I can't wait to see the look in the eyes of Chelsea fans when they lose the game tonight. Priceless.

Reports like this just go to show the extent that corruption has infected GEJ's leadership. If the man at the top was half serious about dealing with this issue nobody, let alone aides, would make such demands near the presidency. A pity.

And there is still talk about a transformation?

Facebook has gone public making it's founder Mark Zuckerberg one of the richest people in the world today.

Let's hope Nairaland doesn't undergo another theme change as Seun begins preparing to tow the facebook line.

coogar: and you would agree there are more depraved criminals around now
than the way it was in the 80s when you went to school. nobody
was bringing assault rifles in the 80s but these days, anything
can happen in the school. mobile phones just give an extra sense
of security to the parents.

How would a mobile phone help in the assault rifle scenario you mentioned?

Enter the used games market.

Children under 13 years have no business owning a mobile phone. Parents today are over-indulging their kids all under the name of progress, and as with everything in life, these excesses will certainly affect negatively the growing up process of the children.

I personally know a couple of 9 year olds who have blackberrys with active BIS subscriptions! From the danger that their writing/spelling skills will be compromised especially with all the text-speak that is widespread these days to the fact they will most likely come across media content or subjects that are not suitable for their ages to the distraction these devices pose in themselves, it is easy to see why these phones will do more harm than good to the children.

Nice entry there tayo03us1

Up till now the highest wave I have reached is 27 and that’s in the Resistance map under the easy section. I stopped playing maps under this section for a while though maybe I will revisit Resistance just to beat your record. Under the “insane” difficulty I’m at wave 25 in the Lockdown map (love this map very much too). Good advise there about claymores, I just recently started using them, they are an easy way to take out hostiles but the problem I have is placing them where they are most effective. Put them out in the open and they will be spotted and blown, the best bet is to place them at choke points or corners but there is hardly enough time to plant as many as I want. Oh well. . .
I have been making use of Air Strike lately. With just $2500 and proper timing you can reduce the number of hostile troops and juggernauts drastically in one strike. I find it more convenient than Predator missiles which require you to hide properly before you can use them. Anyways I’ll keep pressing on, want to reach wave 30 on Lockdown before I give this map a rest.

Does Galaxy really have a broadband solution for members of the general public? I mean all I hear about them is that despite the fact that they have appointed themselves as the sole provider of Internet services to govt agencies their services are subpar.

While we are still waiting for an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1 Apple goes ahead and releases another update iOS 5.1.1

I think the scales are tipped towards Munich favor as they will be playing in their own stadium, the Allianz Arena.

Just another way for the FCDA to generate funds, I think. Whether this park and pay policy will lead to increases order in the streets is yet to be seen.

Activision has, in what is now an annual event, revealed the latest entry to the COD franchise – Black Ops 2. The game which is set to be released on November 13 later this year sees Sgt Frank Woods from the previous installment a retired soldier in the future of 2025. . . As is customary with recent COD reveals fans have started their perpetual whining and grumbling about how nothing innovative is being added to the series yet if history is anything to go by the same fans will still spend their money to make this another Activision bestseller.

Honestly I'm just plain tired. Would have preferred if Activision took a break but considering that this is their biggest cash cow and the fact that the present generation of consoles is nearing its end I can't blame them.

It's reasoning like this that keeps the size of our government bloated. Every hamlet wanting a piece of federal action even when it is undeserving. Here's a thought; how about each city harnessing it's own potentials and being the best it can be without FCT aspirations? How about that? No mention is made about how ludicrous the idea is of moving the nation's capital every time. . . or the wastage that would ensue if such nonsense is embarked on.

I know the FBI prolly have some immigrants and suspects on their watch lists, Wire taps and all other methods they employ to check the activities of terrorists. . . But this is what I mean by "There is only that much the Americans can do". .

Before Pearl Harbour, The Americans anticipated an attack, Had the japanese Armed forces and fleets under survellance, took steps to guard against an attack, yet. . . .


My own solution to this "IF I WERE THE PRESIDENT" would be a sting operation. . . That would be aimed at getting the sponsors and not the bombers. But sting takes alot of time to perfect (and maybe that what Jonathan is doing).

9/11, similar story. . . We all heard the conspiracy theories that flew around. . . Still, a couple of Arabs came to the U.S, registered in flight schools across the country and learnt how to fly commercial jets and still succeeded in carrying out their attack. . .

The fact remains that these terrorists have the element of surprise on their side. . They know much more about the government than the government knows about them... Its not like they have a timetable of attacks that specifies where and how. . . The U.S with all its technology has some sleeper cells under surveillance but I can assure you that they dont know all...

In Nigeria its worse. . . No reliable data base of any kind, The armed forces are poorly equipped to fight this type of non-conflict type war. . If it was like the MEND group that had a uniform, a logo, a base and a known area of operation (Niger Delta Creeks & waterways) with easily recognisable targets (Oil installations, Expartraites and Government officials) then they would have had some sort of advantage. . But these NappyHead terrorists have no known target as they up and blow up wherever whenever (both musims and christians alike, government and non-government, e.t.c), no known base and no specific area of operation (today Kano, tomorrow Jos, next Bauchi. . .e.t.c), and the ARMY cant just walk in and go house to house and do whatever it takes to get the job done as this is a democratic setting and the state they are in are not a war zone, howelse do we want this menace to be solved. . . . . Thats what I mean by that.[/quote]@Okija Juju

In the US since 9/11 the measures put in place by their government have prevented any attacks in their country, this goes to show that certain things can be checked.

In Nigeria you say it is worse right? No reliable database of any kind - whose responsibility is that? The armed forces are poorly equipped/trained? Yet we have a leader ready to announce that terrorism will end soon. See where I'm going with this? Anyhow you cut it Mr President is made to look ineffective. Still as I said earlier blaming him for these attacks is ridiculous but one can understand why the uninformed in their fury are quick to call for his removal. Fact is, one is hard pressed to believe that this government is sincere in tackling terrorism. A CCTV project was started sometime last year in Abuja yet some reports have it that up till now it is yet to be completed.If they claim to know the sponsors how come no arrests have been made.(Or maybe arrests have been made in camera and I'm not aware)

Anyways in addition to all that has been put in place till date I hope GEJ stops making remarks that appear to quickly dismiss the threat that Boko Haram poses. There is no quick fix to this challenge that we are faced with, so let's deal with it with the seriousness it requires.

Now are the Nigerian security agencie on the same level with that of the U.S?! Another bomb may not have gone off on U.S soil but best believe me that when the terrorists decide to, there is only that much that the Americans can do. The americans have the advantage of technology and age/time tested investigation techniques. . . What has Nigeria got!?
Forget America, lets go to Iraq that was under U.S Control even after the fall of Saddam, virtually 1 U.S soldier dies od an IED since the day Bush declared victory aboard the USS Abraham lincoln, why is that?! The simple trick being they do not have the same resources at their disposal as they do in America. . And they even had the advantage of a full scale war. .

Nigeria is not at war, the army has to fight these Boko Haram guys without disrupting daily activities as much as possible. How easy do you think it is?! The Boko Haram guys dont wear a certain uniform, nor do they look or have distinct facial features. . You need to think from a broader spectrum and ask yourself how you would have tackled this if you were in charge.[/quote]In other words you say that despite the measures taken to combat terrorism in the US, the Americans are still at the mercy of the terrorists? I'd like to hear your thoughts on that matter.

I however agree that GEJ cannot be held responsible for these security breaches but he isn't helping his case by making pronouncements that aren't backed by effective action. He at one point claimed that he knew who the sponsors of Boko Haram are. . .

Dude sure knows how to have fun despite what I imagine is his hectic schedule.

OK now we will see how effective the cameras they installed are. Identifying the culprits shouldn't be hard.

You use MTN to play online? I'm curious, what kind of MTN service? DSL or 3G? What's the latency like on your network?

Nigerian masses singing to the FG :

~Make that move, right now baby~

Why is Julius Berger in that list? Do they provide electricity to the airport?

You should get a 120Gb PS3 for ~N55K in Abuja.

holamiday: I was at shoprite few weeks ago; ps3 preinstalled with FIFA12 was 115k, preinstalled with one racing game like that 95k & preinstalled with nothing 85k.

Pre-installed? I think you mean bundled. No PS3 comes with games pre-installed. . . and your last line "preinstalled with nothing" is

Sometimes one has to be the grammar nazi.

One down, more to follow.
Good riddance

OP, I recommend Intensive English book 1 - 3 for a start. You will find the lessons there a much needed help.

[quote author=Nwa_Nimo]Sanusi - Your so full off sh.it and you sound more like a 'Zionist' daily.[/quote]Another display of idiocy.

edicolove: NL is full of pathetic egg-heads. A summation of the Nigerian mentality that is holding the country down. What is the nonsense about? So because Nigeria economy is bad crime is now justified? Some are even saying he is a genius for committing a crime. Can you imagine? This was how Ibori stole building materials in London before he became a mega thief. I keep shouting everyday that you all posting here are the problem of Nigeria, not our politicians. You come here and try to justify crime and then complain that the country is bad. You say there is a difference between a 50k thief and a 50million naira thief. Nonsense! The only difference between a 50 naira thief and a 50 million naira thief is the opportunity in front of them.

Can't understand this country really!

The other posters should be ashamed of themselves.

Ridiculous thread.
