[/quote][quote author=stan-ogb]I wonder which state the protest will take place...(I cant stop laughing)...Goodluck will just set up a committee for it...and thats the end...so I advice those posted to the North to redeploy or refuse to go...

the protest is envisaged to be carried out in each of the affected states. at least 30 person need to be mobilized to carry out this movement in each of the states concerned to stamp out this life-gambling-NYSC-postings.I am aware their is not much time but lets try and do something we still stand a good chance of effecting change. this issue has to be a national issue, it has to be the hot of the press. what he just need from you is support. spreed the information on facebook, tweeter, and other social network. Enough is enough!
moderator you are not helping this course. pls, can you move this tread in the front page even if it is just a day pls you need to support the poster.I personally know him and how he lost one of his siblings while serving in the North

Kenneth Nnebue is the producer and director of that movie.

I see.
that Okonkwo dude, to me remains one of the best and arguably the most consistent nollywood actor ever, apart from the fact that he's among the pioneers of the wood,he's till date still as relevant as ever. i think he also deserve a life time achievement award(MO).

Life Time Achievement Award
Kenneth Nnebue (Living in Bondage)

Me thinking it should be Kenneth Okonkwo(Andy Okeke) or is it a mistake

what a loss. RIP

Gov.Rochas Okorocha receives Lifetime Achievement Award in Turkey.

In other positive news, Governor Rochas Okorocha was recently awarded the Diamond Lifetime Achievement Award by the Yildiz Teknik University, Turkey. The honour was made in recognition of Governor Okorocha’s efforts in pioneering FREE EDUCATION for the less privileged in Nigeria.

According to information contained in a Press release made available to IMO STATE BLOG, Yildiz Teknik University disclosed plans to enter into an exchange programme with the state to train our youths in several engineering fields as well as explore the possibility of setting up a campus in the state. The management of the institution stated that Gov. Okorocha was selected based on his outstanding contribution in promoting education and religious tolerance.”


In his acceptance speech, Gov. Okorocha, dedicated the award to the less-privileged and called for closer cooperation between Nigeria and Turkey. He also pointed out that both nations shared a similarity in their aspiration for growth and to improve the lives of their people adding that quality education was one of the secrets behind the rapid development of Turkey. He stated that Nigeria required foreign assistance to address its energy problem but warned that only serious firms will be considered as the days of “briefcase contractors” were over in Imo State.

“The days of briefcase contractors are over. There are great business opportunities in Imo state for Turkey investors to make profit if they are genuine. We don’t need money, aid or grant rather partnership to unlock the human and natural potentials of our people. We no longer need economic girlfriends but wives”

Governor Okorocha who was on an Economic Mission to Turkey promised that his administration would continue to develop world class infrastructure and put in place enabling policies to attract foreign investment for employment and rural development.
Rector of the institution, Prof. Ismail Yuksek praised Gov. Okorocha’s achievements barely one year in office and charged him to continue his quest for rapid human and infrastructural development of Imo state.


Also speaking at the Ceremony, Director-General of the Nigerian-Turkey Chamber of commerce and Industry, Dr. Hyacinth Eche said that the choice of Gov. Okorocha for the award was made after an exhaustive search for worthy Nigerians. He called for greater cooperation between both countries.




The Award comes as an International endorsement for the FREE EDUCATION programme. It is worthy to note that the Yidiz Teknik Univeristy (Yildiz Technical University) is one of the seven government universities in İstanbul. Founded in 1911, it is listed as the third oldest university in Turkey. It is also regarded as one of the best universities in Turkey.

I particularly love the above bolded intelligent excerpt. this dude is really articulative as they come.

blabber15: I hope that she will play the role well. It would be very unfortunate if that great storyline was ruined by poor acting.

u'r truely rep ur name

[/quote][quote author=Chuba1]nice.one:

I'm sorry, that was sloppy of me. You are right, it is the other way round (Imo was larger before the creation of the new Eastern states but is not currently). The education data is clear then: IMO is the undisputed no 1.

yeah, i do know they both have a comparable population but Anambra might just be slightly more

Chuba1: Essentially, Imo is no 1 in absolute terms (i.e. sends more people to university than any other state in Nigeria), while Anambra is no 1 and Imo no 2 when you adjust for population[b] (Imo State is more populous)[/b].

at the bolded. do you really think so? i had thought otherwise.

that was quit a revelation by chuba1. for those who say se male are not as enthusiastic about going to school as their female counterpart should pls check out this link

wow ! the consistent dominance of imo in jamb enrollment over the years is simply unbelievable . sometimes i wonder if imo indigenes are the most populous in Nigeria. i wouldn't want to believe that though but going by the consistent huge distance with which they surpass the states that are closest to them( consistently in tens of thousands) one wonders if they really are.

Michelin Michelin Michelin!!! how many times did i call you? why you dey fall your hand like this na? you take this thing too personal. weather you  like it or not the babe tight.

jay bee:

^^
Are they going to ask the dude in a brown shirt to excrete some stuffs as well?
Dude sure looks like he swallowed some kees

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

O boy u don finish me with laaaafoooooooo! i just spilled my coffee b/c of this.

Guardian:

CRAP. Guys' face and skin all look rough.

Nonesense. I get the Feeling The Bruce just enjoy making crazy money out of this. Course All the Winners they sponsor tot world competition are far from beauty or macho in anyway. I they know it.

The female part is the worse. Compare the ugly ducks they send to Miss world to the beauties from Brazil, America abi na Barbados or Jamaica, ,              SAD

why do people love painting any thing Nigeria  black. did the previous winners of the Mr Nigeria pageant did badly in the world stage? for your info Ikenna Brian okwara the Ist niaja rep made it to the semis in the world stage in 2007 while Kenneth okoli, the second niaja rep was the second runners up in 2010. so what da fuss about. Atleast at this stage, with their experience they know the demands of the competition in the world stage. the competition is not all about how cute, how macho, how prominent your packs are but also includes how intelligent, how smart, how well you carry yourself, how composed, how strong you can be in a physical exercise etc. all these are the essential ingredient of a  real mr.

though Bakare may not be as eye catching as his two predecessors, but let just give him a chance. nobody knows what may happen in the world stage.

heheheheheheheh

na wa 4 this your observationooo!

well, i hope say you remember your rough rider while grooving?

hehehehehe

love without money is funny

but you can still promise her a good f^k.

just call on born2fuck too give you some good wiring tips

cheers

a woman whose wahala will not be more than me

people  can be very naive. how can some one term Imo state a poor state whereas by Nigeria standard Imo state is easily one of the richest states in terms of gdp per capital. pls those of you who say imo is poor should just work out gdp per capital of various states and compare with Imo state from the data below:

frosbel:

He gave it to the wrong church  

Another Atheist paying indulgences to the Pope for fear of DEATH  

ur comment is one of the main reasons why we have too many atheist cause adherents disagree amongst each other. Imagine thousands of religion; tens of thousands of denominations; hundreds of thousands of belief etc. all claiming theirs are right and others aren't.

great!

why not.

wow! what a look!. good Brit boy gone bad in d Hollywood way. Craig used to be ma best back then. still play his songs though. 'Born to do it' still remains one of the best Album ever made.

well i must confess that 2007-2011 saw Nigeria producing one of its best governors in history. However, in all i have to give it to Chibuike Amechi cos before he came rivers state was literally in disarray. but within just 3yrs( he lost a year to umehia) he was able to touch almost all aspect of the economy. the kind of primary and secondary school i saw when i recently visited ph can compete with the best in the world though i dont know the measure he has in place to safeguard those state of the art facilities. ph is just in the boiling point with construction and restructuring going on here and their. the completed roads are mostly dual carriage and a beauty to behold. i was really impressed with what as saw. chime and fash are also quit impressive and deserve commendation

hey peeps, i tink it is high time we stopped attaching too much importance to religion cos it had for long fulfied it purpose (conquest, colonisation etc). we have to utilise the tme we lend to religion in doing something usefull to ourselves and the society at large just as the free thinkers and scientists. i think the world would have been a far more advanced world if there had been no religion as could be examplified during the dark age when religion held everything about man from craddle to grave and the Greco-Romans spirit of inquiry was blown to oblovion which resulted to attendant technological/economic inertia for as long as the dark age lasted. in as much as i am not against religion, i think it is tme we stopped making it too consequential. txs

that's good radiance for change from my beloved homeland Imo. go Rochas go, u are the man! nde Imo has spoken

at poster,
GEJ emerging as the winner of the just concluded election is a collective efforts of voters from different geopolitical zones and i don't think the SW region votes in particular did swing the votes in favour of GEJ cos he could still win without the six SW states since he could still easily meet d 25% votes of 2/3 of the states and FCT (he currently holds at least 25% of votes cast in 33 states as well as d FCT ) so you can do the simple maths of what would be if all the SW states had not voted for GEJ. also, when we talk about the vote count d almost 10m+ votes lead by GEJ can hardly be overturn by any single geopolitical zone. so i think u are entirely wrong
imo, i think it is better to look at GEJ victory as a collective wish of Nigerian as the vote spread suggests rather than looking at it on a ethno-religious lens txs.

^ easy bro! y u dey finish a super star like that na

wow! that was some shrewd replies from the Nollywood maestro herself.
