took this with my canon vixia hg 20 like 2-3 months ago.

Considering my lifestyle, N20,000 would be enough. I don draw line between myself and my extended family members. I also keep a low profile. Also, my immediate family members also maintain a peaceful and quiet profile. What with UTC bread, togolese beans, garri ijebu, moin moin, ogi, akara, fufu, amala, egusi, boiled yam, plantain, efo, dundun, blue band, indomie noodles, semovita, mangoes, oranges, agbalumo, baba dudu, for food; local sponge, anchor toothbrush, ose dudu,macleans toothpaste for hygiene (no need for "toilet roll" when water still plenty); hurricane lamp and torch light, kilit insecticide and otapiapia (PHCN); N500 polyester shirts for extra clothing; I would still have extra change for danfo runs. Concerning gifts, my folks would not even request for that from me so as not to put me under pressure. Besides, I probably would have been sending them stuff and helping them get stuff beforehand. But I would still bring something to surprise them.
Do not be surprised, I have been called "Baba Ijebu" several times and we are Ijebu.

Shuo?
I saw an article, and i posted it!
Pls nobody should insult me henceforth.
If you are not comfortable with this topic, enter plane and report me to obama!
Rubbish!

abeg next time dont just post without thinking of possible consequences, remember some people have no access to computers, not to talk of the internet; some do not even have hands to type;

some have internet but cannot browse (PHCN), some can browse but have no internet (inmates at kirikiri maximum prison for instance), we have internet, and we can browse, glory be to God amen! oya s'ope

manny4life:
The day people like @OP stop carrying false news, perhaps, maybe perhaps he would begin to experience reality. Congress does not reserve the right to shut down the internet, because the internet does not pose any threat to National security. However I believe the news OP was trying to pass along is that congress wants to pass a bill to give more oversight power to the White House to moniter internet access, obviously this was really important after hackers attacked the several elctronic sytems including the grid system, and several U.S. Govt websites including Dept of State and if am correct Dept of Defense. Besides if I am correct, this was a bi-partisan agreement between both parties.

abeg, thank you. it is like there are many suckers here on nairaland who do not bother to validate any story they come across and end up making false accusations.

v3nom4eva:
O ba ma try e, wa waa alright!

I propose a "rotten tomatoes" section/thread for threads like this where Nairalanders can vote for the banishment of posters like B-Omokaro for a period of time .

charcoal calling kettle black! what is your user name?

no1madman:
poster is on crack.

It is not enough to come here and express disgust. What are we as individuals and communities doing to tackle the epileptic power generation, distribution, transmission and supply quagmire without waiting for "government" intervention?

On Tuesday at my University I attended an Industrial Strength Bioseminar and Networking Lunch with the CEO of Sapphire Energy. The company produces crude oil from algae and research is going on now to improve yield and quality(light and sweet crude). The Saudis are also interested in crude oil from algae and the sooner we wake up the better for us. A boeing jet has been flown with this fuel from algae, likewise a toyota prius was "converted" into a toyota algaeus and driven across the US and back. If you are wondering how this is possible, take note that crude oil/fossil fuel iss derived from fossilized algae.

Please those who love naija should not hesitate to protest against this show of stupidity. Where will the nuclear waste be dumped? Have they discovered a way to reduce the half-life of uranium by a thousand-fold? Is uranium going to be imported from Niger? Once upon a time, the excuse used to be that there was low water level at kainji dam, then the natural gas turbines were introduced and the excuse evolved to that of vandalization and price wars and debt settlements. What about wind energy? What about energy from ocean waves?What about solar energy? Is there any green project or endeavor from this regime? What have those of us outside the corridors of power done to show that we do not need to wait for the rulers to get things done?

I love DIY (Do-It Yourself) and I'm ashamed of myself for forgetting/abandoning the stuff I did as a kid, building and repairing toys and gadgets from scratch and getting devices to work and better too after implementing various modifications and shortcuts from scratch. I got even more mortified after reading about the exploits of William Kwamkwamba:

Everyman must work out his salvation!

i did read the posts and they look like speculations. i also know that not all the floodlights went off and the question is the timing. the intention of the lagos state government to make use of fireworks was also announced to the world way before the semi-finals. if timing was done anyhow in this universe, how would we have harmony instead of chaos,? how would scientists be able to collide probes against comets to study them, how would we know when solar and lunar eclipses would occur? how would we be sure of dawn and dusk? I also share some of the views of @Dis guy. timing and planning are vital

IYA NGBALI:
i hear say the refree lost his whistle and wristwatch before leaving the field

so which of our players was closest to the ref then ?

honeric01:
Maybe you can tell us what happened. are you new to nairaland?

wow, you raised a nice point, who can actually tell us what happened from and straight from the horse's mouth too? do you recall the "african time" that FIFA complained about at the start of Nigeria '99. Timing is important in this universe and we ought to be striving to set the pace, not just imitation. and i've been around for a while, just haven't posted much.

honeric01:
They deserve more than that. they are all pathetic, enemies of progress, you do something positive, they will talk, you do something negative, they will talk, you decides not to do anything, they will talk!!!

Perhaps you are taking it as destructive and not constructive criticism. Why don't we learn from what happened and suggest ways of improvement. If our Creator was so hard on us and not merciful would we even be here? The fact remains that those lights went out/were switched off prematurely and that those you perceive as negative were actually impressed with the stadium, the turn out and the Eaglets.

but, in the first place, why would a lady think she can take a guy for granted, why that tendency? why would they think of themselves as better and more logical in arriving at decisions?Or is it peculiar to naija girls?

.

I think the activation of the fireworks combined with the already existing load from the floodlights and other electricity-consuming gadgets drew more power than the transformers or generators could deliver/generate and the way it happened seemed to me to be quite stupid. It was like the players from both sides did not even shake hands after the final whistle.

get a mac, period!

Try the Orchard at Lagos Civic Centre or www.ishopa.com (in Ikeja) or Cashin (cashin@mac.com). I prefer Cashin (lives at Opebi).

This is my way of expressing my gratitude to Osaze for all his efforts for our fatherland and not forgetting his roots. Keep it up.

I want to encourage those of us who mean well for Naija to support and acknowledge the efforts of our patriots. Osaze has been consistent and he is one of the reasons I still watch the "Super" Eagles on TV.

I agree with you that those boys did not set out to willingly fail. But the reaction here is symptomatic of the state of Nigeria. When something that we think is not in our favour happens, quite a number of us are quick to judge and condemn. What if we are the ones attracting disappointments to ourselves? What we think, we attract. If we continue to think negative and our hearts remain inclined toward pessimism, cynicism and gloominess, what else do we expect with Nigeria. So all those who see no good on our squads, I wonder if you've ever thought about what God thinks of these lads, nay, what HE thinks of each of us. As for me, I have decided to seek for and expect the best and know that I have found same. Let's search ourselves and proffer solutions instead of using our hands/mouths to (completely) demolish this house.
I thank God for Nigeria.

efeboy:
Can't we all see that the problem surpasses blame coach blame player?

In the same exact way the super eagles got their hope of qualifying for the 2010 mundial dashed, so the flying eagles missed qualifying to next

stage.

Look at it this way. As if someone is pressing a button somewhere and it is playing as expected.

Let's face it Nigerian Football is currently under a spell or curse by some unforgiving or evil-hearted individual.

And please when posting or commenting, put yourself in the shoes of these boys and ask whether your wish would have been to play rubbish

footie at such a huge stage.
