But a business school would bring you closer to people who could teach you some of these.

Where's 77philosopher come and see o. Look at the planes our pilots are trained with.

Are we operating farmlands that needs to be sprayed with herbicides cuz that's what I see them do with these planes o.

I think we better spend more setting up simulated training centres of modern aircraft with the hopes that we will acquire some than waste aviation fuel on these.

Stop acting naive, did you proceed straight to five hundred level and you progressed step-wise? They just graduated from a training school and on the job training starts today. I believe they would be introduced to the different kinds of aircraft gradually. In the bid to criticize by all means don't expose you naivety.

You are so PAINED. You seem unusually unhappy. I pity those who have to be around you, I pity your friends who are making progress in life, I pity even those who just bought new clothes because even they are not spared. It's just a pre-wedding photo shoot in kaduna, how else do you want them to be modest? You emit negative vibes.

ehie:

Please ma, don't hurt yourself, it's just a pre-wedding photo not their display of wealth. Please don't turn deep green with ENVY!!!

I am a Muslim and Alhaji my wife is a Christian a deaconess and we have been married for 35 years with out any problem as everybody serves God in their own ways. The Holy Quran says (LAKUNDINIKUN WALIYADIINI ) ie There is no compulsion in religion your way of worship is for you and my own way of worship is for me if you can agree on this you will live a peaceful life.

Please tell us the faith your children practice, as an Alhaji are your children Muslims? How comfortable are you when you enter your sitting room or bedroom and see a crucifix on the wall? I'm asking because I'm about going into such union.

obataokenwa:
I learnt a great thing from my grandfather. This arch deacon in my village was so extravagant and couldn't account for so many money under his care and he's also promiscuous. many elders in my village gathered in our house threatening to go disgrace him. My grandfather warned that if ever attempted, it will bring curse upon the whole village cos it is God that called him and it's also the same God that will judge him and caution him when he goes astray. since that day, I will never be among those to disgrace a man of God.

I'm not advocating for jungle justice like they did to this man, but if you see anyone going astray and you refuse to correct that erring person saying "leave it to God to judge" believe me you have a share in the sin. So the deacon in your story could as well continue sleeping with peoples wives and robbing the orphans of the livelihood all in the name of God will judge? So why do other countries (sane countries) investigate and try erring clergymen/women? Is it that they don't believe in God?

Xcelinteriors:
This is cheating. How can you post the man picture and leave the main culprit which is the woman. Expose the adulteress too

Haba madam, have mercy na.

henrydadon:
It a wedding dress..chill out

The husband isn't complaining who are you to complain..Nigerian are hypocrites honestly

What exactly are you trying to let us believe? Because it is wedding dress she should let loose her breasts? In the church? Is that to you a form of mordenity? Why do you guys mimic other races blindly. Here is how I see it, whites came to Africa, Africans saw clothes on whites, started wearing clothes, covered up like the whites at that time, whites decided to reduce the sizes of their clothes, Africans followed suit, whites decided to go unclad, here we are defending nudity in church. I wonder what you would do when the same white folks decide that nudity is out of fashion.

LeFreakSoChic:
Haha. Northerners and hypocrisy are like... Someone borrow me that meme...
They sniff gum, abuse tramadol and its ilk, engage in anal sex, homosexuality reigns supreme(Dan Daudus), they kill at the slightest provocation etc.
Yet, they claim they do not want immorality in their region.
What do we call this? Holy stripping?
I spit on all of you!

Sabon Tasha is dominated by non hausas and in fact non muslims, the same area where Andrew Yakubu hid his cash. They have a lot of fun, drinking, fornication and also has a high rate of HIV prevalence, abortions and suspected child witches. It can also be a volatile area during religious crisis at least for non Christians.

Guy, I'm Muslim and partly Yoruba, but this is some awesome reply, can't stop laughing mehhhhn.

This allegation is not fair on the navy, nothing in those photos suggests the inferno was caused by the navy, secondly, bunkers burn more hydrocarbons during their process of illegal refining. They also release more oil slurries into the water ways than SPDC+Chevron+total all together because of their rudimentary approach. The people in the Niger Delta are so defensive of their people, always shifting blames, nothing is ever their own fault. Everyone in Borokiri and marine base in Port Harcourt has a friend, cousin, in-law, classmate who is directly involved in illegal oil bunkering. How did I know this? Because I live there, not only that, I fly helicopter over these creeks and water ways and there are countless number of illegal refineries operating in those places. But my people would rather turn a blind eye to such people because "they are our sons" and "it is our oyel".

Yorubas attack themselves so easily, he wouldn't use such term "mad" while addressing an Igbo or Hausa professor. Shame.

BUHARIISCURSED:
so the vegetable never die

It's only on radio Biafra that you'll hear someone calls in and say "I pray Buhari die in the name of Jesus" and the program anchor would answer "amen". How do you combine that? He will not die, and trump will not call the dilector.

mapet:
I served in PH 17years ago.....
My coy has operations base in Warri & Benin...........

my fear for Niger-Delta youth is that they will cancel each other out in this their "entitlement orientation". Back then in PH, Shell gave employment slots to indigenes (can't remember the number). Do you know many of those slots were sold to non-indigenes? The kind of war that precedes election community Youth executives is unbelievable......then they become authorities and face oil companies for everything.

I live in Port Harcourt too my brother, all you have mentioned and many more are still happening today, you'll see a youth leader at age 50years, no form of employment whatsoever but spends hugely on expensive wines, cloths and women. They immediately hate you the very moment you mention the evil word "JOB" to them. It's so sad. Worst is that they have now invaded the internet space condemning everything everybody else is trying to achieve.

Northerner are striving daily to improve their lives, from Kano to kaduna to Sokoto e.t.c. There's a daily dose of achievement big or small and doing so quietly too even in the face of sour hurtful media projections. I have been living in the south south for six years now, the level of laziness and sense of entitlement is appalling (much respect to Akwa Ibom though), leaders squander cash big time, the average person believes government owes him/her, clandestine groups sprouting daily, agriculture completely absent. They wait on the north for food daily. Things have to change, we must learn something about hardwork from the northern brother.

Fashola's budget I don't get, does Fashola as an individual have a budget in Nigeria? Must you drag his name into it to prove your weightless point. This is a ministry for goodness sake, budget goes through several different commitees including legislative bodies. Get your facts right people before posting sensational stories that frizzle out after few hours due to lack of substance.

LordAdam7:
I don't have the time to spell it out to everyone who quotes me.

Nigeria's problem is not corruption. Corruption is only a symptom. Corruption is a relatively new phenomenon. The person that institutionalized corruption in Nigeria is still alive. He started ruling in 1985. You can guess the person.

China is more homogeneous than Nigeria (language is Chinese, culture is Chinese, there's no religion, they have rich homogeneous history going back at least 1,000 years, and there are only 56 ethnic groups for a population of 1.3b people).

India may have around 2,000 ethnic groups for a 1+b people population, but the country is far more homogeneous than Nigeria. Almost 80% is Hindu. Hindi is the major language. Hindustan is an informal name of the country. It reflects in the Indian culture, dressing, cuisine, and identity. These people have been staying together sharing the Indian identity for over 1,500 years.

You can't compare that to Nigeria with more than 400 ethnic groups for only 180million people (50 million people in 1960, and we've lost some ethnic groups). There is less than zero homogeneity in Nigeria. Less than a 100 years ago, our great grand fathers didn't know the people they were lumped in together to form a country.

And this heterogeneity fueled corruption. It is why not too long ago, 3 of the most corrupt Northern leaders alive came together and said their Patron Abacha (arguably the poster child of corruption with billions of dollars stacked abroad and still being returned) was not corrupt. One of the corrupt Northern leader that passed that vote of confidence was a direct appointee of Abacha to head one of the agencies in the same petroleum ministry that Abacha pillaged. That same leader is the current president who is insulting every reasonable person's intelligence by talking about being anti-corrupt.

Interestingly, none of Abacha's immediate family members have been prosecuted by the Nigerian state. But the wife of the immediate past president who does not have a property abroad, foreign account, nor sent any of his kids for elite education abroad is being prosecuted while here husband is still alive, while the widow of Nigeria's most disastrous dictator is treated like royalty and waltz in and out of Aso Rock to this day with impunity.

And perhaps understandably, you have people from the ethnicity of the immediate past President and ex First Lady calling it persecution.

Tomorrow, when a Southern President goes there to do same, it'd be termed persecution by the Northerners. This is a country where a Southern President killing Northern terrorists is unacceptable by Northern leaders, but a Northern President killing Northern terrorists is acceptable by same leaders.

Similarly, a Southern President cracking on Southern militants is acceptable by Southern leaders (killing of John Togo), but a Northern President cracking on Souther militants is unacceptable by same leaders.

Corruption is not Nigeria's problem. If you believe that, then you could very well believe that the Earth is flat because you are currently standing on a flat surface.

-Lord

You started your write up with the aim of buttressing your earlier point (population and homogeneity) but you got yourself derailed and consumed by other pre-existing ideas, I really don't get your point, are you suggesting Nigeria be split into 400 new countries to suit each of its 400 ethnic groups? Or you hope some Nigerians vanish away to reduce the POPULATION?

Corruption has been in existence long before "1985" you quoted (Refer to "Man Of the People" by Chinua Achebe - 1965)

The rest of your write up is totally incoherent and can not gain much marks if passed for an article in an examination.

Admin401:
LOLLLOL. just proved my point. hahaha

A Junior Secondary student (3) doesn't know that the shape of his feet has nothing to do with how well he performs on the field when he comes to soccer, Niqqa, i proved maxwell's equation of light when i was in jss2 while you where busy falling for every superstitious story every told.

you are the reason our average IQ has dropped so low, and there are so many like you.

SAD.

I'm kidding about the maxwell thing ofcourse, but the others maybe fact.

Your IQ was really high in JS2, but hasn't improved at all since then, you still spew this on nairaland years after such impressive IQ ratings? Why wont I be stupid in JS3? It's part of the process of growing up.

Dunning–Kruger effect

Admin401:
Not when the average IQ of that country is sitting at 68

Can't compare it with China, where their Average IQ is in triple digit. (105)

Back in junior secondary school, one dude would look at the shape of our feet and tell which one of us would be a good footballer by the shape of our feet, he told me my feet were not well shaped for soccer, I believed him, I lost hope in any serious soccer career, I grew up asking myself how stupid was I to have believed such trash from a fellow slippers wearing JS3 stdent. I don't want you to grow up asking yourself how you managed to believe this IQ crap. Please wake up and come out of it. I mean early enough.

Fabulosdave01:
Ibori is a northerner?

Alhaji Alamisigha from Kebbi state?

They are not united after all, Igbos act united when they are in Lagos or in the north, but in reality they hate and envy each other. Imo mass-sacking civil servants from Abia state, a man from Imo can not be a vice chancellor of a university (UNIZIK), but these same people will spill their bile if they are not taken as VCs in LASU or ABU zaria. Ipods please put your scattered house together first before you seek to bully everyone into submission.

LordAdam7:
Sometime I wonder what Nigeria would have been like if our population was much smaller and had just one ethnic group.

-Lord

If Nigeria had had one tenth of its population and single ethnic group and monotheist but with the same crooked mind set, Nigeria would still be this bad, maybe worse. My friend, population is an advantage in most highly populated countries so is ethnic and cultural diversity.

This persecution problem in Akwa Ibom is not getting enough media attention, why is everyone looking away from the issue as if it is not happening? So many children and in fact adults have been killed as a result of being suspected witches.

Prepare to be slaughter like fowl.....
Whenever there is religion riot

Don't you ever get tired of cheap propaganda? I'm not Hausa but I grew up in the northern Nigeria, it is arguably the most secured region, I live in the south south now and you can never compare the level of insecurity in the south south and the north. Not to talk about the level of productivity in the north compared with the south. The north is safe and productive.

Maybe Tonto's telling the truth. I feel for

You didn't read this.

I could say that mosquehill or

You drew your own one sided conclusion and passed a one sided I'll intended judgement in a case you know nothing about. Grow up girl.

StRichard:
Assassinated by his brothers

Nobody said your brothers (the usual hired assassins) killed him, why are you so defensive?

Christians

My respect for that man, he's an honorable man and brave too. My respect MAN!!!

onadana:
I know some of the fulanis do bad things but we can not generalize them all.I have a lot of fulani friends also even the less educated are well behaved.

This makes me remember how bad Birnin Gwari road use to be in the early and late and those who were robbing and killing people were called fulanis but when the military stepped in these were bandits from neighboring countries.

Let there be rule of law.Fulanis and kidnapping will die a natural death.

Believe it my brother, certain people may loose their sanity if the "Fulani" herdsmen noise is no longer in the media front page. They peddle such news whether it's true or not, all they need is for such news to hit front page, they won't bother verifying the authenticity of such news, they quickly pants down and start masturbating.

One Nkechi has purchased Hijab, wore, posts pictures online and every liepod member is w^nking on their sister thinking they got a Hausa babe, continue, waste your fluid.

Is it that every other ethnic group have stopped crime and "herdsmen" have taken over? Or people are just plain st*pid to blame every crime on herdsmen? This herdsmen card has been used to score too many cheap political points.
