Nairaland / General / Re: Unilag Students In Twitter War Over Aristos (pix Inside) by lucabrasi(m): 8:16pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
If they are bu girls then i am sorry for their parents,i hope critics can now see why covenant has placed that much restrictions on their students to think some parents are struggling to pay through their noses denying themselves some of lifes luxuries to pay the millions fortution fees not knowing their children are training to take over from allen avenue and sheraton girls,the ms temi is in sheffield up north uk,shows poverty is not the only cause why women indulge in prostitution. I just pray GOD will never let me choose all these expired hags as a wife and i pray i only give birth to male children ijn no female |
Celebrities / Re: Woman Claims Mercy Johnson Is About To Marry Her Husband! by lucabrasi(m): 8:03pm On Aug 07, 2011 |
@cuddlemi its really easy for you to give advice effortlessly,why not pray to experience similar scenario and see if its that easy to walk away. The fact that the marriage arrangee or not is blessed with two kids means she ahould at least fight it and get some arrangements in place for the children beforw ahe can grant the divorce. Or in your reasoning the woman should solely take care of two kids finances health education e.t.c? Besides you must live in a parallel planet to everyone else if you think only poor and jobless qomen fight for thwir marriages. Ask anyone who is close to remi tinubu,alhaja obanikoros wife,osobas wife and the rest of the lagos politicians wife what they do to ypung girls or ladies who try to get too close to thwir husbands? I know of more than one incident when remi tinubu amongst other society ladies have sent ppl to threaten,beat their husbands gf,even terminate pregnancies and offer the girl money to go away and this is not a nollywood script |

Travel / Re: Why Will Anyone In His/her Right Senses Want To Vacate Nigeria To Live In The Uk by lucabrasi(m): 1:39am On Jul 17, 2011 |
@post i have read the various comments up to page 6 before deciding to drop my comments,suprised busy body has not dropped a comment on here yet sef first off i think we nigerians should learn to read and understand people's comments before going off on our blind loyalty of another man's country.the white man /woman do not need us to defend their united kingdom,they are perfectly capable of doing that as bnp,edl and other right wing organisations have proven. what the poster meant simply is that having being abroad for several years,his visit to nigeria opened his eyes to the opportunities,quality of life,freedom obtained in nigeria compared to the united kingdom. for people saying he should have stayed in nigeria,my reply to you is to learn some basic english comprehension! how can someone who has lived in a country for 11 years suddenly pack up and move back to another country within months?? do you want him to leave without tying up lose ends,do you know if he has a family he has to sort out(wife and child/children parents,job,finances mortgage e.t.c which he has to sort out? how about sorting out a means of livelihood in nigeria,accomodation,schools for his kid/kids,job for his wife e.t.c.? in my opinion i agree wholeheartedly with the poster,i have spent my tenth year in the uk and i would want nothing better than to move back to nigeria but so many things most notably getting a job,accomodation tying up lose ends e.t.c has to be sorted out before i take the plunge. migration and immigration is a natural order in life so for anyone who feels they cant achieve their full potential untill they live abroad good luck to them,but like so many have said risking life and limb including your life savings for the uncertainty is certainly not worth it. fair enough there is uninterrupted power supply in uk but so also is inverters and generators in nigeria which the lower middle class can afford. there is also affordable generating sets average nigerians can afford as well crime is everywhere not just nigeria,the only place i have been robbed and where my car has been broken into ad my house burgled has been the united kingdom not nigeria i cant count the amount of rapes in parks which has happened in the uk,same goes for abductions and murders,paedophiles roaming about so much so that children cant even play outside anymore here i dont even want to talk about institutional racism,the glass ceilings, the buttom line is that in spite of the basic infrastructural advantages in the uk one will live a much better quality of life in nigeria what kind of job will allow you to afford a duplex,house maid and driver,cook washer man nanny and send your kids to private schools in uk? when mao zedong of china was in power during the cultural revolution chinese ppl all over the world resigned from their lucrative jobs to live under the communist government ruling over them,many suffered and millions died of hunger but they did not compare their country to the united states or uk they dug their heels in and stuck with it we can all see the result now and how the same western powers are flocking tochina if you say you can never live in nigeria pls continue eating your artificially processed tescoand sainsburys products,continue eating your day old chemically enhanced chicken and meat continue jumping from bus to train continue worrying about councill tax,mortgage or rent every month and other bills those of us who believe in nigeria are quite happy to go back with the knowledge and enlightenment we have ganered over the years and contribute our quote. |
Food / Re: How To Choose The Perfect Steak. by lucabrasi(m): 2:06pm On Jul 16, 2011 |
^^^i have actually tried it out and i chose one of the most expensive meats on the top shelf,seasoned it for 2days and ot came out really nice although it wasnt well done for some reason even though i left it on for like 7mins either side. it came out slightly pink on the insides especially in the thick middle bit but well done on the thinner sides saw a potatoe recipe on the side of the bag of potatoes which i tried out highly fattening but nice it said to boil and drain the potatoes,then slice into chunks then heat 2 spoons of butter then fry the sliced potatoes |
Politics / Re: Jtf Accuses Borno Elders Of Backing Boko Haram by lucabrasi(m): 2:02pm On Jul 16, 2011 |
mathskill:while i agree the fault should not be placed on the northerners alone,they have constituted a whole lot of the problems right from pre independence to now. the dynamics of the niger delta issue was totally different from that of boko haram.for one the whole niger delta issue was confined to the creeks and swamps boko haram is terrorizing the whole country which is unprecedented,no one is safe and worse is that it is with the active conivancew and collaboration of foreign islamic terrorists how many police headquarters did the niger delta blow up? if you really think boko haram dont have a mass followership in borno and other northern states,then you tell us what has sustained their followership and how have they been covered up till now so much so that no single influential backer or collaborator has been arrested so far, isnt it funny that the only ex deputy govenor suspected is in far away china or so and he has never been named publicly by the police? how many boko harams have been prosecuted even before the present crop? the fulanis who cut pregnant women open and committed all sorts of atrocities in the name of the north in jos a couple of years ago where are they now including the ones that were arrested in the aftermath? the church are building their own private universities with their own funds why cant muslims too build their own unioversities and madrasas and then do whatever they like in the confines of such must they impose their sharia on the rest of us? how will you feel if we too wanted our own christian laws to be recognised in day to day governance yes but what caused that coup in the first place?have you forgotten it was connected to same northerners? and if you look at all those armed robbers,drug dealers including diasporeans like us who are slaving away in another mans country it is as a direct result of failure in northern leadership over the years. for every anini there is an ibb still enjoying his looted billions without fear or challenge. for every drug dealer who was caught with a few grammes or kg of drugs in their bid to make a better life for themselves there is the abacha family,turai yar adua and co who have killed and maimed lots of people,stolen our collective money and commited all sorts of atrocities without sleeping a single night in jail. it is true that these corruption,nepotism cuts accross ethnic divides but presently the focus is on the north and historically the north has contributed more than an other ethnicity. 1.why have northern leaders not done anything so far to curb boko haram 2.what has been the result of the governance of the majority northern leadership since independent 3.why are the same people who jailed asari dokubo,gideon orkar(who by the way is still in prison) now calling for dialogue in boko harams case? i would have though what is good for the ogoni 9 should be good for the boko haram leaders too? |
Politics / Re: Jtf Accuses Borno Elders Of Backing Boko Haram by lucabrasi(m): 11:38am On Jul 16, 2011 |
that is the most annoying thing of all!! they have been investigating for months now and have not been able to uncover or are shielding the financiers and collaborators of these boko haram people.the president should have given the ig ,sss and others an ultimatum to produce visible results in form of collaborators and financiers especially influential or they will lose their jobs but he is ignoring the problem probably thinking it will go away all we are waiting for now is for the niger delta and massob to start their own and we will then know if the country will devolve into another civil war or another somalia. the silly lily livered,weak,clueless president is busy shielding his people and recycling old dirty corrupt politicians while the country is burning,a strong willed president and commander of armed forces will have taken decisive steps than negotiating with terrorists how can any sensible person negotiate with terrorists? now he has emboldened them and shown that he is incapable of dealing with the situation,this is where experience of governance and being in a combustive situation like war comes in and so far goodluck is failing miserably |

stupid people,talk about misplaced priorities very soon they will be comparing the drainage system with that of the united kingdom not realising that those drainages have been planned and built many hundreds of yrs ago. the country is in a melt down terrorism,economy,education e.t.c and they are issuing statement over a single governor. like emperor nero,fiddling while the whole town is burning down. having said that i think fashola should deploy the same level of determination and resolute will in dealing with our people on the dumping of refuse and building on drainage channels,people take liberties because they feel like no one can stop them and often the omo oniles will sell any land irrespective of where it is located,he should have a lastma kinda body to check and possibly arrest or fine people who contravene these environmental laws to re instate and build proper drainage channels in a place like lagos will cost hundreds of billions and cannot be completed anytime soon so he will just have to make the best of the situation |

lastpage:Again I will repeat that whomever has the mindset that environmentally friendly houses are unsafe is not enlightened and have not travelled out to see how far the western world has gone. I hope you have heArd of fire proof technology?? Besides when they say a plastic house,they don't mean literally plastic like the cup you drink muni in,it just meNs plastic as one of derivatives which will be mixed together with other stuffs. Tapping the stud Walls won't even show an indication of the plastic materials pla try and google to know more about environmentally friendly wYs of house building |
Properties / Re: Nigerians To Own Houses For N1.5m Soon - Developers by lucabrasi(m): 8:12pm On Jun 25, 2011 |
Thank GOD for some common sense at last and I believe this is long overdue.in an era Where developErs,architects are mindful of the environmental impact of materials used in building we are still using tons of concrete to construct both external and internal stud Walls.for people talking about safety it is either you have not travelled abroad or if you have,then probably not seen the modern environmentally friendly way of building in western world.my only concern is if the cement cartel heAded by dangote will allow this to sail through and not use one of his minions in govt to block the initiativep |

Politics / Re: Awo Family Without An Awo By Sam Omatseye (The Offensive Article) by lucabrasi(m): 2:30am On Jun 11, 2011 |
Katsumoto:fair enough no one is disputing that fact,we got the lincense to acess her life and to make comments concerning her marriage to awo as soon as she took the headship of the yorubas. secondly what the man said was that if awo was alive to see how tainted his ideologic and political family has become as a result of the people his wife was associating with he would be so angry that he would divorce his wife.now lets face it is the man right or wrong? will awolowo champion the cause of the gbenga daniels? the oyinlolas? will awolowo under any circumstance cross over to n.p.n now imagine him getting the news that his wife has been hobnobing and fighting the cause of his political opposites? besides let us not not be naive here nelsaon mandela called winnie all sorts of lovey dovey names,she was there for him for 27 years if nelson mandela had died who would have though they would be divorced by now? Katsumoto:true but note that i said as the head of the editorial board,even the editor reports to him so he is more powerful than the editor besides why would or why should tinubu dictate the kind of articles that will be published? |
Politics / Re: Tinubu A Supplanter - Awo's Granddaughter by lucabrasi(m): 11:22pm On Jun 10, 2011 |
Pastor Ola:did you een read the article at all? neither mr omatseye nor even tinubu has ever doubted your comment,in actual fact according to the retort ofawo's granddaughter,tinubu reportedly said he wished he could achieve 45% of awo's achievement. mr omatseye himself lauded awolowo and his ideals in the article but some ppl because of their mischief conveniently suffered an amnesia concerning those paragraphs |

Eko Ile:this is a million dolla question i will love an answer to as well. they have even left mr omatseye alone,some people are now pouring vitriol on tinubu as if he is the one that wrote the article just because they are afraid of his rising and status as an influential political figure. how come no one remembered the asiwaju title when the man was fighting obasanjo and during yar adua time |
Politics / Re: Awo Family Without An Awo By Sam Omatseye (The Offensive Article) by lucabrasi(m): 10:58pm On Jun 10, 2011 |
Katsumoto:i know this comment was not directed at me but i couldnt help but comment on the bolded,lets get down to brasstacks now pls state exactly how he went too far? Katsumoto:lets agree for the sake of this debate that he told tinubu,if he was in the habit of sanctioning a head of the editorial board on what stories to publish wouldnt he become more infamous as gagging free speech?his rabit haters will say the acn godfather from lagos has started gagging the staffers in the nation. pls let us not fail to realise that while we were all fighting for the freedom of information bill,these are the kind of stuffs that freedom of information will begat are what is coming up now.im sure you v seen the many views denigrating jesus christ evethough we dont like it and condemn it,its the freedom of speech. |
Politics / Re: Awo Family Without An Awo By Sam Omatseye (The Offensive Article) by lucabrasi(m): 9:04pm On Jun 10, 2011 |
@katsumoto while majority of your comments is right on the money however,i disagree that the woman was attacked the fact that she is the wife of awo shouldnt somehow place her above recriminations.if the likes of the queen of england and her consort prince phillip who are in same age group as her could be criticised then i dont see the big deal in somehow placing her in a god like pedestal. if you read the man's article ,which many have not taken the time to read,it was written in form of his own private musings whch i dare say is an accurate depiction of the state of things. irrespective of how wide spread or far flung tinubu's influence is ,sam omatseye is an adult and the head of the editorial board of the nation meaning he doesnt need to get tinubu's approval before publishing such article. tinubu and omatseye are not the one acting in a childish or juvenile manner,it is the likes of babatope the betrayer,oni,oyinlola and their co horts venting and pouring vitriol on tinubu who has remained silent since. |
Politics / Re: Tinubu A Supplanter - Awo's Granddaughter by lucabrasi(m): 8:32pm On Jun 10, 2011 |
Babasessy:this write up is objective,factual while she roundly condemns what she sees as the attack on her grandmother she nevertheless acknowledges the realities on ground unlike the many puerile and juvenile attacks on the man sam omatseye and tinubu.however she must not fail to realise that 1.the man acknowledges the contributions of awolowo,what he has a gripe against is the fact that awolowo's wife seems to be betraying her husband's ideals by being partisan. that is what should be addressed,its obvious the granddaughter is stealthily acknowledging this fact at the bolded.its like gani fawehinmi's family being a frontline supporter of pdp |

Politics / Re: Awo family/Tribune Vs Tinubu & co/The Nation/ACN: The battle continues by lucabrasi(m): 3:47pm On Jun 10, 2011 |
@post this isjust utter tripe!!! so what if h.i.d awolowo is over 90 yrs old,does that take away from the fact that she has compromised the ideals her late husband stood for?? why are we yorubas so irritatingly hypocritical?? winnie mandela also stood by nelson mandela for 27 years,that didnt stop her being jailed for offences committed, when the queen was out of line concerning lady diana she was told off even though she was in her 80s,when prince phillip 90 yrs old made some comments he was told off being 90 something does not mean you are now a goddess or that we should worship her. if h.i.d desires to be accorded the respect due her age and time then she should emulate the likes of the queen of england who is same age group as she is and not be partisan in her political support. anyone in doubt should check tribune headlines all through the week concerning the justice salami saga and also the headline Senators uncover destabilisation plot •ACN leaders fingered •The 2015 connection when you now actually read the article,they are talking about acn looking to oppose david mark. what else would you expect an opposition to do,applaud everything david mark a pdp senate leader says?? so what if tinubu wanted to buy the tribune??the question should be how many copies are tribune titles shifting currently compared to the nation titles? a man sam omatseye in his 50s of sound mind and intellect wrote what in my opinion is an objective article based on his thoughts and everybody who i am sure have not read the article nor if they have dont even understand it are screaming to crucify tinubu just because he owns the paper. |
Politics / Re: My Father Would Have Checked Boko Haram, Says Mohammed Abacha by lucabrasi(m): 3:29pm On Jun 10, 2011 |
really i believe abacha would have checked them first due to him being a northerner and also being a soldier with a resolute will,it takes that kind of will to depose a northern emir without caring about the backlash. however i personally believe an intelligence led onslaught against the boko haram is the only solution not force |

Kilode?!:i reallydont understand what you mean by"cleaning up your reply"i have gone through it again and with my limited written english skills,i believe all that i have written is clear,concise and in plain comprehension Kilode?!:i guess you did not see the instance where i mentioned statesmen like papa bush,in adittion to this are bill clinton untill the present time jimmy carter who plays the same role as the objs,ibb and co if you r looking at the uk people like ming campbell and others i cant readily re call their names now and btw there is nowhere i mentioned or inferred that anyone of these people are "perpetuated in office via constitutional arrangement unless you ll like to show me where i did? Kilode?!:yes i do,and if you recall in my first comment or so,that was precisely why i said that they are there in an advisorial capacity,they cannot impose of force their views on the president/commander in chief so theres no difference really when you look at it this way Kilode?!:you really should go through comments and retorts we have made then you will see the reason and contexts of some of my comments,im not just making them in a vacuum.it might not be about age but there is a reason why experience plays a large part than educational attainments/ even in any company worth its salt including western world,they value the work experience more than any other qualification in considering a potential employee. moralof my pre amble?the combined experience of wellover a century locked in those statesmen's head needs to be properly utilised,think anything of them bit they will always have nuggets of wisdom nestling within advices,comments no matter how idiotic. i believe ibb actually. why you ask me? well dimeji bankole is one reason. the so called youths reveling in the filthy lucre of "transport money" from gej is another reason. the likes of dbanj,genevieve,ty bello,chude jideonwo and others making self serving and kiss ass statements is nother reason so dont blame me for subscribing to IBB'S views Kilode?!:pls check above,i have addressed this btw i will be interested if you can show me a number of youths who have done a quarter of what the likes f gani,beko and co did in their time or that have showed a quarter of moral probity/uprightness like those gys, Kilode?!:again this has been adequately dealt with ,pls refer to comments above they do not unduly,note the operative word[b] unduly[/b] influence anything,ibb/buhari in concert with atiku came up with a candidate but lost.the great obj lost in his ward and state his daughter lost her elections so what influence exactly? Kilode?!:well,like i said irrespective of the notion behind it,the reality is that they cannot enforce their views,they only have a relatively ceremonial office and are more like a rubber stamp,the last elections has shown this clearly. its like saying that the queen of england has the power to call ageneral election because the constitution gives her the power to consitutionally utter the dates. we all know the power resides with the pm in cabinet and just like the council of state the power is token/ceremonial Kilode?!:well they are clearly not ruling even their wards,talk less of state so i will be interested if you show me what or where they are ruling. last i heard and read obj's candidate for governor lost for senator lost,for speaker of reps lost Kilode?!:i dont know about state sanctioned or constitutionally empowered but look around you and you will find cronies and godfathers everywhere who or what is lord levy to t blair? who or what is rupert murdoch to the conservative party? this page will not even be enough to list the godfathers the tobacco and oil magnates behing both papa bush and little georgie the tea party movement are being funded by godfathers who just like their nigerian counterparts have even remained hidden Because we can't possibly have a world without murderers doesn't mean murder should be accepted. get it? Kilode?!:i will suggest you do a cursory study of the peculiar nature of the nation called nigeria,compare GEJ's lukewarm,nice friendly government with obj and other's government, the bombs are still going off, politicians are still taking undue advantage of his nature,everything is crumbling around him he ie even giving away too much concessions besides in a presidential system of governance being nice,cudly friendly e.t.c has not worked yet unless you will care to show me where it has |
