Over There

thedarksider:
even with all this inventions,we still overran you....

you may have the brains,but we have the numbers....dont underestimate us....

dont you think its a better idea to combine brains and numbers than fighting each other the ol time??..

Have you ever seen where a party threatens another into a equal partnership?

This country will not work with thinking like yours.

Good going to the NPF. Great one

IBATTRAVELS:
Why picking a fight with me and why getting so upset. Its impossible to be denied a visa without the embassy stating a reason for denial. Please go to VSF office that represent france embassy, meet with the staff and ask if its possible, you will know what i mean. and please if you like to reply this post, do it without using abusive word, please.

sheriff

Please show me where I insulted you in that post??

And yes my guy it's possible to deny Visa on flimsy discretionary grounds because honestly that's the power of the embassy.

Dongreat:
As much as I would love to see em participate in the competition, every country has rules governing immigration. Meet those rules and you will be allowed entry. I am certain they didn't meet the rules and this may be in regards to funding as every country knows that if its not Nigeria politicians, fed sponsored, others have a higher chances of absconding or claiming asylum. Better luck next time as said. Who knows it might be a blessing in disguise, as the Olympic embarrassment might come to mind.

What sort insulting and condescending tone is this?? You the WORLD FUCCKING CHAMPIONS HAVEN'T TRAVELLED ABROAD BEFORE?

My friend better borrow brain, you see where he states that the embassy did NOT give any REASON why they were. denied visas and you have effrontery to post this rubbish!?

France.... take the Scrabble and rot! We remain the champions!

Turds

This policy will work.

BUT APC OR PDP HAD NOTHIJG TO DO WITH IT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL!!!

This is the brainchild of the Lagos state government which continues to act like the most innovative African government. This state is a model that all others should weep about whenever they look at themselves! How can your mate be progressing so much and you are there struggling to pay salaries

I know Lag has ports, former capital territory status and old business institutions but it also has massive overcrowding, a receding shoreline, terrible infrastructure burden and reoccurring crime neither does it has land or natural resources (except very, very recent oil).

The SE must compete with only Lagos in Nigeria, there's no other thing to look towards.

Well this is what I expect and I hope there is no needless padding drama anymore.

But this finance minister... I have no confidence in her anymore. I need to know how she is focusing the economy and stimulating it in the short term. I keep hearing about the construction and what have you, but if it isn't massive and concurrent it will not have the required impact.

How is this news? Of course it'd be a setup.

IT ti take over!!!
All those people hoping to be bank staff... e won't happen like that.

Big ups to them and their families. Koreans are notoriously narrow-minded in marriage concerns and rarely encourage marriage with other Asians, talk more of European and African nationalities.

Again, big ups to them

HARDBOI:
i dont know when u guyx will stop remove sentiments in this country and stop being biased..

obviously u saw dat phyno appeared twice ther unlike d other 2
meaning that having phyno in the concert should be A MUST.

i tire for una

No vex, he just didn't answer it very directly but he meant Phyno and FALZ, so that's who he chose. Please just tell us which combo you would prefer. Thanks a lot guys


@Veekid, guy no vex me sef been make the mistake of thinking you didn't get the question. Thanks for the reply.

So a pal of mine just started his event company in Abuja and he is looking to assess which would be a better sell between a concert featuring OLAMIDE & PHYNO, or FALZ & PHYNO??

The event is slated to take place in Abuja and he is also thinking of supporting them with a lesser caliber third guy to balance out the dynamics. So please guys tell me what you think.

FYI, I'm just helping a friend and I'm not working for his company so please don't get the wrong idea.

Thanks.

fiizznation:
Good. Next time he should name his pet any of his leaders name and nobody will have any problem with him. Stupid fool. The money he would have used in chartering for his pregnant wife is now been use for 'irrelevant' case like this. You don't go about looking for trouble and expect the law to clap for you.

You are better than this. I know you are.

Let the APC boss be there saying that those doing their jobs are irresponsible. PDP already apologized through Dopkesi and they are trying to move on, if not for that pesky Sheriff. Either way, if they seem a better party in 2019, we will vote them, I voted APC last year cause I didn't trust a word out of the PDP. Times have changed yesterday, these days I will look to 3rd and 4th options too.

As a former head of state this Gowon fellow rankles me. His home is aflame with Fulani terrorists and the likes burning it up and all he does is sit inside his comfy home and shout one Nigeria when he feels the need to be heard and "we are heroes" whenever the odd interview comes his way. He keeps calling for prayers and does nothing about the rot and filth in this nation....of all the ex leaders he is the worse.

This is super awesome! I think this FC Ubah is worth checking out and I swear I will watch them and Rangers live this year. We need to support our teams and give them more exposure. We can't develop the EPL and the expense of our homeboys.

I wonder why he, Abdulsalam, is doing this now. I mean touring the SE. I don't want to believe he is making a political comeback, cos he doesn't have any clout. Them go just chop him money.

To all those to lazy to read:

"The resident pastor, Oladela Paul who narrated to NSCDC Lagos Commandant, Tajudeen Balogun, who led the operation, said that the church had sent a formal complain to Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC when they noticed the well was filled with PMS. He lamented that months after writing the NNPC for solution, the Church was yet to get any response from the Corporation, adding “well has become a source of harassment to the church and our members".


The oil is LEAKING INTO THE WELL.

Endtime title tinz.

MrTruth4real:
U are right, but our police is currently not capable of doing such.

The police is wholly and fully capable of performing these tasks and it does so already. In fact if has a fleet of 13 helicopters and over 40 pilots on its roster. The problem is funding... because its funding is tied to the police force, the Air Wing rarely has the ability to perform independent operations.

Kano sent the film village packing, yet can't run a proper childcare system...


The God of vengeance that will strike these people is the same one they pray to.

She may not have the perfect face but her actions definitely befit the most beautiful girl in Abuja today.


That said, all the media hype... totally unnecessary bruh

Quakertellicus1:
The governor stated that the agreement between the apex bank and the pilgrims had been concluded even before the commencement of the implementation of the new flexible foreign exchange policy.

He said the pilgrims had earlier in the year made what he described as “advance payment” for their personal travel allowances, noting that in the current circumstances, the advance payment made was $750 per pilgrim.

The governor explained that the advance payment was made by the pilgrims to the respective state pilgrims’ boards, after which the requests were passed by the states to the national body.

According to him, since the agreement was made in April when the market rate was N197 to a dollar, it would be unethical not to honour it.

Emefiele said refusing to provide foreign exchange to the pilgrims at the N197 per dollar agreed rate would mean that the pilgrims would have to pay the difference between the old and new rates.




Explanation assimilated, and accepted.

Nigerians and misinterpretation. Some people obviously want to start a religious war in this country.

The question is "Would a manufacturer or businesses that need dollars have the same license to pre-order an agreed sum, and pay only the past sum?"

It's not Nigerians or religion at fault, it's this stupid government which is bent on destroying all industries.

MorningLight:
And then you'll go live in a country where there's disciple if not more discipline...

You guys still don't want to stop behaving like goats... stop pissing in public places... stop disturbing the neighbourhood with blaring musics.. stop throwing dirts by the roadside... doing parties right in the middle of the road.. And then you want to go to a country where you'll serve jail term if you're caught doing all of these.....
Now who's the goat..??

After stopping all this will food appear on the table? Dollar go fall? Health care will be better delivered at least?

Who social responsibility epp in times of hunger my guy?

abdurrazaq:
I always try my best to shun hypocrisy. That being said, I don't think there was any embarrassing moment of sports that I blamed on the last administration in here or elsewhere. Whoever is in charge does not matter to me, I TRY to be objective when I criticize or praise and administration.
My point is that such delay can happen to any country but, that should not be our concern rather, the team's performance should be our focus

This team relied on donations to train, and then relied on charity to travel...

How is that not a cause for concern

But e Don do, I'm not looking to raise issues with the likes of you.

abdurrazaq:
Nigeria once play a football match with tracksuit trousers cut with scissors. What is left in our memory is the victory and not the outfit.
Even if they wear Secondary school uniform, what matters most is their performance.
Hopefully, these delays, errors and ill-preparedness will spur the team to attain greater heights

I hope you said the said during the last administration's failures and embarrassing moments. If you didn't...well I don't want to call names but it does speak well of anyone's character to speak from both sides of the mouth at once.

There's always more to this than meets the eye.

My Oga,
I agree with you that all country rely on importation but the difference is what they import.
A country should import Raw Material not Finished Goods
It is much cheaper to import raw material (Compare much much we sell our crude oil and
the amount we pay for the end product; Petrol, Diesel, Gas, etc)
That is the reason Dangote & Innoson are surviving in the business.

The policy to increase import duties is a strategic one

Import duties weren't just increased, exchange rate was also and the CBN refused to protect items already bought and enroute which weren't previously blacklisted.

arresa:
Fayose, ipobs, ugu chasers and disgruntled elements, how market now...

I don't see FBI...

Feel free to enter lagoon if you must....

... Good for her. While she's there maybe she can help out our beggar Olympians.

bonechamberlain:
Though qualified, but why this old grand dad, heading a modern outfit. Why.

Qualified to do what?? In the National Communication Commission?? Does he use an iPad and can he wrap his mind around the concept of Wi-Fi

This is a perversion.

NameChecker:
The disadvantages of import:
1.Foreign goods are substituting the domestic goods' markets，so the domestic industries (Innoson & Co) are eliminated.
2.Trade deficit will cause the currency devaluation, inflation (Nigeria's Current Problem).
3.The importing of important industries will lose the influence by importing country.

If you still don't understand that the increment is a deliberate measure to discourage importation,
then you know nothing, I repeat, nothing.

***Culled from ECO 101***

Do u imagine innoson and other manufacturers do not import too? or are their products assembled all parts 100% fabricated here in Nigeria? My uncle is a manufacturer and nearly lost his business because he sent for components to be crafted in Germany due to the specialist specifications, if the items didn't arrive on time it would be a different story today.

Every country on earth imports!! Yes we do a lot more than we should but this is not the way to solve the situation. What about drugs for cancer etc and hospital perishables that are all imported? Wicked suddenly develop cancer research centers with 50 years of experience and corporate practice and stop importing drugs


This President is hell bent on destroying his own goodwill again....

Ferraricash:
This is interesting. Does anyone know if Canada is offering scholarship training in any aviation courses, any other country as well? I will be happy to find out if there is any scholarship training at the moment. IATA,FAAN etc.

Most likely no. These bodies don't run those sorts of programs. Your best bet would be through your state government or interventionist government parastatals like the NDDC

ObaKlaz:
I doubt if this is going to weaken Donald Trump...

The man probably released them himself to divert attention from his faux pas with the Khan family and also to make the DNC lose media steam. He is playing a dangerous game because so of his followers are core Christians who may not respond to this kinda advertising.

sapiosexual1:
I see no reason why we're closing our mission in Ukraine and Brazil. We have many students in Ukraine, who worepresent their interests?
I thought the government initially had plans on importing Brazilian grass, has that plan been jettisoned? Brazil is a south American power house, with an expanding economy, we could use their diplomacy in international issues.
By the way, what happened to middle eastern and Arab countries like Oman, Iran, Iraq etc, what's their economic or diplomatic value to us?

This comment is why you are sapiosexual.

What criteria did the government use to assess that BRAZIL, the country where we are about to visit for the Olympics, is not worth anything to us? Isn't this the same country with Petrobras, The National oil company that we so admire and are trying to have the NNPC emulate

I am so beyond frustrated with this... what kind of myopia is this?? Coming from Onyeama this is unacceptable!!!

I'd argue that African missions be the first to go sef... at least in places like Algeria, etc.

This country beats me down each morning, it's too mentally, emotionally and spiritually abusive.
