Once it goes past GTBANK and first bank, i put my money in the soakaway pit in my backyard. The rest are community banks. I no dey gamble with my money, I'd rather use it and drink beer at 724 bar. Keystone ko padlock cement ni

This is plain silly, i swear. Attaching price to puccy? I won't buy. I won't even negotiate, i won't even know there is a stall there. I have never paid for sèx and never will. Women need money to maintain themselves, when emotionally connected, i will support, but .....

Heck, i am now very angry. And this ijiat was a beauty queen? What a shame.

sleeknick:
Nigerians with una big mouth. When they start killing Nigerians in kenya now una go dey run upandan o. Burna boy or davido won't be there o.

And Kenyans are not in Nigeria or can't be killed. You are a shame.

rheether:
Shey its Kenya? I don't take them serious again

I never ever did.

onimcee1:
I would like to know the meaning, the origin and
how the following phrase should be used:
: : 'all protocols observed'
: That's interesting. Having always lived in the UK,
it was utterly unfamiliar to me, and I had to Google
to find examples of its use. Judging by the
contexts I found it in (Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa,
Uganda) it appears to be an African way of starting
a formal speech. Now, traditionally the correct
protocol for starting a formal speech is by
addressing everyone in your audience in order of
precedence, e.g. "Your Excellency, Minister, My
Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen". In these and other
African countries it is apparently now customary to
start instead with: "Ladies and Gentlemen, all
protocols observed". Thus the phrase means
something like: "You know who you all are, just
take it as read that I have listed you as corrrect
protocol dictates, OK?"
: Presumably the phrase originated as a way of
avoiding listing your hearers in order of
precedence - either because you don't know
everyone there, or don't know the correct order, or
because there is some dispute over who has
precedence and you don't want to commit
yourself.
: In any country where it is now accepted as the
correct way of starting a speech, it should be used
to start a speech. But not anywhere else!


In addition, 'Protocols' are a system of 'rules', customs and
observances which can govern any sort of activity,
so if 'all protocols are observed' it means the
speaker or writer is claiming that the relevant
niceties have been followed.
1. It is clearly a lie.
In essence you have NOT observed all protocols.
It is just a claim that the necessarily rules of
decorum have been observed but we all know
protocol was overlooked altogether. Consider this,
if you had been asked to pass a vote of thanks,
would you thank one or two people and then
state “All thanks given?”
2. There are other ways to observe protocol
without having to mention each and every
dignitary present.
One way is clustering: You can use a general
phrase to address all that fall within a certain
category – honourable delegates, distinguished
ladies and gentlemen, your excellencies, my
Lords etc. That way due diligence is paid.
3. It is a home-grown expression, unrecognised
by the rest of the world.
Other than Kenyans, Nigerians, Ugandans and
some South Africans who have become
accustomed to hearing this, the expression
remains totally alien to the rest of the world. Your
audience will be at a loss as to what you mean;
and as to why you have opted for that ‘short-
cut.’
4. It is not necessary to use that expression
when protocol has indeed been observed.
At times the speaker does indeed take his or her
time to mention the dignitaries in the audience in
order of precedence but spoils it by concluding
the list with “all protocols observed.” If protocol
has indeed been observed then that will be
apparent to the audience and therefore redundant
to include that out-of-place phrase.

Well you can then say, i stand on existing protocol. ....

So i should be analysing and calling out dignitaries that i do not know in their order of importance....abeg i

Lol, never seen you this paranoid. Take it easy.

yim:
Not when he has violated the first terms of bail.
One of the considerations for granting bail is the propensity of the accused to commit another offence.
We know the answer to that

I am not aware of the said violation. Nevertheless, the right of appeal to vary the terms remain available to the appellant, subject to the courts discretion to be exercised both judicially and judiciously. The right continues to the supreme court.

With thiz article I may decide to hate watching WWE....

I stopped watching it since I found out its acting. I prefer boxing or street fights on youtube. I even researched it online and realised I was never gonna watch it again.

Missonas:
I just read your signature. So i will let this pass

Not sure I wrote the signature. I don't even recall the contents.

Missonas:
None taken. I know my rights

Well noted.

Dangerous specie

Missonas:
Yea im sure the judge would eventually change his bail terms and re negotiate with his lawyers they just want make he suffer small

Are you a lawyer? Or you just know a bit of what you read or hear, no offence

Missonas:
The judge knew that one of those conditions would not easily be met before ruling it. The money no go be issue for him or his friends. At least now he and people who engage in such will learn and understand that intergrity is costly, money no be everything. Good name is better than gold and silver.

His lawyers should appeal for variation of terms, it's easy nao

Is it the same okafors law that we know on NL

How much do you think is N1m

An iPhone and superior grade laptop gives you a figure higher than 1M

My only mistake was on the first row i did not repeat or make any mistakes again.

Scam, period.


Their English structure is terrible and people are not generally told in an invite that they are meeting DMD. At best you are told to ask of.......when you arrive.

Poorly planned scam but illiterates.

OkoYiboz:
When they were planning to replace Osinbajo, you were the secretary of the meeting, abi? Or you're the one who supplied them with gala and fanyogo.

The problem with you iPod piglets is that you think everyone is as mentally imbalanced as you are. What is your problem with a Nigerian appointment? Aren't you Biafrans? Today you're Jews, tomorrow you're from Uganda, next tomorrow you're Biafrans, but when it is time to share money, you are Nigerians.

Let me sound this loud and clear, you guys are useless and insignificant in political calculations. Ogun state alone is more politically important in this country than all the SE states combined.

Ogun State alone has had 2 Presidents, 2 VPs, One Federal Speaker and a host of others. All the 5 SE states combined have had just one VP, a term of Senate Presidents, one DSP and one Federal Speaker.

When you see the Yorubas play politics, you should come out of your 2by2 cage you call a shop and watch. We're way ahead of you ipod piglets and there's nothing you can do but rue your unfortunate luck.

In all the political skills deployed, how much is in your pocket? Don't go and make your own money.

in some extent I like this guy!

Liar. They do.

awelekiti:
Sorry in case I sounded in a sarcastic manner. I thought you meant otherwise in your comment as I didn't get a clear picture of it. However, I'm not a travel agent but I belong to a forum where I give advice to visa applicants, for free. If you read all my comments and the thread I created, which was later closed by a moderator to avoid duplication, I never mentioned to anyone that I was collecting money or arranging visa at a cost. I've helped a lot of people secure visas through my advice, based on my experience. Yea, I've been travelling unassisted since I was in my 20s. Tell your sister to search for any travel forum on NL and she'd be glad she did. Many unscrupulous agents have harmed a lot of people. I had hard many disturbing failed visa-related stories so I decided to join the group to save unsuspecting fellas from the hands of visa fraudsters. May have been given fake visas, fake documents, etc which had led to their permanent ban by many embassies. This isn't nice. Nigeria is such a country where those who don't have fear of God exist and thrive in their shady deals. Just tell your sister to search the travel Forum matching the country she intends to visit. She can actually do it by herself. Once again, I apologise the way I sounded. On a lighter note, I'm not a promoter of polygamy oo and I'm a Christian. My argument is, we shouldn't crucify anybody found in in it. Many had married a wrong wife and remarried to another one with whom they're happy forever. Many also chose to be polygamous, not because they're flirts. I know of a man who married 2 wives and they both lived happily till old age. He died at the age of 89 years. Both wives are close to 80 years now. All their children are well read and successful. Many of them live overseas. When this man was alive, he was always contributing greatly towards the cause of gospel. He donated cheerfully when our church building project was going on. He never womanised . He was well known for a good cause before he died. Can we say he won't make heaven because he's a polygamist? Nope! Many became polygamous due to lust of the flesh and yet, were not satisfied after marrying another wife. That's not good. Maybe if our forefathers were not polygamists, people like you and I wouldn't have been born in the first place. The day I heard of Papa adeboye's background, I was amazed. Probably if his dad didn't marry his mum as the second wife, he wouldn't have been born. God knew him and chose him to serve Him. God who created us is the only one who has the right to judge, not man. The bible even says we shouldn't judge so we're not judged. have a great evening. May God help us all.

Seen.

awelekiti:
which job are you talking about here. Or did you mean you needed employment? Or do I sound like a job seeker? Funny

Guy, pride goes before a fall. Except you are lying, i read on your profile that you prepare visas, etc. I know someone who has been asking me to help hook her up with those kind of people, I introduced her to two people already but she did not like their services hence i said get in touch. Obviously you are not what or who you claim you are.

Sorry I bothered you. Please forget we even had this conversation. I am not ready to go into a banter with you on this. As for whether I want a job, when i do, I will let you know, for now I don't.

DLuciano:
probably you were high on weed when you looked at the picture. what do you think is her intent?

If he was high, I am not and I still see nothing provocative. It is more of your perception.

You sounded so genuine. It is well with you bro.

11 players, each played on different wings of her body. Some Nairaland girls have dated not less than 20 guys but will come to this thread to judge this Kenyan lady. It's not my business tho.

Like 11 on the pitch and the rest on the bench to be changed at half time, LOL

Not my problem though.

It is perfectly ok to take a risk. Indeed living itself is a risk, but when you identify the risk, (death in the cold and salty ocean), you ask yourself, can this risk be removed (by traveling otherwise or not at all) or can it be mitigated (life bouy, etc) can the mitigating steps really mitigate the risks, if No, can I still take the risk? If Yes, then It is no longer a calculated risk, it is a gamble. I win I gain, I lose I die. They lost and the consequence is now history.

My point? They are rational humans, with knowledge of the consequences of their actions (and inactions). I have nothing to say to the dead, they no more get to read this, as for the living, learn from their experience and live.

Get rich or...

Not for me though

ZirdoRoray:
Nice one, its really a big world. This post makes one understand that there is more to life than meet the eye. When you thought you have known enough about life, there are still countless things waiting to be discovered that have surprisingly been known by others. This attitude on nairaland of knowing it all and insulting others who criticises ones opinion is rampant, this is one major reason the Africans are backward. [b]Don`t be surprise to see this thread get derailed instead of the users appreciating it.[/b]

Exactly what you have started, but i will not patronize you.

On topic....Isn't it wonderful that God made all these?

It tends to tell me that God must have intended humans to live forever so there could continue to study their environment and learn more about these uknown insects

MrHenri:
Buhari have started emaciating again.

May God bless his health and bring him back to normal. AMEN

Although we criticize him but not to the extent of wishing him dead. NO MAN IS PERFECT !

God bless PMB
God bless Federal republic of Nigeria
God bless Nairalanders
God bless our land.

At the bolded...Did he EVER add weight?
