Maurice Iwu did a successful research on Ebola in America. We should investigate if it is not his work that is being used by America and called 'secret serum'

Estimable: All of u shouting up Putin, take ur time and listen to CNN read papers and u won't support him again....He's busy supplying armour to russian rebels ,invading Ukraines privacy.....

I am surprised that there still people here who watch and believe CNN propaganda which has no credibility even in America after the lied to the people with Bush that Saddam has WMD. You have the internet, research for balanced news not CNN or BBC my guy.
Nobody quotes them even in the US or UK.
Northern Nigeria is facing a crisis because their source of news and information comes from BBC Hausa service which is used to spread hate as a British policy unlike in the South where information comes from local FM Radio and TV Stations which comes with several versions of the same news by different broadcasters. Grow up, times have changed and be smart.

He surely knows that nothing will happen and wants to know how it feels to urinate behind a wall which is unusual in his own country. He is adapting to the culture

Thats what you get for being the number one beggar nation in Africa. Oyinbos will impose their own culture on you while giving you their 'aid'.
Many Malawians were embarrassed that their country could not host the AU meeeting last year because the US threatened to stop their aid if they dont allow for same sex marriage and arrest the President of Sudan.

Guk: You do not need a mole to know what #Bringbackourgirls is all about. All their activities are open for all to see and participate. Read through their twitter handle and you would understand their mindset and i can tell you categorically that every single KOBO donated to and spent by #Bringbackourgirls is detailed to the last kobo and can be accessed if you ask for it. Oby Ezekwesili does not give a hoot to all your accusations by FG, this woman has been like this since i first met her in 1992...it is not in her DNA to thief anybody's money. She is one of the most principled Nigerians you can ever come across.

As for Madam Ogar, her seating posture on TV yesterday at the press conference says it all.

Nonsense! Where was Oby, Elrufai and Melaye when OBJ invaded Odi and Zaki Biam and a lot of lives including women and children were lost? They were Ministers and a rep in that Govt and didnt resign or condemn the action.
When PDP threw them out, they quickly become 'emergency' Human Rights Activist. Nonsense!

Spot on: Many of us who have followed the CIA inspired Arab Spring protests and the most recent one in Ukraine for 'Regime Changes' in the middle east knew that the Chibok protests were not genuine and had foreign interference and interests.
Anytime you find all the foreign media consistently focusing on one event at the same time, know that their countries have interests on the country. CNN, Fox, BBC, NBC etc lied to their citizens to support the invasion of Iraq which is still at war over 10 years after.
What the SSS is saying is what we in Abuja already knew and that was why they had to pay people to protest and when the couldnt get the desired crowd in Abuja, the western media and their CIA moved to Ukraine and left Nigeria.

As we say in Abuja, the US Marines are in Nigeria looking for GAS in the Lake Chad basin and not Chibok GALS. Across the Borno border Chad produces Oil run by French and Chinese companies

This evildoers will never allow the people to have a blissful Xmas. Muslims should condemn this despicable acts committed in the name of Islam

cramjones: This is Susan Hunt and Femi Fani Kayode all grown up 33 years after. Neither Sue nor Femi changed! Sue is now an executive in Google UK and Femi we all know served as a Minister. Life can take you places...good friendships lasts a life time! Enjoy!

@Cramjones is FFK on Nairaland. Kiss and Tell spoilt kid. Iam trying to find the alias of Reno Omokri GEJ social media Special Assistant

Kamilat20: In my country Soldiers are been paid for no work done cos there's no war or rebel to fight. What a country? Proud to be Ghanaian

Because you dont have militant Islam in Ghana. Just pray the West dont remember your country and seek control of its resources or else the will fund and send jihadists to 'Islamise' Ghana just like is happening in Syria.

This govt has failed Nigerians. The level of corruption is sickenening to say the least. GEJ should get his act together. His aides are building a wall around him to prevent him from seeing reality on the ground.

Residents of Abuja protested the other day about the high rate of unemployment in the city. Mini buses were banned and the SURE-P buses are disappearing gradually from Abuja roads.
Lagos alone generates 43% of IGR among the 36 States and FCT. This Govt is failing and the President needs to get his acts together. The level of brazen looting in govt is becoming alarming and fearsome for the ordinary citizens.
Militants are building Universities overseas while Nigerian students are sitting at home due to the lingering ASUU and ASUP strikes. Which way Nigeria.

Whats the purpose of this topic?

I didnt see any AK 47 guns and bullet proof vests with those guys. Probably they are ushers in the church which you find in virtually every church to maintain orderliness. Even the pope uses security to protect himself and I dont see nothing wrong with having security afterall most churches in Northern Nigeria have Soldiers and Police gurading them. next topic please.

Tributes to Madiba; he was a face for people who have suffered humiliation and discrimination in their lives based on sentiments.

Nsirim as a thug leader in Rivers State may not be reinstated by Amaechi except if Amaechi wants to be an exception to the rule unlike PDP that has refused to reinstate Oyinlola and the CPC Katsina legislators.
The Chairman will be installed and not funded while the appeal is ongoing till the tenure of the LGA Chairmen expires.
Nigeria is operating like a jungle city where those in power interpret the rules according to how it suits them at any point in time.

Pukkah: Is it proper for governments to donate cash to private companies?

Is this not like giving part of the resources of the people (or tax payers' money) to private businesses?

.

Even Obama gave bailout money to GM and Ford motors because the create jobs for Americans just like those private institutions do within their locality in Anambra.

Na who be that person wey beat me for FTC? Why you come first me take something wey suppose belong to me?

GEJ needs to be well prepared and explain to Nigerians why implementation of the current budget has been abysmal as only 40% of the capital expenditure has been implemented. Its mostly the capital expenditure that affects the average Nigerian on the streets.

The civil servants and political appointees ensure that recurrent expenditure is almost expended entirely on travel estacode, salaries, seminars and trainings that add little value to the system.
While presenting the budget it is anticipated that Nigerians will be informed about the mechanisms to be put on ground for proper monitoring of capital expenditure to ensure at least 80% implementation and not make budget presentation just an annual routine.

This people wan kill us with statistics?
100million Nigerians live as destitutes.
100million Nigerians live below 1 dollar per day.
100million Nigerias suffer from river blindness
100million Nigerians dont have access to toilets.
100 million Nigerians bla bla bla.....

Nigeria economy is among the worst in the world yet this ldiats repartriate billions from Nigeria to their countries daily ask MTN or Shell how much they make daily here.

This foreign bodies have never given any positive stat about Nigeria e.g 100 million Nigerians celebrate Super Eagles world cup qualification.
Its only negative statistics, its high time we ignored all this useless stats.

naptu2: Saw it on tv. The Police Commissioner said that the terrorist were engaged in a gun battle with the army. This distracted them and they left the hostage's cell door open, which gave him the opportunity to escape. He later saw an okada rider who gave him a ride to the police station.

And the yeye ransom paying French President want to take all the credit without paying due respect to our gallant JTF and C-JTF who are facing the terrorists bullets.

The French govt under NATO armed and backed Libyan terrorists to remove Gaddafi and those arms are all over Africa and they acted as mercenary airforce for alqaeda in Libya. All those French and NATO supplied and stolen Libyan weapons are being used even as I am typing by rebel fighters in Tripoli Libya and in Mali and by Boko Haram to commit murder.

Next thing their World Bank and IMF will claim that there are 100 million destitutes in Nigeria. I think NLers should start posting pictures of destitutes in US, UK, France and European Union

A French engineer held hostage by Islamist militants in northern Nigeria for almost a year has escaped, President Francois Hollande said on Sunday.


The Nigerian Police were the first to report the issue and issue a press release not President Hollande.
Give credit where it is due and stop quoting foreign media on happenings in Nigeria.

CHIME 'PICANTO'

Enugu runs gals are positioning themselves since runs madam don waka; perhaps this time he will upgrade to Kia Rio

Since my wife got an appointment that pays her well, she has started locking her phones so that I wont find out when bank alerts come into her phone and how much money she makes; ordinarily I dont even go checking her phone.

As a husband my phones are open without code but hers is coded and she refused to give me the password when I requested for it (wouldnt have asked if it was open and I dont even go to her phone) and thats making me to believe now that there is something she is hiding from me. Please somebody should advise me before I destroy those gadgets she calls phones.
A poster here talked about how his wife built a house without his knowledge and did all the transactions for several months during the building erection until he heard it from the rumour mills and confirmed it to be true.
What do I do now please, do I just ignore her totally or insist on her keeping her phones uncoded or give me the password?

[quote author=#1-stunner]well i dnt knw bout any estate in maitama tho buh i knw suncity,sunnyvale,efab n all d ones arnd lokogoma are nt as expensive as d prices he put up[/quote]Just ask any agent who roams within Maitama and Asokoro. Like some posters here have mentioned, you find several houses unoccupied for 2 years because of the high rent and the owners dont care. Tells you that they got easy money and are not concerned with recouping their investments. $65K with Service charge of N2m for a 3 bedroom. And the company have refused to increase our salary after moving me to Abuja, in Portharcourt I felt well paid and a semi bigboy, but here in abuja? ojigbi-jigbi-jigbi

[quote author=#1-stunner]i think d OP exaggerated d price of rent in dose estates tho[/quote]No he did not exagerate. I went with my French coleague recently to look for a house for him and the prices the OP gave are very very very true. The company ended up paying $65k in Ancestors court Maitama because their government warned them about certain locations due to security.

Many people in abuja work just to pay rent to the landlord.
I was transfered from Portharcourt to Abuja on the same salary and all I spend my time thinking is how i am going to pay the next rent. Iam paying 3 times what I payed in Portharcourt for a 3 bedroom flat for a 2 bedroom in Garki Abuja.
Areas outside the city center are prone to demolition by FCDA as they will claim it violates masterplan.

To cap it all there are several unoccupied buildings in Abuja, built with stolen funds by politicians who dont care how long it stays unrented if nobody is willing to pay their asking price.
Its good this is making front page so that those who want to come and visit their relatives in Abuja and the guy has been dodging will have an idea how expensive it is to live here and why the person is dodging you.

If you are a salary earner who prays for the month to end to collect salary, this town seems to be not for you as you continually feel the pressure.

The alternative is to move to Nyanya Maraba axis of Nasarawa where you feel your lifespan being reduced by the kind of hold up you meet everyday to come to come to work in Abuja city.

WildChild00: I can seems to understand wat is going on in here, what is[size=15pt] GNLD[/size] to start with? And who authorized these thread to be on front page, without proper defination and terms and meaning?

google is your friend. See their website. http://us.gnld.com/en-us/home/

They deal on healthcare products and nutritional supplements that are normally expensive and are sold mostly by networking method; kind of you buy and sell to your friend to make profit and your friend buy and sells to his friend and you also make profit and on and on. The more people that register under the people you introduce the more profit acrues to you.
Beacuse most of the products have not being scientifically proven to be effective, you need marketers to promote it as doctors hardly recommend them for patients.

All this pyramid network business is a case of monkey dey work.
Ladies in the office fall easily for it and then they come to me begging me to register as their down line and spend 50k for combo pack.
I look at the content and I see Chinese honey costing 10k per bottle. At the conference I attended at Sheraton it was videos and pictures of Nigerians being rewarded with Cessna private plane and latest BMW models and all of them started with nothing.
Me I no believe in pyramid biz, its better you take your money buy beans and fry akara on the road side and live within your means than living in a utopian paradise of upline and downline pyramid network.

It is actually not fraud as some are claiming here, because there is a product to be sold, but it is not as easy and simple as being portrayed in their seminars and you cannot make in a short time the kind of money/profit that is being proclaimed by the GNLD of Forever Living Product FLP agents/sub-distributors..

owolabifunke14: They are lucky I'm not a guy. Guys where are you when your masculine nature is needed. Why not give these not white not black dog eaters a good run for their money by beating them up? Dana that killed our people belonged to them,most illegal drugs came from them, bad juju came from them also.Is our government really strong? Pay the fools back in their own coin

Bad Juju: Does that include our own Okija Juju?

Its like Indians back home home dont actually know that there are hundreds of thousands of their citizens here working and doing business here while there are only 40,000 Nigerians there.
They underpay their Nigerian staff; bring very old retiree parents here. Nobody asks them to show their expired Visas on our streets or in their premises.
They repartriate so much profit home? Do they want us to bocott Indian products like Tata, Chi sugar drinks (Hollandia, exotic necta, chivita etc) Bajaj Keke Napep, Park and Shop, restaurants, pharmaceutical products (most substandard), Dana etc.?

If Chime has nothing to hide then let him invite an independent neuro doctor from National Hospital to examine the woman alone about her mental status and prove that her problem is not depression.

I work with Indians in the same office and they always have good things to say about their country inspite of the negative reports I see online about India.
They are treated like lords by the junior staff and like westerners also make so much profit from here which is evacuated back to their countries without anyone questioning them.

You cant take £5000 pounds out of UK to Nigeria without the country knowing but their citizens come here empty handed, get loans from our banks, invest in business, make huge profit, repartriate the profit home like MTN and Shell and come up with Standard & Poors statistics that we are the number 140 on a list of 143 countries surveyed for worst places to do business.
And all we do most times instead of challenging them and projecting our image (not as bad as proclaimed) is to fight about which tribe is the victim from. I dey vex!!

If she doesn't entirely open up about all that transpired and the roles played by various parties then nothing is solved. Is she ready to show you all the documents involved and do a change of ownership to reflect the Mr and Mrs just like you did in other properties.

For me I tried to swallow everything after my wife did a similar thing so that there would be peace, but after sometime, I still feel betrayed deep in my heart and this is affecting the home to the extent that finding her so feminine and gentle like back in the days to make love becomes a problem. Sex with her becomes a routine and something you do so that she doesn't accuse you of abandoning your matrimonial functions, that's one effect that most unmarried people without experience here will not understand.
Trust is very important in any relationship and when that is impacted by situations like this it takes time to rebuild, please don't allow it to affect your health, just try and be happy with yourself and children and be your normal old self.
