When a fellow described Senator Ben Bruce as having the face of Obama but thinking like Obanikoro I felt bad not because I did not agree with what he said but because as a Nigerian, I thought regardless of how an elder behaved he should not be treated a certain way. With today's Facebook update from a supposed senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, senator Ben Murray Bruce, any inkling of the reverence I had for him had been totally eroded. How could a serving senator boldly advocate legitimizing an illegality instead of proffering ways and means by which it could be eradicated? Really, we have to sit down and restructure our leadership recruitment process. In a saner society, Ben Bruce will forever be shamed and will never show his Face in public for such Ill-thought, dim witted opinion. It's like calling for the conscription of Boko Haram insurgents into the Nigerian Army!

To just discard this suggestion as you did means you haven't studied how things or processes get to the level of becoming "legal"

Check:

1- Prostitution is now legal in most European and North American countries but it must be "voluntary with no pimping"

2- chocolate (that we so love to eat) used to be very much illegal and also comes in liquid form.
After it was made "legal" some investors researched and were able to produce a solid form of chocolate for export to make more profit. Nowadays only "factories" have interest in liquid chocolate.

3- Cannabis is fast becoming a legal entity in our very own eyes. Cocaine next

I can go on but the question is this:
The products from these so called "illegal refineries" are they finding their ways into our expensive cars and SUVs = YES!!!

Maybe the Senator is right!!!
Albert Einstein too was made to feel stupid and unschooled but who laughed last

Do they come in 60 by 60??

Also the wood effect, are they in 60 by 60

My apologies if you've already answered this same question.

Thanks.

Let me finish reading b4 I comment!

I never said anything about throne. "Crown" here is a fancy Headwear symbolic to the position the person holds so

In presence of an Oba men even remove their "ordinarily caps" talk less of a symbolic one

So whether the eze ndigbo wore an ordinary cap or a chiefly one he should have removed it

Then it's upto the palace protocol officers to enforce that. If you don't remove your shoes you will not be allowed to see my village king inside his palace.
If you very important then the king can meet or see you somewhere else say you refuse that protocol.

Why did the protocol officers allow that to happen

A real crown goes far beyond the person wearing it!!! Fact

macof:
If the "law" can, it should abolish the institution of Deji. .. for as long as it exists and a well cultured yoruba man sits on the throne, the traditions of the palace shall reign supreme. And such traditions dictate that no low personality like Eze Ndigbo should wear a crown to met an Oba of such calibre in his own palace

A "crown" does not exist without a throne!!!

You cannot claim that man wore a crown unless you're displaying some form of inferiority complex.

That guy has no crown and therefore cannot wear it. Not every cap with beads would be classified as a crown otherwise me sef fit go market buy my own and become Oba.

An Oba must have a stool, staff and then the crown. It's an institution

(obsolete) A defence or excuse; a speech or written answer made to justify someone

Young man, a cap is NOT a crown

You cannot get a "crown" by being voted as an Eze or president of a sociocultural group!!!

You CANNOT become a Head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces just by registering a company an the CAC & giving yourself the title "president" and distributing beautiful complimentary cards!!!

That man had no crown as he had no staff of office and most especially had no kingdom!!!

Sociocultural organizations are strongly encouraged by host Oba or real keeper of the crown!

Why
- they organize foreigners quickly at their own cost to "toe the line" of their host
- they shelter and care for their own and prevent embarrassing situations to both parties
- they support their own in trouble-times example transport their dead and bereaved family back to their home
- as you can see sociocultural organizations are highly encouraged by host communities and I don't need to go on here

The "real keeper of the crown" should know who he or she is and usually are never seen showing inferiority complex!!!

Hope they find peace and understanding!!!
There's enough space in Nigeria to contain all man and all woman!!!

I would've assume that a man with the previous life travails like DSP's will want to live a normal and modest life both in the now and in the thereafter.
The Look and size of this Mausoleum just shows the mind set of a Typical Corrupt Nigerian politician.
Building a an Elaborate Mausoleum for oneself after been Stained with the Paint of Corruption is an unacceptable 'EXTRAVAGANCY' that should be condemn in totality.

Your problem is that of a lack of cultural understanding and education. (No insult intended here).

Certain people don't have a lot of land and they bury their dead INSIDE!!!

If you travel around most places where this culture is practiced, you will understand that even though the great man or woman is buried in that house (usually the living room) people still live there and do business there!!!

It's something some people will never accept: cemetery & home combination but...

redsconsult:
Ko le si oba meji laaafin... The useless eze wore crown to the palace of deji of akure against the custom of the land and he was mandated to remove them which we know the sturborn headed flat headed king refuses and he was made to pay by crios flogging ... Move to your Biafra land and stop causing trouble in another mans land.
The truth is that yeebos lack respect. If they can wake their parents up from sleep with slaps and kicks don't know who else you want them to reapect

And PHONECATION makes man NOKIA for wife again

Sexting (not texting oh) is the bigger brother phonecation

Google is our friend just in case...

Without sounding insulting, people should grow above desire for sex and food and other small small things.

There are so many things to think about and achieve in a lifetime other than sex and food and making babies.

I wonder where Maslow go classify certain people's mental age

erico2k2:
You have not told me anybody or BDC who will buy pounds from U at 345..1999.that's when western Union began transfer to most Banks in Nigeria

Not interested. Sorry.

If you pick $€£ in Nigeria and your only outlets are BDC & western union then you get wahala.
Enjoy

Putin is tired of this American "camera handshake" while there's action in Syria and even in Europe.

erico2k2:
young man I have been remitting money to Nigeria from the days of western Union ie since 1999.tell me one person you can buy the pounds from in Lagos for 345 ? do you have a number?as we speak my agent transfers £1000 at a fee of £30, and N350K lands in less than 5 mins in my savings account. main-while, I tired to change just £100 jst to use as change cos My debit card cranked in two, they said they can only buy at N290,main-while I already sent @ 315 a day B4,my coz sold his yesterday at 302 to the pound in Nigeria while I just sent @350

1999 And you're geared up for an argument

Not interested!!

My point, unless this is your business you're trying to promote which is fair enough, but I stand by my original submission.

erico2k2:
Wrong,You will never get a better rate than the money remittance agents you get here, I have gone to Nigeria with physical pounds and was forced to bring them back with me cos they where offering craaap rates at the BDC,If you think Im talking trash try and sell the pounds and see if you can get up to 345 at any BDC

Young man, lucky you if you get a better rate after paying commission and all that which are usually based on amount of ££€€$$

Why don't you understand that you could be the one who is wrong here

erico2k2:
No it dosnt, but my question why would you want to do that,??if you need to use the money in NIgeria why not send its equivalent to your normal savings or current account in Nigeria?That's what we do in the Uk, We go to the Money transfer agents who usually have good rates,you pay them plus sending fees, 5 mins your Naira Equivalent is in your bank,you get your alert on your Email sharp sharp.these days the Pounds is N350 boys here are killing it.However the banks here would also wire it direct to your chosen bank in local currency my bank barclays will charge £25 as standard regardless of the amount sen but their rates are absolutely craap.So no need using them and they take up to 4 Biz days

When you remit to your £ Dormiciliary Account, you receive your money in £ and it's usually better value as you collect ££ in Nigeria.

If you find someone you trust & with all the safety trappings taken care of and if this person doesn't charge a commission then it might make sense otherwise Dorm Acc is the best.

With so many policy changes, I have to admit that you need to confirm with your bank that they will pay you in your currency ($,€,£ etc) of remittance

If Nigeria has a law that ensures that ALL elective posts seekers & ALL government appointees make a mandatory public declaration of assets then we will watch Nigeria become the richest country in the world!!!

[quote author=Freegift75 post=38303137][/quote]You think this is "too much money just for one man

Wait until you see what Gov El-Rufai of Kaduna state declared!!!

Ok now

You can get granite top for as low as 18,000 per linear meter.
Granite tops comes in different thickness; 20mm, 30mm and 40mm as we have used before.
Same as the shades/colors as well. These things determines the cost.
Some stones are more precious than others.

Appreciate !!

Thanks!!!
