Sports / Re: Kolo Toure Tricked Student Into Affair Lying He Was A Car Salesman by feathers007: 11:23am On Nov 27, 2012
freecocoa: 2 years?

Its either the lady is a dumb feck or she was playing along.

Like seriously? How can one be sleeping with one of the Toure brothers and not know? Does she not own a TV?hian o undecided

sharap there, do you think its everyone that follows football in England. An average britico girl doesn't give a damn about the premier league. Some men even prefer to watch rugby and don't give a feck bout epl.
Politics / Re: Lagos Sued For Proposed N500 Toll On Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge by feathers007: 6:57am On Nov 27, 2012
koruji: When we say sue the Lagos state government for unjust laws we are not talking about this type.
Government has the power to charge a rate on a service they provide.
[size=14pt]That the government used tax payer's money to build infrastructure doesn't mean it should be free!!![/size]

In fact, this particular road was a public-private deal - this is however besides the point.

The only argument would be if the charge can be shown to be non-comparable to similar services all over the country or in comparable nations.
That would be hard to prove.

I am waiting for someone serious to sue over that law prescribing a 1-year jail for driving against traffic.

u are getting it wrong mister. State or local Government don't just build road / bridges and start tolling it. Fashola got it wrong from the lekki toll gate and now to this one. The residents of the communities weren't taken into consideration when all this tolled roads were being built. The residents had a right to vote for or against the building of tolled roads. There was meant to be a stakeholders meeting were residents can decide they don't want the project to proceed. Now after some of them are late, there children would still be paying these charges they know nothing about. Fashola's government is very dictatorial. Years of military government has really affected the thoughts process of an average naija man including the president dat doesn't give a damn.

Romance / Re: Signs That A Girl Is Interested In A Guy? by feathers007: 3:28pm On Nov 26, 2012
slap1: Women are strange creatures. . . These points don't apply to all of them. A girl once started avoiding me simply because she started having emotional interest in me.
correct...especially with naija girls. You can never know what's going on in her mind except she is promiscuous.

Politics / Re: 16-Year-Old-Girl Sues Colonel Over Alleged molestation by feathers007: 1:57pm On Nov 25, 2012
Dr. Whizy:
. Never heard of 6 yr olds being raped? U fink dey wher dress'd provocatively? Ever heard of paedophiles?
for wia, aboki's that see nothing wrong in marrying and sleeping with a 12 years old girl, that's why VVF is rampant in the north. Even senator yerima sef marry a 12 years old girl recently. if a senator and former governor sees nothing wrong in being a paedophile, then you can imagine the mentality of a Nigerian northerner.
To make matters worse, if this stupid soldier was sent on peacekeeping mission, he would end up raping the girls and women in the host country, the same people they were meant to protect. animal.
Politics / Re: Nigeria Is The Most Fraudulent Country In Africa, KPMG Report Says by feathers007: 2:26pm On Nov 24, 2012
The truth is that the so called multinationals indulge in fraudulent activities as well, it cuts across all arms of their businesses in Nigeria. A non - corrupt multinational would never and I mean never do business in Nigeria. e.g HSBC, jp Morgan, fauber maunsell e.t.c Most multinationals in Nigeria like kpmg have money set aside called honorarium in their books, these honorarium is actually used in bribing government officials to land lucrative contracts.

Nairaland / General / Re: List Of Nigerians With Private Jets by feathers007: 7:16am On Nov 14, 2012
pro01:

Besides, what is Hon. Ibn Na'Allah's name doing there? He owns a propeller plane, but not a private jet. There's a difference. Not all private planes are private "jets". . .many small planes like Na'Allah's own cost less than a Bentley.
well, depends on the prop plane, a bomberdier dash 8 prop plane can cross continents and stilll cost about $33million
Foreign Affairs / Re: On Streets Of Athens, Racist Attacks Increase by feathers007: 6:52am On Nov 14, 2012
julioralph: The details vary, but the cold brutality of each attack is the same: Dark-skinned migrants confronted by thugs, attacked with knives and broken bottles, wooden bats and iron rods.
shocked
but Greek folks are dark-skinned as long as their Anglo Saxon brothers up north are concerned. lipsrsealed
Greeks dark skinned? I don't think so, I have Greek friends with blue eyes that would pass for Russians
Crime / Re: My Experience With Swindlers by feathers007: 4:49pm On Nov 13, 2012
ciphoenix: them give you 32k for hand. The thing later turn 20k. Abi? I no understand that part well
like someone mentioned above, they are very good with finger and arm tricks. Some of them have devices under there long clothes.
xtayle: If you go there next time, whether in bureau d change or not, make sure you are dealing with convincing hausa. Those people that swindled you are Yoruba guys. Dont get it twisted. am Yoruba. Idowu is my Name. But they did it to me when I was preparing for my wedding.I lost close to N50k and the attraction was they spoke Yoruba. I left Yaro my age-long money-changer and dealt by the road side.

I learned my lesson hard that day.
[quote author=ciphoenix][/quote]

haba, It's not only Yoruba guys that are involved. My mum was swindled by Hausa guys on Lagos island. She wanted to change her pounds to naira, they agreed on 252, the aboki now gave her cash equivalent to 220. Ny mum says she doesn't want to transact business with him as that was not the amount they both agreed to. He was still holding the pounds all along, my mum collected the same money from him only for her to realize that the pounds had been swapped to fake ones when she got home.
I have changed pounds several times with Yoruba guys outside the Lagos airport hotel beside the petrol station and never been swindled.
