_{^^^ same shyte different days}

call you for what? what exactly do you want to discuss?

Nigerians should learn how to do business jare, always quick to post phone numbers like it's hobby

afam4eva:
Duhh, don't you think that's because most of UK's resources in plunged into the development of london just like it's done in Nigeria.

Duhhh, London has always served as a gateway to most of the products manufactured in the past and now it actually account for a huge percentage of national GDP and stop acting like other parts of UK isnt developed, you actually have to realise other people like their culture and traditions preserved and not washed away by some glittering light on a tall square building

England's capital is London. The City of London is London's major financial district, and one of the world's leading financial centres. The city is where the London Stock Exchange, as well as many other exchanges, are based.

Service industries, particularly banking, insurance, and business services, account by far for the largest proportion of GDP and employ around 80% of the working population.

Leeds is the UK's second largest financial centre[2], with over 30 national and international banks based in the city[3]. Over 124,000 people are employed in banking and financial services in Leeds, and over in the wider Leeds City Region[4][5][6].

Service sector is all about brains!

afam4eva:
Yes i'm sure a city VS city freak. I just love american cities.

totally understandable, I too would, if I were from Nnewi South

Hi

this guy that cant convince the nation to clear the way for tinapa 
this guy that was speaking phoney to some market women in ABU- the best he could do was gather students in Kano during his campaign

Politics is a game of numbers- he just doesn't have that much supporters and cannot the needed number around the country not just Lagos and calabar

He will get it online though 

Fashola/Duke

I have gone to check windows\mstrodlc.dll, google is not coming up with anything about this error, I have read many entries via google pointing to various security systems clashing, could taht be the problem as i have recently installed MSE and Avira some weeks back 

Does anyone know a solution to this error?
Can i delete this[b] c:windows\mstrodlc.dll[/b] as i don't know what it is
unfortunately i have not set up a a back up so I'm avoiding the rebooting option


HELP

_{just to pour some petrol}

Can anyone provide stats to the ethnic make up of the NNPC between 2000-2007 ?

Princek12:
OK, my bad, the rate at which NNPC will become dysfunctional is directly proportional to the percentage of new Northerners who are in top management, so expect that the NNPC will be operating at 86% below normal operating capacity. Does someone have a link to the qualification of the new appointees to top management positions, so we can check whether they are qualified for the position to which they are appointed?

Exactly when the SS was heading the organisation, the NNPC was operating at 100 % jet speed, petrol was everywhere no downtime at all, and if there was it was probably because they hausas were playing politics

afam4eva:
Those cities are mediocre. You can't compare them with cities in America for example.

Ah I now remember you from the new york vs London thread

afam4eva:
At least london should not be way more developed than other cities.

Your definition of developed is tall square building with shiny glass absolutely no character just shiny tall building
don't make a place developed, visit or should i say google cultural heritage site and cities likes cambridge, Bristol, Oxfordshire you will see places with rich history not unsightly tall square buildings

its Don ignorant afam4eva again!! roll drums.  .  .

Its only amatuer travellers that will rush to England and conclud that london is the only developed city in the country! When you consider the average nigerian traveller who want to go to popular places only instead of exploring and spending a bit of money researching places with cultural values you get the picture afam is trying to paint

The typical first time tourist visit popular places they seen on telly or discussed amongst themselves so that when they get back they have some brownie points with the ignorant joneses- when infact they have saved money by cramping themselves with friends and family in little london 
_{Check: why dont african holiday in other african countries}

cheaphost:
I've noticed that England is a one city country. London seems to be by far the most important city in that country. Almost every Nigerian that goes to England lives in London. Infact they tell you they are traveling to London even if it's manchester they are actually going to.

England is not like america where there are loads of mega cities. NYC, LA, Chicago, Houston, Boston, Atlanta, miami etc.

Duhh thats because it is one of the biggest financial city in the world!

Duhh thats because they have access to afro-caribbean communities and as they say safety in numbers

thats very good and they should extend it to states like bauchi and other potentially dangerous states!!
they dont deserve the goodwill!!!

Blooody hell see numbers and abracadabra

I thought they are looking to private this behemoth!!

or they can just get a private Recruitment company to screen out the duds!!

Fhemmmy:
Sad, why?

a college student probably still dependent on his dad or some financial grants wants a car "that will help me prove levels"

Plus insurance on 'fancy' cars with a student is usually higher


Get a Honda, Golf or a Vaxhall Corsa 

VPersie:
Hello,

In am a college student and a  first time car buyer who has been saving up to get a Mercedes Benz C-Class or any other car that will help me prove levels. I was checking the internet the other day and came across some advice that sunk my heart. The dude basically said first-time car buyers should not buy luxury or good-looking cars because of the amount of accidents that are sure to deface the car. He also said stuff about not buying a fast car like Benz and going for cars like Honda that are 'simple' and 'efficient'. Is this true and what are the factors a first-time car buyer should consider in getting a car?

Sad.  .  .

Beaf:
Which kain new story be dat?
Lagos was not mentioned anywhere, neither was any place in SW, it is only places in SE and SS. Witness;

here, plus he is having this meeting in enugu! it makes sense to mention these areas

Shutalim who is the National Secretary of Amalgamated Cattle Dealers Association, announced that all the Northern cattle and food unions would participate in the exercise to draw government attention to the plight of the traders.

Shutalim said, ”If we are transporting cattle and other foodstuffs to the South, some states are blocking us and collecting money from us. If you buy something in Maiduguri and you are bringing it to the South, nobody disturbs you in Yobe, Bauchi, Plateau and Nassarawa. But as soon as you come to Makurdi, you start facing extortion and it extends to Enugu, Anambra, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Akwa-Ibom and Cross River.

”We have been paying it. We have decided not to be paying any longer. That is why we are complaining to the Federal Government to stop them. If the Federal Government didn‘t intervene, we will stop the supply of all types of food from the North to every part of Nigeria. We are going to stop until the officers concerned intervene. We are not going to be paying double taxation in federal highway.”

He said it was worrisome that members of the unions are forced to pay N16,000 tolls to bring their goods into Lagos, but even at that, they were still subjected to various levies before such products are offloaded for sale in the city.

He said that there was no reason why the cattle and food dealers who are Nigerians should be subjected to such taxation and extortion, adding that those demanding levies from them along the highways were taking laws into their hands.

He disclosed that the unions had set up a committee to monitor the strike and ensure that none of their members moved any product from the North to the South until the Federal Government intervenes in the matter.

detopshot:
The reason is simple: from makurdi to cross river, then to the east and west, is where you find the worst roads in nigeria. so probably they tax the drivers to raise some funds for maintenance. if you doubt, travel from cross river to Abuja then notice the change in road network once you enter nasarawa state. who would be happy? Quote me anyhow you want!

Hmm i think most of these taxes they are complaining about are illegal fess collected by policemen and other agberos in Lagos and different parts of the country

Shutalim who is the National Secretary of Amalgamated Cattle Dealers Association, announced that all the Northern cattle and food unions would participate in the exercise to draw government attention to the plight of the traders.

useless thread, when an educated person decide to deliberately skew headlines just for reaction you can tell he/she is more than jobless

funny thing is its not only northern traders experiencing this

Another thing i have problem with is the timing of the threat. Why is it at this time, that there is power struggle between North and south, that the remember the injustice of paying levies in the south, Levies they had been paying for more than 20 years. Then even if they want to issue threats, they are issuing it to the wrong quarters. They should issues threats to the Federal government concerning the bad roads and illegal levies as done by Oil tanker drivers and not to southerners as a whole.

oh please the struggle between south north is only in your head and several people on nairaland, last time i check nobody on the street of Lagos gave two shyte about this internet struggle

when tank driver go on strike, nobody equates it to a political move but when traders who have genuine concerns raise a voice its political

his constituent must be so proud of him. . . .

anybody in here from his state?

so the government of lagos state launched (insert big party) a jobportal for residents but alas no single vacancy on the site


In a bid to be more proactive in dealing with the huge unemployment rates in the city, the Lagos state government launched a job registration website, www.jobcreation.lagosstate.gov.ng, on February 16, 2010. During the launch, Governor Babatunde Fashola said the initiative was aimed at tackling the high unemployment figures in the state.

“The website is another opportunity for youth who are still unemployed to become self-reliant by linking up to the free website for job registration,” said Mr. Fashola, who was represented by his deputy, Sarah Sosan, during the launch of the web portal at the Lagos State Auditorium, Ikeja.

“The new reality is that, this platform will encourage and promote government policy on public-private partnership programme (PPP) and also, serve as reference point for data collections and demographic study for our wealth creation programmes.” Next

Is it that there is no job in Lagos or the government cant be bothered to approach development partners/companies to list their vacant positions there?

[quote author=tpia. link=topic=408001.msg5630269#msg5630269 date=1267750773]i thought it's been proved time and time again that children raised abroad can be just as Nigerian as the ones at home, if their parents want it that way.

The only difference is they (naija kids abroad) have electricity, running water, good roads and well paying blue collar jobs while they're waiting for their big break. Aside from all that, they're regular Nigerians.[/quote]Very true just depends on the parents involved

and I agree with ajalekoko

There are different categories of schools Lagos just some are adding the typical naija 'status' fees to them
and depends on where you live as well- distance to school

the prices some sellers(especially the new ones) quote is just absurd sometimes--weird thing is they can check the the 'going' rate of same specification on this site
but they just go against the grain like there is a lxi,elx,es attached to the name or some other unnecessary button--Pluto enabler- included in the spec

for some there are just too many agents involved

qleyo:
It's a challenge I tell you. Another point I'd add is "once you have doubts over a staff, let them go", "an infection untamed always leads to total decay". We're now selling one of the businesses. It's hard to do business in Nigeria and keep your integrity. I couldn't ever bring myself to ridiculously marking up products and so this (in addition to my staff using my store to sell stolen products) led to the downfall of my business.

Another story for my kids. For now I'll stick to service industry businesses.

wow!!

was just reading your post on the auto section, sorry to hear about the car, Hopefully the police will just prove us wrong for once!! really horrible experience

just saw it on youtube, Very Sad, may his soul rest in peace

knew Pillars were going for the kill!! battle for the Top!!! good thing they didn't play a draw Eyinmba would have been salivating

Warri Wolves Offers Shares To Public
By SportsDay Reporter | 3 March 2010 - 10:15pm FOOTBALL WORLD
Glo Premier League side Warri Wolves is offering shares for sale in a novel bid to professionalise the club for profit making and people acceptability, so says Delta State FA Chairman, Amaju Pinnick, who also oversees the club.
“In order to live the dream of a solid structure, enviable ownership and passionate followership, a deal of partnership is being sought for Warri Wolves Football Club to assert itself in the pedestal of financial autonomy”, he said in a release.
Under the new order for shares allotment which has been broken into five categories of bronze, silver, gold, diamond and platinum, interested parties are expected to pay N10,000 each for 100,000,000 shares available, silver will pay N25,000 each for 200,000, 000 shares available, gold card holders will pay N50,000 each for 250,000,000 shares available, diamond card holder will pay N500,000 each for 250,000,000 available shares, while platinum card holders will N2,000,000 for 60,000,000 available shares.

only in Nigeria, they want to sell shares without showing people the financial statement of the club- thats if they even have any seems everything is done by the governor

the Nigerian business plan is always to keep the customers in the dark, be as secretive as possible

Fhemmmy:
If the election id free and fair that means the zone must represents something for people to keep voting for them.
Democracy is the govt of the people by the people for the people, so if the PEOPLE keep voting for same zone, it means it is the voice of the people and that means people are being heard.
Now tell me what is wrong with that scene

there will still be ' let us taste power' group, democracy is a game of numbers some particular group in nigeria don't know how to play politics on a national level, their support is always limited for some reason
What do you think will happen if they cant produce the president yet again!

[quote author=Akanbi_edu link=topic=407191.msg5627012#msg5627012 date=1267715280]One question. Lets assume there is no rotational presidency, the elections are fair and a zone keeps winning. Will the other zones accept this scenario in Nigeria?[/quote]Wow this is a very powerful question I've always wanted to ask!!!

Jaylon:
I won't say the cabal has won. The demands they made were fairly reasonable IMO.

People, Jonathan has to thread softly because Yar'adua is still
alive and remember he is president in an acting capacity.

I believe the troop buildup around abuja and aso rock (without his knowledge) should
be looked into and if possible, heads should roll. But it cannot be done in a haste.

Jonathan needs to let the unruly northern elements understand that he is not anti-yar'adua and
at the same time, assert himself by putting his foot on the ground. He has already shown he is up
the task by quickly replacing Aondoakaa as AGF.

As someone has stated, too much gra gra is not the solution to this fuming situation.

weak weak weak, your acting president is weak plain and simple! he even gets hassled by mere advisers and wife of the president who don't have constitutional powers!

so who should look into this the same cabals?

like Najatu moh'd said on AIT "he's a Doodo!!" at the age of 50 he is still looking for a godfather!!

why da heck are you allowing him in when his girlfriend is not around or asleep?

Is he the owner of the house or something?

something is really fishy!! don't you have a TV in your room?

[quote author=paddy_lo link=topic=407614.msg5623837#msg5623837 date=1267664381]No i dont agree with u. . .

Lets imagine that yar adua wrote a letter in the first place,and it was torn by turai
then we are now back to were we were supposed to be

that is yar adua on extended leave,and jonathan in charge. .

thats why turai is so jittery,she thought her husband will be removed,instead of just being on leave
she made the whole situation worse by tearing the letter

Now the second thing is that yaradua may have only 1 month to live,so why flog a dead horse.  .
i believe he may actually be moved again to get better treatment

and there will be clamour for a VP for jonathan

so lets wait and see[/quote]dont you just love us nigerians going with the media script?
what letter did turai tear up? was there really a letter?

the media said the PA to the president was the one that got a letter
and up till now there no letter, so what letter?? the guy passed out before
being flown out, so who wrote this letter?

manuch:
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHILE ALL THE AFRICAN REPS TO WORLD CUP ARE PLAYING EUROPEAN OPPOSITION WE ARE PLAYING CONGO. FOR HOW LONG CAN WE CONTINUE TO ALOW NFF TO BE TOYING WITH US. NFF PRESIDENTIAL TASK FORCE ARE ALL ENEMIES OF PROGRESS.

<sub>sorry to burst your (our) collective bubble but we cant afford to host a friendly match and secondly no real team will take us seriously

funny thing is people are complaining about the wages of the new coach yet they want a world class coach- you think they come cheap?</sub>

This friendly is mainly for the home based, or unseen nigerian players

frosbel:
For all those ignoramuses who are telling me that I did not read the article very well, see below a link to the latest news from BBC regarding this and titled 'Nigeria ruling party wants Muslim leader for 2011 poll '


Excerpt : Nigeria's ruling party wants a Muslim from the north as its candidate in next year's presidential election, ruling out acting President Goodluck Jonathan.

Link :  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8548347.stm

you are still an ignoramus for not reading it yet again!! if you notice, the BBC article was done this evening after you posted your ignorant statement, just because it's from the BBC don't mean i should believe it, the BBC is doing exactly what you are doing, giving the content a bit of of colour!!

"The south had the presidency for eight years and it is proper to allow the north to have the presidency for eight years," PDP national chairman Vincent Ogbulafor told reporters after a meeting with officials late on Tuesday.

"[Mr Yar'Adua] is still the president. Goodluck Jonathan is still the acting president. What we discussed has to do with 2011,

the actual quote from the bbc,thisday,etc etc
