Hi Ovie. Great Job Bruv.
Please how much do you think an Audi Q5 2010 model (3.2 V6 Quattro) will cost. I haven't seen many in Lagos but really serious about getting one soon.

Omo!, i was a jambite when the incident occcurred. It was tragic! Africa was shot in the head (from the reports) and he was rushed to the health center first before being rushed to a hospital in town. He died on the way! The following morning was very interesting. Students (including our so called aje-butter babes) formed groups, mobilized vehicles and visited all motor parks/garages in search of the cultists. Come and see action!!! The "intelligence" unit of the Student Union has already gotten the names of the cultists and where they came from(i dont know how). One of them was caught and shishi maximum was dished out to him. Even the ladies jostled to join the "shishi team". During the search for the principal 'actor', a friend of mine was picked up cos he bore the first 2 names of the cultist.
And when they found the main guy nko News raced round the school like wild fire that they had caught him and his trial was to be conducted at Amphi theatre. The hall was filled (overfilled sef)to capacity. Then Lanre "Legacy" (student union president) walked in (that guy get too much action for body sef!!!). His first words were "GREATEST IFE!!!" The response from all was a resounding "GREAT!!!" Even our lecturers were there also shouting "Great" with us students.
I remember so many funny incidents (fetching water at the stream behind moz, trekking to gate through road 1 when school is on strike , going for angel of chemistry lectures at 5am, eating amala at old buka, walking into Moz to toast a babe with butterflies in my stomach etc).
Ife students always stand together whereever they meet in life and protect one another.
The school is filled with so many memories. OAU for life.

How about the following;

1. Fufu and pancake
2. Carrot and ice-block.
3. Agbalu$o and malta-guiness
4. Sardiné and ìndian Hemp.

...Just to name a few!

"A man who wakes up a success has not been asleep". He must have had a flair for drawing as a child and continued with his passion. further,his parents must have supported him whole-heartedly in his passion. We have all had such passions as children (painting, athletics, playing a classical instrument, dress making, tending garden, cookin etc). Sadly, its either our parents didn't support us or the reality of everyday struggle to survive/feed/pay bills/have a 'responsible job' robbed us of chances to focus on them. Kevin is a very happy man. He isn't working...he is enjoying his passion...and making a ton of money!

SMH. Is it now that rehabilitation work has commenced by LASG that FERMA realises the road needs attention? Let them (FERMA) kindly focus on other bad roads and stop this unecessary attention seeking.

This is annoying. He wanted to be a reckless hero. After discovering that the area was being avoided, he still bounced went there with only a metal detector device. After discovering the strange object , he still went ahead to fiddle with it In this day and age?
Further why didnt any of his colleagues prevent him from going there? Abi them no dey watch oyibo films? What an unnecessary waste

Ok it's enough, OAU was definitely a planet of its own, I loved it and hated it the same, Greatest Ife, Greatest of the Greatest of the Greatest of the Greatest, ALL other universities are Counterfiets, FIFTY GBOSAS!!!!!

I am an OAU Legacy child, so I can go on and on and on, I left b4 part 3 to school in yankee Sha, so kudos to everyone that completed the journey!

The night Africa was killed, we all ran into the bush behind angola to escape bullets. How we didnt get caught by any bush rabbit trap still eludes me.
I had a part one friend that had the same first 2 names as that Efosa guy. I made the error of shouting "Efosa" when SUG boys were scouting for the cultist. Omo, they picked up my friend and gave him fere-fere shishi before they realized he was the wrong guy.

Basics007:
Awo hall gave me the best moments of my life in that school.
Remembered the day i passed under block 1 and one fool poured water on me. I looked up and shouted,'tani oloriburuku to da omi le mi lori?'(who is the fool that poured water on me?). Instead of the silly thing to apologise he replied, 'tani were ti ko je ki omi mi dele yen?'(who is the mad man that didnt let my water reach the ground?). I was dumbfounded.
Also i remembered how girls are always filled with trepidation at entering Awo hall cos of the hecklin they'll receive. I remembered the day 5attractive ladies with big bosoms were passin thru the hall on their way to Sports hall. The whole of Awo came out shouting 'o mama cowbell! Cowbell! Cowbell!!!'
So much memories men!!

Guy, if u had made the error of attempting to rack that guy, u for chop shishi.
Also back if a girl made the mistake of entering Angola hall in the daytime, the next thing u'd hear is "Ejade oh, won ti de o" (come out, they are here). And then all the boys from the surrounding block would come and oogle the girl.

The usual suspects above me!

My first semester at Ife- April 1997

Entered Ife on April 28, 1997.   Was in H-4 Angola Hall, popularly referred to as 24-Mechanised Division (as a room meant for 9 students was occupied by 24 students/non students). Burkina was in the next room H-5 ( he was 'chucked' and later came back before becoming SUG President)

I learned to eat hot food in Angola as eating was communal. Once you lifted the food off the stove, everyone descended on it with various sizes of spoons; unless you could eat hot, you would starve!

Also, you had no bed-space to yourself, you slept wherever you found space when you came back to the room at night, even if it meant on top of other guys (nothing like 'homo' then)

I still remember folks who would leave the room in the evening ostensibly to read at Ajose, BOOC, Health Sciences,etc but would later be seen to be sleeping by other room mates , yet they would come back the next morning pretending to have studied overnight- Igi Iwe-Eso Odo.

After just a few weeks, we had Aluta in  (protesting school fees increase, which led to attacking Omole's turkey-loaded fridge in his house followed by MOPOL invasion) and were sent home. Then only the Jambites were allowed to resume first, pay the school fees, before other students were allowed back.

Also remember, we were asked to bring our parent to sign guarantees we would not be involved in trouble- there was a galore of 'rented parents' from Lagere or even older-looking students getting paid to be 'parents'

Now if you understand all I have been describing was just 1st semester of my first year, you can understand why some of us can never forget Ife. It was more than a school!

Omo, you brought rented parents from Lagere . Chei, I brought my old man from lagos. Why u no tell me na

Remember those days when Legacy (SUG President) would come on stage at Amphi during Aluta. and commandeer ALL students. He had a larger than life personality. The attempt on his life on July 10 was tragic.There was hardly a week without at least a few days aluta. Cant count how many times i trekked on road one after school was shut down.
The solidarity among ife students anywhere in the world is renowned. Ife guys always help each and protect each other.
Recall how Wale Omole was terrorized by the students.
Recall fetching water at the stream behind moz (aka motherless babies home) early in the morning. Omo, this was a special treat for us A|ngola hall (aka animal kingdom) boys as we got to see the ladies without make up and padded bras.
Recall a particular Amala joint at old buka
I was a cool guy but after staying in Awo, i was never the same. The ARO there is legendary.
I really miss that school and really look forward to a revisit.

Happy Birthday Greatest Ife

This is interesting. We  better grap our popcorn buckets and watch the libyan series; "the libyan people go soon sabi wats up Season 2"

Nice advert

Don't really mean to sound critical, but some ladies are just not fine enough to be in this pagent, ah ah; Osun, Ogun, Niger, Jigawa, Lagos (for crying out loud there are finer ladies in lag ) and Rivers. Though they may be smart, but they just don't cut it with external beauty.

170kmph in a Honda Accord 1996 model on Ife-ibadan expressway. Despite the fact that i felt i was flying, an S-class overtook me as if i was reversing!!!  I didn't find it funny. But seriously, it seems we have no idea the momentum a vehicle moves with at such speeds. Its frightening. The draft from a marcopollo luxurious bus can make you lose control. The 3rd mainland has turned to a drag strip late at night with guys going as fast as 220/240kmph. Such speeds aren't proper on public roads. It would be nice if we had private proving grounds for such feats. Though, if you give me an M5, i can't promise to be a good boy  

Guys, a lot of it is scripted, and choreographed! A LOT.
Then there are a few that cant be choreographed but the winner would have already been decided backstage (there was a case when Owen hart gave  his opponent REAL neck breaker and the guy passed out. Come and see panic from owen as he wasnt the one that was "arranged" to win. After a lot of noise and running/bouncing round the ring-to wake the guy up-, the opponent eventually woke up and won in a flimsy manner).
Then there is the ever so few that i cant term as fake.  The blood gushing from busted faces cant be simulated. (A clear case was a fight betw Undertaker and Mankind. this was hell in a cell. They both were fighting ON TOP OF THE STEEL CAGE- outside the ring and undertaker threw him from there on to the stands   . Mankind fell with his back on the commentator table. It was epic. The paramedics were called in as it was thought the fight was over! Has anyone seen that particular fight? it was so bloody.

Mavor:
the second chick from the left makes sense!!!

I agree. But the first on the left aint bad at all.

Jimbaz7:
What happens when the cash enters and there occurs network failure?
Just asking,

Your money will be refunded.

4peace:
another jamb question.
you go to bank with print out

Guys, in this case, when the back-end server is down and an account cannot be credited, the ATM will refund the money to the cardholder. This has been tested severally and certified. So you can perform your deposit with confidence.

  i hope dis machine has d ability to detect fake notes? If not, GT bank is on a longer tin!


Yes. it can detect and reject fake/counterfeit notes and mutilated notes. It has a copy of the ideal notes and uses this to compare and contrast. It is so strict that even legitimate notes not cut properly from CBN will be returned.

i really to feel for the Japanese. They are struggling to pull themselves from the colossal effects of the last quake only to be hit by another quake. These "natural disasters" are going to continue to take place in order to reshape the earth's landscape and will take place all over the world over time. Each event will be unique to the environment it occurs.  We call them natural disasters because man is caught in the middle of them and finds himself totally helpless and clueless. We need to be more intuitive so that we may see  and heed the signs of such impending disasters. Recall, that ALL ANIMALS/ wildlife mysterious migrated before the tsunami occurred in 2006 (except those locked in cages). I am willing to bet it was the case in Japan.

Wow! This probably marks the beginning of a new of business for Dbanj. Koko-mobile, maybe koko brand of perfumes, shoes, watches, eatries etc. the list goes on. He is diversifying and will -with proper planning- earn mutiple incomes.

PDP should be ashamed! How can we be sure that the remaining states were not also won through rigging. They are slowly but steadily losing states to the opposition.

Hello all,

i definately think July is the month to be born in, ! I'm July 28th. Any other 28ths around?

Dear Nairalanders,

I work with an ATM firm so i know the importance of protecting your pin and card from falling into wrong hands.  
The same situation happened to me. Money was fraudulently withdrawn from my account while i was sleeping in my house with my card in my wallet and i didnt get any alert and e-mail. GTB is fairly efficient with their alerts (txts and mails), so it was strange i didnt get one. I reported the issue the very next day and blocked the card. i was later told that my money was withdrawn from a UBA branch at Ijanikin. After writing the mandatory letter, i was told to wait a week or two. i later got a letter from  a charles Ndak with a generic reponse basically blaming me for the unlawful withdrawal. I know that a stripe card (card without the chip) is easy to clone but then how do they (the fraud guys) get your pin? is it generated using a pin generator? I went to Mr Ndak's office but was prevented from seeing him. But was given the help line and was assigned a person  to help me out. Everytime i called, i would be told that a request had been made to UBA for the images that were captured during the transaction so we can identify the person. I called everyday for almost 2 months and i was told that i should be patient, that they were retrieving the images. Only for them to tell me that the ATM's camera wasnt working at that time. imagine?
I have a few questions;

1. Why is it that i didnt get alert only for the fraudulent withdrawals whereas i had been getting for other   transactions.? Because i know that when a transaction is made on an ATM it 'hits' the banking application and after the transaction has ended an alert is automatically sent to your phone or email as requested. So how come it is[i] only[/i] for fraudulent transactions that people do not get alerts

2. Why did they have to wait almost two months to tell me that there were no images of the withdrawals because the camera wasnt working?

3. Most importantly, why is only GTB that this issue happens to? it is too frequent!!!

4. Can this issue be reported to CBN and how?

How about Robocop
