Pls who is Tonto Dikeh?
I've been seeing her name on nairaland front page.

Truckpusher: and your mama looks like Patrick Obahiagbon when she dresses on pink Abi?

Didn't know ur surname was Jonathan.
And ur pushing trucks.

She just made pink look manly.

[quote author=Brand_new]Muchechecheceh! What's the basis of your argument nau?
Every reasonable Nairalander knows it's suicidal to put a car like the Avantador on the Pot hole ridden Nigerian roads.
Most of the other cars OP posted are okay but a super car will always be a super car and the makers did not have Nigerian roads in mind when making them. One of the reasons why SUV's like the Range Rover has enjoyed so much patronage is Nigeria because of it's ruggedness and durability and they don't even come cheap.

Oya rant again. ODE![/quote]Go easy on him please, he seems to have some sort of mental challange.

BMW for those who love to drive!
I love the BMW.
It drives orgasmically.

maclatunji: Hanhan, what kind of bad idea is this? There are more popular and capable candidates than this lady. What experience of governance does she have apart from being Asiwaju Bola Tinubu's wife and being foisted on people as a Senator?

Can she win a Ward election without her husband's political machinery? We Nigerians have lost it. 4 days into 2013, people have started campaigning for 2015. You can be sure nothing significant will be done this year by these politicians.

Shame on all of them and some of us the citizens who can't see and think beyond their greek gifts.

In other words you are trying to say that she rigged her way into the senate and the whole ACN set up is a charade.

No doubt Akpabio is doing well.
One wonders if it's due to the stiff opposition from the other major tribe.

The police command in Kogi state have arrested a middle aged man, Mr Hosea Folorunsho in Egbe town of Yagba West local government council for the alleged gruesome murder of his son for ritual purpose.
Briefing journalists on the arrest in Lokoja, the Kogi state capital, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Mohammed Katsina says the suspect, a herbalist, also buried the child in a shallow grave in his own compound.
The state’s Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Katsina while parading the suspect, Chief Hosea Folorunsho, at the state command headquarters, Lokoja-the state capital, disclosed that on the 31st of December 2012, the herbalist killed his son for alleged ritual.
Narrating the police investigation, the police boss, Mr Katsina disclosed that on the New Year’s Eve, at about 11:55PM, the suspect quietly took the baby named Sunday Folorunsho who was asleep in the middle of the night and murdered him in gruesome circumstances.
He added that having accomplished his mission, the suspect dug a shallow grave in his compound and hurriedly buried the corps of the baby.
The police escorted Mr Folorunsho to his compound where the baby’s corpse was buried and he was then asked to exhume the corpse.
Digging out the corpse of the baby, he handed over the body to a pathologist who conducted an autopsy on the dead baby.
The autopsy result read that the child died of multiple fractures through the application of blunt object and trauma.
The 48 year old suspect, a native of Egbe in Yagba West Local Government Area (LGA) of the state is married with three other kids.

see the loooong list of poor people viewing this thread and salivating.

Do we have to get adenuga's mansion shoved down our throats every now and then.
This was on the front page a few weeks ago.
Anyway he looks obese in that picture of his.
Hope he doesn't drop dead one day from a clogged artery.

achi4u: you are right,not all girls are money conscious...atleast my babe...

In other words you are poor.
Sorry.

Javanian: Everything on Planet Earth is Esoteric...

You realise i used the word 'very' right.
Besides front page topics should appeal to a wider range of audience.
If i come out ranting about my subspeciality in medicine, i wonder how many people will contribute.

brokoto: Biko warris this doing on the FP?

It tells the world that Nigerians are smart too.
Guess that's what the mod was thinking.
Though he forgot how very esoteric the topic is.

[quote author=Okija_juju]We need to kill most of the people incharge of Works and Sanitation in many states.. This pictures would have looked alot nicer if only they were swept clean.. Thats what makes Calabar different from other states, their roads are swept twice daily.[/quote]I think they should be burnt along with the refuse if possible.
Wonder why people dont realise that sanitation is not child's play.

Double194: What is like to party?

How can u forget the name of ur favourite hore?

Aafulenu: naa the total was 600 not four hundred cos i can remember i scored 570 and i was the best in my state then.

It used to be 400 then 600 and subsequently 620.

[quote author=ola_pluto]I strongly disagree with both of you sirs.
1. There are non-alcoholic wines with 0.0% alcohol in it. There are also beers with 0.0% alcohol. Maltina is a type of beer. For a list of non alcoholic beers and wine on sale, check this website: http://alcoholfree.co.uk/.
2. Oga Sunnymoore, am sorry you have no jurisdiction to speak for Islam.[/quote]Pls refer to a standard English dictionary.
Non alcoholic wine does not exist.
If it has no alcohol it is called juice.

Dawdy: Osun is the Safest State In Nigeria

And probably the most boring.

They just participated that's all, nothing spectacular about coming 2nd out of 4 African countries.
What is their overall position?
Maybe 102nd.

The term non alcoholic beer is a misnomer, it does not exist.
Same goes for non alcoholic wine.
For a drink to be termed wine or beer it has to contain alcohol.

OP you are doing a great job, i'm beginning to appreciate the pictures.
Keep them coming.

anataala: if the have not deserve those roads come and remove it, by the way go and ask your governor what the are doing with their own allocation from FGN and you should marry as many wife's as possible to get populated that is the formula

It's not about the infrastructure.
They appear fairly decent.
It's just that anyone from the south will be naturally perplexed at the near absence of human existence.
And yet the census figures tell us otherwise.

This does not make sense.
It means all i need to do is state that my child is from Yobe state.
On the exam day, he just has to appear, stare at the ceiling and hand in his papers at the end and voila! he gains admission into a unity school.
Meanwhile if he states Anambra with a score of 135 he is kicked out!
QUOTA SYSTEM IS THE STRONGEST FACTOR THAT HAS LED TO THE DOWNFALL OF EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY!

This place looks like an evacuated nuclear fall out zone.
I must however commend the infrastructure which looks well maintained or perhaps should i say under utilized.
I love the trees lining the airport road.
The desolation is eerie, you dont need to even look out before crossing the road.

Enugu has been filled up this christmas unlike the past.
A lot of people came into the city.
Enugu's population is really growing.
The state government needs to step up to keep up with this or it will lose its serenity.
I'll keep shouting out about SANITATION cause that's the first sector that feels the strain.

See dirty toilet paper lying on the floor.
Who is the photographer?

Very innovative.
Anything that promotes our culture should be encouraged.

For me
A list ministers - none.
B - Former power minister (Barth Nnaji), Information minister (Labaran Maku)
C- Agric Minister (Akinwunmi Adesina),
F- The rest.

BARELY hours to Christmas Day, President
Goodluck Jonathan, speaking at the
foundation laying of the Living Faith
Foundation’s Bible College in Kaduna, had a
message for Nigerians:
“Let me assure all of you and indeed all
Nigerians that 2013 will be better for us than
2012 in all aspects of the nation’s history.
The new year shall be better for us in terms
of job creation, wealth creation and improved
security among others,” he said.
In one breath the President was challenging
Nigerians to dare to hope that the oft-
repeated promises to deliver dividends of
democracy would be actualised in the New
Year. At same time, his comments appeared
to be an admission that his large cabinet had
fallen short in meeting the expectations of
longsuffering Nigerians in every area from
security, to job creation to provision of
electricity and basic infrastructure like roads.
In a moment of defensiveness in the face on
unrelenting criticism earlier this year,
Jonathan vowed that he and his cabinet would
no longer rely on the assessment of the
media, but rate the government’s
performance by themselves.
In the real world that hardly makes sense
because the entire cabinet put together
cannot muster more than 50 votes, whereas
the opinions of millions of voting Nigerians
who don’t sit in the cabinet room would
ultimate determine whether the
administration has done well enough to be
given another chance.
This Sunday we begin an assessment of the
Jonathan cabinet by allowing the people and
experts in relevant areas to rate ministers on
a scale of A to F.

Pete Edochie, one of Nigeria’s most talented and famous actors, is not dead as being speculated online, Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, said on Saturday.
AGN president, Ibinabo Fiberesima, was quoted by a Lagos-based newspaper as saying that the 61-year old actor was alive and the report should be disregarded.
Global Associated News, reported on Saturday that the veteran actor died while filming a movie in Kitzbühel, Austria.
But Fiberesima said in a text message: “It is not true at all.”
Born on 7 March 1947, Edochie is a seasoned administrator and broadcaster who came into prominence in the 1980s when he played the lead role of Okonkwo in a Nigerian Television Authority adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s all time bestselling novel, Things Fall Apart.
He became so prominent after the NTA adaptation that the BBC flew into Nigeria to interview him for his role in Things Fall Apart.
Edochie has featured in so many successful movies that the number seems not exhaustive. From ‘Terrible Sins in 2001 to more recent movies such as Secret Pain or Living with Death, Edochie is an A-list actor.

KOGI State governor, Captain Idris Wada, has told medical personnel of Cedar Crest Hospital, Garki, Abuja where he is undergoing treatment for a fractured thigh not to fly him abroad, his spokesman, Jacob Edi, has said.
Edi told Sunday Tribune, on Saturday, in Abuja, that the governor rejected suggestions that he should be flown abroad for further treatment.
He also disclosed that the governor did not sustain life-threatening injuries and that he was in stable condition.
“He has been receiving calls and he has made calls. He has also received visitors, including Vice- President Namadi Sambo; Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator Anyim Pius Anyim; former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmadu Ali; and the governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, among others. He is in stable health and his mind his stable,” the Special Adviser to the governor said.
Meanwhile, the deputy governor, Awoniyi, who is currently holidaying in London, is still being expected.
Awoniyi, who travelled out before the Christmas celebration, is expected to come back and take over the affairs of the state in the absence of Governor Wada.

Was wondering what this topic was doing on the front page till i read the OP's and Siena's posts.
Very interesting read i must say.
My parents loathed any creature that wasn't human. I suspect their hatred for pets brought them together.
You lot are really fortunate, i never had the opportunity to live with pets.
My brother once secretly sneeked a marmalade (striped) kitten that he freed from the thorn bushes in our garden, into the house.
He thought it was a cute little kitten.
He knew better not to let my dad see it.
Dad was cool with a lot of stuff but definitely not a scratchy four legged creature.
He felt mum was going to be down with him keeping it but little did he known that mum's hatred for pets was worse,up to the point of paranoia.
Come see drama wey ensue when mum heard this human like 'miaw' in her beloved kitchen.
Luckily for the poor kitten, my brother came to the rescue just before my mother's pestle landed on the spot where it lay.
That marked the official end to all attempts at adopting pets in my house till date.
Even now none of my siblings own pets (that is the easiest way to ensure my folks wouldn't visit).
