Lol 18 °C is cold That one seff dey o.
Even Siberia, one of the coldest places on earthis right about 22 °C right now.

Ok sir but you know that in such places, anything from 28° or about that is what you can compare to normal weather of ours? I internationally put that weather degree there. Oh yes, 18° can be cold.

Cheers

“The stadium is a two-tiered structure and this includes a 400m-running track for athletic events and is the pilot part of Uyo Sports Park development. It sits on 36.3 hectares of land and is enclosed by a white triangular-shaped outer covering that encircles the whole stands. According to the main contractor, Julius Berger Nig PLC, the biggest challenge was the design and structural realization of the stadium shell, which consists of prefabricated triangular acrylic glass elements with randomly arranged “eye-shaped” openings.

These are some of the pictures of the stadium

Hello. To you and all other bloggers there. You can not source for a picture and then put your watermark on it. Don't try it with some people out there. What you did is like taking a Reuters or AP picture, then writing AutoReports on it. Writing the sources is not enough permission for you to put a label on the pictures. Take note

Do some Google search on image copyrights. Even Google now allows you to see the rights you have over pictures when you search. If you think it's no big deal, wait till they sue you.

In the summer
Don't display your ignorance outside

He is not entirely incorrect. Russia is close to the artic. Though it could be called summer, the weather still feels cold especially for the typical African man who isn't used to such. Today's weather in Moscow is 18° It's one of the considerations for choosing the host cities.

Check on social media today to see how Nigerians and other Africans in Russia are reporting how cold it is despite being in summer.

I just can't phatom the idea behind this beauty queen stuff. So what if you are coincidentally born with some physically appealing attributes that is acceptable by the standard of our colonisers and hence by a sizable percentage of the population? Eh so what? Did you choose the way you are born? Why should you get the attention, the prize, the gifts, the honour and what have you over other intellectually and mentally blessed individuals of both genders?

Because of #MeToo, beauty organizers in US are now abandoning the swim suit parade. They want them to be solely judged by their intellect. Surprised it took them this long to realise this

Is it her responsibility to provide pipe-borne water? So she should provide borehole, pipes, taps, chlorine treatment, and all the things that come with pipe-borne water? Even if all she does is provide one day of pure water, I would applaud. It's a lot better than government has been doing for its citizens. Unfortunately - I've looked into it - government won't even give right-of-way for people to install pipes if its not solely on private property.

Thank you for posting my thoughts

Bloggers and aproko... see her mouth

Hope you're aware that it'll be insulting to those who wear lip plates to equate their practice with aproko. Lip plates have nothing to do with lies or speaking. Take note

Rapoo:
where are you even diving at why making issues out of nothing.

I never in my comment remember saying that Iranian footballers wore the best. I only but commended and admired their attires.


and you asking me to define class

when an individual or group of people wears an unbeatable cultural attire like I said earlier is Class

and when they equally wear a well fitted English attire is Class

you quoted me out of Context

You're the one reacting out of context. It's just a public forum, do not take any comment personal. I hear your definition of class.


What I know is defined by class is


a set or category of things having some property or attribute in common and differentiated from others by kind, type, or quality

or

showing stylish excellence


Those qualities of differentiation and style mark it for me.

Cheers

I wouldn't expect a lawyer to argue with stats. Even though stats can make you say anything you want it to, it's dangerous politics to be expressing doubt over OFFICIAL figures. This is one reason we can't have census figures or evoting

Rapoo:
super eagles were showcasing our unbeatable cultural heritage while Iranian footballers were showcasing high level of class

What's the craze with suits? Why do Africans have a complex issue when it comes to viewing and appreciating our attire? In fact, if they could put on Agbada and Danshiki because of the cold, let them do so. If Ahmed Musa wants to put on the turban sef, let him do so. If Rohr wants to put on shorts, let him but it's the effect of the media when they feature foreign attire so much that you like it better than yours and see it as standard. Irony is that this people you want to copy are looking for our own clothes due to the unique designs and colors.


The suit has a purpose and if it doesn't suit us, there's no need to suit up!

It's amazing when you OP define Iranians as class and ours as cultural heritage. Define class please.

nijabazaar:
I still think that an element of "Its our Son" hanged around via out the 1993 election....in as much as it was the freest since Nigeria's history, u can not take away the lingering stench of tribalism or lets be more euphemistic....LETS VOTE ONLY FOR OUR SON....thing going on in the SW.

I mean its too obvious


the divisiveness existed a long time ago, just that it rises clearly off the murky waters of 'pretentious nationalism' at this time...Buhari's 2017-18

Divisiveness will always be brought in by those who want to. What about Tofa and those who say Yoruba Muslims? For Nigerian elections, the elections in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd republic tell us some things.

punisha:
Seriously in Nigeria the degree is almost good as useless. I read IR , but I work in a bank. Whilst those that didn't go to school are doing exceptionally well financially. I handle their accounts so I know this.
All fingers are not equal they say and yes I may be doing fine after 7years of giving my life to banking, but if I had known what I know now, I won't have bothered going to school o!
A man's gift / talents makes life easier... Help ur kids maximise their potentials early and they might just be d next Messi or Ronaldo or Dangote.

This comment of yours is loaded - yes, Nigeria has a dysfunctional system but many times, we don't realise we went to school to get an education. It is not only in Nigeria that you have people like you who studied A and did B. You went to SCHOOL to get an education. The UNIVERSITY trained you and gave you a degree. The expectation is to work in a related field but it doesn't always start or end that way.


When you are made the Head of West African operations or work in an international bank, your BSc in IR begins to make sense. That's the transferable knowledge you have. When you get a job in the UN or embassy and you guys have to deal with financial institutions, your bank experience beings to make sense. Oh, what if you visit Germany, speak German and a client simply needs someone like you to deal with their Swiss clients? Oh, now you see how studying German language for 4 years may not be a waste of time.


So, what's the essence of my post? Your education wasn't a waste of time. You're only acquiring experiences to probably be that future rich man you're aspiring to become.


This same education is what some of these rich guys crave for because, yes they have income but have little knowledge of the market or system. They have dubious managers who dupe them, marketers who lure them and other issues that make their riches fizzle out in the next minute. So bro, we are on different lanes. Trade does bring income but what about management? I like that Cesc Fabregas went to school while playing because it happens to most footballers that after their active years, they are switching to another career and money can easily go without proper investment. Those of them who went to school and studied pundits; took a course, attended press conferences after the matches get into sports media easily because those experiences exposed them to the inner workings of that industry.

Macron worked in Lagos but there was one thing he was acquiring - experience using English language. Though he got a job in a related field, he still needed to acquire something else that could have been easily ignored. He could have chosen to go to other Francophone countries but today, he is French president and multilingual too. He needs no translator when he gets to G7 meetings and during some foreign visits.


Many at times, we are only taught how to graduate in Nigeria but not taught how to explore. No experience or knowledge is useless. It could be working with an Alaba boy, it could be learning Swahili, it could be visiting the stadium every weekend, it could be hanging out with the police men - they are all acquired experiences. There is a process to get to where you want to get to. School is just teaching you the basics while experience makes knowledge to be easily applied. It is how you transfer the relevant knowledge and experiences while remaining focused in your career that matters. EXPLORE!

BabaIbo:
Thank you for even making my point (bolded) in your previous quote reasonable with your pictures.
Now compare the voters casted by the south eastern states in 2011 vs 2015.... from the pictures kindly compare the total votes casted for each year. Had it been there is any major crises that claimed over 3 million lives within 2011 and 2015?

FYI they were not happy and satisfied with the government of the day and that's the reason majority of them didn't comeout to vote.
I would have said maybe those people that didn't come out to vote where involved

if you do the calculation you will see that the difference between the two candidates is lower than the difference between the number of votes casted in 2011 and 2015 in south eastern region.

How many Southwestern states have over 1 million votes in 2011 and 2015?

P.S- I also don't like involving in tribal argument but the difference is in the pictures you posted

Good, why not let us do the %s? Also recall that 2015 saw the introduction of card readers and PVC.

Point 1 - Yorubas will not unite if the person is not from the South West. Well, 2011 results shows how this was untrue.

Point 2 - this is where I know the numbers may make the point not obvious but like I said earlier, despite the card readers, look at the %s and who was voted for. 2011 was widely distributed due to the candidates contesting but 2015 was Mr A vs Mr B.

Anyway, I hope we can both agree that election is just a number game. That x% voted for me does not mean they all spoke with one voice. It's data manipulation when some people try to ignore some little numbers too

TheKingIsHere:
I was pissed off when I saw one news that one of Abacha children wanted to contest for one post like that.

The children are the ones that will pay for the Father's sins.

Like it or not, Abacha is still revered especially in Kano. Go to Kano today 20 years after his death and you'll still see his signs. He remains a god there and I will not be surprised to see his produce win an election.

eezeribe:
Zenith bank with their very high counters...

Thank you for mentioning this. Most public buildings are designed without considering those with disabilities. Those who have to use crutches have consistently challenged Nigerian banks for failing to cater for them right from the security door which prevents them from gaining entrance.

I just hope beyond the prayers, there are actual emergency plans should such accident occur. Nigeria wasted the lives of its future leaders when a plane crashed at the PH airport but emergency rescue failed to save some of the victims. That's at the airport o not a bush or forest, airport!

Bash92:
Because people are giving up on the country. Some of those people who registered and did not go out to vote are of the opinion that no matter the candidate it will always be business as usual, so what is the essence of going out out to vote?
But in the North because of the poverty level, just give the Almajiris small change they will vote without hesitation

You're correct. Political consciousness may just be a sophisticated way of expressing opinions without actions. There is a realisation that numbers do the work and that's what matters with the results. Take a look at uncollected PVCs data released by INEC. It will tslus something too.

BabaIbo:
If you check 2015, Igbos didn't come out to vote like previous election and it affected his chance but most Yorubas can't unite and support their fellow southern candidate if the candidate is not their own person.

2015 election results.

BabaIbo:

Indeed. I normally don't respond to tribal stuff here because I know it's just a waste of time but please take a look at the 2011 election results.

Hope 93, USA 94!

renewa29. That talk of CCTV is doable but not actionable. Just like e-voting. Nigeria can easily do things like these but there's no willpower by the ruling class. The same corruption makes them doubt if someone will not tamper with e-voting or award contracts for fake CCTVs or simply make it not work. This thread is making me remember quite a lot. Recently, NSPMC guys were crying for them to be properly paid after serving the country but you ask yourself, why can Nigeria not produce ballot papers? The answer is obvious.

frankwyte:
One thing that was clear is the pattern of voting and numbers, the question how come now that Kano has more people voting than Lagos ? even the South had more voters than north then? What happened now This north has continued to make the South look foolish this days, except something urgent is done from we the South ......

Participating in elections now is an issue. Kwara did better than Lagos. Lagos has the population but when it comes to election day, it fizzles out. Even for recent governorship elections, check out the numbers. There's a lot of noise made but you don't see them on election day.

wildimagination:
These were the days when pple didn't vote for party, relegious or tribal sentiments.....just for the individual qualities.....cos I can see here Abiola won even in northern states though he was yoruba. Funny enuf, we had all tribes at that time.



But what happened to Nigeria??

Femi Falana said something recently. There's a deliberate attempt to rewrite history by some people due to partisan politics. Things like it's a Yoruba thing, it's for 2019, he was not a saint etc. History may have been tampered with in our schools and these malicious people may twist stories today to confuse the Y2K generation but there's YouTube. Let them go watch the Oputa Panel, watch interviews of his family, watch interviews of MKO himself.

MKO sacrificed his wealth and family just to SERVE NIGERIA and one Senator tells us that because he is dead, he's no longer a Nigerian May he not incur the wrath of our armed forces who put their lives on the line to defend the country. That's an example of the dangerous and silly game some are trying to play with the event. Such dangerous statements that can send the wrong signals to paramilitary guys that is Nigeria worth dying for since their citizenship can be doubted after death?

The 2019 elections is another one. OBJ (and PDP) had the opportunity and he was from the same state with MKO but his inactions silenced this - so those who try to divide us along partisan lines can see that even your brother may not be your bro. Like they say, truth has no hiding place no matter how long we hide it.

The politicians know that this single action is a big one but they failed to do same when they were in power. Politicians will always play with issues but whatever the intent was, PMB did the right thing

I am happy to see the conduct of the Abiola family in recent interviews. You still see them talking about national unity despite losing two members of their family for Nigeria's sake. Times like this is when I wish TELL could upload their archives!

ElsonMorali:
Sorry but you are not making much sense here. This June 12 thing is not about MKO.

It's about the stolen mandate of the people.

Whether MKO was a saint or not the fact remains that majority of Nigerians cast their votes for him and he was denied that mandate given to him by the people.

This is not an Abiola struggle, this is a Nigerian struggle.

Most of you were not born during this era so you will never understand the hope that particular election signified for Nigerians at that point in time.

Cindino20:
In addition to what the Op ve stated up there.


1. Try to visit Museums...The Louvre in Paris has alot of art works and use a guide to learn more about the art works. you did be amazed with the History behind each art work and it also depicts how pple ve lived in the past...their passion, their culture etc

2. Visit momuments and archeological sites if there is one around...Greece is a place for this if you love ancient History.

3. Go

Nice pictures you have there. They could pass for stock images. What did you use to snap them?

Don't blame Nigerians. They have been spoilt not to appreciate literature so the only kind of fun is partying, movies etc. The mention of museums to the average Nigerian is like a boring history class. If there is a successful attempt to change this, Nigerians will first visit Nigeria before anywhere else. Anyone that travels round Nigeria and has a little knowledge of history will appreciate Nigeria better. That way, they'll know more about the country and attract foreigners. It is the absence of these stories that makes it easy for politicians to divide us because we don't know ourselves, our places or heritage.

The foreigners will tell the story to suit their narrative. Little do we know that some history that emerged from Nigeria has been cut off because we don't care.

Abiola was recently given the GCFR award, Epetedo should be attracting visitors by now.

You guys should try and give people excuse, don't just jump into an absurd conclusion. I didn't notice what i typed has been automatic corrected. Apology for any inconveniences!

Hey. What is absurd is for you to come to this conclusion based on this quote. Your post was vague. Anyway MicroSweet seems to have decoded your message successfully.

It's alright.

Hi all,

I received a message (code) from true caller this morning and I have not initiated any true caller registration. I am afraid of being spammed. Am I saved?

We cannot say for sure if you're being spammed or not because this message is vague. Not so much details.

Let's b safe from ur grammar first

Is it sarcasm that you're writing in shorthand

The Professor has learned so well from his Governor in SERVING the people. Truth is, like him or hate him, Fayose plays this well. I will be surprised if his anointed one doesn't start sooner or later. It is a personality thing; it's not everyone that is personable so sooner or later, the bottle will crack. Our leaders are like celebrities because they do not give access to the electorate and behave like gods. Fayose has capitalised on this misnomer and whatever the issue is, the people find it easier to connect with him.


For the average Ekiti person, I expect these politicians to pound yam or dem no get power reach? ��

Ezyp:
I think seun should consider WhatsApp number instead of YIM

Nairaland does not encourage publishing of phone numbers. It's just a phase. When Nairaland started, Hi5 would have been included but YIM was indeed the foundation for all the IM services we have today. From the pinging to the emoticon and all that.

I used to look forward to logging in and seeing messages that had been dropped by contacts.

This guy was shown the way out when Korea hosted the Winter Olympics. He may make good money from being a KJU that can be touched or people can access but he should watch it. North Korea is not into nuclear weapons for nothing. If he becomes more famous than necessary... I WILL STOP HERE.

There was terror Anytime I want to laugh, I just read these bloggers and lol @ their fancy for exaggerated reporting.

I can't see any cat burnt. Dem no fit try am make the owner of the car try them.

On a serious note, this is man's inhumanity to animals especially domestic ones.



"The scene then attracted passers by and residents to come to the rescue and they successfully killed it."

This part alone shows how ignorant the people are. There was no success in killing it, there was only success in people thinking they had killed a perceived enemy. I wish there was someone helpful that could rescue the cat. Shame to human beings. At least in all the stories they have been told, the witch should have died as a human being not a cat.
