@adconline

Well it is true mate, they're so many cars sold in the UK without airbags . If anyone doubts me I can post pictures and specs of some of these cars. Men the bottom line is SON has no business with this, if anything they have provided a choice to people who can't afford more expensive cars. My brothers its seems like u all making excuses for loving tokunbo or completely ignorant of how things work in a developed world. Sometimes people think that all is right in the western world, the reason they don't die like us is they don't drive like us and they observe traffic rules and regs. Besides sorry to say this but someone that uses the word falsehood in that statement u just made can't possibly be on my reasoning frequency so I'm just gonna let u and your illiterate thinking be.

Thank God for people like sultaan and freaky des that can see reasoning, them force anybody to buy.

@ ematok
I walked into a kia dealership , saw the rio wasn't what I wanted , made a decision to spend more and wrote a cheque for a sportage. That's how civilized people behave nt blame our disfunctional governmant for something they shouldn't ve involvement with. Its a free country and buy where your money reach

@ Manny Generators sellers are in cohorts with the FG and states are not allowed to produce electricity for themselves

@ Demola All the infrastructure bring investors that bring jobs, thats how they are affected. Who has produced 'anything' in Nigeria, who is your alternative? You must be on of those paid $1000 to go talk poo on blog sites

Illiteracy is a worse disease in Nigeria. There has been more jobs in Lagos than i've ever seen in my lifetime and I grew up there. Even before IBB ruined Nigeria

Unless you've been living under a rock, you won't know this

them force you to buy, If u want a car with more airbags go and buy a Yaris for 1m more. There have taken out the airbags to make it more affordable to you. You buy what u pay for, if the government says there must be airbags and kia puts in airbags in the rio the car would be about 2.5m. Then its still you that would complain that theyre ripping you off. Cars are similar priced in USA because it is assembled there thus eliminating the shipping and clearing costs and for Kia in nigeria to deliver budget cars they have to do away with some options in the car . Given that the rio doest have much in it the airbags seem the logical thing to remove( as car no go work without tyre or gearbox). Dont work for Kia but its only common sense, if u want something with more airbags go and but a toyota and stop complaining.

yes some women can have se.x with no string attached becoz they have learn not to attach se.x with emotion, most of those who have been hurt by man  also thats the reason wh.ores differ from non -whor.e women

yes some men kill themselves we aint saying men cant feel that too some do here we are dealing with ratio

remember by nature man are the hunters we programmed with some cushion to rejection

Could be either men or women. Depends on who invested the most (financially and/or emotionally), or who stands to lose the most.  I've discovered that women move on very quickly and without remorse or gratitude if the guy they broke up with is pretty much an 'average joe' in terms of money, status and all else. But they nearly die of heartbreak if the guy they broke up with is a very desirable guy (rich, etc.). When they remember all the awoof suya, isiewu, point-and-kill peppersoup, cash hand-outs, endless 'trips', gifts, rain of recharge-cards, gettaways to exotic places, and so on which they enjoyed from the guy. . .all of which made her the envy of her friends. . .they would nearly commit suicide when the relationship ends (unless she was lucky enough to meet an even 'bigger boy' shortly before or after the break-up).

@ OWOLAYEMO, and emmatok,  Did I not tell her to move on?. The issue here is not the advise but how they are stated. We all forget that one day we may need others help for directions in life.  Lets be reasonable but be frank.   quote author=medinatl link=topic=620927.msg7908700#msg7908700 date=1300110760]
This is just a 2 months old relationship,  u supposed to be in the honeymoon phase with a lot of chemistry. I'll suggest you move on or let him know you are one leg in,  one leg out.

This lady on this forum is not only the issue at hand. The kid in the mix is the only one am praying for in all of this mess. The ex-wife is not stable,  per what is stated in the story,  she is a cheat. The Guy himself doesn't know what he wants,  he may continue to cheat even when/if he gets back to is Ex-wife.

I agree with you my guy.
But it is too complicated to stay in such relationship.
Life is too short.She needs to foresee the dangers ahead.
It is not about what the guy wants. It is abut her own future.

If you read through the tread, you will notice where she said the GUY had other GF after his ex-wife.
I hope she will not be she will not be treated as those other EX-GIRL FRIENDS.

medinatl:
What kind of silly comments are this?

1. The topic stated Ex-wife. What is the definition of Ex-wife? to me it means they are not together anymore. Before you can call someone a home breaker, or an enemy of progress, it means the boyfriend will still be married.
2. Too many silly people giving unreasonable comments.
3. I love family concept too but lets not mix apples with oranges. The prayer is for a family to be together as one. But don't put the blame of a broken marriage on someone that was not even there when the ex-wife was banging 5-10 other people. If the poster is your sister, will u put the blame of the broken marriage on her?.

@Poster
1. Ignore all the silly comments about you being a home breaker, or enemy of progress.


2. The issue here is that your BOYFRIEND is texting another person behind your back. If he wants to communicate with his baby mama, he can do it in your presence with no string attached.

This is just a 2 months old relationship,  u supposed to be in the honeymoon phase with a lot of chemistry. I'll suggest you move on or let him know you are one leg in,  one leg out.

here is another link to Project Alert  Josephine@projectalertnig.org

Violence against women should be totally discouraged.

i tire for african men oooooo.

Hmmmmmm, na God go save us O! [b]

First, how on earth do people make comments and pass judgment, just by listening to one side of a quarrel?[/b]

Like the Yoruba people will say: "Agab O'sika l'ongbo ti enu enika d'ajo"! (Only a wicked elder passes judgment based on the story of one party to a quarrel)

On one thread, the story was about "Wives abusing their Husband" and the men have to seek Police refuge!
Here, one OP just salivate us with one story (a very one side story for that matter!) and everyone is going gaga!
I wont earn any "flowers" if l conclude that "there is no smoke without fire naah"?

If NL was a "family court" l guess the first thing a sensible judge will do is to ask: WHERE IS THE OTHER PARTY TO STATE HIS/HER OWN SIDE?
Well, not here in NL! I guess some people use NL as a way of getting their "kicks" and destroying the lives of gullible others

I dont actually mind that, its anonymous BUT l worry that there are some "Young and impressionable souls" on this forums, who read a lot of trash here and "swallow it" like its "Gospel Truth"!

I pity those kind people and at the same time, l feel sorry for them! Its for their sake that l would make this plea: DO (as in advice) UNTO OTHERS, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT TO BE DONE TO YOU, YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER!
Dont forget, what goes round will one day come around O!

Blessed are the "Peace Makers, they shall be called God's children".

Let us be reasonable and real, let us strike a "healthy balance" between "Sympathy for the oppressed" and "incitement to evil"!
Marriage is not the same thing or equivalent of "a fall-out between two platonic friends", especially when Children are involved!

I was expecting someone with brain-matter will ask the poster a few questions about the relationship like:
How long have they been married?, when did the fighting start?, what caused it?, Is any of them hot tempered?, Have they been fighting before marriage and if not, how long after did it start?, Are "matured" elders in the family aware and did they try to make peace?, Has the "core issue(s)" causing disaffection between the couples been identified?, Do they still think any "love" still exists between the spouses? Is another "party" (rivalry) involved?, Since two Captains cant command one ship, is any of the spouses ready to "mellow down" for the other? Are there alternative ways of "reaching an amicable settlement (even it is mere temporary separation) than involving all these "vulture-NGO's" who have no respect for the institution of marriage?, And many more pertinent questions

Dont forget that "breaking-up a marriage" does not just end there, it is a "life-long change" (and worst in most cases!) for the children who are not a part of the whole brouhaha! And its not all about "how much" you can get afterwards.
I guess you should refer to statistics about children form broken homes.

Just reflect: after all the work and toil of your life, is it not the same children, (with all the abuse and bad foundation that goes with a broken home), that will inherit you? (and probably fritter everything away in a year!)

Softly, softly, abegi!

bhusayor:
*sighs heavily* what a thread!, I just dont understand how harakiri or wateva typed all these and annoyingly, he sees it as display of intelligence. Its boring!. You gave your opinion from the start but you took this thread too serious later. Life isnt that hard, take things easy ,

*and before you and your 'ego strokers' come running your mouth again, why dont you all take a chill pill?

MeGaStReEt:

Katsumoto:
Without a doubt but unfortunately he is not seen as such due to his usual run-ins with Ndigbo.

Its a shame that some have tried to derail this thread in their usual manner because I think this thread could be very interesting with various adaptations of Bkbabe's anology. What I expected of some was a complete change of characters[b]. If you disagreee with GEJ as Napoleon or as Awo as Old Major, why not come up with another list of characters and state how you reached your conclusion. But as with all things human, those who cannot be creative must critise at all cost.
[/b]
With 6.5 billion on the planet, you will not find two people who are completely identical, yet some believe that an adaptation of animal farm or any other work, should involve like for like comparisons with regards to the message, the individuals, and the context. If that is the case, where do you find another USSR, Stalin or Trotsky? Try as you may, you can not compare the USSR with Cuba or China. You will not find 100% similarities between the war of liberation and the Bolshevik revolution.

PStylish:
@All Ndigbo
Most of you guys are just internet warriors. And you just catching fun taunting the Yoruba folks especially those who are not on ground in Lagos.
I will make clarify some issues for the avoidance of doubt:
1. Igbo demand for more representation
It is very provocative for Igbos to begin to demand for more political representation in Lagos by way of political appointment. It begins to look like blackmail and an attempt to assert unfounded/unproven influence.In Lagos, it should be Yorubas first, then others. Lagos is the melting pot for all Yorubas. And I dont think all Yorubas have been served yet.

2. Igbo contribution to the Lagos economy
The contribution of the Igbos to the Yoruba economy is being overhyped. The 80-20 factor comes in handy here. 80% of Igbos contribute only 20% to the Lagos economy while 20% of the Yoruba population contribute 80% to the Lagos economy. How does selling spare parts, cars, etc contribute in any significant way to the economy.
The average Igbo graduate would rather die a job seeker than set up a company or start a business. Most Igbo graduates lose every sense of enterpreneurship as soon as they become graduates. Most Igbos in business are not graduates.
This is not so with the Yoruba. Most Yoruba graduates set up businesses/companies  if they cant lay their hands on a good job after graduation. Go to CAC in Alausa and see the number of young Yorubas registering businesses. These are the real people contributing to the economy not some illiterate and half-illiterates selling spare parts et al.

3. On Lagos being built with federal money
Only the present day Lagos Island and Lagos Mainland were the federal capital territory. The remaining parts were part of the old western region. Even then these local govts have the highest population of indigenous Lagosians.
Hence, much of Lagos is old western region

4. The true population of the Igbos in Lagos
I will put the populations of Igbos in Lagos at 2million max. My estimate is based on the following:
*Faith Tabernacle is a 50,000-seater church in Ota, Ogun state. An anyone especially an Igbo man living in Lagos, if he were not told authoritatively, will assume the population to be 500,000 and he would have been very wrong.
*I assume all the 50000 worshippers in faith tabernacle are Igbos  residing in one local govt in Lagos.
*50000*20 local govts in Lagos gives 1,000,000 Igbos in Lagos.
*I then decide to add 1,000,000 extra.
* This brings the population of Igbos in Lagos to 2 million at most.
Its fairly large but looks like 20 million in the eyes of Igbos. A crowd of people always look more in number than their true number. It cant pose enough any threat to the Yorubas. I still insist that Tinubu's personal ambition of wanting to become Senate President pushed him to make those Igbo appointments he made in order to make him look like a nationalist.He was not under any pressure whatsoever and he was in his second term at the time. Now it has backfired. I hope Fashola does the right thing.

5. On future violence between Igbos and Yorubas
Igbos have a responsibilty to prevent any future violence with their Yoruba hosts by keeping to their legitimate business and taking their eyes of politics and political appointments. Pushing Yorubas to the wall can bring about a very deadly backlash and cause you to lose even the little you've got politically and economically. Yorubas may take sh.i.t for a long while but by the time they react it will be deadly. No doubt, both sides will suffer but at the resolution of the conflict, Igbos will suffer a very serious setback in all areas.The Hausa-Fulani founded and controlled the mile 12 market in Lagos pre 2000. After, violent OPC Hausa clashes, the Lagos state govt took over it. Hence, they lost their heritage.
Remember, the Gani Adams faction of the OPC is very deadly and uncompromising. If they could invade Ilorin to depose the fulani emir how much more Igbos around them. There is OPC in the north.

6. On Igbo agberos
I would say at this point that agberos are not equal to NURTW members. NURTW members where uniforms with their names inscribed on them. I have seen 1 or 2 non Yorubas in these uniforms. The real agberos do not where uniforms.The have no permanent base and they deliver their proceeds to Obas and Baales. Proceeds are usually shared among indigenes and they are usually indigenes themselves. I have never seen an Igbo in this category.

7. On Fasholas positive response
Dont be deceived, the governor of any state is supposed to be father of all. He will not vent at the Igbos in open. No leader should do that. Even in Plateau state, the governor still tries as much as possible to hide his resentment for the Hausa-Fulani and appear neutral even though he is cursing them in his closet and planning their fall.
But please dont start complaining when demolition of your "wrongly located" shops and  properties start taking place. Also, increase in taxes will not favour you guys.Since you wont go and meet Yoruba folks to verify if they've paid their taxes. I see agberos harass Igbo drivers and conductors daily especially when they refuse to pay owo ile. This is after they've paid park dues. LASTMA is a nightmare to Lagosians anytime anyday but some group feel it more.

Enough said for now. One love.
