Getting a boyfriend starts by first uploading your picture...at least, it gives the prospective boyfriends a sense of whom they are dealing with...

zebra: You are now talking. That was why i said they use the funds for other purposes other than research. There is a research work done by some nigerian academicians which i would love u to go thru. The research findings stated that "research funds are available for researchers to access, but because most nigerian academicians have nothing new to bake in the academic oven, these funds are not accessed and used for the intended purpose of researching and coming out with new inventions and techniques that will help solve societal problems". I will try and get the site and post here. Regards.

Correct, let's have the site so we'd know whom exactly to direct our words to especially on this research issue. Most of our lecturers are actually lazy and outdated...I wonder what history lecturers really have to research Nothing. They keep teaching the same garbage one could easily read up online. And when you ask them a question that challenges them intellectually, na only God go make that person pass that course. SMH

zibi2: :oQuran...Muhammad's Own Words:

Qur'an:9:88 "The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah's Cause."

Qur'an:9:5 "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."

Qur'an:9:112 "The Believers fight in Allah's Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed."

Qur'an:9:29 "Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission."

Ishaq:325 "Muslims, fight in Allah's Cause. Stand firm and you will prosper. Help the Prophet, obey him, give him your allegiance, and your religion will be victorious."

Qur'an:8:39 "Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah."

Qur'an:8:39 "So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)." What a religion....

Anobi Alfa, wetin happen? Na politics we dey discuss here o abeg. No be Ile-keu be this

I think companies like Beecham, Orange drugs, MTN, Glo, Nestle, Cadbury, Coscharis, etc should also be involved in university research getting professors to do it. Why arent they involved anyway? I know of several foundations in North America sponsoring university research. Several health institutions sponsor research for new grounds daily. why don't we have that in Nigeria? Poverty of reasoning and scheming.

Chinaimporter: [size=22pt]i hate poor men,they smell sweaty and sound disgusting.shot up all pooor men and women in da house cos i am rich and you are all meant to serve me and my colleagues so please stop dreaming and get down on you knees if you arent worth a billion[/size]

Guy you miss road? Abi you no read the post before you comment?

michealade: ma oldman don do am b4 buh street kamera no dey@al to katch us

Next time, he should set his camera first so we go know how far. Abi na you fall from the car wey him wan save?

All of the above. It's like a sequence. nice feeling.

aurenflani: My former colleague saved his son against robbers bullet and died. The best father one could ever have.

I still dey admire his courage.

Wow. Thats amazing. RIP to him.
Father's love

evanstical: is that not Mr Okafor of Clinic Matters?

Daim! I like this guy die...been a long time. very funny man

Tintinix: This may apply to your Nigerian father and all the persons who liked your post but not my dad or kids dad...

ok. Noted Sebi ur own paa na chinese

oh boy, person no fit laugh. Between Arsenal Board and Arsene wenger, i no know who mumu pass.

Nelly Ghenghen: I was actually enjoying the song from the beginning, i tot you were actually going to sing (sometin different for a change) and then "rararararorororo" came on, it totally wasn't necessary!! then at a point he began to sound like wizkid, davido, OLAMIDE, terry G and may D at the sametime ON ONE SONG, from there it became tiring. SMH on such a nice beat. This song would have easily been a hit.

plus must everyone add yoruba in their song? it doesnt work for everyone... plus you r "ejifranks" which suggests you are igbo, nothing sounds as ridicuous as an ibo guy trying to be yoruba.... follow psquare's footsteps.

What is wrong with being Ibo and sounding a little yoruba? even psquare dey use yoruba sometimes for their songs...same with Bracket, etc 9ice don sing in ibo before, same with olamide, Sinzu, Dagrin (of blessed memory) and DJ zeez is ibo yet he flows in yoruba and he is well embraced. Yorubas love ibo artistes (ask from Psquare, Phyno, Kelly Handsome, etc). They are all Nigerians...that's the main thing. 'Omo' is a yoruba word and I cant think of any Nigerian hip hop/RnB artiste who hasnt used it. So stop being a bigot. Let's enjoy our music without ur bigotry insinuations abeg.

tankoemmanuel: The black noise (I choose not to call it a song) is an incidental contrapuntal tintinnabulation. But the nuisance can do better than this.

But then if na china fone you dey use play am, u can be sure the beats would be distorted. Abi na china phone u dey use?

tankoemmanuel: The black noise (I choose not to call it a song) is an incidental contrapuntal tintinnabulation. But the nuisance can do better than this.

Jeeez! When was the last time I heard the word 'tintinnabulation'? 5 years ago?
But seriously, that guy try. If na Wizkid or D'banj sing this song, u go talk say na super star track. Encourage your won abeg.


_{Why I dey even campaign for ejifranks? The guy no even settle me. If he become superstar finish now, he no go remember delors again.}

Addicted already! Still playing this jam now...best way to celebrate Arsenal's defeat!
See wenger's face o...he is so brutiful
pa ra ra po ro ro...won fe pa arsenal oooo...

360command: i would ignore what you have written today. You really don't know what it is to have a blood created in your own image.

I do, actually. What were you expecting me to write? 'Wow! Superman dad!' C'mon, we all know what it is.

ejifranks: thanks boss!!!!! the next title will probably be " See Ur Eyes" what do you think sir?

Wait, you mean my own eyes abi the girl's eyes ? If na play stop am o...I get girlfriend o

Paroman: pls who go download this song first give us review? No need to waste mb Na only 5mb remain 4 my data plan.

Its a cool song. I like it already..makes me dance again after a very long dance break

Fix the title...but I cant stop playing the song for now...correct one.

Nice tune. Surprisingly, i played it till the end...and repeated it. Just dont dig the lyrics but good one there.
But seriously this is cool. Nice hook as well. Cool beat
Best way to enjoy the song is on Satruday morning when you are cleaning the house or just lazying about waiting to commit a crime Just let it play on....Good for azonto and etighi...I find myself loving the song....still on repeat!

I trust our Nigerian fathers! First, dem go stop the car, check rear view mirror, adjust the flowing agbada, come out of the car, shower you with curses, whooz you dirty slaps, and, talking loud, they go: 'in fact, you wee never follow me out again. I knew it, you and your mother have the same blood in you!'...

In most accounting/auditing firms in Nigeria - PWC, Ernts and Young, Deloitte, Accenture, most of the Nigerians there are foreign trained. Reason, they do not value the quality of education being given to our students. Who would blame them anyway?

zebra: i won't believe what u just said. Federal govt give research grants to federal universities that claim to be doing researches every year different from the money used in running the universities. If govt were not giving them research grants they would have probably gone on strike for that reason, or better still come out to tell nigerians that govt are not encouraging them financially on research. Because they have no research agenda they divert money meant for research into other uses.

I kinda agree with you. If there was no money for research, ASUU would have gone on strike for that purpose alone or betterstill, claim that the present strike is because there is no fund for quality research. We all know the present strike is a result of the lecturers' demands for salaries and arrears...not research funds. i think our so called lecturers have misplaced their priorities and they do not care for the students. They form the bulk of the problems we have in that sector truly. i can list their faults:
1. No improved teachings (same old things), no research
2. They do not encourage the students, they exploit them and paint a bleak future (some of my highly trained lecturers did that).
3. they sell copy-and-paste, buy-and-pass handouts to students
4. They exploit the students monetarily and sexually
The list goes on.

soild point over all. I like the fact that you pointed out so many angles. This is what we need.

[quote author=since_1914]As much as I don't totally dispute your analogy, I still think it has a lot more to do with individual ambitions and independent mindedness than the school curriculum, or else what do we say about people who never set foot on a University campus at all, but turned successful at a young age? Considering that a high school education isn't even sufficient enough 'technical' knowledge to invent all that you have listed. In my opinion, I think it takes a lot of personal effort fueled by ambition to achieve this. Take for instance Dave Karp the 27 year old High-school drop-out CEO of Tumblr whose company was acquired by Yahoo for $1.1 billion in May this year, he practically taught himself all he knew about his trade and still went on to make a success out of it.[/quote]I agree with you. spot on. Imagine instagram was started by a mere photographer who wanted to up his game. While school curriculum isnt the only way, I think it has a lot to do with how these dudes think. I mean, Mark was a student before he dropped out, right? Same with Bill Gate and all those billionaires who claim to have dropped out at one point or the other.

[quote author=since_1914]These kind of people are typically restless and simply can't stick to conventional routines and are also usually very stubborn about what they want to achieve, for them, it doesn't matter if everybody is headed in one direction, they will simply head in the opposite if it will further their cause. The truth is,most Africans are too scared to take the unconventional route to their dreams. They would rather go to school, graduate and get a good job like everyone else and probably keep 'daydreaming' about launching their own venture someday (but would probably never get around to doing it).[/quote]You are right. I know some of them like that.

[quote author=since_1914]Another reason is that, Most Nigerians nay Africans cannot see beyond money, and would rather have instant wealth than taking the time to do anything of value. Most of these inventors you talked about started their ventures with the aim of been part of something of VALUE, and eventually that value translates to wealth. But here, people simply assume that it is only wealth that can create value.For instance after Max Levchin and his partners sold Paypal to Ebay in 2002, he said he was almost depressed because he spent day and night wondering what to do to stay busy (after collecting his own share of at least $32 million from the sale). According to him, he simply wanted to be a CEO of 'something' it didn't matter what it was, he just wanted it to be something of value, so he went to work and today he has to his credit a string of ventures like HVF, Affirm, Glow, Yelp and Slide (which he sold to Google).[/quote]Trust me bro, this is one of our main problems. I wished the mentality would change.


[quote author=since_1914]Another key but surmountable obstacle here in Africa, is the availability of private funding. Most of these businesses you listed got funding from investors at one time or the other during the early stages of the business, which in the long run helped shaped it early enough. Although, this isn't much of a problem in Africa today as it used to be in the past, because a handful of African start-ups are beginning to receive funding from overseas Venture Capitals and Private Equity funds, it could still be better.[/quote]spot on.


[quote author=since_1914]Lastly, I think most Africans are mentally lazy, they simply don't like leaving their comfort zone, not even for a brief moment. Even on this forum, people show up here to ask very mundane questions that they could easily have googled themselves, or better still, taken time to digest all the information at their disposal, they would rather want other people to talk them through the pile of information that is right before them. Whereas the one hour they spent fighting E-tribal wars on Nairaland would have been more than sufficient for them use to thoroughly grasp all the information they seek.[/quote]Solid! I couldn't have written this piece better.

The answer is simple. Since he has delivered 90 babies successfully for a long time, first, punish him for performing the deliveries illegally because he has no certification (Maybe 20months prison term). Then, after his release, offer him a scholarship to get certified and fully qualified and let him continue his work. That's rehabilitation. He has saved lives, though illegally, so he must be punished. He is also a good resource that could be refurbished.

As for the robbers, their verdict is simple.

news: A woman was being robbed in her house in Okokomaiko. The men of the anti-robbery team under the Area ‘E’ Command were able to arrest Godwin Obinwa, who later gave a confession, which led to the arrest of other members of the gang – Nonso Mbonu, Emmanuel Andy and Duke Onugbo

. Just arrange 12 years for each of them. Let them continue their activities in prison.

Dem MODs go ban you soon. This place resemble Emirate Stadium?

zebra: But what is really the problem with the nigerian educational system? What about the millions of Naira govt allocates to universities and lecturers for research every year? Can they show us what they've achieved with it in terms of research? Only God knows the solution to Nigeria's problems.

That's the main thing. Nobody knows what research they do. I really dont understand. No accountability whatsoever. Pathetic.
I can count the number of lecturers that have blogs in Nigeria. How can they even have blogs when there is nothing to put on it. SMH

One woman chop that yam, she born the twins below...WHO placed the yam on red alert due to high concentrate of unidentifiable acids and rogue chemical! Na wetin you wan come chop be that abi. Goodluck Jonathan to you

sarutobie: Many don't even know the difference between a mountain lion and a regular lion..or even the difference between a jaguar and a leopard..some of these animals can't be found or adapt in another climate or continent..that's why you won't see a tiger in africa or the maned lion in asia.

Tell us please...A mountain lion lives on the mountain, a regular lion lives in the valley.
A jaguar can be a car, a leopard can be a leather shoe.
Tell us something new
