Come on man, Akpororo, you need to upgrade your wife. Why does she look like a poorly dressed fan beside you. I know the money aint all there yet, but you can still get lovely dresses, jeans, tops and so on for between 5- and 10k and she'd still look like a star. Haba.... upgrade this woman joor. |
Celebrities / Re: OAP Freeze Fires: “Why Is Lekki Gardens MD In Prison & TB Joshua Walking Free? by markpenk: 9:32am On Mar 12, 2016 |
The answer is simple: Plausible deniability for TB Joshua. Officially, the man had little knowledge of real estate. His "fault" was that he hired a contractor. So, technically, he wasn't directly responsible. For Richard, the answers are: 1. When structural flaws were detected in that same unit and they got a cease and desist order, they flouted/ignored it and continued building. 2. As the CEO of a real estate organization, the buck stops with you -you are ultimately responsible for the quality of your buildings. 3. While Richard started out well, the quality of his homes have largely depreciated. You can find a thread about this in the property section: https://www.nairaland.com/862800/lekki-gardens-estate-how-genuine 4. Richard has always been controversial. His actions have been that of someone who thinks he's above the law. 5. The govt needs a scapegoat. As much as Freeze's intentions may have been good, he was asking the wrong questions. Anyways, this country being what it is, I'm pretty certain Nyong will be walking around a free man in a few days with just a slap on the wrist -of course, after money must have changed hands and empty promises of compensation to the families. 3 Likes |

Holly Molly Johnsuprgeon014... turned on my PC this morning. While waiting for it to boot, I decided to flip through NL. Stumbled on your story and by God, have been reading feverishly. May I say that, you sir, are a freaking storyteller. I have not read a prose so good and with such eagerness and excitement recently. I see in you, the makings of a world class novelist -Watch Out Chimamanda. Bravo Sir, Bravo. I am subbing to this thread immediately and cannot wait to see how the tragic?* story of Banks and Lade ends. 4 Likes |
Travel / Re: 7 Most Dangerous Roads To Travel In Nigeria( SEE PHOTOS) by markpenk: 9:00pm On Mar 05, 2016 |
OP, stop copying and pasting outdated articles. I'm sure you haven't traveled the lagos-Ibadan road. That expressway is in far better condition. In fact, short of a couple of bad stretches which typically take no more than 5-10 minutes drive, the road is in amazing shape. Those new stretches are so smooth that you'd be tempted to do 200km/hr . Abeg no do am o. |

Travel / Re: Nigerian Man Removed From UK Flight Over 'prayer' Message On His Phone by markpenk: 10:58am On Mar 04, 2016 |
True that! The interesting thing is that the individuals with such extremist views and leanings are actually very few. Unfortunately, all it took for this to gain national and international coverage is just a few of those individuals. I reckon also, that it only takes a few radicals to do significant harm and injury. Thankfully, there are many more good and law abiding moslems who are some of the best people you would ever meet. These people are kind, large hearted, hospitable, respectful of your opinions/religion and will never try to lord anything over you. If only these folks were also a lot more aggressive with their qualities, who knows, they just might drown out the troublemakers. ashkenking: |
Travel / Re: Nigerian Man Removed From UK Flight Over 'prayer' Message On His Phone by markpenk: 9:29am On Mar 04, 2016 |
The reality is that the fellow passenger's concerns were legitimate: 1. Moslems in Luton are known for their extremism and intolerance. In fact, someone went as far as saying it's the "headquarters" for islamic extremism in the UK. Many of those resident in Luton are immigrants from arab countries. In fact, it isnt unusual to hear some moslems there saying they have no regard for the law of the land; just those of the Quran. Here's a couple of videos to back this up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8WVkbXOHfM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgKMI1wV0ps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2nlIfn8tNA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RhNoIhEEs8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3tg74jxOy4 2. In this day and age, even any god fearing moslem will challenge anyone who belongs to any group called the ISI-men. After all, it might actually be an online group for ISIS recruits. There are a thousand and one other acronyms to use. Why use something similar to ISIS. 3. The call for prayer. As far as the passenger and the flight crew were concerned, he may have as well be asking for prayer so he can have the strength to carry out a deadly assignment. Anyone who is smart nowadays, should avoid anything that draws unnecessary suspicion. 1 Like |

There's no need for 10 whole tips. And ranking on Alexa is completely irrelevant. It's just a traffic measuring/website popularity tool. Nothing more. It does absolutely nothing for your search rankings. Just drive a flood of targeted and high quality traffic to your website and that will take care of itself Mediapace: |

Family / Re: My Husband Caught Me Masturbating, What Do I Do? by markpenk: 8:46am On Dec 14, 2015 |
Honestly, your husband should be grateful. I don't see what all the fuss is about. Gimme a wife who pleasures herself instead of cheating on her man. In fact, if I were your husband, I'll just stop you right there, take your hand, call someone to come take care of the kids, take you to a hotel for a day and have mad fun with you. In fact, I would ask you to do the same in front of me while I watch -I swear we'd have the best session ever. Talk to him and apologize, chances are he's pissed because even he does it -most dudes do- and he's just mad that he aint enough for you. Most guys don't understand that pleasure for women is an entirely different ballgame. It's not about the "poking", as much as it is about the various ways they can be pleasured.

This is a very valuable and sensible post. All job seekers should read this over and over until it sinks in. Also, while you're waiting to be employed, writing tests and attending interviews, make sure to get more experience and certifications. If you don't have the money to get the necessary certifications -been there- learn some new skills over the next 3 months, and use that to generate some funds for yourself. Whatever you do, don't fold your hands and so nothing. Acquire a relevant skill. Study like mad. Learn new things. Remember, job seeking is a full time job in itself. You might as well prepare well and hard. All these will help further your cause and increase your prospects. Good luck in your job search. Ephemmm: |
Business / Re: How Foreign Bankers Lure Nigerian Elite To Early Graves by markpenk: 2:50pm On Dec 01, 2015 |
Lol... too many conspiracy theorists nowadays. Do you realize the irony in your use of the word "Think"? Truth is not usually stranger than fiction. It's usually simply because people refuse to see it as what it is. And this mate, aint no truth. It's just some gibberish concocted to fool lesser minded folks. You still haven't answered any of my questions by the way. And your points are so far off they are laughable. What do my questions have to do with the loots of dictators, the "mysterious" -to use your words- deaths of a few and "living in a white mans world"? Can we stay on point please? themanderon: |

Mere speculations... and an uneducated one at that. So, doctors who are sworn to keep and preserve life are now in cahoots with bankers to "kill" and maim people, eh? So, they are willing to risk losing their license and practice these heinous acts when there are strict regulatory bodies in place? And no law enforcement organization with their state of the art technology and investigative prowess has been able to detect the scheme? This piece must have been written and approved by dimwitted individuals. Anyone who believes this piece really needs a lesson in logic and common sense. No offense |

Celebrities / Re: Photos Of Linda Ikeji's Mansion In Banana Island by markpenk: 5:42pm On Oct 16, 2015 |
Guys... why are we taking Tylenol for someone else's headaches? The reality is that Linda could actually afford that building. What you guys need to understand is that there are different payment schemes: 1. She might be paying a mortgage for the property -all you need is usually 10-20 percent down payment- with the rest to be paid in installments on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Linda is a smart woman and I'm assuming she would have opted for this. 2. She bought the house outright. I was speaking to someone who works with one of the major MNCs in VGC a while ago and our conversation got to digital media buys in naija. Dude told me his company was paying Linda #5 million a month, that the chick was making a killing big time. Now guys, remember this is just one firm. Linda has quite a few big firms -we're talking at least 5-7 at every point in time- advertising on her blog. Now, let's do the calculations. 5million* an average of 5 firms monthly = #25 million. #25 million * 12 = #300 million a year. Remember the business has little or no overhead costs. She basically has maybe a few employees who curate the content for her or she does it all herself -the latter isn't very likely. Even if she pays the stipulated 30 percent corporate tax, it still comes down to a tidy #210 million in revenue after tax. Now, multiply that by the last 2 years alone (remember she's been doing this for almost 10 years) and you'll see why the mortgage option is very possible. Also, we don't know what other brand endorsements or deals she has. My point is this: everyone stop worrying about what she does and just go hustle for yourself. There's a new generation of multimillionaires and multibillionaires in this country, many of whom are younger than 45 and are doing legit businesses. You can join the league if you work your ass off, change your life, acquire a ton of relevant information and believe that there's abundance. The Nigerian economy is so fertile that any imported ideas and technologies, properly adapted to our society will make its progenitor very rich. Cases in point: Iroking -Naija's own Netflix, Jumia and konga -naija's Amazon, Main One Cable and Swift -naija's Comcast and Sky. 8 Likes 1 Share |
