GloryIsaac:
Copa America na just Afcon wey go university

I tire for una o beefing on the copa while una almighty euro dey boring as hell. first three games of the knock out phase shit on stick football so tey this match end with only one shot on target after 120 mins. Jeez. Make I no even remember the group stage. The whole tournament has been horrible. Give me the copa any day. Clearly it has been far better, more goals, more excitement and overall far better play and players. Hopefully sha the euro championship go improve. As a true football fan and not just a pathetic fan boy I pray this is the case.

Israellb:

SirJeffry:

IDNT GET WHY ARREST THE MOTHER FOR ABORTING THE CHILD .. WHAT SHOULD SHE HAD DONE...

KEEP THE BABY?..WHEN DID IT BECOME A CRIME TO ABORT IN NIGERIA .. THESE POLICE SEF... CRAZY HEEDIOTS ..

THE MOTHER AND THE DAUGHTER ARE THE VICTIMS HERE.. CANT BEGIN TO IMAGINE THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE..ALL THIS MUST BE HAVING ON THEM.

As others have rightly said abortion is illegal in our country, but this case is good reason why it shouldn't be.

Who state of origin epp? Only unrepentant bigots and tribalists will oppose the senator. The serious question is where do we want to be as a nation, as a country? If you understand the question properly you will understand that the answer begins with jettisoning this anachronistic state of origin nonsense and replacing it with the progressive place of birth or place of residence. Hopefully one day we will get there.

The screening in Sokoto for ASP was cool cos there was no much stress... Though we didn't start early but we were able to finished around 2:00pm...Some applicants who saw their names on the list but did not received invitation via email were asked to write their names on a sheet of paper and proceed with the screening.... they checked and measure height, chest, eye sight, foot and some few things....They verified credentials but much emphasis was put on indigene letter and primary certificate so as to ascertain the age of the applicants if it tally with date of birth...... They put Down some scores against applicants name..... Though they asked us to photocopy our credentials but they didnt collect any...even the guarantors form was not checked...

Do you have any idea what they did to those without primary school certificate or testimonial

blayde:
height,chest measurement,eye test and u'll b checked for flat foot,bow leg e.t.c plus ur credentials.Pls make sure u come along with ur primary skul cert(or testimonial if u dnt have one).
The screening is just about 5mins

That means una no write exam. Men I no get testimonial or fslc. B like say I go bone this thing

skydude:
And you think the exercise for ASP would run from 6th tru 25th abi,you try well well,asyou can see they got a schedule time for everything, don't advise people to sit back home

You obviously misunderstood me, and obviously missed where I said people who haven't gotten invites should keep checking the police website and their own email address. Nowhere did I say people should sit at home and do nothing. But I get it you must comment sha and quote content you barely grasp.

For those who have gotten SMS and have checked and seen there names on the short list but have not received any email message I think I can clarify a bit.

I believe we will get our email messages sometime later. From the SMS it says the screening will run from 6th to 25th of June. It is only commonsensical to assume we will definitely get our invites before the screening expires. (perhaps sometime next week. They are obviously sending the messages in batches) So no need to panic yet. Just keep looking out as instructed in their website psc.gov.ng and in our email addresses. Hopefully we will get the invite. But it is essential we remain calm and do not panic as per those planning to gate crash the screening centres. Such headless chicken approach will bear little fruit and prove damningly expensive. Thank you.

me. I just get text but no email. asp IMO.

Human being na better erun. Wetin make us pass goat or chicken way we dey kill chop. Real sad. RIP to the dead.

All of una way dey this thread I tire for una o. The woman has only been "alleged'' to have committed exam malpractice while in the university una dey here dey form as if say she steal 2 billion dollars. The school authorities have no record of her offence even meaning e no dey d school records. Meaning there is no case against her.

Anyone who wants to cast aspersions on the presidency's anti-corruption fight would need to do more than come up with baseless accusations against a honest, smart, illustrious member of society as far as we know.

Oya make una start to dey delete una comments. All the 'olodo advising olodo,' ' yeye dey smell' comment oya delete am. lubbish.

There is nothing simple about the VP's statements. That it has managed to confuse a good many of us with more than average level of intelligence means no reasonable person would label it that. And it's all on him. One shouldn't possess esoteric comprehension powers to understand the VP. There must be an easier way to say what he has said, and if there is not he shouldn't have said it all. Perhaps he doesn't properly understand it. If you can not explain it to a six year old-----says Einstein----then you do not truly understand it.

Anyway if I get the VP, and the good people merciful enough to lend flesh to his thoughts, then the fuel price hike owes more to forex unavailability at the official rates than to the insignificant fuel subsidy removal. Because of it fuel importers couldn't import fuel at all driving it up to the #
200 and #250 of not so long ago. The government to eliminate this, and to presumably better the people's lot, is basically saying to the importers get forex wherever you can, at whatever price------they speculate at 285 naira to a dollar------import the fuel, make your profit, but do not sell it above 145.

Fair enough. Great in fact. The only problem is what happens if the naira crashes further to the dollar----this is not inconceivable----maybe to 500 naira to a dollar, a price where the fuel importers and marketers can not afford to stay in business selling fuel at the 145 fixed rate, do they now close up shop and stop to sell fuel leading invariably to scarcity and the automatic increase in price? Or do the collude now with the government to announce another parody figure of a fixed rate. Whichever way we will be back exactly where we are now.

guru03:
The hausa/fulani is Nigeria greatest problem, fanaticism and tribalism ends there, I just hope they understand the damage they have done to this country.

Try again. It's bigoted statements and sentiments like yours that is Nigeria's greatest problem. Not the Hausa/Fulani.

Pidggin:
It's a witch hunt

Witch hunt or not if he is guilty in any way by all means do the needful: put the man in jail or whatever is due punishment. We need to get as many as possible politicians right where they belong paying for their sins-----witch hunt or not.

Men just saw it on bleacher football report. Got to say I am caught in two. Nigeria surely has gotten past hiring a foreign manager. Other than the fact that they are really expensive to hire we should by now have in line a long list of competent ex pros ready to take the national team job. Having said all of this Redknapp is a wily manager and vastly experienced too that if he is available, willing, and on the cheap no way in heavens should we miss out on him. Interesting I got to say.

DanceVille:
Some ladies have been warned to be careful with men especially when their proposal has been turned down as some are known to go on a vengeful mission and could be dangerous.
Some Guys can't take NO for an answer when they want a lady and when they get the NO, they become cruel beings on a revenge mission.
Sometimes, I do categorise those guys as "Immature" buh believe me, most of them are mature enough.
Here are Some Ways Guys Act When A Lady Turns Them Down..

1. Destroying Her Image In Public

He stalk her and does everything possible to spoil her image in public.
Some go on social media to write false things against the lady whom turns the them.

2. He Goes With Classic guys

Simply To Make Her Feel She's Lost A Loaded Man
He mightn't be in an excellent connection with those men that are classic, but he'll mingle with them and speak with them if they are his buddies when he sees the girl around. That is simply to make her feel he mixes with men that are classic.

3. He Acts Like She Does Not Exist

On an ordinary day, when he sees her he smiles and possibly walks towards her, but now he pretends he doesn't see her even when with his friends and they are pointing at her.

4. He Badmouth Her

To console themselves when a woman turns them down, what most guys do is bad mouth her and talk about stooping low to have asked her out in the very first place. You may hear something similar to "I blame myself to have stooped so low to have inquired such type of girl out in the first instance." This can be amusing.

5. He Gives Her Telephone Number To His buddy, Who's great at wooing women.


He gives her telephone number to his friend who's an experienced toaster, just to punish her

6. He Quits Asking Her Out

Not all men ask a woman out over and over again. When he asks her out, and she refuses, he'll stop ringing up her. But the funniest thing is the fact that his heart beats in anxiety each time his telephone rings, thinking its her.

7. Envy Overwhelms Him

When she turns him down, he behaves like "Life goes on". The funniest thing is the fact that, he gets bitter when he sees her with another guy richer and better than him, probably driving a car.

8. He Makes Buddy Along With Her Pals

I do not understand If I am the only one that's seen this. He makes friends with her close female friends when she turns him down. That is simply to make her jealous
.

9. He Hangs Around With Other Women
:
You'll see him walking with and speaking to a lovely woman whom he's no intimate relationship with when the lady he was wooing turns down his advances. You are going to watch him holding her hand; this is simply to make her feel he's got a high-class girl, better than her.

10. Discourage Other Guys From Wooing Her

Only because his advances continues to be turned down, he gives other guys reasons why they need to avoid her, telling them she is ill-mannered and she not worth the pursuit.


NB
If a lady turns you down doesn't mean you can't find a suitable Lady better than her..
Just move on with your lives and stop being immature..

op you haff cover every thing except suicide.

great664:
You just wrote a beautiful POEM with no meaning From ur write up I can say u are not a Nigerian or u are but don't reside in the country or you are a Politician Son. I stand to be corrected

Its true We don't want the strike or protest all we want is a REVOLUTION to wipe out the political Class.

A revolution? How romantic. Let's pretend nigerians can stay the tortuous course.

duality:
Just like a jonathanian said this during the occupy Nigeria strike also the long ASUU strike, the supporters of the opposition then, said the opposite. It's normal for the Buharideens, to want to play emotional or go lyrical when you mention "strike" search this forum and see dozens of threads on the need for revolution created then. The reasons for such was to activate emotions and propel hate for anan administration that was having sleepless nights and marathon meetings, trying to demystify the Nigeria problems and solve them even when surrounded by killers and criminals.

During the ASUU strike, where the president said it was political, The opposition attacked him again for saying so. I could remember the ASUU president saying, (this government is not for us, we are talking about rescuing our universities and the president is saying this strike is political? How can it be political! ) same with Lai Mohammed.

We know, that no buharideen will want to here strike! To them, it's attacking this government. It's not about making the government to do the right thing, by going the extra mile to alleviate the pains of Nigerians.

For me, if the purchasing power of Nigerians have reduced so drastically in just 1 year, salaries and pension have not been paid, the cost of petrol have tripled, same with commodity prices, the petrol stations have become so chaotic, workers have to go to work paying triple the transportation cost,Then return home, no light, yet there's an increase in electricity bill waiting to be paid and salaries have not increased....

Abeg, the call for strike by NLC is justified. No sentiments.

let's be clear here I am not against protesting or pressuring the government. Nigerians by virtue of freedom of speech and democracy can speak out, or voice out against the government-------we can have protest marches if need be at any time------what I am specifically against is a total nation wide strike action. It shuts down everything and is completely counterproductive. At this point in time we will loss far more as a nation from such an action than we will gain. Enough said.

demolinka:
A nationwide strike would be totally unnecessary. What would the strike achieve? Immediate disappearance of queues and constant power supply? Resignation of the thieving elites? The NLC should stop playing to the gallery, although it seems a whole lot of the masses don't understand what the cause of this challenges are, thanks to the FG's inability to adequately proffer an explanation.

Help me tell them. Thanks.

xreal:
I never read.
But, I see no reason to oppose it.

Read first then you comment. You might see reasons, who knows.

chriskosherbal:
The government should do everything within her power to resolve this lingerie crisis, once and for all.

Yes I completely agree with you. But we have to make sure we don't make their jobs far more difficult. Be careful what you wish for Nigeria.

Ah, beware the voice of the mob. As much as
we seek a marked improvement in the nation's
economic woes we must be careful not to speak
in unison for pointless action.

It is a far too common failing especially when
things have taken a dire turn, when people see
little to hope for, when disillusion, and
disenchantment take hold, for people----with their
backs firmly pitched against the wall--- to rally
around a cause, to forcefully push for action, any
action that offers a semblance of hope, that
promises respite from the severe whiplash they
endure, regardless of how pointless and
unrealistic the intended action is.

It seems that people care so much more about
the intended action, whatever it is, than about
whether it is action or solution that will work, or
that is useful, or that is not altogether pointless,
or that will not flat out worsen things.

People want action, they want to raise dust, they
want to appear to do something, they want a
false and many times misleading sense of
control, of power, of taking charge of their lives
that comes from action, any kind of action.
Perhaps they are right, and we should be entirely
understanding, but it is easy to forget that the
best thing to do sometimes, the best action to
take is to do nothing.

That is right: keeping still get things done
and raising dust doesn't always. ( Yes if you raise
dust it doesn't mean real work is being
done-----------for what is worth you might end up
worsening things.)

The nigerian economic outlook is dim, no doubt.
The NLC intends a strike. Reading through the
comments here it is obvious people
want a strike too. Now I am no APC
supporter, but it is evident to me that a strike
action--------if the nlc carrries on with it-----is
pointless and serves no purpose.

The history of industrial action in this country is plain for all to see, its relative failures and successes, no need to further elaborate on it, but is it frankly speaking what we need now? If we go this path, what does the NLC remotely hope to achieve with it?

I trust we want the best for our country, I trust
we want this government to succeed and steer
us clear to safe economic shores, we should
know that compounding its concerns and
distracting it with a pointless strike is no way to
go.

The NLC and Nigerians by extension should take
care to let the government work in peace without
the pointlessness of a strike action.
I say this as a nonpartisan and concerned
citizen: in this charged economic times we must
beware the voice of the mob.

Church is stale that's why. Nothing new there why bother? Waste of time, resources and useful mental energy. They get u worked up and afraid over imaginary things, then promise you imaginary rewards and paradise. Except there is no other way on Sundays I stay at home and breath free.

When do we awake from this collective nightmare? If those that should be awake with knowledge, basking in the light of wisdom, yet sleep contentedly in the darkness of ignorance, what then is our hope? From whence will salvation come? The messiah we seek whom shall it be, who will see him?

I am in no place to inform the learned barrister of the yawning idiocy of his views, how against good conscience and the rule of law his propositions run. He knows all about it: the whole of the Nigerian legal code I suppose he carries proudly aloft in his celebrated skull far more than I will ever do; the sanctity, purpose, and supremacy of the rule of law, and the accompanying necessity of due legal process, is not for a first time being presented before him. He knows all about it; it holds no novel challenge, yet he speaks from the depths of ignorance, as though he were among the ranks of the unlearned, misinformed, confused, uninitiated, perhaps for gain, perhaps to deliberately mislead.

Did careful thought precede his words, or were they thoughtlessly expelled from the vaults of the anxious gullet before due consideration had gestated forth? One can only hope this isn't a permanent ailment, otherwise the learned lawyer might lose what faint traces of credibility he has left, and join permanently the mass of sleeping, contented ignoramuses.

After patiently reading the comments here I got to say we have loads of morons in here. I give up on nairaland. The whole place stinks with ignoramuses.

You gotta be kidding me. Read people! Read! Not your religious texts, but progressive science commentaries. Your pieces of advice sound very much like fossilized remains from a dark age improbably-----I barely can believe it---- hanging around in a fast moving world.


NEWS FLASH NAIRALAND: The rest of the world has moved on, you should too.


Walks away from thread with a ' I can barely believe it' look.






Ahem: Just so you know masturbation has lots of benefits-----nothing inherently bad about it----as does fornication.

Got to chime in quickly. Siasia should have started with kelechi no doubt. Dude did more with his two shots in the first leg (60 mins only I think) than any of the other forward players did the whole two legs. Moses simon shouldn't have dropped to the bench---heck he didn't even come in at all---- Musa and the no 12 should definitely have started from the bench while iwobi could have been brought in earlier to replace kelechi or etebo with Mikel sitting really deep. Got to move on from this game. We got great talent coming through the rank, lest we forget, we should make best use of them. The coach should be left in peace, although he failed in his team selection this time he will learn. Looking forward to the world cup qualifiers starting sept, I think? I don't say this often but UP NIGERIA. Got to raise spirits people.
