dominique:

My Sister, I cannot fit shout. I try tanda gidigba but the shots from una mouth (fellow NLanders) dey keep me on my knees, as I dey try take cover!!

O Seun, MAKE THEM STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!

<Visit thread, fall on knees, weep for Nigeria>

Credit crunch no dey fear black cloth na!

Hmm, go to silverbird galleria and lift as much skirts as possible. Is there a bank in that building?

The bros shouldn't have done that. The way america is taking this "freedom of everything" too far. In this age where information is power, he doesn't need to divulge so much information like he has done.

I guess lack of opportunity but again maybe if she volunteered in her church choir she would have been long exposed. I guess it's better late than never!

The Susan Boyle Phenomenon:

Susan Boyle: An underdog that silenced the fans and judges on the reality TV series; Britain Got Talent. She came up on stage and received scoffs and disapprovals due to her funny and unstarry appearance. When she opened her mouth to sing, her angelic voice left the crowd dumbfounded and confounded. I amongst many others worldwide was humbled by the turn of events, I praised God for her. Angels on earth do not come in the brightest of colors or make the loudest noise, they simple touch the innermost parts of your soul by their acts and art. She epitomises the saying that true beauty comes from within. After her performance, I became a believer once again.

This is an example of what blackout can do. Create bumper sticker statements:

"7 Point Agenda! Dem cup don dey full."

"Be patient, don't you want the fattest bone?"

"Repent b4 overtaking, cemetery no too far"

"Be nice, I'm your guardian angel"

"Pretty spinsters, honk twice!"

"Honk if na my car fine pass"

"Na my money dem carry make road"

"Bash me, there's more where this came from"

"Be careful, Obama na my big bros o!"

"There's loot in my boot"

"Honk if naval escorts dey nearby"

"Just paid N20. Abeg make I enjoy road!"

"Smuggled through Seme"

"Just survived another pothole"

"Keep your distance, bumper made from magnet"

"Don't hit me, got a very pretty wife"

"If only I knew, I would've been a pilot"

"No jam me, I sabi big grammar"

"Driver na im get moto"

"Be nice, I might be the help you need"

"Kidnap me! I need the ransom"

"If you can read this,  this car ain't invisible"

"If I just overtook you, you are moving too fast"

"Donkey! I am chasing the honeys not the money"

"Man' U tiil dem mess-up!"

"Money is not my problem but how to loot it"

"Looters ain't got two heads"

"No liver in Liverpool"

"I got horsepower, baby!"

"Scrap NYSC"

"Don't cry over split fuel, fight!"

"They don't need renewable energy, they need us!!"

"Going rock climbing in Aso"

"Beware! I belong to a sacred cow"

"I need a visa to anywhere but here"

"Avoid me! I'm luv struck, can't think straight"

"My baby's first words: Daimler Benz!"

"Only mustard faith can move me"

"Arsenal: Goners for life!"

"My teacher said: Always be ahead"

"SMILE; I can see you through the mirror"

"Nigeria at 48, blew out the candle can't find the cake"

"I am a professional, I've driven through Lagos"

"I be danfo today, I fit be molue tomorrow. No condition is permanent!"

"Slow down until the crunch is over"

"No jam me, I get money for NSE"

"If I just overtook you, call an ambulance"


I really had fun compiling this with my family during the usual NEPA nightout.

If having a kinda name gives me another nationality, I better change my name to Bush, Wilderness or Desertson just to lose being Nigerian.

Seriously, if the basis for Serena being presumed Nigerian is the name her sister bears then it holds no water but for Neyo, that flat head might qualify him to be igbo. No offence!!

"I don chop national cake, you nko?"

Simply "Ekiti for Fi-Di-Fi" and have the colors of PDP right beside it.

Hello,

If you were to create a bumper sticker, what would your statement be? This can be from any viewpoint; be it political, social, relationship, gender etc. Except religion and sex please!

After posting yours, choose your favorite by previous posters. You might find yours on the back of someone's car someday, somewhere.

Hmm, una go see KIDNAPPING & FAMILYNAPPING of looters children and wives. In one hour, there would be a national hostage crisis. Better than robbing the central bank, Soludo relax!

@poster

Pray for him while receiving your salary and searching for another job cos u don't wanna be there when the two women eventually clash (ultimately u employees would suffer). As of now the company is in recession, evidently.

Obviously, you have the benefit of foresight!

May God preserve us all!!

Quite a hilarious thread.

I most loved the one with the lawyer stating trouble na my work.

@lawyer,

This your philantrophic gesture no be small sumtin. God bless thee!!

The perfect job I have been searching for. Got experience in gun running, suicide vests rigging, opium growing, sniping, mountain climbing and propaganda. Where can I submit a detailed resume!

I go nominate you for national award. You have done more to unite Nigerians at home and abroad than some politicians have done in all the whole of their political careers.

Two words: Extremely Nigerian

@ stoik_joy

You get brain. No be small sumtin, we agree they are corrupt folks amongst us but if we can instill a sense of patroitism in ourselves. The thieves should plough back the funds into our economy.

As for me, if anyone must steal they should plough back into our economy by investing so as to create jobs that would grow the economy. Just imagine how dollars dey rise because we have no other commodity to export apart from oil. We have to look for a way to end this endemic corruption within the system or use it to work for us.

As for Ribadu, he couldn't have caught them all. But he tried to do what he could. His critics can hardly do better put in his shoes. Nigeria is a nation of high-wire politics. Nobody can wake up and erase corruption overnight. May God give us somebody who would effectively continue from where Ribadu stopped.

I hope the regulators aren't sleeping cos we no wan hear tori when wall street virus go reach our shores o!

Plz where is the hanger for the UBA jet? Just incase we need to hold on to it, if the need arises.

Simply put, Obama is on a 'houseboy' mission. After Bush came and played the cowboy in the White House (now Black), Obama is now sent in to do the clean-up.

Usually, the republicans come and have a party, mess things up and the democrats do the cleaning.

As far as I am concerned, Obama isn't Black, until I see a full blooded african-american would I agree that America has gotten there. But with Obama, its a step.

Meanwhile, we cannot compare Obama and Thatcher since he is just beginning. The comparison can be done at the end of his first and current term in office. Gbam!!

Federal Government for don give national medal of honour. While their villages dish out those infamous traditional titles. We (citizens) would sing their praises all day long!

I just love this country but they 'mericans beat us to it.

Let them check well, Madoff & co may have Nigerian roots. Gbam!!

If they had included chemistry, physics and biology education in the list of sanctions against iran. We wouldn't be bothered with this problem now!

@ poster

Can u please give a reference to your source of information. Would be interested in following the company's drift. Thanks!

NEPAD or not, a nations economy shouldn't be blindly opened up to external influences without commersurate monitoring and regulating. Insofar as they aren't investing in strategic sectors, they can come and invest. BTW: Where does Nigeria have large investments in other economies?

Hello everyone, I want opinions on what u all think is the best approach for banks to get their financial products known to potential customers. In other words, what do u think can be done to make the work of marketers easier? Thanks for responses!

@ Poster

God loves thee!

Hello Nairalanders,

I would like you all to join me in thanking THE MOST HIGH for His faithfulness, graces and mercies in the year 2008. May He see us through in 2009. All the talk of doom and economic crises of the world cannot stop us from worshiping our Lord and Saviour. IT IS WELL!
