How do you propose we take out some of the major sponsors of a president out?
It's not impossible but the change have to start from bottom up.

BTW: Westeners benefitting from keeping Africa down is a myth. We are the cause of our own problems. Westeners didn't plague us with greed. It's a rotten disease embedded within most Nigerians

The oil is refined abroad then gets imported back. The government are supposed to be subsidising it though so yes it should still be cheap regardless

You are indeed right in the sense that refinery technology and capital resource is widely available so we shouldn't be left behind with something that will benefit us in great deal.

Ask yourself this, why is it that simple things just don't work in Naij?
Perhaps, answer to the question is not far from people in high places having too much to lose if things worked the way it was meant to

queensmith:
^^ but we can refine enough to meet the demands of other countries??

why do we ship oil when we dont have enough for ourselves?

We only export crude oil not refined oil
Refined petroleum (petrol, diesel)

No doubt . . . .Bring it on i'd say

queensmith:
^^^ I googles ARIS and didnt find anything about them- where is the base?

I'm only beggining to understand this, do people also know its cheaper to buy oil in europe and the us than it is to buy in Nigeria!! does that even make any sense! considering the fact that oil is a much more valuable commodity here than back home where its made!

@cap28 your right, gadaafi might have been tyranical but he will never allow his people to be violated by th eus!

Yes it does considering the fact that Nigeria can't refine enough oil to meet her demand.

Got me learning hat on

I don't have the time to indulge in a long back and forth about the social mores attached to sex. However, we all know what works and what does not work. We are not talking about some abstract "African society" here. We are talking about Amya a Nigerian girl who is nursing hurt feelings because her "casual sex" partner treated the sex casually. In our own social context, based on our culture and our worldview as Nigerians, casual sex is not a smart thing. I would make bold to say as human beings, regardless of context, it is still not a smart thing. But you are free to belabor that point if you wish. But to the subject at hand - for Amya,  it definitely was not a smart thing.

I still say it boldly - Amya, I am sure you want what we all want - a man who will love, respect and be beholden to you and you alone. If that is your desire, you are sabotaging yourself with your behavior. You need to revalue yourself and act according the new evaluation. Casual sex, in my opinion, tells me that you don't believe you deserve better.

errm errrm actually she doesn't, as evidenced in her other NL posts.

BABE!:
JayBee, that was what I told her at first, but apparently, she's love stoned. So what else can she do---- ?

Take Ifyalways's advice.
Ignore the fb or any other medium message and continue to enjoy the arrangement while it last. Nothing is ever meant to last forever so she better start to re-program her mind for rainy days.

BABE!:
Of course it would do--text, ping, e-mail, tweet (well maybe not).--sha anything will do!

The issue at hand calls for face-to-face dialogue if she wanna be the bigger person.
What's wrong with asking him just before you guys do the doodoo d next time y'all meet?

Tee_Jay:
maybe they are not as delectable as they look, or why else would they guy want no more??

What if SEX wasn't the most important thing to the guy afterall? His FB post remotely suggests it wasn't so there u go.

Amya:
A subtle withdrawal always does the trick. . .not something this abrupt. . .at least that's what i would do.

And you honestly believe a subtle withdrawal wouldn't bring about any hurt feelings?
Common gyal, it wasn't a one night stand. You guys were involved and no matter how subtle the break-up maybe, either of you would have still felt some sort of hurt.

Just look at the bright side, he saved you the pain of being labelled a heartbreaker.

Amya:
I started seeing this course-mate of mine 3 months ago. We aren't boyfriend and girlfriend in the real sense of the word, but we were quite close. We are both in our final year and we didn't really know each other much all these years but I've always noticed and admired him over the years. Somehow, through a twist of fate we became close and i started developing real feelings for him.This year, our intimacy went to a whole new level and we started having sex and regularly too. I knew we couldn't be in the stereotypical relationship, but we were lovers. Even though i wanted much more than that, but i was content with the way things were and i didn't want it to change. There wasn't any form of commitment from both parties. . .which was still okay. . . I should mention that I'm 3 years older than him even though i don't know if he knows it. This is actually my inhibition in getting too serious with him. . .i know it can never work, that there can never be a happily ever after end to that one, but i fell in love.

Yesterday, while we were in school, we were together as we always and there wasn't any hint that anything was amiss. . much later in the day, i called him to ask him if he wanted to spend the night at my place, but he didn't take the call. i sent him a text, he didn't reply. I assumed nothing.

Today, i was reading through status updates on face book, and i saw the one he posted last night ""months of meaningless sex , worthless relationships, finally I'm in love n I'm happy" i can't describe how hurt i felt.

How do you think he would have felt if the table was turned?
You guys had fun while it lasted and it appears the only grievance is that he moved on before you did so i suggest you just do the same.
Life shouldn't be this hard

Can we please keep the thread clean

@Dsense
Dude, it's either u post on topic or have your posts deleted. It's that simple. I've had to clean over 6 pages of this damn thread.
E-attacks are not allowed.

ragdollz:
lol, most of these new movies are just over-hyped and over-stuffed, with no real substance. The directors, producers and especially the actors, are getting jaded

GBAM

ragdollz:
Lol, tried to watch it last night[b], got bored[/b] when they re-ran the train scene for the third time. Maybe I'll go back and try and finish it .

Meanwhile, also 'tried' to watch The Tourist. Fell asleep during the evening ball scene. I mean like who else thinks that woman is a bad actor?? I mean, really. She can't act her way out of a cardboard box!!!

I actually slept at the cinema first time i tried watching it. Had to watch it again

You simply dont need a report botton, just check the gag's damn post and everything it would lead you to where the fights are
dont worry the Gag would soon find her way in here and start talking filth, then u would be forced to clear this same thread too, & yes you clear her thread but lemme tell u something bro, NO NIGERIAN would try this B.S that this BAG OF SALT has tried and get away with it scot free,

Its one thing to derail but another thing for someone who claims to be married to sit her rotten pu-c down all day and do thing but curse men or gather young ladies together and tell them tales by moon light on why they should hate men,
soon your suga would be here. watch out

Why should her police her around or provide a special service on her when she is not the only one on this forum?
You reside in a country that promotes/embraces freedom of speech so why frown if people have different views than yours?

Funny thing is you are probably one of the few i have spoken to outside of NL and i'm sure i have said the same thing to you. You can't force your views on other people. If you don't like people's views then outright ignore it.
I honestly don't know how you get the strength.

I don't even talk to Chima outside of Nairaland and she or anyone else are entitled their different views.
It's a free forum damnit

190:
Hold up till she comes and addresses the issue directly and gives you names
You need to go check the should a woman keep her surname thread, your wateva has gone Nuts there and throwing insults at everyone
for the past 10hours and when u should step in, you simply smile cos suga is thrown at you,

A day is coming on this damn forum when i would put everybody in place cos one damn foreigner cant just roll in and think this is Ghetto world ( GHETTOS are in america not NIGERIA ) a day is coming and it would happen soon-really soon
all these happening just cos a fooool went overseas and imported some damn BAG OF SALT who mistook nairaland for ghettoland going around doing nothing but looking for how to kiss the arse of little ladies twice young enough her age

I reserve my comments till then!

How am i suppose to know what's going on when the thread was neither reported via report to mod button nor flagged up here. I ain't no superman.
Do i or do i not remove her posts?
Just provide evidence of me being on a thread and leaving her offensive posts out until then don't accuse me of favouritism.

190:
Its quite pathetic Jenny

really pathetic and such a shame!!

Why play devils advocate when you are part of the problem?

jennykadry:
Lol, but it's the truth, Jaybee is bloody useless on this section. Bloody useless. The dude I have noticed have his favourites that can get away wit things, those are the ones actually controlling his balls. IICE is a better mod and this site was well taken care of when IICE and debosky were working together.

The dude does not even have the nerve to tell a cow to go produce milk let alone tell the eediotsss on this site to grow some brain cells.

I have never seen a man lick the arses of women like jaybee. I remember him once coming to the family section to tell some women arguing to stop it and respect themselves and in my heart of hearts I was like STFU have you finished controlling the retarddsssss on your section before coming on here to shyt out like a diarrhea affected backside of a guy.

I go through this section everyday and I see the way he actually caresses the backside of some people here and I am like WTFH?

Like I said he should free to delete my post, my point's been made.

It's okay to accuse but very wrong to do so without producing evidence. These so called favourite girls of mine will probably the first to complain about my heavy handedness so what gives?

jennykadry:
@Jaybee

I honestly think seun should take you off this mod job because you are honestly causing more harm than good on the section. Look at the amount of lunatics parading this forum yet you haven't even grown enough balls to actually act like a mod and get rid of some useless posts, instead all you do is chit chat like a woman and lick their bloody backsides. Sometimes I find it difficult to actually believe that you are a man. You are more of a woman than a man.

Feel free to delete my post.Your job here is worthless and that is the truth.

Criticism is good but surely it'd be fair if it was directed accordingly.
Why does jay bee alone has to be bad cos the romance section is in disarray?
Is jay bee the only person moderating the section?
If you've bothered looking more into the reasons why it's the way it is then you would have found out that most derailers and good for nothing threads generally spring up during the night /early morning which i have no control over. I do have a real life outside of Nairaland so I'm sure u wouldn't expect me to police it 24/7

^^^
who is d next catch, prince harry or . . . ?

Reanaa:
Jaybee, Pls wat did i do wrong? my thread disappeared

What thread? The Hey thread?
If yes then surely you should know it doesn't have anything to do with romance. Romance section is only for romance topics only

@Mzdark
Your real pic is on here now so we kool?
It's all for fun remember. Can i see your 32 (dentures) now?

I have contributed in the past but probably wouldn't finance the whole thing if i had the means to as i will be against her marrying him in the first place.
