lonelydora:


Had it been in the US, all Ivy League schools will be looking for this boy

Not for Medicine, though. In the US, you have to have degree first, before you can study Medicine - that way you would be in your 20s. There is a reason for this; maturity counts when it comes to come courses, especially.

A lot of Trump haters actually do so cos others are :from his speech I see a man set to reposition his country;bringing back labor and putting an end to welfare that breeds laziness; more power to his elbow and with him no more unnecessary meddling into the affairs of other countries. .the only clog will be the media. ..

You wished your statement had anything close to reality. 70% of the Nigerians I studied with or studied in my universities are from the wes, then we have the Edos, Rivers and Delta state students only after that comes the Igbos.

blackprowler:
Our so-called leaders have no clue. This is Fashola's lagos now, not just any state. They see developed countries do something and they rush here to copy. They don't realise that for the society to be as you see it abroad, the most ordinary man has to be enlightened and civilised enough to know he's a part of society and participate. I've told them: it will take generations to achieve if you start to work on our education system NOW. But they don't want that. They want everything to happen in their lifetimes; indeed within the few years they're in office. Hence we're not going anywhere.
I bet many people can't connect what I just wrote with what's being talked about. I tell you: THAT'S WHAT I'm TALKING ABOUT!

I see where u are coming from, but I beg to differ. It did not take generations for everybody to start wearing seat belts. Psychologists say it takes 21days to imbibe a habit

What the hell is americanah?
It makes the book look cheap.
If i didn't know who chimamanda was,i wouln't buy that book in a million years.
The title of the book can put serious readers off.
Her publishers wouldn't let her use this title if they felt it wouldn't sell. She has successfully established herself as a brand, so this is bound to be a hit like her previous works
Literature / Re: 'Americanah' By Chimamanda Adichie To Launch This Year by express101: 2:00pm On Feb 05, 2013
all4naija: Huh. There is nothing wrong but it just make your work looks something from a novice. Iraqana sounds like a child learning to pronounce or speak. I would rather find interest in a title with persuasive intent challenging a buyer curiosity before even reading it. Indeed, I can see where she is coming from. She is trying so hard to be accepted by the American audiences and society. Lol... AMERICANAH! Even Americans would find that embarrassing.

Is that a German or a Spanish word?
It is neither a German nor Spanish word; it is a colloquial way Nigerians address our people living in America. Watch! This book might make that reference more mainstream
Literature / Re: 'Americanah' By Chimamanda Adichie To Launch This Year by express101: 1:55pm On Feb 05, 2013
all4naija: No! It doesn't mean I have to read the novel somehow before finding interest. Good and great titles add a lot to the writer's work and can coerce people to buy them. It is like the advert of a product. Jeez! I don't find that title interesting and encouraging from somebody of her standard.

Don't be selfish. Maybe ur area has light, but do not speak for the majority of Nigerians who do not have light to carry out business activities, or light in their home. The status quo is not good enough, and shouldn't be acceptable. Nigerians deserve better

Politics / Re: I Want To Become An LGA Chairman - What Do I Need To Know? by express101: 2:07pm On Dec 02, 2012
afam4eva: I want to throw my hat into the ring and contest for an elective position. I think i can make a change by starting off by contesting for the chairmanship position in my local government, Enugu South LGA. It's not like i'm ready at the moment but i want to plan for the future. I chose to contest to become the LG chairman position because it's the closest government to the people. I want to make my LGA the pride of NIgeria and Africa. Infact, i don't mind being the LGA chairman for the next 50 years if the constitution permits as long as i can make my own little contribution in my local government.

Now, what are the things that i need to know and which party do you think is progressive and encourages young people like myself?

What's the minimum age to be elected in to such a position?

As an LGA chairman, how much power do i wield?

I'm currently working on my economic plan for my local government and i will also like ya'll to contribute and tell me what you think local governments need the most.

Thanks
Philanthropy is the gateway to power. Make yourself meaningful to your community in whatever way you can -- that would give you grass root support when you are ready

Family / Re: Coping With Marital Finances by express101: 4:40pm On Oct 25, 2012
It is a new phenomenon for many girls of this generation to conceive the idea of contributing financially to the household, esp as many of them saw their fathers take care of the bills almost entirely. These days, women earn comparable income to men, sometimes more. We r at the crossroads of this social change, and what both men and women should come to terms with, is understanding the reality of our times. On the other hand, men should understand that u shouldn't rule with the same iron fist u perhaps saw ur father rule with when they were footing d entire bill. It's do-able; a balance can be struck somewhere For sake of fairness

However, he used to be a governor there and he achieved a lot as a governor..
In spite of his achievements in Massachussetts, he's still behind there. I agree he'll prolly win most of the swing states, but the big deal is Ohio on the path to 270 going by the electoral college map

dayokanu: The moderator helped Obama a bit.

Romney missed an opportunity to nail Obama on the Benghazi issue.

When Obama was asked who denied enhance security in Benghazi. Obama dodged the question and ROmney didnt bring him back to the point.

On whether Obama said he called it a terror attack the following day that was a lie


I agree with u up to the point that he dint use "act of terror" to describe the Benghazi incident d next day. He could have shone more light on d fact he went fundraising the very next day when details wre still a bit hazy

Politics / Re: Lawyers Protest Bad Roads In Aba by express101: 7:26am On Sep 21, 2012
afam4eva: Someone just takes a picture of a particular place in Aba and uploads it as a true representation of Aba. Yes, we know Aba is bad but not this bad and not everywhere. When i went to Aba 3 years ago, i was trying very hard to find the dirty Aba i kept hearing and seeing all over the internet but i couldn't find any. Even Ogbor hill that seems like a middle to lower-class neigbourhood is not that bad.
I was there last week; it is decayed. Terrible! Pools of water everywhere, potholes...some roads are practically closed, for instance, Eziukuwu end of Milverton Ave, where most transport coys have terminals

shymexx:

Maybe, the federal government needs to build new cities in all the geopolitical zones and entice people there... There are wasteland scattered around Nigeria and the government can help by transforming those areas into new cities...

God forbid a natural disaster happens in Lagos, the loss of lives would make Port-au-Prince look like child's play..
I agree with you that the fed govt should play a role in decongesting Lagos and growing other cities. Through Regulation, the govt can choose the most expedient places to site organisations devoid of politics. Call Centres for instance should rather be in more low-cost cities and towns other than Lagos. That way, their not-so-huge pay would go much farther. Govt def has a role in tackling this problem

Health / Re: 15 Early Signs Of Cancer by express101: 4:24pm On Jul 25, 2012
Lollyij: What of postrate cancer, someone shld enlighten me on it

Prostate cancer is the enlargement of the prostate - a walnut-size organ in every male. Men of black origin are of higher risk and should start prostate exams from about age 40. Symptoms usually don't present early, and when u start feeling symptomatic, chances are that it might have spread. If sm1 has had it in ur lineage, u should be more proactive. Symptoms include: painful urination, delay in passing urine, frequent urination... H/ever, having these doesn't necessarily mean u have prostate cancer
