To be fair theat money is actually small....[img][/img]

The hall has a seating capacity of over 1500 and the photographer shows a small section of the hall... we all get excited..... SMH

GenBuhari: Two Questions:

What are the risks (Robbery and fraud) that Nigerians returning from abroad face?

How can these risk be minimised /managed

The only risk face is Customs at MMIA..... once u pass them u sure are fine.... and u'd be foolish to carry cash when returning with all the e-systems available now...... no one really cares about ur luggage....

fagamite: Unfortunately for you, I dont do bumper stickers. If you knew what America is like, trust me, you'd rather slave your way in America than act like a king in Nigeria

Are u freaking kidding mee? pray educate us... what is America like

Fornorth: no muslim ever insult jesus but why christian always enjoy insulting our prophet?.we can't sit and let some bastards insulting our prophet with out punishing them, by the way kudos to you libians.

Dude go take your medication!!! its dangerous to be skipping it!! Is ur prophet that powerless that he needs mere mortals to fight his battles for him.. if he is insulted why don;t he arrise and destroy those that insult himmm.....

The newss is false joorrr....

Abi na jerrycan dem use go buy the aviation fuel after the contribution??

FG is very right on this issue... How can u sieze someone's passport for 45 working days wich normally increases to 60 working days...... Why can't Canadian embassy do as US dos even if it takes 90 days to wait for an interview... And collect the passport only when you want to issue a VISA...

For those saying FG should make nigeria good first..and not bother about how canada treats us..Even if the country is very good there is something called 'Holiday' and am sure there is no crime in going abroad for holiday...

Mhenn... nice and clean video.......really impressed...

[quote author=Stella_Bella]1. Somebody fall or injure.. Nor say SORRY ... Ask am are u okay?

2. can I buy coke or mineral...... No. say ...I want soda or pop... Coke can land u in jail.

3. you have to pay tax on every item... Incuding ashewo tax.

4. Taxi na meter and the money dey start from tax not from zero

5. Have alternative for accommodation, even your brother will disappoint you and blame akata/oyinbo wife.

6. Be careful with girls some are 15 and look 30.. Them go even show u fake id..express road to jail be that.

7. If you mess, sneeze or cough...say excuse me

8. Wash all your Nigeria clothes with their detergent and softener to remove Nigeria Akpu, stock-fish, and beans smell.

9.try to learn to reduce your accent, or else u will drive taxi or sell ice cream proper.

10. Shave off all Nigeria armpit,private hair and wash yourself with their deodorant soap.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed

Just my advise
More contribution is wanted.


Have a great day![/quote]The bolded sooo verrryyyy truuuueeeee.......

abbyintuition: I'm surprised at the temper tantrums thrown here. I had received a amail frm them notifying me that they were migrating technology as a result of which transfers would not take place frm savings accounts for a while. Excerpts:

They hvnt gotten there (perfection) yet, but they are pressin toward it.

One man's food is another's poison. But i'll encourage some understanding.

Cheers nairalanders

You dont shutdown a service that is widely used indefinately (and twist peoples arms to open current accounts)..... Basic IT principles should have been followed to ensure minimum downtime, also there should be at least an estimated time where the service will come back up... GTB just proved unrealiable with this move...

Right now i hate the name GTB... tried using their master card in the UK and the my account got debited and no money come out... calling the customer care, they said it will take 45days to reverse... 45 working days.... and i was withdrawing the maximum allowed cos they charge 1k per withdrawal..
The call center girl couldnt even apologise, she just said with her straight uninterested voice, that since it was an international withdrawal i have to wait 45days...... i think its just plain madness

think you should add a POLL to this thread...

Seriously it beats me why some Nigerians are against this woman... the mere fact that the House of assembly abi senate is against her is enough reason why every Nigerian should be on her side...

lacasa: With all this tales by moonlight u typed here, let me ask u?

Wer in my post did i say northerners turned dia bak ϯo buhari

i said the northern govs did

2. Though d post election violence was highly condemned by CPC anϑ Buhari himself, miscreants n criminals hijjacked the crisis ϯo unleash their evil agendas

-
Buhari Condemns Nigeria post-election violence[size=28pt][/size]

The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) noted with concern the ongoing violent reaction on the announced results from the collation exercise currently in progress at Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The CPC has throughout its campaign preached to its supporters to eschew violence. In the circumstance we therefore, call on all our supporters to remain calm and non-violent and prepare themselves for the next round of elections on Tuesday, April 26, 2011.

CONGRESS FOR PROGRESSIVE CHANGE (CPC) MOTTO: EQUITY, PEACE AND PROSPERITY

STATEMENT BY THE CPC

1. The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) noted with concern the ongoing violent reaction on the announced results from the collation exercise currently in progress at Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

2. While appreciating the inalienable right of Nigerians in a democratic system to express their feelings in a protest against injustice, they
must never the less remain non-violent.

3. The CPC abhors violence by all Nigerians in the course of expressing grievances

4. The CPC has throughout its campaign preached to its supporters to eschew violence. In the circumstance we therefore, call on all our supporters to remain calm and non-violent and prepare themselves for the next round of elections on Tuesday, April 26, 2011.

5. All CPC supporters should come out enmasse on April 26 to vote for the CPC and overthrow those responsible for the evident injustice to our Party and the nation.

6. We also condemn in the strongest term the brutality of the security forces against unarmed protesters and innocent civilians and call on
them to show restraint in handling all situations of civil protest.

7. We call on the federal government to investigate and determine the role of the police and other security forces in the allege shooting of about 100 innocent Nigerians in Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Port Harcourt, Owerri and other
places.

​ so​ Mr "i must comment from my ass"

Read n understand b4 u use Ūя̲̅ crooked fingers ϯo type a comment

All we needed that time was for Buhari to come out early enough and beg or command his supporters to stop the violence.. cos we all know they would have listened to him but he didnt.. all those "CPC" statement count for nought

ok

MORAL LESSONS: its only one country in the world that is allowed to insult Nigeria and anything about Nigeria including our president... and that country is...NIGERIA...

dasparrow: By the way, John Dumelo's facial expression is cracking me up. His eyes are very focused on the food.

The guy is monitoring the live stock....

@OP nothing wrong with it at all... It's her house, her food, she can do whatever she pleases... Besides There are so many countries the have dishes they eat with hands

bayooooooo: It's a joke because it's an empty declaration that does not alter any political equation. Nothing short of comedy!

Very big joke .... think they just want to attract attention (international) so the UNEP money will get paid.

Its about time this news houses start getting sued so they will be more careful with their reports

chaircover: There is a zoo like this a few miles from where I live. You drive through in your car and the lions, tigers, bears and wolves are just roaming around. The monkeys are really friendly and they jump on the car lol.

In your car ke??

C1 + P = C∞

1. iBooks is the best eReader out there: To many book-lovers (me included) this happens to be one of the best apps that the iPad offers. It feels as large as a book in your hand, has a large collection of e-books and enables you to read in pitch darkness even as your significant other snoozes away peacefully. Also, the virtual bookshelf does not take up space while even a small collection of real books will eat up the free square area in your home. (and you can get a wonderful collection of free ebooks)

2. It’s a great toy for all ages. An iPad has revolutionized the toys industry. In the past, you got your child a huge, bulky toy that did and said smart things when you pressed a button, only to find that your child has gotten bored of the oh-so-expensive toy in a couple of hours. Enter iPad. Search the apps for children’s apps, and you get some 3482 results. Every app is actually a separate toy that can keep children occupied for ages, and teach them a thing or two as well, something we will explore in more detail in the next point.

3. Educational Apps. Not only is an iPad the ultimate toy with its games and activities, it is also an excellent educational device that can help your child grasp ABC’s, alif-baay-taa, spelling, math, languages, science, art and religion. It can unleash the hidden artist inside a two year-old with the added bonus that since all colour pencils are virtual, there is no way an iPad crayon will find itself writing on the wall. For a two year-old that is just learning to experiment with her fingers, what could be more fun than a screen that is so responsive it makes a line wherever she touches it? Read along stories are also excellent apps for younger users.

4. Business presentations are easier and more fun with my iPad. I load all PowerPoint slide decks on my iPad, open them in my “Keynote” app and dock my iPad to a projector using a 2k5 naira VGA adapter. Using my iPad for presentations is a timesaver because there is no boot up time. My iPad never fails to generate interest from audience participants who think it’s cool to use an iPad in a presentation. And it’s just plain fun to advance slides by touching the screen. I no longer haul my laptop on business trips. This makes getting through airport security a lot easier and faster.

5. Battery life. The iPad offers a whopping 10 hours of battery life and it lives up to its claim even after extensive use. Just to see if Steve Jobs’ claim about the battery life were in fact true, I put the device to the test, playing videos, games and TV apps. The iPad’s performance was as advertised.

6. iCloud. Apple iCloud is amazing.. u never have to lose any important data again, cos they are automatically stores on Apple’s servers many of the new files that a person loads onto a Mac, iPad or iPhone, and then make those files available on any other Apple devices owned by the same person.

7. Simplicity of the OS and web experience. The Apple iOS is neat and uncluttered and a great way to navigate the web. With most major news channels and websites, and social media networks (apart from Facebook) coming up with their own iPad apps, it is highly convenient too. Start-up and rebooting is quick and straightforward and it goes without saying: compared to a PC the iPad is ultra-portable, and very, very cool.

8. App Store. The App Store offers over 90,000 apps that can be downloaded by the users. Be it business or play or news, weather or radio, there is something for everyone whatever you need is there.

9. Better than the competition. Samsung Galaxy Tab, Motorola Xoom, RIM’s PlayBook and the Asustek’s Eee Pad Transformer are all alternates to the iPad, which is by far the most popular Tablet PC on the market. One reason for that could be that the App Store has more apps than any other competitor, and that consumers prefer the stylish hardware that Apple offers. It represented 75 per cent of all tablet PC sales in 2010.

10. …………………………..

#1 It's Expensive --- Not really..every good thing comes at a price

#2 It's Not the Best Solution for Note-Taking or Editing Documents------ (its far better than any other tablets on the market

#3 It's Too Distracting------ so is every other electronic gadget..(laptop included)

#4 It's Ultra-Portable and Ultra-Droppable------(buy a big padded pouch if you must carry something big for you not to drop it...)

#5 What Makes it Desirable to you is what Makes it Desirable to Criminals------(so is every good thing, are you saying we shouldnt buy good useful gadgets cos of criminals)

#6 It's Meant for the Enjoyment of One Person, Which Means Social Seclusion (nope u can connect it to a large screen if u want) your phone and laptop is still same

#7 Digital Text Books are a Marvel, but There's No Secondary Market----(dont understand this grammar... in fact ones u have a copy of an eBook u cand distribute 2million copies of same try that a hardcopy book)

#8 It's a Status Symbol, Plain and Simple (Definately not... its inferiority complex that makes one think like this)

#9 It'll Already be Old Technology by the Time You Buy It (Noooooooo....)

#10 You will also need a laptop whether you like it or not. (yeeaaaa very true)
