GreenApple123:I believe it's the woman's son that she wants to marry. |
klem93:God did not choose your sai buhari. Buhari once stole power with a gun like an armed robber, and God took it away from him through IBB. Buhari has tried 3 times and failed, so God doesn't want him to be president. God lifted GEJ from nowhere and made him president after removing Yaraduah. So, do not touch, insult or disrespect God's anointed, or you'll face the wrath of God. |
frankmoney:A more apt question now is; What are you doing now to make Africa better than you found it, what are you doing now to become the next Einstein, Newton etc.? |
jcflex:If it is such a wonderful idea, why don't they use it in America? |
millionaireman:I have no idea what you're saying, mine was a purely factual observation of the political theatrics going on in Imo State. I think you're comparing apples and oranges here. Same as saying that Hausa's should not agitate for power shift because Abuja is in their place, or that Enugu State should only have governors from other zones than people from Enugu itself etc., political realities in infant fractured democracies gets a little more complex than that. But you can make your argument to Owerri zone people if you feel strongly about your views, I have no dog in the race. |
babaireti:Rochas has done well in Imo State compared to his predecessors, and he's a good man with a good heart for helping people, but he's not a perfect administrator. It doesn't look like he has done better than Sullivan Chime of Enugu State, who's clearly a better administrator and equally a good man. |
almostFamous:You need to stretch your brain sometimes and think outside-the-box. APC is not a Yoruba party, it is a merger of political interest from all parts of the country, unless you describe a party by the tribe of it's national leader, and by that reasoning PDP was also a Yoruba, bini, Igbo and hausa party at different times. Again, Chris Ngige is in APC, and is loved by his people (Same Igbos) you talk about. And Rochas has numerous supporters in his state as well (all same igbos), so the premise of your reasoning is parochial, tribal and a complete fallacy. You probably do not know that Rochas is from 'Orlu Zone' in Imo State, a zone that has held on to power for 12 years now, to the exclusion of Okigwe and Owerri zones, who are agitating for power shift by any means. |
GeneralBosco:Going by your ignorant calculations, how come buhari did not become president in 2011 then! |
dayosaurus:This is the most idiotic and ignorant propaganda post I've seen, obviously written by an ignorant fool who knows NOTHING about USA. US military reports are NOT written in these terms and language, and such, in this circumstance are always CLASSIFIED! But I trust ignorant, simple-minded Nigerians to by this cow dung. |
Sanchez01:Every other currency in the world is struggling against the USD, especially currency of oil reliant countries. |
softwareman:Again, I ask, where is your verifiable proof for your assertions? Something is not factually true just because you said so. What you just stated are simply your opinion, you're entitled to that and I respect that. But it doesn't make them facts. No tribe/region/state/religion is a monolithic voting block, neither do posses or harbour a monolithic political affiliation, ideology or sentiments. For the records, the Igbos supported Tinubu, and Fashola as well, that's why an Igbo man, Ben Akabeze has been a major cabinet member in Lagos for Tinubu and now Fashola. |
Clerverly:Where is your verifiable proof? |
holatin:Use your 'English 101' to correct your sentence highlighted in red above. |
omanifrank:How can you be sure that this man is a police officer? How can you be sure he's drunk, and not sick? |
peckhamboi:Tell that to buhari and his apc entourage in Britain. |
SaiBuharii:You mean like PSquare-Peter and Lola Omotayo? |
Redoil:Not yet, they only did this because of falling oil prices and election is coming. They earn more than the US Congress, WHY? |
The implementation of the 35 per cent import levy on used cars will now begin on June 30, 2015 as the Federal Government has once again shifted the commencement date by two months. In a move to encourage local assembling of vehicles, the government had in September 2013 raised the import tariff on fully-built cars and used vehicles from 22 per cent to 70 per cent made up of 35 per cent duty and 35 per cent levy. It also announced a zero per cent tariff on Completely Knocked Down units (vehicles) and five per cent to 10 per cent on Semi Knocked Down units. The first phase of the policy, involving the payment of the 35 per cent duty came into effect in February 2014. The Director-General, National Automotive Council, Mr. Aminu Jalal, informed our correspondent through a text message on Monday that a circular had been issued by the Federal Ministry of Finance deferring the implementation of the levy to June 30. He did not give any reason for the postponement. When the implementation of the second phase was first moved from July 1, 2014 to January 1, 2015, the government had said that it was to enable local vehicle assembly plants to ramp up production in order to meet the nation's demand for brand new vehicles. When it was last month deferred again to April 30, 2015, the Federal Government said through NAC, an agency of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, that the postponement was due to the delay in establishing a vehicle finance scheme. Jalal had said, "The arrangement for the establishment of the affordable vehicle finance scheme suffered a delay of about four months due to the Ebola Virus Disease. The staff of the collaborating bank, Wesbank of South Africa, delayed their planned trip to Nigeria to set up operations from September 2014 to January 2015. "Hence, the new date for the start of operations of the financing scheme is April 2014. Accordingly, the Minister of Finance has been asked to extend the levy deferment on used cars to April 30, 2015." Nigeria imports about 400,000 units of vehicles annually, with about 300,000 being second-hand. As a result of the devaluation of the naira and the subsequent rise in the cost of buying used vehicles and clearing them at the nation's seaports, auto dealers at the Berger Yard Auto Market in Lagos have reduced the volume of importation by over 50 per cent. Port and Terminal Multi Services Limited, the largest terminal for vehicle imports, has recorded a 61 per cent drop in the volume of imported vehicles. The terminal had in January 2014 handled 16,000 units of vehicles, while only 6,200 passed through it last month. Efforts to get a response from the Special Adviser to the Minister of Finance on Media, Mr. Paul Nwabuikwu, proved abortive as he neither picked his calls nor respond to a text message sent to his mobile telephone. http://odili.net/news/source/2015/feb/25/843.html |
oshokay:The big question is, 'Why would a student decide to spend N100k on a phone'? Misplaced priorities! |
Buhari1:Actually, you need to learn a lot. 'Funny Enough' is NOT appropriate in this context, rather he should've used 'Sadly enough, or tragic enough'. But I do not blame you, English is NOT your first language, and you're a victim of a failed education system which has relegated your reasoning and knowledge base below that of an animal, very sad. |
[quote author=cardoctor [color=#990000]Funny enough[/color], this accident happened at almost the same spot, in similar circumstances and barely 3 months after another accident involving a Toyota Rav4 and an AMAC transport bus caused a heavy gridlock with possible fatalities. I think that a serious failure in driver training and licensing as well as speed monitoring by law enforcement agent such as the Police and Road Safety corps is the major cause of the level of carnage and deaths that we experience on these scary Nigerian roads. Something urgently need to be done. Same as well on this occasion, NO AMBULANCE, NO FIRE BRIGADE. Just ordinary citizens doing our best to offer help in an almost helpless situation. God help us. Amen Car-Doctor[/quote]Whats 'Funny' about this tragedy? |
itetemi:America and other Countries that build the submarines and aircraft carriers you showed, will not sell them nor the technology to anyone, it is a national security issue for them, and same goes for some of their 'war planes etc'. These countries will only sell you what they believe you need for your country's strategic defences, given your geographic location and possible needs. . So, the only way to acquire the level of what you showed, is to develop your own technology. And the cost of developing these kinds of military hardware is atrocious, there is something called 'Scale of preference'. Again, the world powers can still stop you from developing such military technology. Check the issues of Iran, Iraq etc. So, before you expose your ignorance, featherweight intellect and bias, always do a thorough study and research of what you're talking about. |
2undexy:Educate yourself, and don't wallow in ignorance. OBJ is NOT even a skeletal bone in PDP, not to talk of being a backbone. OBJ was not a founding member of PDM which metamorphosed into PDP. OBJ was recruited into PDP to become president by IBB & co, to pacify the SW for Abiola's tragedy. OBJ NEVER even won his electoral ward in Abeokuta. OBJ's only power is to use other people to rig elections, and that has been neutralised by GEJ through Jega and the introduction of PVC. OBJ has NO reliable clout in SW, in fact most SW powerful cliques (Afenifere, Oduah, etc) see obj as a bastard. So PDP has only gained from obj's exit from PDP, because he's been an unbearable distraction to them. OBJ has been totally discredited by his own son and daughter. |
zingywingy:I have no idea what you just said. However if you're talking about oil, then you should look at the history of your country. Nigeria and Nigerians were more prosperous, and lived a better live without oil. The British ran Nigeria and left a good, beautiful and prosperous country, but since the discovery of oil, the country has degenerated into a sewer. Millions of Nigerians today run to live in other countries who has NO oil! It's only uneducated imbeciles like you who believe oil is a blessing to Nigeria, read what you just wrote, and see how ignorant, foolish and unlettered you sound, that's what your oil has produced. Perhaps you should try and educate yourself a bit about your country, and find out what all the regions actually has.. |
aorta:What you should wonder about is: 'Why does Nigeria love and need Igbos so much, that Nigeria doesn't want Igbos to leave, and would rather kill millions of people, including children and women, instead of allowing Igbos to leave'. |
helphelp:Lol.... so even #1000 no dey with you? |
saaedlee:1. 'We all' don't know that his choice is GMB, because OBJ just denied it. 2. It doesn't matter who OBJ supports, because OBJ doesn't have any iota of strong political base himself. He did NOT even win his ward in both of his presidential elections. His daughter Iyabo could not even get a primary nomination in her second term try. OBJ became president because IBB, Atiku, Anenih etc rigged for him when there was NO PVC. 3. OBJ has been humiliated and discredited by his son Segun, his daughter Iyabo and a host of other people across the country. The major political powerhouses in yorubaland (Awolowo clique, Abiola Clique, OPC, Afenifere, Falaye, Kuti, Bola Ige clique etc,) sees obj as a bastar..d and untrustworthy, unreliable, greedy, dishonest ape. 4. In view of the forgoing, who cares about obj and his endorsements! |
Blitz888:Apparently you have problems with me 'saying my own'. Now, who is depicting a 'morbid state of intolerance'? |
WIZGUY69:Abi oo! But Why you wan MATCH am, just leave am to retire to Katsina peacefully after the elections. |
briefness:The problem with APC, their supporters, and indeed Nigeria, is that none of them addresses the FACTS! You all speak and act based on your biased primitive sentiments and emotions. Why can't you bring up the reasons INEC and the Security apparatus of the country gave for postponing the elections, and ask if they are valid, given the situation on ground. The people that are for GMB will still vote GMB, and the people that are for GEJ will still vote GEJ. For 'osunbade' to use this as a campaign gimmick demeans the integrity and righteous stance he claims. You all reason and act below the level of animals! |
And while you're busy wasting your lives, here's what another young Nigerian is doing with his life: http://vimeo.com/45493623 |
go and learn more english. That "funny" is not the joke-laugh funny. It may be metaphorical. Only people like you would be looking for something to laugh about in a tragic situation like this.
