oyb: completely ridiculous thread - they are ENTERTAINERS - so what do you have to say about names like limpbizkit, ice cube, pdiddy, puff daddy snoop doggy dogg, beastie boys, coolio, busta rhymes jay z etal?

seankola: DEAR NAIRALANDERS, I ONLY DECIDED TO COMMENT BECAUSE OF THE COMMENTS I SAW HERE. ASIDE THE FACT THAT MOST OF THE RESPONSES CAN'T APPRECIATE WHAT A FELLOW HAS DONE BY MAKING THESE PICS AVAILABLE, THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE IN NIGERIA IS QUITE OBVIOUS. WHY DO WE CURSE CITIES WE'VE NEVER BEEN TO OR EVEN GO TRIBAL ON THIS OCCASSION?
I REALLY DOUBT IF WE ARE CAPABLE OF APPRECIATING LITTLE THINGS AND MAKE GREATER THINGS FROM THEM. THESE PICS ARE SUPPOSED TO SHOW DETAILED INFO OF THE POPULAR NIGERIAN CITIES SHOWING THEIR TOPOGRAPHIC FEATURED AND SPATIAL INFO. INSTEAD OF APPRECIATING THESE, WE THROW SHAMEFUL COMMENTS AND ARGUE LIKE WE RECEIVED NO FORM OF FORMAL EDUCATION. DOES ANY THINK ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO CHANGE THESE CITIES? OUR PAST GENERATIONS HAVE GRADUALLY SETTLED IN CITIES AND HAVE PUT LAND TO ITS BEST USE (atleast to the best of their knowledge), SO LET'S JUST USE OUR BRAINZ WHEN COMMENTING. COMMENTS ARE MEANT TO ADD VALUE AND APPRECIATE NOT TO RIDICULE. A SPECIAL CASE IS THIS WHERE MOST HAVEN'T SEEN A BIRD's EYE VIEW BEFORE NOR EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS...
I WILL LIKE TO ALSO ADD THAT MAYBE MOST OF THOSE THAT USE THE INTERNET SHOULD JUST LIMIT THEIR PARTICIPATION TO FACEBOOK. COS IF U PASS SUCH STUPID COMMENTS ON FB,WE ARE ANLE TO SEE THE CULPRIT'S FACE N PROFILE.

Would the above not have made a better reading if only u had taken time to do a proper formatting of ur response?. Why present everything in Capital? I was so tortured reading thru it.

In my usual magnanimity, I have decided to re-render it in a less harsher way. pls note particularly that u remain the original author and that nothing has been changed.

Many Thanks.



"Dear nairalanders, i only decided to comment because of the comments i saw here. aside the fact that most of the responses can't appreciate what a fellow has done by making these pics available, the problems we have in nigeria is quite obvious. why do we curse cities we've never been to or even go tribal on this occassion?

I really doubt if we are capable of appreciating little things and make greater things from them. these pics are supposed to show detailed info of the popular nigerian cities showing their topographic featured and spatial info. instead of appreciating these, we throw shameful comments and argue like we received no form of formal education.

Does any think anything can be done to change these cities? our past generations have gradually settled in cities and have put land to its best use (atleast to the best of their knowledge), so let's just use our brainz when commenting. comments are meant to add value and appreciate not to ridicule. a special case is this where most haven't seen a bird's eye view before nor even know what it means...

I will like to also add that maybe most of those that use the internet should just limit their participation to facebook. cos if u pass such silly comments on fb,we are anle to see the culprit's face n profile."

May his Soul rest in very Perfect Peace ( pls ignore the words "very perfect"), but dat is how i felt when typing this message. Did not know him personally well, but I loved his vibrancy

Keneking: This looks like the heap of waste from danaer disastre cite...

lol, U sure do have an extremely weired sense of imagination.

odumorun 1: I strongly disagree with Wole Soyinka on this.

The furore regarding the renaming of Unilag is elitist posturing of the worst kind, dressed up in the garb of democratic protestation. This has nothing to do with anger that the council of the university was not consulted. The university and its senate and governing council do not fund the school. The school is funded by the federal government from the federal purse representing millions of hardworking Nigerians most of whose kids will never enjoy the benfit of a university education let alone a prestigious one like Unilag.

The storm in a tea cup is another example of middle class Nigerians, particularly yoruba ones (the most snobbish and self regarding version and yes i am a Yoruba) refusing to be associated with a person largely revered by the poorer classes. The same happened when Uiversity of Ife was renamed in 1987 in honour of Obafemi Awolowo, when a few hundred students largely of middle class origin demonstrated their objection, while the poor people in the town, carpentars, shoe makers, tailors and others who benefited from awo's reforms celebrated.

This is all about a few priviledged and educated yoruba people wanting to retain what they see as an eleitis label placing majority of the population whom they secretly despise. If the school had been named after Barack Obama would they be protesting, even if it was done without consultation - Of course they wouldn't - they'll probably be fantasising about getting an easy visa ride in the American embassy.

Wole Soyinka is a radical and progressive Nigerian but his elitism is a well known flaw which is why he has never inspite of his undoubted courage been able to buod a mass following for his ideas.

Unilag is funded by the majority of the people of this country, not the students or their lecturers. Most ordiany Nigerians respect the sacrifices people like abiola made - they, not the spolit middle class kids kicking up a fuss in Unilag are the majority. The noisy minority in Unilag should be ignored. they will son go back to their Ipads

If they don't like the name when they receive their degrees let them rip them up. They don't own the school, the people do -i've not seen any demonstrations in mushin, shomolu, bere or sabongari against it.

If wole is not happy let him write a poem about his fury. He is a great man, but on this occasion he is wrong

What is ur opinion about what he Suggested with regards to Abuja National Stadium?

Wait, who be 'Dogs and Baboons'? PDP members or other Nigerians including Me?

The Clue-full Ebele of Chelsea

I go change our wire for NEPA Pole back in d days in Surulere. My fingers became glued to d naked wires for a split second. I screamed Jesus and yanked my fingers off, was very close.
Was and still grateful to GOD ALMIGHTY.

When u get into trouble, especialy the ones u know nothing abt, just be calm and avoid arguments until u get to d station.
An equipment in d lab. went missing over d weekend in my office; monday morning, police told everyone to come to their station to make a statement.
It turned out to be a detention of everyone, i was so pissed, when asked to make a statement; i just wrote my name, age, sex, state of origin and my position in d office. The IPO was so infuriated and threatened to force statements out of me to which i told him no shit.
At d end of d day, office paid 2k for bail money per person and d asshole who spent d weekend with d equipment confessed to d theft after 2days in their cell.
Knowing ur rights and good demeanour work my friends

MTN maybe the reason why other networks are working so hard to be better; since i tacitly abandoned their packet data for GLO, I have never regretted it. The competition is encouraged, what is expected of us is swift, continuous, swinging and wise decisions.

Herbal formulations( containing bitter leaf in mixtures with other plant materials) using indigenous knowledge have always proven effective in the management of diabetics. Scientific curiosities only elucidated which of the molecular fractions provided such efficacy using Animal models. To me, the real discovery was done by the rural Professors ( Men and Women) who provide primary health care through the practices of Ethno-botany and Ethno-medicine.

pls. Investigate why power is constant during NEPA strike. Were they deliberate and mischevious in providing us service? All of a sudden, power supply just go better.

Freshp,thanks alot for ur swift reply to my complaint. Though am yet to do wat u suggested but am hapi 2 hear dat it has got a solution. Wud do that after d holidays. GOD bless u real good man!

My generator went off while upgrading 4669X. Now it comes on and goes off. I need help pls

Hi All,

Could somebody kindly upload this page of Vanguard of 18th February 2011 for us to see the advertised vacant positions of the National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike?

I was informed by a distant friend who is not on Nairaland.

Many Thanks

Incredible story; does Nigeria have its own embassy cables on other countries? Only God knows what the British embassy cables on Nigeria would look. Jonanthan? I doubt. Aint no balls!

slowpoke

Are u sure the man under attack is not an impostor? May not be a real mopol. u know. Maybe he is trying to run away from the real officers?

Kudos Evil brains. Not a fan of mo or watever shit;
but u wud hv made a better presenter on that show. IBB may hv sponsored that episode

Thanks be to ABASI for this 1.

May I humbly ask why the Guardian didn't have any news on the sentencing of Ibru? Wherease every other paper headlined it very boldly on its first web page.

He implied that some break away and un-repentant members of mend who rejected FG's gestures but now under d largesse of , ? were criminaly responsible. 1 of them has just been picked in SA

Besides, i got cameroonian families who lecture in UNN; both husbands and wives are cameroonians. But all their kids are only known by their Igbo names. 2 bad, our less educated parents had something we all have missed. Shame on u all

Is it really a curse to be a Nigerian? Why are u guys bickering over ds? Its my humble suggestion dat d so many ethnic fragmentations will never allow 4 a meaningful dialogue towards development of naija. I noticed dat d illiterate Nigerians are more tolerant of one and another. I guess d more educated Nigerian u are, d more intolerant u become. Stop showcasing ds condemnable trend among d so called informed and travelled Nigerians. Shame on u all.
