How much do you want for the GTA4?

About 15k. Go to Saka Tinubu in V/I.

I started smoking when I was 17 in 1997 and stopped middle of last year. Before then I had stopped smoking but no longer than a month. Now January 2010 makes it my 7th month without a cigarette. I did it without nicotine patches or any othe system, but simply stopped cold turkey.

Yes there were periods immediately after I stopped when I felt irritable and was dying for a smoke, but I distracted myself by doing other things. The important thing to know is that the urge to light up usually goes away after a couple of minutes. The trick, really, is having strong will and remaining focused on your goal. Cigarettes are merely crutches and only end up making you feel worse than the thing that pushes you to smoke one. They will make you feel ill and leave you operating at less than your full potential for as long as you smoke them. The idea is to remain focused. I assure you that quitting for only a month will reduce your urge to smoke to negligible levels.

While they say that an ex-smoker will never get over the urge to light up a cigarette as long as he/she lives, I don't find this to be the case. When offered a cigarette by friends who still smoke (those who haven't stopped smoking will resent the fact that you've stopped, no matter what they say), I realise that the only thing that can compel me to light up at that point is the pressure to appear "cool" and not any nicotine urge.

Ultimately my point is that, despite what anyone will tell you, cigarette smoking, though slightly difficult, is indeed possible to be stopped without resorting to nicotine patches but merely by internal strength of will. It is certainly easier than buying petrol these days. I commend your effort and wish you luck.

This'll surely cause inflation.

Kidnappers, who on Monday afternoon in Igoli, Ogoja, northern Cross River State, abducted Mrs Victotria Ickeke Idiege Omang, second wife of a Cross River State House of Assembly member, have turned down an offer of N10 million, describing the sum as “an insult”.

A source close to the lawmaker, who represents Bekwara Constituency in the Cross River State House of Assembly, told P.M. NEWS today that the kidnappers are insisting on collecting the N50 million ransom they earlier demanded.

The source said the legislator has been keeping close touch with the kidnappers “and from the voices in the background which sound like Tiv, we can decipher that the woman is likely held in Benue State which shares a boundary with Gakem, the Cross River village where Idiege comes from.”

Willy Akobi, the personal assistant (domestic) to Hon Idiege disclosed to P.M. NEWS that a meeting of the entire Gakem village was held yesterday to discuss the turn of events in the village.

“And so many things were discussed which I cannot tell you on phone but I can reliably tell you that we are in contact with them (kidnappers), ” he said .

Hon Idiege, who was attacked by robbers early this year soon after the death of his opponent in the 2007 House of Assembly election for the Bekwara Constituency, is considered a no nonsense man.

He is the chairman of the Cross River State House of Assembly Committee on Public Accounts.

He is said to be a tough nut for local government chairmen in the state in his relentless pursuit of accountability.

“He was a council chairman before and he knows the antics of council officials and he is always on their neck. Most of them do not like him,” a source in the House of Assembly declared.

The police are still keeping vigil in his country home in Gakem, Bekwara, where Victoria was residing before she was abducted.

Sorry Carshopper. That's a good offer. Maybe if it was mine. As it is, I don't think I can persuade the seller to go lower than N2.4. The car's quite well maintained.

Lol. I think I'll buy a house first with that kind of cash. I'm not sure anyone's after me with an AK47.

Cool. How much does it cost to replace the transponder or keyless remote for a japanese car?

500 wozzat? Man, I bought this model, neat, out of Cotonou 4 years ago for N330,000. Haba bros.

Inspired, clean ride. But I'll never for the life of me figure out why Toyota chose to put the speedometer in the middle for the Yaris and the cup holder @ the passenger side.

Please give a number I can reach you on. I live in Lagos.

This car looks sweet man. Like you could live inside . Nice, although you didn't put up pictures of the engine.

Viperman, abeg do you know how much a Babyboy steering wheel (EX not V6) goes for? Mine is cracked & rough around the edges.

@ this point guys just want light in their houses. Abi. Just give us the electric! We'll pay!!

Prospective buyers of landed property on this site should always endeavor to ensure that proper searches are made in respect of the properties at the Lagos State lands registry by professionals before money changes hands. The Courts are full of cases, which have dragged on for years, about situations where people bought land from sellers who weren't true owners as well as cases of multiple sales to several buyers.

Uthainah:
please i really need your help. My broker is fond of not buying or selling stocks as at when instructed. He ensures it rises before he buys it and vice versa. Thus, i told him 2 hands off my shares, before he did, he bought stocks from Livestock,ATC and some other stocks which i had initially ordered but cancelled due 2 his nonchalant attitude towards buying these stocks while they were still cheap. Now he bought all these stocks worth N500,000

Uthaina,

You'll be suprised to discover that these sort of practices by stockbrokers are quite common these days. However, important questions are: (1) Have you spoken to the broker in question or other top management, with a view to remedying the situation and if you did, what was their response? and (2) Do you have documents (i.e. letters, emails or faxes) evidencing that you gave your broker instructions which he failed to adhere to? If you gave your instructions over the telephone, it may be difficult to prove malpractice.

Be that as it may, and for what it's worth, I think you should consider reporting your stock broker's activities to the Securities Exchange Commission and the Nigerian Stock Exchange and attention your complaint to the Compliance Department, stating the stockbrokers name, position and the name of the stockbroking firm he's attached to. Also send a copy of the complaint letter to the stockbroking firm in question so they can see what you have done. Remember, it helps if you can attach any form of documentation to the complaint letter (photocopies) evidencing your relationship with the stockbroker and his later malfeasances.

In the meantime I suggest you close your stock broking account with the broker to prevent further damage.

Boring

Red! No Long tin'.

What's a lady used car

Na wa. I never realised so many people hated Abiola.

Has the Laws of the Federation 2004 been properly passed into law by the House of Assembly?

Yet another example

akpanbaba:
Return it and collect plantain shoes.u will be ok with it.

C'mon akpanbaba, that was in bad taste. The lady obviously has a serious problem. She should get boli shoes instead. At least they're well done.
