Wow! This woman is so intelligent. She is beautiful inside out. Ain't surprised cos I've met her hubby, Papilo once and to say he is humble and focused would be an understatement. I really wish every celebrity couple would be like this duo.

Buenos diaz, Señorita.

Hello all, now I have taken my time to move round nairaland to check out for handsome men (I love handsome men). So according to their profile picture, I have selected 8 handsome guys on nairaland. Sorry I might not be right o but I see them as handsome

If I didn't add your pix I didn't see it dat is why

1. Naijaboiy: I heard he won the Mr nairaland competition so according to that, he is my number one most handsome nairalander. It is not easy to win a competition.

2. Shamstiel: he seems like a troll to me but the last picture he had online was wao! I love men with Pink lips.

3. StfuareyouGod: I love guys with beards you and those lips are just too attractive. Handsome man he looks like the man of all women's dreams

4. Strahovski1: I think he is Indian, he looks Indian in that picture and I love that cool boy looks

5.Tosyne2much: This calm and gentle woman basher who wouldn't stop telling us 10 ways to disrespect women is just looking handsome when I checked his profile I was expecting something less but he disappointed me by looking handsome

6.vizkiz: This one is always insulting people both men and women but most especially women. But he looks different from his attitude. Handsome

7.Maxi112: oh my gosh! this guy just won me eyes cuz I stare at his picture for a while before uploading. Fine boy

8. Kulboy: thank you KashyBaby, I love his eyes

@OP: that Shamstiel guy is nothing like the real Dayvyid I know on Instagram. This dude is impersonating Dayvyid. He shouldn't be on the list.
check out Dayvyid's use of words on IG and the number 2 dude on the list, you'll realise they are two different personalities.

Dear friends,

I have received so many job invitations most of which I deliberately ignored with this feeling that the prospective employer cares nothing about their candidates for job positions considering the fact that most of this job invitations comes just one day to the day of their test/ assessment as most of them call it.
I know fully well that drug marketing firms and GNLD do invite people only to tell to register with up to #10,000 before they can start making their earning.

I recently received this job invitation, please I need help to ascertain if this one real or not.

Thanks.

OP. it's fake. You can take it to the bank. I got same too.

Emmahunk:
Hmmm, just that? And you made it sound like he is Mario Puzo or Sylvester Stallone by asking that guy if he lived under a rock?
By the way I feel that you have no right to cast any form of aspersion on Mr Ibu and Awurum or any local artiste for that matter.
You can as well Google Ibu for more

You're a wise man. Epic response

You aMAIZE me @egopersonified. I don't get it. I'm CORNfused.

OP, therein lies your answer.

Olarajee:
Cuz they already got what they want, flamboyant wedding, not marriage.

When you see pple paying so much attention towards wedding than their chemistry, they end up like that.

And if you reason well, you'll observe that your most called 'celebrities' are fake. They live fake lives and are mostly 'dumb'. Most even lack basic education. You 'followers' are even more learned and better human than them. I just wonder why u adore and celebrate them when mostly what they do are fake.

Look at them again and observe the trend.

A standing ovation for you, bro.

HornyTiwa:
Why is the Nigerian population so gullible and sadistic?

Do you know the meaning of diapers at all?

Diapers is not a brand name for baby waste collectibles,its a general name eg PAMPERS is a type of DIAPER..
PAMPERS is a brand.

just like SPAGHETTI is the general name but we have DANGOTE,HONEYWELL etc SPAGHETTI.


must you look for loopholes every where on order to get maximum profits from people's pain?


smh

Gracias. l'm glad we are on the same page on this.

I think y'all getting this wrong. pampers is a trade mark or a brand name while diaper is a generic name for nappy.
Pampers and diaper mean the same thing.

What most people fail to understand is that marriage is an institution established by God himself and if you must go into it,you must be ready to go by His tenets,if not,it will be prone to crashing and your human efforts will not be able to save it.

Epic!

If people knew how transient this life is, I guess they would live every day as if it was their last.

My condolences to his family.

You are not tarnishing any company's image! It's hi time we call a spade a spade. Lekki Garden estate development company is the most heart less and carlos company I have every know. All the houses in their estates are sub-standard and has one defect or the other. From the beginning we have pointing it out to the owner Richard but he didn't listen. The walls are cracking and bending even before the houses are finished. Since we have paid for the house before they started building it , Lekki Garden refused to refund my hard earned money.Two years ago a one story building collapsed in Lekki Garden Estate II (opposite Abraham Adeseyan Estate due to use of substandard materials and cutting corners). A report was sent to Lagos State building management office but as usual the report was squash and destroyed. In-fact Lekki Garden started threatening residents that made the report thugs.

[size=20pt]My final conclusion, if you have paid for any Lekki Garden building kindly go and ask they for a refund because they are just building burial coffin for you and your family.
Secondly, this loss of 18 lives could have been avoided if the first petition written 2 years ago to Lagos building commission was investigated they would have been sanctioned not to take short-cuts and theses 18 lives would have been saved. God help us in this country![/size]

A big Amen to your prayer. I wish the state govt could read this and Richard Nyong himself

What a disaster! I'm not trying to tarnish the image of any company but I have to speak out. Lekki Gardens has a reputation for cutting corners. Some of the newly built houses Horizon as it is called situated at Elegushi busstop have cracks on its walls. If I were any of the house owners I'll relocate asap lest another disaster happens.

OMG!

The life of this world is nothing but a temporary place of delusion in which competition in worldly affairs diverts us until we visit the grave.

All the hustle to become this and that becomes a thing of the past with death.
Engr./Dr./Barrister. ....becomes 'the body' in death.

Hustle hard like you'll live forever and live a righteous life like you'll die tomorrow.

Well said, Bro.

That was sheer tenacity at its best. Every youth should learn a lesson from this and not give up on the beauty of their dreams. I hope this makes front page.

Pls tell us the poison story and make sense of the whole nonsense already..
N20 poison was all it took..

Could someone tell me what this fellow is talking about?

@DTALLPRINCE You're welcome

*** Please read the letter below, by Chief Awolowo requesting for an education loan from Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola on March 25, 1943 , (the richest Ijebu man in those days) and promised to pay back by 1955. It is fascinating, long and interesting. ****

~ LETTER:

Dear Mr. Odutola,

I think it will be an exceeding saving of time and more business-like if I avoid all sweet preliminaries and go straight into the object of this letter and say that I am writing to ask you to be good enough to lend me a sum of £1,400 (One thousand and four hundred pounds) free of interest for twelve years.

It is a staggering figure! More staggering indeed does it become, when it is realized that I, who am asking for this loan, have nothing in all the world to give as a security for this money, excepting my good faith and my brains which again are of value only so long as I continue to breathe the breath of life!

Nevertheless, I here proceed to outline in brief why i want this big loan from you. And I hope you will be kind enough to sacrifice some time to go through what I have to say, even though, in the end you might find yourself unable to do me this grand favour.

One great ambition of mine since my boyhood days is to be a lawyer, a politician and a journalist, rolled into one. I cherish politics and journalism as a career, and I desire advocacy as a means of livelihood. For you will agree with me that a politician or journalist who has no money with which to support himself and family comfortably, is like a blade which has no razor.

Now, at one time, I was on the verge of making enough money with which I could proceed to England in order to pursue the object of my ambition; but I suffered a twist in my fortune, and I crashed. Ever since, I have tried without success to recover lost grounds, financially. But spiritually and intellectually, I have made appreciable advance in spite of towering difficulties, all of which have now been surmounted.

As you are aware, I have just passed the intermediate Bachelor of Commerce Examination. Next year, I am taking the final B.Com. Having a degree is not my goal; I hate to be a government or mercantile employee. Otherwise, there are opportunities for me here and there to get a suitable and well paid job under government or one of the mercantile houses. As you know, however, once I become an employee of government or a mercantile establishment that is the end to my career as a politician and journalist. I have therefore resolved that under no circumstances will I take up such employment.

That is just by the way. I am now thirty-four years of age. After careful thought, I have come to the conclusion that if I could raise a loan free of interest sufficient to cover expenses, I should go to England, this year and within three years, I should qualify as a Barrister –at –law, and also obtain with Honours the LL.B Degree of London University. In addition this degrees apart from giving me good backing as a solicitor and Advocate will help me immensely as a politician and journalist.

But where on earth could i get the money? Who in Nigeria today could give £1,400 free of interest to help his fellow-man? J. Henry Doherty, Esq., of illustrious memory who did the like to many successful Nigerians is no more. But after meticulous, shifting and weighing, I hit upon you.

I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that out of the bounty with which providence blesses your grit and efforts as a businessman, you can well easily afford to advance such a sum of money. I have no doubt too that as a young and progressive man you will be quite happy to give the money for the pursuit of the project for which I desire it.

But then, could you take this risk?

That is the question. As I have said before, I have no security for this loan. Moreover, I want it free of interest. So that you stand to gain absolutely NOTHING in the whole transaction, except the satisfaction that by helping me to achieve my ambition you are indirectly or even directly helping Nigeria or even Africa.

This risk becomes greater when it is borne in mind that I might die in the course of my studies or immediately after, so that, since I have no security or surety, you stand the chance of losing not only the money but also the satisfaction which you may cherish that you are contributing to the uplift of Africa. It is indeed a great risk; the greatest any man ever embarks upon.

But, this is a big BUT, if I live, as I have no doubt I will do, you will not only get your money back in full, but you will, to the end of your days, have cause to rejoice that you have done one of the most outstanding and most philanthropic acts any human being ever does. Among other things, I shall make excellent use of the money while in England by breaking records in my examination. On my return to Nigeria, I shall strive to be one of the foremost advocates, politicians and writers in West Africa, and while I do all these, I shall make it a point not only to pay your money back in full, but also to repay your kindness and generosity towards me in every way I can.

All the same, it is a big risk! So, Sir, I like you to think seriously about it, and see if you can take it in the interest of a young man who has brain, industry and determination to back his ambition, but lacks the money. I know we have never been close friends, but I have a shrewd idea that you may take the risk and help me.

On this assumption, therefore, I proceed to the next and last stage of this letter.

I shall not require the whole £1,400 in a lump sum. To start with, you will help me pay a sum of £208-13s-3d to the Inner Temple. I have already received an application form from this Inn of Court; and from the details forwarded, I gather that the sum of £208-13s-3d will cover all the cost of training as a barrister, examination fees excluded.

When I am ready to sail, you will advance me a sum of £100 to cover passage, provision for my family and any other incidental expenses (NOTE: If I got torpedoed on the way, you would certainly lose this £100 but you will recover the £208-13s-3d).

At the same time you will remit to a London Bank the sum of £491-6s-9d. It is out of this amount that I shall pay the university fees for LL.B course and for special courses in political science and journalism, when I land in England. This is to say, the initial advance will total £800.

At the end of the first year, provided I make satisfactory progress in my studies, you will give instruction to the bank to honour all cheques from me drawn on this account. There will be an arrangement to be signed by me on my return.

On my return, I shall require TWO years within which to establish a solid practice and build a good reputation. After these two years, I should commence to pay at least £200 per annum either in monthly, quarterly or annual payments. So that in seven years after the first two years, I should pay back the whole sum of £1,400. That will be TWELVE YEARS from the time you help me to pay this in April or so this year, then I should be due to pay the whole of £1,400 by April 1955.

Now, as you yourself will see, this is the farthest limit within which I can pay the money. It may be possible for me to pay the money within THREE to FIVE years of my return. As a matter of fact, the sooner I pay it off, the better. But it is much better to be on the safe side in a matter like this. It is no making promises now which will be difficult to fulfil in future. On the contrary it is better to mention a period of twelve years and pay within SIX or EIGHT years than to mention FIVE YEARS and fail to pay within TEN years. Personally, I prefer that I should fail to get the loan under theses unattractive but sure conditions, rather than succeed in getting it under attractive but precarious conditions.

Now, this is all I have to say. You have my request before you, and the reason why i make the request. It is left for you to decide whether it is worthwhile to take the risk of helping me in the manner outlined above or not.

If you do me the great favour, not only myself and all that are mine, but also God and Africa will be grateful, I shall have no cause whatsoever to grumble or to blame you, FOR THE RISK IS GREAT.

Since this is a very selfish request, I enclosed herewith a self addressed stamped envelope to be sent under a registered post.

Obafemi Awolowo.

Merciful God!

* Chief Odutola refused him of the Loan, Awo could not travel that year. He buckle up his lace and by August 14, 1944 (one year later) he travelled to England, became a Barrister at law and was called to the Bar in November 1946. Amazingly, by 1954 (A year to the time he promised to pay Chief Odutola the Loan ) , Chief Awolowo was already a Premier in the Defunct Western Region and already giving out Scholarship to over 200 undergraduates....
