[quote author=Mr knowitall.]Is interstates road travel in the night safe in Nigeria? Can one travel from Lagos to lets say Anambra by road in the night and not worry about armed robbers or kidnapers? Can one travel from Ibadan to Abuja and not have to give a single naira to the police? And are the roads safe enough to travel at night? if you know the answers to these questions please answer them....I plan on doing some traveling around...[/quote]Pally, if you know you value your life, don't try travelling at nite in Nigeria. Not only are the chances of being robbed high, but you might end up being unluckier if the policemen you report to end up arresting you as a "suspect" or even the DPO being the leader of the robbers. |
kingoflag: So, you want the people that got a good life going for them elsewhere to go back to Nigeria so that the crazies amongst yall who dont want any change can frustrate their lives? Lmao[b]Dude, everyone has his/her opinion about things. I lived in Nigeria for most of my life and have had the privilege to live out of Nigeria too, so I know what I'm talking about. If you take your time to study the mentality of Nigerians home and abroad as regards to Nigeria, you will know what I mean. Many of them, as you said, left the country because they wanted change. Now that they have achieved that "change", they open their mouths on FaceBook, Twitter, and even here on Nairaland that Nigeria is a failed state, and the only way is for us to split up or cause a revolution to remove the current leaders who are destroying the country. The angle i'm coming from is how many of these people suggesting such drastic measures can actually sacrifice their comfort in foreign lands to come and lead a "revolution" that will make Nigeria a better place? How many of them can come back and effect the changes they suggest? They will rather run commentaries from behind their computers, saying things that they can't even come out to do. [/b] |
[quote author=la_unique]That's d problem. Crying out and insulting our leaders on the internet alone will not change anything[/quote]Exactly. But that is what 90% of Nigerians are good at doing. And I'm not talking of only home-based Nigerians. those in the Diaspora are even worse. I keep asking people that instead of running commentaries from abroad, why not go back home and make a change? Many Nigerians are just good at making noise. GEJ is this, PEJ is that, Rueben Abati is a bastard, Labaran Maku is GEJ's dog, but tell them to suggest ways and actions to make things better, they will run away. |
kaorama: Majority of Nigerians are not Muslims, therefore one should expect some level rationality and not extrimism that seem to drive some muslims. Nigerians are highly tribalistic and this started with the founding fathers like Bello and Awolowo etcIs this the best you can offer? Religion? Is that the myopic nature of ur thinking? @OP, my own view is most Nigerians are just good at making noise but to take that action, they will prefer to hide behind their computers in the safety of their homes and comment and insult others. We just complain about things but at the end of the day, we just adjust to the situation. |
Fasting here in the US is not easy, but SWT will make it easy on us. We must eat Sahur by 3:45am and ifthar is usually by 8:25pm. What makes it difficult is we are in the middle of summer where temperatures can reach as high as 103F(39C). May Almighty Allah make it easy for us. |
solomon111: I just dey laugh.Answer this simple question dude. If you, as a person want to vote and you have a candidate who has proven himself in the few years he has governed, and you have another person whose party has proven time and time again that they are just a bunch of rogues who don't have the good of people at heart, who would you vote for? And what the blazes are you too talking about? Are we not in a democratic era? Continuity at the expense of democracy indeed. |
Gbawe: You guys are simply amazing. This is a chap who has worked with Fashola for several years and is an outstanding intellectual and technocrat. Yet all you allow yourself to see is the name Tinubu. Na wa sha.Guy why waste your well-earned and polished intellect on the likes of these people who see nothing good in Continuity? In my books, if someone does good, he or she must leave a legacy and try to make sure that such good continues by working with people with the same kind of calibre and credibility. I can bet you these same set of scalawags and pessimists who see nothing else but the bad, who call the glass half-empty instead of half-full, who see everything as Tinubu or "Muslim vs christain" will still come here to complain if PDP wins Lagos(which is highly and very unlikely, the chances of chicken growing teeth are much higher). But hey, that's what you get when every Tom, Patrick, and Harry has access to internet these days. Dont waste your bandwidth jare. |
jackbauersballs: Meanwhile...Glory be to God on this most joyous and glorious of occasions...a day where he has deemed it fit to bless my hustle...and crown my posting endeavours with pole position on this threadNow we all know things have really gone out of hand.....the rate at which this is going, I can bet my Xmas dinner that by the end of the year, some of the people's new year resolution will be to be "first to comment" |
Justice Nuhu Galadanci ordered that the two convicts be hanged by the neck.As Opposed to....what? |
mikeywise: where in my post did i suggest freedom for those charged for capital offence?Dude, take a chill pill. I didn't say u mentioned freedom for those guilty. I said spared, and when i said spared, i meant spared the death penalty. Don't be so arrogant. |
mikeywise: Na wao, so they have not abolished capital punishment? this is 2013 ooooAnd so? If someone commits a crime punishable by death gets the death penalty, because we are now in 2013, that person must be spared? In that case, let them release the likes of Reverend King and if Shekau is caught, he should be given a mansion as a prison cell. |
[quote author=Okija_juju]?Forgive my profanity but she looks like what my people will call a Jungle Akunna So if George of the Jungle movie had an Ashawo in it, she would be dressed like this. So if Flintstones Wilma ever became a hoe, thats the attire she would wear.. So if this was the casting of the part of Jungle hoe in a Tarzan movie, this is what she would be dressed like in the movie.. [/quote]I laugh in "George of the Jungle" |
etenyong: Am not surprise, maybe he is one of the millionaire's or politician Son in the country.. Where would an ordinary person who just finish skool get dat money carry undertake dat kind project. Anyway thanks 2 him. But no need 2 broadcast. why calling other corp members to emulate him wen d dont hv d resourses.Even though, he still went ahead to build a school, did something for a community, and all you can see and deduce is "he must be a son of a politician or millionaire". I'm sure this project didn't cost him less than a million naira. how many of today's so-called "millionaire" or "politician" children will do this? They will rather flaunt their money by driving expensive cars, chase gullible girls and attend 200k a person parties and VIP clubs. Let us give credit where credit is due and stop all this myopic nonsense of assuming what is not. |
U just dey know? |
When you mentioned exotic i was half expecting to see maseratis, mercedez benz, etc., only to see EOD. Exotic my nutsack. |
caukerzee: You Baboo! Get your ugly ass of my face i am not your kind. No be my fault say u fail maths for waec. From 2003 to 2013 is what? Idiat.Abeg forgive the guy. Na JAMB and WAEC withhold ihn maths and English result. |
To be honest, are prisoners still being executed in Nigeria? The last time i heard someone actually being executed in the country was more than 10 years ago, when a bunch of thieves were shot at Odogbo military cantonment in Ibadan. |
As a CIVILIAN president of Nigeria, is he supposed to wear the uniforms of the Armed forces? |
Hajia Memuna Adama Shaibu, the very strong and meticulous mother of my wife. You didn't live to enjoy the fruits of your labor. You were taken away from us barely a month after our wedding in that Dana plane crash last year. I just want to say your two daughters are doing very well. You have a lovely grand daughter from your first child(my wife) and another one is on the way from your second daughter. Happy mothers day to you mum. Rest in peace in Almighty Allah's bosom until the day we meet to part no more. |
safarigirl: Nlers are funny. She is a nuisance whose thread has reached 2 pages in minutes, meanwhile Agbani Darego, the role model's thread still dey page 1. The nuisance you all just love to read about just so you can bash her....honestly, she's neither of the two, and a little of both. TONTO DIKE is TONTO DIKE. Case closed!That's what you get from 21st century kids. And we begin to wonder why the failure rate of JAMB and even the quack nature of graduates these past few years is high. |
She's a role model to some and a nuisance to others. Just as the likes of Asa Akira, Jenavieve Jolie, Mr Marcus, Tommy Gunn, Gianna Michaels, and Abella Anderson among others are role models to some people here in the US while others like Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Condolezza Rice, Hillary Clinton, Steve Jobs(RIP), Susan Rice, etc are role models to others. Everyone has his or her own role models. |
Does this guy actually know what TREASON means? Just another excuse for incompetence. |
Can't these guys be arrested and tried for treason? |
50calibre: First the Hudson crash involved a large airbus and that of Tenerife was as a result of poor air traffic control, same thing could have happened regardless of who was flying.[b]Please try and re-read about that Tenerife disaster again. It was more of pilot error than the fault of the ATC. - There was a bombing at Las Palmas Airport and as a result, most traffic was diverted to Tenerife. - The Pan Am aircraft was ready to depart, but the KLM plane and a refueling vehicle obstructed access to the runway. The Pan Am aircraft was unable to maneuver around the fueling KLM, reach the runway and depart due to a lack of just 12 ft (3.7 m) of clearance. Captain Veldhuyzen van Zanten(the pilot of the KLM plane) had decided to fully refuel at Los Rodeos instead of Las Palmas, apparently to save time. The PanAm crew radioed the KLM pilot but he chose to ignore them and hung up on them. - The refueling took about 35 minutes. The search for a missing family of four delayed the flight even further. By the time the plane was ready, a very dense fog had covered the airport and visibility was very very low. The PanAm plane taxiing behind the KLM couldn't even see it. - Due to communications errors, the Panam plane didn't leave the runway at the exit assigned to it. - The final nail in the coffin was the KLM pilot didn't wait for ATC clearance before beginning his take-off roll. The PanAm crew had radioed to the ATC that they were still not clear of the runway, but due to some technical errors, the KLM plane didnt recieve the message. The pilot didn't wait for clearance before beginning his roll, even though his co-pilot specifically said they had not been given clearance. So, my friend, everyone is prone to mistakes, not only women.[/b] |
Lil' Wayne almost kicked the bucket too some weeks ago. Wayne was visited by Drake, Birdman and Nicki Minaj over the weekend while Young Money president Mack Maine blasted TMZ for writing stories suggesting that the MC was near death.Source - http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1703830/lil-wayne-seizures-cause.jhtml |

50calibre: [b]There is nothing wrong with a woman being a pilot, I just prefer she is next in command to a man rather than being the one in control. Call it ignorant if you want but it's just something Im not a 100% comfortable with and if you think that's sexist, then look at the major airlines around the world, you would see a pattern.The whole idea about this is not too many women go into training to be a pilot. There are several successful female pilots in the world, but like they say "they are women in a man's world". Even if she's the next in command, it still boils down to the same thing - she is a pilot. Do you know that the captain doesn't really fly the plane? Most of the time he oversees what is going on in the cockpit. The Co-pilot is the one who most of the time takes off and lands the plane. The rest of the flight is normally taken over by the autopilot. So even if she is under the command of a male, she basically is the one that flies the plane while the captain monitors things. Please have a look at these links if you have the time.[/b] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3EuN_TbXmM http://www.military.com/video/commercial-aviation/civil-aviation/pakistans-all-female-flight-crew/1799211345001/ |
50calibre: Another Igbo doing exploits. But to be honest, if I enter an aircraft and i find out the captain is a woman, I'm disembarking immediately. if I don't find out, then cool. Ignorance is bliss.People like you are very ignorant. What is wrong in a woman-pilot? Are they not human beings? So in other words if you find out mid-flight, you will jump out of the plane? You are just sexist, that's all. |
Havilah93: so una wan die for field abi?I tire for dem oh. See as dem dey roll on the field like say dem papa die. Na small pikin dey do dem. |
econity: You are right. He who laugh last think the slowest.I will sue u for plagiarism. |
dragunov: wow wow! Bros. It seems you do not get the main gist. This thread is not an opportunity to run by the mouth. Just learn to digest whatever you read before reacting.That is why i wrote the part highlighted in red. With the way Nigerians behave and act these days, you can never know. i read the post. Or probably, sarcastic was not the right word. blackmann: Is it USA's fault that the Nigerian government cannot tackle terrorism? Is it USA's fault that Nigerian govt cannot take care and protect it's citizens from these maniacs called Boko Haram? Is it USA's fault that the Nigerian govt prefers to give "amnesty" to a set of barbaric maniacs whose crimes amount to treason? If you are not being sarcastic, i suggest you lay your complaints elsewhere and stop whining. |
