had very stern warning about taking pictures on the lagos train earlier this year, there i was snapping away inside the train,
then all of a sudden the flash came on, you should have seen curses upon curses, good things is they didn't know where the flash came from
even this 'decent' looking dude near me was threatening to break the camera- until I showed him I wasn't actually snapping anyone in particular
apparently they feel they are being looked down upon

Ebutte-metta to Agege train experience

sulex947: must he stays in darkness when there is light, the main issue here is that there is no where in the world that the government increase their power tariff by 98%, thats way 2 much, and its called extortion.

i dont think there;s anywhere in my post that i in anyway advised him to switch off his lights. He said he is out most of the time, hence switching of appliances that run in the background; and i agree with you the increase is very steep but I've said in long time ago on this site (esp all those abroad is expensive threads) that the cost of living will actually increase as things improve in Nigeria

I would have expected the nerc increase would be gradual say 20% every year but seems they are being advised by the almighty western firms using their own pricing template

but the NERC dude said there' no maintenance fee

You need to do an audit of all the appliances in you house, then think of the one you dont need to have one whilst your away- like the fridge in the rooms, change all the bulbs and make sure the last person leaving the house to work switch everything off except the kitchen freezer n fridge

why would you have 200w bulb, no light on your street? abi u be stadium

Well done Prof on the record peak output but please avoid these johnny mystery tactics

"@ProfBartNnaji: We are very much aware that there are some elements viciously opposed to improved electricity supply"

"@ProfBartNnaji: and are working in cahoots with forces benefitting from the corrupt and decadent order"

"@ProfBartNnaji: which has for decades kept the nation down, impeded economic growth and adversely affected social life"

"@ProfBartNnaji: These unpatriotic and subversive elements actively and secretly promote the business interests of a notorious cabal in the power sector."

"@ProfBartNnaji: The Nigerian people should [b]watch out for these saboteurs [/b]working against improved power supply."

how are ordinary nigerians supposed to identify these cabals, just name and shame them, if they are doing anything illegal prosecute them, pointing out mysterious individuals makes these leaders sound like the typical 'blame the village winshes' crew

reminds me of this old thread

I think it difficult probably because he's a doctor, i'm looking to do the same thing tbh but i'm not in the medical field- this perhaps is the main reason

another reason could be the state he was posted to or chose to get posted to

or perhaps there are some strict Boss where he got posted to, if he were to be in a very rural location he might be let off for peanuts but in the city some egotistical Dr might be playing the patriotic card

or he probably landed with the 'Hey look at me I'm a UK resident, y'all desperate for bribes' lol

worse case is he returns for his studies and get it done another time, not like he will be needing it immediately anyway
I'be put mine off for 3/4 years if i cant get hooked this year, i'll just enjoy my holiday and come back from to work- no more 'sick leave'

imagine all these tissue people in swimming pools oooo, getting a clean wash--i hope they make it mandatory for people to have a shower before entering the pool!!

imagine all those booty gals twerking their bum bum, the gstring is flossing their bum


yuck

omotola1: How about those suffering from PILE or JEDI-JEDI?
Water or tissue?

just stay at home, no school no work abeg

and eat plenty of toast!! have a SHOWER EVERY 30MINUTES!

SO THE POLICE DONT EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF THE PROPHETESS? OR THEY WERENT LOOKING FOR ANY ONE IN THE FIRST PLACe?

Biggoozz: When I use d toilet, I use plenty tissue and wipe till there isn't any colouring on d tissues. Even as a guy, I use tissue after taking a leak, I don't have whatsoever smell on my boxers at d end of d day. Having some Yoruba friends, I had tried d water tingy especially @ restrooms without tissues to my sore experience....without knowing if d water that tricked down carried d stuff down to my clothes and not having any way of drying em up. Its so eww!

yuuuck!! you mean you keep staring, looking back to see the tissue samples,dark brown, light brown, very light brown and almost white

Yuck

4 Play: If your toilet has specially constructed instruments such as the modern bidet, then it's arguable that water is the cleaner option. However, in the context of almost all Nigerian households, using water means using your bare hands to clean the a-nal area. This means that fecal matter is certainly transferred to the hands in addition to the fecal matter that drips down with the water down the legs.

The person using toilet paper may not have a cleaner anal area but they do not usually transfer fecal matter to their hands nor does it drip down their legs. It's hard to see how using your bare hands to clean your a-nus is hygienic. Lord forbid it's a person with long nails, as with many ladies.

So the person using water, has a cleaner bottom; dirtier hands = 1-0
and the person using tissue has dirtier bum bum; cleaners hands= 0-1

the person using water will then use handwash to clean their hands = 1-0-1
the person using tissue will most likely walk off with no need to wash= 0-1-0

WATER No get Enemy jare!! purity

the day i tried this tissue business in college I was walking around like a Cowboy with bow leg!

Tissue -Water- Tissue then dettol handwash

in that order

Will you have a shower with just tissue? Water anytime anyday,

some people go they copy oyinbo until them go they smell like them tufiaka

HammedSodiqq: The sources alleged that the lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District was among those in custody, while some  suspects had been taken to the Police Force Headquaters in Abuja for interrogations.

HammedSodiqq: Similarly, the Senator representing the Kogi Central Senatorial District, Nurudeen Abatemi-Usman, has called on the residents of the area to remain calm and law-abiding.

The Senator, who is still on Lesser Hajj, made the call amidst tension in the district,

.

How many senators are representing Kogi Central

was he arrested whilst abroad?

Nigerian Journalist and their Nollywood stories

[quote author=ola_pluto]As the olympics rounds up, I can only pray for that single medal! 2 more days, 2 more days! Nigeria willbe disgraced if no medal shows face. I am afraid of the pressure this puts on the remaining contenders. We have hope. We have 2 of our best medal hopes still left in wrestling and taekwando. Lets keep hoping. If Nigeria does not win a medal at this olympics, I will be sad. Sad not because we're poor, bur sad because luck deserted us. Blessing Okagbare's performance is still fresh in my mind. I hope she can redeem herself tonight and anchor the gals home. But she is injured. I think the relay team was disrupted by the drugs scandal of Lawretta Ozoh. Christy Udoh is really young and the stage is challenging her. I think the olympics might be her 1st big appearance after the African champs.[/quote]

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]Do they mean they brought the victim in to give a statement coz I don't know why they should arrest him. . . except there is more to the story.

On a different note, I swear I don't think I have seen an article where they ask the Police something and they actually say the know the details. It's always . . ."We don't know the details will get back to you or we have not been informed about this yet" I tell ya, sometimes I wonder what they are good for. . .apart from harassing people, I mean. [/quote]and at the time of going to press their phones have been switched off, or they are not picking up their call

Why didnt they name the person since he 'allegedly' didnt deny it? and why was the 'alleged' victim not interviewd by the journalists, to explain what happened?


No statement from a named security/police officer, just random security officer 'who happened to be in the know'

You go fear nigerian companies making up stories, 'our sources' 'someone in the know'

Nigerian journalist are part time investigators/ part time nollywood writers!

noblezone: I served in Kaduna and my friends who served in their schools told me of how the students would jump through the window once it is English or Maths.

They would just mutter "Dogo turenchi" and leave the class. But if it is Arabic, it is another story.

and how many school were these?

I did some secondary school in the North, I dont remember anyone jumping outta the window not like you can anyway...

Thats not the only reasons he gave, stop harping on that one point jare

Nigerians are hard to please and mostly ignorant

this is not football, we lost to USA kini big deal, were you guys expecting nigerian college players to thrash professional players within 2 months of getting together?

Best of luck to the players jare, You qualified againt all odd, Angola, Morrocco and top African BB teams didn't make it

hollandis: Good and nice ,rthe Kenyan guy even set a WR.what's the use of defecting to another country when you can win laurels ,what a wasted investment

When did he defect o? When was the last time nigeria field a long distance runner?

the fastest man in Africa, former nigerian athlete is currently enlisted with the Royal Navy - Fasuba

The sport federations should be privatised, Banks, O&G should take over the Cycling, Athletics, and Boxing

Clerverly: I am 100% sure the speech was prepared before the Olympics in anticipation of well-prepared failure. Mr. Chairman, when are you refunding all the millions that went down the drain? Until then save us all these trash

which millions? the millions release 2months to the Olympics?

you think say you fit win Olympics within 2 months? olympics wey them announce tay tay tay!!

so what was exposed?

first fighter got ponked- Isah Mo got beaten by a Jordanian

Onlytruth: Going further with my computer analogy, note that you can transfer a software from one hardware to another and it would still work; but you can transfer hardware from here to heaven, it would still be domant until you load the software, be it BIOS, firmware, OS or app.
That is why Igbo can confidently ask for a separate hardware (their home space) upon which to load and operate. . .> thrive.

If anybody thinks otherwise, please that person should help me beg the rest of Nigeria to push Ndigbo out of Nigeria. Thank you in advance.

This is the bit i dont get o, with all these intellects why do Igbos need help to be pushed out? i hear the "they wont let us go"
how can someone be so strong so smart yet he's used by cattle rearers to wipe the floor everybody time

#UrbanMyths

Onlytruth: This is how I see it.

A computer is made of hardware and software. Both cooperate to give a working computer. The Nigerian space is the hardware; Ndigbo are the software.
Nigeria without Ndigbo is like a computer without software: you can't even turn it on. lol
Take a careful look throughout Nigerian history. The most enviable feat recorded for Nigeria in the international/national arena (which gave Nigeria a semblance of a standing nation) was/were achieved by Igbo men, from D...ick Tiger, to Kanu Nwankwo to Chioma Ajunwa; from Chinua Achebe to Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. Barth Nnaji is just about to rescue Nigeria from pepertual darkness which was foisted by dark souls; a darkness that has become part of the national culture. Ernest Ndukwu gave us cell phones and made it possible for some folks to be posting on Nairaland today from their phones.

Ndigbo are the GI in the Nigerian [b]GI[/b]ant. Remove the GI and all you get is a mere ant!

This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; SO HELP ME GOD.

Gbagaun!!

Are there nigerian journalists here at all, like camera crew or print journalist actually in the village

I havent seen/read any comments or interviews done by our athletes

centje: always pay respect to instituted authorities,even d NASS,no matter hw bad we perceive them, they are allow to be by a supreme being

>insert raised eyebrows here<

At least they will be able to tell their kids they made it to the finals of an Olympic event without terrible support from the home nation

more scholarships for them, thanks to yankee universities

Well done athletes!

spiritfada: I am so sorry but u re so stupid for saying this, How dare you insult a royal traditional institution!

Sorry what do these traditional institutions really do for us? I mean their impact one the life of the people they rule
