Well i've never met any offline but i've spoken with one on the phone. I had a lot of friends that were "yahoo yahoo" guys so i can smell scam a mile away.

OP lets have a skype chat but my cam doesn't work

Goddex: Punch and Nation lie alot. I'm very disappointed in Punch in particular the way it now lacks standards and integrity.

How did you come to the conclusion they lied? Mr president visit was a surprise yet the owner of Channels knew about it?

karl max: what of what channels tv who were on ground and reported what GEJ said and I quote "Apparently responding to pictures of rot in infrastructure broadcast by Channels Television, a visibly angry president queried the authorities of the college on the state of the institution.

He promised to change the tide in the college saying that his government

“Will do something about the institution”, the President vowed.

The chairman of Channels Television, Mr John Momoh was present during the president’s visit.

This is the first time a sitting President would be visiting the Police College built over 70 years ago" I still stick with what channels reported and not the failed on arrival propoganda of paid critics.

Another question, If it was a surprise visit, how did John Momoh know of it? The newspapers also reported that the president asked the provost of the college some question what are those question?

Insincere Nigerian
Thisday, Guardian and Tribune did not report anything GEJ said during the visit. Is it that GEJ did not speak at during the visit or those newspapers decided not to report it.

Techwriter: Is ones ability to speak English fluently a proof of literacy? Most Chinese can't speak English but they invent things that marvel us. Attending NYSC is also not a road to success. Emphasis should be placed on productivity not fluency in a foreign tongue

Dude stop thinking like the "half baked graduates". The official language of China is Chinese while the official language of Nigeria is English.

If you can't write proper English then i wonder how you are going to teach those kids to do so? When you start applying for jobs one of the requirements you would see in most vacancies is the ability to COMMUNICATE. There is no fashion in writing so if you want to write in English, write it well else stick to pidgin.

mZ sleeq: I went 2 visit a friend of mine todae and she was conplaining about her ordeal with one of the teachers in her school.the both of us are currently serving in calabar,and I've been followin this issue since wen she met the guy. this one isn't super story
She moved into the accomodation her ppa provided her exactly one month ago in the barracks.she needed a painter,so,while askin around,she stumbled on dx guy,he looks young tho ,cos I've met him couple of times.little did she kno he s a senior ranking officer and married,nd he doesn't stay in d same barracks as she,he also played dumb.he introduced her to a painter,so in the course of her settling down,he has a car,so,he usually took ha around 2 the places where she would get home appliances and evritin she needs to be settled.as she is new 2 calabar.
After my cds today,I payed her a visit and she told me that she realised the guy is married 3days ago wen she started seein a ring on his finger,(the wife travelled to her village and just came back.that's the explanation for the ring)and she realised that his wyf is ha superior(cos my friend is an assistant classteacher).and he won't stop paying her visits and calling her.
She said on a certain day,even before she realised that the guy is married.he came,she opened d curtain,saw it waz him,and she went back to ha slip.she woke up and stikk met him dere.cos she warned him b4 den 2 stop checkin on her.I waz shocked!!!

Now,my friend is saying if the guy doesn't stop disturbin him,she would go and report him 2 his wyf,which is her boss.it that advicable?

OP Do what your heart tells you... All those people who are saying a xtain cannot be unequally yoked with a Muslim are the Pharisee Jesus was talking about in the parable of the Good Samaritan.

davroca16: Apart from the fact that ur not going to be the first, second, or third wife, the holy bible is not in support of that....

where in the Holy bible was it stated that a christain cannot marry a muslim?

Volkswagen Santana

Guk: No matter what, there will always be arguments for and against and either side will stick to their guns no matter what.

In our arguments; theories; postulations, etc, we should also consider the following (1) Budgeting i.e to Provide a forecast of revenues and expenditures. (2)Accounting/Stewardship of monies spent (3) Charging: Recovery of cost. Cost + (profit) or Cost- (loss) or Cost = (Breakeven)

Taking a look at the Special Duties perceived Humongous provision for Chop Chop should be placed alongside (1) How it is funded? from Loans; IGR;or Charging (2) Is the Chop Chop appropraite or needful? & (3) Importantly, do the Agencies under the Special duties earn more than enough to fund their budget?? From perual, there are about 6 of them that are serious income generators for LASG & ultimately for the benefit of all Lagosians. LASG makes a lot of Money from PPP; LAMATA; Number Plate printing as it going to make billions from producing new number plates between now and september by when all cars in nigeria must have changed to new number plates and unless i am corrected, it is only that LASG company that is producing number plates for FRSC.

Objectivity and a holistic approach to discussions will be appreciated

Nice write up.

2Legit2Qui: Your own definition of public accountability is winning at elections. Very excellent. Of course I am not a bright fellow when compared to you.

Point out where i mentioned accountability in the my post?

2Legit2Qui: Great. So everyone should shut up then, no need for accountability because so long they are looting and they appear to be doing something, and the people are not complaining, then everyone out there should keep quiet. Good for you. I love your reasoning. Honestly, your reasoning will win you an award. Keep it up. Excellent.

You are probably not a bright fellow so i will say it in Pidgin? No body go win election if him no dey popular..
Marwa looted in Lagos but the people of lagos still love him!!!!

When i have an ex i'll know

2Legit2Qui: dumb

Democrazy is government of the majority. If a Governor loots his state dry, as far as the people like him, he will win elections.

What was the point of this thread 2Legit2Qui? Please don't say transparency or accountability because the owner of this thread has nothing to do with Lagos.

thelastPope: Of course they do if they are registered but you shouldnt refer to them as if they represent all Lagosians. Even in the last elections where Fashola was very popular and overwhelming, PDP still got over 200, 000 votes. Not to talk of now when ACN has lost several LGAs and Councils and people are angry!

If elections were held today in lagos Fashola would still win. You might not like Fashola and you are justified to do so but this thread and most of the ones created by this OP as regards Fashola has being pointless.

Mr President, economic reforms are not easy anywhere in the world stop giving excuses and start working... this is 2013

jmaine: Like i said . . .We shall be waiting for you at the other end . . . .


P:S ====> The part in bold was another funny attempt by you . . . .

Please tell me what was the point of this thread?

thelastPope: Which Lagosians on NL? You mean the ACN touts and agberos here? Many of them dont even reside in Lagos and dont pay tax to Lagos state, like Demdem. He is an impostor. I am a tax paying Lagosian with a valid voters card!

ACN touts, area boys et al... They are still Lagosians and i believe they have a right to an opinion and vote.

thelastPope: Which Lagossians are not complaining? Did you do an opinion poll to know what Lagosians think? Or are you just talking crap online? I am a Lagosian and I am complaining right now! I pay my tax. I am sure you have never paid tax in your life! I pay for both myself and my business! You are talking nonsense!

HOw can i pay tax, i'm still a toddler. Conduct an opinion poll here on nairaland and see how many lagosians are complaining.


PS When Demdem complains about GEJ i don't think you remember he pays his tax!!!!.

jmaine: Fuuny. . . .Absolutely very funny . . .Okay ooo !!!!!

What is funny? I know people who like their mothers and hate their fathers.
I don't get the point of this thread. The OP lives in Enugu, if elections were to be held in Lagos today his can't vote but those whose are eligible to vote are not complaining so what is the OP, lastpope et al trying to achieve with this thread?

thelastPope: It has shown how the 30 billion monthly IGR is being squandered while you pawns try to distract everyone away from your looting by crying FG! FG!

Lagosians are not complaining about their governor so why are you crying for them?

thelastPope: This says it all!

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF (page 446-448) - note multiple upkeep allowance
upkeep and maintenance allowance = 63 million Naira
maintenance of guest houses = 36 Million Naira
upkeep and maintenance allowance = 67.5 million Naira
Entertainment = 225 Million Naira
special duties = 6.5 BILLION Naira
Miscellenous = 117 million Naira

What has this thread achieved?

kutchs: If Lagosians are not complaining pray tell me why they should complain about Jonathan‘s FG.

GEJ is their president or is that too hard for you to understand? I can like my father and dislike my mother.

You can like your governor and hate your president and vice versa!!!!!!

thelastPope: A very successful quest and a successful thread indeed. This is how threads should go! Bookmarked!

Now that you have seen it what are you going to do or what have you achieved? If Lagosians like their governor, it does not matter if he loots or not they will still vote for him.....

romanlaw: LAGOS STATE IS THE FOCUS FOR NOW, because OF THE MANNER IN WHICH EKO ILE AND COHORTS STAKES THEIR BLOOD TO DEFEND FASHOLA AND TIFNUBU. ALL OTHER STATES ARE ALWAYS ON FOCUS ON DAILY BASIS AND THEIR INDIGENES JOINS HAND TO CRITICISE THEM, UNLIKE YOU GUYS THAT CAN DO ANYTHING TO COVER UP FASHOLA.

Why would i take panadol for another man's headache? If Lagosians are not complaining about their governor, what is the business of outsiders?

Sincere 9gerian: Now we'r making little progress.

Thanks @thelastpope...and other patriotic commenters for keeping the fire of TRANSPARENCY and ACCOUNTABILITY in governance burning on this thread.

Thanks @chidexy...for helping us bring to the fore information relevant to the issue at hand.

When are you going to open a thread for Enugu state?

Dude people like me are making money.... So paying divorce settlement makes one responsible?

franchizy: For a benefit of doubt, His Excellency Dr. T. Orji have rehabilitated and constructed 80% of the major roads in Aba. He also empowered and engaged many youths of Abia state in skill Acquisations and ve so far created 20,000 employment for Abians.
He constructed 3 free health centres in each of the Local Govt. Areas in Abia state. There is a water scheme project going on in all the Rural areas in Abia state as well as construction of modern primary and secondary schools across Abia state. Gov Orji is d only Gov who increased teachers and civil servants salary with prompt monthly payment of salary.
During the last meeting of the South East Governors, our able Gov Orji was voted the best SE Gov of the yearm
I think all dis useless comments and accusations are just a distractions. His Excellency wil always remain focused and never listen to criticisms. The PDP led administration in Abia state under Gov Orji have realy brought Abians to the promise land. I urge Abians to support the good works of our Able Gov and messiak His Excellency Dr T. Orji.

Bia Nne Chiwendu, help me pass that local gin under my bed make i shak small.... Franchizy dey make me laugh

[quote author=baby_123]Whose face did you see the most at home? I know my own mum sef had to give up some shifts for us and scale back on her work load, while my dad did the real hustle. Nigerian men also frown at all that mushy stuff. They say its a "woman's" work. By all means if you can provide as much care as the mother can, do so. But the kids will still have to spend time with their mum. i dont think they will think too much of you if their mum is living in squalor and you and new wifey or babe are living lavish. I wouldnt even want to see or live with such a father.[/quote]My mum worked 8-2 my dad worked shifts so i saw my mum more but then i vowed never to marry a teacher so my Son won't have to go through the pains of seeing his mum on holidays.

[quote author=baby_123]In the Nigerian setting, it is difficult even for a woman not to talk of a man. You spend at least 2-3hrs in traffic alone. What time do you have? Kids are being raised by househelps. We are talking about Nigeria here. Except you sef are planning to be a stay at home daddy.[/quote]My parents both worked 5 mins away from the house. In Nigeria, its only Lagos and may PH that this 2-3hrs traffic affects. Then again won't the traffic affect the woman too?

ferhyntorlah: Please help me tell him and others. Sweets things dey do plenty damage for body; bitter things do the opposite.

This is fallacy.... Diabetes is caused by sugar found in carbohydrates not cubes of sugar.

[quote author=baby_123]Very very easy to say. With the help of nanny and all.[/quote]Isn't it funny that you think a single woman can take care of the kids but a singe man can't?
