I spoke with them on the phone when i had a delay with my share cert and the lady told me that they were distributing batch batch. I had 20,000 units. I have got mine now. He said those that bought higher units would soon be getting theirs. If your own is above 20,000 units, wait a while, if not give them a ring. I spoke with them like one and a half month ago. Hope this helps

What's Your Honest Opinion About The New Sultan Of Sokoto ?

Ever since he was installed, he had made 2 major comments on Nigeria politics :

1. He rejected the new naira notes because the Arabic inscription was removed from it

2. He said INEC is not serious towards the conduct of the election.(as stated in http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=73062)

Now the question is, what can u make of this new emir? And is he still relevant in the Nigeria politics?

@Peedavinci

Pls do u have fact to substantiate your claim that Yaradua belongs to Ogboni confraternity or just hearsay.

@Ugodaniel

ugodaniel:
My honest opinion is that INEC was used by Obj and cohorts to personally wage a way against the VP, Atiku Abubakar. I can never understand the issues behind Atiku's purpoted disqualification. Thats my honest opinion like yu asked!

Acording to what @FACE wrote, he quoted what the Nigeria Constitution says about this. He gave us a legal reason why Atiku was disqualified. It's either u refer to another section of the constitution that states otherwise or u agree with @FACE. Saying that u dont understand the issues behind Atiku's disqualification to me seems that you have formed an opinion that u dont want to change. Mind u, Im not backing any1 here, i want to learn if it is justified or not. Simple!

Atiku was finally barred by INEC from contesting the April election. Is it fair or not?. What have you got to say about this?. Is there any substantial and legal basis to justify this act ?. Please, don't be bias or sound personal why contributing. Let's all learn from this thread please.

Please, me and friend are arguing here. Is it true that Ayo Mogaji got married to an herbalist for real?. Kindly contribute cos there's a bet on

@ Naija4ward

Could u pls educate me a bit about the 5% commission u were explaining about stock. I have bought a lot of stock in all these recents IPO by different companies. I have invested close 2 millions. I will like to know if this 5% still applies to people that buy during the IPO. Pls let me know as Im considering buying 30,000 units of dangote

He is an Islamist. Remember that Katsina State, where he's the governor, happened to be the 5th state that introduced Sharia. The State even ordered one woman, Amina, to be stoned to death for committing adultery. This was well played out on the international scene. What will be the lots of christians when such an Islamist, that might likely take Nigeria to a pariah state becomes the president. Aside from that, I think im ok with the guy. He's got a strange, quiet aura around him

@ Reverends

I know you are a "TALIBAN" masquerading yourself as a christian. Liar!!. May Holy Ghost do to you what "BUSH & BLAIR" did to "OSAMA".

It's people like you that make one to insult ISLAM, and really there are a lot of reasonable muslims in the world, but definitely you are not one. You dont smell but you STINK.

I guess you claim it's a religion of peace, I doubt!. You causing destructions and disasters in the world, now you take it down to nairaland. Shame!

Could you mention some pls

Please, what business do u think one can venture into in Nigeria with a million naira. Business that will guarantee regular monthly income , no matter how small and with not too high security. Let's discuss please

Hii,

Whats the best and easiest way to learn a coreldraw 12 and adobe photoshop 7.0 with a short period of time. The books are very voluminous and the manual are a bit difficult to go thru within short period of time.

@ Nikegenius @ nairalanders

You are all darlings!. It's being a wonderful piece of advice that I have greatly benefitted from. It's amazing the ingenuity of the nairalanders. I really appreciate the babes and guys that hang out here. I hope that in the end I will be able to make a good decision that I wont ever regret, decision that wont be based on the physical but lasting platform. It's not easy as im trying to pull away from the forces of ma ex, it's not easy at all cos anytime i speak to ma new babe, she springs to ma mind and I always feel the guilt of double standard. More advice, if any still welcome

@KACHI @KATHERINAE

Those r wonderful comments that knocked me to the canvass. I appreciate them. Strange, I'm almost settled with these, but more views and opinios are welcome

@ Katherinae

It seems u struck the right chord by using the clause that it seems I simply find her attractive. Yeah, honestly thats it. I find her very attractive, she only looks the best among the pack in ma eyes, and I know thats not enough for marriage. To be candid, my new girl is so beautiful too, but I cant explain why my ex beauty continues to haunt me. My ex is like 4 years older than ma new girl, but she doesnt seem to care about her age now. She's very close to 29 but that doesnt seem to bother her, she just said she loves and Im the only person in the world that matters to her, otherwise she would be miserable. I cant risk taking my ex back and Im so scared that I would end up missing my ex while im dating my new girl. Thats the problem!. May be Im greedy, maybe Im not, I dont even know now

@ cutie

That's a wonderful piece of advice. I have to see the face of God in the most earnest way. I'm nota perfect man but I hope God will still speak to me cos Im having a nightmare of life now. Thanks once again

That i will appreciate a load

@funke tobi.,

Nice thread!. I will keep visiting this to read from the nairalander. I stay @ new cross, hopefully we can have a drink together

@ MY PEACE

This is not funny at all o. It's ur advice I need not castigation or disdain. If u read all ma posting, u will realise It's situation that made me to end with 2 girls and no by being a playboy

@ Nikegenius

Your words really touched me, i must confess. I see myself as selfish and mean !. My new girl is wonderful. Even when I wrong her, she still apologise to me. She hates seeing me getting angry. She will do all to make me glad. I just PRAY that I will be able to overcome this "PULL" towards me ex. I'm struggling hard to shake her off, but she cling like a flea. Please, pray with me, because im not having the best of time.

But was my ex right to cheat on me cos she caught me cheated TWICE?. Was it a tenable excuse?, cos I use to think of this most times.
Further honest and candid opinion will be welcome.

My task sounds simple, but I don't know how to go about it.

I scanned a leaflet, and I want to make the text edittable, and still want to retain the font.

In summary, I want to make an exact "twin" or "duplicate" of the original. I was told by a friend that a software call omnipage can do it. I don't have i so I don't know if it will work. I welcome new and better suggestions, or more enlightenement on what ma friend suggested.

Thanks!

Hii highlanders, with the rapid rate at which microsoft (and some few vendors) effect change(s) in their software, can we say they are making the IT world confusing or are they justified. Take for instance. a guy just finished learning VB.NET 2003 , onlt to discover that VB.NET 2005 is out. He felt so discouraged cos despite all the hardwork he put into learning, he's still considered as falling behind technology. Are the vendors not really selfish of making money for themselves that they have forgotten about the users. Share ur own opinion pls

In this present age and situation in Nigeria, how much do u think an average wedding could cost (ie wedding gowns, foods, entertainment etc). ***Average in the sense that not to exotic but with a perfect blend of good taste.

And before one dreams of getting married to a chick, wat are the things one should be able to afford (i.e should one be able to buy a car for one's wife, how much , at least should one have in the account after wedding etc)

Pls contribute

If I were to be honest with u guys, there r basically 2 things that I remember about ma ex--her beauty and the way we make love. Though 98% of people say ma new girl is prettier but I don't know if they say this to console me so that I could forget about my ex or it's me that somethin has blindfolded. And to make matter worse, my ex has gone to confront my new girl's mum that her daughter is trying to snatch her husband. Though not in a violent way, she went to discuss the issue with her that her mum should help her to tell her daughter to hands off. I still speak to ma ex and ma new girl till now, and I don't av time against my side. I need to mak a concrete decision pretty soon. And moreso, before me and ma ex parted , we did introduction and , same has been done to ma new babe. But ma ex keeps flashing to ma mind. I hate it that I find it so hard to make my decision, but I can't explain what is actually happenin. My ex even insinuates that my new girl is respecting me just because she's trying to pretend not to show her true colour for now. The last time i was in Nigeria, i DID the terrible, I slept with ma ex secretly, and later she had to tell me that she's pregnant. She made a fuss about it to the extent that ma new girl heard about it. she felt so bad, but I challenged ma ex to let's go to hospital for test and she declined. She said since I refused to accept the pregnancy, she'd go and terminate it. She said she terminated it already now. I never knew if it's true she got pregnant though, but I'm back abroad and she's still begging, and telling me that it's not that she's not being approached by men that are even better than me, but that she cant explain why she doesnt love them but ME!. Im confused!!. Please, contribute because im not enjoying my life at all.

I'm quite happy with the response I have got from the Nairaland users. I agree with every bits of it, but one thing is that while I was actually with my ex, I was a big-time I flirt. I now have this feeling that my action then drove her to cheat on me as well. Though, she had always maintained that she didnt sleep with any man even after we broke up. She claimed that she was trying to fool the guy on the email, that she didnt have anything attached. She even swore to this. I wouldnt know how far that's true though. But I find myself discussing the nice moments I had with my ex with my new babe consciuosly or unconsciously, and it's hurting her. I always feel bad after though. And another confusing thing is that my ex is so beautiful that I know she would not have any problem with hooking up with a guy, but she continues to plead profusely and cry for me to have her back, and I always remeber the good old days when this happens. I love her and I still love my new girl. It's delaying me from making up my mind about the issue of marriage. I don't know if what is happening to me is normal. I hate to make my new girl feel like a stop-gap sort. Moreso,my ex is running her own business, she has money (she's not back cos of money), she only says that she cant love any other person but me, and she normally says I shouldnt make her life miserable. Please contribute
