Nairaland GeneralOpen Letter To Seun, The Moderators And Admins by martynsnet(op):
Would any of you be kind enough to define the word "defame"? That was the phrase used to justify a ban imposed on another account for calling out Seun on his consistent tongue lash on the Christian God. That ban validates every word about Seun, it is convenient for you to speak up against Christianity but quick to ban and close a thread for standing up for it. Shame on all of you......
RomanceHow Do I Stop Her From Wearing Nose Ring by martynsnet(op): 9:26pm On Sep 10, 2016
I seldom take my issues public, but this is about to tear up my relationship.

I have been dating my GF for over 4yrs now, I used the word GF because she is not wearing my ring, and this is because we don't want a long period of engagement before the wedding proper, else I could very well call her my fiance, as both families are fully aware of us.

My GF has always cherished the idea of wearing a nose ring, but I talked her out of it, plus her family won't approve. She recently graduated and as a "gift" to herself bore her nose. When I saw it, I was furious, I am well travelled and see nothing to it, but we all know the notion of such in Nigeria. We fought and She begged me, saying that she had always pleased other people all her life, that this is one thing she loves and had always admired, and that I should please tolerate it. she's in her early 20's and I just felt with time she will get tired of it.

I recently went to visit one of her family member, who was meeting me for the first time, and the person was not happy about the nose ring, my GF is the darling of the house, and it appeared as though I approved or even encouraged her to wear the nose ring. I don't want to be perceived as a bad influence so I talked to her about it again, and she started crying, throwing tantrums. She said for once in her life, let her please herself, and that she is finding herself.

I love this girl with everything in me, we have come a long way, and I know she loves me beyond I even love her, but we just can't agree on this matter. At a point I even begin to feel why I can't make her do away with the ring as a man, at the same time I feel I am being hard on her.

She removes it whenever she is coming to see my parents. Please am I over reacting? Do other people perceive nose piercing as a sign of someone irresponsible? I Am just lost.....

At age 37 see how much he had achieved? I also noticed younger people were in power and influential positions back then. the then Governor of Rivers State, Chief Spiff was in his 20's, my question now is, what seemed to have pushed up the achievement age.

One seldom see young people doing well, a man in his 20's is likely still in Uni. What is happening my people?

Cant a nigga feel himself? Does my claim affect you in anyway at all?
Besides, u were not the person I was replying to. I was replying musaibrahim1 who asked me to "go out more often". So I replied by saying that I have been to alot of places and have only experienced such in nigeria.

Didnt know travelling out is still such a big deal... even if I am lying (which im not), does it in anyway negatively affect you.??

Besides, I didnt post any picture of any airport. Check the user names and see for yourself.


What are you trying to prove? That im a liar?? Or that you know everywhere in the world?
Or both?

Nawa for people ohhh.

Even if I have lived all my life in ajegunle, cant u just let a nigga shine??

Seriously nawa for people like u.

This is supposed to be educative.
I wouldnt be asking these questions if I knew the answer.... challenging my claim that I have travelled to alot of countries (in reply to musaibrahim1) is not pertinent to tye issue at hand.

@Op, that's same in O'Hare Chicago.I too wonder why you can't take pictures
Actually at baggage claim area they have a notice posted all over the place. TSA agents are red faced about that too but I guess TSA have a better reason of doing what they are doing.
The guy was just going on and on of how he has been to so many airports, with the way he was arguing I began to have doubts if he has ever been out of a Nigerian airport. in some countries it is not restricted to the airports, but certain buildings and monuments as well. Mr Op pls do well to read up brochures of places you are visiting, it will help you. Not coming here to post pics of PE and be screaming "I have been to many airports"

no one has heard of upington looool!... is it a commercial airport?
Like can i book a flight from Nigeria to upington?? of course not!
so, its not pertinent to this discussion cos its in a disparate class of airport.
Say u haven't heard of Upington, and that's because u haven't been to so many airports has you claim. you posted a pics of PE, can you take a flight from Nigeria to PE? as a matter of fact PE is a very porous airport and very open with about 3 flight schools there, my friend trained at Aptrac. again you are missing the point, I am not saying you cant take pics at tarmacs, am saying different airports have their own regulations. you are advised to check up those regulations so you don't get yourself in trouble.

Upington has to be one of all those numerous private air strip in south africa.
Besides, i dont think its a major flight destination cos most flights coming to south ends up in tambo.

You cannot make a comparism to MMA or NAA....
How is Upington a private air strip? Not as big Or Tambo, but a major airport. And am not making reference to any private air strip as they are not open to commercial. even at that, I have landed at a private air strip and taken a pics. We are still waiting for those numerous airports you have been to and taken pics at the TARMAC.

Loool... ive been to alot of countriees bro.... never witneseee this kinda embarrasment and I have personally snapped picshures in som foreign airport tarmac.

I got loads and loads of em.
Different airports have their own regulations, and instead of saying you have been to many airports, mention the names of those many airports you have been to and let us confirm from first hand experience. For example Upington Airport, South Africa doesn't allow pictures at the tarmac, even as a crew.

PoliticsRe: President Jonathan To Buy New Executive Jet by martynsnet: 9:56am On Dec 24, 2014
CFCfan:
The Presidency/FG don't need more than 5 jets. I'd recommend they buy 3 B787 Dreamliners, retain the B737 BJ, and 1 Gulfstream jet. The Dreamliners can fly farther and use less fuel than even the BBJ.
My brother, the average Nigerian cant tell the difference, to them a jet is a jet and don't see the need to have 7 or 5. Most of these jets where purchased by previous heads of state, Mr President has opt to trade-in one of the jets at the cost of $3million- and Nigerians are crying fowl, what do you think will be their reactions if we are to go by your recommendation of buying a brand new 3 B787 Dreamliner?

Mr President is not the one that says "oh let us trade-in one of the jets", that's not how it is done. It is those who are responsible for the maintenance of these jets that in their expertise and knowledge will put forward the proposal and make the president see why it has to be done. however the image being portrayed is that the President just sits in his office and comes up with ideas on how to spend money on frivolities.

I wasn't abusive instead I challenged u to annex ur God given talent which u did after my challenge.
After reading ur response, it's obvious u still see nothing wrong with the trade in despite being in austerity times.
All I can say to u is shame.
My good friend, we are not fighting. we simply have a different opinion to this issue, which I believe is 100% normal. I am only being objective rather than carrying a placard with an inscription "crucify the President".

Use ur brain and read up.
Will the trade in cost the government additional hundreds of millions as deposit to manufacturer?
It's right inside the article.
I did use my brain and read up, being abusive with your words doesn't prove your knowledge. I have replied as to my earlier response, its just above, read it up.

akinsadeez:
But bro, did you read the part where it is stated that the trade in will still involve Nigeria paying 400 million naira as deposit. That is almost half a billion being paid as deposit meaning there will still be further payments ( to an amount we cant determine). What sense does it make to pay that much to upgrade a plane in a presidential fleet that already has eleven planes and is one of the most luxurious in the world.
Thank you so much for the calm way u responded, that was very matured of you. I respect it when people argue reasonably. now if I may contribute from my own understanding. First the Nigerian govt. is not buying a new jet, but trading it in for a new one. bringing it down a bit, if you buy a car from a car company and over time you find the car not to be of the standard you require, you can take it back to them and ask for another type, then pay whatever balance of difference it is with the new one, it is more economical than buying a new car.

Next question is, why would the president want to replace a jet at this critical time of our economy, same reason why you would want to change the car, it could be faulty and considering the cost of maintaining it, its better to trade it in now than wait for an accident or keep incurring maintenance bill.

But is N400 million not too much? That's just a bit short of $3 million, considering one of the least of the presidential jets is a Falcon which cost $50 million, I think it will be cheaper to trade it in than raising another $50 million for a new Falcon.

But we already have about 7 jets? Yes, but they serve different purpose, among the fleet is a Boeing 747 then called Victor 1, don't know if its still in service, but you cant use a Boeing 747 to fly the president and maybe 3 aids from Abuja to Port Harcourt, that will be wastage, so you use a Falcon or something smaller instead. Now when the President lands in Port Harcourt and say he wants to go to Bayelsa, then he uses a chopper. But if he wants to go to say America with a 30 man delegates, then he needs the Boeing 747.

Also these Jets are available to the Vice President and other top officials. Just my humble contribution.
PoliticsRe: President Jonathan To Buy New Executive Jet by martynsnet: 7:35am On Dec 24, 2014
FrankC3:
From this article, despite frantic efforts by SH to sound alarmist, it is still very clear that no new jet is being purchased, rather a trade in is being done for one of the available jets. For those who know, in such procurements, manufacturer trade in could be aimed at achieving sustained warranty support, equipment and spare parts availability and to save money in the long run. It is often more expensive to maintain an older model of a product than to trade it in for a new one with better features. That is part of why firms change even official cars after 3 years most times.

Is the size of the Nigeriam Government large, yes! Is this particular procurement a wastage, we do not have enough information to say yet. During budget defence, the leader of Presidential Airfleet will be on ground to present his reasons and APC NASS members will have their chance to engage in logic and not all this emotional outburst by farmiliar handles on NL.
Finally someone with a thinking cap on, was going to point it out but don't want NL's going bananas on me.
