Ibadan my city. You won't appreciate the affordability of living in Ibadan until you've lived in Lagos. Minimal traffic, cheap food, cheap accommodation , relative peace...

Don't be ridiculous. I have been in Ikorodu for days now and I've seen with my eyes this fighter jets. The military presence is as of a war-zone. The military is not joking with this operation.

Wonderful people of Nairaland, I am a youth corper currently serving in Lagos but I need a place(company or firm) for my PPA: Primary Place of Assignment.
I am a graduate of English language from Obafemi Awolowo University . I am an effective communicator with astute writing and speaking skills. Proficient in the use of MsWord, Excel and PowerPoint. I am a teamplayer and invariably quite ready to learn more from wherever I find myself.
Should you have any information or assistance for me, kindly drop your comments below.
Kindly help me to put my abilities to good use as I serve my fatherland. Thank you.

PS : I need help with this, moderators. Thanks.

Pls, till when will this stop? Can there ever be an end to this brazen sleaze and impunity? Do we think God will come down and deliver us himself? I think very violent reaction from youths of this nation towards everybody in the political system won't be a bad idea.

I'm very worried.

Cult infested skul, if they dash me admission I no go take self. Mtchw.

Did this one say "cult-infested?" u need to be checked. Really! OAU?

The intellectual shallowness of some Nigerians at times can be very disheartening and depressing. The news says a school has been reopened in Chibok and some pple are here thinking its the same school where the girls were kidnapped. Do you expect only one school to be in a very large local government? Is it only one school we have in Alimosho local government in Lagos? I honestly expected Nigerians to shelve their hateful tribalism for once and be happy for these innocent kids who can now return to getting educated without fear or trepidation. But alas!

But what is this nonsense recess this guys are always going for sef?! September 13! Abi oloriburuku ni awon eleyi ni

this BlackBerry get sense

they stop WhatsApp on purpose, so that they can introduce this "thing"

Blackberry doesn't own Whatsapp. Whatsapp decided to stop their services on BlackBerry OS and other platforms like symbian, Java etc.

Wait...all those people came out to see the drone? Nigerian police and propaganda tho...things they are even supposed to keep covert, they blab about and lose the advantage of surprise.

Lols it's for shop and go na...I don't think it's been finished yet(aint been there in 2months) but it looked like it can accommodate @least 10 vehicles? No? Well it also looked narrow to me sha.

Maybe with time they'll acquire more land?

I'm sure those omo oniles will soon sell it to someone who knows how to use it...lmaoo...cos they've stopped construction work on it. And its a smoking zone now

The banks will then have to look for ways for customers to park their vehicles or loose patronage.
A good example is the new ikosi shopping mall built, there's a car park also built opposite it.
There's a twin tower @ oniru close to bonny camp round-about there's also an inbuilt car park.
Mega chicken, landmark etc have expansive parking lots
I ain't been overseas o, but why do u think car parks up to 5 storeys high are built?

Most businesses DO NOT even consider parking space(in relation to projected number of patrons) when building .

It's not government's job to provide parking space...tho govt can create some to generate revenue.

With time I believe we'll see more parking spaces erected... what my mum does sometimes is enter the nearest residential street to park then walk back to the main road. To carry out transactions.

As regards to the Ikosi shopping mall parking lot at Ketu, no right thinking individual will drive to that place. That one is not a park

Last week I was in Lagos and went to a Zenith Bank in Festac to withdraw in company of my brother, before getting there he asked me to give him my card and my pin, I was surprised but being my brother I gave him the card and told him my pin.
When we arrived at the bank, he asked me to turn off my small phone, step out of the car, open the bonnet and pretend as if the car just developed fault and start making an imaginary phone call, cursing whosoever I was on the phone with... Them LasMa guys came and instead of removing my plate number they offered to help as one of them was a mechanic, to cut the story short, we did all out transactions and left without any disturbance from the LASMA guys.
#Port-HarcourtBoysNoDeyCarryLast

This one crazy gan o...omo see concept

Ambode is overdoing himself with all the ill-thought-out unreasonable tax regimes. Are people supposed to carry their cars on their heads when entering banks or eateries. Yet these establishments are not mandated to have car parks. He is fast becoming infamous for putting the cart before the horse. Multi-level parking lots, public lots, underground parks are not provided, you're prohibiting people from parking cars.

Disclaimer: The comments does not imply the writer supports illegal parking and traffic law violations. The writer only wishes to reiterate the importance of modern and effective methods to solving traffic imbroglio.

Any government that refuses to tap into the copious intellectual deposit of the SW is fooling itself. #GreatIfe representing anyway.

Lazy boy go and hustle

You know what they say about the straight road being long and thorny. Its even extremely thorny here in the third world esp. If u wanna stay honest...which is becoming increasingly arduous

They should arrest all those yeye girls that are always dumping us and calling us broke mofos too; those ones who always claim they can't date a guy without car.

The renaissance age has also been described as the age of enlightenment-age when man was its intellectual height- where people shifted from "God-centricism" to "Human-centred" ideals. My point is that until we Africans liberate ourselves from the spiritual incarceration that we've found ourselves today, we'll continue to lag behind in the global scheme of things.
Religion has turned out to be the greatest mode of mental imprisonment hence the horrified expression of Nigerians when you don't go to mosque or church, or when u refuse to swallow what the pastor said hook, line and sinker.

The interview is not only insightful but also frank and unequivocal. The only problem is that we Nigerians talk too much. By now, there should be a real pressure on federal govt on this restructuring issue. We all know any leader from the north will passionately reject regionalism simply because the north seems to be the only region gaining from this political rape.

Something similar has happened to me before, only that I found out myself...the guy should forgive the girl...its crazy yo but he should. Anybody could err. He only needs to keep closer tabs on her and forbid her from contacting the dude or any other ex for that matter

Even Jesus thrashed some mofos in the temple...the Kingdom of God suffereth violence.

And the way the members would be so dedicated to the priest as if he's God. Especially the female folks. Too religious and not spiritual. I've been to churches and I've discovered some pastor's secrets...I remember a certain Church in Ib where I went to some years ago...I was shocked when the pastor spoke to me and his mouth oozed of booze...little wonder he was always jumping up and down.

Chai! PDP that is expected to rebrand itself in order to be a strong opposition to the inept APC is there celebrating looters and criminals.

[b]Our political class needs total annihilation[b]

its not in dispute that a father equally has the responsibility of ensuring the well-being of his children, however it is equally not in dispute that women can be very persuasive and influential when it comes to manipulating men. It sometimes take maturity and sense to avoid being manipulated by them. Its now left to a father to decide whether to be gullible or be wise

delishpot:
Because the father is as wicked as the step mother. I would never trade the happiness of my child to please any woman. Not even my mother. Any woman that comes into my home to maltreat my kids, she will pick herself up from a pile of dung. No excuse for men who choose to look the other way while someone destroys the life of a fellow human. If you do not steal, you would not knowingly dress up and escort thieves on their armed robbery mission. Enough of making excuses. Men have to also play a role in the lives of their children.

The Chief Executive Officer of Erisco Foods Limited,
Chief Eric Umeofia, has said every year, over 75 per cent of tomatoes harvested are wasted in the hands of farmers while Nigeria remains the largest importer of tomato paste in the world. He made the observation when he received the
Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige;
a former senator, Florence Ita Giwa; and other
dignitaries who came on a factory tour of Erisco
Foods Limited on Friday.
He said, “It may interest you to know that Nigeria is
the biggest importer of tomato paste in the world
while over 75 per cent of fresh tomatoes harvested
get wasted in the hands of our farmers yearly due
to the fact that there is no means of making use of
them industrially.”

According to Umeofia, who
is a major stakeholder in the
tomato paste and food
processing sector, unlike
China where there is only
one favourable planting and
harvest season, Nigeria is
blessed with two favourable
planting and harvest
seasons.
He added, “Worst still, both the Indians that form
the majority of the people that import fake/
substandard tomato paste into Nigeria, and China
that produces the fake/ substandard tomato paste
does not consume, in their own countries, the same
quality of tomato paste they produce and dump on
Nigeria. Still they pay little or nothing as import
duty.”
He said the directive from President Muhammadu
Buhari that Nigerians should produce what they
would need and eat had spurred his firm into
creating a means of converting fresh and dried
tomato fruits into paste.
“Through converting of fresh tomato into paste,
Nigeria will be able to save over $1bn (N280bn)
being spent annually on the importation of tomato
paste. In addition, we will export and earn hundreds
of millions of US dollars in 2017 after meeting the
tomato need of every Nigerian in December 2016,
provided the government stops the dumping of
fake/ substandard tomato paste on us.
“We are set to employ over 50,000 youths in two to
three years with over five million indirect jobs for
farmers and other people in the value chain in our
Katsina, Jigawa and Sokoto states backward
integration projects that are currently ongoing.”
He disclosed that the firm was set to start
production from its Katsina project in the first
quarter of 2017, adding that this could only be made
possible with the support of Nigerians.
In his address, the labour minister, who was
represented by the General Manager, Nigeria Social
Insurance Trust Fund, Mrs. Olufunke Aleshinloye,
commended Erisco for the innovation of converting
dried and fresh tomato fruits into paste, adding that
it was a laudable accomplishment.
He said, “The Nigerian economy needs this kind of
innovation and diversification, which in turn has led
to job creation in the agricultural sector with regard
to the feeder farms that provide raw materials; the
engineers that set up the production plant and
maintain its constant functioning; the factory
workers that turn the raw materials into finished
product that is then marketed by entrepreneurs,
wholesalers and retailers.”

I have seen crimes committed by fathers against their very own kids and stepkids too should I go ahead and say * Fathers ehn.....hmmm?


That woman is a beast, the man is even a worse beast. They both have hearts of gutter. Stop shifting blame on women when a man does something. He and her are guilty. Stop padding his crime and making it seem like he is innocent if not for the wife. His own child. I think they should both be flogged everyday for 5years in jail.

I do not dispute the fact that the father himself is naturally wicked. But believe me , step mothers do manipulate fathers against their children. I have a personal experience of this.
