I feel so honored to be on the front-page All of
my hard work and dedication has finally paid off.
Getting the top comment has been a dream of
mine for many years, and I would like to thank
those who have helped me along the way. Next I
would like to thank my parents. I want to thank
my frnd kam's cat, for being really fat and always
there for me. I would also like to thank my pet
tadpol for surviving against all odds for over a
week.Next I would like to thank the squirrel that
lives in my backyard for climbing trees because
that gives me inspiration that I need to get
through the day. This is a special moment in my
life and I would like to thank any of my
unmentioned friends and family that have helped
me along the way. This moment will be a moment
that I will never forget. I just remmembered a few
other people I would like to thank; nairalanf, the
fish I caught in pry 3, my lightin my
room bc I wouldn’t be able to see the keyboard
without it, the internet for letting me come on nairaland, my house because without it I would be
homeless, and last but not least I would like to
thank all the people out there that actually took
time out of their day to read this. I cannot stress
how much of a big deal to me thisis. I have been
trying to be on the frontpage of a post for
years, but that has not been possible until this
amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will
continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare occasion.
If you asked how I did this, I would say, you can
achieveanything u set your mind on. To all the
kids out there reading this, I would like to tell
them to follow their dreams. Being on the frontpage is amazing, thank you everyone.

sorry o.. but is there something attached to the front page? y'all always celebrate It.

THIS IS NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( IN LEONIDIS VOICE)

deanoffaculty:
Good news to all Ladies! Eye pencils and Eye Liners will now be purchased at a reduced price....even free
Nigeria and Bleep-up thingz sha! Our target is production of PENCILS......CHAI!!! Next thing will now be production of CRAYON.
Anyway,God bless Naija!

my grandma's neighbour in Benin is a pure water manufacturer ... from that pure water business he built 2 houses n purchased a car . before stiff competition arrived. if 10 people dash u 100 naira u don get 1k o

the China that is producing toothpick , cotton bud and other minor items no get sense?

Adebo007:
Speak for yourself Not SS.

guy u sef no get right to add ss to your so called biafra

una tire person o ... ND no want una wan force us join! later una go dey complain say Nigeria dey FORCE una stay?! hypocrisy

josite:
since dasuki is a key suspect,why cant dss allow doctors to acess him and gave him a room to meet his wife evry now and then.no point in being cruel to him.

who told u dss will deny him doctors? after all dokpesi even had a phone while in prison .

in naija the moment a top shot is arrested he needs med treatment. abroad... while those wey don get Info about imminent arrest abscond and claim they went for doc appointment !

[quote author=mrDennis
if we are all to obey authority then why did xtians go to places and continents who already had authorities .(kings and gods) to preach about their own God and urge people to convert ?
why is nnamdi kanu going against Nigerian authorities , why is Christ embassy fighting south Africans authorities proposal to tax churches.?
u will just quote one line from bible forgetting its a part of a bigger letter by an apostle to another about a particular issue [/quote

Just try to get my point and stop quoting me words out of content.
Christian goes to places to preach cos there is no were it is that preaching is a crime,
Nnamdi Kanu comitted a crime dats y he is in detention of the authority
Christ embassy are not fighting with physical strength but through legal means so as not to go against the authority and there is nothing wrong in agitation provided its within d law.
Crimes are committed against authority ( law of a given place). And bible is against disobedient.

guy just admit u wrong and recant ur statement ... if preaching the gospel isn't a crime then why was Stephen and lots of early preachers killed?
why did the missionaries preach the gospel even after obas and chief priests warned them not to?
stop deceiving yourself ... xtianity has changed in a very different way from the bible xtians . accept that fact @least

wait.. u mean after all the protests and threats buhari still didn't release Mr. kanu?
.
well maybe after the Xmas they will start protesting again... no p.

as far as they continue protesting in ibo areas across Nigeria they are safe.

real money must be made In 2016. any other gathering is a waste of time .

onatisi:
When we told Nigerians that buhari knows nothing about the rule of law before the elections ppl thought we antagonised him based on party lines . This buhari is the one that enacted the dreaded decree 2 during his first term which gave the NSO then the powers to arrest and detain indefinitely. Gradually he will bring a similar redesigned decree 2 in again and the senators will approve it because they are all dirty and won't want to be in buhari bad books. Buhari won't relinquish power in 2019,and will want to die in power.this is another abacha on the making

my guy see Singapore's leader ruled for more than 8years... if buhari. impresses me enough I will be happy to have him for another 4 years and if we @ the promised land come 2023 & he wants to go for another term Omo let him go for it o... call me naive but I don't care who is in power .... I care about the indices like COST OF LIVING , STANDARD OF LIVING , MURDER /CRIME RATE LITERACY RATE , HDI , etc .

we need Only people ready to serve and performing.. if pmb doesn't perform credibly by 2019 then be should be booted out .
in China u embezzle u die ... nothing like bail .. case go start and end lol

Cityguy:
I tire for them ooo. This is the time for right thinking people to act to prevent erosion of all the gains of democratic principles guiding us this far. No more dark days pls

which gains of democracy.? if u not a big man and police harasses u who can u report to?
if not for this new regime tell me when siren is blaring in a traffic log jam fear go let u insist on the minister or governor staying in the traffic and not moving ur car?
that big man took over your land u can't complain .
ur polling unit voted aganst a candidate but when results are being called it shows he won ur unit by even more votes than the population of the entire oolong unit .

please we haven't been in a democracy... we've been in an autocracy .

Cypost:
Your position is funny and unfortunate. Buhari can only be president for 8yrs max.
However PMB have some options b4 his 8yrs expires

1. Murder them jail like Abiola
2. Detain them infinitum like el mustafa
3. Bribe the judges up to supreme court to get conviction etc
PMB cant be a prosecutor and judge at the same time and be receiving cheers.

Nigeria is ruled by laws not military/civilian fiat. Be mindful of what you cheer and support because what goes around comes around.

sorry did u say ngeria is ruled by laws? which laws ? abeg only the poor are ruled by laws.
.ibori that a Nigerian court discharged was convicted by a UK court
DSP that ijaws are praising entered a plea bargain with efcc
igbenedion entered a plea bargain with efcc
tafa balogun stole 20bn n was sent to jail for 6months(actually heard it was commuted to house arrest!)
Cecilia ibru stole 54bn n got 6 months . recently JOHN YAKUBU YUSUF a former police pension board director stole 26bn reached a plea bargain and was ordered to pay 750 THOUSAND NAIRA (750K)

please repeat the statement that "Nigeria is governed by the rule of law"

before I do that, quote a verse in the bible that says exam malpractice is a sin.

Exam malpractice is a crime against authority and the bible in Romance 13:1-7 admonish us to obey authority. That's why exam malpractice is a sin because if disobedient

if we are all to obey authority then why did xtians go to places and continents who already had authorities .(kings and gods) to preach about their own God and urge people to convert ?

why is nnamdi kanu going against Nigerian authorities , why is Christ embassy fighting south Africans authorities proposal to tax churches.?

u will just quote one line from bible forgetting its a part of a bigger letter by an apostle to another about a particular issue

Analysiscorner:
Look at this example. A medical doctor inserts his fingers into the vagina of a girl or woman for medical examination and another person inserting his fingers into the same for pleasure

in the old days it's is WOMEN who tend to women in labour . NOT MEN. even till today in villages its only women (what we call mid wives ). that attend to labouring mother's. go check dat fact!
that is why 95% of doctors are either athiest or passive xtians and Muslims.

waternogetememy:
Yoruba and Hausa can live in that country.

.

lahor (please). leave Niger delta out of biafra Naaa ... when tompolo , dokubo ateke n co were deceiving themselves saying they were struggling for us we rejected them . not to talk of foreigners (ibos)
you cannot fool a ND man. SS. is not SE. don't ever state Niger delta is part of biafra again.

gosh .. anybody who believes everything this woman is saying is totally a wuss who doesn't know how manipulative women are.

jared007:
see urself. Is masturbation a sin or the motive behind it? If u masturbate at the hospital to extract sperm 4rm ur penis to test against STD so u ve sinned right? Man judges the outward but God judges the heart. The concept of sin is in THE MOTIVES NOT THE ACTION!

21st century xtianity ... u xtians claim the bible is ur standard yet keep editing it.

the bible expressly forbids masturbation... didn't take into consideration any exigent circumstamces. suddenly sin is about motive .

ok what if that guy or girl is masturbating so as to satisfy him or herself so the temptation to commit paedophilia , rape etc is suppressed has such a human committed a sin? ehn pastor

u xtians need to create the "modern testament" because like the old testament needed a little tweaking , obviously so does the new testament

the same dele momodu that said Nigerians are yet to see the change that pmb promised is now praising pmb saying change has really come? because something favour am?
...

by the way davidos family is powerful ... so also is momodu .. this man who should be putting up instagram posts trying to diffuse the situation n urging davido n his family to hold a family meeting concerning the kid and baby mama support he's insulting his grey hair with childish post .

I don't give a hoot bout their drama but man... I'm riding with davido cos he's a young playa who was in a non exclusive relationship with that oldie and she intentionally carry belle to tie herself to him for life... see gobe?

viqSmallz:
See as dem slim sef..if dem leave dem with d guy dem fit no seee draw sef...u de lagos de form millitary ur mate de fight boko..idiats

buhari that was an army man you see 6 packs or muscles? guy go and download "THE MAKING OF A SOLDIER". make u see how many boiz will muscle dey quit for NDA lol.

nmreports:
Ah na wa oooo.

See the letter a fan wrote to Davido family: http://www.nairamode.com/2015/12/letter-to-davido-sophia-and-baby-imade.html

a very laughable letter... who told her they both shared a bed full of promises & love not raging konji inspired by drugs & alcohol? some people will just be obsessed with the lives of these artistes ...
imade, mummy n daddy loves u? lmao

I LEAVE THEM TO GOD? SO DAVIDO IS A XTIAN? SHOCKED

rman:
Now I know u don't understand telecoms business so there is no need discussing with u. Let us even assume all 5.2 million sims did 5 naira transaction daily like u assumed. Isn't there a cost to keep them communicating. Abi mtn just willed it and it happens. Sites must be powered, switches must be powered...expensive softwares are working, man power working 247 , ensure any time T, this is possible. So if u understand the business u will re-do your calculation that's too basic.

I definitely addressed the 100m fine. What is the 100m fine for? Ask people doing business with all these telecos and all will unanimously tell u mtn is the best to do business with. Why is mtn now having issues with only ncc?

U have failed to see my point. Fine mtn, but let it be a reasonable fine.. simple as ABC

the beauty of finance is it cut across every fibre of society... nothing is free not even the free rhapsodi being distributed. to people.

now lemme enlighten u ... I chose a small figure 5 to represent the minimum ... don't u know one unregistered SIM can spend 5000 naira a day on calls browising or whatver??

u talked about cost per SIM like there's a dedicated channel for each SIM not signals bouncing on DEDICATED SERVERS . if the telcos operating costs isn't manageable no Telco will gve tariffs that won't outweigh cost na.

also my opinion has always been simple which is NCC meted out the maximum punishment allowed by law simple... mtn appealled and got. a reduction .
what are they going to civil courts to do exactly? reduce fine? what power does a judge have to decide whether or not a fine should be slashed ?? lol

I know u want a more reasonable fine and that is why I pointed out the lesser fine meted out to other telcos not just mtn and they quickly adhered but MTN. DARED the NCC .

u arguing out of sentiment and fear .... it's not really ur fault it's the pdp gov that refused to allow u c naijas potentials .
NO company is biggger than Nigeria

Decker:
Wait, I am still trying to wrap my head around this phrase you just made; She is a lady naw
What has that got to do with anything? So if someone is a lady means she shouldn't make sensible comments? And if she does, someone shouldn't point out her flaws to her?

Look, this is a public forum. Everyone is responsible for every comment made here. All we all do here is air our opinions and I will air mine regardless of the gender of any sobriquet. The way I will reply a guy is the same way I will reply a lady. Anyone who has a problem with that can go fuq a dead horse.

It's because Nairaland has a gender tag on each moniker that's why you are even saying what you are saying. That's why more advanced forums like Reddit for instance, doesn't place a gender tag on the usernames of it's registered members. That way, people can air their honest views without being all sentimental like you are being.

guy you are a real man! not these pro-feminist ish the west wants to force down on Africa.

the babes opening remark was "you're not making any sense". = You spewing nonsense lols. and your reply was epic

"she's a lady naw". lmaooo . African woman no go gree say she be woman .. she go say I be lady oooo.

olukenzo:
Honestly I'm beginning to get tired of these iPod guys, they are just incorrigible.

I hope Tonyebarcanista and the other Nigerian Deltans are watching. The Nigerian state may not necessarily be your best friend, but you know who your wishers of bad tidings are. Just because they refused to be drawn into your Biafra nonsense.

Cockroaches!

when u observe the venom and narcissistic vibes they spew you have to pity any minority tribe under biafra (if col. ojukwu had won the war)

such pride , irritation and disdain for other tribes. makes you wonder how come they flood foreign lands (in the zoo). to make their daily bread .
.
am yet to see how oil has positively affected ND ... infsct I hope it dries up sooner so the FG will put more effort into cleaning up our lands and ensuring our fishing industry thrives.
.
imagine naija importing fish

asorocker:
The decline of the oil industry is going to be worse on the states of Lagos and kano.

Lagos because an analysis of the igr of Lagos shows that Lagos derived it's revenue from the income tax and the income tax bulk is from the oil workers whose offices are in Lagos.
The oil and gas component of the Lagos igr is more than 40% of the igr. Income tax paid by high earning oil and gas industry executive who gross average of N5m monthly has helped Lagos


Secondly kano will be the worst hit as the only state whose take home is equivalent to the take home of niger delta states with their 13% derivative.

Kano doesn't have the human capital to generate income tax.

Third state /city is Abuja. It is said that Abuja was built with oil money, where would the money to sustain and maintain Abuja come from if not the same money from niger delta.

Some states like kwara, benue, adamawa can easily with agriculture fight the downturn of their economy, how would sokoto, yobe, jigawa whose populace don't farm and whose land is far from economic centres for export of agricultural products survive.

The next in line are the hausa cities of katsina, batching, kaduna who benefitted from the lopsided federal allocations. Now that the oil wealth is going and there is no human capital we hope they will not turn to insurgency as a means of raising attention and revenue.

The states that would enjoy and be kings in the new dispensation.

Anambra, Nigeria's brain box and commercial hub will have its non oil economy growth unequalled and unrivaled. Anambra survived with no oil allocation managed the little it had and built an enabling environment for investments.

Akwa Ibom, this state was blessed with resources and good managers who used it very well to grow infrastructure and are currently working on a sea port.

Abia this state hosts aba, Nigeria's city of enterprise and football, aba is living beyond oil already.

I have never been to akwa ibom... pls which INFRASTRUCTIRES are in akwa ibom?

DONSMITH123:
In a move to improve security across the communities of Rivers State, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has approved the release of security stipends to traditional rulers to assist them enhance community security.

Addressing the 102nd Quarterly General Meeting of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers on Wednesday, Governor Wike said that the security stipends will assist the traditional rulers to generate intelligence which will be forwarded to the security agencies for necessary action.

He said : “The security stipend to traditional rulers which will be disbursed to recognised traditional rulers will start from 2016. This stipend should not be used outside of gathering security intelligence.

“We shall also introduce special awards to traditional rulers who maintain peaceful communities. We believe these awards will encourage communities to take steps to improve security across the state”.

Governor Wike charged the traditional rulers to insulate themselves from partisan politics by ensuring that they remain neutral in all political matters.

He stated that being involved in politics diminishes the respect people accord to traditional rulers.

According to him : “You are custodians of customs and traditions and not custodians of politics. Your duty is to bless anyone that comes to you and not to make political pronouncements".

Speaking further, Governor Wike said that the support of traditional rulers played a key role in the achievements of his administration.

He noted that his administration has restored the dignity of traditional rulers, noting that he will continue to liaise with them to attain greater development.

In his address, the Chairman of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers, King Dandeson Douglas Jaja, Jeki V, Amanyanabo of Opobo , commended Governor Wike for restoring the Quarterly General session of the council’s meeting. He said the last meeting was held over two years ago.

The Traditional Ruler commended the Governor Wike administration for the execution of pro-people development projects and the release of logistic support to security agencies.

same way jona was sharing dollars to trad rulers ... e work? the people no longer listen to most trad rulers .

only a few still command respect from their subjects

I will not criticise Islam because I don't want someone to issue fatwa on me..

now to xtianity... the Jews didn't bring us xfianity ... the whites did ! the same whites that turned our forefathers to PROPERTY. and killing a black man amounted to the same thing as breaking your kitchen table lol

their pastors encouraged their followers to be racist as black men are not humans , yet even after blacks helped America win the war they were still not fully recognised as human beings .

yet it is this same foreign religion we carrying on our head? ... slowly the whites edited xtianity to include mini skirt to church , premarital sex , body piercings , tattoos , now homosexuality etc

yet we still carrying it on our head... Gambia presido just declared Gambia the "Islamic republic of Gambia". in a move he claims takes them further away from their colonial past Islam? another imported religion lmao .

our forefathers sacrficed twins and the practice worked. they sacrificed children goats etc to end droughts and it worked for them . they stopped sacrifices and started praying to the white man's God's and it worked . if they do stop anything religious... it will still work lol

harios:
Some one mentioned 90% of the pastors are fake. I am a christian and I think that in Nigeria and Africa, fake pastors and priest are close to 95-97%. It is only about 3-5% that I, think are fair enough to be called pastors or priest in Nigeria and Africa specifically. There is no spiritual descernment to this fact. It is a very clear fact. After so many years of job haunting and the rest of it.. some one suddenly picks up and says he is the General Oversee of one ministry or church...That is what you see in Nigeria. I suggest a legislature on illegal religious building or activities.

exactly ... the same priests that molested lil boys and girls blessed some families , they life became better .. but other families kids future spoilt because of the molestation.

so tomorrow when the priest is finally caught , the Catholic church will excommunicate him or whatever , the family of the kids will be in crisis ... but that man or woman the priest prayed for that now have jobs , kids or good health will be confused as to whether or not the man na fake.

that sums up 21st cent religion... how a man can have private jets (worldly things). & still remain rooted in Christ is a big question.

well if after all their wealth they still pastors (in Christ). or become merely motivational speakers quoting scripture is for The gods to know .

rman:
Mtn never had a monopoly. Econet launched their network first and Mtel was there when mtn launched, stop trying to twist history to suit your argument. By the time mtn lauched, customers have at least 4 options to choose from (Econet, Mtel, mtn and the old 090 lines by Nitel, they are mobiles too). You are the one being biased. Apple made astronomical profits by selling Iphones and they owe no one an apology. Obviously u are baised too because u are not stating facts.

50k fine for brt lane is not a relevant example under this circumstance.

I still do not understand how u wnat a company that hav invested billions to pay a fine that will not allow them break even for the next three years...

Do u think mtn has 700billion somewhere they will transfer into ncc account tomorrow at the click of a button?

Do u think banks will borrow a company money to pay fines? A company that owes some kind of loans already?

Everyone is talking about profits as if it is easy to make profit. The blacks man's mentality of sense of entitlement to someone else's hard work. Yes, that's the way I see it.


The fine is illogical and nobody can make me see governments reason for such a fine. 200k per sim, what is the average revenue per user? Did competition not naturally force prices down in telecommunications in Nigeria?

From the so called 50naira pe minutes and expensive sim to 10naira per minute to 100 naira sims. Which other commodity has dropped that much within the same span?

No company offers u cheap prices because they love u, superior products or services will always attract higher prices and the only way to force price down is not to demand for it but offer similar quality of products and services at lower prices.

My question is even if mtn pays this fine? What next? That's what everyone should b asking. Governors that couldn't pay salaries and got bailouts are already salivating on this urging ncc on...another revenue stream for all to share with nothing to show.

A reasonable fine based on mtns profits and financial profile should not be more that 100billion.

For every negative thing we post about mtn, there are 100 positive things they have added to the same economy. We all have to see it both ways hence we shoot ourselves in the foot. Don't Nigerians love shooting themselves in the foot?

actually u failed to break down the brt example... I mean the FINE is explicitly stated ... so the moment u encroach on the line u don't now start begging saying u only have 3k in ur pocket etc ...

mtn clearly knew the implication of what they were doing. , also u obviously not a finance guy cos u would know the same way politicians don't joke with 1 vote is the Sam's way corporate firms don't joke with 1 naira . let's do small calc

5naira spent by 5.2m Sims = N26m *7 days = N182m . so please stop acting like mtn didn't know the implication of their avtions. they just didn't expect the NCC hammer to fall so hard ! it's business they probably expected a fine in the millions which might have made up just 40-45% of their earnings on those unregistered Sims . MTN is a corporate entity stop arguing like they a roadside shop with no legal dept

even if the money is somehow mishandled by apc that's a seperate analysis ... first MTN MUST PAY. after all THERE WAS A SMALLER FINE (N100m). which u carefully ignore to mention that despite the fine and warning they didn't heed the directive of NCC.

forget goodwill ... it doesn't give anyone the right to repeatedly flout our laws.

stevLegend:
I dey smile una comments. Mostly, those shouting MTN should pay. #780bn is a huge money to anyone but not to MTN..
The truth is that, should MTN decide to pay, then, we, the users of the network will be the ones that paid it. because they will pay the money, and only have to activate their ''hidden tarrif'' on every sim where they'll over charge u for every seconds of call without the users knowledge. Sms would go back to 4 naira. Data bundles will be drilled like no man's biz. Knowing how over 70 million people are connected to the internet...
Contrary to what i'm sayin, that punishment of 780bn is much. When even in the same govt., there are worse offenders who goes free.

u funny o ... mtn tie your hand? am presently using glo 3gb for 1k bis on my q10 .. I load 2k every month and get 6gb then use my hotspot to. turn my Q10 to modem keep it in my pocket and flaunt my HTC phone like say na me get android data pass lols.

guy if mtn try am many people will port .

luvinhubby:
And the contribution of the same MTN to our rebased economy under GEJ is the parameter that the APC govt is presenting as a surety to creditors for the mega loans they intend taking to fund 2016 budget.
Penalising defaulting firms did not start with Buhari & will not end with him.
Blaming GEJ for every ill in our coperate nation by Buhar's regime is an expression of irresponsibility.

as a staunch apc supporter (not member). I fully agree with your point.... they should BLAME PDP. and not just gej (tho we expected so much from the man without shoes )

but obj also failed too .

it's not about poverty, unemployment or social amenities.. I see NO STRCTURE. in Nigeria .no system
