mocey: I found this on a Facebook page and I was suspended from commenting, Ijaws are constantly brainwashing their people and they suspend you when you try to educate them, Ijaws can be sued for slave trade if they keep on mouthing off, instead of burying their head in shame they are proud of allowing slaves to be sold through the sea where they live and look at their lives today? The people they helped to sell are far better than them, shame,ijaws use to be the gatemen,collecting toll
Did you read the P.S. caveat in screen shot at all?
Read the P.S. again instead of saying that Ijaws can be sued for the FB posts.
If you insist, the Aros too will have to be sued for selling Ibo slaves (brought from the Ibo interior) to the Ijaws in Bonny who then sold them as middlemen to the whites.
Let the past stay in the past, but learn from the past so that there won't be a repeat of past errors!
SATANICALLY666: Angry Nigerians "Ibos" have taken to Twitter to blast Abolore over his insensitive reply to Chinelo's tweet, asking Nigerians to pray for her.
Mr Abolore, who mistook her tweet for clout chasing, sarcastically asked 'are you dead now?'.. It sounded funny at the time as other 'thomases' made fun of it.
However, that sarcasm became his tragedy. Chinelo was right after all. And to make matters worse, she was declared dead few hours later. And his comic reply immediately assumed a tragic meaning. [s]Mr Abolore, a comedian hours ago, is now a ruthless psychopath.[/s]
His psychopathic reply has been gathering negative reactions since the sad news broke out, with many calling for his arrest. Others want him sacked. Some even went as far as printing and circulating his obituary picture.
First off...
Those viciously attacking the dude in the attached Tweets are also involved in a worse, criminal form of hate speech, and incidentally some of them are well-known tribal bigots on and off NL. Some of them regularly taunt and openly make fun of dead Hausa/Northern folks in conflict areas of the North, and openly abuse dead gallant Nigerian soldiers who fell while fighting against terrorists on NL.
I remember how these same tribal bigots would also come on NL and other social media platforms to taunt the Middle Beltans, and especially Tiv or Benue folks whenever they lose their lives due to attacks from rogue herdsmen. They insultingly make references to the Nigerian Civil War for attacking other ethnicities, and they don't hide it! This behavior is a complete lack of SELF-AWARENESS and self-love leading to guilt-tripping others! Period.
NOTE: My sincere condolences go to the families of all those who have lost their lives and got injured in those despicable terror attacks in Kaduna and elsewhere.
Thanks to the Nigerian security agencies for disrupting some terror cells and foiling other deadly terror attacks that would have taken place. These Kaduna terror incidents from those bastards are a few of those that slipped through.
Airforce jets, ISR platforms, and Special Forces MUST now be used for the final onslaught to rain bombs, missiles and bullets at the SAME time on the terrorist hideouts in the forests. Nobody should be spared or brought into any silly de-radicalisation program!
Local citizens in Kaduna and Zamfara (Senator Shehu Sani told Seun Okinbaloye on Channels TV yesterday that the citizens know who the criminal terrorists are) must engage with the security agencies for the final flush out of the criminals.
abdulazeez1002: It depends on your personality and situation.
If you want reliability than buy something Japanese. Toyota, Honda, etc. They are all legendary for reliability. South Korean brands are also pretty good, so Kia and Hyundai are also great choices. You can also buy the luxury counterparts of these brands. Toyota = Lexus, Honda = Acura, Volkswagen = Audi, Hyundai = Hyundai Genesis.
If you want a sport-car than buy a car off of the Audi RS/S line, or a Mercedes AMG. BMW is also a good choice. However, Mercedes and BMW and notoriously not reliable.
If you are an environmentalist or if you want to save money on gas buy a hybrid vehicle. The Toyota Prius is a good choice, or you can buy a hybrid model of a popular car, like the Honda Accord Hybrid. They all get really good milage, with great reliability. However, they are very slow at accelerating.
If you have a family buy an SUV or a minivan. A Toyota Highlander/4Runner or a Honda CR-V/Pilot are good choices. Reliable SUVS the Toyota and Honda is. A Toyota Sienna or a Honda Odyssey are also good minivans. I would also recommend taking a look at Hyundai, as they have a nice SUV; the Hyundai Sante Fe.
For me, i enjoy my Hyundai Sonata. A nice, reliable sedan that is packed full of features and technology.
Again, it all depends on your situation and personality.
carreport: Our studies have revealed that the recent surge in car theft is due to the high exchange rate between the Naira and the Dollar and the dwindling purchasing power has made importation of car very expensive and above the reach of middle income earners.
Statistics has shown that 85%-90% of stolen vehicles in Nigeria and 60% of vehicles stolen in neighbouring African countries are re-sold here in Nigeria either wholly(Direct Belgium or as Tokumbo) or in parts, which implies that Nigeria is a lucrative Market for stolen cars. Some unscrupulous Car dealers are now in the habit of mixing stolen cars with imported cars and selling them off to unsuspecting customers.
This is why we are encouraging people to report their stolen cars so we do upload it to our data base (ITS ABSOLUTELY FREE) and make sure the public is notified that the car they wish to purchase is stolen. This will, on the long run discourage car theft if there is no market to sell it.
WHO WE ARE carreport.com.ng is a not for profit community service outfit which seeks to eliminate, eradicate or reduce to the barest minimum the ability of people to sell stolen vehicles here in Nigeria.
carreport.com.ng is currently populating its database with records of stolen vehicles in Nigeria. We are calling on members of the public who have had their car or a friend or a relations car stolen to visit our site www.carreport.com.ng and document it electronically so as to make it difficult to re-sell such cars here in Nigeria. IT’S ABSOLUTELY FREE
When you give a child access to a web enabled phone with little or no supervision you have already lost that child to the jungle called the internet and social media with 7 billion influencers influencing your child daily positively and majorly negatively.
I also marvel when i visit friends and see that their kids who are not even 8 years old have unfettered and unsupervised access to everything on the DARK WORLD WIDE WEB.
In London, I did not have my first phone or home computer until age 32 and the heavens did not fall. Kids use enough computer and supervised internet access at school so they can do without it at home or if they must use it at home, i will so rig the computer or phone with monitoring such that I am aware of any dodgy website they visit before they say jack robinson.
Me wey be say I dey track my then 14 year old sons posts on his Facebook account and I sharply correct him when he and his friends make unacceptable posts online and when he tries to deny it, I ask him if he wants me to tell him the date, time and exact content he posted and he then backs out from his denials.
Although left to me, he would not be on Facebook even at 14 years old and I was in away in Nigeria on a business trip and my ex wife allowed him a Facebook account in my absence.
Even a lot of adults can not handle some of the "stuff" they see / read on the internet / social media talk less of a teenage or pre-teenage child and this is why i marvel when i see black parents in the UK allow their very young children (less than 10 years old) to have the same access that adults have to all the content on the dirty world wide web when even adults are struggling to cope with / exorcise themselves of some of the sordid nastiness on the internet / social media.
Imagine allowing a child unsupervised access to twitter where people post any and everything in "broad daylight" including pornography and twitter turns a blind eye !!!!
Well said! I like the fact that you made reference to the 25 years that it takes for the human brain to fully mature... That's key in understanding how to raise children right into adulthood.
I first read that info too in a Newsweek magazine about 20 years ago and it was based on brain scan research on teenagers and why they engage in anti-social acts (due to the fact that nerve endings of the pre-frontal cortex which deals with social behaviour are not fully developed).
KanwuliaExtra: In the West, it is a whole different story. You hear of parents being arrested for hitting their minor children for misbehaving.
How will you handle the incident?
True story of a Nigerian family in my neighborhood.
Case scenario: A mother hits her 15 y/o child and she tackles her down to the floor like a heavy-weight champion. Daddy intervenes and beats the crap out of the 15 y/o daughter.
Daughter calls police and have parents arrested. Father is charged with child-battery and BANNED from coming to the house till the daughter leaves the house at 18 years old.
Fast forward: Daughter is now 20 years old and lives alone with no contact with her parents. When she graduated from high school, her parents did not attend! They practically disowned her and gave her to the state to take care of.
Any child that starts to misjive or call the police within the Nigerian Diaspora community can simply be shipped off to a standard or military boarding school in Africa for better brain formating... Saves a lot of time and stress.
Skype and video calls can then serve as a means of trans-Atlantic contact between the parents and child till further notice. Period.
Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, PH, Kano and Abuja should be at alert.
There are terrorist sleeper cells on ground like they did in the past during the GEJ Presidency.
Lagos and Abuja (Banex Plaza) were attacked on the same day in 2014 by organised terrorist attacks and female suicide bombers struck at Folawiyo Tank Farm, Apapa on the same day, led by BH, and Shekau released a video in Hausa but translated into English stating that he was the one that sent the 2 female suicide bombers to Lagos... and truly 2 females in hijab were involved in the car explosions at Folawiyo Tank Farm.
Security agents and people must be at alert and report any suspicious movements to the security agents and governments.
This is organised violence and they must be brought to justice.
dachiwater: Oba Saheed Elegushi of Ikateland on Friday, married a second wife in a Nikkai ceremony which took place in Kano state.Oba Saheed Elegushi who is one of the richest, finest and youngest royal fathers who reigns over the vast Ikateland in Lagos Island, married Hadiza Tanko as his second wife. It was gathered that Hadiza Tanko, is the younger sibling of Salihu Tanko Yakasai, the Special Adviser to the Kano State Governor, Alhaji Dr Umaru Ganduje. Hadiza is also said to be a ‘Business Development Manager’ at an oil and gas firm.
The first wife of the Lagos monarch is none other than the super stylish and gorgeous “Olori Sekinat Aramide Elegushi nee Ipaye. Oba Saheed and his delectable Olori have been married for 16 years. They are blessed with 3 beautiful daughters. Many had speculated over the years about whether the Elegushi would marry more than one wife as tradition stipulates or remain loyal to Olori Sekinat Aramide, who he had met when they both were still at the University years back.
Darkpal: From the combat zone in northern Syria comes news of the deployment of a new Russian electronic jamming system which can reportedly blind radar, disrupt electronic guidance systems, and interfere with satellite imagery as well.
This latest revelation follows the earlier report of the Russian cruiser mounted S-300 missile defense system deployed in the shore of Latakia. Both of these systems amount to what NATO’s supreme commander General Philip Breedlove described as the Russian A2/AD (anti-access/area denial) bubble in Syria, writes OSNet Daily.
As a result, NATO is effectively blinded inside a bubble of 600 km in diameter centered on the Russian base at Latakia, reports, Thierry Meyssan from Damascus.
Russian Secret Weapon Deployed in Syria
The technology in question seems similar to the KRET Richag-AV system, although it apparently functions on a larger scale. A tactical version of this system was presented to journalists in April 2015. As Sputnik reported then:
“The Richag-AV system, mounted on the Mi-8MTPR1 (a variant of the Mi-8MTB5-1 helicopter) is said to have no global equivalent. Its electronic countermeasures system is designed to jam radar, sonar and other detection systems in the aims of defending aircraft, helicopters, drones, ground and naval forces against air-to-air and surface-to-air defense systems within a radius of several hundred kilometers. It can be mounted on units from any branch of the armed forces, including helicopters and airplanes, as well as ground and ship-based forces. The Mi8-MTPR1-based Richag-AV platform, using multi-beam antenna arrays with DRFM technology, is designed to actively jam and thus ‘blind’ radar systems in order to defend against radio-electronic guided weapons systems. In a combat situation, the system would operate as part of an aviation shock attack group aimed at breaking through virtually any defense system, blinding everything up to and including the US MIM-104 ‘Patriot’ anti-aircraft missile system.”
NATO supreme commander and US Air Force General Philip Breedlove was probably talking about this new KRET system when he addressed the German Marshall Fund on Monday, September 28. Here Breedlove had warned that Russia was creating an “A2/AD bubble” over the Syrian coast, and the eastern Mediterranean. A2/AD is the abbreviation for anti-access and area denial. Breedlove pointed out that Russia has already established such bubbles over the Baltic Sea at the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, and also over the Crimea and the Black Sea.
‘While Russia’s stated goal in moving into Syria is to fight the Islamic State, NATO’s top commander believes Russia’s new presence includes the first pieces of an intricate layer of defensive systems deployed to hinder U.S. and coalition operations in the region. “As we see the very capable air defense [systems] beginning to show up in Syria, we’re a little worried about another A2/AD bubble being created in the eastern Mediterranean,” said Breedlove. During the early stages of warfare, A2/AD could have been a moat around a castle, or spikes dug into the ground—anything to keep the enemy off a certain swathe of territory. In the 21st century, however, A2/AD is a combination of systems such as surface-to-air missile batteries and anti-ship missiles deployed to prevent forces from entering or traversing a certain area—from land, air or sea. According to Breedlove, the introduction of an A2/AD bubble in Syria would be Russia’s third denial zone around Europe. The first and oldest he said, was in the Baltics where the Russian naval base in Kaliningrad has robust anti-air capabilities. The second zone —originating from Crimea — covers the Black Sea. “Russia has developed a very strong A2/AD capability in the Black Sea,” said Breedlove. “Essentially their [anti-ship] cruise missiles range the entire Black Sea, and their air defense missiles range about 40 to 50 percent of the Black Sea.”
In addition, the Russian military had provided a demonstration of their ability to blind even the sophisticated Aegis phased array radar, which is part of the equipment of modern US cruisers and destroyers. This incident came during the Crimean crisis of spring 2014, when the US sent a destroyer into the Black Sea. This ship was repeatedly buzzed up by a Russian Sukhoi-24 jet fighter, which was able to cripple the radar guidance the systems of the vessel. Here is a summary of the incident from Live Leak: “The US destroyer USS Donald Cook, equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles entered the neutral waters of the Black Sea on April 10, 2014. The purpose was a demonstration of force and intimidation in connection with the position of Russia in Ukraine and Crimea. The appearance of American warships in these waters is in contradiction of the Montreux Convention about the nature and duration of stay in the Black Sea by the military ships of countries not washed by this sea. In response, Russia sent an unarmed bomber Su- 24 to fly around the U.S. destroyer. However, experts say that this plane was equipped with the latest Russian electronic warfare complex. According to this version, Aegis spotted from afar the approaching aircraft, and sounded alarm. Everything went normally, and the American radars calculated the speed of the approaching target. But suddenly all the screens went blank. Aegis was not working any more, and the rockets could not get target information. Meanwhile, Su-24 flew over the deck of the destroyer, did battle turn and simulated a missile attack on the target. Then it turned and repeated the maneuver. And did so 12 times.” SOURCE: http://in.sputniknews.com/world/20151029/1016211289/russian-jamming-system-syria-nato.html

thinkmoney: Ok...you write well. The suggestion in my last paragraph was borne out of a suspicion that you wanted to argue to support a cause. The point I was making in that my piece, is that lagos as always been lagos. The central attraction of the country because of points I stated. It has always been big and relatively prosperous. Put in context, I never "absolutely" indicated that the whole of lagos was the federal capital. If you had asked anybody then were the capital was, the reply you most probably have gotten is lagos. Not lagos island or Marina. To settle the issue of the generation I belong too. If you are well above forty, then your generation is like a step ahead of mine. Have a satisfying weekend. I will look out for you here in the future. U have impressed me in a way.
Non-verbal online communication is an art and requires great skill to avoid being misinterpreted.
This is why using emoticons helps to minimise these issues in online convos, just like face-to-face verbal convo reduces miscommunication because you can get to see the body language, facial cues, and hear the voice tones of the other person.
Just a quick one...
Eko or Eko Island (Lagos Island) is called "Lagos" for short, just like Bonny Island is called "Bonny" for short.
This is the reason why a person who is based in or lives in Ikeja, Magodo G.R.A, Ikorodu or Ibeju-Lekki would tell another person in Yoruba that s/he is going to Eko (i.e., Lagos Island or "Lagos" for short). To the newcomer or uninitiated who isn't familiar with Lagos State's history, s/he would say, "but Ikeja, Lekki, Epe, Ikorodu are in Lagos State, so why are you saying you are going to Eko (Lagos) again?" Lol.
The Yorubas have a CLEAR distinction between "Ipinle Eko" (Lagos State) and "Eko" (Lagos Island).
Those tapes cost about N500.00 each, which client cannot afford it?
Point is, some if not most don't pay attention to detail.
I have spent tens of thousands of naira on masking tape because I want a perfect finish and because I am using 2 colors.
I had arguments with painters because they wanted to create perfect lines without the tapes and I said it is not possible, they said it will mean double work, I said that is what I want, a straight line and a perfect finish.
Initially I used Abro masking tape, but I had to switch to a better tape made by Tesa
@Fegeitok, Wow! That's an awesome video.
I learned some painting specifics there. Thanks for the deep insights on the creative use of masking tapes which never occured to me.
Man102: Graphic Photo Of How Gunmen Murdered Dora Akunyili's Husband In Anambra | #IgbereTV
Igbere TV has been furnished with graphic picture of how yet-to-be gunmen killed Dr. Chike Akunyili in Anambra State.
According to report, Mr Akunyili was killed at Umuoji in Idemili North LGA of Anambra State on Tuesday evening.
Though details of the incident are still sketchy, a source close to the family said the deceased was still at the University of Nigeria Nsukka Alumni Association (UNAA) where the late Dora was honoured some hours before he was killed.
MOEX... and local bargain hunters. We'll see how far they can all go until things turn south on the local financial markets.
My major concern is with the global inflation that has hit many countries and how folks will wade through the higher costs of living never seen before now.

kollinz1234: the greatest threat to world Peace is any nation who doesn't want to hear the voice of it's people (democracy); the country which wants to tell a sovereign nation what to do and what not to do; the country which has preference for the creation of weapons of mass destruction rather than logic and brotherly love; a country that bombs, shells a children's hospital, a country that is sending it's army to a senseless war. Russia is a threat to world Peace, and it won't be long before they become another Nazi Germany whom the rest of the world will cripple
Hopefully this move would be to the benefit of Lagos State (as a major African Tech hub) and Nigeria as a whole. STEM and innovation are the keys needed to leapfrog into the 4th Industrial Revolution.
thinkmoney: Your points are correct and mine too (are even more) correct. [s]Its mischievous of you to have dismissed them.[/s] I don't know your age so I won't be able to put you in a age group as you have ignorantly placed me. Lagos state saw and attracted tremendous developments because of its role as the capital for a long time. The third mainland and Carter bridges that was built to connect lagos island and the mainland was one of the most daring and biggest project Nigeria government has ever undertaken. Arguably, no single project in lagos has ever come close. It was also because of its position that it was made the main port city. This factor too contributed immensely to its development. Another factor that placed lagos in a privileged position compared to other states was that all the embassies, liaison offices and most of the headquarters of big firms were situated in lagos. All this factors sped up development in lagos. Lagos has from the 1900 been the special region of Nigeria. No single person influenced development in lagos in a relatively significant way, except maybe Lord Lugard. [s]Don't revisit history please. And eschew unproductive sentiments[/s]
@Thinkmoney,
First off, your first and last paragraphs here are clearly contradictory and you SEEM to come off as not wanting to take constructive corrections when YOU are partially wrong. This is the main REASON why I initially figured you belonged to a younger age.
Decades back when many foreigners such as Ghanains, Americans, Jamaicans, Indians, etc, lived and worked in Nigerian Primary Schools, High Schools and public Universities (due to the strong Nigerian currency and oil boom), I attended cosmopolitan schools in Nigeria where we were taught history in class! But as of today, history classes have stopped and the younger generation are not motivated to read history which is very important for taking advantage of investment opportunities because history moves in cyclical patterns.
NOTE: I also agreed with you that the FG (with loans or multinational partnerships) built infrastructure in Lagos, but I also added in my post that the FG also built roads and other infrastructure in most States in Nigeria (e.g., the ongoing 2nd Niger Bridge linking Asaba with Onitsha).
You wrote in your first post that I'm CORRECT, so why are you contradicting yourself here again.
If YOU observe carefully, I cancelled ONLY the part of your posts that needed to be constructively corrected (so as to educate everyone here).
I don't engage in sentiments or historical revisionism and this is the reason why I had to give an accurate step-by-step historical perspective on the difference(s) between Lagos Island (the former capital of Nigeria from 1914 for 77 years) and Lagos State was created in May 1967. I also have Lagos State (specifically Lagos Island) ancestral roots, so my FACTS are right!
I've been a veteran member of Nland since 2005 (17 years ago) with an older account and you will never find me engaging in stupid propaganda here. It's unproductive.
Go back and read your original post again. You will see that you spoke in "absolute terms" by saying that "Lagos State was the capital and the FG built it." But I corrected you by saying the administrative capital was Lagos Island, NOT Lagos State. I had no intent to emasculate you here.
thinkmoney: Tinubu no doubt played his part in lagos. [s]But, lagos has been lagos before Tinubu. It was the capital of nigeria for over 20years. The federal government built it.[/s] We can even agree that all the governors after Tinubu have done way more better than him
You the younger generation don't know or read up on simple Nigerian history. Stop posting false info here!
To be clear, it is Lagos Island that was the administrative capital of Nigeria from 1914 to 1991 for 77 years.
Lagos State was NOT the capital of Nigeria.
General Yakubu Gowon created 12 states for the indigenes on May 27, 1967! Lagos State was created exclusively for the indigenes in 1967.
Unknown to you and some others, over 90% of the land in Lagos State of today was in 1967 carved out of the Old Western Region (led by Chief Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN of the Action Group Party) which used cocoa and tax revenues, etc, to develop the infrastructure and industrial estates in areas such as Ikeja, Iganmu, Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Badagry, Ilupeju, Isolo, Ojo, Amuwo Odofin, etc. Only Lagos Island was NOT under Awolowo's government.
Other states have Federal roads and buildings so Lagos State is not the only one with Federal infrastructure.
sukkot: that place is at the edge. its about to tip over. i wouldnt want to be in the usa when it all explodes. its a new world order that is being created and america is being edged out of it. crazy but interesting yet tough times
Absolutely @Sukkot. There are Americans of different ethnicities who are fed up and already talking of moving out to other countries since the global lockdowns started. The videos are on YouTube.
Many U.S.-based analysts have also talked about how fragile the U.S. dollar is and this proxy war with Russia over Ukraine is an opportunity to deflect attention from the localised economic headwinds stemming from being the biggest debtor on Earth! 30 trillion USD of debt which American tax payers will have to pay back on money borrowed to prosecute wars in foreign lands and more.
Drenimarcus: This event made me realize that Nairaland is full of emotional Nigerians. They depend on MSM for their news and will gulp down anything MSM says. Gas is up 10% since Putin said rubles is now the main currency for their export. EU will feel the effect in coming days and Dollar soon.
