binger: hahaha!! This is really funny ...i wonder if getting married is a must in that L.G

Yes, getting married is a most ... it is God's commandment ... read your bible bro/sis

kinisoo?:
Will you just shut up there? No wonder someone called Nairaland "Nigeria's Online Beer palour." For your information, a comprehensive nation-wide population survey was carried out between 2010 and 2011. I got to know because I worked very closely with the ADPs and the real rural interior farmers themselves when I did my field survey for my just-concluded Masters programme at the University of Ibadan. It will interest you that Ogun state alone had over 200, 000 active rural peasant farmers. I'm not defending spending billions anyhow but let no one come here to spew rub.bish.

Masters degree holder indeed! So, this is what they taught you in school, to be abusive? You don't have the decorum of how to make your point and make the other person looks inferior? Is this how you critique your literature ... you abused those whose views you did not agree with? I hope you wont become a lecturer one day

seanet01: You are wrong. We ACN caucus already knows the next Governor of Lagos state.
First name starts with M and Last name ends with E.
Figure it out.

For_Now: Which yeye document! Is it the roads we pass and pay toll for passing. So when FG pays them the money will they stop collecting tolls on the road. Afterall, its our stolen tax monies they used in constructing the road and tolling us on top.

Monkey!!! So, in your wrong sense of thinking, the toll-road belongs to the federal gov. If it had belong to the federal govt, there wouldn't have been any need to toll it in the first place

PortHarcourtBoy: Una say na "Mathematics" thread meanwhile all of una dey speak "English"

Some dey solve Indices, others dey solve Simultaneous equations...very soon another person go come solve Quadratic equations...abi na SS1 students dey here?

Wey the Engineers dem make we solve some First Order Differential Equations...and apply am to Fluid transfer and Thermodynamics

Meanwhile wey my Gala and La Casera?

Let us accommodate everyone. Or may be a separate thread for what you suggest. But let me say that we aren't mathematicians here, except if you had a Phd in mathematics and you have had your work published in at least 3 journals, that's when you are regarded as a mathematician. Gbam

I hoe this tread can be sustained on the front page for long so that we can continue to help those who may have problem with their maths skill. You know, majority of the people are literate and not numerate.

I don't why all these hullabaloo when Fash has not told anyone of you guys that he's interested in the presidency

CohenJane: PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN'S NEW'S MESSAGE TO NIGERIANS.

Fellow Nigerians,

3. In keeping with tradition, it is usual for individuals, institutions and organizations to make resolutions and set agenda as a new year begins, to guide their actions in the coming months.

14. I wish you all a happy and rewarding 2013.

15. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

I don't see anything spectacular in the message that is worthy of commendation (or even condemnation). It is just a mere ritual that individuals, governments and institutions carry out every year like the president himself rightly stated. So, there's no big deal as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't change anything

PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN'S NEW'S MESSAGE TO NIGERIANS.

Fellow Nigerians,

1. I greet and rejoice with you all as we celebrate the advent of a new year.

2. I join you all in giving thanks to God Almighty for bringing us and our beloved nation safely through the past year to the beginning of 2013 which, by His Grace, will be a much better year for us and our country.

3. In keeping with tradition, it is usual for individuals, institutions and organizations to make resolutions and set agenda as a new year begins, to guide their actions in the coming months.

4. I have already given a clear indication of the Federal Government’s agenda for 2013 in recent pronouncements. Our objective for the year is to ensure by all possible means that more of the programmes and projects envisioned by this administration, and which are already being embarked upon are further brought on stream within the next 12 months to meet the yearnings of our people, and raise the quality of life.

5. We have in the last year achieved a lot in terms of the positive transformation of vital sectors of our national life such as public infrastructure, power supply, oil and gas, transportation, education, health and agricultural development. We will continue to work diligently in 2013 to ensure that our efforts in these areas are carried forward to full fruition in fulfillment of our promise of better public services and improved living conditions for all Nigerians.

6. We will give priority attention in the coming year to flood and erosion control, the rehabilitation and expansion of existing federal roads, improved power supply, as well as the continued rehabilitation, upgrading and reactivation of the national rail network.

7. Employment generation and wealth creation will also remain a primary objective of our socio-economic agenda for 2013. Creating more employment opportunities for our youth and graduates of our universities is an imperative that will continue to underpin our drive for massive economic growth, the rapid expansion of our manufacturing and industrial base, and the productive diversification of our national economy. In this regard, we will continue to provide the necessary enabling environment for the private sector to thrive.

8. As peace and security remain pre-requisite conditions for the full realization of our objectives, we will also do more in 2013 to further empower our security agencies who are working in collaborative partnerships with our friends in the international community to stem the scourge of terrorism in our country and enhance the security of lives and property in all parts of Nigeria.

9. I also want to assure Nigerians that we will refuse to be discouraged by those who have taken it upon themselves to pick on every initiative and effort of this administration. We remain resolutely committed to the rule of law, due process and fair play in all circumstances. Our democracy continues to grow, and the scope for human freedom continues to expand. It is an achievement that we will continue to build upon.

10. I say it again, we are determined to continue to push forward. We will do more, not less. We will remain focused.

11.For your part, dear compatriots, I urge that you all include in your new year resolutions a commitment to do more this year to support the implementation of the Federal Government’s Agenda for National Transformation in every possible way. That is all I ask for.

12. The task of making our dear nation a much better place for present and future generations cannot be left to government alone. Leaders and followers alike have critical roles to play in our march towards the fulfillment of our great national potentials.

13. Let us all therefore resolve as we celebrate the new year to place the higher interests of national unity, peace, stability and progress above all other considerations and work harder in our particular fields of human endeavour to contribute more significantly to the attainment of our collective aspirations.

14. I wish you all a happy and rewarding 2013.

15. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
President, Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Sleeping to wake every day is a cross over night. it's the greatest miracle i have ever witnessed.

crashing my hard disk in an attempt to delete the ORACLE software I installed

Why were you trying to delete the ORACLE software, you no wan become DBA again?

I spent close to #200,000 doing ORACLE at APTECH. At the end, no Job. Employer say i no get experience, and I didn't study comp sci in school ( i did maths)

Just the picture of a building means the government is now performing and transforming the state

To be serious, let's face it squarely as a matter of fact, where are all the things the FG promised during the subsidy protest, the SURE-P and its like? Where are they? At least, it's the end of the year and we are yet to see any of these things

epmmiks: ACN IS NOT BETTER. And they will never be better except the first generation of ACN resigns from the party

What is your PDP member card number?

The issue is not whether ACN is better. What has the present party occupying the office done? that's what we are talking about. m.u.m.u

i don't see the need for this thread in the first place. OP most be a paid agent

dotcom_na_me_na_me: You are a DISGRACE..
You will be punished by God for underrating our Almighty God!
You will suffer for comparing ordinary Human being to God !
Idiot silly cow !

u no get eye ni? god not God

GAR3TH: I love how you started your rebuttal with "go back to school" Even though the rest of your comment logically does not make sense with what I stated. The Gun control discussion that is going on in the USA is completely opposite from what I am talking about. Guns are not dangerous nor do they pose a safety treat to society, its the people that hold the gun that are the problem and thats what the debate in the USA is about, stopping Mentally Ill people getting hold of fire arms. On the opposite side i'm talking about things that can harm people, like a building that is not structurally stable or a car with faulty breaks. Those things are all safety concerns and they do not involve human input. Before Telling someone to go back to school read what you type and ask yourself the same question.

This is the most civilized comment or talk back I have ever read on Nairaland. You make a lot of sense with your sense of reply

mrjingles: The advice to read and think before replying has been missed by both Aturu and a lot of posters here. Fashola did not comment on the legality or otherwise of firecrackers, he commented on enforcing TOWN PLANNING rules. If the rules were enforced a fireworks warehouse would probably not be located so close to residential apartments. Aturu in his usual "notice me" comments was reacting to another issue entirely (belus don full belle).

Coming to his comments, what's "undemocratic" about the governor's comments? The man is criticizing his critics, that for me is a form of debate . This " I sabi talk" lawyer should respond to the issues not speak big grammar attacking the person. That's typical of most Nigerians even on Nairaland, we have lost our ability to DEBATE which is the very core of a democratic society. We now resort to trash talk, insults and "beer palour" analysis.

Abi? at the boldened above

duality: without prejudice, Aturu made a valid point and such submissions are sinequanon for our democracy. This is the only way we can get the best at both Federal , State, and Local government levels. Unfortunately what i see every day on nairaland; are bunch of ass kissers of both Federal and State govt trying hard to out do one another.

...and Fashola too made valid point by his submission. It's a two way thing.

Pharoh: What are the possibilities of providing a shuttle bus service around unilag and yabatech that transports students from their place of residence to the campus. I know that for Lasu, ...

There are four to five LAGBUS from Ikorodu to Unilag, and Unilag to Ikorodu on a daily bases. I don't know about Yabatech

Dont think it should be an individual effort. there ought to be a fund instituuted by the government and managed by trustworthy people for anyone who has such ailment. kudos anyway

PapaBrowne: Dasuki wass the former Aide De Camp to IBB. That says it all.
How Jonathan kicked out his own man and appointed his enemy to take care of his security is still a mystery to me.

His wife was poisoned.
His closest Brother died strangely.
Taraba Governor PLANE Crash
Now Azazi and Yakowa

and Kaduna Governor and Gen Azazi

I have read all the comment before I got to this one, and this is the one that particularly catch my fancy, at the boldened.

Now, if all the above happens, and let's assume they are all the work of BH, under the watchful eyes of the C-in-C, so what type of C-in-C do you have?

The wife of the president was posioned - by the enemy, muslims;
The President's brother died strangely, by the enemy, muslim;
Taraba Governor involved in plane crash, by the enemies, muslims;
Former NSA and Kaduna Governor died in Chopper Crash, by the enemies, muslims.

Can you notice any pattern, does that not look like someone is not doing his/her job

k2039: Throw it into the bush or pit latrine

;

On a more serious note, this is a good reason why every house must have a pit latrine.

WETIN U DEY FIND FOR WOMAN TALK?

Baby mama: If it was Saudi or Pakistan he would have been on the next Camel back to Naija

God save and help you from your lunacy.

delors: Lagos is not London, not Toronto, not Tokyo, not Durban...every mega city is unique and different

Wouldn't you like Lagos to become London et al.,

delors: in China, autorickshaw is being used as a inter-street transit, same in Japan

.

Are Okada banned from the inner streets?

delors: In Toronto, street cars (train on streets) are used as inter-street transit because of the population

.

It's not your fault, na the work of google

delors: Banning okada in Lagos is a lazy way out of the transport system in Lagos. There are better ways to deal with the transport system.

You have not suggested any ... who is lazy here?

delors: ...many okada riders are graduates conditioned by the situation of the country

Caused by the Lagos State Government, right? Just blabing

delors: In other countries, when there is a business where government makes revenue from, or it illegal but people tend to still do it, the government devise a means to legalise it and make more revenue from it

.

See your life ... legalise illegality in the name of making money from it. Why not legalise armed robbery, afterall, people make money from it.

I'm looking for that place where you said

lagos is no man's land

. God purnish you for that statement. Omo ale. By the way, who are you, where do you surfaced from?

Every time I am privileged to witness the glory of a military wedding ceremony, my first amazement is the sparkle in the bride’s eye not the glitz of participating in the sword crossing ceremony. It fills me with awe that these amazing women dare to become what late Hajia Maryam Babangida calls the “Officers Wife”. It is incredible that any woman (or man) would accept to marry a man (or woman) who’s very job demands obedience without complaint and loyalty without restraint. Why would anyone want to settle with a military partner who is trained to love Country first, God second and then spouse/family in that order? At all times an officer’s wife waves her husband good bye without any guarantee he will return. Others live a life of sacrifice and loneliness. These superwomen wives often have to deal with long months without their partners because he is on assignment in another state, country or continent. It seems these courageous spouses essentially sign up to serve their nation along with their military spouses. Consequently officers and men are forever grateful to God for friends and family knowing that any moment could be the last. They hold their wives and family with high esteem and Oga Daba was no exception loving his wife and daughter till death

.

Could there have been a conspiracy in this episode. i doubt it. accidents do happen

Ibrahim mr fish: U guys are liers,i'm now in Zaria and i didn't see anything like this.

I was going to say that. You see, some people just come here to spread rumour and people take it hook line and sinker.

and some one was asking what exactly is nigeria's problem? isn't it obvious now. mtcheww

etudaddy: Tb joshua's prophecy

monkey. this is all you have to say. sorry for the man and woman who laboured hard for you to have education

fellis: One common thing about these school shootings is that they are usually (if not always) carried out by socially awkward outcasts. Most of them do the killing because they resent their school mates for not accepting them and their weirdness

There is a direct link between success in school and the school environment in which student learning takes place. Students are more motivated to do well and achieve their full potential in schools that have a positive school culture and one in which they feel safe and supported.

(Safe Schools Action Team, 2008, p. 1)

Students who experience a positive school culture feel supported and accepted by peers and school staff and tend to develop a strong sense of school membership. Feelings of belonging enhance students’ self-esteem and can contribute both directly and indirectly to improvements in academic and behavioural functioning and overall mental health.

fella: One common thing about these school shootings is that they are usually (if not always) carried out by socially awkward outcasts. Most of them do the killing because they resent their school mates for not accepting them and their weirdness. I wonder why they decide that killing others is the way to go. The people they are killing are not responsible for the outcast's personality problems

That was spot on.

Have you heard or read about school climate? That's what school climate is all about. I'm working on that. Good one bro.
