Car TalkRe: Lexus Admits That It Lacks The Allure Of The German Three by AreaFada2:
Nwachukwu1986:
Are u not suppose to carter for her needs wen u do Bleep her
Dude, bleeping is a consensual thing. The woman's organ is even designed to derive more pleasure from it.

Men should STOP promoting the idea that a woman's sex organ is a commodity for sale.

Men chase women because it is biological thing to do so. among virtually most species of animals.

It became part of human culture. Not because it is more pleasurable to a man or it is a big favour the woman is doing a man.

In reality there are no secrets anywhere. The level of improvement in the industry are across board There is nothing Mercedes knows that others do not know or cannot buy. In terms of actual quality measured objectively each year Lexus have topped in some surveys and only this year we hear that Mercedes is recalling 1 million vehicles because of "fire risk". That would still not change the perception.

The issue here is one of perception and that is what the speaker talked about.
Audi have been very clever in their marketiing and so no one or very few people make the association between Audi and Volkswagen. Peoples perception would be very different if they were marketed a Volkswagen Audis which bythe way,, d how it wad first marketed in Nigeria.

People think of "Toyota Lexus" and so when they buy a Lexus they always thin they are buying a Toyota. It is hard to shake of that perception.

I agree that many people grew up with the idea that "when I grow up I am going to buy a Benz" and that can be hard to shift no matter what and so Lexus should target kids who have not even learnt how to drive yet
True regarding across the board improvement.

Many young people I know using Lexus think it is the best car they have ever used. Only because that group are more adventurous & likely to try new things.

We all feel comfortable with what we know. If dad used his Benz for 15 years with minimal problems, that stays with you.

No matter how swanky a Skoda SUV might look, most will still prefer Toyata Prado, ML and such.

Hard earned reputation over time it is.

You cannot compare Lexus that is a recent offshoot of Toyota to 91 years of continuous breakthrough, improvement and pace setting of Mercedes na.

Lexus should seek to grab more market share of young upwardly mobile people. Who will hopefully remain loyal for decades. So that 30 years from now, moneyed people in their 60s and above will consider it a genuine alternative to Benz.

But BMW, Audi, Nissan Infinity, Honda Acura and others are seriously making that young upwardly mobile segment difficult.

Sometimes it comes from where you do not expect.

I know a lady who still has refused to tell her ex-bf she has it. Despite my efforts to persuade her to tell him. So he can get tested and possibly protect other women but she refused.

If not that she went for antenatal, she would not have known. A lady from a VERY religious home.
RomanceRe: Twitter User Apologizes To Girl Who Refunded His Date Money, Sends Back The 5k by AreaFada2: 1:01am On Mar 31, 2017
Sadly many ladies will not learn.

This lady could not take the public humiliation and returned the money.

The guy is childish. No wonder she rejected him.

Depending on the guy, a lady should volunteer to pay something on a date. Let the guy refuse instead. And most guys will refuse. But the lady will have a useful point and earn respect.

Do not just sit there ordering things up & down. Some can order 50k worth of stuff without blinking. On top a guy's head.

This attitude unfairly paints all ladies with same brush.

See this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/3713132/facebook-user-claims-customs-boss/2#55117241

Every guy cannot be rich. Not every rich guy makes a good bf or hubby.

See the way the mouthed ladies of Nairaland avoid this thread like Ebola is being spread here. grin cheesy

This lady is saying what a lot of ladies experience but are too ashamed to say normally.

Failed promises after a bangster's repeated hydaraulic actions like this oga custom dude's case. grin cheesy

The level of coded prostitution is alarming now.

Those that "take curtain" and do it officially are more honorable.

At least patrons can bargain and reach an agreement. No strings attached.

Ladies should stop using toto to look for ATM upandan.

CelebritiesRe: Nigerians React To Kemi Olunloyo Appearing In Court In Prison Uniform by AreaFada2: 10:34pm On Mar 30, 2017
Under which section of our penal code is she detained?

Is her offence of the gravity to warrant such detention for so long?

I thought such act usually falls under civil lawsuit (a tort) for defamation, slander and such.

Even defamatory libel (published/publicized defamation serious enough to injure or cause act of reprisal against the defamed) that is potentially a criminal offence is hard to uphold in a modern democratic society.

Legal experts should please enlighten us.

I know girls lie the biggest lies but this...
This is out of this world.
Just kuku tell us say you wan dey write fantasy stories. We will surely support u.
Whether this story is true or lie I cannot say but what she described has been happening for at least 20 years. It typically happened when bride's father dies and both are abroad but cannot come yet. Depending on culture, if marriage not done before funeral the man will not be recognised as an inlaw during the funeral rites.
So they do it in absentia. Although I have never seen the acting part abroad but with popularity of social media live stream, video chat and others now in 2017, it is 100% credible.

Culture evolves constantly . What might sound bizarre now could become the trend in just 5 years.

OkoYiboz:
GEJ served as Deputy Gov, Governor, VP, President for 6 years but Otueke people didn't have water or good roads simply because he followed sycophants like the original poster I quoted.

Goodluck's greatest ruin wasn't the fact that he lost an election, it is the fact that he lost the goodwill of the people who loved him most.

Go figure.
Well, he built Almajiri schools up North, universities all over the place, repaired roads like Benin-Lagos Road that OBJ could not, brought railway back and many other projects. Not in his village except Otuoke FG university. Yet people especially SW & the core North called him militant.

What if he had concentrated all the projects in Bayelsa or Otuoke?

GEJ had a more national outlook in terms of projects. Which of course is an anomaly in Nigeria where nepotism is the rule these days.

I think some people are crying more than the bereaved concerning GEJ being voted out.

Remember he did not even go to court to contest the results despite obvious election rigging in the North. Bubu who got considerably lower vote in previous three elections went to court each time. He even incited his Northerners to cause mayhem killing people.
Whereas GEJ made it clear that his political ambition isn't worth the blood of any Nigeria....Word on marble there.

If our generation steeped in anomaly, tribalism/nepotism & propaganda fails to see it, perhaps future generations will appreciate him.

I think GEJ is democratically more advanced than the usual Nigerian do-or-die attitude to politics. Hence many see losing an election as Armageddon.

They are ethno-religious imperialists in their mentality.

Unfortunately for you and your ilk, you are a bunch of inconsequential nonentities who have zero knowledge of the workings of government.
Ignorant people like you [b]pushed GEJ to his ruin [/b]and you're back to infecting whoever you support with your atrocious luck.

My advice to you is that you seek advice on legal matters before commenting and stop coming here to disgrace yourself.
Ruin?

So losing an election means ruin? No wonder Africans refuse to relinquish power. They think they must die in office.

Worldly power is transient. He served nearly 6 years. That was enough.

20 years from now, Nigerians can more objectively judge both GEJ & Buhari govts. That is democracy. We African need to understand that.

My advice for that guy is that,he should please forget and forgive her acts and move on with is life.One day I know karma will come back to her, and is olden days God they slow to repay, this our century na grab ur copy nowww!!!


vengeance is for our God
This is rather common these days. Including married women sleeping about and all her kids will belong to other men outside.
The man who travels frequently for work to provide her comfort and economic security will be blamed for not being around. I have seen these things happen.
It is not just an exception anymore.

And women are always quick to say "but men do worse". Nobody should pay for what others did. We are all unique individual beings.

Its a welcoming idea. So sweet it sounds in their mouth for Nigerians to patronize made in Nigeria products. You need medical checkup - you travel overseas. Quality education - you send your kids overseas. Fleets of luxury cars - you import overseas and sneek it through borders to evade tax. Making too much noise on papers isn't what we need now - put them down to practice. Just do what you must do to fix this damn country. We're obsessed already.
Nor mind them.

Cool, but whether British pounds abi Nigerian pounds?, I don't know which but was aware they were using the pounds at that era.
Sure. Reason why it matters is that some say if we had retained Pounds, it would be as strong as Pounds Sterling today. It wouldn't because the pound that changed in 1973 was already Nigerian indigenous pounds. Nigerian pounds today would just be weak as our Naira. cheesy

I thought the Nigerian currency was changed from Pounds, pence and shiling to Naira and Kobo in 1973 under Gowon's regime?.

Op, I'm not understanding.
Abeg you are right.

Obviously in preparation for independence, plans for own currency and local financial/economic policies were put in place.
Before 1973, we were using Nigeria Pounds and it's smaller units.

Hence Biafra also issued Biafra Pounds when civil war began.
