And you feel there is any sense, albeit common, in all that you've been posting?

I do not know about you, but even the best scientists I have met, Nobel Prize winners & such calibre, always put common sense first. Followed by first principle. All great minds seek to find simple solutions to complicated questions/matters. Your common sense is your best ally. It helps you to know where to look for information, which is plausible and worth further exploration, who/what to doubt & who to learn from, what would look silly arguing publicly, when to talk & when to be quiet and so on.

Well, I have to admit it's not common to everybody.

It needs no lies, propaganda, bigotry or ego. But straight, honest & reproducible answers. You will find your life becoming more successful & happier if you can emulate such honesty & simplicity.

May their souls rest in peace.

This should be a lesson to others to make sure they have smoke detectors installed in their houses. It is not a luxury. It could save your life. It is compulsory to have one installed in a lot of western countries.

On a lighter note, what is it with Bayelsa politicians' children and Dubai schools?

Very true. And check that the battery is working frequently too.

The other bad aspect is burglary proof all over the house. Insecurity seems a very big problem, or at least perceived to be one.

ok

That girl is stupid to believe that being white equates to having money.

Apart from having or not having money, oyinbo are not generous with their money. Even oyinbo beggars know that. They harass black people & other foreigners for alms instead of fellow oyinbo.

They can blow $200 on themselves in a restaurant but won't give a dollar to a beggar sitting outside that restaurant.

Except those young hippie free love people who might give, but they are few.

If you are a busker playing guitar or other instrument & singing inside a train station, they might drop you a coin, depending on how good they rate your performance.
My big question is : how far would that waitress be ready to go for that assistance? Into "the other room"?

But 9ja is damn cast o. Haba!

So not even an iota of dignity for someone who died so tragically?

The police, Road safety, Edison motor or anybody has sought to locate her address in Mushin or at least take the body to the mortuary?

Which kind country be this sef??

How can people be encouraged to care about Nigeria if Nigeria gives no damn if you are alive or dead?

RIP young lady. No doubt you are in a better place now.

Agric people should study that breed of garri & the soil.

He replied. .

You need to see me jumping around and nodding my head like Agama Lizard

I should be the one saying sir (I'm a boy ). From what I understand about you, you're a matured man who has seen life - good, bad and the ugly, who is advising lads and lasses on how to see life. Trust me when I say I have learnt a lot from you.

I occasionally asked you some questions - medical related and even a sent a mail (I went through your topics to get the mail. I apologize for the intrusion). No replies, I assumed two reasons:

1, He's very busy.
2, Gerrard59 is one those scammers or "small boys who Glo has spoiled with awuff data plan"

I also thought it was because I once asked a question on which university you went (you always praise your school. Let me guess, UCL?). Maybe you saw it as an intrusion on your privacy (apologies here). Since then, I lock up. Just that today, I couldn't hold it.
You also made me use smileys on my posts just like mostly
I love and appreciate your posts.

Thanks for the mention. [/size]continues Agama-ing[size=8pt]

Hahahaha. Very funny dude.
I usually answer questions, even insulting ones.
Tbh never actually saw your email. I get tens of spam mails daily and mostly go into spam box. Even many normal mails go into spam. Unless I am specifically expecting mail, I cannot spot it in spam.

I think behaviour and attitude make a man, not necessarily age. The so called "little person" can often be the best teacher.

Surprisingly not UCL. But I know the school reasonably well, having used their facilities in the past.

And who made you the arbiter of truth, featherbrain?

Common sense did .

As for brain, no need to go into that. Our respective posts here should speak for themselves.

Deen77:
But my opinion, if Jonathan perform no media would have stopped his 're-election. Jonathan has d best opportunity but failed don't forget that Jonathan promise one time after completing Ya-Adua first 4 years.

So somebody who built 14 new universities, brought railway train back, hundreds of Almajiri schools, modernised fertiliser supply to remove fraud, did many federal roads like Lagos -Benin Road that OBJ could not do in 8 years, electricity supply improved, made Nigeria Africa's largest economy for the first time, tried to remove oil subsidy scam but SW used media power against him, signed freedom of information bill, ensured free and fair elections, food was far more affordable, investors were coming back and many more.

If that is failure, then the propaganda the person you mentioned talked about was really effective.
People with narrow vested interests have used SW media machine to cause crisis since independence like goading military officers into coups as IBB said recently.

What GEJ did for Nigerian democracy will become obvious in years to come. When propaganda has cleared from people's eyes and brain and can think and see clearly again.

jaymejate:
We all know the woman is saying the truth.
People are saying ought to advice him in bed not publicly. She must have done that like million times, buh the old man nor gree.

In short, truth must be told

In fact she has got fed up talking without Bubu heeding. She's talking on behalf of people she met on the campaign train. How much effort they put in before being sidelined. In deed most have reached out to her and she knows they have a point.

She's actually doing Buhari a big favour. Letting people know that many things going on are caused by a cabal.

Gerrard59:
You might not reply my mentions. But I just want to say, I love your posts - there are educative and infomative.


You have a fan in me.

Thank you sir. I do try to reply most mentions, even if late. It is a forum to share ideas after all. Sorry if I have not replied in the past.

abouzaid:
i think that's the same facility been used by ibb.

gypsey:
Absolutely! %1000 correct, you also mentioned they can afford legal fees to fight landlord instead of just paying that money to the landlord who might even consider and forfeit the tenants rest of debt, it's just wickedness and lack of consideration for the landlord.
i might try the church one, that's if they don't end up been problematic and come after me with their so called holy ghost fires and Angels i guess i do not want to go to court with 300 or more members of a church all they have to do is donate 1k each on legal fees.

Hahahaha. At least church is booming business.

Nice one biochemist. Congrats!

No one can beat you out there if you have been through Biochem. It prepares you for anything you chose to follow later: research, medicine & more.

gypsey:
he thought he was been clever i guess, i mean, i don't understand why people choose not to pay their rents, for how long was he prepared to act in that manner? It's not easy for landlords too, i have to pay all kinda local council levies including maintainance of the properties, broken toilets, blocked drainages, suck away drainings and ETC yet tenants do not appreciate, it's not been easy i am thinking of selling up. .
i have an empty land i rent out as a mechanic work shop to a mechanic it's more profitable than dealing with residence tenants.

Another thing i don't understand is they seem to have a lot of children, while i the landlord has only one child.

My brother, when you look at those people, you wonder if this world will ever settle. Imagine a young man about 50 who already has many grandkids, brought grand kids and his own little kids, one by one, to live in a flat that he seems unable & unwilling to pay for.

They think landlord has lots of money & can afford to be father Christmas. Most have never moulded 100 blocks let alone lay a foundation, so how will they know the costs a landlord incurs?

Some will rather pay a lawyer to fight you than pay rent.

It's just that most other investments like stock/shares, bonds, savings are either too volatile or eaten away by inflation, so property seems a solid one.

If you build a small hall on a vacant plot & rent it out to a church, you will even have better rest of mind sef.

modath:
Na wah for di awa obodo naija pipo!! When exactly did he have the time to hole up in a medical facility to treat the "undisclosed ailment",

Buhari need to be more ptoactive on his job, so all these tales by moonlight will stop titillating the uninformed...

When something/someone is doing well, distractions will not matter much... It's Buhari's call to make, he has to be loud,clear and message will be well received..

Actually, that visit to that military officer raised my suspicion. That he was there for treatment. The facility has been used by 9ja army top notch since at least the early 1980s. Many of us know the popular company that organises it.

Without disclosing much, it was the only major facility in the West easily accessible to top officers in Abacha years because of embargo. Yours truly had the opportunity to see the place then.

gypsey:
i feel your pain i was just been optimistic by not mentioning the 2 of my tenants who have not paid rent for the last 18 months and they are still living in my accomodations. I could not evict them they have children and are struggling (recession) i don't want to feel responsible for making their children homeless.

Very thoughtful. My my tenants were bad liars. Once one of them got paid at work, he won't return to the house for two weeks. Instead he would call his wife & kids to come collect food money from his hang out. You know kids cannot keep secret. They kids eventually told the caretaker.

gypsey:
precisely, last year my tenants were pay less on their rent this year because of the inflation on the prices of building and maintainance material i am gonna be forced to put up rent.

Oga your own good o.

I had to lose over 6 months rent & use more money to evict them through lawyer.

Ezechinwa:
it favours foreign firms as 1$ is more than 450 naira, when they bring small dollars to Nigeria it makes it looks big when exchange.

what 3000$ cannot buy three years ago will buy that product times 3.

It is not that simple. Has petrol remained same price as 3 years ago? No.

What about raw material prices, local & imported? All gone up.
With fall in value of the Naira, inflation comes too.

Just like the bag of rice you bought 3 years ago for under 8k is now over 20k. So have other prices.

It looks big as you said. But it can afford little.

nwakibie3:
when will he travelling again?

Again?

But he's only on transit. Just to refuel.

Or have you not heard that the King of Thailand just died?

He has to go pay condolence visit na.

The trim young lady she was looks healthier & more natural to me.

Abeg o, which normal person sends an 8 year old girl without even a swimming trunk or rescue swimmer swimming alongside into a dirty lake to swim? A lake that might even be having corpses weighed down with heavy objects & animal carcasses in it considering high crime levels & people vanishing without a trace?

FriendChoice:
God Bless President Muhammadu Buhari And Help Him Deliver On His campaign Promises.

What about ordinary soldiers who get blasted by Boko, that are far more in number, do they get treatment in Germany too?

Does it mean a year and half is not enough to upgrade at least one military base hospital to the standard that can treat wounded soldiers?

Before you blame GEJ as is the default setting, we did not vote Buhari based on GEJ promises but to correct what he claimed GEJ/PDP has not done that he says he can do much better.

What about cost of getting 2003 & 2004 editions of the cars above to Lagos, Akure or Benin? But with 3 seat rows in each.

In addition, also 2003 & 2004 editions of ML320 with three rows?

Thanks.

Sorry dear.

Maybe there is hope for 9ja after all. Altruistic people like Chelseabmw are offering to help.

Good luck with your exams.

koning:
Very smart of you to use soooo many pictures to drive out negative comments. The women are fine, but do not represent the typical, everyday Yoruba women.
The beauty of a tribe can only be assessed by looking at the ordinary women from that tribe.

Yoruba women are however very Hor.ny. They cum easily. I know.

NPF needs a massive reform.

It is probably the most hated govt institution. Little credibility. They are perceived as devious & totally evil. They represent the worst about 9ja.

Yet there are some among them that actually try to do a decent job. But their work is ruined by widespread public mistrust.

PRISTINEMUSCLES:
The thing dey baffle me. If a guy's mouth smella like cow dung, it is understandable to a degree but when a beautiful damse's mouth oozes of fresh faeces, then something is so wrong somewhere and it is totally unacceptable.

Actually, it is no respecter of gender.

The main thing is that lots of people saying they are surprised here may actually themselves have it to some extent. Nobody really ever tells you to your face.

Just like they have not told people they complain about, others too have not told them.

Women can perceive bad breath 3 times more than a guy can. Meaning a lady that perceives a guy's breathe might also have it herself, but the guy's olfactory function cannot detect it. But hers might also be perceived by another woman.
Reason is simple. Men evolutionarily have to put up with all kinds of job, grime, spreading animal dung on land for farming, smell of death & dying in wars & doesn't need all the sissy smell sensitivity to too many things.

People walk about confidently because they brush including tongue 2 or 3 times daily, floss, use mouthwash and believe they have fresh breathe. But the person standing opposite might have a different opinion about it.

Ugosample:
I was beaten seriously by my parents, relatives and even neighbours (you know how it was then, when a neighbour sees you committing, and he whoops you in public before your momma finish work at home, lol)

However; I don't think I'm gonna whoop my kids the way I was beaten tho...Smacking is not the only way to correct kids.

And besides, with all the smacking, why is the Nigerian society in a mess?

Do not compromise discipline, but that violent smacking, and pushing and etc?
Won't do it.

And BTW, I still think MJ father was an asshole.

Well, it is down to individual. The smacking MJ got was at the lower end if it was in 9ja in the 1960s and early 70s. Anybody who has kids will know you need a balanced approach.

Remember, for minor stealing in many 9ja cities you can get burned alive, so parents are duly concerned. Whereas in many parts of the West, petty crimes that lead to lynching in 9ja may just earn you a little fine. So your bad behaving child has a better chance of justice in the West. So their permissive nature suits their socio-economic environment.

Regarding our smacking society being worse you are taking a simplistic view. In the West opportunities are far more for the locals even without much education. Also the robust social welfare system provides basic necessities of life. Things that some people steal in 9ja and get killed for. Westerners have also had many centuries of existence as national entities, largely racially and religiously homogeneous for the best part.

Dude, you will be in a better position to judge after you have raised all your kids into adulthood l.

e-hospital, google has been my doctor

Be careful though. Not all health info online are accurate. But at least you can have a rough idea in most cases.

mandy1990:
Land, 50*100 and 100*100, GRA extension, benin city, edo state with C of O for sale and an affordable. 2 flat on deckon level, 3 bedrooms each on 100*100 land for sale. It is affordable and legit. The price is negotiable. Call or wattsapp mandy on 08078591410.

Please add more details to your advert: Like prices, location (GRA extension can be anywhere from remote Ugbor to remote Amagba, Ogba Zoo and farther).

Land matter in that zone can be serious & sketchy information doesn't encourage people.

Not true that serious people will always call. Serious people have many choices & sketchy information is the last thing to attract them.

Add pics of the decking one. Then you will get more calls.

My two cents.

Ugosample:
MJ father was an asshole, that is the principal reason why he had a bad childhood.
There is nothing wrong with being a child star, all the child needs is some supervision from their parents, that's all.

Lol. His father was not an AH. Yes, he was pushy. He was a perfectionist. If not for that early push he would never have become the perfectionist he was. Look back at his song arrangements, lyrics, instrumental, flow/delivery, choreography. All at the zenith of possibility in the arts. It was a blend of immense talent & hardwork/perfection.

I say this because far more African kids suffer far more abuse for just meal & roof over their heads. Most African kids of MJ's generation "seriously chop cane" for flimsy reasons like taking meat from the pot, going off to play football and minor things. Without any level of extra support from parents or guardians, aside the usual ones.
The issue was MJ lived in an environment where parents are vilified for smacking & correcting kids. And Western raised kids use that standard to judge parents.
If same rules were strictly applied in Nigeria, 80% of parents would lose their kids to social services & 50% of them may end up in jail.

We see 9ja parents losing kids to the govt/social services for smacking or leaving them to go shopping & neighbors call the police.
