zlatansomto: Olaniyan Oluwakayode

So what is in this name? I believe it is people from Akwa Ibom in Northern Nigeria that bear such names....eg, Tunde, Rasheed, Kayode, Niran, etc. And they eat a lot of amala, gbegiri, efo riro, etc.

Wealthyegg: Dat's UNILORIN for U... Better By Far... Proud to be an Alumni..

Sha don't let us hear that dem follow you from village when it gets to your turn. I understand all graduates of Unillorin are working in Banks abroad. Let your own case not be different ooo. Better by far my left yansh...

ednut1: better by far setting the pace since 1869

Did you not graduate before them? Why did you not re-write history? When naturally brilliant people excel, the credit is given to some UNi somewhere. Those guys could have done the same thing if they were studying at Ekpoma, MAULAG, or even Unwana Afikpo.

jesuslovesme123: Where are the clowns that said no girls were kidnapped?

I really believed there was a kidnap before, now i believe there was no kidnap. The drama has been well orchestrated and played out. I hail.

While i recommend that the released girl be tested for pregnancy, STDs, etc, my question is, why don't the other girls feign sickness and get released. And while at it, Can't these girls take them to their camp so that the rest of the girls can be released?

Assuming any girl was taken away though

amiskurie: If country is well managed by your clueless uncle,u won't be here grumping due to the poverty in system.piece of dung!

I know nothing about poverty, i am however aware that people have been living below poverty level years before i was born and some continue to live in penury. It was never the making of GEJ or any person for that matter. It is fwools like you that sit down and expect the man in power to spoon feed you. Even when the table is laid, the lazy Heediot that you are will not stretch your hand to take a morsel and put in your mouth. Please note i am not politically inclined and i dont give a flying fvck who is in the helm of affairs, i am not a sycophant and i support no government. I have never voted and will never vote, so do not veer this discussion into the political arena. Let us restrict our discussion to what it had always been namely, that you stewpidly believed the Camerounian story of coming into our sovereign state and killing an Abubakar Shekau look alike and because of that you start cursing your sitting president. Even before the man became a president, no, a governor from being a deputy governor, he had acquired academic skills and qualifications that no one in your lineage past, present and future will ever aspire to obtain. You still have the effrontery with your dirty smelly mouth to say you are cursing him. Cursed are you for even thinking that way.

Bring it on....

Abdulpro1: Am waiting for dis guy to release a video soon

Datz allll. The video or i believe it

BlackTechnology: I don't get you

Are you saying me a pro-GEJ cursed GEJ or what


My comment is just a means to ridicule Cameroon military.

Sorry bro. Mistaken Identity. Sincerely Sorry

BlackTechnology: Oya let us ask Cameroon to present the dead body in order to confirm if the Shekau said to be alive is counterfeit or real.

You are already singing a different tune after insulting and cursing your life in the name of Mr. President in another thread. Beware, the curses will come after you and bite , nay, eat you raw.

@OP, I need pics or video recording of Shekau addressing us after the purported death. Not that i believe he is either dead or alive ooo, No. I just need proof.

amiskurie: I don't take a basket head like u seriously.poverty stricken baboon.
I don't waste much of times so kindly find ur type and go n die.
slowpoke!

You made the mistake of your life by responding negatively to me. Even if you do not have my time, i have yours, i will hunt and haunt you. I dont just mouth 'go and die', i will torment your sorry soul that had since been sold to the devil by your wretched folks. You may never have time for my type, but you have the time to type rubbish from a business cafe and insult the President of over 170million adults and children. Fools like you do not know that this forum is open to public view the world over. Rather than make constructive ctricisms all you say is that you will curse Mr President, like he cares. The idiocy that irks me is that you could believe that farce created from some idiot's imagination and then use it to insult Mr. President. I cannot ask God, Esun, Ekwensu, or Sango to punish you. The life you are living is already enough punishment in this life and the next to come. Doomed at thou....

alexis007: shekau has a full beard but not a head as big as that man's.....d man in d pix look more like odumegwu ojukwu...igbo guys bear with me ...#have been in the business of saying the hard truth since 600B.C.

Ok. So the man is Ojukwu and I am Igbo, so what next? Ojukwu came back to life or reincarnated in his life time as Shekau, so what? Are you even making sense to yourself?

amiskurie: Jelly brain,u didn't make any sense.

The dumbness exists in that crap you call a brain. Pretending you have a brain is an aggravated insult to lunatics who are at least entitled to 5 minutes of sanity per day. In your case, you are perteptually brainless. No thanks to your mom. If you misbehave, i will get dirty, and i mean it.

amiskurie: I have never curse Jonathan b4 until now.
May God repay u ebele,all the dirt u ve caused my country


I'm cursing u for the news about cameroonian soldiers doing cross border raids in Nigeria.
Jona as the commander of the Nigerian armed forces tarnished the image of Nigerian military in the world.

We need coup in Nigeria maybe.soon sao tome and Togo will cross too.

It is amazing how some people cannot even decipher between the truth and plain lies with an intent and a determination to undermine the integrity of the Nigerian state. Even the tenor of the story and the way the ending was rounded up gave it away as a farce. Yet some adults are here swallowing everything hook line and sinker. I tire for fish brains ooo

MuhdG: I don't agree that the north alone should be left to fight this war.

I believe if we act as brothers that we claim we are, and join forces, we will win this war.

We are never brothers. Some of us never claimed to be and most of us know we will never be brothers. Each one onto his own. That simple.

berem: Man and woman, na only God fit solve una problems.

Smh for the thing called marriage!

Oya come make God solve our own

sweetylicious: lol why are you lamenting? is it that painful to you that you have resorted to violence? violence is not the way my dear.Face the fact and do the needful by taking corrections.Boy if your ego isn't bruised you will not lament .

Ok love. Guess what, u win.

sweetylicious: why is it paining you?why take it personal? you didn't make sense and I told you. instead of you to take correction you are retaliating due to Your bruised ego.Learn to take constructive criticism okay,be it from a lady or not.

Bruised ego? Online and faceless? Why are you hell bent on parading and parroting idiocy....yes, your idiocy? You are better off not joining issues with me as you will end up with a bloodied nose.....

sweetylicious: This man gave all his friends and the people supporting him

....and you made so much sense in this comment. Several Nigerian ladies lacking in gray matter since 1759

sweetylicious: you made sense now abi?

I know I made sense, if you think otherwise, consult your psychiatrist.

ShehuAba: Congratulations to all of them. Whether it's truly deserved or not is another issue entirely.

I must commend and congratulate my vice chancellor prof. Abdul Ganiy Ambali who was awarded with the OON.
Really wish him and others, all the best.

To all my teeming fans and numerous well wishers calling in to enquire why my name was omitted, please be informed that I had earlier written a strong worded letter disclaiming the recognition that was to be awarded to me. A number of people on that list cannot share my glory, hence I decided to object to being mentioned with them. When the time is right, I will accept a recognition from this cesspit of a contraption called a nation. Please you all should bear with me.

Hardbody

Vello: Could you kindly send me the e-book? My mail address is 'belldartop@gmail.com. God bless Bro.

.

Sorry dear I have since stopped having them. The hard drive crashed. Perhaps those to whom I sent may be willing to share and send to you. All the best.

ITbomb: No
If for instance, Cameroun declare war on us, we will know that it is Cameroun vs Nigeria and the army will move to cripple their key infrastructure forcing them to surrender.
What we have in Boko Haram is like you said rag tag insurgents, you kill them, North would say you are committing genocide, you declare state of emergency, opposition say you want to cripple political structure to have an easy ride.
Even someone that is dreaming of being a president is advocating Amnesty for them, they have no logical predefined motive, no stronghold and mixing with civilians makes it much tougher.
The enemy outside your home is easier to handle than the enemy within your home

Very well analyzed and delivered. Thanks for your insight. I was getting agitated but now have some clarity on why we are where we are

I have nothing against the NA but my question is, as trained as the NA is, if we are struggling this much with a rag tag boko haram almajari, how can we cope in an international engagement with a fellow country with another trained army in a cross boundary warfare? In the event of a real war with neighbouring countries, wont they overwhelm us in a matter of days?

Let me consult IFA on what comment i should make. BRB

The best is yet to come

My honest advise to ladies....Do not die a virgin, if you do, Boko Haramites will deal with your pum pum out there. A word is enough for the wise.

All BHaramites are Shekaus. So the death of one only resurrects the next. If you doubt my views, go and ask Gbomo Jomo of MEND.

gbengress1: Hello everyone!  Hope your work week is going on well.
Last night, I was reading an article on the great men in our generation. What I observed was that, most of them did not go to school, have poor education foundation or they were a failure in school.

In my mind, your education an expansion as a human is absolutely of the utmost importance.  But, since obtaining my undergraduate degree, I have come to a very startling and disturbing realization for our country that; school is a huge waste of time.
Sure, it teaches you how to write essays, stories and how to do basic trig and algebra.  Sure, it gives you a place to go and be under adult supervision while your parents are at work and you are in some of your most rebellious stages of your life. But as for personal growth as a person and becoming a contributing member of society, it is absolute rubbish.
Here are 10 reasons why I think school does nothing to expand your mind. 

1.You are exposed only to select ideas:
School teachers cum lecturers have their hands tied.  They are only allowed to teach certain things, and much of the curriculum is based on off standardized testing garbage.  They are only allowed to use certain books in English classes, have to teach certain topics in history, and it leaves little room for creative thinking or spirited debates.  And forget taboo topics like religion, sexuality, different cultures, government debates, and examining the psychology of people, which all became the basis of conversation in the pyschology, theology, and philosophy classes that I took in college.  And without talking about these things, how can people ever learn that it is okay to explore different ideas and talk with people about different views without feeling threatened or defensive?  By avoiding these topics, school sets our students up to become hot tempered narrow minded bigots.

2. There is little room for stimulated debate:
As I said before, school allows for very limited thinking and does its best to suppress conflict.  But by not teaching students how to talk about their differences in opinion without feeling threatened, students instead chose to put down ideas that were different than theirs because in school different = dangerous. School fails to teach students respect for other peoples opinions.

3.You live with your parents:
Sorry to all the parents in the world, but living with your parents is the biggest hindrance to self discovery.  There is nothing harder than trying to explore your own mind and questioning beliefs and values that your parents hold dear and then being guilted or bullied into saying you agree with them.  There is certainly no harder people in the world to disagree with than your parents, and its not until you are certain about a way that you feel that you can really talk about it with your parents.  By living at home, you just keep yourself immersed in their way of thinking instead of finding your own.  Living on campus was the best thing I could have ever done for myself.

4. It teaches you no useful skills:
Who learned how to vote, create a budget, cook decent meals, do basic home repairs or function as a useful and contributing member of society in high school?  No one ever!
 Most people go on to experience life, broaden their own horizons, and become much more opened minded and educated through self education.  But still, many will continue on, drinking beers at bon fires and posting pictures of their quads and dirt bikes on facebook and ridiculing those with different ideas or opinions than theirs.  And that’s pretty sad.

5. There is a difference between education and school:
You can be very intelligent without school. The problem is kids love learning until they are put into the systematic factory of creating workers we call school. Kids should be able to choose what they want to learn so they continue to be enthusiastic about learning. If kids hate learning they will never truly absorb the info. On top of that what kids are learning is completely pointless and will not ever help them. The real use of school is to teach kids to sit down and deal with things they hate (what you will have to do in most jobs).

6. It teaches you things that dont relate to your future job:
I want to be a video game creator when I grow up. I have been in school for 9 years and I did not learn anything that relates to the job I want. I even asked my teacher if a video game designer job is good. The teaches said that kind of job is "stupid" and that I should choose another job that relates to what you were taught in school. It is a waste of time to learn stuff that you will not need in the future. I have to do a research paper on something stupid and boring and I had no choice.

7. Not everyone is going to be rich when they grow up because of school:
You can have a nice job and become "rich" without going to school. I do YouTube videos for a living and make money off of that. I get about $20 per video I upload on average. You can probably tell that $20 isn't enough so you can probably assume how many videos I upload...... I do it because it is fun. I like to do it and school didn't teach me anything that has to do with it.

8. “...If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”:
I really like this quote and believe it is true. Not every kids are the same, and they will not learn in the same way. I feel like schools are trying too hard to force kids to all learn the same things and take the same classes. If someone isn't learning the information very well, (and if we won't even use it anyway) why is that being taught to us? Let the kids choose which classes they want in order to help them in the future. A lot of the information we learn from elementary school is what we need, because that's the foundation that we build off of. When we begin getting into high school, we should start figuring out what we want to do for a career. I think we should be able to start choosing classes that are going to help us. Some of this stuff that we learn at school we're not even going to use. Even certain math subjects, the only people who will use that information is those who want to be math teachers! A lot of us don't know where certain countries are, and maybe I'm wrong, but I think we should be taught useful subjects. I just don't get why we're taught Pythagorean theorems when we should be learning geography, how to balance a checkbook, or how to begin a business.

9. Could do this at home in half the time:
My pal and I realized that we could easily accomplish equal learning and more, simply on our own time at home, instead of attending meaningless classes with unintelligent and poorly motivated students. Often, we find ourselves in classes with no application to our daily lives, or even to the curriculum.

10. It is an avenue for waste of talent:
You can imagine how many talents that have been wasted in the name of school. Some lecturers sexually harass their female students (which may have a negative implication on the life of the student), many students indulge in acts such as hooliganism, gangsterism, cultism and other devilish acts, all in the name of school.

I knew this was crap and therefore did not waste my time on it. If i were to live a million times over, i will still go to school and acquire education and knowledge. I hate it when drop outs and never do wells find ways and means of justifying their mediocrity.

Megaphone: I was talking to a ceo of a huge advertising agency on the island, and i told him i do not believe linda bought that car for 24b million naira in cash. How come she makes so much money? I told him about a site called nairaland and he laughed. He said his agency had patronized linda to te tune of about 5m in cash, and he hasn't even bought any space on nairaland. i asked why.. He gave me about four reasons reasons

Nairaland's homepage looks idiotic on a desktop. The page looks like an abandoned webpage and that chases potential customers away

Nairaland seems to have more low income bracket users than high income. Linda Ikeji on the other hand has got a lot of High income readers and they have the financial capacity to purchase products advertised on the blog. On the other hand Nairaland's users are mainly job seekers, scammers and the likes or small start business men who just dont have the money. They come to the site to trade their 'goods' and not to buy anyway

Nairaland doesn't have a face. He compared Stella Dimok to Linda. He said how many times do you see Stella in Public? Shes based in Germany and so no face. Same with Nairaland. No one knows whos behind it. He said Great organisations always have a face. A CEO out there in the public eyes. He then gave examples like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and so many others. They're out there in the public eye. That he said does not just attract customers but big time investors. He said Linda Ikeji is more out there, more social and so people like her (shes pretty too) and trust her with big money more than someone whom they do not even know!

Nairaland's frontpage contains trashy topics. He said when you got topics like ' Why do ladies fart?'on the frontpage or which do you prefer Chicken or turkey on a front page, then that kind of site cant be taken serious by any customer or investor. Linda's blog on the other hand contains trendy and fashionable topics that attracts upscale folks and wealthy readers. Advertisers he says love such a medium.

I completely agree with some of the points. When people like me contest some issues on merit, i am banned because some idiotic users report me and a pyguru bans me and you think i will take NL serious? I come in when i am bored and honestly do not look at the adverts. It is a matter of fact. Seun is not complaining anyway.
