PropertiesRe: The Making Of The "Port Harcourt Mansion" by dnative(m): 1:35am On Jul 11, 2013
spyder880: My Oga at this site is very strict about his standards, he is the kind of man that will go for the best just to ensure that all building processes are well observed, He arranged for a "Dumpy level" to be brought to this site so that the foundation levels could be accurately determined. It was a new experience for me, we are all in school and learning everyday cheesy
A humble declaration from him who knows a whole lot yet nonhesitant to show he is open to learning new things. Kudos to you and you can only but go from strength to strength. I see you going very far in this sector.

jusRadical: Please mr spyder I would like you to explain to us how you would construct a duplex (one storey building) in 60 days.

Do you know about concrete curing and loading of concrete? Do you know the minimum duration in-situ concrete will cure before it is loaded? Unless you are using pre-cast concrete.

My friend be realistic. Unless you are part of the folks that construct unstable structures.
Have you read his previous posts to check what he knows and has done. You could have saved yourself the trouble of asking those questions. RTFM.

NessaFresh: Though we might often see the wild part of one of nigeria's top female celebrities, only an up,close and personal relationship could make you find out she has a very huge soft spot for dogs especially puppies. She owns two herself whom she treats like her own babies. She loves them up to the extent of letting them sleep with her at night atimes.
Huh! Inappropriate.

BusinessRe: Advice needed : How do I successfully manage my bakery In Nigeria from the UK?. by dnative(m): 12:28pm On Apr 04, 2013
'Running a business in Nigeria' and 'while living abroad' should never occur in the same sentence. It will require pure genuis or extraordinary luck to make it work. Do not try it! Many have been there (moi included) and always got burnt - it's usually the same ol' story - money down the drain.

N4m is about £15k, look around you in the UK, there are things you could do with that amount that will bring you a decent margin and still secure your capital. Seriously people living abroad need to learn looking around their host environment more for biz opportunities than the usual first thoughts "I must go back home to invest". Even in UK with all the taxes, bills etc, people still run business ventures successfully and turn a tidy margin. We should take a cue from the Asians as they seem to be doing this quite well.

Save yourself the headache and tears down the line. Unless you are ready to move to Naija and run your biz, simply don't bother and look elsewhere.

On the flipside, shouldn't it be the Atikus, IBBs, Sambos of this world that should be emulating these mentionedmiddle eastern leaders? With all the billions and billions they have cornered for themselves over the years and their firm grip on the oil sector, why have they not been able to better the lot of the North the way those guys in UAE,Qatar,Oman etc have been able to do for their own countries?
CelebritiesRe: Darey Denies $500,000 Payment To Kim Kardashian by dnative(m): 1:42am On Mar 18, 2013
bluesaint: Thanks bro, educate some of these block heads on NL. If Darey can single handedly pay and fly a high profile celeb such as Kim K down to Nigeria Amidst all the security ish facing the nation, then Edem Duke should have been there to shake hands and show her around. That gesture alone will make alota American Celebs to wana come spend money n chill in naija, thus giving our tourism sector a high. And If Darey paid her $500,000, what's our business? Is it your money? Don't you think he must have gained even more? That is pure show business! Some of you here are so nosey and foolish! You always make excuses for people's failure such as poverty...go tell that to the government and not Darey! Maybe U want him to sink his money into charity, well, he is not Bill Gate.
People will always remain poor, yes! And this is because they chose to be poor! About Akpabio, and 2face...truth is, envy and hate are for people who are lazy! The rich will always get richer, and as for the poor, the choice is theirs. Those that have made money have the right to spend it the way they choose, and they wouldn't need anyone's directives to do so!
Mtcheeeewwwww....all these rubbish talks dey pain me.

Keep dreaming things will work that way. They will have to spend much more dough shipping in a whole plane load of celebrities to even make a subtle impact in getting such resultant effect. You do really think people don't know what's going down? Just because Kim Kardy got paid for a half-day work jetting in and out of Naija under such arrangement fools no one and won't get Kanye falling over himself trying to book his next Naija holiday - certainly won't turn Naija into the Carribean overnight.

Why should this ugly thing take all of us for f(oo)ls ?

She's simply trying to play on our intelligence, what gets me angry the most is tthat she's not even remorseful. [/b]
I did actually thought about this as well, you can't rule out that someone with such fraudulent traits and persona as displayed in her several responses here most likely have mental health problems.

This should be kept sticky in one of the top ten entries of the front page and not allowed pushed down into oblivion by new front page entries. Smooth criminals like Wunmi should be given no hiding place.

IslamRe: We Are Losing Our Identity To The Arabs by dnative(m): 5:15pm On Feb 05, 2013
[quote author=tpia@]surely i dont need to spell it out to you?

barack has its origins in the semitic form baruch or mubarak.

you can say its an africanized version but you need to pull up more evidence if you say it has an african root.


in yoruba, its alubarika, but everyone knows it still has an arab root?[/quote]I think you read me wrong, I wasn't saying you were right or wrong, simply asking you to provide some evidence on how Barack means or derived from Mubarak.

Go back to the boldened in your response and tell me how that has helped.
IslamRe: We Are Losing Our Identity To The Arabs by dnative(m): 4:32pm On Feb 05, 2013
[quote author=tpia@]barack is a muslim name [mubarak] while obama should be african.[/quote]go back and do more research and come and back and tell us how barack means mubarak.

Wallie: British people are so polite o! How can someone just walk up to you aggressively demanding where you're from? I don't really see that happening in the US because it's most certainly going to lead to a fight! The response should have been "bi*ch you better get the fo*k out of my face!"
This is why the average closest racist in the UK don't f*ck with the Jamaicans in my opinion. They know the typical Jamoo lady will dish it out twice as hard as she receives.
PoliticsRe: Lagos To Introduce Cable Cars For Mass Transportation. by dnative(m): 1:05pm On Feb 03, 2013
[quote author=Negro_Ntns]nooooooo, noooooo!!! angry

this is bad idea! this is like laying tracks for trams, except instead of on surface we are suspending it in the sky. this is bad idea. how do you combine fast tracks planned for the metro rails with outdated drags?

let us expand development hinterland into yoruba townships instead of wasting money in one spot to construct multi layers of redundant projects.

Eko Ile please share with the Governor to convert this money and erect a parallel fast track to compete with nigerian railway corporation. we need to depopulate lagos. people can live in oyo and commute daily to lagos to work. it is possible for people in osun to commute back and forth daily to lagos. it is called speed train or bullet train. sky cable cars will only incite the remaining millions left in villages to troop into lagos and be part of the skyriding crowd.

bad bad bad policy on this one......scrap it![/quote]couldn't have put it any better. For people living in the surburbs and commuting to VI, they spend on the average, 1-2 hours on the road getting to work. I'm sure most won't mind living in somewhere like Ibadan, Oshogbo etc and getting on the 6.30/7.30am train to get to CMS in 1hr. Why can't naija just get something right once and for all. Rail transport no be rocket science, even London Underground was built more than 150 years ago and still running quite well.
PoliticsRe: Chime Has Thyroid Cancer - SaharaReporters by dnative(m): 1:01am On Jan 26, 2013
are you saying that when a Governor is elected, it is ok for him to disappear for months and as long as contractors that may have been awarded road contracts (and are duty-bound by the way to execute these contracts) are now doing the jobs for which they have been contracted, then all is well and the Governor can show up whenever he like? Only in Nigeria. I followed a lot of your brilliant threads in the property section and I'm struggling to reconcile your stance on this appaling situation.. Leave all the road construction or flowers planting aside, there are commissioners and permanent secretaries in each of ministry that directly handle the daily affairs of their respective ministries. That doesn't mean a a Governor can disappear in this manner without any accountability and that people don't have the right to be in the know.
