There's an argument if Glock slowed down. I don't believe it. Every driver pitted to change to wet tires except Glock. If you watch the replay you will see he drove too wide and Hamilton passed him (the same way Hamilton allowed him to pass when he mistakingly drove too wide). I think he deserves to win considering all he has done over the season. I just hope the FIA will not find something this time to deduct points from him. Congrats - - Youngest ever F1 champion - First ever black man F1 champion Now we wait for Obama to wrap up the show |
Those who don't like the UK should leave it alone. No one forced you to go there. |
Africa is still one of the places where core traditional values are maintained. So called civilisation has blinded a lot of people. |
its like the author of this post was denied UK visa. He should thank the website admin for offering this medium to vent his spleen. |
Tyson was an animal - that is what made him special. Ali played to the media and they loved his pretty boy face and his loud mouth. He was special but Tyson was something else. I think Tyson is better. Check him out here. His greatest knockouts. Note most of the people were almost twice his size. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5v0vl6iTlC4 |
Why is every music demonic? I cant understand why people condemn anything they dont know how to appreaciate. What will you say about rap music that glorifies guns and violence? Does that make rap music demonic? NO!. Because a demon possesed artiste decides to spit dangerous rhymes does not leave us with the senseless option of seeing rap as from the devil. Anyway, back to Yanni. I think he is a musical genius. You need to watch his live concerts to understand. I will leave you with this beautiful number from him. Its called: The Rain Must Fall, one of my best: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ4ar_G_znk |
this one is one of my favourite yanni: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ4ar_G_znk |
can the story of Cinderella repeat itself? Maybe. ![]() |
The credit crunch (as its been named) is already affecting Nigerians. The value of dollar and pounds has fallen. That means less foreign currency influx to Nigeria. That means a reduction in financial value in terms of stock, asset and liquid cash for poor naija people all over the world. |
Watch his performance in the 1996 World Musical Award and tell me if any other person could have such mesmerising effect. So much that even SEAL had his mouth hanging open: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-p48-v01uI |
carmelily:You can start by doing the ones you have. Scan the list, there are lots you can do without really "having". Lets leave the ones that involve too much money. For example: Training young children in your area for free - this is a humanitarian act that requires virtually nothing from you. Simple advice and guidance. Donating your used clothing, books, shoes etc to local children - who does not know one or two people around who would appreciate even a used shirt. Be kind to people. Donating raw food stuff (or cooked) to families you know are suffering - this can be even guguru and epa. No matter how small. Teaching people to draft a CV and how to conduct themselves at an interview for free. - you will never know it but thousands of people have skills but cannot sell it because they can't draft a CV or write a proposal. Visit homes where we know that there are disabled or sick people just to help them clean, wash clothes etc. Even just visiting and chatting with them may be all they need. - my brother is this one hard to do? Donating beds, duvets, story books, body creams( u know that cream you bought that did not suit you and u want to throw away), to shelters for drug addicts. prostitutes, orphaned children etc - not too hard to do. Volunteering to go to the market for a vulnerable adult that lives next to you - the list goes on and on Raising money in your office for people who need surgery but cannot afford it. - charity begins at home (or was it in the office) and I will add: Try and change your way of life if you are involved in any of these: armed robbery, yahoo yahoo, bribery, corruption - the list continues. Now you know how to be a Nigerian. Now you know the first steps towards transforming our nation. |
yemmyse:I know where you can find this man: In Your DREAMS ![]() |
bintab:I quite agree, the rate of divorce amongst Nigerian couples (nurses included) is high. Most men treat their women like a "property" forgetting that yankee is not naija where you expect a woman to obey your every whim with robotic dedication. This new found yankee "independence" takes most men unaware and the not-so-strong can react like a cornered animal. Suddenly, the woman becomes the main bread winner of the house (like in most cases). The man becomes a baby sitter and cook. A stupid woman at this point begins to resent the man. The man becomes suspicious of the late hours - the genesis of the problem. All these are no justification for domestic violence or worse still murder but a lot many people crack under these type of conditions. |
Nigerians have an incredible capacity for taking bullshit especially from the government. These people know we take whatever they dish out (dictatorship, denial of rights, corruption, bullying, etc). We prefer to swallow and hope and pray for better days - its gone on for too long people. It sound and looks like a joke now when people say they are waiting for better days. And, hey stop asking God to change Nigeria, he did that long ago by giving you and I the brain to discern good from bad. Don't tell me you need God to come down to tell you bribery and corruption, yahoo yahoo, armed robbery etc are bad. The sycophants among us drive me mad. Even when we talk and complain simply as humans do, they want to show you how advanced they have become - acting as if they know something we all don't or trying to show how patriotic they are. What does it take to make a Nigerian say: "Hey, I've had enough and want to make a change in my life". Because, believe it or not, we are our own problem. If I change and you change, the nation will change. One of the best answers on this thread (apart from my own of course ) is this one from Sholeyb. I think If each of us does half of what he says, Nigeria will change and our rulers will change too. Because, honestly, who are these politicians and rulers? Its you and me. Quote from Sholeyb May I suggest that we all start to do something no matter how small. I appreciate the way people feel about the whole situation, but let's be honest no matter how much and how often we complain it cannot change the situation. |
I hope you are fine. If so doxology. ![]() |
Forgetting his private life, he is the greatest musician/performer the world has seen. Scores of artistes have testified being inspired by him. His album: Thriller became the best-selling album of all time; the album was the first in history to spawn seven top-ten singles. Duplicate that if you can. The album has sold over 100million copies worldwide and is still selling. He is the most popular human being on Earth. Infact at one time, ranked second only to the brand Coca Cola. Lets face it, he knows how to make good music. |
Hope and patience are nice virtues but not when you are being abused or someone keeps taking advantage of you. People could not believe Nigerians could make an offer to buy Newcastle United to the tune of money they quoted. They kept asking what we are doing abroad if our people have that kind of money. No offense meant. There is really nothing to celebrate. One more wretched feather added to the dung heap. |
A fool at 40 is a fool forever. Is there cause to celebrate at 48? Hell no!! There is nothing to show for it. Nigeria is like an irresponsible father. He gave birth to a 100 million children. He is extremely rich but has decided to squander and spend his money alone - letting his children die of hunger. Why would I celebrate such a daddy? No way ![]() - Its time we changed our ways. We have suffered enough. - Its time to do away with the bribery and corruption. - Its time to let go the get rich quick motives and stop scam (419). - Its time to orientate and teach our children that education, learning a craft or living honestly is better than forging a career in yahoo yahoo. Each day when I go out on the streets where I currently reside, I cry for my country because I know we have more than what it takes to be like them. I mean these people rely on us for what drives their economy - fuel. I look at UAE and cry when I see what oil money can do. These people literally built a city out of the ocean. Why cant we be what God has destined us to be? Most of our politicians and rulers schooled abroad and know what they should do but they have decided to turn a blind eye on the stark poverty ravaging us. Our boys have turned to yahoo yahoo in desperation. Our image is that of a deceiver. The first reaction of other nationals to us is: "Hey watch out, he's Nigerian. Lock away all the cheque books. Keep an eye on him.". Believe it or not, thats out greatest achievement in 48 years - the yahoo yahoo image. A nation too smart for its own good. |
why is very Nigerian website having the "naija" prefix or suffix in the site name? By thunder, its becoming anoying ![]() naija this naija that. Damn! Again, all of them want to use a green background. The green colour looks ugly for Gods sake. Lets see more creativity people. |
Guess who is faster: Theo Walcott or Usain Bolt? |
Am not sure who runs faster Theo Walcott or Usain Bolt ![]() |
seund1:One fake pastor has joined this yarn! Does he think we will fall for this sort of annointing |
bawomolo:They still made £36.7 million pre-tax profit in the year ended May 2008. Football is lucrative especially if you have a manager interested only in discovering young talents, buy them cheaply and sell years later for cut throat prices. The Arsenal management is happy with Arsene Wenger wether he gets a cup or not. He definitely understand corporate business. http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/plus The latest news about Newcastle is that a rival South African consortium bid £350m for the club. The Nigerian buyers have a strong contender in their hands. |
[quote author=A-town link=topic=174334.msg2858506#msg2858506 date=1222446126]@Ibexy Trust me you don't know half of what i know regarding black/african history so i'll ignore that statement. Why e dey pain you so much. Did you skip evolution in high school. Prove it to me that we are not monkeys and i will shut up. From what you have written, i can see that you are obviously a small boy. What makes you think i am a "boy". How do you know i am not a grandfather. The internet is anonymous my dear brethren. Stop making unnecessary assumptions. Is it possible to have a crime free society? Infact, i don't need to argue with you further, move abeg.[/quote]@A-town Since you addressed me, I will respond to you. What got me angry with you is that you stated categorically that all Africans are monkeys. What of the Europeans? They must be gorillas or Ourang-outangs in your opinion. The Asians nko? Baboons maybe. Even if I read about evolution in school, does that make it true? Are you blind to the differences between a monkey and a human? In the last 1000 years, how many monkeys have sudddenly shed their skin to become human or change into some higher beings. Each specie continued to begat itself. Even man has not suddenly grown 4 legs. Or is it not time for next phase of evolutionary changes to happen? Are you angry at being called a boy? Now I know your problem is self esteem. You lack it. No wonder you have demoted yourself to a monkey. The internet might be anonymous but your level of thinking and what you write here says it all. Beware what you say in public places like nairaland. |
This dude is in the twilight zones. He will soon snap out of it. |
[quote author=onye_ngbu link=topic=174334.msg2857704#msg2857704 date=1222436443]what is this tobialani guy?!! A Bot or what?[/quote]a cheap spammer! He has sent this same message to several forums here. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=7965;sa=showPosts |
who is this spammer ![]() |
[quote author=A-town link=topic=174334.msg2856289#msg2856289 date=1222414595]Finally, the problem we have is simply the fact that most africans are monkeys I am a Nigerian so don't think i am being racist or anything. We've always been a corrupt bunch and it is evident in all facets of our culture. Remember that we sold our own people to the "invaders" during slavery for money and power (they started it by forcing our people onto ships but they later deviced and easier means by paying our so called chiefs and rulers for slaves)This form of deceit to our own people still exist because children are being sold as modern day slaves. I bet most of you have these under age girls in your homes today. We are all Monkeys[/quote]From your name tag I see you have spent too much time in the slums of America. You have been indoctrinated so much that you now despise and disrespect your very own father by calling him a monkey. I bet he eats a lot of bananas. I quite agree with you. Some species of humans might actually be monkeys dressed in trouser suits. This includes the likes of you who misplace their anger and are ashamed of who they are. Because a few greedy and heartless people sold their brethren into slavery or that our government constantly engages in corrupt practices does not make us the worst class of humans on the face of the earth. I bet you think white people are angels and gods. I can offer you a bleaching cream so you can become white if you want but I doubt it will change your gene from being a monkey. My God, I always thought some of those monkeys escaped from the jungle into the city. I never thought one of them would appear on nairaland. No African is a monkey. No African has committed any offence greater than what the white man has done. Read your history books boy. don't be deceived. Take a trip to some of the poor black communities right there in America where you live. There is a strong reason why crime prevails in such places. I'll leave it to your lazy arse monkey brain to figure it out. |
Can you code in PHP? Are You good in any of the popular content management systems? Can you sit for hours debugging code? Can you afford to take a gamble with a brand new site that may or may not make it. Don't go rushing, this is not a full time job but a venture into the unknown and a trial thing. Its like a hobby thing. Provided you can dedicate a few hours a day and are ready to gamble that the site will take off big time one day then respond to this by mailing me at contact9ja@yahoo.co.uk. OR Are you a professional and can write very well about your area of study? Doctors, nurses, IT practitioners? Do you think you can write good enough to get people coming back for more? Same conditions as above. If interested, contact me at: contact9ja@yahoo.co.uk |
I see a lot of people yapping here about why these people did not invest in naija. Yapping about how unemployment and other social ills wreck the country and these guys want to invest in England. These are all stupid remarks. For how long shall Nigerians wait on the corrupt system to better itself? For how long shall we continue to pour money into the frustration that our country has become. For how long shall we invest and frustrated by unworkable infrastructures like power supply etc. I personally have played that 'patriotic game' of investing in my country in the past and came out crying. I will not blame these guys (assuming the story is true) for investing abroad. At least they are sure of a secure investment protected by a relatively transparent system. Go guys. When we stop deceiving ourselves and realise we got potential to be like China, Korea, India (and even Ghana) then I will be the first to invest in naija. |
