It's true o. Bought one for the same price at Wuse few minutes ago. I felt like slapping the hawker, but my thirst made me unwilling and powerless though. Nigeria we hail thee!

...How could people smoke cigarettes too and appear to be enjoying it? One man's meat is another's poision has been an ancient English proverb.

We're clearly clueless in this country pertaining which directions to take towards the future. The President's advisers should know that just because we can doesn't obviously mean we must. Nuclear power in both its peaceful and otherwise states have been very volatile around the world, why do we now think we are going to tame/master it differently? Especially in a country such as ours, as people have rightly pointed out- with poor maintainance culture. When the chips are down and the pomp and pagentry associated with it by the media have all died down, what stops some technicians going the way of DANA behind closed doors? Inasmuch as I support African countries getting futuristic, I'm not with Nigeria on this issue. We may try more viable sources like our coastlines, wind and solar power development.

I'm so shocked and skeptical of these under-20 first class products in large numbers from CU. We're not talking of David and Goliath here, rather intellectual competence, based on a lot of factors, who actually came into the system with less than 200 marks in JAMB. I attend a Federal University of Technology here in Nigeria, so I don't think I'm offering arm-chair opinion. Is this what we really need in the present-day Nigeria with her multiplicity of interests?

According to Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1979, "Islam is politics". (TIME mag. Sep. 20, 2004). What Mr Ningi should know is that he, along with the Boko Haram members are just playing out sub-consciously, a preconcieved plot. Probably every other persons involved are just silent observers of an age-old religion.

Now that's the problem with people. They always seem they can do it better. This is the 'most foolish' intellectual I've ever heard of. Just thinks he can open his wide unbrushed mouth and spew out errant rubbish. What does he know about the terrain of Nigerian politics that he thinks he can sit at his critic's chair and judge from his jumbled up intellectual point of view? Even if he may sound convincing enough, he should have made his 'suppossed judgement' in the privacy of his pathethic palour, not on the internet. I don't blame him anyway. He's obviously redundant and washed up of his intellectual capacity.

"You can't rush art!" - Toy Story 1.
"Guns in Church. The abomination that causes desolation" - Fighting temptation. "That a'int right!" - I've forgotten the title of that film about the black guy who became the U.S President.

It's like we're taking this issue of "WASHING PLATES" to be a normal phrase like "eating breakfast". I'm not a diasporan, a proud Nigerian; but I'm finding it a very hard nut to crack, imagining degree holders as "professional plate washers". What an abuse of humanity! I'd rather be a menial worker with Julius Berger here than embracing such a disgusting career. I mean why don't their fellow countrymen (with better jobs!) lovingly advise them over there that things have not actually gone so bad to that extent back home? Please for the love of Christ!

The gentleman shouldn't have gotten reactionary over a little misunderstanding. No one requests for a bottle of coke when his house is on fire. Typical of most Africans, we drink coke whenever a happy occasion calls. ''DO AFRICANS THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE?'' is the title of a yet-to-be published blog post from my blog. You may want to google it sometime, and navigate to my futuristic thoughts about Africa while you wait. :-)

These are though issues! While a country save the trees and terminate children's lives through abortion, the other deals with wether or not the leader is corrupt. It encompasses alot when you argue along this line. Just like saying homophobes, racists, terrorists and sexists are all the same. Morality is truely subjective.

Sorry, 222 was my score to be precise.

. . .a sad reminder that the present day students are not reading again. They'll rather mortgage their productive times for 2go, BB Ping, Facebook, seasonal movies, soap operas and cable channels being enhanced by an improving power supply. We're almost doomed in this country. Civilization is intoxicating us. I entered with 200 points anyway, and there were lesser distractions during my time (about 6yrs back); so I won't even advise my enemy's child to be happy with 180 out of 400 marks. Truth is always bitter when said like this!

As long as we're registered users on internet forums, great men will continually make faulty statements as comments to posts. They won't believe the government, few pentecostal pastors that are playing their part, the armed forces who are working hard in different capacities to crush evil actions. Probably as long as the present-day Africa exists, great men will still keep making faulty assumptions (or should I rather say faulty judgement). This will go on and on till the beautiful attitudes emerge (with or sadly without them). As an example to this, critically observe the trend of reactions to the next Nairaland forum topic that announces a major positive discovery, particularly about the Nigerian state.

It's not only 'eku Ijoko' that does not have a literal English translation. How about technology words like: 'Internet' 'download' 'virus', 'anti-virus' 'radiation'? I thought the computer was known as 'ero ayarabiasa' until the internet came. . . If we don't want our mothertongue to end up like Latin, we have to get serious about creating new words to match up with the future.

I keep aquarium barb fishes and I've lost a couple of them in large numbers. Once when the aquarium was broken by my little niece, and the other occassion occurred in my absence, so I couldn't figure out why. It's so sad loosing pet fishes, especially when you've watch them swim and play freely on many occasion. I still keep them anyway, dear, innocent looking things, admirable by everybody.

grafikii: Nigerians have lost all sense of objectivity, did the US not predict and end for Nigeria in 2015, what is the difference with what buhari said. Can you honestly say that Nigeria is heading in the righ path. Keep playing games with your children's future.

The U.S.A is not a prophet that can say things and it will come to pass, neither is the dog and Baboonist. Nigeria has been united long before he was born, so he is not going to use his intolerant bitterness to tear the country apart. I personally believed he woke up on the wrong side of the bed that fateful morning.

And if you really want to learn, the gospel should appeal to people by different means. If I were a poor man, I won't like a gospel like carrot dangling from heaven, rather, bread for today's sustainance. In a poverty-striken country, if we can't learn prosperity from the Church, then where else? In the process of searching for financial answers, God will appear to us with Salvation, just like that Samaritan woman. If you really are a sound christian, then you don't have to play religious hypocrisy.

This is so pathethic, legalistic and shallow. In my own opinion, you're not any better than the Boko haram terrorist group who are trying very hard to enforce their religion ehn, mister righteousness, holiness and church analyst. I wish you wouldn't have played God just now. I really believe penticostialism is the future of christianity, irrespective of the opinions and conclusions of people like yours. Thank you!

We've really got our eyes on this story anyway. The moment spiritual people forget their humanity, and the fallen condition of our world, then problem begins to happen. Even Jesus Christ, I believe, the perfect model of all had to listen to the plea of evil spirits during His time on earth. Bishop Oyedepo could have acted more humanly in my own opinion.

Why should there be so many hidden posts on this topic? I guess we're starting to become politically correct as a result of the fear of boko haram. I think people should be allowed to say the truth, even if their voices shake! That's just what fairness means!

This holy war really sucks!

onye ego: God gave mankind d freedom of choice.
You can choose to belive dat God exists, u can choose nt to believe; its ur choice n God respects it.
But their is more to life than life n death.


This world is d world of unbelievers,
Satan is in charge of dis world, lucifer is d lord of dis world and his apostles d unbelievers are suppose to be heads of various departmnts of d devils empire.

Christianity can not solve any of d worlds problems.

Its of no use for a believer to fight an unbeliever over d glory of dis world cos d money,power,gold,crude oil,wealth of dis world belongs to d unbeliever cos it all belongs to his father d lucifer.

This comment makes me want to puke. Gentleman, if you're a Christian, I'm respectfully saying you are so myopic and have a bad world view which you must as a matter of urgency, take proactive steps on. Should all christians then go and live in a cave and become hermits just because they want to escape your 'lucifer's' influx? See, God is the uncreated creator, and the devil is unable to create. God created man and imbued him with a piece of Himself; so, only God and man can create. Count the devil out. I recently learnt from a movie that we won't make a great deal of bargain or should I say a great buy if we are not shopping within the enemy's territory. If you regularly sing the Halleluyah chorus, you would understand that the Kingdom of this world are soon becoming the kingdom of God and His Christ. The end of the world is just a tip of an iceberg, but before it happens, God is busy moving stuffs into His Kingdom.

Quite a topic you've got here. It shows that Nigerians are now involving more in critical thinking. Well, I really think the doctrine of common grace suggests that good and beneficial products can come from not necessarily religious people. We must know that God's principal request from us is our soul. But if we choose to resist, He respects our choice but does not withdraw his giftings from us. The Christian ideal promotes purpose for every single humanity, so it could mean that Bill gates, Steve Jobs, Zucherberg and the likes were destined for their invention - God or no God. About the fact that religion induces violence and all sorts of vices suggests that the true religion is hard to come by. There are many variations and apparitions.. A simple explanation is that there can't be a fake 2000 Naira note because there has been no original.

e-herbal:
eeeeeeediooooot! ! !just look @ yourself go.if I can infer from ur stupid deductions,the reason 'you people' are shaggging yourselfs is because you're controlling world population or there are shortage of the opposite sex.Now let me tell you, you pusssy sanitary pad,your Armageddon theory holds no water.the world population has always been controlled by one event or the other.We've had thousands of wars,pestilence,and diseases,which had kept our population in check if not near annihilation,so therefore,your argument is not valid.It's inconsistent,and only a seme.n arsed leaking Igor like you can conjure up such creche hallucinatory projection.thank you

@poster, you're such a monster. So it infers that you would rather have people die enmasse by war rather than proliferate their gayness, that's so much for satisfying your hatred against gay people! See, let me tell you plainly, gay is the human reality, and itexists among people irrespectivd of faith, geography, civilization and colour. You'd better be realistic as to how to lovingly explain your bias towards it!

Businesstools: Some people can't just see beyond their nose.

I quite agree with that, but in the oppposite sense. Let us ask these questions, what if it were God that actually instructed him to open the airline, would he disobey who he's accountable to? When should Christianity not enter into business enterprise, fashion and indeed an entire way of life if it were really genuine? When Nigerian airways, the nation's official airline folded up, who was pained? Now why should anyone be when a church owned line opens up? Since it was not your personal money thrown inside the offering basket (and the people concerned don't feel quite obliged). It might be quite difficult for any reader to agree that I am on a neutral ground, but since when has the man been indicted for church funds mismanagement? I think rage is being played out here unnecessarily by cynical people!

We've got our eyes on this tech product, mister. Just let us know how much one costs... And candid advise, Nigerian's won't queue for one, 'cos we're such self-styled. We would rather have it delivered to us in the convenience of our homes/offices, or a casual saturday shopping. B-)
