Crime / Boy Killed Girl Friend Because Of Swimming Pool by chuksme(m): 5:22pm On Dec 15, 2011
Sources say that the Hot Girlfriend went to the pool without him and when she got back things got heated up as the dude was really Angry about the issue, So from the exchange of words then turned bloody when the boyfriend got hold of a knife and butchered his girlfriend like Goat meat. The two lovers were said to have fixed their wedding for the 17th of this month and are putting final touches to the wedding preparations before the devil struck . When the man was interogatted, he couldn’t say anything he just kept saying it is the devil’s work.The man was sober as he said it is the hand work of his detractors. Really whether it is the devil or not this is Jealously of the highest order

Politics / Re: Let's Have Your Complaints Here by chuksme(m): 6:05pm On Dec 12, 2011
I would like to categorically state that I have no qualms about any plan(s) that would move the country forward economically. However, starting that “economic plan” on a comic note is rather appalling. Perhaps, the senseless passion with which Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the President of Nigeria, presented the cassava bread would save the country from her plethora of economic woes. Or maybe, with this, one should conclude that our beloved country is on a journey to an inexorable destiny.

Hear the president: “…to formally present this bread to Nigerians. I have been eating this bread for the past one week and I will continue to eat this bread till I leave state house (sic).” After the presentation of the bread, a loud applause filled every corner of the room and shining smiles bounced on each face present. The bread was passed around to the “honourables” which they ate and got filled with “economic” wisdom. The bread heals!

One can summarise the event with these words: “Let us eat this bread and be rich.” The Minister of Agriculture, Adesina Akinwunmi, says the bread will, “create a lot of jobs, create markets for our farmers, stabilise prices and give us a pride in the fact that we are actually eating what we produce.”

The questions begin to spring up here immediately: what kind of jobs? Which farmers is the honourable minister referring to here? What pride is he talking about here? Whatever happened to the rebranding project? The minister was also quick to give beautiful statistics about the positive impact the bread would have on our National budget. However, most Nigerians, including me, would like to know the budget set out to produce the cassava bread. How many companies have been consulted to produce this bread? How much has been spent on marketing it? Who are the individuals involved in this project? Should we conclude that since the bread possesses some magical characteristics, it has no production cost or sale price? I stand to be corrected.

It seems that the bread’s mystical introduction would eliminate the realistic issues before our ordinary eyes. For instance, when you have one or two bites of the bread, one would immediately forget about the Boko Haram issues. There would be no more extermination of human lives in several parts of the country. A single bite by the Boko Haram instigators would give them a change of heart and make them smile forever. The bread is a psychological cleansing agent.

After all, according to Goodluck, “China closed all her doors and restructure everything and begin to think again (sic).” The key word here is “restructure” and this cannot start from the introduction of a mere commodity that would leave the country with no visible societal impact. May I use this medium to recapitulate what “restructure” means: “to change the make-up organisation, or pattern of something.” In that light, we may want to consider what needs to be changed or patterned appropriately in Nigeria.

First, the educational standard of Nigeria is standing with spindly legs and if appropriate measures are not taken to save her, she might collapse and die. Recently, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) embarked on an indefinite strike. Students would have to endure another season of idleness which sometimes leads to devilish acts. The magical bread would keep them from evil works. The bread heals! The UK, in 2009, made a whooping eight billion pounds from international students searching for good University education and Nigerian students alone contributed ten percent of that gargantuan sum. Suffice it to say, if proper “restructuring” takes place in the educational sector of Nigeria, we can avert such funds to our national income and invariably, equip the crippling minds of most youths in our country.

To gain the full “restructure” status, the nation needs to be free from all evil practices especially corruption. The President needs to lead by example. Let him declare his assets to the nation. Before we eat the bread of wisdom, can he tell us how much he has in his personal coffers? We have not forgotten quickly about how he waved the idea with his brave tone. Or did he eat the bread before now? What about the subsidy issue? Is that not something very important to talk about? The fabric of the nation is woven with threads of corruption. These threads should be changed before brilliant projects emerge in the social strata called Nigeria. Does the bread also make one forget the meaning of things? Does it make one reason unrealistically? To put it simply, does it make an individual blind to reality?

Strict attention should be paid to the unemployment issue in Nigeria. Over sixty percent of Nigerian graduates are jobless. Is it not an issue that deserves utmost attention? In 2012, the statistics might remain the same or grow worse as there are no structures set aside by this government to tackle unemployment. Then again, a mere bite of the so called cassava bread might make an unemployed individual believe he has a job.

Let us think about what the president said again. He said: “I will continue to eat the bread till I leave state house.” Nice. Is the bread already in circulation? Is it exclusive to Aso Rock members? Is the bread a magical avenue to suck in more funds? Some Nigerians would like the president to solve the major agricultural problems strangling the nation: provision of new farming technologies, proper education of local farmers and promotion of other agricultural commodities.

On another note, who advises the president? Is this the right time to come up with this project? I think there are other things the president and his expensive team could come up with. This is a weak shot!

History would not forgive individuals who use various approaches to pilfer from the national cake. It is only plain to see that Goodluck is toeing that line of presidents that would not contribute to the development of the country. Putting the wheel before the cart is a very dangerous exercise. Serious issues deserve serious attention. Let the president attend to more pertinent issues before attending to inane projects that would leave the citizens in their normal state. Nigerians deserve better!

Phones / Re: What Do You Do With Ur Bb? by chuksme(m): 6:07pm On Dec 02, 2011
Frankintop, thank .please, assist me in educating some of them.
Phones / Re: What Do You Do With Ur Bb? by chuksme(m): 5:59pm On Dec 02, 2011
it is Ignorance that made some people that are crazy about  BB, especially the Nigerian ladies. The highest thing, those ignorant ladies use the BB is just for chat and browse on facebook ,send mail and receive mail.Ask them of other functions of it they don't know.

They just buy BB to show that they belong to BB class thats all.

I read where someone mentioned that he used his BB to edith  MS word,Excel and other packages. That is part of the ignorance we are talking about. He is not aware that great numbers of Nokia High grade do the job better.Because some of them don't look for specifications of phone before they buy it. Buying of phones depends on what you want to use the phone for. I will mention a small nokia phone that does that edith  MS word and other applications which that person does not know.He should look for the specification of NOKIA E5.
Phones / Re: What Do You Do With Ur Bb? by chuksme(m): 5:29pm On Dec 02, 2011
A good Nokia Phone does all the things BB  does ok,even some Nokia phones do more than some BB.

There is what we call specification. when you are going to buy a phone, sit down and and search for full specification of that phone.

BB has its own specifications. I will guide or teach you people on how to look for specification of any phone you want to buy.

just simply go to google and write "full specification on the search box and click on search. It will give you the specification of the phone or blackberry you mentioned For example. I want to buy Nokia C3 or blackberry curve 8520.

what you will do is this. (1) Open Google  (2)Type in the search box."full specification of Nokia C3" and (3) click on Search Button .

Nairaland / General / Abia Assembly Summons Police Commissioner, Vc,over Gang Rape by chuksme(m): 4:32pm On Sep 29, 2011
The Abia State House of Assembly has summoned the Abia State Commissioner of Police, Mr Bala Hassan and the Vice Chancellor of Abia State University , Uturu, Prof. Chibuzo Ogbuagu , following the total outcry over the alleged gang rape of a female student by five students suspected to be students of Abia State University.

The House summoned them to come forward and brief members on what they know about the incident and what the two important figures in the state were doing about the matter. Meanwhile, the House has begun its investigation, stressing that it would get to the root of the matter.

The duo were invited following a motion of urgent importance moved by Mrs Blessing Nwagba, member representing Aba State Constituency in the House , who is also the chairman on women affairs. Nwagba, who described the incident as “degradation of womanhood” said though the university authority had denied any link with the ugly incident but “considering the bad image this case is giving Abia as a state” and as the matter “has become a national and international discuss, the House cannot keep quiet over it,” adding that the House should investigate it.

Prof. Ogbuagu, who spoke to newsmen after executive session with the House members said there was no clear cut evidence that the rape case ever took place in the university. He stressed that the institution had conducted its own investigations into the matter and that the incident never took place in the university. He further said the university’s preliminary investigation into the incident showed that the gang rape incident did not take place in the institution or by the students of the institution. He was emphatic in stating that he strongly suspected the linking of the rape case to his institution as the work of mischief makers, which he described as “monkey’s hand.”

Family / Re: Can You Continue With The Marriage? by chuksme(m): 5:14am On Sep 02, 2011
Guy,lets call a spade a spade.If you have not commited any wrong to your wife that made her to behave in this very way.It is obvious that she is still having a serious relationship with the other guy.

Anything that makes a woman to disrespect and behave anyhow to her husband in this way,is not ordinary.

guy,that woman is cheating on you.to the extent of sending matrimonia pictures to the man.

But i will urge you to follow this issue with maturity,i know it pains,but try and address the matter in matured way.

We don't have President.This man called Jonathan is weak,very very weak.How can a person who called himself President come out and make a public announcement on an issue and thesame case still continues.

He ordered them to reduce the price of cement but they refused and he still remain calm and be looking at them when his command was not obeyed.

Is only God that will save us in this country.The man called Jonathan is cold and weak. I am dissappointed and regreted for nigerians putting him as President
