Travel / Re: FRSC Regrets Tweet On BRT Bus Crash by highlandre(m): 4:03pm On Nov 26, 2012 |
False alarm by this body can"t just be tolerated! A lot of us had been given psychological torture by this now disclaimed news. The authorities of FRSC should be very meticulous in disseminating future information to the public. Seriously, be warned!!! |
Religion / Re: Imams & Priests Play Football For Bosnian Kindergarten by highlandre(m): 4:40pm On Nov 23, 2012 |
God bless these imams and priests for this initiative; the problem with Boko Haram is gross illiteracy and lack of tolerance 1 Like |
Politics / Re: House Of Reps Member Arrested For Driving Against Traffic by highlandre(m): 12:57pm On Nov 23, 2012 |
If this arrongant and incorrigible honourable could talk like this, then why are we surprised nothing good is coming out of the National Assembly? The big-man mentality among our politicians makes a mess of protocols and good policies. If Fashola himself can desist from flouting traffic laws, who the heck is this dishonourable member of National Assembly? Oshi! 6 Likes |

If a society doesn't provide a platform for people to develop themselves, and channels through which man can use his knowledge to benefit his environment, that society shouldn't complain when such knowledge is used against it!!! 1 Like |
Politics / Re: ACN Loses Another LG Seat to the PDP In Lagos by highlandre(m): 6:46am On Nov 23, 2012 |
These are not good signs for the A.C.N at all. With the banning of Okada and a couple of other unfriendly policies of the Lagos government, some good, sellable candidate might be what the opposition needs to win the governorship seat come 2015. I'm sure PDP is watching! 1 Like |
Career / Re: Two Fox News Anchors Resign Live On Air by highlandre(m): 3:47pm On Nov 22, 2012 |
If people followed news reports and commentaries of FOX News when Obama won his re-election to the White House, then it wouldn't come as a surprise the claims of the broadcasters that objectivity is shunned by the management of Fox News. Because the management of FOX News wanted Mitt Romney to win the election, their report of Obama's victory at the polls was very poor |

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Rafa Benitez Appointed As Chelsea Manager by highlandre(m): 10:53pm On Nov 21, 2012 |
I don't think any good coach would jump at an offer to manage a club like Chelsea considering the hire-today-fire-tomorrow style of the tyranical owner, but when a man is out of job for over a year like in the case of Benitez, you can't be wrong with judgement. I can only say "another wood has been thrown into the fire to be consumed at the slightest irritation of the cook". Good luck, Benitez. |
Education / Re: 15-Year-old Ibukun Omoyeni Wins Africa's Trophy For Spelling by highlandre(m): 3:57pm On Nov 21, 2012 |
Impressive! The parents should encourage her to study something related to her strength: we may be having another Nobel Laureate soon |
Religion / Re: Private Jets: CAN Slams Kukah, Bakare by highlandre(m): 7:59am On Nov 20, 2012 |
This CAN, I'm sure does not represent the interest of true Nigerian christians. They are a bunch of church leaders whose interest supercedes those of their teeming followers. I'm a christian and don't think this Association represents me a bit. Or, what is CAN doing to ensure that the astronomical fees charged by most of these church-owned Varsities is reduced to make average christians have access to tertiary education? Any christian who thinks this current CAN represents his chequered interest should go back to bed and sleep once more. Iranu! 12 Likes |
Politics / Re: Presidency Officials Accuse Jonathan Of Lying To Nigerians by highlandre(m): 2:55pm On Nov 19, 2012 |
If Abati has any form of integrity left in him, then he should resign. I for one know Jonathan frequently commits communication somersault |
Politics / Re: North Sustained Nigeria Economically Before Oil Was Discovered - Ango Abdullahi by highlandre(m): 2:00pm On Nov 19, 2012 |
In all fairness, I don't think South-South governors have justified the huge amount they receive from the Federal Government. The revenue allocation formula too can't be said to reflect the federal nature of our system, but this is too technical to argue; an ideal federalism would not only ensure equitable allocation of resources, no federating unit would have to suffer at the expense of another. The question I wish to ask is "what was the sharing formula among states before oil became Nigeria's main economic driver?" |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: ‘60% Of Nigerian Graduates Are Unemployed’ by highlandre(m): 3:29pm On Nov 15, 2012 |
As much as I find this figure outrageous, I don't think the percentage is accurate. Hypothetically, I can say that about 92% of Nigerian graduates are without job, or doing what's best for an O'level holder. It's that bad! 3 Likes |
Celebrities / Re: Obasanjo & Miss Universe Leila Lopes at South-South Awards by highlandre(m): 2:18pm On Nov 15, 2012 |
What too many people don't know is that the girl is very happy to have taken a photo with Baba. Besides, I pity those who derive joy in writing nonsense about a man who has achieved what many can't in their lifetime. Smh |

I believe this, but you must be a PDP member to stand any chance |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Mega Strike Hits Europe: LIVE UPDATES by highlandre(m): 2:28pm On Nov 14, 2012 |
Nigerians are suffering more than these Europeans, but would rather suffer and smile. Where people all over the world are determining their destinies through a coalition of efforts to change status quo, we are here waiting for 2015 elections to come before doing something. I pray those unborn children won't one day curse us all for their fate. 2 Likes |

Nice costume, nice character, though not as funny as intended |
Politics / Re: North Demands Death Penalty For Corruption by highlandre(m): 9:55am On Nov 14, 2012 |
This is the best antidote for our system. If China is an economically strong nation today, it should be noted that this law is largely responsible. Nigerians, just like other Africans, need a tougher punitive measure to get things right. I completely vote for this!!! God bless Nigeria!!! 7 Likes |
Religion / Re: All GO's & Religious Leaders Must Go To Prison — Pastor Tunde Bakare by highlandre(m): 6:49am On Nov 13, 2012 |
If our religious leaders get it right and de-emphasize flamboyance, our society will be fixed. Bakare is an example of what a true pastor should be: undaunting, straight-forward and truthful 1 Like |

This shows how a lot of innocent people have been killed and labelled criminals by this ill-trained and fearful officers. May God continue to keep and protect us from these murderers we call police |

Politics / Re: Have You Held Leadership Position? What Was The Experience Like? by highlandre(m): 1:48pm On Nov 11, 2012 |
I held presidential positions at the university; you need to know how it feels like to lead before criticising leaders. Followership is much more easier than leading people |

Politics / Re: Jega Admits Flaws In Ondo Guber Poll by highlandre(m): 11:25pm On Nov 10, 2012 |
Irregularities are not uncommon during elections world over. If the result does not overwhelmingly or significantly impinge upon the outcome of elections, then the likes of A.C.N and PDP, who may be waiting for excuses to yell should channel their energy and strategy towards 2015 elections, rather than spend money for petition, which can better serve the common man on the street. 2 Likes |

Can we get someone to dirty-slap this man called GEJ? Somebody should remind Mr. President that people are dying everyday as a result of his empty security promises. I don't want to hear anything from this weakling of a president jor! |
Career / Re: ICAN Stops Direct Conversion Of Foreign Qualifications by highlandre(m): 1:36pm On Nov 09, 2012 |
I support the ban on conversion of foreign qualifications. A lot of people just brandish foreign certificates that can't be defended. At times, the process of obtaining those qualifications is questionable |
Business / Re: 12 Surprising Signs You Could Be An Entrepreneur by highlandre(m): 8:39pm On Nov 08, 2012 |
King Solomon I: Almost every article ever written about entrepreneurship suggests that it's not for everyone. And yet the articles go on to list attributes that many successful people possess as the traits commonly associated with great entrepreneurs, such as a strong work ethic, persistence, persuasiveness and discipline. You perfectly described me. You're an angel cos all those examples explain who I am |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Obama's Victory Spells Trouble For Israel's Netanyahu by highlandre(m): 4:57pm On Nov 07, 2012 |
It's a common knowledge that most Israelis wanted Romney to win because of his determination to pursue Iran's rumoured nuclear programme to a logical conclusion, particularly exploring the option of war. However, Obama has no choice but to stand by Israel against an increasingly daunting Iran and allies |

Obama, just like me, was born to break records! |
Crime / Re: Three Arrested For Lynching Suspected Robbers In Lagos by highlandre(m): 4:38pm On Nov 07, 2012 |
Jungle justice or what many now call Aluu-styled killings are not new to us in this part of the world. As bad as it seems to be, people indulge in the act due to lack of faith in both the police and justice system. Regrettably, I don't see this practice stopping any time soon unless the Nigerian police and judiciary rise up to expectation and dispense justice accordingly |
