for the one millionth time,the gbp3000 is not visa or entry fee...it is a bond....like a possible fine if you dont leave their country at the date you agreed at the point of entry!
why will somebody with N500k not buy keke marwa instead of going to be a destitute in UK?ticket fee,visa fees,sustaining urself before u get a demeaning job in UK will cost more than N400k.
as for me,if the gbp3000 will make their officials treat ordinary business visitors with respect then its ok because left to our corrupt politicians the fewer the nigerians who have tasted better infrastructure the better for their embezzling runs,you know,if you have not been on metro train how can you demand that one be built.international exposure is a good thing.posters who dont anything better thing to say than if nigeria was turned into heaven pple wont leave should kno that
there are pple who are from 'better' countries who still travel to settle in rural areas of poor countries

the gbp3000 is refundable if there is no default abi?
if a refundable fee of 750k will guaranty a visa,is that not better than paying an 'expert' 250k with no guaranty of entry?
this fee is prohibitive for 'working visitors' no doubt, but if it will eradicate or reduce 'special treatment' at the point of entry then its not so horrible for many normal visitors,besides who says work cant be done in the valid period?a lot of pple joggle validity period in dubai.
like someone rightly posted,nigeria did ghana must go,how was liberia created?nazi and jews nko?do u kno how many whitemen have had their dreams of becoming professional sportsmen and musicians truncated because they have to compete with blacks,do yoruba pple not show pple that lagos is not no-man's land?
in every society,there will be pple who will loose oportunity because of added competition from immigrants/foreigners.
without checking,there are institutions making good money from immigrants/visitors,what pressure on what infrastructure?what is free in UK?
there are many nigerians with UK visa that dont bother visit.
no be for our eye,black man become presido for america in the lifetime of many whites that yelled the n-word at MLK?

the porn and sex industry thrives in countries with much better economies,better security personnel and infrastructure than nigeria,the problem with commercial sex is the 'middle men',i mean the pimps,madames,brothel runners.men and women will never stop using sex to manipulate each other.the continuous denial that sex has become a service is not helping,pple are already buying eggs,sperm and renting sergeant mothers to carry their embryos and its ok but when it comes to sex we all become hypocrites.why is it always women that are sex slaves?no complaints if a houseboy is banging his madam.i said the middle men are to blame but to their credit,there are a lot of 'sickmen' that will refuse to pay if not for pimps/madams that will enforce payment.crazy world

katsumoto,i like your excerpt [Source - Tishkoff(2009), "The Genetic Structure and History of Africans and African Americans"]
how can anybody talk about any sensitive human issue without saying something thru the genetic/geneaological angle.
studies of present day pple living in england show that they are more closely related to Spaniards but ask them about their history and culture and they'll cling to anglo-saxons and roman influences,who came as conquerors and rulers but the everyday pple on the british isle were pple who migrated northwards from spain!
some igbos claim links wit isreal without bothering to do a genetic check.
over 20million nigerians speak english today,maybe in 500years time some of our descendants will claim they migrated from england.
there is a reason yoruba which some pple say is the original language of the oyos became wide spread in what is present day SW nigeria[most likely related to survival in the slave trade era,the oyo empire along with the benin empire helped nigeria earn the nick name 'slave coast',remember we had 'gold coast'& 'ivory coast'.
katsumoto please open a thread on genealogy of nigerian tribes,all this 'we are from egypt' jokes should make may for sound logic.

nice works, it funny how almost all the artists know how to represent a black woman but black women and their hair dressers and artificial hair producers give us a different reality

abdulkayus: Hmmmm, bt u can hardly get issues like dis in d north. Mehhhhhnnn, its very very hard for u to get a gal dat is pregnant out of wedlock in d north. Dey abhor it alot, unlike in my Yoruba side where ppl dont even giv a damn at all. And its d society dat cos it. Many ppl in my south west believe in preg b4 marriage, i dont know y. Dat is wat hausa ppl call auren wajoko. I blame d society.
So, to me, if we cannot stop teenage pregnancy, i dont c d reason in condemnin early marriage. Atleast its better to get married early and hav a child, than to be gettin preg up and down out of wedlock and still fuckin anyhw.

early marriage to you but how does the modern world define it?it is called forcing teenage girls into sex slavery and baby making.anybody,man or woman who cannot bear his or her own financial burden before marriage is marrying or being forced to marry for economic reasons.

i ran thru most posts and nobody tried to explain these killings in terms of how money will flow as a result of what is happening.if we cant explain these events from an economic perspective,then we dont know jack!somebody or a clique is playing chess with these killings and the end game is wealth creation.for example if 2m pilgrims visit mecca every year and spend an average of $1000 on upkeep during their stay,then USD2billion is guaranteed every year,if the major suppliers of bottle water make about $200m from this total,will it not be naive to assume that they wont covertly sponsor fanaticism?it is a well known fact that saudi sponsor a lot of "peaceful" islamization programs.dubai needs millions of visitors every year to make their heavy investments in infrastucture worthwhile.when the world needs cheap labor or natural resources they turn to africa,if africans face progrom in europe and n.america,where else would they go?the new arabian cities of course(just theory.the more we ignore the economic angle the more these actions seem like fanaticism

no post from a woman so far?interesting

Dolly-Parton:
dafuq are u saying? Because some bunch of scientist said so, so its right? Go study ur biology.. whatever they came up was based on numbers of women-eating-banana with sons and not an actual observation of the effects of banana on implantation or fertilization... until it become proven that women can produce Y chromosome, this research is baseless and just a mere coincidence.

are u an expert in the field?is high school biology ur only reason for contesting the observation?were u told that humans could be hermaphrodites in high school biology?have u not been told that sperm thrive in certain temperature range?hope u dont think drugs that boost fertility actually contain chromosomes?

dominique: You dey mind the reetard? He actually placed 100% of the blame on the lady. Apparently she should have watched while her husband fornicated and encourage him to use comdoms. Her punishment for confronting her husband is DEATH. I wonder how some psychos find their way to this site. They should be bounded in a straitjacket and locked in a padded room.

did he actually write 100%? imagine this situation:a daring guy jumps on a fleeing dangerous robber who stole and killed a stranger .....will those that love the guy say good job brave guy or will they ask him what he was trying to prove?.....if this woman that got killed had dumped the murdering husband will she be dead today?....@josite was just trying to emphasize self preservation....if the man cannot do without other women...then she should have left....afterall she was the breadwinner...except of course the pple who "know the idea of marriage" dragged her back to the monster.
when man got the epiphany of making other animals and other men in desperate situation to serve them...slavery started...when they realized they could acquire women,impregnate them to produce "workers" to serve them....marriage started.

immortalcrown: Fornication and adultery are the most effective weapon satan uses against humanity. Even the holy bible states it as the worst sin. It ruins life, brighter future, etc. Whoever can avoid both fornication and adultery will live a peaceful long life.

yes,all the pple that were bombed in hiroshima were into adultery and fornication
yes,all the pple BH dey kill were into adultery and fornication
yes,all the unemployed graduates must be into adultery and fornication.

if love peddlers can successfully service their many customers with out burning down their 'office' or committing genocide then whats the problem?.......crazy confused interpretation of marital laws
i hope moderator can create a thread breaking down marital law in Nigeria!
there is clearly some confusion going on,there are still men out there who think they have the legal right to kill or maim their wife and her lover(there are also women who feel they have a legal right to pour boiling water or whatever on their husband's lover)
or think they can beat their own child to death simply because of 'NA ME BORN AM,NA ME GET AM' fallacy.
Like the lynching of the 4 uniport students,the villagers believed they had the right to dish out jungle justice.

this is also the reason why some families refuse to collect bride prize,whereas some greedy families encourage the idea that he 'OWNS' the woman just because of the goodies they want to get from bridegroom.

sorry to distract y'all....... is it MOTHER's day or WOMEN's day?

the only way this can be peacefully resolved is resource control.would any sane person give up hundreds of millions of dollars from an OML even if it does not seem fair to the true indigenes of the area?nigeria has been moulded and contorted out of shape by NN dominated military,any other region apart from SS will(should)not complain about resources,because they are the parasites in this setting.thinking about the money going to senators and reps,monthly allocations to states,oil subsidy payments etc only violent liberation will change things.i just dont see how nigerians will agree to do what is fair.historical records show that the nigerian coast line supplied the largest amount of slaves,here is the kicker,nigerians did not stop supplying slaves rather the white man stopped buying.........we simply lacked the moral will to stop brotherly treachery.slave trade was not just about throwing people catching people and throwing into ships.....think of the allied services...commission to obas,food,chains,ropes,washing of slaves to make them look healthy to attract better price....we just couldnt stop....only war can end this....too bad

i agree with op that the present qualifying format may produce weak ambassadors but what he is suggesting will still produce the same result.a tough qualifying format should at least toughen up our reps.all the south american qualifiers made it to the second round in south africa why?because they have a 10 team league style qualifying format.imagine if africa adopts a 10 or 12 team league style qualifying format.imagine nigeria playing ghana,cote d'ivoire,zambia,mali,egypt,algeria,morocco,b faso,tunisia,bafana,cameroon just to qualify for a world cup,by the time super eagles get to the world cup,their concentration,quality of bench,quality of coaching crew,patrotism and unity of team would have passed thru fire and ready to spank teams like greece and north korea even with 9 men.africa seems to have reached the glass ceiling in the world cup because the mental toughness a tough qualifying process will give them is just not there,gyan could not tuck in a penalty,senegal just could not believe they should beat turkey,nigeria lost to 10-man italy even when we were one goal up.iron sharpeneth iron.the teams that participate in this league style format will make more money because every match is a sell out,then with 5 spots up for grabs every match will be important till the very last second of the last match.we all know that getting africans to do what is good for africa has never been easy

diggler: Pistorius should be tried and if found guilty, the full wrath of SA Law visited upon him.


Now my take:

that dude is as guilty as bleep.

Do you guys remember his antics at the last paralympics? I've also watch a couple of his interviews on youtube and with benefit of hindsight I can say he has anger management issues.

What I think happened:

He has a fight with the girl friend. it gets nasty, she goes into the bathroom to cool off or hid from him, he picks his glock in a fit of rage and basts her to the afterlife.

Pistorius should HANG! I know a lot of wonderful disabled people so, someone else will take his place as beacon of whatever.

thats why we should always pray,oscar's behaviour when the results did not go his way barely 6 months ago has come back to bite his backside,it can be argued that his GF was ready to move on after using his fame to improve her viewer ratings but oscar flipped.
a burglar should get a warning shot into air for starters not 3 shots to the head.

Aggrippa: guy because nairaland has 1 million membs does not mean they are less, mind you naija is still a very primitive illiterate kon3. to be honest most still dont know what internet is. naija is more than 200 million!!!!

some of us contest this claim that nigeria is 170m.naija is very primitive you say but how many pple within your circle dont have a gsm line?many may be poor and iliterate but they must eat and move around,getting info from pple in certain will expose the truth.data from bus parks,the number of pry school leaving certificate exam candidates for the past 20years will reveal a lot.we cant just look at the number of pple at the holy ghost service or the ODM anointing service at TBS and conclude that we are 200m. during babangida's regime the censor figures claimed that men were slightly more than women,but pple who work in maternity clinics disagree.

hi moderator can you spice this topic up with data like number of registered phone sims,number of candidates for school leaving exams(pry school);number of ssce candidates;i know JAMB for last year was 1.3m;number of star times boxes,gotv boxes sold,daily average of BRT tickets sold,daily average of buses leaving ojota out of lagos etc,then we'll know if we really are 170million.i maintain that once states start remitting funds to the centre,nigeria's 'population' will shrink.people doing business are complaining everyday,many branches of banks outside lagos cannot boast of 2000 active accounts,yet we are approaching 170m.nairaland just hit 1m members after more than 5years[by the time we make allowance for pple with multiple profiles and non-nigerians,how many go remain?

stpat1 i think you should start a new thread,like a diary,this thread has already being polluted by pple who cant see changes all around them.why cant u adopt?because u want your own children with ur own dna and there is nothing wrong with ur sperm count.what will you tell their mother?what is there to tell,she'll is free to visit and the kids are free to visit their mum!do u want them for ritual?a man with such a plan will steal a baby and not involve third parties.infact taking a second look at ur offer i think it might be too good,there are many women with figure head husbands who after doing a cummulative addition of the gifts he has given his wife since the time of courtship is yet to hit 200k not to talk of paying them to have babies.they cant get it that u ar not buying the babies but paying their mum for the inconvinience.when a man gets to certain age and is still saying he his looking for d right woman,then something is wrong southsouth,at certain age being a single mother or single father beats being a bachelor or spinster.we shouldnt even bother wasting time talking about couples dying inside but putting up a show of affection on the outside.another issue of insurance against death to either party was raised,i think its a valid observation.

very bold OP,men and women have towed this path in the past but they do it discretely,havent u heard stories of men/women that just walk out of their 'marriage'?having kids takes the sting out of the criticism of the marriage police[those pple who make it a point of duty to embarass,tease anybody who isnt married].anyway a REAL graduate LESS THAN 30 will be hard to get on a package like this[unless u want graduate wey no fit pass common entrance].u could save cost if u would find a girl,just do some kind of introduction,pretend to for 3yrs and tell her u dont want her after ur second child starts walking[this is what many of d pretenders and moralist wants u to do].if u really want a graduate on this paid baby mama program,then fine tune the offer to paying for her masters abroad,that is,she comes to 9ja for fertilization,takes d preg abroad,have the baby,com back again for 2nd shot,many REAL graduates will take this becos they'll be killing 3 birds with one stone[motherhood,quality advance degree,mother of citizens],ur current cash based scheme will work extremely well for low income earners with only secondary school or diploma,i refuse to believe that u'll get REAL graduate ladies,money u offered is reasonable but it wont surmount the cultural,hypocritical and moral hill nigerian will put before it.
like a guy that did a diary on poultry biz on nairaland,i hope u will give us a report on ur experience,a LOT of guys are interested,i'm sure it will help a lot 29-33yr old women to act fast as per motherhood instead of still waiting for the God fearing,sweet,generous,financially ok,tall,handsome man.some pple just cant see that the world is changing fast,obama was already born when martin luther king was assassinated for civil rights,do u remember black and white tv?air travel is less than 150yrs!many of the women using babies as their objects of pity to beg for money on our pedestrian bridges will thank their stars if d men that got them pregnant gave a fraction of what the OP is offering.cain and abel,esau and jacob were the products of what was supposed to be perfect marriages by any standard,OP finding a perfect wife is no guaranty that ur kids will turn out ok,so dont let anybody stop,also pay attention to all the legal issues serious thinkers have raised.

initiator: The predominant attitude to infertility in Nigeria is one of shame and helplessness within the background of a culture that places a high premium on childbearing.

Let us be straight about what infertility is: The inability of a couple to conceive despite one year of regular unprotected intercourse in women under the age of 35, and six months in women older than 35.

With our population in excess of 150 million people the rates of primary (when a couple has never achieved pregnancy) and secondary (a couple who have been pregnant previously but are no longer able to conceive) infertility estimated together affect about 30 percent of our married couples. 1 in 4 couples need assisted reproduction.

Such couples can explore IVF treatment which in simple terms is, the fusion of the egg from the woman with the sperm from the man outside the body which should then result in the formation of an embryo (the developmental stages of a baby) following fertilisation. The embryo is subsequently transferred into the uterus of the woman, where under the right conditions; it should implant and develop into a healthy pregnancy.

You can check up more on www.thebridgeclinic.com They were the first in Nigeria and do it so damn well.

Regards

this treatment is over a million naira o,see why a lot of pple will rather look for 'other' solutions[truth be said,a million naira is less than us$7000,i watched a documentary where an american couple paid an indian lady and the clinic that brokered the deal about us$25k,this was good price because some couples will pay as much us$50k for same service,according to the narrator]

yeah right!somebody's testing his/her 3D art skills on us,na 3Ds max you use?nice rendering

this question is for pple who want children in their marriage!if you no want pikin,skip,who wan kno wether na for phucking alone u marry ya wife.we expect to see simple answers like,1yr,2yrs etc,then OP can say with some authority that childless couples in nigeria tend to get frustrated after waiting for xyrs

autotrader,i hope u know how the message of christ was spread around the world?pple were burnt,beheaded,fed to lions,as a catholic priest or nun,sex and children were out of it,can we even begin to count those missionaries that would have died of malaria before cure was found!christian leaders that sit on fence are not what this country needs right now,they say they dont want to incite violence as if they will be the first to do peaceful march,but they can go to yankee for convention after rev MLK died for civil rights,infact our pastors(esp pentecostal pastors)spike the desperation to be rich at all cost with their teachings as they have linked financial excess with holiness or favorable disposition of God towards the believer,missionaries built schools all over nigeria to help free the mind of newer generations of africans,thats why schooling was not associated with the wealthy in the olden days.giving is good but the giving any pastor talks about is not to give pple on the street and come to church empty handed.i agree there is a direct connection between giving and getting but i also wont stop a person from complaining if he noticed a pastor wearing a suit that will cost thousands of dollars(adeboye has maintained an appearance that at least proves he his not vain),we need men of God that can speak the truth to kings as easily as they encourage the collection of tithe,offerings and seeds

it could have been worse for both criminal and victims imagine if he had added drugging,raping and killing the women just to hide his tracks or whatever cynthia's maniacs were trying to achieve.6 and half in jail is like 3 years in normal count,this guy will be out before his 35th birthday,still has his whole life ahead of him

nice tips,what if an ugly dude wants a pretty lady or OND holder dude wants an MBA holder babe or ajegunle/ijora guy wants ikoyi/lekki babe or....u catch my drift?dbanj.mikel obi,victor moses,dangote's nephew,deziani's sons(you kno dem)will flout your advice over and over and the babes will come over and over.

we all kno these tips/rules are like job interview tips...succour for desperate jobless pple or in this case gold digging-man or woman trying to use the option of marriage or some sort of relationship to climb up and stay up.
ajegunle guy does not need tips to get ajegunle babe or vice versa,stress arises when one of them wants to move up.
numerous experiments have been performed on these kinds of issues and it was found that male and females of the same physical,mental,environmental attributes chose each other as most attractive.
so good luck to you if you be oshiomole(without his coins and power) and you want a genevive or omotola(at their prime 10years ago with the money and recognition they have today).
if you like make u print out the advice,chew am,swallow am.
moderators should edit these posts,unless of course you expect pple of certain age and experience to skip them.....nairaland needs to restructure posts...maybe u could rate them....like PG,16,R18 or pry sch,sec sch,msc and above.....this will definetly help

the issue of the way a mermaid should look was theoretically treated and it wasnt pretty at all,if u want to take a cue from dolphins,sharks,seals etc...then a long blond/black silky shoulder length hair is unlikely,afro hair nko?forget it.she'll need plenty body fat to cope with ocean temp,her diet will be what?if it is fish she'll definitely need fangs or serated saw like dentition,her arms will be more like flippers,her eyes will be more like a dolphin's or a seal's.she wont be anything like the hollywood image we know,just as hollywood projected chimps as cute rascally human like pet that loves banana,milk and other oyinbo ije ku je(they fooled michael jackson to get one) only for recent studies to reveal their ruthless carnivorous tendencies.
who is to say if the pple claiming that they saw a mermaid did not see a seal basking on the shore on a half moon lite night only to roll into the water on being startled.
be that as it may,this planet has more areas covered by sea than land,considering the vastness,it is possible that another evolutionary path may have yielded an aquatic humanoid form,some form of advanced dolphin just like us being an advanced ape

clever topic..hits aplenty on the website.
a scientific brain will ask questions like 'if the head in the calabash should act like a printer,then what supplies the paper,toner,embossing effect?or is some inexplicable loss of money happening to other pple only to appear in the mouth of the head in the calabash?
a non scientific brain will remember old stories from illiterate uncles and start saying things about mysteries of this world,meanwhile he is enjoying internet and typing his response staring at an LCD screen,texting on his BB,preparing for an interview at a visa office instead of using charms to vanish and appear in the country of choice.
the religious mind will quickly support the non-scientific mind because if the devil is irrelevant then what happens to the armageddon?
the fundamental difference between science and non scientific reasoning is that science is ready to adjust to new evidence while religious reasoning isnt.
the human ear cannot pick all frequencies does that mean ultrasonic or longwave sound are 'spiritual'?
the human eye can only work well within the visible spectra,infact there are pple who cant see all colors in ROYGBIV.
another problem with pple who cant reason scientifically is they think science ended with integrated science they learnt in jss.
for those saying go to this or that place at night.....we agree that the CRIME motivated by the belief that money can be made using human parts is REAL
a lot of pple dont seem to kno that there are chemicals that have unbelievable effect on the human brain.a lot pple also think that injecting or swallowing is the only way to introduce chemicals into the human body.it is the low level scientific knowledge that make them think they are seeing 'spiritual' phenomenom.
there are poisons that can be sprayed on door knobs that if the target touches the knob within a given time,he'll fall down,foam in the mouth and die.hypnotism is also scientific tool for controlling the human mind,it is not 'spiritual'.
if bank notes can be generated from thin air by evil forces then good forces should be able to do the same,instead of using human head,they should be able to use bible,rosary or koran,i.e put a bible in an empty brief case,chant some psalms and relevant verses,open the brief case the next morning and smile as cash don full brief case,but we all kno that our God will rather bless the labour of your hands,ward off mishap and fraudsters from your biz.
scientist are still discovering new things about the human brain and body but i sincerely doubt that they will ever discover a human head that will laser print cash(counterfeit or not)..abi this pple no kno the process of printing cash sef

nobody raised the possibility of illegal organ transplant biz goin on in our country,think about it,is it rare to see indians renting a whole building where generator runs 24/7 as if it was a mortuary or surgical operation theater(wink)?if kidney transplants is happening there who will kno?a lot of nigerians also go to india for 'treatment'and which organs would match them better than the organs of pple most genetically close.do we have an organs donating scheme in nigeria?organs that can be transplanted, kidneys,liver,heart,not to mention bone marrow,a doctor can give a comprehensive list,now imagine if 0.1% of the worlds population needing some form of transplant(0.1% of 7billion)is 7million,now imagine if 1% of 7m are really really desperate and ready to pay thousands of US dollars for it(pple pay as much as USD50k for surrogate mothers,which is officially allowed in india),now imagine a country of over 100m pple walking around unprotected with organs other pple are ready to pay good money for?think of level of treachery and deceit in our society.go check the records on slave trade and you will agree that it is not beyond the decendants of the slave coast of west africa to prey on one another for material gains.police should try another angle on this ritual murder story.
