PoliticsRe: Emir Blames Failure In Neco On English Premier League by DeepSoul(f): 5:10pm On Apr 04, 2010
Why do we like mixing up issues??

Who in his right thinking mind would blame the EPL for mass failure? Like someone rightly said, some of the so-called teachers in secondary school aren't even qualified to be teachers. Especially in Northern Nigeria (which has the highest failure rate by the way!). These teachers need to be trained and tested before being given the license to wreck the lives of future leaders!

It's high time we concentrate on increasing the quality of education in Nigeria rather than blaming it on EPL! Please!
I have a younger brother who wrote WAEC last yr, did well and is getting into the University soon! Meanwhile, u dare not try him with football or Rap music. He'll school to you to end! He knows the lyrics to all the rap songs u can think of!

My younger sister is gonna write WAEC in a couple of months and she's forever in front of the television. They play video games till wee hours of the morning (I dont support it bdw). Yet they remain exceptionally sharp. Definitely not average!

Growing up, I dont remember ever reading my book so vigourously, yet look at me  grin

There was no Blackberry, Dstv, Facebook, Nairaland nor addiction to Manchester United, yet I found a way to use up most of my spare time reading Mills & Boon  grin

I'm not trying to understate the importance of studying here, just saying there'll always be smthn to distract regardless of what "era" you grew up in! And besides, I went thru very very good schools (except d yeye Nigerian University I went to). Even the so-called "less than average" students in my school were above avergae when compared with kids from Government schools.

My point is, quality education is key!

God pls kill all those who want us dead through suffering and hardship as organised by their silly governance.

I feel your pain bro, but on the other hand, we really don't know the particular person(s) who have refused to let us into our inherited wealths. It's very easy to generalise and call all of them thieves. But realistically, there are some, albeit very few, whose hands are clean.

For that singular reason, I refuse to share the same opinion with you. He just might have been one of the innocent ones.

PoliticsRe: Yar’adua’s Recovery Hoax: How The Four Imams Were Recruited, Paid And Used by DeepSoul(f): 11:58pm On Apr 03, 2010
Viciyke:
As we revealed in our latest article, the plot between Mrs. Yar’Adua and Ustaz Musa Mohammed, the chief Imam of the National Mosque in Abuja, was principally to bring a body-double of Yar’Adua to the National Mosque last Friday. The body double reportedly rode and practiced in the presidential convoy for hours on Tuesday and Wednesday last week. That plan had to be canceled when a Lagos-based daily newspaper revealed the plan.
See creativity!!! Imagine how Nigeria would be if they decide to be this creative, positively though!

Turai, Nollywood Gamji Channel awaits your arrival.

I wonder what Mohammed will have to say about body doubling shocked
PoliticsRe: Corps Members In Lagos Get 400% Pay Rise by DeepSoul(f): 11:46pm On Apr 03, 2010
honeric01:
Nysc was not founded for money making so why are some comparing the pay with a full time job? Though i don't even buy the idea but it was created for selfless service to your fatherland.
The primary obejctive isn't to make money, yes. But the government should atleast be able to provide enough to take care of basic needs which >$1 won't do!

If it's all about selflessness, then is shdnt be made mandatory. It shd become optional. You don't force anyone to be "selfless", do you?

@snowdrops

I am not refering to what they make full-time or not, I am talking about the DISPARITY.

N4,000 is how many bottles of coke compared with meeting a single person's expenses for one month.
The disparity is alarmingly unbelievable.

N4,000 = 80 Bottles of coke (3 crates + 8 extra bottles).

N4,000 = N1,000 per week

N1,000 per week = less than $1 a day.

And these are people who live far away from home.

Do we still applaud??
PoliticsRe: Does Your State Governor Deserve Another Chance? (2nd Term) by DeepSoul(f): 11:17pm On Apr 03, 2010
My "biological" governor, Timipre Sylva (Bayelsa), doesn't even deserve the remaining one year.
Like someone rightly said, it's Rehab > Kirikiri > Hell! Bloody drug addict!

My "residential" governor, Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), definitely deserves a 2nd term.
Increased quality in Education, Increased quallity in Healthcare.

My "adopted" governor, Fashola, deserves a 2nd term.
Don't ask me why.

From my visits to Delta and Enugu states, I think they deserve 2nd terms as well.
BusinessRe: GTB Introduces Minimum Balance Of N1,000 by DeepSoul(f): 10:26pm On Apr 03, 2010
This thread is somewhat confusing. Abi is GTB effecting this new policy to selected customers??

I'v banked with GTB for God-knows-how-long and I havent been notified of this recent development!

It had berra not be true because I cant get over my N1,000 that Skye Bank took!

As per Customer Service, I think the Lagos branches are still somewhat sane. Go to GTB @ GRA junction,PH and you'd be shocked!

Methinks GTB is now like MTN. They once offered quality services which attracted a large market and now, they are unable to sustain it.

They have simply bitten more than they can chew and are biting their tongues in d process!
PoliticsRe: Chief Imam: I Saw Yar’adua Last Night by DeepSoul(f): 9:55pm On Apr 03, 2010
Like some people have rightly pointed out, Yar Adua may not be in any position to make any decisions or have any input in this show of shame. The man is most likely deathly ill, if not dead!

This Imam had better be careful lest I consult with Mohammed and tell him to withdraw the seven virgins they have saved for him in Paradise.

As for Turai, hmmm. What can I say that hasnt already bn said.
RomanceRe: In Pursuit Of Happiness--will You Take Her Back? by DeepSoul(f): 12:09am On Mar 29, 2010
Leaving a child is a highly unnatural thing to do, esp for women. Even mad women who somehow end up getting pregnant are very attached to their kids.

In the rare case that a woman does this, that woman shld undergo intensive psychological and mental evaluation. Hv we stopped to consider that ths woman might have had a loose nut smwhere. . . .We are all very different people and we dont expect Mr A to act the same way Mr B would.

Some people are just not strong and dont know how to handle pressure as well as sm others, as I have recently learnt. It's left for the strong ones to realise that and complement the difference(s).

FoodRe: .:. Why Do Nigerians Avoid Cooking Gas? .:. by DeepSoul(f): 10:46pm On Mar 27, 2010
Most people I know use gas cookers. I hardly know anyone that uses kerosene stove these days. Even when I was in school, even tho I didnt have a complete gas cooker, I had what they call a "camp gas". It's very easy to use as the cylinder and burner are all-in-one. And it's way cheaper to refill than the normal-sized gas cylinder.

Anyone who uses strictly kerosene stove is doing so for a financial reason abeg.

[b]GOLD DIGGERS:

Every woman is a Gold digger. We just use different tools, some use cranes, some tractors, others straws and the rest, spoons.
The above statement was once my face book status message and I sincerely doubt that my profile page has been any busier after that day.
When I was younger I believed in unconditional love.

I dated guys with empty pockets, stingy a$$ dudes who would rather pretend to be broke than loan their mother 10 bucks. But it didn’t matter to me. Everything I have ever wanted, I have bought with my own money. So whether a guy spent money on me or not, had a good car or not, or lived with his parents at the age of 30, I wasn’t bothered. Instead I believed in ‘building with my man’. The naïve little girl in me actually believed that ‘if you are with a man when he has nothing, he will always remember you when he has something’.

Fast forward a couple of years and throw in the speed bumps and punches of life, and I am a completely different person.

Well maybe not totally different, just wiser and smarter. Wise enough to know that a stingy man in his 30’s will be an even stinger man in his 40’s and that the only loyal mammals on earth are dogs not humans. Smart enough to realize that it is important for a man to have his own things and be financially capable of taking care of me and our future children and not be ashamed to let him know that his ability to fulfill those roles impact greatly on our relationship. Let’s be honest girls, men waste no time in letting us know what they want in the kitchen or in the sack. They don’t bat an eyelid when they say ‘oh this girl is not my type’, ‘she is too fat’, ‘she is too thin’, ‘she isn’t yellow enough’, ‘she can’t cook’, ‘I don’t like her mother’, ‘she is an aje butter’. So why is it that when we are seeking to legitimately secure our future and those of our children we are automatically labeled derogatory terms such as ‘gold digger’.




However with every good bunch of grapes there is always the sour one which makes you think the rest maybe just as bad! Take for instance a guy I went on a date with some time last year (lets call him Uche). We met up at a swanky bar in London and he was absolutely stunned when after scanning through the drinks menu filled with expensive drinks that I opted for lemonade (£5.60) instead of something pricier. He told me of a girl who he had met for the first time at a similar priced bar who had ordered a bottle of Louis Roederer Crystal Rose Champagne on his tab—a £500 bottle of champagne. Although he claimed he could easily afford it, he made it clear to her that he thought it was outrageous for her to order such an expensive drink. The poor girl was so embarrassed she changed her order to a bottle of mineral water!


Another friend of mine recently broke up with his girlfriend because, as he put it, ‘he was tired of being her daddy’. According to him she asked him for everything under the sun. Money for hair extensions, cloths, bags, shoes, petrol, make up and would get very upset or even withhold ‘extracurricular affairs’ if he delayed payment. The final straw came when she bought a set of matching gold earrings, necklace and bracelet worth N450, 000 and sent the trader to his office to harass him for the money!


So yeah, I agree. There are ‘some’ girls who put the ‘gold’ in gold digger but these are extreme cases. Most regular women folk aren’t walking around like the devil, seeking a man’s money to devour! They just want to be sure their man can afford to take care of them and will happily supplement his income to ensure the smooth running of the home. However, in today’s relationships where the woman is already playing wife while she is girlfriend (cooking, cleaning and bedroom duties), I think it’s only fair for the man to start playing husband too.
Every man should take pride in being able to afford to take care of his woman. Personally I cannot be with a man who does not see me eye to eye on this issue and I am not ashamed to say so. Nowadays before I date a guy he must pass the financial acid test. Good job, good car, nice flat, generous with dollops of ambition and drive! Gone are the days were I was fasting and praying for a man to buy his first car only for him to put another woman in the front seat. Anh anh, my mother didn’t raise no fool! I will fast and pray with you for that promotion, while the AC of your current car is blowing me in the face. I will get up and seek the Lord early in the morning for his salary increase when I have recovered from our romantic getaway in Dubai. I will cook the best tasting Egusi soup known to man while I am in his fully fitted kitchen and furnished home. I will hold his hand through all of life’s ups and downs while he treats me like the princess I deserve to be. And if all this makes me a gold digger, then I’ll say it loud and hard, I am digging for gold and I’m proud!

lol,

@Poster

U no happy say when u ask, e dey give you. Some pple no dey give at all at all, if u like ask from now till next century, dem no go answer.

For me, I'm almost torn about this issue of money btwn men and women.

I am a strong advocate for women being independent and being able to take care of their financial needs without the help of a man. However, I see nothing wrong in the man assisting from time to time and vice versa. In my opinion, when you care about sm1, u shd automatically care about the needs of that person.

E.g, I care for my siblings. I am automatically worried about their welfare (even if they have parents grin). When I go out shopping or smthn, I end up shopping for pple I care about. In the same vain, it is unbecoming of a man to say he loves me and not even care about my welfare. I once dated sm1 like that and at the time, I dnt know if it was blind love or being naive that made me not notice. Sometimes, it's not even giving me actual money that matters. Asking me if I'm ok is sometimes enough. Bt some pple no just send.

Having said all these sha, poster, I advise you to start thinking of ways to become productive. It's not just about the money, there's just that satisfaction that comes from making your own money. Regardless of how much a man "spends" on me, it can never be as sweet as money I worked for. Ther's just that self fulfillment. . . . . . .

And by the way, since u say he's planning to marry you, who knows? He jst might be pre-occupied with thots of wedding money and after-wedding money. . . just to ensure your comfort. . . .Look @ d big picture . . . . . .
