJ was on a working visit to Anambra, so if he were in Delta, he would have said something like  power house or Saudi Arabia of Nigeria. Lagos could called Dubai or NYC of Nigeria.

Thank God for NL!! I don find my missing sister from different mama, Miss Mauritius. God don answer my prayer after all the night vigil prayers and many visits to babalawo, I know one day for sure I go find her.

Naija babe, So this is Naija what produced out of 150 million or is it now a rotational selection like presidency?

The problem with the above statement with regard to Anambra is that there has not been enough collaboration between entrepreneurs and academicians. It has been a divergent pathway for business leaders and intellectual leaders in the state. Intellectuals feel that those who are in business have missed out by not acquiring a lot of degrees while those in business feel that money is the only way of settling and keeping scores. Come to think of it, we mostly go to school to improve ourselves financially and otherwise.
