Same here. I left GTB because of their long queue. I cant stand it

lalasticlala let nairalanders say their mind o

Long queues does not necessarily imply poor customer service. It sometimes a result of the no customers

Hello House, Please I am looking for folks who are professionals in terrazzo flooring. I have searched the whole of the forum and I have not found any one of such. The ones I saw are really old posts and its difficult to contact them..
I have seen really nice terrazzos that have been made to look like granite and the lay was so neat and smooth on the floor. It was just a sight to behold and I am sure if these guys really up their game up, we should see Terrazzo coming back to grace our floors again. There are too many not so nice tiles out there these days.

If you are an expert in Terrazzo flooring or you know guys who do so, please drop you contact and I would call you. I have a 3 floor building and I want to floor it.

My cousin is into Terrazzo, but he's in Ado-Ekiti

Mr. Adedotun is one of the Proteges of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu... I know The Jagaban still has a lot of influence in this government.

You can lie. You mean that old man is BAT's protege? Someone that was CEO of Arthur Anderson/Accenture for over 20 years.

In my own opinion, Lagos state is not suppose to be a state after the capital was transferred to Abuja. They should have made it an Annex of the countries capital or call it Nigeria's industrial capital cos I don't see what really the state govt is doing to to generate such huge money used for budget. 90% of internally generated revenue are of federal standard and comes from all parts of the country. every state imports through Lagos and they indirectly enjoy the wealth of the whole nation. So many cooperate headquarters are all in Lagos... The state govt sing praises from doing nothing to generate revenue. The revenues are federal government made.
NB: I said in my own opinion
Lagos should be industrial capital of Nigeria and should be removed from state level.

The income from the Port goes to Federal government, yet has to contend with frequent road repairs. All of the V.A.T goes to the federal government, Lagos asked for 1% which was rejected on the floor of the house. A large chunk of the income from Lagos goes to the federation purse, yet Lagos gets nothing.

All the pastors appointed senior pastors are from the south west and yet redeemed is supposed to be a national church with major contributors and members from other parts of Nigeria.. We are learning..

godoluwa:
The same Wale Babalakin that wasted many lives?
Wale Babalakin(Bi-courtney) & Olusegun Obasanjo baba Iyabo(former President) embezzled the money meant for reconstruction of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

Why are you spreading lies? Are you not aware it was Yar'adua's government that conceded the road to Bi-Courtney. The government didn't invest a kobo, rather Jonathan's government refused to approve the road design.

NB: Please is there any University in Nigeria currently offering Msc or PGD in Logistics and Supply Chain Management?

Check Abti-American University, Yola. School fee shouldn't be more than 15million naira

Bolustic:
Some people will be watching while the so called Afonja and Aboki companies submit their bids, later they will be shouting "our oil money" & "marginalization"

Well, it's their problems, they are used to collecting amnesty.

The newspaper is just being mischievous. We have Uche Ogah's Master Energy, Winifred Akpani's North West Petroleum and Brittania-U owned by a certain Uju

The Minister of State for Petroleum, Mr. Ibe Kachikwu, has inaugurated the Ikwe-Onna Modular Refinery in Akwa Ibom State.
Kachikwu, who commended the promoters of the $50million refinery, said the Federal Government was ready to support any private sector-driven venture.
Governor Udom Emmanuel and Science and Technology Minister, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu and others witnessed the opening.
The governor lauded the management of the refinery for supporting his vision to industrialise the state.
The Chairman, Foreign Direct Investment Committee, Mr. Gabriel Upkeh, represented the governor.
He said: “Government’s role is to provide social services and a conducive environment for industries to thrive. When the refinery is completed, it will provide employment and open up the area for other economic benefits.”
He urged youths in the community to cooperate with the contractors handling the project.
“We have endeavoured to keep our campaign promises by executing some laudable projects in infrastructure, agriculture and other areas,” he added.
Onu, who was also represented by an official of the Technology Incubation Centre, Mr. Ini Nya, urged those interested in refinery business to follow the due process set by the Federal Government.
The managing director of the company, Mr. Daminago Ogaji explained that: “The refinery is 100 per cent owned by the Niger Delta and would serve as a Federal Government’s model for the entire area.
Ogali explained: “It is starting with a capacity of 5,000 barrels per day (BPD) and would be increased to 20, 000 barrels in its midterm until its target of 100,000 bpd is achieved.
“The model is different because we have brought in the community as co-partners who would be given 10 per cent of the company’s profit.”
On the issue of militancy, he explained that the local community was made a part owner to enable them work as a family.
“We also intend to train the local boys because a local content developed company would be set up to produce about 80 percent of the materials needed for the operations,” he said.
He explained that tank farms and pipelines are some of the things that would be produced locally, leaving about 30 per cent of the needed materials to be sourced from outside the state.
Chairman of the company, Bassey Rex, said: “The refinery would support the state’s government efforts to develop the state.

Throwback photos of Ex-model and Nigeria's Top Blogger, Linda Ikeji at the 2003 Miss Nigeria Pageant.

Linda Ikeji has really come a long way.

She posted the photos on her Instagram page and wrote;

[b]"This is me participating at the 2003 Miss Nigeria pageant. I desperately wanted to win because I believed I could use the platform to achieve my other dreams..but I didn't even make Top 10 & I remember thinking it was the end of everything I had planned for my future. I felt like a failure for weeks following the pageant. I was mostly in a daze, wondering what to do next. I thought being Miss Nigeria was the best thing that could happen to me. If only I knew that God had better plans for me. Because you see, if I had won that pageant, I never would have - 3 years later - thought of starting a gossip blog. I probably would have thought it was beneath me as a former queen...lol. You see, sometimes, some of the most amazing blessings happen when things don't turn out the way we hoped it would. We think its the end when its just a bend leading us through the right path. You have to trust that God knows what He's doing in your life. Trust Him and trust your journey. All the best!"[/b]

So I'm not surprised

So children of Pastors and Alfa's don't die?

Geraldyne:
Hi,
Its not a friends story or from a blog,its mine and I want you all to read and give me matured advice.

I've been in a relationship for almost 8 months now and everytime I go to visit my boyfriend..he must demand sex,even if I say am on my period.
Sometimes I just get furious and say am no longer interested in the relationship and he starts begging and because I love him, I forgive him.
He'll stop that for a while,then start it all over again.

He doesn't consider my feelings at times, there was a certain time I was still mourning the death of my cousin,he came around and after symphatizing with me,he wanted us to have sex..Gosh! I was so pissed.

The one that pissed me off the most was last night,after having like 5 rounds,I felt sore all over, I told him that and he stopped,then this morning, while I was trying to pray,he started touching me again saying he wants me.

I don't just understand whether this is normal,sometimes I just displease myself to please him but still he's not satisfied.

Am confused on whether to quit or not,cos apart from the sex thing,he still has his good sides and I dont want to make a wrong decision.

pls advice a confused sister...thanks

5 times? Don't you have a job? He sure doesn't love my dear. And you sef

He deserves it.........

I gat no chill fo Tinubu.......He alone went out to sell out SW cheaply to Cattle Farmer of Daura....!!!

Today Lagos is going down the Mallams way......!!!!

Almajiris killed plenty Yorubas on 2/7/16.....Tinubu could not cough..
All the ''Messenger'' positions at Federal level are all filled by Yorubas despite their over qualified folks around.... Tinubu turned deaf and dumb.
The only time he found his voice was to harass Kachikwu and Oyegun.....his fellow Southerners just as he did to GEJ.....

Karma is a Nigerian.....yep he is.....

What is fellow Southerner? Why didn't you ask Jonathan's minister for works why he stoped the construction of Sagamu - Benin expressway at Edo state boundary? Where is the Southern love/solidarity? My guy, all man for himself

DonaldGenes:
See how they are reeling the money as if the Fed Generated the whole money not forgetting 70% of that money(monthly) comes from Akwa Ibom ALONE And the rest from Delta, PH, Bayelsa,EDo.Ironically as it sounds, these few states are being sidelined, No meaningful Federal Presence at all...

Anyway, that time will definitely come

Edo? Are you kidding me? We have 4 big oil producers; Akwa Ibom, Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers. The next to this 4 is Ondo State.

awelekiti:
Congrats to him. I'm not surprised though. The day I got to know this man was (and still is)the owner of gatwick airport in UK, one of the busiest airports in Europe, I was amazed. We've really got a lot of silent, successful Nigerians out there, doing us proud. His wife is the owner of Ruff ''N'' Tumble, a famous kids' outfit in Nigeria.

Oga don't spread lies na. Ruff "N" Tumble's husband owns Sofisticat, they are also Ogunlesi. Don't be too quick to say things you aren't sure of.

chuksey1:
i thought a person with criminal recods cannot be called to bar. so corruption is not a crimel. Nigeria my country.. Law is meant only for the poor.

Criminal record? That's the sad thing about Nigeria, once there's an allegation you are assumed guilty.

Power problem that pdp has destroyed as a matter of fact.

Its easy to destroy something completely and be expecting one stupid Superman to come and make it work in 6months.

Its a normal thing for any serious government to make power generation work in that time frame.
I could remember when Bola Ige was Mimister of power then during Obasanjo,he promised us 8months then .
That was when it was easy to do if they were serious but what did they do? They kept on giving us false hope . now what do we have??

Before you wrongly accuse Bola Ige, what was the cost of 1 bbl of crude oil. There was little or no money during Obasanjo's first tenure. The price of crude started rising after the invasion of Iraq

nmreports:
Of course GTBANK in my experience.
That is for walk in customers.
Those guys handling their emails however are awesome.

The problem with GTB is the sheer number of customers they have to attend to. If 1/3 of GTB customers move to banks like UBA, their system will crash

firstolalekan:
See him talking

Old senile wicked BASTÀRD foolìsh rogue.

Obasanjo is the BASTÀRD that started corruption in the national assembly.
The idìot was the one that introduced "ghanamustgo" money sharing there.

OBJ'S ACHIEVEMENT IN 8 YEARS 1999 to 2007

#INCREASED PETROL PRICE FROM (21 NAIRA IN 1999 TO 87 NAIRA IN 2007)
#SOLD BAKASSI PENINSULA
#SOLD NITEL
#SQUANDERED 16 BILLION DOLLARS ON POWER
#SCATTERED PENSION SCHEME E.T.C

Later, some fooIs will come here and say "he gave us GSM"
How the hell on earth did obj give us GSM? Is he mtn, glo, econet etc
USELESS BABOON.

Scattered pension? Sold Nitel? Are you sure?

Grundig:
Managing the resources of a small coven like ogun state is a different ball game. Kemi may have excelled as the commissioner for finance in ogun state but minister for finance in Nigeria is a different ball game.

This is not a fault of hers but that of Buhari who put square pegs on round holes.

In my opinion, she should be head of an agency within a ministry not a substantial head of a complex ministry.

Emefiele would've been sacked a long time ago if buhari had the powers. Too bad, emefieles current tenure will expire same year as buharis regime.

Vp osinbajo should step aside as head of the economic team. He is a professor of law for heavens sakes.

Do you know our constitution? Atiku, and Jonathan as VP were both head of economic council. The only deviation is Samboribo. Buhari is not doing Osinbajo any favours.

TheSuperNerd:
Mercy Akide made global headlines more than any other African Female footballer. She led The Super Falcons to the Quarters of USA 99 (Fifa WWC)- best ever finish by an African women's team - AND also to the Quarters of the Olympics @ Athens 2004 - Best ever finish by an African women's team at the Olympics.

She always banged in goals against the big guns like USA, Norway and even Sweden. She had 2 Women's WC goals (Nigeria's highest goalscorers at the world cup are Rita Nwadike-3 and Nkiru Okosieme-3).

She also scored 4 times at the Olympics (twice in Sydney 2000 against Norway and China PR, and twice at athens 2004 against Sweden in the first round and Germany in the Quarters). She's Nigeria's and Africa's highest goal bangers olympics-wise.

She won the Caf women's best player award once because that was the period of her twilight years and had the award been awarded since 1995, Akide would have raked it at least 4 times. (Perpetual raked it four solid times)

She made waves in the Women's league in America and was the first Nigerian and African to take the American women's soccer league by "heavy storm" doing great things for San Diego Spirits and Hampton road piranhas. She's also a pelican stars/Jegede babes/Ufuoma babes ex-super star.
Her CAF AWCON goals record stand at 18 goals (not counting her goals exploits at AWCON 1995 when she was just 19 coz I dont have the records from '95 off-hand).

...............

Perpetual Ijeoma Nkwocha made more headlines on the African continent than Akide ever did and also did get the global attention but not exactly like Akide.

Perpetual Nkwocha is the record goals Queen of the CAF AWCON with 34 goals in all. SHE SHATTERED AKIDE'S GOALS RECORD TO PIECES AND HAS 80 INTERNATIONAL GOALS IN 99 APPEARANCES FOR THE SUPER FALCONS. She "possibly" outscored Marvellous Mercy in the Green and white of the Super Falcons. (Will dig out mercy's stats for the Super falcons overall later... It's kinda tough to do).

Her career began with the Falcons from Sydney 2000 where she scored against USA in a 3-1 loss at the olympics. Nigeria got 3 goals at sydney 2000 (guessed who scored the other two? Akide ).

AWCON 2002 was Perpetual's First major impact at the AWCON as her four goals alongside Akide's 3 goals inspired Nigeria to a 5th AWCON triumph.

Perpetual holds so many records:

-She has one Women's World Cup goal (scored against Canada in 2011 edition).

- She has one Olympics women football goal (scored against Brazil at Beijing 2008).

- She has 34 AWCON goals.

- She holds the record for the best/highest goals scored in a single AWCON edition (11goals at the 2010 Awcon).

- She holds the record for the second best/highest goals scored in a single AWCON edition (9 goals at the 2004 Awcon). Marvellous Mercy had 8 goals at one single edition (in 1998).

- She holds the record for most number of goals in a single final (4goals vs Cameroun at Awcon 2004).

- She holds a joint record for most goals scored in a single AWCON game with ASISAT OSHOALA (4 goals)

- She won five AWCON titles (2002, 2004, 2006, 2010, and 2014). Marvellous mercy won four (1995, 1998, 2000, 2002).

- She won Four CAF best women's player awards. (2004, 2005, 2010, 2011).

-She also won the All Africa games women's Gold in 2007 and topped the scorers' chart.

....................


Summarily... Both are super legends and It's almost like a draw....

But on the whole combining both Continental and Global paramenters/factors, I think Akide edges Nkwocha "Slightly"... BUT IN OSHOALA, WE HAVE A PLAYER WHO CAN GO ON AND SURPASS BOTH.

...............
Other Nigerian women's soccer legends who deserve mentions are:

-Rita Nwadike

-Nkiru Okosieme

-Stella Mbachu

-Maureen Madu

-Uche Euharia

-Ann Agumanu Chiejine

-Florence Omagbemi

-Patience Avre

-Yinka Kudaisi

-Effioanwan Ekpo

-Marvis Ogun

Etc, etc... Etc...

You forgot Kikelomo Ajayi?
