@ op, if its well trained, no cause for alarm. lik me, I bout a 2yrs old pregnant rott too, lik 4 weeks ago, she has nw adopted to her new home vry well. barking @ visitors too.. nd she's vry well trained, so u cn go ahead nd adopt...

Thanks bro, I'm grateful. I actually brought the dog in this morning. My wife and kids are so much in love with it. The dog is calm. The dog appears to have a calm temperament. I've been spending time with it because of the holiday. I wantedtaking him to a vet immediately, but my vet asked I come today.

Initial post: "hi guys. i am in the process of adopting an untrained 2 year old rottweiler. i have limited experience with this breed, as i've only kept 2 GSDs in the past. However, my wife has fallen in love with this particular rott. I've got a little boy of 3 and girl aged 5. my worries;
is it safe to bring this dog in?
what are the necessary steps to take towards integrating this dog with my family?
is it still possible to give this dog basic obedience training( i intend to do that,as i've always trained my GSDs myself)
how easily can i assume the alpha status, given the age and perceived stubborn nature of rotts?

positive comments are welcomed pls"

So, I finally took the rott home and my family love this dog. Infact, we all went to bring her in together. While at my friend's, I saw another male Boerboel there. The dog has been so maltreated. Chained on a spot and not allowed to move. I asked why the dog was chained and kept in an uncompleted building, I was told it's because the dog is always bullied by his older GSD. He added that he doesnt like the dog as it doesn't bark and looks timid. He has 4 dogs and doesn't take care of them well. He just kept them because he lives in an isolated place. No training, no care. Just feeding them what he likes. He claims the dog has taken necessary vaccines,which I doubt.

I felt pity for it and asked to take it along. The owner willingly agreed. I've heard several stories of dog rescue here, particularly Boerboels and I'm motivated to be part of it (Vicdamn, Coolsmithz readily comes to mind). I took both dogs in yesterday. I'm about taking them to the vet.
The Boerboel looks ok but malnurished. I immediately got him glucose and milk. I fed indomitable with egg, but he refused to eat. I had to buy him raw meat and he consumed it speedily. I'm on my way to the vet now. Updates later. I just pray I'm able to do this because I'm always busy. I will give it my best shot and I'm sure wifey will help.

**** after all, the last picture here represents what u was able to do for the dog in 44 days. That is from time of rescue 24th March to 7th May. Within this period, the dog visited a vet just once. All I did was concentrate on feeding as well as application of shea butter on the skin, which I did for about 8 days....

first, it was the so called Presidential Bodyguards Guards (PBG) made up of soldiers failing to protect the President at the Eid Praying ground. second, a foreign envoy was almost killed by an accidental discharge from soldier who claims to be a BG. i hope by the time the third incident happens, the President himself won't be shot. You don't sacrifice professionalism on the alter of sentiments. The DSS has been in charge of Villa for age and nothing of this kind was recorded.

good write up.
i'm about to adopt a 1 year, eight months old male boerboel. Could you please guide me on what i need to do? i have kids at home who love dogs, so is my wife. My main concern is how to integrate the dog into my family, considering that i don't have much time. I work 7 to 7 each day and i'm only free on sundays. Please note that i dont have any dog at the house presently, though I used to have two GSDs, which i had to give out due to relocation.
thanks

Mayor_of_Lagos: The controversy surrounding the planned exit of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Lamido Sanusi, deepened on Thursday with the governor insisting that he would not quit the post until his term expired on June 2, 2014.

In keeping with his vow, which analysts see as a direct confrontation with President Goodluck Jonathan, Sanusi has said he will not proceed on his terminal leave in March as initially being speculated.The President had reportedly asked the CBN governor to resign immediately because of the alleged deliberate leakage of the letter that Sanusi wrote to him in which the governor accused the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation of not remitting $49.8bn crude oil revenue to the Federation Account.Sanusi was said to have denied leaking the letter to former President Olusegun Obasanjo or anyone for that matter, and allegedly told the President that he could only be removed by two-thirds of members of the Senate as required by law.The governor reportedly told the President that the letter was available in the Presidential Villa, the Ministry of Finance and the CBN, and wondered how he could be accused of leaking it.

One of our correspondents learnt on Thursday that Sanusi expressed his determination to remain in office until the expiration of his one-term tenure of five years on June 2 during a meeting with top management officers of the bank on Wednesday.The Director, Corporate Communications Department, CBN, Mr. Ugochukwu Okoroafor, confirmed the development in a chat with one of our correspondents in Abuja on Thursday.He said the governor used the opportunity provided by the “family meeting” to clear doubts surrounding the expiration of his tenure.Okoroafor said, “The CBN is an important organisation in the economy of this country and we have to be careful in whatever we do because our actions send a strong message to the economy as a whole.“The governor had a meeting with officials of the central bank and it was like a family meeting; and in that meeting, he made it clear that he is not going anywhere until his tenure expires in June.“He is not proceeding on retirement leave by March as being speculated; rather, he will be retiring on June 2 this year when he will be completing his five-year single tenure.”According to Okoroafor, the CBN governor will formally announce his retirement in March, when his successor is expected to be named, and will remain in office until June 2.

Both chambers of the National Assembly declined comments on the alleged plan by the Federal Government to sack Sanusi.The spokesperson for the Senate, Eyinnaya Abaribe, and his counterpart in the House of Representatives, Mr. Zakari Mohammed, said the National Assembly would not be dragged into “a mere rumour.”Abaribe, in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents, said, “The Senate will not make any comment on any issue that is not before it. It remains a rumour until it is properly communicated to the Senate.”Mohammed also said, “I have no comment to make. The National Assembly as an institution will not be dragged into any controversy based on a mere allegation.”Efforts to get the Presidency’s reaction did not yield any positive result as the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Dr. Reuben Abati, did not respond to calls made to his mobile telephone line, nor respond to text messages sent to the same line.

Nigeria, we hail thee! The whistle blower is now the hunted, and the accused is watching and smiling. We now have a President who is not feared by any governor, be it state or CBN governor. Why? Obvious display of incompetence, lack of courage, lack of capacity and inefficiency! Can Nigeria really survive another four years of this type of administration? It remain to be seen. God bless Nigeria!

Soyedele1: for HND grads, during your Undergraduate days, how many professors taught you and how many professors you have in ur dept? At University level, right from your 100lvl to final year, You will pass through alot of professors... during my 100lvl, I can count up to 4 Professors that taught me.. Both of you HND holders know that you can work as a graduate assistant in the university..

Baseless argument. What professors? Nigerian professors? Are you guys not talking about nigerian universities? What is so special about the universities in this country?
Just as we have so many bright polytechnic graduates, so do we have countless unworthy university graduates. Is it not the same universities where lecturers and the so-called professors sell internet copied materials as text books, just like the handouts sold in the polytechnics? Abeg leave story!
The issue of comparison does not arise here. HND is advantageous in it's right, so is B.Sc. The warped education system in Nigeria is responsible for the unfounded disparity in placements at the Federal Civil Service. Both qualifications are meant to serve different and specific purposes in a sane clime. However, the basis for their respective existence have been rubbished and defeated in this country, hence the unnecessary battle for comparison.
Nevertheless, the advantages of each remain clear and potent. I stand bold to say that very few university graduates in engineering can stand shoulder to shoulder with their polytechnic counterparts. I hold an HND in Mining Engineering. I've had causes to compete with countless university graduates, who I see as paper-weight in my field. Without been immodest, they don't know what I know. Some of them go to just 2 field trips through out their study. I went to 8 field trips!
Even beyond academic qualification tussle, I've had causes to compete with doctors, lawyers and other university graduates and I always hold my own.
As an HND graduate, what you know, your level of confidence, personality, poise, finesse and your self believe scale the heights for you.

deeobserver209: JUST WAIT TILL WE MEET ON DEC 21.

I guess you are a Chelshit fan. It's 23rd of December, not 21st. What difference will it make? Stoke City just flog una. So? Did Man Utd not beat Arsenal? How many points I dey take lead them? Go siddon bros! Chelshit if full of Shit!!

WHY ARSENAL DOUBTERS WILL BE SHAMED!
Arsenal's brilliant season so far has generated a lot of feelings and reactions. For majority of Arsenal fans, it's something to cheer about after 7 dreadful trophyless campaigns. For Arsenal haters, especially most Chelshit, Manshitty and Red devils, it's a temporary thing that will soon fade off. As a full blooded gunner, I can only laugh and relish the moment. This piece is an attempt to put an insight into why Arsenal remains a serious contender for the premier league this season.

For me, it is not a coincidence that Arsenal is topping the premier league and indeed a champions league group comprising of Borrusia Dortmund(last seasons's runners up), Napoli and Olympic Marseille. So many haters said Arsenal will not even qualify from this group! The question is, why is this so? Why is Arsenal in a commanding position at the EPL and dreadful Champions league group? I will explain this by highlighting why Arsenal has faltered in the past seven harrowing, trophy-less seasons. Many would agree that Arsenal faltered due to the following reasons;

(1) Each season, the club lost its best players; Viera, Gilberto, Henry, Toure, Hleb, Flamini, Fabregas, Clichy, Nasri, Adebayo, Song and Vanpersie, among others all left at different times within these seven years, when they all had enough to offer the club. As a matter of fact, most of them left after a sizzling performance for the club.

(2) Getting commensurate and quality replacements for the departed players was an herculean task; Yes, when these players left, Mosieur Wenger failed to replace them. Infact, at most times, he failed to get any form of replacement and opted to keep faith in fringe players.

(3) Lack of depth/ strength in squad; This is obvious when you loose your best players and don't replace them. Wenger manages to put together a team of 11 players and when one gets injured, especially the star player, the team struggles to gain points.

(4) For some part, the team lacked leaders, character and experience. True. Everybody agrees that Arsenal has always played good, pleasing football, but they lack the experience and character to win the league. At a point, the likes of Fabregas, Flamini and other talented youths were leading the charge, but falter when it mattered most. A key example was the 06/07 season when Arsenal led the league till February and lost it to Man Utd.

(5) Club direction and focus. Yes! I said this because some of us clearly understood what Wenger was doing, when he tried to play with the brains and emotions of the true fans. I honestly believe that Arsenal did not challenge for trophies for a while because Wenger and the board had other plans! The plan was to build a new stadium and strengthen the financial base of the club. So, it's not coincidental that for the period Arsenal moved to Emirates stadium, the club didn't win trophies. Wenger was busy servicing loans. He kept selling players for huges sums of money and never re-invested it. The board kept deceiving themselves by claiming to make money available, but Wenger won't spend. The club kept declaring huge profits at the end of the year, even without trophies. Highby, our former ground was turned into a huge property investment. Arsenal didn't win and Wenger wasn't sacked. Isn't that an irony? In fact, Wenger even said at a point that a top four finish was as good as a trophy. Doesn't that twinkle something in your mind? Some of us know better!

I would have summarized this points, but I need to explain a little, so that some narrow minded, blind supporters of other clubs, (especially SOME Cheshit, Manshitty and Red Devil fans, who only watch football because others watch)would at least glean objectively from their shallow minds, why Arsenal was in trouble. Yes, I used the word WAS.

Now, I feel all these troubles are beginning to come to an end. This is why;

(A). Arsenal's team is now much more experienced. Imagine a team with Mertersacker(30), Arteta(30), Sagna(30) Rosicky(30), Podolski (27), Kolscieny(27) Vermaelen(28) Carzola(27)and players like Sczeny( I can't spell the name), Walcott and Ramsey who are young but has played 8 years top flight football. You could see the maturity in their play. They have been grinding out results. They now soak in pressure and control games. The maturity is evident in their play. (I know some cynics won't agree, na your wahala).

(B) There is strength in depth. Yes! This is because over the last 3 years, Wenger has brought in some quality players. Giroud, Carzola, Flamini, Arteta, Mertersacker, Monreal, Podolski, OZIL and even Ramsey all came in. Yes, Ramsey is more like a new signing, concerning how he has been playing. U can imagine Carzola, Wilshere, Walcott (Arsenal's highest goal scorer last season), Podolski, Monreal, Chamberlain and Vermaelen sitting on arsenals bench. In fact, Walcot, Ox and Podolski have even barely featured this season. Arteta, Carzola, Rosicky were also injured for up to 2 months, yet the team kept winning. Now all the injured are coming back. And some dreamers are still saying "Arsenal will faulter"? Keep hoping!!(#ideylaff). Remember the team that beat Hull City? Even Bendtner scored!

(C) shift in club focus and ambition. Another point. I feel wenger is now ready to go for it. Why would the "acagum" Wenger splash 42.5M on a single player Ozil? Remember, Wenger has been defiant about spending on players for years. In the last 3 years, he has brought players I mentioned under (2).

(D) this is the magic point. For the first time in 8 years, Wenger refused to sell any player. Yes! Not even Bendtner! This only shows ambition and has helped the team. The understanding is better, the spirit is more.

Now, like I said, it is not a coincidence that Arsenal is flying this season. Infact, it started from last season. Arsenal overcame a 10point gap to pip Tottenham HotSpuds to a Top four finish. Infact, it took the last league match for the overated Chelshit to pick a 3rd spot. Arsenal is the team with the best points in the year 2013! This year, Arsenal has garnered more points that any other team in England and has recorded unbelivable wins. This includes the defeat of Bayern Munich, Winner of Champions league by 2 to Nil in Munich. Same goes for Dortmund. Does this happen by chance? It's a food for thought

In conclusion, why it is not guaranteed that Arsenal will win EPL or any trophy for that matter, it is also not guaranteed that they can't win it! This is more so that other teams are not even better. Look at Man Utd( they seem to have swapped places with arsenal) Chelshit is even struggling. The return of foul mouthed Mourhino has not helped a lot. Man Shitty has been inconsistent. However, it is not enough to hope that arsenal will still falter. Yes, we will have bad spell, but with the depth, maturity and quality in the team, they are up there. Well, Arsenal is in the mix and will stay in the mix for long, believe it or not. Write the gunners off at your won peril!
Common you gunners, let's relish the moment!

1.4M serious buyer. Location for inspection?

Demdem: What will Jonathan do to them? Send them to jail?

You call the President of your country "Jonathan"? Even if he is weak and you don't like him, does it have to get to that? President of your country? And you want Nigeria to be a better place yet u can't show basic respect to constituted authorities? What is this nairaland turning into self? Obviously you don't respect your parents and you can never be a leader. I blame your parents for giving birth to you. Now I know why this country is in a mess; parents breeding vagabonds....

Hi car doctor. I've tried unsuccessfully to reach you on the phone. I own a 1995 Audi A4. I worked on the gear when it started jerking violently, especially when cold on gear one and eventually started leaking oil from the gear box. The guy who worked on it changed the oil pump and converter. Yet, the problem persisted. I'm thinking of changing the entire gear box. Can you help me work on it? If you could, how long will it take?What is the cost of a new gear box? Pls reply ASAP

plendil: You should have provided your own side if you didn't want us to 'judge with one sided analysis', because as it stands, the evidence is pretty compelling:

You knew the the money wouldn't be enough, yet you collected it. BAD!!

Let us even assume you were not aware of the actual price, would it not have spared your integrity to have informed OP, immediately, that the money was insufficient, and effect a refund if need be? Yet, according to OP, you started avoiding him and the client. VERY BADD!!

Well said Femi. That you've had previous dealings with the complainant doesn't exonerate you. Also, your failure to refute the complainants claim of obtaining 1.2M in your terse response proves that you are indeed guilty. Better refund the money you obtained ASAP.

mission_ma: @kenzspumpy, yes i now remember you very well. You claimed you work with SSS in Abuja, you sent your friend to Lagos to buy EOD for you, yes i remember. But you are not saying the truth about what really happened, you are not telling Nairalanders that your friend was reckless when driving the car to Abuja and eventually got an accident with trailer. You confirmed it yourself and with annoyance you told him to leave the car some where in Akure or Ekiti. You didn't also tell them that the car was very sound and you acknowledged that even after your friend had wrecked it. You didn't also tell them that i reported your case with State CID Panti Lagos after you bluntly refused to pay my balance and started avoiding my calls. You should also have stated that you came begging me for mercy after you are summoned that the car should be taken back to Lagos because you were trying to obtain me with tricks. You remember you only gave me 25k instead of 50k balance you owe me. All these after you begged, i tried to be considerate. You should also remember that you were trying to let me source for you the two doors wrecked by your reckless friend. The fact is that you acknowledge that your friend wrecked your beautiful and sound car, and you know it. But you were trying to shift the anger on me which i let you knew that it was wrong, i could be considerate with you but you had to be polite too. If i was selling you a bad car i wouldn't let you take the car away without paying fully for it, i told you take the car and balance me when you get the car in Abuja. I did that with good mind in trying to keep a good business relationship with you. You know what? You thought me a lesson that some buyers are very unreasonable when you are trying to be reasonable with them and i stopped giving such favor, but sometimes i still do it. In nutshell i never sold you a bad car, i didn't know what your friend did to your, all i knew was he wrecked it before taking it to you. Please Oga, it was not my fault you gave your incapable friend the duty of getting the car for you, and also thank your God that the guy didn't kill himself by foolishly dragging road with trailer. I fear you loads......so you have been looking for ways to sneak into my business and poison it.....God will not allow you. For your notice, am not a frivolous business man, i know d nitty-gritty. The fact that you are a buyer doesn't mean you should create nuisance abeg

@ mission ma, you just proved again that you are liar, cheat and criminal. It's actually needless flogging a dead dog like you because it won't come to life again. You claim "I came begging for mercy when I was summoned by police". What a joke! Have u ever met me before? Do you know how I look? Where and when did I beg u? Who summoned me? You are so despicable.
Yes, my friend whom I sent to u had a minor accident with the car, but it was just a bash and not with a trailer. I never told u he had an accident with a trailer. I told him to leave the car in Akure simply because he told me the transmission was misbehaving, even before the bash. I saw the car myself in Akure before any repairs was done and that scratch on d door could never affect a vehicle transmission. Never, except if it's in another world. The reason the car was left in Akure is to prevent total damage to the transmission. The bash was not even an issue because I saw it. Look, I have known this friend for over 25 years and I will forever choose to believe him because he is honest.
I will repeat again. I brought this issue forward not to ruin you, but simply because someone questioned your integrity and on that basis, I feel I also owe it a duty to share my personal encounter with you. I've seen it happen on this forum where members come to praise a car dealer for a job well done and other members join to do same. Inspired, Femmy2010 are examples. If it's the other way round, it should also be encouraged and emulated. Why do I have to wait till now to say this? It's simply because your integrity came under questioning. Simple. You really don't need to concoct lies to justify your dubious behaviour towards me. You sold a faulty car to me and that's it. What do I stand to gain if I come out to ruin you? I only shared my experience with you and that's it. I'm also a business man and I don't pray someone ruins my business. But I won't stand you concoct lies just to justify your actions.
So long brother. Just strive to do good always....

mission_ma: This car is sold, it is my personal car. The price of the car is reduced because i needed cash for a quick project. And nobody will tell me how much i have to sell my car. Check the market you will know i had not sold it for ridiculous price, i just reduced a little to sell fast and i did. For your curiosity i bought this car for 1m in march this year, so whats the big deal selling for 900k after using it for almost a year. If you have to know i have many serious buyer in line for good offer like this, and if anyone has this passat for sale don't hesitate to call me.

@kenzpumpy bring proof, you can't just come over and say whatever you like to support this meaner without a verified proof. As far as am concern your allegation is unfounded and i close my case till you prove yourself.

@xarxes the address i sent to you is my brother house, that's where i parked the car. You can go back there and ask for Yomi, he is my brother. The fact still remains that you came late and i don't have time for lateness. How many of your type have promised buying and never showed up, and how many dealers have come up here and shout even if we take the car to your door step for your convenience. People like you just make fuse out of nothing, i never told you bring money, i gave you proper address, a house address. Would any 419 do that? I wish i know you proper, we would have sorted this action out properly and next time you will not open your mouth and call people whatever you wish. That is lack of good manner, you need to be thought a good lesson. With years of experience with buyers here, i know a serious buyer when i get one, and i don't joke with them. But time wasters bokuu

Please any allegation should be made with proof. Thanks you all.

Mission ma, you are a joke. You just confirmed to the world that you are a cheat and you lack credibility. I made a point against you and rather than debunk it, all you asked for is a proof? I'm not ready to do anything with you. Like I said, I've seen moved on. But I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. You know you cheated me. What I'm I to prove to you? Do you remember seizing the vehicle papers until I paid a balance of 50k to you? Despite informing you that the transmission of the vehicle failed even before it was driven from Lagos to Akure? Remember you only gave the vehicle papers to my sister at Diamond Bank, Apapa after I paid you the balance, regardless of all my entreaties?I know your conscience bugs you now.

I don't stand to gain anything if I discredit you. But then, I maintain that I owe it a duty to mankind and God, if I don't mention on this forum the ill you've done to me, so that others won't fall victim. Period!!

Mission ma is real, only that he is not a credible personality. I've heard a nasty experience with him. In 2011, April to be precise, I sent a friend to him to purchase a 2004 EOD. He claimed the one he advertised had been sold and arranged another one for me. The EOD he sold to me had a faulty gear box and he knew it, yet I paid for 1.250M. Mission ma, do you remember? Well, it's all in the past now. I've since moved on. I'm not here to discredit anyone, and I've decided not to mention it, but it just occurred to me that if I continue to keep mum about it, someone else might fall victim. More so that his integrity has been questioned. This is my honest experience with Mission ma.

nku5: Gbam! This is how serious governments deal with this menace

God bless you. And some people thinking from their anus would say APC governors are clueless. Osun state govt has already built a ranch. This is what is called decisive action and this is how serious governments think. Not setting up useless committees. I live in that area and I know how these Cattle rearers carry out robbery attacks motorists. Government should give them designated cattle routes/ grazing areas and any one found running foul of the law should be prosecuted and dealt with. The time has come for serious policy enforcement in this country. Well done OGSG!

Hi Sooper, I need to change the transmission oil of my 1995 Audi A4( 4 cylinders) which oil can I use? A motor mech said I should use Dexron 6, another said Mobil. Pls advise properly. Thanks!

How much?
