yemi313: The project is been handed to one of the best ocean-front developers from Amsterdam. And please, ive been to this country once. They are the best when it comes to building around or ON-TOP the Atlantic ocean. Most of the projects in Dubai including the Buruj are built on lands which were formerly parts of the ocean. So, enough with this baseless insinuations. Cant we argue with fact for once, and stop behaving like animals....Why must everything done by BRF be sentimentally and not logically criticized?

You are so right, we are one of the best when it comes to reclaiming land from the sea.. Almere used to be waters, but now its a town.

Goldie's husband, Andrew Harvey, had preferred to be private and stay out of his wife's professional and public life as an artiste and musician. Now he has spoken out to try to quench the gossip trailing Goldie's death by sharing a Facebook album of their time together, and granting an interview.

Looking at their pictures made it as real as it could get. From the date marks on the photos, they've been together for up to ten years, and in the pics, as I saw the woman, Susan Harvey, so real, so happy, my heart was broken all over again. She was truly beautiful.

Excerpts from NETNg's interview with him.

So sorry about your loss. And so sorry to be contacting you under this circumstance. Nigerians are shocked to discover, through your FB post, that Goldie was married. I’m wondering if you’ll able to give me more details, and if we can have your permission to print some of the photos in the folder ‘Memories of my darling wife’?

You may print the photos, as for the details it really depends on what it is you’re looking for

When did you wed her? And were you still married as at when she passed yesterday?

We wed in December 2005 and were very much married when she passed indeed I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event


There had been speculation for many years that she was married to an ‘oyinbo’ man. But no one could lay hands on anything. Why did you keep it a ‘secret’?

Our private life is nothing to do with work life, there has to be a balance

How did you hear of her death? I found out you last saw her in December?

I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event

How did you meet her? She must have been very young…

I met her at a friend’s leaving party and fell in love straight away, but had to work hard to persuade her I was genuine

But how did you manage the Prezzo drama?

Prezzo was part of BBA game, just like in the movies, there was nothing to fear

But funny it dragged way beyond BBA

It dragged because the media dragged it, other wise it would have died naturally. Prezzo will say anything to get attention

Do you think he fell in love? And did you ever think Susan liked him for a minute…?

People fall in love and it’s not impossible to love more than one person, but there are different levels. She liked him initially, but began to despise him and distanced herself as he tried to use her she complained he was very manipulative

So sad! so shocked! Rest in peace Goldie

mynaija123: He is an adult for Christ sake.

And Adults are not allowed to Joke cos they are Nigerians? I actually saw Obama joking about 2pac and Biggie smalls and I am assuming he is an Adult right?

Pls y'all should just celebrate and forget the negativity. Bless

ooman: One of the reason i became an atheist is why a continent like africa, that "puts God first in everything" is the poorest and why a whole race, who is the most religious is also the most unsuccessful, that race is obvious: the black race!

I thought to myself that if God exists, and if he really decided not to help african communities but watch children die of hunger everyday in their numbers, then i can't also trust that i have a secured paradise waiting for me after death. God might also "decide it is not his affairs to interfere with".

If God can't help or at least reward African communities now despite how much they love, worship and expect from him, i dont need or want his help in the "afterlife", not that i believe in an "afterlife".

There is nothing more i'd love to see than the success of my land, even if that means loss of my soul.

You might be wondering how becoming an atheist will be of any help to my land, it will be because only when you are an atheist could you be really free to think about all the possibilities about a particular matter.
Atheism frees the mind, it is the perfect way of life, the only right path that leads to life. I dont mean an afterlife i mean a fulfilled life.

You want me to believe in God, start by showing me the reward of God worship as it is evident in african communities. When i am satisfied, you would have earned a referal commission on me by bringing me to God, except you cant because obviously, the more you worship God, the less successful you get

Africans or rather Nigerians love the Idea of GOD, screaming his name, going to church etc... Doesnt mean they truly love or believe in him. Most people do that to feel good about themselves or at least pretend that they are good... If Nigerians truly love or worship GOD they will obey his commandment which is very simply. Love your fellow man,woman like you love yourself. How difficult is it to treat your neighbor right?... Over here in the west I dont see a lot of whites screaming GOD, going to church and talking about how much they worship and love GOD, but at least they manage to treat each other right and that is why they are progressing . To drive a Car you need Petrol, if you put water instead and expect GOD to work magic, you are only setting yourself up. Just put Fuel and see your car working again. Let the Hate, Greed, Wickedness, Looting by Pastors and Politicians, Cold-heartedness towards each other stop and you will see Nigeria progress. God has blessed Nigeria more than most countries in the world, so you cant blame him that our people are greedy and refuse to use the wealth for the good of everyone. He has done his part, let us do ours... that's how it works. God has given us choice and we know right from wrong, to intefare with our right of making choices will mean we are programmed Robots. You have just excersise that right, by becoming an atheist!
Bless

jennykadry: Sigh. How many times do these Hollywood stars post pictures of their material possessions? Inferiority complex and lack of proper education is seriously affecting Nigerian celebrities

Actually that's part of the Hip hop culture... MTV Crib comes to mind here.. and by the way P-Square are not actors so the comparison to Hollywood stars? Most of the musicians featured on MTV Crib have shown their collection of shoes, sneakers..etc

.

bigtt76: Basically what the Americans would want anyone to know. The main koko about the plane itself is yet unknown for security reasons.

Nope not What the Americans whats anybody to know. These are just basic information about an extraodinary piece of technology...By the way did you actually read the whole article? Cos more than once they said what you are repeating right now

Ola0711: I would disown my child if he convert to be a muslim.

Because the Angel Gabriel appeared to you and told you that you are already guaranteed a place in Heavy because of your personal belief?

Tgirl4real: I agree with you Uju. I can't disown my child for getting pregnant or stuff like that, but I can for this. . .

. . .and if I may add, ritual killings for money and the likes. But, I will also be willing to take him back once he repents.

But if you raised up the child properly in the first place, why on earth would the child be involved in Armed-robbery or Ritual killing?

Yeap they work hard for their money and while nobody has a right to tell or dictate how one should spend his or her own money, personally I think this is a total waste because whether the doll cost $5 0r $80k the child wont know the difference. She will still dip her $80k doll in water to bathe it.. They should have opened a Charity on her name with that money or something else if they dont know what to do with the money..

[quote author=hagma37@yahoo.com]Please, why are we deliberating and arguing whether or not about same sex marriage. Its a decree not a right to. We in Africa have norms and values. We don't need gays and lesbians in our midst. We can never support their plea.Its irritating and disgraceful.[/quote]No we dont! We Pretend and loves pretending and any values we have could be turned aside with money incentives... With money we would throw away anything so lets no lie and deceive ourselves that we have Values because we dont! If we do lying and looting would not be the order of the day. My take here has nothing to do with the topic at hand cos in as much as I dont hate on any particular group of people, I also believe marriage is between a Man and Woman

trolling: but from my research christianity was made the official religion of the roman empire in 321bc by Pope leo and Emperor Constantine, christianity is a religion

No it is not! Followers of the teachings of Christ were first called Christians in Antioch? That the Romans tries to add stuff and call it a Religion does not make it one! Christ himself was always at loggerhead with the Religious leaders of his day, knowing that with Religion they were tying people down. The Curtain was torn into two at his death, giving man direct access to his creator, no more going through Priest... Sacrificing Lambs..etc Christianity is not a Religion... What Christ did throughout his ministry on earth was telling man how to live a good life, be kind to each other, show compassion to strangers, treat people good and asking you to go to the quietness of your room and speak with your creator, there is nothing religious about all these.. Asked about Tithe, he condemned the people for focusing on this less important stuff, but rather should concentrate on the more important stuff...showing mercy..etc .My pastor also dont believe in Religion, but rather having a personal relationship with your creator.
Bless..

trolling: good job lenny, so what religion do u practice?

I dont believe and practice any Religion as Religion is man looking for a god so anything can be god to him including tree, ant, stone, animal, river, air...etc However I believe in Relationship with my creator through Christ. Christianity is not a RELIGION as people make the mistake to believe, Christianity is following the teaching of Christ = Love God and Love Man.. Bless

First it is very difficult understanding what you wrote up there, but please next time try to understand a post before jumping up to reply. I never said I believed in Money making Ritual, I said it is happening in Nigeria, two different things. Your News papers are filled with these so go tell them to stop publishing pictures of dead girls with their breast, tongue, private parts cut off... It was published that your late ruler Abacha imported Marabouts that were sacrificing Cows for Rituals... A man who suddenly became very rich was arrested cos of suspected fowl-play and they found his wife corpse in his woad-rob ...Whatever your conclusion for these are is not my business, fact is they happened and were reported by National News papers... Some Africans attempted these same rubbish in London and were arrested.. About White people, they never formed or started any Major religion...The worlds major religions are from the Middle East and Far East so dont give them credit for what they didnt start. I have not just lived in the West, I reside here.. This is my home and I write and debate in public because I dont just swallow anything, but aso read and research... For you to ask how I came to the conclusion that Evolution has no scientific backings shows you still have so much to study... For something to be scientific or accepted as Science, it has to be proven and there is nothing about Evolution that has been proven till date! Nothing! All those Early Man, Bones, Fossils, etc have all been proven to be fakes.. If you have access to real internet and have time to study I will provide you with credible materials and you will see the myth behind evolution.... Do you actually believe this earth is even a million years old? There are lots of facts that supports a young earth and you have these so called Scientist telling us lies that Dinosaurs lived billions of years ago, there are Documented facts of Dinosaurs and Man's foot print.. How come they are not publsihing on every book so majority of the world know?... By the way have you taken your time to read or study Eastern Science? I am talking about Mystics or Yogis...The western Scientist wouldn't even bother with them because they will get lost in the midst... I have access to tons of materials and have watched so many programs on these, and my conclusion is this 'The Western scientist dont want to bother with somethings they cant explain, and they dont popularize it too so they dont look stupid because it goes against what they teach"... Google or watch the Movie "Serpent and the Rainbow" it's a story about VOODOO/ZOMBIES..It was based on a Real life story of what happened in Haiti, at the end of the Movie, they added "There are still researching it" The existence of Juju, Voodoo or whatever it's called does not in anyway frustrates hard work or creative thinking... Nigerians can compete anywhere favorably given a fair playing ground.. Your biggest Problem in Corruption (Not believe or existence of Juju) depriving the people of basic things to grow... For Crying out loud you don't even have 24hrs of electricity and most browse the net on their tiny phones. Finally from what I know and have seen here, if a quarter of what Nigerians see, witness happens to these White people, they will believe more in the existence of Juju or Voodoo than the average Nigerian.

rusher14: You need to stop there.
Truth is we are too superstitious which in turn makes us believe in money rituals.
Are the notes made from rituals CBN notes?
The lazy man (not referring to you specifically) uses the excuse of research done by the white people as jazz.
We should keep wasting away the most important resource man can ever have and that's our brain.
Advancement comes from research which follows logic which defies superstition, simples.

People react to their environments, if NIGERIANS are too superstitious then blame it on the country, environment. As a Kid growing up in Nigeria, I used to see Sacrifice placed on the Road (Dead Chicken, Red Clothe, Palm Oil, Cowries..in a Black Pot) Now what do you think this will do to a young mind? And why are the people constantly placing it on the corners of Roads? You see a Mango tree, and they tie Red Clothe and Cowries around it so nobody plucks the Mango... The National dailies reported that Sani Abacha imported lots of Marabouts from Mali or was it Gambia and they were sacrificing 40 cows each day for ritual purposes so if this is the Nigeria people see or know, then how can you accuse them of being too superstitious?

mazaje: Why are Nigerians too superstitious and believe too much in this juju myth?. . .

Why do Nigerians keep believing all all these nonsense?. . .I am not talking about rural dwellers, am talking about university educated people that attended universities in Europe and America. . .A friend was telling me just yesterday that evil spirits are now flying all over Nigerian roads killing people because its december and they know that people travel a lot, This is a man that we are doing PHD together . . .How can an educated person reason like this?. . .Many people I know here still believe that evil spirits and witches still spread diseases around. . .Many educated Nigerians believe they can use juju to get money, get women/men etc. . . .Just recently I was watching discovery science and they were doing a show about a bra that can detect cancer and notify the woman wearing it while Nigerians are busy blaming cancer on witches or evil spirit somewhere. . .How can we move forward when the educated ones still hold unto expired age long mythical beliefs that can never help us solve any of our problems?. . .

Your post is somewhat confusing... Are you talking or asking if JUJU Exist? Or that people are saying they could use Juju to kill or make money? Here is what I think. What most of us or the world hold as Scientific, is the Western worlds definition of Science but we also have Eastern Science (Mystics, Yogis...etc) African Science (Juju? Powers?) whatever you choose to call it. Truth is all these exists. There are Ritual Killings in Nigeria where you see the dead body of a girl laying on the street with her tongue or breast gone! I hope you dont believe the people that are doing these disgusting acts were planning to eat the breast or tongue?... They use these for money Rituals..etc You dont need Discovery Channel to document all these for them to be true... I have seen so many things on Discovery that defies human understanding, so this has nothing to do with where you live or how educated you are, truth is there are dark forces, Black Magic, Blood sacrifice, Witches, Wizards, Principalities, Powers and Yeap a lot of these western people believe in them too, just that they dont advertise or talk about it in the open ...They have Secret Societies, Lodges, Cults, Satan Worshipers..etc If you believe in GOD, then you must also believe there is SATAN. Same way man has access to GOD, so also same tap into the Satanic realm and connect, so this has nothing to do with how many PHD you have..etc. It is real! I am a Christian that have lived most of my life in the west and I take my time to study everything and not just swallow things because it's coming from the West. Evolution that they have taught all along has no Scientific backings yet they have pushed it down our throat and hailed it as science all because they want to wipe GOD out of our memory and this are the same people that are not into Witchcraft and Juju? Lying and trying to wipe GOD out of schools and everything else is already witchcraft and juju joined together.. Look at the American dollars and it's filled with Occultic symbols and you are saying only Nigerians believe in these things..
I will stop here

LeBaN: NONE

What about yourself? You could also be your Nigerian of the year

trojanjeremy: I have always wanted to ask my GF for her genotype to know if we were compatible but each time I feel it's not the right time just yet.

I even once tried to lure her for a genotype test but it didn't work out eventually. I want to learn from your own experiences;

how did you ask for your lover's genotype?

Why should be a problem? It's just like asking about her age so I dont see why it should be a big deal. By the way I just found out mine about 4yrs ago

dec2: Bearing in mind that marriage is a "for better for worse.... till death do us part" mutual agreement, would you go ahead with a partner who although loves you but is a perpetual liar?

First you have to find out why people lie. People Lie most of the times because of the reaction of another if they found out the truth! But what if you wont get so mad or do anything to the other person if you find out the truth? Then the lying might reduce drastically. So personally I cant even Kiss or have any lasting relationship with someone that lies because as soon as we start dating I will make the person know that we can discuss about anything and I wont get mad. The person have to be able to trust me, we should be able to communicate. Communicate! communicate! communicate is the key word and once the person feels she can share sensitive info with me without me blowing up, she would realize there is actually no point in lying... LIE does something very damaging to me and every girl that i have ever dated knows that and we spend a lot of times discussing the Damaging effects of lies so nope I cant date somebody that lies cos they really dont have any reason to lie to me. Bless

May the daughter of Buhari rest in perfect peace.

omotola1: There is no doubt we all know parenting is not an easy task.
Some people consider flogging a child cruel, inhumane and callous.
Would you consider insulting a child an appropriate disciplinary measure instead of flogging?

Look at the Nigerian Society and see the result of Constantly INSULTING people from Kids to Adult
Words are Like Spirits they never die.. The World itself was created by Spoken words... Raising Kids requires self discipline and restrain.. Before starting a family I wifey agreed that we would never Insult our Kids no matter what and nobody else would and so far it has NEVER happened and yeap my boy is at the age they call "Terrible 2" where they will drive you Crazy, but no matter what he does I and nobody else will ever INSULT him and I cant stand these Insults myself cos I never liked it while growing up ... Bless.

kachy: Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has condemned comments credited to the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah and Pastor Tunde Bakare, who claimed that acquisition of private jets by religious leaders diminishes moral voices of the church in the war against corruption and are therefore calling for a revolution in the Church of God.

Speaking in a telephone interview, National Director of Research, Planning and Strategy, Elder Sunday Oibe, urged the Catholic bishop and the former vice presidential candidate of CPC, that if they have anything against the person of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, they should come out and say so, and not hide under the cloak of the gift of a jet to attack the CAN president.

Oibe, who doubles as the Public Relations Officer of Northern CAN, said he who lives in a glass house should not throw stones.

He said: “If there is any clergyman in the country whose constituency is government, it is Bishop Kukah, who served every government in power in the last decade.

“He thinks people have forgotten in a hurry how he served in Obasanjo’s government and turned round to attack the former president, or his fraternity with the former Governor James Ibori and his Rivers State counterpart, Peter Odili.”

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/11/private-jets-can-slams-kukah-bakare/

Please tell this man to SHUT UP! Must you respond to everything? Especially when you are trying to defend something that you truly cant defend... These people are just bringing shame to the name of Christ and they just dont care because they have no shame themselves

Tochi4life: For the Roman Catholics, we all know once you decide to become a priest, that means no marriage again. The question now is, as a parent would you support your only son if he decides to go to the Seminary and become a priest?

I will first teach or show him why that is a wrong choice... Traditions of men vs God
God wants everyone to marry that is why he ordained the first marriage in Eden between Adam and Eve... So his choice should be between following the "Traditions laid down by men" or following God... (It is not good for the man to be alone, so I will make him an help mate) Also I would teach him that Popes and Priest of old including "PETER" who they say was the first Pope married. Having taught him all these I will respect his choice and support him in every way that i can.

Bless

If they have to tell grown ups to put out their phones in such meetings, if they have to tell grown ups to respect their president then.......

Happy Birthday sir, May God's blessing remain with you forever. Amen.

Ramcie: Nigerians sef! Wetin concern una and US election As if we don't have enough issues to contend with in 9ja in what way does a photoshopped picture of Obama change the situations in our country

Nairaland is not just a Nigerian site but people all over the world visit here...

A lot of Nigerians are dual citizens and so the US elections concerns Nigerians and not just Nigerians but the whole world because American policies affects the world one way or another though that's not the reason this thread was opened, but rather to Cub the LIES people are spreading around with "Photoshopped" pics

truthislight: the church is still growing.

It is investment time so he has to thread softly.

When he is up and running in thousands of attendees, try talking to him and see how well you will fair.

I said he is my friend, meaning I know him... He said he has asked God not to make him a Pastor if he will depend on people's money... He is too ambitious to even eye another source of money than the one he makes himself.. He is that rare type that can starve to Death than inconvenient you for a loaf of bread. He is like that. He actually raised up one of the Biggest mixed church here and he never for once look into the Finance or got a single Cent from church...cos that's not where his mind is... I once told him about a topic I had with some Nigerians "If you have money to save a person and that same money is your tithe money what would you do... most people said they would pay their tithe"... When I told him, he said those people dont know GOD, that before anything GOD is first LOVE

A lot of lies has been committed through "PHOTO SHOP".. People roasting humans for Food. Governor Oshiomhole having SXX ..etc The latest lie Flying around now is that of a Guy's private part becoming 3 or 4 because of Blah! blah! blah! All these are Lies, but unfortunately so many people believed these LIES because they saw Photos, which were actually "Photo-Shopped" So here is a very good "Photo-Shopped" Picture of President Obama, and on this pic's he is a Complete White man with brown hair and green eyes. It is my hope that this picture might help prick your mind not to Believe everything you see, especially online because they can be very deceiving. Here is Wishing President Barack Obama a huge Victory in Today's US elections. Bless.

Pastor Kun: It's really heart warming that more and more brethen are having a better understanding of this tithe issue, coming to the knowledge of truth and being release from the shackles of tithes imposed on them by mere men.

As the OP I am learning a lot from this thread quiet alright but trust me nobody alive can impose Tithe on me. Though my Pastor believes in Tithe but he rarely preaches it... I had to ask one day if they actually tithe in my Church. My Pastor is a young man about my age, a very friendly guy that works for his Money... He actually adds his personal money to Church stuff when Church money is not enough...so he is not one of those that are after people's money.
Bless

nairahacker: The boy should go jor after all he have made enough money for banky

There are thousands of kids that are like Wizkid or more talented than him, but that are still struggling to get 3 square meals cos nobody would give them a shot. Nigeria is filled with so many Talented people, the ones that gets Record deals are the Lucky ones while others might die with their dreams cos non gave them a deal or invested in them. So Wizkid should always remain grateful to Banky. Banky did not only discover him, but also nurtured him and made him what he is today.

Hope y'all learn from this lady that it's not about your Talent, but you ability to generate Buzz... Now she is on the front page of NL and lots of people are talking about her, which might have been her Original intention. So do not sleep on Tonto Dikeh yet... Here in Holland, that her song would be a HIT flying of shelves.... simply because of the publicity it generated.
