Do you have uk used Samsung galaxy tab 2 or 1 in stock? I will appreciate if you post the price.

Funny sha. The young man should have called his family after receiving the information. Atleast that chaotic situation should have been averted. Maybe the village is still in dark ages, but brazil is among 8 big economies.

franchizy: The results are not acceptable by me, there was a widespread malpractice by the LP and PDP, I urge the CAN to go to court. This is a clear rape by the INEC. A SHAME

Has INEC registered a new party called CAN? So bc ACN didnt win, they should go to court? Where u even in ondo or u are talking out of imagination?

Mimiko has proven that he is incharge of ondo state. The Margin is wild enof to give him victory irrespective of the outcome of the remaining LG's.

Tinubu + Sw governors - ondo govenor = Tony Anenih. I dey laf muke-muke. Anoda topic pls.

If Mimiko wins, I wonder what will happen to tinubu, the ASiwaju of Yoruba Land. The Ondo election result will be the beginning of a new era. Wathing the unfolding event patiently.

Callotti: See her 'Dumebi:The Dirty Village Fat Girl' face!
What are you doing in Lagos?
Don't you know the road to Aba?
How do we know the real ritualists if YOU BIAFRANS will not stay in the East?
No sympathies. . . the ritualists may be from any parts of Nigeria.
Thanks to Igbotic migrants and nomads like you!
Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!!!

Challotti or challoto, what makes you think the girl is from east? Why this deep rooted hatred on Igbo folk? Did any of them dumped u along the line because of your animalistic behaviour? You better watch your mouth child....

Ricky_Ross: I am an African, I cannot pretend to love or like flowers like white people. Na follow follow dey kill black Africans.
On my birthday, buy me something that is worthy, something that has value and then you can add flower to it. Bringing basket of flower's to me will only make me sad and i will return 5 basket of flowers to you in return.

If you be African, why you dey answer ricky ross? No be names like okija, amadioha, adelabu, etc suppose be your profile name....

Even though some of these guys mentioned above looted our monies but ,investing it in power sector which will eventually giv us constant light is a welcome development. The last time i checked, none them was indicted of any misapropriation of public fund. Investing the so called ill gotten wealth in nigeria to me is a way of giving back to the society. Of course i prefer them to indian investors...

In the world of Infotech, we call this data encryption which actually requires de-encryption Key(shared key). Patrick please send the shared key asap so that I can decipher/crack those strings of words...lol

I bought phone, samsung r220, for 22k and MTN sim for 13k5. Men, per minute billing was too harsh. I could remember calling somebody, it entered voice mail and my N50 gone.

As a man of God, He should have resorted to praying to God for her duaghter to be liberated from her wayward ways instead of physical asault. Thats what you get when the law gives children overbloated right as obtained in the western world. How can 15-year old girl think of going to party by 1:00am?,is this another dejavu.............?

If THIEF is not in her dictinary wot is in her dictinary? The collapse of NSE is a natural phenomenon abi.

Time magazine has set up an online poll, asking its readers to determine whether President Goodluck Jonathan; United States President Barack Obama; and his wife, Michelle should be on its list of 100 most influential people for 2012.


There are 206 nominees on the poll and they include French President, Nicholas Sarkozy; Syrian President, Bashar Assad; Israel Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu; British prime Minister, David Cameron; World Footballer of the Year 2011, Lionel Messi; Queen Elizabeth II; Senegalese musician, Youssou N’Dour; a slang, LMFAO.

Others include talkshow queen, Oprah Winfrey; Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg; U.S presidential candidates, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum; singers, Rihanna, Beyonce and Shakira; celebrity couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie; American billionaire, Warren Buffet; media mogul, Rupert Murdoch; Burmese opposition leader and Nobel Laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi;
and U.S Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

Interestingly, Jonathan is the only Nigerian on the poll.

Polling ends on April 6 and the TIME 100 list will be chosen by its editors and published on TIME.com on April 17.

The citation for Jonathan reads, “The twin imperatives of trying to end a bloody northern Nigeria Islamist rebellion led by Boko Haram and dismantle the fuel subsidies that are one of the country’s main sources of corruption (but are also, awkwardly, generally popular for keeping gas prices low) requires bold leadership of Jonathan, who is finishing his first year in office. Whether Nigeria descends into civil unrest, civil war or splits, or whether it reforms and Africa’s sleeping giant finally awakens, depends foremost on him.”

Corruption and the pain of being a Nigerian physician. Written by Ahidjo Abdulkadiri Kawu


Colleagues,

1. I am a spine surgeon employed at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada Abuja as a consultant.
2. I was a fellow of Scoliosis Research Society at the New York Hospital for Joint Diseases, US in August 2010 under the tutelage of Dr Baron S Lonner.
3. At the completion of my training, Dr Baron S Lonner on my behalf approached Samantha Torres of DePuy Spine Inc US for donation of spine equipment to help operate indigent patients in Nigeria to put to practice all I have learnt with him.
4. On the 15th December 2010, DePuy Spine Inc US approved the donation of some spine items for use by me at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada.
5. I contacted my hospital management who informed me to ship the equipment to Nigeria.
6. My clearing agent Siklaw Global Resource Ltd after completing the Form M and risk assessment paid the custom duty on the 6th march 2011.
7. The equipment was shipped in to Nigeria from the US and arrived in May 2011.
8. On arrival, the O/C (Officer in Charge) Custom Services Mr Wakama GAP inspected the document and said that we must settle him before he release the good since the donated equipment has a value of about N50 million.
9. I instructed the clearing agent to refuse to part with any money.
10. In order to frustrate the release of the equipment he refused to examine or release the equipment till it incurred a demurrage of N27, 800.00. His Immediate bosses intervene and directed him to inspect and release the equipment
11. In-order to justify his delay in inspecting the goods, he wrote a report that we undervalued the goods so as to evade payment of the requisite custom duty
12. Due to his greed; the need to justify his action and covered his crime he forgot that medical equipment and donated materials for humanitarian purpose do not attract any duty
13. This issue dragged on till 15th July 2011, when I wrote an official petition to the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Custom Service.
14. There was no response from the Nigeria Custom Service till October 2011 when I officially reported the case to ICPC for further action
15. In November, I was invited by the investigation officer from Nigeria Custom Service to tell my story
16. I was informed by the investigating officer that I have not done anything wrong and that the officer knows that too and that the equipment will be brought to the hospital for me.
17. Since November till date, the equipment is still at the storage which the Nigeria Custom Service has refused to release
18. I have discharged home to die many patients who would have benefited from this equipment.
19. I wanted the government to investigate this claim and appropriate sanction should be applied to this irresponsible officer whose greed has led to death of many indigent patients in Nigeria, yet I have not received any correspondence from them.
This is the story of Nigeria, where thieves have taken up our lives and greed is our religion

Which way Nigeria.............

@Poster. Have you asked your husband why he always ask you to keep quite? I think you and your husband are not moving on well. You will need to give us more information if you really need our advise.

@idealkocep,
until we start telling ourselves the truth, nothing will change here. it is only a fool that keeps doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
are we still giant of Africa? the answer is noooooooo. we are no giant of africa. benin republic president winning nigerian president, if our joe get shame, the news this morning will be that he has committed sui,
do u think joe will loose if our own jega was in charge of that election? no he will come out with a land sliding victory as usual.
instead of a president to use his office to bring peace to his own state(bayelsa) he is busy using his political muscles to bring about disunity in his state. joe brought bombing to nigeria and is gradually taking these bombing to his state.
look at nigeria, many committees probing many frauds yet non has come out or will come out with anything reasonable.
how can a man whose wife is a criminal be bold enough to look at someone else in the face and call that one criminal.
do you think other africans are as blind as nigerians on the crimes of this pdp govt?
abeg get serious.

You are right on point, but you have failed to understand that the issue of Boko Haram is more of politiccs than usual islamic militancy experienced in the other part of the world. Were you not aware tha a Nigerian once said that if he is not elected as the president of this country that Nigeria will not know peace. Have you aske yourself, why is it that it is only when a southerner rules this country that those almajiris in the north ferment trouble in the name of religion. Yesterday it was sharia, now Boko Haram. I know Jonathan is not doing enough to out smart his opponents but if this country is to move on we should  all assist him in whatever way we can rather than criticising him from all front. The removal of the five states governor has been a welcome development in deepening our democratic values and norm. I am surprise you a looking at it from political perspective. Please open your eyes, there are things you are not seeing right. It is always easy to see the mistakes of players from spectators angle.

Why are you guys beefing the Man GEJ? Instead of suppporting him at this moment, everybody is busy washing his/her dirty linen in the public. Is this how we are going to build this country? I tell you most of you guys will perform worse than the Man Jonathan if giving the opportunity.

Tinyemeka:

Why complicating things for yourself na? That figure 108k, is called NETPAY. After everything deductible has been deducted.

The entry-level pay may seem poor compared to other banks but after the first promotion, the pay profile changes dramatically, with the addition of Housing upfront, profit bonus, leave allwce, 13th month, etc.

And on top of that ZB is a very safe place to work in.

I don't know what your friend does presently, for us to proffer a better advice on job choice.

Are you serious, 108k net pay is not bad at all. I dont think most banks in Naija pay up to that for their entry level staff.

Is the 108k per month take-home(money after deductions) or gross salary(tax, PENSION, etc inclusive)?

@topic,

I think its based on politics, economic indices, standard of living of its citizens, technological development. . .not sure of the civilization part.

Definitely. Countries have done it and are still expected to do it (China, India)

there would have to be purposeful, measurable, discernible, positive increase in all spheres of the lives of its citizens. Certainly not our case.

Kofi Annan described a developed country as ""one that allows all its citizens to enjoy a free and healthy life in a safe environment. do you honestly believe that definition applies to Nigeria?

The sad truth is that Nigeria as we know it today is not close to Kofi Anan's definiton as regards a Developed country.

@Ileke-IdI, why never. please expatiate.

Based on what we were thought those days in school and what we read in papers today, Countries like Italy, USA, France, and etc. despite their dwindling economy and low credit ratings are still called Developed countries. Whereas China of today even with their massive economic base and sprawling military might is classified as developing country. On the other hand Nigeria, the largest economy in West Africa and second in Africa, is also a developing country.

My questions are:-
1. Is the case of developing and developed countries based on politics and civilization?
2. Can a country move from developed to developing?
3. What are the yardsticks for classifying a country as developed or developing countries?
4. Can Nigeria in our own generation be referred as developed country?
5. If question 4 is yes, how long will it take and what caliber of Leader do we need to truly kick start the transition from developing to developed country?

Valuable contributions seriously needed,

This is my first topic in the forum; please forgive me if I fall short of the existing standards.

@maclatunji, Must you be paid for everything? @yanka,Please give us proof.
