Most people are getting this thing mixed up! Nothing, i mean nothing should have stopped them from retracting or apologising in order to set the records straight. If he doesn't like celebrating his birthday that aint any business of mine, knowing the date wont transform Nigeria overnight, but it just shows the kind of president we have, very slow and unresponsive.

i'll be in lagos in October to meet up with an oil firm, they called me for a Manager in Training position due to start in December. I have no idea what manager-in-training means but i'll sure find out on my week long visit in lagos.
While i was visiting naija in March my uncle advised me to move back and he asked for my CV, he forwarded it to his companie's HR dept, a week later they called me and informed me about the position. There's no interview involved because it's kind of a hook up thing, i'm simply meeting with them

Here's the deal: i'm a mechanical engineer in the US, been working for 2 years now and the pay is good. I don't mind moving back but what should i expect from a naija company, i don't want to ask for too much and i don't want to sell myself short. what should i expect as per salary and in benefits?

The UK prime minister, who is to meet Umaru Yar’Adua, the president of Nigeria, in London next week, said he wanted to assist in protecting pipelines and shipping lanes in the Niger Delta.

i know someone who claims to be a xtian but all he does is to go and look babes in church

i don't think RIO is a muslim sha

Dis Guy:
how are we so sure those European players mentioned above are Christians or belong to any particular religion?
A bit like those mentioned in the first post they probably are Muslims by name only

is Rio Ferdinand a christian?

SeanT21:
I am not trying to offend anyone but lets keep it real. I try hard to listen to UK rappers like Dazzie Rascal but this dude is horrible. I also try listening to other British rappers and it left me in dismay.

Anytime i listen to UK rappers it seems like i m listening to Reggae.

If You know any good UK rappers or songs please recommend me.

Again, that idea that people assume when you are put in to do a job, you are expected to do magic, is not held by me and most definitely not all persons.

Is he the problem or something else? If he is removed, are there institutions in place that can credibly midwife the emergence of a candidate of the people?

Kobojunkie:
Just as Appalling. Barely much of a difference if you ask me, and for 8 years, I have to conclude he did terrible work as governor.

Only one who has never been to or seen Lagos prior, or someone who just wants to argue blindly would argue such.
I say you at least ask Lagosians of what the difference is before reaching such a conclusion.


Like I posted earlier, even Hitler gets applause from some in different regions. Does that then make him a good leader?? You fail the answer the main questions.

debosky:
Removing Yar'adua for what reason? Who will take over from him given the messed up political system you have in place?

Is he the problem or something else? If he is removed, are there institutions in place that can credibly midwife the emergence of a candidate of the people?

Some are advocating get him out of office? How exactly is that going to work? Impeachment? How long does the average impeachment take? a year? 2 years? Will the people in the house of reps and co go along with such a plan?

Removing Yar'adua will achieve little or nothing, what needs to be done is to examine the systems that produced him (if he is defective that is) and start the corrections from there. If not, you'll repeat the same mistake again.

You CAN'T logistically swap leaders every 6 months - you need party primaries, conventions, election campaigns, printing of ballot papers, etc - each time wasting huge amounts of money while the economy lies essentially comatose in the intervening period - that will never work.

I'd rather advocate for a single term of 5 years, proper strengthening of anti-corruption agencies to prevent looting as much as possible and genuine reform of the electoral system. A flawed system will most times produce a flawed product.

Sorry to burst your bubble here but I have seen Katsina, and I was appalled. I expected a sight worth writing home about but met with the usual eyesore here and there. The touted Health system was less than what I had read of in some papers praising the man.

The Current Lagos State Governor has done a job 100 times better in 1 year than Yar adua was able to do in Katsina in 8 years. So again, enough with the “PLEDGE to Mediocrity”, can you please start believing you deserve better as a Nigerian??

Blu Malam:
I can swear all the people that say Yar'adua did not perform as governor have not been to kaduna, not to talk of katsina state. Look, if Yar'adua serves for EIGHTY years, he cannot do as much damage that obasanjo did.

This man is so internationally respected (check out the recent G8 summit) and tell me, which past president has ever attempted an electoral reform of an entity that produced him (INEC). C'mon guys, cut Musa some slack.

the girl was almost crying when her guy called her to balst her about not picking his calls!

SENATOR JD:
yeah long overdue
but what about the state of roads leading to the place? what about other bridges and roads nationwide?
a lot needs to be rehabilitated.
well lets see ho far this goes

Wheelspin:
uh uh!!!! my peopul, choose sides oh, I was just reading through with ma kid sister and she's gotten kind of indecisive on what to go for when she opts for tertiary studies.

Please defend one of the courses not both.

What gives u d impression that up 2 5000pipl that schools in the uk wants to work ind oil sector,assumin they all study in the oiland gas sector,and in any case,rate of unemployement in lag and uk is a world apart

iseobio:
the issue is not about having an international airport in enugu or not. The pertinent question is, will the nigerian governemnt allow parallel flights from this enugu airport (assuming it is international) to all destinations in the world as currently operated from lagos, abuja, PH and kano? Enugu may become an international airport with little or no flights or may be flights only from african countries. this is thesame situatiion calabar airport is in. it was given international airport status because of EPZ but I tell you it only has flights from african countries. no flights from outside africa. I think there is a great injustice in the first place considering the population of nigeria. i always get so frustrated when travelling from Lagos Airport because of the crowd. Anytime anm travelling it is a nightmare. EWvery zone should haave an international airport and more where there are a lot of business activities going on.

I think what Enugu requires is not only international status but should be made to handle cargo as well like Kano.

The long term effects of using skin lightening products
Hydroquinone or Mercury applied to the skin will react with ultra violet rays and re-oxidise, leading to more pigmentation and premature ageing. More product is then applied in an attempt to correct the darker blotchy appearance.

These are the beginnings of a vicious cycle. By altering the skins natural structure and inhibiting the production of Melanin, it’s natural protection, the skin is more susceptible to skin cancer.

Prolonged use of Hydroquinone will thicken collegen fibres damaging the connective tissues. The result is rough blotchy skin leaving it with a spotty cavier appearance.

Mercury will slowly accumulate within the skin cells striping the skin of it’s natural pigment leaving behind the tell tale signs of gray/ blue pigmentation in the folds of the skin. In the long term the chemical will damage vital organs and lead to liver and kidney failure and mercury poisoning.
