I can imagine the agony of lagosians who work on the island and live on the mainland. Before this renovation work, the traffic situation was hectic, how much more now that the road would be closed. I think we all should learn from this and imbibe the periodic maintenance culture.

Moondust,

A GREATER PERCENTAGE  OF NIGERIANS ARE HONEST INDIVIDUALS WHO WANT TO MAKE AN HONEST
LIVING FOR THEMSELVES.  NIGERIA IS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER  COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. YOU HAVE GOOD AND THE BAD.
I BELIEVE FROM  AVAILABLE SATISTICS (FROM EFCC)  ONLY A LESSER % OF NIGERIANS ARE CORRUPT.

THE PUBLISHED LIST OF CORRUPT NIGERIANS RELEASED BY EFCC  LISTS ABOVE 1000  NOTABLE NIGERIANS WHO ARE CORRUPT. THIS FALLS FAR BELOW THE 99% YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

MANY NIGERIANS ARE MAKING A CAREER IN SHELL
                                                                    AGIP
                                                                     CHEVRON
                                                                      MOBIL
                                                                      MTN
                                                                      GLOBACOM
                                                                      CELTEL ( I AM ONE OF THEM)
                                                                      IGI  INSURANCE
                                                                       HALLIBURTON
                                                                       OIL DATA
                                                                        OIL SERVE
                                                                        VIRGIN NIGERIA
                                                                         NNPC
                                                                        DPR
                                                                        ZENITH BANK, ECOBANK, UBA, BANK PHP, STERLING BANK,OCEANIC BANK ,   TINALPA, ZINOX TECHNOLOGIES,  LNG , CISCO SYSTEMS,  NICON INSURANCE, DHL, ABC TRANSPORT SERVICE  E.T.C. ALL THESE  ORGANIZATIONS EMPLOY NIGERIANS.
FINALLY   WHEN THE  RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD BILL GATES  IN 2001 WANTED TO LAUNCH  WINDOWS XP. HE CHOOSE A NIGERIAN  COMPANY ZINOX AS THE FIRST COMPANY IN THE WORLD TO LAUNCH HIS PRODUCT AHEAD OF IBM AND THE REST. QUOTE  "Zinox is the first authorised computer manufacturer in the world to launch the latest operating system the Microsoft WINDOWS XP". The company has passed the Microsoft Quality Laboratory Test (MSQL), Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) certified by Microsoft and Intel, Zinox stands out as the first branded computer in Nigeria.
CHECK THIS SITE FOR CONFIRMATION  http://www.nigeriabusinessinfo.com/zinox201101.htm
PLS IF BILL GATES HAS FAITH IN NIGERIA , I DONT THINK ANYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BADMOUTH NIGERIA  WITHOUT PROOF/ EVIDENCE.

83% or 99% . These are lies from the pit of hell. Nigeria is not perfect. Even the U.S is also not perfect. BUT 83% OR 99% OF NIGERIANS BEING CORRUPT IS A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL.

I MAKE A PREDICTION THAT THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA IS BRIGHTER THAN EVER. MARK MY WORDS.

E GO BETTER.

I AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS SOMTO13. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT 99% OF NIGERIANS ARE CORRUPT.  WE AS NIGERIANS SHOULD THINK POSITIVE.  

AS FOR YOU HEYMA,

YOU MUST FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED. ANSWER MY QUESTION OR LOG OFF. STOP INSULTING PEOPLE.

I MEANT TO SAY

ALL YOU ARE DOING IS MAKING ENEMIES IN NAIRALAND. YOU CAN AIR YOUR VIEWS WITHOUT INSULTING PEOPLE.BE A MAN STOP BICKERING.

AGAIN
MR heyma ,
ITS A PITY THAT YOU AVOID THE REAL ISSUES AND ALL YOU DO IS CALL ME AND ROMEO NAMES . I ASK YOU AGAIN LIST 5 MILLION NIGERIANS THAT ARE CORRUPT . IF YOU CANT THEN HOLD YOUR PEACE. STOP MAKING NOISE HERE. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT YOU CANNOT FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED.

DIS GUY,  

I AM AN HONEST INDIVIDUAL.  IF  pastor ayorinde whom  i have heard of sells his 'anointed' face towel for £100, THEN  HE IS ONE EXAMPLE OF A CORRUPT NIGERIAN PASTOR. AS FOR MATTHEW  HE DID WELL BY TELLING PEOPLE TO DREAM BIG . THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IN IMPROVING THE STANDARD OF YOUR  LIFE AS LONG AS YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT ROBBING PEOPLE OR 419ING PEOPLE( EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE). BY THE WAY I SOMETIMES BY SHARES IN THE NAME OF MY REGISTERED COMPANY NOT IN MY NAME FOR THE PURPOSE OF BEING ANONYMOUS. THATS WISDOM.ITS NOT EVERYBODY THAT NEEDS TO KNOW  HOW MUCH YOU HAVE. PEOPLE LIKE JAY-Z  OWN COMPANIES , BUY HOUSES  IN THE U.S IN THE NAME OF THEIR COMPANIES SO AS NOT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THEMSELVES.  WHAT  MATTHEW TOLD HIS MEMBERS IS NOT NEW. HOLLYWOOD STARS  AND RAP ARTISTS HAVE BEING APPLYING  THIS TECHNIQUES FOR TEARS NOW. THAT WHY MOST OF ARE VERY RICH. O BOY NO JONS O! TO BE RICH LEGALLY IS NOT A BAD THING.

ETIO,

I MEANT TO SAY UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

heyma ,

You can call me idiot  and cross it all you want. JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION. LIST 5 MILLION  NIGERIANS WHO ARE CORRUPT WITH EVIDENCE TO PROVE IT. MAYBE YOU DID NOT READ MY FIRST THREAD. I LISTED  NOTABLE  NIGERIANS WHO ARE NOT CORRUPT  WITH WEBSITES TO PROVE IT. NIGERIA IS INNOCENT OF YOUR REMARKS UNTRIL PROVEN GUILTY. I CHALLENGE YOU TO LIST  JUST 5 MILLION  NIGERIANS WHO ARE NOT CORRUPT. YOU STARTED THIS TOPIC SO BE A MAN AND PROVE YOUR POINT. STOP CALLING ME IDIOT AND CROSSING IT. BE A MAN AND PROVE YOUR POINT.
 

ETIO,

MR FROSBEL ,
 
I HAVE WATCHED YOUR CLIP. BUT THAT IS ANOTHER TOPIC  FOR ANOTHER DAY.  I AM SIMPLY SAYING THAT IT IS NOT TRUE THAT   99% OF NIGERIANS ARE CORRUPT. YOU CAN BE RICH LIKE(DONALD DUKE)   WITHOUT BEEN CORRUPT.BY THE WAY DONALD DUKE IS ONE OF THE GOVERNORS NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED BY EFCC. HOWEVER HE IS NOT POOR . I THINK THIS PROVES MY POINT.   SHOULD  I TALK OF PROF Dora Nkem Akunyili (OFR),  WHO HAS FOUGHT FAKE DRUGS TO A STANDSTILL. SHE IS WELL PAID BY OBJ  AND NOT POOR  EITHER.

ETIO,

heyma ,
YOU HAVE RESULTED TO INSULTS SINCE YOU  CANT PROVE YOUR POINT.
PLEASE LIST OUT ONE BY ONE ALL THE 99% CORRUPT NIGERIANS THAT YOU KNOW. OKAY JUST LIST OUT 5 MILLION
CORRUPT NIGERIANS THAT YOU KNOW. EVEN RIBADU DOES NOT HAVE IN HIS DATABASE 5 MILLION CORRUPT  NIGERIANS.  NA WA FOR YOU  O!. PLS STOP DISTURBING US WITH YOUR PROPAGANDA

ETIO,

Hi cornel ,

TRY NIIT P.H. YOU CAN EVEN GET CERTIFIED THERE. THEY HAVE A PROMERIC CENTRE WHERE YOU CAN WRITE YOUR EXAMS ONLINE.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THEN YOU CAN BELIEVE ANYTHING. THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATED DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE GUILTY. BY THE WAY ALL THOSE GIFTS WERE GIVEN TO HIM BY MEMBERS OF HIS CHURCH. I SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE I ATTEND HIS CHURCH ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I TRAVEL TO LONDON.

WHAT OF DONALD DUKE WHO HAS TRANSFORMED CALABAR WHERE YOU CANT EVEN THROW A RECHARGE CARD ON THE FLOOR . GOING TO CALABAR IS LIKE GOING TO ABROAD RIGHT HERE IN NIGERIA WHERE WHITE PEOPLE CAN RUN ON THE STREETS IN A MARANTON WITHOUT BEEN ATTACKED. BUILT TINALPA FIRST AFRICAN FREE TRADE ZONE. ARE YOU SAYING THAT ALL THE CITIZENS OF CALABAR WHO ARE CONTRIBUTING TO HIS SUCCESS FALL IN THE 1%. STATE YOUR FACTS BEFORE BELIEVING LIES AND PROPAGANDA.

ETIO,

ONLY SOMEONE LIKE YOU WILL MAKE SUCH A STUPID STATEMENT. WHERE ARE  YOUR FACTS?
WELL HERE ARE SOME NOTABLE NIGERIANS WHO ARE NOT CORRUPT BOTH IN NIGERIA AND ABROAD.

PASTOR MATTHEW ASHIMOLOWO A YORUBA MAN RUNS THE LARGEST CHURCH IN THE UK.

PASTOR SUNDAY ADELAJA  A YORUBA MAN  RUNS THE LARGEST CHURCH IN THE UKRAINE.

AGBANI DEREGO WAS THE FIRST AFRICAN TO WIN THE MISS WORLD BEAUTY PEAGENT. SHE WAS FOMERLY A STUDENT OF UNIPORT.

DAVID OYEDEPO IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER PASTORS IN THE WORLD .HE HAS THE LARGEST SINGLE SEATING CHURCH IN THE WORLD. HIS CHURCH WAS BUILT  SOLELY BY NIGERIAN ARCHITECTS WITHOUT ANY PILLARS TO HOLD THEM. (FOREIGN ACHITECTS WHO CAME SAID THE CHURCH COULD NEVER BE BUILT WITHOUT PILLARS)
HIS CHURCH IS IN THE GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS AS AN ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE.

The launch of the first made in Nigeria computer by Zinox Technologies on the 9th of October, 2001 at the Eko Le Meridien Hotel, showcased the potentials of Nigeria's private sector. This computer was manufactured by a nigerian.

PROF Andrew Evwaraye, Ph.D.  a former lecturer of uniport  in the year 2000 worked for NASA SPACE AGENCY. He is still in the U.S till today.He is currently a lecturer in  the University of dayton.

Prof Nwangwu another nigerian who has lived in america for 34yrs(without any allegation of being corrupt) got the award of bussiness man of the year 2005.

Prof Nwangwu has made many remarkable achievements including the invention of two new techniques in pharmacology that are used widely worldwide, invention of seven new drugs that are patented in the United States, the authorship and publication of the book, "Concepts and Strategies in New Drug Development," Praeger Publishers, New York (1983), which is best seller in the field of new drug development in U.S, Canada and Europe. In addition to these, Prof Nwangwu is the first scientist in the world to document and publish the first in vivo murine ventricular tachycardia in a single surface electrocardiogram lead, which is now used widely as a model of human cardiomyopathy for medical research studies in cardiovascular disease worldwide. Scientists all over the world, including scientists at Harvard Medical School, quote Prof Nwangwu in their research publications in this area of medical research.

Prof Abba  a nigerian created a pot-in-pot system to keep perishable items cool in desert climates, though obviously important for people without electricity as well, through the use of two pots, one inside the other, and the space in between filled with wet sand. He won the Rolex Award, and has distributed more than 91,000 of these to people in Nigeria. Here is an excellent example of selfless entrepreneurism.

I think enough is enough of all the insults nigerians get because of  a few bad eggs we have in nigeria. It is never good too generalize.  Your comments were very  insulting indeed. I THINK SEUN SHOULD DELETE YOUR THREAD.

ETIO,
