stannydon: any Nigerian who is allowed to drive in United States will kill himself and a lot of people.

[size=13pt] That is suicidal. How many have you killed, are you Boko Haram in disguise ? [/size]

stannydon: You have to pass the driving and alcohol test, and then the road test in any state in USA.

[size=13pt] Alcohol test ? Where are you ? [/size]

stannydon: In the first place, Nigerians don`t go proper driving school or online road rules. Somebody got me the so called new driving license in Nigeria in my absent. You have to learn the rules and regulations of driving in United States before you can drive here. Is pure on merit not on bribery like it is done in Nigeria. You have to pass the driving and alcohol test, and then the road test in any state in USA.

FriendMark: There is. It is a WASTE OF TIME!

FriendMark: I don't think it'll be fair enough to give your question a direct answer. Generally, online job applications are not a waste of time but some companies don't consider/review their online job app. database. Yet still, you shouldn't give up on it. Stay blessed.

[size=13pt]Have you made up your mind ? [/size]

Tyche: WASTE OF TIME IS
1. Applying for any and every job online. Narrow your search.
2. Applying for a job that you did not meet their minimum requirement.

HNosegbe: From a pragmatic point of view, Condi would be a very good choice. She's widely respected, she's smart, she has extensive experience in governance as a secretary of state, she's a woman and she's black. If Romney chooses her as VP candidate it will bolster his chances significantly.

[size=13pt] Some conservatives will throw up at the mention of her name as potential VP pick. Anyone associated with lowly rated G. Bush's administration is 'bad market' for Romney (wonder why no cameras or journalists were allowed @ d Romney - Cheeney meeting today ? ) . I think the story was cooked up as a deliberate attempt to divert media attention from the Bain capital and tax-return attacks that have been raining down hard on Romney. Still a possibility though , repubs are full of surprises .

manny4life: Bros, what don't you understand by companies packing up?
Valero Corp. (2nd or 3rd largest refiner in the U.S.) is closing or have closed a good portion of their operations in the U.S. meanwhile Sunoco is doing the same (closing of their largest plant). Valero are relocating back to South America where labor and EPA requirements are cheap and less stringent respectively.

[size=13pt]Just wondering , because crude oil price is a global thing and is not likely to be much affected by local (US) refineries shutting down. Besides, low crude price should be good news to refining companies, no be today them start to dey shut down and re-open, when the conditions turn from unfavourable to favourable. Refineries shutting down will only affect the price of the finished product (gasoline). I thought the ones that packed up a while ago left because of high crude oil prices and I understand your point about EPA and cost of labour too, its all encompassing. Just my 2 cents anyway.[/size]

nijanigga: You talk true my brother.But our people think they got brain are condeming you.They will soon join robbery, reality is happening. Americans are drilling their crude oil right now and will be importing more oil from Canada. In 5 or 6 years Nigeria's oil will be useless.

ajobes: yet the messiah are still battling with economics ressession

Carson : "Boko Haram capitalizes on the poverty and misery in the northern part of Nigeria, the Nigerian government should address the root cause of the problem by providing better governance to all Nigerians. Boko Haram thrives because of social and economic problems in the north that the government must find a way of addressing"

Smith: "Ideology that is highly, highly radicalized may exploit poverty at times, but poor people do not necessarily become terrorists and killers. That is an insult, frankly, to poor people,".

manny4life: Why are you guys attacking Mmuo_Okija?

He said the obvious truth, Nigeria was warned.

Like he said, no thanks to the U.S. who no longer buys increased volume of crude not only in Nigeria but Africa in general because most of their refineries in U.S. are packing up.

Recession is on the way, and it will hit like a mighty way, while we can still salvage and diversify our economy , the only solution now is for govt to STOP controlling/managing and START regulating and encouraging.

Nigeria has great potentials unlike other nations, we just need good, STRONG fiscal policies in place.

[size=13pt]Sorry o, I dont quite understand this part ? [/size]

[size=13pt]- Talking of the constitution and upholding the law by putting innocent lives at stake.
- What stup.id security is he talking about ? our security operatives have shown they can't even protect themselves from theses Boko urchins. How many times do we hear of police stations being invaded and overrun by the haramites ?
Its sad GEJ keeps letting his untrained dogs off leash to make a fo0l of his govt.
Mallam Inuwa is an incomplete psycho [/size]

Iveanyi: Let's fight the fire and not the smoke!

SmoothCrim: As long as you keep calling them "The North" and not seeing them as the same as you the problem will not be solved. If the country is one country then their problems are your problems. Ultimately all this is proving is that the country is divided but, cannot divide because the North will not be a viable state and we will get 2 failed states in West Africa instead of one.


In the end, the simplest solution is free Education in the North which abhors extremism as part of the curriculum.

[size=13pt]
which education ? the one they so vehemently abhor ?

Musiwa2: It is not about the US looking for a country to destroy. It my people. we are talking about even if the USA was looking to destroy Nigeria or africa for their selfish means.. I will not be supporting a move like that. But I am african who know what will happen. That why I am supporting the break up of Nigeria to save the people. They have tried hard to frame me.. So i know what I am going through.

If you read my post. In one occasion I said I am ready to spend the rest of my life in prison just to save millions of lifes.. I know what will happen after seen the satellite pictures.. Look Gani is my relation. He went to jail 32 times trying to save the people.

There is going to be civil war in Nigeria. I am telling. Stop listen to politician or people who are looking to explore the people for money. I am telling you, looking africa.. I am not part of a gang blowing up Nigeria. look millions of Nigeria will tell you this same. If you doubt me. I can name a place and just put it on the internet and million of nigerian will show the world I am telling the truth. by standing in that place. There will be civil war in Nigeria over the satellite pictures. I am not doing it for myself. I am doing it for them.

Look you see when Goodluck name a university how they reacted to something just simple. I am not telling lies. I am putting my life at sake to this.. I have already lost people I know already been killed. So I am telling you. They would be trouble if they dont break up NIgeria.

I know people who are governor of state and I should be greed and self my own selfishness and make millions. But I have not done that. Look if I wanted to get a $100 million from the Nigeria govt I am able to do that illegally. but I have not done that because I put people first before million of dollars. I love the people more than I love money.

Nebeuwa: You silly people. The United States is kind to its allies.

Countries that have benefited from the United States largesse include:

-South Korea (After Korean War)
-Japan (After WWII)
-Western Europe (After WWII)

Wouldn't you want to be like these nations instead of nations that have chosen the path of enemy? Choose wisely. The United States doesn't forget countries that are allied with them. Nor do we forget our enemies.

[size=13pt]
are you suggesting "destroy and rebuild" ? ? you can add Afghanistan and Iraq to that list. They're definitely US allies now.

Tropilo: How many of these banks mentioned pay dividends to their share holders? I own shares in Skye and have not received a kobo for 6 years. ECOBANK pay dividends yearly and on time, even in US Dollars, yet they did not make the list. I think the criterium for judging is very faulty.
Banks are usually rated by assets, liquidity, returns to it investors/share holders instead of the mundane criteria listed in the post.

chuckdee4: I don't think we need another striker (Whether RVP stays or not)
The attacking midfield is more important but i have a feeling baba Ijebu will say Wilshere will be like a new signing
The only way we'll be getting an extra defender is if Djorou is sold, speaking of selling off players, why hasn't there been any activity with all these fringe players?

azpekuliar: Gawd bless you Kay-Dee for leading me to 'Swindleys Maracas' Been looking out for that joint over the last decade....Thanks man...So Glad...

Lol !! I love that song. I've had it on tape since it was released and it was one of the first songs I downloaded in the MP3 era, its been on my 'favourites' list since then. I like some of Spooks' other songs ('Things I've seen' and 'Karma hotel'), I don't know why or how they went under.

Insanity: Hey peeps,
i've finally decided on the schools for my post graduate studies...
Geotech Engineering-Texas A&M
Geotech Eng- U texas Austin
Geological science and Engineering- Colorado school of Mines.
What do U guys think? i pray one of those will admit me.
Someone jst told me that Texas A&M hardly admit international students...i doubt that bt i just wanna confirm so dat i don't waste d application fee.
What of Delf University netherland? Heard its a very good sch for engineering.
Am also thinking of switching to Petroleum Engineering MEng @ University of Tulsa..please judging from the fact that i did Civil Eng B.Eng..is that a good career move..i need you guys that are more experienced in this to advice me.

[size=13pt]Some people sha must make nonsense comments because they always see 'negatives' in everything; even if there's a secret or dark side to his story like some peeps here are insinuating, why don't you just learn from the positives and move on. [/size]

Decryptor: So people like Ben Carson, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg etc commited crimes to become who they are abi? God should have just created you as a hippopotamus!

proudly9ja: @KayDee, I don't think RVP will be behave the way Tevez did. If we refuse to sell him, he would play his final year and leave for free. Its a contract and he is obliged to play that final year. I doubt it if Arsene would send RVP on the field and RVP would refuse to go and play. Even Nasri as bad as he was didn't do that to Arsene.

Moreover, let's even assume that he would be unprofessional and refuse to play. How would it affect us in terms of personnel? I personally do not think that Arsene Wenger would reinvest whatever money he gets from selling RVP. So whichever way, whether he runs out his contract or not, we are still left with Podolski, Giroud and Walcott/Gervinho/Arshavin.

My siggestion isn't a form of punishment to RVP. Its just a way of letting the players we have know that you can't keep behaving that way year in year out. I believe this is equivalent to option 3 in your post?
