I just strolled by to see the shirt...

Malakh:
and why do you use these people like mark zuberg as role models, what's special about them, are they gods, why compare other people to them,why should anyone care how they live their lifestyle,aren't we suppose to be individuals, must people be sheep-minded, look at you looking up to white men as role model, people who were "blessed" by satan nonsense

Ok, let's use black examples: Sim Shagaya, Seun, Tayo Oviosu, Mary Remmy-Njoku, Mark Essien and many other young, silently-wealthy Nigerians don't throw money around. Even though they could blanket the floor with it.

LEOVOLUTION:
So Benjamin Franklin's image is found on a dollar bill? People sef.

No, that's George Washington on those notes. Furthermore the "1" at the corners, and the "ONE" in the back are dead giveaways that those are $1 notes

So what's the difference between this and #500 rain? Na only one-one dollar I dey see

We really should refrain from such crass abuse of currency.

Tolexander:
I know the groom will be one rich businessman and never a civil servant!

Like should attract like.

How is a civil servant supposed to build the kind of house to entertain the well-to-do people he will be connecting with in this family? How can he maintain his wife in the lifestyle she is accustomed to?

Don't tell me love conquers all, because if I tell ask to give up your phone, car, generator, flat, borehole, indoor toilet, and some other things you're used to, will you gladly live barefoot in some village in Ekiti? I don't think so.

EmoBoy:
Oil money

And what's wrong with using oil money to develop all parts of a country, educate all it's citizens, and provide opportunities so all the citizens become highly productive members of societies? Vast amounts of the US was developed by initially redistributing wealth from the coastal areas to build railroads, cities, and industrial parks in the hinterland.

Farmers were subsidized heavily to develop farmlands in the western and mid-west states; people and railroad, electricity, telephone companies were given incentives (tax holidays, land grants, low interest loans) to "open up the interior"; universities, government parastatals and research centers were built "in the "middle of nowhere" .... with the majority of money coming from revenues and taxes on people in states like Massachusetts, New York, Virgina, Maryland, South Carolina, and increasingly California. And now over 300million people are enjoying the lifestyles that come with all these investments made in the past.

Even now, poorer states like West Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana receive a disproportionate share of federal money, compared to how much they contribute to the national economy. So the comment "oil money" that I see so often, (which makes it seem that only a certain part of the country is entitled to it) really has no rational basis in modern countries.


That said, the structure is nice, and here are some examples of how it can aid development:

- hotels
- food vendors
- transportation (taxis, buses)
- office needs (photocopy/printing)
- people might start building around it, now that there's some activity and roads
- businesses and shops that employ/support the new residents
- local labour that helped to build it, and may maintain it (cutting grass, guards, fixing)
- tourism: conferences often dedicate some hours to touring, especially for out-of-state attendees

Hello House
Please which is better and durable between these two.
Wooden kitchen cabinet
And the Block type with Tiles design.
Thanks

Either way has their disadvantages. For me the, the tiles will crack and chip at some point. Once that happens you'll find the damage spreading, and it can be hard to fix without doing a major retiling of a section. Same is true of wood... once it starts to swell or crack from all that moisture, you need to replace something.

All told, I think the wood is easier/cheaper to fix and look good. It's rare to see a fixed tile job look good after some years

Wow

What a loving and caring father

Every father should emulate this man

Not trusted. The news these days is: "A happned", then two hours later "Na lie, B happened", just for the sake of traffic. SMH

godunia:
The word coordinating is not found in section 145 of the constitution referred to. According to that reference, Osibanjo is the Acting President. In his first letter, he didn't make any reference but in the second he did perhaps in anticipation that he might be staying away for long or in case of eventuality.

That's right... the letter could contain any language (for instance, I'm leaving my pet cow in charge), but the Constitution confers the power of president on the Vice President (AP for the duration of the vacation) - this is a limitation of the president's power to circumvent a prescribed transfer of power

Funny how the Constitution does not state that he must write a letter... just that if he does, VP becomes AP.

Balkan:
can Osibanjo be addressed as Acting president?

Yes. The Constitution confers the title on him, once the President notifies of his vacation.

Eya sorry ehn... Eva, my number is 0805052xxxx

Just hit me up, and na palm wine and kola to your papa house



I'm only half joking... Eva is the kind of girl I will marry sharp sharp

ShitHead:
She's 24 but her pusssy is 43. By their Vaginas, we shall know them.

Chai you wicked!

But the girl is funny sha... I like her brand of comedy

From the Constitution http://www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm

145. Whenever the President transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or that he is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his office, until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary such functions shall be discharged by the Vice-President as Acting President.

From my interpretation, it is not up to the President to declare that Vice-President is Acting President; the Constitution makes it clear that
the Vice-President becomes Acting President as soon as the vacation letter is sent, up until the President sends another letter that he has resumed.

At least he put systems in place that will run in his absence. For that we are grateful. Past and other current African presidents don't put such systems in place, leading to uncertainty should anything happen.

But on the other hand, the economy and naira have a habit of improving when he's away...

RosaConsidine:
I like that he's young but that's about it.

What is his political ideology? On which party's platform does he intend to run and what is their ideology? How does he intend to achieve whatever plans he has for the country? What does he know about the country's complex political, economic and tribal systems and what are his views about them? How does he intend to unite Nigerians under one banner in a drive to push us forward as against the idea of division and exclusion that previous politicians have used when running for office? He should answer these questions first then we might tell if he is actually serious about making Nigeria great or he really wants to upgrade from billionaire to something richer.

If the younger generation 18-45 all troop out vote for him or another idealist, they can overwhelm the aging, tribalistic population

He should be able to contest when he has reached the constitutional age.

We need smart and moneyed people who are already successful with connections to other smart and moneyed people. We're tired of poor thuggish kleptomaniacs who don't understand how to manage and grow economies.

So the devil told you not to replace your tires abi? That tire is as bald as Pa Ajasco. And you were probably speeding when the tire finally gave out?

Notice how straight, level, and smooth the road is? Can't blame this accident on government.

ZarZar:
True. Because it makes no sense for a doctor, who is probably a logical man, to piss away his hard earned money on just company, when he could get a whole lot more for less elsewhere. It doesn't add up.

I dunno... it's probably much cheaper than having a wife - who you're no longer being intimate with. But you have to buy her car, a bigger house, shopping money, deal with all that "you sleep on the couch" nonsense and still risk her taking half whenever you divorce.
And how many escorts can a rich guy hire before it gets boring?

There is something to be said for being in the company of a woman you're not having relations with: the attraction without the consummation can be stimulating. It's very common in (for instance, Japan) for men to enjoy the company of women who's sole job is conversation and light flirtation, with the promise - but not actualitization - of going further.

Someone like him can have (and has probably been with) any woman he wants, but after it all, they are all the same. After a few encounters, one loses the attraction and yet has to put up with woman palaver, until you get another - who is just the same as the previous one.

I imagine 2500 is chump change to him, the same he would spend on two good shoes and a suit, but he's already got shoes and suits.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, at a certain stage, sex loses it's magic, and it's ok to pay for other forms of entertainment, like sugar babies

No... it's policy makers and theives like you that should know why we're still in recession. Between Buhari, Adeosun, Emefele, and various looters, this recession should not have even happened.

One guy gonna smash all that backside, while hitting it hard with his palms

Goodnuel:
He cooked the properties..

Why do people even hire guys as cooks??

Because they are very professional and have less drama in general. That is, until stealing became so rampant.
Also, zero temptation for oga

Why are people comparing jollof rice cooked in the comfort of a house and near markets, with jollof cooked while on a military campaign in the bush?

lorhema:
I thought you had to treat water from a borehole. Looks like its not compulsory,only when the water has issues?

Nah... here in Asaba, we use untreated borehole water for everything except drinking.

Osinbajo or Atiku would make a great president.

I like Osinbajo's quiet hard work, and admire Atiku's accomplishments.

They are both very personable characters who have demonstrated great compentency, just have not been given the chance to shine.

Minus Rufai and Tinubu, the rest would make decent vice presidents.

Flashmove:
Thank you for boasting the tourism , But the place dont worth 3 Million per Night.

Except if you are thief from Nigerian government , No insane person who is doing a legitimate business will go to his bank an withdraw 3 million to spend in one Night 12 hours only.

Na soo oh.. I dey mad? Even paying 7k for hotel makes me annoyed

Flashmove:
The places i have gone and stayed free in Malaysia , singapore is 90 times better than this ... What are they celebrating .. Maybe its for those who have not traveled outside Nigeria before.


Nigeria is still 150 % backwards in development and basic amenities.

Good for you. This is for us that want to vacation in Nigeria, and will help boost tourism in Nigeria, by Nigerians.

Beautiful. Though I spent more time checking out Jaaruma

For me sha.. if I had that kind of money, I would luxuriate my humble home.

Nice one.

I wish he shared more about the process, like how he saved, what his first company was, how he failed, and what he learned.

GEJPosterity:
They also have running water, smooth, tarred roads all over their cities, subsidised social housing, 90%+ literacy and human development indices that are far superior to at least half of Nigeria. Their infrastructure stock was built by Europeans before majority rule happened in 1980 without a destructive civil war. They are also having a bumper harvest, meeting all their internal food needs with leftover to export - Nigeria is still importing garri and wheat and corn.

By all objective measures, Zimbabwe is a more developed country than Nigeria. Visit it and you will be shocked at how backward Nigeria actually is, relative to even the rest of Africa. It's only in the minds of delusional Nigerians who don't travel that Nigeria is some kind of great, important country. Nigeria is actually a backward, inconsequential West African British vassal state led by illiterates, where its most expensive high class neighbourhoods have open gutters, individual septic tanks, boreholes and diesel generators.

You need to get out more.

Guy, you vex?
But you are speaking the truth, and I am nodding in agreement.

JohnXcel:
So you want to tell me we can't produce our own ''toothpicks''

SMH!

Even if we wanted... still have to import machine... buy generator and fuel... plus who will give you a good supply of raw materials... carton nko? By the time anybody wants to make toothpick... you realize it's far less hassle and less risky to just import.
