All the policemen in Lagos that were deployed for President Jonathan's visit,are they not back yet?

Abagworo:
Remove Akpabio from list of performers. Everyone knows everything he did from stadium to roads and hotels. They are little compared with the money he got. Only Amaechi did outstandingly well among the super rich oil States.

I strongly believe that its either you have not been to Akwa ibom recently or you are biased.I am not from Akwa ibom but i was shocked by what i saw on ground 2 weeks ago when i went to Uyo.
For us to move as a nation,we need to praise performance and condemn non performance irrespective of our political affiliations

In Life some people pretend as if where they get to in life is always because they are hardworking,smart and very discerning but life is not as simple as that.
From most of the posts i ve gone through here,it seems to most people that its automatic that once you make an investment that it will succeed and prosper but statistics show that 75% of start ups ie new businesses fail within the first 3 years,look around your environment and see how often businesses spring up and disappear.
Most businesses struggle in Nigeria because of poor foundation like inadequate capital,copycat syndrome and lack of basic management skills etc.
Most. genuine businessmen in Nigeria know that the greatest threat and competition in business comes from people who have access to drug money,government funds etc and they patiently wait for you to develop a business model and once they notice that you are making a headway,they float a similar business and pump so much resources into it that yours will look like a child's play.
I have seen Millionaires become beggars and beggars become Millionaires so people should not base their marriage on what you have now or what you do not have.I have been married for over 14years and I can tell you from my personal experience that things will always change but what always keeps a marriage is believeing in yourselves and a decision that you will make a success out of the marriage.
You could even own properties and investment at inception of the marriage and circu mstances beyond your control may make you to sell them off in other to survive.
Once a Man has genuine plans for the future and he is willing to work together with the wife to achieve it and He believes and trusts in God,I personally believe that they are on their way to a successful marriage irrespective of the hiccups that may come up once in a while.

Enough of this intimidation from Gen Buhari supporters!!!.The Law is bigger than everybody,including President Jonathan and Gen Buhari.
If Gen Buhari is not qualified in line with our constitution, for goodness sake let him be disqualified.Let's not set a wrong precedence that will breed anarchy in the future.
Gen Buhari has done the right thing by providing us with a secondary school certificate,INEC should do what every reputable organisation does when they receive a certificate and that is ,AUTHENTICATE it.
I am tired of everybody running around an issue that is very simple and straightforward.

Very lucky to be still alive! Others like him would have been particles of ashes by now.

I also think that President Jonathan also caused the recent flooding in Agege!,i think Gov Fasola is so desparate to ensure that Gen Buhari wins so that he could get some political rehabilitation after May 2015 ,that he has exhibited some traits that is so close to what you encounter in numerous motor parks in Lagos.

MurderX:
Foolish Igbo people everywhere shouting see moneeey. Materialistic fools!
Germaine no half Elizade, no half Coscharis. mofo dey use rubbish house dey oppress fellow Materialistic Igbo fools.

But Coscharis is still an Igbo man.

MrCork:
..bro am from London and I drive £28,000 (cash) range rover spot....truss me, you cannot compare me to those yor so call rich mofos in that Nigeria... we see pictures and we juss laugh. We don't rate this people hear in London..truss me!!

Did you not see a lamborgini parked in that compound? Are you thinking that it was not bought cash down too and i guess its cost is not in the region of £28,000.
On the £7000 Television,its not everybody that is so crazy about electronics ,but i want to let you know that okwudili that i know spends sometimes more than your £7000 on a night out,so its just a matter of priority.

Is this not Nyesom wike's Local government?where he was the former Chairman.

He is seriously thinking of life after May 29 2015

If Buhari wins,I hope he won't repeat the selective justice that he practised in 1984 where northern politicians were put under house arrest and southern politicians were sent to jail.
If He has changed and therefore has decided to pursue proper justice,then one significant thing will happen and that is,He will find it very difficult to assemble a team to work with him because almost all the people around him will be in jail .The greatest drawback to Nigeria's anti -corruption drive has been and will continue to be insincerity and double standards.
Do you know how insulting it is for Nigerians to watch helplessly as our Politicians irrespective of Party affiliations will steal from us mercilessly and still have the guts and audacity to come before us and preach against corruption as if we are fools!!!.Its just like a known Rapist setting up an NGO to fight rape in a community that he raped a victim,just because he is not in jail for the rape offence.
I don't want to mention names but beside Gen Buhari,Nuhu Ribadu, and a very few others,How many Nigerians have occupied govt positions without dipping their hands in the till?
I sincerely think that our political arena currently will make more sense if our Politicians spend more time telling us how they intend to give Nigerians jobs and create enabling environment for entrepreneurs in a secured environment.
Enough of this their insults on our sensibilities.

deeplow:
No disrespect to the igbos. I love igbos. Truth be told, there aren't enough content to air. There is an igbo channel on startimes, and they barely have anything interesting to put on, and it is characterised by repititions. If dstv were to eventually open an Ndigbo channel, I am sure even igbos will get bored after a while.

Popular Igbo Nollywood actors have to forget all the pure English movies they act in. Promote their culture to the world. Most Indian actors speak good English, but they still stick to their language in movies, and theybare respected everywhere. Every week, at least 15 yoruba movies are released, Even though half of them are nonsense, it still gives room for options. Igbos should release as many as possible too.

I would be glad, if they can work on this, and produce plenty many Igbo movies. Maybe from there, I will learn enough Igbo to woo Chinweizu(my life long crush).

I am very impressed by this submission because its unbiased and objective.I am igbo and i dont feel diminished by this write up.
I wish most topics on nairaland that cuts across tribal lines will be treated this way,so that people can appreciate the message behind the write up without being reduced or diminished

I love the timing of this prophecy and i salute his boldness at speaking up at this critical time.We cant deny the fact that there is so much fear and anxiety in Nigeria currently and i encourage other Religious Leaders to also tow this line of peace to help deflate this tension.Once again I salute your courage and boldness.

Because he could pay for it.Once you can pay for for an item its yours!!!

I am a fan of the Marvin's.I watched the show and was not impressed,I feel that they did not really prepare for that show,maybe they took the audience for granted and felt they could get away with any level of performance but times have changed!.Nigerians are more discerning now than ever before, socially ,politically and spiritually.They should try and up their game.Better luck to them next time

This is already too late because the video is already in YouTube!Even if Tinubu wins this case in the court of Law,what happens in the court of the people.Everybody knows the truth and I don't really see anybody being influenced by this drama between Tinubu and AIT.
The major considerations in choosing our political affiliations in Nigeria remain INTEREST,TRIBE and RELIGION.
Until we as a people begin to hold our politician's accountable for their performance VI's a vis their electoral promises,we will not grow as a Nation

Commendable

breadandbutter:
U are an ugly tramp bullshiit

Bros you gave up too easily.I was really enjoying your flow with mirexxx

[quote author=midolian post=31353847]APC won't do such because they are far ahead of the PDP when it comes to politics..even without airing documentaries, you can see the party is the rave of the moment..

On the Issue of corruption, you make me laff.. if any sane man compares these two parties in terms of corruption, he ll finally say APC is a party of saints.[/q
Saints indeed!!! If an individual can pocket over 10% of all the taxes paid by millions of Lagosians for about 15years+,then God help Nigeria when they get the Presidency.I will encourage both APC and PDP to expose all that is possible .Nigeria will be better off for it.

Nice one!!!But always mind your words when things are not going your way,because every problem has an expiry date.
A few months ago this same Producer was threatening to dump Nigeria and relocate abroad because one of his films was not doing well.
Patience is key.Congrats

Always keep the phone with the sim number he has in your office while you get another phone.


Whenever he tracks you, its always gonna show you are in the office[/quote]This won't always work especially if you are expected to work outside the office like marketing dept and you need to always give your boss feedback on the go.
Secondly this will work only if your boss never calls you on phone directly because I guess that not picking his calls each time he calls because you are somewhere else and your phone is in the office will certainly be considered a bigger offence.

OrlandoOwoh:
. . . and has any competent court of law said that these allegations against Tinubu are true, for anybody or body like AIT to be airing it. Go go school at all?

You are actually the one that should go to school.My submission is quite clear and explicit and I never foresaw that your kind will have problems with such an ABC comment.

The truth of this is that if you reside in Lagos in the last 15years,you will notice that most of these allegations against Bola Tunubu is what have been in the public domain for a longtime now,AIT is actually giving Bola Tinubu a platform to correct all these allegations once and for all.I for one is interested in knowing which one is the truth and which one is mere political propaganda.

I guess this is not Nigeria,because i dont think we drink Castle beer here.

It used to be,when two elephants fight that its the grass that suffers but this time around,two elephants are fighting and the grass is watching and wondering at the revelations from the fight.
Whether we are APC or PDP,This has revealed the calibre of people at the helm of our affairs in this Country.

I think perception has a lot to do with this,previously our society frowned heavily on men with dreadlocks but I guess its becoming more acceptable now.I personally do not like judging people based on things like tattoos etc because it could be very deceptive and you could end up being very wrong.Every human being has a story behind him so find out the story and you find out the real him.

Good news for all progressive Nigerians

Its no big deal.Once you get into the expressway,you will adapt immediately and after about an hour ,you will forget all these fears.
Personally I think its easier to drive on the highway than intracity.
The major thing you need to do is try and have a companion so that you don't sleep off on the steering.

Thank God for sparing their lives.This is why when people joke and politicize this boko haram issue,I can't help but be amazed.
Let us continue to pray for this GREAT Nation because terrorism is our common enemy and no one is safe !

chyket:
we just received 100 units of the very popular tested and reliable JINBEI HAISE buses from China.We are offering them for sale at a giveaway price of 2,600,000.00 each for the air-conditioned version.They are all brand new. Kindly contact Chike on 08033372505,08098372505.

UPDATE. Due to the new import duties been implemented by Nigerian Customs coupled with the volatile exchange rate,we have reviewed our price to 3,500,000.00 only.

I bought it and sent to my mum in the village and i remember she wrote me a letter because Gsm has not come into existence then ie year 2000.In the letter she told me about several things happenning in the family etc but she specically told me that she wrote the letter around 2am and that it was made possible by this type of lamp that i bought for her and it really gladdened my heart. because its normally a very happy experience to realise that your gift has made so much difference in someone's life.

Its very painful when we politicize everything in Nigeria.War against terrorism must bring all of us together because its a common enemy and it could affect anybody.Every location is a target so nobody is free from the threat and we should never deceive ourselves that security in any part of Nigeria is terror proof.I witnessed the last bomb blast in Emmab plaza Abuja and I know what it looked like.Please let's pray for our armed forces in this trying moments because for every soldier we loose in this war,somebody somewhere has lost a husband,brother,uncle,son etc.
For people who make a profession out of criticizing our armed forces,just remember that some of us can't fight this war for all the money in the world.Terrorism is not the conventional war that our armed forces are trained in because they have always excelled in peacekeeping activities but this is a new kind ofwar where you want to fight and go home but your opponents want to fight and die in the process.Its a very difficult situation
