Leboska: Why?

Come back home are THREE words.

Leboska: One word come back home.

I wish I could modify your post.

Ask me why.

One thing we all love as Nigerians: Super Eagles!

Some of us won't admit it, though.

You wouldn't willingly walk into a burning building, yet you will keep going to a country where they hate your guts!!!

WHAT? ARE YOU NUTS?!!!

Caretaker Chairman sef!

Imagine a different setting, similar scene.

American soldiers at an Iraqi checkpoint.

Possibility of car-mounted IEDs.

A lot of their buddies already dead from similar incidents.

Soldiers: "Stop! Stop or we'll use lethal force! final warning! POP ! POP! POP!"

End of story.

supaeagles:
RIP ..... Condolence to his family too.

Needless to say, that was an ill advised move by the unfortunate electrician. If he had the misfortune of working on an 11kV line then 11,000 volts would have surely done the damage. Even if it was a regular 240 volt 3 phase line, that would have been 415 volts across 2 lines

In addition to what you. said, PHCN lines men NEVER work on a line without a scheduled outage (switching off of power) on that line. They do connive with Control Room operators to carry out unreported repair jobs and line their pockets with cash doled out by desperate citizens, though. In any case, a genuine PHCN official MUST be informed of re-energization on the line for safety.

This makes me believe this guy was a quack. Sorry, I apologise to all sympathisers, but either he was a total ignoramus and died for it, or a desperado who couldn't care less for his life than the few measly Naira he would have gotten for this job.

Well... he's dead now.

Wish others of his ilk would learn.

Jeezuzpick: Hey, no hard feelings. Sorry I was a bit piqued at being called Ignorant...

Online is the worst place to wash ur dirty linen, though....

I guess we should thank God for NL monikers!

I will do some research on Fadipe and his work.

Promise.

As promised.

So far I've seen a post by bjf (Basil Jide Fadipe) on a forum, doc2doc.

He alluded to a possibility of genetic inbreeding as being responsible for the high prevalence of Hypertension on Dominican Island where he works.

I see his reasoning as being correct in that certain gened may exhibit dominance over the generations, especially when there is little or no ingress of fresh genes into the community. The traits that predisposes occurrence hypertension hence may tend to occur with greater frequency and as a result, hypertension becomes prevalent.

By way of a disclaimer, he stated that poor diagnostic practices and lifestyles of the people may taint observations even further.

My findings so far.

[quote author=Texas.Cowgirl]Your first mistake was listening to a boy with an inferiority claiming a Yoruba man is Ibo. You could have done tha little research on your own.

Since you're trying to avoid doing an educated research on Fadipe's genetic researches, then all I can do is apologize to you and to myself.
No, it hasn't changed since then......just don't repeat your sentiments offline.[/quote]Hey, no hard feelings. Sorry I was a bit piqued at being called Ignorant...

Pipsland78: I have just two things to say: 1) You confessed to knowing so little of genetics and, 2) You are an engineer. What does an engineer know about genetic research.

Oh, yeah. The man of the minute!!!

I take it you're a genetic engineer, now?

Care to post some credible info about "Igbo dominant gene"?

Y'know, clickable source links, all the works?

Educate me!!!

No insults yet from me. I except equal civility in this debate.

[quote author=Texas.Cowgirl]Smh...... No, it proved ibo parents will always produce Chinese Aba-made babies.

Why not do a Lil research an read up on Fadipe's researches?[/quote]Hey, lady. A little clarity may save us some kilobytes.

Did you read that guy typing in green's posts?

He said Dr. Fadipe is an Igbo man because his mother is Igbo. Then he went on a rambling rant about Igbo gene being the "superior gene".

I was reacting to him hence the bolded part of my post.

Now. back to you. Has the theory of genetics changed since 1993? I say it hasn't changed. You say I'm Ignorant. PROVE IT or apologise!

SMH....

[quote author=Texas.Cowgirl]Alluding to what you said, you know that science advances quite frequently, right?

Biology from 20 years ago ain't biology from now.

The reason why Nigerian speak so ignorantly is because they fail to intellectually update themselves.

No field remains the same for 20 years[/quote]Tell me something I don't know.

Is there any new theory of Genetics?
Has Gregor Mendel been proven wrong?

Is there a new theory that says Igbo parents (Mother or Father) always produce Igbo children?

If you think I'm Ignorant, please PROVE IT or apologise.

Respond.

From the little I know of genetics, I've never heard of "superior gene". Dominant gene, maybe, and the dominant gene controls only physical features (eye colour, light or dark skin, etc.). It doesn't even determine the progeny's sex, to talk much less of tribe!

I know at least 3 Igbo-Caucasians, John Onyuike, his brother Francis and Tony Isiguzo. ALL OF THEM ARE WHITE!!!

I'm sure some peeps know these guys (great guys, all three), and know I'm not lying. They might even be on NL.

I really tire for Mr. Pips~whatever. He's..... I don't even know what to say, except maybe ask him the level of his education and what he studied!

Even then, I'm an Engineer, and I still remember O-Level Biology from 20 years ago! Haba!!!

Pipsland78: His mother is Igbo, go do your research on him before posting here.

And which of his parents was mentioned in the post? His FATHER.

Abi Justin Fadipe na Ibo too?

Pipsland78: Yet another Igbo brother doing us proud abroad. Hope those "ofenmanu" and "molas" are learning something here.

Weldone nwannem nwoke!

And when did "Fadipe" become an Igbo name?

Perhaps you mean "Igbo" (weed)?

igbsam: A Girl Under Age 18 Cannot Be Issued A Voters Card Or Drivers License, Yet She Can Be Given Out As A Bride..........Crazy bunch of fools

She can't vote....But can have her orifices poked and invaded by a gorrilla she couldn't vote for! !!!

Signed!

greatgod2012: ori e o ni daru......amin.


If he actually saw those problems, why couldnt he helped out than marrying her when shes helpless and using the parent's poverty status as opportunity

The thing dey pain me, no be small.

My Broda, ur head dey dere!

If na marriage be answer to all dese problem dem, hin for marry all girls wey dey for Gusau na!

Abi na wetin hun dey gun for be dat, sef?

Maxymilliano: Got this from the Facebook Page of Femi Fani-Kayode

Lol @ "slap the jinn out of your head".

Reason or argue with one of "them" at your own risk!

ebenezer4o2: Even before I finish reading d whole story,I knew things like food and shelter would be his major challenges,hence his refusal 2 go home.Why are such people not rehabilitated immediately after release?

You are only partially correct.

There is also NO HOME TO GO TO.

There!

slimyem: Poor soul. Seven years of his life wasted just like that. His plight should be understandable. He needs proper rehabilitation else he'll be back to prison in a little while from now.

Possibly after doing some very real and irreparable damage to some harmless innocents!

Maidoki14: Dats an interesting news.wish dis will spread all over d state.kudus to d youth!

Careful what you wish for...you just might get it, y'know?

Your, uhh "youths" might torch your car or your wife's shop, maybe 'cause the leaders they're beefing did not allow Gov's "largesse" to percolate to the grassroots!

BTW, didn't I read somewhere that TB Joshua predicted sth like this?

idnoble135: that statement is too broad. Definitely, there would be keepers who have saved shots that were better than Forlan's.

Especially true when we remember what Vince did to Messi one-on-one in SA.

However, is one error enough to drop him? I kinda love the guy. Really humble in the light of all he's done with Super Eagles. Is something else in play here!

Zither: don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. If you should blame anybody then you should blame death.

I normally don't let my imagination run off with me, buh what if the said man had passed out at MM2?

The ambulance peeps may have had to rearrange his rigor mortis stiffened body before placing him on a stretcher!

It was just time to go, I think. Bro, you're quite right. Imagine having a heart attack and help doesn't get there on time! Two minutes lost is like years as the brain is starved of oxygen...

I had to read the post again for anger to ebb...Security system! same thing that would've (or may have) stopped our brother from being blown to bits by a suicide bomber, ended up doing him in!

So sad...

However, I'm not excusing the glitch, but any Nigerian blaming the system for this only need check where the other 4 fingers're pointing...

pappilo: To be honest a €600,000 house cant be a mansion unless it is in some remote part of nowhere city in France. You will struggle to find a decent 2 bedroom flat for €600,000 in decent parts of Paris. Bear in mind a 5 bedroom house in Lekki 1 is roughly the same price as this so called mansion (N125 million)

Well, like, duh?

Don't we know?

And is N125 emmm exactly chicken feed?

[quote author=Yoshi-Master]In this instance though, Sincere kinda made a good point.

Projects like these should be showcased with details of potential generating capacity at least.

Not knocking the project though, but we shouldn't just criticize blindly.[/quote]Why are we even asking about MW produced?

Are we saying if the MW produced is less than, say, 500MW, then the said waste is better left on the streets?

What ever happened to "killing two birds with the same stone"?

This is the way to go.

It is the future of humanity at large, and not Lagos or even Nigeria alone.

There is a lot of sense in making something useful outta what you otherwise woulda thown out, anyway.

I wish someone in power would take the initiative and get involved in the capture, purification and bottling of Biogas, for running vehicles and small, energy efficient machines designed for small scale production of, heck, semi-fininished good, even.

Something, anything to staunch the bleeding away of vast resources in the name of "waste" (a lot we call waste here ain't really waste!).

In all, this move is a step in the right direction.

Now, to intensify, if only!

ilugunboy: Dunderhead and with all the stolen wealth by her parents..she is not educated enough to realise that Nigeria is a fatherland

Who dared cane her for singing the National Anthem wrong?

I guess she may be excused on that point?

dolphinife: If we look at the pix very well, the first person on the queue is the foreign affairs minister. If you want to blame anybody, we have to blame the minister of foreign affairs for not properly schooling the Jonathans on the gritty-nitty of foreign trips and etiquttes.

If this incident happened in either US or UK, the foreign affiars minister would have either resign or be fired for failing to impact the nitty-gritty of diplomatic ettiquettes to d presidency.

Be that as it may, I will never blame the first lady, rather, I will blame that ugly shoeless president. For any aeroplane in the world, d entrace cannot accommodate two persons at d same time. The attached staircase cannot accommodate two persons at the same time. Immediately the door was opened by the cabin crew, the president is suppose to come outside first and wave to the people on ground. If that happened, how come PEG shrug aside GEJ to one side and take the bold step of coming out first. This diplomatic embarrassment actually happened early last year and I hope such will never happen again.

But wait a minute, what's wrong with that PEG sef?

Abeg, Dolph, make I hia word dere!

Dis woman resemble who go listen to "nitty giriri" of protocol from one minister?

She resemble pessin wey learn for skool without cane?

yuzedo: Ermm, I thought this fat madam did tummy tuck the other day. Why is her belle rotund like maracana stadium?!

Bwaaaaahahahahahaha!!

200,000 Seater!!

simpleseyi: Please respond to this and stop day dreaming: https://www.nairaland.com/1362224/north-must-produce-president-2015

THE NORTH DETERMINES WHO RULES NIGERIA BECAUSE OF ITS NUMERICAL STRENGHT. Take it or leave it. I prefer you leave it because it's hot.

You mean the north voted in OBJ then GEJ after Yar'adua kpeme for Saudi.

How selfless!!!

Buh, y dem come dey kill Kopas after election, come mount Boko Haram join?

Mmmmmmmm?

ba7man: Hmmmmm.....Stuck between the Devil and the deep blue sea.

More like.... Stuck between the Devil and.... Hey! There's more than one Devil?!!
