Why do Nigerian press always post pictures of suspects with their faces usually covered with their hands or clothes?
Whatever happened to MUG Shots? This is clearly annoying to me.

Mug shot is one of the first things the police should take before prosecuting a criminal, so as to give the general public a proper information on who they are dealing with.

What if the guys come back after bail and continue their facebook luring of innocent girls, how can they be identified, and avoided

The site is still not up as i write this.
No new info has surfaced from the blog asides the old news that they will be up bu yesterday, 22nd August.

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE, GUYS!
1. A demon possessed man meets with Jesus, declares that his name is legion, Jesus knowing what to do, commands the demons to leave, setting the man free.
2. A demon possessed man enters into a Ranch Church, declares his name is Linda, instead of the Pastor to cast the devil out and set Charles Oputa free, he gave the man Mic and platform to keep uttering rubbish, and still went home bound with the demon!!!
This man should better go running a real ranch with cows, he knows nothing about the Christ he professes to Pastor for.

This is really a big issue for my country.
Asides from some sites refusing to ship to Nigeria,
Other sites also impose higher security authorizations
from credit/debits cards coming from Nigeria in other
to frustratrate you from making a purchase.

The means i devised is using my UK address as the
billing address, and then tell my folks to DHL to
Naijaland.
We seriously need to show seriousness in prosecuting
frauds in both government and private sectors and let
the international community see that we have zero tolerance
for rogues.

With our massive population, we ought to be in the top five!
But then, has any body seen the facilities with which our athletes practice?

Tokotaya: On the Yaba/Akoka axis, there are a few booby-traps, apart from the clear one-way traffic roads with concrete medians. The one that leaps to mind now is the major road from University Junction that leads directly to UNILAG Gate. This road is 95 percent two-way traffic. But there is a 5 percent one-way traffic, where you have to detour inside the community and burst out a little further down the road. There is an old, faded ‘No Entry’ sign, to warn motorists, but many first timers miss it. They are joking with three years jail term.

I had been a victim of this particular notorious road. The Police/Lastma hides inside a kiosk after the supposed junction, only to pounce on you, as you drive past. I bailed myself with 3k!

I suggest that Lagos state government should first of all, ensure that bold road signs are mounted at the entry of all one-way lanes before signing this bill.
Secondly, the ones that becomes one-way at the middle of the road should have the signs boldy at intervals along the way.
Else, more Lagosians will become ex-convicts in the next few years!

Somebody help!
Lwfmh!
I'm laughing so hard that my driver is wondering what's happening on my screen.
I actually thought that the NDA is a millitary style university.
So these millitary chiefs with all their years at Sandhurst, et al are not ashamed to come to the public with welded angle bar and call it anti-bombing device?
Even Oshiomole boys that lay siege at the Benin by- pass has a better vehicle stopper than this.
This is definitely not worth celebrating, nay! Not by the Nigerian army!

Hehehehehe
I thought I had gone deaf mid-air with some ear-drum shattering pains!
Well, it was a local LOS-OWR on that faithful day.
Back in the days when Aero were still serving in-flight foc, so I was enjoying the ride/flight, nibbling away on some peanuts when all of a sudden, I felt my jaw muscles stiffen! I couldn't chew anymore as the pains just kept increasing as if my ear drums want to tear open. Immediately too my hearing began to fade and all I could hear was a steady whistling sound.
I was afraid and confused at the same time, I looked around to see if any other person was showing sign of pain, but people were just normal.
It was so terrible that I nearly wanted to shout that the 'driver' should stop and let me off!
Anyway, as a gentleman, I painfully endured the ordeal till we landed, I just sauntered out looking for the next available analgesic to clear the pain. It took another 2days for my hearing to return fully.
Then I began googling to discover its a rare occurrence that happens especially when your sinuses are narrowed due to cold and cattarh. Ever since, I use nasal spray to free up my sinuses before take-off.
Coincidentally today gain, I just got off the plane, and it was a terrible experience still as I didn't use the spray, but then I already knew what to expect, unlike that first experience.

What manner of protest is this?
Tell these folks to storm their bank head office, and ground their operations, they will call them for a truce immediately.
Why waste energy at BRF's office that will not yield any result.
I still have the picture of UNION bank picketing by their staff on the same issue last year when I ran into them on Marina. Nobody told their Mgt to jaw-jaw ASAP.
That's the most effective thing to do!

Hehehehehe
I hope everything is Ok in Nairaland?
Errrm...Seun the Oba of Nl are you sure you are OK? With all these Okays going on here
Well your Olori, Mukinatudeen started this Ok business, hope she is okay too?

Anyway, It's Ok by me, if everybody is Okay

I think that companies are beginning to realize that these Jerks are costing organizations dearly, in terms of loss of human capital.
So what my HR has been doing recently is sensitizing staff about 'Jerk Behaviour' and warning Supervisors to desist from exhibiting certain attitudes towards their subordinates.
If your subordinate reports you to HR and has proofs to support you've been acting like a Jerk, you may well be on your way OUT!
So the catch phrase is, 'Be a team player, Don't be a Jerk'!

This move is as daft as Nigerian Commissions can get.
You went and arrested a product Consumer instead of the ISP that provided the bandwidth? Does the bank manager know anything about frequency?

Very soon police will start arresting people eating bread at home, leaving out the bakeries, because the bread doesn't have the right quantity of GEJ's cassava content. Absolute Stupidity!

Wow!
I still faintly remeber the Ali and the visiting Angel's story!
That should be Oford English I guess.
Dude got a seat and a pair of slippers set in his room.
Called up the whole community that an Angel is on a visit and that only the righteous ones can see him
So each person will go in privately and commune with the Angel, when you come out, you'll describe his appearance
If you come out and say there is nobody on the seat, then you are a sinner and couldn't see the Angel.
Can't even remember how the prank ended. My little mind then couldn't grasp the lesson.

PHIPEX: Am not a pessimist but am having an issue with this statistics. There are about 7 Billion people in the world, does it mean that atleast 1 in every 7 persons in the world own a Computer?

You are limiting your figures to individuals, think about corporations, govt establishments that owns tens of thousands of computers.

Spyder Odogwu Nwoke!
Great job you are doing here as usual. This is really a huge unconventional travelogue for Enugu. Hope Sullivan gives you an award. Lol
Remember I told you in the property section that I'll like to see you whenever I breeze in.
Will you be free at lunch time tomorrow? Let me know if we can meet @d Barcelos or Chitis, Independence

Come on guys,
This ain't no juju or miracle anything.
It's one of the oldest tricks in the bag.

One smart Alec must have been planning the heist for some time, you know
Tracking down how they handle the offerings before going to the bank
So he gets down with a bunch of papers and start cutting them to size
Wraps them up and waits for the lady to step out of the office
He sneaks in (or uses an insider), substitues the real deal with the paper
Cuts out before anybody could suspect jack
Now the lady comes in, feels the bag and reassures herself that al iz wel
Grabbing the bag she heads for the bank
Only to open the bag and discover that magic has happened!

Lesson: Insist on the use of PoS for goods n services, including tithes and offerings!

Well, mine was voted the BEST PLACE TO WORK IN NIGERIA recently.
If i dislike anything, it'll be that salary increase review doesn't come every year!

I think it should be, so that it can take care of the inflationary tendencies caused by our looting politicians every year.

why give an American company the right to build (6) whopping Refineries Why not 2? And then give other companies room to build too, at least to engender healthy competition.
This sounds like a whole sale of the petrol economy to these Uncle Sam's reps if it ever comes to fruition.
Besides $4.5b is not that much that we can't pull some funds from the foreign reserves and execute this ourselves.
So, when will our own indigenous refineries start producing?

What is all this y'hello nonsense
I personally don't use their line but this is killing business.
I've got tons of PoS terminals out there that can't process transactions because of this rubbish.
They should pay people to do their job!

I will say YES to the question. But the issue for me will be, where does it lead to?
Basically, online allows people to consciously project a type of drop dead gorgeous personae which they can only dream of in real life.
It only takes a careful presentation of sterling attractive qualities, meant to impress and endear the other party, who has no inkling of what lies behind the screen.
My take is that if you find yourself getting attracted to an online personality, take a pause and arrange for an offline date, it will give you room to evaluate what you have been discussing online.
That also means that having a long distance love-interest online is a dangerous thing, because you might spend years building on that fantasy, and by the time you see the person live, you'll discover it's been wasted years.

Isn't it funny how these carnal men that knew nothing about the scriptures are freelancing advice here to a Pastor that ought to know better.
There is nothing like irreconcilable differences in a Christian Marriage. Unless either of the partner is an unrepentant adulterer, else forgive and allow that Love you professed in the beginning to cover the multitude of wrongs done by your partner.

Now, this is an express Licence for some members that needed to show more love and understanding in their troubled marriages to call it quits, afterall their Pastor has done it twice without giving a damn like GEJ doesn't about a constitutional Asset
Declaration.
Broken homes are terrible things to the society as the kids mostly turn cold and vindictive, disoriented and harder to raise unto maturity.
Being a family-oriented man, I believe that men should be able to give anything to protect the wholesomeness of their families.

The basic reason why you get your windscreen fogged during rains, causing poor visibility is as a result of temperature difference between the car interior and the atmosphere.
Since the atmospheric temp is cooler, the warmer air inside the vehicles vaporizes by the wind screen, causing the fog.
While there's a fog lamp to dry out the rear wind shield, there is none for the front, So your best bet is when you get to a stand still or to a flood free location, put on the AC and chill the interior below the atmospheric temperature to clear out the fogs in front, or better still use the good old manual towel wiping process.
Enjoy your driving in the rain.
I love it so much!

Being Privy to what went down here (my company being on the list), let me try to throw more light on how the ranking was done.
1.The Rating Agency contacted the companies to enroll in the survey(Not sure the total no. of companies involved)
2. This means that if a company was not enrolled, it stood no chance on the list at all
3. Like the title implies, it's not the most profitable companies, but the Best places to work for (based on staff testimonials)
4. A questionare of about 30-40 different topics ranging from the companies staff welfare, mgt structure, organisational goals, appraisal objectivity, promotion process, company sponsored trainings, etc. was put up on their site and a link sent to staff email to respond
5. I got the mail, clicked on the link and took about 15mins answering the questionare. Clicked on submit after I was done
6. Remember that your answers goes to the rating agency directly, so your company has no input on what you answered (I believe some staff must have used this opportunity to slam their companies)
7. It was a rare opportunity for staff to objectively rate their own companies based on their personal experience and perception, the way you will never express directly if asked by your company
8. So, basically I can say that the list cannot be flawed based on the used criteria
9. For the people arguing that so and so company must have made the cut, find out first if their staff participated, and what their personal experiences working there entails

Erm... Did I write all these? Whew!

What then shall we say to these things...
Great folly is being set on high places.
Never build your model on a human hero!

Guys, I use HP ProBook 6560b.
Recently, i noticed the sound became so horrible as if the speaker diaphragm is shattered. The sound is perfect if i use ear piece, though. So knocking out driver issue.
Can i change the speaker? What's the cost estimate?
Ideas Anyone?

Here is what you need bro http://www.firstbanknigeria.com/Products/DebitandCreditcards/FirstBankVisaGoldCard/tabid/699/Default.aspx

No need for stories! You don't even need to have an account with them.

Just thank me later.

MOD. Please correct that spelling of Fake on front Page. It took a while to decode what you meant.

One advice for folks, especially graduate job seekers, any company that asks you for any payment in order to process your application is fraudulent.
Back in '06 when guys were red eyed on Tue/Thur Guardian, my strategy was that any advert that is not up to at least half-page doesn't catch my fancy at all. Because I discovered most of those criminals usually do classifieds, and funny enough, they always have all manner of openings with lax requirements.
EstherBreakthroughs had even become so notorious back then, I'm surprised they still exist today, living off job seekers ignorance.
May be they might help some ill schooled folks get some cleaning or factory labourers job, but graduates jobs? Not a chance !

SimonAndal: It's not practical. Doesn't look, and doesn't feel practical. #JustSayin'

You are right bro.
They've said the same thing to every other inventor.
Just that they will prove you wrong again, very soon

The Arbiter: By all means please change your passwords. But recall i said [size=16pt]hashed[/size] passwords. Its really simple to hash your password and pop it in to check. I dont give advice without due diligence and i check and double check my facts to verify correctness and authenticity. I take web security seriously.

By the ways every1, secure passwords should look like this [size=14pt]as#1vb@63ut=&sg%[/size] in any combination of letters, numbers and special characters of your choice and should be at least 15 characters in length.

Dude, It's a criminal offense for you to lead people to verify a third party password/PIN on your site, for whatever reason
You want to do some time in jail or what?

Kagawa: Top music producer K-Solo married Kikelomo Akinkunmi in November 2011. By May 2012, the marriage was over. The wife told City People in an exclusive interview that the marriage ended because K-Solo was in it for money and also because he assaulted her so much she lost the pregnancy she was carrying when they got married. (pictured above).


Kikelomo's story...
K-Solo and I met on Facebook in April 2011 and continued our friendship on Blackberry. We eventually met face to face at a show in Eko Hotel in Lagos. I am not really based in Lagos. I am always in Warri, Port Harcourt, South Africa or Cameroon. I am always traveling because of my business. But because of K-Solo I started coming to Lagos frequently after we started dating.

By August of 2011 we started having issues. He was actually scamming one girl. One Leilani Ifeoma in Houston, Texas. Apparently they have not met physically, they met on the internet and she was also into entertainment so K-Solo started scamming her, collecting money from her and promising her marriage. The day I got to know I was in his house. He left his phone and stepped out, so I picked the call and I told her I am K-Solo's wife and the lady said it wasn't possible because they were planning to get married. When I asked him about her, he said please don't mind her, and later said he was sorry. But when I continued to demand for answers, he started beating me despite the fact that I was pregnant. He carried a lamp and threw at me.

Met on FB in April, issues started in August, you went ahead and Married in November, then instead of lovely honeymoon, beating and nightmares followed!
My dear lady, if all this stories from you are real, then you need your own head examined!
Looks like someone gave you a bet that you cannot get married, and you wanted to prove otherwise by checking in with the devil's PA.

afam4eva: Is your GTB naira mastercard a debit or credit card? I've tried using my GTB mastercard and it was not accepted. Try getting a zenith websurfer. It works almost everyone.

Yeah, I think some people miss that policy that most online payment platforms accept Credit cards ONLY, so you need to confirm that the Card is not a debit card.
Meanwhile FirstBank's VISA GOLD is another valid option for online payments.
