TravelRe: 10 Most Beautiful Cities In Nigeria. by Laid2001: 3:57pm On May 28, 2016
Surely you don't know Ibadan.!
I have been to virtually all states in five regions of Nigeria apart from few in the north west (sokoto etal) and I can tell you that there is no single city in Nigeria without brown roof houses.! I schooled in Ibadan, served in Yola, have investment in Ilorin, Worked in Lagos before and currently works in Portharcourt. I have been to all capital cities in the SS,SE and SW. The slums in the core delta cities of Yenago, Port Harcourt, and Warri is so bad that most Ibadan indigenes would not even fathom it. It is Makoko all round. In Ibadan it is dirt on solid ground not moist dirt.

As per for Ogunpa, you must have only read or hear about it in the 80's after the ogunpa flood disaster. That mean you are so outdated! And even then, all city have its slum like the old Ajegunle and old Maroko in Lagos! And there is Makoko in Lagos.

Yet Lagos is far more beautiful than all the other cities.

When it comes to Beauty, Ibadan can only sensibly be behind the two federal cities of Lagos and Abuja!



Greatpooss:
Ibadan shouldn't have been included in the list of 10 most beautiful cities in Nigeria because the city is an ancient one with so many houses having rusted roof and many narrow roads without much green area in the city. Lastly, the city is so dirty with Ogunpa River the dumping sites of most inhabitants.

PoliticsRe: Transparency International Responds To Cameron Comments Regarding Nigeria by Laid2001: 10:11pm On May 10, 2016
In my culture both the thief and the one who helps him to keep his loot are guilty.
Hence the yorubas have a proverb that says " Eni gbe epo loja ko jebi bii eni gbaa sile lowo re"

That is " The palm oil thief is not as guilty as the one who keeps the oil for him"

Good write up, I cant understand and imagine politicians stealing public fund and investing in another man country, and the citizens are busy blaming the innocent country of where the money is invested as been corrupt, countries that need the money more than you need it,in most of western countries you cant leave their borders with huge sum of money without proper papers of the purpose, they blame the failure of their government and society on another passive country that did not beg or force you to bring your countries wealth to them.

The only sin of PMB on his anti-curroption fight is that he is not arresting all thieves.
But he has not arrested a single clean, honest man.

So, dear wailers, your saviour was in government for more than 5 years and his party for 16 years, you had your opportunity to arrest all the thieves but you could not even arrest any. Yet you will not let the one who can arrest atleast some of the yam eaters to do it.!!

For God's sake PMB was elected to clean the federal government and the governors are to do same at the state level. All previous ministers, All MDA directors, all the yam eaters at Federal level, who fortunately were PDP members, will be scrutinized. If he leaves out any yam eaters at Federal levels, another government will catch them if and when PMB/APC leaves government.!!

However, I expect the state governments to go after their own yam eaters as well. They all have the powers under the constitution to do that and should not be waiting for PMB to do that for them!

A 24 yrs old lady going into a relationship must have been very stupid waiting for six years for a useless man!!.

Any relationship more than two years that have not culminated in marriage for a lady in her mid twenties is futile and ladies need to be aware of this.!

The lady more importantly should have kept to the first pregnancy!. The man would have shown her true color then. Rather than committing a grave sin for the useless idiot.

having said that, it takes two to tango, the two of them are to blame and really no man wants an after four (dead kids) lady as a new wife!!!!.

Now who will marry her. Ladies please use your sense in relationship and your heart only!!!

No Jupiter can make men take you to the alter if he does not wants you. Stop spending money on men who does not want you and asking for abortion is a clear message of not wanting you.! If you have enough money to spend on him, you surely have enough to raise your kid!!!

LiteratureRe: Chimamanda Vs Chinua Achebe,who Is A Better Writer by Laid2001: 9:29am On May 05, 2016
I am a scientist and Believe in quantitative reasoning.

Based on Quantitative, measurable criteria, Achebe is more widely read and accepted. His Novel have topped the sales chart several times.

Yet, that is just one criteria, Chimamanda on the other hand has won more awards and recognition than Achebe and she is just started!. And her books are selling at a rate never seen in Nigerian literatures before. Given time, her books will overtake sales record of Achebe's books.!

Hence, given, the scale of things Adichie is Better overall.

However, we can continue with our emotional attachment to Achebe, the legend!.

This is just like Pele and Messi!

SPY Police are Supernumerary police officers not spies for espionage.

SPY police officers are those officer specifically attached (at the instance of a company) to a big company like the IOCs to help maintain Law and order within such company's operational rem.

Most IOCs, NNPC and Banks have SPY police attached to their operations.

PoliticsRe: Enugu Killers Were Fulani Herdsmen - Police by Laid2001: 12:13pm On May 02, 2016
So how come there is no single picture of the attackers when Vanguard, The villagers, the police and the government (State and Federal) were aware of it happening before hand!.
How come the villagers still went to farm, even after being told of the imminent attack and it was even on the pages of news paper!.

Yet, the only pictures we get were those of the victims, not of the attackers nor their cows since they are supposed to be herdsmen.

The villagers even indict a police officer (an Igbo) as being a conspirator in the attack.!

Knowing ahead by many, implies the attack is premeditated and hence, those who claimed to have known ahead must be investigated since they must at least be aware of the identity of the attackers.



Ngozi123:
But there are pictures circulating on the net of people who have died/injured by the attacks- is that enough proof for you. As for your point about Vanguard knowing about the attacks before it happened, well, so did the Nigerian government but they did nothing about it as usual. You seem to have an agenda here...
PoliticsRe: Enugu Killers Were Fulani Herdsmen - Police by Laid2001: 12:05pm On May 02, 2016
A herdsman is defined as "the keeper of a herd, especially of cattle or sheep"

Hence a Fulani Herdsman is a fulani that works as a herdsman. If there is no herds of cow or sheep, there is no herdsman.

It is not all Fulani's that are herdsmen and it is not all herdsmen that are fulanis.

In the case of several attacks in Nigeria, associated to herdsmen, I only believe it is done by herdsmen (who may be Fulani or not) when I see the cattles or at least the case must be related to rearing of cattle. Either poisoning of cattle, killing of goats etc

Hence, this Enugu killers are not herdsmen unless the victims or the police or anybody can bring evidence of how this crises relates to the cattle and their herdsmen.

But if supposed group of alleged Fulani men attacks your Village, they can not be called herdsmen even if proven that they are Fulanis, except you have evidence that these people actually rears cows. They could as well be mercenaries from another village or a gang of other criminals. Which is very common in that area.

PoliticsRe: Saraki: Why Is Everyone Pointing Finger At Tinubu? by Laid2001: 7:39pm On Apr 24, 2016
It is a case of two thieves and the security guards.

One thief (Tinubu) was caught on monday morning having broke into the house and was already outside the gate when the security man caught him. He then reached a sort of agreement with the security guard who then asked him not to sin no more.!

But yet on Tuesday morning he caught a second (saraki) thief, again in front of the gate and the security man reported him to the house owner. The second thief then sighted the issue of yesterday thief on whom no judgment was passed. The second thief then blamed the first thief for being behind his travails.

Even if the first thief is behind the travails of the second thief, the fact is that, the second thief have to face his trail and in any case, he is a thief.!

saraki is a selfish idiot.

He did not oppose nada. The senate presidency was supposed to go to a christian (Akume) according to the Tinubu's camp and saraki scuttled it!

And he wants the christians to believe he is their supporter. He himself is a Fulani man and that makes number 1 and number 3 in the nation both Fulani men. And if he claims to be Yoruba, that still means both Number 2 and 3 are Yorubas.

If at all he fought agains a muslim/muslim ticket it will be for his own selfish aim of becoming Senate president, knowing fully well that, that will make it a done deal for a christian senate president!!!. With a Muslim/Muslim Ticket, saraki can never be senate president!!!

Our politicians only play selfish politics.
