Chai, . Growing up, my mom and a neighbor show us pepper with this stuff. Indeed ignorance is bliss. Na so we go dey pack ourselves go long distance errands all in the name of "Oyemuni-nwa-erife" (Who born pikin no dey chop?) Only found out what it meant a few years ago. Looking back, it wasn't a bad childhood afterall. God be praised we are alive to laugh it off. .

Sounds more like ukwuani language!!!

jaybee3:
Ignore him. He is just trolling

Yeah I think... Thanks.

He's just a dunce who thinks his way of life is more superior to someone else's.

MrCork:
...am comin to that nigeria next month....I don't want to see that traditional rubbbbish around me.. 4real

Did you just call our way of life and culture rubbish?

I guess you have totally lost it.

Have lived in SA and the level of development there is first class. Their first language is any of their local language especially zulu then followed by english.

And they give value to more of traditional attire.

What's english traditional dressing?

Be educated!

bushdoc9919:
Here is what Nigeria must do

1.Remove fuel subsidy. Invest half the money in technical education...the other half in power and rail transport.

2.Raise education spending to 26% of the budget....and spend more on primary and secondary education. Raise university fees to 150,000 naira per semester. All universities to be public private institutions (Sorry....but you are not diminished by not having BSc). Technical schools/polys are to be made free of charge...

3.Spend more on security. Set up a Special Purpose Unit of the Armed Forces to engage in assymetric warfare....with the aim of beating Boko Haram.

4.Spend more on power. At the same time attract foreign investors...to come and set up industries that will train our people...and give them jobs.

5.End corruption.No exceptions.No more story.You caught...you get jail....even if you are as close to the President like leaves to trees...

6.Improve learning in our mother tongue....and at the same time improve technology that would enable communication across tribes.

Nigerians...we can do it.

Long time! I guess those mods suspended you...

Abi wetin come happen na?

njideoby:
If this is true,an autopsy should be done asap to determine the actual cause of her death. A 24 years old cannot just slump and die without an underlying precipitant.

Its so much possible... I had a slump about a month ago due to typhoid and dehydration.

I didn't know when I fell down and hit my head so hard on the floor.

Thank God my sis was around, otherwise!! Hmm.

DaGC:
The GEJ admistration built a federal university(FUPRE), a NIMASA dockyard and shipyard, a marine school (I think its the 1st of its kind in Africa sef, not sure) etc just in Delta state. Even planning an EPZ that's not been achieved because of communal ish. This na just Dela state o abi Delta state no be south south?

Don't speak of what you don't know especially on public forums.

Though you made ur point... But you're speaking as if he did us a favour..

He didn't do it, government did it.

So let's not praise to bastards cos they are performing below expectations...

Assuming you have an investment of $50billion and you have a manager over it, what do you expect from such huge investment?

LRNZH:
How come they're posting train fares from Port Harcourt to Enugu if the refurbished trains didn't get to the South East?

LRNZH, av been following ur threads for a while now... You dey always castigate about railways... LOL... Hope all is well sha...

But you are right though...

Its good to create awareness about what the government has done so far and what they refuse to do...

Half baked development is no development.. That's my angle of seeing things.

Have a good year.

American broadcaster NBC made a
pretty big gaffe during their
coverage of Manchester United’s
match against Tottenham – after
subtitles referred to Juan Mata as
‘Marijuana Mata’.
An eagle-eyed fan spotted the
mistake during the second half of
the Premier League clash on
Sunday after the channel’s subtitle
department tried to explain how
well the Spaniard was playing at
White Hart Lane.
Unfortunately for NBC, whoever
was in charge of writing the
subtitles ended up adding a few
more letters to the midfielder’s
first name Juan – and called
him ‘Marijuana Mata’ instead.
Oops.

Tomtoxic:
chai our own b lyk coal y sa b lyk electric train

Yeah, they use electric train there. Gautrain (speed train) and metro rail (normal train).

Metro rail is almost available everywhere just like danfo... And Gautrain is still a bit selected for some long distance and special places but they are still extending sha.

Hey Op! You shouldn't display your stupidity in public instead... I'm a Niger-Deltan but I hate Jonathan So much... But this, you need to check your head.

This is not a GOVERNMENT site, but just your stupid blog trying to make a point and tarnish the government and not Jonathan.

E.O.P (Enemies Of Progress) relax cos we are winning this game!

I just hope it will turn as my mind dey think am so... Chelsea 2-2 Hull City.

MduZA:
I bet with my left taste.... Nigeria will not win tomorrow

Let the game begin.... Guess we gonna eat lots of Banana Banana today!!

Sawubonani

MduZa come and hear wetin they are saying against your Bafana Bafana oooo... Them dey even call una Banana Banana??

Any SA around? Pls do the needful and defend your RAND.

Go Super Eagles.

Op, I have a feeling you are being bias in your research because you suppose to have an opinion before and after he was arrested and jailed for 10yrs.. Pre and post Buhari..

Here is an interview with Fela..

Thanks for reading.

"Since then the civilian government
of President Shagari has been
replaced by a military regime in
Nigeria, but if you go by the songs
Fela belted out in the last couple of
days, nothing much has changed as
far as he's concerned. “Teacher Don’t
Teach Me Nonsense” was one of his
songs and the colonial school books
that were opened in this song speak
volumes.

Of course I am very curious
to hear from an expert and a person
who is directly involved to hear
about the current situation in
Nigeria (June 1984).

Is the situations
worse than before the coup d’état?

“Much worse! Much worse!”

Also concerning freedom and
justice?

“That’s also much worse. There can
be no justice in Africa until African
courts are instituted. Most people
that have to appear before a court
have absolutely no idea what’s
happening to them. Sometimes they
don’t even speak any English. As a
matter of fact most people that have
to appear in court don’t speak any
English and then some lawyer starts
citing books that were written in
London, the magistrate sits there
nosing about in them and the man
in the bench doesn’t understand
anything. He has stolen two chickens
or some money and there they sit
closing and opening books. He asks
himself what that has to do with the
two chickens. For an African such a
dispute figures between him, the
man he stole the chickens from and
the judge and together they find a
solution. That’s an African concept.
There are only three parties, no
intermediaries like lawyers. I just
mean to say: that this man is
stealing chickens doesn’t mean that
he has lost his voice. He can still
defend himself and then it would be
a simple case. But no, law books
from 1840 have to be cited. Hahaha.
They say everything in pompous,
unintelligible English and the man
doesn’t understand anything about
it. All these things are so
undemocratic. But our democracy is
nonsense to begin with. Democracy
is demo-crazy. Because the judges
are also appointed by the
government, you see. They are
instructed by the government. I
could be taken to court right now if
they weren’t afraid of my popularity.

Many people are sent to jail simply
due to the instructions of the
government. You are put on trail but
go to jail the same, guilty or not
guilty, if the government wants it.
They pronounce judgment by the
letter of the law, not by the truth.

I myself was once brought to trail
and I asked for bail. But the judge
first had to excuse himself and I
knew that he went to ask for
instructions. When he returned I
was refused bail and was sent back
to my cell. There wasn’t even a legal
reason to refuse me bail, because
that’s only allowed if you’ve
murdered someone or committed
armed robbery. There wasn’t even a
charge against me.

When we demanded to know in the court room why I was put on trail they told us they were still working on the accusations. So I had to spend 30 days in jail without an accusation and couldn’t even get out on bail.

That was in 1977 when they burnt
down my house. After those 30 days
I had to appear in court again and
was sent back again for 20 days.
Now I ask you: what kind of law is
that? And if that can happen to me,
and I am quite familiar with the laws in my country and informed about my rights and am also backed by half the population, how would that go with the ordinary man, who has no support?

The prisons in Africa are full of unemployed young people who are searching for life itself, searching for improvement. They have no way out. Convicted by the letter of the law”.

I will be making posting some intresting facts about Fela and Buhari soon. Thanks

One thing you guys don't understand is: life outside west africa, we are termed one.

I live in SA for some while now, and there's is hot tension between SA and Naija. Both economically and womanly.. Lol

But the tensions doesn't affect our leaders, they know how to sit or call themselves to solve this problems.

Take the SA/Naija deportation saga, and of recent the synagogue saga.. Up till now the dead have not been repatriated (may they rest in peace) but the two govt have been treading carefully not to cause any major problem because they both have huge investment to protect.

I was with a white SA some few days back and he asked if I know chief so so so... Like really, I told him there are many chiefs in Nigeria and he said the man built a house over R70 million in Sandton, so he was thinking I would know him cos he's got lots of money and popular.

There's lots of Nigerian investment in SA and lots of SA investment in Nigeria..

So let's no quarrel cos we just are fooling ourselves, the elites knows how to settle disputes among themselves, so we the masses should learn to do same.

I rest my case.

Been United Fan since 1999, but lost respect to this team... Maybe we can go to EUROPA next season but not sure.

Wish we could just improve on our play and silence our critics.

omerta:
You could come shut me up, if you can! You opened your bigotry infested mouth to beat the drum of war, and I replied you in the same fashion. So, your "peace preaching" is very laughable. If indeed you are an "elder", then you are an insult to old age! Get your old, worn-out self out of mentions, and do not quote me again. Nonsense!

I really love your post...

Its just so constructive and mature.

That's all I can say, at least for now.

PassingShot:
A yee a yee water runaway me eye.

When I remember Ibori water runaway my eye!!!!

sunnshyn:
Nigerians representing us all over...Joburg majorly Igbos, in fact some South African women who live and has interacted with Nigerians will greet you in Igbo. Come to Pretoria Sunnyside, its Yoruba all the way...Centurion, Midrand and its environs Edo guys with heavy pidgin and edo accents...I love my people..

I laughed out loud at the part of landlord chasing you or ceasing properties.. SA just like any country has its good sides...work your way through, my best bet is academics, get your PR and you start paying bond on your own home...

No place like home(Lagos) all in all...

Lol...

Thanks know all the deals but....

We'll chat on that...


Sent you a pm... Send me ur bb pin..

Have a gud day.

sunnshyn:
When I visit MTN taxi Rank in Johannesburg, Joburg as we call it, reminds me so much of Lagos, just like Lag, you can buy everything off the streets, from vegetables, to pomo to seasoning, to china clothes, okrika clothes, Plasma TVs, EVERYTHING at cheap prices. Joburg is worse than so many places in Lagos...if you think we have good pickpockets in Lagos, wait till you vist Joburg town...I'm always on guard anytime I find myself in Joburg..'Cos I've lived in Lagos all my life!!

Lagos, the city of my birth...I miss you jor!!

Never believed someone cud speak my mind just like you did. When I got to joburg I was so surprise dat I named a street (De Villiers) Idumota. Cos you wud hear all sort of Nigerian language especially igbo.

I just settled in easily cos I was born and bread in Lagos... I hustled all through my life so adapting in a foreign land wasn't so hard but it was difficult cos its still a foreign land.

I can beat my chest dat some of you guys reading dis post wouldn't survive for 3 months cos the life here is just like a bullet train... Before you say "Jack" its month end and landlord will chase u out if you don't pay and will also seize ur property ( dat na if you have any).

You pay about 40k naira for just a room and its monthly.

I can't want to come back to my darling Lagos.

waternogetenemy:









Shut up! All appointment are subject to approval by the President.

Sorry bra!!! The speaker of a house is chosen (more like voted for) by strictly members of the house... Though the decision can be influenced, but he never be appointed cos he was voted in just like the president.

Bless your soul.

I remember this time last year... I was coming from a club in Soweto.
This guys have been following me and all of a sudden they just busted me and ask for my money. I don't go with cash that late and I made a mistake to go out with my phone.

The guy sacked me nicely and deep his hands inside my yansh and prick to make sure I was not hiding anything. Lol.

Well, during the robbery they hit me the pistol they were holding and I got a deep cut on my head.

Its easier for a South Africa to have gun than pure water we see on the street.

Crime here is just unbearable and stupid. They don't steal reasonable things... Maybe phone, money for drugs or beer.

So if someone have an encouter with them just don't argue or struggle thinking the gun might not be loaded.

This people have wasted some many naija lives here than we can even imagine.

Rest in Peace to all the dead.

Its high time we the youths resist our leaders who extorts us. Otherwise we gonna end up being our own slaves.

God bless Nigeria.

1. Mary Kate & Olivier Sarkozy

Mary Kate has accomplished so much in her 27 years (actress/fashion designer/producer/author/businesswoman & twin!) that it seems fitting she dates a man 18 years older. Olivier is a banker and half-brother of Nicolas Sarkozy, the former President of France—not a bad connection to have—L’amour vrai

2. Rod Stewart & Penny Lancaster

And in my heart you’ll always stay, Forever Young…. Even outside of Rob Stewart’s heart, Penny will be young compared to him. The model/photographer Brit is 26 years younger then her rocker beau.

https://starfluff.goodeggmediagrou.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Rod-Stewart.jpg

3.Alec Baldwin & Hilaria Thomas

Alec is looking slim thanks to his new, young wife. Hilaria is a yoga instructor in Manhattan and twenty-six years younger than her actor counter-part. It could be argued that Alec doesn’t act his age though. In 2011 he was removed from a plane after refusing to stop playing “Words with Friends” on his phone during takeoff. Namaste!

4. Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones

On September 25th 1969, Michael Douglas was celebrating his 25th birthday, while Patricia & David Jones were celebrating the birth of their daughter– Catherine Zeta-Jones. Thirty years later the two began dating after they met in France and Douglas used the super romantic pick-up line: “I want to father your children”.

https://starfluff.goodeggmediagrou.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/michael-douglas-catherine-zeta-jones.jpg

5. Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whitely

They have a lot in common –both born in England, both models (Jason was modeling for French Connection when he got his big-break after meeting Guy Ritchie), and both have played star roles in popular films. Although their home country and careers are similar, the timelines are not. Jason is nineteen years older then Rosie and broke into the film industry in 1998 – when Rosie was twelve!

6. George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin

The commitment phobe actor Clooney has finally committed to Amal. Clooney is 53 years old, if you flip those numbers; you get his fiancé Amal’s age – 35. She is a fierce barrister from London, so if Clooney gets arrested again (he was arrested outside Sudanese Embassy for civil disobedience while protesting in 2012), he will have the best lawyer in town.

7. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon

This diva likes her man young! In 2008 Maria married Nick Cannon; a San Diego native born twelve years after Mariah. Let’s just hope Nick’s not a heartbreaker – because we all know Mariah will keep comin’ back incessantly.

https://starfluff.goodeggmediagrou.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/mariah-nick-chow-dater.jpg

8. Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris

You knew this one was coming! Hugh Hefner has always liked younger woman and why not when you have a house full of them. In 2012, when he was 86, Hugh married Crystal Harris. Crystal was 26 on her wedding day. With a 60 year age difference, I can’t imagine they have a lot in common. Maybe Crystal can help him with talking to his children Marston & Cooper, who are just a few years younger then Crystal!

9. Bruce Willis and Emma Heming

No hair, no problem for Emma Heming, age 35. She fell hard for the twenty-four years older action hero actor. The couple wed is 2009 and had two children. Let’s hope this union is Unbreakable.

So next time you find someone you love, never consider the age.

Thanks for your opinion

The truth about this Bokoharam issue is that some politicians are benefiting from it cos contract are changing hands. Though its a religious issue, but some high profile politician are sabotaging govt efforts and there's a big mole in the govt selling out some info to them. The Federal govt seems to be confused and scared of stepping on toes. Well, God bless and help Nigeria. Good day people.

According to statistic, Chelsea have been consistent in their recent 10 matches at home. They are in good form and they've been playing attacking football in their last 10 matches cos they played about 7games over 2goals. I see them coming all out just has madrid did. I'm a Man U fan, but I see chelsea triumphant.

dhammyg: OP THANKS FOR MAKING ME LAUGH
