Nigerian football is turning many people into mathematics gurus considering the permutations and combinations that people engage in whenever our boys are playing in any tournament.

All this money that could have been put to better use is being spent is just to bring some deluded fellows under control.
BH must be stopped now else funds for fighting terrorism may become the only item on the next national budget.

He climbed the high wall for an unscheduled meeting with Obama? That's the height of desperation!

Methinks somebody wants to enter the Guinness book of records.
Nigerians won't stop being on the news.

The reasons given sound plausible.

It may be completed as stated looking at the massive work going on there. We must give kudos to the government on this one.

Good move. Let's hope that the money will be used for what it's meant for.

This is depressing. We seem to be running around in circles here. On a general note, I think vandalism is just one of the problems. What about the generator importers? I bet they will do anything to make sure we remain in darkness. This is what you get when you don't tackle issues on time. If this power issue had been tackled years ago, we would not be talking of generators in the first place. We lack leaders who can see and project into the future.

Due process must be followed

Sad incident

All these emergency parties sef. What is/are their plan(s) to move Nigeria forward? If they are just going to be another 'opposition' then, it's useless.

Boko Haram has grown into such an amorphous entity that any splinter group could come up disowning the deal.

How do you know the right people to negotiate with?
These guys don't have a face. It's risky to trust them. By the way, what is there to negotiate? What are they really fighting for?

Really?

It's a sad situation really. This outbreak has exposed the cracks in the systems of most african countries. It is a wake up call. We have to learn to think into the future and invest in things that will equip and enable us to be able to deal with unforeseen situations such as this.

I'll list a few books. You may have read some of them already.
The contents of these books touch on self discovery, relationship, leadership, business and motivational.

(1) 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell.

(2) Winning With People by John C Maxwell.

(3) How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

(5) Why You Act The Way You Do by Tim LaHaye.

(6) Opposites Attract by Tim Lahaye

(9) The Secret To Winning by Jim Edwards.
(10) 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey.
(11) Outliers by Malcom Gladwell. I'm still on this one.

For business, I pick a business I'm interested in and try to find books (mainly ebooks) on the business. For instance, let's say I'm interested in owning a restaurant. I will go and search for books/articles that concerns restaurant business to know what is involved.
I saw a book on investment recently (can't remember the name now) and I plan on getting it.

Note: The books I have listed above are my own preferences. There are many other books written by different people on similar subjects. Also note that two persons can read the same book but it will have different effects on them because of their different ways of understanding

ogaofficer:
BOSS, can you pls open a thread listing diff types of book we can read on bussines, self-improvement, life etc. Better still you could recommend those books on this thread.

I can't start making a list of books now. I personally try to read any book that catches my attention as much as I can. Another thing I do is to search online for any good article on a subject that interests me and read such article. The idea is to read meaningful books/articles that will add value to you. Regardless of what you read, make sure it contains useful and meaningful information from which you can benefit from in the long run. You can go to any good bookshop and ask for books on any subject that interests you. Books on business, money management, family, economics, health or books in your chosen career. There are a lot of good books out there. You're the one to decide on your area of interest and then choose the books accordingly. Hope this is a satisfactory reply.

First thing i did after reading them all was to dash you my like straight up, how i just wish i could give-out more than one

Another thing i did was to give you a bumper to bumper follow right away.

This are the type of quotes one need to scale tru the huddles of life.

Now let me start picking them one after the other how i just wish i would be able to talk about them all

Good to know that you found the post helpful. Thanks for dropping by.

May his soul rest in peace.

Events like this makes us understand the brevity of life and what is important in life. Death shows us that nothing in life is permanent. Seeing how short life is, it becomes pertinent that we put the best into what we are doing right now. We should spend our time on the things that are really important. We should live our lives to the fullest, show as much love to those we care about while they are still
around. We should not leave important things for tomorrow...
We should live a life that is true to ourselves and good for others; a life that we can look back and have no regrets.

Take heart bro. Praying that you get a good job soon.

Whoever designed that is either being mischievously silly or totally ignorant of the facts on ground.
For some time now, there has been no reported case of the virus in Nigeria and there will never be any in the future by God's grace.

In fact, what do you expect from people who don't even know the location of Nigeria in West Africa?
Let's discuss more important issues please

Everyone knows that it has been politicized. The only way the opposition knows how to score points is by finding fault rather than proffering reasonable solutions to the problem

"We have confidence in those we are negotiating with but we are still doing it with considerable caution. Boko Haram has grown into such an amorphous entity that any splinter group could come up disowning the deal," he said.

"(But) we believe we are talking to the
right people."

Hope they are really the right people. These guys never really had a face. It's risky to trust them.
Let's just hope that all this peace talk is not a 'war' tactic to make the military and the FG feel at ease while they(BH) scheme something else behind their backs.

OK. You may want to read the comments on this thread.

@op not all tubarcolis infection can be cured. Their are natural strains which can be cured with drugs or herb over a long peroid of time while their are synthetic strains which can never be cured by any known drug excpt by miracle from God.
May God help us and protect us from such dieases.

True, there are cases of totally drug resistant TB which have been recorded in india (I do not know whether it is synthetic or natural). But the strains that are rampant in Africa are drug- susceptible and with proper drug therapy, chances of success of treatment are high. However, the focus of this thread is not on tuberculosis but on the need to properly handle illnesses (whatever it may be)

anonimi:
That is not likely to happen as this is a "click-driven" chat forum.
Better to use the "share" button and hope others will also further share the thread as I and three others have done so far.

Ok. Thanks for the advice.

If he's been like that all this time then it's probably his nature. He is wired that way. There is no cause for concern as long as you know he loves you. It should only bother you if he's like that towards you alone but if that's how he is with everyone else then there is no reason to worry. There are people like that. They hardly talk but that does not mean they don't care about their children/family. Sometimes they even wish they could express themselves better. You probably inherited your outgoing nature from your mum or a relative (i guess). Being an outgoing person, you can get him to talk a little more by trying to lengthen the conversation or bringing up topics that interests him. If you let him drive the conversation all the time, it's always going to be short because he doesn't have much to say.

Hmmm...

Watching...

Please move this topic to the frontpage. Thank you.

The Internet in itself is neither good nor bad. It depends on the way it is used.

Ilaje44:
Dont make the politicians as scape-ewure jare. Its about the whole society. Nigerians are generally unruly, less cultured due to societal decadence. Nairaland is a reflection of Nigeria. Censorship of harmless words, generally self-righteousness, abusive, ignorant, and purportly godfearing, but evidently ungodly populace.

true. Nigerians are generally uncultured but this thread is about politicians that's why I narrowed it to them.

Most Nigerians (politicians) lack sense of decorum. Their uncultured behaviour is one of the reasons people don't take us seriously as a country.
