If you follow Microsoft OS trend you will notice that.

Window 8 is just an experiment, like Windows Vista.

Windows 7 is the standard Version of Vista.

I will not advice anyone to buy Windows 8 OS.

Just wait for windows 9!!!

Before anything be aware I am not ignorant of the of the law attached to the status of foreign missions of countries. As much as I would like to rebuff the actions of the SA police force, unfortunately the Nigerian governments hasnt place herself in that position at all. Its funny quite seeing post from few Nigerians like rebuking the actions of another country's police on our foreign mission.

A country whose government has repeatedly failed to recognise the constitutional rights of her citizens, a government that does not have any plan whatsoever for the citizenry, a government that has repeatedly abuse the rights of her citizen to basic living.

Now a branch of this government has been abused by another country albeit forbidden under international law, I am all but happy to see it happen, only a lunatic would applaud the SA police if we have good governments in this country.

The country is seen as ---0 on the international front, the leaders cannot effectively communicate in English, bunch of old fools who know nothing about politics yet bribe their way in to swindle the ordinary citizens of this country.

And some of you are quik to take to NL to write about your knowledge about the Vienna diplomatic international law. I am more than happy to see them held hostage. Bunch of fools that has no knowledge about humanity and yet the citizens are happy to defend them when they have even failed to build an international reputation for themselves.

If our diplomats could be treated in such way how worse would an ordinary Nigerian be treated

See how ignorant you are ?

This issue got noting to do with corruption and human right.

IF every country behave the way of the SA Police, will their be any SA diplomat  in any country.

If you breach an agreement, then expect repercussions.

S'African is too small  to confront  Nigeria. Go check the records.

If we don't do anything, tomorrow Niger, Ghana will do the-same.

That why i like those military men.Go see what Abacha did the Cameron in BAKASSI.

@ emmatok, so it's good to compare ourselves with another corrupt country eh emmatok! seen your ideology isnt much different from the people at the rock then

You most be silly with such comment,

Where did you see me compare any country, aren't you the one justifying the invasion?

norrisman:
Too many dimwits on Nairaland shouting balance of trade,SA will lose more, Nigeria will lose more blah blah blah. Do you clowns really think trading will stop between the 2 countries over a minor diplomatic spat where the police didnt even manage to gain entrance. The police of a country can be called to a foreign mission when a crime is reported. I have seen the Met called to the Nigerian High Commission in London before. If the South Africans called the police and reported that they were being held against their wishes do you think the SA police are like your NPF that would take no action. Israel that is 10 times more powerful than your poo hole had its embassy invaded and ransacked in Egypt recently and heaven did not fall so much more a banana republic. Even when there are strained diplomatic relations between 2 countries, it is business as usual. Even with sanctions in place, the US remained a consumer of Iraqi, Iranian and Libyan oil!

I was in Nigeria a couple of weeks ago and every single official at the airport either begs you for money or tries to make your life difficult so you can pay your way out. On the way the airport, a policeman stops my friend, who although his car papers were up to date, he didnt have them in the car due to the car being broken into recently and all his personal effects removed. The policeman, realising we were on the way to the airport said we must follow him to the mobile court. In any normal country, in the absence of technology for instant verification, you should be allowed to produce the said documents once it can be established that tue car isnt stolen. To cut the long story short, we parted with N3500. At the airport, the first people I met, probably from the airline cos they were ticking some names begged for money. Then another guy who scanned the passport. Thank goodness he didnt beg for money. Then the customs, parted with N2000 for daring to export indomie noodles and cassava flakes (garri lol). At the check in counter, check in lady stylishly asks for money to put me in a window seat WTF  . Refused and accepted seat in the middle. There isnt much of a scene at 33000 feet. Then the guys at the entrance to the restricted area of the airport who check . boarding passes begged for money. Final one was the Nigerian Immigration Service who said to me I couldnt travel because my passport couldnt be fully read by their scanner due to staple holes on it made by an embassy I had applied to previously. Now this is the same passport I came into the country with 10 days earlier. Why didnt the slowpoke who scanned it on my arrival inform me of this so I could have arranged for a replacement. Of course he wont, I am more valuable to them on my way out of the country. While waiting in their dingy office, I saw them harrassing several Nigerians and Asians not because of a sense of wanting to do their jobs but because of what they could get. After half an hour in their office, I told the guy asking me what I want to do to bsettle the matter that I gave the customs my last Naira and he said he would accept foreign currency. I told him I had none and brought out my British passport and told him I wished to travel with that. He realised he had been defeated, this time around and mumbled some incoherent ish and gave me back my passport saying make sure u replace it before you come back home. I felt like telling him, I hope not to be back anytime soon! But I kept my mouth shut.

With me experiencing all this about 4 hrs, I wouldnt put it past the goons at the high commision in Joburg to demand bribes. They must have at one time or the other worked in some positions internally in Nigeria and like they say old habits die hard.

Your are the dimwit here, for showing how Inferior you are .

Are the SA better than Nigerians in terms of crime and corruption-NO

dalebutt1:
@ Justwise, yes u didnt see anywhere in my post siding with the SA police force, if the allegations are true, well its as bad as ransacking the embassy. I know they wouldn't try it even with Niger Republic. The ambassador must himself have left a bad legacy in the 1st place, if Nigeria interest had been earnestly protected in SA that wouldnt have happened.

People are not talking about the allegation of bribe at all, in as much as its bad to storm our embassy and I would want this be resolved in a diplomatic way and to be well assured that there would not be a repeat under any circumstance , its technically invading our country, but nobody wonders how demeaning our status on the international front is atm for SA police to have deemed it right to technically invade this country.

And I was urging the cashmentor person to have a civil discussion without throwing abuse when he wasnt even attacked in the 1st place

What nonsense are you typing here.

So it is OK the invade an Embassy for bribery, why can't the SA foreign Minister summon the Ambassador over the allegation.

I sure the SA foreign Minister wasn't informed by the Police before invasion.

klas:
So because somebody alleged that visa denial was because of bribe, it means he must be right and he is above making false accusation?

He said that visa had already been pasted on their passport but was cancelled by the official in annoyance because no bribe was given. Is that possible?

No embassy allows you to peruse your processed visa on its premises, you have to go out first. So how did the passports get back to the embassy officials for them to cancel the initial 'valid visa' and even seize the passports?  And if the passports had not been handed over to the applicants, How did they know the decision of the embassy?

The police that wanted to forcefully enter, were they going to arrest diplomats or forcefully retrieve the passports?

All the time SA had been denying Nigerian visas, why have we not been alleging bribery?

You just remind me of their VISA PROCESSING OFFICE AT IKOYI, those guys will treat you like shyt if you don't sort(bribe) them.

Yet they have the audacity to invade our embassy, when thier companies [b]DSTV, MTN [/b]e.t.c are making millions on our soil.

They are lucky OBJ is not in Power .

Some Nigerians supporting the SA  here are silly,

So because of an allegation you invade another country's embassy.

How i wish they try this with the US or UK embassies.

Nice

The only problem I have with you here is that these men are in the same work environment as you, things could really go messy unlike if you  all were  working in different establishments and at least separated by some distances, no matter how small. Some of us married men are not as bad as we are being portrayed here. So long as you're only  out to catch fun and nothing more, you're just fine.
I had a single girl in her early twenties then that I dated  for a little close tor 3yrs. She was not interested in breaking my home & I wasn't interested in marrying her either. It all started as the usual fun-seeking adventure but later turned out as an opportunity to help an indigent friend, her sibblings & her widowed mother. Today, she's happily married & all those gists about her dating a married man are now history. But the beauty of it all is that today, I feel so happy that I was able to positively impact the life of a fellow human who was less privileged.
As a married man, I'd rather date a single girl & find a way to make her useful to herself  in life than accept all these married women (some of whom are on this thread) who are even more than ready to spend their husband's money to get guys to lay them.
BTW, I started ssex outside marriage when I discovered that  my wife whom I didn't sleep with until the night of our wedding has a very low sex drive. While it is very normal for me  to do like 5 rounds a day, it is  a very big problem for her to meet up with this even in a week & I am not exagerrating here. The only option left for me to keep my sanity & my marriage was to seek satisfaction outside. Imagine the men in question here whose families are abroad while they live alone here in naija. How do you expect such men to cope emotionally?
In essence, some of you single girls  that are usually branded all sorts of dirty names in this kind of situation are actually nothing but innocent marriage-savers. So, follow your mind but pls don't double-date.
Best wishes[/quote]MUMU,

So you are proud of cheating on your wife and you want others to follow suit.

have you forgotten that this is nigerian politics.
If you release the money, they let you be.
Do you really think baba suwe hadnt any drugs?
Do you think bankole didnt take no money?
Do you think NAS can jail obasanjo?
Release the money and go free or keep it and be an ibori!
Nigerian politics ir not were block heads rally, its a very intelligent and deadly game.
The more you paint GEJ as a retardd, the more you are deluded.

Will the PDP collect bribe from Tinubu? NO.

The mistake you make here is that the ALMIGHTY PDP is yet to bring any concrete evidence against Tinubu.

Bode, Bankole, Ibori, Gbenga are all PDP politicians but GOVT can jail them because they have enough evidence.

Why is the ruling party PDP finding it difficult to prosecute Tinubu for the past 4 Years. NO EVIDENCE.

Tinubu is innocent until proven guilty.

ak47mann:
they don come againooooo

You no dey taya with these your Igbo-Yoruba warfare?

Orikinla:
If I tell you that majority of Nigerians are poor, because they are stingy, you may disagree. But it is true. 
Majority of stingy boyfriends become stingy husbands and being greedy deprives others of the means to be productive and even proactive. They are greedy and greed is the cause of the destructive corruption plaguing Nigeria. It starts from every relationship, as they say charity begins at home, so being stingy also begins from the cradle.

The boyfriend who does not give as much as he can now that he is dating you will even be worse when you become his wife.

Majority of Nigerian men do not know how to give.
They give like they are buying something from their girlfriends in exchange.
A typical Nigerian guy gives a girl money and he calls it a gift, but God in heaven knows it is not free.
The girls and ladies have also become such traders and also feel obliged to give something in return.

A relationship comes with a bargain!
Why should giving you money or another gift mean "I want to fork you"?
I like calling a spade a spade, even if it hurts like a blade.
So, Mr. Stingy thinks giving you money is actually a deposit for the bedroom or bride price.

I am sorry, but I don't like stingy people.
My parents did not raise me up to be greedy.
I believe absolutely in the Laws of Harvest and I have seen them working in relationships.
As you sow, so shall you reap now or later. Therefore, do not be afraid to give any girlfriend or boyfriend in need, whether when he or she is broke or poor.
Don't be upset even if the  person does not sleep with you.
Your relationship should not be defined by sex. That is, you should not use sex to bargain for his or her cash or another form of favour.

Once in a while, try to know more about your guy, by asking him to help another person in need.
If he gives only you and hardly gives to others, BEWARE of him!
The stingy man often likes to receive, but hates to give.
He is happy when he is eating from you, but sour when you are eating  from him.

The richest men on earth are the most generous. Check out their lifestyles. If you don't want to be miserable for the rest of your life, PLEASE, AVOID THE  STINGY GUY.

Whats your point,

Are you talking about giving in relationship or Philanthropy.

Giving in relationship  turns a man into a MUGU.

Philanthropy is the best.

Above all who are you to tell me how to spend my money.

The GOVT is still to be blamed for Fuel Subsidy.

Because GOVT is pays those Marketers for the fuel subsidy.

If you remove Fuel Subsidy today, these Marketers will still make their profit.

ZENON sales her diesel at Market price, we all know the how much diesel cost.

Homosexuality is not a criminal act. Two consenting adults engaged in any form of relationship is nobody's business. This is such a retrogressive law and it's no different from Sharia Law. Let this guys be. Are man-lover men disturbing anyone? are they the cause of all the problems facing this country?

Nigerian leaders should focus on more pressing matters than passing this type of silly laws.

And the sheer hypocrisy of Nigerian leaders is so outrageous. This statement is a good example

The Senate President, David Mark, had claimed that the practice was against his faith as a Christian They all worship at Okija shrine and consult babalawo and Sundays claim to be Christians. SMH

NA,

Homosexuality was a criminal act United Kingdom until 1967.

Till date must conservatives in UK and US still oppose Homosexuality.

Those liberals should leave Nigeria alone.

Nigerians should give the UK another IRANIAN TREATMENT.

Can you imagine this(UK) America puppets tell Nigerians what to do.

We do not need the UK in any way, they are here because of our OIL.

GOOD ONE SENATORS

Very soon these people with start fighting for BESTIALITY.

And why are you people replying bashr8 AKA south-east.

He's made up his mind, about the answer to his question.

For God sake the OP has trained three graduates, which some people (women) castigating her are yet to achieve.

The boy actions is not new, all he need is a lot of attention.

@op Whether he is 24 or 44 his is still your son, anything you do for his is for your future JOY.

So Don't give up on him.

So they actually expect AWO to feed them during the the WAR.

And when food got to them, they rejected the food, claiming   Awolowo tried to poison them.

And what happens to the money looted from CBN the by Biafrans .

Biafrans are simply angry, because the Awolowo didn't pull the Yorubas out of Nigeria during the WAR.

HMM,

So Ojukwu have no BEAF with Awolowo as some Ibo people will want us to believe.

He simple took a different path to save his people.

Awolowo, evidently, had a constant review of the Yoruba situation and took different path. That’s it. I don’t blame him for it. I have never done.

So why are some Ibo people whining .

MRbrownJAY:
bro Coogar, here are the points i am trying to get accross:

- each shopping trip, wifey was getting 1100Nairas directly into her own pocket (600+500), now it may be NOTHING to big men like you but, ask the guy who is raising a family under a bridge in Lagos, and i am sure you will get a TOTALLY different response.

- even if the OP is a stingy loaf, is that a crime to be careful with money you've work damn hard for (and earned)? yes many women would like us men to "make it rain" at the snap of a finger but some men are just careful like that. . . . . .again, each should decide what is best FOR THEIR LIVES/CASH STASH.

- YES!!! many unmarried and/or young men are irresponsible due to women, YES, I SAID IT!!!!!
listen to the words most of the women on this thread are spitting, we clearly understand why most 9ja men believe that without money they cant find love/happiness. so, these same guys will do anything for money (aka love) even armed robbery/yahoo yahoo/embezzlement etc

i will even blame the gov. looters/thieve's action on women. how else can a senator/house rep. take care of all his sugar babies and mistresses, if not by looting the country's coffers?! lol (i am just joking on this one oh!!!!)

- bro, what you and the ladies are clearly saying is that a 9ja man needs to be financially strong to DESERVE the total "steamy" package (if no gifts are handed then wifey wont be motivated with "extra" passion), then i understand why many men are ready to do irresponsible acts in order to get what most in the real world get for free. i also understand why the youths would believe that they NEED to get money at any costs, legally or otherwise!

- YES, "some" men like fairytale weddings, while ALL women do. many men would simply go to the registry with two witnesses, sign on the dotted line and be done with the whole charade, if they could.that would FIRST make them save on a whole lot of money and energy, let alone unnecessary stress!

- the only "basic" sex.ual performance that ANY man expects from his partner, IS HER ABSOLUTE BEST (AND DEDICATION) TO SATISFY US.
here is a clue: BONUSES should be to thank you for all the hard work that you have been doing through the year, DEFINITELY NOT an incentive to have you work harder that same day/week! do you see the difference?!

- i dont know about you but i expect my partner to be in the mood ALL THE TIME, and to give her best ALL THE TIME.
i would understand if she may not be in the mood "sometimes", BUT, if a simple mention of shopping spree can automatically put her in the mood then we have a SERIOUS problem of BULLSHIIIIT on our hand.

also you wrote:

BWAAAAAAAAAH!!! thats the biggest lie women tell weak men, in order to force them into marriage. there is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE between a married woman and one that you are living with (aka COMMON-LAW WIFE or DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP), none!
the mortgage is on both our names, the car notes too, we have a joint account for the household/holidays/kids/clothing/food and rainy days. pls care to tell me how it is any different?!
this is WAY passed the stage of "my house or her house".

how can you kick someone out of THEIR home? it's her home as well as yours. its her money in the joint account, as much as it is yours. make sense pls. as i said earlier, the fact that 2people aint legally married means absolutely nothing in this day and age (a verbal marriage is all that is needed).

again, you are assuming the OP: A) is wealthy[b] B)[/b] thinks like you and C) is flamboyant with money. . . . . .  like you. t[b]here is nothing wrong with being "stingy" or careful with money, if that is how you want to live your life. who are WE to demand that this guy suddenly become reckless with 1100Nairas. is it not HIS money?! shouldnt HE decide what is little change or not?
you may see nothing wrong in pinching coins through deceit but the poster DOES, and therefore cannot lower himself to his wifey's level by doing the same thing.[/b]

GREAT!!!

Where is BEAF

BOKO HARAM worked the PDP in the North, as Militants worked for PDP in SS.

Boko Haram leader’s revelation rattles PDP

Umaru Konduga AliFile
There are signs that the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has been unsettled by the revelation of the convicted spokesman of Boko Haram, Umaru Konduga Ali, that the violent Islamic sect was working for the party’s interest in Borno State.

The sect has claimed responsibility for the spate of bombings in Maiduguri and other parts of the North for nearly one year.



Ali, who bore the pseudo name, Usman Al-Zawahiri, had told the State Security Service during interrogation, that the sect had sent frightening text messages to judges at the Borno State Election Petitions Tribunal in order to intimidate them.

Besides, he had alleged that a PDP senator, Ali Ndume, was one of the sect’s sponsors.

The PDP had filed a petition against the election of Governor Kashim Shettima of the All Nigeria Peoples Party, shortly after the April general elections.

However, a national officer of the PDP, who spoke on these developments on Friday, said that with the revelation, Nigerians would have the impression that the party was responsible for the national security challenge posed by the Boko Haram attacks.

The source, who craved anonymity, said, "It is unfortunate. Though the claim cannot be said to be genuine, the mere mentioning of members of the PDP as sponsors of the group is damaging.

"Now, we have been painted as the one trying to undermine the government of President Goodluck Jonathan, who is our national leader.

"It is like we are the one working against our own government. It is a serious allegation, which may affect the impression that people have about us."

Following the threat, the election tribunal relocated to Abuja, where it delivered ruling in favour of the ANPP.

Al-Zawahiri, had pleaded guilty before an Abuja Chief Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, when he was arraigned and was consequently convicted.

Besides the election tribunal members, Ali said that the governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, and his counterpart in Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, were others that were threatened through text messages.

Other recipients of threat text messages, the former Boko Haram sect spokesman said, were Senator Sanusi Daggash (former Minister of Works) and Ambassador Dalhatu Tafida, Nigeria’s ambassador to the United Kingdom.

On Boko Haram’s relationship with Ndume, Ali, who is not literate in English language, alleged that some of the said text messages were written and sent to him by Ndume.

But Ndume, who has been in the National Assembly since 1999, and being tried for treason on account of Ali’s allegations against him, pleaded not guilty to the charges levelled against him.

While the image crisis arising from Ali and Ndume’s trial persists, the ANPP in Abuja told SATURDAY PUNCH that the development had vindicated it.

The ANPP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Emma Eneukwu, said the revelation had shown that the PDP was desperate to get power at all costs.

He said when the leadership of his party raised the alarm concerning the incessant killings of members of the party in Borno and Yobe states, some Nigerians thought they were crying wolf where none existed.

He said, "We said it before that the Boko Haram issue was a political mischief in the hands of some people. We lost a lot of our members in Borno State, including our governorship candidate.

"We cried out that some political leaders were out to kill and eliminate our members for political reasons. It was surprising that nothing was done by the security agencies then.

"Ndume was our member before he defected to the PDP. He was the Minority Leader in the House of Representatives under the umbrella of the ANPP.

"The mere mentioning of his name baffled us. But we are not worried because the PDP wants power at all costs. It is so bad.

"But we will continue to appeal to the people to be law-abiding and allow peace to reign."

The National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Prof. Rufai Alkali, declined comments on the issue, when contacted on Thursday.

"No, not now, we are going to talk later. But remember that the matter is before the court. So, let the law take its course," he had snapped at a briefing on Tuesday.

However, the Chairman of the PDP in Borno State, Alhaji Baba Basharu, in an interview with our correspondent, debunked the ANNP claim. He said the PDP must not be blamed for ANPP members’ killings in the state.

He said at no point did the party take over Boko Haram, adding that the killings were not an indication of the party’s collaboration with the sect.

He said, "Boko Haram’s grudge was against former Governor Ali Sheriff. They were against Sheriff, his government, his party and his people as well as warders and policemen, who they said killed their leaders."

On the linking of Ndume to the sect’s activities, he said the senator joined the party shortly before the election when he knew it would be difficult for him to realise his political ambition in the ANPP.

He, however, insisted that "Ndume is a credible person" and that the party did not believe the allegations made against him.

Though Al-Zawahiri had been convicted, Ndume was remanded in the SSS custody as investigations into his case had yet to be concluded.

But Chief Magistrate Oyewumi ruled that the senator should be allowed unhindered access to medical facilities and his team of lawyers. Ndume had earlier told the court that he was invited by the SSS on Monday and that he never thought he would pass the night there.

He had stated that he had prostate health challenges.

His lawyer, Mr. C.I. Nnaemeka, brought an oral application praying the court to admit his client to bail, being a serving senator, but the magistrate asked him to apply for bail formally.

The matter has been adjourned till December 6, 2011 for hearing.

LOL,

What is  sexual motivation?

Are this women claiming only men enjoying sex in Marriage?.

Outstrip:
You see how you just embarass yourself in public. I have said it time and again. If you people are tired of women and when I say you people I mean NIGERIAN MEN then you can as well try men. Abi. That way we will not hear your whining. Nothing attractive about whiny men and the bulk of you just do that. Whine Whine Whine.

Woman, why not make your opinion known, instead of whining because i mentioned FEMINISM.

Yes FEMINISM was created to give women special attention.

Today a Hard-working Married man can be ejected from his property by his Jobless housewife.

A woman can now sue your Bottom for intimate-assault if you looking at her.

I work with woman who claim to be Superior to men, give them a difficult task they immediately tell you it is a[b] man's job.[/b]

The unhealthy competition among the sexes was created by FEMINISM.

Poeple should get the news right.

Baba Suwe was never scanned at the airport, he was arrested on information.

The scanning toke place in LUTH, and NDLEA said they were not sure of the substance in him.

He later was taking a hospital in V.I where they pumped water into him.

Glo is really, really terrible these days and it's funny that this has been on for some months now without anything being. You are not able to make calls as they won't connect and even when they manage to connect, you either would not hear the caller or the caller wouldn't hear you. It's really so frustrating.

And as if the frustration is not enough, you see Glo networlk using some non-conventional numbers like 547174760, 5471690777 in  sending very provocative and unsolicited sms from some faceless individual like "can I be your friend?", "if u see me, u will love me", "can we meet today?"etc, Thank God for the understanding wife I have, otherwise, Glo would have landed me in big soup with her senseless text messages & calls
