Typical 9ja hypocritical reactions
Ostriches hiding their head in the sands of delusion
The guy advanced a viewpoint which you are free to support or reject
What is the difference between corrupt politicians and hustling ashewos?
A politician loots the nation's Commonwealth while an ashewo sells her body, many a times patronized by this politicians
While it is not something (prostitution) I 'm in support of, that's her business especially if she's not a religious advocate
Face it, not everyone adheres to religious indoctrination which is a personal thing though God means it for all men
Never forget there's what is called FREE WILL
Lets's stop behaving like the Pharisees who crucified Christ
Or did prostitution cease when Christ was on Earth?
Even though Christ warned those with opposing viewpoints to his of their doom and destruction, he did not call down hell fire upon their souls immediately
Let`s advocate superior moral arguments rather than religious castigation
After all we see many of our 'men of God' openly frolicking with and 'blessing' our corrupt leaders on TV and we say nothing to them but ashewos are far too easy game

Lakehay21: Surviving as a Nigerian student in the UK was not as easy as I thought, but I managed to adjust with time. But surviving here is really not as hard as you think. Just be open-minded and network with people not just Nigerians. You'll survive.

Word up Leke21
What's the dub about life in Sunderland? Locals openness, social life, school life and all?
How do you survive on £30 a week seeing it sounds incredulous?
How much do you spend on accommodation? What facilities does it offer, heating, Internet, etc?
Are you in Univ of Sunderland? How is the school rated?
Also are student part time jobs easily available? Anything for IT inclined folks?
Do share and let us learn
Thanks

Xiao weighed 62kg, was 3 and 1/2 years old and 3 feet 6 inches tall as at the time of this story
Too bad I can`t get a follow up on this story

dridowu: False, 1st time i saw ds was in 2005, i remeber vividly dat very day.

How can you have seen it in 2005 when the boy was not even born then
Liar
Bloody liar

Its great that the sham that is the amnesty is now unravelling before our eyes
The program was never to quell the restiveness in the creeks but to enrich the kingpins behind the whole militancy of a thing
What Nigeria needs is an SNC to address the grievances of her different tribes and peoples
Too bad too many of our leaders lack vision and critical thinking ability

Weigh the pros and coins of education in either country, put it to prayer (as your post shows you have religious inclination, then bite your bullet).
Recall everything in life is a risk because life has no guarantees yet calculated risks pay off.

berem: Are you sure he really supported the governor? besides, if the governor wanted to give the traditional rulers cars, why wait for 7 whole years to do that. I don't see anything wrong with the car gifts. Most governors do the same. Remember that traditional rulers in Nigeria are being given monthly salaries by their various state government.

Why should the Commonwealth of Nigeria be used to to lubricate the greedy throats of this traditional 'fathers'
Are they elected by the people
Their respective commuinities (if they desire an oba, obi, emir etc) should be in charge of their welfare and not the state govt
Nigeria as I correctly recall is a republic
Most of this so called traditional rulers are nothing but thieving collaborators with the govt

Anyone who wants to learn more about Pipo Max M9 can follow the above thread to learn more
I just got one [the 3G WCDMA version] yesterday afternoon after preordering last week from balogunsam
Only one word for now,IT ROCKs!

As you can see from the pix above, the Pipo came well packaged
No breaks, no cracks just Quad Core Venom unleashed
More updates on the way
Just getting my way around this 'monster' tablet
Attached is the Pipo M9 Antutu tests which I personally ran
You can see it trounces the Google Nexus 7 and 10 tablets,Sammy's S3, HTC's One X and slightly beaten by the Note2 and Nexus4
Hmnn, over 16,000 points for a Chinese Tablet running at 1.6Mhz without been unclocked to the 1.8Mhz its capable of
Its pure power mehn!

Hello Nairalanders
DHL delivered and I finally have my hands on my Pipo Max M9 3G tablet
And I have only one word to describe it, IT ROCKs
I currently typing using my keyboard with the OTG cable it came with
Its early days yet but, it seems it was worth every penny
Big ups, balogunsam, take a bow for delivering such an awesome machine
I can't really continue my review now due to a little flu but I'll update more starting tommorow
Till below are some pixs
Enjoy

ogokam: Balogunsam is legit. I got a brand new Samsung Notebook from him last year and it is working great. You'll get genuine stuff from him.

Thanks for the affirmation and open endorsement
Even though I've never met nor done biz with him before, I do not doubt balogunsam is the real deal, read my first 2 posts afresh
Non the less, I hope you and all who have transacted with him will come over and endorse him on his thread which was opened primarily to speak on my shiny new Pipo Max M9 3G tablet got courtesy of him
And also to get some peeps to leave their brand name OEM comfort zone and try out top grade Chinese made gadgets hopefully through him
First thing in the morning, I should lay my hands on my Pipo M9 for its ready for collection as the graphic below shows
Till then, Adiós people.

Some would say, why buy a Chinese tablet?
Good question!
While many are becoming more aware that China is the manufacturing centre of the world, the companies who have moved base over there enforce standards
Standards is what many a made in China product [except those made by American/European/some Asian companies with manufacturing presence there] lack
And its all because of one thing, COST
However some indigenous Chinese companies with an eye on the Western, European and global spread are slowly pushing the boundaries to bring well made products to the market
The older ones know once upon a time time, Made in Aba meant substandard production
However today, its not really like that any more
Suffice to say, that also applies to China too now

A quick insert, I don't know balogunsam personally
I've never done business with him until now
I'm just a nairalander who read what others [nairalanders] wrote about him and decided to give him a try
Infact this my first time of doing an electronic preordered purchase with any Nigerian
Like I told him on whatsapp, e-business is the way to go but how do you trust a Nigerian to promise you a service, take your money and not scam you?
Especially one you have never met in person only through electronic means?
I decided to go with my gut feeling and sensing of my inward man about his kind of person
I should see my Pipo M9 in the next 2-4 hours and share better with other nairalanders
After all, knowledge is power
So keep your fingers ready and enjoy the convo

Hi all
I'm fiscalcliff
I started this thread to talk about my brand new Pipo Max M9 3g tablet which I ordered from a fellow nairalander balogunsam
The tablet came in from China and I'm yet to lay my hands on it
However as at 30 minutes ago, I know I'm getting it today thanks to DHL tracking
For those wincing and grimacing about China, know that this tablet is a very high end tablet built on an SoC chip set that is one of the best [top 3] as at this very moment in time i.e. June 2013
Keep your fingers ready to type and follow me as I unveil this 10.1 inch device from this evening and the coming days

emmayo_c: bro u just hit the point. Patrotism my foot. Dnt even knw why govt intervrned. They shild have allowed der stupidity exposed to the world. Nonsense

How you go post story for Nairaland and we go find pichure go another site

fuckluv: The money is absolutely making him run bananas. The dealer will just be laughing at his foolishness.

Yeah, if the dealer sold Toyotas and not Maseratis
Definitely a very expensive way to protest many rich folks including the man's circle of influence will look at other premium cars
Very bad publicity for Maserati

No picshure?
Incomplete story sef
Which kain lazy op be this sef
Maseratti just lost a customer and many potential customers

@ sean lenux
Take time to digest worry 359's reply. It contains all you need
Coming to the UK with your kind of scenario before the financial crisis was tough enough
Its about outright impossible now

UK based Nigerian students, abeg make una no allow this thread die O!
I learn so much from it
Had to go fish it out from page three of this sub-forum's topics
Abi oga justwise fit pin am permanently for page ni?

op,since you have no job experience and you are 28,I'd advise you to go to Florida and start your life life afresh, provided the offer is fool proof
If not, stay in Nigeria to work, gather cash and plot your life chart.

justwise:

1. Yes its 3months before the resumption date.

2.Yes you can apply for visa from the UK.

3.I don't think there is any favorable or non favorable EU country for that as far as i know.

Oga justwise, thanks for your reply
Swift and straight to the point
Regarding you second reply, does this apply also to STUDY VISAS to cross over from the UK and go on to countries like Norway, Germany or some few EU countries which still offer free education or is it just only visiting visas?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply pete about the withdrawal limits
I take it you are drawing funds from your Nigerian account though you are in the UK as our Nigerian banks now encourage us to do that
Yet doesn't it have drawbacks e.g. having issues with your account that you wont be able to withdraw like you said in your post?
Also please do share your thoughts on my other question
Where are you in UK BTW?

[size=15pt]USEFUL INSIGHTS BY OTHERS IS APPRECIATED TOO[/size]

Are NFF top shots taking a paycut too?
How can nff wake up one morning and say this overhead cost jargons, did they not factor it in long term?
don't they do business planning?
how can they now be talking of cost implication?
can contracts be UNILATERALLY be suspended by one of the parties?
i doubt such was factored in into the different coaches contracts else why broadcast it in the newspapers to sway our emotions towards the nff
who runs a business by knee jerk reactions such as this?
where are those who took siasia to the cleaners when he sued nff for breach of contract? please come and defend your nff goons
if keshi and others gree, dem be mumu
mtsheeew nonsense

olushowunm: No solid company in this sector, all is having different issues and its long term, which they have been unable to solve across board.
In the interest of fair hearing and analysis, check their last 5 years annual reports and you will see that some don't even have any report in the public domain. And this makes any analysis difficult to come by.

the above contributor nails this with his reply
i recall hearing 2 days back on CNCBC Africa that the Nigerian insurance sector is a no show
the op and other would be investors try watching it more often

Morning thread contributors who spit insight by their replies,
1]What is the maximum amount per transaction from a British ATM [In Nigeria its 20-40k depending on the bank]?
What is the total daily transaction I can take from a British ATM [In Nigeria its 150k]?


2]Also how long can a return ticket stay valid for?
Most airline/travel agents websites grey off their calendars after about 6 months and I should be in the UK for about 16 months
Is it worth it, buying a return ticket or should I just settle for one way straight up?

Thanks for the replies

Evening Justwise and thread contributors who spit insight by their replies, I got my CAS today though my school resumes first week of October, please how soon can I apply for my visa?
I believe I once saw 3months to resumption somewhere
Am I mistaken?

Also,I plan on visiting continental Europe after my first semester and during summer, can I process my visa over there or would I have to process it from here?
If from here under what category would I apply for it since no one from there is extending an invitation to me?
would i have to have gotten my UK visa first?
also which european country do you think is most favourable and open towards such an application?

Thanks for the replies

UNA EYE GO SOON OPEN

Dear AW please ship out [do not want to use the word dispose/throw away] Andre Santos before the January transfer windows
closes
Thank you

Liverpool and their star striker Suarez have completely disappeared from this match in the second half but it will be a travesty if Arsenal fail to nick this match

andyanders:


Good talk. no mind people who still rate supper chickens as a team. This is not a time of being a patriotic as the team is to weak and uncoordinated.

thank you sir for not calling a spade an agricultural implement
many Nigerians know the 9ja team is wack but delude themselves like the English who believe the 3 three lions are a world class team & keep referring to their 1966 WC win as evidence

topsco:
CIV slack a bit against 9ja,then ur cry go awake Adolf Hitler..

Typical 9ja speak
While other teams train,pray and play
Nigerians pray,pray and pray
Say it as it is
The Nigerian team is wack
Wobbling and fumbling disjointed pack of eagles
No flair,no passion, no guts, no spine
Patriotism has a price
And the Nigerian team are yet to pay it
