This is very poor, yet students who finish from schools like this are assumed to be very brilliant because they are believed to have well trained teachers. What a deception?

Hmmmmmm 8 kids in a two bed room apartment? That's too much. I suggest you guyz do something about it fast so you both can have space and time for ur affections. Your marriage to me is too young to begin to suffer some hitches now.

If I were ur husband, I won't get angry seeing u in that act. I would rather understand that u need s*x and then make immediate plans to satisfy u.

Good move but they could ve done this since ooo. Pls DSS come to lekki express between the second toll gate and VGC round about, you will see a hand full of them lined up and often times I have seen Nigerian Police van parked near these guys. So who is deceiving who ooo my people. Sometimes I just wish I could ram my car across their kegs loaded with fuel looking for buyers.

I left my house to locate Eti Osa LGA along Lekki/Epe expess way. Hence I know its around Igbo Efon, I pulled over just before the round about to ask for the actual location.

Then I saw this hefty looking young dude selling London used phones and I went to him, the following conversatoon ensued between us.

Me: good afternoon bros
Phone seller: welcome
Me: I beg where be local govt secretariat for this area?
Phone seller: see (pointing across the road) that bank signboard...
Me: (I interrupted) yes that one abi?...
Phone seller: hey look make I warn u, listen carefully I no go repeat my self oo. Na market I come sell, I no come show people address....

I was able to control my temper to listen to him as he described the place for me. I was left in shocked and when he finished, I didn't ulter a word of appreciation because I felt he was too rude the way he spoke to me.

Lagos na wa!!!

Contact 0803 433 3782, 0909 523 7441 if you are interested.

What a shame?! Its so obvious that this is a sponsored protest. Why is it that its igbinedion's daughter that is quoted in the text accompanying the photos? Trash ...

MAJORITY of the names in Nigeria political terrain were names I knew way back in my high school days when I studied Government and History. My thought then was that any name that is mentioned in history is among the fallen heroes. Later, precisely 1998, my father made it compulsory that we listen to NTA network news and he bought newspapers for us to read in order to be conversant with happenings and trends in the country. Between 1999 and year 2000, I got to understand that some of these names were still part of the decision making body of this country both directly and indirectly.

Having being reading about these people for over a decade and still seeing them looking smart and healthy as they pilot the affairs of the country, I realised that they ventured into the political scene and governance when they were much younger. Since I realised this, it has given me cause to worry, considering the fact that they rose to power between their late 20s and early 30s. But the opposite is the case today. We are not able to rise up and take the mantle of leadership because it has been said that we are leaders of tomorrow; and come to think of it that tomorrow is already now.

The tension grew in my heart daily until Thursday, March 14, last year when I went to dig into history and pull out some names and the age they started their political careers. The following nationalists were in their prime when they took the giant step to fight for Nigeria’s independence: Awolowo (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello (36), Tafawa Balewa (34), Okotie-Eboh (27), Anthony Enahoro (27) and they led the struggle for independence after the death of Macaulay. As of that period, only Nnamdi Azikiwe was 42.

More characters who became prominent in Nigeria politics in their prime are Kaduna Nzeogwu (29), Murtala Mohammed (28), Theophilus Danjuma (28), Ibrahim Babangida (25), Nanven Garba (23), Sani Abacha (23), Shehu Musa Yar’Adua (23), Gowon (32), Ojukwu (33), Obasanjo (29) and Buhari (24).

Note that most of the military administrators who governed the states under the successive military governments have also been governors and some are still governors in the present 16-year-old democratic dispensation. The brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw the House of Representatives in particular populated by a majority of members who are under 30 years as well as some senators. At that time, job opportunity was everywhere for people under the age of 30. Examples are MT Mbu who became Foreign Affairs minister at 23 and Pat Utomi who became a presidential adviser at 27 and so on and so forth.

The questions that bother me now are: Why is it that those in this age bracket today are sleeping and waking up in the comfort of their parents? Why are they still collecting pocket money from their parents? Why are they still writing UTME? Why are they sagging their trousers in the name of fashion? Why the endless search for jobs? Why are they not given the chance to head the youth wings of political parties? Why is this age bracket so docile? Why are they still incapable of fending for themselves? Why can’t they aspire to attain political powers? Why is it that this age bracket is today incapacitated, unwilling, unable and incapable of asking questions?”

After reading through, I pursed and asked myself: Where has that spirit of bravery gone to in our youths? I couldn’t help it but nod my head in pity for this age bracket and ask more questions like where did we get it wrong? Why can’t we dare like our fathers when they were our age? We are too carried away with the fear of the unknown, which has caused us to remain where we are. The popular sage; we are the leaders of tomorrow has become a normal lyrics and no one bothers to dare to step into the fore as a leader.

It is very sad to note that instead of daring, this age bracket has been bewildered with too much religious beliefs which are hardly reflected in their actions. The hours of thinking to make positive change, a couple of them are seated under the ministration of another fellow who cajoles them with sweet words of attaining greatness effortlessly. Instead of daring, we now hide under the cloak of very positive statements like “God will do it for me, God’s time is the best, I am the head and not the tail, I am not cut out to suffer, sorrow is not my portion, etc.” These are the unpalatable words they spit every moment.

I do not dispute the fact that God has the ability to make our wishes come to pass but one singular fact I know and I remember always is that part of the Holy Bible in Deuteronomy 30:9 which says: “The Lord your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands …” Our religious beliefs and pretentious practices of the religions have truly affected our thinking, limiting us to think within the box and continually repeat the same strategy which has not enabled us to take a single step forward.

The principle of pragmatism has been thrown into the air that we now dwell more on theory. We read works of great men on the pages of newspapers, magazines and motivational books; listen to and watch motivational CDs yet this age bracket is yet to be motivated to dare. We are yet to manifest the inspiration we get from the various materials we have read and listened to.

While not undermining the efforts of these books and their likes because they impact transferable skills such as computer and ICT; leadership and project management; team-work, communication, negotiation and mediation; and administrable skills, which are key to building daring mind; the bottom-line is that every young Nigerian has to wake up from slumber and take hold of the future which is now. Time is running out, children are growing and getting wiser, the youth must realise that there is no more time for frivolities.

As much as mentorship is key to breeding bold minds, I have observed that there is a shortfall of mentors but we can’t fold our arms and watch helplessly like sheep without shepherds. We have got to motivate ourselves to make this country work. Many young adults are in dire need of mentors and role models who would remind them that hard work pays ultimately and daring by taking the bull by the horns is a strategy to key development. This is the time to act; the destiny of our unborn children is right in our hands. The time to lead is now; the time to act is now. We are aging by the seconds and we cannot continue to hear we are the leaders of tomorrow when actually the ‘tomorrow’ has long been at hand.

Hi guys,

I have this issue that sometimes make me fee sad about the attitude of my ex.
We dated for about a year and when i saw that her ideaologies were not in line with mine and if we go ahead to marry, we would have problems. I decided to call of the relationship ona mutual ground pointing out some of those things that are not working especially from her end, she agreed and we ended it but i mentioned that we will always be friends.

To cut the long story story, she broke up all communication channels (blocked me from her social media accounts) as against my wish.
After two years of break up with her, I got married to an age long friend of mine of which she was aware.

Few days ago, i got her no from her younger brother and i called her but she gave me a very cold shoulder. I told her its no crime to say hi to her and i even proposed if we could see but she makes it all very difficult and sad.

Guys i need your candid opinion; is it wrong to continue friendship with an ex? Pls bear in mind that she is not the only ex, i have others who are still friends with me and they even know my wife (one patronises her business).

Thanks

This link below is for Honda EOD manual
http://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/OM/AH/AAC0505OM/enu/AC0505OM.pdf

My EOD is fantastic. Its just about you listening carefully to the unusual sounds from the car engine and having a good mechanic, then you are good to go.

Hi guys,

My Honday EOD is showing key maintenance required on the dash board and it does hard start.
What could be wrong?
Pls ur candid advise. no insults

Well you all have spoken well. But i will encourage this guy to go ahead and get a nigerian used car which is still ok. though there is no way u wont buy a naija used car and it will be void of issues. of cos it is a gradual thing and effective planning can make you achieve anything dream of urs. i earn less than 200k and i use an EOD. i dont drive it evryday of the week but i enjoy it because i bought it as a necessity. a car for me is not a luxur, its actually to ease ur sef with some basic movements.
Go ahead my guy and achieve ur plan.

I have enjoyed reading all your comments, both good, bad and ugle. one thing i know is that there is no car that doesn't have its own challenges. It is very rosy when it has no issues but the moment it starts, u hate it. for HONDA EOD, i use one and i love the car. good maintenance culture will help u spend less on the car. be observant to every sound and ensure u rectify it ASAP before it degenerates to some more complicated problems. It is a status car by our mentality but the basic challenge is that we don't have good hands to fix our cars in nigeria. currently, i am looking at taking mine to honda centres so it can be on safe hands.
Enjoy your EOD guyz

Diageo Brands Nigeria, distillers of Baileys, No.1 Irish Cream Liqueur, has attributed its market success to the unflinching loyalty of its wholesalers. The company made the remark during the Christmas edition of its monthly Wholesalers Promo raffle draws which held in Lagos on December 20, 2014.

Kayode Oluwo, Commercial Planning and Activation Manager, Diageo Brands Nigeria said that its brands, including Baileys is able to maintain its No. 1 status in Nigeria due to the efficient working partnership Diageo has with its wholesalers, especially as it relates to the wine and spirits Baileys’ market.

“At Diageo Brands Nigeria, we see our wholesalers as veritable partners and our backbone to success, and the fact that our brands including Johnnie Walker, Baileys and others have remained leaders in their categories is an attestation to assertion. We appreciate we will never have been the choice of Nigerians if not for the loyalty our wholesalers have shown us.”

Oluwo attributed the Wholesalers Raffle Draw, which rewarded some of its wholesalers with various pricey gifts including a brand new 2014 KIA Sorento SUV car, 4.5KVA Hyundai power generating sets and other consolation prizes, as a way of appreciating Diageo’s trade partners, and appealed to them not to relent on their partnership with the company.

The special Christmas edition draws saw Ndubuisi Onyenami of Gindus Limited, Aba emerge the winner of a brand new KIA Sorento SUV car 2014 model, while Chigozie Anagwe of Chigotex Royal Link, Chukwuebuka Charles of Buka Biz, both of Trade Fair, Lagos, and Nonso Okonkwo of Nolly Global Limited, Lagos Island, went home with a 4.5KVA Hyundai power generating set each.
Also speaking on the Wholesalers Promo, Udjoh Ufuoma, Baileys Brand Manager, said that Diageo Brands Nigeria has so far rewarded three wholesalers with KIA SUV cars while 12 others have also being rewarded with a power generating since the activity began in August.

Udjoh added that Diageo will continue to reward loyal customers by providing them exponential values that will grow their businesses.

The wholesalers expressed their appreciation for the recognition and support Diageo has shown them.

Five Nigerian teams have qualified for the Chief Finance Officer (CFO)’s Phase in the on-going Procter & Gamble (P&G)’s CEO Challenge. The teams scored the highest points in the Country Manager’s Phase of the competition. A total of 20 teams took part in this phase of the competition.

The successful teams from the Country Manager Challenge are HHR and The Technopreneurs, both from the University of Ibadan; Midas, Incredible and Nudocs from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, and Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, respectively.

Ridwan Sorunke, the Corporate Communications Officer, P&G, who disclosed this, said that the successful teams distinguished themselves in the tasks that were given to them in the Country Manager’s Phase to qualify for the next phase of the competition.

“The qualification of these teams did not come as a surprise as they excelled in the various tasks that were given to them at the Country Manager’s Phase. As they delivered on the demands of the Country Manager, the five contestants will now take on the tasks that face Chief Finance Officer of multinational corporations like the P&G.”

He went further to say that only one of these five teams will move to the Regional Chief Operating Officer (COO) Phase in the competition where they would compete with their regional counterparts from across Africa.

The P&G CEO Challenge is an online case study competition among students of universities and business schools across the world and is aimed at identifying, developing and grooming leaders for tomorrow. They will get hands-on experience on how to solve P&G challenges on a more professional level.

The competition is designed to run in five stages viz: Brand Manager Challenge; Country Manager Challenge and the Chief Finance Officer Challenge. Others are Chief Operating Officer Challenge and the Chief Executive Officer Challenge.

It will be recalled that over 449 teams from various Universities and Business schools across Nigeria applied for the challenge from which 129 emerged victorious in the qualifier challenge to participate in the Brand Manager’s Challenge.

Procter and Gamble, Nigeria’s leading producer of consumer goods and makers of Pampers diaper range took consumer marketing and sales to a new level as its employees in Lagos took the company’s new and improved Pampers Baby-Dry diaper to customers in the streets and markets.

The market storm, aimed at understanding customer needs through direct engagement, took place simultaneously at Agege and Ikeja areas of Lagos. The employees, which broke into sales units, marketed and sold the various sizes of the diapers to individuals as well as to retail and wholesale outlets.

xercise, Ijeoma Opene, Associate Director, Customer Business Development, said that the feedback from the storm reinforced Pampers’ leadership position in the minds of mothers in Lagos.

“Our objective of hitting the field today is to introduce the new and exciting Pampers Baby-Dry that not only delivers superior dryness to Nigerian babies but also ensures a comfortable and restful sleep. My experience today has being awesome as the customers were interested in the product even beyond our expectations”.

Iphie Chuks-Adizue, Brand Manager Pampers Nigeria explained that the latest product is characteristic of Pampers’ diaper innovations. “The new Pampers Baby-dry is a demonstration of our commitment to delivering innovative products. As such, we are proud to introduce this variant which delivers superior dryness as well as stretchy sides that adapt to the baby’s shape and movements, ensuring no leakage. It also has fun designs to excite the babies and their mothers”.

Diageo Brands Nigeria has doled out a 2014 KIA Sorento car and a 4.5KVA Hyundai power generating sets to its wholesalers during a raffle draw event which held last weekend in Lagos. This is part of the company’s tradition of recognizing and incentivising its customers across the country.

It will be recalled that the company rewarded two of its wholesalers with 2014 models of KIA cars in August and September 2014 while others won sets of power generating machines and deep freezers.

According to Liz Ashdown, Head of Spirits, Marketing & Ready-to-Drink (RTD) for Diageo Brands Nigeria, the promo will stretch till December 2014 so as to engender more wholesalers to buy more cases of Baileys and Johnnie Walker, and qualify to win the star prize and other consolation prizes.

“The winners participated in a raffle draw at the event which had 22 wholesalers from across the country in attendance. The draw saw Nonso Okonkwo of Nolly Global Limited, Lagos Island emerge winner of a KIA Sorento 2014 model, while Anugwu Ebuka Peter of Agbeni Market, Ibadan; Benneth Aniekwe of Bengold Int’l Limited, Lagos Island and Ifechukwu Blessed of Blessed Celestine Stores, Aba won a power generating set each,” Ashdown said.

Commenting on the rationale for the promo, Kayode Oluwo, Commercial Planning and Activation Manager, Diageo Brands Nigeria, said the aim was to reward wholesaler on a monthly basis with gifts and ensure they get a return on investment on all Diageo Brands.

The wholesalers registered their appreciation with Diageo for the recognition it gave to them and commended the company for identifying with its customers.
