@op You are wasting your life and his, giving pvssy to a broke student and pretend he has a future is a fallacy. You dont sound like he can even afford contraceptives, you really wanna get pregnant before you know that a student is yet to start life?
you talk about being broke at the same time you talk about a future meanwhile, now in school, you are distracting him with pojo, where is the future gonna come from?
Life is in stages, a girlfriend in sex mode is a distraction to a student and in that mode, there is no clear future, you wont know this till you guys graduate.
If you really care about a modest life, think about graduates who have started a career on a small scale, they may not have a big car or a big flat but at least they have started a career hoping that a student will marry you is a misconception, by the time I came for my first interview, most of my class girls already have kids.
life doesn't run on sentiments and emotions, it runs on strategic interest, once achieved, love can follow. sorry to tell you that you don't have a boyfriend but a pet. Ask your bf if he can date a secondary school leaver, if he says NO because of course his friends will laugh at him, then you now understand why he strategically defined his interest around you, why don't you do the same. |

Bloated? Your bald boyfriend can TOTALLY relate. He lost all his hair!" – just typifies the archetypical sugar-daddy in the Nigerian context, especially of the embezzling political, or thieving business-mogul demographic.
Or, just use older-lover in place of boyfriend – if he's technically still youthful. I do agree though... "They’re Better In Bed, Seriously".

Business › Venezuela Ordered To Pay Exxon $1.6 Billion For Nationalization by jpphilips(op): 2:20pm On Oct 10, 2014 |
By Alexandra Ulmer and Corina Pons
CARACAS (Reuters) - A World Bank arbitration tribunal on Thursday ordered Venezuela to pay Exxon Mobil Corp around $1.6 billion to compensate for the 2007 nationalization of its oil projects in the country.
The amount is far below the up to $10 billion that Exxon had originally sought and the $6 billion at which the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) capped the case, excluding a tax claim.
"The Tribunal has found that the expropriation was conducted in accordance with due process, that it was not carried out contrary to undertakings given to the claimants in this respect and that the claimant have not established that the offers made by Venezuela were incompatible with the 'just' compensation requirement of (...) the Bilateral Investment Treaty," ICSID said on its website.
In a brief statement, Exxon said the decision vindicated its view that Venezuela failed to compensate it fairly at the time.
Several analysts said Venezuela's socialist government had dodged a bullet with the award, although it was also not clear whether it would pay up or seek to annul the award. Venezuela withdrew from the ICSID in 2012.
"The government is going to analyze whether to seek annulment or not," said Diego Moya-Ocampos of IHS risk consultancy.
"Given Exxon originally wanted $10 billion, this will likely be interpreted as a victory for the government. The government could offer Exxon the PDVSA refinery in Chalmette, Louisiana, which they operate together, as a form of payment."
Experts think it is unlikely Venezuela would win an attempt to nullify the award, though such a move could buy the OPEC member some time and potentially allow for parallel negotiations over a possible settlement.
Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA [PDVSA.UL] declined to comment and no one at the oil ministry was immediately available.
A separate decision by another international arbitration body, the Paris-based International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) had ordered PDVSA to pay Exxon $908 million.
The ICSID award suggests avoidance of double payments, but does not directly mention the ICC award. Banking accounts PDVSA had used to pay previous awards had been frozen.
DELICATE FINANCES
The decision comes at a delicate time for cash-strapped Venezuela, already struggling with an economy widely seen as in recession, rampant inflation and looming bond payments.
"As a practical matter, I highly doubt Venezuela will comply with the ruling and pay the $1.6 billion," said Pavel Molchanov, an oil company analyst with Raymond James.
"While the current government of (Nicolas) Maduro is less antagonistic toward foreign investment than (late President Hugo) Chavez had been, the fact of the matter is it is still antagonistic. I would not be holding my breath for Exxon to receive a $1.6 billion check from the Venezuelan treasury."
The ICSID decision relates to the expropriation of the Cerro Negro project, the La Ceiba project, as well as "production and export curtailments" imposed on the Cerro Negro development in 2006 and 2007.
Each party will cover its own costs and counsel fees, ICSID said. The tribunal said it had no jurisdiction over "the claim arising out of the increase in the income tax rate for the participants to the Cerro Negro Project."
"The most important part of the decision is that the arbitration tribunal rejects the alleged "illegal" nature of the expropriation," said Carlos Bellorin, petroleum analyst at IHS, meaning the compensation only reflects the value of the assets, not alleged damages and prejudice caused.
"However, it is presumed the calculation method was not the one Venezuela suggested," he said. Exxon's projects were taken over during the left-wing administration of Chavez, who led a wave of nationalizations that included the oil, electricity and steel industries.
Many of the companies deemed the takeovers unlawful expropriations, and Venezuela is facing more than 20 cases arbitration cases over the nationalizations.
ConocoPhillips brought the biggest case to date against Venezuela in 2007, seeking $30 billion in compensation.
A partial decision in 2013 determined Venezuela failed to act in good faith or properly compensate ConocoPhillips for three big oil assets. A final decision is expected soon.
Proponents of the nationalizations argue commodities-rich Venezuela should have the right to administer its own resources to try to improve living standards.

Sometimes the only advantage is that you know who is calling you even when the contact is not on your contact list
disadvantage, it only work with 3G or something higher That is not exactly how it works, if you read the terms and conditions of using true caller, or while installing, it will ask you to authenticate app permissions, on the permission list is your phone book, so all the number in your phone book will automatically be uploaded to the true caller's data base same for everyone else that have it. A number that has never been saved in any phone book with true caller app will never be found. |

If this things you wrote convinced you otherwise of Jonathan's "cluelessness" then you must be below average in your ability to analyze events holistically.
You conveniently forgot that the man you are Eulogizing by virtue of luck has become the number one citizen of the most populous black nation in the world, the 7th most populous nation in the world, the sixth oil producer in the world, the highest oil producer in Africa with Africa's biggest GDP, with propensity to rival some European countries, home of four African's richest men.
It is very unfortunate that poor education and lack of enlightenment have left you with a microscopic mindset to actually think that a president who has lost focus on governance, who seems not to realize that the potentials of the nation is enough to put it on the global map as a major player, I have no doubt that your mindset is shared by the team of nincompoops on the advisory payroll of Mr president.
To your pea sized hollow brain, sleeping with expired clueless politicians like Bamangar tukur, is a tactical political maneuver, should I blame you? of course not, when tiny countries like Ukraine on the world stage have almost secured a position in NATO, the most powerful alliance in the world, an alliance whose economic sanctions alone has isolated a Russian super power, led by an EX KGB supremo, never mention the over $19b economic perk that came with the alliance.
Look around you, with all the institutions in Nigeria all comatose, with all the apparatchik Jonathan wields, he needed foreign assistance for a rescue operation, is that not shameful enough, for someone you think is smart? liken his imbroglio with his underfunded Cameroonian, Chadian and Kenyan counterparts who have executed three successful high profile rescue operations from the last count. you lack the ability to see beyond the mustache of your daily bread.
Let me be clear, the whole, Amaechi, Bamangar, Governor's forum, Timi Alaibe are mere PETTY POLITICS, politics with zero significance on the lives of the Nigerian people, Politics that is best appreciated by nonentities like this OP whose enlightenment is at its ebb, Politics meant for countries with out a clear direction of what its existence is, Politics of charlatans complemented by the buffoonery of disgruntled citizenship and follower ship.
Mr OP, Your mindset is too petty to nurse as an individual, what is president Jonathan's foreign policy? ordinary south Africa, Kenya and even Ghana can sanction Nigeria/Nigerians at will and you think Jonathan is smart? A president who begged for Ebola Vaccine, begged for Intelligence to combat boko haram, begged for arms, what has a man who have perpetually remained a beggar in the midst of plenty got to do with intelligence? It took the US less than a month to rally support from allies and foes (Arab league) to clench the nod of over 11 countries to dismantle ISIS, now that is the real politics, politics where the interest of your nation is held beyond umbrage, politics where you have the ability to convert an enemy to an ally for a pecuniary interest, politics of men of Valour,appreciated by citizens who bears no shame to hold their shoulders high and echo the thunderous "HOME OF THE BRAVE".
You are telling us nonsense about petty thieves like Timi alaibe and Amaechi, who are they on the world stage where the fate of nations are decided? an ordinary senator Mc cain of the United States addresses your president as "some guy" because he has no name, he is a nobody on the international stage, no power, no influence. If he is not begging for foreign investment, he is begging for foreign assistance and you have the temerity to say he is smart? what is smart about begging?
I regret sharing a passport with people like this OP whose IQ rivals that of a mice, infected with Ebola. |

secondly, it is not news that US is conducting recon drone flights from chad, and Nigeria has also inducted it's own local manufactured drones (gulma) in the North east. so the drones spotted may be of either the Nigerian airforce launched from Mubi North(government controlled territory) or somewhere in Borno since the range of the Gulma is between 500-600km.
thirdly, French commandos in Nigerian Territory is complete hogwash. this mofo comes on his blog to mix obvious incidence with hogwash and claims to be from sources in terror camps.
wetin you want make terrorists tell you? sey the army dey rape dem front and back?
it's either this fulan guy is playing into the hands of boko haram by using him to advance their propaganda warfare against Nigeria or he is infact a boko haram media soldier hiding under the guise of a fake analyst.
Notice how he lashes out at the media even after confirmation from residents who saw troop movements in these towns.
anyome who believes this hogwash needs to get his head examined.

Politics › Re: Why Africans Hate Nigerians So Much by jpphilips(m): 5:05pm On Oct 08, 2014 |
luigiajah: I've come across many sites on the Internet where the image of Nigeria is tarnished due to the hate most Africans have for Nigerians. After making some research I got a number of reasons.
1.Nigerians Are Termed as Aggressive
They term Nigerian's as aggressive for a reason one cannot fathom and I certainly don't see any point why Nigerians be termed as aggressive. Probably Because It seems that Nigerians are practically taking over every field despite the challenges they face. In the world of ICT, There is Phillip Emeagwali who invented the Super Computer which is one of the fastest computers on earth, in the world of acting there's Omotola Jalade Ekeihinde, Genevieve Nnaji, Stephanie Okereke. Just to mention a few. These ladies have made their marks in the world of acting and are well known around the world, When it comes to literature, Late Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie, These Award Winning Authors Have Been Outstanding in every way. In the educational field there is Professor Wole Soyinka, Who has won many awards and recognized worldwide, In the world of Pageantry, Beauty Queen Agbani Darego Took The World by storm in 2001, When it comes to telecommunications, there's Mr Mike Adenuga, The CEO of Globacom, One Of The Largest Indeginious Telecommunication Networks in Africa, In The World Of Finance, Mrs Ngozi Okonjo Iweala (Current Minister Of Finance & Former Managing Director of the World Bank), Music: Asa, Fela Kuti, Psquare, 2face, Religious Leaders:Reverend Adeboye (G.O Redeemed Christian Church Of God) Comedy :Basketmouth, A.Y, Bovi, Sports;Kanu Nwankwo, Jay Jay Okocha The Richest Man In Africa Alhaji Aliko Dangote is unarguably a Nigerian,The largest African Online Forum Nairaland is a Nigerian Site, Nig-Com Sat-1 The Nigerian Satellite was also the first African Satellite to be launched into space,. This hatred of Nigerians because of this is appalling.
2.Nigerians Are Proud And Show Off A Lot
This is a reason that was posted by a South African on one site . Nigerians are portrayed as proud and arrogant. Nigerians are proud and certainly not arrogant or insolent. Why shouldn't Nigerians Show off and be proud of Nigeria as every patriotic citizen should . A country with a vast cultural heritage and languages, the largest Black nation, Nigerians have enough reason to be proud and show off. Even though there are political and socioeconomic problems in the country, Nigerians still try to be the peace loving people who they are unlike some countries where violence is the order of the day
3.Nigerians Are Scammers and Fraudsters.
Many people who have been scammed online practically associate any scammer to Nigeria. The real case that most Africans fail to recognize is that many non nigerians hide under the cover of being nigerians to scam their fellow countrymen , I am not trying to say that there are no scammers in Nigeria, if a person steals from somebody, should his country be accused of theft?. This is simply unacceptable.
4.They Take Our Girls I laughed when I saw this. Other countries complaining that Nigerians take their girls. Naturally ladies are attracted to successful and attractive men and that is what an average Nigerian is. If they achieve higher feats in the nearest future maybe it might turn around Despise the fact that Nigerians are hated so much, Nigeria still remains a force to reckon with in the world and most especially Africa, Nigerian Soldiers Die Trying to restore peace in troubled countries Nigerians Invest in other countries to boost their economy, presently Nigeria has successfully eradicated the deadly ebola virus without the experimental zmapp drug manufactured by the United States of America and Nigeria is currently being asked to extend a helping hand to other nations still suffering from the scourge of the deadly Ebola virus . Despite all this Nigeria is still showered with so much hate. What have Nigerians Done That Any Country's citizens haven't done before?
Source: http://..com/2014/10/why-most-africans-hate-nigerians_4.html?m=1 You mean the failed state? OP you need to take a trip to understand what a country looks like, Nigeria does not qualify, preach change!! |

FearGodinall: Buhari’s reputation as an anti-corruption crusader is also a myth. As head of state, he did not make any dent in Nigerian corruption. All we got was a cosmetic “war against indiscipline.” The counter-trade scam happened under his watch. Rather than deal with it, he sent his hound-dogs after nonentities like me who dared to expose it. That scam was no different, in scope and scale, from the petroleum subsidy and other corruption scandals that have since plagued Nigeria. The Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) that Buhari headed under Abacha was also a citadel of corruption. While Buhari himself might not have enriched himself, his cronies and those who worked under him did so handsomely. On this part, you are either a trained liar or just a m0r0n on Jonathan's pay roll |

Though I have consistently voted for him since 2003, I have no doubt in my mind that he should do the needful and step aside for a Fashola/Oshiomole ticket. I wont mind supporting his EFCC chairman candidature in the future if he needs it. First, APC needs to amend the EFCC act so that ex military men can occupy it, the whole police thing has reduced it to an ordinary toothless federal ministry.
As for his high handedness, that is exactly what Nigeria needs, people like Asari, Obj, Atiku, etc should be in chains.

The chief of the command center, Dr. Faisal Shuaib, gave credit to a coordinated effort by the Health Ministry, the C.D.C., the World Health Organization, Unicef, Doctors Without Borders and the International Committee for the Red Cross. The Ministry of health that was mentioned was actually the Lagos state Ministry of health not the Federal, I hope you know the difference. On several Occasions, the Lagos state health commissioner debunked several of the Minister's press statements, from then we knew who was actually working, most of you guys lack the ability to think!!

Romance › Re: Complexities Of Relationships by jpphilips(m): 3:40pm On Oct 08, 2014 |
BreezyRita: About 90% of single ladies would wish that the relationship they get into is SERIOUS. While. about 90% of guys are not yet ready for marriage, hence wouldn't entertain the thought of engaging in SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS. .......
.For a man to get ready for marriage, he must be convinced within himself (Without external influence) that IT IS TIME TO SETTLE DOWN. By then,
* He must have had a steady income
* He must have had a good arrangement for his own apartment. To Mention A Few.
Now, since most young men are not ready for marriage (For diverse reasons), this still does not stop them from going into relationships. Now, with the mind-set of NOT BEING READY FOR MARRIAGE, these guys can only 'sincerely' sustain AN ORDINARY RELATIoNSHIP. But most ladies see ORDINARY RELATIONSHIP as a waste of their time. Infact,If a lady discovers that her relationship is ORDINARY and leading to no-where,She would most likely quit. Unless, she decides to stay put
*for the MONEY.*for the mind-blowing INTIMACY.
*for the guy's beauty or prestige
*to cover for her loneliness.
*to solve miscellaneous needs. Etc Most ladies that become overly materialistic in their relationships do so on realizing that the relationship was actually leading to no-where. Hence, they decide to suck the guy dry. A deed that a lady that is convinced of her VERY SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP would rarely do. It is because of these above facts that SOME guys pretend to have plans for their girlfriends, when truly in their heart of hearts, they are actually on AN ORDINARY RELATIONSHIP with their girls.
*This is why heartbreaks would not Stop.
*This is why some "very sincere guys" that know these facts avoid SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS (Or as they say, Avoid Commitments) so as not to hurt ladies.
*This is why most single guys go for RUNS GIRLS, as against lying to ladies about their true feelings and plans for them.
One may ask: How Then Can A Lady Know If Her Guy Is Serious or Not.
ANSWER:- You may never know unless it becomes obvious to you. Some guys don't like going for RUNS GIRLS...*And still, they re always in need of sex partners...*And still, they tend to feel lonely without an EXCLUSIVE girlfriend. THESE TYPE OF GUYS WOULD SPEND, SACRIFICE, PRETEND AND LIE PERFECTLY TO HAVE A WOMAN OF THEIR CHOICE.
Some ladies know this, hence, they have imbibed the tactic of DENYING THEIR MAN, SEX TILL MARRIAGE as a way to protect themselves from these kinda guys. The disadvantage of this policy however, is that the THE GENUINE GUYS THAT WOULD REALLY WANT TO MARRY YOU WOULD STILL WANT SEX.and a 'No' from you to them would suggest to them that there may be something about your sexlife that you re hiding... Hence, you risk losing them.
In the end,Loneliness would take over the scene. If you re a lady and you have a guy working things with you seriously towards walking down the aisle,Then Lucky Are You. The same applies to the guys too. Relationships are just too complex.It is a necessary dilemma that we must all pass through.......... Where is the complexity in your narrative? |

Properties › Re: Student Hostel Development: A Sure Way Of Making Money by jpphilips(m): 2:24pm On Oct 08, 2014 |
segzy14: [b]INTRODUCTION One of the ways of making money in real estate in Nigeria is by building student hostels. Nigeria, with an estimated population of 170 million, has the largest population in Africa and still counting. The educational sector has been consistently underfunded and the infrastructural deficit is alarming. Apart from the lack of adequate, quality and modern equipments, books and sufficient number of qualified manpower, there is also lack of adequate infrastructures such as student hostels in most of our higher institutions. Only few higher institutions, both public and private, can boast of sufficient accommodation for all the students willing to live on campus. This gap has created opportunities that have made some investors rich. In another vein, this short fall in the provision of student accommodation by higher institutions of learning is not peculiar to Nigeria. Almost in all nations, there is always the choice to live on campus or to secure private hostel accommodations. The student rental market is thus an international opportunity. The reason being that provision of student housing is not seen as a core business of educational institutions compared to other pressing needs such as research centres, lecture halls, creating new departments and provision of libraries. Tactically, by providing few hostel accommodations such institutions have ‘outsourced’ their accommodation to private investors like you who can turn it into a cash flow machine.[/b] Have you ever gone to collect rent from cultists before? have you considered that since the school has infrastructural deficit like you alleged, they may still be in their temporary site, what becomes of your building when the students move? The schools gradually make up for this infrastructure gap by building their own hostels, you may take a trip to NAU and ESUT for more feasibility studies, all that glitters is not gold.

[quote author=carefreewannabe post=26965091]My ex had a child. I had no problem with his child. I had a beautiful relation with his son. When we broke up, the most painful thing was to part with the child. Since then I know that I prefer a man who does not have a child because it can be pretty painful but a child would never be a reason for me not to date someone. And as we get older more and more people will have children. In the age of divorce, it is more than normal that most people we meet will have a past and its results will be children from previous relationships. You have a child and dated someone who has one right? that is perfectly your social circle just
stick to it. Do you now get Sagamite's message?

Sagamite: Really?
Having a child has its pros and cons just like any complex human interaction.
Marriage has its pros and cons.
Living in wealthy neighbourhood has its pros and cons.
Having only sons or only daughters has its pros and cons.
Living in Nigeria surprisingly has its pros and cons.
When it comes to the dating game, having a child already has its cons that puts people (women or men) at a disadvantage. Far more so women.
Just like being a divorcee puts people (women or men) at a disadvantage in the dating game. Far more so women.
Just like having a disability puts people (women or men) at a disadvantage in the dating game.
Just as being uneducated puts people (women or men) at a disadvantage in the dating game.
Just as being unattractive puts people (women or men) at a disadvantage in the dating game. More so women.
Just as being extremely short puts men at a disadvantage in the dating game.
Just as being poor puts men at a disadvantage in the dating game.
Whether this people choose to see it as a disadvantage or not does not stop it from being a disadvantage they have to somehow overcome.
The society you are in dictates the magnification of these disadvantages. Some would be pronounced, some would only be slight.
Simples!
Hyperventilating in your feminist red mist at the obvious does not change anything. A mist you never have for men being disadvantaged, obviously, otherwise it would not have the appended "feminist".
That is not to say people should be ashamed or not love their child. I just stated what is the fact! It is what it is. You don't need to say more, "take me as I am" (women dating rules), "he must be a perfect gentleman" (women's rules for men), what are they going to demand next after equality?

carefreewannabe: I don't see having a child as a disadvantage just because some or even many men wouldn't want to be with me for this reason. My life is not about how many men fancy me. If anything ever happens to the father of my children, he will be able to Rest in Peace, because he will leave this world knowing that I will never consider my position as disadvantaged but rather cherish motherhood and make the best out of it.
https://www.phillysportstc.com/Black_mother_and_daughter_800x532.jpg Who makes the social rules, you? you think the world run on what you think or what your convictions are? I followed closely your bickering with Sagamite, though he is Maverick, but I can categorically tell you that if men really think like women, where things that really matter should be down played, you lots wont have any need for us.
It doesn't matter whether or not you are happy, the thread is a direct question that behooves a direct answer, my answer is a capital "NO" if you have a child, and my reason is that you are socially disadvantaged and if the tides were reversed, you will still not consider me.
I may change my mind probably when Genevieve agrees to marry or date a plumber in her neighborhood.

carefreewannabe: You have happily participated in p[b]utting single mothers down[/b]. You have sided with people who offend them. You called it enlightenment and education to tell them what ALL of them know. And to come at people whose situation CAN be very tough, especially in developing countries, is very weak.
And the worst of all is that you don't see anything wrong in it. Nobody is putting anybody down, a man or woman with a child is socially disadvantaged it is common sense, I will not marry a man with a child if I was a woman. |
