Be careful what stones you throw, for one day it may be your turn... Most of us do things that we rather was kept quiet... whether it's visiting olosho or smoking grass or something. That's all I'm going to say about this...

Jimi23:
You mean Chidinma absconded to another country to hide from her show of shame and avoid getting lynched. Asylum my ass. Liars. How do we ascertain that information? She set herself up for blackmail. She was caught in the act and deserves what she got. If she like make she pay her blackmailers 18million dollars. RUBBISH.

talktonase:
Do you know whether she has yeast infection in her mouth?

... and how many girls have you checked for yeast infection before kissing them? *smh*

It's not even bigmanism. Everything for dat side is expensive. OK, if I go to Iya Fawaz, I just need N200 amala plus N100 meat to satisfy me. What is N300 in dollars? (300/430) = 70cents. You cannot even buy the cheapest drink for 70 cents in a restaurant, talk less of soup. Even all-you can eat Chinese buffet can be $10 (including tax, tip?), and that by itself is 4.5k at prevailing exchange rate. Last year it would have been 2k.

Don't his workers acquire skills on the job?

TroubleMaker47:
Kul! But it would have been more productive to igboland that he builds a skill acquisition center eg a welding or wood work yard and made it almost free.


All the churches we get for Nigeria ...
Who the church epp,

Wait, I don't understand; he "won" Grammies that were won by the artists on whose albums he played? Na so ppl dey win Grammy?

Comedy wedding tinz

Love Yemi. Love the hair, very creative.

But what was I observing? Her hourglass figure is becoming like a sack of garri. We're not supposed to objectify, but baby girl needs to slow down on the carbs cuz her midsection is getting fatter, all around.

Or is it the dress?

Adesiji77:
He couldn't let go of N5,000?

Heh heh, I too would like people to just dash me 5k. Ask a naija bank to let go of 5k you go hear am. Na beans? Even N50 for extra meat in buka dem no dey gree give free.

Ask a bank in US to let go of 5k ($11) and they will turn you over to debt collectors shap shap.

Aw yeah... This is really looking nice. I'm really going to copy this design because it's so compact, yet stylish. Keep it going!

But this is a marketing move: without Google having to spend money on ad campaign, she will help promote it, as she already is doing with these photos

deb303:
and they gave it to someone who really dnt need it

2017 LX!!!

You know how many flats you can build with that money? Pheeeew!

The annual insurance on this car is more than what I paid total for my jalopy.

Government should realize this is a very important agency. In these hard times, people will start faking drugs again oh. And na we go suffer am.

All I know is, it's not the tiles that's catching my eye

Sorry, sorry, I know I'm supposed to keep it professional, but... my eyes... they wander ... and no be only me notice am.

Unlike all those poor artists shouting "fera gamo", "ferra... sumtin" (I no fit spell), this lady is actually wearing it.

Unlike the guy, the house make send nah

That may be true, but for the short while that we are alive, there are levels.

So bleaching is still making so much money? Na wah oh...

yedidiah:
the sad truth is that, humans all come from dust. In other words, Na still sand him be with all the bleaching and makeup

Exactly! Just begging for material things. Not even asking for money to do biz, or offering to do some work for Ycee. I blame all these "answer my prayer" songs of instant wealth without hard work. Smh

Bolustic:
This is the state of mind of an average Nigerian youth, ladies in particular. Nigeria will not have young billionaires, Nobel prize winners, inventors, trail blazers in years to come, if care is not taken, with this type of epicurean and materialistic youths of this generation.

Ever wonder when Nigeria will be the one investing in other countries? India spent time to develop their economy, now they are making these kind of large investments.

Anyway, before I get crucified, let me also agree that this deal is a good thing. Sai Baba

abike12:
What about structural integrity? You can't pay me to stay in a high rise in Nigeria with all that's been going on

Actually, most if not all, of the high rises in Nigeria are well built and stable, from Lagos to Ibadan to Abuja. Not one has fallen since the first was built (Cocoa House, Ibadan) in 1965.

I am on your side on this one (and a firm believer in manufacturing), but I think the answer for why they're doing this is:

1. there is a demand for luxury accomodations in Nigeria that will pay from day 1.
2. factories and industry is risky business when you have to supply your own electricity, water, light
3. who knows how much you will pay for machines and raw materials as the exchange rate bounces all over the place
4. the quality of labour is low (compared to other countries), due to many factors
5. Nigerians won't buy your products (since it's made in Nigeria)
6. apart from a few sectors, competition from abroad (with lower costs of production) will wipe out your profits

In light of these, the question to me becomes, "who in their right mind would build a factory in Nigeria?" It's sad, really.
Of course, we have our few giants of industry, but for the most part, there's more profit in luxury accommodations, than there is in manufacturing, today. Besides, it will grow the economy in terms of office space, hotels, luxury apartments and the like.

fellis:
Why don't these people just build factories and industries instead to create jobs for youth? What purpose is this hotel serving towards making Nigeria a better country?

Sadly, it is us, the people, who are mesmerized by their campaigns, who vote them in. Shame, really

TwoBottles:
I once had the opportunity to sit on the same table with a former governor and all he could talk about was "Brazilian big booty latinas." He was far from sober and I thought he looked really stupid. Most of our so called leaders are too mundane to occupy their revered seats.


Mais ce n'est pas mes oignons.

I too would like to believe that, but I can't shake the feeling he too was persuaded with "mobilization" before pursuing the matter. I could be wrong, but having dealt with DCP,AC, DPO in various parts of Naija... Hrm

It's finally beginning to look like a place somebody can live in. We hope to finally finish the ground floor this year, but the going is slow sha
Because spacing was so tight in the bathroom we bought the cabinet, sink and toilet before any plumbing was done, to make sure they would fit, and where the pipes should go. I'm happy to see our efforts paid off, as everything aligns so well. Will show more details in a later post

You can't tell that there are batteries under the floor. We decked the battery area (4ft by 1.5ft) with a removable cover, like a soakaway, and then tiled over it.

There is an external vent for gas and visual inspection, but the batteries are mostly maintenance-free until their allotted 3 years of service. At that time, we just need to lift off the tiles and cover to gain access to the area.

Note that the small size of the structure (mandated by our earlier premise of using solar panels as roofing material) is the major reason for this hassle. If I was to do it again, I'd just make the building larger and have a dedicated closet space for the batteries.

Tiling works. I must say I'm very impressed with the tiler guy. Look at how well he dressed the window, and tiled around the toilet pipes. The shower area is also well sloped.

What about the highly-subsidized school fees in Federal universities and state polytechnics? You think the fees students pay actually covers salaries, building costs, facilities maintenance and other expenses?

Student loans may seem to be a good idea, but f the choice is lower tuition or student loans that saddle you for 20+ years (ask US post graduates), the subsidized version seems to make more sense for the students.

Hands up if you think this was the [b]real [/b]reason for the battering.

Baptizing a female by a male minister is awfully wrong. This is where female ministers comes in.

... and who baptized the first female ministers?

There was once a fine guy named Majek... I pray we won't see you going down that route Wizzy Baby

yedidiah:
Why do we always restrict Nigeria to Hausa. Igbo and Yoruba sef.

Because with those three languages, you capture 80% or so of the audience. The remaining 20% is a lot to do, if you think of all the languages that would need to be recorded and the talent to be found and paid. We should strive for 100%, but don't begrudge too much for the effort. It's the reason Google started out in English, and over time, with more resources and demand, offered more and more language.

And don't forget, if you have a particular language in mind, support them, volunteer your efforts, and donate some money so they can make it happen.

How I have wished for something like this for so long. More grease to their elbows.
