If Atiku is so corrupt as the Buhari administration would have us believe, then why is he still walking free? Why hasn't he been arrested and tried in the court of law? The man purportedly committed financial crime against Nigeria, so why are we waiting for America to arrest and/or try him ![]() Bizarre people O pari |
Don't blame the afonjas sha; everyone wants a good thing. An average Igbo lady is smart, hardworking, faithful, and neat (inside and outside). You can't find such virtue amongst their folks ![]() When I lived there in the early to MID '90s, it was actually a status symbol for a Yoruba boy/girl to date or marry an Igbo gurl. They view that as being sophisticated and classy. O pari tossie101: |

Are you retarded So you think because it's called West African Examination Council, the employees are appointed by "West Africa", eh![]() Please don't ever quote me again because I am ALLERGIC to dumb people Ewu ten kobo. Sorry for you!!! O pari NotJustOkay: |
Oga icon, you know that I have enormous respect for you, right? I have always seen you as one of the most knowledgeable and mature member of the forum. But why do you insist that I apologize when I haven't personally attacked anyone? My entire post was just to warn us about making this a popularity contest because that might breed nepotism and all what not. Granted that I used the world "mediocrity" but that was not directed toward anyone in particular. It was just another way of saying that I would like us to select the BEST people. Again, I think you guys totally misunderstood the essence of my post. O pari Icon4s: |
May God bless you real good, my dear! I was just trying to help but some folks think that I was tryna put anyone down. O pari Curtisaxel7: |
He should just stay put in Chelsea and keep collecting salary until 2021, then move to China to earn his retirement pay. After all, by 2021 he would be around 30ish at the twilight of his career. O pari Houseofglam7: |
My broda, I weak o. So PMB commanded his employee, the WAEC Registrar, to issue him a certificate .... how does that prove that the man actually earned an actual WAEC certificate? If anything, this charade has proved beyond all reasonable doubt that PMB doesn't have a certificate. Or else, he should have asked the Army to release his certificate instead of asking WAEC to issue him a new cert. O pari wingmanII: |
Oga mi, I think you guys totally 100% misunderstand my post. I wasn't tryna put anyone down or call anybody a mediocre. gosh, I don't even know the folks who have been nominated sef. I might check them out over the weekend but I haven't had time to check yet. Anyway, I was just making a generalized statement ... a general assumption, if you will, that we might end up with square pegs in round holes if we throw the nomination open, as an all comers affair. If you come down to it, I am NOT asking to be nominated. And if nominated, I might not even have the time to be effective in the committee due to the pressure on my time right now. However, I was just pointing out the need to have the right people in that committee. Not to sound conceited or anything but some of us have played this game to a very decent level. Some of us have the right connections and contacts in high and low places, both at home and abroad (a la Tbaba1234 and Joebie). Some of us have followed this game and even coached this game long enough to understand the game (a la Icon4s etc.). That's what's driving my recommendation. My intention was never to put anybody down or for a shameless self promotion. Having said that, I formally withdraw my name from the nomination, but let's give the other 5 candidates a very good consideration. Those are just thoughts but I would implore y'all to give those thoughts a very good consideration if we want to achieve our aim of forming this committee. There's a saying in my village that na "ora adighi atu ero". Even in the Bible, when they were about to replace Judas Iscariot, they established some standards/qualifications for the ideal candidates. They didn't threw the whole thing open for all comers. Just thoughts .... O pari Icon4s: |
LOL. Anybody can look "flawless" in a makeup photo. Duh, it's just like wearing a mask!! O pari praizblog: |
To the best of my knowledge, besides Julen Lopetegui, Real Madrid has only officially contacted TWO managers since Zidane quit. They are: Allegri to replace Zidane and recently Antonio Conte to replace Julen Lopetegui. The other names on this list are mere media speculations because NO official contact has been made with anyone of them - zero! O pari |
Haba! Oyin, be nice to him now, you never know if he's going to be your husband. #JustSaying O pari Oyindidi: |
So there's an app for nairaland now, huh? Wow. You guys 'ave gone nuclear, yo ![]() O pari Dollypizzle13: |
Egbon! Kabiyesi o!! Here's my 10 cents worth. I think you have a very good idea but we may probably need to tweak it a little bit to make it work effectively. In my humble opinion, the purpose of this committee would be defeated if the wrong people were "nominated". I haven't followed this thread or the nomination process closely but, like everything Nigerian, I am quite sure that merit is being sacrificed in place of mediocrity and nepotism. Yes, by the nomination process we can ensure that it is the power of numbers at work, but then that becomes the democratic formula for mediocrity. Hence, to make sure that the excellent few are not sacrificed for the many mediocre my recommendation is that we select the following 6 members and charge them to get the job done. To me, this proposed committee is too important for us to reduce it to a popularity contest. Anyway, here's my 6 member committee: 1. Icon4s 2. Joebie 3. TBaba1234 4. Safarigirl 5. Supernerd 6. My humble self (Icon79) O pari Icon4s: |
Apparently, this was written by a US based Nigerian because when did Nigeria start having credit score and student loans? O pari |
If they are real asylum seekers, why did they reject an asylum offer by Mexico? And why are they marching aggressively with Honduran flags like an invading army? And by way, the caravan doesn't bother me at all, I am just concerned that that might cost the Dems lots of votes this election. No matter how you slice it, most Americans don't want open borders. And that's how Trump is painting all Democrats right now! O pari BascoVanVeli: |
Bros, I am actually praying for a blue wave. However, I am not confident because the Democrats always snatch defeat from the jaw of victory. They don't have a message besides abortion aka "a woman's right to chose" and gay marriage. Even with all these madness going on in the country they still can't settle on a tough hard-hitting message to go after Trump. I have been listening to all their ads and it's always about protecting the woman's right to chose and then immigration! gosh, don't they know that most Americans are against illegal immigration especially in the midst of these crazy caravans. If the DEMS know what's good for them, they should stand up and strongly condemn these caravans. I am all for receiving immigrants but we can't take in the entire countries of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. O pari tbaba1234: |
The same way they claim that Islam is a peaceful religion, right? I think that their definition of peace is different from everyone else. O pari CuTTiieAngeL: |
Nne, you haven't chatted w poppa in a very looooong tyme. Did I say/do something wrong ![]() O pari safarigirl: |
KPOM! I prefer the "young". The old version looks kinda overripe to me ![]() O pari Houseofglam7: |
Bros, no mind me ... I was just venting. O pari Taliban: |
OK then, keep 'em underneath your pillow ![]() O pari Ugosample: |
All these piggy bank piggy bank crap, haven't you guys heard about banks? Learn to put your money in the bank, even those small change, and you'll earn interest on it ... especially there in Nigeria where y'all have sky high interest rates. That's definitely better than putting it in your piggy bank or underneath your pillow ![]() O pari Crimecity: |
The Liberals are really scared now, I cant wait until next week when they lose the mid terms and all cry about it. Also, there are two genders so nice try you trans gays. O pari safarigirl: |
My friend are you dense or something? I hate to repeat myself but I will indulge you this time. Again, if you want to have an intelligent discussion on the competitiveness of Serie A (or lack thereof), then just answer my basic question: If serie A is so competitive, why is it that only ONE team (Juve) has been winning the league since 2010? Why They have been literally sleepwalking thru that league. And they are poised to win it again this year, mind you! In fact, winning Serie A is so easy that Juve can even win it with their B team sef. That's how wack that league has become.Listen, anybody with even a casual acquaintance with football ought to know that Italian football (especially serie A) has been on a downward spiral since 2010.
