Yes, this is what happens when criminals that should be in jail are left roaming the streets -THEY'D START DEMANDING FOR THEIR RIGHTS!!
In countries where the rule of law is upheld by governments that have a high sense of social justice, Amos Adamu would be prosecuted for corruption and treasonable conduct. He's so corrupt that he can't even think straight any more. How disgusting!!

Anyone but IBB would do. IBB is purely diabolical

"Dauda the sexy guy" in "Lolly" Magazine series. He is one hell of a Hot prick!

JAVIER BARDEM - In "No Country For Old Men", He was as bad as a villain could ever be.

@Poster,

Firstly, in your opening statement you said Akintola Williams Deloitte is the largest consultancy of it's kind in the world. That is a misleading statement, and the report in the reference link that you gave did not mention the growth rate or the size of Deloitte's Nigerian franchise (Akintola Williams)
Secondly, are you in a position where you are considering a job offer from both AWD and KPMG? or is this a tongue in the cheek poster to advertise the prowess of one company over the other?

Has any one noticed that most scammers are actually very dumb? Just me thinking aloud.

CRIPPLED!!

Super Eagles don't deserve to progress from this stage. It will be a sad loss to Zambia if they lose out here.

Poor guys. They are being made to overwork their Rse because they have an extremely inept coach.

If Amodu plays 1 striker against Zambia then maybe he will not play any striker against Ghana(!!!) Then check out his substitutions- like for like with no clear intent to turn around the game. What a fool!

Shuaibu played a formation that tied up the players' creativity. playing 2 defensive midfielders and using 1 striker upfront hoping that some-how ball will be getting to striker??!! Even if we win this match, Amodu has finally proved that he is not a world cup coach. What a fool!

This is definitely not a world cup team.

OFONE!!! Nigeria is going Nu-Killer!!

This is year 2009, after 10years of democracy; there is no security, no water supply, unemployment is higher than 75%, public infrastructure (mostly built in the 70's) are decaying without replacement, standard of education is rundown; and probably most embarrassingly, Nigeria is still without substantial power supply.
A clock is ticking fast and hour ZERO is approaching! If those bunch of fat, selfish, smiling clepto-bastards that call themselves "politicians" don't get there acts together and start serving the populace, this entity called "Nigeria" could finally self destruct!

Nice Lumpy chick there! Yes that one carrying poster on page 1. Thor, what's her name? Gbosko will like to know her.

Question - Why do Nigerian web developers use the colour green?

Answer - Because green is the colour of envy.

Pennywise:

Even though some will find the above patronizing and condescending of Penfold, I nevertheless welcome it.If you had said "you may be wrong because the CDC wont certify a teratogeic/carcinogenic drug. . . ." you would have saved both of us a lot of time rather than "Wrong!!! If its a carcinogen or teratogen, u can be sure the patent wouldn't fly in the US, every drug patented and marketed by licensed pharmaceutical companies gets certified by CDC".One is left with no option but assume that you are infallible and in some way truly linked to the supernatural as your location suggests.

Secondly, I havent said pennywise is a scientist neither have I said I am a professional of any kind.The operative ethic I am aware of right now is NL ethic which allows me to shit on your head. Thank you.

You're 100% correct on this. There is nothing wrong with healthy criticism of pharmaceutical discoveries of this kind. Unfortunately critical examination of issues is usually frowned by the ignorant and poorly educated, and you might even be branded as unpatriotic. While we bask in the euphoria of this success by a Nigerian, the Health authorities (permit my language, I'm not a medical practitioner) should demand that continued clinical tests should continue to get a well documented trend of systemic response over long period of drug usage. Imagine the backlash on the image of Nigerian scientists if after 5years, it was found out that people that had been cure of diabetes had started having acute forms of liver failure. I no want wahala O!

Kobojunkie:

@Gbosko, for your posts on here, be sure you have my vote should you ever run for office in that country. I don't care if you turn out to be like the others but for the genuine piece on here, I am selling my vote to you. You and one of the very very few who seems to sincerely care about the welfare of the people and not how many more honor badges we can award anyone else. Thank you for being you and I hope you never change for Nigeria's sake.

Now, if we disagree on other issues, do not be suprised if blood flows cause I like to keep things fair and balanced.

Thanks my good old Junkie. And I fully understand that blood could flow when our paths might cross later and. I am sure we are both aware of the rules of engagement. Cheers!

Nigerians in Nigeria should first be allowed to vote and transit government in an atmosphere of peace and fairness devoid of rigging and bitterness. Then we can start thinking of involving Nigerians in diaspora because then we would be sure that the diaspora votes would count. Anything short of that would be stupid and could be likened to Nigeria placing satellite in space when electricity cannot be kept steady for 3hours in most of the major cities. Gbam!

JJYOU:

it is good to provide alternatives but these people should never have been in there in the first place.  why are we turning every available space of land to market in naija?thanks for this information. nigerians are generally lawless

Yes, people should never have been there in the first place and we Nigerians can be unruly. But Nigerians have been boxed into a corner and many would do anything just to survive. Arguably a sizable percentage of this country survive by one form of street marketing or the other (depending on how the market is defined). Those people are Nigerians are deserve all due considerations. I don't believe that the people who took to street selling and marketing at odd spots would have gone into such ventures if past govts have done the right thing by modernizing commerce in Lagos and providing market outlets which are affordable to the masses. Now the damage is done and someone had just appeared on the scene trying to fix what's gone wrong. Good. Alternatives need be provided and mass mobilization is very necessary.

I hate to say dis. I think dis President should just "Please" die!
Die Yar Ardua! Die Motha Chinko! Die-Die-Die-Die-Die-Die-Die-------DIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!

If alternative sites were provided for these makeshift markets and all the logistic issues properly covered for (transport, accessibility, affordability, and security), and the marketers and street peddlers were given an extended period of notice, then the government would be right to raze down the markets at the expiration of an ample notice period. Otherwise, it would be callous for the govt to suddenly start market eviction. We Nigerians know ourselves for what we are. We want to live in comfort and we'll go to beautiful cities all over the world just to catch fun or make a living but we are hardly ever ready to make the sacrifices necessary for national transformation.

Guys, Crime in Nigeria is different from crime in any other place. In Nigeria, the government is the main crime machine, politicians and govt officials are the operators, and the citizens are the foot soldiers. I think self consolatory statements like "After all, there is fraud in every country" are simplistic and simply diversive from the real nature of the canker worm that has eaten up Nigeria.
I'm an honest, hardworking, and God fearing Nigerian who lives abroad. Out here, daily, I try to stand tall "proudly Nigerian" but men, is it difficult to convince even the most receptive foreigner? Is there really anything to be proud about our way of life? Nof said.

I just wanna play the part of a bad arced mother 4ker who keeps killing all the good guys. I want to be that bad arce man in "No Country for Old Men

chamotex:

I'm still not sure about the nxt round but i don't think Nigeria will be facing CIV or Cameroun because I believe they are all first seeds.

You dey fear? Afraid dey shake you, Ehn?

@Mon Amie,

I totally agree with you. I think the dude is probably a deranged man who has access to internet. His senseless rantings about those strange names he keep mentioning in vernacular only further confirms that he is in desperate need of a shrink. Check out his nairaland thread on "The Niger Bridge about to collapse".

@ Quotasyste,

Sorry Quotasyste, your predicament is fully understood. I promise you, I trade punch with a disabled mind.

QuotaSyste:

It's your illiterate clan that are the desperate opportunists. If the oil in Chad basin that's in your northern nigeria awusa backyard does not belong to you northern nigerian awusas, how then does oil in far away many thousands of miles in niger delta belong to you? Again you seems like a psychiatric person by suggesting that oil found in niger delta should be for all nigerians because it wasn't there fore fathers that planted the oil there in the first place.

I guess, going by your myopic and illiterate, deranged, mental person's logic, the USA and other countries are not suppose to be paying for oil found in your muslim brothers middle eastern countries because any oil found in this world must be free for all the peoples of the world. I wonder why other world nations pay money to your awusa controlled government of nigeria to buy oil from nigeria since it wasn't the fore fathers of nigerians that planted the oil in the place known as nigeria. Don't you see how stupid you sound with your mental mad man logic?

On the other hand, can you please come up with the revenue sharing formula of nigeria's resources before oil was found. Y[b]ou are ahlmajiri illiterate and i know[/b] that once you ask questions or do your research to find out how the sharing formula was then before the discovery of oil at oloibiri niger delata, you won't come back to this thread anymore. But, i promise to hunt you in all threads to provide the revenue sharing formula before oil was found so everyone can see it and. Shame will not allow you to come back to this thread and your only option will be to change handle once again a[b]s you normally does when your illiterate porous head is expose[/b]. I am waiting for you.

@Quotasyste,

I've followed quite a number of your contributions both on this thread and other threads (including your thread about "The Collapsing Niger Bridge" A lot of people do observe that five fundamental issues are characteristic of your response to issues -

1. Aggressive and abusive use of language.
2. Sectionalism and Unabated tribalistic rantings
3. Poor grasp of issues and facts.
4. Poor written communication skills, and
5. Deep seething bitterness and frustration.

Whatever is making you so angry cannot be solved by you trying so hard to fan the embers of hatred and tribalism. It only makes matters worse for the country. And this was the mistake our parents have been making since the life of this nation. Do ask your self - what kind of country do you want to leave to your children when you die?.

Guys need to pray. The bail out is just a lease of hope. It doesn't guarantee, for sure, that the world economy will bounce back. This drool may last for a while before total normalcy returns.

A-town:

Since a lot of people don't understand the reasoning behind "expressions" , i will clarify it. If we were actual monkeys, we would be eating bananas and clinging on trees.
I am tired of everyone making this unnecessary statement, "i am not a monkey, maybe a-town is the monkey"
Lets stop being illiterates. There is obviously a difference between "Africans" and "Monkeys", although sometimes e dey hard to differentiate.
The whole plot is simply to illustrate that our attitude/behavior is no different from Monkeys.
Spare me all the literature. I know we are not monkeys. Do monkeys speak english?
The statement was just a vivid comparison. It is left for you to tell me why i can't compare us to monkeys

A nation where a govt parastatal can claim they paid 5 billion naira as bribe to militants
A nation where a govt official can pay 800 million naira for voodoo,
A nation that likes to "copy copy" the west without proper reasoning/ideas (Fela, zombie ooo zombie!!!)
A nation that is one of the largest exporter of crude oil and at the same time, one of the largest importers of petrol!!!!!!!!!
A nation where police officers openly tell you to go to an ATM to get money for bribe if you don't have enough in your car, i no dey lie ooo, they did it to me
A nation where political idiots use money to buy AK-47's to arm youths. Money that can feed their communities for at least 2yrs.
A nation where parents carry "orijo/expo" for their kids in primary school!!
The list is endless

What is the difference between this land of yours and the monkey world?
Why shouldn't i compare us to monkeys?

We all know about these things. And thanks for reminding us who your Forefather was. Now, what do you suggest should be done about the MEND menace?

carmelily:

i've been following this thread and believe me, i was torn between laughing along with gamine and kobojunkie, and being a tribalist like the vast majority of posters here. I've just made up my mind. to laugh, and laugh, and laugh, and laugh. _{forgive the spamming}

But what other reaction suits this hullabaloo over a falling bridge when every single infrastructure around us is falling apart and decaying?? How many street lights work in cities where they are available? how many lives are lost daily as a result of decadent transport systems? how many Nigerians die senselessly daily as a result of lack of security and basic amenities?
or something like that. whoever made that infantile comment should be banned and given 100 bulala publicly. Na only Igbos dey use the bridge eh kwa? biko, ka anyi kwu maka ihe ozo.

Carmelily,

May your wisdom continue to blossom!
And may the laughter of all the Nigerians that have shown determination to remain happy in the midst of all this shit never end.
