[quote author=phuck_NL link=topic=749520.msg9060289#msg9060289 date=1314941737]Why can't the musicians release "radio versions"
You can curse for all you care on the CD or unrated video. All you have to do is make a radio version that complies whith broadcasting rules. If you comply with the rules, there would be no reason for any ban. If a radio clean version is banned, then the artists can sue them to court. CREATE RADIO VERSIONS and stop blaming "bad belle"[/quote]@ Phuck NL, d most sensible reply to this thread so far, cudnt have said it better, I believe some of us here are just being unecessarily sentimental rather than being objective. Am a big fan of Dbanj no doubt but that doesnt mean I wont admit to the fact that most of his hit songs contain lewd lyrics, wouldnt blame him though, he got d clue fast, sex, sheer nudity and immorality is d name of d game at d moment. Dbanj shouldav known better with the likes of International artist like Akon who comply with broadcasting rules by releasing radio edit version of the song 'I wanna luv u', Its simple Koko masta, do what you ought to have done in d first place n save yourself this unfortunate embarrassment

He cannot practice law from the qualifications you listed.

perhaps the poster forgot to mention his B.L cos we were called same year two years back.

sammie one:
I am a landlord in lagos and truth be told this is a good development, whoever does not like this should go blazes, I also pray it will also take effect in Abuja

Yeah a good initiative from the Lagos state govt, We can only talk bout its applicability in Abuja only if it works out in Lagos

As if we dnt have enough controversial issues heating up the polity already,

ADint:
Nigerian banks are appallingly disgusting! They never ever have the foresight to see an opportunity and grab it by the horns. It's not about Babalakin being a bad debtor, it's about our banks stubbornly refusing to finance any project that will not make them 20-30% returns a year! - Which is an impossible return on long term projects.

Our 4 biggest banks (First Bank, UBA, Zenith, GTB) range in age from at least 20 yrs to over 100 yrs, yet the combined turnover of these 4 banks at N762 billion is almost the same as 10 yrs old MTN Nigeria's at N749 billion!! How blind are these banks? Couldn't any one of them have seen the huge potential waiting to be tapped in the telecoms industry in Nigeria and set up a telecoms company and bid for one of the licenses in 2001? The licenses cost $285m which they could have easily raised, it would then simply be a case of bringing in a competent operator/investor to run the business.

South African banks are taking over most of the major long term financing in Nigeria. Dangote liquidated all his loans with Nigerian banks and moved the entire facility to South African banks at better rates and longer tenors. Believe you me, the South African banks would give Babalakin the money he is looking for, and they would be smiling back to South Africa every year with their repatriated interest income that could have easily stayed within the banking system/economy in Nigeria, but for the mindboggling greed of our banks!

A very sensitive issue at hand I must say, but clearly kinda interwoven. In as much as I would want to agree with ur position, I still believe ur arguement is a lil bit myopic. I must remind you that this banks themselves do not operate on their own, and cannot afford to on some voyage of no discovery at this moment of financial shake-ups n regulation. You will recall the banking sector is not only in the venture of credit facililties, thus it cannot deplored its entire resources to finance a single project which can solely be handled with goverment's PPP public private partnerhip and other governemtn iniatives related if properly considered with full commitment . This banks at the moment will guard their resources at all cost now in view of the recents shake ups and hurricane sanusi in the financial sector. If Dr. Babalakin decides to seek facility from SA firms to finance it, all good and fine as long as it will get the job done in no time. It is a proactive move on his part, especially at this critical situation in the nations economy. However whether the idea of seeking spiritually intervention on this project is perhaps irrelevant for this discuss. Its his choice to seek God's intervention. Just my take

jst got a bbm broadcast on it nw, Not too sure bout the authenticity of this post based on this http://www.hoax-slayer.com/nestle-banana-baby-food-recall.shtml

Jonathan proposes 7-year single term

, for President, governors • National Assembly’ll get bill soon

Worried by the rising cases of violence and tension across the country during elections, the Presidency has concluded plans to send a bill to the National Assembly for a single term of seven years for governors and Presidents. It reasoned that political violence was always caused by the resolve of incumbent governors and president to run for a second tenure of office.

National Mirror gathered that the Presidency would soon send the bill to the National Assembly after the Senate might have concluded the screening and confirmation of ministerial and ambassadorial nominees. It was also learnt that the Presidency was presently putting together another set of nominees for screening and confirmation for appointment as ambassadors and representatives of of Nigeria in foreign countries.

Reliable sources close to the Presidency told National Mirror that the decision on the proposal to reduce the tenure of the governors and President to a single term of seven years was reached between President Goodluck Jonathan and the leadership of the sixth National Assembly with an agreement that it should be one of the first major bills to be sent to the lawmakers after the screening exercise.

It was also gathered that the bill would be part of the input of the Presidency in the next amendment to the constitution, the process of which would begin shortly after the screening. According to the source, “There is a bill from the Presidency which seeks to alter the subsisting provision of the constitution which provides for a second term tenure and replace it with a single term of seven years.

“The President wanted to present the Bill to the former National Assembly but was advised against it because there was no much time left to the end of that Assembly. “The bill is still a proposal, but why we suggested seven years is because the number of years will certainly be reduced to either six or thereabouts. We know that it would generate a lot of controversies and there would be all manners of suggestions to reduce the number of years. “Why I said so is because those drafting the bill did not state clearly whether the single term will begin with the incumbent President.

It may also interest you to know that because of the tension that always greet the re-elections of incumbent governors and president, it was agreed that beyond reducing the tenure to a single term, there should be a provision whereby the rotation of the presidency amongst the six geo-political zones would become a constitutional issue. “But the problem and criticism that we expect now are that if you include rotational presidency in the constitution, people would now question the moral justification because the President himself is not a product of zoning.

“Maybe that aspect would be removed before the bill gets to the National Assembly, but I can confirm to you that there is a bill on single term to be forwarded to the National Assembly soon,” the source said. The 1999 constitution provides for a second term of office for governors and the president. A former principal officer of the last Senate told our correspondent: “I was personally briefed with the thinking that some of us would return to the Senate and possibly retain our positions in the leadership and we were to support it when it comes, but truly I bought into the idea as a person but felt seven years was too much. “Again, when the law takes effect is also a problem to me because the bill is silent on that very important aspect and that is the much I can tell you,” the ex-lawmakers said.

Who are the morons reasoning with our so called president?

It had better not b true else I see Nigeria (not sitting) but about to open a Keg of Gunpowder, Seriously I dnt knw how ds guys think n solve issues. This just confirms how clueless GEJ is. How can you propose such dumb idea to tacle election violence? What do they take us for ? Even a 5 yrs old knw this isnt the motive behind d 7 yr single term being proposed, As if we ve not had enough problems at hand. This ODECHUKWU called JONATHAN is just anoda terrible Mistake Nigerians made during d conduct of the last election

'Alleged' witch, please. Just because she claimed she is one doesn't mean she is, i[b]t could be mental problems.
smh @ the posters above me.[/b]

Exactly
;DIn ds part of the world, We attach spiritual inclination to anything mysterious

A gud step in d right direction but Nigeria need more than a formidable opposition party.This guys are not made up of angels and saints. A formidable opposition only dislodges the party in power. What happens when they get in power? If they succeed eventually, they will have a lot to do to convince Nigerians that they will not toll d same line of PDP in the next four yrs.

Now this is a tough one, Make it a point of duty to be honest n truthfull henceforth. This goes for both parties

Was simply eventful and challenging, But I still give Him the glory for seeing me through

Its never a crime until you are a caught, am glad d B.O.B is takin these issue with keen interest ds time around. During my days in law sch, one feels bitter when you crack your brain alongside sleepless nites, the rich gets away with leaked question papers.

If Nigeria has just one active volcano n we r all aware of it, y should ds baffle us? The question is what r we doin bout d incidence? Talking? Govt shld stand up to its responsibility. I hope ds wnt lead to setting up of damn committees again, Naija shld tke a clue frm d prompt n collaborative effort of d chilliean govt n member states frm europe, Nuf said!

@all
I have given it a deep thought n have made up my mind to let go off her past n focus on the special thing we share for eachother now which is TRUE LOVE, though a difficult decision to make but the wisest so far cos i jst realised ow selfish n ow i allowed my ego to overshadow my thinking faculty. I feel it doesnt make sense to fault her for something she's alrdy shown enuf remorse n has turned a new leaf besides she never cheated on me in the first place, I b GOD?

I must say i appreciate the input of all of y'all especially posters like [i]andromida, Spiker, kindway, thoniaslim, Mr loverman, [/i]thnx GUYS

Odunnu:
But seriously,what exactly is your problem?the numbr of guys she's slept with or the estimated number of times?

From all indications, d number of times she did it would simply tell u the number of guys may be more than three guys she claimed, thats my crux, satisfied?

@ Mr Lover man
Thanx for ur post, u seem to understand where am coming frm. Am already contemplating the idea of remaining just friends eventhough i know thats really gonna be difficult.

@ThoniaSlim
I get ur point about her being frank with me but u got to understand that this goes way beyond sayin sorry i did it in the past and its never gonna happen again, ' I wouldnt want u to bring in gender sentiments here. The issue is that am beginning to doubt my trust n luv for her cos i feel this is gonna hunt me all the way thru this relationship. By the way am not a saint either but i never expected such a 'dirty' past so to say.

Just like i said its more like a bitter pill to swallow for me. thnx all d same

Hi Guys,
This is strictly for the mature minds here, I want to know ur take on this, I met this gurl, 2 yrs ago and for
one reason or the other we didnt kick it off until 6months ago, just last nite we got talkin about sme stuffs and right now am beginning to regret
having that conversation with her, She opened up a can of worms to me about her past although she told me right frm time that she 's had a crazy past, She said she 's had three relationships in two yrs before i met her and if she was to count
the number of times she's slept with this guys alltogether, its almost 100times and am like wdf!!! Now am so confused bout our relationship cos my heart is almost torn
apart each time i recollect all she's said, I quite respect the fact that she was honest enough to tell me the truth but The problm now is that I luv this gurl and she claimed to love me too! I stopped pickin her calls n replyin to her msgs ever since i discovered this
This is more like a bitter pill to swallow but i dnt think there will b need to swallow it since the relationship is still at its early stage. Gs I want to knw ur take on this, will I be justified if i call it
quit cos I feel its the only way i could get over these. I feel bad taking this decision cos I know she 's been in love with me right frm my service days even before I asked her out, She 's been sending ma friends to beg me to forgive her nd am sure my friends will wanna know whats up cos they know she's for keeps but what do i tell dem now? I dnt know what to do.Just dis morning on gettin to ma desk, my fone beeped n her text reads [center]'Ur silence is rily killing me, I dnt want us 2 have a space cos we r not leaving together yet, I just want u 2 4give me even if ur no longer interested in me. Once again am sori 4 d pains ur goin thru. Had a sleepless nite cos i was crying . I know I have been a bad gurl bt GOD knws i av been righting my wrongs. PLs dnt leave me, Luv u' [/center]
Guys have not really been able to concentrate on ma work since i got to d office, Dis is such an awful start for a working week for me,
I really have great plans for this gurl cos I really wanna settle down but now am beginning to have a rethink on that She is 22 in her final yr in sch nd am 26 working in a law firm.

Lmao!,
This is absurd!
A big disgrace to the Nigerian Police Force. This shows how uneffective and bastardised our police force is. To think this is all they can come out with to combat crime, I dnt think the area vigilantes in the areas will think of such a dumb idea. These punks simply lack the necessary intelligence for effective policing. The entire police force needs total overhauling

knotty:
3million cash on journalists on duty?

An array of thoughts,

1. I pray for my mum
2. Gives kudos to d said lady with the 'load'
3. I remember my first abode on earth,
