Yea kudos..... Buh dis guy nid orientation why did he remove d whole brt fashola brought nd still destroying the bus-stops..... D moni e is usin tu bring new bus can b used for other things
.

My friend, analysis issues properly.The BRT bus-stops erected by Fashola were mostly waste of resources.
How do you build bus-stops that do not have any space(or platform) that at least a few people e.g. pregnant women, old people, small kids can sit while waiting for the next bus?
How could a govt you build bus- stops that cannot act as temporary shelter to shield/cover people from rain and heat of the sun?
The bus-stops built by Fashola were total rubbish!

The useless Fashola govt also erected walls in the middle of Ikorodu road, all in the name of demarcating the road for BRT buses, and this has destroyed the structural integrity of the road.

RobinHez:
this is face-palm worthy!


so? we should start crying now?


we thank God sha...


stop making it look like its a crime to receive money from one's parents...seeing it is their responsibility to cater for their offsprings. and u can't tell anyone how to spend their allowance because you only know your own needs....

The OP who originated the post has already responded to my comments. He responded in a mature and respectful manner because he is sensible enough to know the thrust of my comments. Good advice is only appreciated by the wise, even though the advice may be unsolicited!

AK6464:
Other Pastors should learn from this man

This pastor himself is learning from TB Joshua. TB Joshua (through the mighty grace and vision of God in him, started and showed the way. Now other pastors are following TB Joshua's example.

What I don't understand is his fixation and obsession with the so called ''Nollywood'' actors.
There are hundreds of genuinely poor and less privileged people, but this pastor is more interested in Nollywood people.

But it is still better than those who are competing among themselves with private jets.

Frankicent:
Sorry *crying* how I believe you making it big time God will help us sha

Thank you my brother!
With God's grace and help, I am okay. I am grateful I can say that I am not living in poverty.
Even today that I am earning a decent pay, the discipline I inculcated from my experience in those days, has made me to be grateful and careful not to misuse whatever comes my way (although every body wants to do some crazy enjoyment stuff, which can be allowed occasionally).

This Year is so damn hard for students.

I remember back in my 100Level food stuff was so damn cheap especially if you school in the West.. How see my new budget below increase to #10,00o+... Who should I blame? for this...


1: Red oil And Vegetable Oil = #1,200
2:Maggi know 1 pack= #500
3: Rice 1 Congo is #600×3=1800
4: Garri 1 Congo is #300×4=#1200
5:Beans 1 Congo is #400×3= #1200
6: Tomatoes Paste 1 row I.e 6pieces =#500
7: Kerosene= #500
8: Monthly Data= #1500
New Modem = #2000

I just pray they shouldn't be an increase in price.

Total is #10,400 E no easy oo

Shuttle fee + hand out not Included.. That's not a problem cash for this one will come
Few students share how you survive in school.

You are living a life of ''luxury'' in school compared to what others experienced.
You can even afford to spend as much as N3,500 buying monthly data and modem! Wow!

I used to live on 1 congo of beans, 1 congo of garri, 1 bottle of palm oil and 2-3 wraps of ground pepper, 1 wrap of salt.......for 1 week! No tomato, no rice, no vegetable oil.
Each congo of beans and garri contains the equivalent of 7 small plastic cups which would be equally apportioned to last for the 7 days of the week.
No variance or deviation from the planned measurement was allowed. Otherwise, man would suffer!
I thank God for the lessons and experience. There were days I would go a whole day without anything to eat, but I knew it would not be forever.
With nor father or mother to help, I struggled to graduate from Ife and now I look back and give thanks to God for His mercies and faithfulness.
Those of you who have parents and guardians giving you money monthly should be thankful and disciplined with what they give. A time may come when you would be on your own with no one to assist. The discipline that you inculcate is what would help you when tough times come!

EazyMoh:
There should be a clear consequence for the marketers to renegade on the agreed terms. The government shall be ready to deal with anybody that is trying to cause another scarcity. After giving what seems to be the final solution Nigerians are not ready for any other story.

Which consequence? Why cant your govt. import all the fuel the country needs? The country cannot do without the importers because it lacks the capacity to import and the importers know this.

Nigerians like to tell lies and deceive themselves into believing what is not!
There is no state in Nigeria that has Gold in commercial quantity! None.
All the talk about gold in Osun, Kaduna etc are pure lies.
Gold is not mineral resource that can lie fallow, idle or be hidden. If you have it, investors will rush down automatically.
We know the countries that have gold in real commercial quantities...Ghana, South Africa etc

DeleSuper1:
Pastor Iginla HBD to you sir,
Anywhere Jesus went he was doing good, helping the poor and providing for the needy.
You have really shown a typical example of a good leadership.

It doesn't matter what people said, what matters most is what God said about you.
Ride On Pastor, God bless you, God bless your home, God bless Nigeria.

Let all your enemies "GERARAHERE" because they are all "BUNDESLIGA"

It looks good on the outside.
But sometimes, I wonder why this pastor is misplacing priorities when it comes to charity. Giving cars to Nollywood actors? To prove what?
there are hundreds of genuine needy people that can be helped. But it seems he wants to be popular with Nollywood actors.
He also seems to be desperately imitating TB Joshua.

whiteeyes:
Exactly. That is why I'm uncomfortable with some MOG like T. B, Chris O. et al. Even from Biblical viewpoint, we see the obvious example of Elijah and Elisha. A spiritual Father mist be there to guide in spiritual matters.

You want the Bible to read what you and your Pharisees want to hear, right?
God does not have to use a godfather to anoint His prophet!
There are many prophets of God that were not anointed by any spiritual father. God is above the tradition that you set for yourselves.
Prophets like Moses, Jeremiah, Elijah, John The Baptist etc did not have a spiritual father, yet they were anointed and used mightily by God!
Who says Adeboye or any other pastor must approve or lay hands on someone else before God can anoint or use the person for His own glory?

In any case, the anointing on TB Joshua is much higher than what any human being can lay his hands on him for. His anointing is Heaven ordained....that is reason behind the mighty and unprecedented miracles, signs and wonders that have become the envy of your godfathers

pija:
Today's at Canaan land

Pharisees! All Pharisees!
By their fruits you shall know them!
These are the people that lied and misled millions of people to condemn Prophet TB Joshua, just like the Pharisees did against Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, because they did not believe that someone below their class and who did not belong to their PFN(Pharisees Fellowship of Nigeria)'group could be anointed and used mightily by God Almighty!
Some of them even attacked lied against Pastor Chris Oyakhilome just because he acknowledged TB Joshua as being a genuine man of God.
Shame on them all!

Team16:
Please oga se.un help me push to the front thread cos I need to reply this mail today.

I have a B.Sc Industrial Chemistry ( 4.01/5), Pgd Chemical Engineering ( Distinction ).

I applied for a Canadian admission for MSc.E Chemical Engineering. Normally for your admission to be successful you need to secure a supervisor whose research interest is similar to yours. I have done that and he encouraged me to apply. I submitted my application and after going through my application with other supporting documents like letter of motivation and others, he sent me a mail this afternoon that they want to consider me PhD instead of MSc I applied for. I'm very confused right now if to accept it or not considering high standard of education abroad as I use to hear, I haven't experienced foreign education before, this is my first. Please note my ultimate goal is to obtain a PhD. Please help me push to the front thread cos I need advice from experienced Nigerians who have studied abroad. Thanks. I appreciate

My guy, don't be scared. Go for the PhD. But discuss with your supervisor and he can allow you to have an extended PhD program that incorporates some taught elements (M.Sc.) He will be willing to cooperate since he is the one that suggested the PhD program to you. PhD is the ultimate. Don't miss a PhD in Canadian university for anything. They are not Nigerian schools that will frustrate you out of the program. Go for it.

US girl was kicked out of her prom because of this "Revealing" dress
Amy


When a high school student arrived at her senior prom in Tennessee, she was met with a surprising request: to leave.

Last Friday, Amy "spent time looking for the perfect dress, got her hair done and was meticulous in putting her makeup on," Tiffani Taylor, a friend of Amy's, wrote on her Facebook page. But despite looking "like a princess," she was turned away from the school dance because her dress - an off-the-shoulder embellished tulle gown - was deemed "too revealing."

To Taylor, it was clear that it wasn't the dress that the Maryville High School administrators were uncomfortable with - it was Amy's body type.

After spending some time in the restroom crying, she was told she could go in if she wore the vice principal's tux jacket, which mind you, did not cover her chest. She was told by a teacher repeatedly, "Us big girls gotta cover up." This young girl was SHAMED for having breasts. Her excitement during this memorable time of her life turned into embarrassment at the hands of adults who are supposed to be leading her. SHAME on YOU, Maryville. I think you look amazing, Amy.

What's more aggravating: the Facebook post has yielded comments from Amy's fellow students, who confirmed that their own dresses to the same prom were arguably more revealing than the one Amy wore. "Your dress was definitely one of the classier ones compared to the thigh-high slits and sheer tops," one wrote. Another student showed a picture of the backless dress she wore to the school's prom, noting, "How is Amy's cleavage somehow more revealing than my lower back?!"

Although this experience put a somber note on what should have been Amy's happy night, perhaps this image of her, standing proudly in her stunning prom dress, will shed much-needed light on the sexist root of arbitrary dress code violations that continue to happen - predominantly to girls - in schools across the nation.

Those who believe in fake lifestyle because of what they see on TV and movies should learn from this news!
People should know where to draw the line between the so-called ''stardom'', '' fame'' and being real and natural.
All that glitters is not gold!
When you see people on TV with made-up appearances and glamour, don't be carried away. They are mostly fake impressions!
Be real. Don't forget your African values and virtues. Women, take care your husbands, give him the attention and cooperation that he needs.
Men, don't just marry a girl for her beauty or fame or glamour. Go for the ones that can cook, take of you and the home with respect and humility.
All the nonsense they call ''entertainment'' will fade away some day.

jerseyboy:
Soyinka's support for Buhari in 2015 was perplexing for a man of letters. So many were blinded by hatred for Jonathan that they failed to see clearly that they were marching us back to the Egypt of our Fulani internal colonial masters.

Think deep before you write!
Who are the people that voted for GEJ in 2011?
The same people have the right to vote for Buhari in 2015!
Jonathan messed up the chance that he had. If Buhari does same, he will be voted out as well!

When a married African woman wears skimpy revealing dresses, appears almost nude in music videos, at shows, parties etc all in the name of ''entertainment'', then I would not be surprised to hear this kind of news!
As a married woman, you must know how to carry yourself about!
Your home must be first.

I wonder if the Nigerian military know the strategic importance of releasing or keeping silent on this kind of information!
Their careless talks and disclosures of information that they should keep to themselves are some of the reasons why the Boko Haram insurgence still lingers.

When they talk about Nigerians doing exploits abroad we know they are talking about Igbos the most traveling tribe in Nigeria. Kenya never see something by the time we are through with them, they will beg whites to come take their lands again

Who told you the Igbo are the most travelling tribe? Don't confuse travel with desperation!
The Igbos just started traveling to West African countries like Ghana, Ivory Coast, etc in the last two decades or so. But Yoruba people have been there for more than hundred years! Yoruba don't just travel to sell only goods in the markets and streets to announce their physical presence ...they work as teachers in schools, nurses, university lecturers, doctors, lawyers, commercial drivers, agricultural workers, businessmen, accountants etc Go to Ghana, CIV, Togo, Senegal, Gambia, SA, London, US, S/Arabia, Kuwait. etc Yoruba people have been traveling long before the civil war. Igbo people started traveling desperately only after the civil war when the east became impoverished. But the igbos are more desperate and they can do anything, legitimate or criminal to make money even in a foreign country! That is the difference

winkmart:
The Lagos State Government has announced that an additional foot bridge would be constructed at Ojota bus stop on Ikorodu road, to complement the existing one in order to contain the recent upsurge in usage by Pedestrians.

The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, said the decision arose out of the need to reduce the long time being currently spent on the queue by people using the bridge.

He said the construction of the additional bridge has become necessary after the newly erected New Jersey Wall on the median of the expressway has effectively curtailed indiscriminate dropping and picking of passengers along the highway as well as dangerous crossing of the road on foot by commuters.

He reiterated that the need for the construction of the wall, which is similar to the same measure taken between Ketu and Mile 12 axis of the road is meant to reduce fatalities on the part of commuters crossing the highway and the traffic gridlock caused by commercial buses and motorcycles engaging in indiscriminate dropping and picking of passengers.

While commending the orderly conduct of commuters in the usage of the bridge, the statement urged them to be patient with government until the new one is constructed, adding that the project is expected to be delivered within three months.

Ayorinde added that the new bridge will accommodate the special needs of the physically challenged, for their ease of movement.

Very lazy hinking government! It is not only Ojota that deserves to have a foot bridge! There are many spots along Lagos-Abeokuta expressway that deserve to have pedestrian bridges e.g. Mongoro. Cement,Iyana Ipaja, Abule Egba etc. Same for Oshodi-Gbagada Expressway and many other places

Of course not our Igbo monkeys.
The IGBOs in South Africa are drug dealers and 419 criminals, they are the ones making the locals attack foreigners.

Similar thing in Ghana as well.
Ghanaians have been living in peace with Nigerians (mostly Yoruba people) since pre-colonial times. All of a sudden, a new set of Nigerians started trooping to Ghana in the 90s/2000s and Ghana/Ghanaians started experiencing hell!
Today, it is the burden of ECOWAS treaties that is restraining Ghanaians from sending them away!

TechsNG:
Infinix, yesterday the 4th of April, 2016, Launched the infinix Hot 3 x554 android phone to the Nigerian market. The phone which is seen as an upgrade to the first android one smartphone in Africa - infinix hot 2, was launched in Indonesia and Kenya last month.

You may have known of the specs of the phone so i wouldn't want to bore you with that. Instead, i am looking at the price.

The infinix hot 3 was launched with a price tag of N26,500 in Nigeria. While the price tag seem very affordable, something isn't just right. Elly, few days back, gave us a hint via comment stating that the hot 3 has been launched in Kenya with a price tag of $75 (75USD).

https://www.techsng.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/infinix-hot-3-price-in-kenya.png

I also did some little research and stumbled on a kenya website currently selling the hot 3 x554 smartphone for KSH 7,899. Since i don't know the current exchange rate, i decided to consult Google and Google said Kenyan Shilling 7,899 equals to N15,507.79 in Nigerian Naira.

https://www.techsng.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/price-of-infinix-hot-3-in-kenya-revealed.png
https://www.techsng.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/finding-out-kenya-shilling-to-Naira-rate.png

Okay, i do understand that the exchange rate provided by Google may not be accurate and dollar rate affects the price but then, let's do some very simple mathematics going by what Elly said.

As at yesterday the 4th of April, 2016, i made a purchase online and my bank charged me N305 to a dollar (that rate hasn't changed in weeks if not months now). Some banks in Nigeria charge even less. Now, N305 x 75 = N22,875. If we want to go further by using the black market dollar exchange rate, N320 x 75 = N24,000. The difference may be very little but i don't think it's fair. So my question is, why the difference in price? Are we being cheated?

Source: http://www.techsng.com/2016/04/infinix-hot-3-x554-launched-nigeria-no-price-isnt-right.html

Do you factor in the costs of doing business in Nigeria? Do you have fuel in your car right now? Do companies in Kenya rely on generator for power the way we do in Nigeria? Do companies in Kenya have to build their own water facility the way we do in Nigeria?
Compare apples with apples. Nigeria is an abnormal place.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
The Duara goat has started putting pressure on the Ghanian govt for rightly refusing his fellow criminal Fulani herdsmen from entering Ghana freely.

This move by the Ghanian govt is to have all entering Ghana to be documented.


ECOWAs still remains a free migration zone for all member states.

The Ghanian govt hopes to ensure only those with legal passports can enter Ghana and that they must be documented !

Most of you on nairaland have no single trace of cognitive reasoning and can't seem to understand what this new immigration policy by Ghana is meant to curtail.


ECOWAS, if I must remind you does not have sovereignty over any of it's member states!


West Africa is not some liberal cesspit EU that allows millions of undocumented migrants in!

Use your brains for once!

God bless you for the intelligence! I don't know why most people on this forum are lazy thinkers!
The new regulations is basically for the non-ECOWAS, AU member countries.
