mr prince

yes i did ask u to make an offer because am not the direct agent to the property and i belive given a serious buyer the property owner can come down a little on his price or otherwise.

the price will definately rise in the shortest possible time cos of the nature of property market in abuja and gwarinpa in particular.

thanks for ur comment will be expecting ur mail soon

hakir
onivehu2000@yahoo.com

theres something unique about this particular thread.

just when u think its about dying,some peeps come to put some life into it.

great thanks to Belewu(when i grow up,u are one of those i'll like to be like),thanks for making some peeps know that theres still hope afterall.

@zukkie4eva,i hardly know u but ur post was also d bomb.i am thoroughly refreshed.

@ahonohai,so u dey code urself since,baa?thats d way it ought to be bro.full barrels make no noise at all.i guess that should be the exact opposite of empty barrels make d most noise.

@niyoo harsh but true.i agree with you .

@davidylan,anytime i see your name close to any post,i shiver.i am often like "the guy who gives no hoot about anybody is here again".but i must confess ur posts are usually quite illuminating.thanks for the little lecture on "America as eldorado".u live there,so i am sure its a first hand view.

to all my other nlng"unsuccessful" and successful peeps,good moprning

kenosky,my bro.i hear say i miss.no blame me jare.make e no be say we no yarn.thank God d word hypocrisy has been redefined.at least i have played my part on seuns thread and i am glad.so how far bro.said u guys depart next week?men no be small thing o.God will see you through.

hmmm,

points have been made,
words have been used that can never be taken back,
trusts have been betrayed,
supposed friendships broken,
innate hypocricies revealed,
little tokens gone unappreciated,
parentages revealed,
physical attributes mocked,
stories formulated,
confidences broken,
and the thread locked(albeit for a short while).

after this incident,will thread members still wish to meet on a one-on-one basis.

uchetobi,an outsider spoke d heart of a million others when she said or rather justified why she would never encourage a nairaland union.

there have been fights on the thread.indeed i had d first official royal rumble on the thread but i am sure none has been this dirty.

kuwena,your point is made.i am sure its been noted.

as u say,opinion is free but let me add,it must be done bearing other people's sensibilities in mind.

u must understand how your posts have been viewed since d results came out.

d view of johnson law and his reaction(this is usually a quiet and nice chap on the thread) shows dt quite a number ,especially those chosen by nlng,believe u are not only envious but also do not wish them well.

being an intellectual,u should convey your thoughts in a most humane manner except u delibrately wish to be wicked.

and for all that is good,stop this overt ,unnecessary description of yourself.

much as i do not share your view on some descriptions,i concede that  its your fundamental right but let it be done with some caution,at least u havent seen so many other people on the thread.

this thread has a purpose and an aim.mundane issues are definitely not one of them.

i must also add that your continuous use of the word "my thread" makes little or no sense.

u started the thread (at least all d other threads were started by individuals) but it is not your thread in that u do not have exclusive right to it and u definitely cannot stop people from posting on it.

all threads on nairaland belong to seun and he does whatever he pleases with it.

at least he showed us who the real godfather was and still is by locking and unlocking it .

if it were yours u definitely could have done something bout it.

and not having to 'kneel' down to beg a fellow man to unlock the thread

u love america.and u feel dt is where your destiny lies.

my brother,i am not in the least of ways against u.

indeed i support.

and dts y i have never criticised u based on dt.

but also consider that some people love this country.

when u write ,also consider their sensibilities.

half of the people who joined this thread did so because of you.

i am definitely not an exception.

your posts were illuminating.

we were virtually eating from your palms.

your posts were sometimes so esoteric that only the initiated could understand.

people in despair ran to this thread on sunday for their weekly"Daraprim sunday-sunday medicine" which was your write-up on sunday after mass(when u were still catholic).

a friend had to tell me about this thread because he felt u were so good(not knowing i was d adrianic on the thread)

since d results came out,i must confess,your posts have been one written either with the sole aim of evoking pity or consoling yourself that u were rejected because of your percieved good looks or other factors dt seem ,to me, very embarrassing.

at d earlier stages i used to see peeps praising u on other threads,but today go to the thread for "insight communication Hopefuls" and see how a chic dissed d hell out of you, the once great kuwena,all because of nlng

at a time on this thread,that should be after d altercation between opoks and i,u said God forbid dt your faith in him should be hinged on nlng's outcome.

tho the truth is before the whole world.

but bro,as a lawyer,i believe in the freedom of religion and indeed in the freedom of all men to aspire to whatever heights or do whatever they wish to in as much as it does not infringe on another man's right.

this is the third time i"ll be saying this this week,'u are a genius'.

at least academically.

and i know i'd get to buy your book some day,

but since intercontinental does not work on saturday,i"ll suggest u take a weekend off and have a personal re-evaluation of yourself.u may think u have overcome the pain of losing nlng,but i do not think u have.lets forget all d 'hard man" posture,my guy.

there is no doubt u have changed and for the negative and worse too.if u look sincerely into yourself,u may come out a better and more refreshed fellow.

the battle for nlng has been lost and won.

almost all those chosen have even stopped posting while getting set for a lifetime experience.

those not chosen are getting involved in a war.

its time to discuss issues and not mundane descriptions of peoples anatomy, physiognomy and all what not.

and if we can't discuss issues,lets just honourably ask seun to lock the thread for life or we could just stop posting.peeps are goin to the uk next week ,we dey naija for this harmattan dey halla.

from your post and dt of opoks,i can see u guys ain't got strength to continue.all d arsenals have been exhausted.thank God.so could we have some peace.

and for u opoks,just as u love this country called nigeria,kuwena has a right to love america.

its his right enshrined under the constitution.

even if he insults the country with all vehemence,he has still not done anything wrong.

if he becomes great today in america,he would still be referred to as "kuwena,the nigerian born immigrant".even Barrack Obama still has kenya attached to all his descriptions in the press.

so please let the guy be when he chooses to diss where "Ani" made a mistake and 'posted ' him to.

as kuwena get hin own crase,u sef get your own.so live and let live.

i hope with these few points of mine,i have been able to convince u and not confuse u that,

let brotherly love continue, at least till the thread winds down.

pax Domine sit semper vobiscum

i realised that apart from johnsonlaw,all the other peeps involved in this stuff were not taken by nlng.

its so funny that while nlng has finished choosing its peeps and those ones are busy getting set for a solid future,some peeps are wasting time bragging about what makes no sense.

Aaliyah died at 21 in her own private jet.

most peeps here don't even have a bicycle spoke let alone a keke napep,and we are busy using our little strength to argue about trash.

all those chosen by nlng,be proud and happy and give all glory to God because your success is just beginning.

i would give a left finger to be in your shoes no matter how anyone feels.

and for those not chosen,the earlier we moved on the better.

i can't agree more with johnson law who said that since d nlng result came out,kuwena has been writing in such a manner that suggets that those taken are indeed unfortunate.

at least we are not illiterates.we definitely can read and understand.

u guys are highly favoured.how i wish u knew.

the ball is now in your courts.what u do with it is left to you.

i happen to come from a family where i am the last child.much as my parents were not "aristocratic",i got almost all i reasonably asked for and they could afford,

i have never been used to rejection.

but nlng rejected me(and even codedly called me an "olodo" and i have come to see it like God telling me "boy,u can't get what u ask for all the time,even from ME".

irrespective of all the "hard man" posture we showed on the thread,at so many midnites i found myself asking "what really happened?.

knowing how bad i was in maths,i was surprised how i could have passed through the 2 stages that had reasonably tough maths(for lawyers,most maths questions are hard) and now not be considered fit at a stage i thought i was the don.

i was called to the bar in november 2005 and have been practising in litigation firms since then until february last year.so i couldnt understand y nlng would reject me at a stage i thot"it was already done", a stage where i had to talk and make a presentation

but perhaps the Almighty God,maybe felt i would give the glory to myself as a  lawyer.but i know he is preparing something equally good for me at his own appointed time.

i have taken it all in my strides.and i am so ok and rooting for all the regular and irregular posters on the thread who were chosen.

u guys are d bomb and i am sure God will complete what he has started in your lives.

i know so many of the "unsuccessfuls" have since moved on.

kuwena please join the train.and to use your own words"be guided".

u have a job millions will kill for.

appreciate"Ani" or whoever u believe helped u get this one and proceed.

a word is enough these days for fools,let alone the wise.

i want to also believe u are not one.

i greet you.

tommy men.e go be.even as nlng no take me,i value the friendships made from the thread.

i have read kuwenas post with so much astonishment.

much as i do not blame the guy for his extreme anger,i still feel compelled to make some further comments.

when this thread started,it was basically to encourage,inform and entertain ourselves while waiting for the nlng results.

at different times people have showed their human side by betraying different emotions.

i have often said that that was what made the thread a bit more beautiful.

we have never claimed to be saints on the thread.so mistakes are permitted.even so called holy pple make grave errors ,let alone mere mortals like us.

but one canot deny the  fact that since the nlng result came out,pple have reacted in different ways.its only a natural feeling.rejection is not usually an easy thing to take especially when u know u have done all u reasonably can to be accepted.

but this does not then mean that readers should be assailed with unnecessary descriptions of pple's human anatomy.

i love myself so much.at least i am created in the image and likeness of God.and that is enough for me.and i think it should be for every normal person.

this nonsense of coming to the thread to describe ones anatomy has got to stop.

much as i know the thread is in its dying days,i dont think its an excuse for mundane descriptions.

kuwena is not an enemy and never will be.indeed he was the first nairaland guy i met one-on-one.

but if we cant discuss issues here,then lets at least stop this mundane praise of what we did not have a hand in creating.

its now so irritating and annoying.

when our mates in better nations are thinking and working their asses out to be entrepreneurs and people of repute, people are here talking about things that would even confound little children.

its even so funny that the guys chosen by nlng are getting set to leave for their respective destinations while those not taken are spending valuable time describing inanities.

please enough of all this joo.kuwena grow up.u are a genius but that is not all one needs to survive in this harsh world.

i hope that after this grand finale of all battles between u and opoks,u would spare us of this constant descriptions of yourself.

but if this will not be done,then i wouldsuggest the posting of ur pix would solve this problem once and for all.haba!

ehido,so u still dey.no be small thing o.u never can tell how many people read the thread until there is a beef.so in essence,it means tantrums encourage more posts.thats good.happy new year bro.may this year be better than all the others for us.

jill, good to have u back.its been quite a while.good also to know u did not run out on us.

its time to retire for the day.have peace peeps.

was meant to hook up with tommy before coming back to abuja but owing to some unforeseen circumstances,i couldnt.so tommyboy,i'd be back at the end of the month,we must surely meet then.as nlng say make we no see for bonny,we must create our own bonny.abi how u see am.and lest i forget,keep saying the truth.e no dey kill.

when a dispute arises on the thread,peeps as usual call for peace without trying to apportion blames.

much as this may be a good practise in some cases, but i feel there is a need to point out some salient facts.

this may once and for all put an end to some stupid behaviours and attributes noticed on the thread through some comments made.

i have done everything humanly possible not to respond to kuwenas posts ,no matter how annoying they may be(and i must confess dt quite a number of them have been annoyingly so).

my reason lies in the fact that i think the guy is a genius in his own right.

i originally thought i could write,but when i read kuwena's posts,i only realised i was an apprentice in comparison.

i was also deeply moved by his "unshakable faith" in God(which as stubborn opoks noted was all because of the golden fleece called nlng).

how right the poor boy(opoks) was.

and thirdly i was afraid that in his usual xteristic manner ,kuwena would accuse me of being jealous and envious like all africans are.

having said this i think it would be unjust keeping quiet considering kuwenas penchant for speaking like former president obasanjo who sees and believes only what he wants to at every point in time.

kuwena has over a long period of time assailed our ears with talks about being handsome.

much as its good to appreciate urself(even when its a lie),it becomes irritating to the ears when it becomes hackneyed and over-emphasised.

i have seen kuwena.

not in a crowd,but one-on-one.

kuwena,u are not handsome,at least in the way we mortals understand it.

tho i believe all things created by God are good.

i still do not understand all the nonsense about chest pushed against the wind, being big, and having an aristocratic father.

is dt the reason y nlng refused to take you.thats a most stupid comment to start the new year

my irritation with kuwena in this case arises from the circumstance in which all his bragging started from.

opoks had praised wandel for not only being a genius but for having got all the best jobs since his nysc.

for the records,wandel served in intercontinental bank and shortly after service moved to kpmg.in less than two months he got this nlng job.

the guy who should even be proud and arrogant in turn gave all the glory to God and not to his famed intelligence.

enter kuwena.

kuwena enters next by saying he has realised why he would not be able to survive in the nigerian job industry and why companies may not take him.

he wishes he were not handsome, big, with a late aristocratic father, bla bla and all sort of rubbish u hear in a psychiatric home.

i have asked myself, "what is the realationship between opoks and wandels post and the trash posted by kuwena".

i might sound too harsh but God would be so upset with me if i did not make kuwena understand his tom-foolery.

we must also not forget that all the madness about making a first class on the thread started with kuwena.

surprisingly,some other guys who made a first class on the thread(i happen to know about 5 of them) purposely kept quiet and refused to blow their own trumpet.

as usual i am expecting him to accuse me of being envious.

d whole world is envious of kuwena.

i think the time has come for kuwena to understand that when people keep quiet just to let peace reign on the thread,it should never be equated with stupidity.

we have heard enough of all these trash concerning being handsome and all what not(especially when those of us who have seen know its only a figment of the imagination).

and especially when it comes from the same person.

if the thread is going to die, let it die but please until then,if we cant go on congratulating the successfuls, then lets discuss issues.

as a law student,the motto of my law society was " fiat justitia ruat coelum" which simply means "let justice be done even if the heavens fall".

i hope i have done justice here.and i know the heavens will not fall.

on the 28th of december 2007,i gave opoks a call asking to check him up at the office and if possible have lunch with him(seems opoks is now the lunch master).

the guy obliged despite his tight schedule.

i must confess that all opoks has said about his tight schedule is true.

saw him in action at his office.

it was a very eventful day.

it was renewing having lunch with a guy so deep.

apart from being suave,urbane and good looking,the guy has brains.

listening to opoks was pretty illuminating.

tho the loss of nlng was painful,with opoks i got to view things again from an entirely different perspective.

when opoks came into the thread and posted his"annoying words", apart from dissing him thoroughly especially for making a reference to kuwena's "deep faith in God", i had further told him that in three worlds he would never be able to have the kind of faith kuwena has.

i have never been more wrong in my life.

at least events have proved me so and i am not ashamed to say so.

opoks's faith in his God is something better heard and felt in person than on the thread.

opoks, thanks for the lunch.and dont forget,i owe u one when that stuff comes to fruition.i am so proud knowing u

hey peeps,sorry for missing out on the party for so long.travelled out of abj for the christmas break.had to see my mum that i saw last on the saturday i had my assessment centre.i was really so fagged out dt i spent almost the entire holidays indoors and within my area.i only stumbled on a friends computer when i sent the new year wishes.just as i prayed then,i reiterate,may all our good dreams come true this year in Jesus name.welcome guys to the new year.its a year of great beginnings.God bless us all

Happy New Year peeps.may God grant us all our good heart's desires this year.

opoks,your last post was really expository.

i am sure quite a number of peeps never knew and probably would never had known but for your explanation.

its a pity things had to happen the way they did but dt does not mean one should dwell in sorry eternally.

i am so proud of you for having dusted off the disappointment and moved on with your life with more vigour.

i hope our fellow peeps would emulate your spirit.

i derive great joy from the fact that i know i gave it my best shot and dt if i am called to go through the whole process again ,i'd change nothing i did originally.

with the stories from some of d present successfuls,hope springs eternal in my soul(and i hope in the souls of those who did not make it now) that the future can only bring greater joys.

i must even say i pity nlng because much as one may be upset with them for not taking him,we must agree that they must have been in a dilemma themselves.

imagine having to pick 89 or 90 persons from a pack of 464 elite graduates all with great potentials.

i heard nlng has a nigerian managing Director now.when i see him(or if i see him) ,i'd tell the guy "i know nlng did its best"

the battle has been won and lost(and for some temporarily though) but lets move on stoically,with our heads raised high and with renewed hope in the presence of our redeemer whose birth we commemorate in the next few days,knowing that in the end we shall all be fine.

now lest i forget,let me invite my peeps(especially those in Abuja) for my Christmas Carols holding at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, Wuse Zone 2,Abuja on Saturday,the 15th day of December at exactly 6.00p.m.

i am that very fair guy,like a half caste(who dash monkey banana) who sings Bass standing at the back row.i wouldnt mind a surprise attendance.

tombri and ahonohai,nice move.get the cash first b4 leaving.u have earned it.abi na orphanage?

kenosky, abi na( angelamy),abeg no vex for your guy.na jab cause am.i am a bit more thoroughly engaged.but anyway,i must hail before this week runs out.men congrats on your resignation from zenith.much as there are a million and one people who would give anything to even get the zenith job,i still realise dt u'd have greater fulfilment in nlng and be able to close from work on time and still enjoy the "pepper".so bro,congrats once again.we must hook up before u move

@aniffy,man proposes ,God disposes.hope u understand?as per the bonny stuff?

@tombri,the new Godfather.i am loyal

what is wrong with me.how can i forget to congratulate my fellow alumnus,the guy who served in the same state with me.WANDEL,CONGRATS MY BRO.this is just the beginning of greater things to come.show them the stuff u are made of.

guys,

its been quite a while.

had to do some travelling.

thank God the letters have finally come.

this is to wish all u guys ,aniffy,kenosym,kenosky,johnsonlaw,tombri,pgm,biolabee and all other peeps on the thread who made it the best in life.

u guys deserve to be there.

keep the flag flying and while doing so never fail to pray for us who saw the promised land but could not enter.

WE FIT NO GET FOR BONNY BUT WE GO MEET FOR A HIGHER REALM.

NO BE SMALL THING O

CONGRATULATIONS BRO'S

E GO BETTER FOR UNA

runsaway,

i am not under the illusion that nlng is the highest paying company in nigeria.

indeed there are other companies that pay better and other business ventures dt may yield more cash.

so i agree absolutely with u my sister.

bt dt is not the crux of my gist with thought.

the guy has done nothing to me but i am not so comfortable with all these riddles and jokes.

why tell us about a job or venture your friend abandoned nlng for and now refuse to divulge the koko.

its like telling a group of kids"i am something when i close my eyes i am black and when i open my eyes i am white,what am i?".

and after dt u refuse to give the answer or u take off.

wouldnt it have been better if u hadnt asked d question or betterstill shut up?

y run away even when the successfuls are asking to know.

pllllllllzzzzzzzzzz

tommyex,

u are hot like fire.

no be small thing o.

see as bros dey take on any and everybody wey mess up.

when tommy first joined the thread, for any thing that might cause an altercation ,he would say"abeg u pple should not abuse me o".

but bros no send again.

see him dishing out the truth to thought,kuwena et al.

see what we mean when we say every disappointment is a blessing.

tommy is now getting to know another part of himself.

men dont stop.continue to say it as it is.

TOMBRI,u keep on complaining dt u dont want to head the thread but without knowing it ,u 'v already started heading.

u are the first these days to post and ask about how we all are doing and in short ,crisp sentences u post words of encouragement.

if dt aint leadership i wonder what it is.take up the mantle bro.

this thread will outlive seun,the father of nairaland.

even as bigboys,directors,judges,entrepreneurs and top dogs we'd still meet here until somebody takes up the mantle to invite us to meet face to face and finally DECODE our code names.

for the nlng successfuls(no longer hopefuls),i await ur thanksgiving parties.that may even be an earlier opportunity to meet.

i have often asked myself what makes this thread thick.

is it the quality of graduates that daily ventilate and postulate in it,

is it cos its the only thread that has an executive council(though not elected but even more recognised than the elected ones),

is it the camaraderie or brotherhood expressed in it,

is it the show of humanity(the fights and quarrels,the yabs,the intellectual aggressiveness,the reconciliation,the total dependence on the spiritual),

or what?

i think its basically a combination of all these factors and even more that i cannot readily remember.

what makes d friendship of men different is dt it tends to last forever barring all unforseen circumstance.

i am happy and proud having met the guys on the thread.

i doubt if i ever would be able to be dedicated to any thread again like this.

i feel we should keep the spirit up.keep the phone numbers.lets keep the friendships.

they may come in handy especially for those who aim to later do their own thing in life rather dn work for someone else.

i already have opoks,kenosky,tommyex,kuwena(if bros can disown his own bros cos of nlng ,dont kno if i am safe adding him as a friend) and tommyex's phone numbers.

i aint letting these guys go nowhere.

i need u guys at the party when i become a SAN OR JUDGE

@thought,why are u so fond of taking off after propounding new theories.just last week u told us about a lofty plan A u had that a friend had to ignore(or is it almost ignore) nlng because of.when people started asking u to tell them d "koko" of the gist,u just bolted.i am hereby applying to know o.i want to know dt job or thing in naija dt somebody would "blank" nlng because of even without starting with d company.please uncle,joo show me d way.i will never let u go unless u tell me

i can assure all u guys that were called that u have absolutely nothing to fear.the stage of medicals is usually the last one irrespective of any further formalities after dt.nlng may call in batches but for those who have done d medicals,be assured dt all is well.i am sure u are free to start giving the hint in your office that u'd soon be leaving.nlng wont waste all dt time they did only to start dropping pple again.in order not to be in johnsonlaws position(which i think can be settled with some calm explanation) better tell ur partner or any necessary party cos u guys are starting pretty soon.

tommyex,how far.how d jab.

ehido,can see u are back for good.welcome bro.i no run.i dey.i just dey prod my peeps up in spirit

u guys have been hailing opoks.u aint seen nothing yet.d guy is a bomb waiting to explode like i once said.

to all my peeps who didnt make it, proceed.
it aint the end of life

pgm, my brother.u funny die o.i read with so much amusement d issue of ur eye stuff.i heard nlng took 89 souls and i can bet my life they aint dropping no one.its not like u are blind.stop the apprehension. God don give u.nobody fit take am from u.except u want to follow thots plan A that his friend had to start thinking of dropping nlng for(the biggest lie of the year).so bro relax.u are in.

hey guys,

when i had my beef with opoks i remember telling him dt even if nlng does not call me,i'd still continue posting on this thread.

i do not intend to renege on dt promise.

i would be a big fool to deny dt i was disappointed in not being chosen to work in nlng.

but thank God, that in all things i have learnt to be human by feeling extremely sad and like a spoilt son rush back to my God to take solace.

i have furthermore delved so deep into my work dt my boss is so glad that hes given me a nice raise even though with added responsibility.

i have also been trying to put a bid together for a contract we are fighting to get at the European Union Commission in abuja.

owing to these reasons,i have not been able to post for quite sometime.

but from the deepest recess of my heart, i am glad for all d peeps on the thread who made it especially for all the peeps who went thru d pains with us on the thread, kenosky,pgm,aniffy,kenosym, wandel and for the new peeps on the block tombri et al,u guys are great too

with u guys i feel less pains.

much as i know the nigerian factor of favouritism,i have also realised dt with the calibre of people i met and still meet daily on this thread, i know nlng did their best.

i must also commend the guys who were chosen.ur humility since u guys were called ought to be lauded.u have shown that u guys really deerve to be in the train.

adrianic is proud of u guys.

and from my heart i say "may all you other dreams come true."

opoks,we have to organise a competition for pgm and kenosky to know who crase pass.

pgm is already negotiating for the soul(i think dts a better option than the devil).

ok, no fight.

i want to negotiate for the brain ,the hypothesis and the manuscripts.chei,see business
