@Beline

Funny thing though,,,,,
I gat all those qualities, every single one of them,,,,,,
Now about that marraige, I like my eggs scrambled, taken with whole wheat bread and some orange juice in bed.
Apart from that you can go ahead and choose the date dont wanna rush you, lol

Moral of the story? -
You cant use QUALITIES to choose a life partner.

It means he has not being listening to the conversation and has really just thought damn I really wish I could be with this chilk all the time.

Now what you guys do when you are together is probably what he missing

Arhan !

@Ma'bebe

You again ?

I guess birds of the same feather,,,,arhan

sooooo lol looooooooolllll
hahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!

Dem gurlz yeah?

Mi'bruv, tell yer man he gat his game on point.

So what if she tells ppl your guy waz thiz and dat? This is the worst that can happen. Your guy (If he thinks it is necessary to join up issues with her) just has to tell the truth and ask whoever that if they had the same situation to deal with would they do otherwise. Hopefully her coming out to tell people stuvs about your man that was apparently told in confidence to a lover + the fact that she broke off the relationship and ran like a bat out of hell + her BAD character as highlighted in your post = People will see through her and make their own decisions. If not your guy should try this,,,,,,,

Listen attentively while the rumours are being spread then say- I cant believe this girl will turn this shit around this way, I promised her on my life I wouldnt tell anybody about HER story and I am keeping my end of the bargain. Damn, I guess she stopped taking her medication, I'm gonna call her Doctor then call her. She must be in a bad place right now, poor darling.

@Bebe2007
_{*Lower jaw smashes into the ground!!!!*}

Mmmmmm All quiet here?

Does that mean nobody is doing anything to make Nigeria better? Or nobody is Failing? Or better still y'all dont need help?

N E ways 'Ad astra per aspera' - To the stars through difficulty !

@Sleekdot

Please start the story from the beginning.

How come the 12 policemen were killed? Who were they there protecting in the first place?

I sincerely beg to differ on this issue. I was in the Niger Delta at that time and regularly travelled the road between PH and Warri on which Odi is and I totally observed what happened. I do not condone it neither can I judge it. The youths of Odi (Or somebody in Odi) killed those 12 men - who have families, and homesteads and villages. Did you expect the Federal Government to stand by while the sovereignty of the Nation is assailed by a few incompetent 'nincompoops' ?

Moreover there have been precedence in other parts of Nigeria and indeed the world. No NATION will stand by held hostage by a few ignorant peasants (Not the entire Niger delta obviously !!!! Just the ones who think they can kill other people and then flee into the bushes while their entire kindred is decimated). That is what is called WAR.
Odi was a WAR zone. Now any arguments? Is there anything that happened in Odi we have not seen in other war zones around the world? Iraq, Afganistan, Kosovo etc. I do not condone it, but when you scratch your nose with the head of a cobra you should have the venom antidote at hand.

Obasanjo did not start it. He finished it.

Stop whipping up unnecessary sentiments.

@Luxoire

I sense a decent into despair.

Cheer up!!

Your exams are around the corner and I dont think any man is worth this much THINKING about, especially when he knows you gat exams and he not calling you. F*** Him. lol

I'ma hook you up good.

Comeon, let me hear you describe ANY man and I will make sure I GET HIM for you. Promise.

@Luxoire

Believe me if you can get him to do it you will be the better for it.
When you try it, imagine,,,,do you know who sent me mine? Yep ,,,MY then GIRLFRIEND. And I ahem _{clears throat},,,
Anyway this is not about me,,,,,Beg, threaten, be sweet, USE JUJU, but get him to do it and do it right.

@hotchic

hot chic:
I feel you,have done this for many people though but guys aint that interested in stuffs like that n they feel in lotta wrong info n can be misleadin somtyms.

Try it, for real. Just try it you will see the potential.

Try it yourself then imagine your man taking the exact same test.

And yeah,,,,I am a guy just in case noone noticed,,,lol

_{clicks heel and does a short bow}

I beg your pardon good ladies and gentlemen. I meant to say

Please Visit: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-53642.0.html

I thought this might be inspiring to some people. It is a quote from some emagazine I subscribe to.
It is by a gentleman named Chris Cardell.

A couple of weeks ago, The Sunday Times published its Rich List of the thousand wealthiest people in Britain.

To get onto the list - in other words, to make it to position one thousand - you had to be worth at least £80 million .

Many on the list are Entrepreneurs. They own their own business.

Here's the interesting thing,

You have something in common with every single Entrepreneur on that list.

Here's what you have in common with them.

At some point, they were exactly where you are now.

Whether you're comfortably running a growing business or ignoring the overdraft letters from the bank - every single Entrepreneur (apart from inherited wealth) starts from zero.

So at some point, they were all where you are now.

What interests me (and I hope strongly interests you) is what they do in those early stages that create such apparently stunning success.

How do they end up worth £80 million plus, while most business owners struggle.

Now thats what I want to know too !!!!! Not the myriad of problem besieging the UK economy or sociocultural wellbeing.
You can choose to watch Trisha or Bloomberg, same country, different views.

Thats what I want to know about Naij, how to take advantage of the Nigerian stock market which is higher returning than the NYSE and NasDAQ both and turn my OVERDRAFT notices into 80 f**king Million GBP and SOON.
lol.

AHEM    _{clears throat while pushing left sleeve up left arm with right hand and then pushing right sleeve up right arm with left hand}

I wonder if you ppl noticed the title of this thread - GOOD THINGS HAPPENING IN NIGERIA ?

Ppl have come here to express stuff they think is BECOMING better in Naij and some armchair action men have decided to come here and do their devil sent deeds.

FYI if you think there is nothing good happening in Naij start your own thread - BAD THINGS HAPPENING IN NIGERIA and you will see that intelligent people here will post issues there too. We all know that Naij is not as we want it to be, so even I appreciate that there are bad things happening in Naij. But as they say 'If you sit down you are not going to STUMBLE over any solutions' or is it 'Nobody ever stumbled upon anything great while sitting down', mmmmm.

To use the example of one of my most loved and revered Intellectuals in Nigeria, who said
", while my fellow Men where 'enjoying' the company of women of easy virtue and men of questionable character, I was bent over in the faint glow of my desk lamp agonising over the solution to these problems we have in Nigeria, '
This man planted the J4 forest reserve about 40 years ago when the dividends were neither relevant nor in anyway immediately realisable. That forest reserve now spans Ogun and Ondo states and is the only thing one can see in Africa from space. It also provides 100's of people a decent livelyhood now. But I digress.

Ppl who see no good in Naij please you can hold your opinion. But this is not the thread (nor I imagine the forum) for pessimists. We desire optimists, realists, pragmatists and strategists.

Start your thread on the Bad things happening and you will see me there posting too because I gat sense. I am discerning. I know where to and how to put an argument across.

Please visit:

We want to know WHAT YOU think is happening in Nigeria and YOU think is good !!!!!!!! YOU think is GOOD. Or is there nothing that is happening in Naij you think is good,,,,,anything?

@bebe2007
I'm cool mi'darl. Just SAMOS different day.
I know how much work it is trying to get Mr. Gorgeous to stay out of your head, believe me I know. It is basic handbook stuff for players. They give you the 1 out of 10 things you need in a guy and let your real man give you the other 9. It works all the time. As long as your man dont gat that 1 thing Mr. Gorgeous is always going to be a threat. Believe me I know, It has worked for me a million times (I am retiring from the game now though, lol) even if it is 20 yrs down the line if your man still doesnt meet up to Mr. G in that 1 area then you will still find it hard to deal with this crush.
My advise stop avoiding him,,,,thats just a temporary solution. Tell your man about what you like in this particular guy, introduce them if you are feeling confident enough, let your Man see the desire in Mr. G's eyes but keep reassuring your man that you will choose him anyday over Mr. G adding though that Mr. G does have that 1 thing that your man dont have. This will work in two ways:
1. Mr. G will be taken aback for a while, trying to understand your game.
2. Men are fickle creatures like all Humans I dare add, your Man will be happy that you chose him but will see the LUST in Mr. Thiefs' eyes and hopefully get the hint and acquire this finesse you admire in Mr. Thief removing immediately Mr. Thiefs' play and therefore his relevance to the game (You).

@Olowoaiye
Well spotted. But I expected you to then propose 'your' solution though. We want this to be a proactive thread ensuring that every post goes on to contribute to a general enligtenment.

@Big B1
Na tire I tire come siddon think say 'how far?' Please contribute with excitement.

Regarding Justgoods' issue I still think my 'approach' would still have worked. Because you didnt SEE any rigging did not mean there was no rigging. As we all know these so called ELDERS did not constitute the entire electorate. So are we trying to say the successful candidate was chosen by concensus ? If so where were the other candidates?
Exposing these so called elders and their error with these electronic media would have ensured that people could understand WHO made the mistakes and next time hopefully not listen to these so called elders.
You see the other day I was watching Adedibus' interview on Ben Tv and I must say that though I have never liked the man (Infact I can say I hated him) I find myself now respecting him. I mean the man is a PROFESSIONAL at what he does. He said all those things there and in Naij too when I was there but nobody has come out to refute his statements. Frankly if I wanted a political Coup in Oyo state I would go to him. That is strategy. You do your situational analysis and then plan. Adedibu can either be an Asset or a Liability, In Oyo he can never be overlooked. That is a professional.
In Ebute metta I am sure a similar take on the issue would have produced more desirable solutions.

The bottom line is that:
1. Your responsibility is to document and make aware for posterity. (Note: Adedibu Interview will always be there for ever) When a more accountable government comes into power he will pay I assure you.
2. Read The Art of War, Never confront an Enemy you are weaker than, bide your time till the seasons are in your favour.
3. Never fight on a terrain that is advantageous to your adversary. Take the Higher ground.

That is my contribution again.
House, I rest my case.

@angel

I like you already,,,,,thumbs up.

N.B though.
In Naij last time i was there,,,,if you litter and are caught by KIA or KAI,,,,you get to sweep the street and I didnt believe how clean Lagos was, for real it was cleaner than many places in the UK (or London at least). I know the hounds of Naijhaterz will be at my heals now,,,,,just think though,,,,,its a start.

@Justgood

This is just my opinion.

First of all I really appreciate the fact that you would post here it means that you are relly concerned and want to contribute.

My opinion:
We are Nigerians, we know Nigeria. Lets not pretend we are in HEAVEN,,,,because even the UK and the USA have their own limitations when it comes to politics and administration. FYI in the UK where i live,,,,there have been occasions of wide spread rigging of elections ditto the USA.

What I heard you say here was that you tried to fell a leviathan with a blow from a rolled up newspaper,,,,its not going to work.
I heard a lot concerning (and expected a lot) of rigging in the (s)elections. But in this age of video and camera phones, digital cameras etc I have not seen anywhere,,,,,on NL, youtube etc any videos or pictures showing 'widespread rigging'.
I wonder if you know what videos can do,,,,the LA riots is one poignant example.
You would have done more getting video documentation and posting on the internet for unbiased reviews and I am sure you will get the support and the effect you want.

Just my view.

Please, I am starting this thread for proactive pragmatic newage Nigerians everywhere.

We are not here to whine and complain about infrastructure and the government.

If you have tried to do something and have failed in someway but you see other people succeeding please post here and hopefully someone who has been successful will help.

I think thats what NL is all about.

Thank You.

Please, die hard DOOM prophets,,,,there is a thread for 'Things I will do to make Naij better' ,,,,please post there and let us know how you would answer the great question that is Nigeria.
It can also avail us the opportunity to determine your intellectual, entrepreneurial, social and phycological PEDIGREE,,,,you know? so we can compare apples to apples,,,,,,,

I am starting another thread titled - What I have tried to do to make Nigeria better but failed, Pls Help.
Please Optimists I hope you contribute lets try to help each other solve whatever problems are confronted here,,,,,PLEASE Optimists ONLY !!!!!!!

For one,,,,,i will quit quibbing about what is not      enough already!!!!!

Two- I will strive (God willing) to emancipate myself. Strive to return a profit on my existence,,,,U know- spend less than my income (whatever it is), be strategic in my approach to life (Do a situational analysis and employ the resources available to me to achieve my objectives) not expecting my mails to arrive at WC1 when my street sign says this way to Mushin Olosa, get? Live in NIGERIA. I'm actually tired of people trying to make Naija Jand when they have not mastered the art of LIVING in Naij. Believe me if these same ppl came over to the UK they would end up at some menial jobs still.
THE CHALLENGE IS EXCELLING IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT._{*WHEREVER IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*}

That way the country has 1 less blabbing mouth to spend so much resource shutting up.!
And 1 more person bending down to help lift this load to the head.

@bebe
I am not enough of a man,,,,you are far too kind. 

Howz it goin anywayz?

NymphoQin:
who cares if he is cheating, abeg i am getting mines too, so no problem. Love is way too over-rated. Everybody should shag whom they want without silly quilt trips. I am all for open relationships

@NymphoQin

I am not worthy of your presence/attention, You go gurl.

So lol,,,,

I am indeed overwhelmed by the degree of ignorance that some people display about issues concerning economic and social wellbeing.

@jen33
I see what you are trying to show. I understand. I know that when the UK government expends so much energy to bring the Olympics to the East of London (Where I live by the way) they know that an ELITIST event such as this would naturally bring with it SME's that have to cater for the feeding, housing, cleaning, maintenance etc that follows such events.
I know that the housing industry in both the UK and the USA (where many of me and my 'Itooknow' brothers live) is primarily funded by the financial services industries (i.e banks etc for the lesser knowledgable) who take a position in the housing market and avail funds to developers to erect those grand (not) edifices that you guys live in in thamesmead, stratford, deptford, dagenham.
Now, a key element in those your mortgaged properties is the OWNERSHIP of the property. The person who holds the leasehold or freehold owns the property and the LAND for a specific amount of years. That is not the case in Nigeria. As at the last check I made in Nigeria the Land use decree allows the government to issue you a CofO but the land is not yours. The government can decide to build a road through your property tomorrow and will only need to 'refund' you the COST (not the market price) of your building (the land is the governments remember). What this does is that it limits the amount of investments that can be committed to the industry. I am happy to hear that the President 's'elect   has made the land use act his premier submission to the national assembly.

My brothers who are waiting on the government to provide them with infrastructure before they can start - farming, recharge card business, mining, trading commodities, trading stocks, providing services like teaching languages, cleaning RICH peoples houses for them removing the need for housegirls and houseboys, providing interface for people that need to get to the UK and the USA for business purposes but cant get visas, selling clothes to the milions of time poor but cash rich Nigerians, I say dont worry jare it is not possible (even on Nairaland here the business section bears witness to this). All of these are middle class and lower class pursuits.

I am looking at the pedigree on this post and I am thinking- an entrepreneur needs exactly this kind of environment to thrive. The Charles Bronson's of this world, the Stelioses etc.

I see what you are trying to show jen33 and I know we are not yet there but we will get there much sooner than all the NaijadonlossforAmericaandLondon wish us.

Aluta Continua.

bebe2007:
@Ijogbon,


Thanks for taking time to comment. You completely missed the point mate!!!! i never said my boyfriend was providing me with money or whatever. Where did you get that from? If you must know, i am very self sufficient ok. Please take that comment back. I will and have never dated a guy because of money, thats crazy! I mentioned i liked his PERSON NOT HIS POCKET. How are you so sure he has money anyway. I EXPECT AN APOLOGY.

@bebe2007

To a lady (I hope?)
My sincere and unreserved apology. Mia culpa.

Hey, I guess its your time.
This stuff (ur problem?) is an epidermic. Its in the air. I know personnally because I know about this sort of stuff. A lot of women (and men too) are being confronted with this question and not meeting up.

@bebe
Glad to hear you say you have sorted this time out (I wonder wot you decided) but the problem is not the Mr. Universe but the way you think. If it is not Mr. Universe it is Mr. Macho. You still have plenty of temptations to overcome my gurl and I dont think you will survive.

In Nigeria as in many other places ppl look at relationships as things they can take from not something they should contribute and add to. You describe your bfriend as providing and strong bla bla bla, well that shows the view you have of relationships. That is exploitative, you seem in it for what ur bfriend can provide and not for what you guys SHARE. If you had spent time BUILDING the relationship and not taking advantage of it I doubt you will want to ADD Mr. Adonis to the equation.

Then again the soceity (especially in Naij) dont support what I gat to say so I will shut up.

I, like most men started off like your bfriend. I learnt very quickly that I was a Mugu (I mean U the gurl are the one thinking of cheating? what better definition of a mugu other than your current "bfriend". Now, like many good men, I live the life of a predator and what a sad life it can be sometimes. But many ppl want to be like me when they grow up so I aint complaining.

My advice gurl is that you really really figure out what you want from this life (a boyfriend is not a sugar daddy) if what attracts you is a furyne ass Nigga, maybe u should learn to be self sufficient then you can go after all the furyne ass niggas in the world and not have to worry about keeping Mr. Reliant on the side.

Any way you go, you'll be alrite I know.

I find this a very pertinent issue at the moment in 9ja.
Many Nigerian banks and indeed businesses are trying to get into the international market and with GLOBALISATION, POSTMODERNISM and all what not the importance of competing with regards best practices can not be over emphasised.

The bottom line is this, what is good service?
I dare to say that good service is service that satisfies. End of.
The service most ppl give in 9ja is not satisfying. period.
Satisfaction according to the Disconfirmation principle is when customer experience meets customer expectation or disconfirmation = 0.
So where ever you are, no matter the socio-economic background satisfaction is meeting your expectations and these expectations are tempered by your culture and its relationship to the culture in which you are receiving this service. For example a Nigerian receiving below average service in America might feel delighted ( +ve disconfirmation) even if it was really nothing (no need for y'all to be trippin).

In Nigeria it is so true that most service falls short of this criteria. It is also true that customer satisfaction affects loyalty which in turn affects customer equity which then affects market share and corporate profitability. Benjamin Ehigie actually studied the relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty to their banks in Nigeria and found that the more satisfied a customer the more loyal he/she is.

My question now is this - is the Nigerian man or woman MAD for EXPECTING good service (customer expectation) then receiving NORMAL 9ja service (customer experience) and getting dissatisfaction (-ve disconfirmation). Pls tell me O!

Its a culture thing you see, our fathers and our fathers fathers have bequeath it to us.

As you all can tell this is the subject for a thesis which I plan to write someday.

I will help you my man.

First of all if true love could be bottled and sold and everybody in the world had a cottage industry doing it, Bill gates would still be this rich and be the poorest person in that world.

True love is a philosophers stone, we all know what it can do, some claim to have one (or two) but no one, not even the people who claim to have it can describe what it is,

Hey, I am taking offense. Are you trying to say there is something wrong with good Old casual s_e_x for money as practised by 100 million Nigerians today?

Are you a rich boy?
Do you like beautiful women?
Do you aspire to stuff?
Do you like to protect your hard earned money from ppl who tell lies of love so they can get you to give them money to buy this boob tube, or make their hair, or their nails but wont 'put out'?

If you can answer yes to even one of the above then you dont want to go about lookin for true love, it is good to 'FIND' it , but expensive and dear to look for,

What you need is some good gsm numbers of ppl who know just what they want,

Please O , I am using this forum to suggest if you have any numbers of bizness girls in Uni's plz lets post the numbers, no worry we go do the rest, just numbers, names, locations
Just look at it as a charitable action, some ppl need the numbers bad!!!!, lookin for true love is a tiring thirsty job, I need wetin go quench thirst Abeg!!!!!!
To show that I am a fair man i go start the list of tel nos. on my posting 'ashawo mailing list' take a look.
