All ex presidents r entitled to dss & police security constitutionally.

I see. Well that has to be changed. Only elected ex leaders should get such treatment, nothing for ex dictators. We can save a few kobo for the country by doing so.

Wait, so Buhari had a chief security officer even before he became president elect? What in the world for? I thought this was just a simple ex general from Kastina.

Lalastica what in the world is a dozen of children? How can you murder the English language this way and not get called out for it?

This weekend is shaping up nicely. Keep it up Everton.

MissTechy:
Do you trust Google like that?

Yes I trust Google like any corporate entity will not descend to embedding pictures of their icon urinating on a rival's icon in a service it offers to the public. Corporate brand wars have taken on many forms, some more daring than others, but none has gotten to this level of distastefulness. This is clearly the work of an individual working without official backing. If it wasn't the image would not have been taken down.

I was really hoping Alex Otti would win. Ikpeazu please don't disappoint us.

No thanks to Maester Gbola5 and Grand Measter gj22.

They should be sent north of the wall as punishment, their ramblings have caused much distress in the seven kingdoms.

Rossikk:
Not sure what cave you crawled out of, but ''in today's world'', a huge population allied to rapid economic expansion, such as exemplifies Nigeria, IS a determining factor when assessing a nation's calibre in the comity of nations. Whether Nigeria was a British or Martian colony, it matters zero in relation to her being today Africa's economic powerhouse. The USA was once a British colony too.

''According to the US Department of Agriculture, Nigeria is poised to become Africa’s first trillion dollar economy by 2030''.

Point noted. A huge population is significant in today's world.

I will however direct my previous comment to the hundreds of people who come on here to brag about something that resulted from the designs of another as though it was their own making. What these people brag about was bequeathed to them, not something they achieved with their own effort. Liken this to the son of a wealthy man who brags about his father's wealth whereas he has not made any money himself. Surely you must see how shallow that is.

BTW I find it curious that you Rossikk are quick to point to an American projection of Nigeria's growth to back up your position of our greatness. Where is Nigeria's own projection of its own greatness? Why do we have to rely on outsiders for this kind of validation (yet rapidly dismiss them if they say something unflattering)

make sure you join the army so that you can serve your mother land.

He is calling for war. And to think that his moniker is princeofpeace. Another empty headed Internet warrior. SMH

Fynline:
Payback.....thats why we are the Giant. Just watch other African countries will follow Nigeria's action.

That giant thing is played out, nobody gives a hoot. Besides some other countries had already recalled their ambassadors before now.

We should all realise that our giant of Africa title came about as a result of our large population. It's the British that lumped these many ethnic groups into one nation - we didn't achieve it by ourselves. That's hardly something to beat one's chest about in today's world.

MissTechy:
I swear down

You believe that this is the work of Google? Amazing.

TheFury:
If you do not understand the plotline behind metal gear.....well.....I don't know what to say. Its straight forward enough. The use of flashbacks and prequels in Metal Gear Part's like "Metal Gear Rising" "Metal Gear Snake Eater" or "Phantom Pain" makes it all the more interesting. Metal Gear story in virtually all the games is usually centered on a Special Forces Agent(Solid Snake, Naked Snake, Raiden) who is sent to investigate a terrorist cell or group that always ends up having a Metal Gear Machine capable of making a Nuclear Strike. In reality, it isnt different-in story line-from any any tactical action movie you have seen. Where it differs is its characters. From Snake to Grey Fox to Psycho Mantis to The End.

A Metal Gear Movie on the big screen shouldn't be difficult to render at all. Except of course for wranglings about rights, finding the right actors etc. United Nations won't and can't say squat!!!! Do you know how many movies and novels are out there that logically should have incurred a sanction from the UN Its simply show business. Portions of the movie "The interpreter" with Sean Penn and Charliez Theron were actually filmmed in the UN building. So nothing there.

As for Prince of Persia, maybe I should have added "in my opinion". Sure it sold some..... but the movie didn't work for me at all. As for being the best video game adaptation, well I am waiting on the soon to be released "Hitman Reboot". Trailer looks dope. I hope it delivers.

You see, even the way you described MGS storyline doesn't do the game any justice, that's the most abridged version ever and there is no mention of the, you know, one hundred subplots that make up each game. Heck those subplots have enough flesh in themselves to become individual games/stories. How will the movie producers do justice to any proper MGS story in the 90 minutes it takes to watch the average movie? I mean they could try but they would certainly incur the wrath of many a fan with the result.

You didn't get my hyperbole with the UN line did you?

What do you think about a Call of Duty or Battlefield movie? Now that I would love to see - there isn't any main character in either of those games so finding an actor for the lead role shouldn't be hard. They can pretty much come up with any storyline too, it just has to be a fast paced military flick shot in many foreign countries.The problem though would be that we wouldn't be able to relate it with the game. I mean what one singular element would we identify from the game? Will the whole movie be shot in first person?

OP no vex, I know we are skewing this thread some but a discussion such as this had to touch on these areas. A GOW movie is possible but knowing Hollywood and its preference of visuals over storyline they will most likely make a mess of it. Then again Kratos isn't much of a character himself, he rarely engages in dialogue, mainly displays one emotion which is rage and answers every question with his fists. Perfect movie for Micheal Bay to direct.

favoured234:
I am actually thinking they were in it together. How was she able to save that much for a wedding. Did he care to know ?

Don't rope the man in on this. Women should be held responsible for their actions without deflecting anything to men. I'm pretty sure if it was the husband who was arrested you wouldn't think to accuse the wife too.

oracle009:
Are u kiddin me? D lady luks so so innocent. Wt such a good degree... She sure deserves to get a LIFE! Shez liable to die young wt ds lifestyle... Btw... Dt oyinbo man lazy die. If not, seems d lady sponsored d whole wedding. I wuld av gladly pay alot for a chick lik ds. #shez a criminal

Nairaland barrister. How does this crime deserve a life sentence? What will you do to people who molest children or kidnap senior citizens?

I wouldn't use it myself, but there is no denying the fact that this crop does have many functions. Buhari should legalise it.

This thread is becoming very technical. Soon you people will start teaching us the Dorthraki language.

TheFury:
It would just be another bad adaptation. Even prince of Persia was a poor movie. But still, I would like to see the GOW movie just for the thrill. Jason Momoa, built up with a shaven head and other make up would look the part. I think he could pull off the voice too. Vin diesel isn't a bad choice...but I doubt if he would act the role well. The only video game I would like to see on the big screen is METAL GEAR SOLID. As far as I am concerened there isn't anyone worthy or okay to play the legendary Solid Snake. If it takes Hollywood another 15years to make Metal Gear Saga into a movie.....a good movie. I will wait. Patiently.

How was Prince of Persia a poor movie? It currently holds the record of the most successful video game adaptation beating even Tomb Raider. It probably was not Oscar worthy but was ok, at worst average, certainly not poor.

Have you considered what a Metal Gear Solid movie would look like? I mean aside from struggling to find a fitting actor to play Snake there is the convoluted storyline to deal with. I love the game to bits but even I as a fan have not been able to form a coherent picture of what the story is all about - its damned too long and confusing. Any attempt by Hollywood to make a movie out of that game would do so much injustice to it that the United Nations might have to place sanctions on Hollywood.

You make it sound like it was unavailable before now.

No no no. This is a bad idea because Hollywood will just make another CGI packed action flick with no worthy substance, dialogue or storyline.

We need original material not another adaptation, BTW have you noticed how all video game adaptations turn out to be very horrible movies (well except for Prince of Persia)?

Hollywood should stay clear of games like Uncharted, Metal Gear and God of War because I'm pretty sure they'll ruin it for true fans.

Then again let them make a Kratos movie, never really liked the game anyway so I don't care.

I feel u are going around Ur tail on Ur points. Is and was are from the same verb 'to be'. SON has a task as an organization. If they failed at verification of companies before issuing licenses or ensuring manufacturing standards are maintained during processing or inspection of companies output before export, the simple thing is SON needs to arch their arss up. If our goods are rejected what other organization would u blame for this? Are u going to blame MAN? Or NCS? All countries have what we call international n national standards. It is Ur duty to have adequate knowledge about the standards of the countries you make Ur exports. U must consult with them and if possible make sample exports before exportation can be effected. SON bears that heavy responsibility to give exporters the clearance, also adequate information based on the ISO and NSO of the designated countries of export.

All of what you say here in no way substantiate the accusation you made against SON in your first comment. When did SON certify criminal companies? Do you know of any company that produces substandard goods with a SON certification? That's a serious claim, you can't just say stuff like that without evidence.

GenBuhari:
A more sensible thing to report is to list those countries that reject our exports so that we may also reject their exports.

That is actually a daft thing to do. The sensible thing would be to list the products that are actually substandard so that the Nigerian public is made aware that way the product manufacturers will sit up.

Stop looking to engage in an unproductive trade battle - it ultimately harms Nigeria.

jascon1:
let's date back to the heydays of NAFDAC and u can figure out my logic.

That won't fly. The minister was speaking about events in recent times, you are referring to the pre- Dora era of NAFDAC.

I can bet you can't provide one solid evidence that SON has certified or licensed a "criminal" company. The problem we face is not that SON licenses substandard products it's that many products don't even have any backing from SON.

jascon1:
Of course, when you guys have degraded the face of the nation with corruption, how could countries ever accept your goods? Our SON is crap. Licenses were given to criminals n no legit inspections carried out.

Serious accusations to make at SON. Care to back it up with facts, or are you another Internet critic?

cyberguy72:
You really sound like an APC apologists pretending to be neutral.Why do u have to bring GEJ into ur statement?

Her comment was funny, was wondering where she was going with it.

Buhari and APC have a lot to do in managing the expectations of Nigerians, they have to be careful when they address the public so that they are properly understood.

APC and it's agents need to watch what they say otherwise any carelessness will blow back in their faces.

deji68:
LOL... no be the hype "by the guys on this forum" ..na fashola cause am , u never lay track u don dey go inspect trains...chei naija people sef

The worst part is that I believed everything, I just fall mugu for the whole hype. Every couple of months I used to call my Lagos friends to ask if the project would soon be completed. My hope was very high. Chai. See jonsing... I mean, when you see the way Fashola was stepping in the hype photos, the seriousness on his face, you gats believe na. Mehn these 9ja politicians eh.

He is still my guy though but now I watch him with a little more suspicion than before.

deji68:
LOL...20 % completed after 154 billion spent..that is why i treasure the picture....

Lol. I think it's more than 20% completed though, maybe 60%. I still hope it's completed by the new guy but the hype on this forum was insane.

deji68:
Hmnnn Dejavu....remind me of fashola inspecting "real" used trains in canada, not prototype oooo.....after 4 years the pic taken in canada is all we have to show for it

Mehn. That was something. Fashola just put the whole of Lagos on a long thing. The way the media hyped that project you would think Fashola was about to commission it the next day - every time I visited Lagos I was always looking out to see if the trains had started running. Anyway I hope the incoming governor completes that project.

Buhari is wearing that amused look he had on when he first used a tablet.

That I-don't-know-what-the-heck-this-is-but I'mna-smile-anyway-so-I don't-look-lost.

Also reminds me of Jona's "I have to look serious look for this ish" expression below.

Double post.

oshyno:
This America doesn't know Wike. Watch how all the Americans and American companies in PH will be booted out of PH. They think they can dictate to the world . All the Americans working in Total, Exxon,Chevron ,Agiip, Schlum , Beker, Haliburton shud prepare their kaya cuz shiiit is about to hit d fan. Ndi ara.

You will be milking his source of livelihood at his backyard kwa and bar him from entering ur country. What a nerve.
Funny thing is these Americans don't obay traffic laws. They ply one-way when everyone else is on traffic .

Confirmed fiction. Wike cannot boot out any of the companies you mentioned. This may be hard for you to swallow but this is the truth: Rivers state needs those companies more than the companies need Rivers.

Well done. You realise you guys are talking about stuff that isn't on the tv show? How do you expect those who have only seen the show to feel?
