hmmm, green white green, wow! rather creative huh? infact the guy is genius, i dont think anyone else could have come up with such colours, not even einstein.


please if the guy needs help, let him say so. do u know how much £100 was worth then. he accepted it, didn't he? i think we should respect him only because those colours are the nigerian brand around the world. but he really shouldnt fuss it. if so, the men who wrote the anthem, the cost of arms and the one who drew the first map of nigeria can come along and get some

I am working with a business consulting firm in nigeria, it's pretty small, new, i've learnt a lot from working here but am afraid am not enjoying it that much. it's not so much about the pay (considering we get bonuses and all) but i just don't find it motivating. we get jobs and work on them, it's fun trying new things and learning, but the truth is i don't look forward to coming to work in the mornings. it's more like a drag,

i have this offer form virgin nigeria. it seems like it will be fun. does anyone work with virgin, please i'd like to know what it's like TRULY.

hey, what about the aviation industry? how much do virgin nigeria, arik, air france etc pay? local and international, any facts?

really? and i guess cards will be used in the market, on the roads, in buses and taxis. THINK guy, the fact that cards will exist someday does not stop an increase in prices in the next few years. its not about "rep" or "big boy" ^{since thats what u call it}, my posts ask that u think of the implications this will have in the long run, not just in a few years.

i must commend soludo et al's efforts to improve the economy, but i wonder if they have really looked into this. i understand the cbn has a target of making the naira the ecowas currency by 2020, and i know this redenomination has a lot to do with it, as it will make the naira mathematically easy to convert into dollars.

But is it such a good idea to redenominate the psyche of nigerians who are used to spending hundreds and thousands daily? imagine ur usual bus fare is 100naira right now, by august next year, it becomes 1 naira. say this bus fare increases to 1naira 10 kobo, pro'bly due to the rains (as in naija, everything is an excuse to increase prices, even christmas where yankee dey go on sales, naija dey double prices), would the conductor rather hold 1 naira notes and jiggle 5 and 10 kobo coins, than jus ask for 1naira, 50kobo notes? afterall a reason bus fares jump from 120 naira now to 150naira is the issue of 'change'.

coins will become excess baggage and more difficult to carrry around or spend. it means aboki's shop will be filled wiith coins, iya basira will be carrying sacks. i thot the main reason 10kobo - 1naira coins vanished was bcuz they were "heavy" to spend. the truth is that we place more value in notes than coins.

i say except the cbn is willing to make the new naira in more notes and less coins, i don't see how the value of things will not go up.

someone please correct me if u dont see my point.

i think i agree with most of what was said except number one. sometimes a woman just flirts (depending on what u regard as flirting)because she feels god about herself or she knows she's looking good.we can always tell by the way u have ur eyes fixed on us and u seem to be watching eevry move our lips make , geez the power of women

i agree part of it is true though, if the flirting is the type that leaves other girls frowning, then something's wrong

Is this nairaland or sesame street? there should be some policy restricting kids on this site.

@ topic,

dduuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh, of course her love is real. love is all about email, phone calls and instant messages, especially when uve never set ur eyes on him. of course u dont need his picture cuz when u fantasize about him, u put someones face there - it could be denzel or brad or wentworth miller . so hey, who cares what u look like, this love can go all the way.

my guy, sorry to put it this blunt, but please , u should be asking if this is a relationship at all before u call the word love.

@ topic,

so sorry my guy, thats a real backstab. d truth is that ex-relationship is truly not over. theres really no point asking her about it cuz she might lie again; a car is something u cant hide forever, but u can hide feelings. if she TRULY loved u, she would not have accepted the car in the first place cuz its a bruise to ur ego ^{THO A CAR IS TEMPTING O, IN THIS NAIJA!.} a relationship is two-ways man, but considering the fact that men will not resist a fling even while "in love", i'd say life deals with us both sides.

let her choose for herself, dont put pressure her, its for your own good. if she chooses to keep her ex and the car, she's not worth the stress really, u'll find another. but if she chooses u, let her love u for who u are even if u cant buy her a car. i agree women can be materialistic, but if a woman loves u, she'll always want to make u happy and make u proud of her.

good luck!

come on u guys, nysc is not soooo bad. mine was a worthwhile experience. av lived under my parents all my life (apologies to all those who are used to being on their own, for me, it was something new) and i felt i needed some time away from them to truly be on my own and "grow up". and the nysc did exactly that for me. it was the most amazing year of my life, camp was DIRTY, no light, filled with all kinds of people,  NFAs (no future ambition) and focused people,  but considering what it has down for me spiritually and mentally, i am grateful to God that i went thru it.

truly, God took me to another level (a lower one for that matter) to help me see what other people in our country have to go thru on a daily basis. it is not until u go thru shit that u decide u must get rid of it. sometimes u must stoop to conquer to make a headway, but its always worth it. i know now that there is hope for my country, i want to make a difference and really help build Nigeria.

nysc has humbled me and helped me become independent from man but dependent on God. if i were with my parents, i'd probably work in my dad's company, in a nice car, sleeping in an air conditioned room (i never knew d value of that until my bestfriends became heat and mosquitoes, they visit everyday, guaranteed to keep u awake all night!), and of course waiting for some rich dude to come marry me. 

but with nysc, on my own, its different, i have to feed so i definitely have to get off my butt, find a job and work, i have to make something VERY useful out of my life, so i learn and build myself spiritually, mentally, emotionally. more than anything else, am no longer afraid of being on my own or facing those life long hurdles. i still have a long way to go, but av never felt better that God moved my cheese.

moreover, i have a stronger relationship with my Jesus, (truly, its wen ure fustrated that u remember G O D), av lost acquaintances and made such wonderful friends. i lost my boyfriend though but am happy now cuz i now know what marriage with him wouldve turned out to be if faced with pressure. my solitude helped me grow and realise that there will be disappointments with no one to turn to, but one must be dynamic. we shouldnt get too comfortable in our position, but build on strength and an adaptability to change.

am a better person bcuz of nysc, and like every other point in life, i depends on how u choose to see it.

i love sleeping!!!

@ mubowa,

na wa ooooooo!!!!!!

i smell a conscience on a guilt trip. my dia, abeg take am easy. u drink tooo much panadol for this headache.

To everyone,

i appreciate you all being honest. ure all right ^{in ur own ways}. the truth is, ive known what to do all along, i just needed someone to help me out. a cheating man is HEADACHE!

theres no excuse for cheating on someone you love, if you truly love that person. Mistakes may happen, but a TRULY repentant soul wouldnt go into the same fire three times, and still leave himself exposed for a fourth burning. if i should really consider the time we've spent together, i wonder why that hasnt crossed his mind all thru the 3 times.

i believe everyone would stand before God ALONE. so i truly do not have to carry any man's baggage with my own. i'm only sorry because his mom has asked me to stay, and give her time to talk to him, but she really doesnt know the whole story.

Thank you girls, Ayeisha and cute-ass especially, u sho know how to drive it deep, but hey, the truth is bitter but it shall always remain the truth.

God bless you all.

@ razorr

u may be proud that you can cause such trouble in a relationship, but in this case , he HAS cheated with this girl he hangs out with.

i suggest u think about what u are doing to hurt another relationship, unless you have "intentions"

i have been in a relationship for over four years and i love my boyfriend very much. we are thinking of getting married. the only problem is that he has cheated on me 3 times, and right now, he's seeing the third girl again!(unfortunately they work in the same place). he claims nothing is going on and he simply drops her home or picks her up in the mornings. i think this is too close for comfort, and honestly i dont think i can take anymore.

ive told him he doesnt have to pay such "kind gestures" as old feelings do errupt. we've quarrelled about it a couple of times (especially as he had been lying for over a month that the girl had traveled for good, even if theyve been working in the same office for weeks now). he insists he cant just stop talking to her cuz he thinks its childish to do so. he says theyre still friends, even if i am uncomfortable with the relationship.

i really do not think dat i can go thru this, but it hurts to think that i have wasted so much time. a part of me always wants to forgive him and help if possible. he says he loves me but i dont think he loves me enuf to understand that am not happy with their friendship, no matter how "innocent" it may seem.
