TravelRe: Why Are Some Nigerians Abroad Scared Of Going Back Home? by dblock(m): 11:33am On Mar 14, 2007
The only reason why I'm not in Nigeria right now is cos ma dad got fired. I live where he has a Job.
I've lived in Jos, and Ibadan and things weren't too bad.
If it's my destiny to get killed by armed robbers then wh not, I'm not scared.
But I can't return to Nigeria to reside until two years, because it is nearly impossible to have a transition from the canberra educational curriculum to the Nigerian curriculum.

If I took any Nigeria exam I would fail, so it's either I stay abroad and finish my education or I go back to Nigeria and live as an Area Boy, not that I wouldn't want to be an area boy but, I don't want to die too young, plus I don't smoke and I bet to be an Area boy you'd have to smoke, right undecided

CultureWhat Were Yorubas Called Before The 19th Century? by dblock(op): 11:16am On Mar 14, 2007
What were yorubas called before the 19th century (or what did Yorubas call themselves?)

I read in a book, recently that the term Yoruba was only began to be used in the 19th century, to indentify the major ethnic group in South Western Nigeria. Yorubas are called Lucumi in S. America but I still have no idea of what Yorubas called themselves before foriegn occupation, or did they always call themselves Yoruba.

Yorubas were initially refered to by Europeans as "Aku", but what were they refered to even before that?
The terms Nago, Anago and Nana were also used by Europeans to indentify yourubas, but this doesn;t answer my question. Then during the nineteenth century the terms Yoruba and Yoruba(This terms originated from Hausa words) came into usage

What were they called prior

Were they called awontowanisale-osi
Or awontogbesumosidahomey
Or simply yorubas
Or awonomo-oduduwa
Or ??


Surely Yorubas didn't identify themselevs by Hausa names prior to the 19th century undecided
I am so confused, I have being researching and I haven't found anything.

If Atiku is elected, the situation in Nigeria will be so bad that he will be flying out to treat a mere cut.

In short----Don't vote for Atiku (unless of course you av da money to be flying in and out every other day) grin grin grin

Back to a more serious note, Obanikor will be a good governor, because if he succeeds in all that he has promised, Lagosians will see a substantial increase in their standard of living

Kitaun, you are an insecure amoeba. If someone knows what they are talking about then let them talk about it, it doesn't take a rcoket scientist to figure out that Tinubu has failed Lagos more than OBJ has failed Nigeria and that Atiku is a baboon, I will tell you the smae thing in 40 years time so what exactly is your point tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue.
I'm younger than you but I'm not the one speaking like a two year old tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue

Crude Oil will run out in your and my lifetime. what else does Nigeria have apart from Oil and Natural Gas, we have tons of other resources but it is mainly agriculture, what else is Nigeria concentrating on?, tourism of course. So you can choose Agriculture and Tourism or Agriculture(remember Oil don't exist no more)

TravelRe: Pictures of Lagos Skyline (City-Scape) by dblock(m): 6:52am On Mar 14, 2007
Ahh my love for architecture is indescribable, I have even started desgining my own buildings

* People just jump to conclusions without properly researching everything
* The new high rises that are been proposed by Asian firms, will be used to house average people
* Highrise apartments are more affordable than regular lowrise structures
* They don't require as much land
* It beautifies the environment, and makes it a place worth visiting, thus enhancing the areas local economy and pours money, really!!
* These structures are mostly funded by private companies, and are in the best interests of the average Nigerian.

Why not appreciate something if it looks good, I wasn't born to complain and dwell in place shouded with negativety.
Highrises are a way of celebrating humanity, and If you can't see te good in them, then you obviously don't like life and in that case you need therapy
TravelRe: Pictures of Lagos Skyline (City-Scape) by dblock(m): 1:57am On Mar 14, 2007
all of yall that think commercial high rises are deceptive, well get ready for more anger cos, Nigeria with help from Indonesia are planning more buildings tongue tongue tongue tongue

PoliticsRe: Pat Utomi For President In 2007? by dblock(m): 11:54am On Mar 13, 2007
[size=15pt]It's this simple, if you don't vote for Pat Utomi during the election, then you must never complain about Nigeria till you are deceased. Yes I said, anyone that doesn't vote for Pat Utomi should not say anything negative about Nigeria or criticize the government in any manner. To disobey this order would be very hypocritical, and although the action would not be punished it would clearly highlight that the offender is the lowest form of life from on this planet[/size]
This is not a joke, or some stupidity from me, this is reality----------BELIEVE IT--------
PoliticsRe: Who Will Rule Lagos Come May 2007? by dblock(m): 11:50am On Mar 13, 2007
Obanikoro for Lagos

Pat Utomi for Nigeria

If that happens then, it's got to be a dream, cos good things seldomly happen in Africa, yes I am implying that Obanior and Pat Utomi are good, because they are good for Nigeria
