NIGHTMAREOO7:
Nothin like value and respect.. Why would u destroy ur daughter's love life.
Yet u claim educated.

hot1sauce:
what do u mean r u police.... to tell me that my "story" does not add up.... I just said my own what don't u understand gate fee is obviously not the same as tithes.... what is hard in understanding the expression.... abeg aunty cool down for jesus

NIGHTMAREOO7:
But why are Yoruba parents naturally like that?
That sounds petty and primitive.
I thought they say Yorubas are educated

FortifiedCity:
You might sound tribalistic here but you stated the fact.

But Just like you said, there are exemptions

hot1sauce:
well I did not lie... like I said I was invited by a member of the MFM and at this time the church was even just coming into its own in Nigeria. The branch I went to was somewhere in one of the municipals of the FCT Abuja.... I paid a gate fee.... and its even one official or is it guard who collected it from me... to enter at the time. That I paid along with all the other tithes which I suppose is normal. it was just the gate fee which I did not understand. I don't know anything about Ibafo or the HQ O! i'm not a regular member of MFM, i'm just stating what I've witnessed going with one who invited me

TabletMan:
Beautiful couple
Though I hate inter tribal marriage and pray never to caught up in one.

scholes0:
Duuurh..
Edo and Yoruba have been meeting since time immemorial .
Probably the most common inter-ethnic marriage in the South.

I want to see Yoruba and an unknown tribe from Taraba or Adamawa.

princfred:
Most Yoruba woman, like their men, have natural loathing and even some inherent hate which manifests as unnecesary antagonism towards igbo men. But Yoruba men love to marry igbo women especially the fair ones and the average igbo women dont naturally loath Yoruba men. Ofcourse there are exemptions to every rule so do give it a try if she is your spec.

TheAngry1:
Nobody hates anybody, you see what you intensely focus on. If you find a woman or man you love, go ahead and marry him or her. Life is too short for bullshit! In the long run, your regrets would stem more from the things you didn't do, than from those you did.

hot1sauce:
OK cool, well how often do u attend their events/services? I'm sure if you're a member or a regular church goer you will come across this. I've gone as a visitor after being invited by a friend who is a Pentecostal Christian worshipper and I've seen instances where you will pay just to attend the service.... as an outsider you will see this as an instance dictating just another form of initiation by way of paying an unnecessary tithe

SAMBARRY:
that's definitely not a genuine church or genuine mfm. Secondly I am not a regular of mfm I only go there once in a while but all the times I have been there never heard of such

You must have entered a fake church camouflaging as mfm just to extort money from spiritually and mentally gullible people. If you were really sensitive you should have known something funny is fishy when they asked you to pay gate fee

I expect you to have walked away however if you didn't hope you got value for your money I. E when service was going on they served you fried rice, fried chicken and nice juice drinks? Did they treat you with respect and courtesy? Did you ask the pastor to keep quiet when your phone was ringing because you had to answer a call. Basically did you get good customer service because I don't know since when the word of God became for sale

Jofet:
Church members MUST marry only within the church, if you marry someone who is not a member of your church, you are seen a sinner.
That crab sucks!!!!

There is no church name in Heaven, only blood washed saints "from all kindred and tongues and tribes and denomination"

GraGra247:
I maintain that there's no lady that approaches a married man and begs him to leave his wife and date her.

Men are 100% to blame. When they've begged the lady to death with lies to brainwash her, and as well spent silly on her, why won't she yield?

MIKOLOWISKA:
it's better so you will not confirm how low yours is

slegerman:
My brother, I have been scammed. Not even in thousands, so I understand all these. The question still remains " show me someone who hasn't stolen or wouldn't do so if the opportunity presents itself.

"Opportunity makes a thief."- Vee - The Mafia Manager.

Again, I will never support any form of crime and at the same wouldn't be QUICK to condemn anyone.

slegerman:
My brother let me come down well, maybe you will understand now.

I am not in support of any form of crime and at the same time, I am not quick to condemn anyone for any crime.

According to Emmanuel Kant, "Before you can say that something is morally wrong or right, you must first consider the circumstances leading to it."

No one was born a criminal. It was circumstances that push people to crime. So until you have been in that circumstance and where able to keep your head up, then you have no right to condemn people. Let natural law take care of that person with time.

Let me go Biblical, When mob were trying to stone Mary for adultery, Jesus simply asked anyone who haven't committed sin should cast the first stone and I believe you know how the story ends. What the mob were trying to do is the law as commanded by Moses and apparently, the right thing, abi? Does it means Jesus supported crime?

That was the rationale behind my first post.( please re-read it again in the light of this explanation)

Lets stop condemning people for crime which most of you here will indulge in it, if given the opportunity.

I hope I made myself clear....

Again, I wouldn't support crime and am not equally quick to condemn. Let Karma take care of everyone.

jeronimo:
First of all you were only a messenger and you had to pass a message. The problem I think may have been the way you composed the mail. Next time forward the message as sent from your regional manager then start with " as requested in the mail below....".

Then subsequent reminders should include previous mail in the trail.

Don't forget to use words like "kindly", "gentle reminder", "thanks in anticipation", etc I mean try to be a polite as possible even if you are sending it to subordinate.

Don't think of resigning it's part of growing up in the corporate world. Hope this helps. Cheers

400billionman:
Learn how to be diplomatic.

Use office terminology which means something, but sounds another thing.

Since the regional head is tasking you for reports from 3 of your superiors, the burden is not on YOU, but on the 3 BRANCH MANAGERS. It is not your father's job, and it is not EMBARRASSING like you stated. You sounded frustrated with your choice of words, so they will help you frustrate yourself.

Next time, FORWARD the originating mail from the Regional Manager to the 3 branch managers and COPY the Regional Manager.

Stating, " Sirs, the above mail is for your advice or For your input or For your information "

Then go and sleep..

If the regional manager sends a reminder, forward the reminder to the 3 managers and copy the regional head again.. thats ur work.

If you put yourself on the line, they will use you and shine. Just ensure the regional head knows you are forwarding his mails to them by copying him. Thats all. If he didn't send a mail, demand a mail.

AntiWailer:
Yes .

Any body can confront his line manager if it is a useless job.

A job that your line manager can inform the MD is definitely a one man business.

Try that nonsense in a big corporate organization. He will write that they move u to another department and u might float until u get sacked..

When u get your dream job, confront and get queries.

KingsleyCEO:
You must be careful when relating between two super power (bosses) if not you will incur wrath and neither will be willing to save you. And your choice of word is also very keen. I have been told by my regional manager to tell my immediate boss stuff that I am not too comfortable with but I kept it to myself only for my RM to still come around to ask my BM if I delivered such and BM turned to me and I simply said I forgot to pass the message. Right there and then the RM passed his message after which my BM understood the reason I forgot.

livinbygrace:
That condition that made a 2.1 graduate from 1995 till date turned to OKADA rider will surely locate you,then you will know better.

Boss13:
Someone who is not made of the same ilk as you. Someone who admonishes wrongdoings. Someone who is irritated by what you stand for and do. Someone who does not appreciate lazy folks and those whose mindsets are wired to think ONLY and perpetrate crime.

Finally, someone who is concerned about the future of Nigerian Youths who now glorify and want to emulate criminals.

In the 80s, we enjoyed watching your type squirm, cry and beg for mercy as the military shoot you to death. In the 90s, the Nigerian community labeled your type as deranged humans with incomprehensible mentality. The Nigerian society rejected you and your type. There were movies to remind us about your tragic end. Now, I am surprised that you and your crime loving friends have the audacity to express yourself and also forcing society to accept you.

Jesus!!!

'How Lagos World Trade Centre Project Was Stalled | Fri, 21 Dec 2007 | Punch Newspaper Nigeria'

If things had gone as planned by officials of the Lagoon City Development Corporation (LCDC), a considerable portion of the land bordering the highbrow Ikoyi waterfront in Lagos would be bubbling with commercial activities courtesy of an imposing World Trade Centre (WTC) complex, as well as ancillary facilities. But the tall dreams never became a reality and the issue has, in the past 15 years, been a subject of litigation.

The late industrialist and owner of LCDC, Chief Adebayo Adeleke, who passed on in October 1987, had sometime in 1981, explored the possibility of generating public revenue and creating substantial employment opportunities off the Lagos Lagoon foreshore, which had previously been neglected. The proposal was also meant to relieve the growing pressure for commercial property on the Lagos Island and the then strictly residential areas of Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as to provide for the establishment of a WTC complex for the promotion of external trade and investment in the country.

The entire scheme was christened "Lagoon City." Consequently, LCDC made a preliminary design, proposal and application for approval which it forwarded to the Lagos State Government, which then demanded N140,000 as fees. This was paid and approval was granted in February 1983. The firm of Westminster Dredging (Nigeria) Limited was engaged as consultants and contractors for the reclamation works, for which a down payment of N2.5 million was paid.

The LCDC was to learn later that the parts of the lagoon and foreshore proposed for the said project, were vested in the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) on behalf of the Federal Government to which application should have been made. The dredging company sought NPA approval on May 24, 1983, following which an approval was granted via a letter dated June 17, 1983. But, after reclamation work began, NPA officials allegedly approached the developers on the basis, that only a preliminary approval had been granted, and that a full consent could only be given after an undertaking had been given to the effect that hydrological and other tests would be carried out, to establish the possible effects of the project on the lagoon.

To satisfy the new NPA demand, the LCDC claimed that it engaged the services of a number of companies to carry out the studies – including two Canadian firms – who were duly paid for their efforts. However, by 1984 when a considerable expanse of land had been gained, the Lagos State government began to express an interest in the development, as well as others in the vicinity of Ikoyi and the Lekki Peninsula. It was gathered that the Federal Government stepped in, and in 1988 issued a White Paper that vested the land in NPA on its behalf. The matter dragged on during the tenure of Major-General Mamman Kontagora and Barnabas Gemade as Works and Housing ministers, without any headway.

The LCDC, however, claimed that it received in July 1991 a government offer for the allocation of 20 plots to it on the land. But LCDC stated that the offer was rescinded, when the government offered N31 million in lieu of the 30 plots.

The LCDC eventually headed for the court, instituting a N500 million suit for specific performance on the part of the government. Along the line, LCDC officials claimed that they learned the said land had been divided into 144 plots to be allocated to top government officials. Four years ago in February 2003 several years after the matter had gone into the cooler (following the decision Justice Dolapo Akinsanya of a Lagos High Court in December 1993 declining jurisdiction on the matter), the Appeal Court re-opened the case and set aside the 1993 ruling, ordering that the case be heard expeditiously by another judge.

Akinsanya had based her decision on The Lands (Title Vesting Etc) Decree No. 52 of 1993 and Federal Military Government (Supremacy and Enforcement of Powers) Decree No. 12 of 1994. Decree 52 vests the ownership of "all lands lying within 100 meters limit of the shoreline of Nigeria and other lands reclaimed from any lagoon, sea, ocean in or bordering Nigeria or of ocean bordering the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the Federal Government." A few months ago, in a suit brought by the LCDC against the Federal Government, an interlocutory order restraining further development within Banana Island in Ikoyi, was granted against the government. According to a Lagos State High Court, until otherwise stated no further construction works by the Federal Government and all its agents should continue on the choice estate.

The trial judge, Justice Candide Johnson, after hearing from the counsel of both the plaintiff and the defendant, made the order with a view to protect the subject of the case initiated by the LCDC. However, the decision of the court seems not to have gone down well with affected parties on Banana Island, where construction activities is worth no fewer than N40 billion and price of plots range between N50 million and N125 million.

Some property owners who claim that they used their property to obtain bank loans to finance the projects complain of untold hardship, irreparable damage and colossal financial losses since the injunction on the island came into force. Also, while the Federal High Court suit filed against LCDC in April 2007 was dismissed in July 2007, the High Court suit filed by the company since 1993 is still pending before Justice Candide-Johnson.

well they were lucky to dodge this too kikikiki

Banana Island, is an artificial island off the foreshore of Ikoyi, Eti-Osa, Lagos, Nigeria. It’s often called Billionaires Haven. It is a place where the most expensive and luxurious mansions are situated. It was created to attract attention to the country, and I can say it did archive this aim. Several leading Nigerian and International corporates such as - Etisalat Nigeria, Airtel Nigeria, Ford Foundation Nigeria and Olaniwun Ajayi & Co - are based on Banana Island. A plot of land in Banana Island could cost hundreds of millions of naira and to rent and apartment costs nothing less than millions of Naira also. The properties in this island are usually sold for billions of naira or sometimes in dollars.....

The original Banana Island construction project entitled “Lagoon City” was the brainchild of the Late Chief Adebayo Adeleke, a University of London trained Civil Engineer (MICE), and CEO of City Property Development.

Davido’s grand-dad Chief Adebayo Adeleke had originally commissioned a new urban development in Maroko, Victoria Island, but that project had been ‘acquired’ by the Lagos State government with no financial consideration paid. Following a lengthy 10 year court case, Lagos State government offered other parcels of land as consideration for the Maroko development.

Many scoffed at Chief Adeleke’s decision to select the Ikoyi Island perimeter, however they were unable to appreciate the foresight of the Chief, who promptly engaged the Westminster Dredging Company to dredge the foreshore, and create six interlinked and symmetrical islands. He wanted to create a development that would “Make Nigeria Proud”, and engaged Minoru Yamasaki the architect of Manhattan’s Twin Towers, to design replica twin towers as the flagship iconic buildings on the main island.

To complete the Lagoon City concept, Chief Adeleke planned an aesthetic design including a City Airport, which was a vision conceived long before the London Docklands Development, London City Airport, Dubai’s Palm Islands or Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok Airport.
Unfortunately for the Chief, as soon as he had reclaimed the land and the brilliance of the idea was unveiled, others were determined to wrestle the land from him, and the project was ‘acquired’ again with no consideration being paid to City Property Development Limited. The ‘acquisition’ is currently being challenged in various courts, and there are Caveat Emptor warnings in place to warn prospective buyers that their investment could be at risk in future. There is also litigation pending in the UK and European courts regarding this matter.

The subsequent developers were principally interested in maximizing the yield of the land at the expense of the aesthetic innovative design foreseen by Chief Adebayo Adeleke. Consequently the land was filled in to create a banana shaped island, which has resolutely failed to achieve any international iconic architectural acclaim, as it is now a residential scheme rather than the commercial development originally envisaged
