The sound clip is from one of those scam baiter websites. 

Even if the photo isn't real, the conversation is, I've heard similar ones in the past. And yes, Naija boys CAN be that stupid.  When they get greedy and the victim flips the game, they get played.  Boy do they hate that. I've heard worse though.

Cipriani:
Information reaching me states that Crystal Service are having a management meeting presently. I was informed that a doctor was apprehended by EFCC on forging some yellow papers for medical reports. To all applicants who still have high hopes, don't switch off your phone. I was told text messages would be sent to legible applicants and they should just come with their luggage to whatever location they have been asked to come. From there, it is straight to Manitoba in Canada. No more child's play.

Cipriani:
Passports are already in Canada, the government there is just waiting for the applicants.

First, if the passports are already in Canada, how will the applicants manage to leave the country without them, especially if they're stopping off in Dubai (or is that not happening anymore)?

Second, what will happen to the passports of those who applied but were not successful?

Third, who was responsible for arranging applicants to go to the National Theatre for whatever exercise it was supposed to be?

Cipriani:
There was no way I could have helped the situation. I never encouraged  the scammers and I never pretended to sit on the fence. Many applicants were proving to me it was genuine and I helped share their views. I categorically stated that if anyone had tangible information to prove it was a sham, then they should come forward. I went to Crystal Service myself on Tuesday when CanImServ said he was going to be there. I wanted to witness the outcome firsthand. But he gave one excuse or the other for not acting as he had proposed. I was there  to support him to actually find out the truth. Everyone that claimed it was sham did so from a logical angle.

You didn't quite sit on the fence:

@Ogbuduyeke

This is genuine and real. It is only for those who can take the risk.

Cipriani:
I never at one point asked anyone to go to Canadian Embassy. I only said people with tangible information and evidences should come forward. Don't misquote me.  

Uhm, does the bit in bold below count as a misquote?:

Again, this is a scam. The Canadian govt is not involved in this rubbish.

Quote from: claremont on July 12, 2011
So the Canadian government are involved in this, are they?! That shouldn't be hard to verify, simply provide us with a link to a Canadian government official webpage where they specifically mentioned that they will sponsor 7000 Nigerians to Canada. There must be a web link somewhere!


Quote from: Fogman on July 12, 2011
Is this a special arrangement for Nigerians? Or what do we call this program? Canadian green card or what. I was informed that the program is for 2 years and my question is what kind of visa will be issued to them. Because i know that you can not work with a temporary visitor visa and work visa cant be issue to them cos every Dtick Tom and Harry applied for it. Skilled and unskilled

Quote from: Cipriani on July 12 July, 2011
Note The Canadian govt is not involved directly. But they are aware of the program. They are not sponsoring anything. Besides, you guys should know where the embassy is located, feel free to walk in and ask your questions there. Programs like this are always hard for thomases like you to believe, most especially because its happening in Nigeria where we have all turn ourselves to spammers. People don't just want to believe anything anymore, even if it is the truth.

Go to the embassy and ask for more information as a learned person. Whatever your findings are, feel free to post them here. Even, when people start leaving, some people will still never believe.

Similar to obowunmi and Richvkunt, what is it with the insults and abuse?  So often a reasonable thread gets derailed because two people decide to become personal and curse each other back to their ancestors and forward to their progeny. Not good.

What sort of things is your father interested in? Or, how about getting him an "experience" i.e. arrange for him to visit somewhere he hasn't visited before or been to since he was a child?

If there is a threat of violence, or to the life and the wellbeing of the occupants then yes. If it's just a loud domestic argument, then no.

obowunmi:
Only a foolish woman will claim that she doesn't want to marry a Pastor. Do you know how much tax-free income you can make ? You can write useless books and sell them to people, Nigerians will buy it. You can manipulate people ?! You can convince people now to speak against you because god says "touch not my annoited." The people responding here, just wouldn't know what to do with power when they have it.

Pastors have power and can control the masses with their power. You can buy private jets, a new house, cars, and amass wealth on earth under the name of "God."

Most people on this thread are referring to marrying an honest man who chooses spirituality over anything else. Otherwise, most pastors in Nigeria are materialistic goons. Not sure why any woman would turn the opportunity down.

You had me laughing today, especially your first paragraph "touch not my anointed" lol.

@ OP if I had to marry a pastor it would definitely not be a Nigerian type of pastor - I subscribe to obowunmi's bold above.  On the other hand, if the person you marry feels called to be a pastor, that's another matter altogether.

I think he's so happy about the first one he's planning waaaay ahead of himself.

As Jenny said, sit him down in his excitement, and tell him exactly what you've said in this thread.

[auote author=chines4]
Well u'r relationship is kind of complicated. One you don't admit cheating on your wife, never ever. Even if your caught pant down. Why did she break up with her ex, maybe she is not u'r best friend, as in you don't communicate well. She may need someone to talk to, or someone that listens to her. My wife ex's still calls her, and I don't get bothered, after all she had the chance of marrying them, but she married me. Beside I trust my wife[quote][/quote]You are a rarity, not many men are that secure and trusting.  If that ex is like a brother or sister and nothing more, it's hard to convince a spouse who sees the other person as a threat.

While some people may keep the ex around "in case of emergencies", not everyone does.  

@OP I cannot guess at the kind of relationship your wife has with her ex. Maybe your own affair and guilty conscience are reading things into it. Only you and your wife know the real deal.

Let me see: guy goes to club, spends N300k.  Guy then ends up with girlfriend demanding money and things from him.  Am I the only one who doesn't see the relationship here?

If you want to know if a girl truly loves you, don't flash anything, don't buy recharge card, new phone, clothes, jewellery, gifts.  Wear the same few clothes, if she's lucky you'll take her to Mr Biggs or a Mamaput on a date.  If you're a woman and you want to know if he truly cares and  you're not one of his knock-offs, don't ask him for anything, refuse his gifts, don't sleep with him.  Then you will know who you are dealing with.

Many men don't know what they want, they want to have their cake and eat it; show off, flash cash and then claim the woman is money hungry.  Likewise many women want their boyfriend to act like their Mama and Papa and provide for their every need even when they have their own money and will sell their "love" to the highest bidder all for money.  The latter is known as prostitution.  They both deserve each other.

Sadly this does not seem to be about the sick sibling who has made her request known, nor her distraught children who will be losing their mother, but the demands of her siblings who are far removed from the situation, who's contribution is their demands be met. Selfish but not surprising.

If "senior" managers can sell an entire N500m power plant right under their noses, it only goes to show how incompetent the powers that be at PHCN are.

The heavens will not fall, nothing significant will happen and there will be no fire come next Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.

@Setto101 - let's wait and see what happens.

ogundokun:
even if CS pogram is real before with the issue of fake medical report on ground coupled with bunch of illiterate applicants the whole things is in a mess. Canada needs highly skilled or semi-skilled people and not waste products like majority of the CS applicants. Manitoba Nigeria. Even Jonathan can  not sponsor 5000 to work in canada for to years. My people parish for lack of knowledge

CS are doing themselves a disservice by letting this whole thing get messy - it does not look good on them if they are running a legitimate organisation.

Did they turned away applicants who didn't qualify?  Did they continue to sell application forms even after they had made their decision about who was going from the existing applicants?

You've posted this 8 times in as many days. Is it because enough people haven't responded to the first post?

Do we really mean privacy or is it another word for personal space?

There are very very few things in marriage that should be kept private, but personal space, I would say both need it at some point.

Are Nigerian Christians so weak that they lack discernment and must always seek "spiritual intervention"? And why is it that none of these prophecies are positive, and always have to do with death?

@OP - do you believe everything presented to you as a "prophecy" true?

Learning more than one language isn't difficult for children, it's the adults who get confused 

I have a friend who grew up speaking English, Swahili and German (went to a German-speaking school).  She said when they were little, she and her sisters would speak to each other in German when playing, and her English grandparents hated it!

What I've never understood is how Chinese children can speak their parents language, as can Indian and Pakistani children in Europe and North America.  Yet most African children cannot fluently speak their parents language unless their parents send them to lessons.  Why is it so hard for us to teach our children our languages?

plappville:
I cant remember the chapter in the bible but it says
A man and a woman will come together and they become one, une, un, okpa, ovo, daya etc. Some1 can plz help me complete.
@op its not realy the answer, as u can see not every1 care to get married.

But the passage doesn't say "marriage should be for everyone, according to God's plan for man".  The passage you're referring to (Matthew 19) also talks about divorce and ends with "For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven."  Even Jesus was aware that marriage isn't for everyone.

@ OP Marriage isn't for everyone, and it is not compulsory for "everyone" to marry.  Language has nothing to do with it - people who speak different languages and from different cultures get married all the time.  Cross-cultural marriages do require an open mind, sensitivity and open communication, not assuming that "love will conquer all".

Deep Soul:
I dont think the poster meant "language"literally eg chinese or arabic.
Language here is most likely meant to be communication style(s)

@OP
Yes! Marriage should be for everyone, according to God's plan for man.

Dodgy theology - where in the bible does it say this?

collinsfbi:
I can see you have notin reasonable to contribute rather than to create confusion. Is the use of “Evidence” as used in the above context be considered as HOMONYM? Why are you trying to twist my word to fight me? Why should I file a case against Crystal Service when i am not one of his applicants? The only thing i can do is to speak the truth and reveal the evil behind their program. Even if Crystal Service successfully secured visas for the 20 applicants as claimed by his adherents, does that make them a good agent because i will be the first to ask what has happened to other thousand applicants. Why can you pple reason for crying out loud? All what most of you come here to do is to look for someone to trade words with, instead of trying as much as possible to save pple from falling victim of dubious agent like Crystal Service. If you don’t know then let me tell you, Crystal Service is still selling applicant forms after they have once announced the closure of their application. I can say it again and again, I have evidences against them and my evidences are human precisely some of Crystal Service applicants. If you want to fight a good fight then go out and make findings and don’t wait until I will sue Crystal Service on your behalf. Fight a good fight and justify being a good Nigerian.


Gbammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm over and out

I'm not here to contend with you and  your fight is not with me.  Don't lose focus.

I prefer radio to TV - TV demands too much attention and the ability to sit still for long periods of time.

By the way, which radio station is Wetin Dey on?

collinsfbi:
What case are you talking about? I don't have any case with anybody. I only appreciate good work and fight evil on NL and i have various ways of carrying out my research. So pls do your own research on Crystal Service and file a case against them and speak from your own perspective and not collinsfbi.


Gbammmmmmmmmmmm over and out

Oh dear. . .ok my bro, let me refresh your memory.  This was your response(post no. 502) to Cipriani (post no. 495):

collinsfbi: You are not the type i can trade words with because you can't see beyond your nose. For your information, many pple paraded themselves as representatives of Crystal Service using the avenue to dupe pple. One of the so called representatives of crystal service is one Mr Chukwu Alex with the
Account Name: Chukwu Alex, E.
Account Number: 0016391243 GTBank (Address and mobile contact no withheld). He also has a in the name of ACS TRAVEL AND TRENDS
If i am wrong then answer the following question:
*Why do some applicants pay 70k for medical while some pay 50k plus?
*Why do some pple receive bogus sms of taking pictures, meetings and departure date while some never receive anytin?
*If you want me to provide more evidence then i will appreciate as many applicants as possible to provide their own visa evidence they get from Crystal Service?
Obviously you far beyond the truth and your tongue is full of deception.

Now whether that is evidence/a case against the agent in question or Crystal is not for me to speculate.  Above are your words.  I would not pretend to speak for you or anyone else. My comments were directed to Cipriani and I have said my own.  If you want to fight with someone, let it be with regards to the issues you raised, not my comments, otherwise you're boxing shadows.

fslanre:
Hello
I am using this medium to say a big well done job for Crystal service.My question is that are we still online with 11th and 12th as they said?

If Crystal are doing such a "well done job" then maybe you should be telling everyone else whether the 11/12th is "still online".

paulfelix3:
Thank Your Mr Kenny for Telling The bleeping animal called Justuseless or Justupid,  hes an enermy of sucess and hes bad and full of hatred and he wants all his black brothers to be in Thai jail. what a wicked soul are You Justwise or juststupid. May God Have mercy On Your soul. You are proud of black americans why dont even Know Your filty black monkey Bottom. even The black americans dont believe There are africans cause if They do, They wont be calling there selves black americans instead of black africans,  i wish all Nigerians Goodluck and sucess in The Nation of Thailand and i wish them happy life too.

Point of correction: Far be it for me to give you a history lesson, but the correct format is African American not Black American.

They could simply post their queries on the forum or start a thread without having to telephone anyone. Heck, if you wanna know anything, ask me!

ezeagu:
Another problem Western interference caused. People used to be buried within two days. The extended burial and even how the burials are done nowadays have absolutely nothing to do with any culture indigenous to Nigeria.

Western interference never dictated waiting three months after someone's death to bury them. Neither does Western influence reach to the after-funeral owambe and souvenirs. If anything it goes to show Africans tendency to over-exaggerate another culture's style.

akinbimatt:
@tunde,i know about that,but i can tell u right now that several people have travelled with those passport before nigerians spoil everything and turn it to business,expecially the nsk,lots travel with it in 2008.and even the conch,people in egypt are still travelin with it coz their embassy is there

Do you personally know anyone who has travelled abroad with a Conch Republic passport?

Desperation is what makes some Nigerians take this as a legitimate passport and visa; it has never been recognised by any country as a legitimate travel document.

@ OP I don't get it.  Some man is "stalking" you and your boyfriend only just got wind of it?  I can't blame him for being suspicious as you haven't handled this in a sensible way.

You are not serious about getting rid of this guy.  If you were remotely serious about your boyfriend you should be telling him everything about the other guy - that way he would know what to do when he saw the FB posts and pictures on your phone and wouldn't be asking you questions.   Is your "stalker" a friend on FB?  Why don't you remove him and block him if you aren't interested?

This is not "toasting", this is stupidity.  You need either male family or your boyfriend to deflect this guy.  No more taking his calls, or calls from any number you don't recognise.   If he calls and your boyfriend is around, get him to answer your phone.  It is not rocket science: the more you give his "toasting" attention, the more he feels you are interested in him.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the husband met another woman and got her pregnant? Never-ending drama.

[quote author=big_sean link=topic=745500.msg9041344#msg9041344 date=1314716973]I dont see anything wrong in what @Omicpet has said.
Yes maybe by saying the "death of Nokia" was a little "hyperbolic" but we all should understand what he is saying.
And what he's saying is true. (that is nokia is losing if they haven't already lost the phone battle)
Because u dont know something doesn't mean it is not happening or it's not true, "trust me, what u dont know can really hurt u "
Nokia's rapid decline in phone market share is alarming, yes they may actually have the best hardware (in my opinion), but BB, android and Iphone have got nokia eating dust way behind them when it comes to OS platform.
permit me to kindly attach a survey that is atleast 12months old (maybe older) on the profit shares on 8 phones companies and u be the Judge.[/quote]Again a lot of what is being said about Nokia seems to be speculation. Is it that hard to cite the source - or a source - this information is coming from?

I've seen the iPhone 3 and 4. Played with them even (my cousin has 4). It doesn't really get my attention.

Yeah it looks nice and sleek, good looking apps etc but I can't justify shelling out for one. I'm old fashioned, I don't believe in using my phone as an MP3 player, I've always separated the two(and no, never owned an iPod).

One of my problems is with iTunes. I just don't like any software on my system that I have to process everything through.
