I used to have this belief that obas and kings are immortals.

I never knew obas go to court.

Lol, I heard Masquerades were spirits but one was Arrested and locked up in my villa few years back

This one of the reasons Rochas Okorocha is slimy dupe. There is no functional Water Corporation in Imo State. Every new estate in Owerri in particular and Imo State in general has its borehole. The existing buildings in Owerri do not have running water. What the hell Okorocha’s government is talking about Water Corporation and privatization. A person does not privatize what he or she does not have.  

Even electricity is provided by any family that can afford generators. A family without generator can be in darkness or without electricity for weeks.

I traveled to Owerri lately and the urge to eliminate certain people in power or whosoever that ruled or ruling Nigeria kept propping up in mind.

i lived in Works Layout, Owerri for 5 years (2006-2011) and used pipe-borne water in our house (bathroom, kitchen, etc) throughout my stay.
I agree the infrastructure is inadequate but that was the case with NITEL , PRIVATISATION IS THE SOLUTION.

The poster and whoever sent this topic to the front page are ethnocentric slowpokes. I guess u grew up in d village. If u had grown up in a cosmopolitan environment, u would not be strirring ethnically sensitive issues. Get a life, bigot!

GEJ embarrasses me once again

(There's a certain poster in this thread (username witheld) that has baffled me with his stark negligence of ALL grammatical rules of the English Language.
Nobody says u MUST write in English. Pidgin will do just fine)

NIGERIA is not gonna split. But unfortunately the war against b(OKO) ha(RAM) will stretch on for at least a decade.
You all had better got yourselves a gun cos E GO RUGGED O

Salary or Self Employed, Which do u prefer?

they both have their risks, I may be self-employed nw and earning 200k a month but will still jump at a job offer of 750k/month.

Barr. Gene:
Never ever work for someone! The job security is never there. Start your every own company today! The earlier you start, the better for you. A word is enough for the wise.

if everyone starts a company, then nobody's gona work for anybody, I agree we need more entrepreneurs but the hierarchy's gotta be there.

Cleanman:
The truth is most Nigerians dont give a f-u-c-k about twitter, facebook is where the sh,it is happening!, check Nigeria facebook users alongside other african countries.

Nigeria's still in 3rd position on fb users in Africa behind Egypt and South Africa,

"U better get ur guns, better get ur vests, cos in Naija its a wild-wild west." (apologies to MI)

He's an A$$HOLE!!

The Black Race, Its the same story from Haiti to Zimbabwe,

Serves him right. Although the mobsters have to face the law too for extra-judicial killing.

1.Over 200 "ROASTED" in pipeline inferno.

2. Clash leaves 10 dead- - Residents and passers-by in Okokomaiko and its environs were thrown into PANDEMONIUM as two groups of street urchins engaged in a BATTLE OF SUPREMACY,


ETTEHGATE SAGA: Reps exchange "BLOWS". -- DECORUM was thrown into the air in the lower chamber of Nass as members engaged into a FREE-FOR-ALL combat,

Road accidents of course, Over 700 folks died on Lagos-Benin route in 2010 only

The Biafra war was an OIL war, shikena!

Kool, Its a pity our Army aint sophisticated like the West. In Israel, its normal to see 18-year old military chics brandishing their UZZI rifles.  Try dem, and dey gon put a hole ryt in ur ass!

It depends on d person's background. An igbo person that grew up in a remote rustic area in the east and having heard biased tales of how every Yoruba folk is a juju freak will be apprehensive whenever he/she sees a yoruba person. Same with a yoruba person tha spent all his/her life in a rural settings sans any form of contact with outsiders will probably grow with the notion that all igbos are cannibals and blood-money freaks. What values and beliefs do you expect the two people mentioned above to pass to their children, even if they are to relocate to Lekki or Abuja?

Whoever didn't know about Royalty payments before now is an unenlightened cretin! That's the problem with Nigerians, we no dey gree find facts, !

I think i'm developing a crush on that oil Lady.

Act! Dont talk,

Naija Drama,
If only Nollywood could be this creative,

My estimate: Nigeria's GDP = $300bn (2009 estimate).

1 day's loss= 300bn/365 = $821.9m.
Total loss = 821.9*6 = $4.93bn.
Dunno the % contribution of oil in the GDP.
But at 2 million bpd and 40% royalty accruing to govt and $100 per barrel
oil revenue = 2m*100*0.4*7 = $480m durin d strike.
Net loss = $4.45bn
of course some commercial activities still went on, say at 30% level
loss = 0.7*4.45= 3.115bn
which gives 'actual' net loss of 482.8 BILLION NAIRA.

Dem don pay pensioners finish? Wey dem wan pay ALL aged people, I want to avoid the embarrassment of seeing our graduates carryin placards and protesting over arrears, Good idea but we need a Comprehensive Database first.

Q: What do you call a g.a.y man with a hard -on?

A: HOMO ERECTUS,

Collateral Damage, I believe there were lesser deaths durin d strike cos of less vehicular movement,

Oju-iku, Retardeen (this one gets the biscuit), slowpoke, man-lover.

dmainboss:
He defeated the PDP northern consensus candidate
He shoved IBB aside
He defeated Buhari, Ribadu
He has increase PMS price by over 50%

He withstood the harrasment and fury of Millions of Nigerians
He brushed aside a one week nationwide strike. He didnt even reply his critics who were pouring venom at a music jamboree in Lagos
He has "declared a subtle state of emergency" in Lagos
He brutalized El Rufai
He has sign the dreaded FOI bill into law
He has repealed the dreaded official secrets act. These are laws that can really expose him
He is fast tracking the PIB

And they still say he is clueless, weak and slow and is only a fisherman! I didnt know fishermen were this great. When I grow up, I want to be a fisherman!

The most sensible post i've ever come across on NL!! I am so copying this.

chromoTop:
dear Fo.ool
i write this letter in good faith that your stup.idity will be worse than that of GEJ. FYI:
not everybody  supported ODI killing, and how can i convince your inability to read that Lagos is not home to yorubas but all ethnic groups in nigeria?
i sincerely wished you were not a part of the over 10 million graduates that cannot string a sentence without some form of error in it.
baby grow, life starts when you start reading newspaper.

Hi M.O.R.O.N,
       I've lived in Lagos for ten years. I don't have to 'read' about lag.
Odi's case was unfortunate but are you not aware that troops occupied The streets of yenegoa and environs for months during the Agitation of ND folks?
Talking of grammatical errors, please review your post again and if you cannot spot any lexical and structural blunders then you are a big ,

OBJ's troops occupied Bayelsa, GEJ troops occupied Lagos, 50-50!

Wise

The President's speech was sent to different media organisations before hand. Sahara Reporters are crappy! Surviving on propaganda!

alexleo:
For all i care, Jonathan is moving on the right track. This is not America. Nigeria protesters are usually mixed up with people whose understanding of protest is violence, stealing and killing of each other. Let this protest nonsense stop. Let the subsidy be removed entirely. If GEJ keeps quiet u people will say he is weak, when he reacts u people will say he is anti masses. Make una stop all these your foolish comments on Jonathan. U people occupied last week and GEJ allowed u, and now its his turn to occupy thru the army. Pls keep your mouth shut.

u are right, bros.  Protests are a part and parcel of democracy but trying to arm-twist the govt is not! I am even disappointed Dat GEJ  reduced the price to 97. It means he has removed d subsidy and restored it partially. Thats retrogressive. Anyway, i know d subsidy will b totally taken out by April. And NASS wil now pass the PIB wit d speed they passed anti-same sex marriage bill. Diezani is a high-octane technocrat. Likewise NOI and SLS.  U dont expect them to tell u only wat u want to hear- thats the work of political appointees. They stand for the truth and im solidly behind them.!!

Those calling for military intervention are basically r.e.tar.ded!! Is the military transparent?? All they will do is loot till a new leader is sworn in!!
HATE IT OR LOVE IT, SUBSIDY (FUEL) MUST GO!!!
We will keep our eyes on all govt officials to be accountable (including the local govt chairmen). They must be transparent and cut waste. Naija must move forward. Reverting to 65 is retrogression. Period!
