very very true

i still do not understand why our media gives this man an audience

There is no month Dstv don't put there E16 even after payment. Don't care what they make but let them improve their sevice.
At this moment if there is another cable service which is better than Dstv I will rather take it than be paying for no service.

This is one sector that we need more competition or providers.

You demand a free and unattached life for yourself that allows you to determine your own
course. You have an artistic bent in your work or leisure activities. Your urge for freedom sometimes causes you to do exactly the opposite of what expected of you.

Your lifestyle is highly individualistic. You would
never blindly imitate what is "in"; on the contrary, you seek to live according to your own ideas and convictions, even if this means swimming against the tide.

I lost my dad to cancer and I understand how hard it is to see your love one slipping away and not even money can bring them back. If wedding makes her happy, I say do it.

Looking at all your children it shows that you have done very well.
Love you so much and wish you a happy Father's Day.

This is not a good thing but Must I must mention that same thing happened with Aero contractor plane departing Lagos to Abuja last week. I had to come down, refused to go them, bought another ticket wit Arik.
Thank God we survived it.

All the best to our troops and hope this BH situation will end soon in Jesus name- Amen.

what a show, it was a flop. and crying? please safe that for Jenifa part3.
first: the star of the show (the bar) Funke came one and half hour late and with a face
that is so disgusting and annoying, not even an apology for coming too late whilst attendee were left outside in the scorching sun.
Second: i am sure the organizers had to combine the 3pm and 7pm show because of the late start of the first show
i used to respect her but after (the bar) show, i now have a rethink and also know that whatever show organized
by last Sunday's team is better not attended.
i only regret buying the ticket- myschewwww, shio

Welcome idea, not only abandon vehicle.
What is Lagos doing regarding the dirt all over this city. I hope that one day the Government will do something about that.

why would someone do such a thing. its terrible.

Why should i do that. Its best to keep silent.

Time never reach for all this people to finish their talk? I no kuku understand wetin them they say with all them dogon turenchi....I go just tell them say committee will be formed jare. I no fit shout.[/quote]LOL big time

This our overzealous goverment workers. Na wa o.
Do it like they will complain, like that they will still complain.
I wont be suprise if this happened because the poor guy was not ready to give them part of it.

Nigeria overdo they kill us.

How this one take put garri for my pocket.

Wonderful

Sugar Ke, nawa o. dem go drink garri tire

:DNa wa o, some people are really observant.LOL

doctokwus: As painful& annoying as d story sounds,there are always 2sides to a story.Op wasn't obviously there wen d assault happened;let's not crucify d guy b4 hearing a truthful account of all dat transpired;d assault however,if found to av bn done not in self-defence is highly condemnable& d culprit shd b brought to justice

what rubbish talk. this can result to death.

ItsModella: Like seriously? There is absolutely nothing wrong with a married woman drinking alcohol. Like someone said earlier, moderation is the key. Alcohol has its benefits but when one drinks out of hand, that is when it becomes a problem. A glass of wine doesn't hurt neither does it put you under the influence (unless that is your first time). Besides, drinking is a habit one cultivates. A responsible drinker knows when to stop drinking to avoid getting drunk.

Abi o, tell them, hypocrite

Fine wife, cute baby

Chei, this pdp club win again. Nawa o

alajor: Emeka ike to me is beta,though I love them both. Give me a love story wit emeka and genevieve anytime, anyday.

Abeg, apart from looks. He acts better

Ramsey of course, handsome guy

Oga o, i feel bad for this man o.
However, if not for the new atittude of the suppose wife, its not so bad.
If there is love between them why not.

akigbemaru: This is not a factory to manufacture cars, this is a warehouse! I have seen it and it does not look anything like car manufacturing plants I have seen before. Nigeria can manufacture cars but we are too gullible to fall for the trick of Oyinbo man. All we have got to do is, stop the importation of cars and consult any foreigner car manufacture, but a franchise and give them our own brand of car with African or Nigerian names, all they have got to support us with is the dashboards for all the cars we are making. That is how is done oversea. If US for instance manufactures BMW, IT DOES not have permission to make the dashboard by itself. We just got to consult the Japanese to build those robots that weld anything iron on cars. From every dashboard the mother car company supply, they have their own percentage and that is to guarantee them how many cars are we producing. This will ease the stress of shipping foreign cars and import duties.

Nigerians. why can't we for once appreciate ourselves.

Nigeria no good, Nigeria no good and many people are still trying to naturalize.

[quote author=na2day!]This is an analysis that Stratfor sent me about the incident. Hamas started firing attacks into Israel, Israel was worried that Hamas would use its Fajr-5 rockets to attack Israel so they struck.

[size=13pt]Iran's Agenda in the Gaza Offensive[/size]

https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/para/images/hamas-rockets-2012-1.jpg


To begin to make sense of the escalating conflict in Gaza, we need to go back to the night of Oct. 23 in Khartoum. Around 11 p.m. that night, the Yarmouk weapons facility in the Sudanese capital was attacked, presumably by the Israeli air force. There were indications that Iran had been using this facility to stockpile and possibly assemble weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles, guided anti-tank missiles and long-range Fajr-5 rockets capable of reaching Tel Aviv and Jerusalem from Gaza.

One of the major drivers behind Israel's latest air and assassination campaign is its belief that Hamas has a large cache of long-range Fajr-3 and Fajr-5 rockets in its possession. Israel's primary intent in this military campaign is to deny Hamas the ability to use these rockets or keep them as a constant threat to Israel's population centers. This likely explains why in early October, when short-range rocket attacks from Gaza were still at a low level, Israeli officials began conditioning the public to the idea of an "inevitable" Israeli intervention in Gaza. Israel knew Hamas had these weapons in its possession and that it could require a war to eliminate the Fajr rocket threat. It began with the strike on the facility in Sudan, extended to the assassination of Hamas military commander Ahmad Jabari (the architect of the Fajr rocket program) and now has the potential to develop into an Israeli ground incursion in Gaza.

Analysis

Oct. 23 was not the first time Israel allegedly attacked weapons caches in Sudanese territory that were destined for Gaza. In January 2009, Israel allegedly carried out an airstrike against a weapons convoy northwest of Port Sudan heading to Gaza. The convoy included Fajr-3 rockets and was unusually large, with more than 20 trucks traveling north toward Gaza. The rushed shipment was allegedly arranged by Iran to reinforce Hamas during Operation Cast Lead. Iran was also exposed trying to smuggle weapons to Gaza through the Red Sea.

Though efforts were likely made to conceal the weapons cache at Yarmouk, it obviously did not escape Israeli detection. Hamas therefore took a major risk in smuggling the weapons to Gaza in the first place, perhaps thinking they could get away with it since they have been able to with less sophisticated weapons systems. Before Hamas responded to the Nov. 14 Jabari assassination, there were two major spates of rocket and mortar attacks over the past month. The first was Oct. 8-10 and the second was Oct. 22-24. When the decision was made to carry out these attacks, Hamas may not have known that Israel had detected the long-range Fajrs. Launching Grad and Qassam mortars may have been Hamas' attempt at misleading Israel into thinking that Hamas did not even have the Fajr rockets, because otherwise it would have used them. Hamas may have also erroneously assumed that launching mortars and short-range rockets, as it periodically does when the situation gets tense with Israel, would not lead to a major Israeli response.

By the time Israel attacked the Yarmouk facility, Hamas had to assume that Israel knew of the weapons transfer to Gaza. Hamas then quickly agreed to an Egyptian-mediated ceasefire Oct. 25. When attacks against Israel began picking up again around Nov. 10 -- including an anti-tank attack on an Israeli military jeep claimed by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and several dozen more rocket attacks claimed by Palestinian Islamic Jihad and smaller Salafist-jihadist groups -- Hamas appeared more cautious, calling the main Gaza militant groups together on Nov. 12 to seek out another truce. By then, it was too late. They had already inadvertently provided the Israelis with the justification they needed to get public relations cover for their campaign to destroy Hamas' long-range rocket program.

Related reports you can access with the subscription: Considering an Israeli Ground Assault in Gaza Attacks Continue Along With Efforts To Mediate A Test of Hamas' Authority in Gaza On Nov. 14, Jabari was assassinated, and Hamas had to work under the assumption that Israel would do whatever it took to launch a comprehensive military campaign to eliminate the Fajr threat. It is at this point that Hamas likely resigned to a "use it or lose it" strategy and launched Fajr rockets toward Tel Aviv, knowing that they would be targeted anyway and potentially using the threat as leverage in an eventual attempt at another truce with Israel. A strong Hamas response would also boost Hamas' credibility among Palestinians. Hamas essentially tried to make the most out of an already difficult situation and will now likely work through Egypt to try to reach a truce to avoid an Israeli ground campaign in Gaza that could further undermine its authority in the territory.

In Tehran, Iranian officials are likely quite content with these developments. Iran needed a distraction from the conflict in Syria. It now has that, at least temporarily. Iran also needed to revise its relationship with Hamas and demonstrate that it retains leverage through militant groups in the Palestinian territories as part of its deterrence strategy against a potential strike on its nuclear program. Hamas decided in the past year that it was better off aligning itself with its ascendant parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, than remaining tethered to an ideological rival like Iran that was being put on the defensive in the region. Iran could still capture Hamas' attention through weapons sales, however, and may have even expected that Israel would detect the Fajr shipments.

The result is an Israeli military campaign in Gaza that places Hamas' credibility in question and could create more space for a group like the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which has close ties to Iran. The conflict will also likely create tension in Hamas' relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Jordan and Syria, since the Brotherhood, particularly in Egypt, is not prepared or willing to confront Israel beyond rhetoric and does not want to face the public backlash for not doing enough to defend the Palestinians from Israel Defense Forces. All in all, this may turn out to be a relatively low-cost, high payoff maneuver by Iran.[/quote]This is interesting and I understand better now. Thank you for informing us. However,I doñt think that there will ever be any peace in that part of the world.
