bashr8: we dont have proof that she did such , her aide denied it and claimed they folowed the federal character process, until it is confirmed she remains innocent , meanwhile we just found out the the agency have dominated by yorubas all this while and people that were supposed to promoted for a long time where not.

What do you want her Aide to say before? Or you want the Aide to be shown the door as well? You know this is Nigeria and that his how those under Public officers behave wrt to their bosses. Some even go as far as telling lies.I have been following your stand all these while and I see that you do not seem to care maybe or not it is true or false. You seem to be more concerned about the tussle for Tribal dominance irrespective of whether the the process is due or not. Let me not speak for you.What will your stand be if the allegations are true?

afam4eva: I guess it's ok if a ministry is flooded with Northerners and south-westerners but it's a crime if south-easterners dominate a ministry. I'm totally against nepotism and favoritism in the civil service but i see hypocrisy at play here. I wonder how many ministries south-easterners dominate. Go to other ministries and tell me which region dominate.

You are being biased.So, because some Ministries have a larger dominance of some tribes is enough reasons for her to start sacking people unjustly and then put people of her tribe there? The possibility of favourism cannot be ruled out in Nigeria but there is need for a common sense and conscience in doing such.If it were an open recruitment and a lot of persons from several tribes are qualified and she uses a bit of tribal sentiments, people wouldn't have raised much eyebrow but filling the available spots with some incompetent people is not good enough.

Why did she sack the GMs even without a tangible reason(s). I guess it is because they earn a huge salary which she needs a share of by putting people she knows under the guise of doing them a favour. This is a total abuse of power! The woman looks so gentle and was sheding some crocodile tears during that Dana crash. I never knew she was this heartless.

abiL: A dissertation without a qualification!

. The qualification will be awarded after the dissertation.If my dissertation is good, I will get the qualification and a certificate.lolz.

Idowuogbo: U cut wot by 75%? U joking rite? Dude! wot u posted up dia is wot we Americanos and briticos call Dissertation.

. I ain't joking. That was just a summary.lolz.

abiL: CREATE YOUR OWN THREAD!!

Must you write an essay?!

Nairalanders don't read much.They will just label such post as story story.I even cut the one I wrote here by about 75%.The best thing is always to have a personal experience. A theory will only give one an insight.

sanb: @naturalwaves

spot on....

Tnx dear.

Nice try OP but that won't work all the time.What leads to the request for the email addy in the first place? That's where a bulk of the work is. As for me, I don't ask for numbers or anything,they do the asking. How? According to research, the best opening line of all time is the word 'HI' and every other thing follows.The time frame one has to get the number will determine the type of approach. In some cases, u got to do so in 10 minutes or less. In some other cases, you have more time.I tell you something, irrespective of the time frame and the approach to be decided upon, the most important thing is to work on oneself first of all. It is very important to be an all round person or at least try to by being well grounded in Entertainment, Politics, Fashion, Feminine stuffs, Geography,Sports,Feminine stuffs, Philosophy,Psychology, Health etc just to mention a few. A surface reading of all these and more is usually okay. A good sense of humour is very important as well.When you combine the in-built knowledge with a good approach,you will have no problem.





The type of approach to be used depends on a whole lot of factors from the environment to the atmosphere to the type of lady(the way she is dressed,walks,etc), the amount of time you have.There are several approaches which are just too numerous to mention and explain in this space (PM me for more info.lolz).There is a very important need to be highly OBSERVANT before the/ an approach style is used.




Lest I forget,you must learn or practice how to use HANGERS(my personal name for a method).Hangers are very very important. What is a hanger? A hanger is an incomplete story or an incomplete information. Ladies are generally curious, they like to know the end of most things.Using several hangers while communicating will only increase their curiosity and when they start asking questions, the deed is done. Infact,you can then bring your knowledge on the subject matter to the fore again as well as a sense of humour.If you make use of the hanger effectively and you tell a lady that, "oh,sorry, I got to go now".I bet, she will request for your contact without you asking. You will hear something like "So, how do I .............?(A hanger gave birth to this question). Let me have your contacts so I can........". You give it to her, tell her to beep you, wait till your phone rings and tell her you got it. Shikena!!! Even if she doesn't call lateron and you do the calling, she would be very happy to hear from you and the rest follows. THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS METHOD IS THAT, YOU MAKE HER FEEL SHE NEEDS YOU MORE THAN YOU DO TO HER.NEVER NEVER NEVER APPEAR DESPERATE.
Note: It is not compulsory to end with a hanger all the time. You can ask for her number as well when you are ready to go once a good communication has been maintained.




In all, A GOOD APPROACH opens the floor for a conversation. A GOOD GRASP AND COMMAND OF GENERAL KNOWLEDGE + A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR carries you through the conversation.Ability to make good use of HANGERS does the final magic.





#Remember to dress well, speak well and do not forget the best opening line of all which is a simple and harmless "Hi"# Cheers!!!!!

[quote author=truelove.com]yeah ,your right.…have you listened to "Go down" by dbanj, its like a party song. but the song na nonsense....i just pray his album make's it , cos the way am seeing things, i dont think it would sell up to a million copies.[/quote]Lolz. Yeah, U're right but U know it is not everytime one gets it cos that's our human nature. One get it right at times and wrong at other times. The most important thing is for the positive to outway the negative. Even when Dbanj released his ENTERTAINER albulm, he said he just hope people will like it that as an Artiste, one cannot even tell what song will / should be a hit.I tell you, when you see some hit songs, you will be so amazed and ask how did this hit? At other times, you will see some other songs with wonderful, serious lyrics, composition etc and wonder why such didn't hit. In all, D'banj has performed above par at least to a 70% level.

^^^Exactly! Lolz @ HD games ko, HD games ni.

ITbomb: OMG , this is the most serious trash I ve ever seen on a sunday evening.

That was really a nonsense.The OP has even accused God wrongly of what he knows nothing about.

[quote author=truelove.com]Bro's i respect dbanj for so many reasons ,but his last songs are not good.…i know that 2face is not better than dbanj[/quote]Dbanj's latest effort alone was OYATO and it wasn't that bad. One thing you should realise is that it was never done to get you grooving or dancing. The song (OYATO) was just released to pass on a message that he (Dbanj) is different, still relevant and will continue doing what he knows how to do best. Trust D'banj, his albulm should come out soon. Moreover,he has nothing to prove to anyone again having sang in about 38 songs from 2004-2012 with several monster hits, so, an UNLIKELY decline in his music career should be no big deal as no one can reign forever. People go, people come. Musicians go, new ones come. The most important thing is to use one's time well. Is D'banj using his time well? If you ask me, I will say A BIG YES to that.

I think the Op is da.ft. Where in the news did Action Congress of Nigeria vow to challenge the result? He even posted some laughable pics which showed his biased stand.They never said the election was rigged. There is nothing bad in trying to scrutinize the outcome of an election. If Mimiko, Oshiomole and the rest hadn't scrutinized previous elections, they wouldn't have discovered the loop holes and then challenge the credibility of the previous elections. Although, this election seems free and fair, it not bad to study the process and results.



Away from that, the PDP didn't perform badly atall to have pulled 155k + votes. What this means is that a sizeable amout of the populase believes the reign of the PDP was better in the state.

As for the A.CN, 143k + is not bad atall for a party that has never been tested in that state.


It is obvious that Ondo state is not yet ready for modern development and transformation. An ABIYE health program and building of markets was enough to return the Governor. This State is really really lagging behind.Mimiko was quick to spot that and really capitalized on it by banking on rural projects. Congrats to Mimiko!

[quote author=truelove.com]yeah, 2face na big time flop . but at list him songs ,don better pass dbanj "oyato"[/quote]Please,leave Dbanj out of this. How can you be comparing a current Mtv base Best African Act award winner to someone that's trying to keep up? Dbanj is on a class of his own AT THE MOMENT.

ORAFA: 2face lost N40million to MISMANAGEMENT at his studio, not because of poor music. It seems sum of u 2face critics are to used to traditional music sang at the various local pubs or taverns in ur village. 2face renders VERY GOOD music.

What do you mean by mismanagement in his studios? What sort of studio mismanagement will make one lose 40 million naira? If he had lost such a big amount to the so called studio mismanagement, a good albulm sales would have at least made up for it. Unfortunately, that albulm was a big flop. It might not have even sold up to 50,000 copies. My friends that have the albulm didn't buy it, they were dashed.

Pastor Sam Adeyemi....Good analytical ability
TB Joshua....makes the bible simple
Tunde Bakare......Brilliant!


@OP, it is "IMPART" and not "IMPACT". The latter is a noun and refers basically to physical contacts.We could say man's impact(noun) on the environment as well as an E.g. In the context of this thread, IMPART is the right word to use.

[quote author=truelove.com]Which hot song wey 2face don realise since him comot kennis music? Almost all the songs na flop, apart from implication, rain drops and ihe neme . Besides his album hasn't sold up to a million copies since he left kennis.[/quote]A million copies? I don't think his Hypertech albulm sold up to 100,000 copies. Tuface said he lost 40 million plus.

Padi Padi is always too much at the Headies or whatever. That is why Dbanj, Psquare, Weird MC and co stopped attending in the past.I am very sure Dbanj wasn't there to collect the award. If Psquare went then they must have specially begged them to attend. What song won Wande Coal the best vocal award? Or they just gave it to him cos of his natural voice. How can Wizkid be the Revelation of the year?

^^^@Jarus, so, this is where you are hiding. You posted something you could not defend in the other thread that last time about Prof. Gabriel Oyibo and then absconded. Well done! Dem don dey find you for there o.

I do not know what the most complex thing is but one complex thing I know of is WOMEN- Naturalwaves.

[/quote] Very funny! Okay, don't worry, February is just nearby.

@OP, please read the points raised below carefully and attend to them as appropriately as you can if you feel otherwise.
[quote author=chima-uga]SEX SEX SEX!
Unlike what many people think, its not just an act. Its not just a pleasure thing.

Believe me "sex" is a covenant. Believe me "sex" is binding. Whatever the world,the society,the devil and friends must have said to u about sex, know
one thing today that there is a blood covenant that is share during sex, its spiritual & most people are not aware of it.[/quote]The above argument means that s.ex goes beyond the physical and that it is spiritual. According to what you said, what makes it spiritual is the inter-mixed blood and fluid which you term as a COVENANT.

[quote author=chima-uga]When u sleep with anyone,your are binded and a covenant is entered into unknowingly. If u sleep with a possessed person or cursed person, u have shared in that curse,its a FACT. If u sleep with someone who belongs to an occult,u are initiated automatically and they will begin to act in your
life, knowingly to u or unknowingly to u.[/quote]By the first argument, the reason for the binding and covenant up here is the blood/ fluid exchange during s.ex. What this means, according to your argument is that, there cannot be a binding or covenant without a blood exchange that occurs during se.x.

The question is, what if there was no exchange of fluid/ blood by using condoms? In the olden days, there was no such thing as condoms hence, facilitating the exchange. Imagine what the effect of HIV/AIDS would be like without condoms, a direct exchange of the disease and other STDs. Except if you meant that the exchange of blood is independently and totally spiritual and not physical then spiritual. If this is the case, your post is null because it will be that one could get into a covenant even when a cursed person touches one.


Moreover, you said when one sleeps with a cursed person or a person that has other bad things, one get those things as well due to the covenant nature of se.x. By this argument, one should be blessed when one sleeps with a blessed person as well. The question is, how do we now determine who is blessed and who is cursed?


[quote author=chima-uga]Its important u watch who u give your body to.Its not just about sex. Destinies are switched, life's are cut short, people become wayward and keeps
going, others become agents against their own family unknowingly.[/quote]The argument above says that, due to the different switches of destinies, curse etc that occur during s.ex, we should watch carefully before we give our bodies to someone. So, you are not against having s.ex with anyone. The keyword is to watch carefully. Hmmmmm

Since, there is always a destiny switch, when one sleeps with one's wife, there is a switch. In other words, a husband will share all the ancestral curses on his wife and vice- versa if there is.Do married people enjoy a special immunity to such exchange of destinies that you claim or they get it as well?

[quote author=chima-uga]The bible says "no ye not that whom ever gives his body to a p.rostitute has become one with her" Be careful,your problem is within u. Sex is more spiritual than physical..[/quote]How can you explain the above statement ? What does it mean to be one with someone? Do you know that you can be one with someone in different ways. It could be physically, mentally, culturally, as a team, morally etc. What if the oneness referred to was just to say, "you become birds of a feather" from a moral stance?




When I saw some people label your post as rubbish, I was not surprised cos you failed to do a thorough work before pasting this.This is Nairaland and not Dummyland. You cannot post just anything and expect everyone to just swallow it particularly when such post is devoid of relevant and well structured facts to back it up.I will suggest you go back to your bible and pastor and ask for a proper explanation before you post or ask God for a proper understanding.


Don't get me wrong, I am very much against pre marital sex. I am an advocate of TOTAL ABSTINENCE but claiming there is a covenant to sex.ual relationship based on the points raised by the you (the OP) is an invalid argument. Maybe, if I see a better explanation to it, I might agree.




A lil advice for guys, if you cannot wait till the right time, use protection e.g condoms to avoid an exchange of blood/ fluid and NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER you leave a used condom with anyone particularly strangers like wh.ores so that your fluid will not be retrieved and used for evil purposes. It is well!

.....

paris10: Aren't you taught that being honoured a doctorate degree has nothing to do with going to school? You don't even need to have an SSCE or WAEC to get one.

If you want one, you have to be a celebrity, and pay for it as well.

Not all Honorary degrees are usually paid for. Okay? And you do not necessarily need to be a Celebrity to get one.It is sometimes given to those who have distinguished themselves in their fields of endervour as well. Some people have the authentic Phd degree as well as several Honorary degrees. Although,some politicians in Nigeria may pay for it, it is not to say that one must pay for it.


@OP, change that header to 'Honorary' Doctorate degree and use 'honorary' in the right places as well in the news. A Phd degree no be beans o, so, the type of Doctorate degree neeeds to be specified when appropriate.

semid4lyfe: True but Yaya Toure, Cheick Tiote and other midfielders don't have Mikel's game controlling ability.

When Mikel plays, he really plays and is incomparable with any other midfielder.

Honestly speaking, Mikel's talent is so so amazing. Despite the fact that he shared the midfield with inexperienced players in that game against Liberia, he still patched everything together. I love his tailor made, well measured killer passes like the long range up through pass he sent to one of the strikers(not Victor,Musa,IK) during that game all the way from midfield but the striker was so surprised that he couldn't handle the ball.lolz. I guess he is not used to such passes.Even the aerial pass he gave to Victor Moses for that header wasn't an ordinary cross, it was an aerial through ball in which the ball would have descended and would be right in front of the player's head.There is no basis for comparing Mikel to Yaya Toure and co cos their style of play is totally different.I believe if our Midfield is very potent, Nigeria should go far. We have strikers that can do the damage. My other fear is the defence.

Nice analysis!

What a Corporate fraud!

This thread is just too childish. Is the OP a teenager? I mean, just look at the topic.......FOR ALL THOSE SAYING SAMSUNG AREN'T COPYING APPLE......Childish stuff. This is what Hon Patrick would describe as JOBLESS JOBLESSNESS.

That Lagos state Police PRO, Mrs Ngozi Braide is a bloody liar and her attitude is so disgusting. There is nothing on earth that she would have heard of, she is always claiming she is unaware of even the most basic and well circulated info. Is that the dictate of her Profession? RUBBISH!!!!!!!!

exxell: Who is AY?

A man that likes to call a spade a spade by saying the truth but unfortunately, most people hate the truth in Nigeria as Truth, they say, is bitter.

Jarus: Gabriel Oyibo is another intellectual fraud like Emegwali. I should be proud of him, attending same secondary school, but hey.

Can you pls shed more light on this ambiguous statement of yours?

I see you have checked the net and you have read that report by Sahara reporters saying both of them are intellectual 419s simply based on the fact that Emeagwali claims to have 41 patents though unpublished and there is another report that Gabriel Onyibo was nominated 4 times for the nobel prize in Physics. The said reporter contacted the Organisers of the awards and was told that they do not reveal a list of the nominees and it is only after 50 years after the award that one can know who the nominees were . It was so glaring from the writer's report that he is so pained by the fact that Gabriel's image was put on Nigeria's postal stamp in 2005/2006. The jealous writer was even so angry at the way both great men are so so respected and honoured. It was purely beef instinct and jealousy.


Infact, how does those claims translate to being an intellectual fraud? An intellectual fraud should be when one steals other people's idea and claim to be one's while using such ideas to gain fame, promotion, respect, recognition etc and not when one does a mild hyping or ego boosting. It was a pity to see that you only read the article in a biased way. You couldn't even notice the degrading intents of the writer.


See, nothing can change the fact that both Phillip Emeagwali and Gabriel Oyibo are gifted and anointed scholars, two of the finests to ever emerge from this continent called Africa.


If I may ask, do you know that Prof. Oyinbo has proved that, BY THE DEFINITION OF AN ELEMENT, ONLY HYDROGEN DESERVES TO BE CALLED AN ELEMENT? Trust the whites, they know better now but they are so ashamed to say and admit that what they initially propounded was wrong.



#Let us learn to give honour to whom it is due#


Here is a link to the senseless article

http://mobile.saharareporters.com/article/intellectual-419-philip-emeagwali-and-gabriel-oyibo-compared


And here is a good response by a reader to the nonsense that was written;

Following the Emeagwali article in which Oyibo was mentioned, I had requested that SR produce evidence linking Prof Oyibo to intellectual fraud.
I had expected something in the nature of plagiarism, claims of nonexistent qualifications and publications etc. I am really shocked that Prof Oyibo has published so extensively. In an attempt to diminish the value of his intellectual achievements, you claim that though records show he has 104 publications, Zentrallblat and Nova Journal of Maths published about ten, and thus, the others were not in recognised journals!
You people really frightening! Prof Oyibo is a mathematician, and I am sure he could publish in other science journals apart from mathematics. Does that mean that those other journals are not recognised because they are not mathematical journals? Does it mean that those publications cease to be Oyibo's just because they appeared in non-mathematical journals?
You claimed Prof Oyibo is now jobless, but in one of the links you provided, you actually admit that he is now a Professor in a "minor" university! I am sure you know what it takes to establish a university. It may not be an Ivy League, but does that make it any less a university? Does that disqualify its academic staff from regarding their tenures as jobs? This is very disgraceful!
I am not surprised therefore that you guys at SR are having a herculean task producing such evidence to back your allegations that Oyibo is an intellectual fraud, because non exists.
If Prof Oyibo has health problems (psychiatric)as you subtely suggest, is it new? Is he the first academic to suffer such problems? What is your motive? what do you hope to achieve by trying to tarnis the guy's image? If you have an ax to grind with the man why not do so without trying to impugn his academic credentials or is this pure envy as I suspected from day one when SR published the Emeagwali article and mentioned Prof Oyibo?
Since when did it become a crime to make scientific claims? Claims had always been made and will continue to be made - such claims are either confirmed or debunked by subsequent research. I am not a scientist, but that is the whole essence of scholarship; that's how the frontiers of knowledge constsantly expands, boundaries are pushed, some times from seemingly "absurd" claims.
And did you say Professor Oyibo just made a new discovery?
NB: If you want your head on a Nigerian postage stamp then go make your own discoveries or outrageous claims too.

walexydon: a filled lorry crossing a bridge with less than 10m to destination meets a cross bar,
for some reasons he cant reverse, how does the lorry make it pass the crossbar without a scratch on both lorry and crossbar

NB; the lorry is just 2inches longer than the crossbar.

The lorry will pass under the crossbar?

Awake9ja: Anybody who says that fashola is right is really not honest. Sincerely speaking let's turn the table the other way, "what if that statement is coming out from babangida or sarduana of sokoto " will my bros from the west ever blv it's right.

Fashola is totally wrong and obi with Clark is right to me:
1) how do you teach people morality without a moral law?
2) how long do you think it going to take us to change the mentality of our people? So do we expect people to wait till then before there will be equality and equity?
3)


Agreed with obi and Clark:
1) two can never work together unless they agree, which is mutual understanding. We need it first above every other thing.
2) the amendment is very much necessary to build fairness and equity.
3) we need to make a law that takes away immunity.
4) laws has two face
a) what one must not do or face the punishment if you do it,
b) what you must do and the benefit of obeying it.
5) law will help to curtail the excesses of any religion and tribe, and will empower the government to punish any that breaks it without fear or favor.
6) we need that law to end superior vs inferior mentality in our soiety.
7) it will encourage patriotism without suspicions .
then we shall have the oneness we have been looking for .
9) make every region equal state or do away with states and let us have only six regions so that people will feel secure and not been marginalized .

Conclusion:
What fashola is saying makes us more vulnerable than ever.
Tell me who may build a house with out a foundation .

You made some very good points but let me quickly say that, those who say Fashola is right only said that based on their personal analysis with respect to the issue raised and not because Fashola is from the West. The message is the most important thing and not one's location or origin.
