There is this HUGE urban redevelopment project proposed for PH called the "Greater Port Harcourt City" project, and it's going to forever change the face of Port Harcourt. This project will further boost the economic importance to the east, and finally provide an appropriate environment for multinational corporations to operate (that are close to the fields). In the next decade, PH is going to be seeing some major changes.

Nairaland and facebook are two totally different website that have totally different functions- why are they being compared??

This is just sad, this guy went from studying at UC Davis (one of the best universities in California) to living as a transient in a forest. I am really interested into knowing what exactly happened to him in the summer he came back from school, people just don't go mentally unstable for no reason.

Transient charged with setting blaze 6 days before Station fire

Officials say they're still investigating whether Babatunsin Olukunle, a 25-year-old Nigerian national, may have played a role in the massive Station wildfire as well.

A man sought for questioning in the massive Station wildfire that killed two firefighters has been arrested and charged with setting a smaller blaze less than a week before in Angeles National Forest, authorities said Monday.

Babatunsin Olukunle, a 25-year-old Nigerian national, appeared briefly in a Pasadena courtroom and pleaded not guilty to the felony charge of setting a fire Aug. 20 on U.S. Forest Service land.

"We are going to talk to him about the Station fire, but we're not going to list him as a suspect [in that fire] just yet," said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. Liam Gallagher, who is leading the arson-homicide probe.

The arrest comes as officials announced Friday that the largest brush fire in Los Angeles County history had finally been contained -- a full 52 days after it started.

The blaze burned 160,577 acres and cost an estimated $95.2 million to fight, according to authorities.

The fire broke out Aug. 26 off Angeles Crest Highway near a ranger station north of La Cañada Flintridge.

While officials have determined the fire was deliberately set, they have struggled to develop solid leads pointing to the arsonist.

Olukunle was arrested Thursday collecting recyclables in Lancaster, more than a week after detectives announced they wanted to question him. It remains unclear what role, if any, he played in the Station blaze.

Law enforcement sources familiar with the case said that investigators so far have firm evidence only that the transient set a small fire six days before the Station fire.

That earlier fire occurred at mile marker 36 of Angeles Crest Highway, approximately six miles from where the Station fire erupted. Like the Station fire, the earlier blaze was started off Angeles Crest Highway during the afternoon.

Two Forest Service employees who spotted Olukunle setting the first blaze ordered him to stay put while they extinguished the flames. But investigators say he slipped away into the woods.

Detectives received several tips about a transient walking up and down Angeles Crest Highway for several months before the Station fire. Detectives believe Olukunle was that transient.

Olukunle's family has told investigators that he came home from UC Davis for summer break in 2007, began acting strangely and disappeared in July.

He was arrested in November 2007 in Redondo Beach for "illegal camping" and in April of this year he was placed on a 72-hour mental-observation hold by authorities in Crescenta Valley.

How lucky the two of you are, hope you enjoy your trip and take lots of pictures!

LWKMD!!!!

yeswecan:
The protester at the far right is disgusting. She shouldn't have done that, it's lack in dignity.

I wholeheartedly agree, she looks like a fool.

How could someone try to terminate a baby after 7 months in the tummy? That's fucking sick, if she succeeded then your wife is a murderer.

EDIT: Just read the entire thing, WOW!!!

NO COMMENT!

Why do you go around throwing out numbers that aren't true? The HIV/AIDS rate in Nigeria is below 5% dumbass.

It's funny how you only concentrated on that one part of my post and not the rest. . . .says a lot. . .

I'd say Egypt.

Chicken!

While some Nigerians are hustlers and can be loud and in your face, underlying that is a self-confidence rare in Africa, and an abundance of traits necessary for success. When South African criminal gangs were roasting immigrants over bonfires, the only group that did something about it was the Nigerians.

Near Witwatersrand University, as the mobs approached a residential area populated by Nigerians, the West Africans didn’t hide or run. They emerged with AK47s and told the South Africans that they had every right to be in South Africa, because they fed, housed, educated and gave critical diplomatic support to the ANC and other anti-apartheid groups during their struggle. The South African mobs fled.

Wow, there are seriously too many money hungry individuals preaching in the name of god. . . hellfire awaits them.

Krayola:
Tell his wife she's not doing her job.

Give him 2 blowjobs every 24 hrs
Lick his testicles and toes

Give him some boombastik sex

Problem solved.

(then you say something after it that makes sense, like "is" or something so we can make somewhat of a never ending sentence)

You guys are messing up the game, read the first page please!!

^ I know how you feel. Sometimes when I get into debates and have long winded responses, all of a sudden they just disappear; I get so friggin pissed!!!

Don't pay any attention to our guest, europeanshit. His ill conceived "arguments" have been countered with facts multiple times in this forum. He has been avoiding a thread where his argument was destroyed once before (now locked); it would be a waste of your time to argue with this inbred caveman. Let him bask in his ignorance and obsess over us- the people he hates. I don't hate european, because for me to hate him, I would have to fear him; hate is born out of fear and I have no fear of this spineless computer warrior.

He should be more worried about his own cavebrothers and sisters going extinct as opposed to whats happening across the Mediterranean.

oyinda.:
well, who are you to complain about how many syllables are in their names when you are nigerian and god knows how long your name is.

oyinda.:
so everything really is subjective. some things that make sense to them doesn't make sense to us and vice versa. our names will sound primitive to them while their names will sound ghetto to us. it's all really how we have been socially conditioned to think.

for example, when i came to the US, I didn't see anything wrong with AA names. In fact, I liked some of them. but after years of conditioning and realizing the status of AA in america, my perception changed and now I will laugh with friends about how foolish sounding Latisha or Imani is when at first, I found it nicer sounding than Jane or Amy.
same with country music. I liked it until I realized it was "white people" music that I shouldn't be listening to as a black person.
so it really is all social conditioning. and what keeps racism and discrimination alive.

companies for example are more likely to pick a resume with a white sounding name than a immigrant or AA sounding one. even if all the credentials are the exact same. A study was done on this.

I get your point, but I think it would be much harder for someone named Tequan to get a job, as opposed to someone named Uzochi. . .

^ Correct! I knew that would be too easy, your turn.

@ poster

The UK would probably be your best bet. Walk into Croydon and file for asylum, but make sure you tell them you are Congolese (or some other nationality where their country is really messed up) to increase your chances. Because things are so messed up over there, you'd have at least a few months to disappear before they try and deport you. In that time you should be able to find a nice british slag girl to marry for visa. Best of luck!

@ suxes2005

Congrats on going to CSUN, its a great school. There are numerous opportunities for you to get involved with showbusiness here in LA. If you find the right connections, you can start off being an "extra" (person who plays random roles), and make about $500+ for doing just a few scenes. If you find yourself being an extra in film after film, you will have quite a miniature fortune lol. From there you might just find your way into larger roles. . .but don't get your hopes too high (no offense).

In all honesty though, if you don't have the right connections, you won't make it anywhere. Lots of people are fooled into believing hollywood is some place where you can magically walk into an audition room and become an actor. Its not that easy. If you want to get into that business, you need to have some exposure. Go to a few playhouses, get involved in some drama clubs, etc. That is how you gain your connections. If you're not interested in film, there are many other things out there for you to do. Best of luck.

Damn, I should have cheated. I got 8.

@ bawomolo

Can you clear up something you said earlier? When you say people who are opposed to mixed relationships are racist, do you mean the ones who oppose other peoples' mixed relationships, or the ones who have their own personal preference of not wanting to date outside of their race? If its the latter then call me a racist all you'd like. I have very little interest in women who are not black, and I definitely have no interest in marrying, let alone creating mulatto offspring with a woman who is not black. You might call it racist, but I call it preference.

Are you skilled? You should look towards Australia and Canada if you are; these countries have growing economies and have high demand for immigrants.

Ikomi:
Well if you dont have statistics/poll on this you might be very wrong, as well as the Justice of peace. 

It's quite possible, but from what I see, I doubt it.

Ikomi:
<sub>But honestly in my opinion, I dont appreciate it when those white gizzas run after a smooth assed black sister, those small dicked white gizzas cant keep a black sister happy. 

A black sister needs a black brother if only to keep her spirit high</sub>.

No, but you can find many articles and personal accounts that will support my statements.
