I wish them all the best if they can sustain it till August, Celebrities?

@Poster, there is absolutely nothing wrong with giving. It takes courage to give.

As for me, I pray to give rather than collect. Receiving from a fellow guy or my wife nothing bad, from a female friend, nope! Keep giving a gal all that you have as long as u live and receive a chewing gum for once and she'll announce it world over when u part ways that she' been taking care of you , !

:-x :-x :-x

One thing that baffles me most in 9ja is how we leave important things for things that are not necessary. You may crucify me if you wish but I still believe an average northerner is a better leader compared to an average southerner. Although we have some bad eggs amongst the northern leaders but I still believe that most of them got corrupted by the south. All that concerns me about NNPC is to ensure we have enough fuel to run our engines, our power turbines, enough gas to cook our food. Gaskiya!

I don't care if all the heads of affairs there are Northerners. Was Gaius Obaseki not ex-GMD. Any contribution from to him to even his immediate community in Edo State? What about Funsho Kupolokun?

@Lawyer

Good talk. =N=4M is too much an amount to spend on accommodation as a bachelor. The money can get one a plot of land and two bedroom apartment,

Na wa for all these ladies ooh, dem no dey apply protection because na Star dey bang them?
Stardom nowadays is associated with vices. eg, Tiger Woods, John Terry, Innocent "Tuface" Idibia -- - - - - - - - - - - , Femi kuti and the list goes on. TUBABA for sure.

Which kain protection! U don forget sey men scarce?

Wrong number u just dialled. Even Genevieve can't look like Omotola if she adds two more kids

Who said Yar'adua is not fit? I saw him yesterday riding bicycle at Aso Rock. Did I say Aso Rock? Sorry, riding a white horse in Katsina.

Super Story,

REALITY101:
@poster, pointles, I can tell u are a lesbian,

and y do u think she is?

Akunyili should resign? This is a very simple case. Let the Northern House members tell Yar'adua to address the nation and send Dora out of his cabinet if he (the president) so wishes,

It baffles when PDP burgs us with which part rules tomorrow and which rules next tomorrow. Are they the only political party in Nigeria? What if another political party wins the seat of the presidency come 2011?

Oh, still believing in the power of rigging uh?

Different strokes for different folks!

I suppose she was in love before she entered the marriage. It could be that the husband is not all that good in pre-intimacy and she' shy herself to initiate it in order not to be termed spoilt. I should suggest they go for counseling or betterstill watch some x - rated films,

adebayo111:
What a cheap publicity to redeem their age long battered image.
Go to the police stations and see how money exchange hands, infact nigeria police station should be quoted on the stock exchange

Seconded, a bill should be passed by NL to enforce that, making sure they are enlisted in the NSE.

The X - Squad or what they call themselves should come to Port Harcourt City and arrest all the police officers then. From Wimpey Junction, Off Ikwerre Road to Iwofe has more than 4 police toll - gates. Each toll gate collects N100 from every commercial vehicle that plies that route. What about the police toll gate directly opposite Mile 1 police station at Mile 1, Diobu, Port Harcourt? Hmmm, there they station boys that collects the money for them while they stop any defaulter themselves. What about the toll gate directly opposite Kala Police station?

Abeg, make una leave matter for Martina jor! I believe those paraded officers had either lost their godfathers or refused to decamp to the winning party, PDP of police!

ZUBBYNWA:
He that sows sparsely reaps sparsely.Nigeria case is a vicious circle,every body is corrupt and it goes around like a boomerang.Only the very young children are innocent until they grow up to join the rat race and the circle continues

^^^^ the children too are not left out

Nice one

tai2:
You shouldn't lack potential suitors on Nairaland , especially if you put up a picture or sth, some NL members are career toasters

From experience?

I will call one of my brothers of his size to return the slap, then since the husband wont talk about it, everyone will keep on living as if nothing happened. Angry Angry

I think this is the best option.

Lol

@Chidichriss, U reside in Dubai, and I suppose the remote part of Dubai and far from the reach of everything modern. What makes Nkenna a celebrity? How I wish u have a TV talkless a DSTV decoder, Nkenna was a daft in BBA 4 and outside BBA 4, Didn't not listen to her replies to IK on her eviction night?

@NL, for Nkenna not to win a single country shows that she' indeed a true sister of Chidichris, How I wish Chidichris watched her eviction talk with IK,

http://www.mnetafrica.com/bigbrother/Video/BrowseVideo.aspx?ChannelId=39&vid=22141

Why not click and watch the concluding part of her stupidity, When a fool laughs people only looks and hisses,

@NL: http://www.mnetafrica.com/bigbrother/Video/BrowseVideo.aspx?ChannelId=39&vid=22141

Watch her video with IK about her stupidity,

You can check her out on facebook, Simply search for Nkenna Iwuagwu,

Nigerians, what do we do to Nkenna for the disgrace? I suppose we use to set an example for whoever intends representing Nigeria henceforth, Hope you watched her eviction and her response to Ik's question about our mentioning names of those who sexually harrassed her in her places of work and how she cheated in an exams (Basic Electricity), She had been a disgrace to Nigeria,

NL, what do we to her, I commented on her facebook profile anyway,

@Naijagal, as much as K and V and N are included in the name, Biggie will understand my dear,

Kelvin always a winner, SADC is voting for Kelvin big time, forget about the Hummers nonsense on screen,

I hope the agency has branches in other parts of Nigeria,

ScreenDiva:
I do not want to believe the unofficial polls but i strongly believe Itai may make it to the finals, just like what happened when Emma Elizabeth and Nkenna were up. Emma and Eliza had split votes and SADC voted for Nkenna the idiot come think say she strong.!!!

Kevin and Emma would have splits votes because they have the same fans under the umbrella of ''Non-smokers alliance'' while SADC will vote for Itai
between Kevin and Emma , one of them is sure to win that my believe sha.


I will not relent, i am still voting like craze. no blame me na for entertainment sake, the house is boring these days but our boy tries to bring in humour, to some people's believe, he may be annoying but like them say '' ONE MAN'S MEAT,

No b lie

@chidichris- you must be very stupid and daft like nkenna to always defend her. No village will recognize her. Infact she will be banished from bringing shame and ignominy what with the kind of thoughtlessness she spins? If i get to meet her even in my dream i'll wring her neck. f*****g b***H. Shame on you?

I think the organisers of this show chose the Nigerian represntatives deliberately so that the winner will not come from Nigeria. I'll bet my D**k that Nkenna was chosen knowing fully well that she is daft, uncouth, dumb and can never ever emerge winner. Why, with the kind of trash that come out of her mouth? Who is that person that will talk the way she does about her country? Her statement of being a star is just a stupid joke. Can such a one as Nkenna make any reasonable contribution to anything? Hell no. I'm sure her family will be ashamed of her. She can never be an ambasador of Nigeria. The sooner she leaves the better before we lose our sanity.

Thanks Tsheda

Fellow NL's. On the 16th of November 2009, 'repentant' Niger Delta militants in Alo Man O' War camp invaded Choba, host community to University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT).  And as usual, Nigerian press brushed the news to paint a milder picture of what actually happened. Here is a first hand information from a victim of the Post Amnesty Militants.

MY ORDEAL IN THE HANDS OF “REPENTANT” NIGER DELTA MILITANTS

I am not writing to show whether the current federal government amnesty programme for the Niger Delta militants is justified or not; whether it is the best option to tackle Niger Delta crisis or not. I am writing to testify for what happened at the University of Port Harcourt, on the 16th November, 2009. I am writing so that the world may know what happened because the current media coverage and reporting of the violent demonstration by the so called “repentant” militants in UNIPORT and it’s environ, is a chase after shadow and not the substance. As one of the victims of the violent militant rampage, I have this feeling that the only way to relief my hurting soul is by writing the account of my own experience during the rampage.

The rampage started around 4:00pm and continued up to 7:00pm. I was in a cyber café very close to students’ eatery place (Ematex), along Alo village – a place directly opposite the fence of UNIPORT Delta Park. University of Port Harcourt Delta Park is where the vice chancellor and most of the university top officers reside. Suddenly, I saw some youths, armed with brand new matchets and broken bottles, chanting and moving towards UNIPORT main gate area. It was not long they started looting and breaking people’s shops. Shop and business owners around UNIPORT had locked up and fled for their lives. These hoodlums continued to break shops and loot without any body challenging them. All of us in the cyber café, about nine of us where trapped amidst the pandemonium that ensued as a result of the riot. We could not escape to anywhere because the militants were everywhere around us. We only managed to lock ourselves inside the cyber café.

Initially, I felt with time the army or police will confront them or resist their advancement and or possibly chase them back to their camp. It was not until after we have spent one hour in the cyber café without any sign of military or police intervention that I knew I was in for a serious danger. Soon the militants got closer, breaking the boutique shop near our hideout. Every thing in the shop was carted away. Next they started breaking the locked up burglary proof of the place we were hiding. They continued hitting the iron bars continuously in order to gain entry into the cyber café. When it became so obvious to us that they will definitely succeed, we broke the ceiling and hide our laptops there. I managed to remove my cell phone sim card, keeping the phone for them. At a time the cyber café owner courageously came out and unlocked the doors for them in a way to ameliorate their anger should they succeed in the almost successful attempt they have been making to break in. These nexus of criminals that were assembled together following the amnesty deal started robbing us of everything we had. They took my GSM phone, N11,000.00 cash and my safety booth worth over N25,000.00. Everybody submitted his or her GSM phones at the order of the hoodlums that trudged into the place in their numbers. Some of them had blood stains all over. They vandalized and carried away desk top computers, stabilizers and every other thing their eyes can see in the cyber café. While we remained there since there was no possible way of escape, another group came and began to abuse us physically. One particularly was interested in slapping us one after the other. The three female students in our midst received the same measure of hot slap before being whisked away to an unknown destination. Each of us received at least seven hot slaps at the face.     

By this time it was around 6:00pm, we remained at the mercy of the criminals. Still another group entered and one of them saw a gallon filled with diesel and started looking for lighter. Now and then and everywhere he was searching and asking for lighter. Thank God he did not see lighter at the end. I wonder what he would have done with the lighter because these so called “repentant” militants are not normal human beings. In what seems like a Divine escape, I made my way behind the cyber café seeing that something was distracting the criminals. There I was hearing the cries of female students from some of the incomplete buildings around the area. The boys maimed, looted people’s belongings and physically abused innocent people, mostly students of UNIPORT, without anybody challenging them. Joint Military Taskforce (JTF) stood by and watched while poor innocent and helpless female students are being abused. JTF in the guise of “order not given yet” as somebody insinuated, stood by watching these hoodlums do whatever they feel like doing. These bad boys at a time ran out of ideas, they were just thinking of what next to do. Those of us trapped in their mist remained with them to observe everything.

This was the day I realized how hopeless security of lives and properties can be in Nigeria.  Is this how Nigeria is? So no Vice Chancellor, no University senate member can realize the agony of students and do something for more than three hours I saw things happen? Was it enough to secure the university’s main entrance gates? What about vulnerable students living off campus (Alo area) and unfortunate and helpless people that are caught up in the mayhem? Why was there no desperate call by the university authority for governor’s intervention if “order” was the case? Which JTF commander gave the order that soldiers should watch while people are maimed, abused and personal belongings being looted? Could the allegation that soldiers were in solidarity with the militants because if the militants are paid their stipends, they themselves (JTF) can receive theirs, be true?  Who initiated the idea of assembling robbers and common criminals in a place very close to a university? Why was there no professor of sociology (at least) that envisaged the negative impact the choice of locating the militants in a place close to a university could be? This choice of location of the rehabilitation camp, was it to convert the militants to students or to convert students to militants? Who released the militants from their camp? From the way, the so called “repentant” militants operated during the rampage, I saw a kind of organization in them. They had somebody leading them. Only one person was in charge of keeping the GSM phones they were collecting from students. This is to say that the so called rehabilitation may be proving counter productive. How are we sure these militants will not exchange phone numbers and reassemble in the creek as another bigger and stronger militant group? Is it not possible these boys are forming stronger confraternity? Two or three of these criminals together means danger, how much more when they are in their hundreds.

I believe the government owes victims of “repentant” militants’ violent rampage explanations. I believe the university of Port Harcourt management owes affected students some explanations. I believe JTF commander in charge of the militants located in Man “O” War Camp in Alo owes victims some explanations. Why the choice of a university community environ in locating the rehab camp? Why not military barracks or any other no man’s land? Does it mean that no university of Port Harcourt senate member envisaged the possible damage the location of the militant rehab camp near the institution could result? Already any university community is like a simmering volcano and any small disturbance can trigger eruption. Nobody even envisaged possible bloody clash of students and the “repentant militants”. I had one student saying had it been they (cultists) have not been disarmed, these militants would not have gone free. The so called “repentant” militants, why did they not proceed to government house if they had issues with government, why looting and maiming?

Before closing this testimony, I hereby recommend that government, the university of Port Harcourt management and JTF should accept responsibility for the loss, abuse and emotional trauma suffered by students and other victims of the rampage. They should do so by going to the air to apologize to the victims aforementioned. Adequate compensation should be paid to especially the poor shop and business owners around the university that may be left with nothing to start life again and also the affected students. If the current leadership of Nigeria is sincere and is willing to demonstrate that the system of governance is working, somebody or some persons should be held responsible for the unfortunate incident. A commission of enquiry should be set up to ascertain, first, the extent of damage caused by the “repentant” militants; secondly, how victims can be compensated and lastly, to ascertain who and who are responsible for the lapses that led to the ugly incident.
