Stop saying what you don't know wise man. It's people like you that perpetrate abnormalities as norms in Nigeria.
Do you know the numbers of lives lost to lack of not obeying traffic rules by escorts of politicians in Nigeria?

So those lives are worthless? If they kill all the citizens, will they rule space?

You are really a wise man.

Eemm, try explaining that to ISIS and Boko Haram. We are talking about preventing an assassinations, he talking about traffic rules.

PassingShot:
You know what? I haven't find any .... yet!

You know why? Because the route he takes is cordoned off from regular traffic. Which means that you as a regular citizen will have to take an alternate route to get to your destination. That i have to explain this is amazing.

jiorhemen:
I controvert the arguement that there's no where in the world where the president's motorcade is subject to traffic rules, there was a time the prime minister of New Zealand (not the current one), was stopped by the police and fined for not obeying traffic rules. Prof Akinyemi, that you watched prime minister Brown's motorcade not obeying traffic rules does not mean that there's no where in the world where the president's/prime minister's motorcade does not follow traffic rules. Moreover, the type of security around a serving president in Nigeria today is not the same as the vulnerability of General Murtala during his incumbency.

nationwide1:
Really? Then I pity Nigeria. What about the lives of hundreds of people which will be put at if Buhari's escort does not obey traffic rule.
Is that the change we were glamouring for?

This guys do not care about the well being of the president. You forget we have terrorist in our country. Do i have to break it down for you?

Step 1. Wait at stop light with rocket launcher.

Step 2. Once president obeys traffic rules, fire rocket launcher at motorcade.

Step 3. Keep firing.

Nigerians are really stu.pid. If we have to measure it on the stupidindicator scale of 1 to 10, it will be a 20.

ki02020:
The whole nation is the president constituency so if he(the president)cant move free in his own constituency then all is not well at all

The pope was well regarded and well loved, and someone still found a reason to shoot him.
President John F. Kenedy was well regarded and well loved and someone still found a reason to assassinate him.
Martin luther King was well regarded and well loved and someone still found a reason to assassinate him.

If Nigerians can't get it into their thick skulls that the president does not have to obey traffic rules for security purposes, then you do deserve a stu.pid person as president.

If you go to any market this days, you will realized the fruit that that dominate now is Mango, #ItsMangoSeason



Health Benefits of Mangos


1. Prevents Cancer:

Research has shown antioxidant compounds in mango fruit have been found to protect against colon, breast, leukemia and prostate cancers. These compounds include quercetin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid and methylgallat, as well as the abundant enzymes.


2. Lowers Cholesterol:

The high levels of fiber, pectin and vitamin C help to lower serum cholesterol levels, specifically Low-Density Lipoprotein (the bad stuff)



3.High iron for women:

Mango is rich in iron, hence it is a great natural solution for people suffering from anemia. Menopausal and pregnant women can indulge in mangoes as this will increase their iron levels and calcium at the same time.



4. Eye Health:

One cup of sliced mangoes supplies 25 percent of the needed daily value of vitamin A, which promotes good eyesight and prevents night blindness and dry eyes.



5. Alkalizes the Whole Body:

The tartaric acid, malic acid, and a trace of citric acid found in the fruit help to maintain the alkali reserve of the body.


6. Helps in Diabetes:

Mango leaves help normalize insulin levels in the blood. The traditional home remedy involves boiling leaves in water, soaking through the night and then consuming the filtered decoction in the morning. Mango fruit also have a relatively low glycemic index (41-60) so moderate quantities will not spike your sugar levels.



7. Improved Sex:

Mangos are a great source of vitamin E. Even though the popular connection between sex drive and vitamin E was originally created by a mistaken generalization on rat studies, further research has shown balanced proper amounts (as from whole food) does help in this area.



8. Improves Digestion:

Papayas are not the only fruit that contain enzymes for breaking down protein. There are several fruits, including mangoes, which have this healthful quality. The fiber in mangos also helps digestion and elimination.


9. Remedy for Heat Stroke

Juicing the fruit from green mango and mixing with water and a sweetener helps to cool down the body and prevent harm to the body. From an ayurvedic viewpoint, the reason people often get diuretic and exhausted when visiting equatorial climates is because the strong “sun energy” is burning up your body, particularly the muscles. The kidneys then become overloaded with the toxins from this process.


10. Boosts Immune system

The generous amounts of vitamin C and vitamin A in mangos, plus 25 different kinds of carotenoids keep your immune system healthy and strong.


11. Weight loss:

Mango has a lot of vitamins and nutrients that help the body feel fuller. Also, the fibrous fruit boosts the digestive function of the body by burning additional calories, helping in weight loss.



13. Aids concentration and memory:

Studying for exams? This fruit is rich in glutamine acid– an important protein for concentration and memory. Feed mangoes to children who find it difficult to concentrate on studies.


14. Skin cleanser:

Mangoes help you unclog your pores and add freshness to the face. Mangoes are applicable to any skin type. They help clear clogged pores that cause acne. Just slice a mango into thin pieces and keep them on your face for 10 to 15 minutes and then take bath or wash your face and see the results.


15. Great Conditioner:

Mango can be used in preparing a home-made conditioner. For this purpose, mix mango pulp with a spoonful of yogurt and two egg yellows. Apply this on your hair and leave for 30 minutes. This will condition your hair by making them soft and manageable.

So dating a white woman makes Igbos proud? No disrespect, but you are a dullard..

What has race got to do with it? I thought your argument would be that Nigerians are trying to identify with a guy who does not know Nigerians exist. Pathetic.

sexynabila:
and wat is wrong wit my face? .....

You need to ask?

And one ajalaoanr was trying to convince me that the strength of a passport was not determined by a nations economy. Stu.pidity reigns on Nairaland

Ilekeh:
He's right!

As an immigrant, go to American embassy and burn their flag, you'll find your way to your Naija bush faster than you can say NEPA.

Respect your host and you'll get a host not a host-ILE indigene.

And you wonder why Nigerians can't seem to move past it's present condition. There are no visitors, just Nigerians. When you start thinking of everybody as Nigerians, then we can move to next stage of evolution. If you want to really understand how stu.pid Nigerians are, come to Nairaland.

cyprus000:
I think we should give this man a chance.
Sincerely speaking,PDP has done more harm than good over the years.
I remember during OBJ regim,he appropriated about 16B for electricity,when he couldn't get his 3term bid,he cornered all the money and no one asked question,same goes to GEJ administration.
Maina cornered B20 naira police pension fund and he is still a freeman,same goes to the unaccredited B20$ NNPC saga.
Couppled with our ever falling assess crude acct,which I can vividly remember.
During yar adua administration,its was B64$.
Now its about B20$ last tym I checked

The system is really corrupt and it will take tym to make corrections.
GEJ tried tho,in some aspect.
His prblm was bad influence.

If you actually knew what it's like to own a helicopter back then, you won't be typing this post.


P.S: standing near a helicopter or flying in one doesn't actually mean the person owns it. S[b]o Awo might actually not be the owner of the helicopter[/b].

OMG!!! You don't know how your post is giving me shivers down my spine. I think i have a man crush. You don't know how frustrated i get whenever there is an unsubstantiated story on NL, and everyone gushes over it as if it is gospel. I am always amazed at the number of stu.pid people on Nairaland. God!!. Seun needs to subtract the total registered members from stu.pid members, then he'll get the true number of actual members.

emorse:
Inasmuch as you made a lot of sense, I have some reservations.

OBJ did not deliver as much as we expected but his tenure has expired and we have moved on. Late Yar'adua did his best but his tenure was short lived and we have moved on. If GEJ had won, his tenure still would have ended in 2019 and we would have been forced to move on! GEJ phucked up and he showed no signs that he would have done any better if reelected.

Nigerians consequently decided to take a risk instead of handing four precious years of their lives to a mediocre on a platter. GMB and in fact the APC as a whole have four years to prove their worth. If they fail to satisfy us, we'll simply kick them out and take a different risk.

We are products of the choices we make and not the choices they make. A lot of Nigerians have realised this. You should too.

I get it. We MOVE ON as a people when we've made decisions. We also LEARN from our mistakes. Nigerians don't. And i honestly believe they are expecting way to much from Buhari.

biggy4joe:
guess dats d kind of leaders we have in this country

It does not matter which country you are from. It happens everywhere which is why it is a crime to leave an accident you witness in Germany. Human beings are naturally selfish.

lionness:
I thought the Satanoids scums claimed this guy embezzled $3billion during his political permutation. This definitely doesn't look like a million naira structure, and it can't stand beside the billion naira mansion their messiah, GEJ is retiring to. Buhari's needs are as lean as the man himself.

Nigerians are so stupi.d. And how exactly do you know if that is his only house. How do you know that he does not have houses in Abuja, Lagos, kaduna, Ibadan, e.t.c? How do you even know for a fact that the house in the picture is his? If i stole money, do you think i'd want to advertise that i did? Suffering clouds the mind. You all need to start thinking with all you faculties.

dvee2:
You are just a loser for believing the Republicans cooked up story that Obama is a failed president. America was in a recession when Obama took over and it's now out of recession with increasing jobs statistics every month. Obama passed the affordable care act which several president previously could not do thereby benefiting the poor and middle class. Don't come here justifying the racist republican mantra of Obama being a socialist. I doubt if you know the meaning of socialism. Finally at least you accepted that Gej is a failure. But you will rather we vote in a failure than take a chance.

I have lived in both, you live in one. Google is not your friend in this instance. You have to live it to experience it. It is no propaganda when a party wins over 90 percent of seats in a house. And don't act like you understand the affordable care act. I pay the taxes you don't. It is not all sweet smelling roses. Health care is not the only issue America has you know. Lastly, i have no issues with taking a chance on a new candidate but expecting miracles? Now that's just stu.pid

emorse:
We knew all these already na. Why else do you think we voted for change? Even the poster above me is angry because he knows he cannot "come and chop" free food anyhow again.

Let me tell you a story. George W Bush, was at one time the most hated man in America. He was hated more than Jimmy Carter and Nixon, which, to Americans is a big deal. He was singled out as the main reason the economy was tanking and why the country was spending close to 1 billion a month fighting two wars. Unknowingly, it was his vice president pulling all the strings and leading the president in the wrong path. Yes Bush was that stu.pid. It was so bad that Americans would have voted a Russian as president to lead them. Then comes this brilliant, slick, handsome black guy who knew how to say and promise the right things. Americans were hooked. To them they had seen enough suffering and were ready for CHANGE. Obama wins the presidency and his true agenda comes to light; the gradual transformation of America into a semi socialist state, the destruction of the middle class and the gay agenda all for political gain. Now, Obama is probably the most hated President ever.

I have said it many times. Nigerians have selective amnesia. Most Nairalanders are like 12 year old who don't realize that what is happening with Buhari, happened when Obasanjo came into power as a civilian. People were so tired of Military rule that they were ready for CHANGE. I remember we used to say that Nigeria's time had come. I mean, this was a guy who was on death row and had a miraculous rescue. To add to that, he was being prepped to be president. It was like a fairy tale. We all have seen the end result of that blunderous mistake.

The same thing is happening again. Jonathan phucked things up so badly that Nigerians are ready for anything and anyone to take the helm of power without examining things closely enough. Buhari is a man, who under normal circumstances would never had made president, but because Nigerians are so desperate, they let unreasonable expectations, false hope, and naivety erode common sense. The guy is smart though; he knew Nigerians weren't desperate enough, that is why they never voted for him in previous elections. NOW WE ARE. Don't get me wrong, Jonathan is no better. He probably the dumbest we ever had, but the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. But in Buhari's case, we know the angel, and you'all still voted for him. I can guarantee you, what happened to America, under Obama and the democrats will never happen again in America. You can already smell the CHANGE over here. In the last elections, the Republican party swept almost all the seats. The worst thing you can ever do is make a life changing decision when you are desperate. That is how 419 thrives; they hook you when you are desperate and have unrealistic expectations. Can Nigerians ever learn from history?

Twaci:
Hmmmm

Kindly vote me for Miss. Nairaland 2015. Thanks .

Like i said; 12 year olds. Let the world burn, Nigeria's economy collapse or the Naira be 300 to 1 dollar; as long as she's miss Nairaland, everything is fine.

CyberWolf:
Nothing like fuel scarcity in Enugu here..Why is this happening in APC states only?...Anyway that's their business..

Lol....Nothing happens in Enugu period. Is it not the same state where everyday activity starts at 0900? Don't get me wrong, that is the allure of the state. Very laid back. The impact of fuel scarcity will not be evident in a state like that.

And how do we know that's an actual phone? Googled it and nothing came up. I wonder where the supposed source and the OP got their information.

dajoaneke:
My father use to tell the joke in a song about a Nigerian who went to London for the first time with Garri & soup in his suitcase. He fgound a power outlet and decided to make his Eba.
As Oyibo gather to see Nigerian, they saw white powder become dough like white rock (eba) & clapped
Next he brought out his soup and to their amazement he began to swallow the rock lump after lump
Quickly they alerted the police to stop the black man from committing suicide
lol

Bros, that your story na popular song sang by bright chimezie in the early 80's. Your dad told you a fallacy.

Where do i begin. I am very passionate about this topic and will try to do due diligence to it. The main reason corruption and crime thrives in Nigeria is because of this warm and fuzzy feeling criminals get that there is little or no chance that they will ever get caught. Remove that doubt in the mind of a criminal and you will reduce crime in the country.

Adjudication and persecution; Why is jungle justice so rampant? Because the average Nigerian believes that a criminal will not be persecuted to the full weight of the law if he/she can pay of the police or afford a high priced lawyer.

Technology; In America, let's assume you are wanted for a crime. More often than not the police won't go all out to chase you down. You'll eventually come to them. Every car is registered to a owner and every owners drivers license is in the system which is accessed by a computer in his/her police vehicle. They understand statistics and the law of averages very well. They know that at some point you will have a busted tail light, make a turn without signaling, run a red light, not stopping completely at a stop sign, over speeding e.t.c when that happens there will be a cop somewhere who will pull you over. The first thing they do after pulling you over is to run your plates and if you have a record or you are wanted for any reason a red flag pops up and you are done for. In Nigeria, we need to know who has what and where they are to make it easy for the authorities to do their jobs.

Better infrastructure; How many times have we seen criminals escape on foot into the woods, or jump on a bike, or jump into a speed boat to escape apprehension? In normal societies, you might decide to use a copter as a means of escape and that will not help you. Our cities need better planning. Wooded areas need to be cleared, better connecting roads need to be built to assist the police in their apprehension of criminals.

I could go on and on.

I know that i kinda digressed a little but corruption alone is not the issue. Crime in it's entirety is.

oluface:
[size=20pt] It is very very easy to say but I strongly believe the only way The Nigeria Police corruption can be curb is to have a direct Nigeria Police Call Centre in Every state Police Headquater where citizen can easily lay a complain of any illegal activities of the police. It may be true that this acting IG really mean what he said but before this thing can work, citizen must have easy access to every State Headquater of the Nigeria police force and their website should be updated every 5 months base on transfer or Promotion. Another thing is that the Federal Government should set up a body of legal practitioners who will be there to defend those that cannot afford to pay for the service of a lawyer just the way My Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola did in Lagos State and also invest more in security.

Every Nigerian should learn how to have a prove / evidence if you are having issues with someone. Voice recording has helped me recovered the money a police officer collected from me. I collected all my money without given him 10kobo out of the 4k he collected from me.

I honestly believe the reason why Nigeria is crap is because Nigerians are crappy people.

Person no see place travel go na that dirty, rude, expensive place. Op should be thanking God they denied his visa.

mirexxx:
nobody talked abt virginity here. thanks.

You made it sound like you were. Hating sex means you don't do it. Not doing it means you are a virgin.

Yes this is how to fight a war. Take no prisoners, and give them same measure as they give you. It takes an animal to fight an animal. Boko haram bleeped up with their tactics. Nigerians are generally blood thirsty. Boko haram probably thought they were terrorizing americans.

RichDad1:
This is a blatant lie.

Completely agree with you. Even if it is true, then it is a testament to the terrible medical practices is in Nigeria. With advances in medicine world wide, performing an abortion is as rudimentary as pulling a tooth.
