I know, but i rather travel with a plane abeg

of course planes are safer, but boldness and an inquisitive mind leads to scientific innovation. Lockheed martin is trying to reintroduce the use of balloons in cargo transportation.

Jupxter:
People place less and less value on their lives thesedays

it is not a matter of placing value on life, it is simple science. helium is a gas that is lighter than air, same with hydrogen gas. before the invention of modern aircrafts balloons were actually used to fly from one place to another.

Chai! Some Nigerian youth with "akamu" brain. can't we be objective for once? I can't imagine how people are beginning to say nonsense without actually knowing what really transpired.
1. Is he the only one that passed there yesterday or has been passing there?
2. Are the people mad to just start pursuing after him?
3. have they been chasing others like that?
Let's learn to intelligently reason things through before we start ranting nonsense.

What sort of questions are u asking? Is it legal for anyone to engage on a dangerous road chase of another driver? So if in the course of the chase an accident had occurred and lives had been lost u will be asking these questions?

Vat comes mainly from companies. Absence of key factors of production makes the south east unattractive for industries. If you remove oil industry based companies from the SS, there won't be much in the SS. Ogun is faring well due to proximity to Lagos and lagos ports. What are the IGR and vat collection for Osun, Ekiti and Ondo states

vat is value added tax, it is paid by consumers and included at point of purchase, it has nothing to do with the presence of companies.

dandylass:
Oga what kind of website can someone create for #3000 & #6000 I'm discouraged immediately I saw this on the platform.

how about a website with about 5 static pages?

blaqoracle:
by their wailng, we shall know them. If you eat meat, shaki or kpomo; drink milk; wear leather belt or shoes, you are also a murderer, because you consumption pattern keep these so called murderers.

there are substitutes for all those things u mentioned most leather products these days are made of synthetic leader, so if the south decide to boycott cow products it will be fine.

whateverkay:
They are Nigerians and they have the right to graze their cattles in any part of the federation. Banning them isn't the solution, we need to plead with them and create an enabling environment for their business to thrive. After all, we can't live a day without eating meat

did u say we me d to plead with them? whao with people like u in this country this country will not move forward.

Neddyogu:
A faulty exhaust system Sir, since the engine was still running

well dat's a possibility, especially with all these our naija used vehicles, otherwise the passenger cell in a vehicle is supposed to keep out exhaust gas and some never vehicles even have an air filtration system.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Interesting!

An entire page worth of comments and no mention of spiritual causes, juju, magun, supernatural power ? What is NL turning to ? Are enlightened people finally taking over this site ?

_{(just in case you are tempted to spew an irrational and ignorant cause like those mentioned above, the first culprit in their death should be carbon monoxide poisoning)}

Update: I spoke too soon. See quote below

how does carbon monoxide get into the car? they are more likely to die from suffocation but the ac is said to be on.

Chuknovski:
what if they were murdered and put in that position, ( no doubts about the lovers thing) it beats my imagination to hear about people dying during sex, two of them for that matter is it suicidal sex

what is the probability that both of them just died at the same time? except there is some form of drug involved it looks fishy.

timesup234:
Own stocks? Funny dude who hears a word a run with it. Owning stocks is tied most times to your 401k. Now leave here this minute and go do a research on what the average American has in 401k. Whenever you see my comments just move on or you end up being disgraced like others.

whao! so much bitterness, better check urself bro. I didn't know u were an insane bitter mofo I would not have responded to u.

lazygal:
Itsxas if you are working for them if you look at It closely ,its more of slavery ..what I hate most is paying tax on my house That I bought withbmy own moneyv

are u aware there is something called property tax in Nigeria? it is just not enforced.

Imo1stson:
Nigeria has a lot of loopholes for easy money making. A bank manager in Nigeria could make 1million Dollar overnight through shady deals and you will be busy calculating 1,500 Dollar for him.

and is that a positive thing?

timesup234:
Bro we know you as an heavyweight when it comes to travelling section but most times you like hiding the truth. How many americans have$10,000 saved up? I am even talking about those with middle class jobs. Saving 10k is a milestone for majority of the country

Americans don't see savings the way Nigerians do, they would rather have their funds in stocks and various trust funds for their kids. u take savings as a measure of wealth, but the fact is that any liquid cash kept in a bank continues to depreciate on a daily basis so savvy and enlightened people tend to keep a very small percentage of their case in liquid form.

NONNYG:
back from ghost mode

Bro one thing you don't understand about America is that they don't have African man mentality where you save millions in the bank (bank doing business with your money and making cool cash). Americans enjoy life as if rapture will happen tomorrow, they already have everything running smoothly for them. So why saving? Forget about the issue of money in the bank for Americans cos they don't give a f** about that.

over & out

I taya for this guy, Americans would rather own stocks than have a huge pile of cash in the bank. most of them have investment managers for this purpose.

NONNYG:
OP , I totally understand that there's no place like home. But the way you make your point doesn't worth it, yes most of these guys in America do menial jobs yet they have built duplexes and has many Landed properties in Nigeria, this is called investment wise. Oh, you think they spend all their money in the states? Again I never saw where you mentioned social amenities like constant power supply, good road, health facilities, water etc. At least they pay tax and enjoy what the money is being used for. Please don't be biased in your judgement. Thanks

thank u those folks pay taxes and see the benefits of their tax in the society.

timesup234:
Even a senior RN with an annual salary of $75,000 in America can't be compared to a Bank Manager in Nigeria. Enough with their ridiculous joke!

a bank manager can only build his two houses in Nigeria and have his investments in naira, if he attempts to take his money outside the value will fizzle out very fast due to conversion rates. however the person earning $2000 can also send his money to Nigeria and have 2 houses and similar investments withe bank manager.

martha89:
What is Yoruba in these pictures?

on the contrary it is traces of Edo culture that can be found in Yoruba tribe, don't forget that the influence of Benin empire spread far over a vast area including part s of western Nigeria and even to delta and asaba.

OlujobaSamuel:
it will never gulp such amount monthly even if it comes with its cost.
are you insinuating that maintaining an ipp is more expensive than national grid/generating plants at #20m/monthly?
I seriously doubt that cost of maintaining ipp is much more than that of generating plants as most firms in the manufacturing sector and livestock farming are now opting for it(for those thaf have the capacity)
Our institutions should start solving technical issues within, that way, they build the society.

of course national grid is cheaper than IPP, the only reason people opt for IPP is because of the unreliable nature of the national grid. mind u that that 20m claimed by Babcock may not only be NEPA, it will probably also include cost of running generators when there is no public supply.

Zhahovic:
Which one is that wearing something like Hijab?

I think it is for those in Edo north with a large Muslim population.

captainbell:
it is wrong to generalise and say "Edo bride" Edo state has a lot of ethnic groups and divisions and not all of them dresses this way. I'm from Edo state and the part i am from our brides don't dress this way during wedding. be specific and say "Benin bride".

why not upload pics of how brides dress in your tribe.

OlujobaSamuel:
the initial cost might be high, but at the long run, it's favourable. 240m in 5yrs is 1.2bn, that should give them an ipp that will cater for their needs.

am not talking of the initial cost, but the recurrent cost. if they go with gas, we know how volatile supply can be, if they go with diesel it could get v expensive buying diesel to run the plant .

chukzyfcbb:
20million = school fees of 20-25 Babcock Students.

and you have over 3000students, so I don't see why you are crying oga Vc. Money deyyyy

but sch fees is not monthly, it is usually per session.

OlujobaSamuel:
that's #240m in a yr, the sch should build an ipp for their use.
all dis our schools that cant even solve internal problem, yet them dey produce graduate for external problem, it is well oo

so what will they us to power the IPP? gas ? diesel? they still need to buy it. and it might even end up costing more, except they go with solar or wind, assuming they have a conducive space.

if you miss nko? Na the TV go gboah!!!!

so u value the TV more than the kid? na wao.

nnokwa042:
if u hate Indians d way I do ahh, wetin dey vex more about dem na say dem go come Nigeria dey form oyibo for us I no blame dem na abokki people wey dey watch dia yeye Bollywood I blame

I swear aboki like Bollywood movies, I no know why.

mgbadike81:
mostly of them would move to neighbouring States of Enugu and abia and constitute menace to the locals.

can't those other states pass their own laws?

Daeylar:
I'm telling you

no one is stopping you from practising polygamy. there are other religions which permit it, but before you go ahead take a good look at most folks who have polygamous families, aside from Christianity most polygamous homes are full of rivalry, strife and disunity. if u can cope with that then go ahead.

Danladi7:
Get a good history book.

Ilorin was never conquered by jihadist!

it was. u are the one who needs a good history lesson. there are different types of conquests. conquest must not necessarily come from open warfare. if it was never conquered how come the present dynasty is that of a Fulani lineage when we know that illorin is historically a Yoruba community? and how was the Fulani hegemony able to take over from afonja was it a friendly handover? are u also aware that aluimi was one of the flagbearers of Dan fodio in the sokoto jihad? it is even shameful that while other communities put up stiff resistance and in places like Bornu( old kenem Bornu empire) they actually defeated the jihadists, illorin was unable to put up any form of resistance and infact was one of the easiest conquests by the jihadists.

MrMcJay:
Would South Africa allow Glo to do the nonsense MTN is doing in Nigeria?




That's what is called "image laundering". It doesn't deny the matter on ground, it just seeks to toss a Red herring.

what has Glo( our indigenous company) done by way of charitable social projects apart from doling out millions to celebrities? whether u people like it or not they are still the best telecom operator in Nigeria.

MrMcJay:
Picture 1 is Golden Plaza in Falomo in Ikoyi.
Picture 3 is in Victoria Island off Akin Adesola.
The other 2 pictures aren't MTN headquarters.

FYI, Golden Plaza doesn't belong to MTN, they are tenants there. MTN is such an irresponsible company that 16 years, 5 months and 7 days after it came into Nigeria, the headquarters is still in a rented Plaza.

MTN comes into Nigeria, makes billions of dollars here, moves it out of Nigeria through Stanbic and our National Assembly lawmakers are afraid of clamping down on this economic robbery.

The problem is that when MTN hires sound lawyers to defend them, is it people in the National Assembly like Dino Melaye that would reply MTN? Dino that can't even write a single paragraph without falling into grammatical epilepsy.

when foreign investors come into an economy it is expected that they repatriate their profits to their home countries otherwise there will really not be any need for them to bring in their funds to invest. even our diaspora citizens repatriate funds home even though they don't have tangible investments in their host countries.

Opakan2:
Jonathan na bastard I swear..

How are we even sure the fool is educated.
Upon all the things wey money fit do eg. Ogoni lands cleanup and more, all the impotent man could think of is theft of such magnitude.

Such a shame

did u even read the post before commenting?
