with all the above vituperations and passionately renders elizabethan discourses, noone has actually been able to conjure a set of reasons why people say the country is an anomaly - all the reasons postulated are reasons that are not myopically connoted to the country alone - same things abide in all other conglomerations called nations - from the developed to the undeveloped nations - these things are applauded, take China for example - is the human right abuse in Nigeria as gigiantic as it is in China? Is the yuletide of crime and apocalypse of murder in South Africa not worse than it is in Nigeria? Is ethnic rigmarole and economic conodrums not worse in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Egypt etc than it is in Nigeria? Is corruption not the same globally as it is in a federated entity like it is Nigeria - so - I still havent seen - what is uniquely a mis adventure for a country like ours - it shows visually that the condomium of problematic dexterity is in the way the people themselves has find it to reason - a reason that algeraically summarises to lack of patriotic zeal and lack of passionate patriotism in the part of the citizens - worse for it are those who have found themselves out of the entity.

We all need a gigiantic overturn of our medula oblongata in a way that will bring a parallel recourse to egotism and remove every iota of obtuse hatred and return it to a condrum of applaudable patriotism - Nigeria is not yet uhuru - but I am certain that the way to uhuru is not paved with gold, it is a miniature of the biblical camel passing through the highway of the needle eye - we just have to concur to a change of patriotic aggradisement in a way that will bring political forwardness and economic upwardness.

Reacting further, I summise that the maximal conflic and attitudinal egotism protrudes from those Nigerians that have found themselves out to other nations like America/Europe - these set of people out of their lampoonable parameters, resort to comparing Nigerian with these developed nations, they paste their thinking faculty with facades of good life, facades that block their mentality and they in adequately try to assuge everyone of the need for Nigeria to be in parallel algorithm with Nigeria - they forget with utmost recluse that Nigeria and these countries are not in the same league - they blind themselves with inimical obrobrium. They should be made to meticulously renege on their hell bent threat to undermine our loving country - it is a shame.

DO NOT BUY. BE WARNED.

how?

I tried if during the weekend and it works, the transaction code was sent immediately
if you get yours late you should go back to your account,click on transfer
under transfer, I think you click on pending transfers
you enter your transaction code then click apply/ok

the transaction code has a time limit by the way usually over 24hrs or 48hrs

Ibrahym:
Wots wrong with u guys!

there is a difference between
- football analyst and
- football information presenter and/or provider

Of course, u should also have good information on history at times for scenario analysis, etc, but how much of in depth game analysis do u do and understand, don't u watch football analysts in Europe


I think Mike Maiyaki is right there at the top!!!

I agree with you, don't know if its the show(ait sports how) I watch but spiff ogbama(sp) and mitchel obi are basically presenters and they laugh too much!!!!

jaguda:
Mc Omo, u lie, your statistics do not correlate. The question is name one Christain Governor of Lagos State, aside Otedola? forget LGAs, State House of Assembly and the little irritants down the ladder, show us one Christain Governor? The same trick Kaduna State plays time after time, get a a great one Governor and a Christain Deputy and everything is alrite.

Or u want to tell me there were no credible christain candidates?

Are you saying 'they' put him there? you mean he didn't win the vote of the people?

perhaps if we concentrate on real things then we will get the job done faster, looking for religious trends of a state is a total waste of time


three or four credible candidates ran for election one of them who happens to be a mus.lim won whats he big deal?

most people that want international careers don't even have a local club, approach your local club sides

you can join us at NAIRALAND FC ,we are currently looking for a Defensive midfield

amaechi is not doing anything verifiable in PH, where is otoks the PH guy

I have listed those I think and know they are actually doing things, the way they are doing things or perceived as individuals doesn't matter but they are actually getting results

Amaechi seems to be leaving the security matter of the state to the FG, same way orji kalu said he is not responsible for the waste dump in his own state

marosky:
The NFA once again proved to the world that it is a house that lacks sense of direction,by re-appointing Ladan Bosso as coach of the Flying Eagles after the man disgraced himself and Nigeria at the last Under-20 World Cup (Canada 2007).Instead of giving young and sound people the privilege to develop our football, they are after their selfish interests.We have Oliseh,Amunike and a few other young coaches that can perform better.

an who told you Oliseh, and amunike would settle for under-20? Oliseh was interviewed for the super eagles why do you think he will take the smaller one?
which clubs are they coaching at the moment?

people always complain, we want foreign coach you got one, he didn't do jack
then we want local coach now they put amudu, then they are murmuring erm erm he is not good enough

let ALL of them that claim to be good stop waiting for government job! they should go and coach private clubs or clubs in other African countries!

just one weeks wage is enough to pay for a personal accountant/financial guru or whatyoucall them?

i wonder why their agent if they have any don't help them

guess the move to UAE is near

by the restraint of a man being forcibly deported.
Many were distressed by his pitiful cries of “I go die” and one passenger

isnt that distressing?? what do you do when you are on a plane with someone crying i go die? you laugh at him cause he's been deported or perhaps faking it or you actually say something?

Well, thousands of people get deported each year and they use regular flights to deal with such things. I mean we the tax payers are ok with the way it is being done now as it saves us money. I mean if Nigerians are willing to pay for private planes then sure, they would use em. The Pilot has every right to usher people causing commotion on his plane off. I don't know if you have ever taken a bus before but it does happen even on buses and trains. If people are causing commotion, usually the best thing is to get them off, allow them to cool down and THEN get them back on when you have everything under control. It is routine.

£11,000 per person is not exactly cost effective! they should get a plane fill it up with deportees only, if possible go en route dropping people on the same continent, not distressing fee-paying passengers on a regular flight!
I'm sure many of the people on that flight were tax payers too!!
after paying tax and ticket fares you just want them to shut up because their country cant provide anything better?

xheggs:
I'm kindaa conusd bout this tattoo thing.
Some people say its demonic & some say its not.
I think tattoos are pretty cool but permanent tattoos definitely involves your blood(which signifies a covenant).
This type of covenant is way out of it.
Watcha all think__?

what about getting abere (injection)? is that a covenant too?

no i have never been on a plane with a deportee, i hope i never am!

by the restraint of a man being [size=14pt]forcibly[/size] deported.
Many were distressed by his pitiful cries of “I go die” and one passenger

that's enough to make anyone distressed and agitated!!!!!!!!! I'll even ask to come down from the plane!!!!

why don't they get a separate plane to deport people or ask their respective govt to come and pick them up anyway?

Amid riotous scenes in the aisles, 20 police officers boarded to calm everything down.

you see they did the right thing at first until the tipsy pilot boot everyone off!

Then the BA pilot took the extraordinary decision to boot off everyone who had witnessed the arrest of Mr Omotade, an IT consultant from Chatham, Kent.

so basically people are guilty for not telling the IT guy to shut up or for just being there?

brushparke:
I wonder what you guys need to understand that this is a quest in futility. Just like the last poster said, the banks are bot ready to do anything. They keep calling themselves world class yet their services are contrary to what they claim to be. It is not just by the size of your balance sheet.
If they were worth what they claim, they should know that it is even an insult for their cards to be rejected and Mastercards does nothing about it.
If we can not use them to make purchases online, then what are these cards for?

I was charged $30 for subscription and card fees, no hard feelings but it is dissappointing that i have not been able to use the card for any internet purchase (not transactions).

they even collect money lol no wonder they no get shame!!

yomidoggy:
I have a GTBank Mastercard which i obtained about a month ago. I was charged $30 for subscription and card fees, no hard feelings but it is dissappointing that i have not been able to use the card for any internet purchase (not transactions).

I strongly agree that the problem is not the banks issuing the cards, but the merchants accepting the cards as a means of payment based on our country of residence that is known for crime and fraud. There are European countries worse than Nigeria in fraud and crime, yet, they do successful internet transactions with credit cards, may be is due to the volume of "legitimate transactions" that they do or some other reasons.

Sites like Ebay and Timberland, once you select NIGERIA, the next message is that credit cards are not accepted as a means of payment from this country.

why does this happen and for how long will it continue to happen?

true could be the trend of legitimate business or those countries have their postal residential address verifiable by the local govt that is stored properly its not exactly easy or cheap to send goods to nigeria

or perhaps those EU countries have some sort of agreement concerning business/customer dispute and refund policies they honour

how can yo uask me for evidence when im not even on the plane?

what sort of evidence exactly do you want?

why do people boycott business?
if all those people were Americans and they called fellow Americans or friends to boycott same thing!!
what exactly is wrong with Nigerians doing the same, the people on the flight were Nigerians, who should he tell
Japanese?

by the way I'm not saying they are deliberately targeting Nigerians, I'm saying they've got poor customer service especially naija-to uk route (because that's the one I know of/care about and can speak of!)

and where is the evidence that over 130 people had to be booted off the plane for being noisy?

the fact that many Nigerians have been complaining about this is enough to call for a boycott!!

some people on here are saying 'oh I know how Nigerians behave', so?? does that mean we should accept being maltreated just because we are not as stiff as the British? or perhaps because we don't have our plane or better service mean we should put up with anything, heck they paid for the service like others do they should get the same treatment


BA/police will obvious say anything to justify their actions

lucabrasi:
dude im sure you r educated,if i said his achievements was holding stakeholders meeting on ait,does it mean he was on tv shouting stakeholders stakeholders or dancing makosa or yahoozeee for the stakeholders??stakeholders in a state are not fools and there are bound to be some who will have divergent views and so for him to have the whole of stakeholders in his state come together in a public forum shown on live tv to render his stewardship means he has something to say, while he was talking in one of the programmes there were people that argued with him,some disagreed and some said their mind out and he answered questions they asked when he threw the floor open for questions, i don't live in his office or living room so i only go by what is shown on tv,lets stop being pessimistic and acknowledge them if they have done any positive,we all know they are corrupt but knocking everything they do and saying they can never do good is not the way foward,please lets face the post,which of the governors will you score high?thats my views and you are free to agree or disagree or post yours not sniggering at mine

iwatched the same 'stakeholders forum' for about 30seconds as well it was painful

If you think yaradua has no clue then listen to Amaechi

I don't equate a Nigerian issue to racism!!! this is pure customer service issue and perhaps cultural issue
customers are different I don't expect them to serve pork on a plane going to saudi arabia just because thats their law, i bet there'll be many people boycotting them or shouting as much as we seem to be doing!!

Kobojunkie:
Here is the point I am trying to make here. If a Nigerian is beaten outside of nigeria, instead of RUSHING to make it about Nigeria, first deal with it as a case against another, say Illegal immigrant or a person but not a NIGERIAN issue. Cause when you jump to add the nationality tag or the RACE tag to it, you have to have some sort of SOLID proof of such before you go ahead with it, and at the same time. In this particular case, the law is against anyone interferring in the way that this dude did. He could have been arrested and had the books thrown at him big time. People now trying to make it a NIGERIA issue are not making it better. You could try to report it as a case of his rights being violated but when you bring up the HIS RIGHTS AS A NIGERIAN argument then you RUIN it cause the world knows Nigerians practically have no rights in their own COUNTRY and that actually is shameful.

I think the main reason why they didn't was because there was nothing there in the first place so no book throwing!
people making it a nigerian issue are probably doing so because it is getting a bit frequent isn't it, you might not have experienced it but many frequent travellers have and what about the others on the plane?

i still don't get this part

you RUIN it cause the world knows Nigerians practically have no rights in their own COUNTRY and that actually is shameful.

so because people have no rights in their country they have to be treated differently in other countries?
he(they) is a customer like everyone else they all have a right! Nigerian or not, its not like a judge will look
for cases related to nigerians? the laws of where ever they are should apply!

im still trying to understand why someone is talking about Nigerian airways in this?


if a Nigerian is beaten by American police, why should anyone say ' hey nnaija police beat people everyday so maybe you should deal with that first?

[quote author=~Lady~ link=topic=127213.msg2150680#msg2150680 date=1208144045]I beg to differ. There are as much corrupt policemen in the US as there is in Nigeria. The journalists also get paid off too. If you don't have enough to pay they will leak your secret. Yes there are the notable ones, but what happens in Nigeria, happens here, it just doesn't make the news. Simply put, they know how to hide their yansh and we don't.

Police kill people here too o. Even those boot camps that they have to help the young ones kill the young ones.

I will say the infrastructure as Bawomolo said, things are still bad in America, but it is not to the extent as Nigeria.
There's corruption in America and all other bad things. [size=14pt]But it may not occur as frquently[/size] as in Nigeria or it may not be reported as in Nigeria.
Nigeria is also under a telescope at the moment [i]because our economy is risin[/i]g, so anything that happens will be brought to light, while America is more tested, and not under a telescope.[/quote]Just can't agree with you but I still l wont flog it. its not all glittery like gold but the comparison is just not there fair enough nigeria is a young country- _{yea right} but still we are behind we shouldn't even be comparing it with US, we should be comparing it with Ghana, Egypt, south Africa or countries that gained independence around the same time and with pure stats too that's if we even have records, how many people get shot in a political rally and the police wont even get the killer? How many people take a knife into the house of parliament (they still didn't charge anyone for this)


i don't think nigeria is under any telescope per se because our economy is growing, some economies in Africa is better than ours! we are under a telescope because we are soooo behind even with our 'resources' that is it becoming disturbing- the talk about Nigeria having so much potential has been going on since 1950!!

your guy wooed her with his phone now she went higher

like they say owo ju owo lo

Arnold1:
What about the source of power ? How are they going to power the Light rail system ?

I think they are proposing or already sourcing for funds for ' lagos energy city' to provide 130mw and if yaradua delivers the 11,000mw in 2011 it might just fall in place

I hope they do the overhead light rail

angeleses:
Nigeria is bad - Nigeria is bad - thats all Ihear or read on this forum - okay - which country is not as bad?

What yardstick against other countries have been used to say Nigeria is such a bad state that even noone wants to see anything good in the country?

In South Africa - gang culture, armed robbery, killing is the other of the day, same in America - same in Europe - so what is it about Nigeria that even the citizens don't see anything good in the country?

Is it corruption? Is America less corrupt? Is it security? Is the UK as secured? whereby even under 16 boys carry guns and kill?

I want to know what is it in Nigeria that people wont shut up their mouth and sing another song about Nigeria.

the corruption in other countries don't seem to have a direct effect on the citizens unlike nigeria
plus they get caught especially by the nosey journalists and are dealt with sharp sharp
but the journalists in nigeria cannot even expose any corrupt police man talk less of the corrupt politicians
the journalist in nigeria are like praise singers, they even sell award every two months


at least some 16yo are killing themselves, in nigeria the police kill people!!!

What yardstick against other countries have been used to say Nigeria is such a bad state that even noone wants to see anything good in the country?

could be the fact that we have what other smaller or more peaceful country can only dream of!! imagine Ghana with just three of our oil wells for example

I love nigeria by the way

OluToye:
And i was right, can someone explain why we can't say Musl**s?

apparently when the word is mentioned an all for all fight follows


_{moderator who??}

Despite all that happened on that flight, I believe that the cabin crew were a lot more courteous in their dealings with passengers than what I experienced in domestic Nigerian flights. My experience was that our domestic cabin crew were uncultured, arrogant and full of nasty surprises for passengers. No one is defending the attitude of BA but with all due respect to patriotic villagers, Nigeria cannot manage an indigenous carrier, a feat achieved by the likes of Kenya and Ethiopia.

The problem is that all the 'other airlines' treat nigerians with the same level of disdain. fundamentally, it is something wrong with us and not the airlines!!!
ILN TOO – calling on all villagers to exercise some level of self introspection.

instead of copying just one persons opinion about the issue you should have atleast copied the reply he received!

seems as long as the leaders in nigeria are treating us badly we should just shut up and take whatever we get! so long as we don't have our own airline we should just keeping quiet wherever we get shoddy services nice! didnt know they pay so much for ass licking!

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". Today, it is Mr. Omotade, tomorrow it could be you.

is it?

lol at afterwards they'll blame you for not supporting nigerian league

why can't the NFL create a website?

according to this http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/sports/2008/apr/13/sports-13-04-2008-002.htm

Enyimba’s gangling striker, Eze Otorogu, is just three goals away from breaking a Nigerian Premier League record, which was set when Ishaya Jatau scored 17 goals for Iwuanyanwu Nationale in 1995.

eze otorogu is the current leadin scorer

well maybe they are trying to reduce the number of people applying for university
you know most universities are full already they have to reduce the number of applicants

I agree with you on most of the points you raised but i wont say its very faulty perhaps something missing- conservation of energy policy
the core issue is actually providing enough not to waste, you cant waste what you don't have.

other relevant agencies that should identify and penalize homes or offices that waste energy by leaving security lights on even during the daytime when the security lights are not needed. It is not enough for the homes or offices to pay for the energy being wasted because they waste what others need.

i don't think its fair to penalise people for using services they pay for, if anything PHCN should enlighten users or make it compulsory that security lights are solar bulbs- that absorbs energy during the daytime and comes on only at night

If possible, all heavy duty appliances and machinery should be disconnected from the national grid for now until such a time when PHCN can provide for such heavy duty users. A situation whereby all homes and offices can enjoy steady power supply with basic appliances like TVs, lights, fans, fridges is certainly better than one where only a few people enjoy steady power supply just because a few companies or heavy energy users are making use of energy meant for the vast majority of Nigerians that are in dire need of regular power supply.

this will be a disaster for the economy , i think the country will actually prefer to have electricity for industries than private homes, the little manufacturing that we do will die completely! I'm sure people will prefer to have electricity at their workplace,

the govt should ban normal light bulbs and hand out energy savng light bulbs at a subsidized rate, most energy efficient equipment are more expensive than the old ones

typos galore -sorry

why isnt she coming back to her topic?

shame dey catch you?
