[size=13pt]This is a cruel way to treat these animals. Locking them up in small cages like poultry birds? For God's sake, it wouldn't cost more than 10 million to construct an expansive home where these animals can roam about and feel like "at home". That amount is less than what many politicians give to ashawo for the weekend, why can't someone just be reasonable enough to do something nice, just this once for their country? Locking up a big cat in a small house is crude form of animal cruelty. I wonder why naija always have to do her things like this is the 13th century.[/size] |
Very Informative, thanks for this Tanimola. |
Thanks for this Tanimola22. Do you have some information about what someone with 3 years experience as an Equity Analyst in a mid size boutique from the US, may expect in this sort of place? i.e in terms of available roles, compensation and the general hiring policies? |
https://gifs.gifbin.com/122009/1260528522_itcrowd-facepalm.gif This is just pure mental laziness. I understand that in the land of the blind, the one eyed bloke is expected to be hailed, and for this reason, i will expect similar blinded folks to come around saying "Hey let's salute them, at least they made an effort" For fcks sake, what effort? If you wanna do something, do it well or don't do it at all, but by all means, don't plunge mankind back into the 18th centuries with your school projects. Even cars that were developed then were a bit more aesthetically looking than that thing. I hope this mess of a project serves as a lesson of sorts for those kids going into their final years. Please and please, make sure your projects aim to develop on existing technologies. Discover something new. Explain a mystery. Discover a cure. Find an answer. Make the world better with your projects, don't just go sourcing some spare parts at alaba, hoping you'd win a Nobel for the first man to build a car, you are too late for that. |
I see 22 faces. Sue me ![]() |
crito: please does any one has info of how much arm investment managers pay corpers in lagos. my brother intends to serve with the coy in batch B, 2007.@Tanimola is the person to speak to. I'm also interested in this information. |
If you are above 20 years of age, and have only just realized these things now on Nairaland, then you've simply wasted your life. |
CohenJane: You have my thumbs up for that. By the way, the pastor should have told us how much exactly he bought the land for the Govt charge of 5% to have amounted to 72million naira. If my maths does not fail me, I think the land should worth 14,400,000,000. i.e. 1.4billion. Aba, pastor? So, you don't wanna pay tax on that huge sum, how will the wealth trickle down? See how you come open your yansh!Seriously? Who knew that the maths involved was this complex? Thanks man, we all couldn't have solved it on our own. |
But i was told that the current Federal government pay for doctors is mouth watering, what is there to complain about again? |
a look at the current operators in Mali FRANCE France's resources in what they call Operation Serval include: - 800 troops are now in place in Mali. This number is forecast to "gradually" increase to 2,500, according to a government official, who insisted on anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak to the press. -French forces on the ground include 200 troops from Operation Epervier in Chad who have been flown into Bamako. This includes some French Foreign Legionnaires. And a company of the 2nd marine infantry regiment based in Auvours, France was moved into Bamako on Saturday. Also present are a group of 200 soldiers who moved into Mali on Monday from their base in Ivory Coast, along with around 60 armored vehicles. -Gazelle helicopter gunships from the 4th helicopter regiment of the special forces armed with HOT anti-tank missiles and 20mm cannons. The 4th regiment, based in Pau, France, has 12 of these helicopters. - Mirage 2000D fighter jets based in Chad and four Rafale fighter jets sent from their base in France have taken part in the bombing campaign, supported by two C135 refueling tankers. Two Mirage F1 CR reconnaissance jets were also moved from their base in Chad to Bamako on Monday. France has six Mirage 2000D, 3 C135s, one C130, 1 Transall C160 stationed in Chad as part of its Operation Epervier. NIGERIA: Will send about 900 troops, including a company of 190 expected to leave in the next 24 hours. U.K. -Two C-17 aircraft to carry foreign troops and military equipment to Mali. One C-17 is currently in France and the other is currently at RAF Brize-Norton in England. -Britain is not offering any troops, but Mark Simmonds, the government minister for Africa, said British personnel also could be involved in training the Malian army. - The only military personnel will be a Royal Air Force ground crew intended to service C-17 transport. United States: The U.S. is providing intelligence-gathering assistance to the French, and officials would not rule out having American aircraft land in the West African nation as part of future efforts to lend airlift and logistical support. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday that the U.S. is still working through the details of assistance it will provide France. EU: The European Union says it is speeding up its preparation for a troop training mission in Mali, which will now likely be launched in the second half of February or early March, but the EU is not planning any direct combat role ALGERIA: Algerian Foreign Ministry spokesman Amar Belani said on Monday that Algeria was closing the nearly 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) border with Mali. After months of expressing grave doubts over any intervention in Mali, regional powerhouse Algeria has backed the French attack. It has granted overflight rights to French jets heading to northern Mali. BENIN: Will send 300 troops BURKINA FASO: Will send 500 troops to Mali and 500 others to control the northern border. Check points have also been set up in Burkina Faso on roads to it northern border with Mali.

FXKing2012: He looks like d devil so I wldnt vote for him.How do you know what the devil looks like? |
Dede1: I guess ignorance oozes from your post. If the reasons Boko Haram is fighting Nigerian government include carving out independent nation from Nigeria, I shall contribute to its coffer. You are entitled to your bloody opinions including nonsensical idiocy about certain “people who will like to impose Islamic faith and Shariah laws on the rest of the world”. What a drooling fool.Obviously, i touched some nerves. Talibans in Afghanistan, Al-Qaieda in Maghreb, Islamic Rebels in Mali, Boko Haram in Nigeria, Dede1 on Nairaland, all share the same dogma:- The diminishment of mankind to a pitiable, hapless form, The colonization of minds, The imposition of religious beliefs and The abolishment of free democratic laws to be replaced by Shariah laws. They all operate under the banners of their disgust for western culture and civilization, which ironically they themselves happen to live by, afterall, Dede1 does have an access to internet and presumably, knows how to use it. It is for them all, that machines such as Rafale fighter jets, Eurotyphoon and B2 spirits were made. Dede1, this is for you: https://img.izismile.com/img/img3/20101206/640/one_of_the_640_03.jpg and be rest assured that the frenchies will find your Malian brothers, can i get an Amen? |
homerac7: spot on!This sounds very nice, your "military speak" adds to the flavour. So, "Nigerian operatives have been crawling around the terrains of Mali"...and meanwhile, somewhere else, Islamist rebels kept advancing and gaining territory up to a point where the Malian government yelled for help and it took the french more than 3000 km away and a single night of airstrikes to halt the advancement? So what's the point to all the extensive "recce"? |
Dede1: If the so-called Malian rebels are fighting for an independent nation out of Mali, the moronic jerks such as French and other Africans should stay away from the debacle. The people fighting for independence have every right to do so. I will always support the deconstruction of 1884 European partition of Africa.LoL! This reeks of ignorance. The Malian rebels are the Nigerian version of Boko Haram and an extension of Al-qaeida. You know, the same group of people who will like to impose Islamic faith and Shariah laws on the rest of the world? Now if this fits perfectly into your definition of "fighting for independence", then you may as well carry banners of protest against the federal government's war on Boko Haram. Otherwise, would it be too much if i ask you to shut the f**k up and stop spewing so much tosh on the forum? Thank you. ![]() |
[size=15pt]Nigeria sends air force technical team, commander to Mali[/size] By by M.J. Smith (AFP) – 1 hour ago LAGOS — Nigeria has sent an air force technical team and the commander of a planned African-led force to Mali to assist the country's military as it battles Islamists, a presidency spokesman said on Saturday. The confirmation of Nigerian military personnel on the ground comes after French air power helped Mali mount an offensive against the Islamists who control the country's north and who have been seeking to push further south. However, it was not yet clear when a planned 3,000-strong African-led force could be sent despite 15-nation west African bloc ECOWAS giving its go-ahead on Friday for the immediate deployment of troops. The Islamists' advance in Mali has raised fears that the country could provide a safe haven for Al Qaeda-linked extremists, posing a threat to the region as well as Europe and beyond. Nigeria has the largest military in the 15-nation Economic Community of West African States, but it is also battling an insurgency by Islamist extremist group Boko Haram at home in its northern and central regions. "The technical staff from the Nigerian air force are already on the ground in Mali," Nigerian presidency spokesman Reuben Abati told AFP. "They are not fighters; they are technical staff. |

Builder: Second, It doesn’t matter who won the election Obama or that cripple called McCain, the invasion have to be approved by the congress, and even if its approved, the Europeans have to agree to follow suit... seems you crazy people never learn from the beating you got from Iraq that left ur tail between ur legs and ran away, not to forget you are still in Afghanistan 11 years rolling and getting a good beatings from afghan poppy farmers LMAO. Israel is a country on borrowed terms, if not for the intervention of the Americans and EU. Do u really think Israel or the mossad would have a leg to stand on? Even Hezbollah in 2008 gave Israel a good beating and that’s just a small group firing rockets compared to the fire power the west supplied to Israel.First, The US president does not have to obtain an approval from congress before starting a war. Case in point - Vietnam war. As a matter of fact, if the US president declares a federal state of emergency, he could bypass congress or senate in almost anything. Second, the US does not require Europeans to follow them. It's usually the other way round. Case in point -- Iraq war! The United States started the invasion alongside Britain alone, no other European ally was involved. Third, you idea of "beating" is just pathetic. During the Invasion phase of the Iraq war, 9200 Iraqi combatants were killed as opposed to 139 US military personal. Iraqi government was seized, Sadam hussein was captured and hanged, and the US assumed control over the entire Iraqi government. which part of that story did they get "beaten"? And if you weren't so pathetic, you may have had some wisdom to research your facts and understand that the fact US chose to stay behind and retrain Iraqi personnel as well as rebuild it's infrastructures does not translate into being "beaten". The US does not intend to stay in Iraq forever. Israel a country on borrowed terms? Are you smoking junk or something? Israel gave a trashing to Syria, gave a trashing to Hezbollah, gave a trashing to Egypt, gave a trashing to Jordan, gave a trashing to lebanon ....show me one country in the entire middle east that can truly withstand Israel's fury? Syria has far better military capacities than Iran and it can't even stand Israel and you really think there exist a country in that middle east that can? Mind you the American economy is collapsing and its military forces are constantly blown apart in Afghanistan not to mention their financier is china and don’t think for a second that china or Russia will stand by and watch America or Israel invade IranAmerica remains the biggest economy in the world, like it or hate it. America does not house it's homeless population? dude what junk are you smoking? What country has a better healthcare in the world? hmm? I get the fact that a bunch of you losers tend to have a natural hatred for the US of A, but then that's your problem, nobody else's. If America chooses to default on it's payment to China as well as place a trade restriction, China's economy will come crashing faster than that of Greece. On the issue of why haven't they attacked Iran, well, it appears that if they choose to do so, you bunch of losers are likely to be the first crying foul on how America goes about bullying others. But get this, if they choose to attack Iran, what is Iran gonna do except wait politely and get beaten? Iran does not even have the military muscle to strike the United States, while the United States have all it takes to ship it's fury anywhere it chooses to. So what are the mullahs gonna do hm? Between you and me, the next 10 years for the west will be hell on earth. in their quest for oil and world domination, they invade sovereign countries in Libya and Syria and install terrorist to rule those countries, so far the world have seem the west supply the terrorist in Libya with weapons and are doing the same in Syria, the world witness how the rebels in Libya on September 11 blow the American ambassador to Libya apart, yet the same rebels from Libya are joined by Al Qaeda and armed by the west against the Syrian government… This sounds like the second coming of Osama Bin Laden. Bunch of Wankersblah blah blah blah. Who/what is going to make it a hell on earth? In the next 10 years, the mullahs are still going to remain crude and undeveloped. The United states will still remain sophisticated and powerful and you will still remain bitter and a loser, nothing will change really. |

And Israel expects these people to refrain from shooting rockets into its territory? How can you keep grabbing people's land and then expect them to keep quiet? |
ours after the United Nations voted overwhelmingly to grant de-facto statehood to Palestine, Israel responded on Friday by announcing it was authorising 3,000 new settler homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. An official, who declined to be named, said the government had also decided to expedite planning work for thousands more homes in a geographically sensitive area close to Jerusalem that critics say would kill off Palestinian hopes of a viable state. The decision was made on Thursday when it became clear that the U.N. General Assembly was set to upgrade the Palestinians' status in the world body, making them a "non-member state", as opposed to an "entity", boosting their diplomatic clout. The motion was backed by 138 nations, opposed by nine, while 41 members abstained - a resounding defeat that exposed its growing diplomatic isolation. An Israeli official had earlier conceded that this represented a "total failure of diplomacy" and warned there would be consequences - which were swift in coming. Plans to put up thousands of new settler homes in the wake of the Palestinian upgrade were always likely, but the prospect of building in an area known as E-1, which lies near Jerusalem and bisects much of the West Bank, is seen by some as a potential game changer. |

slimyem: ....and to you..its that easy and simple for a sane person to carry a baby for 9 months,nurture him/her a little more and hand him/her over forever for 2 million naira ...huh?So how much be your last price? You also have to consider that you wouldn't be able to guarantee that the babies will come out cute, in which case, their market value would have been impaired from birth. @OP. What sorts of contingency plans do you have for the babies, just in case trailer jam you? do you have like a fat defined benefit plan or some huge investments? |
I'm hoping someone will find a way to swindle this morafcker |
Here's the true Gospel. When it comes to buying shoes, we are so selective and conscientious about it. To make sure it is just the right fit, we try it on over and over and over again, check it out from the left, check it from the right, check it out on tippy toes, check it out using a back mirror before paying for it and if, when we get home, we try it on again and notice it gives us a tiny pinch. . .we return it without a second thought. But it comes to Churches and the decisions we make when it concerns our papas, mama, mommies and daddies we hesitate even if it a matter of life and death. |
Here's a video for you @OP, Happy Viewing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guSb-246qZ8&feature=related |
you are a miserable tool.....If the dude carries a British passport that makes him a British citizen, No? ...If he's a British citizen, then he's British, No? |
Sagamite: These are the people we should be celebrating, our fucktards will be worshipping those that destroy their lives.Exactly! This makes me wonder about the reasoning of many Nigerians sometimes. Even those who claim to be educated. For instance, how has Dame Patience Jonathan contributed meaningfully to anybody's life? Sheila Solarin left her country more than 60 years ago to help build a Nigeria that no one cared to build. |
There are several reports from Ikenne that Sheila Mary Solarin has passed on. Sheila is the British born widow of the late Tai Solarin and was awarded an MBE by Queen Elizabeth for her services to education in Nigeria. Till her passing away, she dedicated every bit of her life to humanity. Some of us were fortunate to have passed experienced her Motherly love first hand and her mission to the world and message to the world has remained foundational steps towards propelling us to greater heights. Sheila, Obirin Ogun Sheila, Obirin rere, Omo to bi jegberun lo, me le kawon tan Koi to! koi to! Sha ma kowa niso lo, a o somo fun o! Knowledge is light, Mayflower lives on! |
