God knows nigerians can't survive another 4yrs of gej. It has never been this worse, poor power supply and fuel scarcity simultaneously? Gej, bet why?

Facts

I lost respect for Onyeka Onwenu decades ago when she showed that she could no anything for money even tarnished her hard earned image.
From camping at NTA with Charly boy to the One-million-man Abacha march. I dont doubt this story one bit.
She has not been exemplery at all.

slinkman:
Nigeria of before is better than the Nigeria of Now... i swear

Since the white man left us the military instituted corruption and with the advent of oil production, greed set in.
From a resourceful nation with groundnut pyramids we are now known as a criminal, Boko haram, kidnapping, corrupt, 419, militant and cantankerous nation.
The discovery of oil really messed up Nigeria. The thirst for quick wealth devoured our morals. Most of the structures we have today were built decades ago. What have our leaders done with our oil money so far? Still no hope of stable power or feul in 2015....in summary, the country has been deliberately mismanaged for corrupt purposes.

Olodo amateurrobbers. Going to rob pple on a bridge. Btw, shuud dis armed personnel have. Rammed them to death? Is dat d right justice?

Not justice but self defence. They were not chasing him to pat him on the back. Think!

These are the same people going to represent us? If kidnappers and fraudsters can be back on the streets few weeks after apprehension then this is nothing. Buhari has a lot of work to do.

In the 80s, Nigerian civil servants donated 5% of their
salaries to the South African Relief Fund for the liberation
struggle.
And now this!!!...How easy they forget.

What a pity

Still struggling to generate 2988 MW for over 54 years after independence

Such a shame for the giant of Africa

I doubt this news. Visafone is rich itself. The owner is a rich man
My dear friend. ... Please don't venture into business as your post has displayed that you have egocentric tendencies. .
The fact that the owner is rich has nothing to do with the potential sale of the company. If the offer is right, he will sell the company and move on. What stops him from using the money to set up some other business franchise? ??

Don't mind him, he has no market insight. Typical Nigerian calling "rich man" up and down without knowing the dynamics of assets and liabilities. (This mentality leads to kidnapping ).

Back to the topic, Visaphone laid off 80% of its call center, sales and marketing teams last month ending.
Jim was probably shopping for a buyer for Visaphone before this CDMA haemorrage sinks him out of the Forbes list. I'm sure he sold it cheap sef because it is not that useful to MTN, apart from wanting to revive it under its all powerful brand name. At this rate most CDMA companies in Nigeria have already gone belly up.

And some people be here talking like rich man means he manufactures money.

Tempers are high...the number of bigots on this thread is alarming. No cool head in the room.

Your hatred for ibos will only make your already miserable lives more miserable...my 2 cents

LubricatingOil:


You are very wrong. The igbos are the ones constantly bullying everybody. Check out Facebook, Twitter and other social media to understand what am saying. TAN which is headed by igbos went on and on with hate speeches and name calling. Be ready to dance to the tune of your music. Have you checked out JK's advertisements lately? A typical igbo man believes Yorubas and Hausas are ignorant and useless, but over and over the outcomes says otherwise.

You have no point.

Every Nigerian has the right to vote wherever they are governed. Its like saying the Hausa community should not vote their preferred candidates.
Constantly bullying a particular ethnic group for residing in Lagos is ethnic bigotry at its highest.

The Oba will surely live to regret the day he threatened genocide against the ibos.

moreeni:
Yes! Its not the "sweetness" of the song that makes it a best seller. It's a combination of many things like the singer, publicity, record label etc. Wonder why anything Don Jazzy touches become gold? So yes sell it but make sure you agree that you would get some credit for it. Ie, you must be allowed to tell the whole world you sold it. It's a good way to recoup some publicity for yourself if it becomes a hit...so ride it.

this says it all

5p1naz:
this is an example African leaders should follow....
a ruling president unseated and then this message. Great example. I wish he had ruled with authority. He would have stamped out the bad eggs that marred his tenure. His wife inclusive.

like if you think patience would have crashed her computer during a toefl test.

He surrounded himself and was used by the enemies of Nigeria; PDP, FFK, Sambo, Okupe, Fayose, PEJ and the likes.
however, we will not be cowed by this emotional blackmail, he has to account for his crimes against the Nigerian people.
EFCC needs to prepare GEJ's file....we are not done with him and his cronies.

shaddi:

When the "likes" on Nairaland showed them, they called us APC e-rats creating multiple accounts, when Google votes proved it; they said GMB was an online president; Dele Mohammadu showed them the graph but they said "na lie, GEJ till 2019 (temitemi1)".

We told them SouthWest will vote GMB; they created a thread: "Beyond propaganda, GEJ is favoured to win SouthWest".

Now we have been proven right.
The masses have spoken.
UP GMB!!!!!

Yes o, they kept saying elections are not won on social media. Now they can't dent the power of social media

IF THIS RIDE IS 2.5M THEN I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I tire o

PDP rigging.

for avoidance of doubt zoom into the video at the last 20 seconds and you'll see the guy constantly thumb printing on the "Umbrella" logo.
There's even an INEC official right there with ID card.

FTC, this is good.

Buhari is clearly in the lead.

onatisi:
best answer to the op dilemma .if the case was as the op narrated ,the lady just didn't want to give him .

Not true ! The OP would have been denied by any VO on duty that day as he missed 5 essential criteria, his chances were slim to none. UK and US processes are definitely not the same.

Royals1:
I thought it is when they ask of any documents (like invitation letter) that I will present it, but she neva ask of any document yet. First thing is just d questions, infact most applicants did not present doc, just d questions before any documents.
Howeva now I don't know where ny fault is.

From my experience the following factors worked against you.

1. No travel history.(Western country preferred)
2. Low income and job profile to support your trip. (Your monthly salary can't pay for a US plane ticket and feed your wife and kid at the same time )
3. You didn't go with your spouse.( If married, this reduces your chances drastically)
4. No convincing reason for your trip (An official trip and hotel booking would have served your circumstances better)
5. General naivety of the whole visa process

Being married should have helped you but with all the factors above the VO was definitely going to bounce you...no two ways about it.

Don't bother re-applying immediately till most of your circumstances (Now a red flag in their records) have changed significantly else you will just be throwing away money.

Follow me @tweetaristo

Bros u are basically saying that because an Ijaw man is president, then no other tribe or person should get there because you are scared of Niger Delta Militants??...that's all you have said. I blame previous and present governments for having gangsters on it's payroll for fear sake.

It will shock you that Nigeria will survive and thrive!!
Grow a pair mate!!

Flets:
If by chance Buhari wins this election, extremely hard times lies ahead for this country. 

Definitely, the creeks will go haywire again, Buhari will send the troops to the creeks and together they will set the oil facilities ablaze.

While these persists, the oil producing companies will simply withdraw their personnel from the volatile region and all foreign investment will seize in all sectors.

And even if the troops kill 90% of the militants, it will take just one militant, a dynamite and just one location along the multi- kilometre trunklines to continue to wreck havoc. 

Fast forward to 2019, if we remain one country and without a civil war,, we will be an economic wreck with no allocations and salaries, no capital projects, no hope with dollar exchanging for 400 naira and we are worse off than we were in 2015. Cos the truth is that without crude proceeds for now, Nigeria is finished.

 And then, we'll be screaming another 'Change' because we would have learnt a bitter lesson in the hands of the Fulanis, Tinubu and Saraki.

And then we will ask.... Why were we this silly?

And before you quote me, make sure you outline in clear terms how you or Buhari will avert this obvious calamity staring us in the face

Bookmark this page and quote me in 2019 if nairaland survives.

He shouldn't just be beaten but also burnt to ashes.
For refusing to be raped the pregnant wife of a colleague was kicked severally on the stomach and she immediately started bleeding. After the robbery, she was taken to the hospital and the pregnancy evacuated. Sadly her womb got damaged and she can no longer have kids. The man cried his heart out when narrating his ordeal.
As for me o... any robber caught should be set ablaze. chikena!!!

Very sad tale indeed.
These guys are terrorists and should be treated as such. Sadly they start preaching and blaming the devil when caught

nichole2:
For goodness sake these is a fellow human being , people can be so barbaric ,they could have taken him to the police to serve jail term.. Na wa 4 people sef

Will u keep quiet!!
@nichole2 you obviously haven't been help hostage in your own home with family while robbers taking turns on u like amusement park (I'm sure you don't want to experience that).
If you've ever been gang r@ped and sod0mized by 7 robbers for 3 hours straight and your neighbor gets his brains blown out with a sawed off shotgun then you will know that robbers ain't human beings for goodness sake!! (Look what they did at Lekki last Friday)

These guys break in rob, kill, maim, gang r@pe and sod0mize all females in sight including daughters and grandmas.( Try telling your boyfriend you were drilled by 7 dirty robbers for 3 hours and check his reaction). A lady was shot point blank for refusing to be gang r@ped.

I don't support jungle justice, lynching or burning. I just don't pity them anymore when they are tied up and beaten up in this manner.

As for taking him to the police, if he sorts them he will be back at your doorstep in a jiffy with shooters like what happened at A4 Hotel Ajah last year.

Even the international community knows how utterly corrupt this government is, Jonathan knows but only cares about keeping it business as usual as long as mama patience is chopping her fair share.

If they like they can share all our money to entertainers and Nollywood actresses. Every penny will be accounted for soon.

It's sad to see people boasting here about Nigeria crushing ISIS. Even America and the developed world are having a hard time with this group talkless of how an ordinary armed robbery attack in Lekki yesterday could not be curtailed by our security forces.

How do you plan to stop a bunch of well armed ISIS fighters and suicide bombers if they decide to raid Lekki tomorrow?

A word is enough for the wise.

onatisi:
if this article is true,the best thing is for the army to quickly finish off this group ruthlessly and spare noone among them. The borders with chad and niger should be beefed up and the verification of ppl from other countries be increased . Bh will start kidnapping foreigners and christians in nigeria and killing them and this may lead to a religious conflict which is what bh and isis want .

Those chanting political jargons should read the above. ISIS in Libya is not waging a full scale war. They are just kidnapping foreigners and Christians for propaganda value. Their main aim is to spread terror and they will definitely get more international attention to BH's struggle. Don't underestimate this alliance. Pray and keep your families safe.

It better not be BH :/

I love MI but I'm not with him on this one.
Forget the offensive articles, I will pick that Etcetera's album over all of MI's body of work anyday...Etcetera dey sing slow but don't play with him.

damola1:

If Jonathan wins this election, I will start planning my eventual exist from this country cos it's obvious our future has no chance of moving forward and my kids shouldn't experience same, and the man is as corrupt as corruption

For one moment, please think it, how can we move forward when our leader is in denial

I have made this same assertion that if Jonathan wins, I will leave this country as I cannot continue in a country of the blind led by blind. GEJ could reduce the whole country to rubble by 2019 before his supporters wake up to his lies.
