Celebrities / Re: Baba Suwe Freed,no Cocaine Found In Him-ndlea by lucabrasi(m): 4:59pm On Nov 03, 2011 |
hannie:talk is cheap,i am accusing you of being a bloody liar,prove me wrong by posting any evidence of you ever being in the uk, you r not just a liar but your suffering from a chronic case of liabetic and need some insulie to keep you going you know what they say about using a bigger lie to cover up hannie:funny enough you are right,he hates travelling and the only local airport he has been is the one at ikeja and abuja the rest is international if you push me i will simply refer to past interviews he has given reporters in the sun newspapers and tribune for you to go read his interview baboon. the difference between me and you is the home training, if you notice i have not said a single negative word of insult towards your parents its just cause of the way i was brought up unlike you hannie:did i touch a raw nerve?loooooooooooool I'm sure you do make money,even okada riders make money as well good for you freakazoid hannie:loool i can only dream of setting up a soap making factory in ikorodu? LMAOOOO OK,I HEAR YOU! hannie:another reason to show you have never crossed the international airport talk less of travelling to the uk.anyone who frequents or has been to the uk before will know that this is a myth.go and conduct your research washing dead bodies is not a job they give just anybody here,you are required to have specific licenses and you have to be attached to the medical profession you will be vetted on different levels besides jobs like that are usually given to white people not black or pakistani or any other race. why would i finish a first and second degree in different uk universities and then go back to washing toilets?even you that did not pass through a single higher institution are not washing toilets lool. if i return back to nigeria without a single penny by virtue of my familial background i have a ready job waiting for me, we are totally different in background besides its too late because i have achieved educationally,financially on my uk sojourn so sorry dude loool keep an eye out,i am moving back home end of next year or beginning of 2013 when i will launch my photo studio biz i will send the link of the adverts on several blogs,mags and tv to you hannie:the quotes above is another evidence that you did not pass through the four walls of a higher institution. let me give you a friendly advice as it might be useful for you in your mushroom one man business, when reading an article or anything always endeavour to understand the background,and everything surrounding it before hastily using it to fulfil your own ends. the thread was about people who want male children,and just like many people in his generation who grew up in the 1950s to 1960/70s i related his experience of wanting a male child which led him into a polygamous situation.which deluded picked up on and was casting aspersions on him. apart from you being an illiterate,you have shown that you were probably taught some home training but you have refused to heed your parent's teaching and instead have sought to disgrace them in public.anyone who holds their own parents or elders in high esteem will never cast aspersions on other people's parents hence i will agree that you and deluded are similar in this manner. what i like and appreciate about my father and my family is that they are honest enough and open enough to admit mistakes wherever they have made it for us to learn from and i have posted it on here for other people whip might be contemplating something similar to learn from. in all the years i have posted that comment with the thousands who have read it,i am sure they would have learnt from that and retraced their steps in the search for a male child. now i will like to ask you where and what exactly is your point again? good home training and a good family name can never be bought with silver nor gold, hannie:looool don't worry about that i know my origin and i am extremely proud of my origin.including all the opportunities i have been open to as a result of this hence i would never change it even if i had a choice in fact the meal i just had and the wine i am sipping now while replying your drivel was courtesy of a nice egunje i obtained from my dear father on his recent trip to the uk who wouldn't want such a dad? |
Romance / Re: Why Are Home Based Nigerians Usually Ugly? by lucabrasi(m): 4:23pm On Nov 03, 2011 |
@poster i won't say ugly what i will say i have noticed is amongst the boys/men most of them appear to have like reddish eyes and the face always shows some stress.i must quickly add that i am talking about the average nigerian not the aircon to aircon types,for instance check out a picture of dangote as rich as he is and the man looks the picture of what i am on about. the ladies/girls appears immune to this cause its the opposite effect with them the average nigerian girl/lady looks prettier and healthier and happier than the average diasporean i have asked why this is so and a girl friend who lives in london said its probably because an average nigerian based girl can afford to do her hair every week end and take time to look good while abroad they have to work all the time including the high costs of looking good compared to nigeria 1 Like |

djustice:mr man a beg carry your propaganda and go sulk in one corner,you are obviously a politician most likely pdp trying to use the general perspective people have of nigerian politicians to score some cheap points!! both obanikoro and the acn rigged but acn probably outrigged them hence the crying. same goes for all those areas you have mentioned its always the same pattern in every state the party with the sitting governor always manages to rig out the opposition a pdp speciality. did obanikoro call role soyinka when he stole and embezzled all the funds at the local government when he was chairman? not only that he got his office and the places where the documents relating to his stealing burnt, he is alleged to have been the master mind behind the assassination of funs williams due to the governorship ticket why didn't he call on soyinka then ? they are all criminals,his son has lost let him go back and take care of his fathers businesses,after all they have stolen enough to last 10 life times or better still he can help his mother manage her clothe selling business on the island |

Celebrities / Re: Dbanj- "my Mother Said I Should Go To Church To Find A Wife" by lucabrasi(m): 9:31pm On Oct 29, 2011 |
Amaka G29:LOL@ bolded,you never know maybe its a vision he got that you are the chosen one Amaka G29:i am getting a clearer understanding of your comments you made earlier now, i do apologise if i came across somehow. however in my opinion church is not just an avenue to serve GOD, after all one can do so in the comfort of our homes,work and any private area but its meant to serve as a meeting points of sorts where a group of people with like minds share ideas,their problems,the pastor and the wife or vice versa even take on the job of unpaid psychologists all year round and visiting gps as part of their religious mandate. i have always believed that spiritual development and christianity as a way of life only begins in the church but the main issue lies in our day to day i.e how do we behave when we are outside the church in our day to day lives? if dbanj doesn't believe in GOD or serve GOD in his own way by now,then going to church might not make much of a difference,the reason why i subscribe to his mother's notion is because most males/females who are in church to serve GOD obviously and also look for a partner have already prepared themselves for that role of a good wife or husband if they are faithful in things of the lord.who knows if the girl that will change dbanj is in a church right now? pastor adeboye the go of redeemed was converted by his wife,as at the late 1980s from what i heard he wasn't even a church going christian but his wife was steadfast in the lord |

Relax101:that is not the way it works,the commission in charge have to run a series of interview with whoever is the owner of the proposed university.coupled with this is the fact that how can you aggregate different religious backgrounds,behaviours,mode of doing business,tribal and family affiliations e.t.c what if they start chasing each other around with hired killers due to money disputes hence it is not practicable. the government of good luck jonathan actually tightened the process of getting the license for private universities in the last year or thereabouts hence the reason for the explosion in fake private unit the process,the interview in abuja is like applying for an oil block |

love-tosin:in case you have not realised till now,each time you try explaining you r digging yourself deeper and deeper in the hole you have found yourself.there is no shame in retracting a negative comment. if you read and comprehend the dictionary meaning you have posted,you are inferring that spider has not been charging appropriately and my grouse for responding is the fact that it is not your business what the man charges even if its ten naira for a year's work.he is an adult and does not need you to spoon feed him advice simple hence the word "PATRONISING" as for my contributions,with all sense of responsibility and humility those who have learnt from me with the little i have contributed via my comments are testimonies and if you have the time to read through my posts. however having said that pls be aware that you are simply a user name to me and nothing more and i really don't think you can learn from me or anyone considering the fact that you are still trying to justify an obviously negative and insensitive comment which you even made in an offhand manner.since you made the comment has spyder replied you with a acknowledgement to take it on board? how many comments have supported your stance since you made it?this shows you what the general people think of it even if you totally discountenance my views. the only reason for my responding to it without ignoring it like most people have done at the risk of derailing the thread is for the benefit of non nigerians who trawl through these threads and might wrongly assume we all subscribe to this flawed notion those i have learnt from and keep learning from i have never been ashamed to admit publicly on here ,you sire are not one of them, |

instead of them to sort out the base symptoms they are busy chasing shadows. the federal government have refused to sort out the endemic problems in the federal universities coupled with that they set unrealistic goals before a private university can be registered due to the law of demand and supply there s bound to be loads of fake private universities cropping up to cope with the high number of potential undergraduates. for instance some of the rules you have to fulfil before being granted a university license is 1.you have to show them proof of at least 300 hectares of landed property 2.you have to erect at least 10/20 structures on this property this is when professor okojia will now deem it fit to consider your license request so what if you get rejected after expending at least 100million? this is the conundrum fuelling these illegal private universities |

Aks:thanks a lot do appreciate the heads up love-tosin:no I'm not thick in the head,i am perfectly clear headed and you wrote your comments in plain english, you told the man to re asses his charges devoid of any sentiments, first of all if you didn't realise, that comment or advise is extremely patronising to him.while i don't personally know spider,i believe he is old and experienced enough at his job to know what to charge so for him to have executed several projects some of which he has showcased on here shows that he knows what he is doing,so you don't have to advise him on his charging pattern or second guess him and his methods. no one is asking you not to charge whatever you like if you are in same field,but the man made a deliberate and rational choice as to his charges so it really has nothing to do with you if he does and clients are happy with his charges. after all you are not his boss,a staff in his firm or business partners.that is my grouse with you and i will repeat my comment earlier that attitude behind such comments is the reason more than 100 million and above nigerians are still tenants with less than 20% left as landlords. Aks:sorry but in your own opinion,is this reason enough for spyder to now turn around and punish potential clients by reviewing his charges "ACCORDINGLY" in case you didn't realise sire,its a two way street while a lot of people including yours truly appreciate the kind and in-depth advise being given on here and i must say i have ;learnt a lot which has propelled me to take the bull by the horn and start my own project,however do realise that these guys are also putting out a lot of awareness about their firms,getting free adverts reaching out to thousands/tens of thousands.do you know how many clients they have gotten through nairaland? how much is the owner of nairaland charging them and how much commission is he/she being paid for the clients they got on here? the issue is simple and straightforward,bra bu's conduct towards his client and the project was untoward especially as the client put up audio visual evidence,including a short written testimony and various comments which evidently led a lot of bra bus supporters/potential clients including myself to be utterly disappointed in his conduct and handling.in a forum such as this,we all have different manner of approach so while some will express their disappointment in the manner i and others have,you cannot discountenance others who are more abrasively vocal that is why its a public forum. button line people will celebrate a good project but condemn a shoddy project ! Aks:i beg to disagree with you,on the contrary a fraudster has to convince the mark(mugu)before getting anything out of them so this comment is absolutely false.i must quickly add however that i am not in any guise or form accusing bra bus or anyone for that matter of being fraudsters or charlatans just correcting a wrong impression. Aks:i think its just you,while you might be closer to these guys than i am,i have read through the whole 52 pages or thereabouts including the bra bus project gone sour, there has been a whole lot of constructive criticism as to resolving the whole issue and also advise to the client on how to patiently resolve the issue with a clear head.rather than demonising anyone on here both you and other professionals on here should commend both the client and contributors on here that the issue did not come out worse or degenerate further. i have seen nigerians arresting mechanics for payments not up to 20,000naira, i have witnessed panel beaters being arrested over less than 10,000naira. what would you have done if the client had gone down that route?obviously both parties would have spent a lot in bribes,and relationships would have being strained if not permanently cut. speaking as a potential client who felt let down and disappointed,i am neither reveling in his downfall or happy at the turn of events.if i did i won't spend time reading through 52 pages of comments, but i make bold to say that irrespective of how awesome he has been in the past he has damaged his professional credibility by his handling of this issue and the only way to repair it is to build and earn the trust and accolades of his erstwhile fans. like the comment i made on the other thread a man/woman/professional is as good as his last job/project pls lets totally discard sentiments as it won't get us anywhere. Aks:true,and we say a massive thank you to all including spyder,bra bus e.t.c however one thing you must not fail to realise is that for me to entrust my project to a total stranger i met on nairaland a random forum online without any registered office that i know of means i have reposed a whole lot of trust in them. for anyone who met any of the contractors through nairaland and then hired them for their project, do you think they have not met other contractors and architects either through family or friends? using myself as an instance my brother's classmate is a fully qualified architect and contractor who has handled several projects mostly on the island. my own immediate brother and sister are both qualified architects who finished at futa now for me to now even consider an individual i don't know from adam,have never met before,have never been to his office before but based on his thread and the knowledge i have ganered from him decide to use him do you know how high the level of trust and regard i have for such person?? that is what you should consider and i am sure if bra bus and the others consider that,it will humble them and let them realise the amount of trust,confidence a lot of people have reposed in them and their ability to deliver hence the reason a lot were disappointed and expressed it. 1 Like |

spyder880:if this was the aim,then there are more constructive and objective ways of going about this rather than making a client or potential client feel guilty if my contractor catalogued all this each time i want to complain about anything i ll refrain from doing so in order not to add to his stress level depriving me of what i want done. spyder880:i totally understand your point,but the point i am trying to make is this, in the kind of industry you are practising in,the lowest job that you will come across will run into millions of naira.remember you are not a fairly used clothes salesman or handling 10,000naira contracts you are handling at an average contracts running into millions in both single and double digits.in most cases some people's life savings,pensions e.t.c so indignant customers,difficult clients,even some whose wife will accuse you of siphoning her husband's money e.t.c in my opinion are all part of the territory. you retain the right to refuse clients,but unless you only take up clients who are politicians and the high and mighty who constitute the privileged 10-15% in nigeria any normal off the mill client will display these sentiments you are complaining about albeit in different degrees, if you can't stand this then i can guarantee it that you can't practise anywhere in the western world because the average westerner will test your patience to the last ebb spyder880:sir,sentiments aside bra bus made a mess of the client's job that is why he was receiving that amount of vitriol being poured on him.the lord is my witness when i first decided on a four flat project in the ajah area i decided to do a dedicated and thorough research into the contractor i will entrust my money to because i have had a horrible experience with lands and building projects in the past. just by following yours and bra bus threads amongst others i already shortlisted one of you guys to get in touch with and start something before the end of this year,so it wasn't just the client that was disappointed but i was as well as others who i am sure are in the same shoe. the reason you have not rested on your oars even though you have been getting accolades is the same reason a 2face,9ice ,genevieve e.t.c will strive to do a better job that the last one because like the saying goes"you are as good as your last job" if you ask me why people started using such strongly negative words towards bra bus,i will say it is cause of his attitude even after the client calmly and eloquently outlined his grouse and his readiness for an amicable settlement spyder880:you are taking my words/comments out of context,in answer to your question i visited last year june pls don't be deceived that same things dont happen here,the only time i have ever been robbed with a gun was in plum stead area of s.e london.my phone was snatched in another area of uk as well yet i have never had this experience in nigeria while i agree with you that there isn't a basis for comparison nevertheless a working contractor here also has his/her issues to contend with .the point i was trying to make is that there are challenges peculiar to builders in both the western world and nigeria for instance how would you feel as a contractor if a buildings supervisor inspected your project and condemned all the aluminium windows you have installed?or all the electrical conduit e.t.c you can't request more more from the client because you have signed a water tight agreement with a penalty clause so you will offset the debt, you are immune from this in nigeria. ask anyone who is familiar with the average british artisan they will resume at 9,work for 2 hours take a gay(cigarette)break of 15-30mins,then work till 12.30 a full hour break then work till 3-3.30/4.00pm and they are done.if you shout or make them angry they will abandon your job that is another vice you don't have to contend with as you can easily get a replacement. racism you don't have to contend with especially if you are using white artisans especially gypsy travellers not only this they will steal all your materials so you can't leave them alone on your project,i have had a negative experience of this nature several times ask anyone about getting planning permissions approved in the uk where i am familiar with it is harder than getting an american visa i know of builds that have lain derelict for years even though the clients had money to finish but no planning approval i could catalogue more issues which you don't have to contend with,the point of my preamble is this even though the issues you have listed are justified and real,there are issues being faced in the western world which you are immune from can you imagine some of the ones i have listed here and the effect it would have on your job? spyder880:that is all very well and good if you do help out the clients,and if i ll say so myself i assume the clients for the most part do appreciate your efforts,but the stress of a building project doesn't only rest squarely on your shoulders alone,the client too is going through their own stress as well having to raise money in order for the contractor to continue working,their own family suffers as well e.t.c if you say you have never gone past a stipulated hand over date then i believe you,speaking from a position of ignorance seeing as i don't know and wasn't there however generally speaking i know with the haphazard nature of everything in our nigeria this is bound to happen to contractors either through their fault or through circumstances beyond their purview hence the comment/assertion spyder880:its probably more patronising than insultive and i have stated my reasons for making such assertion.in my opinion and this is what you should appreciate as well a client spending millions and tens of millions on a project, unless he is a politician or dangote's circle of friends will try to save costs where ever and cross check figures.this should not be seen as an affront towards you the contractor or doubting your integrity but the client stretching the pennies as far as possible.bear in mind that there is no safety net in nigeria in the building industry in the uk if i want you to help me build a bungalow or a garden or whatever and i can't afford it,the system is in place to pay you like 30% and i will pay the rest by finance so the burden isn't to hard on me in that situation the client won't be looking over your shoulder unlike what obtains in nigeria. since i have been reading your threads i have not seen anyone accuse you of any impropriety simply because you are doing a good job,i read bra bus/next home's thread from beginning to the end as well because i trusted him and believed in his professional expertise based on the threads same as numerous people but when we all found acts unbecoming of a contractor you should expect people to react. all i will enjoin of you is to totally eradicate any form of sentiments,he is a colleague of yours fine but remember the proverb which says that if two brothers enter into a room to talk and come out smiling ,then they have not told each other the truth,but if they emerge from the room with frowns over their faces then they have told each other the home truth.my 2 cents |

Travel / Re: The UK officially The Worst Place Live In Europe? by lucabrasi(m): 3:41am On Oct 26, 2011 |
[color=#006600][color=#990000]@redman44 I don't believe the UK is the worst place to live in Europe. If this assertion is true, how come many people from other EU and EAA Countries always troop into Britain looking for work? Some people just talk without examining the issues on ground. The UK is one of the most tolerant countries in Europe. Just go to France as a black person and see the blatant racism you will face as soon as you step into the streets of Paris, Marseilles or Lyon. It is difficult to get a job as a Black person on France than in Britain. Nationals from other EU Countries swagger into the UK and help themselves to Benefits and other allowances. However, it is hard for Britons to collect benefits in Spain, Italy, Germany, Bulgaria, Poland, Estonia, Latvia etc. Calling the UK a shithole is very wrong. Britain has a very efficient Transport System and the Underground in London is amazing with new structures being added on a weekly basis. There are many beautiful places in the UK. One thing I like about the country is that old structures and monuments are well taken care of. Everyday, Westminster in Central London is filled with Tourists who keep taking pictures of the Houses of Parliament, River Thames, Buckingham Palace etc. You will face cruel racism if you go and live in places like Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Latvia etc. I have observed that Eastern Europeans are more racist than the native Brits in the UK. Another thing is that the East Europeans believe Africans and Asians should be below them in the pecking order when it comes to getting jobs. It does not matter if their English is terrible. It is more about skin colour. Most times, people think I am British because of my diction and the tone of my voice. I speak naturally like someone who grew up in the UK but the truth is that I am 100% Nigerian. Go to France without being able to speak French and see if you will not be ignored by the French People. In England, even if you don't speak English, It is easy to access many services. I have been to places like Bristol, Brighton, Watford, Inner Essex ( South Ockendon, Tilbury, Aveley, Purfleet, Basildon etc ), Kent ( Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone etc ) and I must confess these places are beautiful and well organized. You won't know much about a place until you've lived there. London is expensive because it is the Capital City. It is cheaper to live in places like Coventry, Bristol, Manchester etc. It is all about how we organize ourselves with our finances. Germany is another country that I like and the Germans are becoming more open to living alongside other cultures. The British Pound is still very strong and Britain made a wise decision in not joining the Euro. I don't agree that Britain is the worst place to live in Europe. Cheers. [/color][/color] [color=#990000] [color=#990000]it seems you are totally missing the point and didn't read the article posted this survey and the results were done BY EUROPEANS NOT NIGERIANS OR BLACK PEOPLE so whatever results they come up with has nothing to do with what we as africans think of the result. i don't know how long you have stayed in the uk or what areas you have been to but i have spent most of my time in the uk outside london amongst mostly white than black and i can tell you for free that the difference between racism in the uk and the rest of europe is that the average white english man or woman will not show you the full frontal racism but behind your back. you talk about the europeans trooping to the uk,but you fail to see the kind of jobs they are doing working in hotels as cleaners,factory work,plumbers builders ,strawberry pickers e.t.c and most of the first set are actually migrating back to their country go and check and you will find out polish people are migrating back to their country. i have been to france before and while i agree the racism is full frontal pls tell me how many black people work in british airports amongst the ukba or haven't you noticed this? pls tell me how many black or minority ethnic people are practising surgeons? how many minority ethnic people work in the city of london? how many minority ethnic people are allowed to hold posts like i.t supervisors how many minority ethnic dentists,nurses e.t.c have you noticed?most of them are either working abroad even though they schooled in the uk or working as locum staff this are just some of the areas i am familiar with besides where did you learn that people come into the uk and help themselves to benefits??do you know how much benefits in cash and in kind britain also gets from the european union funds??or do you think they allowed european nationals out of the goodness of their hearts? sir,pls don't make assertions you don't know anything about!!!! britons actually collect their benefit from europe,even the retirees who have houses in spain ,portugal france and other eu areas have british post offices there where they go in to collect their weekly pensions. well compared to many places in europe that is why they r calling the uk a poo hole,as poor as spain is their aestethic beauty beats that of uk pls visit germany and how clean and in order germany is compared to uk same goes for belgium and a number of other eu countries in similar level with the uk no one is saying that the uk does not have places of interest but the point is that the result is a wholistic view of uk as a whole will westminster feed hungry people or provide jobs? well,you cannot compare the uk to the poorer eu countries you have mentioned reason? go and search the history books and find out when they joined the eu compared to the uk. check how much they have compared to the uk and also their political history and the upheavals they have gone through some of the eu countries you are deriding now took the heaviest brunt of the 2nd world war when hitler levelled them to the ground where was britain?they were covering their asses and didn't intervene until they had no choice! don't deceive yourself as long as you did not grow up in britain your accent can never be passed off as that of a briton,africans have a strong accent which comes up in their diction and the average briton will tell you immediately unless they are just being polite with you. your assertion about languages doesn't hold any water,how many places in uk or outside london is multi lingual?or is translated into multiple languages?? you speak and understand english thats why you find it easy an average east african will find it easier in france or belgium as well an angolan will find it easier in portugal or spain or brazil so what are you on about who told you the british transportation is perfect,do you even listen to or read the news at all? do you know that transportation in uk is one of the highest in the world? compare train fees in uk to other parts of the world or don't you take the train,bus or drive? i have lived in manchester,stoke on trent,banbury,essex,london,bristol,coventry,leicester and been to scotland and several other areas in the uk and i can definitely tell you it might be cheaper than london but nevertheless it is still expensive.compare the amount you spend on your weekly shopping in the major five supermarkets with this time last year. compare what it costs for gas and electricity last year and the twenty something percent increase this year? check out bank charges council tax and tv license go and check out the roads and hospitals in germany and then compare it to uk the fact that britain didn't join the euro doesn't mean that their won finances isn't in trouble,do you even read the news at all?? do you realise that britain's industries are like non existent?they virtually contract everything outside do you know how many industries have moved their offices out of uk in the past 5 years? i recall dell just moved to europe about 3 yrs ago everything is being manufactured in either europe,india or china go and find out. pls name how many banks you see on the high street has not moved their main switchboard abroad? is it hsbc?barclays e.t.c pls go and find out the premiership football clubs how many are owned by brit concerns? energy company like eon,british gas e.t.c how many are owned by british ? I'm sure you know the main cable tv sky is owned by murdock a foreigner including almost 70% of newspapers most of the houses in chelsea,richmond and a list areas are owned by russians,nigerian politicians e.t.c who don't pay any tax if you think finances are organised then you are living in a different britain to the rest of us,including the prime minister. even the government in power have admitted things are bad yet you are crying more than the bereaved. i will advise you to listen to the news,check economic fore casts before making sweeping general statements you can't know more about the uk than the british who were born here and have studied their economies. so you can't defend their country if they are saying their country is in trouble.the difference between we africans and the average white westerner is that they are not ashamed to say it out publicly if things are not going right unlike we africans while we are dieting we will still claim there is no problems [/color][/color] 1 Like |

Amaka G29:what he/she meant was that you r assuming every single guy saying hi in church probably wants to date you or jump on you or something. there are more mature ways to handle male advances than running away from guys besides for people who believe they are ready for marriage i don't see anything wrong in hook ups in church.apart from their being a higher probability of finding a marriage material both male and female its like a community and melting pot with the added oversight and supervision of church elders and pastors e.t.c chill out not every guy that says hi in church wants to date you!they might simply want to be friends,males have female friends devoid of anything sexual you know, nigerian girls lol |

^^^^^^ if you say so then i agree with you,but one thing i am a hundred percent sure of is that my father is not a retarded,metally imbalanced individual like yourself with the last line of your comment it is clear for all to see that in addition to your mental imbalance,and psychotic state you also suffer from hallucinations and serious delusions probably the only comment which rings true is the fact that you are a cleaner |

spyder880:i have followed your threads and a lot of threads on here for a long while even though i don't do much postings,so i have seen and read about a number of your projects.however truth be told let us stop this emotional blackmail sire,you are not doing anyone a favour by doing a good job,you are being paid for it and also upholding your building firm which you are representing.if you had been a quack then you wouldn't have gotten more jobs or bigger jobs.pls enlighten me why is it that when a customer complains in nigeria they are automatically seen as difficult or troublesome/should i keep quiet and accept any standard of work so as not to be a troublesome client? nobody is waiting for you to fail because the sky is big enough to contain every player in the building trade,if you keep having this mindset then you will not give free rain to your capacity to be at the top of your game being honest and upfront with your projects is not an extra ordinary trait as you are making it sound,if you were practising in the western world,this is expected of you or you wouldn't last in the trade so no one sees it as a big deal,but i guess in a country like nigeria is is like a GODlike quality which only few posses spyder880:nothing comes easy,and you will find that most of these vices you have listed are existent in every single country in the world.you should even be lucky you are not in the western world where the building control representative have to approve your job at every single step of the build including the window frames,flooring e.t.c you don't have to contend with filthy weather like winter,snow you don't have to contend with racism,lazy workmen,health and safety red tape nightmare. spyder880:while you are totally write on the bolded,pls spare a though for the client as well because you don't know what they had to go through to make the funds used in the building project.the same way you are going through this for an honest days job is the same way people are going through a lot to make the millions required for you to execute the build.it is not a client's responsibility to know about your personal issues but i guess its nigeria. the same way the client won't charge you extra like its done in the western world (some call it a penalty clause attached to building contracts)if you don't deliver at the stipulated time which you will agree has happened often in your building career so it goes both ways spyder880:sir,its a very insulting and patronising comment saying that a prospective client wants you to finish a 6 storey building with 100k.an average building project especially in our part of the world is a big deal by any standards so anyone undertaking such has a right to check and cross check every single expenses and to cut costs where ever.besides you won't really blame the average prospective client for doubting considering the horrible experiences some have gone through ? what you will spend to build a bungalow in nigeria will purchase same size house in an upmarket area of either uk or the usa,so when you see people arguing over costs and such like they see it as a lot of money and its money off an individual or family's sweat. if you were going to be totally objective and make your comments devoid of any sentiments then you will quickly realise that those clients making such allegations have good reasons to do so.the allegations are not unfounded and are stuffs that happen and continue to do so since there is no government body to sanction an errant builder or contractor. even in the uk with the laws,sanctions e.t.c contractors and builders engage in the bolded so how can you excuse such behaviour as unfounded or not true? |

love-tosin:sir with all due respect if you don't have anything better to say i will humbly suggest you keep your thoughts to yourself.how can you advice the man to stop charging affordable fees? would you rather he added millions to his fees,so how would that add or subtract from his standard of finish or professionalism?? no wonder nigeria is the way it is.kids in their twenties are taking over the world,in us ,uk you will find guys in their mid twenties who have several rental properties and are supervising building construction but not the same in nigeria because of people with similar mentality to yours. |

Foreign Affairs / Re: Libyans Will Regret What They Did To Ghadafi.! by lucabrasi(m): 9:32pm On Oct 25, 2011 |
^^^^^^ six months is even way to long to wait,the feudal and tribal leaders in libya have started wrangling already over where to bury ghadaffi and his son.pro ghadaffi mostly from his hometown who make up on side want him to be buried in sirte,while anti ghadaffi are also wrangling within themselves with one side asking for him to be buried in secret while the other don't care.the frightening reality is that this will become gradually worse over the coming months so don't be surprised that by the time your 6 months prediction comes round suicide bombing will be the order of the day, something that wasn't exciting prior to the western "LIBERATION' |
