deols:
no country is a model for Muslims. Qur'an and the hadith are

So why don'y u show us where it was stated in the Qu'ran that women must cover their faces

The crisis just escalated

Sagamite:
I will say it again: Show me a few post Kobojunkie has made that was insightful.

She has made volumes of posts, no doubt, but show me 5 of them that demonstrates intellectual rigour. Please. Can you do that?

Being an omnipresent critic ridiculing others opinions, without your own solutions or opinions (even not providing one when challenged to do so), is not a sign of high intellect to me . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . personally.

C'est fini

Godson is a making a valid point.Even in Iran women don't cover their faces just their hair which i consider modest enough.This face covering thing is just a Wahabist stlye of Islam.In this day of terrorist threat it is imperative to see everybody's faces.Our security is paramount over & above any religious doctrine.End of

You all fail to see the point.This is a profession & they are the peak of their careers,cut em som slack ok.

^^ will be waiting patiently for that buzz _{Hopefully it won't be forever}

sharp guy - - - - me likey
what if it is in mars? can you make it there?

No planet is too far to meet you dearie just say the word

y me:
i think you should bring that sexy body of yours closer to mine and let me do some thorough assessment, what ya think?

Haha,makes perfect sense.Just name the place & time,i'll be there asap . . .lyk seriously

@Y me,we'v both got a thang for great physiques hence could make the perfect couple.Wat d'ya thank

I see some serious misconceptions making the rounds here.Most guys & gals who build their bodies look really good with their clothes on or when they're relaxed.They only look monstrous when posing & don't forget, for some this is a profession,a full time job.What with competitions,endorsements,tours you name it.It's big bizness
To add to all these,bodybiulders are the coolest folks on the planet

oturugo:
Is he dead?.

Yes he is unfortunately.You can read more & if you feel like it,pay your condolences here: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-560180.0.html

With the sudden turn of events i think Bawomolo shld be given the award posthumously.His intelligent contributions to different topics wld be sorely missed

violent:
I am calling for a one day mourning for Late Bawolomo on NL,  . .that is, everyone abstains from opening new threads or making posts in any other thread save a condolence thread opened on his behalf.

This will drive home the point that Nairalanders feel the loss of a senior member and that we collectively condemn his the circumstances leading to his death.

NL being one of the biggest traffic drivers on a global scale is sure to pass our message across in clear terms.

I'm leaning towards agreeing with you but i find this idea impracticable

toba:
reports reaching u from which street?

I don't reside in London main.A friend just called me to break the news just need to confirm from folks who reside in London

Reports reaching me from the streets is that Funky Dee,the 'Are you gonna bang doe' crooner has been fatally stabbed on the streets of London & might as well have given up the ghost.Anyone heard this yet?

This thread is about to go downhill if the undercurrents of ethnic/tribal & race bashings are not checked

I really can't understand this,i'm so confused.I know death is a debt we all owe but we don't hav to pay like this

Dayuum! Totally shocked,completely at a loss for words.This is so,so sad

slap1:
Where are my fyne guys and gals . . . ? Show your pics na!

Liver gree dem?

Certain forms of corruption favour a nation's people and their elite materially speaking. While certain forms of corruption favour just the elite of the concerned nations, materially speaking.

The key is to do away with corruption altogether, rather than assuming that one form of corruption (the one that favours both leader and led) is ''better'' than the other, since one is a function of the other.

I'm struggling to make sense of your argument.We're unarguably the most corrupt nation on earth,bar none.Shldn't that place us somewhere in the top 20 of the richest nations going by the premise of your argument

I still can't fathom why i'm not on that list.This smacks of malice

Kobojunkie:
Maybe you should start taking your own advice there. Start viewing problems HOLISTICALLY, and maybe, just maybe, you will for once understand how offering up lazy corruption-minded twists on issues makes for no valid argument of any kind.

Never thought i'd see the day i'd stand by you.

ROSSIKE:
Kobojunkie, Have you ever heard the term ''aiding and abetting in the commision of theft''?

Have you heard of the term ''accomplice after the commision of theft''?

Have you heard the term ''receiving stolen propoerty''?

You do realise these are not praise words for do-gooders, but rather, definitions of acts committed by criminals?

I'm sure you do realise Naija & Switzerland are not on the same pedestal.So How do you xplain the massive difference in development

I'm really confused here.Is this a case of too much melanin (being black) why is corruption,violence & aggression the hallmark of every Nigerian Why are North Africans faring better,what exactly is the problem. . .I'm really confused

Video link? maybe you should search for AIT or NTA online.

Are we living on different planets?When last did you see an AIT or NTA station online?

fresh_dude:
@Justwise&Cold. If you'd read my post right,you'd have noticed I emphasized RESEARCH. Quit acting the fool and stop your ignorant sarcasm. Try n get some knowledge,it really does help. Have you ever truly wonder some Naija folk dont just get the travel out bug,when there are multiple options and opportunities here. You hear 10mil you wan pick my brain abi,better luck next time. Bet if you knew this 5yrs ago yot wdnt even conceive of escaping(enslaving).btw figures are in naira.

It is definitely not in my xter to take such swipes at me lying low, ask abt me.But since justwise has replied you appriopriately i'll let this slide . . .this one time

justwise:
Do you mean 10Million there?

me sef tire o.In one month what sort of maturity per investment is that,realistically speaking

Yawn,  many of us not blinkered by hatred and envy of senators' pay can see there is slow but steady improvement in several areas. Why don't you go live in DRC, Somalia or Sierra Leone where life is like paradise and stop bothering our lives?

'slow but steady progress'?In what areas, please enlighten us & how is this as a result of the deliberations of the senators

This is a must watch.A recorded video,anyone?

Senate-We'll Punish Sanusi

Abuja — Senate yesterday vowed to punish Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Mallam Lamido Sanusi (wow ), over his comments that the National Assembly consumes 25 percent of Nigeria's annual budget.

This was as the Upper House which summoned the CBN boss to defend his position warned Sanusi to watch his tongue.

Senate also demanded a retraction and an apology from Sanusi for his comments which it described as a gross display of ignorance of the nation's finances by the CBN boss.

He is to appear before the Senate on Wednesday.

It will be recalled that Sanusi at 8th convocation lecture of Igbinedion University, Okada, blamed the nation's economic troubles on the poor leadership provided by political leaders who lacked the ability to lead the country to the Promised Land. He reprimanded the National Assembly for contributing in no small way to the lack of visible development in Nigeria.

Speaking on the topic, "The Future of Nigeria's Economy", he said as long as a quarter of the nation's annual budget goes to the National Assembly as allowances and salaries, it will be difficult for the nation to achieve any meaningful development with the remaining 75 percent, in view of the numerous challenges facing the nation.

But Senate yesterday dismissed Sanusi's claim as false and another calculated attempt to tarnish the image of the National Assembly.

Spokesman of the Senate, Ayogu Eze at a news briefing insisted that no senator earns more than N950, 000 monthly even as he put the 2010 National Assembly budget at less than N158.9 billion.

Eze said the budget of the National Assembly represents only 3.3 percent of the N4.4trillion budget for the 2010 fiscal year. He said the CBN was completely wrong in his calculation and would therefore have to appear before the Senate to 'explain his position'.

He said: "I want to state categorically that the statement credited to Sanusi that the National Assembly takes 25 percent of the annual budget is not true.

"The total budget figure for the year 2010 as amended is N4.4 trillion. That is the entire budget of the federation. And the entire budget of the National Assembly, including the Senate, the House of Representatives, the National Assembly Service Commission, our legislative aides and all the entire current and capital expenditure for the year 2010 is N158.9 billion.

"If you reduce this to mathematics, what we have is N4.427 trillion for the entire federation and what the National Assembly gets is N0.158 trillion which is 3.5 percent of the entire budget of the federation. So where did the mathematics of the 25 percent come from?

"I think that this is not only mischievous, it is calculated attempt to tarnish the image and reputation of the National Assembly, and it is part of the orchestrated assault, verbal and sometime physical against the National Assembly by some misinformed people who do not wish the National assembly well.

"Otherwise, I do not see how that kind of figure can be bandied about by the governor of the CBN, if it is true that he said so, when he is supposed to be in a position to gauge and hold the reins of the fiscal health of this country. It is very embarrassing.

"I think that Nigerians have the right to say what they want to say, but they need to know that one's person's right stops where the other person's right begins and I think, if you want to criticize somebody, do not hang anything on the institution simply because you want to drag the institution down.

"This is pure fallacy. I do not know where this fabrication is coming from and he did say that the National Assembly has taken 25 percent of all the overhead cost. And I want to state that the total over head cost of the federation is N2, 137, 574, 700, 030. So even if you look at the whole budget of the national assembly as a percentage of the entire recurrent of the federation, you cannot get 25 percent no matter how you push this figure. So I do not know where this figure is coming from.


"My instinct is to believe that Sanusi was misquoted and if he was not misquoted, we expect that he should retract this very fallacious and very damaging report with an apology because he does not have a foundation in facts. I expect that Nigerians should be able always to ask questions and be critical when facts are presented to them.

"If you have a budget of N4.4 trillion, somebody takes N0.1 trillion of that budget, does that make it 25 percent? I think this is most unfair and in the National Assembly we have been doing our best to stabilize this democracy (really?); we have been contributing our own quota (seriously?), but I think that there are people somewhere whose duty is to pull down the National Assembly and we believe that this is not healthy and this is not fair," Eze noted.
