Yankari? This guy's head is in his arsse!

I've been to Yankari 3 times in 2015 only... And it doesn't even compare to Dubai 30 years ago when it was still a pile of sand.

Bhuahahahahahaa!!! You are too harsh bro.

I was in Yankari about 10years ago! However, from the current pictures I've seen of the place, there is clearly no improvement on what was available then.
Apart from the warm spring which is fun to swim and soak in during the cold periods, I can't say anything else is impressive.

this statement tells us why Nigeria is still backward and why we keep singing the praise of corrupt men while asking EFCC to chase shadows

Your problem is comprehension, really. Read that statement again, but this time, in slow motion.

The Redeemed Christian Church of God(RCCG) may emerge the most influential in the Buhari-led administration with the position of some of the church's pastors. Below are ordained pastors in RCCG who are in Buhari's government:

1) Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN - Nigeria's Vice President

2) Mr. Babatunde Fowler - Ag. Chairman, Federal Internal Revenue Service(FIRS)

3) Pastor Ben Akabueze - Special Adviser on Planning to the President

4) Pastor Laolu Akande - Spokesman to Nigeria's Vice President

5) Pastor Okechukwu Enelamah - Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment

Osinbajo and Akabueze served as commissioners during Asiwaju Bola Tinubu's tenure as Lagos State governor, while Fowler was for many years(from Tinubu's tenure till the end of Fashola) the Lagos State Tax Chief.

You can accuse Tinubu of all the looting, but you can't take away his eye for talent.
He has brought many good heads to limelight in the public service.

"Dr. Chukwuma showed designs for Bullet proof version which he'll deliver to me in 90 days."

Senator Ben Murray-Bruce said that he paid for the cars with his personal funds not government money. That he believe in this nation.

The man in Zebra crossing shirt and suit though!

All these jobless eRats have deviated from the substance of the interview, and are shouting Peter Obi and comparing governors. What has any governor got to do with an Enterpreneural Spirit that the man is trying to inculcate in the minds of our people?

I won't be surprised that most of these political jobbers didn't even read the interview. #Rubbish

I still don't trust these products going by the antecedents of easterners at producing most things with low standard materials. I won't be surprised if these cars pack up in maximum of 2years. Its better to stick to foreign cars that we've tested and trusted. There are other ways to grow the economy than put Nigerian lives at risk all because an Igbo man is desperate to make money. The senate needs to ban innoson for now

A poor man's trust is never needed when money matters are discussed

Osun should be merged with Anambra state

Mbanu! You only merge when entities are co-equal, otherwise it's outright acquisition, with the attendant sack of redundant staff.
So, it's a question of Anambra acquiring Osun, while they send Aregbe and his band of thieves commissioners parking.

I don't agree with your classification, So let me tweak it a little bit;

1. Your Lower class should actually be survivors! How can you term a family of four with annual income of N1m as Lower class? When a 3bed flat in any decent part of Lagos is now aprox. 600k/annum. Add school fees to the mix and the man is sweating by the middle of every month.
This earner can only manage a mini-flat with his large family!

2. Your middle class should be the Lower class- Earning 2-6m/annum with a family of four can afford one a decent living, a good apartment in a decent neighbourhood, fairly good schools for the kids, Clean Tokumbo cars and a few change for fine dinning at good restaurants, but it will be hard to raise enough equity to finance your own home.

3. Your upper middle class, should be the Middle class proper - Earnings of between 10-20m/annum is about the range where one can at least enjoy some luxuries, you can afford to buy your own home/apartment, get the kids in a high profile school, afford family vacations abroad, brand new cars... etc...

4. Upper Class - Over 20m in annual earnings, these are the top management cadres in solid companies, Real successful SME business owners, he can afford a 5-6bed duplex at the Lekkis of this country, with the retinues of drivers and cooks; they are the ones 'chopping life', their earnings are already hedged against any form of inflation

5. The top 1% should be those above 50m/annum, top dog Enterpreneurs and the politicians, their lifestyles need no introductions

Looooolllll
I'm beginning to understand that Lie-More-Ahmed actually studied propaganda as a course.
Whenever people want to complain about the utterly failing economy and the most ridiculous budget the country has ever seen in recent times, the EFCC will quickly arrest one person and get the Print media to scream one attractive defeaning head-line.

Pray-tell, what else can an ADC tell us that will burn Nigeria, when we already have Dasuki, the NSA for months.
The ADC is a mai-guard for the Oga, his signature cannot even approve more than N100k, so he should go and sit down.

The only thing that is causing Nigeria to burn is the state of economy which is in utter disarray, and needs to be urgently addressed.

Haters would say they are not Anambra-led heart surgeries, that they are foreign surgeons "assembled" in Anambra. Always showing the light!

Haters would say they are not Anambra-led heart surgeries, that they are foreign surgeons "assembled" in Anambra.

The bolded is hilarious mehn!!!
Anambra, isi na ebu Ogidi!

Anyways, this is a very good news for the country.
What if we can add a cancer center there?
And then another state sets up an equally good urology and kidney center, gradually we'll become self sufficient in health care

adsonstone:
The part in bold is simply a lie.

Any proof to counter that? Perhaps a clip of the attendance register?

I hardly know anything about the history of both kindgoms but this line of argument is very, very, very STRONG!

“For instance, the one they call the Oba of Lagos, these are recent adaptations. In the 50s, there was no Oba of Lagos, what we had was the Eleko of Eko. That is the title of the King there. In Ibadan, you have the Olu Ibadan. You come to Abeokuta, you have the Alake of Egba land. You come to Oyo, you have the Alaafin of Oyo. In Ilesha, you have the Owa-Obokun of IIesha. So no Yoruba monarch had as part of his titles the word Oba except the Oba of Benin.

“That word Oba is indigenous to Benin. It is only in recent times you find everybody bearing Oba. When the Western Regional conference of traditional rulers took place in Benin City in 1942, go and check the attendance, there was no other monarch in the whole of the Western Region then that bore the title of Oba, except the Oba of Benin.

I have seen people like freelanswer quote me and Sexymoma concurr.

I really think some people need to comprehend statements before jumping into conclusion. Every dick and Tom knows how fetish the rites and traditions of the ooni stool is; it was on this same forum that we got information on the rituals that he had to undergo in the name of the gods of their land before he can be crowned ooni of ife.

Now, a pastor is praying for him; minutes after he will go back to his land and continue his traditional practises which are in contradiction with the teachings of God and the pastor praying for him.

'Choose ye this day whom you will serve'!

You are absolutely right bro.
Unless Adeboye went to preach to him to forsake the yoruba gods, burn all the fetishes and paraphernalias in his possessions and FOLLOW CHRIST.

Why did he return home to the Lioness he married after the first stab?




Foolish man, Devilish woman.... .. ... .

My dear, this was a pre-meditated murder. Even if the dude didn't return to the house that night, he may just buy a few more days.
The lady is a cold-blooded murderer. It's different if they had fisticuffs and she reacted in the spur of the moment.
Pray, never to have any dealing with a maniac!

banmee:
You do realize that there is a scientific explanation for why this happens right?

"Penis captivus is a rare occurrence in intercourse when the muscles in the vagina clamp down on the penis much more firmly than usual (a form of vaginismus), making it impossible for the penis to withdraw from the vagina. According to a 1979 article in the British Medical Journal, this condition was unknown in the twentieth century,[1] but a subsequent letter to the same journal reported an apparent case of penis captivus in 1947.[2] Penis captivus should not be confused with vaginismus, though a relation between the supposed event of penis captivus and the occurrence of vaginismus is assumed in the existing descriptions"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_captivus

Guy, why it is clear that this is a known medical condition.
What I found baffling is that almost all the reported cases in Nigeria are always people in adulterous relationship.
How come it doesn't happen between legal couples?

sapiosexual1:
You totally misinterpreted me, OK let me break it down. Look at the telecoms growth in Nigeria, when it first came to us, we recorded astronomical growth for about 10years, in which we became the fastest growing telecoms hub in the world, that was our upward slope. At that time, it didn't mean we were better off than western countries but we simply had a faster growth and telecoms appreciation. Today the growth has slowed and we are gradually approaching our plateau, not becd buying phones or SIMs but because the proportionate growth is evening out. Our teledensity is still quite low for a country of our population, but we have made significant progress.

My brother, you are still using a very wrong and unrelated premise for your analysis.
People acquire telephones and it stays with them for a long time.
On the other hand, Kids are born on a daily basis across the country and as they grow, they all get enrolled to nursery through to primary and then secondary schools.
Going by the 'official' population statistics in the country, you will expect SS and SE to have the least number of population compared to the other regions, so if by the time the kids starts registering for WAEC, official data shows that the least populated regions are producing higher numbers of WAEC candidates, it is easy to infer that either there were massive drop outs of kids in the other regions, or that most of those kids were never even enrolled in schools at all, as it is presently happening in most Northern states.
It is a burden for all of us, because an uneducated populace today is a massive burden on the country tomorrow, we must all put heads together to ensure that we achieve over 85% literacy rate, and not use excuses to dismiss a looming time bomb.

Oblongata:
The writer is a buffoon... You are talking WAEC and you are talking about jobs, which company employs WAEC holders? We should be worried if it were graduates he was talking about. No sentiments, but the number of professors from ekiti alone surpassess the number of professors from the first 5 states on that list

Yeah, graduates are products of moto parks right?
No need to take WAEC before becoming graduate.

sapiosexual1:
I join to celebrate the 'south east ' though I don't see a basis for trumping up perceived regional success, sectoral breakdown of results is to guide the government and relevant authorities on where and how to channel resources in making Nigeria fully educated in sync with the MDGs. So these analysis shouldn't be taken in isolation, it shouldn't be seen as a region's victory over another, we are one Nigeria.
Again looking critically at these results and it's trend, it's obvious that it's not a case of the SW loosing steam or slowing down, rather it's a case of the East rapidly opening up and embracing formal and secondary level education, the obvious impact of government attention based on previous statistics) as the East is on the upward slope of educational growth. In 20 years time, the East would get to the plateau which the SW has reached and it could be the turn of the NW or NC to be on the upward slope. Nigeria go better!

What a funny analysis you just ran here.
You mean SW parents has acquired enough education so much that their kids no longer need to enroll in schools? How do you get to a plateau in school enrollment?
It will really be hard to imagine you being part of any state policy making arm.

GAZZUZZ:
problem is still there, you just have a new battery that holds charge longer.

You seem to have missed the point. The new battery was also draining away within hours initially.

Trust me. The issue is FIXED.

All right guys!
It's about two weeks now, and I decided to really give it time before dropping another feedback.
I want to say firstly that the issue NEVER happened again, and that battery has been performing top-notch as it used to be.
While I will say that the Rewire didn't actually pi-point the actual culprit, and couldn't say for sure if the issue was fixed, but his trouble-shooting actions was very much standard procedure.
I watched a youtube clip on parasitic drain diagnosis, and it was exactly the same process, the only difference been that instead of using an Ammeter that can read slight differentials in current, he was using a pen bulb. I want to assume that while he was flipping ON and OFF various components switch, he unkwowing fixed one of them which was probably stuck in an ON position.

So, the good news is that I have been enjoying my ride ever since.

They said firstfruit belongs to the PRIEST alone, so you must give it to the PRIEST. (old testament injunction)

Then I looked into the scripture and discovered that the reason was because Levitical priests owned no single meter of land, so they cannot farm for themselves, therefore God commanded that the first and the best fruits be given to them by all Isrealites as their own inheritance.

Then I asked myself, after the abolition of the Levitical Priesthood as signified by the curtain to the holy of holies tearing from top to bottom the moment Jesus died, did any of the 12 Apostles or other succeeding disciples preach firstfruits? Nah!

Then again I asked the scripture, who is the the new testament Priest, and in Rev.1vs6 he said ...'And hath made US KINGS AND PRIESTS unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen' (emphasis mine)

So, you see, WE ALL ARE PRIESTS! Don't let anybody fool you.
When you check your today's Pastors accumulations, they definitely have far more landed properties than you can even imagine, so who should pay firstfruit to each other now?

Be wise, brethren!

Really?, Oba Akran of the popular avenue in Ikeja looted roughly N2bn in 1967!
Waaaawuuu!
So, is he a traditional ruler, or Oba is just his first name?
Meanwhile that Oba Akran Avenue should have been renamed immediately in the 70s, this idea of celebrating thieves seems to be in our DNA.

bloodyBLOGGER:
No ibo manwas worthy to be president, so Ohaneze told all ibos to jettison their ambition for the Failure called GEJ.

No Ibo man was worthy to be awarded Igbo man of the year, so Ohaneze gave it to Amaechi, the man that helped scuttle the plans of their clueless hero.

Is Rotimi Amaechi an Ibo man?



Are we now biafrans?- rotimi amaechi

My brother, these Ohaneze elders are bunch of opportunistic 1diots!
I heard Amaechi clearly on TV once denying his Igbo ancestry while asking rhetorically 'Are we now Igbos'? to his kinsmen in a gathering during GEJ got.
This award is stupidity of the highest order, they can as well give it to FFK next year, after all he''s been defending Nnamdi Kalu and IPOB.
Nonsense!

Interesting. Freeze actually made sense this time around.

UPDATE! UPDATE!!

I got a Rewire yesterday who came in with one pen bulb with cord, so we pulled out a good battery from another car and kick-started mine, he connected the pen bulb to one of the battery terminals and the bulb came on. I expected the dude to come over with a Voltmeter and take readings from some terminals, but he never did. (This is Nigeria where we test live cables with tongue)
He said normally the bulb should go off after a few mins if all connections are in order, but the bulb kept beaming.
So, he opened the fuse box, started yanking and replacing the fuselage one after the other, while watching to see when the pen bulb will go off, eventually the light never went off.
He advised that I'll need to bring it down to his workshop for a comprehensive scan today, as the preliminary checks didn't turn up any issue.
Later he removed the battery while the engine is still running and installed back my battery allowing it to charge up. As my battery charged up, he shut the engine and removed one of the cables (to avoid draining again) on the advise that when I'll leave in the evening, I'll replace the cable and then drive home. I was supposed to repeat the cable removal process when i get home in the night, and replace in the morning to start. So, in the evening I replaced the cable, cranked the car to life and went home, but I deliberately didn't want to remove the cable again.
I was preparing for another drama in the morning but surprisingly, when I cranked it, the battery was alive to it's duty and the engine came on immediately, so instead of going to the Rewire's workshop, I went to the office straight. As I parked, I still didn't remove the cable, just trying to see if it will drain again.
I just went to the car park now, and checked again, cranked and the car came alive!

I guess I can now assume that the world peace has been restored?
P.S. I called the battery dealer to keep my old battery for me, as I can see from these outcomes that the battery is still in good condition

After using Total 20w50 for 6 years plus on my 2001 Honda Civic, Is there any effect if i want to change to the manufacturers recommended 5w20?

DON'T!
I tried this with my Highlander recently, and the outcome wasn't pleasant.
Mobil 20W50 has been my regular for all the cars rated 5W20, so as I was buying fuel at a Mobil station, I spotted the 5W20 and i was excited to use the OEM recommended oil for the first time in Nigeria. I bought it immediately!
On my next oil change, I took it to the mechanic and did the service normally.
Just about 3 weeks later, I noticed that the oil has dropped from the dipstick!
The mechanic advised that I should topup and then watch it again as there was no leakage anywhere, I did and the shortage continued.

So the mech advised that I go back to the old grade, and that was how the shortage problem disappeared. I never went back to OEM grade!

Guys,
I am having this parasitic drain issue right now! Car is 2003 Highlander V6.
I packed the car yesterday morning and after switching off ignition (leaving the radio ON for like 3mins), I noticed the Radio audio deteriorating gradually, and the inner light too waning. So I switched off the ignition completely, then ON again but the battery gave those krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sound.
I said OK, maybe the battery is dead, having used it since it came in the car some 2 years ago, I called a battery dealer who came in with a new battery and installed it. Powered it ON and it responded one time with no hesitation, so without driving the car again, I shut down and went back to the office (that was around 12noon)

Then as I closed from work, I got to the car around 6pm to joyfully drive home, only to notice firstly from the remote key that the response from the car to UNLOCK the door was very very slow, so I opened the door, slotted in the key to start and the brand new battery gave NO RESPONSE!
As I tried starting, all the dash lights, inner lights, just dimmed and went off!

Please who can help trace this parasitic drain, I don't want all these Lagos rewires that use teeth to cut and join wires all over the place.

GMartyns:
Hello, I have to share this with you simply because I want to have you suggest and advice on what to do.

After my graduation, It's over a year now that I've been staying with my Elder Sister and her husband. No kids yet.  Believing God for a job. So I could be independent of anyone.

The issue is, I wonder how on earth my sister could marry him- an unbeliever. Him and my sister are just like two opposite poles. She's a believer, but the husband claims to be a christian but not ungodly so to speak. At a time, he stopped going to church for a period of 3 to 4 months.

He listens to corrupt songs, and at a time told my sister her parent would burry her soon. What transpired between them I could not tell.

He suddenly becomes rude, demanding that, I,  his brother in-law should wash every plate he uses to eat the food he cooks and dishes out by himself in the presence of my sister.

This is a man who stays at home all the day doing absolutely nothing. He is 40. I am 30.

Each time I return home, the kitchen is always messed up. And deliberately, leaves the kitchen in such a mess, so I could clean them up for him, since I'm staying with them. Yet, he could cook the food by himself, dished it by himself and sleep all all day or probably watch the TV .

My Sister works 7 to 7 daily, and most of the times, she would have been tired , returning from work.

We don't eat together. I wash every plate I personally use. Most times, I cook the food, and have him and my sister eat first. And then I dish mine later.

Lately, I have been observing some fastings, and I rarely go to the kitchen to cook nothing. Yet he demands that must wash every plate he uses to eat whether or not I eat on that day.

My question is, Is it right for my Sister's Husband to be demanding for such, asking me to wash his dirty plates? when he doesn't even care whether I have eaten or not.

He said and I quote " I can't be washing plates in this house, neither is my wife going to do same, you must wash every plate used in this house  henceforth"

To me, it is the hottest insult I have ever received. Not even my own mother would demand for such a dirty request...

Now, I resolved to not eating anymore in the house, probably that would put a stop to the ridicule.

Dude, this is my very sincere advise.
First things first. Move out of that house this very January! At 30! you shouldn't be living with your parents, not to talk of your brother in law, it's very degrading and takes away every dignity from you.
During my youth service (at a very much younger age), I made up my mind that I wasn't going back to 'our' house until I get my own apartment.
So after the youth service, I moved in with a friend, with that determination to be a man of my own as fast as possible. There I was when I got a job and moved into my own house.

Secondly, your sister chose whom to marry, allow them to marry themselves, she obviously knew he was lazy and jobless and still married him, you can't change him in his own house.
The only time you need to step in there is if he abuses your sister in a way of domestic violence, in that case I can even help you to beat the day light out of the guy's eyes.

Hahahahahaaa...
So Baba Falae, with all the pity I had on him during his kidnap saga, is actually one of the ELDERLY GOATS eating our precious yams. Anyway, i hope he knows that goats eventually end up in pepper soup pot?

In the first place how can his party not be aware that PDP gave them money to campaign for them? Is Falae the only person that holds all the executive positions?
Was the money paid into the Party's account or to Falae's personal account.

If it was in his personal account, then, he is a confirmed yam eater, and must face the music!.

Pencils? I want to believe this man is a Comedian I'm still waiting for the point were he rounds up and says 'Na Joke Ooo'

My brother, our country is a big fat joke. I am so ashamed of myself as I read this, we are planning to manufacture PENCIL (molten lead in a stick casing) in TWO YEARS time, and the minister is announcing it like other countries announces manufacturing of rockets and nuclear plants.

Ebony state Government donated truck loads of rice to some Northern states but can't donate common shuttle bus for the use of the airport?
SE governors can do this as their own contribution to the project.
Just cross over to Innoson''s office at Emene and tell him to supply 2 or 3 low bed shuttle buses.
Just chicken change
