.

Are you that foolish and brainwashed to believe that crap?

Where did they park their fighter jets,helicopter,war boats,missiles?

You think those war equipment i mentioned above can be bought and smuggle into Nigeria with out the Nigeria government knowing?

Bursting pipelines is different from all out war Mr man.

Stop allowing foolish people to be giving you false hope.

They are just noise makers and want to send innocent people to their early grave.

Point noted bro. Just dat your first line was not civil.

ANENCEPHALY is the name of the condition.
It is easily detected with routine pregnancy scans.
A number of fetuses die in the womb, while those that make it to delivery die not long after.
A combo of absent skull and varying degrees of absent brain tissue.
Just one folic acid tablet a day would hav prevented this unfortunate occurrence.
God bless the little soul.

PHILipu1:
I blame democracy for all this trash.
Democracy is not for we Africans.

Every dick and tom can now just open his or her mouth and vomit rubbish.

Try this during military era and you and your people will suffer for it.

My oga, didn't you read the part where they claim to possess more arsenal than the Nigerian military?

I don't pity GTB at all. From the foregoing, they called for trouble & trouble they have gotten! Case of trouble dey sleep, iyanga go wake am!
It's also good to know that one man can grind an institution to a halt. They (GTB & their likes) must learn not to toy with their customers.

My dear pastor BAKARE, you are warmly welcome to our side - the side of frank truth & stark reality! I am however bemused it took you this long to decamp. Father Mbaka is next

On a Monday morning? Reminds me of NFA - No Future Ambition!

Honestly I really don't know wot to believe - one moment we hear shekau has been killed, today an ultimatum of a forty-day death warrant or life capture is issued!
In the words of some "ayamnotundastandin"

7. The bride who drowned during her wedding photo shoot.




In 2012, a woman taking part in a "trash the dress" wedding photo shoot drowned after being pulled underwater by the weight of her wedding gown while snapping pictures in a river near Dorwin Falls in Quebec.

Photographer Louis Pagakis said 30-year-old Maria Pantazopoulos entered the Ouareau River in her wedding dress so she could have her picture taken in the style of wedding photography meant to symbolize that permanence of the marriage.

But the dress quickly became saturated, and the weight of it was simply too much for the 100-pound Pantazopoulos, who began to sink to the bottom.

The photographer and a witness tried to save her but were unsuccessful.

A scuba diver later found Pantzopoulos' body at the bottom of a nearby stagnant pool of water.

In this part of the world, na mami water carry am go! So heartwrenching for the groom

Dsov2016:
If they want to leave let hem leave. What the government said is a step in the right direction. Imagine the number if jobs this could create. This was what I was just discussing with someone few weeks ago, even adverts meant for Nigerian goods and cosumption are being short in foreign countries. Just sit and don't be blinded by your emotions and think, just think of how many jobs can be created. The FG could have made it bad by imposing huge taxes on videos shot abroad

Hypocrisy spotted in 5D! Since you talked about jobs, let's examine the medical sector which is my constituency.
Do you know how many jobs will be created if you have at least two primary and at least one secondary health centre in each LGA? Do you know how many lives will be bettered health wise in terms of quick attention, efficient handling of emergencies, number of jobs created etc?
Rather than pursue this, my president & some Inappropriately privileged persons(you know those am talking about-most of whom occupy certain "chambers", some others parading as pregnant men) wil board the next available flight for an inconsequential headache!
I can bet a quarter of my next salary on the fact that your LGA has no health center whatsoever, yet you are quick to jump in the defense of this hypocritical, heartless & irresponsible government.

KahlDrogo:
Ayamnotunderstanding.

They gave three conditions to confirm Magu and the topmost condition is for him to be fired?

Tenx for assisting with resetting my brain. I didn't see what you pointed out earlier!. In Basorge Tariah jnr's words of the DO GOOD series- " I miss abroad"!

Fashola lobatan! I expect a robust reply from you though

I am now convinced that madam kemi has a innate problem & grossly incompetent!

Pidgin2:
It seems you are high on weed or something must be wrong somewhere

Little sis, at least you can do better than insult me.

Jonathan again!!!!!? Pls cut this dude some slack bro fashola and get to work, be ingenious! After two years counting and stil blaming Jonathan ? Haba,diaris God oh!.....

I really don't know where and how you came about your first three assertions, but I would readily contest the fourth - people in Nigeria seem happy but it's all delusional or some form of hypnosis. If not, pray tell, why should anyone be happy with the no power(1 day on, 6 days off - even the one day on culminates in only a total paltry 6 hours!), no money(mass retrenchment, no salary increase, delay in paying salaries, salary deductions), no education(schools closed for months), no social security (expensive healthcare, high accommodation rentage etc), no middle class, no future (corruption has blown away our common patrimonial savings, pensions etc),& no truth (religious houses just peddle all sorts of lies like - it is well{wen obviously all is not well} etc)
Rite now, Nigerians are really depressed but lack the requisite expression. Something we call blunt/inordinate affect in psychiatry!

Sounds ok sha, but I don't want to hear later that some scanners could not decode certain security features in someof these naija-produced e-passports thereby rendering them invalid!

Elementary economics talks of ostentatious goods & methinks this refurbished 3310 is one of them. But there's no chance I'll part wit my money, no matter how little it costs or how rich I become, for a 3310!
For instance, I recall wen I used to construct SMS with 3310 & it's likes, the ease a smartphone enables makes using a 3310 look like punishment!

Thanks op. However methinks a check engine light ,which was not mentioned, should rank higher than a low tyre pressure indicator.

elog:
Event would repeat again next year

Next year is too far! You should have mentioned next fortnight or at worst, just after the August break! "I miss abroad" - in the words of basorge tariah jnr of the do good series.

Point 3 which borders on positive reinforcements is one area most management teams overlook. To think they (mgt) are cutting salaries, owing several months in salary arrears, promoting no one, no talk of salary raise etc, In this time of recession and soaring prices of goods & services is to say the least callous and plain insensitive!

I smell political prostitution as is common in this part of the world. Men & women bereft of political ideology, always ready to migrate to wherever the grass appears green!

blackwood:
Really? Simply wash them.

Yes, simply wash them with detergent and a hand brush with hard bristles. do so at least thrice a week for 2weeks and your tyres will be brilliant black.

As was shared​ sometime last week:


Good afternoon peeps, I received a call from someone claiming to be one of the teachers at my child’s school informing me that my child had fallen on the stairs in school and had a broken leg. The teacher claimed to be calling from life link Hospital where the child had been rushed to and required urgent attention as she was bleeding profusely. I was asked to urgently send 200k so the child could be attended to. When I informed the caller that i have a medical card and that would go to the hospital, the caller said that time was of the essence as the child needed urgent medical intervention, before it was too late. The “teacher” handed the phone to a “doctor” who confirmed to me that the best thing was to send the money urgently to enable them commence treatment. I was ready to go to the hospital. However, i asked a final question: “What is the name of the child?”, upon which the caller immediately disconnected the call.

When i narrated this incident to another colleague, he told me that a friend of his was actually conned in the same way and she parted with 300k

To avoid being a victim:

1.   Remain calm.

2.   Ask them to tell you either the name of the child, or the name of the school and class/stream the child is in.

I thought I should share this with all of you, especially those of you who have school going kids, so you can be extra careful when handling strange calls. Please also advise your family and friends to be cautious.

Thanks a zillion! God bless you real good for this info.

It's scriptural
1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
Proverbs 3:5 - 6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

I read through the thread, sarcasms and all, and chose to contribute for the sake of brethren (Christians) who have delved into the practice of what I call "delusional Christianity".
To start with, the quote above is misplaced, a wrong application of Scripture. My wife & I call sex 'communion', meaning it is hallowed ab initio, hence it can be seen as prayer in its own right I.e prayer for sexual satisfaction,relief of sexual tension, baby making etc. No PASTOR has d right,on earth or in heaven to make sex cumbersome for any couple. Wives especially, pls take note.in summary, sex between a married couple is right, holy, pleasing to the Lord & doesn't require any form of OPENING prayer. Rather the couple should open up to themselves about what excites them in each others bodies with a view to deriving maximum satisfaction/enjoyment!

Back to the op, i sense desperation on the part of the wife & by extension the couple. Over the years, I have come to understand that once u get desperate, chances that what u seek will elude u are very high. So they should first stop having sex with baby making in view. Rather they should seek to satisfy each other sexually. If they do, sooner than later the wife will start feeling funny...........

Medically, are there any impediments? A couple should have a gynaecologist review them if they fail to achieve conception after 12months of consistent, unprotected, regular(sex,even one round is enough, on any 3-4days in a week of 7days) sexual intercourse. If there are medical impediments, medical treatment rather than blind prayers will be apt. If no impediments, the doctor will counsel them better on productive sex.

Seems like he's ready to be his own man now & not another stooge. I hope this is a move to bring good governance with its dividends whooesale to Abia state. My fingers are crossed at the moment.

msanda:
The following details the steps required to renew your driver's licence in Lagos, Nigeria. This is based on my recent experience. I'll try to be as detailed as possible but let me know if you have any questions.

The process can be split into 3 stages: Pre-application, Online Application, and DLC process. The whole thing can be done in a day.

PRE-APPLICATION:
My driver's licence was soon to expire and I started to experience the typical anxiety most people feel when they need to go through a process involving Nigerian government agencies. A number of questions needed answering so I got on Google ASAP.

QUESTION 1: Can I start the process online?
Answer: This was easy. The website http://www.nigeriadriverslicence.org shows up as soon as you type in "driver's licence" on Google.

QUESTION 2: Should I start the process now or should I wait for the licence to expire first? In other words, is there a grace period after the licence expires?
Answer: Nairaland had a number of conflicting opinions on this. Most people seemed to believe that there was a grace period after the licence expires. Some others even claimed it was risky starting the process before the licence expired. This notion is however incorrect.
I did some digging online and found an extract from the 2012 National Road Traffic Regulations (available here: http://frsc.gov.ng/publications) which states you can apply for a renewal "any time within a period of one calendar month before the expiry date of the licence." I also messaged the FRSC Nigeria Facebook account and the response was straightforward, "No grace after expiration please. You have to start the process as the license is about expiring."
In short, the grace period is 30 days before the licence expires. So I started the process immediately.

ONLINE APPLICATION
1. Go to http://www.nigeriadriverslicence.org and click on "Driver's Licence Renewal" (or "Renewal of Driver's Licence" under "DL Application"
2. This takes you to this page https://www.nigeriadriverslicence.org/dlApplication/renew where you are to enter your
Driver's Licence Number and Date of Birth. Note: If your drivers' licence is not going to expire within 30 days, you won't be able to proceed past this point.
3. On the renewal page, select between a 3-year validity period for N6,350 or a 5-year validity period for N10,450.
4. Complete the rest of the form with your personal details and contact/mailing address. You can choose to edit your information here (just check the edit box) or you can retain the details you had as at your last application. You can also add your Taxpayer Identification Number (just the 6 digits without the "N-" if you are so inclined.
5. If you do not need to change anything, you can skip to the bottom of the form where you fill in the Processing Office Details. The state and local government where your licence was initially processed will be indicated here, however you need to select your preferred FRSC Capture Center to conclude the process (I wasted some time here trying to figure out the difference between Eti-Osa_I and Eti-Osa_II then just went with Iru_VI eventually)
6. Next you have the option of repeating the bio-metric data capture or not. Unless you have undergone significant physical changes in the last 3-5 years, please select "No" here.
7. Submit
8. Note: If for any reason, you have to reload this page, please start over and select "No" under the bio-metric re-capture option again. When I first tried to submit and I had to correct something on the form, I noticed that the selection had defaulted to "Yes"; so I simply restarted the process from step 2 above (it doesn't take 5 minutes).
9. Once you are done, you will be shown the completed ML15R form on a Driver's Licence Application Preview Page. This will have all the application details with three options at the bottom of the page: 'Print', 'Proceed with Payment', 'Cancel'
10. I strongly advise you proceed with the online payment at this stage. It's the normal Interswitch process and pretty straightforward.
11. Once you're done with the payment, you will be taken back to the updated Driver's Licence Application Preview Page with the Payment Status updated to Payment Confirmed and the expiry date extended by the validity period you paid for (3 or 5 years)
12. Go to the bottom of the page and click on 'Print'

DLC PROCESS
1. Print 2 copies of the completed Driver's Licence Application Preview Page
2. Make 2 copies of your current driver's licence. Also have the original with you.
3. Take 2 passport photographs
4. Head to your selected FRSC Capture Center. If you can find the VIO "Road Sense" CD/DVD that you were given when you first applied for your driver's licence, please take this along with you.
5. At the center, present items 1-3 listed above (alongside your current original driver's licence) to the FRSC officers.
6. Next you will be directed to the VIO office (same building)
7. Present the above-listed items to the VIO officials.
8. At this point, you will be asked to pay N1,000. This is where the "Road Sense" CD/DVD comes in handy. The N1,000 payment is for a test and the CD. I mentioned that I was given the CD the last time I renewed my driver's licence and they asked if I had it with me. The explanation was that they couldn't simply accept my word that I had the CD. However, if I could present the CD, they would take out the cost from the N1,000. I didn't belabour the matter.
9. After paying, you need to take a test. I was given a verbal test although the VIO official pointed out that it should/could have been a written test. The test was simple enough and it essentially became a 5-minute educational discourse. Just be patient and remember, the maximum speed limit in Lagos State is 80km/hr
10. After successfully passing the test, the VIO official will give you a signed Driver's Licence Checklist, and also complete required parts of the printed Driver's Licence Application Page.
11. Back at the FRSC desk, you need to make copies of the signed Driver's Licence Checklist and the signed Driver's Licence Application Page (with your passport photograph attached).
12. These copies attached to a copy of your current driver's licence will be further signed by the FRSC official and this forms your temporary driver's licence.

The new driver's licence will be ready in 3 months.

Op thanks for d education. Pieces like yours endear me to nairaland. However I'd like to make some additions/corrections
Its a process that cumulatively spans less than three hours altogether as opposed to less than twenty-four.
A five year renewal costs 10,350, not 10,450.
For those not favourably disposed to online transactions like me (I have had horrible experiences and can't be convinced otherwise), you have the option to click pay at bank, preferably with pay arena.

On a lighter note, that 1000 charged by VIO appears fraudulently compulsory!

Excuses are materials humanoids deploy in erecting monuments of emptiness

She should calm down joo..


FG will pay her compensations.

How heartless and insensitive a comment to make. Florence is raising valid questions & all you can spew is the pus above? If that was meant to be a joke, it definitely was way off the line.

Dear fitness doctor, in as much as I agree with much of what u wrote, being a medical practitioner myself, I beg to differ on the acne-ejaculation relationship. For the records, most men masturbate. As such u wil expect that more men than women shd hav acne, but the male-female prevalence ratio is skewed towards the female gender.
Pls verify & state ur findings

APCsupporter:
what is happening in this country?

Same question on my mind

A suggestion that is dead on arrival. Wil govt controlled INEC register the party? Why is the govt afraid of a referendum?

the operational word there is 'to'. when will it happen. over here, things are waiting to happen, but nothing really happens.....
