Lagbaja and Last Samurai, you guys need to cool tempers and make the audience profit from your intelligent argument.

I personally believe you can compare oranges with apples, though I recognise you need to put each in its perspective.

Asides political risk and fiscal mismanagement affecting Nigeria, Ghana's Eurobond of 6.2% is 3 years old. Global financial situation in 2007 is different from 2011.

JUO:
YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE THAT PLAN BAD FOR THIS COUNTRY

Parnassuss:
Bros you're not funny in your ignorance. The computers as substandard, the training (15 people to ONE laptop in the FCT centre) was poor, candidates were selected through the man-know-man method and finger print devices are straight from hell. They didn't work properly even during TRAINING. Corps members food and security ain't insured, you come expect say dem go rub nyash for ground please potential voters, komot that tin jor!!!

How sick eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewww

I usually do not share my personal problems on line but this one is beyond me and I seriously need advice. Also I have faith in the family section as been the only decent section on nland that give people reasonable advice. So all them Mature ladies ( chaircover, Outstrip, Jenny, Ifyalways, Sissy, Ujun etc) please I need ya all and everyone else.

There is a dilemma in my house right now and we are all stuck. Something terrible happend last night, My mom very very very best friend (they are like sisters) son came to sleep over, he is only 14yr, at the middle of the night, when everyone were sleeping around 12.30 to 1.00 mid-night, he quietly when into my sister room, according to her, she was fast at sleep, but she felt something cold rubbing her whole body from her waist down, she was was shocked to see it was him, unclothed, and ready to ra***pe her, this boy is like the most Innocent most cuttest sweetest respectful boy you will see very hard to believe, but I know my sis, she rarely lie. She is the blunt type, she may get in trouble but she never lies. So as surreal as it may be it is actually true. She said she caught him red heanded,slap him and sent him back to his room.


So it's morning here, and I have just been told this, I am sorry if am blaberring in my post, but i am still very shocked. Oh I forgot to say my sister is 28 yes 28!!! God I can not get over it, I used to admire this little boy so much. He actually has admitted to doing it, and he is still crying, he don't want us to tell his parents, cus his father is the hitler type, I swear to God he will kill his son if he gets to know, I know that man, We are kinda afraid to tell his parents, but then again my mom is thinking if we don't tell them, this despicable behaviour may just get worst as time go on.

So Mature people of nland I ask you please what do we do?

Atreides:
Ok so today i was watching tv and then my dad sent me on an errand. I didnt take my phone with me(looking back now,i cannot understand what possessed me to leave it behind),and when i came back i met him sitting down,calmly going through my phone. I dont have anything nasty on my phone-no lurid pics or vids,but i dont delete text messages. Thats the only 'incriminating' thing on my phone. I knew he'd read my messages because he had the 'boy' look(the one where his face gets hard and his eyes turn red if anyone so much as mentions boy). He then began his favorite lecture-the one about my education,my future,blah blah blah,completely glossing over the fact that he invaded my privacy. The worst part is that i dont even have a secret boyfriend. Heck,i dont have any kind of boyfriend,secret or public,and he was lecturing me for something im not even doing. The most painful aspect is that we get along swimmingly,but when it comes to boy mata,he is obsessed with protecting my virtue or worreva,completely overlooking the fact that if i wanted to be rotten i would be rotten,overprotective parent or not. Do you think it was right for him to go through my phone? P.s-Sorry for the long post. I needed to rant.

cap28:
no problem bros i will have a look at it after ive responded to one of your posts on this thread

litaninja:
@ Deejay20: Bros, I assure you the the Corpers CANNOT be blamed in this issue. I am a corper, why am i not involed in the exercise? Because I knew straight off that as usual the crazy GOVT will bungle the whole thing. And lo & behold, what do we have? Bungled up!
I'm a very competent I.T person, a network admin no less, funny thing is among the people from my campus the I roll with, i'm like the least knowledgeable (for real) . Fine, almost all my peers took personal steps to ensure that they become gurus in I.T one way or the other, but I have had complaints from EVEN THEM that the machines being used for the INEC thing are messed up from here to there! less talk of those who went though a kangaroo training to learn how to use them. It remains simple, INEC DON PACK MONEY CHOP! SHIKENAH!

Hokus:
Please people do not under estimate our graduates with your insulting remarks.
Have u seen any of the so called machines used for voters registration?
They are so easy to use and my 11 year old neice can operate it, so whats all this noise with all ya people hating and commenting
If you have nothing better to write or u r not abreast of issues, just enter bush

blacksta:
Padi Padi Arrangement. 

This is why i say it is business as usual for the corrupt elites under a government of GEJ  - The man has no balls.

In the whole of Nigeria we cant find someone that would  write a data entry software that captures basic details and a photo.

I am sure i can come up with crude microsoft access application in under 30 mins.

WHen i first heard of 87billion for ddc machines i initially thought it was some sophicated product and was so shocked to

see a

fuking Laptop, printer and webcam  .

I dont blame the graduate  it is a chicken before egg situation . How can one learn how to use a computer when you weren't trained with one.

texazzpete:
WTF do you mean by 'were they easy to operate'? The so-called 'machine' is a LAPTOP. Why should any graduate need more than 10 minutes of training to become used to a mere data entry software layer running on Windows XP or Vista?

A HUGE number of corps members serving are dumbasses who cannot use a computer properly. I find INEC's position perfectly understandable.

Why shouldn't he have that expectation? Why should any graduate not be computer literate?

Dav.e:
So what's going to be the solution? Can members of the public come in to assist? Or do they intend to extend the registration period by a week or two for the Corpers to get a good knowledge of how these machines operate?

Remii:
It is true that INEC should accept the blame. However inability of those supposedly modern day graduates to have quick grasp of those machine should be blamed on all of us. If Nigerian University graduates do not have edge over non educated person, it is a gap that a right thinking government should use to access and correct our education system.
Obviously, INEC has overrated our  fresh graduates.

sochan:
No this is INEC failing to own up to the rubbish plan they had.

How much training was given? how easy is it to operate these machines? are they the right machines for the job? Big questions that INEC should answer, instead of blaming corpers

sochan:
Absolute rubbish. Did they train them properly? were the machines easy to operate? were they fit for purpose. This is just plain nonsese, because the writing was on the wall weeks before, but silly INEC failed to see anything.

In my opinion, lack of proper planning, and the use of the wrong equipment is to blame, not the poor corpers.

bk.babe97y:
Man, stfu with all that bull shiyyt u just wrote up there? Why do yall Nigerians love to pretend that u know it all? Nigga u crazy? So, in 1968 there was no inter racial couples? This was a first of its kind? Man, sthu! You mentioned Biafra, yeah speak on that "dream" and stop acting like u know shiyt about the U.S!!! He abandoned his daughter ---end off !!! He felt itd be better for him to have a African spouse than an American one which his family would not have approved of, and like the useless Ibo man he his he hauled aszz back to the jungles of Ibo land. Now, baby gal is rich and famous the first thing this monkey does is ask for a bride price. . . . talk about having no damn shame!

YO EASY WIT THA NEGATIVE-ENERGY DUDE!!! DID AN IBO GIRL DUMP U OR WHAT

If it were that the north were intent on imposing Sharia on non muslims in nigeria how come they havent done it up until now?  

The north has led nigeria for 42 out of our 50 years of "independence" (military and civilian) why haven't they imposed sharia on the entirety of the nigerian populace during this period?

why would the total imposistion of  sharia law on nigeria  suddenly become the agenda of the north now, by the way Babangida secured nigeria's membership  of the OIC in 1986 and no-one accused him then of imposing sharia on non muslims then.

namfav:
when she didn't have a family, where was he? when she was being adopted why didn't he come and take her to his village? now she is married n he wants to chop the dollars

dumb igbo

Sadly its one of the proposals, is either its cancelled or only those doing PHD and brightest student will be entitled to it.

Ujujoan:
Ignorance of the law is NOT an excuse!

Whether or not they know about the tradition, they are still bound by it!

As far as the father accepts her as a daughter, they have to do her marriage according to the tradition or he (the father) will be excommunicated from such gatherings in the community!

Sagamite:
^^^Thanks for the nice story.


If you have the belly, it might be time to speak to your uncle frankly and convince him to be the one to search for the child. That might heal a bit of the wound of the kid and better than the child coming to look for him.

Sagamite:
As nice as it might be for them to want to practice their newly discovered tradition, tradition should not apply to people who did not grow up, did not know about and do not understand the tradition, ESPECIALLY retrospectively!

If they had been the ones insisting on practicing the tradition, that it fine. I find it EXTREMELY disgusting someone else suggested it and they had to (most likely out of courtesy) agree. More disgusting as it has a financial implication.

Sagamite:
Abeg, no make me vomit!

Sagamite:
Fcking sick!

I also agree with what  you say about Buhari's personal qualities - he does come across as disciplined and reasonably honest in comparison to the likes of OBJ and Jonathan  - thats why i added a further comment above about who i would chose if it were between Jonathan and Buhari.  On the whole we need  a fresh and younger more radical breed of leaders who have not been corrupted by power as i think its now time for these old men to accept that they have nothing new to offer the nigerian people.
