Not trying to play saint here tho,


But what's the aim of all these Big Brother Africa, and Big Brother Naija Thing sef? Someone please enlighten me.

What's the aim of football matches, what's the aim of documentaries, what's the aim of tv comedy shows, whats the aim of tellenovellas, what's the aim of everything on tv....
Big Brother has no "aim", it is just for entertainment, great for tv.

Really, some Individuals do not deserve to get preganant or to impregnate someone, did the kids force you to have them...Irresponsible, Baba ta igbo, Iya se Asewo...i feel for the future of those unfortunate kids.

Explorers:
A couple was on their honeymoon in Australia while this rare photo was taken.

It was believed that the couple entered the ocean together and the husband left his wife lying at the bottom of the ocean.

It is also believed that he must have turned off her air regulator too.

As newlyweds, Gabe and Tina went on a scuba diving
excursion in Australia.

Just before this photograph was taken (by an unsuspecting friend of the diver posing in the foreground),

Gabe was seen giving her what looked to be a bear hug.

In reality, he was likely disabling her air regulator and holding her down until she lost consciousness.

When he finally resurfaced for help, he swam leisurely back to the boat and calmly notified an instructor that his wife was experiencing difficulty.

The diver swimming towards Tina in this photo is the instructor struggling to rescue her, but it was already too late.

Back in America, Gabe Watson was acquitted of murder charges based on lack of evidence and cashed in big due to Tina’s substantial life insurance policy, and the dangerous environment in which she perished.

He was convicted of manslaughter though

I will gladly want to learn from you... could you please list for me and here how Lagos state govt generate their IGR. investigate also about the Ports, then you will understand how Lagos state makes lots of money through it. 90% of projects in Lagos are all federal and company owned. How are they making their money to have a budget of about 800billion while states like PH and Kano have less than 450billion.

I wish i had the time to point out so many things to you but i'll try to just make some salient points
1. Lagos makes good use of it's population, attracts the biggest hotel brands in the world, has the largest market, has the best state security apparatus, entertainment capital of the country....now all these will continue to bring people to Lagos and guess what...they pay tax as long as they live and work in Lagos, they also pay Land use charges and other sundary fees to the state government , yet do you know that it's still about only 30% of taxable adults pay tax in Lagos, all the biggest companies feel safe in Lagos and they also pay personnel income tax to the govt..
If we were practising true fiscal federalism, Lagoswould be rich enough to bail out even the FG, you can send me a mail for a more detailed explanation.

The Mercedez Benz S Class is actually the first car to have only LED Lightings throughtout....No Filament bulbs on this car !

Nairaland should make it a policy not to publish the pictures of accident victims online.

1) Human lives are involved in terrible tragedies like this. Real people with real families and friends. You should at least respect that and not publish such pictures for the entire world to see

2) It serves no useful purpose whatsoever besides people say utter crap like "eyaah" "oh dear" "God have mercey" etc.

3) Have some respect for human life for God sake. If you ever witness such accident, help where you can, but don't go online with the pictures of the victims.

4) Put yourself in other people's shoes and imagine how much more sorrow they will feel when they see pictures of their loved ones like this!

May God bless you. This has always been my position on things like this..

HungerBAD:
Interesting.

The first time I heard about this MMM thing,was when some of my well to do friends from out of the blues started asking me for money from Nigeria a couple of months ago.

When more than 8 asked me for money,I now knew it was not a coincidence,and so I became curious. And I was able to get the information out from 2,who had invested Millions each that it was MMM.

The first thing I did,was look it up if it was legal in the US,since the US is the biggest market for anything in the World.

And the United States classified it as a Ponzi(419)Scheme,and it is totally outlawed by the Country.

There is a reason I go with the US classification of things,as they tend to be realistic about everything.

In the United States,there are no Landcruisers Cars,no Avensis and Peugeot products as they do not meet the United States standards for safety. But these cars are dumped in Africa.

This Country will not touch anything sub standard.

So if the MMM is banned in the US as a fraud,then it can only mean it is fraudulent.

You sure do not know how the automobile industry works...anyways for your information, there are Lancruisers in the US and other toyota products, different products for different matters, Peugeot pulled out in 93 and may just make a come back next...your other points are valid though.

The Mercedes S Class.
Every true boss should own one!

True, one was being driven by my side in traffic and d ride i was driving suddenly looked like a box made out of cardboard.. .These machines are so intimidating and look way better in real life.

As an automobile enthusiast (aka Car Freaks ) there are some cars you know that you would give anything….almost anything in the world to own or drive one, some because of their insane performance others for being such rare gems, one of such for me is the Lamborghini Aventador….No it’s not the fastest out there or even such a rarity but it’s got the looks to die for and the way the cockpit is built…it’s the closest thing to ever flying a fighter jet IMO …
Oh my Aventador…the name alone sef !

So which is that ride that you would absolutely love to take for a spin?

Have your say.

Afonjas Same project is going on in Port Harcourt by prodeco with silly noise online
http://www.prodeco-ltd.com/portfolio-item/construction-and-maintenance-onne-estate-port-harcourt-rivers-state/

Same project.. .as in the same thing.. ..lemme just take it as a slip of tongue and thoughts

alexis:
That is what happens when you become a muslim. You are forced to perform intellectual and historical dishonesty. Islam claims Jesus not only spoke he also formed birds from clay.

Assuming that is true - shouldn't that be a reason to believe His deity. Muhammed for everything we know about him couldn't create life or performed one miracle but Muhammed is on the same level with Allah.

This comparism doesn't even make sense, Muslims don't worship Muhammed, he is nothing but a messenger from God, albeit a special man in his eyes but he claims no divinity so muslims do not worship him, he lived among humans, married and died, the one Muslim worship is the Owner and creator of the Universe, the one that would never die.
Get it.

pato405:
All looking like toys

Yeah... .expensive toys

So here you have it.. ..there are many more rides like the Ascari A 10, even the relativly inexpensive Chevy Bolt.. add yours cc @autojoshng

Honourable Mention – Mercedez Benz Maybach Exelero
By far the most expensive car our list, the Exelero makes its appearance under honourable mentions due to its one –off status, The Maybach was also built in 2004, but that makes its sticker price more impressive, Adjusted for Inflation, it would cost around $10.1 Million dollars in the US today…(Don’t bother converting that to Naira) close to the GDP of a small Island Nation. To see one on our roads would be sinful in fact!

Bugatti Chiron – Bugatti Veyron is now old news, although there are also versions of the Veyron that would be hard to come by…like the Veyron Vitese or the limited Mansory Vivere edition cooked by German witch doctors. it’s latest sibling is not at car dealerships yet, those that have them in their garages are those that have paid for them even before the company started mass production…Maybe we’ll see this one sometime in the future because the name Bugatti somehow seems to excite the money bags in Naija

Rolls Royce Phantom Serenity : The Phantoms are here though but the serenity is like a VVIP section in a VIP club that one has to wait a life time to even get into…looks every other phantom except this is specially made and it’s the based on the Phantom Series two..(Neither Sultan nor Oni has one, theirs are series one) and the taken into some special after production customization with military grade security features

Mclaren P1 – The Mclaren brand has roots in racing, so they decided to come up with a car that feels like a formula 1 car but street legal so they came up with a P1 aka the widow maker…it’s fast, it look menacing…A rocket on wheels really

Zenvo ST1 – assembled in Zealand, Denmark, the Zenvo ST1 is less of a car and more of a caged animal, it creates and obscene amount of power so much the engine caught fire on the Top gear track, the company however claims Top gear’s crew hours of extreme driving of the vehicle led to the fire. Nevertheless…Maybe this one should just stay away from our roads.

Aston Martin One 77 -The British automaker wanted to make a vehicle so exclusive they made just 77 models of this vehicle, hence the name…And the 77 Lucky individuals paid for them even before they rolled out of the factory. Arguably the most classically handsome car on the list, this car is built around a carbon fibre monocoque chassis , with a handcrafted aluminium body giving it its sophisticated , aggressive look.

Ferrari – Yemi Alade would have to do with the more common Ferrari, not that any type of Ferrari is common to begin with but even among the Ferrari Models, The Ferrari Le Ferrari (so good, they had to name it twice) it’s Le Ferrari FXX K, F^) America and the tongue twisting Pininfarina Sergio are not to be seen by just any pair of eyes

Lamborghini : Yes there are some models of Lambos here, but even some Lamborghini are hard to come by anywhere in the world, three of their must exclusive models includes the Centenario LP, Sesto Elemento (sixth Element) and the Veneno

Mercedes- Benz G63 AMG 6x6 : Imagine The G Wagon on steroids with 6 wheels instead of four, with tires you can inflate and deflate according to the surface you are driving on. It was launched in early 2013 and by early 2015, the company declared the model completely sold out, so the only way to get one now is to buy it from an owner….probably an Arabian Prince somewhere in the middle east.

Pagani : Pagani has basically two models under the company, the Pagani Huayra BC and the Zonda, the Zonda has variants, there is the original Zonda, the Zonda R, Zonda R Evolution and even Zonda Revolucion…Not gonna find any on these streets, zondas are so limited some eventual owners had to wait three years to buy one of these bad boys

Hennesy Venom GT : There is a raging argument about which is the fastest production car in the world…many believe it’s the Bugatti Veyron Supersport but no, The Hennesy Venom holds the Guinness book of world records as the fastest production vehicle in the world.

W Motors Lykan Hypersport : You may recall the Lykan Hypersport from its starring role in the blockbuster Furious 7, where the Lebanese supercar crashed through not one, not two, but three skyscrapers in Dubai.

.Tesla Models : Model S and their recent SUV Model X…chance is Naija still has a long way to go before the ride on our roads, for Tesla makes full plug in electric vehicle, no internal combustion engine in these ones, we don’t even have enough power to charge our phones yet talk less of a vehicle…long thing indeed.

Here are some of the automobiles you won’t find on our roads
. Koenigsegg : The Swedish super sport car company has three models in its line-up, very unlikely you would find any of them on Lekki-Epe expressway. It has the CCXR Trevita, the 1 & Regera…exquisite pieces of automobile engineering

Coming up with the list soon, some are as exclusive as they can get, others can be powered well.. .

Even with the current recession, Nigerians are known to buy some of the most exclusive automobile brands in the world, From the Bentleys to the Rolls- Royce’s, Lamborghini to the Veyron…they are all on our roads especially in cities like Lagos and Abuja…Nigerians indulge, due to this current recession though, cars imported into the country has dropped sharply but even when all was rosy, there are just some brand of luxury vehicles you won’t find on Nigerian roads, some because of how exclusive they are, others because the technology that powers them is not readily available or simply some really have outrageous prices attached to them.

will you guys stop this nonsensical ember month urban legend.... accidents happen all through the year and records don't show they abnormally increase during these months.
