Recently a Lt Col in the NIgerian army that was posted to Kaduna was also killed in Benue when his 'friend' reversed into him with his car, crushing him. Too many coincidences and evidences of foul play it seems.

Details of the events leading to the death of the celebrated young fighter pilot have emerged and it leaves one with so many questions. From the older sister’s interview with Channel’s TV, she said that the car had severe bump due to the impact which looks weird since the pilot barely weighed around 50kg. No one can also confirm that the driver was truly her classmate especially since the only one who can authoritatively confirm is dead. She was also said to have received an uneasy phone call from a senior officer telling her to report to the military base and she dies less than one hour after following that instruction to return.

This is my problem with posts such as this.
We have no database in Nigeria and because of this, our population figure is still a very big controversy. We cannot even perfectly know the number of babies born in the hospitals in a city. So what is the reference for these unemployment figures? Until we have a database that is well synced across the different agencies then we can't express accurate statistics. Where is the constant light sef for the computer servers?

I'm not understanding this. Are they not supposed to register the woman in MMM before she can get help ?

You called someone a dullard yet no post can be duller than yours.

Beer is suffering loss of market share mainly because many people now drink wine and champagne.

Nigeria is one of the places where the growth of champagne consumption is highest in the world.

Besides, do you know the reason for the increase in costs? Do you know if some of their debts went bad?

You're very right. I read about the high Nigerian wine consumption rate and it is amazing. If anyone is in doubt, just look around and you will find that places where you would have seen beer before now has more of wine - the red and black labels etc and champagne. Doubtless though, the breweries had a very good and long run making very good profits but like in every business, it is not about the past but about the present.

H[b][/b]e is 76 years old. He Is A Billionaire. Reputed To Have Not One, But SIX Private Jets. He Owns A Chateau In France, Once Occupied By Napoleon Bonaparte, The Emperor Of France. Friend Of Mobutu. Ally Of Kofi Annan. Associate Of Mandela. I Call Him The Emperor of Blinding Swagger. Terrific Swagger. He Is So Classy That Whenever He Enters A Restaurant To Eat, Everyone Else Must Leave Because He Cannot Eat With The 'Commoners'. He Takes Over Entire Restaurants For The Night To Avoid Encountering 'RiffRaff'. (Chai! Poor Man Don Suffer). Of All The Richest Nigerians I Know, None Comes Close To This Man When It Comes To The Level Of Style, 'Tooshness' & Money-Backed Aloofness. But Who Is He? How He Made His Money? His Marriages? Why He Left His House For A Hotel? 

Even though he is Nigerian, he was appointed the Permanent Representative of Central African Republic (CAR) at the United Nations in 1997 (ain't that classy?, but with the current turmoil in CAR, with former President Francois Bozize fleeing the nation, things are hazy). -Fernandez is said to have interests in the CAR's oil industry (at a time, he was the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Central African Republic). That does not include his bauxite (for aluminum) exports, gold mines (in Angola) and diamonds pits. He owns Petro Inett, an oil company. Petro Inett is just one of them. He also has shares in View, Sandcat Petroleum, Sanantonio, Goldfields, Voguehope, Grantdalem Inuola, Sandcat Goldfields (cat, cat, now I understand those two cats...lol), Woods and Petro Inett Equatorial Guinea.

-Before then, he had served as the Special Adviser to the President of Mozambique on International Economic Matters and from 1992-1995, he was the Ambassador-at-Large for the Republic of Togo and Angola.

-He was also once the Consul for Benin Republic (then Republic of Dahomey) (1966), made the Economic Advisor to the Angolan Government in 1982 (just for perspective, only Nigeria produces more oil than Angola in Africa, shey you gerrit?). To be specific, he was a long-time adviser to President José Eduardo dos Santos of Angola (he’s been ruling since 1975).


In 1984, he was the Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative of Mozambique to the United Nations. At a point, he was a Deputy Minister of Finance in Swaziland.

Jorussia:
chai see as oshiomhole. just abandon my state ( Edo). Oshiohmole come back home.

I am wondering if Adams has time to govern Edo state because after his wedding he has been to every party, rally and major event. please go back home governor Adams

TeamSimple:
Na for KOGI this guy go get bow-leg coz of their terrible routes..

If he is in Bida, then he has bypassed Kogi and will certainly come out via Suleja to Zuba and then straight to Abuja.

“We are not worried because it is only a matter of time, we are sure that in the near future, sooner than we probably expect, the same Femi Fani-Kayode will sing and dance ‘Fuji-gabej’ with praises for Governor Shettima,


This got me cracking with laughter

Hello guys, please I need help in getting genuine TPMS sensors for a Lexus GX470. Prefarably I will like to order from the manufacturer and have it delivered to Lagos. The problem I have is that the tire pressure light comes on (on the instruments panel) even after checking that my tires are properly gauged. Oftentimes, I get it cleared using the OBD device to synchronize it.
I will like to know if anyone has experienced such and most importantly, how I can go about getting the right TPMS sensors that I need.

This is so true and very sad. It seems like when it is time to get someone with no sure standards, integrity and who sits often on the fence and can sing praises when offered food, the sourcing road always leads to the west yet, this is supposed to be the most educated set of people in the country.
When Jonathan needed a media person, he invited Reuben Abati, an Ogun state indigene to the buffet table and he forgot all the insults he used to hurl at Jonathan before.
When it seemed like the job was too much for Abati, an addition was made in the person of Doyin Okupe, a man who had benefited immensely from Obasanjo but now he sings a new and different song.
When the campaign war seemed herculean a task, a Fani Kayode was also invited to the table and the most astonishing thing is that these men suddenly forget all that they have said in the past. I wonder what kind of brain freeze happens to them.
It is pathetic and though I am from the west, I cannot but marvel that these men and much more are often from the western part of Nigeria.

Men of integrity always believe in something and they never change boats for the kind of reasons these men change theirs.

Ifayiose......

Do you observe that most of the people talking anyhow, both in the ruling party and the opposition are Yorubas. Perhaps we take things too far. Even from Baba, Okupe, Fani, Layi, Fayose, Abati, Mimiko, even gani adams......

The likes of Maku are out of the scene now. IBB iڪ diplomatic. Akpabio sef seem to be in his shells lately.

Yoruba......... RONU!

I love this part of the post.

“You may say whatever you like about Buhari, but in terms of the character, the steel, the competence to lead the nation out of this period of insurgency, nobody can compare a Jonathan to a Buhari. Just imagine the service chiefs (who were probably in secondary school when Buhari and others fought the civil war) sitting in front of Buhari to brief him about the situation in the North-east, and attempting to mislead him about movements of artillery, brigades or troops and, the strategy against the enemy,” Keyamo said.

Mr Jorlons, please wake up. Some of us are interested in this fight of yours.

en warever if you don't I will, its too early, too cold plus I'm very tired and too sleepy to argue this early momo.

Demonstrators stoning the police

There has been deep rooted speculations over the nationality of the Gabonese president - Ali Bongo, with many claiming that he is of Nigerian descent. Presently there is crisis in the Central African country and part of the grievances is that they cannot have a foreigner (Nigerian) ruling them.

Links to the current crisis can be found below:

..............It is important to include in this report that President Ali Bongo had filed in France a complaint against Pierre Pean author of a book defending the theses that he is of Nigerian heritage.

Omexonomy: Why did gej faild to give the shildren of the mad O' proffesor a public office to loot and steal public fund like thief stella odua?

Intellectuals hear and weigh words with sensible reasoning; even when they disagree, they are civil about it and instead will throw in mind blowing thoughts which would shed more light on the matter. If you read through the whole piece which i doubt you did, you would see that all the plea of the prof is for Jonathan to be decisive and take the right actions. Must we always be biased in this country? it really beats my imagination how the political leaders in this country have infected so many people with the notion that - "if you aren't in agreement with someone, you must hate him and also hate everything he ever represents". Even dullards make sense sometimes, how much more a professor of his callibre.

SiriusBlack: Thanks for the concern...the COAS said nobody should "report" for the army...whatever that means...I'm done bro..if that is all the Army can say about this thread, then...............
Just pray for me..and evry soldier, policeman, customs, DSS and immigration personnel at the frontlines...
Goodbye bro...ill deactivate my accnt soon.

I doff my hat and give you a laudable salute o comrade. words can be deep yet pictures pierce much more deeper and this we have seen in the pictures and reports you gave us from the frontlines. We were able to have a better, clearer, sharper and unbiased view of that the war is like which cleared out the dross that we had gotten from the newspapers and other biased agents.
Every beginning will definitely have an end and even if you don't decide to go now, the war will surely end one day and it would still be over. So for the courage and passion you have for this cause, I salute you and pray that God will keep you and your other comrades on the frontline.
Be sure to know that you have made history in the hearts of countless individuals and this even goes far beyond nairaland. God bless you as you fight gallantly.

@ Rossikki & Aigbofa; I don't think there is any valid reason why you guys have to engage in an electronic war based on personal views and opinions. I think both your opinions are reasonable with some amendment I dare to state below -

The picture above is two faced. Firstly it brings to mind the recklessness and sheer disregard the colonial lords had for us. Despite using our resources massively to develop their homeland, they did much lower than they were able to help the country develop both infrastructurally and in human capital development. Yes, on the surface they made some marks too in helping us set up a structure of governance and an educational system which was like an offshoot of theirs but the truth is that, their allegiance and major interest was for their own homeland. Can we blame them?
On the other hand it also brings to mind a comparison between what these innocent pupils had to gain as against what such kids stand to gain in the country at present. Back then, there was free education, the teachers were sound, classes were't super congested like now; diligence and brilliance paid off quite well and so that generation produced pioneers in virtually several fields and profession. In comparison, now we have so many militating factors and we have not consolidated what men like Awo and the like strove for and were passionate about. We have an advantage in this generation because science and the computer world has evolved but yet the management of the country's resources even under indigenous rule have been grossly disappointing.

So please, no more fighting please.

Rossikki: What ''standard of education'' are you talking about? At 8% literacy rate? In 1952 primary school was available only to a tiny few, not to mention secondary. Forget university. Why do you think most of our grandparents were illiterates? Peasants? They were born under British rule. Why were they not lawyers, doctors, bankers, professionals like many of us are today? I doubt up to 1 in 20 of us on NL had a grandparent who was a professional in any modern field of endeavour. In 1952 no real institution of higher learning existed in Nigeria (after 55 years of continuous white rule). Zik, Awo and co were not educated in Nigeria. There were no universities here. They had to go abroad. So what is this 'high standard of education' stuff? What education? it is now that we are seeing education. Yes we know the standards could be higher, BUT if given a choice between 'low standard' schools and 'no schools at all' I know which I'd take in an instant! Thousands of Nigerians who attended those so called 'poor schools' are excelling today in various fields of endeavour throughout the world from medicine to engineering and rocket science!!

Nice work Sirius and we all pray that God will protect you and all our gallant soldiers on the battle front.

I am a bit worried that no one is talking about effective border control. No matter the level of success our boys attain in this war, I am afraid that unless we have a plan on effective border policing and control, the victory might be short lived.
I believe that technology has advanced so much that the size of the northern terrain shouldn't make it impossible to control like the current case where we have over a hundred entry points into Nigeria from the northern axis.
I remember Jonathan made some comments about 2 years ago on getting the immigration to hand over surveillance planes to the NAF but till today, nothing has come out of that and most people have forgotten. A constant air patrol or even drone reconnaissance mission will go a long way in helping us in this fight. Imagine gathering information and knowing that the BH villains are on the march to attack a station, then deploying a GPS controlled missile to clear them off thereby eliminating physical engagement with the ground troops.
In as much as I admire and will always respect the traditional style of warfare, I believe that there is so much advantage that technology can bring our way to minimize losses on the Nigerian side and maximize the casualties on the side of the nut heads who are bent on destroying the nation.

SiriusBlack: I am INDEED flattered by the posts here...Nice to know that some peeps care about the current CT-COIN operations in the N.E from the angle of troops based there...The data loss on NL, was no doubt heart-breeaking and disappointing ....I decided not to re-register or restart my online campaign but...I stumbled on Henry120 's thread and I wat touched...he has, despite the massive loss of pages and pictorials, resumed posting..I then decided to start over...I, on the other hand, doubt that the Security agencies had anything to do with the crash...I'm quite sure that it was a server meltdown..I will, tommorow by God's Grace, restart the thread..Thanks for the Concern..
God bless you Sirs.

Hey dude, welcome back

Please where is Sirus, the dude who gives pictorial updates on the curbing of the BH insurgency by the Nigerian army?
It is sad to know that the whole informative info he gave have been lost to the nairaland crash but please Sirus, don't lose heart cos some of us enjoy the update and pictures you post.

I have learnt in life never to be quick to judge or analyze matters before hearing both sides of the story or knowing the mindset of the first crying party. The OP got my attention until she made the slip by the strong reference to what they acquired (next time don't mention the specifics) if really the jealousy was confirmed. Also, I have heard the 'Ofe mma nu' line fired at me severally and I know it is derogatory.


@OP, my advise is this - try to be positive and never assume. I am sure if you see a guy and girl holding hands, you might assume they have done all sorts together rather than also thinking maybe they are platonic friends, cousins or just an innocent gesture. I am not perfect and neither are you but please just be positive and remember that when a man buys a shoe, he should remember that some are buying shoe factories.
The state of our nation has corrupted our minds so much that we don't think straight anymore. Competition is so in vogue now that we measure ourselves in terms of assets and our value system have become so out of line.

S@NNiE:
this whole drama reeks of Mossad involvement right from the beginning. the DSS needs to know that in the clandestine world of espionage "ANYTHING CAN BE STAGED". Mossad pointed the DSS in the direction of the house in kano, well nations help each other in intelligence gathering, but every secret service knows that apart from snooping around, suspect interrogation reveal loads of information, the suspects speak fluent English yet this interrogation was done in a foreign language with the DSS playing audience in their own playground.
there's more to this than meets the eye, DSS needs to assume the driver's seat pronto

I don't think the DSS would be so weak as not to have agents on ground who are fluent in arabic. I believe it is just a case of agency collaboration with some planned psychological effects on the suspects - so they can know that the issue is not just limited to Nigeria but that the anti-terrorism world is very much interested

As strange as his release might sound, I believe that he still has much to offer this country despite his high handedness and gross abuse of power such that Generals feared a major like him in his days of active service.
This man secured and guarded Abacha for years and he understands the security and political frame of Nigeria so well.I know he is not indispensable but his release might bring clarity to many salient issues in those dark years. Advanced nations will likely not waste a man like him but rather, glean him and use his vast intelligence for the good of the nation. My thoughts anyway!

I love the "carried you for 9 months" part. This is an emotional backlash as if the baby had a say in his/her coming.

@Most:
@op
you really vented. Ar u wrtg somwat from personal xperience?
Thank God for d internet and d opportunity, its given ppl to air their minds. The world as a whole has suffered 2 long frm oppresion of truth.
I wantd to create a post titled: Parents d greatest Manipulators On Earth- based on personal experience and the charades i see played out in society. Some of these set of ppl called parents are outright devils. Satanic tools of manipulaton. And som hav wrecked their childrens destinies.
Their atrocities ar always justified because theyr parents. Parents like ive seen want docile goats dat obey them unquestioningly, wen yung som children hav been drilld to obey mum n dad either thru merciless beatg , still is d case in som homes.
Or shame/guilt inducemnt :
harrasment. Disgracg child in public etc.
Threateng child either with disownment(removg name
Especially in afrca, this satanic culture is accepted as d norm,
some mothers will stupidly try 2 use d pregnancy thng to manipulate.. (i carried u for 9 months. I cud hav divorced u bla bla bla )...
If u ddnt hav a child u'd b puttg in prayer requests and calling God unjust.

The Nigerian driving terrain is quite different from what is obtainable in other countries. A certified driver in Europe or elsewhere will find it hard to drive in Lagos but I don't think this is still a valid reason why the IDP should not be honoured.
In Nigeria, we do not just learn how to drive but add on several other expertise to the art.

A practical Naija driving school should have this course outline
Advanced driving lessons for paranormal conditions
- Pothole navigation
- Anger management and psychology (as per other road users)
- Siren, convoy and entourage management
- Police relationship management
- Police behavioral science
- understanding vehicle particulars (as per region/state)

Preposition is a function word in English language that is used to combine nouns or pronouns. Apart from mistakes in tenses which are very noticeable, wrong use of prepositions also stick out like a sore thumb and strikes the grammatical ear drum of some people in an inordinate way.
It is very likely you did not read through your post before posting but I will rather assume otherwise especially since I read that you are a moderator and also have a blog.

OP, if truly you are sorry and ready to retrace your steps in the spirit of understanding and a better knowledge, then you wouldn't have read up to 10 responses to your post before calling your man (if he still is by the way) and making amends.
