Roger is a good and humble man. He understood that Murray would have died on that court if he lost yet again so he just let him win.
He was simply averting manslaughter here!
God bless u dear Roger for being humane.
At least the brits or more precisely the scots (win 〓 brit, loss 〓 scot) can now rest.

geva: thank GOD prezzo did not win and i hope talia and keagan marry after this.but d persons i pitied in dis game re seydou and goldie.


I also learnt alot.

No wonder Nigeria has a very f#cked future! BBA is now ur LEARN ALOT forum!

Chai! I doubt if u've ever said that after any school lecture in ur life.
Who let u unto his computer?

2 greatest car enemies in naija are
BAD ROADS and CLUELESS ROADSIDE MECHANICS the second option will kill ur car very fast no matter how careful u are so avoid them at all cost.

Naturally the newer model cars tend to be more complex for these quacks who are more comfortable with older models following years of trial and error and ruining other ppls cars, so u often see them advising u to stick to the 99s and 01s which is ridiculous!
Generally when a new model of a car is released most pple who can afford it rush to upgrade, that may just be the reason why there is a lot of camrys for sale.

It could also be that Nigerians are beginning to get over their irritating fixation on camry.
Personally anything from 07 just give me an altima(nissan) at least i would be the one driving not the car driving me.

onandon: We have only had a total of 4 hours power supply in my hood since Saturday. I can't believe this crap of a topic, OP is definitely part of the 40 laptop squad. How can someone in his/her right mind come out and justify failure by comparing it with another persons shortcoming ? Na different parole person dey see for this NL everytime. Hey everyone, I bed wet every night but my brother bed wetted twice yesterday once during siesta and when we were having our night rest therefore I am better than my brother and I'm proud to be a bed wetter because my brother bed wetted yesterday too.. Yipeee ! By the way we are 18 year olds.

Great analogy! Pls tell those shameless individuals who come up with outrageous comparisms.

Eko Ile: Gullible agipa people...... lol

Even by 3 am your tribalistic satellite is scanning for threads to derail,
U be wintch?

Anambra actually has the best rural roads in the SE.
Am not sure if Peter Obi is responsible for most of them though

It's unbelievable how so many uninformed illiterarates and corrupt paid off touts come here to blab about how Nigeria is better than India.
Ask urself why did some hours of power outage in india make international news?
Will that be the case in Nigeria?
Remember similar power cuts in SA making news some years back.
A country where even your leaders are flown to when they require VERY BASIC healthcare.
Is there any hospital working in Nigeria.
Look around ur extended family and tell me if u wont count 2 ppl that have benefited from India's healthcare system

^^
as an 'idea' it remains excellent in reality it's crap.
Our roads appear particularly straine d becaus ethey are virtually inexistent and very poorly maintained .
In many cases we have only one road linking major cities and states.
Yes railways are what we need BUT before that let's overhaul our roads FIRST

Bloody white elephant project that presently makes no economic sense.

How many billions are we talking about here!
And before anyone starts saying eh, it's moving people and not just cargo, what are our roads doing?
Imagine, just imagine what would happen if that money went into road construction and maintainance in this region.
The truth is any railway that is going to move people in the 21st century for that distance efficiently should be high speed and invaraibly ELECTRIC.
Do we remotely have the capacity to MAINTAIN such ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Or are we hoping to utilise the 60km/hr steam contraptures. Then that may just be acceptable for cargo which makes no sense if u can put that money into roads and reap sooooo much more.
Just look at the state of our roads and we are here talking abt highspeed traintrack blah blah bah linking uncountable states
NONSENSE!!!!!!!

Think North Korea vs South Korea

China is NOT practising isolationalism

Nigeria's problem is bad old CORRUPTION

This is a beautiful thread. I must commend your work especially for being so realistic.
It cuts across every part of the society.
Enugu is indeed blessed with natural beauty which needs to be enhanced even further.

I wonder if you have some training in tourism development because this is the kind of thread that will appeal to an international audience and actually encourage more investment.
Keep it up
I love the lush green rice fields most

honeric01: Let me ask these harmless/innocent questions:


Why do westerners/southerners/easterners have heavy assets/properties/businesses in the north if truly the northerners hate them?

Can you own assets/properties/businesses in a hostile environment?

But it's very rare to see northerners owning assets/properties/businesses in the south.

My dear honeric
Are u delibrately acting retarded or are u truly mentally challenged.
Notherners rarely own properties in the south for the following simple reasons

1. There is an inexistentent or at best very small middle class which usually drive middle/small scale businesses that bring about ownership of such property.
What u have is an utterly impoverished NO income group and a looting super rich upper class that calls the shots.

2. Obviously the impoverished cannot afford the cost of property in the south

3. Even if they can afford it like some of the beareau de change mallams. Their intolerant nature will not permit them to invest in "another man" land fearing that they will suffer the same fate they are metting out to their hosts up north

Many farms have been destroyed by these herdsmen and believe me it's very painful to see one's source of livelihood wiped out in a blink of an eye after months and months of hard labour.
If there's another way, and i believe there should be, the herdsmen shld stay put and quit moving arnd.
Imagine a herd of about 200 cattle moving through major streets in Enugu and leaving in their wake heaps of excreta after pple have been paid to sweep those streets
They have freedom of movt, right
It's just that pple down south are alot more civil if not...

Asha u're partially correct, life and premier are presently not functional but they have acquired by another company and may soon start production.
I need to get more facts about sabmillar though

The list far from exhuastive and i just chose some sectors and larger manufacturers.
The small scale industries are a multiple of the above

Onitsha is definitely more commercialised than Aba.
Presently to say which is more industralised may be controversial.
However, with the current influx of manufacterers to Osha and the setback suffered by Aba during the "kidnap" saga, i"ll go with Osha. Aba is also completed neglected by govt.
Lagos (not Ikeja) was the former capital of Nigeria and shld be left out of this.
If i get the OP right the idea is for govt to spread allocation more evenly and encourage other towns aside the capital to develop.
Other aforementioned towns apart from Nnewi and warri have a long way to go.

Mr Globe, i thought u had internet connectivity.
It takes little to nothing to look up simple facts like state capitals.
It very irritating for u to come and start bashing someone for being ignorant based on your decerebrate assumptions when u are the one that is actually wallowing in ignorance.

Owerri vs PH which is more developed / planned?

Bitter cola and nivaquine which is 'sweeter'

Ans: both are bitter

[quote author=Lord_Reed]150+bhp so? Besides it's not a V4 but an I4[/quote]Yes it's more correctly referred to as an I4, just following the post.
The point am trying to make is that they are not made for stunt driving esp on naija roads. They are basically for moving from point A to B. It is not a sport sedan and should not be driven as such.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]I been wan know o! But no underestimate 4cyl Camry o! I don use that thing travel and the only car wey dust me for road na FX45.[/quote]I think u shld go for thanksgiving. How much bhp do u think the V4 has.

I don't think nigerians dislike nissan. They've been around for very long and for good reason too. Nissan vehicles are very reliable. The last generation altima is the second highest selling sedan in the US presently, having fixed the problems in previous generation. It leap frogged the corolla and accord in sales.
The just released 2013 altima outclasses the new toyota camry in almost every category including power and fuel economy and may overtake it in sales by 2013.
