Have any of the arabic/ajimi writing apologists taken time to Google search the image of the currency of Chad, Niger, Mali......Those counties have more muslims than any other religion.

All the foaming at the mouth would not be necessary if you did. It is tradition that times must change. If it is no longer relevant that the arabic
writing be on the Naira, why keep it there? Do we just do things because its the way we have always done them?

Read this:

A group of scientists placed 5 monkeys in a cage and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on the top.
Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water.
After a while, every time a monkey went up the ladder, the others beat up the one on the ladder.
After some time, no monkey dare[d] to go up the ladder regardless of the temptation.
Scientists then decided to substitute one of the monkeys. The 1st thing this new monkey did was to go up the ladder. Immediately the other monkeys beat him up.

After several beatings, the new member learned not to climb the ladder even though he never knew why.
A 2nd monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The 1st monkey participated on [sic] the beating for [sic] the 2nd monkey. A 3rd monkey was changed and the same was repeated (beating). The 4th was substituted and the beating was repeated and finally the 5th monkey was replaced.
What was left was a group of 5 monkeys that even though never received a cold shower, continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder.
If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they would beat up all those who attempted to go up the ladder ... I bet you the answer would be ... "I don't know — that's how things are done around here" Does it sound familiar?

Good Girl:

If you sleep around without protection, you WILL get HIV/AIDS. It has got nothing to do with BBA. Irresponsible sexx has always been the cause of the high HIV prevalence in Africa (especially sub-Saharan). BBA is just a scapegoat.

There is a correlation between exposure of young minds to violent games/movies and most definitely hooking up and banging a guy on TV is not helping spread the message of discipline that youngsters need. Most youngsters want to be like what they see on TV that they think is cool. Take a look at the BBA video's most searched... its the saeX scenes not the chess matches.

Is that all Africa has to offer?

Who's big brother was chasing them? Was Melvin chasing Beverly or something?

Seems the show has lost the plot. We copy the west and forget about cultural differences and the impact of some of these transplanted concepts. There is no African tribe that condones the kind of nonsense that goes on in bba house. What exactly do we take from these housemates? Promoting sexual promiscuity as a means of attaining popularity is sending the wrong signals.

Out of the 34 million HIV-positive people worldwide, 69 percent live in sub-Saharan Africa. There are roughly 23.8 million infected persons in all of Africa.

91 percent of the world’s HIV-positive children live in Africa.

More than one million adults and children die every year from HIV/AIDS in Africa alone. In 2011, 1.7 million people worldwide died from AIDS.

this show can be modified to show a lot more about what makes each country unique and yet the same. While showcasing the tallent of housemates at things order than sex sex sex!

Pukkah:

It seems like you're the one that needs to be educated on Money Laundering.

Imagine that someone that you gave a ride in your own car is found by policemen at a checkpoint to be in possession of stolen goods/mpney, would you be allowed to drive off?


Note: It's 'Money Laundering' and not 'Money Laundry'.

So in this hypothetical world, what would be the outcome since you said the car owner does not know about it (stolen goods/money)?

Do some of you posters understand whats at stake here?

1. Learn the meaning of money laundering (not laundry as many clowns here have posted)
2. There are three components to it, placement, layering (to legitimize) and Integration
3. The last two components are missing.
4. There is nothing in the money laundering prohibition act of 2011 that characterizes this as such. It has to do with large cash deposits.(http://www.businessdayonline.com/NG/index.php/law/legal-culture/29072-money-laundering-prohibition-act-2011)

If the priests did not help to "wash this N45m" there is no case to answer here.

This is why corrupt people go unpunished. This is lazy investigation and sensational reporting on the part to try this case in the media.The court of law is what matters not the court of public opinion.

I am not saying this guy did not steal o, its just that there is probably more than this laundering explanation.

The House of Representatives Committee on the Diaspora said on Tuesday that [size=8pt][size=8pt]about 77 per cent of members of associations of black doctors practising in the United States of America[/size][/size] were Nigerians.

Folks, this is just members of an association. Would have been good if some of you had taken your comprehension seriously.

Its good to ask them to come back but what is on ground to support them when they get here? Power failure, Boko Haram? Poorly motivated staff?

http://news.yahoo.com/gadhafi-leaned-arab-allies-stay-power-054547467.html

Gadhafi leaned on Arab allies to stay in power

CAIRO (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi's dictatorship likely wouldn't have survived for more than four decades without the sea of dictators all around, protecting one another and working together to silence dissident voices.
Gadhafi himself saw collapse was inevitable as Arab unity frayed, and he pointed to the fall of Iraq's Saddam Hussein as a sign of things to come. "Your turn is next," he warned fellow leaders in a scathing speech at the 2008 Arab League summit in Damascus.
Back in 2008, Gadhafi's listeners laughed. Now, besides Gadhafi, longtime autocrats have been swept from power by popular uprisings in Tunisia, where the Arab Spring began, and Egypt. Syria's Bashar Assad and Yemen's Ali Abdullah Saleh are also under fierce pressure.

Most of the anti-west sentiment is misguided. The Arab league called this guy out. What meaningful thing has the AU done? Zuma a rapist turned president is the person you expect to lead a cause? Gadaffi funds AU, they know with him out there will be no more freebies,

Wake up. Tides have changed. Only a fool will seek to defy the tide of inevitable change,

To all the Patience appologists: Keep celebrating mediocrity. By the way, you must all stop complaining about the state of the nation.

Im not sure Michelle Obama would be given the same respect if she got on stage and broke out in ebonics.

Mr lastpage and the Gaddafi appologists, talk to the families of the 1200 massacred prisoners. The scholarship is not gaddafi's money.
Are you saying without him, another leader would not have given the same scholarships or more? This is a very shallow argument.

This same guy you are so bent on keeping in power was not elected.

He has few friends now, you may want to go over and restore his confidence.

lastpage:

One funny Libyan living in the U.S, on Libyan SCHOLARSHIP also came out on TV to say he wants Ghadafi killed, called him names and all the "adjectives" they were supplied with!

I ask: Why dont you refund all the Scholarship Money Ghadafi gave you first? Then take the next flight to Tripoli!
Did he send you to America to study or to become a turn-coat?

Some people have no conscience! It now seem fashionable, to jump on the boat, at least like some of our own "so-called NADECO", its a passport to political appointments! Go ask my friend, the "Junk Publisher" who wants to be President

Mschew!

Let us not celebrate mediocrity. If this state of SR is satisfactory, then we deserve what we get from politicians and press alike when we settle for less.


SR has lost the trust of some of the followers. This has nothing to do with GEJ. fyi I dont even support the guy. All we ask for is fair and balanced reporting based on facts and not opinions.

If that is too much to ask, then they can be the mouth piece highest bidder and I will not fault them. Let them just say "we are partisan".

US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has dismissed as "preposterous" reports that it hired investigators to uncover evidence of corruption against a former Nigerian attorney general.

According to a US cable released by WikiLeaks, Pfizer wanted to "put pressure" on Michael Aondoakaa.

He was heading a lawsuit against the company over a 1996 drug trial during a meningitis epidemic.

The trial allegedly led to the deaths of 11 children - charges Pfizer denies.

Pfizer reached a $75m (£47m) settlement last year with Nigeria's Kano government over the case, which also allegedly left dozens of children disabled.

In a statement released by Pfizer in response to the leaked diplomatic cable published by the UK's Guardian newspaper, the pharmaceutical company said it "negotiated the settlement with the federal government of Nigeria in good faith and its conduct in reaching that agreement was proper".

The cable quoted conversations said to have taken place between US embassy staff and Pfizer's head in Nigeria, Enrico Liggeri.

It referred to a meeting between Mr Liggeri and US officials on 9 April 2009.

"According to Liggeri, Pfizer had hired investigators to uncover corruption links to Federal Attorney General Michael Aondoakaa to expose him and put pressure on him to drop the federal cases," the cable released by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks said.

"He said Pfizer's investigators were passing this information to local media."

Mr Aondoakaa was removed from the position of justice minister in February this year by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan.

Yes I do.


A friend of mine had a 3rd class degree and recently finished her MASTERS from one of the universities in the Uk, not forgetting she had a few years working experience (3 yrs) before applying!

Different universities have different policies; contact the universities you intend to study and see what they have to offer

Takia

Right.

A friend in the US had similar experience and got into a uni for MSc, and got a job with one of the best employers anywhere in the world.

@OP the information is at your finger tips ala Google. Work experience helps to make it a little easier to sell to them Uni's.

Dont let the haters tell you it cant be done. just dont go chasing Yale , Havard oxford et al, waste of money I think. paali na paali

Make e dey go. London/Spanish ashewo dey sweet am abi?

guddsid:

i posted this earlier on (6th page) just thought i would post it again to let you all know that before you begin throwing allegations around its best to take the time out to get the ACTUAL facts


I WOULD LIKE EVERY ONE ON THIS THREAD TO TAKE SOME TIME OUT TO READ THIS :



1 . Emeagwali won computing’s equivalent of the Nobel Prize


Okay so the gordon bell prize isn't an equivalent of the nobel prize ,  good , So how come some NLERS keep saying he claimed he won the "NOBEL PRIZE"   where as all he said was that he  won an award which to him is the "equivalent " of a nobel prize in the world of technology

2.Emeagwali is a “Father of the Internet”

What Phillip Emeagwali did by calling himself a father of the internet is what every Nigerian and indeed every one in the world would do ! lets not forget he didn't bestow this title on himself CNN did and have CNN "stripped" him off the "title " NO

Quote
Philip Emeagwali, a computer scientist and civil engineer, is one of the fathers of the Internet and a trailblazer in petroleum extraction
http://www.cnn.com/fyi/interactive/specials/bhm/story/black.innovators.html

Also CNN  didn't say he was THE father of the internet  they said he was A father of the internet . What that means is that he is not the originator but he contributed to the development of the internet 

3.Patents : republicreport says that he claims to have lots of patents OR patent application , However an interview which mary bellis of about.com
http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa111097.htm

had with emeagwali himsel[/b]f says that he has [b]submitted over 40 appilcation for patenting  , Now what this means is that he submitted his inventions for patenting , they might have not been patented YET and thats probably why we can't find his invention on the us patent website
in his words Inventors are reluctant to provide expanded details of their inventions until they receive full patent protection. The reason is that the Patent and Trademark Office can deny patents to inventors that publicly provided details of their invention.



4. Connection Machine was created by emeagwali : This is a lie and emeagwali never ever claimed to create the connection machine , here are his words from the interview. "The 65,536 processors were inside the Connection Machine. I accessed the Connection Machine over the Internet. The Connection Machines owned by the United States government laboratories were made available to me because they were considered impossible to program and there was no great demand for them at that time. In fact, the national laboratories that purchased them were embarrassed because their scientists could not program them and they were hardly being used. The labs were happy that I was brave enough to attempt to program it and the $5 million computer was left entirely to my use. I was their human guinea pig." this means the connection machine was already existing and had processors in it , He Programmed it , he didn't make it . read here

i really don't know why this is a case on NL , it really shouldn't be considering the fact that these guy never made any of the claims which some of you here say he made , I took the time out to get these facts but some people here would still stick to their "lies" and blind arguments , clearly there is a strong smear campaign going on against this guy and sadly Nigerians seem to be the strongest culprits  

Nice post but most of these guys think they are talking about Anus Adamu.

In the age where search is a click away, can anything be hidden? If some moronic NLers will swallow verbatim everything they read, let them wallow in ignorance jare.

Nigerians are so gullible . Someone posts unsubstantiated claims and you all have your pants in a knot?

None issue. The guy is a fraud and it took sahara reporters essay to find out? You must want to be in the Guinness book of world record ad the dumbest human alive.
