stewie100: isn't it funny that texas is the size of nigeria yet it takes just 2 hours on the freeway from Dallas to Houston equivalent to calabar to jos.below are some American interstate freeways around texas area.
although the ranch landscape is beautiful potential billion dollar a year revenue if managed properly by civilized minds but its in nigerian so its doomed in a few years .

Baba, America is 237 years independent, let's not go into the years before then. Much of that same America built by the sweat of slaves exported from Africa. Nigeria was at sometime somewhat better, but like every other political anomaly created in Africa by the white men, we are a work in progress. And one day, probably not in our generation Nigeria would get to her utopia.

Updated : I don't think you have visited the ranch. You cannot just relocate the villagers. Hell, its their land. Their ancestral land. You can't change the name, marketing death! Ask those that have been there, the ranch isn't technically in Obudu again anyway, yet the name sticks to it. Girrafe and Zebra ke? That cold will kill them all. Lemme see you try to make a disneyland out of a place enjoyed for its natural serenity and beauty. Infact your plain ignorant. #rubbish.

Ile-Ife:
If i get Tompolo, Asari, Dangote, Jonathan, Ibori, Sylva, Dickson kin money, Na this kin place i go build house, like IBB and Abdulsalam.

I go stay ontop dia, dey look poor people for ground.

Those people no dey sell land give people wey no from their place o.

Afam4eva: Nice looking scenery but those images are not new cos i've seen them in almost every picture of Obudu and i'm beginning to wonder how big Obudu Ranch is. I've also wondered why the trip from Calabar to Obudu is 8 hours because except the road to Obudu is very bad. I've looked at the map and can't see why a trip within the same state in Nigeria is that long. This is not Texas we're talking about.

The ranch, asin the geopraphical entity is very big, so big infact that some of the table land spills into Cameroon. It is the resort thatbis limited in size. Again, Cross River State is the biggest state in the south, and Obudu and Calabar are at opposite ends. When the roads were bad the worst time was seven hours, but now, it is at least 4-5 hours. On a perfect road it should be about 3.5 hours. That aside, about the pics, it is because we as Nigerians aren't very adventurous. If or instance one was to take the 6 hour hike around the waterfall in the Anape reserve we would have a lot more pictures. Hello someone.

OP, abeg don't scare people. Nice time you had owkay, but calabar is not 8 hours from Obudu, unless you used a keke-napep haba. Am so vexed sef. #rubbish.

Ethiopia dey play jollof soccer o! God help us

The list isn't anywhere near all that can happen. Ladies don't be scared however, cause these things happen rarely. And even if they do happen, with proper healthcare, all iz well

And among this so called new PDP, we have Rotimi Amaechi? Atiku Abubakar who has taken to twitter to decieve people? And loads of old politicians aptly described as "political fossils" by a columnist Nana Ocherome. Most of them have been in governance before and what did the do when there? Nothing. The same old corruption. At times I wish GEJ wasn't as fair and transparent as he was and be a lot more like the ruthless fox OBJ is. Then those people for no dey talk. Rubbish.!!

In order news, na this same people they sponsor ASUU strike, Boko Haram e.t.c. Abi na lie? They are forgetting that no matter how seemingly humble, a sitting President is still a sitting President, let this just ask Timipriye Silva. Amaechi won't know what hit him, joining northerners to fight his brother.

OP, wait,
1. The Farouk Lawan issue is a national assembly matter, Jonathan no get hand there.

2. Jonathan has no business in the NGF. And as a human, Amaechi has been openly fighting Jonathan. If you were Jonathan whose line would you tow?

3. People do not get the fuel subsidy removal thing till today. By removing fuel subsidy Jonathan did not "officially" increase the pump price of Petrol. Rather what happened was that the price became open to free market forces, therefore that was the handwork of the marketers who are of course the thieves here. How would you explain selling petrol today for #67 naira today nd tomorrow its #130 or higher from the same stock you had.

4. That said, for better management I would prefer removal of subsidy.

5. About the bombing issue, if Okah Henry claimed responsibility, he won't be pleading not guilty in court. And you don't expect the President to tell you everything, some Info has to be classified. However, to be fair to Jonathan, the capability of Boko boys to bomb has reduced, that's why they have taken to killing poor innocent citizens in abnormal places like schools.

6. OP, I know I probably won't change your mind, But if there is any of yoour arguments I haven't countered. Feel free to hit me up.

For those of us who play FIFA , you'll probably know this
""Yes, Yes, Oh my word Yes, They've made the breakthrough Nigeria is through to thw world cup

walcolm: you'll be short changing yourself if you dont get a BB10 because of opera bookmarks...see my earlier post on how to get your bookmarks

Thanks a "two mil". Still sad about the data compression though. Plus all this ish of BB10 and BIS wahala.

Was really thinking of upgrading to a Z10, until of course I discovered there is no Opera Mini on BB10. What a bummer. Walcolm or any other person please are there any verified sideloads that work? I can't loose all my bookmarks and content saved on Opera Mini. Infact why dem opera guys dey kill BB biznes na?? Mtschew.
NB: I know the native browser is good and all that but Opera Mini offers sweet heavenly data compression.
Thanks for the help guys.

dasparrow: Yes, being married has a lot of perks if you are an African man living in a patriarch driven African society but there are hardly any perks for the African woman living in Africa who unbeknownst to her just became a glorified housemaid and baby breeding machine the day she said 'I do.' Let's be sincere!

Such a foolish post that I don't even know how to start saying your are foolish. Sha no beef but it is your mum that is a glorified housemaid and baby breeding machine not the rest of us out here. That is if of course your mum ever married your dad.

Seun, yes sir, though am not answering your call. All protocol duly observed. I want to say your nairaland concept and all is nice and so well done.

However, the word censoring on the site is archaic and at most times very unhelpful. It is your site and yes, you can do a you please, but when an issue is raised by so many people, at least u should put it to thought. Many have asked you to totally remove the word censoring. As much as I would prefer that, it seems that it is not happening any time soon. Therefore I bring a different suggestion, borne out of frustration, genuine one at that.

Many educational and useful topics and links cannot be put on the site. Medical articles would loose their value when the words intended as they are are befuddled. For example VesicoVaginäl Fistula would become Vesico Vaginal Fistula. This would be meaningless to someone new to nairaland. As a medical student, I have cone to view words like Vägina, Pënis, Brëast and the likes to be just normal words and parts of the body like the hand, legs e.t.c. Words considerd offensive like Bïtch, püssy e.t.c can be censored if you please.

Just so you know. This is not a sexuality section campaign, though I wonder why we should deceive ourselves at this age.

Therefore I suggest that the word censor be deactivated in some sections where they impair d original content and that links should not be tampered with.

With Love
JJagz

P.S : Mods abeg no vex, Seun take it easy. This is just a suggestion. Please move the topic to a relevant section if I opened it wrongly. Thanks

NLNG is 100k and shell is 75k, so you need to tell me how you came up with such inflated figures. BTW you are not supposed to be in more than one scholarship. What's your full name?

lomaxx: I've been reading some posts about the fear of physics, mathematics etc amongst MBBS aspirants and MBBS students in situ. There's nothing to be afraid of. Una own better sef.
I was an Arts student in FGC, Ikom. Finished as an Arts student; wrote O'levels in Arts only. Then left secondary school and decided to study Medicine.
I had never done physics before. Never did chemistry. The only science subject I did was biology. But I still wanted Medicine.
Between May/June 2007 and Nov/Dec 2008, I read physics and chemistry on my own, attended a few lessons, sat for WASSCE Nov/Dec that year in the science and arts subjects, smashed them, went on to JAMB & post-UTME smashed them too.
It was in the university during my pre-medical year that the paranoia of physics and chemistry chased me considering where I came from. It was even worse. University physics & chemistry was a lil tougher. But I had all As in all- first and second semester.
And this is where the relevance of this post comes in. You had done the science subjects (physics, maths, etc) in your secondary school. So you have a strong foundation. Or at least, you have a foundation. You have an advantage. Fear not; for the physics you see today, you shall see them no more

Matata so u be arts student before Nd no ask as ah sabi u sha.... nd I stand to confirm dah result.....d guy is tight.
