HealthRe: Lagos Government Willing To Negotiate With Sacked Doctors by norrisman: 5:04pm On May 08, 2012
Unfortunately these 700 doctors missed the boat and should have left those shores long ago. I dont know about the US but until Aoril last year it was quite easy for doctors to apply for a work visa, come in, do their PLAB while doing other jobs to keep body and soul together and thenstart working almost immediately after passing PLAB even if it is just as a locum. Things have changed now and it is more difficult if not nigh on impossible with the current visa regime.

It is a shame that this is what they are rewarded with after staying back and sacrificing for their country.
PoliticsRe: Boko Haram To Bomb Lagos And Abuja In 72 Hours Unless: (Called AIT Editor) by norrisman: 9:24am On May 05, 2012
All the people sitting behing Mac laptops in houses fenced so high and with abokis as security men claiming the will finish BH if they come to Lagos, Benue e.t.c. are morons. If you had the resources to finish BH, why dont u make a proposal to FGN and give a price.

You are all stupid keyboard warriors and your case is akin to that of a school kid who says "slap me and you,ll see what will happen". When he gets slapped, he simply says "slap me one more time and you'll see". He keeps repeating the later statement after every new slap until he becomes deaf or breaks down in tears.

BH mofos have been killing your Xtian 'brethren' in the north since 2009, why do you need them to attack Lagos to show your anger?
FoodRe: What Is Your Favorite Relaxation Drink And Recipe? by norrisman: 10:15pm On Apr 27, 2012
You guys made my mouth water so much, I had to arrange something. My favourite relaxation snack na suya but since that one no dey readily available round here I had to improvise and I settled for some extra hot chicken livers with pita bread and a quarter chicken extra hot all from Nandos. Now washing it down with Heineken mixed with coke.

SportsRe: Naija Street Football: Funny Terms Used by norrisman: 3:51pm On Apr 26, 2012
Shitoe - When you play barefeet and kick the ground when attempting a shot and your big toe bleeds.

O.J.O - when two teams play but attempt to score in the same goal

Deading ball - when two teams cant agree on what to do about a foul so the ball is thrown in the air and two opposing players challenge for it

CelebritiesRe: D'banj Finally Speaks On Mo'hits Split & Don Jazzy's Betrayal by norrisman: 10:47am On Apr 24, 2012
Even British artistes wey hear english havent conquered America.

If Kanye was interested in making money on the African continent, trust me he doesnt need Dbanj to to this. He has the money to influence and lock down the music industry in Africa if he wanted but these guys are aware of piracy and realise they will never make a dime from record sales which for them is the bread and butter. Have you ever seen Soundscan including sales in sub Saharan Africa in their stats? Who in Nigeria or Africa for that matter wants to spend $2 on a single when you can buy an album in 'go-slow' for 50cents.
BusinessRe: $500M Shopping Mall To Be Built In Owerri by norrisman: 12:36pm On Apr 19, 2012
To put things in perspective, Westfield Stratford City and Westfield White City shopping complexes in England were built for approximately $2 billion each.

$500 million sounds a lot for a shopping mall project in Nigeria let alone Owerri.

Wembley Stadium cost about £750 million to build. I would find it interesting if the NFF decided to build a new stadium in Nigeria for a quarter of that amount (c £185 million)
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Why Is Barcelona Always Favoured By Refs? by norrisman: 3:48pm On Apr 18, 2012
Arsenal V Barcelona Champions League Final 2006

Referee sent off Lehmann even though Eto'o scored 1 second after the Lehmann's foul. Arsenal had to play 75 mins with 10 men. Why ruin a spectacle like the CL final with such a silly decision? Because it favoured UEFAlona.

The same situation came up at Wembley on Sunday and the referee sensibly allowed Gareth Bales's goal to stand and both teams had 11 men each left on the pitch.
Car TalkRe: Car Brands/models You Wouldn't Want To Use Ever Again (from Previous Experience) by norrisman: 1:17pm On Mar 30, 2012

Please whe you moan, kindly let us know if your car was bought brand new. Tokunboh cars should not be includd in replies because those cars are usually at the end of their useful lives before they are sent over.

PoliticsRe: Africa Topic by norrisman: 9:37am On Mar 09, 2012
Museveni has been in power for 26 years, just 4 years less than Mubarak ruled Egypt. If Museveni wasnt a yes boy to the west, the story would have been a whole lot different. It would have read something along the lines of: Revolutionary; Joseph Kony fights evil dictator Museveni for the liberation of Uganda. The message from the west is clear, If you are an African, Middle Eastern, South American leader, you can lord over your people for however long you like as long as you tow our line. I'll give some examples:

Yemen - Saleh in power 32 years - friend of the West - protected
Saudi Arabia - Royal family (dictators) - friend of the west - protected
Kuwait - Royal family (dictators) - friend of the west - protected
Qatar - - Royal family (dictators) - friend of the west - protected
Uganda - Museveni in power 26 years - friend of the west - protected
Cameroun - Biya in power 30 years - friend of the west - protected
Equitorial Guinea - Mbasogo - in power 33 years - friend of the west - protected
Burkina Faso - Campaore in power 25 years - friend of the west - protected
Zimbabwe - Mugabe in power 32 years - enemy of the west since he took white owned farms - persecuted
Egypt - Mubarak in power 30 years - friend of the west till the very end when they realised the Egyptian people wouldnt give up - protected
Iran - Ahmedinijad in power 7 years - opposes the west - persecuted
Venezuela - Chavez in power 12 years - opposes the west - persecuted

Ask yourself one question, why do you not hear anything about these protected long serving dictators in the western News. I am sure you know the answer to that.

PhonesRe: Qwerty Or Touchscreen Phones Which Do You Prefer? by norrisman: 10:38am On Mar 03, 2012
JW214:
@op, with due respect sir, I think the title should be: Hard button Qwerty keypad vs Touchscreen keypad, remember, some mobile devices comes with touchscreen Qwerty keypad.
.
There is no such thing as hard button qwerty keypad. In the smartphone world, devices with physical keyboards are known as qwerty devices.
PhonesRe: Qwerty Or Touchscreen Phones Which Do You Prefer? by norrisman: 10:28am On Mar 03, 2012
^^^^^^
This

I like a phone with both. I started off my smartphone romance with a touchscreen (stylus required) only MDA Compact II but since then, I have had qwerty ones namely HTC TyTN II, HTC TouchPro 2 and HTC Desire Z. Touchscreen input is fine for short text, Whatsapp, Twitter entries but when it is something more involved like typing a letter or other long documents, I need a physical keyboard.

The majority of smartphone users are leisure users and mainly use their phones for social media and the likes, not text intensive uses so the smartphone manufacturers cater for their needs. This view is supported by the just concluded Mobile World Congress in Barcelona where the major players introduced new phones but not one qwerty device!

PS
I typed this on the screen of my phone and had to make a correction every 2 words on average.

FamilyRe: 6 Month Old Baby And Pregnant Again. by norrisman: 2:28pm On Feb 29, 2012
moremi2008:
It used to be quite common in those days. Most of the people I know that were born before the 90s had only about 10-16 months spacing. These days, you want 2-3yrs in between children to maintain your sanity, especially outside Naija.
I dont know the kind of people you know o, maybe Ajegunle people or hoodrats but my parents were well enlightened back in the 70s/80s. 5 children and all are 3 years apart: '71 girl, '74 girl, '77 boy, '80 girl, '83 boy.

Get it right, if it is london used, it can't be stolen except the seller lies dat it is london used.
How do you mean if it is London used, it cant be stolen. It is a well known fact that phones stolen or obtained fraudulently in the UK find their way to foreign markets because they are blocked and rendered useless in the UK. Go on Ebay or Gumtree and you will loads of adverts with the caveat ''will only work abroad''
