Never trust a Nigerian with your money! I can't count the number of times my parents have been duped by people they considered family! This is a lesson you learn after being bitten a couple of times!

The OP went shopping in the pigsty and is shocked his purchase turned out dirty! You think club girls are interested in you because you are handsome?! The kind of Nigerian girls you're looking for rarely ever go to clubs, especially not by themselves. Any Naija man from a good background/home will know that you don't go to certain places to find girlfriends! The girls I hang-out with when I go home are either friends of friends or friends of my cousins. They are usually from good homes and lack nothing. When I go out and pay, it's by choice. They would NEVER demand anything from me. You're looking for girls in the wrong places bros! Don't come here crying when those girls end up milking you dry!

How have they managed to stay together for this long, even after all the kids left home? What is the source of the arguments? Try separating them for a few months and see how everything goes. It sounds like they have a complicated relationship - you don't want to meddle too much or they might both band together and then turn against you! I have seen this happen before.

Those aren't houses! Those are shacks!

Government control, government control, excuses excuses, when last did you buy a newspaper? when last did you place an advert in newspaper? and you expect newspapers to survive.

millions of Nigerians now get their news from television, radio and internet (via their mobiles) less and less Nigerians are buying newspapers. everywhere in the world including Nigeria the print media is reducing, even you, yes you by leaving comments on Nairaland you are contributing to the demise of the print media, when did you; yes you Moremi2008 ever write a letter to a Newspaper?

I have a newspaper subscription and I wrote a letter to the editor (the NYT) last year but it wasn't published. Does my reply make my previous arguments more valid? I just don't understand why your questions are relevant.

So this is what the newspaper means when it says it will "change the face of journalism"? Looks like business as usual to me. Another government shill created to prop up a kleptocracy.

http://www.momentng.com/en/news/4130/we-will-partner-with-the-moment-says-imoke.html

THE Chief Press Secretary and Special Adviser to Governor Liyel Imoke on media has said that the Cross River State government was willing to partner with the management of The Moment Newspapers in its development drive to make life more meaningful for its citizenry.

Mr. Omini Oden said this yesterday when Mr. Nkereuwem Udom, Senior Advert Officer of The Moment Newspaper paid him a courtesy call in his office as part of measures towards a cordial working relationship with the management.

His words: ‘The stories I see in The Moment Newspapers’ are quality stories and worthy of commendation towards enhancing societal values’

Oden said the administration is open to constructive criticisms that will impact directly on the ordinary people because according to him, the administration emphasises on taking governance to those that needed it most.

According to the chief press secretary, under the last four years of the Imoke Administration, the government has come up with a seven-point development agenda and a robust economic blue print, all targeted at providing some basic comfort to the people, who he said willingly entrusted him with their secrete mandate.

This is wonderful news! His Excellency must have finally listened to his constituents and inaugurated the state's most prized cows and goats as special assistants! Finally, some representation for livestock, an historically underrepresented group of Northern Nigerian citizens!

Ayatollah Buhari indicts himself! The Enemy-in-Chief of Nigerian democracy! The original destroyer of Nigerian democracy and the current Master Architect of religious strife in the North!

The crazy man has no sense of self-awareness! He didn't get the chance to steal enough money the first time, wants a second chance and won't leave the country alone!!!

@Ournaija

you obviously did not read my post fully, I mentioned 'power' as one of the costs. However Next Newspaper (which I personally buy regularly especially Next on Sunday) is like every other business in Nigeria, all of us that own businesses have to contend with the same issues. If people like you refuse to patronize the business the business will fail.

I am not supporting failure only reality. I left UK to start my business in Nigeria 2 years ago, I don't have any government connections, it's been tough but I am surviving.

Government is just one of things that hamper business in Nigeria with so many so-called 'naija factor'. but if you wait for a magic wand that will correct over 50 years of bad government and inertia then there is no point in even starting.

I said in my post I respect the publishers and bankers of Next for their ability to keep trading for 2 years at a loss. BUT ultimately they backed the wrong horse, print media is not the way to go in the world today. The Sun newspaper in UK had a circulation over 6 million about 10 years ago, it's now down to 2 million - is Rupert Murdoch a bad businessman? or is it lack of government patronage that has reduced the readership?

Please face facts, Next newspaper is not being killed by government, but by the normally pressures of doing business in Nigeria and the worldwide dwindling market in print media. I ask you again when last did you buy a newspaper?

You can't honestly compare the Nigerian print business to the one in the UK. How many Nigerians get their news from the Internet? The bigger issue here is that NEXT is closing while many other government-bribed newspapers are thriving. That's the real tragedy here. It looks like newspapers must either change their business models to include regular government payouts (and control) to survive and that's just sad.

This was another enemy of progres. I am glad that they are gone.

Are you insane? NEXT is an enemy of progress?! In what world but an insane mind's? I can't imagine what the Nigerian diaspora would have done without NEXT during the tragicomedy of Yar'Adua's regime! NEXT spoke truth to power (until recently, I think) and the quality of its journalism was miles above any other Nigerian daily. It's a tragedy that there is no room for a publication like this in Nigeria. Its another demonstration of the effects of the malignant cancer that we call government on the country. Siphoning the government's wealth to private accounts in Dubai & Switzerland while starving the economy of infrastructure funding and policies that might stimulate private sector growth.

Ikoyi Club, playground of the Nigerian kleptocracy and its corrupt elites! I am not particularly sorry to see this one go. I pray nobody is injured.

Niger & Chad are on the list? LWKMD!!!!!!!!!!! Northern Nigeria is practically the same as Niger & Chad. There are zero border controls and goods/services/people come and go as they please. The President might as well put Northern Nigeria on the terrorism list too! LOL!

So this man makes them confess in front of the church and then records it to use to discredit them later? Wow! Jesus save us from wolves in sheep clothing.

This is really sad. The pain is real oh!

governor of an  state!

Idi.@.t governor of an idi.@.t state!


These censors!

Hahaha! God don catch them! Now they apply for visas with fake names and passports.

Idiot governor of an idiot state!

Nothing in this story makes any sense. Either the suspected wife is crazy or the reporter is the crazy one.

Time heals all wounds and binds all broken hearts. You'll get over it; that's certain.

The blogger has only extrapolated ideas by Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" to the Nigerian situation. He is probably right but nobody can predict the next wave of wealth generation in Nigerian and in the world. You can't underestimate the effects of chance political and economic changes on the future. These theories can only be proved in hindsight. The idea is food for thought though.

Wow! Na wa oh!!!!!!!!!

Male nanny ke? Have women finished in the market? Why invite the devil into your own home? Haba!

There is something really suspect about this story! The NDLEA is a corruption ridden entity that can't catch a mouse without tips (and without demanding bribes). The stupid man must have continued pushing drugs via couriers in Lagos or his naija partners ratted him out so they can steal his money/product.

Wow! This is truly devastating! I pray for peace and healing for this girl. These guys will not go unpunished by God.

Stuff like that happens all the time in Nigeria. There is a very sordid underground market for human body parts. It's truly horrific.

Hahaha God forbid me no go even fi lodge for that kinnda bedbug infested house, not to bleep ashi there sef, that house is just a 1970 built house, men Ibadan hoes are cheap as hell

There is no way that house was built in the 70s. Probably 40s or 50s.

I know that building and it's a filthy brothel.

The writer has a valid point. Nigerian politicians have been using real estate to launder money for years! Go check the property registers in London and Dubai, your jaws will drop!

There really isn't a cogent thesis in all of this, just mere speculations and conspiracy theories. Clearly, there is a strong current of Islamic radicalism in the country that needs to be checked. However, you can't base national policy on mere speculation and innuendo.

Nigeria as it currently stands is unworkable and does not really have a future. The best that can happen to it is for it to break into large fragments. We have to hit the reset button on this failed British experiment.

Beaf is right on this one. This was a TERRIBLE move by OBJ. His visit [b]legitimized [/b]an otherwise shadowy band of illiterate, disgruntled men with no clear vision or purpose besides expressing their general dissatisfaction. OBJ is a fool and I think he has bitten a lot more than he can chew. The sycophants that surround him must have convinced him that he is a much-loved and respected elder-statesman and the old fool must have appointed himself as the "last answer" for Nigeria's problems. Can anyone remember that this same old man showed up at a UN meeting in New York, uninvited and was pleading with security to let him in the building? I doubt that GEJ had anything to do with this visit; in fact, this OBJ move is quite the opposite - it's an undisguised effort to undermine GEJ's authority. Now that Yar Adua is gone, Old Baba Fool (OBF) wants to regain control of his property.

You really need to check your thinking. Are you from the village?

You sound like you're an enemy of progress. Please let the woman be; you should be proud of her instead of coming on here to devise ways to frustrate her efforts.

This is just stupid, the situation is a lot more complicated than that, you slowpoke.
