saintvc: The way people fall in love and break up and cry that their heart is broken only to search for another love and get hurt again.

So i wonder, is love worth d risk,? The pain?

crisycent: TELL HIM YOU ARE TREATING A SERIOUS INFECTION... HIM SUGARCANE GO HIDE INSIDE D BACO SACK[b]!!!

Bidam: Now my question is: what is the difference between vocation, calling,occupation and profession? A mature christian response is needed here pls.

subima: Is very disappointing that such money is spent on Amachi's Private Jet. Generally in port harcourt no good road. the few he did are in very deplorable condition. After just 4 years in office. He and his commissioner are contructing Mono rail with tax payers money, so much money has been spent on that project. He should come to term that it is failed project. This money's spent rikelessly should be channeled to expanssion of roads in port harcourt and sourrending comminities. No Electicity and no drinking water. And money is spent rikelessly. Lagos once the capital of Nigeria is well connected with roads. Opening up of Port harcourt greater city is a good idea but no road and no light in the old port harcourt city.

blessbe: those 'pple behind this robbery and killing of innocent souls, 'll never go unpunished. they 'll go down the same way. look @ the innocent children, what 'll be their tot when they get back 4rm school, that their father, who just drop them off to school is now a cold blooded man. even making their mother a widow. What a pain4 death. How much where u paid to kill an innocent soul? nothing but jealousy, enviousness, greediness and etc. but i belt, those who killed with gun, shall also go by the gun. That's my prayer 4 u all that doeth mischievously.

a1solution: If your husband locks his phone its a sign of respect to you. That means he loves you and doesnt want querel at home. At times u may be too demanding and he does not want you to see his transaction alert. For if he do you may ask of the money he intends using to settle some other pressing issue as man which you may not be aware of.

mumumugu: Its like mosquito prefer one person to another

each time i sleep, they come out from WHEREVER and ravage my legs and hand and suck away

however,those i sleep under the same roof and in the same bed arent afected while my body is swolen.

Why do they prefer to suck my blood and leave others and how can i make them loose interest in me.?

onatisi: vic why u dey bother urself have u forgotten the saying of the wise that says experience is the best teacher,no matter what u say some nigerians will still feel they are immune against this things and that they are smart,i dey laugh ooooooooo

mekussays: The ban on okada in the whole of lagos will be the best thing that will happen in lagos. Okada riders lack training and are too aggressive and in a rush thus turning lagos in a menace city.

Keke napep if probably organized better would be a far much better way of transportation in lagos because it will actually save lives(pls read the report on how many people have died and being hospitalized due to okada- https://www.nairaland.com/1085094/okada-accidents-killed-107-two)

Once keke napep has been accepted by Lagosians, the price will come down and a definite price structure can be in place.

abysirius: Owning Keke in lagos of today is now a good business as the recent ban on Okada within Lagos metropolis is now an avenue for keke owners to exploit passengers around Lagos.

Imagine keke charging 70 naira for a distance that they would have gracefully collected 30 naira for.

As if the frustration lagosians get from them isn't enough, they will only stop u half way and expect u to trek ur way to ur final destination. Obviously, stopping okada from operating at a time when 3rd mainland is closed is one problem too many for lagosians.

Considering the terrain here, Okada has comparative advantage that keke doesn't have even if more keke are to be ordered to reduce the resultant effect of okada ban. Okada can manoeuvre traffic better, it's even cheaper, keke cannot enter streets and coners the way okada will do etc. Too many reasons while Okada's ban is not healthy.

Though the ban on the long run could be worth all these wahala now like some pple argue, the effect now is hellish and I know a lot of persons here will share the same view. May be the die is cast as we cannot reverse the situation with okada and the ban. So how then do we cope with this excessive demand and hike in the prices of these keke napep men? Since govt has succeeded in monopolising poor man mode of transport all to the fa4 of keke owners (and to average man pikin detriment) how then do we cope with keke in lagos, how do we forge ahead?

ItsModella: I have applied to jobs where I wasn't asked for genotype even though I was asked for health records.

in Nigeria? which health record doesn't carry Genotype anyways

ItsModella: Wow, this is the first time I'm hearing of genotype being included in a job questionnaire. [/b]I am dismayed that the people who claim to accept by merit discard that principle based on genotype. The world is not an easy place and you're right, you can't change its view but you can learn to interpret your own view the way you want to. While we discourage couples not to marry based on incompatible genotypes, we also have to encourage and tolerate those with SCD. Awareness is the key in everything.

Abali1: At all those viewing this story, let me tell you one thing you all should remember.
IT IS FROM PITYING SS PEOPLE THAT THE STIGMA ARISES. Like they are lesser beings whom the gods have dealt with. Before you know it, conciously or uncousiously you will want to protect them "FOR THEIR OWN GOOD", but in truth you are just killing their self esteem.

@ the bold quote;

i remember they were taken to the Evil forest during the olden days, said the gods struck them lol

@ poster, your story is quite touchy but i have loads of SS friends and they seem ok to me, is there something they are doing that you are not?

apocalypse: I doubt this story is hers but a means to gain support for her own choice. With the advancement in medicine and science as a whole , ending your relationship with your other half based on genotype is no issue , come on information is everywhere - use it.
There are some people you can't live without

Techwriter: When I read some comments I can easily tell where the person spends his weekends and even some week days. Insults not intended but I think clubs are brooding more crack addicts

Highbros: Ok, maybe you dey phuck the guy well. When he is ready for marriage, he will dump you.

Techwriter: How dare you even compare them. The Church(not him) makes it big and they are building more universities. Apart from Kanu Nwankwo and his heart foundation, how many celebrities with all the hard currency has built what others benefit from? I know you would be glad if the nite club is making more than the church. But sorry, the seed of the Righteous shall be mighty upon the earth

Knight1: @aze
Do you use mtn?
If u pay for the 1500 package, whats the data limit?
Do u use it for tethering?
Pls reply asap. Thanks

Tedpgrass: Dear Sir,
What's ur response to the women who stayed to support these men in their "growth" spurt but promptly replaced with younger models upon (their) "arrival".

Examples abound for us to see in society.

From recollections, those men aren't brought to book but are rather "hailed".
Advice to any female: spend time n effort empowering yourself legitimately!!!!


A guy who can't be comfortable with your grace (wealth or influence), doesn't have the grace to be with you.!!!!

ITbomb: Brilliant quote from jp phillips

taharqa: I read yr previous loooong comment and i smh. The whole discuss rest on 2 points: 1st, does the current situatn in northern Mali where a disparant group of extremist who are coming from every part of d Muslim world and trying to set up that region as an international terroist base pose a grave threat to Nigeria and d West and Sahel African region, enuf that Nigeria needs to take every sensible means possible to dislodge them? 2nd, is Nigeria going this alone or is she collaborating with other affectd countries and institutns in an international effort to dislodge these ppl from Mali? My answer to d 1st questn is yes- it constituents one of d gravest threats to our national security and those of our neighbours, to d extent of even bn an Existential threat. On d 2nd questn, Nigeria is working with ECOWAS, AU, EU and UN in an international effort to dislodge these terroists; i think d EU and UN is to provide sm equipments and logistics( including a lot of the finances needed) while ECOWAS countries( led by Nigeria of course) are expectd to mostly provide the ground troops. Is there sm possible downsides to our intervening? Absolutely. Wud it hv bn better that this situatn isnt happening? Yes. But it is already upon us, and the consequences of not doing anything or not doing enuf out of fear is better imagine. I completely agree with you though that we ought to be careful and SMART bout this whole thing cos this is quite diff from other interventns we had previously undertaken......your talk on strongest military in Africa, and SA selling military wares to d UN etc was a disgression IMO and does not concern this particular mission...pray that these terroists agree to leave Mali as negotiatns continue OR pray that our soldiers smarshe them as quickly and effectively as possible. We hv no other choice in d mata. Good day.

I have already acknowledged the threat so why repeating it, i proffered a simple solution that gives the president both diplomatic and political soft landing.

I understand if UN wants to work in harmony with existing regional apparatchiks but the president should not see it as a "messiah invite" because the consequences far outweighs the benefits.

All the UN wants to achieve is a reduction in the cost of war/intervention nothing more, it will be politically suicidal for trainee presido to flatter himself with the illusion of an "African messiah" in playing the head man's role.



The American intervention in Somalia is not unconnected to the fact that the Somalian pirates posed a direct economic threat to the United states. they hijack oil tankers destined for europe and America, thereby cutting down on the supply which was devastating for crude prices at the time.

a 6.8% artificial increase in oil price is enough for the united states to go to war. can that be said of Nigeria as regards its National security threat?

which other major militarily competent countries is affected enough to lead the operation in Africa apart from Nigeria? Do u know the first two mission commanders of UNMISUD (UN Mission in Sudan)? Maj. Gen. Okonkwo (NA) and Lt Gen. Martin Luther Agwai (NA). by your line, one would expect Gen. Ali Mohammed of Egyptian Army or Gen Julius Muleke of Ethopian Army, isnt it?

homerac7: @ jp philips

Thanks for your knowledged posts, it's richness gives me the encouragement to reply with due respect.

Honestly, your facts aren't new to me, but i only disagree wt your political strategy of evasive stand. It is only matter of opinion and almost all scholars of NIIA and NIPSS disagree with one another over such, how much less u and I who may not b experts on such matters (U may be, but I am not). I am aware of the pity state of Nigeria's economy, and also the burden of the military adventure we took in Liberia and S/Leone. Nigeria is in embarrassing shambles, but fortunately, I am a Nigerian. My patriotism is not in meaningless jingoism, neither is it on self-hating all-year-round criticism, but in acknowledging simple truths for and against our state in candid and objective manner.

If i should take on ur points one by one, it will only avoidably lead to further arguments whc u and I hav little time and no strenght for, and not that either of us may bring up anything "new" as fact though. Most important aspect is dt we have agreed that it's unavoidable expedient that Nigeria leads this mission.

I enjoyed d discussion. I wish u PEACE sir!
