Revolva: death by hanging....hhhhaaaa na dem crime be the highest...i beg ...this nation is just a nation of injustice..oya why dem never hang ..cecilia ibru ..or akingbola...or infact ..na wa ooooo

Cecilia and akingbola stole, they did not rob, definitions of each crime is as stated in the criminal code as it relates to either of the norther or southern part of the country. Kai God punish ignorance

exxell: LEGAL JUNGLE JUSTICE AGAIN? HOW EXACTLY DOES THE KILLING OF EIGHT MEN JUSTIFY THE KILLING OF ONE MAN? WHAT HAPPENED TO LIFE IN PRISON WITH HARD LABOUR? SMH AT THE NIGERIAN JUDICIARY!

We may be lawless but there are laws in place to deal with virtually all aspects of human endeavors. If 100 or more men participated in the killing of a human, they will all be sentenced for the death of that one man. That is the law as it stands in the books today. Stop parading ignorance in a public forum.

kokoye: I noticed our people dont take the greeting "how are you" very nicely. When you greet them and say "how are you", most would feel you are being disrespectful. I have experienced this several times - someone actually told me he wasnt a kid when I greeted him that way...and a few did not even respond.

When I say 'how are you' to someone, I'm just checking on them..and I expect the same kind of greeting in return.

Am I alone in this ...and why do you think 'our' people feel disrespected with such a greeting?

Why will you ask me 'how are you'? If i told you any problems will you be able, available and desirous of resolving half of them? When i greet you, just greet me back and move on. But on a serious note, its just a manner of greting but i do not take kindly to it especially when i notice that the person asking that question is probably younger or less priviledged

goldfish80: Bros park well,the N25 bride price doesn't tell the full story.When you consider items written down in the list such as Jorge,25 cartons of beer or more,cartons of malt,rolls of ciggarete,utaba,cartons of Soap,gift items to umuada,youths,iyom Aro,memebers of the brides clan etc etc... There goes your N25 theory lol

If you are any where near smart you will know we are talking about bride price here not the the total cost of a traditional wedding. Did you study that part of English Language called comprehension? It means reading, understanding and retaining.

jamp: na lie

i just booked now for 14k

My exact post a while ago. But is the N14k for a return trip? in which case it makes a lot of sense and cheaper than ABC trans

I saw this message sent to my phone shortly after i had confirmed a booking on May 29 via Arik. I was so angry, although even the Arik was not too expensive at N18k plus (one way). Afterall starting from N9k plus according to Aero does not guarantee any figure until you get online.

okoli chibuzor: sorry to post dis.... Our president na woman... And also a fool.... Why didn't he decare emagency rule to kano,sokoto,kadunaa..... Or did de governors of the state didn't pay him age

I have been following your posts, does irrationality run in your family?

case closed.

[quote author=tpia.]There's nothing to start.

My understanding is there's a liason between them and alhaji asari dokubo, they are both joining forces to fight against nigeria and secede. Now, how is this thing being organized, if they are flying the isreali flag while alhaji dokubo is flying the saudi one, how are the two ideologies and countries being reconciled?

Will dokubo convert to judaism or will the biafrans convert to islam. Or is the union going to be a confederation with both religions holding sway.[/quote]How many religions do we have in Nigeria and have we not been cohabiting? some questions do not need answers not just because they are rhetoric its just that they are dumb

YuzedoII: Broooo!!!! How did u no d jips dat I have? Are u a stocker?! Confess!

Did you mean to write 'stalker'

Obviously mastery in English language is not part of what you have in abundance

Okija juju: I have driven a 2013 Toyota 4runner that had run on flats. And yeah! I have seen it run on flats as well. So whats your point! Google run on flat tyres and watch the videos to see how it works.
And yeah, mechanical advantage is never 100%, but advicing a driver to carry around water, hydraulics etc is just ridiculous. Why not add ball-bearing, ball-joints, shaft, tyre rod, radiator, spark plugs, e.t.c to the list.

If your car spoil for road, pull over to the side, put out your caution sign atleast 30 - 50 meters away from your vehicle, walk far away for the vehicle to the side of the road and call for help.

Bros you obviously do not do long distance travels. All the parts you mentioned do not just spoil, except you do not carry out last minute repairs/checks before you travel. However things like pads, fan belt, etc can give at any point on the way. A towing van may take you to the nearest mechanic workshop but acquiring them especially if you drive state of the art vehicles is not very easy. As for calling for help, let us say you have left Ore behind for 30 minutes and you have a breakdown, coming from lagos, which of your mechanics will you call? just asking

Abbeyme: Publishing this list is commendable but the inclusion of First Aid box and spare fan belt beats my immediate comprehension.
Fellow nairalanders what's ur opinion.

I carry all, including first aid box, spare fan belts and spare brake pads. Last 2 decembers, i had a brake pad problem and imanaged to get to Benin. When i asked some guy to help me change the pad, he was speaking from a point of favour, he said i should be interested in the cost of the pad not the workmanship because if i can pay for the pad, he will do the job free. I asked him for the cost of the pad, he said N7k (this was a Montero SUV). I said it was ok. I opened the compartment containing the parts and brought out my spare pads, the guy simply walked away. I had to manage the pad to Asaba and slept over. In the morning i got some guy to come change it and i think i paid him N1k and also got him to get him another spare for my return trip (which i however did not use).

Policewoman: MBAISE IN IMO STATE IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE. They grade their brides in 4 categories:
1. ILLITERATE
2. SCHOOL CERTIFICATE
3. GRADUATE
4. MASTERS AND ABOVE

Each has their different price tags. For example the graduate can cost you as much as 600k to 1m.

I have heard that story , and i have no way of verifying it. As a matter of fact, my people prefer to marry from within so it just does not matter to us.

holuphisayor: A man was told to pay a bride price of #50 but couldn't even pay that amount. His frend later helped him out. Lwkmd

Can you get real? you have been lying all over this thread. Do not say things you do not know just for the fun of it, else amadioha will strike you down.

Evestar200: @yomi,,igbo marriage bride price cost die mosly imo igbos

I am igbo from Arochukwu in Abia state. our daughters go for N25.25k. It has never changed and will never change. That tradition came from when 25 pounds was big money but today we still give out at N25.25k. Ask around and you will confirm.

When you guys generalize the way you do, i tend to think we have a lot of immature people around this forum. It is sickening.

By the way, our bride price negotiation commences in the open with the parents asking for as high as millions (just forthe fun of it). Some will even tell you that you will be in dollars, pounds or euros. Later the family of the bride and groom are asked to go and negotiate inside and come out. By the time they come out, the parents of the lady (or their reps) will clarify that their forbears did not tell them to accept such high prices, rather that they have been accepting N25.25 kobo in line with tradition. It is after that that the family of the groom will pay the N25.25 and show appreciation with a bottle of hot drink. I attend this festivities every December and it is usually fun

There is no miracle here. The man was not clinically dead, at best he was in a comma and quacks confirmed him dead. Thankfully he is not a muslim else he would have come out of that comma 6 feet below and then he would have died a real painful death oblivious to his kith kin and friends.

Moral of the happening are:

1.Don't die unless you are ready to be dead
2.Do not be in a haste to bury the supposed'dead' as he may have not fully decided to 'die'
3.Certification of death should not be done as 'of course'. Let it be known beyond all reasonable doubt that the person is dead for real
4.Finally, if he is an Igbo man, like me, bait him with money, if he does not wake up, then he is dead and ready to be buried

[quote author=Atheist:-D]This is not about a job, this is their ancestral home. Where are they going to go?[/quote]Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.....

Cameroun/bakassi : Fulani Herdsmen: Kaduna

Whatever happened to the Bakassi indigenes in their own land is what will happen to the Kaduna people and Tivs in their lands. Did you just ask the question where will they leave their ancestral homes and go to? When your country was blindly leaving cross riverians at the mercy of camerounian gendarmes in Bakassi, Cross River State(ancestral home of the Efiks in bakassi)what were they thinking...?

Shebi na Nigeria we dey? Everything will come to a head someday

Abbey2sam: I live in adamawa state, there is no such tin as state of emergency here, even if there is, maybe, just maybe in mubi, a local government close to maiduguiri.....

Activities in adamawa state still remain the same, I was in town yesterday(I.e jimeta) and I never saw any soldier or air force or Sss or JTF been deployed.


#fact

Ok. RIP.

hotwax: But this wont solve anything. Boko-boys will just relocate to another state.

Boko harams dont fight open war. So who are these soldiers going their to fight?
Boko-haram will just go on holiday till these soldiers leave

You spoke my mind.

Except there is a plan of levelling those three states to the ground.

I outgrew BB pinging and grew into Whatsapp. It has been brilliant so far and no regrets. coupled with the fact that a certain network can now allow you to ping via Whatsapp upon N100 subscription. It is life made easier for at least some people.

Policewoman: VERY USEFUL. KEEPS ME IN TOUCH WITH MY BABY ALWAYS.

I did not know you had a child oo (baby). Congrats.

All of you are so jobless. I should come on line to discuss a lady wrapping blanket around her body? I guess i joined this forum at a very wrong time

konn: IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN MIRACLES AND DELIVERNCE THEN KEEP UR MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF CONDEMING MEN OF GOD AS IF JESUS HIMSELF DID NOT CAST OUT EVIL SPRITS FROM PEOPLE AND SET THE CAPTIVES FREE DID JESUS USE MAGIC? HE SAID GREATER WORKS THAN THIS WILL MEN DO IF YOU HAVE FAITH. SO PLEASE STOP CONDENMING PEOPLE IF U ARE NOT SURE
MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

Please did Jesus in tongues? i am trying to find out where 'christians' are getting that from considering that 'Christianity means followers of Christ. Please do not tell me about his saying you will do greater works because i am aware that when Peter and the 120 in the upper room started speaking in tongues, it was because people from other languages were there at the pentecost and the idea was so that they could be proper communication, not today when your pastors and MoG speak gibberish and neither comprehended either by them or those near to them.

andyanders: I fact what the soldiers did is right because these touts behave as if the whole world belong to them. Good for the guy. Hope he learnt his learson.

Brilliant comment. Most people here have been blinded by the fact that the touts themselves have no business extorting money from bus drivers as these pass down the tolls to passengers. Some buffoons just stand at the bus stop and collect money from others who are toiling to make ends meet by using buses whether theirs or leased (or on loan) It is not good to wish humans death else i would have wished the olawale guy death so that his other mates will realize that they cannot go on playing tin gods. Have you ever noticed where those agberos are beating up bus drivers that refused to pay those tolls being extorted from them? I wish many more of them will receive similar beatings in the mighty name of Jesus

Make i just post, this one no too concern me.

I thank God that he has continued to preserve my mum and Dad alive for me. I should continue to make them happy all the days of their lives, that i promise.

Maxymilliano: New Delhi: Most of us know Mark Zuckerberg as the CEO of Facebook, but there are a lot of interesting facts about this young billionaire that you all must know. Celebrating his 28th birthday, here we bring you 28 little-known, interesting facts about him.

Born : May 14, 1984

Age : 28

1. Type @[4:0] in a Facebook comment, and Mark Zuckerberg's name will appear.

2. As a teenager Mark was an aethist.

3. Mark's father Edward Zuckerberg enrolled Mark in a graduate computer course at a nearby college. When his father accompanied Mark to the college at the first class, the instructor looked at Edward and said, pointing to Mark, "You can't bring him to the classroom with you." Edward informed the instructor that his son Mark was the student.

4. Mark and his sisters loved to play pranks. Once, Mark and his sister Randi pulled a prank on New Year's Eve of 1999 that was memorable for Mark Zuckerberg. During that time, everyone was upset about Y2K, which was the theory that a bug in a computer data programming would ruin many of the computerised systems of the world when the year turned to 2000. Mark knew that his parents were apprehensive about Y2K, so he, with his sister, waited until exactly midnight and then shut down the power in their house so as to make his parents think the fears about Y2K had actually come true.

5. Mark, along with his classmate, at Phillips Exeter Academy wrote a music program called Synapse. The program used artificial intelligence to analyse a user's music listenting habits and used that information to recommend other music.

6. The program got a lot of favourable reviews that both AOL and Microsoft showed interest in buying it for around $1 million. Also, they wanted to hire Mark to develop it, but he would have to drop out of school, so he refused.

7. He joined a Jewish fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi. At a party one Friday night, Mark met Priscilla Chan, a Chinese American from Boston. They would later begin dating. Priscilla Chan later expressed her first impressions of Zuckerberg : "He was this nerdy guy who was just a little bit out there."

8. To be able to communicate with his girlfriend Priscilla Chan's family members, Zuckerberg started to learn Chinese in 2010.

9. At the beginning of the sophomore year, Mark developed Course Match, the program that enabled students/users to decide what college courses they wanted to opt for based on what other students at their school were choosing.

10. He also invented Facemash, a program that was created with the purpose of finding out who was the most attractive person on campus. However, this was more like the pranks he used to play as a child.

11. The domain name Facemash.com, the predecessor to Facebook that Zuckerberg built in 2003, was sold in 2010 for $30201.

12. In 2009 Mark Zuckerberg wore a tie for the entire year as a symbol of how serious and important the year was following the recession that began in 2008.

13. In 2011, Zuckerberg turned vegetarian and said he would only eat meat of animals that he killed himself.

14. Zuckerberg's first car was a Subaru Forester SUV.

15. Mark Zuckerberg is also on Twitter as @finkd where he has over 150,000 followers but has posted only 19 tweets in the last three and a half years.

16. Blue is Mark Zuckerberg's favourite colour, as evident from Facebook's design.

17. By the time he turned 13, he had already created a basic computer network for his family dubbed "Zucknet," which allowed the computers in the family and his father's dental offfice to send messages to each other by pinging.

18. Zuckerberg has also created a few computer games. Once, he developed a computer version of the game Monopoly based on his middle school and a version of the game Risk based on the Roman empire.

19. Zuckerberg's pet dog Beast is a Puli, a type of Hungarian Sheepdog.

20. Zuckerberg placed a big whiteboard in the hallway of his dormitory suite. Mark would use it to brainstorm with symbols and codes for software. In the words of one of his roommates, Dustin Moskovitz: "He really loved that whiteboard. He awlays wanted to draw out his ideas, even when that didn't necessarily make them clearer."

21. Mark Zuckerberg's interest in programming developed when his parents gifted him the book C++ for Dummies.

22. Mark Zuckerberg has about 50 patents in his name. The first of which was issued in November 2004 for the technology behind the Synapse Media Player.

23. The number of people on who have Mark Zuckerberg on their Google+ circles is roughly half of the number of users who have subscribed to his status updates on Facebook.

24. His favorite musicians include Daft Punk, Lady Gaga, Shakira and Rihanna.

25. His favourite quotations: "Fortune favors the bold," by Virgil, Aeneid X.284; "All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once you grow up," by Pablo Picasso; "Make things as simple as possible but no simpler," by Albert Einstein.

26. There are conflicting viewpoints about Zuckerberg's years at Harvard University. The movie "The Social Network" portrays him as both a genius and as someone who was always socially handicapped, and desperate to find a way into the social elite at Harward. However, Zuckerberg rebuffs those claims saying he never wanted to be part of the social clubs at Harvard and never used his computer skills to impress women around him.

27. Mark's interest in computer programming was quite visible at the very early age. By the time he was in middle school, he was already using computers and writing software for them.

28. Eduardo Saverin, one of the four co-founders of Facebook had provided the $1000 seed capital to start Facebook.

Ok.

Localtrouble: Smh..every well meaning Nigerian should insist that we cut off these Hausa/fulanis for good. They should just go get themselves their own Country, they are just INSANE. Atleast the other remaining regions can handle their problems better..

On NIGERIA we stand. One Nigeria forever.

Good morning this evening....
