Hmmm....I'm a certified JJC then. But the building is awesome, I guess it is one of those buildings built in 1920 or so.

Yeah! The building is quite old.

UjSizzle:
Uh huh

They never disappoint. . .which is one of the main reasons I have been drawn to Windows phones.

Come and eat!

timpaker:
Got this building snapped as I stopped by to buy Orange around Lekki, Lagos this weekend.
I don't know the name of the building and surprisingly even the woman selling me orange doesn't know it too but it reminds me of Big Ben in UK.

This church looks like Cathedral Church at CMS. I recall putting a picture of something similar some pages back.

UjSizzle:
That's inside the compound of a manufacturing company.
If you see the flowers inside eh? I'm surprised their staff don't even notice them.

Interesting. All taken with a Lumia I suppose?

UjSizzle:
Red bud

Where do you get these pictures of yours from?

vizboy:
Thank You guys for giving me more animation to watch.

Waiting for Naruto

Currently watching hunter x hunter

If am through with it will start death note

Watch Code geass! You will not regret watching it.

They really should discuss it because the way things are going now. . .

And this guy is a 'youth'?

But the boy really dey jaiye. . .

So why did the state government lie about it then?

speedyGonzales:
[size=14pt]LIE MUHAMMAD NOW ON NAIRALAND TRYING TO INDOCTRINATE YOU TO A SLAVE MENTALITY LIKE THE YORUBA'S!
[/size]

I don't think calling the other tribe is necessary. You will start up something here again.

Can we please stop spreading rumours? Why do most Nigerians not research before believing something? Sometime in 2008, I was told and was also shouted at by my dad to switch off my phone. What happened? Some people called him and told him "Biko, switch off your phone as cosmic rays will come into Earth through phones and affect us".

Karmanaut:
Not this bullshit again..

I just tire oh!

I can hope Ogbonnaya Onu delivers with the portfolio given him. This is one ministry I would love to see move forward in Nigeria as oil prices fall. We can only move forward as a nation if Sci. and Tech. coupled with some other sectors are paid great attention to.

If Ministry of Power has been scrapped, what role will Fashola play since he has been assigned that post? Someone enlighten me..

If some of you commenters know what transportation entails and what it generates for a nation, you may not write like this. Congrats to him and I hope he delivers.

theV0ice:


Transportation has been expanded. Imagine ministry of Aviation is now under Transportation with Hadi Sirika as a minister of state(Aviation) under transport.

As it is, Aviation, NIMASA, Railways, Shipping business etc are under him

Not a bad one if you ask me

My bro, do you think plenty of the commenters here are that sharp to know? forget them pls.

Imagine an adult Nigerian laughing at the minister of transportation

The ignorance is appalling. According to Wikipedia:

Transport or transportation is the movement of people, animals and goods from one location to another. Modes of transport include air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and space. The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles and operations. Transport is important because it enables trade between persons, which is essential for the development of civilizations.

SpaceTour:
TRASH..Imo state is worthless, bankrupt, hopeless and useless. Now go and kill yourself for hearing the harsh and blunt truth.

[s][/s]

Most times, you always cause division between Anambra and Imo states; you and the OP and most times, I wonder what you both gain from it.

Na wa oh!!! Only one person dey build the above?

ProfShymex:
Anyway, the way forward for Igbos is Biafra.

You lot just need a better leader. A miscreant and hate speech preacher like Kanu is a disaster waiting to happen.

And now that there's momentum for the cause, it's time for educated Igbos to get involved and be strategic about it.

If you're Igbo, you're a Biafran. But learn from the mistakes of Ojukwu and stay away from the SW where you lost the first war.

Igbo children deserve a better future and Nigeria can't offer them that. The country is only going to get worse.

Best of luck.

Of recent, I have seen you also agree that Nigeria is a 'zoo' in some of your comments. I thought you were pro-Nigerian?

ThisMeansWars:
how is it buharis fault that he chose mostly northerners when he knew Igbos will be busy focusing on his business whenever you used them as ministers ? Or using the post to pursue self interest ..

Barth nnaji comes to mind ... Using the post of power minister to build for himself a power plant ...

DOn't you think you are peddling lies with the bolded? Was Geometric not already on ground before he was appointed a minister?

EUROBOMBER:
I personally think that the loud call for Biafra by some misguided few is very unnecessary. Why this hypocrisy? Jonathan arrested a lot of MASSOB members and we didn't have this type of protests.

Jonathan promised that he was going to finish the second Niger bridge before 2015 and he did not do it! Why did Jonathan not build the deep seaport at Ibaka which would definitely positively impact the economy of the east after 5yr The weak ijaw Jonathan quickly removed our own Ihejirika as COAS when the north cried of his excesses against boko haram.

Jonathan is not Igbo; he is ijaw. The ijaws are a highly unreliable and treacherous group of people. The behaviour of edwin clark says it all while on nairaland we have barcanista aka tonyebarcanista. It was barcanista that started the talk of Lower Niger comprising the SS & SE but today he is describing Igbos as land grabbers and expansionists.

Let us be sincere with ourselves, this sudden loud call for Biafra is linked to Jonathan's defeat at the polls otherwise why didn't we use the opportunity when Jonathan was there to actualise Biafra? Why do we now expect Buhari to give us the Biafra?

There is nothing wrong in making mistakes and we should accept that we made a political mistake by voting the weak ijaw man in the person Jonathan. let us begin to reach out to the other big two i.e the north and the west to see how we can produce the next president after Buhari.

And for those of you that hate Buhari so much, you can at least console yourselves with the fact that he will not rule forever.

OBJ was there before, today he is not there, Yar Ardua, GEJ were there before and today they are not there. Buhari is there today and in future, he will not be there so why all this madness?

Power is transient!

A word is enough for the wise.

I don't think the bolded is necessary. You could have made your point without bringing their personalities here.

For the topic, I asked myself the same question - why wasn't this protest happening under Jonathan but now happening under Buhari? The way most of my people are going about it is not wise. All of a sudden, I hear it is now becoming violent which isn't supposed to be if truly people are to support your cause. Why aren't they agitating for resource control? What of our selfish Igbo leaders who would rather invest outside Igboland than in the land? So many questions to be asked but few answers.

londoner:
I don't think it is about Jonathan losing the election but the anti-Igbo sentiment which happened around that time. Although there is a long history of it there was a straw that broke the camels back. The utterances of the Oba and Buhari's 5% remarks basically confirmed to Igbos that they will always be considered underfoot.

There is often a general sentiment that Igbos are second class citizens in Nigeria ( not withstanding the few tokens). There is also a belief that an Igbo will never be president and this is without considering there may be some fitting candidates but their Igbo heritage discounts them in the minds of people.

I too believe that the call for Biafra is unnecessary and it is Igboland that is suffering. The reawakening towards the east should have been used more constructively.
What is happening now is a wasted opportunity.

If you feel perpetually unequal in a society you look for somewhere else to call home. Nigeria has ignored that feeling of both the Igbos and the oil producing tribes for too long.

I'm proudly Nigerian and would rather see genuine conciliation than any Biafra. Aside the Nigeria issue Igbos themselves need to tell themselves the truth about their own Igbo leaders and how they have woefully neglected their states and how Igbo businessmen have rejected the idea of building up their region to the point that they may look down on someone who has not gone to Lagos or Abuja to invest or do business. Igbos have to look at their own mentality too. It's very easy to lump all the blame on the rest of Nigeria but they lie to themselves if they do that.

The bolded, very apt!

Onegai:
I've met a few people interested in Astronomy here. in Nigeria.

Why not you guys start crowd funding for money to build yours? Start small, build a sundial and look for apparatus. Get a small building and write to universities and observatories to see if they have old equipment they can give you. Charge as little as possible so people can visit and I'll tell you other ways to get funds.

You can start the first observatory in Nigeria

This is an awesome idea!

MathsChic:
The Grand Canyon is a piece of history. I'm pretty confident there are a number similar sites in Nigeria; there just isn't much knowledge about them. The country needs to work on making such sites topics of public discussion. Just like the canyon is.
Just keep visiting and collecting knowledge. It'll serve its purpose in eliciting curiosity in your kid. That'll go a long way

The bolded, very apt! In addition to it, you hear questions like "Who this kain place don help"? I believe public discussion as proposed above will go a long way to help.

johnydon22:



Oh jesus why am i not here now

Someone please throw me down there and forget me ...

Being planning to make a makeshift telescope that will have a high magnifying power at least something manageable.... To observe the night sky better from home.

But i can't get two well to do powerful magnifying glasses or maybe three or four cus i want to try something new to see if i can make the magnifying power more powerful..
But can't get them... these punny ass magnifying glasses i saw on jumia is just child's play..

wish i could get my hands on very good magnifying glasses, can work my way around other materials..

The blue coloured, are you trying to make something similar to the 3200 megapixel telescope for deep space? For good magnifying glasses, why not try zeiss website?; it may be pricey though.

HCpaul:
Animals of the same mentality.
What is nice about the write up? Silly...

HCpaul:
You may call me a fool, but i know what am doing.

The bible said that God uses the foolish things of this world to comfound the wise.

Your wisdom can still send you to hell.

You know, it is responses like these that make people tag Christians like us fanatics.

Let us not use our ignorance as a butter to eat unfounded assumptions.... - Johnydon22

I am beginning to suspect that you went to such a neatly built up primary achool, removed the sits in a classroom and took this picture just to paint the governor in bad light.
Oya all d Esan antagonists and edo pdp in general receive sense!

And I thought I had heard it all. . .

donodion:
you made me laff so hard I almost passed out. Bruv you bad no be small..haba u make d guy provoke .....
Never thought this thread would catch fire like this...like play like play...it became Drs Vs Engineers, lawyers join the mix, teachers rolled up sleeve, na only Police dey miss for the debate.... wait o...are soldiers and police officers not profrssionals? Nigeria have been bastardized by corrupt politicians and decision makers walai.

The bolded has always been an issue! And to think I lived in peace with a medical student back then in University of Benin. . .

pcguru1:
if you stay in Lagos and have space just holla nah not a manga fan, Spoilers have made me hate manga

Till next year bro! Presently in Kano for service. Thanks!

Mangas are heavenly!

As in the days of PDP. Wait! What are they fighting for?

Did I hear someone say something for the benefit of the masses?

WombRaiders:
Osho cheated on her when she was alive.

Osho is fond of threes0mes with young university girls when his wife was alive.

His wife died of cervical cancer which is linked with PID which in turn is linked to scaring of the cervics due to constant infection.

Osho gave her the clapp early in the marriage and she died from it.

I pity Lara ashewo career after osho

Bros, aren't these mere allegations?

I am sure you had a great time!

Zeiss Refracting telescope:
It's one of the few remaining in the world. You can look at the surface of the planet Venus through it.

The bolded is one person I must say have contributed immensely to the development of lenses.

I wonder how much it will cost to set up something similar here in Nigeria.

Johnydon22 and tempakguy, food don done!

vani86:
Abeg tell them, and them cosplays are massive events, i have never really gotten round to watching black bullet, think that will be my next assignment.

anyway i am a heineken fan, and i want 3 crates . thanks in advance, you promised oooo

Hahaha! Yes sir!

pcguru1:
Dude try this anime Aragami or ben-to, there's a girl in my office she's more of an anime fan than us. But you you'd never know she recommend one punch man and gangstar

You have over 300GB worth of anime? And I thought I was an anime fan! Do you read Noblesse?

But Oshiomole was/is the best 'thing' after sliced bread according to some of my coursemates back then in the University of Benin. I recall when University of Benin students protested because of how he treats people and also issues about his thugs (agberos), it was tagged a PDP sponsored protest but how come now, issues of protests here and there are springing up in almost all parts of Benin-city going by what I read here? Are the protests PDP sponsored?

Damn! These pictures aren't doing his tenure any good.

vani86:
do age matter, i am 28, with 2 masters, have a really good job in ph but i love watching naruto, one piece, death note, bleach and all super hero cartoon movies.

does that make me less of a man.

OP tell her to go eat shite

Please, what is your house address let me send you a truck of Hero beer? Hope you drink beer? I am a die hard Naruto fan (there is even a thread for that here), Hunter X Hunter, Black Bullet, Shingeki no kyujin, Terraformars, Code Geass, so many other animes and read mangas (my signature is gotten from one of my favourite character - Pain). Even 3D animations are not left out. I admire the creativity of the person, the arts, the storyline etc. Heck, I had to get a software called 'Autodesk Maya' to try modelling some characters.

OP, tell her to go boil stone. Does watching cartoon make one immature? I wonder why some people here in Nigeria see it as such. Countries that make these cartoons have what we call 'COSPLAY' and many people attend - even adults. They also wear the costume of their favourite character. Does that make the people in those advanced countries 'immature'?

The other time, I was watching Hunter X Hunter (an anime) and some people I happened to be with at that moment were like "You should stop watching that thing called cartoon. It makes you immature! You aren't a child anymore! Only children watch cartoons!"

I'm like "What are you saying?"

It's not like many act more mature than I do.

I repeat again - tell her to go boil stone!

Hey there! Konnichiwa mina-san! Long time!

Who here has watched Boruto movie? The one about Orochimaru kidnapping Boruto and Sarada?

genuinechimere:
yeap

Well, I must say it is a wonderful national icon - the Sci-Tech Complex I mean.

Is this guy really as bad as being painted?

ChimaAdeoye:
[size=13pt]My brother, thanks a lot.
The problem as rightly pointed out is that some people have the lowest form of IQ and they just cannot imagine things done outside of the way they know it.they think if they don't know about something, it does not exist. Unfortunately for them, all they know is the wrong way everything is done in Nigeria.

I remember in 1990s when i returned from USA, i had told someone that the mobile phone technology sweeping the USA then will someday be the greatest tool of bridging the digital backwardness of Africa. Infact, a time will come people will make telephone call from Amichi to USA. The men there argued so blindly that day, asking funny questions as; where will we see electricity required to power landlines, who will fund the wires on the pole,Whose land will the poles pass, will Nitel have a staff office in Amichi, even if they did, who can afford a mobile phone in Amichi etc, etc. they concluded that "America had entered my head" and thus i couldn't reason anymore. While indeed, it was their poor IQ that was preventing them from seeing what almost everybody else in the world had seen by then. Needless to say, i reminded the same men about our argument later when MTN reception reached Amichi and i called them on their phone and spoke to them from USA in 2004!

A similar argument that thought cell phones were an impossible thing is happening here about cows.
The way fulani rears cows and walks them thousands of kilometers is wrong and archaic. Comparing that ancient and outdated way of rearing cows to the modern ranching method is similar to the comparing how chickens are raised in the villages by allowing them to roam about and find whatever it eats,, to a modern poultry way of raising chicken to maximize eggs production and meat. The problem is that a villager that has never seen nor imagined a modern poultry will argue you to death that such isn't possible in Nigeria.[/size]

Permit me to ask - are you from Amichi?
