You oldies you mean cos me i be corper in waiting, waiting for oga at nysc to send my letter But yes, it makes absolute sense since the schools and government arent providing enough and it beats these senseless seminars up and down the country!! I really think universities in Nigeria, should have career seminars and the government should either restructure the NYSC or implement a programme whereby graduate /School leavers or those who couldnt get a place at university gain valuable experience instead of wasting away at home for a year something like the graduate management trainee in banks/insurance/manufacturing/construction, etc |

The light rail network was proposed by the administration of the Bola Tinubu in the early 2000.
In April 2008, the Lagos State Government approved N70bn for both the Ojo/LASU-Okokomaiko-Marina Line and its construction, with an estimated completion date of 2011.
It also approved ?70bn for both the Agbado-Iddo-Marina Line and its construction, with an estimated completion date of 2011. just found this from another thread |

Why is sewing of ladies punannii common in your region? I know in Nigeria we have intimacy with minor up in the north, but why is the sewing shut of a woman's private part still common? And to make it worse, a man dis-virgin such woman without taking off the thread. Is there any cultural justification for this?
By the way Khaan is an awesome rapper. 
I look forward to your answer. maybe you should tell him why cut of ladies punanni is still common in big ol' nigeria! You dont know of intimacy with minors south of the river ?  or pounding of live babies with mortar and pistol east and west of the river for money? |

I remember back in Nigeria with all the stress i went thro in school, no job after the whole thing. Don't worry the economy is picking up gradually, by the time you are done things will be better as long as you are not shy of competition, many people run to nigeria immediately after getting the certificate! start networking now!! |

Isiola I dont know what part of the world you live but, I have always wondered why is it that most adult Somalians and others from that region avoid working and tehy dont integrate as much Secondly i know it sort of an african culture to have many children, why is it that they also do this when they are out of their environment and usually on welfare? Ikengawo: its a silly assumption that they are ALL mixed with arab when ethiopia, which used to own somalia, was never colonized by arabs or anyone Somalia was eventually colonized but whites but the hardly stepped foot into the country
africans have diverse looks. they're not all the typical 'nigerian' look and we should stop acting ignorant when they're not. whites and arabs came FROM blacks not vis versa exactly, afterwards we wil start asking why is it that other African countries hate nigerians!!! almost all countries in Africa if not the world hate Nigerians on first impression!! and we have the cheek to look down on others weird uh |

Islam › Re: Muslims: What Did You Learn In Islam Recently? by DisGuy: 2:50am On Apr 10, 2010 |
babs787: Principles of Self Development in Islam
Islam places a great deal of emphasis on 'self-development' where an individual takes the responsibility for understanding the purpose of human life, and for shaping that life in the best possible manner, for one’s own benefit and the benefit of the society at large; Islam also provides comprehensive guidance to achieve this goal.
Human development consists of processes of growth and change that takes place from birth to the end of life. The development process is externally influenced from sensory inputs through the organs, and it is internally self-propelled from things which happen within the human body and mind. Our focus here is the development of the human mind, which takes place through sensory inputs and internal mental processes. This development includes learning through the senses and cognition that occurs when learning is abstracted into knowledge for subsequent use.
Islam identifies two sources which play the roles of nurturing or corrupting human development. Inspiration from divine guidance nurtures human development. Not paying attention to divine guidance and succumbing to conspiracies, arising from within or externally environment, corrupts human development.
Human development may be looked at from different perspectives, both as a basic human interest and as formalized disciplines of studies such as psychology, science, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and so on. Contemporary studies on human development often engage in analysis and remedies when human development is impeded due to temperament, problems with identification or one’s identity, parenting, society, chance, and other factors. Here, we will focus primarily on basic principles of human development--aiming at covering the factors that may impede proper development. Keeping in mind that people have varying human capacities, what should be done in order to ensure that they all develop into the best possible capabilities for achieving the desired goals? While there are many factors that are essential for human development, we will first highlight those that may be more fundamental. The foremost factors playing a seminal role are those of being aware of self, being ever mindful of doing the right thing, and to avoid acting on mere impulses.
How does one bring these factors into play? It is through a process called identification or 'constructing an identity' (i.e. finding principles that help develop the best possible human potential, and role models that vivify those principles). It may be viewed as an anchoring process which gives us a sense of belonging to something distinct and valuable. Rather than simply and haphazardly adopting the practices we notice around us, it may often be easier to look at a good role model and then simply emulate that person. However, finding good role models in our contemporary living environment may not be easy and at times confusing, particularly if these so-called role models are going through life changes themselves and the consequences of following their life style may only become known much later. Furthermore, one role model, no matter how good, may not be able to exemplify everything in life. Even if that were to be true, the principles that the role model exemplifies may not be obvious. Principles can only be derived through repeated observations and experimentation. History helps us here. We can look at several role models from history and we can look at lessons drawn from the history of civilizations. Coming back now to identification, the single most important factor in human development, we need to identify with some infallible source of guidance, the unquestionable principles for human development, and carefully select some role models. Most will accept God as the infallible source of guidance, the knowledge that God sent down to us on the good and bad in human civilization, and the Prophets who acted as role models for achieving excellence in human potential. Being mindful of God, therefore, gives one an identification of what is best for developing human potential. It prevents alienation. One can always find solace in the presence of God; literally converse with God in prosperity and adversity, keeping one’s personality in harmonious balance, avoiding excesses on oneself or others in prosperity, and avoiding harm from stress in adversity. Of course, one may find it easier to identify with someone more physical than God in trying to achieve the same goals. However, God’s presence can be felt by anyone who reaches out to Him. That is what God has assured us. The other important factors that may emerge from this process of identification are being truthful and upright, and seeking individual and collective well being in our affairs. In order to achieve these goals, the quest for knowledge that exists and participation in deriving new knowledge from what exists are essential pre-requisites. Some of the best things I've read on nairaland for a loooooooooooong time! wonder why I don't come on here often THANK YOU ALL How i wish many more Young Nigerian Muslims are able to get this message and reawaken their faith using modern comfortable medium that fit into the 21st century, the local alfa jana si singing fuji syndrome is getting embarrassing for many young Muslims in nigeria- that's why they are looking the other way- suits, ties, clean comfy environment etc etc i know these things are not cosmetic but in this age. . . . |

I wonder what the basis is for your support for Turai. You should know that Turai's attitude almost ruined our democracy and has completely robbed her husband of the necessary sympathy of Nigerians absolute Rubbish!!! How can the attitude of someone that is not recognised in the constitution be a danger to the same constitution this is the nigerian mentality of blaming others when you have failed to do nothing or take something that is not important to serious!! The senators/reps/courts that are 'elected' to protect the constitution should have taken care of the issue but it didnt why blame someone that is not recognised by law? At the moment Jonathan/nigeria is ignoring her, is she complaining of being ignored? the media made so much noise like nollywood writers when instead it should have focussed on those with legal powers |
