Na so..... Goat wey I go knack pako on top in head

bros , for that side, they fit jail u unto that kind act o ....... The goat get name na

A stubborn goat named Goliath, has landed in police net
after it refused to leave a restaurant despite several
efforts to walk it out of the place.
According to Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the
employees at Tim Hortons in Saskatchewan, asked the
goat to leave but it refused.
After the staff of the restaurant tried to walk the animal
out, it reportedly turned around and walked back through the automatic doors of the restaurant and found a comfortable place to sleep therein.
It was reported that the goat was later taken into police custody and was reunited with its owners after the police located them.

Then, I ask myself ......... This kin goat see place to display yanga oooo ..... Come tryam for 9ja na

Dubai like you all call it is one of the 7 states of Abudhabi,Ajman,Sharja,Umm Al Quaiwain,Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, in the Emirates

I don’t claim to be an expert on political or social issues, so take what I say with a grain of salt, as I may be completely off base. I visited the UAE for the first
time last November, and found it fascinating. It was kind of like Las Vegas on steroids, minus the slutty
clothing.
There are some places I love because they’re beautiful and the people are amazing, like my four favorite places in the world: Bali, Berchtesgaden, Hong Kong, and Queenstown . Then there are places that I’m simply fascinated by, and I’m not sure what to think of them. The UAE fits in that category.
On the surface it’s an amazing place. It’s like Disney World for adults, with the biggest and most expensive of everything. And what I also find fascinating about the UAE is how international it is. It’s the only place
outside of the US or Germany where people don’t automatically assume I’m a visitor, because it’s a country full of temporary residents. While the US
might be a “melting pot,” the UAE is a salad bowl, with all kinds of cultures that keep to themselves.

But here’s what’s depressing about the UAE — it’s the first place I’ve honestly felt sorry for the people serving me, be it in a restaurant, hotel, taxi, or elsewhere. I’ve been to a ton of third world countries, but I’ve never felt “sorry” for the average person
there. That’s simply because I don’t think there’s a connection between wealth and happiness. You see families in India living in poverty that are happy
because they value what’s important in life (health,family, etc.), while you see depressed billionaires in the US. That’s actually probably one of the first lessons I ever learned from traveling — there’s not much of a correlation between wealth and happiness.

But the UAE is an exception, because no matter which person in the service industry you talk to, the story is identical. They’re here on a temporary work permit (usually 2-5 years), and work 12+ hours per day, 6-7 days per week. But what makes the UAE different
than most other places in the world where people work “hard” is that they’re separated from their family. They’re literally abused to work, work all day,
bused back to their “compound,” sleep, and start the cycle all over again.
And in a way it makes me feel even more fortunate for what I have. Not even that I have a pretty awesome/fun job, but the fact that I have the ability
to live where I want. I’ve been fascinated by every person I’ve come in
contact with in this country. Whether I’m getting in a cab, having lunch, or checking into a hotel, I’m always curious to hear peoples’ life stores. I’ll ask them where they’re from, how long they’ve been here, and whether
they like it or not. While the answers vary as to where they’re from, there’s one thing that’s consistent — nobody likes working here. A couple of days ago I talked to a waitress who said she had been here for six months and that she still cries every night.

The other night I took a personal tour in Abu dhabi, where most Africans reside, I found out that some don't even have documents to identify their Nationality, some have sold their passport for feeding( they called them "Tekos". 99.9% of the ladies are into various forms of prostition ..... It's even worst in Diera where most of the populations there are Africans
I have pretty mixed feelings about all of this. On one hand I feel guilty enjoying myself on a vacation knowing the hardships these people are subjected to.
On the other hand nobody is forcing them to work here — they could have stayed in their country but chose to
move here (admittedly this may just all be a cycle, since they were indirectly “forced” to move here due to lack
of jobs in their home countries in some cases). But more than anything else it makes me thankful for what I have.
This is the first time I’ve ever felt like I’m being served by indentured servants, for lack of a better way of
putting it.

Am I off base? For those that have visited the UAE (or similar Middle Eastern countries), how do you feel?
For those that haven’t, would you feel comfortable with this kind of a situation?

The decline in global crude oil prices may not abate until 2017 as the oil market is expected to rebalance within two years, the Secretary-General of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Abdalla el-Badri, has said.

Badri, who spoke in London on Tuesday, was said to have expressed concern about the impact of low oil prices on investment and the consequences for future supply, but insisted that rebalancing the world oil markets was the responsibility of all producers and not a burden to be borne by OPEC alone.

He was quoted by Platts as predicting that oil prices would rise from current six-year lows of below $50 per barrel in the next few months, although he did not say how much improvement he expected.

“We have an overhang of 200 million [barrels] in the market. All of us should work together, OPEC and non-OPEC…all of us have to work together to see how we can get rid of this 200 million barrel overhang,” Badri told the annual Oil & Money conference in London.

“I’m really disturbed,” he said, referring to the wave of investment cuts announced by oil companies this year in response to the price plunge. “You will see the result. This means less supply and higher prices in the future.”

Talking to reporters later, Badri said overall global investment in oil could drop by $130bn this year from $650bn in 2014.

Badri also appeared to offer some comfort to those OPEC members that had been unhappy about the group’s current laissez-faire strategy of allowing prices to fall to levels that could force high-cost non-OPEC production out of the market.

“This will take a year, maybe a year and a half,” he said.



He noted that non-OPEC supply growth was slowing and was expected to be “zero” next year, while the call on OPEC crude was rising.

“So, we see that there is an improvement in the market,” he said, “but how much the price will improve we don’t know.”

Badri told reporters he expected Iran’s full return to the market to be discussed at OPEC’s next meeting on December 4 in Vienna.

Iran has said it expects to boost its crude exports by one million barrels per day within six months of the lifting of sanctions.

Badri was asked whether any talks were planned between OPEC and a number of independent producers.

He said there had been a meeting of technical experts in May and that he suggested October 21 for a follow-up meeting, again at expert level.

A date had still to be set, he said, emphasising that this meeting would not be at the ministerial level.

Oil prices have almost halved in the last year on oversupply in a drop that deepened after OPEC in 2014 changed strategy to protect market share against higher-cost producers, rather than cut output to prop up prices as it had done in the past.

“This situation may not stay long, more than two years,” the OPEC chief said in response to a question on how long the market would take to rebalance.

OPEC expects global demand for its crude, under pressure in recent years because of rising supplies from outside the group, to rise to 30.3 million barrels per day in 2016, about one million bpd more than in 2015.

“We will see the effect of the cut on production,” Badri said. “This will mean less supply in the near future.”

“We are seeing now a low price. After a few months, we will not see this. We will see a higher price again.”

The National Secretary of the Labour Party, Barrister Kayode Ajulo has said that by not including any young Nigerian in the ministerial list, President Muhammadu Buhari has shown that he has nothing to offer Nigerian youths who made his presidency possible.

Ajulo said “It is very painful that our nation is again running around in circles in the name of ‘Change’ even though Providence has granted us yet another opportunity to get it right. It is equally heartbreaking that the president has taken the citizens on a merry-go-round and a wild goose chase in the name of shopping for angels who will sanitize the nation.

Where are the angels that President Buhari promised? Where are the saints that he vowed to find and work with in his bid to bring change home to Nigerians? A cursory glance at that list reveals that the much touted change is an urban legend- a myth sold to Nigerians by the APC to win the mandate.

“It is laughable that President Buhari – a man perceived by some to be a staunch anti-corruption crusader – would actually opt, of his own free will, to work with some personalities whose name have been included in the list of the nominees. These people belong to the old guard, they are the same ones who did the damage. It reeks of suspicion when the famed champion of anti-corruption nominates people who are already burdened with accusations of malfeasance and flagrant mismanagement of public funds. Where then is the war against corruption? It is DOA – Dead on Arrival.

“In my opinion, the president owes Nigerian youths an explanation. It is a mystery and a riddle why he would be appointing men who should be on retirement to the grueling task that a ministerial appointment presents. There are many qualified and credible young persons who can deliver the needed goods to Nigerians. These young men and women made his presidency possible.

“Why stick to ancient persons? It is tragic that even though the youths within 18-45 years old make up as much as 78% of the votes that saw President Buhari emerge as president, the average age in the announced list and even in the appointments he has made so far is 61 years. It is not about the rich or the poor but about the Old and the Young.”

A member of the House of Representatives, Raphael Igbokwe has also urged Buhari to appoint more young people.

While speaking with News Agency of Nigeria, Igbokwe said “With the recent announcement of ministerial nominees, we were taken aback that in the list so mentioned we have not seen any young person included there.

“We want to appeal to the government to consider getting more young people on board.

“Bringing them close makes them understand the workings of government and make them appreciate government better.

“And also it gives them opportunity to be heard and also contribute their quota”.

Igbokwe observed that it was unfair to exclude youths from actively participating in politics because of their age.

“At the age of 18 years you can vote; yet at the same age, a person cannot be voted for.

“Citizens have to wait for a very long time before they can be eligible to hold public offices.’’

Popular Twitter Activist, Japheth Omojuwa in a tweet also made a strong case for youth inclusion in the list.

In a tweet, he said “I believe there are genuinely competent young people who should have made #TheList , not on account of age but ability. We cannot build tomorrow without the owners of tomorrow.”

Where did you get this from? "So what is 4 that he can't afford after four years of hustling in London"?

Let's do some maths. Taxi drivers make between £500-£800 a week, let's assume his is very lucrative driving football players to trainings and stuff. He will make up to £1000.
That's £26000-£52000 a year. He has to pay the taxi company every week, but fuel, insurance, pay house rent and other domestic expenses.

So you think he could save N10m or around £30k-£40k per year after expenses. Mind you he has to pay tax. So after four years, assuming he landed from Heathrow and started his cab business the following day having mastered all the driving routes from surfing the net in Nigeria or with the aid of his sat nav,He could save N40m or £130k-£135k after hustling for four years??

it's possible GUY !!!

DickDastardly:
They also made the office of the president a "seat of riddicle" by constantly attacking GEJ's person instead of his policies.
Now the person of Buhari has also been constantly shred to pieces by same precedent the APC set in their quest and appetite for political power.
One good turn........

Buhaari is nothing but an illiterate cattle rearing never-do-well samanja of a dumb soldier.

This is not really news worthy but am awareness and need to be stopped because the rate at which these scammers are getting away with the cheap act of extorting money from some naïve youths in the society due to gullibility, frustration and unemployment of these youths is outrageous, annoying and irritating, each time I come accross threads on the following:-
Sugar Mummies Agents
Sugar Daddies Agents
Universities and Tertiary Institutes Agents etc

Makes me feel like I should have a satellite that can hunt each and everyone of them in their various locations...... LOCAL THIEVES

Fellow Nairalanders, (those in despriation of the above, you should be smart enough to know that all these Agent are all hungry, these no such thing here, am sure if these agents get the opportunity to get a sugar mummy or daddy for themselves they will grab it)
If you are so desperate in getting Sugar mummies/Daddies, becareful how you go about it, when it involve sending recharge cards,money into an account etc. Please run (scam alert), as amatter of fact, why should you send money to someone you haven't seen ?

Mr Oluwaseun Osewa, if you come accross this thread. Please, the issue of scamming on here need to be stopped, it's crazy how some lowlife just unlawfully extort their fellow citizens

Thank you
