CelebritiesRe: Charles Novia Disses Lagos To Abuja Trekker by Laid2001:
For those claiming the feat is inpossible.

Check this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_Crown_of_Hiking

The record holder trekked a total of 12,700 km in 239 days making it an average of 53.14km per day.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Crest_Trail

Williamson traveled a total of 5,300 miles (8,530 km) in 197 days, covering an average of 35 to 40 miles (56 to 64 km) per day when not in snow – an overall average of 27 miles (43 km) per day – wearing an extremely ultra-lightweight pack, which "without food, weighed about 8.5 pounds (3.9 kg)".[24] Williamson then went on to complete a second round trip on November 28, 2006, cutting two weeks off his 2004 time.

The youngest person to hike the trail is Christian Thomas, who completed a flip-flop thru-hike of the trail from April 5, 2014 through November 24, 2014 at the age of 6. He completed his hike with his mother Andrea Rego and father Dion Pagonis. [26] [27]

The youngest girl to thru-hike the trail is Sierra Burror, who completed a continuous thru-hike of the trail from April through September 2012 at the age of 9. She completed her hike with her mother, Heather Burror


The trekking done by this Nigerian man is not even near any record at all it is such a small feat. Wath made it worthy of mentioning is the cause for which it was made.!

So, it is possible and achievable!!!

Google is your friend!!

CelebritiesRe: Charles Novia Disses Lagos To Abuja Trekker by Laid2001: 12:24pm On Apr 22, 2015
I trekk an average of 10km daily and it takes less than 90 minutes on the average. If the man trekks for six ours a day on the average he will do 40km per day!.

Surely it is possible to do 40km per day.

This Charles is suely a charles dumb. He does not even know anything common sense is not reflected in his post at all.
PoliticsRe: Egyptian President Invites Buhari For Discussion by Laid2001: 9:19am On Apr 22, 2015
You are great mumu. Obama visited Ghana after how many visits by the Ghanian President to Obama.!
And did Ghana summoned Obama to visit!!. Even Kenya, Obama parent's origin was left out to send a message then!. Ghana pleaded, requested and celebrated Obama's visit when it eventually came after several visit of the Ghanian President to the white house and that visit was a reward by US for Ghana's democracy!

Buhari will not do any diplomatic visit to any country until after his inauguration and when he does it will be decided purely by the interest of Nigeria.

OXYGEN011:
Obama visited the President of Ghana so Ghana is better and greater than U.S.A I guess.I don't know why there are sooo many fools in nigeria who reasoned with their ass.

LiteratureRe: Top 10 Nigerian Writers Of All Time. by Laid2001: 3:00pm On Apr 21, 2015
If Wole Soyinka is already Acknowledge as the best in the world by virtue of his Nobel Price, which has not been equal by any other black man all over the world, why then should the Op thinks hes hsould not be 1 in Nigeria!
I think Wole is undisputably no1. That is the verifiable one. Others are subjective. One of the best work of soyinka is The Trials of Brother Jero, The lion and the Jewels and The interpreters.
The secretes behind wole being the best is in his versatility, he is a play writer with about 30 plays in his kitty, a novelist and story writer with about five novel/story books, a poet with up to six poetry books and even a movie writer. He writes in all section of literature, unlike others!

He surely is a genius with seemless maleability of the english language!

I am also surprised that someone like cyprian is not on the list as well, that guy is one heck of a novelist that has touched several lifes.

PoliticsRe: Buhari's Social Program: Very Possible. by Laid2001: 10:40am On Apr 20, 2015
The Customs report showed that a total revenue of about N1trillion was made by the service for the calendar year 2014.

The Gas revenue is also not yet accounted for!. NLNG is a big money spinner.

And also in actual fact, the revenue from oil more like 80% take by Government accounting for all revenue to the government! from oil:
royalty, 55% JV share, NDDC charges, NCD 5% etc.
CelebritiesRe: Seun Kuti: “jonathan Knelt For Prayer• David Cameron Stood • Is Adeboye Racist?” by Laid2001: 8:58pm On Apr 19, 2015
When cameron knelt down in the sikh temple, he was not kneeling for anyone. Everybody was kneeling down including the priest there.!. He will never kneel down if even a single person is standing, he will rather be the one standing!.
If he enters a mosque, He will have to sit down on the mat with others as well. But if someone is standing over him, he will not be down for that person.
As a president , I expect him to be at par with the leader of the church or the priest of the temple. GEJ was kneeling down to receive prayer from a pastor. It would have been appropriate if the pastor is kneeling down as well!!!

cap28:
Cameron kneels in a Sikh temple and even covers his head with a scarf (I wonder whether that is part of British culture) but simply stands nonchalantly before a Nigerian pastor - actions speak louder than words.

It is you that should stop your stereotyping of fellow Nigerians.
You are wrong and he is right to point it out. The only thing required of you is to accept the correction and say thank you.

The only serious female contender for Governorship post in this country is from the North and you have the temerity to stereotype women from the north!

PoliticsRe: Buhari Never Promised APC To Make Naira Equal To Dollar – APC by Laid2001: 3:12pm On Apr 16, 2015
You are the liar. I have read your vanguard lies. the only direct quote from Buhari is:

“It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped to more than N230 to one dollar; this does not speak well for the nation’s economy,’’ he said - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/ill-make-naira-equal-in-value-to-dollar-says-buhari/#sthash.jNEZLE6E.dpuf

He never said with his own mouth that he will make naira equal to dollar.!!!

Your so called evidence did not proof what you claimed. find another one!!

[quote author=SeverusSnape post=32782081]Lies...
See this link: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/ill-make-naira-equal-in-value-to-dollar-says-buhari/

We won't aaccept that. grin
All I know is this, Buhari must make a Naira equal to a Dollar.

Lest I forget, He should also stabilize global oil price

We need change
TravelRe: Xenophobia: View Of A Nigerian Living In SA by Laid2001: 12:20pm On Apr 16, 2015
Well there are bad people everywhere. To use the action of a minority to define the whole os SAcans is not fair at all.!

Just like I always stand up against those foreigners that tries to use those few useless 419 guys to define Nigeria and label all Nigerians as fraud stars.

Even in Nigeria, we have people that are worse than xenophobics. Within the last two weeks more than 30 people have been killed due to being member of an opposing political party in River State!. The Oba Of lagos asked people of different tribe to die in the lagoon, PDP chairman in Abia states asked Boko Haram to keep killing them in the north in as much as they dont come to his state! etc etc

Even the hatred spewed on this forum against fellow Nigerian by some few ignoramus can not be compared to any stereotype we face outside the country.

Yet all these does not define us as Nigerians for we are generally good people!

For those of you shouting respect, if this is how you show respect am sorry for you. You had better go get your money back from your school. That your society teaches you that this how you show respect does not mean it is right.

The reason your parents/community sent you to school is to learn and reason like human not swallow everything that society says because society says so.

PoliticsRe: APC - Poll Frauds In Rivers Won't Stand by Laid2001: 11:46am On Apr 15, 2015
Looks like The Ijaws have lost two major political post, Presidency and governorship of Rivers!.

Anyway, Dakuku may get respite in the courts if he has a water tight case. All APC needs is to ask advertise for more video recording of the criminality from the public (in exchange for cash) and they will be inundated with raw evidence against wike.

this in addition to the report of the observers and that of the returning officer that agreed he had to write reports under special circumstances or conditions.

Best of lucks

APC is the best when it comes tolitigation!
Especially with barrageof evidence against the election in Akwa Ibom and Rivers!!

PoliticsRe: We Can't Cancel Rivers And Akwa Ibom Results - INEC by Laid2001: 9:13am On Apr 14, 2015
You dont Get it, it is not about the Governorship election alone!
The Returning officer of Rivers alluded to writing result under special conditions!!!!
Jega agreed that there were verifiable problems with the election in these states on live TV.

While it may be true that PDP may still win governorship in a rerun election, there was no way Magnus Abe will lose the senate seat of Ogoni area. Some NHA and SHA seats will also certainly go to APC.

Last but not the least, the result will mostlikely mimick Imo wher the winning party has a smaller majority!

It is surely impossible for Rivers to have more electorate than Lagos state neither is that tiny Akwa Ibom expected to defy gravity of common sense to have such number as it wilded during this election!

Haba, fishes they vote neee.


EUROBOMBER:
Not only Rivers but Akwa Ibom too. I don;t know what is wrong with the APC, I think they are very bad losers honestly. We lost the presidency and let it go but anywhere we defeat them, they start shouting for cancellation. embarassed embarassed

That same Seyi Makinde got just about 6% of the votes, showing people don't believe him yet or they don't believe him. And most new politicians usually appear reasonable until they get hold of power.
