Only seven states in the North?

Why are thee results so slow this time around

PDP literally imposed curfew everywhere, up next slow rigging in Kaduna and Bauchi

did you guys really expect Gbemisola Saraki to win? fight between father and son

The fight was really between Belgore the upstart and Fatah

if ACN try hard enough they might get some more rep seat through the courts, the first round of elections were rigged in some areas where acn could have easily won

Senior Saraki is about to be confined to his house, he is probably on his last few miles he'd better take a back seat and Gbemi better reconcile to get any sort of job after the elections

another of those dumb threads

Someone on another thread actually asked why NL Muslims haven't opened a thread to condemn rioting 


i mean someone in Enugu will say how come Muslims don't do this, how come no one has come out to condemn this or say that
I think imams and Muslims should buy a share of media houses based in Lagos so they can get their message delivered to your front rooms on a daily basis, instead of always coming to ignorant conclusions!

I wonder what these fools will be like working with in a place like Lagos with all these ignorant comments you make about other tribes and religion

AjanleKoko:
I say again, tell me the bank that gave money to the guys at Ladipo. Don't just make assumptions, go to Ladipo and ask them how they did it. Same as Computer Village. Go ask them how they started it.

You need to understand the country in which you live, before you can successfully do business here. Most of you, even the ones who live in Nigeria, are too bogged down with the day to day issues that you can't focus on understanding the environment. You need to forget those issues and roll up your sleeves. The educated youth in Nigeria is lazy and expects everything to be handed to him/her. Sorry oh.

Take it from me, there is no white horse out there. Doing business in Nigeria involves a lot of hard work, understanding the people, terrain, and the dynamics of whatever business you're in. And contrary to what people think, it's almost impossible for a fresh school leaver to start up a business, for the simple reason that the person usually doesn't know squat about anything. When you don't know, and you want to do, better go and learn. Get busy doing, and stop talking or complaining. That's just the advice I have for people who want to achieve.

I'll tell you something. I live in Nigeria, and I've set up or invested in a few businesses, while still holding down a private sector job. I have absolutely no idea how business is run in the West, and don't really care to know, cos I don't live there. Nigeria is Nigeria. Yes, we don't have the kind of government that is in the west, but, hey, we have to survive out here. I certainly want my life to count for something, and don't want to spend my days complaining about successive governments. Life is too darned short.

or perhaps the challenges/obstacles are way too much for most new starters, but then again i have a feeling you will say those challenges are meant to be overcome, i mean even in regulated 'easy' west one in every five start up fail within the first few years talk less of a very difficult environment like Nigeria/Africa, you appear to be saying the only main reason why people are not doing well or not starting at all is because they are lazy and very risk averse ?

How do i know you are not selling me fake china product full of cold air


i go test am you

SegzyJoe:
@ KNOW ALL,
You re kiddin me,  Lagos is  by far cheaper than Abuja, houses around my office are sold for N950 million, Ni.3 billion, infact the least you could get in Asokoro is around N600 to 750 million. So by comparison, Lagos is far cheaper than Abuja.
Am sure no diaspora can afford house in Abuja, except such is part of the looting elites

But at least you get some sort of security, better roads and perhaps closer to your political connect if you have that kinda money to play around
you can actually decide to take long walks in the evening or during the weekend

Na Ijebu Laugh Sef


I bet the weird guy will probably be happy he won Daniel's candidate just to save face, bye bye t to rubbish

Now we need a fast train linking Lagos-Ogun state with option for an extension

The only way this lame duck of a president can perform is to have very strong opposition hounding him up and down the country

The whole of the SW has fallen to the ACN and a substantial part of the North is going to CPC, they are already planning mago mago here under the guise of state of emergency and 24 curfew something they didnt think of before the elections they want to hold on to Sambo's Kaduna and Yaradua's in-laws Bauchi

I still think kwara or some parts of kwara gets more than the average, about 12-16hours a day

I'll ask the person i know where they live 2moro

Buzugee, the Ol' Gee , he is a cold war veteran!! if you check his sneakers i bet you'll find bank notes from different countries, trust no one even the banks!!

Nigerian politicains and their name tricks

How would you believe this happening in Nigeria. ASO ROCK the seat of the Nigeria Administration itself can not boast of Non-stop Power Supply with generator, now tell me how do you expect non-stop power supply in Kwara State?

I live in Ilorin, the state captial of Kwara and this is NEVER REAL.

How much electricity do you get in a day dont lie?

[size=15pt]Africans can create hugely successful tech products that will sweep the world off its feet. There are several entrepreneurs out there waiting to break through, but their ideas might never see the light of day because of a lack of seed finance. This is the reason Africa might never produce a Facebook, Groupon, Zynga or Google: There are no venture capital firms in Africa to fund these ventures. It’s unfortunate. And even if, by any little chance they actually do exist, they possess a flagrant disregard for technology and the very crucial role it is going to play in the future. As a result, they are unwilling to fund this sector and give it the acknowledgement it deserves.

Africa is undergoing a technology renaissance. More than ever before, the population is becoming more technologically-inclined, more web-dependent. With the right financing, our entrepreneurs can put Africa on the global map of technological innovation.

But until its financiers and the self-proclaimed ‘venture capitalists’ are easily accessible and listen to these entrepreneurs, Africa may never have its own answers to such internationally famed corporations like Google, Facebook, Zynga and the rest of them. Africa needs several Y Combinator-type firms who will believe in and support the dreams of entrepreneurs and get those big ideas out of the boxes and into the pages of history. Africa’s techies are equally as smart, gifted and visionary and if supported can transform big ideas into money-making, world-class companies that’ll change the world.

So, will the venture capitalists please stand up?[/size]

Basildon1:
Every month someone comes up with this type of lamentation thread! Blah, blah, blah!!

Are you at gunpoint to provide money?

Shallap, it's therapeutic especially for JJCs

Investigations by THISDAY revealed that those who designed the roadmap are not involved in the execution of the power projects and the controversy surrounding the suspension of the NIPPs by late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s administration for over two years had also affected the plans by the present administration to revive the projects.

How, were they part of the cabal removed over two years ago? You launch a new Roadmap with new projections in November/December 2010, you now blame you failures on previous administrations which you were part of

sartorius:
Am not an agent of deceit, what i know is that major work is goin on in the sector and power seems to have improved a bit.
We wasted two years probing the project and another 6mnths probing the probe comitee, that wasnt progress,
gej slowly but surely yes, [b]U sound like a BB supporter, [/b]i know u would like another 3 yrs of probe whilst the equipments rotten in the ports with demurrages and fines on loans taken and a big loss to tthe country.

lol everybody that see through the ruse of this our ND government is a BlackBerry Supporter, Northerner or Muslim

wow at last!!!

gracias, Have you ever seen the price tag?

I tire o, the obsession with buzz oyinbo C.V

the guy can probably do work but not in an insane environment with a clueless president that cant drive change himself

A situation whereby a not too bright president choose dumber ineffective ministers; so they don't outshine him


no wonder the dude is always shaking when he is reading all those prepared speeches

Top notch

so one year later, you hardly hear of 50% of these ministers

what a waste!

so because he is heading for a landslide , he shouldn't campaign as vigorously as the other candidate well versed in systematic rigging from the centre


awon ironkiran

yea by hook or by crook - the same woman that signed a budget without reading it


This woman will kill them with talk and those eyes that look like they're about to pop

She's a snitch she will be good for the senate, she likes attention so she'll do a lot of talking and grandstanding

My advice to other sellers on this forum, pls dont be in rush in selling that precious item you got with your hard earned money. Bank transaction is always safer, dont meet any intended buyer in the night, poorly lit place. Make sure you have something about the buyer to hold onto other than their phone number. This saying is always right "If that money is yours it is yours and if the item is the buyer's it is theirs".

Thanks for reading.
Bless

Excellent advice, bank transactions are safer, or mobile money, it's about time Nigerian do away with cash transactions and embrace electronic payments or internet banking

even if the cash is real you might be attacked later on!

Na Wa O!!


nobody plays pool

abi you na no sabi Carpenter for area?

I REALLY DONT KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE HAVE A FASCINATION FOR DEAD PEOPLE!!!

[size=16pt]perennial bomb more like[/size], it not like they a=only riot when Jonathan got to power, they probably will go off more often seeing how incompetent the dude it

wow a Nigerian player giving an interview without 'TANKing God for his powers'

seems these guys undergo media training when they leave the shores of naija,


you should read a premier league players- "no be me o i just tank God for hi mercies in my life" you know i was about to hit that shot but God just revealed to me that i should cut it" I give god the glory

Anyway sha we are grateful to God for making these young guys shine abroad

i cant recall the hat wearing president ever mentioning anything to do with a review in all his campaign, just empty promise

you need to be vying for governor or abia state or other political positions in that state, you need a godfather member or previous governor

and you are only allowed to have on a red wrapper tyed around you like a sumo wrestler

Okija Shrine anyone?

Members only

yea no wonder he has only played 10 games since 2010

Abeg the Olympic team needs players, the super eagles is being crowded out with returnees who will just be called ex-eagles in the future.

_{could it be that these guys are being recruited as they'll be in a better position to pay egunje when players are fighting for shirts?i wont put anything past these naija coaches and admin with loads of agents on their contact list}

manugbo:
THE PROBLEM HERE IS NOT GEJ AND SECURITY.

ALL THESE THINGS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SOME YEARS BACK. THESE IDIOTS DERIVES JOY IN KILLING OTHER TRIBES.

EVER SINCE I WAS BORNE  I VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THESE KILLINGS IN SOME PART OF THE  NOTHERN STATES. ESPECIALLY KANO AND OTHERS.
THE PEOPLE I BELIEVE WILL HELP TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS ARE THE PASTORS, IMAMS, CHIEFS, EMIRS, SULTAN ETC
BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GREATER  INFLUENCE ON THEIR VARIOUS ENVIRONMENT.

Absolute rubbish, the influence of the Emirs and Sultan has always been over exaggerated, the only people they have a bit of influence on is the state government and FG esp when it comes to collecting their allowance of getting employment for their kids

THE PROBLEM HERE IS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF AND SECURITY

THE PASTORS dont have control over anything, same with the imam that just theory, the person in charge is jonathan and his funny hat it might just be blocking his view or restricting his brain cells!
