Obudu and Calabar keeps popping up when tourism/vacation spots are mention in nigeria

But there are no detailed costs to go with it especially for those coming from other parts of the country-Lagos, Abuja
very little information about vacation spots seems like they are deliberately targeting foreigners and private firms due to cost

Hotel prices

6, Bishop Oyedepo engages in occultic practices with all that mantle,oil,handkerchiefs etc, i tore his books to shred,
Na wa where are those nairalanders shouting 'touch not my appointed or is it anointed'? come tell this pastor O!


church service on sunday, special meeting on monday and tuesday, bible study on wednesday, night vigil on friday and house fellowship on saturday, when are you going to live the life you are being taught?, that is the sign of apostacy it also shows that your leaders are only interested in the gospel of wealth!,
exactly their loudspeaker ang gyration is too much, im sure this leads to marriage failure as well, instead of working, looking after the family and resting some people are under pressure by DADDY(s) to organise this or that 24/7

SapeleGuy:
Tippy top - God bless you.

Just because it was done before doesn't make it right or mean we must continue with 'rascality and recklessness'.
CBN has a monopoly in their sector, they do not need to be sponsoring a golf tournament?
How do CBN or Nigeria gain from such an enterprise?

There are clearly several more deserving causes across the country that CBN could channel this money, water projects and desert reclamation projects spring to mind.
Bros, you know talk this one when Prof Soludo was in charge na, especially with land erosion and security problems here and there

Or are you basically saying Soludo promoted 'rascality and recklesness'??

@ This Guy,

I'm from Imo. I will do my best to manage what I ve got during my brief stay.
I know it's going to be tough though.
My intention at the interim is not to please anyone.
In time, if things appreciate, we can make ammends.


@Paroh_frey,

Thanks for your priceless advice. I wouldn't spend £800 just like that whilst here in the UK.
As I said earlier, it's been almost 5 yrs.

As per the gifts, I already bought and sent them by air freight. It cost  me a fortune (£200) to send 40 kg of luggage to nigeria. I found that astronomical. About the stuff I will carry with my when I'm travelling, I will seriously consider POUNDLAND as you suggested.
my mum did the say thing last week, paid £150; still carried 2 overload and her hand luggage which was stolen at the airport!!!

Just enjoy your stay and remind them you are a student not the Queens accountant!

If you dash someone 200k they'll stone you with it!!
You think we Nigerians are that hungry? just joking!


The money will run out before you know it, there are so many things you'll pay
for you wont really be able to account for your expenses
Best advice is don't try to please everyone!!
Dont dash everyone money
Your holiday is about YOU and Your family
Remember it's XMAS and new year they'll be many people around

You might want to get an injunction until the compensation matter is resolved, make sure you get a surveyor or estate agent to value the property and add some millions for emotional inconveniences, cultural connection to teh land etc etc
Properties › Re: What Is D Criteria 4 House Demolition? by DisGuy: 10:48am On Nov 21, 2009
I think there's something called compulsory purchase order by most government that usually comes with compensation-value of the property, cost of moving and legal cost


You can discus compensation with them or ask their agent about relocation plans at least
You can speak to a lawyer to act on your behalf (and others in the same situation)



All this na oyinbo sha, hope the govt of Anambra will be kind enough to work something out

Goodluck
Travel › Re: The American Way by DisGuy(mod): 10:38am On Nov 21, 2009
I felt good,because I made sure my friend did not miss Nigeria too much. To me then,the Nigeria I had in mind was utopia - a perfect home full of nostalgia for every traveler; a place one should yearn to return to after a few days or weeks of vacation; a beautiful motherland whose badge one should wear the way a hunchback wears his uke.

On our way home from church that day, my friend asked me "Victor, when am I going to see America?" I did not quite get his question first, so I went - huh? And he replied with serious anger in his eyes - "I say when I go see America na, if I wanted to eat Nigerian food and go to Nigerian party and church I would have remained in Lagos because we have them boku." I took a deep breath and let out a pained laugh. I apologised. I had mistaken him for my other friends that visit from interior America, remote areas where Nigerians are not many and kparakpor is low.

That night we went to Washington DC. We ate fat juicy, greasy burgers from McDonalds and drank Budweiser all night. I made sure he paid for his food and drink. Before he went shopping at the mall, I gave him a new copy of Yellow Pages and a DC Map so he wouldn't get lost.On the day he was to return to Nigeria, I called a cab to take him to the airport, because that is the American way.

Travel › Re: The American Way by DisGuy(mod): 10:37am On Nov 21, 2009
The following day was Saturday. There was a Nigerian wedding around the neigbourhood. Excitiedly I told my friend he wouldn't miss Nigeria during his short stay in America. He smiled and followed me to the party. Again, there was all kinds of Nigerian food. Amala and efuo riro was on the menu. Cow legs the size of Julius Berger earth-moving equipment were served in large trays. Souvenirs went round and we sprayed dollars on the celebrants. Adewale Ayuba, the original Mr. Johnson, played good music that evening and Nigerian women danced like koso with gele resting at the tip of their well powdered foreheads. Asoebi brightly coloured the party and non-Nigerian friends envied our cultural heritage. By the time we left for home, we were quite full but the weather was cold, a reminder that the party might look and feel like a proper Lagos one, but this is America.

On Sunday morning, I woke my friend up at 8am to get ready for Bethel Fellowship Church. A church that is 99.9 percent Nigerian, except for a Ghanaian and Sierra Leonean family - whom we converted to Nigerians and allowed God to take care of the Christianity. The opening prayers rattled the earth the church was built on and the praise and worship rendered in Nigeria's three major languages including pidgin English would shame a King Sunny Ade concert any day, anytime.

By the time we sat down, my friend had shaken off the devil and evil spirit that may have followed him from Africa and he was sweating as if he just climbed Akpongbon Bridge with a bag of rice on his head. After the service, everybody greeted him and shook hands with him and hugged him. Discussants lingered at the church compound while photographers took pictures of families in every corner. The weather was nice.
Travel › The American Way by DisGuy(mod): 10:36am On Nov 21, 2009
By Victor Ehikhamenor

A friend once came from Nigeria to visit me in America and I mistreated him. Unknowingly.

Upon his arrival, I went to Iroko Market, the local African market where everything from ugba to ube can be found - but in a frozenly lamentable state. I bought every kind of ingredient and condiment that usually causes a go-slow in any good Nigerian egusi soup. Before I left the market (it is a super market, not anything close to Balogun Market) I went to the back and heaved a bag of Iyan (powdered pounded yam) on my shoulder and grabbed some bottled palmwine. Why? Because I wanted to give my friend a taste of Nigeria in America. We Nigerians don't travel light; we take our baggage wherever we go - including a heavy and debilitating culture of good hospitality, which I call African Hospitality on American Express.

We discussed everything from Nigerian politics to good old times, when he was the first person that bought my art works in Lagos in the early 90s. By the time the jetlag was dropping to his jaw, the pounded yam was ready. The egusi was fully covered with brokoto, bush meat, pomo, periwinkles, shaaky, fried fish, dried fish, bonga fish, okporoko - in fact, the soup was assaulted by assorted meat. My friend ate really well and drank some of the palmwine which he said tasted like badly mixed alabokun.

That was not a problem, I went to the fridge and brought a criminally cold six-pack small stout, aka Guinness. He beamed a smile and by the time the evening sun tipped off the sky, my friend was asleep.

Isnt it ironic that the CBN Governors Cup (not IBB cup, but hosted at IBB Golf course) has been running since Soludo's tenure, but now it suddenly seems right to stick it on Sanusi.

These journalists are really scraping the bottom of the barrell.

Politics › Re: Cabals In Nigeria: Real Or Imagined by DisGuy: 11:14pm On Nov 20, 2009
those calling for the CABALS should look in the mirror!!

GNBohr:
Federal Government has been recently alluding to the fact that certain cabals or cartels exist in Nigeria that undermine its policies and actvities when defending need for deregulation in the oil sector and problems being faced in the fight against corruption. D[b]avid Mark, Senate President made a call to security agents in the country to put a check on the activities of cabals in the country.[/b] But the public felt otherwise, many claimed that there is no such thing as cabal or cartel in Nigeria so long the government can not identify them or expose them by mentioning their names. Comparison are made with what obtains in Colombia, with the drug cartels whose various leaders and camps are publicly identified and named or in Italy where the heads of the various mafia groups are idetifiable and publicly known. In the absence of any known name or identity, do you really think there is a cabal or cartel in Nigeria. At least, when militancy started in the Niger Delta, identities and names of their leaders are known. Why cant same be done with these so called cabals or cartels?
can just imagine the guy giggling on the inside after saying this!!

they talk as if oil-bunkers are invincible and those that have been arrested have never been charged to court or
successfully prosecuted except the little pipeline tappers in urban areas!

Even if you have anything against your fellow posters, you just dont come out and transfer the aggression to the board. I feel uncomfortable reading from you guys. what i see often are words like: scammers, thief, get lost, bastard, you will rot in hell etc. This shouldnt be!
If you need to accuse or criticise, do it constructively. what you guys have been writing does not speak well of you.
you guys are future leaders and you need to learn what it takes to stay at the top. you can be at the top and lack discretion.
Please, for God sake, leave every poster alone and mind your business. All users here should be wise enough to know how to deal with others.
MODERATOR, take note of this please.
If there are no changes, i might be forced to visit nairaland house and ask these persons to be removed indefinitely

Your advice has been noted and abuses or criticism that goes overboard will be deleted

He said a cabal within the oil industry was doing everything to frustrate the operation of the refineries, adding that the sum of $7.5 million was spent on Kaduna Refinery, which was still not functioning. He declared that the only solution was deregulation of the industry.

"The ministry has not said anything about deregulation. The refineries are still not working. The sum of $7.5 million was spent on Kaduna Refinery and it is still not working. We have a cabal that is making the refineries not to work. The only solution is deregulation.


John Halims Agoda (Delta State) said government should be serious about the policy. Some infrastructure should be put in place to cushion the effects on the citizens.

"Government must show seriousness. Instead of providing alternatives, they engage in a show of shame. The issue of fuel is critical in our national life. Before deregulation, the transport sector must be fixed. Government should be capable of ensuring that the policy does not affect Nigerians negatively. The government should also look at the salaries of Nigerians because deregulation will result in increase in prices of many things. This time calls for constant engagement between the National Assembly and the Executive", he said.

Aro Bamidele (Kogi State); and Vice Chairman of Committee on Petroleum (Downstream) disclosed that between 2006 and 2009, the government spent N1.458 trillion on fuel subsidy. He said the way out of the problem was deregulation.

"The NNPC must ensure that necessary things are done. We should be able to explain to Nigerians what deregulation is. I agree that the NNPC has to follow due process. PMS costs about N107. The difference between N107 and N65 is the subsidy that government pays. Government has spent N1.458 trillion on subsidy between 2006 and 2009.
notice how this journo keeps repeating everything said/disclosed instead of using their words in quote within the same sentence

After telling us what the rep/senators say he then go on to explain it
