adaobi123: Why ? Because you said so ?

adaobi123: When the likes of British airways or virgin start flying to enugu, notify me

speedyboi: And that's the reason why I think she shouldn't have appeared in this movie at all! Where actors not up to her status (even O.C. Ukeje - he is one of the hot cakes in Nollywood cinema scene, so don't get me wrong) played a much better role. Her not acting in HOAYS doesn't change anything about her, but what will affect her 'status' is continuous playing of this kinda role. Its not as if its a cameo or anything.

speedyboi: Mercy Johnson is ebira. And ebira part of Kogi state is yoruba. Her other name is Shola infact.

speedyboi: Just for the record, Ramsey nouah is yoruba in the first place. His middle name is Tokunbo. And that's the same reason I didn't mention him, Desmond or mercy Johnson.

O.M.E:
ramsey noah spoke yoruba in figurine but in this particular film, Tony umez wasn't even fluent in yoruba at all and there wasn't any other notable actor/actress in the film

0monnak0da: In life you have to earn things and for now Osogbo festival is still in its early days but we have a plan which we are working on.These things are not luck or chance occurences. Millions will come to visit Osun just like Mecca and Jerusalem. So we will get there.The only problem I have with you is I know you just said that to appear good.Deep down you resent the Yoruba so be true t yourself

0monnak0da: why? I honestly don't get it what is so news worthy about this? Besides I don't think you believe that really. Keep it real dude!

speedyboi: I don't get the big deal about Genny appearing in Half of a yellow sun. If she's not there, there are other Nollywood cinema faces, such as Wale Ojo (Phone swap), Zack Orji, Tina Mba, Onyeka Onwenu etc.....So what's the fuss about?

speedyboi: So you are just knowing yoruba films feature non yoruba actors?
Chidi Mokeme, Emeka Ike, Kate Henshaw, Uche Jombo etc.. all act in Yoruba films.

agbameta: The man said rig, not win. Btw, he's right..

AjanleKoko: We're not interested in his opinion. His opinion did not stop him from earning the dosh for 3 years, so why should we care?
How is he different from former Senator Akinyede who admitted 'Yes we are overpaid', after leaving the Senate for 6 years?
He should go suck on something jare.

A-town:
No mind the dem. I have a lot of them as friends. While some of what Tim Newman posted is correct, the fact still remains that most of the expats who work in Nigeria chose to do so. I know how much extra per diem and day rates this guys get. He obviously forgot to mention that he "enjoyed" every bit of the jumbo pay that he got for those 3 years. Jumbo pay tha he CAN NOT get even in Saudi or Oman.

CFCfan: These foreign embassies know that Nigerians are amongst their biggest source of cash, yet they still limit themselves to just 3 cities, which is somewhat unfair. Having a presence in the old Eastern region won't be a bad idea, as no one can convince me that Kano is safer then anywhere in the SS/SE.

chidindufrank: Good for them before it gets to acid pouring level. GEJ 2015

Rossikk: A lot of what the guy says is wrong, such as that peoples' lives have not improved since the military, and that democracy has delivered no dividends etc etc. Typical shallow analysis by a person who's never lived in Nigeria, but is just a visitor who now thinks he knows everything.

Gbawe: Thank you. Note he played victim when I took him on but I stated, because I know his treachery and mission, that he would display the same antic "today or tomorrow". See for yourself:

Gbawe wrote on page 1:


After I stated the above, would a sensible person not thread with caution so as not to prove others right? Not Afam ....because he simply can't control his fondness for ignorant talk that are a very bad cover for his chronic affliction of slander, undermining sneers and 'bad belle' against others.

On page 4 our friend Afam appears to prove me right by saying some are celebrating the launch of taxis as performance without even the ability to read and comprehend to note that people are celebrating what, in totality, is increasingly appearing like an overall robust State transport scheme. Anyone who has been to Paris, New York, London or even some developed African Cities will tell you of the enviable overall transport scheme that offers enough choices to ensure there are always options for travellers. We then come to Nairaland to be dealing with clueless yet mischievous individuals like Afam and Insincere9jara who will never shut up despite having nothing to contribute but ignorant negativity. Annoying. Very effing annoying.

The problem with Afam is that he is not very bright yet he is not humble either. Bad combination when you insist on being a 'bad belle' contributor who only wants to run others down. You will easily get discredited, time and time again, being like that.

seanet02: You have not stated your true position

Sincere 9gerian: Some people have no shame. Imagine the celebration of the launch of 150 taxi cabs. Incredible. Even the most clueless governors and those that are/were tagged "non-performers" also launched even bigger taxi cab schemes. Yet these are the same clowns that talks of mediocrity when it comes to certain achievements of GEJ. What could be more mediocre than celebrating taxi cab schemes? Shameless hypocrites
