valacious: Was watching STV this morning and was shocked during the interview when Vicotia Pepple said to white naija that 'you are actually blessed to be white. I mean in this age, a presenter could actually utter such lines laced with racist undertones. So sad.

Who is she Please post link or where to reach her so people can comment on her stupidity

Very true, palm oil is a known blocker of pipes and vessels and has been linked to coronary heart disease. Suitable alternatives are capsid oil, vegetable oil, groundnut oil (which is high in HDL and LDL), cotton seed oil, sun flower oil, rapsberry oil to name a few.

Coco29: Why do Nigerian men like fat women? I am puzzled by this.

Ur question is a fallacy. Just like if i ask why nigerian women like men with big JT.

ammyluv2002: I don't blame the guy for saying that sha....it shows he's smart...maybe he's not ready yet but my advice is that you should give others a chance not all of them though. Always have an open mind. All relationship must not end in marriage even when you want it to so trade carefully. Just keep the conversation going with one of them, get to know him (I didnt say have s*x with him o) you never can tell above all, talk to your God about it too and He will help you.


All the best dear

How can u give her that advice. U know what u've just asked her 2 do, dont u? Look, if a girl is dating, she should face the man she is dating. If she wants 2 marry, she ha no right 2 be dating one man and looking at suitors outside, its disrespectful. She either ends it with her man so she is open 2 choose 4rm the rest or she clearly gets an answer from the man dating her and close her eyes 2 tge rest. Nigerian women, u people will not kill us,.....God 4bid.

Dibiachukwu: Those ethnic groups are our enemies. Full stop. They had us as slaves; sold us into slavery; Helped their masters starve our kids to death; rejoice when boko haram kills our kids; hold our brother's souls captive in their churches. What other criteria do you need to identify your enemy. You wakeup man.

Am awake but u seem 2 be the only one asleep,.....with ur conspiracy theories. I bet if u drink hot strong coffee, it would wake u up 2 the fact that not many igbos care aboutbsuch theories. We only want peace to run our stuffs, keep are family and children safe. Enemies will always be there, in igbo, yourba or hausa land. Whats important is not ur having them but how u handle them. Even Jesus said love ur enemies. Dont u thinks its best 2 bring ur supposed enemies closer, that way u understand them better and maybe, just maybe then also realise that u've been wrong all along.

Brimmie: I dont get it.. You still doubting!? You find it hard to believe!? Dayummmmmn!!!

Ma guy when u have repeated being lied to by a group of people, u will find it hard believe whatever they say even if they say the sky is falling on ur head and u see it coming but cos they said it, it will sound like fairytale. I still insist on seeing part 2 of the movie

chaircover: No worries . . we are good

Appreciate

oyinmama: It isn't a new occurrence. Back in 2003, I remember using a phone torch to carry on with a Caesarian section at Adeoyo Hospital in Ibadan. PHCN had done its worst during surgery, main generator and back-up had both broken down. We couldn't stop, so we made do with the torch of those small Nokia phones back then to finish. There were also instances when I had to set up intravenous fluid infusion for babies via the scalp using lantern light held up by colleagues.......

My sister, i also did similar. Funny enof, u cant get angry cos the patients life may just be in ur hand so u cant just stop then.

kolidave: I stumbled across this photo today and I was shocked disgraced & embarrassed. What is the health sector of this country turning into. Now I know why people travel abroad to have their medical checkups and treatments..... By looking at the photo,can't imagine what would have happened if there was a casualty during the surgery leading to the loss of life and once again PHCN & GOVERNMENT will be in for it ..... Plz scroll down for the photo.

How is this the fault of the health sector or the doctors operating. U should even give the doctors medals 4 continuing to work in those conditions. I have seen cases where doctors walk out of a procedure cos NEPA or is it PHCN took light. If only u knew what shit nigerian doctors go through. I have seen worse case scenerios, this is nothing. People u should face are the people that provide electricity and the government. 4 all you know, there may have probably being light when they started but PHCN took it awy so the doctors in order not to waste time continued with rechargeable light. I mean, i have been i such situation b4 so i know what am saying. Its not new in nigeria. 4 people who would travel out 4 surgery cos of this, they can enjoy themselves cos it won't stop the inflow of patient who will still want to be operated even in those conditions. Nigeria, we hail thee.

voltron: 3 Key Problems with TINAPA
1: Local Economy not enough to drive even a 5% marginal revenue unlike Lagos
2: Industries such as ports and related services have no need for a resort, Oil/Gas have estates and recreation for their members
3: Tourists even local ones dread the idea of local conflicts (kidnapping, Witch-killing, communal clashes,local politics with violence)

Even when AMCOM takes over, it will be interesting to see how they re-position from a position of collapse

Unless they uproot tinapa and site it some else more favourable.

The only way to answer this question is to list all achievements of the past presidents and then compare the list.

webpower84: So Sahara reporters were right afterall. If not for them, maybe no one could have heard it. Kudos to them

Na wah, sahara reporters and their propaganda machine to finally hit the nail on the head to this one. What does one believe now? Sahara reporters, this aviation woman or government? Make we dey watch for part 2.

Just that is just it. I wonder who was set up here, ibori or the british justice system. Looks like britain has just be made a fool of again by the unscrupulous nigerian system. Am sure after this, they will never trust any evjdence picked up in nigeria.

sunnydayasaba: Am happy u have an acct with the Bank, Go back to the Bank after the holiday break and let the manager knw that u will be closing ur acct with them and also contact the Head Office in Lagos to let them knw why ur closing ur acct and indicate to them abt the managers unrude behaviour towards u...Dnt make it look like a threat, just let him knw how displeased u are towards his input in the matter. Am sure he will not want such to happen.

Thats what u do and it works like magic cos these bank people only respect money

Alfa Seltzer: MASSOB

Is MASSOB a security agency? ?

Dibiachukwu: Imagine Ngige, in an yoruba party. Laughing and dining with our enemies. Yet he is still mouthing off. APGA should get its acts together.

Look this man, tribalistic talks like this would only inflame things. I wonder who yo are sparing with urself or ur supposed enemies. What we want is growth not stupidity. Even igbos as united as we are have enemies among ourselves, every ethnic group has that so why would u then categorically state "Ngige in a yoruba party, and then dining with our enemies", I wont ask u if I misunderstood u but will only say tune down the tribal hatred. It wont help us.

chaircover: You wrote that long Opening post, but forgot to include this very crucial piece of information until someone asked for it yet you are offended that someone didnt just believe the story the way it was told.

**unfollows thread**

No vex, its just NL rubbing me the wrong side. Had already posted my reply b4 I saw ur other post, apologies...

The formal toothless bulldog of a senate bench warmer has not just learnt 2 bark but has also developed teeth 2 bite.

First cancer centre ni, not true cos lagos already has a cancer centre besides owerri also has a paediatric oncology unit. Its irrelevant who opens one first whats important is a centre is opened up that can handle some areas cos oncology is a very wide area of medicine.

Tinkybabe: Haba CC,your dismissal of this story as a fiction is quite surprising cause these things do happen.BTW her mum says "aunty is back" to her child not the other way round and the baby is yet to speak in fact.

You have to relieve your mum of that position and find an alternative.Be tactful about it since you said you do not want to hurt her.
Though I would say she's overstepping her bounds and that shouldn't be condoned.

Quick question op,is your friend an only child?if not,does she have male siblings and is her baby a boy and the first granchild?
I would expect this action from a mother-inlaw than a mother ,but well..

My sister u hit the nail on the head on all counts. The lady is the second of 3 girls. First among her sisters to wed. First grandchild for her mother. Her mother kept looking 4 a boy but never got the chance b4 her mother lost her womb 2 fibroid and had 2 give up.

chaircover: A made up story!

Anyway a child who is old enough to say "aunty is back", should be in a nursery and not at home being looked after by grandma

If u read the write-up well u will understand the grandmother said that to the baby as the baby's mom walked in from work and not the baby talking. The baby is still less than a year and I saw him and his mom some days back. I know there are many made up stories on NL and in many social medias but please if you don't have advice to give just walk away without leaving ur f%×÷$ comments. Some people do have better thing to do that construct an abitary story just to seek relevance or attention, believe me, am not one of such. I still am yet to advice the lady but I think I will speak to her and her husband but tgen am still unsure about how to advice.

CFCfan: In addition, an Air Nigeria and Aero merger would form part of the new airline.
I hope the new core investor would be either Emirates or Gulf airlines- these 2 airlines could pose a threat to Emirates.

So they could promote more sucide bombing, shey?

Ijogz K: Lmaoo Naaah not just Nigeria, I was told that his announcement of Achebe death was Viewed live by the American president on CNN. So we can't limit his success to Nigeria only.

Lol once again.. Nigerian Senate, a ceremonial position for the rich or political Elite like Mark

Still there salaries must be reviewed and Ngige has not achieved anything 4 his constituency while there yet u people want 2 vote him 4 Governor. I wonder sometimes how silly we can be?

Hello guys, i had a heart felt discussion with a married good friend of mine whose husband is always on the move and rarely around. She is a working mother who recent gave birth some months back but her mother is driving her crazy. Well I didn't know what to advice her so I decided to throw the question at you guys.

She tells me" my mom is driving me crazy!!! The way she acts i swear she wants 2 be my son's mother. My mom helps me look after my son when i have to work, but it's not enough for her. She grumbles and complains when i get home cos she then has to go back to her house. I even spoke to my husband and we made room for her at our place but its still not enof. She does not like when my husband and i are around cos then she wont be able to be near our son, as if she likes to be at the centre some of our son's life or sumthin anyways i didnt allow it so when we are home i send her to her house grumbling, but then one day she came again to look after him, she wont let me have anything 2 do with my son and if my son starts crying wanting me she says no and takes him away. I'm worried 2 say or do anything around her cause it like walkin on egg shells if u don't do what she wants it's a big fight. She also acts like she is the only grandparent. Have tried talking with her but she refuses to listen talk less change. OH and enen when she does watch my son she doesnt even take care of him well. I wish i could just not be involverd with her but she's my mom besides I don't want to insult her. She was once watching my son while I returned home from walk and she referred to me as "aunty is back", I was shocked that she said that to my son even though he was too young to understand. How do i make her realize she is the grandparent not the mother?

Pls anyone who can advice this lady should please feel free to do so.

NIA, I dont like guns so prefer not 2 carry one.

Hypocrites and brigands. Please they should also do prayer sessions 4 responsible government parastatal to reduce the amount of money they make which is more than what Obama and British PM earns.

How can my name be written, when I was the one writing the names....

LoveAmaka88: OMG, are you really wearing a sweater, long sleeve shirt, and slacks like it's not 100 degrees? A saw a black guy acting like it was winter time today...He looked like this, but it's so hot outside!

Poor seasonal choices bother me

Na wah 2 u, what of if he is freezing 2 death. What is ya own sef?
