lateef4me: @Gbawe,pls ,can you answer this question with all sincerity ? Who killed Funsho William ?

Lol, if a non-PDP member had killed Funsho he would have been caught and disgraced.
Ask OBJ and Obanikoro.
We all saw how Funsho's wife was denied her hubbys ticket.
So PDP killed Funsho.

Abrantie: Do you know how easy it is to get one of those? They get handed out like candy with no proof.

Hahaha
Nairaland don kill o.
But its the truth.

jidegirl12: I give those kids 1 more year max and their Dad will be history ........ or you think their mom will be celibate till December? Mtcheww

Are you saying another man will replace their dad.
Even if she remarried, those kids will always look for their father.
The man needs to be patient. Time will come when the kids will choose their father and no law will hinder.

Both parents should take the blame not only the MAN.
That woman must be one of those brain washed feminist, who thinks they must always milk the man.

watchinglagos: If it is a federal road then it is a plus for the state government. The gutter along that road is also being cleared. However, satellite town close to that road is a federal government estate that has been neglected just like festac and other federal establishments in Lagos. Pictures of those areas will be posted soon

Most of those residents are actually against Lagos state government.
Remember the LAND USE CHARGE case. Festac residents took the LA SG to court claiming the place belongs to the Federal government.

Case33: When u don't feel like loving ur wife anymore, nothing she does pleases u, u even tell her to her face that she can't arouse u,that u determine when to be aroused,u love chatting on ur bb more than u love talking to her, u prefer reading NL comments n laughing hysterically alone instead of chatting with her, she tries all she can to please u,yet u can't be pleased,her very presence irritates u even when she's done nothing wrong.....what next? Meanwhile u r supposed to be wedding in church in less than 3months,do u call off d wedding or simply go back to d court where u were wedded n annul it? Or just continue to hope dt u will eventually change ur attitude towards her n love her again d way u used to? Sincere advice needed pls!

Guy though I might not believe in relationship love.
I believe in RESPECT and APPRECIATION.
If you cannot respect her and appreciate what she is doing for you, the call off the relationship.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]How do you expect him to know when he's stucked in some rural village without electricity ? its a shame that he's even defending the patching one of the busiest road in Nigeria.Lagos-Apapa needs total re-construction not patching.[/quote]No mind them jare.
They don't even know that small Navy town road belong to the Federal government.

taharqa: SHUT that yr sillly mouth there u shameless HYPOCRITE. The FG already gave that road to Julius Berger and one other company, and JB was doing a fine work reconstructing the road until budgetary constraints (funding) made them slow down the job and finalli stoppd it. Another body, FERMA, reluctantly starting providing sm palliative work on the road pending when funding issues bw d contractors and the FG wud be resolvd, and many of u paid goons (esp u ijiot) were mastur.bating all ova d thread calling it 'patch patch' work; now, Fash is doing SAME TIN and u hypos are asking us to 'celebrate' the feat, calling it 'fixing' the road dis time.... OKPEEEee..

Mum

So you to don't know the difference BTW Apapa express and Navy town road.

kulyie: ehen this na man.na the type of men we dey talk be this,not all the lazy ones that will be whining about their responsibilities.@ poster that is what you men were born to do,afterall,carrying a baby for 9 months in a womb is not a childs play.for 9 months you will change your eating patterns,clothes,your body will change,your mood will change,antenatal every now and then,e easy.after you born am finish you go mother am till pikin mature,e easy? We women dey do our own we no dey whine,i nor no why you people con dey whine

You talk as if you're forced to pregnant.
The last time I checked some girls don't know who own their pregnancy.

Sincere 9gerian: When FERMA was doing THIS SAME THING on bad portions of Oshodi-Apapa road, they called it "patch-patch" and insulted GEJ. Some went to the extent of calling for another "occupy Nigeria" protest to sack "clueless" Bro Jona.

But now that the Lagos state govt is doing THE SAME THING on another road, they called it "fixing" and showered praises on Fashola. Already they'v started littering everywhere with "Eko o ni ba je"
Hypocrisy dey smell!

You don't seem to know the difference between Apapa express road and that Navy town road.

@post

Is Nigeria a race?
Is using the word GHANA MOST GO on a Ghanaian a rasist slur.
We should stop being sentimental here.
The teen need to apologize for stepping in her and stop responding to her insults.
Even in Lagos here you might get a slap for stepping .

all4naija: The one in bold is laughable but can be possible though(at the very slimmest chance). The UN must hears about what the provocation is for at this point in time,if such happens, when Russians are the culprits.

Jeez! You are infuriating me, dude!

I don't want to hear anything from those bedwetters who always go against American surveillance in the Persian gulf!

I understand your patriotism but face the reality.
If they were actually smuggling weapons why didn't the government go after the buyers.

It will be more embarrassing if those Russians open can of worm on our government, cos the might actually know those buyers.

@all
It is the registry's date.
Embassy, government and corporate organizations do not recognize the traditional and religious wedding.

The registry makes the marriage legal.
This is modern times.

No Sanusi is a Public Servant he is bound by law to answer.

[quote author=*solid*]Happy New Year peep.

In d past year, we all have witnessed how ridiculous amount charged by non professionals and newbies have had negative impact on us the professionals and the Website Design & Development Profession.

Personally on several occassions, I have been seen as a person who charge exorbitantly or "just to expensive" with clients siting exampls of other website designer who charge just 10-25k for a website (but we all know what they get at d end-frustration). This actually made me loose some jobs or in some cases, I've had to just consider and do jobs at give away price. But on a particular occassion, I literally walked away due to the clients manner of approach.

If we intend to have good stories to tell at the end of 2013, then, we all must agree to charge a basic/standard fee of not less than 50k for a 5 page website. Cos if we charge less, how much will your service charge be? I charge 20k for yearly hosting and domain name.

I believe we want to live above average life. Lemme hold it here for now.[/quote]Abegi stop these nonsense.
I designed my personal site using GNBO template with .ng registration at 1500K per year.
You can't control people carrier with your dirty schemes.

WHY PLAY WITH A SEPARATISTS REGION.

NIGERIA I HAIL THEE.

PhysicsQED: emmatok, the Bini were not "highly heterogeneous", unless by "highly" you somehow mean "barely."

Well `highly' might be an exaggeration.But a tribe with links to major tribes is Too heterogeneous.

We need to differentiate BTW the, EDOs and Binis.

Jimtext: @ Alex, you need to learn a little bit of history. Someone once said that A man who ignores learning loses the past and is dead forever. What Ezeuche said is a mere statement of historical fact. Ezeuche did not write the history and I am not sure you can rewrite or retell history. Ezeuche merely said the influence of the Binis can be felt across the whole of Southern Nigeria. I've got a couple of questions and suggestions, of course, I believe you are someone who honestly seek knowledge and information and would diligently interrogate any question. Did you read 'Ovonramwen No'Gbaisi' a play written by Prof Ola Rotimi (A Yoruba Prof)? It has an account that even as recent as the late 19thC, the Binis still exercised sovereignty and controlled Akure in modern Ondo State. If you studied West African history, you would realize that the Benin Empire at its height controlled a vast territory across the tropical rainforest belt on the West Coast of Africa from the Upper Niger in Idah/Nupe Kingdom, in Northern Nigeria to the River Niger in Asaba in the East, to Eko (now Lagos) and Dahomey (now Benin Republic) all along the West Coast of Africa in the Bight of Benin on the Atlantic Ocean. If you studied law, you would read a book titled 'Nigerian Land Law' by Prof Ben Nwabueze where he stated that the word 'Eko' is of Benin origin and was given to Lagos by the Binis. Even Asaba got its name from a statement by a Bini war expedition team "Aisaba lo'ona" meaning "we can't cross this", referring to the mighty river. The Urhobos, Itsekiris, Isokos etc and most of the ethnic groups in the Niger Delta either trace their origin to Bini or were once a suzrain province of the Benin Empire at one time or the other. In 2011, I was in Naija and was watching a traditional Ibo ceremony in Onitsha on TV and one of the Chiefs was being interviewed about the history of the people and their cultural practices. He traced it to the Binis. Even late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe confirmed this while he was still alive. The Binis were expansionists naturally, and the Benin Empire prospered and fought several expansionist wars especially during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The Binis merely took advantage of the strategic geographical location of their capital to control access to the sea (Atlantic Ocean). No traders from the hinterlands were allowed to trade with the Europeans on the Atlantic Ocean without paying custom duties to the Binis. This, in addition to the export of slaves capturd in wars of expansion gave them economic and military might to expand the vast Empire. That strategic location of Benin City (linking the East to the West, and the South to the North)is till vital to the survival of trade and commerce in modern Nigeria. Unfortunately, the Binis did not stop expanding and it was part of what contributed to the decline of the Empire before the Benin-British War of 1897 finally put the nail in the coffin. Go read up a bit of history, culture and you would realize that it is not for no reason that Benin continues to resonate across the world in terms of arts and culture as the cradle of Black Civilzation. The Portuguese made an interesting statement in the 1400s when they first visited Benin City. You might wish to find out what they said.

More importantly, I was very surprised about what I discovered during the, I think it was 2007/8 Eleko Festival. During the festival, there was a section where journalist interviewed some prominent members of the royal family. One old woman gave an oral ccount of the history of the royal family on the Lagos Island. And I was shocked when she said that her progenitors, the Obas on the Island were descendants of the Benin Royal Family. She was also very exact on specific traditional titles, ceremonies and rituals and how they came from the Benin Royals. Sometime that same week, I read in a similar account of the origin of Eko, its traditional rulership and cultural practices in a local newspaper that covered that year's ceremony. The Bini's are not even interested in claiming Lagos, not even if they could. But facts are sacred and should be treated as such no matter how muuch we wish the contrary. The Benin Empire was what it was because acquisition of territory back then was by conquest but that is not so today. "

The word BINI is a Portuguese.
Ibinu is Yoruba/Itsekiri.
Bini is a highly heterogeneous society with links to major Southern Nigerian tribes.

Omexonomy: for ur own good and for the good of children unborn stop believin saharareporters they are full of lies

So is the video false?.

Prof Corruption: Death knell on whatever is left of Achebe's much criticized memoir.

I have always wondered why the Igbos blame AWO for the war .
You will noticed how they deliberately ignored GOWN and OBJ.

Dawdy: We, Yorubas are not going to involve in any war.

100% sure you are not Yoruba.

kettykin: Actually the Origination of tribes is one thing which is important and needs careful research but the Destination of Tribes is another thing which people rarely pay attention to and rarely discuss . All great Nations Migrated from somewhere and found them selves in another place in search of food , safety , water escape from Aggression e.t.c

To avoid mistakes such as being swallowed up by more aggressive and rapidly growing tribes some tribes need to check their directionlessness, a report has it that by 2050 the whites in USA will now be a minority Tribe in the US by 2050 because of Declining birth rates of whites and rapid growth of the Birth Rates of Minorities.

Bringing it over to Nigeria the rise in the Death Rates in the North because of Self inflicted Mutually Assured Destruction oare dead and a lot more thousand will die out of over zealousness of religious Bigots like BOKOHARAM. The Northern Minorities specifically the Beromites and the Little christian tribe Margi in Yobe and Borno should take special note of their Declining populations.

The Rapid rise of Inter Tribal Marriages and Low value of Marriages (rise of the Adulterous Brides) of people in the South Western part of the Country will Gradually erode the essential 100 % yoruba Blood leading to Diffusion of Yoruba Blood with Fulani Blood , Hausa Blood and igbo Blood ( This people don't Cherish Purity of Blood) . As little as it sounds this was the very thing that Nailed the Jews in 1939 Adolf Hitler was a JEW DESCENDANT!!!.
Nazi official Hans Frank suggested the existence of letters claiming that Alois' mother was employed as a housekeeper for a Jewish family in Graz and that the family's 19-year-old son, Leopold Frankenberger, had fathered Alois http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler
The possibility of having a Die hard Fulani/Yoruba or Yoruba/Igbo getting a powerful political post in Future like being president or Governor of Lagos and using that Platform to finally put a nail in the Poilical and economic Fortunes of Yorubas exist

For the people of the East the Migration and of Large number of Igbo Families to Developed Countries in search of Greener Pastures and the Lack of Emigration back to the Home place after the Greener Pastures has been found will gradually lead to Tribes lost in Diaspora. Some Diasporan Igbo boys now Marry white ladies to legitimate their stay in Germany, China Japan and other Countries of the world. And those who come back to marry Igbo girls do not have future plans of making it back to the East leading to Loss of Lineage among igbos Folks little wonder there was a study which says igbo language will cease to exist by 2050.

The Minorities apart from the Ijaws will need to at least encourage their Boys to marry from their Tribe to prevent their Tribes being swallowed up by Bigger Tribes this is happening to some small tribes which are getting smaller by the day . The Binis,igede,Margi,Gwari and Efik need to take note.
The Ijaws are no longer a Minority Tribe but a careless political mistake by 2015 can still down grade them to a sub Minority Tribe no thanks to the infighting between Jonathan and Asari Dokubo, 2 adults who should know better not to wash their Linen in Nigeria Political Public Market.

Your intellectual post was destroyed by your Bigotry.
So its only Yoruba women that indulge in Adultery.
When did marrying from other tribes become Adultery.
And how will this mixed blood destroy the Yorubas.

la furia: wife file divorce, husband pays huge fine, husband files divorce, the husband still pays huge fines.... well even though they lose big sum of money, they are still wealthy.

The man always lose in the west.

Israel and idolatry.
Yet some will be critical of African religion.

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]And another thing- how come this made front page so quickly? ......and headlined with Senator Anyanwus' version of the event; i thought it was the Governors word against hers, so how come Nairaland is taking HER version of events over his?

The thing is that the Govt Media man admitted their was clash.

Chime should be impeached ASAP.
He lack the ability the rule.
Only Sycophants will disagree.

Nigerians thinking, when SLS criticised the Unions they hailed him.And when he criticized GEJ government they bash him.

Some countries do not have written Constitution and they doing better. E.g UK.

geekinthelead: By Cyril Ozor

ENUGU – Gunmen Wednesday shot dead a US returnee, one Ogbo Edoga, in his home town at Aku, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State.

Report said the economist was trailed to the house of one of his kinsmen, from where the two assailants, accosted him and shot him at point blank. He reportedly died before reaching the hospital.

Family sources said the deceased returned to Nigeria to attend a meeting of Nsukka professionals based in United States,geared towards raising funds for the construction of an ultra-modern medical diagnosis centre to be built at Ede Oballa community in the area.

Eye witnesses said the killers had asked the deceased ‘where is the money? But the soft spoken Financial economist reportedly knelt down, begging his assailants to spare his life, only for one of them, said to have been armed with an AK 47 rifle, to release several shots around his waist after forcefully snatching his waist band.


The assassins were said to have escaped in a car belonging to a retired senior officer of State Security Service SSS who was passing by.

The incident, threw Aku community into pandemonium , disrupting programmes lined-up for the day, which included a reception for an indigenous priest and the dedication of a structure built by the deceased’s twin sister’s husband.

Following this development, security has heightened in the area ,as a combined team of Military men and policemen have mounted surveillance and patrol all over the area in search of the killers.

Meanwhile, the Assistant Commissioner of Police in-charge of Nsukka zone, Ros Hamson Aladu, who confirmed the incident, described it as assassination . He therefore, urged all returnees in the area to quickly apply for police protection.

Apply for Police protection ha ha.

hardychris: Why all this ranting? We d people of Enugu state are not complaining @list we can see his good works and he is never a stooge ok.
He is strong for all I care[color=#006600][/color]
