Why can't we still foster this spirit of oneness among the different ethnicities in Nigeria? It's obvious that together, we can achieve greatness beyond imagination.

Sir Shina Peters (born Oluwashina
Akanbi Peters in Ogun State on the
30th of May, 1958) is one of Nigeria’s most renowned musicians while Clarion Chukwura is one of the most popular actresses in the land. The two of them are parents of one of Nigeria’s best music video producers, Clarence Abiodun Peters. Here is an image of the lovebirds in 1982 on the cover of the original track of Owo L’Agba (Money Power) feat. the duo. They are no longer together as Sir Shina Peters is married to another woman now.

1992 - A small town somewhere in the south west (If*ki). A coronation ceremony of the monarch.

1998 - At the same town as above (If*ki grammar school). A pre-test assessment.

skyluv2000: I think senator Ekweremmadu has a nice point there, its better,GEJ stay for one term and leave the office.for some of you slowpokes especially westerners here, didnt ur brother wanted third term, so what crime had GEJ committed in trying to utilize his franchisement to the fullest.

What are you on about? Your posturing and arguement don't hold water. Pray tell, which region championed mostly the opposition to OBJ 3rd term agenda? To help you out, it's the west. Yes, his own people! So you see your folly. It's good to see things as they are, not as who you are. Only then will ethnic sentiment cease to be a clog in the wheel of Nigeria's progress.

My DIY Apple Macintosh computer. That was then though, cos now I can afford a real one.

Hawking wares at MMIA - I wasn't on the plane this time, but a friend of mine who was, sent the picture to me.

bluejeff: This is the worse thread I have seen on the fp this year. Is this some joke or something ? Cos these pics ain't anything close to funny.

Cool down bro. Don't be so uptight.

Otunba.b:
Why didn't you just say funny pictures instead of powerful pictures....

MillionDollars: so i shld naw believe its all real...[/quote

Some are actually real. Like the walkman boys, sleeping OBJ and the "Oga at the top". Lol.

[quote author=Swaginton]This is stupid...op do you even know the meanin of the word 'powerful'....

Well, this is just to help you unwind. Really. And by the way, I was inspired to create the thread following the saddening and tragic pictures I saw on a thread earlier in the day. https://www.nairaland.com/1508981/30-most-powerful-photos-ever
They were really moving pictures that calls for a cross-examination of oneself. What impacts have we made or hope to make on the world? Am I really better than those people that are shown suffering? etc. So you see, I just needed a little humour after that.

deor03: Pls check, the topic is under joke section, don't be hard on yourselves

Exactly. It's under joke section.

jaryeh: I laff so tey I fall from untop Glo mast!!

joeace2020: that picture is the bad spot at evbotubu, Edo State, the girl on d gown is my step sister... i dey vexxxxxxx

Lol. My bad. Abeg nor vex.

Orikinla: Poster, you are wickedly funny.
Now you see why God loves Nigerians?
We are a special breed.

We have shock absorbers for all the agonies and ironies in Nigeria.

Really special breed. It's not just for fun when it's said that Nigerians are the happiest people on earth.

Great that this post made front page.

darediamond: DO NOT GET IT TWISTED , SOLAR CHARGERS AND POWER SYSTEMS ARE FOR REAL OOO!!
=====================
Going by my experience with Compactly Integrated Solar Chargers like the one advertise above, I can tell you reading my post rigth now that it is not economical and cost-effective as it does not lastlonger like the
Split Solar Charger for mobile devices. The reason for this is about the extremly BAD effect of d Sun on the Chemistry of the Power Bank when you are getting it charged under the Sun.
I am using a Split Solar Laptopp Charger which I also do use to charge my phones, AAA batteries etc. , power my usb fans as well as well humidifiers.
You can get all these on www dot aliexpress dot com cheaply using ur MasterCard ATM Card and or related ones.
WARNING: Buy Power Bank separately and then Buy Solar Panel separately to now link together with accompany power cords.
=========
There are other issues you neeed to know abt regarin what I am saying above.
Cares to know?
Call me.

Your digits are not here. But check your nairaland e-mail as i've sent you a message there for onward communication.

imsparkling: Av also had a similar experience, but mine was just a text msg it reads; dis is 2 inform u dat u cannot run away from me, d master of d dark. D earlier u come bk 2 me d better 4 u. I am d devil and u can't fool urslf if u don't wanna follow me, I will make u do dat forcefully....its me SATAN!! Dats d msg and I got it one sunday mrnin in my room @ skul. I was totally speechless dat I showed my nebos d msg.. I cldnt call d number bk cos it was customised wt SATAN. I cried day day, I prayed I fasted hmmmmm!! It was indeed terrible 4 me. Bt ppl made me 2 knw dat it might be someone dat knew me dat did dat 2 me. Na only God knws ooo!! Well my conclusion z dat its END TIME BELL RINGING!

Can't stop laughing. You must be a great catch for cheap jokes. So you didn't think numbers could be customised in that manner or maybe you've been watching that "the eye" movie. And to think you went fasting. Then you'll fall for the MTN call to claim your LED TV text messages scam. Ndo.

Exponental: 080-666-xx-666 dats my friends no.
I'm sure a call from her in d middle of d night will scare many.
I believe some people her playing pranks wit d no.

Yes you're right. I won't dare pick the call and I'd be scared too simply because firstly, at that time, feeling groggy having been awoken from sleep gives you no time to assess the situation logically hence the panic. Secondly, there might be nobody around at about that time to discuss the "weirdness" with thereby sharing the burden of analysing the situation. But I guess praying at that instant will give sense of security till daybreak when you fit shout for help just as that woman did. Lol.

Alikaxon: Who could be those after her life?

The first thing that comes to a smart mine is it's all arrangee things organised to garner sympathy for her otherwise why is it happening at around the time she's in the armoured BMW mess? And the dangers of her having enemies isn't the greatest of the ministers' portfolios. Even the coordinating minister for the economy is a more endangered specie. You see, the annoying things about Nigerian leaders is how intellectually deprived they think Nigerians are. The same manner Bode George feigned collapse during his trial in the courtroom, Cecilia Ibru played similar games. Who wouldn't put two and two together to deduct correctly that this was staged? Why hadn't she waited for about 6 to 7 months before doing such at which time it'll be more credible she's in danger and as such can cleverly shut down her critics or better still waited silently for the scandal to die a natural death as it was with past scandals. Just an observation.

Sunny_bobo: The Yoruba mafia at work.

Hehehe. Na wa o. Sure that'l be the next mantra na. It's the expected song.

zeelo2014: THe same way the assasins got Dora abi?

Dora was a woman of substance, detribalized and does not care whose ox is gored (remember she prosecuted her own relative for erring) and therefore is definitely bound to step on toes. Personally i respect and adore her more than these current crop. She was actually recommended for that appointment based on her history of honesty, accountability and dedication in the civil service.

You're very right. At Ekiti, it seems to connect for just 10 minutes cumulative in 24 hours.

ROSSIKE: You need to develop a brain and realise that being a developing region is no excuse for anyone to portray you as a hopeless place with nothing but mud huts and nak.ed children.

Your reply didn't really come across as answers to the questions he asked. Maybe you missed those questions. So here goes.

Lordlexyy: How many quality hospitals do we
have? (when your elected officials
travel overseers for check up). How
stable is your power? What about
security and water and housing?

MAHMOUD04: : Dont mind those self centered creatures, I didn't see
anybody saying the boy killed for
Jesus, may be he kill for Allah again.
Let me hear you say no terorist
among the so call xtiains. Anyway
the boy is brainwashed by his pastor.

azezola: The boy kill for jesus, evil christian.

BinghiNya: And someone will say christianity is a religion of peace. He killed someone and he follows jesus

Okay. We've heard y'all. He actually shouted "Hallelujah, in Yesus name, Yesu akbar" while strangulating the woman but they forgot to report it. Are y'all happy now?

dhaewood: i wanted to say the same thing but just dont want to be tribalistic thank GOD ,,,,,,,,,,,,,na una brother talk am............very aggressive kind of human being,,,,they want u to do something for them for free but not willing to reciprocate, in marriage their village youth are aggressive.....ready to scatter your wedding ceremony if dont pay the heavy fees they set before you................

Haba! Take it easy dude. You're going too far and about to cross the line. You shoulda just stopped at the "na una brother talk am..." part and put whatever grouse you have in check. That's reasonable enough.

mayorme: Reverse Back- Its either you reverse, or you back up
Night Vigil- All vigils are meant to be done at night
Sue to court- Is there any other place you can sue someone?

Yes. You can sue someone to the witches. #Spiritual things#

VICTORCIZA: ....AND THEY SAY THEY ARE PROGRESIVE

Yes they are. Because they waste no time bringing erring and corrupt officials to book.

With the narrations here, it's sure the statistics of Nigerians that loose money (stolen, misplaced, snatched, mysterious disappearances) will run to around 3 million Nigerians per year or 8000 Nigerians per day. That is a frightenenly huge number.

It happened during my NYSC year. Koko, warri north local government of Delta state. I'd been paid my monthly salary 2 days earlier, a sum of 40 thousand Naira. It's usually paid in cash, so the question of it being in the bank is out of it. So i had it kept in my laptop bag and left for work. Around 12 noon, something nudged me to go home. This is unusual cos it's earlier than 4pm which is the normal closing hour. Behold i got to the corpers' lodge to find my room broken into and the money gone, but suprisingly the laptop intact (it was to be properly stolen 2 years later). Three other rooms belonging to colleagues were also ransacked. I immediately reported at the police station where one bloody officer asked that I drop some money to commence investigation. How heartless can someone be, demanding money from a youth corper who had just lost 40k. Anyways, i just have it up as one of the few losses that happens.
