[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=657047.msg8232010#msg8232010 date=1304128354]since when did Latin America become a country?[/quote]Was going to say the same thing too. As you already pointed out the writer probably wanted to boost Nigeria's ranking even though its understandable.

Why are people complaining about the 5 million naira? The government has said that this is a token gesture, its not (and there can never be) a complete monetary compensation for the lives lost.

You people are getting ahead of yourselves with all these future political permutations. Its a solid 4 years before the next elections and a whole lot of things can happen before then. Our immediate concern should be that the present crop of politicians perform effectively to move the country forward.

All such talk about how the political landscape will look like in the future is a distraction to the serious issues of governance at hand.

^That happens then quickly expect him to declare chapter 11.

Is the OP assuming that all single moms are as a result of women having kids out of wedlock? There are also other circumstances such as death and divorce that lead to this situation.

kreamstaff:
yeah its so true, i think there should be greater respect as well for single dads, cos they had the chance to RUN but didnt.

Didn't like Red Dead Redemption. I had the game returned because I don't like sandbox games.

Where did you dig up this kind of story?

Hot s3x eh? Did she mean hot as in temperature?

Amazing!

All this talk of rail projects here and there gathering steam will remain hot air till the projects are commissioned and functioning.

Since when did ekt_bear join the Romance section?

Post #64 Musiwa!!!

So far none of the predictions have come true, Ajanlekoko has attempted to change the course of destiny of a NL thread with his predictions

^Give it a rest. I am Igbo and I don't share your views, besides this issue has been closed hasn't it.

Ajanlekoko predictions just gave me the laugh for the day. Nice one Oga.

all this talk about how the airport will generate revenue and provide jobs are a bit funny.
i doubt anyone is denying it.the question i whether it is the best use of resources at present?
are there not more pressing issues on ground?
after building an awesome airport, if the roads and road transport situation are not addressed,what is the end product?
to me it seems the state of roads in lagos and the lack of a road transport system that would decongest the roads of a good portion of the cars clogging it is a must for this govt if lagos is to become a mega city.

i don't buy that argument of the govt will do all simultaneously.
the funds are not infinite and four years is not a very long time.
as it is MMIA is slightly manageable but the roads in lagos and transport system are not manageable.

finally, this govt really needs to execute projects that will directly impact the poor.


all these talk of Lekki free trade zone, we don't want another Tianapa on our hands o!
the govt should look well before leaping o!

In other words there should be no plans to cater for the state's long term future because the present is demanding enough eh?

Some people will do well to read this thread from the very beginning, that way they'll not sound silly making pronouncements of disapproval without logical reasons.

The concern of many people here is that by embarking on this type of project means that no attention is paid to fixing roads, improving education and healthcare but that is not the case. Those other project are ongoing as stated but this is a move to ensure that the future is also taken care of as well as the present.

Kobojunkie:
^^^ Did you yourself bother reading the other posts and maybe stepped back a bit to consider that since we now have 4 years of reports to show us a great deal of the results of what we have been working on, if continuing on the current path is in the best interest of ALL in the state, and not just the few that benefit?

The path embarked by the Lagos state government is not going to yield immediate fruits the very next day but in the long term its their best bet. Would you rather that the government not embark on projects like this? People complain that attention is not being paid to the basic necessities with such projects but they are silent on how sustainable funds can be generated to cater for the said necessities.

Yeah I have taken a moment to consider and this still is the way to go if you ask me.

BP probably hadn't joined NL when his hero Beaf was very pro MEND and pro militancy. I wonder what he'd have thought of him them.

^ Apparently you didn't read any of the posts here, especially ekt_bear and eko ile's. Your post is what I describe as shallow thinking.

I never had much luck trying to get my friends to listen to classical music back in my university days, they'd always complain that I was trying to get them to listen to Tom and Jerry music. But I think classical music is such a [i]beautiful beautifu[/i]l form of music. Almost unearthly if you ask me.

Pachebel's canon in d gloria in excelsis deo oliver twist reviewing the situation anything handel mozart

Thats nice. I can't seem to get enough of Pachebel's canon, its such a timeless piece. Bach's Preludio and Felix M. Bartholdy's Allegro Molto Appassionato (I came across it from a violin collection CD) are also some of my favorites.

Its good there are folks on NL that can help people here broaden their outlook and do away with short sighted thinking.

[quote author=Musiwa, link=topic=661111.msg8275199#msg8275199 date=1304779360]what nonsense road are you people talking about. where they keep on telling you about lagos and ibadan road. an old road, they increase the number of road in their own area. they keep on building new road.

that is one trick they use on yoruba people. when yoruba people complain, they tell them about old lagos and ibadan or even lagos and asaba road. please note that the lagos to benin road is mostly used by igbo people. and not yoruba people.

The only road that is important in yoruba is from ijebu ode, ijebu igbom oke igbo, ondo, akure, ado, kabba to lokoja. It cut across yorubaland diagonally. it cut across many yoruba town and cities. than any road in yorubaland. And you can go there, it is untared road. that is the most important road in Yoruba. It is not the Lagos to asaba, only igbo people use the lagos to asaba road. Yoruba people hardly use it.

If you have not constructed the ijebu ode , ondo, akure, ado ekiti lokoja road, you have not done anything for yoruba people. even the lagos to ibadan road have very few yoruba town connecting it.[/quote]This dude is something.

So the case to solve the murder of Princess Adesuwa is still open.

Hasn't this issue been cleared already?

SOG is killing me here. Some mothers really do have em. Funny thread I must say.

I must say I don't think I would have acted any differently from the other passengers if I were on that plane. Their "discomfort" is understandable. Islam as it is now has a lot of image laundering to do now.

Nobody should hold their breathes waiting for GEJ's airports to materialize, na self asphyxiation be that o.

Another good move for Lagos.

^What the irony of the entire situation or the decision of the passengers to fly without the imams?

There should be a law against all these arrogant statements by so called religious leaders. Where the heck is the pastor now with his dubious prophecy? The amazing part is that some clowns will still flock to such people tomorrow in search of spiritual guidance. Pathetic
