DropShot:
May you be cured of your ailment. Say amen.

Sadly, your zombie infliction/illness has no cure.

adexoramo:
can u pls tel me which office Tinubu hold for the past 8years that u want buhari to probe him @melvinjames

So, corruption crime in Nigeria now has an expiry date/period of 8 years? According to which paragraph of our criminal law?

Shine1177:
This is a good development but when shall we see Halliburton, Siemens and Power sector probe? Do we pay EFCC to do one investigation in a year?

Halliburton case is very easy because US have done all the necessary investigation. All EFCC needs is to ask for the files and nail the looters. Unfortunately the named looters are also friends of Buhari. Instead of celebrating arrest of men that will have their days before a judge why not pick a file of a concluded case from FBI and France to do the needful? Oh, I forget, IBB, OBJ, Abdulsalami and Atiku are indicted.

Lai lai.

That will not happen. Just see how OBJ dey do eye service in Aso Rock.

In the book according to Buhari, corruption never existed until GEJ's government. Even Abacha (whose stolen billions of dollars are being returned from abroad) was not corrupt. Because Buhari served Abacha, he/Abacha must be a saint.

His overthrow of Shagari wasn't even due to corruption.

ADwagir:
JAFARU ISAH he is former ADC of BUHARI in military rule

I see. Suspected to have connived with Dasuki to arrest & overthrow him?

What of that deposed Emir of Gwandu, was he not his ADC too?

melvinjames:
Arrest Dasuki's friend and tell Nigerians, you see, he's an APC chieftain.

Who is fooling who? Only zombies would believe Buhari would probe APC members.
Buhari rewarded Mr Corruption (Amaechi) with ministerial position instead of probing him. Ambode told us how Fashola bled Lagos dry yet he got a portfolio, this story is meant for APC monkeys.

I hear APC chieftain. What is his position in APC? Vice-Chairman of NE/NW/NC? APC BOT member?

Who knows if he was a staunch supporter of Atiku in the primaries.

Even if he's a top member, it took a long time. He will soon be released, this is just to hoodwink Nigerians.

This country has too much mago-mago.

Former APC governors with giant sized skeletons in the cupboard should be arrested and arraigned to convince us.

HateU2:
Hmmmm, yeah. I agree. It just kind of brings imagination. U get it?

Sure. Quite normal too.

HateU2:
Yeah, where is d guy looking 4 his missing rib? We are both searching 4 our missing rib

Tor!

My friend will say "ihatago"?

But dear, nor let those sweet pics fool you o. Pics, wedding party, first dance and all na just very small part.

The real koko na after wedding, months n years later. Especially as the kids begin to land.

2dice:
are you for Real?
They are not yet married Op is suffering like diss
U are wicked
Which kid? ...who is the father?
Op if you can't resolve your issue before you marry her don't expect CHANGE after marriage ooo
Na one chance you enter so

You nor tire.

Some women like to downplay serious issues when a fellow woman is the one doing it.

What future has such a marriage? Now without kids the man hardly see her eye to eye. Even when together, no communication.

Na so dem dey.

HateU2:
Chai! This pix dey change my orientation about marriage. Happy Married life guys. Where is my missing rib

Nne/Sista mi, your rib is not missing since you are a lady. Na men sacrifice a rib o. Woman go just give up a rib like dat. For wia. Rather, whose missing rib are you?

Dee60:
Mr Momodu spoke well but i think in a subtle way he had also poured petrol on a small fire by suggesting that the veteran made 'certain demands' which a journalist of 'modest means' had not been able to meet!

Lol.

They are trying to end one war, Dele wants to open another war front elsewhere.

Na wa o.

biilwwu:
Pray for your Brother and his wife,Man is the head of every home, wife is to submit to husband,while husband is to love his wife.

Ol' boy.

The last time Adam didn't do that and obeyed Eve, we all know what happened.

Abi o, all female NLers looking for godly men as husband, or see godliness as important in a hubby, did the Bible not say so?

I testing for selective belief in Bible verses.

EfemenaXY:
It's none of your business how they decide to run their marriage. As long as no one is getting hurt, you should respect yourself and stay clear. Leave them alone. Don't be a home wrecker.

My dear, if your big bros was doing that, would you be delighted?
Be honest.
Because it's easy to tell others to MYOB.

I know, it sounds like the "dog on the leash" hubby that many babes dream of.

Mark my words, soon the same woman will start seeing him as too weak.

Ladies are like that. They yearn for what they don't have in a man.

The lady could have toned it down a bit in the presence of her in-law.

Teempakguy:
One thing we've always been agitiating for in this section is the ladies.

I know, there are no desirable men here. we're all scrawny nerds, but still . . .

I've always Admired female scientists . . . even before i became a main stream scientist, all my crushes were scientists . . . they were also dead people, so . . . i never got to express my feelings . . . thanks.
so I thought to share my crush collection to you guys, right? because that's totally normal.
so, here, I present to you, my crushes in this world, Seven of my most favorite female scientists, The list of the most interesting women in the world.

Emmy Noether
[img]http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/noether.jpg[/img] Hmmmn . . . nice curves . . . sorry, i mean,
Emmy Noether was a female Jewish German scientist. she was both a mathematician and theoretical physicist. She was actually one of the leading mathematicians of her time! She has a theorem called Noether theorem that explains the relationship between symmetry and conservation laws. and hey, Albert Einstein, pavel Alexandrov , and hermann weyl referred to her as THE most important woman in the entire history of mathematics. not to mention her cur . . . sorry, contributions to physics. abstract algebra, topology and mathematical rings.

Grace Hopper
https://www.shorpy.com/files/images/SHORPY_3c11439u.jpg

Okay fine . . . maybe she isn't that good looking . . . to shallow guys.
so this lady right here, is just too amazing. she was both a soldier AND a scientist. she is often referred to as amazing grace. she, invented the first complier, invented the word, debugging, contributed to the development of one of the first high level programming languages, she was a navy rear admiral . . . she was one of the first programmers of the havard mark I computer, she was one of the developers of UNIVAC . . . can i hear a slow clap from there?

Ada Lovelace
[img]http://2.bp..com/-ZA6yTXr7mI0/UMYHMnvnD_I/AAAAAAAACoI/j3-Txr0MRZo/s1600/Google-Doodle197thBdayAdaLovelacePortrt.jpg[/img]

What attracts so many women to computing?
anyway, Ada lovelace, the curvy goddess of computer science, is the first programmer in the world. that's right, you guys in the programming section . . . a lady beat you to it. sorry.
so, she died at the age of 36, a minute silence . . . she was a British mathematician, who is, not only the first person to program, but the first person to design an algorithm. because she's just that cool. she was a countess, and she was also the first person to realize that the power of computers was more than just calculations. she envisioned that they could eventually be used for doing things that can be broken down logically. just like your computer can now play videos. instead of just doing calculations.

marie curie
https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1911/marie-curie.jpg

If you don't Already know this woman, then . . . where have you been? come on! anyway, she was polish . . . and, you know, became french . . . concerning the nobel prize, she is the only woman to win twice, the first person to win twice, and the only person to win twice in multiple sciences(take that . . . Albert . . . )
she died at 66, which is generally a good age, i guess. i mean, come on, you know when Blaise pascal died? even without radio activity.
so, she coined the term, radioactivity, she Isolated two elements, polonium and radium, and she also dabbled into medicine as well, figuring out, miraculously, no doubt, how to use radioactivity to treat certain illnesses! she became the director of the red cross radiology service, and went Florence nightingale on everyone. her contributions will never be forgotten at all in the history of science.
(wipes tears. )

Irene Joliot curie
[img]http://saintssistersandsluts.files./2012/08/irc3a8ne_joliot-curie_1897-1956_c-_1935.jpg[/img]

Notice something? yeah me too. she is the daughter of marie curie.
yeah. so . . . she is also a nobel prize winner. and she also worked on radioactivity. and Oh, she shared the prize with her husband.
anyway, her mother got the prize for natural radioactivity, and she got the prize for artificial radioactivity.
i know, right? i told you the list contains the most interesting women in the world, didn't I? . and her daughter is also a very prominent scientist. talk about strong genes.
unfortunately, she also got killed by radiation . . . (fine, robinhez may have a point. ) but who cares, right? she's still a gem in the field of science.

Alice Ball

A minute silence for our blood sister here. yup, she is a black lady. and she died at the age of 24. so young. so painful. and she has only one picture to her credit. who knows what she might have accomplished if she'd lived longer. just at that young age, she already had a masters degree. and, she developed a treatment for leprosy for more than twenty years. what's really interesting about her is what more she could have done. imagine if Einstein had died at 24.

Sofia Kovalevskaya
[img]http://cdn.ruvr.ru/2011/08/10/1252589782/Sofja_Wassiljewna_Kowalewskaja_1.jpg[/img]

Russians and their impossible to pronounce names . . . smh . . .
anyway, this lady right here, is my most recently discovered female scientist. And she didn't disappoint at all. she made several significant contributions to analysis(calculus is a subset of this.) partial differential equations, and mechanics. she was the first female professor in Russia, she also introduced the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem. not that hard to grasp if you're good in math, i guess. here, take a look. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy%E2%80%93Kovalevskaya_theorem[/url]

So, i guess my point is, what a man can do . . . a woman can equally do. . and we have always learned in science that anytime a woman is involved, something entirely dynamic changes science. and we really DO want more women to come and contribute. because they really can. and whenever they do, they become one of the most interesting women in the world.



Cheers.


1962

Lalasticlala, dominique, Robinhez, johnydon22 and his freecocoa, dekatron, Xploraben, Sirwere, freemanan, Llaykorn, Mathschic . . . and other interesting people of the world . . .

Rosalind Elsie Franklin should be here.

Her work on X-ray Crystallography & virus led to her taking Photo 51. It showed the double helix of DNA structure.
Our understanding of DNA, genetics and related biotech & medical uses were made possible.

She died in 1958, aged 37. From abdominal/ovarian cancer, possibly from too much X-ray exposure.

Her colleagues (Crick, Watson & Wilkins) who worked on DNA with her won Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology in 1962.

ERONX:
Nigerian doctors are heartless

The system actually make them so.

They are employees. Management, usually appointed by govt, state or Federal decides payment.

We need a comprehensive free national healthcare system/service that is free and funded by taxpayer.

UK started it in 1948. When the country was nearly bankrupt just emerging from WW2 in 1945. It was thought impossible but the political will was there. Not richer than Nigeria is today really.

So money is no excuse. Political will matters more.

RockMaxi:

This OP is mischievous, Dasuki the Yam shearer gave Guild of Editors 50million. Is Guild of Editors Femi Adesina personal property.

He was leader of the group.

If stolen good was found in your house, who should be arrested? You the landlord & head of family or your 5 years old daughter?

GEJ is being blamed for things his ministers might have done or failed to do. Because he was president.

Let's forget partisanship. If true, Adesina should not be treated differently.
In fact, it will show GMB is not selective in fighting corruption, even within his ranks.

Ignoring corruption allegations against people in his govt to avoid embarrassment might be politically expedient short term, but damaging long term.

Because foreign media that cannot be intimidated by DSS will pick up on it sooner or later.

Haba! Cowbellically.

naptu2:
It actually existed before OBJ became Head of State. It was known as the Federal Guards during the First Republic.

You're right, I mistook that for another regiment.

I just remember discussing with my late relative who was an army officer with Murtala Mohammed, Samuel Ogbemudia and others in liberating Midwest.

I remember him saying that it already existed in Rome, as Praetorian Guards for Roman emperors.

naptu2:
Guards of Brigade??

I swear!

I thought it was Brigade of Guards o.

Joe Garba, D. Okafor, Mobolaji Johnson, Ogunewe, W. Bassey were notable Guards.

Na wa o.
Lord have mercy.

It happens sometimes.

Return the money.

Ideally issue a check to your company covering the amount.
Done it once before.

I know one guy who didn't and led to a query.

Shehucom:
First it's metuh, now it's FFK, Fayose should also buckle up, We're coming for you(EFCC/APC) . But am not enjoying this, opposition should always v a say

Let people be hailing dictatorship.

Until their own freedom is taken away, they won't realise it.

If however, anyone is truly guilty, let them face the music.

Anyone including APC politicians.

If not, it's witch-hunt and selective intimidation of outspoken opponents.

adconline:
Take the president out of it. A man who's proposing to borrow N2tn to fund a budget with 70% recurrent expenditure-chop money, is with no morals..

People like to politicise everything.

A man who overthrew a democratically elected government, thereby raping the will of the people like Buhari, has the worst moral deficit of all. Ab initio.

He could have resigned from the army and contest for a political office in 1979 or even 1983.

That way, he could legally & democratically seek to change whatever deficiencies he felt Shagari's govt had.
But he took short cut via a military coup.
Con men/criminals also take short cut to wealth.

If you say the short cut was to save Nigeria, conmen also save ill, poor and dying relatives and sometimes even strangers with swindled or embezzled money.

Same moral deficiency.

God help them.

Looks very complicated.

helyngabriel:
Be a landlord this year ..

Happy New year Gbemi.

Like I said I'm asking on behalf of a colleague/friend.

Any chance of sending interior pics here or to email:

area.fada@yahoo.com

We also need more public toilets.

To be sure, Eve caused Hazard in the garden of Eden.

ERAKAMUS:
WHEN WILL THEY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING

Running bawo?

If they were even crawling sef, we for happy.

Fact is these are difficult times for 9ja.

We missed the boat before end of cold war. Western nations took us more seriously then.

The whole of Warsaw Pact nations were quasi out of Western economic sphere of influence.

We need serious foreign investment to create jobs.

Even though we have a large pool of human resource, we have too few technically trained people compared to Turkey, India, China, etc.
FDI in 9ja is mostly in sectors where short-term gains are attractive. In case of political/economic instability, foreign investor withdraw their money quickly.

Even after research into the skin colour and looks of 1st century AD Jews shows they were not white blonde people, Africans still following slave master instruction. Nawa o.

Some will soon come and say it doesn't matter how he looked like.

If so, why not make him look like Dim Ojukwu, Bola Ahmed Tinubu or another dark-skinned African?

Some frustrated attention seeking, swearing trooper venting their spleen on people offering their opinion. Na wa o, men dey suffer sha, to go marry this kind one for house.

It seems Doveda is the only Einstein on NL. Anyone who has a different opinion is either mad, slow or has curse rain on him or her. Would your family be proud of this your foul language here? Smh.

Atigba:
No not a crime

She should go and ask her same sex for help not oppoiste

Ah! For money matter girls no dey give easily like that o. They are culturally programmed to receive. They can buy heaps of shoes and make up. But give money out to non-relatives, very hard. That's why I respect ladies who give to charity like Tehn's here.
