Hmmm. Apparently something is amiss here. No slights or insults was intended in any of the OP's post or mine either yet it draws bitterness from some. Let me clearly state here that insulting anybody or group of people was never my intention. I hold no grudges against the Yorubas or any ethnic group for that matter.

It will be a pity if the differences noted in food preparation is see as some form of denigration. Posters who come to this section usually do so in goodwill and in good faith, nothing is gained by starting e-fights and hurling abuses about. Abi we wan turn this food section to insult arena?

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=846721.msg10010677#msg10010677 date=1327093243]^^i believe you meant to address the op and your fellow whiner.

did i go to igboland and start complaining about the food there?

some of us even tried to help the poster and show him what he did wrong [didnt i post photos], only for some losers to jump in and try to act ignorant.

if you cant eat food you're not used to, then stay home or go and marry somebody who will cook the food you want.

dont start whining everywhere when nobody dragged your leg to where you are.

not to mention you're too lazy to cook yet are still abusing others who do.[/quote]Why the venom? This thread was started in good faith yet you insist on seeing it as some kind of affront. Again relax, no need to get yourself all worked up.

Mogidi:
The same people who supported a pastor buying a jet are urging the president to fly Air Arik.

Una no well.

But seriously where do people dig up rumors like this?

Tom Ford:
What does the poster mean by 'the only university in sao tome'?Are there not others or could he have meant the only private university?I find it hard to believe there's only one university in the entire country

E be like say you don miss road o.

@topic
Good for him. @Haters; Is it your money? These days any wealthy person who opens a business must a member of The Cabal and they must be stealing our money, abi? It is amazing that even those who don't pay tax or NEPA bills will join in claiming that it is our money. Abeg let the man be and enough of this nonsense.

What is diet abeg?

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=846721.msg10006311#msg10006311 date=1327053883]The whining is getting too much plz.

If you cant cope outside your village, then do us all a favour and stay put there.

I guess oyibo spitting in your food is preferable.[/quote][quote author=tpia@ link=topic=846721.msg10001360#msg10001360 date=1326991013]^but you would not complain if you saw italian or meditteranean food with olive oil everywhere, right?

abeg make person hear word.

and do we see any complaints about americans/europeans and cheese?

colonial mentality at its best.[/quote]You apparently see this difference in food preparation as some kind of attack on your person or people. Such an outlook is not the best for your nerves or your stomach for that matter. A little relaxation will do you a world of good.

A little tip: this thread and indeed this section is a feel good section not one where tribal hatred holds sway so don't take things here too seriously.

Chic whizz - a sandwich from Chicken Republic!!!

Henry120:
@akwasi, the nigerian army carries a made in nigeria AKM, a mordernised version of the AKM. [b]The nigerian secret service user tarvor-21 and it is by far the best intelligence service in africa. [/b]What do you guys have in ghana?
@ thize, there is no doubt that the south-african military is the best in africa. nigerian military photo's are hard to find, but judging from defence budget @ 2-3 billion dollars over the years, only a small fraction of countries, lets sy 2 or 3 ( south africa, egypt) are better than nigeria. With this years security budget at over 6 billion dollars, you can't tell. The nigerian military has all the equipments shown in your photo's including made in nigeria APC's and a made in nigeria survillence drone ( amebo-1).

So using a Tar-21 automatically qualifies an intelligence organization as the best? Na wa o for some brains o.

Besides how can you honestly say that the defense budget which runs into a couple of billion $ yearly is used correctly and not siphoned away under over inflated contracts.

The thread should make NL history by being the first to be removed from the homepage.

Soon word will spread that the 24 hour deadline was not issued from the presidency, that it is completely untrue and unfounded. Just you watch.

More like shame on your expectation that the world stand still for Nigerians.

I'd be surprised to find children today watching Nigerian TV when there are a dozen foreign, and I daresay, more entertaining stations out there. I grew up watching NTA and RSTV just like the OP described but when the better packaged foreign stations started becoming available me and my friends all made the switch. Those were the golden days. I think that with the way the Nigerian TV stations are run they will continue to have a hard time competing with the foreign ones.

@Maclatunji

Did you really come up with those rules at 13? They say it takes 10,000 hours to be really good at anything so you should have a zen-like aura about you by now.

Interesting development.

Shouldn't this thread be filed under Education or Family?

How about from side to side?


What kind of reasoning is this? Corruption can be fought effectively when we all do what is right within our respective areas of influence. We need not be involved with government to fight this monster. This is something all of us has had a hand in raising so why should it be any different in bringing it to a stop?

As if we don't already know.

Was the coverage on CNN and Aljazera not enough for you guys? What did you expect, a 24 hour Nigerian Protest Special?

Get real.

Hahaha. I can easily relate to the plight of the OP. This was one of the first culture shocks that I experienced when I first moved to Lagos - oily meals! How people enjoy such meals remains a mystery to me till this day. Thankfully I found restaurants that prepared meals the way I like around my 'hood.

^ Ah so you are a fan of The Dude. It has to be the funniest movie of all time.

^So what should we pray for, that the terrorists come out and confess?

After this futile drama is done, who will probe the legislators about the bloated pay package that they receive?

If only Google went ahead and blocked out its search bar then the protest would have been given much depth.

cynthiafred67:
Too much money, look at how fat and shaples that one looks, they need to buy him a gym joor. *Smh*

Player hating are we?

werepeLeri:
Soldiers had been on the streets of Jos, Maiduguri, Abuja for so long? Whats the big deal if they are on the streets of Lagos?

Soldiers were not deployed on any streets in Abuja; they are only at the gates of the Hilton and Sheraton.

iykak47:
My biggest lesson is that Nigerians value fuel more than that human life, they can protest over fuel subsidy removal but overlook the menace of boko haram.

Pray tell, how have Nigerians overlooked the menace of Boko Haram? Should they take to the streets on this matter too?

^ And apparently he sold out on the hope that this time around things might have been better.

Maximip:
Although I'm not a gamer like that but i'm kinda into games and i must say I'm utterly utterly impressed with Batman: Arkham City. The
adventure is not very restrictive and gives you some good independence. The combat is so damn interesting.

Won't mind recommendations for similar unique games.

How are you not a gamer but is kinda into games? For recommendations try the Batman prequel Arkham Asylum or any of the Uncharted games( if you own a PS3). They'll provide you with hours of fun.

Long One:
Apparently, you know your onions, lol. There was a rumour it would be released on Xbox 360, don’t know if this has been done yet.

Some rumor indeed. Try imagining Halo on PS3 or Gears of War on the wii.

^How so? It will be quite a while before the petrol prices climb. What else could possibly try the masses as this? Please share your suspicions.

freecocoa:
As I no understand the purpose of this thread,wetin I suppose do now? Na today dem don dey misuse words?

Sometimes our unconscious use of language brings to focus certain underlying issues. This is deep.

Its high time a certain jeweler - and I don't mean Jacob - clears the air about these allegations. Or is his silence to be seen as an admission of guilt?

Nice write up, OP.
