My dad haggles harder than my mum. It used to get tiring watching them going back and forth agreeing on the cost of stuff. I do it myself but definitely not a pro like my folks.

A very good lesson in resource management.

Stretches the money far.

Why work hard for money and use "bigmanity" to give it away easily?

bettercreature:
He is right,i would have sacked JEGA but sadly jonathan was one of the weakest president we ever had

In a jungle, being gentle is called weakness. Weep for Naija.

flyingsnail:
Another heavy lie from APC propaganda government,You cannot deceive all Nigeria.

Nigerians want to hear about job creation,Power, Fuel (pms) etc

Tell us about Nigeria Market not a fallacy market in UK

Watin concern us with UK street market.

See yesterday Headline and you are telling us rubbish

Fuel Scarcity Bites Harder, Petrol Now N400 Per Litre - Punch

Liers ...

You nor bow. If I didn't know about the market, I would believe this funny story.
How many people are employed by that street market?

It is Nigeria shop owners and some other foreigners that will have less money.

That could mean a slight reduction in the $12 billion dollars Nigerians abroad remit to Nigeria yearly.

As for UK's $2.945 trillion economy, no dent at all.

We should focus creating jobs and increasing our GDP per capital to increase disposable income and reduce poverty.

Instead of putting sophisticated measures in place to fish out corrupt money, we also chose the lazy and poverty-creating blanket ban.

State governments too lazy to introduce safety measures for commercial motorcyclists just did blanket ban.

No consideration for ordinary citizens.

Yes of course.

Just be in pay roll, hospital or IT sections, etc.

ALISMILE:
Wailers will always be wailers. Any attempt
to satisfy them will further lead to more
wailing. Instead, stand on your guard and
stand your ground always.

Well, a wailer now buying petrol for 140 to 200 per litre has a right to wail even louder.

We the wailing 5% cannot stand akimbo and watch people blame GEJ because they cannot get "attention" and their Mrs is unhappy.

About time people start delivering what they promised. Blaming GEJ is a tired excuse now.

PRYCE:
Ok now! Seems the dullard's gay!....

Can one explain why EL-RUFAI's always in Aso Rock?

El-Rufai is the unofficial VP, main special presidential adviser & currently most influential member of Kaduna Mafiosi.
They managed to give SSG, ADC & Chief of Staff to Northerners. In emergency, those are key positions.

We saw how Gen. J. T. Useni was outmanoeuvred by those present in Aso Rock when Abacha died. Even in democracy, with a gun to your head, you will renounce right to succeed as president.

The tension between him & Osinbajo is due to that.

El-Rufai sees himself as the rightful GMB's successor. Osinbajo is obviously an impediment.

IceDude:
"Skirt and Blouse"......Chai Nigerians?

Next na coat and tie.

otimothy:
i know what it means in edo as an edo dude however davido na edo fellow? kinda confused

I don't know about Edo connections.

But remember that many Edo people disappeared into Yoruba in Eastern Yorubaland (Ondo/Ekiti) & to some extent in Lagos.

One consequence of loss of Empire in 1897.

Also, we hardly consider maternal lines when talking of tribe/ethnicity.

You belong where your dad belongs. Who knows if he has any maternal links?

otimothy:
imade used to be the name of that gorrilla for UI zoo that year,make him change that cute baby name joor.

It's a cute name.

In Edo it means "I didn't fall", "I'm spared humiliation" , God stood for me", and along those lines.

Freemanan:
Them nor dey finish?

You wonder how many kingpins, queenpins, chiefpins and commonpins Boko Haram get sef.

We know propaganda is important in any war.

Let's wait till 31/12/2015 to see if Boko has gone into cblivion.

Ok o.

Na 3 for the price of one?

PussyFucker2:
Nigerians celebrating because they got a new job ??

Here in France, we don't work at all. Everyday is Christmas.

Mr Toyota the Pilot is a good brand, its v6 is more powerful than the 4 runners or highlander v6, the fuel economy is not different from sequoia or tundra. Just tell the bros that u have 500k instead of condemning the ride.

Well, oga rich man help me top it up na.

Add 500k to "my" 500k and I'm sure Mr. Komek won't reject 1m if offered.

Since you claim expertise, is it everyone who drives on the highway to need V6?

What is the point of "power" if you're stuck in traffic gridlock daily?

Have you not asked yourself why Highlander V6 of same year & quality costs more than this pilot?
If you have too much money to dash, go ahead.

I heard even Dangote is a hard bargainer, maybe one of his secrets.

komek:
U have really tried, but 700k does it bro.

Mr Komek, good day. You seem like quite a gentleman.

Let's leave it at 660k.

My Calabar neighbor Etebong was

I ron pay my rent na DOG MEAT.
Everything i do na DOG MEAT
oooo, na DOG MEAT
Oh,Na DOG MEAT oooo...

You dey crays!

teebaxy:
Pls what is the role of osibanjo in this government, is it not better for him to be a minister of justice than being A mere VP. My thought

Joke apart, I think we need an erudite & articulate person like our VP in the presidency.

GMB should delegate a lot more media & international jobs to him.

But those around GMB like El Rufai might not like it, because it could potentially make VP appear too powerful.

As if he actually runs the govt like Tunde Idiagbon appeared then.

But they need to find ways to use his talents properly.

musicwriter:
Who knows how many cases that happen unreported in other parts of Nigeria.

Something is definitely wrong somewhere.

If we think science as a people, the FG or state governments or all the other government agencies should be conducting a research by now trying to figure out the reason for this surge in fallen containers. The haulage companies too.

Could it be there's a new fake bolt that've been imported and it's not screwing well on containers?.

Could it be drivers are over-speeding now that the Apapa-Oshodi expressway is repaired?. (In Lagos for instance).

Could it be there's a new inflow of substandard container that's not of the right weight, screw size?.

Or, could it be just because more people have access to camera phone these days and can report news of the go?.

Could it be..................

If you say "yes" to any of the above questions, it becomes a "hypothesis" and you can pick it up from there to find solutions.

Clearly, these are questions only a scientific inquiry can answer, not regulation. You only make regulatory laws to checkmate this and other problems when you already have an answer to the cause of the problem itself.

My friend which planet are you from? In 9ja who get time for science & research? How well funded are research institutes these days? Are talented scientists, engineers not working in banks or roaming the streets jobless?

And many in academia not just enjoying juicy civil service perks, out of indolence or frustration?

I regularly stumble across top quality research conducted at Uniben, IU, ABU, OAU, UNN, etc back in 1970s & 80s. I'm amazed by the quality of it, highest level then. Be it in malaria & other infections, child & maternal health, you name it. Even sociological & entertainment/cinematographical research.

Hard to figure out how we fell so much behind.

No, in 9ja, millions of common people can die, nobody gives a hoot.

We're not ready to make progress yet, not ready.

StephanieEzeh:
In my 100L in school, I caught a guy in my lodge sniffing my panties. I promised to report him to Papa (the caretaker) but he started pleading that it was the devil's work. After many hours of pleading, I allowed the matter to die. Throughout the short time he stayed in the lodge, he wasn't comfortable. He never dared look at me in the eyes and he would always feel embarrassed when with other lodge mates and I happen to show up in their midst. I know he would be thinking I had revealed it to some people in the hostel He didn't stay till his rent expired; he packed out to live with a cousin of his at the other side of town. He always avoided me on campus. I pity him sha; he was just silly

I think this act is not only disgusting but shameful! Most guys do it at the slightest opportunity they get! I don't know what they benefit from such!!! I wonder the type of sexual pleasure they get Perverts!

You caught one guy sniffing your druss and you say MOST GUYS do it. Haba! I know English is not our native language but still.

So if one day one sights a coursemate doing olosho in town, can one then conclude that most girls can't wait to leave classrooom to do olosho about town? Diaris Gurd o.

Maximillian1:
Choi...90k People dey lie sha

Maybe concubines and all come out to claim widow once an officer dies.

Some with a healthy appetite for ladies can easily have 10 women each.

Is it not easier to tell us the number of officers who died?

Soon they will say there are 1.5 million orphans of police officers.

Niger Area na wa.

nice

imas:
I agree with you, except on point no 4, who asked you to pay tithe ?

Jet-setters. They need it na.

walexsy:

Lol, not killing for ritual again but for spare parts. Na wa o.

Very exciting sha, wish I was there seeing it when it was done.

Neatcarsonly:
Nothing to fix..

OP, are you so far from the car that you cannot post engine pic here?

denkyw:
enough of the promises, e done do biko, the once you have promised is it it's been denied or impossible to fulfill. IF YOU WANT TO SHOOT, SHOOT DON'T TALK.

My friend you nor tire. Na talk dem dey since March.

Continuing the rail project is good.

Elsewhere, Fashola wants to continue ongoing projects too.

But that also means that the man they criticised so badly was doing something worth continuing.

Sure Amaechi will want to take credit for the comatose rail system GEJ revived.

We the wailing 5% won't just stand akimbo.

Wish them good luck.

Still waiting sir

NoMoreTrolling:
how is this a round peg in a round hole?

What does Fashola, a lawyer, know about power plants, substations, transmission lines...?

The darkness of Nigerians will never make this country progress, I tell u.

Just look at all the illiterates on this thread

A lawyer becomes in charge of Power and someone says it's a round peg in a round hole, msg

God I don't mean to question u, but sometimes I do wonder why you made me a nigerian

Dude, I'm a proud wailing 5%. But in serious climes, your profession has no bearing on the ministry you head.
Doctors almost never head ministry of health. A prof or teacher never or rarely heads education ministry.
Nigeria is such an abnormal place, hence emphasis on profession.

A minister is the political head, supervising the ministry to deliver the party's political manifesto. The technical/professional people are in the ministry as civil servants or consultants. The noisemaker GMB called them is not really far from the truth. Only that the empty barrels make the loudest noise.

Fash rightly deserves the "Super Minister" I have always said here on NL he should be made.

Can Fash finally break the electricity & bad roads jinx?

If anyone can, he's the man.

Ttalk:
To whom more is expected to him more is given. Fashola representing hard working people. This is a sign of preparing him for presidency position if he perform in this onerous task, of which i know he will not disappoint.

Fashola my mentor, carry go

The guy from Daura knows that in serious countries, Fashola should be president now.

I always said here on Nairaland that Fashola should be "Super minister", and that's what he is now.

Fash has a chance to show what he can do nationally. 2023 Fashola presidency loading........

chinchum:
25 ministries for 36 ministers

Nothing wrong with that actually.

Certain rotten ministries can do with a minister and a minister of state (MoS).

The MoS can be given a specific role within the ministry. Like to ensure refineries are working within a year. That will be his singular focus in the Ministry of Petroleum for now.

Same can be done in Defence and Works ministries for Boko Haram & bad roads respectively.

komek:
With 700k we will be good to go.

Let us meet half way. 650k sir.

Thanks.
