The type of fear Willy Willy ghost brought into my life as a kid was something else, to make matters worse NEPA always had a funny way of messing up later in the evening after watching it.

Damn right..
scary as he'll..

especially that grave appearance scenes. lol

mrmagoo:
Or perhaps you should try harder at reading and understanding, for the love of God why will a human being refer to a write up as a question and answer session? Not even a two year old can make such a mistake(metaphor by the way just incase you want to take the two year old thing literally) you know what? I shall do you a favour and pretend like I didn't see this, I want to believe you reason like a human being


Well you did say insinuate that there was no job like reviewing movies and I simply enlightened you Who knew you would take offence? well at least now you know

Well this part is kind of meaningless, don't tell me you are running out of things to say come on you can do better than this,its embarrassing


Oh running with your tail between your legs, good idea at least you know when to accept defeat
By the way here is a real kicker I haven't even seen the movie so once again shove your "asss kisser" card back in the deck

You haven't seen the movie and yet you're attacking someone else's views on it

s.m.h....

Nigerians are a 'funny' set.

paranorman:
The awkward moment when you thought you gonna read great comments and critisms, you got disappointed! Man, Naija problems plenty sha, dem no sabi anything! If na Dbanj mater now, dem go full scatter here. Proof: visit science and tech section.. It's painful man.

Lool..you can say that again.
If u were to go by d comments on NL, you would feel Nigerians are dull, dimwitted fellows who are usually quick to insult to cover up their ignorance.


@o.p..
you're right about one aspect in particular... Invasion1897 is an Epic story that should have been done right because it tells the story of one of the last great African empires and exemplifies the problems with colonial relations then (and even now)
His failure to do just that made a mockery of the whole thing.
The movie was Painfully Disappointing.

That Lancelot needs to be tarred and feathered.

maestroferddi:
Is Prof Osinbajo slow in simple comprehension or what?

Jonathan was explicit in explaining himself.

He stated that he had a parley with a former CJN on the incidence of corruption/crime.

He posited that Justice Mustapha disclosed that over 70% of the cases under the judge's purview were actually outright theft being branded as corruption. He was making a case that what people normally give the appellation of corruption are nothing short of thievery.

Instead of branding a public official guilty of misappropriation as corrupt, he was suggesting that a more apt or grievous term should be applied. Let the guilty official be addressed as the thief that s/he is so as to serve as a deterrent to others.

So what is difficult for this APC man to understand?

I especially waited for that question to be asked and I think he clarified himself quite well and funny enough I agree with Mr President
The definition itself is clear on this.

Nigerians are annoying in that their judgement is usually skewed based on sentiments (party,ethnic,religious....)

Expecting better is such a long thing..

Was the general reading from a script behind the camera , because it kinda seems so..


Not bad tho.

Reminds me of a close friends wedding bachelor party at same warri.
party ongoing, ppl grooving and just because some boys, under highness, broke some stuffs in the bathroom, d asst. manager got angry ,disrupted the party and before u know, matchets, bottles and ish were all over.

Now the groom is a well to do Dr, his brother a staff of an oil company, so it wasn't a party of rif raffs... but I guess wen in Warri, wuruwuru wafe behavior is expected.

asuoka:
that operation started since lastweek...it is now the nigerian press reported it...chai...no PR to show whats going on

The operation. has been at least a week old, that was why I was surprised at the inec's announcement.

Also shows how deficient the Nigerian military p.r is.
While those of other countries blow their trumpets at every lil achievement (and even usurping some of ours), the defense spokesman stays silent.

it's time we , like the proverbial lizard, starts screaming our lungs out when we do something wat bin proud about.

imagine wat d Nigerien military personnel said...after needing help to chase a disorganized, fleeing rabble of insurgents, he now feels like Clive Davis.

rokiatu:
I really need serious contributions only. I am seriously looking at getting an epidural for my first birth, I have even discussed it with my husband and hes cool with it as long as thats what I want. but my mother is a big advocate for natural birth and will have it no other way. She has 1 billions reasons why pain assisted birth is bad. And now am actually scared and terrified of having an epidural. But knowing myself and all I am still indecisive about the whole thing. Anyways long story short, anyone have experience with any or both to please share with me? I will really appreciate it like I said serious contributors only thank you.


P.S I am not pregnant I am just preparing.

well, first of all. there's no medical procedure that is devoid of complications and epidural is no exception.
That said, there are other tins u need t consider such as the cost, ease/convenience etc.
epidural is wonderful if pain is an issue to u but be sure to discuss every aspect of the procedure with whom so ever u choose too

Highlights of Investigative Forensic Auditdone by PwC
For those who care for this, foundit onthe Facebook page ofMinister of Financeand Coordinating Minister ofthe Economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
Highlights ofInvestigative Forensic Audit done byPricewaterhouse Cooper into the allegations ofunremitted Funds into the Federation Accounts bythe NNPCfor the period January2012 to July 2013.
Highlights ofPwC Findings. Based on the work conducted byPwC, their conclusions are asfollows; Total gross revenues generated from FGNcrude oil liftings was $69.34 billion andNOT $67 billion as earlier stated by the Senate Reconciliation Committee for the period from January 2012 to July 2013.
Within the $69.34 billion, $28.22 billion was the value of domestic crude oil allocated to NNPC. Total amount spent assubsidy for PMS amounted to $5.32 billion
Total amount spent assubsidy for DPK (Not appropriated) amounted to $3.38 billion
Total other third party financing arrangement, and equity crude oil processing costs amounted to $1.19 billion
Total cost directly attributable to domestic crude oil amounted to $1.46 billion
Other costs incurred bythe Corporation not directly attributable to domestic crude oil is $2.81 billion
Revenue attributable to NPDCassubmitted by the former NPDCManaging Director to the Senate hearing (less PPT andRoyalty paid) is $5.11 billion. PwC stated that this amount needs to be incorporated into the financial statements of NPDCfrom where dividend should be declared to the Federation accounts.
Signature bonus, PPT andRoyalty yet to be paid byNPDCis $2.22 billion
Total cash remitted into the Federation accounts in relation to crude oil liftings was $50.81 billion and NOT $47 billion asearlier stated bythe Senate Reconciliation Committee for the period from January2012 to July 2013
Based on the informationavailable to PwC, and from the analysis above, the firm submitted that NNPC andNPDCshould refund to the Federation Accounts a minimum of $1.48billion.
PwC recommendations:
The PwC report centered on the following three (3) key areas;
NNPC Costs
Ownership ofNPDCrevenues
DPK subsidy
Below are the highlights asextracted from the report.
NNPC Costs
“The Corporation operates an unsustainable model. Forty six percent (46%) of proceeds of domestic crude oil revenues for the review period was spent on operations and subsidies. The Corporation is unable to sustain monthly remittances to the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), andalso meet its operational costs entirely from the proceeds of domestic crude oil revenues, andhavehadto incur third party liabilities to bridge the funding gap”.
NNPC provided transaction documents representing additional costs of $2.81 billion related to the review period, citing the NNPCAct LFN No 33 of1977 that allows for such deductions. Clarity is required onwhether such deductions should be madebyNNPC asa first line charge, before remitting the net proceeds of domestic crude to the federation accounts.
PwC therefore recommended that the NNPC model ofoperation must be urgently reviewed and restructured, asthe current model which hasbeen in operation since the creation ofthe Corporation cannot be sustained.
Ownership ofNPDCrevenues
PwC stated that:
- According to NPDCformer ManagingDirector's (Mr Victor Briggs) submission to the Senate Committee hearing on the subject matter, for the period covered bytheir mandate, NPDC generated $5.11billion (net of royalties and petroleum profits tax paid).
- They relied on the legal opinion provided to the Senate Committee bythe Attorney General (AG) onthe subject ofthe transfers ofNNPC’s (55%) portion of Oilleases (OMLs) involved in the Shell (SPDC) Divestments which impacted crude oil revenues in the period. The AG's opinion indicated that these transfers were within the authority of the Minister of Petroleum Resources to make.
- NNPC’s (55%) portion ofOil leases (OMLs) involved in the Shell Divestments related to the eight ( OML’s were transferred to NPDC for an aggregate amount ofUS$1.85billion. Sofar,only the amount of US$100m hadbeen remitted. PwC also added that they hadexpected a transfer basis higher thanthe US$1.85billion aforementioned
- NPDC had donea self assessment ofPPT and Royalty andhad unpaidself assessed PPT and Royalty to the tune of$0.47 billion related to the review period. PwC added that they did not obtain any information that suggested that NPDC hasbeen assessed for PPT and Royaltyfor the review period.
- PwC also stated that NPDC should remit dividend to NNPCand ultimately to the Federation accounts, based on NPDC’s dividend policy and declaration ofdividend for the review period.
Kerosine Subsidy
PwC determined from informationobtained from PPPRA that $3.38 billion relating to DPK subsidy cost was incurred bythe NNPC forthe review period. They obtained a letter, dated 19 October 2009 written bythe Principal Secretary to the President, to the National Security Adviser, confirming a Presidential directive of15 June 2009 instructing that subsidy onDPK be stopped. PwC also obtained a letter dated 16 December 2010 from the Executive Secretary PPPRA to the CBNGovernor clarifying that PPPRA hadceased granting subsidy on Kerosine since the Presidential directive of 15June 2009. Furthermore, Kerosine subsidy was not appropriated for in the 2012 and 2013 FGN budget.
However, the Presidential Directive was not gazetted and there hasbeen no other legal instrument cancelling the subsidy on DPK.
PwC therefore recommended that an official directive be written to support the legality ofthe kerosene subsidy costs. This should also be followed byadequatebudgeting and appropriation for the costs.

mamajohn:
You must be a fool. Its when an ignoble job is in the offing that you remember civil service rules.

Must we always resort to insults?!
The man gave u points, counter his points OR Don't reply him.


Frankly, this attitude is unbecoming.
this is why u rarely see sensible debates going on these days.
only insults covering up inadequacies.


am out..

Though there are several inconsistencies so far seen, and though I personally think Jega has been compromised, removing him @ this time will not be the best.
The polity is already heated up enough and adding anything else to the mix mite cause an instantaneous reaction.



There are master riggers in APC as well as PDP, and in this election,there are NO Saints only Sinners.

It is well.

loving the general sense of maturity being displayed on this thread and the intelligent points bin made.

kudos t all.

postponement or not, whatever will guarantee a fair, credible election, as long as it is constitutional, needs be done.

No one wants a repeat of the violence that occurred in 2011.

Pangea:
That is no excuse!

What if we are facing a full scale foreign invasion from Chad, Niger or Cameroun?

Is this the same excuse we will give !
It's a dog eat dog out there !
And if you deliberately make yourself an underdog ,
Don't complain when everyone one out there decide to ride roughshod over you !

You obviously do not understand some basic things about warfare.
Nigeria is well capable to handle incursions from a foreign force/nation.
That is symmetrical/conventional warfare ...what they're trained for, where boundaries and rules are more or less defined.
What the nation was facing is Assymetrical warfare. it needs a different set of ideology/mindset, different rules of engagement, different weapons/platforms...and the politics of the war is different.
It's not something u can handle easily without regional cooperation.
look at ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

Nigeria has and can never be an underdog in this region.
contrary to wat the media is trying to portray, most of the work bin done is by the Nigerian army, the foreign role is at the border towns.
Do ur investigation (Google maps )

It's trendy to rundown anything Nigerian and politicise everything, but sometimes, we should take our time to understand how things really are.

Pangea:
You are quite mad you know!
So you are comparing a ragtag insurgents to Hitler's army?
The best army of their time?
Are u ok?

At the topic
Buhari is quite right!
Though we have to swallow our pride but it's a welcome development since our present army has been so bastardised!
They are only good at threatening civilians and rigging elections !

How is bokoharam a ragtag insurgency
is it in numbers...current estimate puts them above 50-60k
is it in funding?.... they're recognized as one the top five well funded terrorist organization in the world (Google is ur friend)
is it in sophistication?...we've all seen pics of weapons recovered
is it tactically?... go look at their m.o or beta yet , follow the current operations and you'll recognize that plenty talk doesn't necessarily mean ur making sense.


it's equally annoying that you'll even speak that way about the gallant soldiers that have given their lives to keep the insurgency at bay but anyway,it's Nairaland where ppl vomit whatever without consideration.


Enjoy.

This kind of talk coming from a general is embarrassing albeit disappointing.
Has he forgotten wat happened the last time Nigeria went on an offensive against the boko haris? They simply slipped across the border,rearmed and came back.
For the f.g to have secured a regional cooperation in this way ,hence giving bokoharam No chance of escape and increasing the possibility of decimating them is actually a master stroke.
Trying to score political points from d ongoing war is Disgraceful n disgusting.
The foreigners are at the border towns, Nigerian troops pushing in from within and thankfully by God's grace, the war wouldn't last a fortnight.


The caliber of our presidential candidates is something else.


People, choose wisely.

mart2k:
please, how can I make my decay tooth white again.

I think the dentist will be ur best bet. They can wash and whiten at a cost..






as per ur sexuality post; that really isn't unusual.
classic case f me was an old date. Coincidentally, I was d first t make her experience an orgasm n after the first couple of times, she insisted on not wanting to cum,at least not early tho, cos of how weak and tired it makes her feel.
some ladies just really enjoyed the love making itself , the extended pleasure rather than the end explosion of an orgasm.
Frustrating I know.
Talk t her tho, ignorance is an issue here. let her understand that f ladies,the orgasm can launch others n isn't an end rather a launch pad.
either that or find her launch trigger n use it!

Lagunna:
Leave matter for matthias joor.. It's not wrong to want to know intimate details about your partner.

Would you rather that he or she finds out the truth from someone else? Or may be you'd rather tell a lie and lie awake at night wondering what would happen if they knew the truth?
Honesty is the best policy here.

To love someone is to know that person". That means that for true intimacy based on love and trust to unfold, you have to get to that place where you know everything about someone and love everything you know, unconditionally. That includes his or her past. After all we are to some degree a by-product of our past experiences.

Well said..

People don't understand that in a relationship, not the rubbish gf/bf ish, openness is particularly essential.
How do you expect someone to accept who you are if he/she doesn't really know you.
There should be no holds barred.
If you haven't gotten to the point where you are comfortable talking about whatever, then you can't truly say u love that person.
A guy that loves u WILL accept you... Truth.
Y'all will never know the benefit of openness till u try it.
..but make sure it is to someone worth it.

As f me, my wife knew my no even while dating n we even talk about the sexual details at times.

It's beta/less wahala

nice choice of words @ o.p..... 'roasting'

It seems common sense like they say isn't really common.



r.I.p t d dead.

I don't trust the Chadians, nor Cameroon.
The Chadians have always had their eyes on the Chad lake/basin and , forgive my scepticism, but hope this isn't a well orchestrated plan to actively/legally hold territory within the Nigerian state.

Especially now that the Nigerian military has been completely demystified.
We needs thread carefully and wisely.

Anyway, good news.

mikeansy:
There was always something Buhari had to hide from the word go

Why take the long route to swear an "affidavit" in "Court" asking "INEC" to approach the "Secretary of the Military" for your "WASC" result when you can simply obtain a certified true copy directly from WASC and attach it to your INEC forms?

I think someone needs to approach the court for a simple prayer.

[size=18pt]"Request a court injunction asking INEC not to print Buhari's or APC's name on the Presidential ballot paper until Buhari fills his form correctly and attach the correct supporting documents"!
[/size]

The rules are the rules, they are there to be obeyed. Affidavit is not a certificate!

Well said..




quite a simple matter, apply to wasc and reaffirm ur integrity, yet we're here dancing alingo.



anyway.....


'Nuff said

LFJ:
The same trash from the same person that belong to team of incompetent man that cannot campaign on his achivements after almost six years in office. Shame on you femi, shame on you Jonathan for wasting all the goodwill given to you out hope that you will make a significant change in our lives.
Instead of you to admit that you failed us, and allow us to rest in peace, you begin to hire all these fo.o.ls to dance naked in the market to celebrate your failure.

Sentiments n prejudice aside, the rule of law HAS to be Followed.
Especially in an election such as this where corruption has been more or less the main issue of contention and with Buhari basing his campaign on his stance as an anti corruption tsar,.

The public deserve answers.
Are we supposed to start the anti corruption fight, by sweeping this under the carpet

Nobody forced him to the courts, he went voluntarily and lied under oath..
any other country,he's ambition/candidacy would have been long truncated but here, ppl are gleefully rationalizing.

GEJ, Buhari or Whoever wants to rule has to come with clean hands and answer where necessary.

All this TANOID this and FAILBUHARI that is unnecessary bullshit.

a spade is a spade whether u call it or not.

Amaechis b.s is just too much..
Absolutely NO regard for the office of the president.
one of his stooges actually came on radio to say the state government is on d same level with d f.g ,and no one has authority over the other.

Well,this is the authority..
GEJ has acted well f once.

NLanders, mumuishly carrying politicians wahala on their head since '06.
y'all need to chill.

elections will come n go, politicians will continue lying till belly full on the blood of their supporters.

'nuff said

Mynd44:
Don't you get this? People don't want Buhari, they just want GEJ gone. That is the problem.

You guys are not also helping. I just gave you pointers, what has GEJ done in those areas?

GEJ hasn't performed as expected, that is a given...
BUT u do not jump out of a boat onto a raft on a raging sea just because the boat stinks.

Am south based but not a GEJ fan..didn't even vote f him @d last election BUT I'll rather the devil I know in this election than otherwise.

There are just too many things that's causing me concern about this Buhari alliance/candidacy.
Things ppl are turning a blind eye to in their desperate bid to oust the present gov't.


Ask yourself a question...why has prof Soyinka, a known critic of Jonathan, refused to endorse the candidature of Buhari,as most expected, rather choosing to kip mum n watch

we needs be careful.

What is courtesy for you is not courtesy for me. Have you ever lived in a real northern settlement?

First of all you are expected to know 10 neighbours to your right, 10 to your left, 10 in front, 10 behind.

Secondly you can eat communally, the men gather in one compound in the evening and everybody from the different houses bring food and they eat one by one, the women and kids do same

Thirdly food is cooked and left in the flask or in the pot, anyone is free to access it
This is what i grew up seeing. Now I understand some other cultures they may not trust neighbours or share food it doesn't make them unfriendly just means their circumstances are different and may have led to mistrust.

Also some other cultures people guard their food for " security reasons" in the north we believe no one can kill you expect God wills. Some may describe this as careless but its their own way of life its different not wrong and guarding food may be different too but not wrong

j

This frankly is a poor e.g of the point ur trying to make.
first of all, we're talking visitors/guests, ur talking neighbors in a communal setting.
as per ur example, most settings as u described above, most tins (including cooking etc) are done communally (common kitchen etc, everyone pitching in to help, no one in particular owning exclusively anything) and as such examples doesn't apply here.

in most homes, certain areas are deemed private, d kitchen inclusive.
except the status of the relationship permits,no guest should just walk in and make use of anothers kitchen. It's just wrong abeg.

chaircover:
LOL . . he will hear it o!
Personally, side chick or not, I wouldnt even go to a place that I am not comfortable with
For all we know it was that same cassidy that woke up feeling hungry in the morning
She cooked wahala . . if she didnt cook trouble . .
I wonder if the OP would have been as angry if it had been Cassidys wife of 20 years . . . .Hmmmmm

Then a few threads down the line, we complain that single ladies are being "forced" to get married. meanwhile the undercurrents actually come from fellow women. Its not the parents, its not the men . . .its us women being nasty to fellow women

Personally I would have been acomodating to the girl and given her good advise and taken her under my wing and we become "buddys" even if we dont end up being very close, but to some wives every other woman is a threat and a danger. It is well.

. It is well.

I think I toe d line of bukatyne n co on dis one.
I find it really rude n discourteous for visitors to just pop into a person's kitchen to cook or whatever.
It'll be understandable if the relationship btw the parties has transcended that...but for a first time visitor, it's an absolute NO f me.

courtesy cuts across culture..
