Obama is a small boy, McCain tells Elder

Which election? you call that an election?-McCain

Civil right Veterans Congratulates Obama, relocates HQ to Washington

This is a charade!!! No allowance for election monitors-NGO

Electronic votes cancelled!-No gas for power station

spikedcylinder:
The origin of this fight and the fight itself is useless.

I saw the video and the original poster was "crying" when she viewed the trailer of some documentary. A documentary about homeless African orphans. Where did Nigeria come in again? How did she attack Nigeria? Abi did I click on a wrong video ni?

exactly, I think posters should stop carrying 'fights' from other threads/board into new threads

make una chill o,

at least commend the guy for seeing 'it' since JUNE

mallammusa who is your juju man?

what is or who is (an) anti-Christ?

You might want to write a column for a local newspaper or even have your own weekly newsletter that can be distributed to universities secondary schools, clinics/health centres business centres and other places where literate and semi-literate people gather.

you might also want to organise free seminars where you will discuss case studies about national and international leaders who have achieved something and how they went about it- you main focus will be the their background and character

or just get them a TV to see what a they are missing out on by voting rogues-show them regions of the world with little or no resources having modern and accessible healthcare, qualitative education, modern farming techniques and entreprenuership made possible by competent leadership with verifiable background- wean them away from sanu da aiki alhaji mentality where they are always waiting on the Emir for instructions/donations

Nobody likes immigrants. Remember what was happening in South Africa not a long time ago? The British are very kind compared to SA 

UK is a popular destination because it is relatively easy to get there. I know people have all sorts of visa problems, but believe me, getting into most European countries or the US (legally) is harder.  And it is an English-speaking country and it is a popular language, most people prefer to go to a country which language they know. It is very hard to live in a place where you do not know the local language, I experienced that.

Poles and other Eastern Europeans do not go there in such numbers because they love UK. It is because UK and Ireland were the first to open the job market for them (that is they do not need any visas or permissions to work there). All European Union countries must allow this for new EU members within a few years, but most of them want to do it as late as they can. So again, they went there because it was the country that was most open to receiving them and allowing them more than other Western European countries.

Ironically, even Nigerians chased their neighbours-Ghanaian- of the same colour/race out of the country
having been accused of a spate of robberies, talking with a funny accent, stealing jobs and even playing footsie
with some wives
_{- in fact i heard some were even accused of being excessively dark skinned!}

thats where the Ghana Must Go Bag was coined

nigerian hypocrisy no get part deux!

na wa o why is Glite so obsessed about the UK

KarmaMod:
well you could all hope that Prince William would marry a black female, the queen dies and finally a black chick in Buckingham.

Then you guys can be cool like us

having a black chick marry a whitey is not exactly cool and definitely not something to be proud of seeing as she going in through 'bottom power' and not hard work so thanks but no thanks '[i]we' dont wanna be cool like t[/i]hat!!

_{seems like someone deleted this thread}

what's is happening with the share-buy back scheme/law
this is probably the best time the companies can buy back their shares

IBEXY:
Your ignorance knows no bounds.


Oh yes Gamine is right. Even the British agree that Blair sheepishly followed his friend, Bush into Iraq to gain favours with USA. The 51st state whether you like it or not is UK. Obama therefore wields a large influence over the UK's foreign and domestic policies (and on other countries too).

that was then or should I say at that point in time when over 3000 people died, it is a bit difficult not
to sympathise of 'stand shoulder to shoulder' with a grieving brethren but not any more!

samix:
To be candid with you, Obama won the election because majority of the americans crave for change.
Do you know that cameron of the tories said this is not time for a novice? Who was he referring to? Obama of course.[/b]If UK was a determinant factor in the election, they would have preferred mccain.

[b]Election in UK is far boring compared to US. Gordon Brown just does not have a choice and [b]that the british system.[/b]Do you think tony blair really liked w. bush? if u think so then juz get the autobiography of cherie blair u will get to understand the british government

Gordon Brown made the statement-considering the state of the global economy- at the labour convention refering to David cameron
remember he was the exchequer* for about 10years

UK is different from the US no razzmatazz no wasteful spendings with these highly cynicals citizens,
like you rightly mentioned the british system _{not the american system} no copycat plain old traditions

Gamine:
Its not only in Nigeria you have Father of the day n co.

never heard it anywhere else!


gainfully employed- employed, working

wannabe big gal probably a tv adict= ma man has to be tall, [b]dark and handsome [/b] uhm you're in naija!

turkey and coco- _{i swear i didnt make it up!!}

Thank you very much carmelily, your post have been very insightful,
i guess what i was harping on about was mainly about the reality in nigeria
i dont know his background-family support, age and finances so i guess my advice
was about getting ROI asap and developing as he went along; when you consider
social science graduates, language graduates etc working in the banks/telecoms then studying for
second degree part-time or going off to further their education after gaining experience
and saving money you'll understand why i was abit skeptical about going for unpopular courses
that are not yet fully appreciated by big employers in the country.

_{those suggestions were from prospectus.ac.uk}

tpia:
Would having a black immigrant at 10 Downing street be just for sentimental reasons (ie to prove we blacks can rule Britain as well as the whites can), or to what purpose exactly? The black is expected to perform a miracle that the whites cannot?

Nah just a feel good factor, and perharps an excuse to have a national holiday back home


i mean ethnic minorities are less than 8% of the population and about 80% of ethnic minorities
live in just bout 3 cities on the tiny island how can they can represent the overwhelming majority?
it's not even like ethnic minorities (and white majority) are interested in politics anyway!!!

Lets send the video clips to all the TV houses in Lagos, Abuja and other parts of Nigeria including the NTA. NTA might not air it and a few other fearful media houses might not want to show it but some bold and anti-PDP stations like Channels and AIT maybe willing to show it.

are you serious, which tv station in nigeria is anti-pdp or govt, even if they are they will never show these things
I mean it happens almost everyday, if you notice it is only the PUNCH newspaper thats been following the news
_{Ait can't be anti-pdp it partly owned by many of them including odili}

i watch nta/ait today nothing!!!

The victim later told our correspondent on her hospital bed on the telephone that she was heading towards Mile 2 from the Lagos Island where she worked when the incident happened.

Okere, who claimed that she had a military background, said immediately she saw Arogundade’s convoy, she knew that a Rear Admiral was inside the car and she quickly gave way.

She said, ”We were all in the traffic. I heard a siren behind me. One of them came out to control the traffic. I was moving to the left when he suddenly pulled me out. They dragged me into the house tore my clothes. I was beaten up mercilessly. My head is really swollen with bruises all over me.”

She added that she managed to get her colleagues to call her father who works in Abuja to speak with the Rear Admiral on phone.

”My father spoke with the man on the phone later but he lied to him (her father) that I was fighting with his men. They would have beaten the two other ladies in my car like they did to my male colleagues if not for the fact that they are pregnant,” she added.

Okere said she had contacted a human rights lawyer who advised her not to report to any police station since the case involved a senior officer.

i hope the father is thinking of cold bloodied revenge on the rogues family!!

Bassey told Sunday Sun in the party office along Ekpo Obot Street, Uyo, that her major opponent in the contest, also a woman, not only masterminded her kidnap, but organized two men who took their turns to rape her.

very sad.   .   .

Ironically, the two candidates said they never reported the matter to the police as at the time of narrating it to Sunday Sun. But they insisted that the election was not free and fair, as such should be cancelled.

a bit dumb!

more worrying-- Women as an avenue for making money

Can Nigerians put a Nigerian in Aso Rock?

Why do you think so?
What i think is that the people got bored as they are obviously not used to the
money,time and coverage involved in this election or
should i say the american election as usual
it was like forever!!! elections in the UK are usually short compared to
the american election, the debates blah blah and to be honest the
british media made a meal of it, if anything they supported Obama all the way!!
Even Gordon Brown made a slip when he wrote about Obama's progressive ideas. . .

does obama write his speech himself?
who write his speeches?

maybe, maybe not

perhaps our law makers will appreciate and learn about the election process
how exciting and inspiring it has been, the efforts and system of selecting candidates
by party nominations and country-wide campaigns and even the media will probably
be more responsive, digging information and asking the right questions on behalf of the
people

wow came earlier than expected!!

An African-American president

very inspirational!

JJYOU:
nigerians generally don't like paying for anything and take advantage of someone's goodness
what would be a prevailing rate to you dear sir? we give 24hrs electricity in some of our houses and you get some tenants talking about not having money to pay. yet they have money for food and petrol

my advice is if you can give your property to agents and don't get personal with tenants

i don't know to much about the rent aswell but its obvious
you don't expect people to pay more than 'the neigbhourhood' average
in an area where 3bed flat is going for say 250 p.a, you'll probably have your
house in the market forever if you charge something like 500k p.a except you get some
desperate oil money miss road. seeing as they'll be experience about the same level of
traffic,security threat, access to amenities etc

_{24hr electricity should be standard anyway}

[quote author=r_o_b_b_y link=topic=38887.msg3037894#msg3037894 date=1225830037]Those defending london. Good for you.

SeanT21:
The americans that are trying to Live in the UK see England from a Movie Point of view. They Think its some romantic land where there is no crime blah blah blah. I know Immigrants have always left the Uk but Now they are leaving in BIG numbers.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-477006/196-000-574-000-Record-numbers-leaving-Britain-new-life-abroad--immigration-UK-soars.html

more proof americans are as dumb as ever!!

_{da same americans shooting mexican immigrants over the border!}

bawomolo:
we can't defeat MEND and you expect us to take on these rebels who sent the congelese army and UN forces into retreat. col.haruna no dey fight o

hmm who told you we can't defeat MEND, we need the price of oil to stay at above $100
if theres no problem in that region production will be at 2.8m easily by now

_{on the other hand, the nigerian army will have to wipe out some states or villages to achieve
this, moreso some people high up are benefitting from all these did u see how the elders
quietly resumed their committee duties}

seven days over this goma region with fighter jets, the nigerian airforce should be able to wipe them off
about the same time for the darfur region aswell-those supporter of APC are on horses and camels arent they?

the part i dont get is she reported you lmaoooooooooo

what happened to the airport cabs?
you can pay for that when she gets home!


so Baby Jinx, who do you report Uncle Jinx to if he doesnt finish the meal you made for him

you cant buy their cream

ikeyman00:
nonesnse

this goes to show u how decay nigeria is?
[b]by this time, nigeria should be medium super power, that will crush any imbeciles that wana start some $hit in africa.[/b]blame nigeria! cry africa

true especially in times like these, when instead of waiting for the international community
to arrange combat forces, we send ecomog/au force who are mainly nigerians anyway!
this is the time we should be pushing our weight around, threatening Rebel leaders and
neighbouring government for supporting them

It's almost as if every african leader especially the bigger ones have some huge skeleton
in their cupboard preventing them from speaking out, and africa meadia dont help too
even though they are private they still act like they are owned by the government focussing
on trivia issues or government press releases!

the army in a democratic dispensation should be made busy instead of groming their
big belly in the barracks, this is the time they should be earning us brownie point on the
international stage

3-8 fighter jets to crush those rebels
2 hurcules full of dangote grains for the displaced
some nigerian graduate volunteers for the injured and building new communities
some brownie point from AU/UN and a seat on the security council!!!!!!

she's got problem, very serious one, its unfortunate she cant
come out to say what her problems are- you just never know
what hav the health section in here with good doctors on nairaland

what is it, you are trying to tell us with your posts woman?
