190....this list cant be complete without that moniker for old timers like me.

Good to see you here NSG. I've been following your blog for some time now. The memes that you post in your stories makes them really funny. Isn't there a way you could put them here too?

I'm interested. Here's my email doink12ng@yahoo.com . Thanks

This is sad and equally stupid at the same time..This reflects badly on the entire Nigerian contingent..I just watched a clip of segun toriola's 41rally in table tennis in this games and I felt so proud,only to come here and see this..
There's no excuse for this..You don't as an athelete at this level,take or eat anything anyhow.The coaches know the list of banned foods or drugs even if the athlete claims not to know it.They will now say she used cough syrup or some rubbish like they don't know better.
Sadly,I heard Maurice Green is part our coaching crew for tracks..Let's just keep for fingers crossed in tracks. Hope she learns her lesson.

Comparing Eminem and Lil Wayne is like comparing a Rolls Royce with a Toyota. Lil Wayne doesn't even come close to DMX, who is my own favourite rapper of all time.

Something similar happened to me this morning..I got to Ibadan around 7pm yesterday and decided to stay at hotel influential,close to premier hotel.. I was told that the room was 6500n,paid but wasn't given the receipt..On checking out this morning,I asked for my reciept but the receptionist who attended to me last night was not available.The manager then called him and he told the manager where he kept the reciept.. To my utmost surprise,the amount on it was 5000n.I told the manager and he showed me a copy of the hotel rates which indicated that truly,the room was 5k..The paper I was shown last night was laminated and when I mentioned this to the manager,he said that that was the old rate.He then tried calling th receptionist and another co-worker who was there when I checked in last night but their phones were switched off.. I waited for close to an hour but I made sure I got my money back.I do hope the guy is sacked because I'm pretty sure this is not the first time such would happen..Things like this hurt the business and eventually,the employees too.. @op,corruption is deep-rooted in the average Nigerian's DNA and reading comments of people like arcbabe makes one doubt that there's hope for this nation.

I'm not surprised about this..there's one APC at alausa, ikeja on the street leading to shop rite which I initially thought was for shop rite but now, it seems it's been guarding tinubu's late mom ever since..so, abuse of power is everywhere. It's just that some politicians are more lavish with it than others.

In as much as I really hate the presidential pardon given to Alams,I also don't like double standards..The British government recently released a saudi prince who was jailed for killing his homosexual partner to continue his sentence in Saudi Arabia..so,who's fool who?
Still,the pardon for alams was unpardonable...

cotton101: did someone really really ask what is wrong with that hospital - oh gosh - anyway when someone has not seen a patient in a decent hospital hooked up to all sorts of machines monitoring them you can't really blame them.

apart from the dirty walls is that kind of bed normal to you for a hospital - even my two year old knows that picture looks abnormal

.. People like you make me laugh..You probably live in US/Uk and come online to see the sorry state of things in Nigeria,and make snide remarks..it makes you feel good right?I know what a well equipped hospital looks like and I know that a good percent of our hospitals are not well equipped BUT we make do with what we have,we save lives with what we have..The lives that we save don't make the news,only the ones that we lose do..People then come and say rubbish as if deaths don't occur in US or Uk. The only way our hospitals will be better is if more of our leaders die(yes,I said it),die in them.Maybe,then,funds will be allocated to equipping the hospitals.Sadly,for now,it's the poor that utilize the facilites.
Till then,you diasporans can continue to turn up your noses at the "pathetic state of our hospital walls".We will continue to do our best with the resources available.

[quote author=cnn_olofofo]My dear,everything is Wrong with that hospital picture,have you been to any well equiped hospital before,definitely NOT what seeing in that picture.[/quote]. That picture shows someone lying on a bed and it's not even a full shot.You can't see anything around her in that frame..I'm not saying that the hospital is well-equipped or not,I'm saying that you can't base your judgement like that poster did,on that frame..It's just a negative mindset that people have,nothing is good in this country,it all has to be US or Uk..We don't know what she died of,but already people are assuming that the hospital is bad..A classmate of mine died last december in the Uk during childbirth.Strange,but true.
The reason teaching hospitals seem to have lots of deaths is because of late presentations.Though,that's not the case here.

[quote author=slim fit ]How do you all expect this woman to survive in this type of hospital no offence to the doctors and nurses God help my family oh don't let me see what will make me have to go to this kind hospital I beg you God Jesus please.[/quote]. Can u kindly tell us what is wrong with the hospital?How can you deduce that the hospital is bad from one single picture??It's patients like you that will present late to hospitals after going to churches and God knows where else,yet expect doctors to work miracles..shior
By the way,why a blue cannula though?are her veins that tiny?

Sweetlemon...

My dear,I thought Nigerians were stubborn...apparently,I thought wrong.I never see this your type before oh!!kilode??
You opened a thread some months back about this same boyfriend and his committment issues asking for our advice,we all told you to break up with him because he wasn't serious with you,yet you persisted..I think you aborted for him,he had 2 phones in Nigeria,a girl picked ur calls bla bla bla..Very soon,u'll ask sexkillz to delete this thread,like you did for the previous one.

Anyways,I don't have any advice for you..like I said,"it's only the stubborn fly that will follow the corpse into the grave"..That boy is bad for you,run and don't look back.

The only pastor I respect in Nigeria....
Happy birthday to you sir.May His grace never leave you.

Bet why would serena wear tights naw??

Black tights for that matter sef..She no dey dull us for US Open,why do so here?Thank God I didn't go for that match,I would have demanded a refund on the spot!!!Anyways,big thumbs up to them for coming to Nigeria.

Yep..Teju babyface has my vote any day,dunno why he stopped doing the "Governor" skit..I love watching his banter with stella.

..

@ Op,cool down jare..u've derailed ur own thread already.Granted D-explorer goofed(he should have just walked past the thread) but abusing him with over and over again just aint right..Also,calling out 190 who was just jesting is also not called for..
You'd probably want to "bu" me too but try to restrain yourself and see this as the friendly advice it is..To answer your post,No,I can't do that.

Omo,lemme start calling my muslims friends..na to chop meat from thursday to sunday be this..

Just saw this online...

Typical...Because a doctor missed the diagnosis,all medical schools/doctors in Nigeria should be thrashed.I wonder where the pediatrician that eventually got the diagnosis right trained?Probably in the US where they never make mistakes right?
I'm not holding fort for the doctor that got it wrong,mistakes happen in medicine just like any other profession,sad to say but it's the truth.All I'm saying is that don't imply/say that all doctors in Nigeria are quacks because of one person's error.

I have seen countless number of dead people in my line of work..Some right in front of me,still I couldn't watch that video more than once.Even animals get a more humane death than what was meted out to those boys..So,I'm wholly in support of these students.
Granted,an eye for eye makes us all blind but the community struck the first blow.I don't care if the boys were cultists or pastors,that is irrelevant.You don't do things like this and not expect a backlash.I mean,did they expect a pat on the back for killing 4 humans like that??
Like I said in another thread,I was almost lynched by a host community just like this back when I was in school and so,I know how those boys would have felt whilst it was going on.Thank God my story didn't end this way.
The students have struck back,now we can set up "committees" to look into this matter and hopefully,draft a law against jungle justice in Nigeria.Strengthen the police force and let us have faith in them again.Only then will this barbaric act stop in Nigeria.

Karma must revenge the deaths of these innocent ones.

This thread is quite long but it's educative..if you grew up in Nigeria in the 80's like I did,you should be able to relate to it..

Ayo's olufunmi performance was tight,no doubt but that's just one performance out of many..Going by what I've watched,I would have given it to either marvellous or adetoun..If I had to choose,it'd be adetoun..Ayo has always been a distant third for me..The others can queue up as they like.
Anyways,if it's true he won it,congrats to him.This year's competition was interesting,wish them all well.

Okay,thanks for clearing that up.

Sexkillz,please what happened to the thread about the swiss lady that wanted advice as regards her Nigerian boyfriend..I can't find it anymore.Was it derailed or something?
