kodded:Bros, you sure say that first picture na Lagos? Because e no resemble am at all at all. Hope no be propaganda una dey so? Na questions I dey ask oo. Besides, Portharcourt, Calabar, Benin, Eket, Uyo etcetera no be part of Niger Delta? Make una dey shufrey shufrey lie na. |
when man pikin like me they clamour for the inclusion of some players, some people go think say I dey crazy. ![]() Although, Onazi did not play well today but we still need am wella. Make una never forget lussy na em una follow play today and no be Spank am ooook Stephen Keshi stylishly excluded Raheem Lawal out of the National team for his boys. We know na. Ndidi was initially brought to the National team based on favourism because at that time he was a bench warmer. But with his performance this season, he deserves to be called to the National team. As you can see he justified his invitation with a laudable performance. Iheanacho! The boy dey prove say em be oga for scoring goals but make una never compare with.. em! em!....... Van hau abi na wetin dem dey call. Iheanacho na still d young shall grow. Iwobi we know who dey clamour for akata. Una don dey see results kwa! |

Chartey:Point of correction, Yoruba: Niger, Delta, Kogi, Kwara, Oyo, Osun, Edo, Lagos, Ekiti, Ondo and Ogun. |
The main priority of this match is to test new players but so far most of those players are giving a permanent place on the bench. Tactically denning them the opportunity to showcase their talent for the world to see and judge. I don't want to hear they played 5mins or 10 minutes. That is a misplace priority or the normal schism Nigerian coaches use to deny these lads to prove themselves for us to judge. We have seen Stephen Keshi played out such schism on several occasions with players he doesn't want to shine because he presumed his boys will no longer be acceptable to the Nigerian fans once the players turn out to be good. And could block his chop chop ways. This is the Nigerian coaches way to sell market. I am observing Yusuf Mohammed with my two koro koro eyes. Beni! It is no longer business as usual. Yusuf Yusuf Yusuf! How many times did I call you? Tonight, give those new players at least 30 minutes each for us to judge them ourselves. I no wan see Omerue, Abdullahi-shehu, etcetera play tonight because I don know wetin dem fit play. |
Hmm! Trending last month was the herdsmen.... Trending now are Niger Delta boys. If we critical examine the tribes of the perpetrators behind these groups.

since1914:Can you please show me a picture of a classical design, contemporary designs and medieval design(are they called classical) |
skimanski:Bros, the cantilevers in our house are many and it looks like the ones below(in your post). I can see this house made use of the space below with nice designs but ours don't have any design. It's just space. However, what do you think can be done to a house that has a licking rooftop made of cements. Will the licking roof cause damages? What kind of damages? Can one build on the deck with this kind of roofing style (below picture) or with whatever you think is best? We may require your service to design, for reconstruction and interior design. Thanks

Willow08:Well, i can't speak for others but as for my family mansion, the living room is a blend of wooden walls, glass wall and window blind. But the insecurity that comes with it scares alot of Nigerians from this window concept. Me self fear before I no go lie. The first is just the replica of the living room but with wooden walls. |
terzurum5: Very funny. Some people never see shumting dem eye go soon clear. |
Chiznonso:Chai! People can lie. When was OAU and UI built? When did Nigeria experience oil boom? http://economics.onlinenigeria.com/?blurb=490 |
INTERNATIONAL INVOLVEMENT BRITAIN The British planned to maintain and expand their supply of cheap high-quality oil from Nigeria. Therefore they placed a high priority on maintenance of oil extraction and refining operations. They backed the Federal Government, but when the war broke out cautioned them not to damage British oil installations in the East. These oilworks, under the control of Shell-BP Petroleum Development Company (jointly owned by Shell and British Petroleum), controlled 84% of Nigeria's 580,000 barrels per day. Two-thirds of this oil came from the Eastern region, and another third from the newly created Mid-West region. Two-fifths of all Nigerian oil ended up in Britain.[57] Shell-BP therefore considered carefully a request by the Federal Government that it not pay the royalties demanded by Biafra. Its lawyers advised that payment to Biafra would be appropriate if this government did in fact maintain law and order in the region in question. The British government advised that paying Biafra could undermine the goodwill of the Federal Government. However, the payment was made, resulting in a blockade on oil.[57] Forced to choose a side, Shell-BP and the British government threw in their lot with the Federal Government in Lagos, apparently calculating that this side would be more likely to win the war.[[/b]66] As the British High Commissioner in Lagos wrote to the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs on 27 July 1967: During the war, [b]Britain covertly supplied Nigeria with weapons and military intelligence and may have also helped it to hire mercenaries.[[/b]68] After the decision was made to back Nigeria, the BBC oriented its reporting to favor this side.[69] Supplies provided to the Federal Military Government included two vessels and 60 vehicles.[70] In Britain, the humanitarian campaign around Biafra began on 12 June 1968, with media coverage on ITV and in The Sun. The charities Oxfam and Save the Children Fund were soon deployed, with large sums of money at their disposal.[71] [b]FRANCE France provided weapons, mercenary fighters, and other assistance to Biafra and promoted its cause internationally, describing the situation as a genocide. Charles de Gaulle referred to "Biafra's just and noble cause".[72] However, France did not recognise Biafra diplomatically.[73] Through Pierre Laureys, France had apparently provided two B-26s, Alouette helicopters, and pilots.[74] France supplied Biafra with captured German and Italian weapons from World War II, sans serial numbers, delivered as part of regular shipments to Côte d'Ivoire.[75] France also sold Panhard armored vehicles to the Nigerian federal government.[76] French involvement in the war can be viewed in the context of its geopolitical strategy (Françafrique) and competition with the English in West Africa. Nigeria represented a base of British influence in the predominantly French-aligned area. France and Portugal used nearby countries in their sphere of influence, especially Côte d'Ivoire under President Félix Houphouët-Boigny, as waystations for shipments to Biafra.[72][77] To some extent, also, France repeated its earlier policy from the Congo Crisis, when it supported the secession of the southern mining province Katanga.[78].......... France led the way, internationally, for political support of Biafra.[80] Portugal also sent weapons. These transactions were arranged through the "Biafran Historical Research Centre" in Paris.[83] French-aligned Gabon and Côte d'Ivoire recognised Biafra in May 1968.[84] On 8 May 1968, De Gaulle personally contributed 30,000 francs to medicine purchases for the French Red Cross mission. Fairly widespread student-worker unrest diverted the government's attention only temporarily. [b]The government declared an arms embargo but maintained arms shipments to Biafra unde[/b]r cover of humanitarian aid.[85] In France declared "Biafra Week" on 11–17 March 1969, United States of America Edit The United States officially declared neutrality, with US Secretary of State Dean Rusk stating that "America is not in a position to take action as Nigeria is an area under British influence",[60] but nevertheless provided military assistance to the Nigeria government.[60] Formally, the United States was neutral in the civil war. Strategically, its interests aligned with the Federal Military Government. [/b]The US also saw value in its alliance with Lagos, and sought to protect $800 million (in the assessment of the State Department) worth of private investment.[89] [b]SOVIET UNION[/b]Edit The Soviet Union strongly backed the Nigerian government, emphasising the similarity with the Congo situation. [b]It consistently supplied Nigeria with weapons, with the diplomatic disclaimer that these were "strictly for cash on a commercial basis". I[/b]n [b]ISRAEL ![]() From early on, Israel perceived that Nigeria would be an important player in West African politics, and saw good relations with Lagos as an important foreign policy objective. Nigeria and Israel established a linkage in 1957. In 1960 Britain allowed the creation of an Israeli diplomatic mission in Lagos, and Israel made a $10 million loan to the Nigerian government. Israel also developed a cultural relation with the Igbos based on possible shared traditions. These moves represented a significant diplomatic success given the Muslim orientation of the northern-dominated government. Some northern leaders disapproved of contact with Israel and banned Israelis from Maiduguri and Sokoto.[92] Israel did not begin arms sales to Nigeria until after Aguyi-Ironsi came to power in January 1966. This was considered an opportune time to develop this relationship with the federal government, because Aguyi-Ironsi was Igbo. Ram Nirgad became Israeli ambassador to Nigeria in January. Thirty tons of mortar rounds were delivered in April.[93] The Eastern Region began seeking assistance from Israel in September 1966. Israel apparently turned down their requests repeatedly, although they may have put the Biafran representatives in contact with another arms dealer.[94] In 1968, Israel began supplying the Federal Military Government with arms—about $500,000 worth, according to the US State Department.[95] Meanwhile, as elsewhere, the situation in Biafra became publicised as a genocide. The Knesset publicly debated this issue on 17 and 22 July 1968, winning applause from the press for its sensitivity. Right-wing and left-wing political groups, and student activists, spoke for Biafra.[96] In August 1968, the Israeli air force overtly sent twelve tons of food aid to a nearby site outside of Nigerian (Biafran) air space. Covertly, Mossad provided Biafra with $100,000 (through Zurich) and attempted an arms shipment. Soon after, Israel arranged to make clandestine weapons shipments to Biafra using Côte d'Ivoire transport planes.[97] Other countries Edit Biafra appealed unsuccessfully for support from the Organisation of African Unity, whose member states generally did not want to support internal secessionist movements.[98] Although they received the support of African countries such as Tanzania, Zambia, Gabon, Ivory Coast, and Côte d’Ivoire. Nigeria received support from Egypt, which provided pilots to fly the aircraft procured by the Soviet Union.[99] Biafra surrounded https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Civil_War |
kettykin:In as much as, I have always avoided discussing the sensitive issues regarding the Nigerian Civil war. I gladly take it upon myself to pinpoint and correct some notions in your write up. The issue that Nigeria fought alongside these countries with their troops on ground against the Biafran soldiers is a gross misconception. Except for the Egyptians aircraft. Therefore, I will like to correct this fallacy by saying that the Nigerian government was only supported by these with weapons and military intelligence and that was all. Likewise, the Biafrans got weapons and military intelligence from France and others. And some machineries from Europe. They were never physical engaged in the battle field.

mesoprogress:Who are the Niger Delta Avengers? Your guess is as good as mine if you say 'IJAW'. Will the Itsekiris belong to Niger Delta Republic made up of mostly IJAWS that is claiming Gbaramatu enclave which legally and traditionally belongs to Itsekiri? That will be suicidal. I think it should be called the IJAWS Avengers. ![]() |
989900B:Hmm! I see. I am thinking it is Bonga but I think in this case they must have applied international law to justify their claim. Many people eye go clear wen dey achieve their aim of succeeding. Thanks. |

we always want easy things which is not helping at all. we also have abundance of wood so i think buying cheap shouldn't be a problem. while building always inspect and correct few mistakes made here or there. And God bless if you are an interior designer. it will be quite easy to in corporate designs found on-line.
, many people don't know what beauty beholds a house with glass walls and frame-less doors. the figure below shows example of smart designs with cheap expenditures. polished wooden glass walls and windows and doors will do, especially if you are building a bali styled house (fig Unit12 voor) . cheap but beautiful,you don't need curtains rather go for window blinds. by the way, do we use window blinds in Nigeria?, its definitely alien to most Nigerians (smh)
