Chatters: You must be out of your mind to think the way you do. How can you offer such a useless advice. We have only heard from the OP. We must need to hear from the wife too. For all I know there's no smoke without fire.

There's no point hearing the wife's side as long as she has admitted to have built the house. Whatever her husband must have done doesn't warrant this. Why should a wife keep such thing away from her husband...even with the connivance of their pastor? Sending her away isn't the best solution though. But I see no need probing beyond necessary in this case.

What's going on in here?

nadia_SA:

Any problem?

nadia_SA: We (women) taking over!

You and who?
From where to where?

I think I've read this news before now. Is this a stale news being recycled?

If my hands shouldn't be on the table, how and what should I use to eat? This is arrant nonsense.
If I should follow this list, then i have resorted to pretentious living!

This is sad

Having a mental picture of the scenario sends a shiver down my spine.

I agree with the poster who describes it as a blessing in disguise. Perhaps it's a clarion call after all. But I also feel we should show them we aren't subservient as they think. Anyone who can afford the bond fees should feel free to visit each other but it will sure ensure a decline in Nigerians' travel rate to the UK.

i no see anything jare

This is a good move as far as am concerned. We need to show them we aren't spineless. We cannot continue to be docile and subservient!

Cameroun Finally Takes Control in Disputed Bakassi

15 Aug 2013


Five years after an agreement with Nigeria, the Republic of Cameroun Wednesday took full sovereignty over the disputed Bakassi Peninsula, signalling the end of a bloody conflict over the land.

“The transitional period in the Camerounian peninsula of Bakassi has come to an end,” said the Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Nigeria formally ceded Bakassi to Cameroun on August 14, 2008, bring to an end 15 years of border conflict.

A United Nations-backed period of transition agreed by the two countries followed to allow Cameroun to develop an administrative presence in the area.

Nigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs II, Nurudeen Mohammed, said the government had taken note of the landmark date.

“This has been going on for 10 years. We are aware. We are part of the process,” he said.

The peninsula, in the west of the country, was formerly part of Southern Cameroun, itself an area of Nigeria, until inhabitants voted to join Cameroun in 1961.

It has around 40,000 inhabitants, including many Nigerian expatriates.
Based on the formal take over of the peninsula by Cameroun, Nigerians living in the peninsula will now have to apply for a visa or apply for Camerounian citizenship, and Camerounians will have to register with the tax authorities.

Mohammed said a committee had been set up to address a range of citizenship issues.

In October 2002, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Bakassi, a 1,000-square-kilometre (386-square-mile) patch of Atlantic coastal swamp, was part of Cameroun, not Nigeria.

Cameroun originally took its claim over the sovereignty of the potentially oil and gas rich peninsula to the court in 1994.

Nigeria relinquished any hope of legally reclaiming Bakassi last October, when the 10-year period to appeal the ICJ’s ruling expired.

The decision not to appeal sparked wide media criticism in he country, including from local leaders who alleged that Nigerians in Bakassi had been abandoned by the federal government.

Rights groups have warned that Nigerians in Bakassi face discrimination.
Much of the tension surrounding Bakassi stems from the belief that it is resource-rich.

Large chunks of the area have been gazetted for exploration, but energy firms have typically stayed clear given the uncertainty on sovereignty.

The area has also been a prime target for Nigerian pirates due to its proximity to the unstable but oil-rich Niger delta region, where attacks and kidnappings are common.

In 2009, the Camerounian government stepped up its fight against the pirates by deploying an elite army unit to Bakassi, and by later establishing five military bases there.

Hogwash!
Just flash the cash and stop wasting precious time.

Hello everyone. I applied for the Fundamental Internship Programme at C&F Porter Novelli and got an invitation to be interviewed. I'd appreciate substantial information as to what their interview looks like and general information as regards the organisation from anyone who has them. Is there anyone who has gone through their ranks before or any candidate with intel.
Please help.
Many thanks.

This news item is fake and unfounded. The Commissioner for Education in Ekiti isn't Mrs. Ayinmoche anymore. It is Mr. Adebayo Kehinde Ojo now; former principal of Christ's School. Ekiti isn't referred to as 'Fountain of Knowledge' anymore. It's Land of Honour now.

Op, you prolly dug this news out in a bid to ridicule Ekiti State. Get your facts right next time before posting crap.

And yes, I'm from Ekit!
Thanks.

maclatunji: Speaking good English has little to do with your accent. Kofi Annan and Wole Soyinka don't speak with foreign accents but do speak good English.

Talking about speaking good English as an indicator of quality education or intelligence, I have to say that in countries where English is the language of instruction in schools, this is largely true. For example, I can tell fairly accurately how intelligent how one is just by reading their 'English' on Nairaland.

You have laid bare my mind!
You succinctly hit the nail on the head!
Gracias!

micki83: I hear nigerians say this a lot,but it makes absolutely no sense to me and I think it's complete balderdash! If u can speak it,then u can definitely write it(except if u never learned how to read and write).do u mean to tell me that someone who verbally says something like: "I have never eaten at an indian restaurant b4,but I wuld luv to try it", wuld write: "I has never ate at a indian restaurant b4,but I am luv to tried it"?

You dey mind them?

So many people in here are just trying to justify their lack of proper communication skills and grasp of the English Language. I have a degree in English Language so I know what this is all about. I'm not up for arguments but some posters before me have been able to speak my mind to a large extent. If you cannot communicate in English; which is the language of Nigerian education system and lingua franca, the how will you tell the world all you have learnt?
