OK, that is why the budget needed to be padded.when u guys were busying asking for furniture allowance, bedroom allowance e.t.c you didn't know the country was broke
The cost of governance in this country is way too expensive. Crazily expensive, even when the country is broke we can't still curtail it. Nigeria is a joke for now, mods pls move this to joke section

How this one take affect dollar rate

Owliver:
does it not defy logic. it is said that God loves us unconditionally but still creates hell fire just incase. now that's a condition. no one loves God even you. though you think you love him but you were psychologically bullied with fear(burning in hell)into "loving" him... that's absurd. I understand that all humans must attach meaning to life because it's the real deal. but I tell you. nothing is real in life. all is knowledge and perspective.

pride is the bane of every knowledgeable living beings.

all is vanity if you look at the brighter picture

The human mind can never comprehend who God really is, and even the holy scripture does not really tell fully who he is. The human mind is limited to what it can understand. Atheism is an attempt of the human mind trying to comprehend God fully, and then it meets a brick wall. As long as I don't understand it I don't believe it attitude, can I ask do u believe in ghost existence?

Lennycool:
atheism is the belief that no deity exist, if everyone was an atheist would you say it lacks relevance.

Whether you believe or not, it does not change the existence, can I ask, does ghost exist?
The sad thing is people make attempt to understand who God is, even the bible cannot tell you who he is. He is above what ever the bible says about him.

Nice post, you try
I have lived both in Europe and Africa. During my time in Europe, I became exposed to a whole lot of things that I nearly started a journey of atheism just like you , but white christians helped me not to make that journey, I saw Christianity in another perspective not like the way we African see it, totally differently. Your fear were African like mentality. The European brought religion to Africa and same Europe is going extinct in religion, atheism has spread like fire, and same thing is happening in Africa but gradually
Every body is entitled to their opinion if there is a God or not. I strongly believe there is a God, and whether any one chooses to believe it or not does not change anything, just like people who argue whether to believe in ghost or not. I don't know your views on ghost existence.
I have encountered a whole lot of people with different religion, I have sat down and had extensive discussion, I am an open minded person with a critical mind. One thing I have learnt irrespective of your religion, lf do not live you life right you would burn in hell, if you are an atheist or a religious person and u don't live your life right, you would surely burn in hell.
But As for me and my house we have chosen to serve the Lord
Shalom

Lol, this guy u wanna burst your electrican , ask him the copper tape , what size is it , is it 20mm or 25mm copper tape he intends to use , now i seriously doubt the distance of the roof to the earth plus add the length that would go into the ground would reach 40 meters, find a tape and measure it yourself to be sure he is not cheating you. 20Mm copper tape currently cost 1500 per meter and 25mm cost 1700. This is for 100 percent pure copper , substandard copper tape exist which is a mixture of copper and iron , this cost less than the amount stated, u need to work with a trusted electrician otherwise he collects money for th real thing and supplies you an inferior copper tape to save cost. Why on earth is he using 3 earthrod ? A 6 ft earthrod cost 7500 and a 4ft earthrod cost 4500, there are also sinstandard earthrod that goes for 1500 and 2800 , so be careful, earthmat cost 6000, thunder arrestor spike 7500 , coppernails are not exxpensive 100_200 naira same with clip , clamp cost 700, i cants see bag of salt and charcoal in that list, remember this is a lagos price, so in owerri it could be higher , the distance between the roof and the earth is critical to be aware of , in this way he doesnt cut corners on you ,
Shalom

You dont need two thumde arrestor for heaven sake

Where is Omenka or Progress abi na progressive01?
I need him to comment on this here and now!

That dude named omenka is an hypocrite,

@op u sound like you have a lot of energy drive and it's being exploited by a mean superior , close your eyes for a moment, Imagine you have a product, a brand, and you put all these energy to make it successful, verily verily I say unto thee, you would be a successful boss

Nigeria police really get time. Yesterday dem dey pursue person wey name him dog buhari, today dem dey pursue gay couple , tomorrow i wonder what will happen . dem fit dey pursue person wey steal iya basira pot of rice

Mehn, jos go make sense to live

Hillary Clinton and trump,is that the best Americans can offer as presidential candidates?
The world is surely coming to an end

omenka:
People are just so damn dumb!

First they talk as though our cultures and values are same as those of Europeans and Americans.

Secondly, if the intent of the bastard wasn't mischief, why inscribe the name on both sides of the dog?? I mean, do you name your dog and then write its name on its body

Thirdly did the incident take place in a protest where people are somewhat free to express their anger/dissatisfaction to such levels??

Was it a "stage joke"?? What parallels is there with this and the jokes on Obj??

Did the man just say "Buhari is a dog" or literally did the nonsense??

Make una continu.

Sadly you are the dumb one.
When the north is involved, we bend to please them, cos it could cause ethnic clash, cos they are the only one that have monopoly of violence.
We are copying the Europeans and Americans in a style of government called democracy, and in a saner society where democracy is practiced, naming a dog buhari should not be a nation headline. Call a spade a spade Mr man

Icon79:
Thank you! I thought I was the only one that found the whole thing strange. First of all, why give the money only to Siasia and Mikel - $200K to Siasia and $190K to Mikel. What about other members of the team? Is Mikel supposed to share his windfall with the other members? In addition, what's in it for him? Is he a fan of naija footie? Has any business dealings with Naija?

People, even billionaires, don't just randomly give away money like that. To me, there are still too many unanswered questions here!

O pari

There is nothing strange about it, it's you just reading unnecessary meaning to it. sometimes we just need to zero our mind on some gesture we don't understand , that you won't do it does not necessary mean someone else will not do it

If these athletes do not win anything, no one should blame them, no one reaps where he did not sow, if the government cannot invest in sport and expect result then they are living in a fools world
Was buhari the best candidate, APC could provide on their platform? He surely Is clueles on how to run this country to greatness

This darkness is taking too long and no one seems to see the pathway to the daylight. Yes pDP derailed this country for sixteen years like they say but most of the so called APc members that are promising us change is same people that were in pDP that derailed us for 16 years, so technically we are back to square 1 . God help us

Mynd44:
So what will be protection? A 5 star hotel in Abeokuta?

Actually, they can establish a case of it if they can prove there is malice behind it. If he has been appealed to in the interest of peace and he refused, if he has been parading such in the area even after knowing that it is offensive to his neighbors.

If there is no exhibit of the dog, there is no case, even a picture is not a case, cos pictures these days can be edited.

When people cut corners to buy substandard electrical product, this is the result. When people use quack electricians instead of qualified licensed electricians this is the output, when the standard organisation responsible to regulate such irregularities refuses to sit up Such incident will continue to reoccur, penny wise pounds foolish we all pray for 24 hours power supply but believe me, the day we achieve that, many domestic and industrial building will go up in flames, epileptic power supply is delaying the accidents waiting to happen in the future
Meanwhile check my signature if you want to go to bed and sleep in peace without fear of electrical fire

The suspect, according to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, Mr Fatai Owoseni, would be charged to court alongside 78 suspects arrested


78 suspects arrested or is this a case of junk journslism , naija police I hail thee. Who the hell make up the 78 suspects, I just dey pass, 10k I just see as e happen 5k, I just dey look 8k,

Guyoo:
Lolzzzzzzzz...... Guy take heart, i feel your pain

A girl tried to play me that way sometime ago but i kuku show am say i grow up for Aba

I invited this lady over to my house, a met her about a week before then and we will getting along on phone and chat, so i invited her over to my house, she agreed to come but started forming not understanding my house address (even though my house was on well known road, very close to a popular school in the area), she even declined to take a direct cab to my house which could have been very easy considering that cab guys all know the area.
She insisted we meet a popular fast food joint (Mr Biggs ), so we eventually me at the fast food joint, in order to at least show i care , i asked if she needed any food or drinks, which she off course said yes. To my greatest surprise she ordered for two packs of fried rice +chicken, two packs of salad, 2 pieces of meat pie, 2 sets of ice cream, 2 packs of five alive......at that point i interjected and politely asked if she is ordering for me too but she said no, that it was for her sister at home who asked her to get something for her since she was going out.....

The bills was almost 6k, i grudgingly paid and consoled myself that at least i will get my reward in kind since we are going to my house....Just as i was driving off from the fast food joint, she feigned a phone call and was talking as if she was talking to her mum, when she dropped the call, to my shock she insisted to go back to her house immediately because her mum and dad came back and want to see her immediately and as such she has to rush home, when i protested, she pleaded with me that she will come see me the following day, at that point i know it something she had already planned to fool me, so my Aba brought up sense in me kicked off, i formed as if am ok with her plan and even promised to drop her off so she can get home quickly... so i drove towards her house and stopped a local kiosk , politely asked her to help me buy mtn 200 Naira recharge, i told her i needed to be inside the car because of the traffic guys in PH who can easliy impound your car for wrong packing, so came out of the car and walked down to the kiosk to buy the card......then i engaged my gear and fired down my leg on the car accelerator....you know what that means ...off course my 6k fast food was inside my car....
Na soooo i kuku get food for three days in my house......

Lol,there was no need to fire the car, if it was me, I would drive at a pace that she will be running after the car practically

But before then, no one sees him, he is served food from underneath the door; no one is permitted to see him physically


Since when did spirit start to eat

Travelling was a wrong move, he should have waited till he had attained his citizenship in Spain. He would live to regret that move for the rest of his life.

Dayoto:
The last time i commented on this girl ish, there were millions of quotes. So...

So cowardly stick your head in between your legs

Too many karachikas on the loose end time actress

Shinkava:
oga wearing of the ring doesn't determine anything so long as 'cheating ' is concern....and I know some that doesn't wear theirs and doesn't cheat

the girl in question doesn't know he is married and the man in question does not know if to tell the girl that he is married, a ring worn would have solved the confusion.

@op bet you are one of those married men that don't wear their wedding rings.
If your wife did the same to you how would you feel?
If it's alright for your wife to do same then ride on. Otherwise put an end to it sharply, there is time to still apply damage control.
Don't forget "there is a road that seems right to a man but it only leads to doom and destruction "
A word is enough for the wise

Some People will blame BUHARI for this.....

In every bad situation, there is always the scape goat. The fall guy, that is what buharii is for now

Begging is a big time venture now, it's like a profession. I hardly give these days except if compelled by the Spirit. No one should blame the economy on that shit.

Nairaland has become a breeding ground for tribalism, level of tribal hatred stenches like a corpse, 3 million topics filled with post with hatred. I just hope this is not a reflection of the real larger society. God help us

Florblu:
Are you sure this was all that happened? Audi alteram partem(Hear both sides)
On a lighter note,if the accused is on Nairaland let's hear your side of the story.

I am practically sure it's not every story that has two sides , enjoyed your Latin quote though
