I am stunned by the quantum of dust raised by this anti-LGBT law. Whether you are in support of the bill or not, the law has come to stay. If you are strong-head I bet you'll sure head-butt jail. It's not a bad record anyway to be the first to be jailed in this crusade. It is sad some of us are still living in the colonial era. Christ! Nigeria is a sovereign nation. I am outta here. It is reek of Armchair analysts and West arse-lickers.

I have been faffing, arguing endlessly in the politic section. Mehn, this graphic section is like a forbidden fruit. Just a bite and my eyes were cleared.

This is where NL is. Exciting, enlightening and inspiring. I long for a career in professional graphic and 3D Animation. I have been learning Corel Draw all by myself. I must say I have learnt a whole lot of simpler ways to manipulate drawings.

Guys you are wonderful

Ugo_2u, Charlisco and host of others, I am not ashame to say, YOU ARE MY SHINING STARS. I'll eternally appreciate your efforts here. Some of us have been known to be frugal with imparting knowledge. Here we are, you guys are doing it enthusiastically and efforlessly. God will not fail to meet your need.

I know you see your efforts as nothing, but you have empowered some people. Guys you are worth more than thanks.

my regards cool dudes.

There is no point seeking e-sympathy on NL. NL can never help you land softly or win the war against gay. If you think you are tough, ply your trade in the open and see what the govt will do otherwise go to court and get your grievances redressed.

Sodomy will always be met with cold minds in Nigeria. The world is big enough for whoever is not accepted in a certain locality due to perceived differences to find a convenient locality.

Pagan, pls, let it go.

Love will always conquer hate. Love is the greatest weapon to your enemy. If we continue with jungle justice of responding to hate with hate, when will the circle of hate ever end? Let's build a better world. Let the past be past, act now and save tomorrow.

Iya ctjs is a sister, she needs us. Welcome to Nigeria - Africa. You don't need much lecture to mix with Nigerians. Just a simple courtesy which I believe you have as a matured adult.

Human right in the west is fast eroding the value system of the west. It negates the principles of the founding fathers.

Don't animals have rights? How does a horse accept or consented to have sex with Human? Have animals languages been known to be understood? This is an obvious rape and abuse on animals. George Bush as a white president  was able to overcome some of the excesses of the Human right groups. Who is Obama tryn to impress? It is becoming reprehensively embarrasing. Social and Moral anarchy has come to stay with the west. The foundation has crumbled.

The silicon and plastic (Artificial) women,

This is indeed absurd and ludicrous. Can the OPC match matchets with Bombs and bozooka? For Christ sake, it is unthinkable for them to think they can stop these guys (Boko haram). Boko Haram is a terrorist group with sophisticated sponsors both internal and external. OPC is local fetish militia group. It is our so called politicians that can undo the activities of the Boko Haram.

I would have loved to contribute but the letter was quite lengthy and boring. maybe next time

Mukina is good to go

@Psstylish,
You have your reasons and unfortunately,your posts from your experiences were negative ones.however,you also tend to GENERALISE that all okada riders are the same.I quite disagree for the following reasons.
1.If okada riders are been issued licences and "riders card"by lagos govt,why didn't the same govt utilise the revenue generation agency I.e "riders card permit" to have them trained before issuing the permits?.afterall,before u can be issued a license u were meant to have pass driving test supervised by VIO or accredited driving schools.
2.If govt don't improvise and utilise taxes been paid to make affordable educational institutions,such as universities,then the need of skill acquisition centers with standby job placement or finance support should be made available and properly monitored to see the right people actually get what the govt meant for them.its on this note I doff my hat for the deputy gov. Adebimpe.I know of many people wjo successfully webt through thsi training and were sponsored to dubai and soouth korea by lagos state govt.however,do yoiu know now that before u can be admitted into this skill centers,you must be connected or pay eventually?m
3.Matured okada riders are mindful of the way the ride on routes,except for most of the abokis and area boys,who rides and speeds excessively.which is why whenever u board a bike or okada,be ready to control him.otherwise,alight and board another.on our routes,is it commercial drivers that drives crazy and against traffic most times?how many of them have gov fashola single handedly arrested?oh hoo,ccos they owned by party members and supporters under the banner of AGBEROS.confirm if they do not have an office at alausa,where they daily make remittance to selected govt officials purse and treasuries.
4.Riding okada for commercial means have become source of employment for several families.takign it away from them means,asking them to come and fight for their means of livey hood.
Banning okada is not the solution.train and educate them first,even before issuing them riders card permit to which they also pay for.then they will become less menace to the society.

You are right on point bro.

Okada should be banned.

The truth is Okada does more harm than Good. How? I will explain:
1. Okada has truncated the destinies of many by either sending them to their early graves or to Gbobi (Orthopaedic hospital).Personally, I have seen a lady shriek to death on the asphalt road while the rider sat calmly on the road kerb.What an horror it was!
Okada can never be safe.Never.Ones body is the body. I pray before climbing one and dictate the speed to the rider the extremely few times I engage them.I'll rather trek especially if I know my destination.

2. Okada has made Nigerians abandon the very healthy habit and exercise of trekking.Nigerians are now so lazy as they cant even undergo a paltry 5km trek.This has impacted negatively on their general health and wellbeing.

3. Okada has increased crime rate significantly.

4. Okada riders take the law into their hands very often especially after an accident notwithstanding who was right or wrong.

5. The advent of Okada has seriously reduced the number of school drop outs and others who should have taken to apprenticeship and learnt one useful skill or the other.Instead they all go for the easier cheaper option of riding Okada and making quick money. This in turn reduces the number of available skilled labour in the country and affects our economy negatively. For how long can anyone ride Okada.

Parting shot
Let Okada be banned in Lagos and other major cities nationwide.It is not compulsory to stay in Lagos.Anyone who can not make a honest living from doing some skilled job or trade in Lagos should go back home and farm.
Enough said for now.

Please sir, the above not so brave a comment. You are looking at this okada issue at a very negative perspective, even when the gain outweigh the lost. Life is risk and it is risky not to take the risk. You may wish to know, with the advent of okada business a lot of life advertently been saved due to restiveness of jobless Lagosians in which violent crimes to eke out a living would have been an unjustifiable option left for them. It is no doubt that the okada riders have contributed their quota to nation building. With the right policies in place their importance in the Nigerian economy cannot be over-emphasized considering the moribund/dearth of our public transportation system, which constrained on social and business endeavours. It can be better.

There is no other person to be e-recognised than ugo_2u. he has been so inspiring in the section. Members may disagree but he is my conviction. Personally, he is my inspiration in Graphic section

let's see pictures to believe your story. Let not start casting aspersions

190 you sure are in hot okro soup

190_@:

with what you just said
I think i have made a very BIG MISTAKE in my current relationship

190 what mistake? she made you a PATM (Private Automatic Teller Machine)? if money grew on trees she would ve made love to monkeys,

the op is just delusional. it's a display of insecurity and inferiority complex. Why expect so much from a common bf, even if in a committed relationship? for goodness sake, your bf is not your dad, neither is he your uncle or brother. being in a relationship with you does not mean he should carry all your financial burdens. what you need most in that relationship is the emotional supports. it takes too to tangle. both work seamlessly to make the relationship works. you are not doing your bf a favour by accepting him in the relationship. it should be out of love that you opt to accept him. you are really getting it twisted here op. i did not dig your point.

Excessive demands in a relationship, living above reality as a lady betrays a relationship. i should give as a bf when i feel it is necessary, but not wasting the limited resources cos you want to live the trends. supports should be two ways. Excessive demand comes with a price to most guys, slavery, not just sex but psychological.

please, op should understand that generosity or philanthropy and giving to gf are entirely different things. it should not be mixed up.
Being financially leveraged as a lady will earn you respect from guys. but when you begin to beg guys for money even to the least thing as call cards, i tell you guys make you are cheap bowel for the village spit. it is a smack of irresponsibility on a ladies part. Think about ladies.

this is 21 century, where lies ladies empowerment when they still stick to apron string of men for finances.

Must GEJ be emotional about issues? Bianca should merit the portfolio and not compensated just becos she lost her husband.

BB deliver mail online real time through push technology. BBM allow you to connect with people all over the world real time (ping). BB useage is cheaper you can download unlimited data for max 3k. Depend on your knowledge you can:
Browse
bookmark
game
picture
music
online radio
news
mail
and so many other thir party enable software

all these can be done by any phone even chinese phones. Nothing too special about BB. I have used it before dumping it. The only thing (which of course can be done by any java-enabled phone) is the BBM for pinging. What is pinging on BB if you dont have peeps with BB phones. Nothing too special about BB. It is just overrated in Naija.

There is no crime in Liverpool maintaining the winning streak against chelsea. Liverpool is sure to win

Why not think about ourselves, our salvation cos' we cannot buy salvation for others (than dabbling into things we ourselves dont understand). I doubt if there is any righteous person, if there is, that's the person i'll sure be convinced about his views.

whether you believe in infant baptism or not, it is not a guarantee to salvation but our personal life with God. Needless discussing this. of course, we free to interpret it the way we feel should be interpreted.

@OP,

I like it. I think what we need in Nigeria are a set of huge[b] what-to and how-to manuals[/b] to immune the Judiciary off corruption.

Did mister A steal 1billion naira? If proven yes, then how many years does that attract in the manual. This way a culprit can't bribe a judge to send him to prison for 6 months or pay a fine after stealing billions of Naira.

Don't know much about the penal codes but I don't think such crime for punishment details are this precise. And precision is just what we need to fight corruption.

no option for plea bargain since all and sundry is aware of the punishment for such crime. but the problem is nigerians leaders have retarded ways of misinterpreting laws to suit their actions.

community service should also be added as a punishment after jail term has been served (for public office holders). if a convicted public officer holder is made to wash public toilets or clean gutters or sweep streets for a period of 1yr, i think this will serve a big deterrent to others. It is the most debacle and embarrassing debasing and demotion ever self-inflicted. Their pictures snapped by the public while they are working will sure pull the largest comments on facebook.

I foresee wolves leaving the pitch a better team than chelsea. Chelsea's resilience has been watered. their midfield of recent has been disarrayed. the need to go back to the drawing board and tidy up the lose end

Love him or loathe him, Oxford and Sandhurst graduate Odumegwu Ojukwu was a military officer of keen mind, great conviction and yes, outstanding bravery, for he knew not only when to fight and advance, but also when to retreat and cut losses.

Later days Ikemba sir.    May your children live long and bear your name with pride.

, and gallantry, that's the perfection description of Odimegwu Ojukwu. his death has not been confirmed yet. I reserve my eulogy
