₦airaland Forum

Too dumbfounded for now.

@ OP, Thanks for sharing this event and I strongly believed that while we help as much as we can, we still need to bring govt. attention to the plight of the forgotten ones. I strongly agreed with "Alusi Okija" idea.

@ Kingsilly and Wale08. Nice one.. some pple just open mouth without comprehending d writings.

@ davidylan,
Thanks 4 shedding more lights on your contribution from other tread about living on a budget for International students in USA.

Very mis informed post indeed by heroes1983. 
Information is Power; let’s garner it for our advantages.

I have nieces and nephew who are studying here in the states with Scholarship through the US embassy both from Lagos and Abuja offices. Go to their educational dept, they offer free lectures as well, believed on Tues. nd Thurs.  USA-Aid

Nice one from Aganga. 

@ faithin9ja and wallie,  U're right in shedding light to the unknown.

Kunle - Real Talk.

The reality on the ground for our people is different. How can we expect someone earning 30,000 naira per month to save up and buy a car of N2,000,000.

Impossible.

The gap between government legislation and our people is reality. We live in it, while they peer at it behind fortified windows, walls and new spec cars.

True talk.

@ Sienna and Fhemmy, what  u guys are advocating for is definitely right. I also believed that Kunle is saying no difference as far as he sells his cars. the question is are we in this biz for a better tomorrow or just to get along?

As for me, I have never and will never sell a care without air-bag to a client despite its cover-ups.  So many deaths on our roads that could have been prevented if the car-airbag is present.   I'm in it for the money but my conscience will not let me sell a defective cars as others do.

Nice write-up from the blog-spot. 
In as much as the subsidy removal will favour Nigerians in the long run, other avenue should be exploited first and then phased removal approach.

>>  We have become a very religious country, to the point of sheer laziness. We now believe in God for everything. This has been the focus of most of my posts.  I accept your handshake. Even brothers fight.
First, thank you for accepting we are entitle to our views. You're also entitled to yours. I've no beef with tithes and offerings. In fact, I steer away from such arguments as best as I can. Do I believe in tithes? NO. Does it matter? Well, would paying or not paying tithes earn one salvation?

1 Corinthians ,
>>> 11) My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas[b]”; still another, “I follow Christ.”
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?

Romans 14
Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. 4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.


I don't believe God would give me something in order to throw it to the wind. If one suspects a pastor is stealing or eating his tithes, he has every right to question the pastor,  God didn't make us fools. How can you feed wrong? And ask God to judge? That pastor go fat wella o,

It's also amazing how most Nigerians would run to the Europe and America whose economies are 'crashing' now,  don't deceive yourself. I suspect if I got you a visa, you'd be on that pulpit next Sunday testifying to God.

Remain Blessed.  We need to wake up to REALITIES of LIFE,   Lack of knowledge have blinded us inwardly.

It's time we access ourselves individually and stop follow follow for Grand Name sake, I belong here or there.

Sienna.

chaircover and ftmom have outlined most of the encumbrances.

Due to the outlines, diasporaly, it's minimized.

@ Sir Fhemmmy, 9ja is where to spoil the Danshiki (Royal Jacket), especially during festive period with excuses that I miss my peeps to celebrate with.

helpee:
The fact still remains that oyedepo should not be the centre of this topic but boko haram. That why I love americans. They know how to bury their hatchet when fighting a common enemy. During sept 11 anybody that curse al_queda will receive a resounding amen even if he is a criminal. All the energy that most of us are directing against oyedepo shud av been directed against boko haram. Agreed. He waited till his church is affected before talking but be sincere wit urself, how many of u wake up to curse a thief until the thief personally rob u. It is normal. Maybe by the time boko haram kill one of your people and u start cursing them we too will be waiting at the corner to condem u.

,  US where you live owe 14 Trillion dollars to banks and other institutions yet it hadn't stop them paying needing people social security benefits.

Pls. do not compare and contrast.  The SS payments have a separate income account that was invested separately and the current young workers are still contributing to the fund, without a guarantee that it will be there in the future when in it's supposed to be distributed.   

Manny is right,   re-inforce ur base first b4 govt. welfare program.

FYI. Our GPs Sat Nav for Nigeria has over 10000 auto repair points all along the highways in Nigeria. Siddon there.

I Like that. Pls. tell them.

Try and understand the chapter/verses very well b4 running to conclusion.   

Remember Romans 2

Nice one, I wish i had pix of mine from start to finish. it still amazes me that building a house is unending job. I thought I completed mine b4, only to find out that the Water tank capacity need to be increased due to usage and power to pump from borehole to tank.

Jarus, I wish you more (cement) to ur joints.

It's better to roof ur house asap with ur materials handy but delay the ceilings due to abnormalies that occurs from d roofing.

Nice Q from op and nice answers from peps.  It does make my morning. 

I love the reply of ,

My bros no mind them.Simply buy a fowl and when it starts urinating, thats the ideal time to roof your house.Advice free.

@ Fhemmy,  I understand ur concern about the VIN check.  Here in NJ / NYC, we have dealers who ran the vin and tamper with the odometer to bring it down a bit more to what the VIN check reported last.   

I ran a MDX vin recently and what was reported there is totally not corresponding to what Acura have in their database -  and always oil change / tune-ups at the dealer.  VIN is good to check reported cases and not necessarily the TRUE mileage.

Have we noticed that most of our road accident with head on collisions have no Air-Bag deployed at accident time?  Bag-less SRS or

HBD to U and more blessings to ur endeavors.

I'm rejoicing today also and I declare ,

It only shows how intolerable we are in the society.   Until we begin to behave in a more civilised forum, I see no hope for us all.  I still believed and hope so that things are getting better, just by thinking it and formulating the policies alone is better than previous govts. 

Yes, we could be better than this, but we are not worse than previous govt.

PointB:
,  If he thinks he has good reason for neglecting those bad roads, doesn't common sense tell him that FG has equally good reason for not throwing money and resources at the Airport Road and Apapa-Oshodi road. What is good for the goose, is good for the gander. Fashola should do his jobt, rather distracting Lagosians by screaming - FG! State roads in Lagos are terribly bad, Fashola should fix them!

Thank You. 

Was so dissapointed after coming home to Ayobi in August. I believed that the contract awarded will have yielded some physical result.  L/G supporters may say d contract have been awarded and it will take time b4 full implementation, and I can humbly reply that same goes for federal  roads.  Let Lagos Govt. fix it's inner roads first b4 complaining of federal roads in d sate.

Word for thought; if you think insulting someone higher than you, a president or someone who holds higher office 20million better than you make you smarter, think AGAIN! On the contrary, it make you look foolish, and one will think Nigeria and Nigerians who are known for respect will give respect to whom it's due unto will lead by example, yet it's people like you and your cohorts above who give Nigerians bad name. It's only on NL that I have seen people carelessly using cuss words to associate with a president. People dislike Obama, they call him weak, clueless etc but I've never heard someone call him a re/tard and it's like. Well I guess it's what the forum is and it attracts its like, hey what can I say?

Well said.   It's only on NL we abuse and abuse those above us. It's okay to agree on disagreement.  Charity begins at home.

Life, Life Life, what is d meaning of this life - sometimes.
