[quote author=senbonzakura_kageyoshi link=topic=673630.msg8379146#msg8379146 date=1306178013]i think its a tad too early to pass any judgement on the man (jonathan) yet. howeer, his first few steps before inauguration are ill advised and apoear not to be well thought out. Ordering cement to manufacturers to drop the price of cement? good idea, no plan. he's asking them to drop the prices as if there no factors determining such and that cement manufacturers fix the cost of their products just because it is their aim to make nigerians stop all forms of building. we didn't hear of any discussions between government and the stake holders in the industry to come to a price that will favour both parties.

NNPC to fix the refineries? With pretty much the same set of people that siphoned money from efforts to revitalize the refineries? He'll still vote money for the repairs and refurbishment, money that will still fall into the same or similar set of hands as those that were there when obj did something similar.

Now its Dimeji Bankole for a ministerial slot, a man that should not even be consdered at all.

I hope these are not the kind of stories we'll be hearing about GEJ over the next few years.[/quote]so if you were president what would you do different?you expect him to wave a magic wand and clear up all the corrupt ppl and make everything right magically?

^^^^^^^^^ since you know mobolaji bank anthony it ll be really easy to locate then,trust me you havnt had the asun that i had or you ll totally change your mind, while out on a semi business trip,i ended up in a place called alakuko with the man i was with in a beer parlour the asun was out of this world if you cant go that far then there is another place in i think ketu area and the asun is made by profesional ekiti people so needless to say it ll be a+++
i didnt try the onipanu joint but if you can locate senior police officer's mess in gra ikeja mostly evenings go and try the whole catfish barbeque with thick chunky chips and side, but go with people o before you become DPO wife

also if you are a member of lagos country club,the ofada rice inside is top three in the whole of ikeja that i have tried its sought after so much that their rice will finish 4/5 hours after they open shop even though only members are allowed in the club.

Andre Uweh:
What is your favourite Igbo praise name for God?.

check the youtube link and you ll discover my igbo praise name

orisa bi oo le gbemi she mi bi o she bami loosely translates diety/god if you cant help me/my situation then pls leave me be in my present situation.
the rationale behind this proverb is that rather than worsen my situation from bad to worse,fryingpan to fire let me be in my present situation

kaka ki kiniun she akapo ekun onikaluku a she ode loto, loosely translates that rather than the lion (kiniun i think?)being the keeper of the meat belonging to both it and the leopard,each one ll go off and keep its own meat(i know the explanation sounds dodgy but theres no easy way lol)
the rationale of the proverb is that rather than someone cheating and making your situation worse you ll rather go it on your own terms as it will be better than the present situation

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=672843.msg8369545#msg8369545 date=1306037873]when you act like witches, you scare men shitless and drive them into the arms of other races/nationalities who, even if they're also witches, keep it under wraps and hidden.

so, try to act like you havent lost your feminity- it can only help you.

if you dont know what being feminine means, google it.

the vampire persona doesnt always work everytime, no matter what the movies say.

even a hardened cultist would bail out at some point.[/quote]im sorry but you are first in that department so physician heal thyself

jollof rice in nigeria
wollof rice in gambia where it actually originated from precisely in the gambian village called wollof

kandiikane:
aloy, I think you should do research on that matter, jollof rice is not a creole dish but a wollof dish.

you r totally right,always though it was a nigerian dish as well untill i learnt different the gambian style of cooking the rice is actually ten times better than our naija one.
i should know ,dated a gambian chikito

@post
maybe you have not had goat meat properly done forget pepper soup
if you happen to be in nigeria,look for the local goat with the after smell/slight odour those are the tastiest and then get it cooked into asun for you and i promise you ll be converted for life i moved my ticket foward last year and paid 100 dollars just because of this delicacy

[quote author=Busy_body link=topic=672152.msg8369068#msg8369068 date=1306025166]Awww, you shoulda invited my eba mi o waste yansh along na, afterall i would not be greedy and take more than one cooler of takeaway home

For Gods sake: what does


have to do with this trash below?



Some people are really stupidddddd. Talking about PDP, wtf?

i am very sure you are high on some prime skunk,go drink garri or get some food to relieve you

Andre Uweh:
Just that am not comfortable with that betrayal aspect because every region does that, no point to single out the South east alone.
Anyway, if the south west gets that, no qualms. An ordinary man in the east does not care about who gets the position of this or that but wants to see a new way of doing things. For example, security improvement, prices of goods fallen, a network of good roads and bridges, regular power supply, creation of jobs, improvement of amenities in the health, education and other sectors.
They will revolt against any govt that denies them this basic amenities not who denyies them the assaulted speakership position or whatever.

the reason the south east is singled out is because the south east are the ones complaining of being sidelined,now umeh has added his own that it is a sin to give south west as if it is the south west's fault that they have not gotten their acts together, while the south east are saying its either senate house of rep or nothing people like obi's apga have already signed up to the government of national unity breaking the ranks now whose fault is that obasanjo??
before you blame anyone for the rovision of social amenities blame your governors first

i dey o trying to keepmy head above the auserity, i was going through some old threads and reading all you gys comments and i couldnt stop laughing lol
was in your neck of the woods about two weeks ago for awoof barbeque,in dagenham they suppose rename that place lagos o cause nigeria has taken over
abi o let the yeye weather change so we ll start experiencing proper summer,when one MOG is using 4 private jet now the environmental degradation is the cause of the global warming affecting everything including the weather

Andre Uweh:
Quit chatting crap, south west politicians betray their own people more than others. Checkout those who betrayed Awo. How about Abiola, and the other general who wept sometime ago. Even the south west monarchs have betrayed their people more than any other monarchs from other region.
All this hypocrisy has to stop.

here we go victm mentality again, whats your own with their affairs?umeh was complaining about the speakership being zoned to the south west as if he was expecting them to give it to the south east on a platter of gold, whoever betrayed one another in the southwest has no bearing on the present political equation and if the south east politicians dont look inwards and make cohersive statement,then they wont even get the sgf post.keep on abusy obasanjo and south west while they are networking and pushing their own interests

even though i didnt believe it,i dismissed it outright whnen i read in the news that the pastor himself refused to withdraw his life savings and give it away quiping when asked that whats the use?lol

its not the south west he should be worried about but his fellow south eastern politicians, they are the ones who are in the habit of betraying each other and selling each other down the river at the first hint of financial inducement or ministerial posts.
the southwest are not expected to be fighting the south east's battle if obasanjo is pressing for south west let them to bring ojukwu,ezeife and others to fight their corner

@busybody
happy new year o,but im afraid i ll disgree with you concerning this ooni of ife strictly on moral grounds ,the man has been divisive and partial in his support he has been the architect of confusion amongst  osun state politicians some of who are young enough to be his children all because of the filthy lucre of contracts.
it is totally wrong of him to encourage smaller obas to disrespect the alaafin of oyo just because he is richer and more influential than the man,no matter what he cant live another 50 years and if he continues with these trend of trying to re write history because of his ego it will come back later to hauntthe yorubas, i read a comment where someone mentioned the queen of england which is true mama charlie will never put any of her family or fellow royals down in public even if she is cross with them and this is simply to protect the royal institution.that is why the british royal family are respected all over the world.
the man is not only ridiculing the yoruba royal insitution by his actions,but bringing it into dis repute,
i will love to see how he will relate to action congress governor and other party officials with the way he has burnt bridges by openly and unashamedly supporting pdp

[quote author=Busy_body link=topic=672152.msg8368665#msg8368665 date=1306015370]Wow, look what the cat dragged in So its been two years And to think I just mentioned your moniker and Pataki's about 4/5 days ago in some food thread, lol
