Sometimes, I do drive with my shoes on. Bur there are shoes meant for driving anyway.

exxell: OP, please what do you mean by this statement above Was that a typo or you are adding salt to injury

Sorry, I don't work with Fidelity Bank, only have friends there.

[quote author=Table Leg ]Why did they sack you guys?[/quote]Sorry, I don't work with Fidelity Bank. I only have few friends who were affected.

Why linking ban of firecrackers with ban on Okada or other traffic laws. It has no connection in any way. No one has ever criticized the ban of firecrackers in the state. Fire crackers has always been banned every Xmas season, and no one complains. So why if our governor Fash linking the fire incident to criticism from the opposition on other socio-political matters in the state.

If firecrackers are still sold in our country during festive seasons, I think the government has failed in her responsibility to protect and to screen every item that is being brought into this country. To me, looking for the importers are way over board, the Nigerian customs should be sanctioned in this regards.

This is to all recently sacked Fidelity staffs, please take heart, and prepare to start something new in 2013, this is an opportunity for you to jump start your ideas. Fidelity have sacked you, but they can stop your moving forward. The sack is not the end of the road or life. Pray and plan well, and soon the bank will beg you to be their customer.

It is quite a sad news to end 2012. I don't know why they had to give people sad news during a season of rejoicing. Our leaders and managers are just the same. Early this year, the best new year gift from the government was an increase in fuel pump price, now our managers in the corporate world have followed the trend.

Well, I wish you well, and may God guide you all into your glorious future in 2013.

This driver should have been sacked because traveling further to PH from Owerri at that time of the day despite warnings from the passengers? I think it is a set up by the driver himself, he has a share in the loot and he should have been investigated. If ABC did not do anything about it, then people better stop risking their lives boarding ABC to any part of the country.

I will buy RIM in 2013, watch out and say Amen

bigmaut: Thou say d lord i cannt be mock!Ayo Go & sell yur private jet & donate d proceed to d poor.

Lead by example. Go and sell whatever you have first and donate the proceed to the port, maybe that will challenge the pastor to sell his jet. Hypo......

koikoikoi: This is just camouflaging.Let him donate private jets to the poor and less privileged.

GO AND GET A LIFE. YOU ARE JUST DUMB AND NUMB

musKeeto: Great move. He has to make friends before he joins them.

I've been expecting this dumb comment and unfortunately it came from you. I just want you to understand that every one is responsible for his or her comment, apparently, out of the abundance of the heart, speaketh the mouth. Your comment only goes to show that even the mad man in the street of Ajegunle is far better and valued than you. Pray that your hopeless soul will not end up there before the end of this year.

tbaba1234: I was thinking of starting a thread on the strangest revert stories, I guess id just put them here:

i. First guy to comment on an Islamic youtube video, debates with muslims on youtube for pages and pages. Similar to some Nairaland guys. All of a sudden, there was a break... The next time, he was heard from, he had taken his shahada. Why? He said that he read the last sermon of the prophet on mount Arafat. He knew the prophet could not have been a liar. Took his shahada, became muslim.

Don't give up hope on people. The strangest people can become muslim.

ii. Atheist, fond of going to religious (muslim) events to debate with the speakers e.t.c. Once he went to an event where a sheik (can't remember the name now) was speaking, as usual he gets up to address the speaker. The speaker gives him a gem from the Quran that stumped him. He wanted to prove it wrong so he kept researching and researching to prove it wrong. He couldn't. According to him, he literally submitted in the real sense of the word.

Even the most obnoxious people could also see the truth.

iii. Gang member, gets into a fight with his mother... runs to the library because he felt that was the only place the police will not look for him. Picks up any book to read from the shelf, He happened to pick a translated copy of the Quran. In the library, He read the whole of the Quran and according to him : I was not reading it, it was reading me. He took his shahada and became muslim.

Allah guides whom he wills, even the worst of the worst can be guided.

iv. Wall street woman from Japan, walks to a muslim store where a muslim man was playing the recitation of the Quran . She was enchanted by it and asked : what kind of music it was?. Man tells her it was the Quranic recitation. She asked where she can get them. Man directs her to the store, she goes there, picks a copy of the translated Quran. Reads it, takes shahada. She quit wall-street and became the principal of an Islamic school started by Nouman Ali khan.

Allah is the best of planners, Nothing happens accidentally.


v. Another man from wall street, reads up on the Islamic economic system and take shahada. Didn't listen to a long lecture or read the Quran. He said that the Islamic system is too ethical not to be from God. That was all.

Allah has given us the best way to live our lives ethically... Some of us do not even acknowledge the favour.

vi. Christian youth minister, studies the bible in hebrew. Too many questions unanswered by christianity. He lost his faith in christianity , once he went to the mosque, took a copy of the Quran. All the dots were connected for him, all the things he read in the bible finally added up. He took his shahada. He is currently one of the famous proponents of Islam in the US.

Sometimes, all you need is a proper intellectual study to become muslim.

More stories to come, InshaAllah

Allah has given us the best way to live our lives ethically... Some of us do not even acknowledge the favour.

Mr. Poster, I refer to your paragraph above.

Note: the Bible answers all questions about humanity and how we should live our lives according to the WILL of God Almighty.

I don't know where you got your " so many questions unanswered by Christianity". One thing I can tell you is that God doesn't want us to go about asking HIM questions, HE only wants us to believe in HIM. The Bible says that "whosoever believeth in the HIM shall have eternal life" so what answer are you looking for again? What questions are you asking God?

Just believe in GOD and you will have peace in your mind and peace will be upon this earth, violence will stop, love will flourish for we exist and live everyday by HIS GRACE, no man can live on his own.

emiye: it is easy to criticize, May the soul of the driver RIP, but why evade arrest from a law enforcement agency ?, can he do that with a police man ?. Those LASTMA take laws in to their hands most times simply because motorists rarely respects them, i think it is high time they are given guns possibly with rubber bullets.

I don't envy those doing the LASTMA jobs. I am a realist, how do you enforce arrest with a stubborn driver ?, if not with force. I saw an incident last week, where a huge driver fought vigorously with FRSC team in a bid to evade arrest and tried in a road site court.

You sound very silliy and visionless with your comments. Anyway, any day LASTMA is armed with weapons and rubber bullets, the first victim will be your relative so we see how you will react to this, then you will know that even rubber bullets can kill at close range. Your suggested solution to problems are dumb and very silly, please get some leadership training and stop showing us how ignorant you are.

Are you telling me that there are no other strategies that can be employed in arresting drivers who violate traffic rules, must it be by strife and end in death? As we all know, uniformed men in Nigeria are all over zealous and totally inclines to monetary extortion, that is the only motive behind an officer trying to take someone's vehicle by force. Please those officers should be properly screened and re-orientated. A lot of agberos in LASTMA and this poses a big risk both to drivers and passengers of commercial vehicle.

yuzedo: Ridic!

A young sheeple to the gloray of tha pastor.. Halleluuuu!

Young Sheeple, tell your parents to stop investing in someone else's business & instead put money away for your schooling so your pastor won't charge you N1m per semester in years to come after sinking in all your savings & tithes to build the school!

Talk about: Their prophets didn't see that one coming!
Good one LASG!

You never fail to amaze me, I can see how dumb and silly you are with your comments on NL. you simply are nothing but a hypo whose sense of reasons has been stripped, trashed and flushed down the drain.

Pls all gsm service in the northern part of Nigeria should be shut down,

d, you wan use juju take collect am back? Abi na Okija thing you go use, or you go just kill the debtor and collect the money back.

This is the handiwork of BH, he crash must be properly investigated oooooo. I suspect it's a bomb activated crash.

No matter what happened. It can never justify violence. Big Brother Amplified Star Karen Igho was a victim last night as she got slapped by a security guard at the Smirnoff Midnight Circus party last night.


Read her tweets below and see for yourself:

@Karen_Igho: Wow I got slapped at a smirnof party, by a security guard!!! is it because I’m a woman?

@Karen_Igho: He loaded his gun and put it to my face at the car park, Said he will shoot me if I don’t give him money..I said I didn’t have. He slap me!!

@Karen_Igho: Now my face is swollen and I’m in pain!!

@Karen_Igho: All I wanted to do was to go support my friend @DENRELE_EDUN who hosted the event

@Karen_Igho: Wow I got slapped at a smirnof party, by a security He loaded his gun and put it to my face at the car park,he wanted money and I didn’t have any on me then he slapped me.still in shock and pain

@Karen_Igho: I feel abused and hurt

@Karen_Igho: The slap sent me landing on the floor and hitting my head

@Karen_Igho: My team are on this

@Karen_Igho: Called my lawyer

@Karen_Igho: Even my father has never slapped me like this and the loading of the gun to shoot me wow am in shock

@Karen_Igho: I know I have a good heart but I won’t let this go with out fighting for justice cos he might do it to someone else

How sad! And some people on twitter to my surprise, deemed it fit to mock her despite the incident, especially ladies.
I wonder what Nigeria is turning into if we now rejoice over violence. Over someone’s pain and sorrow. *sighs*

THIS IS A CASE OF ATTEMPTED ROBBERY, ABEG LEAVE THE SECURITY GUARDS ALONE. CLUB GUARDS DON'T CARRY GUNS, MUCH MORE THREATENING ANYONE WITH IT.

tampa1871: These guys ingenuity is highly commendable, my only problem with them is FULL DISCLOSURE, they should disclose to customers that these engines are REBUILT and allow them to make a decision whether to buy Tokunbo or their REBUILT engine. In western world, rebuilt engines are as good as brand new. I'm glad these guys are doing these. Even, rather than buying a new engine, why not rebuild what u have.

The issue here is this,

1. do they still sell the rebuilt engines at the prices of the original aluminum engines? Or they sell it cheaper.

2. Are they rebuilding the engines with criminal intent or just to make the engines affordable to people who can't afford to pay the 350k for the original toks engine. Mind you all, we are talking about toks engine here and not brand new as I have seen some comments.

3. Do the engines work perfectly after installation or develops issues which are total unsolvable?

This is my take, I think they are only trying to make the engines affordable, but if for reasons otherwise, it is criminal.

If we can find answers to this questions, then it means that since we can rebuild engines here, then we can actually build a car as far as we input legitimate ideas and full disclosure of contents and intents.

Cars that come from china are assembled with parts from different parts of the globe, the chinese man don't come out to tell you that the engine is half cast iron and half aluminum, they only tell you the engine is good and can last for you.

I think we should explore the positive side of being able to rebuild an engine totally rather than criminalizing it.

I have seen where the Chinese refurbish 3.5 liter Nissan Diesel engines, couple it with brand new radiators, and exhaust system and alternator to make up a 18KV generator, and they sell it and it works very well and they give you warranty on it.

ANYWAYS, BUYERS BEWARE. CHECK WELL AND ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BUYING ANY EQUIPMENT IN NIGERIA.

olas2u: The real engine of growth is small scale businesses and they dont borrow them money.Most businesses dont spread or go beyond Aba or Nnewi,lagos,kano because they dont have support which is finance to grow.

Yes, you are right. With SLS new regulations, banks find it difficult to give small unsecured loans which sometimes are fast catalyst to business growth and turnover, won't blame SLS on the banking regulations too, our Nigerian businessmen are funny with money too, once you loan them money, they first buy a luxury car, marry a new wife or send here children abroad. Loan recovery becomes very difficult. But back in the days, banks were taking the risk, and as you know amongst every 12, there is alway a judas. No pain, no gain. No risk, no growth. I think the banks regulatory policies should be overhauled to allow credits and I believe with proper evaluation of customers loan request & business plan, loans can be recoverable.

agbari socket: Igbos have noting 2 offer than criminal mindset.they don happy 2 robbed nigerian without proscution but they will be kill 1 by 1.lagoos arrested 4 animal igbo 4 robbery burn them alive serve foolish tribe right

WHO IS THIS UNFORTUNATE RETARD? Where in the universe did this slowpoke emerge from. I pity his family and generation in his lineage. This pathological being is pathetic. PLS NL, GET THIS TRIBAL MONKEY OUT OF HERE.

olas2u: But do you really think the banking jobs in Nigeria are normal working hours?And what about the way the ladies are treated?what about small businesses?Can you get mortgage?

Well, for now, the banks are not doing well for sure, I think they have not been creative lately, just recycling very old ideas. If they can think, they. Will stop treating ladies rudely by setting unachievable targets. When a bank has good agenda and products and services, customer friendly services, customers will naturally come in. SLS should be working with the banks in that direction.

REVOLUTNIS: Sudan

SLS went to Sudan to study economic boko haram. That is why you see lots of job explosions in he banking sector resulting in total loss of jobs, hopes, aspirations, dreams and careers.

Yes' indeed, Nigeria is the biggest fraud mankind ever would see,mark you, I'm not being a pessimist, but the fact is that , Nigerian is a hopeless land.

Please, is his car still available? Can I pay 600k for it?" I can pay on inspection if possible tomorrow.

tobechi74: I have noticed that ptotestant now use rosary. some of them hang it round their neck .others keep it in their pocket or handbag. One actually gave me her own rosary to give my priest to bless it for her. of course, I refused

i met a guyonline and he told me He prays the rosary but quickly added NOT LIKE CATHOLICS . he said he replaces the MARY MARY PART with Jesus. why is this so?

You are a big lier. Protestants will not use rosary to pray. You may be right if you say it is a catholic worshippers who sometimes attend church service with the protectants. I doubt if a core Protestant will be needing rosary to pray. Please post reasonable topic next time. This one is a complete lie. I still see some Catholics who have converted to protestant, but still keep and pray with their rosary anytime they feel like.

Mujitapha: Jews are devils, a day will come when u will reap wat u sew.To the hyprocrites symphatisers of jews, u too are devils,may Allah punish u all.

Thunder fire your behind there for making that silly dumb comment. Do you have any sense in you at all. Oh, I see you are a Muslim, I'm not surprised, Muslim and Islam are always associated with violence, death, murder.

When Hamas terrorist were firing rockets into Israel, did they thing they were in the Olympics? Let them continue to fire more, and Israel will double pound and wipe those Muslim sluts out of Gaza. Nonsense.

You think say na that nonsense whey boko haram dey do here? You never hala.!

This is total fraud, scam, MTN should hide their face in shame, they are not even good at the scam they perpetrate. EBUBE ESSIEN, Garrick what a name.

Name ibo girl, her mum married Erik man, and she come marry Mr. Garrick an English man. Please genealogist, where are you guys, MTN just exposed their scam mediocrity.

shymexx: I won't mind ghetto-gagging the chic, she looks cute..

PLEASE WHAT COMBINATION OF NAME IS THAT.

EBUBE ESSIEN GARRICK"

??

How much for the 3GS ? What is the memory.?

otokx: The most painful part is that for all the billions of dollars made there is nothing on ground to show for it, majority of the billions is still spent in the white mans land adding value to their economy while they are destroying the ecosystem of the Niger delta in the process.

Don't mind silly government with silly statements. Guys, we have surely lost our country and I can see that we may not be able to redeem it. Trust me. If you say we can, how? How can we redeem this country that is irreversibly plagued by fraudulent government officials.
