He is probably one of those that radicalized Buhari.

Like they say, "when the king wants to get mad, he starts by killing the kingmakers first"

Hope Uzodinma wants to be president in 2023

He couldn't become a governor in Imo State because he has no certificates. I can imagine on Federal level. They
will have him for breakfast. And it is another Igbo man that will do it.

lilmax:
if there's something I learnt from Chimamanda is being intelligent and manipulative

intelligent in a way to control these whites,they just prove how dumb they are

That's what you think.

Dixie Chicks thought so too until oyibo people judged their matter after they "misyarn" and they ended up in oblivion.

It sounds like the 419ers who scam oyibo people of $40k and believe they are wise...

meanwhile the same oyibo scam Africans of millions of dollars every month and keep mum.

The interest on Abacha's loot alone for the many years domiciled in Oyibo country is probably more than all
yahoo boys make in a year. But you will never see oyibo people brag about it. Manipulations get different levels.

Over a year now, the old man has been working to own a 2008 Corolla due to the low fuel consumption.

We both talked about the car several times and because of the price, he went for a 2006.

So papa, a boss and also a father brought this Corolla to the office on Monday with dealer claiming papa is very lucky to get a clean title and accident free car like this.

Congratulations sir! congratulations sir!! everywhere(Civil servant na)

Sir, how much did you get it?

He said over 2.2m.


But i noticed that the bumper, headlamps and the grill are kind of not in line(Space between them).


So i shot the vin, the first picture and brought it to one of my thread for assistance(cosplay).

And i got this result.


Can i tell him?

Good for him.

Last bid $275 ==N99,000
Additional fee $1000 ==N360,000
Towing $200 ==N72,000
Shipping $1200 ==N432,000
Clearing - N500,000
============================================
N1,463,000
============================================
Misc (?) round up == N1.5m
============================================

Profit N2.2m - N1.5m = N700k

You should tell him so that if he is travelling far, he should take it easy on the speed else he may end up
dead in a ditch somewhere from broken suspension or others.

Final final, they will blame his death on villagers or enemies.

/*

Side note: When I was in college and using used car sales as side hustle, some people would be pricing cars like tomatoes
because their neighbour bought something similar at a reduced price. Thanks to VIN #s, they can now see why a car is
sold very cheap. */

Although in this case, your oga got taken.

That he calls himself a pastor doesn't make him one, the Bible says by their fruits you shall know them.

Therein lies the problem.

Who anointed all these [wo]men of G(g)od?

If you are not sure that this one is a pastor, how sure are you that Suleiman, Adeboye and Oyedepo are?

Only the ones that got caught are not anointed. Don't forget that up till last week Prophet Callistus was an anointed man.

BabaRamota1980:
I do not doubt your idea is a good one. In a skyscraper, whether residential or business space, two facilities are in constant and high demand - plumbing and elevator cars, heavy in certain hours than in others, but nonetheless in constant use.

Air ventilation is always on but not demanded...which means it has two states, ON/OFF.

Running water is a demand service, and so is elevator. The car does not wait to get full before moving. It can even run empty. Someone on 20th push for 1st floor. The idle car on 10th floor shuts door and move 10 floors up to pick and run just 1 occupant down 19 floors.

Such a system will require more than renewable energy from sun to function safely. A diesel engine is a solution for backup power.

But i guess to go back to your point, such a community as you envision must necessarily have three "independent" power sources.

Primary - Commercial grid
Failover 1- Renewable energy
Failover Auxiliary - Carbon energy

/
So many things that could be done in Nigeria. But power challenges always form outliers.
Electricity is the backbone of infrastructural and technological development. But when you leave both at the
mercy of people who care less, what we get is a country that is stuck in 18th century.
Power generation is a large chunk of business overhead in Nigeria. Any plan that does not address the power
issues first is dead on arrival. Generators cannot and will not lead Nigeria to el Dorado.

One thing is certain--if you build, they must come. Just 8 years of Chime in Enugu, and continuity by the current
State government has changed the landscape of Enugu from a sleepy urban center to a modern city. I checked
on many people I know that lived comfortably up North, most of them are now residents in Enugu and enjoying it. What more can one
ask?

5 Senate Presidents in 4 years.

Igbo people should look closer and see how other ethnic groups progress politically in Nigeria by protecting their own in power.

Anyone heard from Ngeneukwuenu lately?

I hope she is not one of the victims of the Benue massacre.

Hopefully she remembers that whoever dines with the devil must use a long spoon.

Dino just learned the hard way.

The question is:

At this stage in the war against BH, should any Igbo person killed in Borno be brought home for proper burial or be thrown away in the bush for the vultures for being irredeemably st.upid?

/

/
No need.

The only god that Nigerians worship is MONEY.

No rich man can do any evil in Nigeria. From politicians, pastors to private individuals. The only place where hardened but rich criminals get police and military escort. When criminals who are refugee from the law move around with police escorts, who will arrest who?

If not why would Nigerians bow to looting politicians and even embraced the idea of #freeEvans? Once they hear billions, it seems to wipe away every evil associated with criminals. Wanna be a criminal in Nigeria? Better not be a petty thief--you will be roasted alive.

The taste of the pudding is in the eating.

All those who think Ali Baba is lying should try it. From touts to LG personnel, everyone wants to be bribed.

It is the same way FG will not allow State governments to fix federal roads because it will eat into their federal allocations that have been earmarked for excessive looting.

Sometimes, I wonder why bother?

Steve Jobs' last words


You will know of Steve Jobs, CEO and maker of iPad...iPhone etc.

He died a billionaire at 56yrs of Pancreatic Cancer and here are his last words on the sick bed:



"I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes my life is an epitome of success.
However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.
At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death. You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.

Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – "Life".

When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading – "Book of Healthy Life".
Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.
Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends...Treat yourself well. Cherish others.

As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or $30 watch - they both tell the same time...
Whether we carry a $300 or $30 wallet/handbag - the amount of money inside is the same;
Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road and distance is the same, and we get to the same destination.
Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine - the hangover is the same;
Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq ft - loneliness is the same.
You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.
Whether you fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down - you go down with it...

Therefore.. I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sing songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth, .... That is true happiness!!

Five Undeniable Facts of Life :
1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things not the price.

2. Best awarded words in London ... "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food."

3. The One who loves you will never leave you for another because even if there are 100 reasons to give up he or she will find one reason to hold on.

4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human.
Only a few really understand it.

5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, You have to manage!

NOTE: If you just want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone! But if you want to Walk Far, Walk Together!

Six Best Doctors in the World
1. Sunlight
2. Rest
3. Exercise
4. Diet
5. Self Confidence and
6. Good Friends

Maintain them in all stages of Life and enjoy a healthy life.

Sent with Smiles, Affection and Love !!"

The reality is that when you tear down any vehicle, you see welded and bolted irons previously covered with plastic and aluminium body to look beautiful.

What exactly are we paying for? Ego! That is one of the reasons why a BMW costs more than a Honda Accord but both will get the drivers to their destinations comfortably at the same time.

Quantity over quality.

Take some samples of NL--mediocres all over.

This is an environmental disaster.

Now I understand why Buhari is in support of the depopulation agenda of BH masquerading as herdsmen.

When you hear American citizens invoke the 2nd Amendment (the right to bear arms), it is to avoid dreadful scenarios as being played out in Benue.

But armchair critics (especially the ones who never crossed MMIA before) will always point to gun violence in America. They do occur but are dealt with decisively. Welcome to Nigeria. Citizens cannot bear arms. Citizens cannot depend on the government to protect them. 2019? Yep. The folks that got slaughtered had their PVC ready. They forgot one thing--only the living will vote.

Let the National Assembly keep playing the fiddle while Nigeria burns. Buhari should be pushed out by ALL MEANS NECESSARY AND PROPER. 2019 is too far away.

Buffalowings3:
Seeing how a private business is run has been an eye opener for me.
I work for a new establishment in ilorin and I am always aghast at the number of so called government officials we see monthly.
They are like ants trying to swallow up the nascent business.
From them demanding payment for water bills despite non existent water pipeline to our facility
To those demanding extra payment because our billboard has adverts on both faces
To ministries that couldn't get their shit together sending different personnels]to us every other month despite having resolved their issue the priviuos months

And then when I see the cost of power in running the place, I question the managers sanity in leaving the comfort of his blissful life abroad instead of coming to this hellhole. The sunk cost for power is mind boggling. He had to have solar, inverter, and the old bastards nepa just to get by.
From its inception, the establishment just barely breaks even.


This country is a mess
This country has gone to the dogs

Walahi if I own a business, maa da si rough fun won ni.
What has the govt ever done for me.

Only someone like you who witnessed it will understand.
Paying taxes is not the problem but getting values (if any) for your money is the headache.

Who will buy a Rolls Royce and take it off road?

Very unrealistic. It hasn't done what a lower priced LR4 or G63 couldn't do.

Just saying...

EgunMogaji:
No serious driller will give such a varying figure.

Should be more like:

“For Elebu area with it’s blah blah soil type we charge NXX per meter. With your alleged 110meterit will be NXXX

Please note that this is merely a rough estimate and we would need to see the survey to give a more accurate estimate.”

/
Why bother the guy? I think you should cut him some slack. If he tells you around N100k, someone else might underbid him. My way is to talk to the guy privately, get the quote/estimate and then throw it out openly to ascertain if it is a fair deal. The level of disclosure you expect will be difficult to obtain.
/

Egunmogaji:

The range is N50k - N1m.

Why N50k? Why N1m? Send your geo. survey for didactic details.

Thank me later.

Nigerians like to have all for nothing. If you open up a vehicle and give a list of things to be changed but the customer says that he will manage some as they are, will you force the change? Some will ask you to fix and abandon the vehicle at your workshop for weeks. Believe me, some folks buy cars they cannot maintain in Nigeria and will take out the frustration on you.

Person go hold you for shirt o! The ones who think they are connected will come with MOPOL and cause wahala.

Some good talkers can convince you and still be unable to rectify the problem(s).

I really don't know who to blame here. One thing for sure, once your vehicle is dismantled, you will be at the mercy of the mechanic.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
If we can't build tall houses due to power failure, then we can make broad shaped houses like the Loma Linda and Maryland estates as above.

I have always wanted to build a 10-15 storey building somewhere in the SE. Still brainstorming. By the special grace of God, 2020 will be the year. We will get there.

Robisky001:
Nigerians are too docile. Incessant killings like this would have called for national protest for the incompetent one to resign. But my country people are only waiting for 2019 election to come when they might even be disfranchised from the process by the clueless and heartless bubu foot soldiers.

/
The people who died were waiting till 2019 to vote him out.

Well...only the living will vote.

Buhari should have been impeached or overthrown a long time ago.

This is very ridiculous. What do I know? Nigerians love to die meaningless death.

Hillary Clinton has destroyed herself politically by listening to this dimwit.
She will lose a lot of women voters (they were never her constituents in the first place) for this singular act. The so-called feminists are just
a small number of disgruntled and bitter women who have no political base. They are in it for irritation.

/

/
There are always one side, the other side and the truth.

Don't forget thst this is NOI's story as told by NOI.

What happened to NOI poll? Did it disappear with Jonathan?
At the World bank, she was an underling living paycheck to paycheck. But as a Minister of Finance in Nigeria, she was the boss of the bosses. She had access to billions with a stroke of a pen in Nigeria which she can never duplicate at the World bank. World bank is just an institution.

The bottomline is that she supervised the brazen looting of the treasury under Jonathan. Trying to rewrite history at this stage is dead on arrival. A few years from now, Adeosun will write her own version of supervision of looting under Buhari with some sanctimonious undertone.
/

wordcat:
Remember that she prepare this question from her house hoping to bomb Clinton so if Clinton had ignored her, she will believed that the question was too hard for her and the fact that Clinton never expected this type of question yet gave a perfect answer shows that she far smarter and more intelligent than Chimamanda.

/
Not standing firm on her decisions and political correctness. These two things made her lose the election. Americans felt that she is a chameleon who changes colors to fit the circumstances.
One can argue that she won the popular votes. But did she win the Presidency? Her opponents know the rules of the game and applied it well while she was busy appealing to the mixed race states.

\

/
This is why she lost the election to Trump. She cannot seem to stand firm by her decisions. She lets political correctness expose her feeble mind to please just about anyone that shoves her a little bit. I hope she doesn't vie for the Presidency again because her political opponents will have a field day with such act of indecision.

/

CSTR1003:
smh.

Dencia must have hurt herself trying to think.


The places chimamanda have entered and dominated , dencia would be chased away with police dogs.


Attention seeking bleacher that does not know her level.

You are thinking like a typical retard Nigerian. Everyone has something they excel in. Chimanda is a good author does not mean she will always be right. She should maintain her lane. Michael Jordan will not turn into a surgeon because he is a famous basketballer. Chimanda is letting literary ego creep into her brain. She is a mor.on but a good fictional writer. Nothing more than that. It takes a little mishap to piss oyibo off and she is gradually getting there. If and when it happens, they will gladly dump her into oblivion. She is not the first and will not be the last to be dumped.

Hillary should have ignored her like Trump did when she thought her existence/opinion meant anything to Trump. Trump's team knew that she was inconsequential to warrant a response.
