Yes, religion has really shaped mankind. Most evils perpetrated in the world today are either because of money or religion, or both.

Interesting topic. Definitely, the world would be better off without religion. Religion tried to steal morality but it has failed woefully. Not with the Muslims extremists spreading hate & blowing up innocents to please God, the Xtian clergy fleecing the congregation, sodomizing little boys etc. All you need to be a good person is a conscience. It's not that complex.

And no, conscience has nothing to do with religion. The most peaceful and prosperous people in the world (Scandinavians) are the most irreligious. Meanwhile, the most wicked and backward people (Africa & Middle East) are the most religious. That's a food for thought for all of us.

These animals are using Niger Delta oil money to destroy the country. But what would that coconut-head slowpoke in Aso Rock do? Nothing as usual.

Maybe when Boko kills one of his ministers or his household members, he'll start getting life convictions for these terrorists & their sponsors.

maskara01: Abeg Lukkei? How much do u earn? N55k? U better keep quiet.
If your current job (that's if u have one) was well paying, u won't be using ur useful man hours surfing the web! Mumu! I wonder why administrators don't request for brain check certificates before some people open their Nairaland acct.
"If u earn less than N50k, go back to your village" rubbish talk.....when u no even know wetin be ur country's current minimum wage.

No, I don't earn anything - I'm a toddler. Ode! You guys talk as if you can hold Lagos to ransom with your miserable lives. I think people should stop threatening, follow it up with actions. Leave Lagos en-masse & watch it become a ghost city. She you're the ones that made it what it is. Go back home & turn your states to mega-cities too. Or is Mr. Fashola responsible for the joblessness in your home state?

Rivers, Akwa-Ibom & other states banned okadas long ago & the heavens have not fallen. Fashola has not banned it o. It's just a restriction & you're peeing in your pants, threatening increase in crime rates. Go carry gun & face police now.

pro01: Maybe you should define who a "Lagosian" is. If by that, you mean 'indigenes' of Lagos State, then maybe you should know that you fools have not contributed even up to 1% of the wealth/revenues/commerce that makes Lagos what it is. What percentage of the properties and businesses in Lagos is owned by you lazy fools that think you 'own' Lagos?

Without the non-Indigenes, Lagos State would be as wretched as Ebonyi and Gombe et al. Some of you need to put on your thinking caps helmets. "Go back to your village" bla bla bla. . . Only dimwits would say stuff like that.

Story, story. If you don't have any meaningful thing doing in Lagos, go back to your village & farm. Lagos will not miss you. The last time I checked, Lagos has one of the smallest land masses in Nigeria. Anybody that earns less than 50k monthly in Lagos, abeg relocate.

Found a tiny bullet in a piece of turkey. It was apparently shot to death.

My bro told me that so many yrs ago, when he was in school, he bought fufu at a buka with no meat but he saw a piece which the woman mistakingly served with the soup. Of course didn't tell her. While eating, ready to devour the meat, he discovered it was a giant spider. Aaaaarrrrggghhh!

toygod2: Attention, one thing u guys dont understand is dat, either directly or indirectly,u are helping her to market the song.

People with different mockery picture,saying tonto dis,tonto dat even gives it more promo,making somebody like me wanna download the track and listen to the wackness.

Weda good or bad,i knw it has little or no effect on her financial status....and funniest thing is dat, TONTO is definitely somwia else enjoyin her life,not knowing abt the guys on nairaland wabblin dia mouth on her song.

Abeg,lets save our self the unnecessary stress. Gud a.m

Story! Can you pay her 500k to perform the stupid song at your child's birthday? Or N1m to perform it at a show?

Siena: The only Range Rovers that are worth having, are the full-size Range Rover, range Rover Sport, Landrover Discovery III.

The Freelander, and Evoque are just poorly-built compromises.

Hmmnn that's subjective. It depends on who's buying and how much they're willing to spend on the car. Note I said 'willing' before people start saying it's not a poor man's car.

If you're a young single lady & like the brand, this is your best choice. You're not taking it off-road and it's easier to squeeze through traffic. And the fuel economy difference is significant. I think the Evoque is a great car.

I voted you last night n your video is the best out of the ones I've watched. That amputee video is just playing on people's emotions. Please campaign more on Facebook. You should win it.
I've shared it on my FB page and I promise to vote you daily until 25th. I think you did a good job & I'm proud of you.

NNBB2012: I'm a convenant partner and I pay mine in dollar. I'm really delighted that I'm doing that. A carnal man can not and can never understand the things of the Spirit. Over the ages, Men and women have supported God's work,men of God and their ministries. Our dispensation can not be an exception. Why are you disturbed because some people that have understanding of this are paying? Why not just keep your mouth shut, if you don't understand the things of the spirit? My prayer is that God will open your eyes to see the light.

The thing of the spirit? LOL
You guys have been irredeemably (pardon the pun) brainwashed. It's no longer the white man, it's your fellow black men who are enslaving you now. What's the difference between you and the suicide bomber hoping to meet 72 virgins in heaven? You've been sold a lie and you've bought it in its entirety. Pity!

Mad Cow: [b]LOL!!

Poor advice..

You cant send vigilantes armed with only batons to wade off thieves and criminals armed with GPMGS and AK-47 rifles. Even our Police that are armed and even wear body amour dont respond to distress calls until the perps are long gone..

Let the Vigilantes bare arms jor. The truth is that I have more faith in local vigilantes than I do in the Police.

- Let every neighbourhood come together and organise a neighbourhood watch and sign it up with the Police.
- The Vigilantes should carry semi-automatic rifles as well.
- Every resident of the area must be registered with them, prominent member of that neighbourhood should be responsible for the vigilante group.
- Ammunitions given to the vigilante group must accounted for on a monthly basis.
- Every member of the vigilante group should be registered with the police after an extensive background check.
- The Police should organize seminars and training for registered vigilantes that are mandatory. That way, the neighbourhood can pay for their vigilante to attend and also, Professional Vigilantes would become a source of employment.
- Every district police station would be responsible for overseeing the activities of vigilantes within their district.
- Every vigilante group should be required to have a radio thats hooked to the police freqency to alert the police incase of a disturbance.[/b]

You make sense well.

ikekings: He never said she's too old... He said she's getting old.... There is a difference...

Too old & getting tool old, what's the difference? There's nothing like ' too old' or 'too young' when it comes to getting married. Different people appreciate that institution at different times. I seriously hate this habit of harassing people to get married. Let people get married when they like to, so they can marry for the right reasons & enjoy it to the fullest. I thought that's a no-brainer.

@OP
If your story is really true, I know what it feels like. Your mom wants you to get married so people will not 'abuse' her, moreso if she's Yoruba. Yoruba people care a lot about what people will say. Telling her you don't plan to get married is not a good idea - you'll only succeed in getting her panicked. Just tell her that you want to be patient so you can marry the right person at the right time. Tell her that it's normal for different people to want to marry at different times. She shouldn't take it too personal, and she should forget about what people will say - it's your happiness & fulfillment that matter. Setting a deadline for getting married is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. If you marry the wrong person, you'll wish you can turn back the hands of the clock.

An absolute NO NO, not even car reg. It's ghetto-ish.

joeydozzy: seriously. are you sure you're 29?. cos you need to access your life. do you know you are getting too old to marry? life ain't about yourself for once. make plans, not just for you but for others, loved ones, even your boyfriend that's if you have one.

Dumb point. How can a 29-year-old woman be too old to marry? Abeg stop threathening people with this pointless marriage crusade. From experience, everybody ends up marrying someone eventually. The important thing is to do it when they really want to, so they'll be prepared for its pitfalls.
And yes, life is really about her alone. Nobody chose to be here, so it's additional burden to force people against their will.

I'm sorry but you can't change him, unless you want to overlook that part of him. Though I don't know him personally but people like that will only pretend to change so he doesn't lose you, then continue in his ways after marrying you and has nothing to lose again.

Someone like that will only change if he becomes broke, and like someone said above, when all friends are gone. Trust me, I have a brother-in-law like that. He's as gentle as a lily now. Funny enough, his wife prefers the way he is now sha.

Subsidy is not the problem. It's corruption, govt wastage & inefficiency. What are the timelines set to fix existing refineries & their eventual privatization? What about new refineries? You tell me that imported fuel will cost the same as locally-refined, even privately?

Nigerians, your suffering has not started. Vote for the goat again in 2015.

Ok, I finally got this from their website...

Signs that this year’s edition of Gulder Ultimate
Search will be a bundle of intrigues, suspense,
fun and excitement have started to manifest.
Yet, the show will not be beamed on TV until
Saturday, October 20, 2012.

"Man of God" wan go heaven but e nor wan die. Muhahahaha

gulfer: I am still waiting for the SUV driver that will bost of going beyond 150km/hr, tell you they never luce to tell the story especially on the Nigerian roads.

I've done 160km/h on the 3rd Mainland Bridge with an '02 Pathfinder. However the car started shaking violently and I had to drop my speed almost immediately. I know Siena will say I didn't use GPS but I had to rely on d car's speedo. I don't plan to try it again though :-)

@OP
Abeg try correct this your grammar na. E dey gimme headache.

...What type of car DOES Seun of Nairaland drive?

Simply check you car's manual for the right tire size for your car. It's highly dangerous to use the wrong tire size. Don't kill yourself o.

Did you say that tire is always losing pressure? There could be a nail in it, or the valve may be bad. Why not take it to a standard tire service shop and have it checked out? It may save you some money cos they'll usually be able to fix it (if it's not beyond repair).

But I find it rather disappointing when literate guys like you get confused by illiterate spare part sellers who know next to nothing judging by the kind of dumb advice they give you. Google it man!

aryzgreat: AWOLOWO IS IN HELL FIRE!

What is hell fire? Is that the name of a missile?

41yrs is too far. I wish it dries up in 4 so everyone can go their own way and sort themselves out. Nigeria is a waste as it is now & the oil is the only thing holding us together.

omiobo: 1. Monkeywater
2. Because no work
3. I will take ogidiga instead alomo
4.80%
5. Not only passion but love
6.Yes with puntash
7. I will cope with puntash
8. Oga next question. Road signs no be problem
9.I leave the goods and run for cover

SIMPLE!!!

LWKMD

Ol boy u don kolo tey tey.

It's not flammable at all. It's still rat poison but not the regular types you buy in traffic. Go to CMS bust stop in Lagos and walk towards outer Marina (around where bros Fash "arrested" that BRT-lane-passing soldier that day), then cross the pedestrian bridge to the other side. Under the bridge you'll find many people selling stuff. Just ask for the baba selling rat poison. I call him a rat consultant cos all he needs is a description of the type of rat you want to get rid of and he'll give you the appropriate poison. Just sprinkle it on sliced bread and turn it upside down around your car. You can as well use boiled rice. Repeat for as long as you see the rats. The man will make you promise to come and give him the testimony later. LOL

Please keep the poison away from kids o - they're very potent. And if you guys keep your trash in front of your house, you might want to get a drum with cover. That's the no 1 thing that attract rats. All the best!

pro01: Well, these days I always check my engine in the mornings - for fear of having rats cause serious damage in the engine if I start the car without checking. There has been an influx of huge rats in my compound of late, and they particularly enjoy the 'cosy' ambience and warmth of the car engines - especially those parked for more than a day or two without use. Just last week my fan belt got damaged when I started the engine with a huge rat stuck within the fan belt. Thankfully though, the intruder got decapitated instantly as fair punishment.

By the way, I was wondering how one can make one's engines less attractive to rodents? I'm tired of their unlawful habitation abeg.

Forget it. Nothing will chase rats permanently away from your car's engine bay - camphor, conc peppermint oil etc, at least not 9ja rats, they'll always come back. You need to take the war to the damn rats - but not with roadside rat poison or glue o. If you live in Lagos, i'll describe where you can get some strong anti-rodent poisons which farmers use. And don't worry about their numbers, even if they're 200, they'll all die off. I had the problem sometime ago but after a lot of wasted efforts & money, all it took was just N200 to get rid of them.

Siena:
Then it's up to you to change the way you accept what your mechanic tells you. Man up, and let him know his suggestions are not acceptable. Remember, it's your car, not his, and you're the one paying him.

Or worse still, it's your life he's putting on the line.

I can't imagine the stress of opening the hood everyday. If i'm your neighbor, i'd think you've gone loco.

But how often depends on the age of the car. I open mine like once in 2 months to check the fluids (oil, brake, power steering, windshield washer etc), or whenever i perceive any unpleasant odor, which usually turns out to be a false alarm.

How can someone use a tokunbo brake pad? Haba! That mechanic is a killer. Maybe his name is Tokunbo sha.

No, Jonathan cannot reward people like these. Only criminals n corrupt people like himself.

Enjoy your money jare, good man.
