TravelRe: Is Interstates Road Travel At Night Safe In Nigeria? by blackmann(m): 10:34pm On Jul 15, 2013
[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

If you want change, effect it. Obviously, they wanted change so they left the country for the mad people to take over, that still dont mean they dont feel bad for the few, good, innocent people that are forced to suffer along with the insane, tribal, bigoted ones. They have every right to complain. I know ppl on here that have NEVER been to Nigeria but feel passionate about it and complain based off of Family stories and what they read.... u want those ones to move to Nigeria too?

Help urselves if you think you got a problem.
[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.

[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 etc
Is 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.

Continuity at the expense of democracy.
Those that poster above knows what he is talking about?.
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.
PoliticsRe: Hamzat In Pole Position To Succeed Fashola by blackmann(m): 1:47pm On Jul 09, 2013
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.

If you know better qualified candidates, why not suggests them since it is very obvious to even a 3 year old that every ACN candidate will be labelled a "Tinubu stooge" by you "damned if you do damned if you don't" thinkers. Perhaps the ACN should go and get their candidate from the PDP to satisfy folks like you that their guber representative is not a "Tinubu stooge".

The man qualifies professionally, academically and by virtue of being one of those who has worked closely with Fashola in an important portfolio as commissioner of works and infrastructure. Yet all that does not matter to you guys. Only to rant and invoke the name Tinubu when you cannot actually question the professional/academic credentials, directly relevant work experience and suitability of Hamzat.

Can any of you show, focused on merit and not your ALUU-style lynch mob proclivity, that Hamzat is not suitable to replace Fashola?

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.

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.

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]
CelebritiesRe: Celebrities Who Died Of Drug Overdoses And How They Died by blackmann(m): 3:03pm On May 03, 2013
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.

[b]Initially, it was reported that Wayne was in critical condition after suffering seizures and had to have his stomach pumped when doctors found high amounts of codeine in his system. Weezy suffered a number of seizures back in October
 and later told MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway that he was on medication
 to treat his condition.

Wayne has also spoken in the past about his well-documented addiction to syrup, the name for a concoction of prescription-strength codeine cough medicine and a soft drink. Syrup has a long history in the Southern hip-hop community and is blamed in the deaths of both DJ Screw and late UGK member love-vendor C.

The combination of a possible genetic predisposition and an addiction to syrup could be enough to set off seizures, according to Privitera. "Promethazine [one of the active ingredients in syrup] can trigger seizures in someone who is predisposed," he said of the drug, which is found in combination with codeine in prescription-strength cough syrups. "It has a non-specific effect on the brain and there's a complex interaction of chemicals in the brain that some of these drugs can interrupt."[/b]

From what Wayne has said, it sounds like he's on medication to treat the seizures, which Privitera said was good news. The problem, though, is that it's hard to tell with someone like Weezy if it is the predisposition to seizures that is kicking in, or if the promethazine is helping to trigger them.

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]
