Let's go back to our ancient architecture or modernize it like this... ☺



I don't even know what our architectural students are being taught in our universities 😏, nothing exceptional in their designs, always that 'square design' with 'send down the rain rooftop' that is prominent at almost every estate in the country




You guys can do better, be more creative abeg, architecture is more of an art, and arts are unique representation of life, so guard it!

I wished I could like this comment more than once. Our architects needs to be more creative. One doesn't need to spend fortune in building a house in Nigeria. There are better ways we could use mud and that type of blocks commonly found in the North to build an artistic house. Here, our architects are interested in designing "send down the rain" houses with two useless pillars in front of the house.

If na wedding, then the groom must have been her client for her to have the guts to wear that and got access to the venue. She must be connected to any of the celebrants.

Those selling their properties to japa should not be crucified - it may turn out to be a worthy investment, after all.

Someone sold their father's four flats of two bedroom each in Gbagada, Lagos, to help offset his masters school fees in UK in 2010.

He is now on his second home in UK. Completed his M.Sc. at Cranefield University and was awarded fully funded PH.D program in the same school, while the wife completed a nursing program.

From his perspective, selling his late father's property in Nigeria to embark on UK sojourn in 2010 was worth it as he is far better off now than he was in 2009 in Nigeria with his family.

So, free people to do whatever they want with their properties as long as the proceeds are used for future investment, which could be in human investment (school) or otherwise. Some people will be here saying that any one that sells his property to japa is a fool. It is not so o!

This SA guy mean am o for Nigerians . See how he is dishing it one by one, back to back. That open gutter insult he threw enter me no be lie. But why should our streets and neighbourhoods be filled with stinking open gutters? Defending Nigeria is never an easy job for anybody. Our politicians could make one to regret being born in this country.

my belle o

Nigerian news and sensationalism!!! They always likes to use this phrase, "wide jubilation erupted" to describe something in a state or about a politician's action. Sometimes, i wonder who are those people jubilating or dancing around town in jubilation. I hope Otti will not finally turn into the biggest "Scam" in Nigerian politics. The way to manager Nigerians is, just put "film" for them to watch, then move on with your " inefficiency or looting" while they salivate on the film you have put for them. By the time the film finishes, you are done with your own act. You can rewind the film or put another movie for them.

GRV would have done the same if he was the Governor - all Governors in Nigeria uses State's fund to pay for legal services and other personal expenditures.

Where do you think the Kano Governor will get the minimum fee of N1bn to pay Wole Olanipekun as his lawyer? All of them are same - both elected and intended to be elected politicians

Ok o - make una continue to the fight for these politicians - my own is how to get a slice of these humungous contracts - Trust me, i will deliver on the terms of the contract.

If the Board stands its ground the employees will eventually buckle, all these ones na just gragra

All the members of the Board are already financially made but all the 550 employees some of whom already have heavy loans and credit card debts cannot afford to loose their jobs at the same time, forget they bullsh1t story there is no way Microsoft will readily employ the whole 550 of them!

You are thinking.....veiled empty threat. You can't threaten the Board of Directors like that when you are not even the regulator. Some people are not moved by threats. Rather, they are made stronger from threats. The 550 staff cannot resign enmass. If they see through this their threats, they will be replaced immediately......there are hundreds of AI scientists in India, US and around the globe waiting to fill in the space.

When will it reach nnewi

Nnewi is very terrible on roads. The city should rank as one of the most polluted and congested in the country. It baffles me why successive State governments in Anambra state have continued to neglect that town - An industrial hub for that matter!!! .

Nnewi ranks in the same category as Agbara, Ota, Trans Amadi and other industrial zones in the country. Sadly, the infrastructure in that town is decrepit and does not match with the billions of naira exchange in that town on regular basis. Their roads and other infrastructure are in a deplorable condition. Soludo should do the needful in that town - the people are very industrious, braving some infrastructure handicap to put up industries and other manufacturing plants, yet, the State governments treats the town as if it contributes nothing.

People say beards could be hereditary but my father no get beards but all of his sons carry huge beards like a male lion's mane.

I could not agree more with him. Well stated, especially from my own experience. You will see those family members that are asking for help breeding kids like rabbits. Once dem born, they will call you for support. It is terrible! One even had the boldness to call for money to do 75th birthday celebration for his mum....someone that have not been able to pay his kids school fees wants to do owambe party for his mum.

I still don't understand the kind juju wey this guy dey use.

No just do pass your power for this life. Do what you could and leave the rest. Take care of your health and check your vital signs all the time. Above all, exercise and exercise and exercise.

See class!!! Our standards in Nigeria is terribly low. Give a typical Nigerian government contractor this opportunity to design and furnish this kind space in Nigeria, you will be disappointed at what he would come up with. Archaic design and old school furniture will liter the whole space.

Algae

FAAN will not want to be indicted. They will counter Valuejet position as incorrect. Accepting that presence of Algae caused the skidding is indicting themselves of negligence in the maintenance of the runway. FAAN will rather blame it on the Pilot's error except if both FAAN and Valuejet reaches a "compromise " to both blame it on the "weather". Nobody can speak for the "weather", so it should rightly be the "fall" guy here in this incidence.

Worst nightmare of the elderly...…As a man, do not pre-dispose yourself to diabetics at this young age. It is not funny. I have seen people that are diabetic with its attendant health challenges.

Reduce your intake of carbonated drinks, sugars, heavy starchy meals and alcohol. Diabetics reduces the quality of ones happiness.

Christianity needs serious redemption in Nigeria. It has been thoroughly bastardized or rather, fast becoming an object of ridicule by some ignorant "Christians " like the resident pastor in this forum.

Top notch skills acquisition center is more preferable to University. If you see the kind of skill centers in Germany, you will know that we are still far behind. He should commit that money to building of skills acquisition centers and partner with City & Guilds of London for conduct of tradesperson skills examinations. Skills acquisition and blue collar jobs should be emphasized more than university degrees that adds nothing to the economy.

E don be for the driver if caught. Life imprisonment awaits him. Lagos state will prosecute him to the last. Driving in Lagos these days with constant fear of LASTMA and VIO is making Driving a nightmare. Na public transportation get me these days except if it is so important to go with my car.

They finished Dino. The "rigging " was very strategic. Pure class!!! The guy couldn't believe his eyes. The SDP guy was even the real challenger and people thought it was Dino.

Debt everywhere without any visible impact. The tragedy of Nigeria. From Local to State and to Federal, all tiers of the executive government is packing up Debt

Remain strong bro.

Some fathers always tends towards the more aggressive of their sons, thinking that he would be the one with likelihood of success in the future. The quiet and reserved ones are always chided.

Some fathers will prefer to go out with their more outspoken and extroverted son. The quiet and introverted ones are kept at home. But the reverse is the case with Mothers. They like and trust the more reserved, quiet and introverted ones. However, it is the quiet and the introverted that takes care of the parents more.

Know this and Know the truth: The last Pope of the Catholic Church was Carol Wojctila aka Pope John Paul the second, shown below. All other Pope that came after him are just pretenders to the throne, including the current occupier. The current occupier has watered down the very value and foundation of the church in this his so called reform just to be seen in the good books of the Liberal West.

The program that used to bring families together in the sitting room, waiting for the show to start. 8:30 to 9:00pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays on NTA. My father's favourite program. I remember my father's laughter on hearing the Zebrudaya's English and Jegede's unending fights with Nnati and Mazi Ndu-kenyi.

Life in the mid 80s and early 90s seemed sweet and memorable. God bless Eddie Kwansa, the composer of the sound track of the New Masquerade. His music was used as the soundtrack of the new Masquerade. You need to listen to that music.....the guitar intro of that music is out of this world.

Credit has to go also to Mr. Peter Igho, the Director of news and program then. The man was a seasoned professional. NTA used to parade array of top notch journalists in the 80s and 90s. It was always spectacular watching the NTA 9 O'clock news with my father, discussing issues and having conversation. Children these days hardly watch news with their parents. Everybody is with smart phones and tablets behaving like zombies.

This is his time. He will win at least one of the categories

In any situation, never forget the road that will lead you back home.

Nigerians and their format.......Nothing to blame on the immigration officer doing her job. You lied that You were coming on vacation with a heavily pregnant wife.... the truth is that they were coming to give birth. All these bullshit that there was no good hospital back home to take care of the " high risk " pregnancy na just format. Oyibo woman don decode their intention and my guy still dey yarn.

The headline though.

I thought they meant Tinubu should unilaterally pushed for cease fire between the warring parties.

My advice to men is to always establish the boundaries and assert their authority ab initio. Once courtship starts, show that you are in charge..... Don’t act gentle and holy, thinking she will love you more because of that. Na lie.....show your authority and be firm but don't ever shout or beat her.

Our ladies and their so called taste for porch and woke people.

As a parents, be interested in the relationship your daughter or son keeps. Do not say that they grown up and they can take care of themselves. Most of them are still kids and do not understand what relationship is all about. If any of my child starts keeping relationship or starts having suitors or going after suitor, i must know that person to their family roots. It is too expensive to leave your children to the society after going through a lot to train them.

Honestly, I fear diabetics pass HIV.... reason I ran away from anything soda, sugary drink and high carbohydrate foods. Just that I never gree leave jollof rice or ofe-akwu and white rice.
