Ol boy
it aint looking good for you

From what i've read, these ho.es is big bootied, STD laden and Sluts to boot.
Get the Bleep out while u still can boy.

The Ocean is deep and blue fish never finish.

Congolese ho.es is a lot safer i think

Nigeria is trapped in a vicious cycle of corruption & poverty.
Corruption in this country has become so systemic and a part of us that sometimes i feel that by merely breathing the air in this country newborn kids imbibe the evil.
If u can deal a big blow to any one of the two ills, then we are on the highway to Paradise.

however i feel we need to face first corruption because if it persists, U can't tackle poverty.
This can be done by employing tact and guile and not necessarily taking the moral high ground/Ribaduesque tactics.


For example: We can encourage those past leaders and Looters that have been looted us to come and Invest those funds in say our infrastructure (Power, Transportation, Agriculture) such investment will lead to unconditional pardons. besides they & their families will become the Rockefeller & Carnegie of this country. Afterall Public-Private partnership is the l8est in a string of buzz phrases and  with other major world economies looking for massive funds to reboot their economies and funds becoming scare, who is best to invest in Nigeria if not Nigerians.
The knock on effect is that Industrialization and wealth creation is kick started which will provide more funds for Government via taxes.
Fashola has shown us Oil aint the only revenue source.
These funds thus generated will be channeled to Health care, Education, Security and other not so profitable services that govt needs to guarantee or provide outright.

Ultimately, as the standard of living improves across the board and our people (bulk of whom are illiterate esp up north) become more enlightened, they will begin to demand more of their leaders and also be better non-compromised positions of demanding Good governance. As opposed to a governor drilling a borehole or planting some friggin flowers and making a helluva noise out of it OR looking for hand-downs from the leaders and engaging in the nauseating Sycophancy that suffocates us.

Also, reduction in poverty will lead to reduction in other ills such as ethnicity which i feel feeds off poverty.

Long Live nigeria

luka1981:
@poster why do nigerians prefer to stay in prison outside nigeria than to stay in nigeria?

Unless u're a 419 kingpin or some other top shot, its best u take ur chances in a prison outside the shores of this country
cos at least ur basic human rights stand a better chance of being respected.

Criminals go to jail in the states & come out with diplomas, vocational(advanced criminal if u want) skills, Muscles & sometimes the unfortunate have sore assholes. But all in all their prison na country club compared to kirikiri.

U need to refine ur question to include the context under which u want to be a good politician.

The political terrain varies from country to country and culture to culture.

Generally speaking, my advise to u is as follows;

  don't get too attached to any friends u make today, because they might be ur enemies tomorrow.
  If u are the stingy type especially whilst on ur way up, then thats a habit u'll need to drop (share the money, when u get there u'll recoup)
  learn to skirt around issues without necessarily committing to a position this lesson is from Obama, the Rhetoric master.

Basically read & master the 48 laws of power by Robert Greene and apply any law as the situation calls for it. (remember these laws tend to cancel each other out so redefine them to suit ur personality).


Finally if u're Nigerian, make sure ur Jazz (Juju) is the latest and most potent.
and most importantly dont forget to settle me when u get there or i'll set the proverbial banana peel for U.

good luck as u build ur political career.

~Lol ,just looking at their pics gets me in a fit of giggles!! -They both are in their own right!! I like Osita tho,something about him makes me

Let me finish that for you, Get all hot & wet in ur special place abi?

when push comes to shove, nobody wan die.

So Ribadu Run Nigga, Run.

mikeansy:
Another curious allergy

Why Nigerians dey get angry at anybody wey talk say corruption no good

The first step to success in anything is recognition of need. Ohakim was only talking in parables.

He is also a great governor

Its either u dont stay in Imo state & follow the propaganda on NTA and Sun News paper.
OR
U have direct link & dey chop with the Guy.

Ikedi Ohakim read & mastered Chimaroke Nnamani's playbook about governing via the media & is exhibitng what he learnt.

Also nobody is getting angry at nobody for saying the obvious.

He is a leader and is definitely corrupt like the rest of us
instead of taking the high ground its best he shut tf up.

Tha_dude:
This has exposed Soludo when international firms were repatrating their funds why didnt he devalue the naira then?,

Soludo is not the problem bro.
Since he came in all the macro-economic decisions he took have been vindicated.
However you and i know that his decisions have to be ratified by the mallams (Yar'adua & the katsina mafia) who unfortunately have no friggin idea what they're doing up there.

wasnt it Soludo that tried to reorganise the Naira like 18 months ago, this was at a time when we could afford it. However Mr Shamsudeen who has never hidden his desire to occupy CBN governorship position scuttled that strictly on northern solidarity with Yar'adua.

the unfortunate part of the outlook for us is this, We (the common man) knows first hand what belt tightening is all about. However, the Pot-belly dudes at the NASS, Presidency, State capitals etc will keep increasing allocations to themselves.

they'll continue embarking on foreign trips with entourages that'll put the biggest cattle herds to shame.
Since the roads aint getting better, they'll demand more bullet-proof(yeah insecurity will be on the rise) SUV's.
Add to all that over-invoicing and other ills will keep rising.

Abacha who ran deficit budgets for years was not saddled with the size of government we have now & also the clique of 'choppers' was way smaller than what obtains.

Nigerians need to once again tap into that inner strength that pulls us through hellish condtions cos the road ahead is looking more efd up than usual.

God bless Nigeria

@BecomRich

Keep dreamin

~Is the g/f [b]Deeeply & Madly in Love w/ You? If she is & you TRUST her,then its your decision,You can always Change Your Pin if you're no longer sure it was a good idea/things don't work out!!

What if she beats u to the punch and changes the PIN for you. That means dumping the account.

My advise is if u aint sure of the relationship, u can give d chic an ATM for a low risk account.

Arewa Republic will also contain the 9 states in Nigeria making it 20.

so like nuzo said the finally grouping will be more like;

Odua Republic
Arewa Republic/Nigeria (wonder how the middle belt minorities will take to hausa/fulani domination, possible strife)
Biafra
Niger Delta Republic (which will be embroiled in eternal strife as Ijaw will want their own nation or to dominate)

All in all, the above is a wet dream cos it aint happening.
the ruling class of kleptoligarchs are comfortable with the present arrangement and therefore will do everything possible to make auwals wet dream remain just that a wet dream.

"He that is without Sin let him cast the first stone"

Ikedi Ohakim Propaganda master of the Southeast, of the 5 SE guvnors, I rate Ohakim the lowest and my reason is simply because he makes the most noise.
what is that they say about empty vessels?

"Stone Corrupt Leaders –ohakim" I drown in derision.

pcmecom:
5. The eventual collapse of the US economy would create a "lacuna" in world affairs, this would lead to the emergence of developing countries including Nigeria


The American economy will eventually collapse.

I say a big Amen to the final point (even tho signals on ground say different)

Since they are the biggest buyers of our oil (our only export) that will kind of make point five difficult to attain dont u think?

Its about that time of the year
them fellas wanna have a merry xmas just like anybody else.

aint nothing u or anybody can do about the situation cos its Systemic.

try as much as possible to stay within the 'Laws' at all times, Know ur friggin rights and under no circumstance should u show fear/submission to intimidation to these hounds cos thats their tool and once they smell the blood they'll go for the kill.

Also, if they are polite with u & u're in a good mood nothing stops u from giving em a lil something to keep body and soul together cos after all it aint easy to be out there in the 40 degree heat.

she's gained a lot of weight

In other words, on the very strict model/pageant weight classification scheme, u might say she is cowish.

When i was lil, the meat served as motivation for me to finish the food (back then i was real picky)

somehow i got stuck with the habit

However like Hauwa said if i've got lotsa flesh to bite into, then it dont matter

bawomolo:
if it's true mercenaries were used, then the border with niger should be sealed for a while. those people are a pest

Its too late for that

Abacha an "alleged" Nigerien has ruled this country

A lot of other top Northern Politicians are suspected of having Nigerien roots, so they've been plundering this country since than days of
Othman Dan Fodio (also have ?s on where that dude is from )

dayokanu:
Madrid just signed Huntelaar.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr Schuster should note that these dutch revolutions dont always end well.
Mr Van Gaal did it at barcelona back then & results werent too pweety.

I have a friend (a graduate) who has been to every flying eagles camp since 2000.
He was 20 as at 2000 & was told at the time to try out for u17 instead.

Anyone remember Victor Brown of 2001 U17 fame.
I saw this dude in a Jasper united shirt (continental match) as far back as 1995.
He must've been 11 or so then.

This seems to be an internal memo
There are ways to report news that emanate from such and reproducing it verbatim is not one of them.

Also internal & Confidential sources could be endangered by such action.
If the publication of this compromises the source, Sahara reporters might find it difficult to get inside scoops in future.

Granted, Nigerians need to know the truth but throwing responsible journalism to the winds to achieve that is not d way to go.
If Mr Elendu of sahara reporters gets arrested next time he is in the country, he should know why.

Lets see if this one to will be another family affair

Putting my digression aside, these are my thots exactly

I've not been to the airport but the country I hope to visiting someday in Europe is SWITZERLAND

Correct man

I'm betting ur first order of bizness will be to open a swiss bank account for ur stash.

U be tru 9ja man always practical.

Inspired_m is the only reason i come to the auto section.

he has inspired me to dream & work on making my dreams a reality.

Oga Inspired, i'll let this deal pass on how my cheddar never mature
but be rest assured, God Willing we shall rock a sweet deal in not less than 6 months.

To get things rolling, i need specs and pricing on a 2005 - 2007 Toyota Solara.
I also need to know if it shares parts with the same model year camry (as some ppl r saying)
Inspired i'm counting on u to inspire me to order this car thru u.


One love

RedHotChic:
It aint going to happen unless he is ready to deport them all to Ibadan and onitsha.

Unfortunately, both destinations are rather too small for lagos Area boys
U have to know that a thriving area boy culture exists already.

However, the Area Boy culture which witnessed a resurgence with the return of democracy is a product of the way our political process is run.
Therefore eradicating it would involve taking care of other issues that it feeds off of.

@ geolabious

U are right

If i'm not mistaken, them drinks are supposed to be on the banned imports list.

I think i feel where seun is coming from

The guy has no intention whatsoever of being an esteemed guest of the SSS

Omo Seun save ya skin ooh

Yar'Adua & whoever is involved in the Orchestration of this crap, is being petty plain & simple.

The Ribadu issue could have been handled differently.

They could have eased him out of the police entirely (with his DIG status) with a couple of rumors about his career leaked to the media (eg. the scandal about how his cronies acquired seized 419 properties etc) .

Anyways on Ribadus part, i thot he was said to be from one untouchable family up north. So why all the persecution?

It sure does sound like self defence
However If the girls people aint vigorous enough with her defence, this might turn nasty for her.
All depends on the kinda muscle the boys ppl can muster.

The distribution of the dogs to the 36 states was outlined as Enugu State (four), Imo (three), Kaduna (18), Katsina (19), Kwara (five), Lagos (four), Ondo (seven), Plateau (seven) and Sokoto (six). .

Attempts to reach the Force Public Relations Officer, Mr. Agberebi Akpoebi, for comments were unsuccessful.

Ol boy can someone confirm the status of Cross River and Akwa Ibom Dog Allocation.

Dog meat is a specialty in these parts

If this oil price does not rebound, wahala don dey

Cos even if oil na $2 /bbl, chopins must dey for Abuja and the various state capitals.

this time the standard excuse for failure to deliver on campaign promises will be; una no see say oil price don fall

the only upside is that fuel prices should be brought down.
Nigerians be who we are, will other prices esp. food follow suit.

God na for ya hand we dey

@Post.
Very thought provoking.

the value of a holistic education cannot be undermined.

The DSTV thingy is also not helping the development of kids l8ly. Its like Kids 8-13 are no longer into all them adventure novels, or any form of reading etc etc.
Now its Xbox this, PS3 that and what happened in the l8est music video on MTV base.

Lord Deliver Us

BRF aint joking.

He should also insist they sanitize operations in that market before they reopen.
Cos even if they couple the money, a lot of underhand undocumented stuff goes on in there.

A lot of ppl are gonna lose some serious cheddar

PapaBrowne:
It's time to wake up! Nigeria is a hard place- no infrastructure, no security and yet it's soooo profitable. T[b]here's something positively strange  about this country. Something not taught in Economics & Business  textbooks.[/b]

And for those that don't know, there is a difference between Macro- economics and Micro-economics. The Big banks, Foreign Investors, Portfolio companies, hedge/Mutual funds, and the likes of Merill Lynch,etc, pay attention to[b] Macro economic indicators[/b]. That's what affects their bottom line.
Micro-economic indexes which affect the common man like Nairalanders are the responsibility of your Federal, State and Local governments.

So is the Merill Lynch article right? Very,very right. Does it call for rejoicing? Somehow. . .  yes, but not exactly. The ranking just implies that we have the least exposure to credit and in times like these when credit is caustic, we are very safe. Add that to the price of oil and the fact that Soludo & co got a couple of things right in their economic strategies.  And you see that the Merill lynch ranking does make a lot of sense.

Good news is that Macro economic [/b]progress usually translates to [b]Micro economic benefits for the common man. However, those benefits have to pass through your Federal, State and Local governments where it will be used in purchasing 250 million Naira plots of Land in Parkview, Over-invoiced G-classes, Over priced Hilton/Sheraton/Eko Hotel accommodations and other miscellaneous expenses like room service Hennessy and a call girl to go!

So please lets not blame our micro economic [/b]woes on Merill Lynch! Their [b]macro indicators are soo right!! Nigeria has the safest macro economy in the world. And we should be very optimistic, take advantage and live what we believe!

I mentioned macro/micro economics like twice
and like d'banj, dem come give me title; Eminent Armchair Economist I of nairaland

U don mention am like 7 or so times
and with the authority vested upon me as EAE I i now Cap u Esteemed Eminent Swivel-Chair Economist I (EESE) of Nairaland.
Bros u too much

that aside, i thank you for saying it as it is
Our economy is sound on the macro-level and to make it here, u keep the books aside & put ur streetsmarts cap on.
