@Poster,

To help you out, do the following
1. Lay on your bed.
2.Let your mind travel to the future
3. Imagine your sweet fine girlfriend
4. You walk in one day and she is banging your brother

Now wake up, what you feel like doing is what you should do today. If to say I wan abuse you, I for say you are a he-goat but I no get mind to abuse you sha.

My dear, to help you make up your mind, let me paint you a simple scenario.

Two years down the line, you go to a function and see this dude that the chemistry is good and the bobo is fine. What would be holding you back? Pity?

If there ain't no chemistry, please call it off and make your excuses now.

[quote author=na_so link=topic=536775.msg6992598#msg6992598 date=1287752636]And what are you saying? How much can you chew at any given time? After this october 1 case is concluded, yes govt could look at the previous ones, or better still this recent  bombing and the attendant investigation could throw up leads to the previous cases which can be looked at in greater detail, but the call for parrallel investigation into previous cases at this time is laughable.

May be you need to be reminded that OBJ was the president when GEJ's house was bombed or maybe you think GEJ could have ordered for a probe as VP if his boss UMYA was not positively disposed to the idea.[/quote]It is your idea of how police or SSS should carry out investigations that is very clearly laughable. So to you the SSS should maintain a queue of cases, solve one then move to the other.

No wonder you support mediocrity.

[quote author=na_so link=topic=536775.msg6991476#msg6991476 date=1287742704]However, I have asked you a very simple question, should the FG stop all investigations now becuase warri was not investigated? straight answers please.[/quote]Nope, the investigation should NOT stop!
However since he has come to the realization that this are criminal acts, equity dictates that he should order an investigation into the previous bomb blasts.
I do wonder why GEJ was not interested in investigating the people that bombed his own country home? Or maybe he does know.

phraoh:
How do u expect the SSS to know that he was infront of his house,moreova he chose the time for this weighty trial to make calls.
If this investigation is left unsolved and no culprits caught,its you people that will talk.Now something is being done when evil is perpetrated in Nigeria,and you people are still talking.Na wa for una sef.

I can't believe you wrote the above!
So the SSS cannot know that the court premises is not within the guy's compound or that where the boy was is a private residential place?
Hmmm, so once there is a weighty trial, nobody should make calls? How very inhuman and crass can you be.

marvix:
This is Nigeria my brother, what if the young boy was there to describe the suspects, do you even realise the weight of this investigation.

Someone may really be interested in knowing who and who the SSS have in custody, the investigation here still involves people the SSS may not know abt, the masterminds may be working on eliminating the direct accomplices of those in custody.

Who says a secondary school student can not be making calls describing the details of the suspects, the SSS may have felt compromised by his position and would need to fully debrief him check who actually he was talking to.

We want Nigeria to move forward yet we dont want people to their jobs.

The SSS is interested in solving and getting to the root of this matter, terrorists acts are not the same thing as armed robbery or even bank robbery, what more can I say?

My guy, you are sounding off as one that doesn't look beyond the obvious.

Anyone interested in details of those arraigned can get it from their lawyers or even the press conference by the same SSS.
Now the phone cal was being made while they were on their way back, to defend this act would mean that they can as well arrest anyone along their route that was making a phone call, as such a person could have been speaking to interested parties too.

We do want Nigeria to move forward, but definitely in the right direction. If you are backing your destination, moving forward is negative! What Nigeria needs is properly movement in the right direction - a time when rule of law prevails and human rights are respected.

Terrorist acts are not solved by gangster acts to arrest indiscriminately.

Hamid O:
LOL, una no go kill us. So hw much will 200,000 US dollars be in Zimbabwean dollars??

200,000.00 USD = 72,360,000 ZMD

Guys, me believe Mugabe can and would give Munya the 300,000 dollars. The only thing is, as Nigerians, we are thinking US Dollars when in actual fact Mugabe is talking about Zimbabwean Dollars.

300,000 Z$ = 1,000 US$

Big Up guys! It's been fun sharing this space with you all.

It's now so much merrier that Uti won! I love the spirit of Naija and I am proud to be a Nigerian. It changed from being a game for me, when Munya started nominating and dissing Nigeria. That I would never take.

Once more Big Up to everyone. Uti wins, Naija rules!

This is the story of the trapped 33 Nigerian Miners.


33 Nigerian Miners were trapped underground and the govt sent a capsule down to rescue them one after the other, but the rescue had to be called off as the trapped miners could not agree amongst themselves on who goes first. Zoning was suggested but they could not agree on which zone will go first. Eventually in a struggle to all board at the same time, the capsule was damaged leading to the call off.

Oh dear. Sorry it was almost becoming a nightmare.

In fact the real problem was that FEC awarded the capsule contract to Ibori and we are still awaiting delivery 3 months later.  There is a probe going on to unravel this and retrieve the award sum before we get to the issue of what formula to adopt for the rescue and which miner comes out first.

Meanwhile traditional rulers from the miners' towns are paying solidarity visits to the President to thank him for his efforts to rescue the miners.

And the First lady has just invited the wives of the Nigerian miners to Abuja for dinner at the Hilton! The first ladies from the 36 states will also be in attendance. All including the wives of the miners will wear the [i]"Goodluck for President" [/i]Ankara.

CNN reported early this morning that after 10 months underground all the 33 Nigerian miners have died and the Nigerian govt has declared 7 days of mourning during which period the Nigerian flag will be flown at half mast.

When I attempted to lower my flag to half mast, lo and behold I woke up. Then I realized it was a dream.

“Where was FIFA when government gave Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) N900 million for the South Africa World Cup? Where was FIFA when government was financing all NFF programmes? And where will NFF be without government? Does FIFA know that corporate bodies do not support sports or football in Nigeria? It is the government that fund the sport.

“Everybody knows who is behind all these problems, the same person who has controlled sports for 20 years with little to show for the government’s massive investment in sports,
particularly football. I’m sure the government knows what to do before one man single-handedly destroys what Nigeria has built for more than seven decades.”

Ayo, next time your friend, Dad or Uncle gives you money, make sure that you should always put a call to them about how to spend the money, where to buy things and even when to sleep. Marabout masquerading as eminence!

Getting money from government has nothing to do with interference or should Glo interfere with the running of football since they give a guaranteed 300Million yearly! This man is just looking for releveance should in case the FIFA ban stands and the government decides to appoint administrators or caretakers.

Okah supplied arms to mend that you have to understand.
Okah is a saboteur.
The Niger-delta struggle was fought by tompolo and co.
Okah is been used by Northern elements.
How can you belive aljazera an arab station.

You sure got me laughing out hysterically! So Okah is a saboteur to MEND because he supplied MEND arms You are as logical as someone in an asyllum.

Tompolo, Ateke et al, were just a bunch of bandits blowing up pipelines and engaging in oil bunkering until a smart alec organized them into MEND, gave them a voice though Jomo Gbomo and unleashed them onto the national consciousness as a rebel cult fighting a cause.
You can ask anybody within the Okrika axis how they viewed Ateke Tom before MEND came into the equation.

publisher:
As a legal practitioner,i would say that Okah has indirectly confessed to knowing about the crime, but lets see how it goes. However,Okah and most Nairalanders seem to have forgotten that the Nigerian government prompted Okah's arrest days before the bombing and were equally appalled when they got to know that SA authorities released him. How then will the same government want to co-opt the same Henry Okah into such a conspiracy days after the bombing In any case,this is Nigerian politics,lets see how it all plays out.

As a legal practitioner, you would only get your clients into jail if you continue with this kind of falsehood!
Henry Okah's house was raided on 30th September but he was not arrested. He was only arrested 2 days after the bomb blast on the basis that MEND was involved and that he has connections with MEND, even the charge sheet said this clearly. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-525121.0.html

NO amount of twisting facts would get nobody anywhere. You are always better off on public forums to stick to the known facts and then postulate on what could be or what you think it is, or even shed more light with facts. But never attempt to twist verifiable facts.

bombay:
Mend is runned and owned by tompolo they fought the government okah is just an arms dealer,so stop saying rubbish here.
You daft heads now reason this how can someone from south africa say rubbish and you belive him more than someone that has intels at his disposal telling you the truth.
Nigerians you cannot stop to amaze me with your i too know attitude.
What can i say we have too many internet baboons here.

bombay:
Kobojunkie

The people that formed have come out to say they did not carry out the bombing of abuja so why are you behaving so ignorant and silly.

How can you belive a faceless character that claims to be mend.

People like tompolo are telling you they did not perform the act but you do not want to belive.

You no wan wise.

Bombay, you seem on a mission to show so much ignorance on this MEND issue. You need not twist facts or known history just to be able to discredit Okah at this point in time.

Fact is MEND, is a coalition of militants groups in a loose coalition for the purpose of presenting a united front against government of the day.
MEND became recognised nationally and worldwide as an entity when Jomo Gbomo emails became a constant and his emails were correctly relaying what was going on, or what was going to happen.

If you claim that Okah was not linked or supported by MEND but was just a business man, how come MEND was the one that leaned on the FGN to release Okah? Or they did it for fun?

So are you by any means also trying to say that ALL units under MEND accepted the amnesty? And where did you get it that Tompolo was the main leader of MEND? If you imply this, then pray, tell me, why did the FGN have to reach out to others after Tompolo accepted the amnesty?

While most people here on NL are saying there is a lot of underground things going on, you apologist of GEJ are just running around like headless chickens trying to speak from all corners of your mouth rather than dispassionately analyzing the goings on. While I am not saying that GEJ is right or that Okah is right, I am however smart enough not to try and re-arrange history.

Beaf:
Stop talking rubbish. When did press agencies start doing forensics on emails they recieve, just to prove that an email did or didn't come from Jomo Gbomo? Are they police?
What a clown!
. . .And lastly, forget about my IQ, its on a scale your type can't fathom.

Obviously, you aren't even aware that educated to know that media outlets have to worry about their sources to ensure they do not get sued.

Beaf:
. . .Especially when they are thieves to boot. Maybe Akainzo thinks Ibori is Einstein.

An Einstein Ibori isn't, but a dullard he definitely aint either! And guess what, he was way smarter than Ribadu, as it is turning out. 


Well, judging by what you have reasoned out so far, your IQ level is not what I can fathom. It's way below what I thought was possible.

Tippy Top:
Who says dullards don't succeed in commerce?
I mean this the man has just proved he's a dullard by helping plan this atrocity what further evidence do you need again?

Commerce is not a pastime of dullards except you have a different definition for dullards than the one in the dictionary.
If you think buying and selling is just that simple, then, you have confirmed that you learnt commerce only by cramming to pass an exam not by knowing what your teacher/lecturer actually taught in class.

Beaf:
Anybody that has met Dokpesi one on one knows he is a very dull tool. I have met him several times.
Let no one sit somewhere and even attempt to ascribe intelligence to the man. A lot of our big men are nothing but glorified thugs and robbers with very low IQ's.

@Beaf, you are beginning to sound like a man not giving to deep thoughts. Dokpesi is a dullard yet he has succeeded in business more than the average Nigerian. Your problem is that most of you equate university or academic educations to intelligence, that in itself i=shows that you guys are educated illiterates.

Since you met him one on one, did you meet him as a business partner or a fellow CEO? I can guess, an an employee or employee of a company seeking business. Is it not so much an irony to you that you with all your high IQ would be employed or controlled by someone you ascribed a low IQ to? Where then is your own intelligence?

Beaf:
Give me your email address and I'll send you and email from YOU in a couple of minutes.
Easy peasy!

Beaf, sure you can send an email 'appearing' to come from my email address. But a savvy organizations like CNN, SaharaReporters, 234Next and co, sure know what to look for to detect that it is spam. Even me as can bust a masked email in less than 3 minutes. SO if those media organizations can go to air about Jomo Gbomo's claims, then they were sure it was the right email that sent them.

Tugbaski:
@Jabbok,

I dont recall saying they dealt with them directly, As far as am concerned,  based on the info,the text msg from the cell phone implicates dokpesi, they were not sending back and forth msg to Dokpesi,  it was among them selves. Ofcourse, no one with common sense will deal with them directly,  but those boy communicated btw themselves on sms,  and implecated Dok and IBB.

Now you are speaking from both sides of your mouth.
If you believe that neither Dokpesi nor IBB dealt with the boys directly, how then would the boys be able to identify their backers? How would they then be able to implicate someone they did not know of?

Hmm, I just sent an SMS to a friend now that Tugbaski would give me balance for the last robbery. Does that text make you guilty?

It's time to use our brains o.

Beaf:
You are funny! What makes you think Jonathan does not have greater courage than any General, his quietness?. . . I pity the way many Nigerians think, it is so shallow. I blame the agbero mentality that so many years of military rule has foisted on the country.

Beaf, you are indeed the funny one! No one is brave enough to stand up when there is possibility of explosions except he is sure there would be none.
Picture this, if the same bomb had gone off where a US President was making an address, he would have been whisked off pronto! That is what security is all about, ensure the safety of the President, not prove that he is a 'strong' man.

Me thinks, the continuous reading of falsehood in Nigerian papers coupled with too much Nollywood movies have somehow eroded the thinking ability of most Nigerians. Even an average hired killer is not communicated with in the open by common street level Nigerians, yet our government wants us to believe that with this kind of high stakes bombing IBB and his campaign organization would be exchanging direct texts with the planners!

Well, I await more, but till then, this is too much fiction masquerading as SuperStory.

Unfortunately, for him, his girlfriend’s birthday was approaching and he told me some story about having to go to Abuja for a meeting. He even made a show of pretending to call me from the airport and switching off his phone for an hour to suggest he was actually on the flight. Off course he almost had a fit when I walked into his girlfriend’s birthday dinner party later that evening. I walked in with my own date and even took pictures of the lovely couple as they both cut the birthday cake. He never called me again. And just incase he ever tries to make out like I was the one chasing him or that he got something out of it, I saved all our BB conversations. Two really can play that game!

So my advice to all the so called ‘ballers’ out there is simple. Don’t be deceived. Do not mistake the silence of a woman for foolishness. Just because we women sometimes choose to play along with your silly games does not mean we aren’t up to our own tricks. What men don’t understand is, if you are cheating on your wife or girlfriend, she is usually aware about your infidelity 95% of the time. She only chooses to stay with you because she is too in love with you to see past her own nose or she doesn’t think there is any better out there. But one thing is for sure, one day she will wake up and find a man worthy of her and will leave your rotten behind in a flash. Always remember the age old adage “what a man can do a woman can do better”. Believe me there is hardly another sentence in the world which carries more truth.

@All,

That is NOT Tinubu's logo. That is the logo of Lagos State!
And since the stadium belongs to Lagos State government, the logo was put on it.

@Missy,

It's a personal project on the evolution of jeans. I sought ladies comfortable in low-waist jean for the modeling and also to give research opinions on the jeans.

I am directing this mail directly to you, I want you to do an investigative journalism yourself so that you can confirm somethings.

I want to believe you are a Nigerian, now I'm going to give you an insight into Globacom premises so that you can know that this person is not lying.

Now go to 24 Saka Tinubu street, it is the building that shares a fence with NITEL office, on Saka Tinubu now take your time to observe how Globacom staffs go in and come out, and at the same time look at there disposition you will see that all Globacom staffs put around there neck a Green Strap.

.-.-, ,  police force of Nigeria so go upstairs and you will see for yourself whether what I've said is true or not.

Ghost74, Thanks for the invite to do this. I would have loved to do this  myself as I enjoy a fair challenge. Unfortunately, I am in the middle of a project now and I can't spare the time to go to Lagos on a weekday. However, I do promise, if I find myself in Lagos on a weekday, i would find this out.

ghost74:
On getting out kindly meet staffs that are going on lunch, at about 1 - 2 pm tell them that you are trying to gather information's from them, as a Nigerian Labor Congress officer

1) Any of there staffs that have a letter headed paper of Globacom for there appointment letter

2) If they have been confirmed after 5 yrs of working in Globacom

3) If they have proceeded on any training and if they have they should kindly tell you if they have a certificate for this training.

See when you get some information try to verify the information before you claim it as not true, please do this and then comeback to us.

Thanks

From the experience I've had working in big multinationals, I know for a fact that not everyone that works within their office premises is actually their staff. Thus I would not be surprised if those at the switch room or engineers are actually not Globacom staff but employees of another company or even sister company. Note that this is just an observation and not specifically on the Glo case.

ghost74:
Please how can you explain that Globacom does not have fuel to run Gen Set and as such there was a downtime that affected operations for hours, and this company has another sister company Conoil. Please can you explain that.

Also please can you explain how a company of the magnitude of Globacom have downtime for hours because the filter for the Generator has been clogged and request for filter has been on the desk of the COO for weeks without any response.

My friend you can't believe somethings that happen in tat organization.

Kindly go on investigative Journalism I am throwing out to you to do

On this one, I do not need to do an investigative journalism.
I can tell you categorically that two of my friends have contracts with Glo on maintenance/service of their Generators across the South-South and South-East. One has a contract to supply diesel and he sure is having a ball on it, while the other goes around changing the AVRs on the Gen sets.

On the above bolded parts, I would say, AMAZING! Even ordinary Nigerians with 20 - 25KVA generators know that the Gen Set suppliers are the ones to service the generators and then pass the bills across. Thus I would be very surprised that Globacom would be servicing their generators themselves!

Like I said earlier, the people I know in Glo do not paint this pathetic picture about the company. Also, given general knowledge of things, the accusations just don't add up. I concede that Glo might not be perfect but the exaggerations as contained on this thread are way too much.

kushe:
i know folks like this akainzo

piss off advise,just shut the freaking f up and take the analysing parts of your brain to the gym

and be damn too sure that i got the english language in a choke hold lest u think u are being called out by a slowpoke

u are sooooooooooooo annoying     

Kushe, you do not know people like me that have brains for analysis, you dream to know people like me; you wish you knew people like me and you pray to know people like me.

For your education, morons do speak English and do know grammar, so you are in good company with them.
Not to worry, you won't be he first to find people with intellect annoying, check the back of the classrooms, it's a constant common thread.

When you come to a forum, please come with your brains to share, learn, be educated and also share information. You would benefit much with these.

oyb:
you do not understand - so let me break it down for you


mr a works for a consulting firm. the oga needs mr a to master autocad 2011 in order to speed up the work process

he sends mr a to us at a cost of 1m for training

mr a returns from training and resigns in a week

he is very sorry, but he just got a job offer of x 4 his salary (due obviously to his new autocad certification)

this is a common occurence - which is why high value trainings are often accompanied by promotions - the signed commitment thing doesn't work

without the certificate (not the training) , mr a could not have gotten that job, but he would still have delivered the workflow improvements

This is what happens in everyday life, with all corporate entities all across the globe. Glo or any Nigerian company is no different.

oyb:
he sends mr a to us at a cost of 1m for training

what you fail to realise is that most training companies, especially the local ones  have direct ties to the MDs of organizations they are serving.

it is just for adenuga to say - kindly forward the certificates to my hr dept or i take my business elswhere

in any event , most of the time, certificates are never issued immediately after training, but are forwarded to hr to distribute among staff

Nice expose, what you are saying is that you actually work for an unethical training firm! Now I understand where your warped logic is coming from.

oyb:
now you are talking as if you are not a Nigerian - what does glo care about the labour minsitry or lawsuits? how many lawsuits do disgruntled workers ever bring to court? how does training prove that a company is 'fair and responsible'

did you read where i wrote the conoil workers are te only ones in the oil indust who are not part of pengassan/nupeng? what has the labour ministry done about that?

I am a Nigerian and I do know that Glo do care about the Labour Ministry and lawsuits, or are you implying they have no legal department?

that Conoil workers are not members of PENGASSAN is not the fault of the labour ministry but because of the workers themselves. They decided not to join or ensure that they are members. Lay the blame squarely where it is.

oyb:
its like this - a staff is sent on training which makes him more valuable and is a bonus to his cv. for all employes, training staff represents a risk, since the employees may choose to jump ship for a better place

the standard signing of undertaking does not work - as people can damn the consequences

so mike simply gets them the training to do his work, but shreds the evidence so they cannot tell etialat i am trained in so and so

get it now?

Now this explanation is quite ridiculous. The entity responsible for giving you the certificate is not Glo! Once Glo (or any company at that) has registered you for the training, the training organization holds you the responsibility of giving you the certificate, not the entity paying for the training. Or is it your parents or guardian that sponsored you in college that gets the certificate?

I get so somehow when folks try to distort common knowledge things for the sake of getting a company painted black. Glo might not be the best place to work for some folks, but I bet some other folks would be having a ball at the same Glo.

You also forgot that Glo itself would need those certificates in case of lawsuits or to even prove to the Labour Ministry that it is a fair and responsible company. So would they destroy such evidences because of possible staff turn over? Me don't think so.

First, I was expecting to see either a scanned copy or in its absence, the purported email.
I recognize that the scanned copy might not be too ideal, but the email itself with the names/email addresses blacked out would have shown the authenticity.

The question I ask myself is simple: What proves the authenticity or genuineness of this story? I would comment on the basis that it [b]might [/b]be genuine.

ghost74:
This is a company that looks like it is heading for the crumbs very soon, it's the worst organization that there can be and a perfect example of the true Nigeria

This is a company that does not have any laid down principle of operation, a company that does not even mind for there head office to be shut because they are owing PAYE TAX, a company that send it's staff on International activity without any remuneration.

This is a company where the technical staffs have to struggle for seats.

This is a company that does not think the life of a staff is of any importance.

A company that does not have any structure what so ever.

A company where rain water sips into the switch rooms

A company where this is a down time for hours because there is power outage in there main switch complex because they are owing the company responsible for oversight functions of the power.

This is a company that has refused to provide to the up keep of the company.

This is a company where staff training is not of any importance and when the staffs are trained they ask the vendor company to shred the certificate, so that the technical staffs don't have any proof of training.

A company that claims to perform KPI for staffs without any initial goal set for staffs.

This is a company that owes all it contractors for months and has mandated that any company that is interested in doing business with them must have an account with ETB.

This is just to mention but a few.

MY dear, if all this you posted above are believed, you must assume most people are dunces and believe anything written. 

So you want us to believe that Glo send staff for training and then tells the training company to shred the certificate! So they print it and then shred it? What a laff.

On the KPIs, you can only be caught with that once - the first time! If this happens to you, then the staff must ensure there was a discussion on what the KPI for the new year should be, otherwise then that staff probably shouldn't have been employed.

Until there exists laws in Nigeria that prevents corporate entities from leveraging on their strength, Glo can leverage on contractors to have accounts with ETB. Its what every corporate organisation does. I fyou do asset finance from the banks, you MUST use their in-house insurance.

By the way, I aint a Glo employee or contractor.
