I intend to get a BMW X3 Premium 2007 model car from Cotonou at the best price possible within the next 2 weeks. Please can someone assist with the price and landing cost in Lagos?

One love @ all.

@Kazizms
Yes, we resumed yesterday. A lot of persons didn't turn up. My guess is that they haven'trrfffr1bbbbr1ggerr yet gotten the info. But I know that phone calls were placed to those on the list. 158 made it in.

Thank God, I made it! I waited for 2+ years for today to come. God has proven one more time that His silence doesn't mean He has forgotten His own. See you guys on monday!!

Another week, another wait, !

Suddenly, everything is in reverse motion,

@kazizms
Sniff around. Something is cooking,,,! The end seems near!

@LAVIV:
Ok. Would be waiting,

@LAVIV
Please send an sms to that number and I'll pick it up to call you back. You may just text ur email, 2go or messenger name for privacy reasons. The number is off presently. We'll get there soon. One love, !

@LAVIV:
Please be kind enough to ring me up on 08090818418 or just buzz and I'll call you back. Lets talk. I guess this matter is becoming unbecoming. Do you have a full list of the states to be excluded?

@Laviv
134 and 101 persons made the first and second lists respectively.

@Touns1234
I don't think your info is correct. No one is there yet, to the best of my knowledge.

Sorry, that info was for Ndychrst

@LAVIV:
I'm not sure your info is totally correct. There's no such thing as recruitment board in the organization. It's the management board that is responsible for approving all employment issues. I guess that must have been done before now. I have reason to believe so because it is only after they approve that the list is sent to FCC. And my feelers indicate that FCC has already been put on notice.

@Laviv:
That is a very funny dimension. Don't worry tourself about the noise you hear on radio. Nobody uses Voter's card for anything except, to vote. NDIC is a very responsible organization that won't dabble into politricks. Yes, the wait has been very long. However, some of us who were part of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd batch tests have waited since Feb. 2009! If your first time was the 3rd batch, then you've just been onboard for only 3 months. Calm your nerves and relax. We've all played our part. The rest is for God to finish off. I know, He truly never lets His people down. Keep the faith for it shall be over soon.

I can confirm that this month is decisive. The end is nigh.

@Ndychrist:

My brother, I have no information o! We are all in the waiting game. My gut instincts tell me that the wait may be over soon; within this month.

Please someone say something here!

", the party don't want to be dragged into unnecessary litigations, the restriction is going on smoothly and INEC is looking into the problems, " (Quote from President GEJ while fielding questions with newsmen at MMA, Ikeja. 18/01/2011)

Please add your own. Let's keep them honest!

@wesley80:
Don't attack me.  Rather, prove me wrong.  You have no idea whatsoever about the standard and quality of our education and the things we see everyday in the field.  You may not believe me.  Try and conduct interviews or call for handwritten applications for employment in your organization some day.  I guess, you would know better! You simply don't have any idea at all about my assertions above!

Prof. Jega has shown a very sad level of incompetence in this exercise.  He refused to heed advices of experts, sorrounds himself with docile, old, uninspiring people all the time.  Upon assumption of office, a lot of people offered to assist Jega to carry this asignment through but he roundly rejected them.  It is sad that registration of voters vide the DDC machines in 2011 has suddenly become rocket-science because of very poor and inept planning.  Mind you, the same sort of computers are being used by the Telcos to register SIM cards without any hue.  Same goes for the many national exercises in this country.  I remember that in 2002, SAGEM SA registered and issued Nigerians with National ID Cards using a very simple and cheap equipment successfully.  The programme had it's share of problems, but it wasn't anything compared to the INEC fiasco currently going on.  And, that was 8 years ago!  Before the 2003 General Elections, Prof. Maurice E(I)wu also conducted voters registration using laptops that were also romantically named DDC!  Still, whoever went out was registered.  The flawed system then, generated uproar and Nigerians therefore clamoured for a new system, hence, the current exercise. prof. Ewu used about a third of the number of DDC's compared to Jega's.  

It is very sad indeed, that we are now faced with the prospect of having to compare our own dear Prof. Jega with Prof. Ewu.  And if care is not taken, Ewu may turn out to be a better election manager, at the end of the day (God forbid)! For one may ask, of what need was a new Voter's Register if the fundamental component necessary to forestall double-registration and registration by ghosts (biometric data capture and authentication) is bye-passed because the equipment are not functioning optimally or, the operators lack the skills-set to run the equipment?  How could it be that prof. Jega, the immediate past VC of Bayero University - Kano, does not know that a vast majority of graduates churned out by Nigerian Universities can't use the mouse and keyboard effortlessly? Does it mean, he was out-of-touch with the community he presided over? Does he not know that every graduate of the Nigerian tertiary education system, who has managed to graduate even with a Pass class of degree must embark on the NYSC and that most of the corps members are not employable and cannot even spell their names at all?  Something is definitely wrong with our dear Professor!

Na wa o! Everyone is so quiet!

Nsiman = serial fraudster ala Commandclem. How can he post about integrity anywhere?

Cry my beloved country! A lot of people are so DUMB, even on this thread! So a photo-op with Obama is a national achievement? Na wa to all of u!

4 call rates- any shorter dan 4 minutes Eti is in d lead but over 4 minutes Airtel takes over. Depends on how long u call.
4 BIS- make dem crash d price down 2 1k sef. @ least its sure 4 me dat MTN will maintain d 3k per month. Na Nokia C3 start ds war.

^^ Above is incorrect. The lowest rate now is Airtel. You pay N36 for the first minute of your first call in a day. Every other call is billed .20k per second which equals N12/minute. On the other hand, Etisalat bills 25kobo per second which equals N15/minute. You are also surcharged a daily access fee of N20. There is no way Etisalat is cheaper than Airtel. That is a fact. Please let us stop spewing out wrong info here. Added to this, Etisalat takes the N20 daily access charge at 0.00hrs everyday, whether you use the phone for the day or not. In contrast, Airtel takes that N36 for the first one minute of call ONLY when you make your first call of the day. If for any day you don't initiate any call, your money remains for you.

ino! ole! barawo! onye osi! thief! All of you scammers of commandclem would rot in hell!

I've taken time to read through this entire thread. Sadly, so many people don't seem to understand what made Tinapa moribund. I'll attempt to explain the many factors here.
Tinapa was concieved as a PPP initiative, primarily funded by a consortium of banks with loans that were to be repaid after some period of time. Funding came from organizations, such as Ecowas bank, Togo, UBA, First bank, CRSG, etc. By design, it was suppoed to be a free-trade-zone, such that every item of trade was to attract zero import duty.

The branding was perfect, marketing was cool and a lot of money went into building the image of the resort. Multinational organizations, such as Shoprite, Flamingo Stores, Clear Essesnce, Vlisco, Woodin, etc were thrilled by the hype that sorrounded the project to come over and rent spaces, and fully pay for same for two years in advance. I was personally involved in setting up IT backbone for most of these organizations. Unfortunately, the Nigerian factor set in. Obasanjo withheld his accent to the proclamation that was to grant full free-trade-zone status to the project. Most of the organizations that paid for space found it difficult to stock up. Those who tried, were forcibly shut down by the Nigerian Custom Service under the pretext that there was no gazetted documentation, excluding Tinapa from paying duties.

This standoff dragged on for years. Most of the rent paid ran out. The organizations ran huge bills, incurred heavy loses and parked out of the resort. Those who kept their staff in hotels had to scamper to transfer such staff back home. The management couldn't muster enough resources to keep the hugely expensive TV jingles on the air. Tinapa gradually turned to a ghost town , and the fun died. By the time Umaru Yaradua signed the gazette, Tinapa and all the euphoria sorrounding it had completely kaput. That is the story of our dear Tinapa. The blame rests with Uncle Shegge who never intended the project to succeed. The stupid fear was, if Tinapa gets the anticipated patronage it was sure to get, the so-called commercial capital - Lagos, especially the ports would have been threatened. It was purely a matter of the Yoruba hegemony! yet, there was nothing to show that Tinapa would have threatened anybody, let alone, any business interest in Nigeria.

^^^^^ It wasn't 5.30 am. It was about 3 am. Look, the guy was stopped by the police at Mushin Area, he meandered away dangerously while returning from a party. The police gave him a chase. They also radioed all the police formations that some dangerous person was on the prawl, and may have escaped from a robbery scene. The police in Onipanu set up a concrete roadblock. He drove into the roadblock, and the chasing car then caught up with him and openned fire! If you read my contribution carefully, I couldn't have meant that the Police was right. Never! They had no reason to shoot, let alone kill Femi Yahoo. However, at that hour of the night, why was he running from the Police? He deliberately put himself in harm's way. even in developed countries, if a man acts in a way that suggests that he is bridging public peace and safety, and all eforts to track him down fail, he could lose his life in the circumstance. Remember that illegal immigrant in the UK earlier this year? Life is precious and has no duplicate. People should learn to thread with caution especially when dealing with the Nigeria Police. They kill easily. The reports are many and some of them, like this one, are completely avoidable!
