Ehn dude what I am saying is them SHUT THE F up about the matter. Do not comment about it here on Nairaland
Follow your own advice, besides do you see me comment about her?

LOL.

Always predictable...as emotional as a baby.

I can play with your emotion all day.

lovelygurl:
Then why not do as you are advising us

Bc I didn't log into her facebook account to whine like you crybabies.

She got the attention she wanted. She wins.

Why not stay away from the website? Every statement doesn't deserve a reply. Silence is golden.

But my people are too damn emotional because they have nothing to fight with.

Isn't this a waste of materials?

9" blocks with rebars spaced 4ft apart will give you the same structural integrity.

This seems like an overkill.

Pastor!

But if everything fails, it comes handy in arguments about European league in a bar. You can mesmerize those locals with quotes from Socrates and Rene' Descartes.

Construction in Nigeria?

Of course, it has to be an Arab engineer.

Sirjamo:
some Nigerians are very daft, Osinbajo did not pull any magic, it's just liquidity due to more dollars in the system that is helping the Naira to gain strength.

Conversely, liquidity they couldn't provide when Buhari was there?

Explorers:
The 33-year-old, of Dhaka city, Bangladesh, explains:

'It is busiest on the trains in the mornings and evenings when people are coming into the city to work or leaving to go home.

'Those who fail to get a place inside the train end up climbing onto the roof or holding onto the sides and fronts of the train.'

These are some of the folks that when they escape hell at home and move to Lagos, you people will term them expatriates and give them MOPols. Why won't they feel like kings?

Perhaps I am the only one that don't see the big deal in this issue.

No one is perfect. No human being is infallible. Only God is perfect.

The problem is that instead of worshipping God, Nigerians and other losers are worshipping the pastors. Folks have pastors' pictures and stickers in their houses and cars for protection. They don't believe in God's protection anymore. So for these eggheads, it is inconceivable that a pastor is imperfect after they placed him/her on a pedestal.

Your loss.

Banged a stripper? I don't care.

Three/some? I don't care.

Cum on her back? I don't care.

Church offerings? Now I am pissed!!!

Suleiman don buy market.

This is total blackmail. She demanded N500m and couldn't get it. That is her motive. Did Suleiman sleep with her? Well, I wasn't the one holding the torchlight.

US is going through a phase.

I will advise any intended traveller on a visa to exercise patience till June (summer time) for the air to clear on immigration policies. Why summer? That is the period when most visitors arrive the US for vacations. Things will be sorted out well by then.

There's truly no limit to the power of man's imagination. These whites keep achieving unthinkable technological feats everyday while we Africans are fighting over mere issues like political party, tribe, religion & so on.

If you see technological advancement.

That's why I laugh when Africans want to drag space with oyibo. Of course, Africans can work in these companies because they follow orders based on companies' policy and procedures. But no African will dream and develop anything meaningful from scratch without being burned by religious zealots as a witch. But we are quick to celebrate some oyibo fella as a technical wizard. We still celebrate pieces of iron welded together by so-called university graduates/engineers. Best case scenario, we find excuses even in failures.

B2Spirits:
What you should know is that special skills can't be hidden by individuals that possess them. It's like managers getting pissed off with celebrated dribblers with less goals.

I worked as a manager in a company owned by a professor of literature. Most of the meetings took place on WhatsApp platform where contributors are experts in the field, except the owner.

I have found out that rich people always want you to massage their ego even if they are wrong, and prefer losing, at times, to following a commoner's advice. I had never wanted to outshine them, but whenever I perceived that the result of not heeding my advice would be fatal, I would devise linguistic crafts that could only deliver the message to the prof. despite being read by all. The others would hail my language use sophistication, without them knowing that the prof. was smarting. He would have no other choice than submitting to me.

Along the line, he devised ways of making me look stupid, and I quitted when the ovation was loudest.

Now I've secured a new job in an hospital. My job description is purely about presentations--assisting the owner, who has been taking up this role before my arrival. It also requires me to be in the hospital everyday. Here, I normally don't have much to do between 10am and 4pm. Since that I would be busy at night and in the morning, I use that period to shop and and get important stuff done--I would still obtain permission before embarking on these. This job should have more men on shifts, but they don't want to hire more persons.

Being a good orator, my employer felt threatened and stylishly mentioned it in one of his presentations.

In his words, "Don't be surprised at our new man's ability to compete with Mark Twain as an orator. We all have special skills, and you are well aware of mine as not being oratory."

That marked the beginning of dramas.

I have an apartment in the hospital. The TV here has DSTV subscription paid for monthly, and linked with hospital wards.

Two weeks after my arrival, the owner disabled it. His reason is that he doesn't want patients to be watching ungodly channels. Know that Tv in the wards must be switched off by 8pm. But I watch it in my apartment anytime I want. I see this as a calculated attempt to get at me.

It's evident that this man wants me to live as a slave from other policies he rolled out later, and added them to my job descriptions. For instance, he found something meaningless for me to be doing by 10am to 4pm in a bid to pin me to the office at all cost, knowing full well that I use that time preparing my presentations.

Now I'm planning to quit, but my people are saying I intentionally want to throw away an opportunity. What's your take?

/
If your boss could get to his level with his skills, imagine what you can do with a higher level of skills?

The problem with intelligent folks is that they are too scared to start anything. So they end up working for C students with incessant whining that their skills are not being appreciated.
Your boss has one head as you. Go out there in the trench and get dirty. Your limit will be way above the sky. You are the only one holding yourself back.

Where are the feminists who always whine that men objectify women?

Women objectify themselves then men pass judgment.

AutoReportNG2:
What's your take on these lists?

Any contradiction?

Evaluating cars should be concentrated on engine, transmission and electrical components over time.

Anything else is minor per "wears and tears" from use or abuse by owner.

Billyonaire:
Even though I have a cook, if I read anywhere that my wife supported the #WifeNotCook nonsense, I will not only trend #HusbandNotATM but will also hire a model that can cook 'hot' meals for me.

Why make simple things complicated?

Not a cook? No problem.

The door is open...she shouldn't let it hit her behind when she leaves. I will even help her pack. Marriage is not a hostage situation. People don't value what they have until they lose it. What one woman won't do, others will. If cooking is her problem, she should make her papa house very comfortable for lifetime habitation until a sugarboy comes along.

He went all the way to Malaysia to form D'Jango.

It is well.

Lawlahdey:
See.. There's nothing like your man or "my" man.
If you can't share your man with another woman in this generation, you are only seeking to remain alone.
Even if your man doesn't marry another woman apart from you, he will still look outside and these other women will still share "your" man with you.

Sooner we start encouraging polygamy, the better.

Women who flaunt material acquisitions by their husbands on social media are only advertising to the bees that there is honey.
Most women that tried it lost their "faithful" husbands to younger and professional snatchers. Who no like better thing? Gold-diggers that sleep with Aristos would not mind a younger man with loads of spare cash.

Take Awolowo (war criminal via starvation of Biafran children) and Abiola (International Thief Thief as noted by Fela) off the list. You should have garnished the list with Sam Aluko (proponent of £20 to all Biafrans)

Awolowo and Abiola died horrible death a' la karma.

It doesn't seem like an assassination attempt to me because the kind of assassins that would trail someone of Metuh's caliber do not miss their targets.

Either they are members of Nigeria's security organization

OR

Metuh engineered the whole thing to help his court case.

mavverick:
What you have said is true, and its what happens in most developed countries. I am just interested on the planning done by normal everyday folks like myself and most others on here. JB have a whole load of experts covering from different angles etc, and also I suspect the have most workers on contract or on the payroll, so not waiting for plumber to show or bricklayer that is posting you whilst in another state where he has collected another job.

LOL.
@ bricklayer

mavverick:
7 weeks ke.

So what would be the timeline, thats some amazing level of project mangement/supervision and some kind of efficiency.
I would like if someone can give a rough timeline of how this can be possible, 7 weeks .

A Chinese developer built a 57-storey skyscraper in 19 days. Nigeria is not technically and technologically advanced yet. Some of the parts of the buildings we have could be prefabricated but people don't have money to invest in such a venture.

For example: With all the measurements, a fitter and a carpenter can make all the pillars and beams prior to digging the foundation. Even the staircase will be designed. When works starts, the fixtures are put together and a concrete truck pours all the concrete in one day. Then the partitioning comes after the concrete works curing and voila! You get a complete skeleton in one week. But it needs high technical experience and expertise. Nigeria is not there yet. Julius Berger does it in some of their projects.

Used Lycra in the past too

Metropcs is on T mobile network.

I use it for free international texts.

I am not concerned about other networks. My needs are satisfied by Metropcs. That's all.

Award200:
Police arrested her not because she is a strip dancer but as blackmailer. Blackmailers always have something in common. An evidence that can nail and expose their culprit.

A blackmailer doesn't necessarily need evidence to harass a victim. What they do is recreate a scenario that fits their narratives and push victims to pay. Some people pay to avoid the embarrassment from having to defend their honour in public. In this case scenario, we have a pastor and adultery. But somehow they keep railroading three/some, cunninglingus and other imaginative acts into the story. All based on rumour and innuendos. I know a few men who went on dates and were blackmailed into paying off ladies to avoid allegation of attempted rape. In one particular case, a white lady got paid because the doctor was worried about his licence and reputation. He is innocent. But if he had chosen to defend the allegation in public, his livelihood would have been shattered. Just like in negotiating with kidnappers, people pay not because of right or wrong but to get the problem to go away.

If the lady comes out later to denounce all these allegations, the harm to Suleiman is done already.

Ogene001:
oil will not last for the next four thousand years, Buratai is wrong.
kano Dss director who assulted Kanu - Dead
Rivers CP who shot protesters - Dead
Buhari himself - Almost Dead
Buratai, do you want to join?? Be careful

Buratai stated the fact.
Let's check other statements by overzealous Nigerians:
. PDP will rule Nigeria for 100 years.
. MMM has no central account and is here to stay.

Man proposes, God disposes.
Other former military chiefs that talked tough have their tails between their legs--the hunters became the hunted. Buratai's case will not be different. It is a matter of regime.

spyder880:
Well, it depends, because right here there is still a big boom in construction in my area. I have had to expand to Benin where we are doing a decking and to Abuja where we are planning to break ground for a new 6 flats next week, in Enugu we are planning to start a 48 room hostel, and a magnificent duplex, all for different nairalanders.

I still have about 3 ongoing buildings started last year, and work is progressing there. Things are costly, but people are building, all my friends that sell building materials are not complaining too much of slow sales, its been a case of people getting more desperate to complete projects before things turn from bad to worse.

This is how I look at it:

1$ = N190:
cement @ N1,200 = $6.3/bag
16mm rod @ N113,000 = $595/tonne

1$= N500,
cement @ N2,600 = $5.20/bag
16mm rod @ N280,000 = $560

Inflation has not caught up with dollar fluctuations.
For a diaspora Nigerian, this is a good incentive to build now. Or better, push the fund home and hope that prices will crash.

Tomatoes prices crashed. Rice price is crashing. I believe that the cost of building materials will come down too.
This is not the best time for anyone earning money in naira to be building.

EgunMogaji:
Questions for USA folks.

Are you using a service to send text messages to Nigeria? For some reason I'm not able to send text messages to Nigeria on AT&T.

Thanks.

I have 2 phone lines. My metropcs line is dedicated to social media and international contacts. They offer unlimited data and unlimited international text messages for no additional charge(s). I have been using this second line for about three years 4G LTE and it is very cheap.

PrickGetsize:

N100k per month is not enough.

NB: My answer is based on the assumptions that:
i). The lady is completely paralyzed.
ii). Folorunsho Alakija and Oprah Winfrey have two heads each.

Will you marry a chronic gambler who earns N1m monthly?

His money, his problem.

Together they can change the world.

Pastor is PHing without expecting GH. Yet people are complaining. Damned if you do; damned if you don't.

If I call myself a senator, you will want some evidence. But if I call myself a pastor, you will believe me. Who is fooling who?
