If you are not a victim, (or perpetrator), run like hell. avoid the area for another 2-3 months, or else they will suck you dry.

flexyonline: Ignorance on display. A professional engr who has passed COREN exams and is registered is required to use the title (engr) before his name.

There is no ignorance here. The professional bodies here in Nigeria just want to make themselves look like cults. Do you find that happening in other countries?

Engineering is a profession. Simple. AND there are many other professions out there

If engineers must use the Engr title, then Architects, Surveyors, Bricklayers, Painters, Scaffolders, Plumbers, Iron benders, Teachers, Drivers, and even market women should all affix their titles before their names.

ballabriggs: Nigerians are not so bright.

If you believe Boko Haram really made that call then you also believe the silly tale of Kabiru Sokoto escaped and was re-arrested.

Look at the history of violence and tell me one that the politicians in power were not involved in. Jonathan knows what is going on. The same way the PDP Governors sponsored criminality and violence in the Niger-delta then is the same thing happening today.

Some say it was freedom fighting, I laugh. I know the genesis of Ateke Tom, Odili and Asari Dokubo. It was state sponsored criminality. The same thing happened when the same people sponsored violence in Onitsha in order to destabilize Peter Obi. The same thing played out in Oyo and Ekiti.

Was Henry Okah saying trash? Was Azazi speaking crap even though he was benefiting from the violence?

When they want it to stop, they will. Till then you all can keep f00ling yourselves.

You, Sir, have earned my respect for being objective.

it has to do with a complex suffered by Africans in general.

If you are sure of your worth, you dont need people to address you with titles to feel important.
The quaity of a man's character/training should emanate from his/her interactions with fellow human beings and not from titles.

Most people brandishing titles about in Nigeria/africa are actually hollow from the inside.

I have seen people in their remedial yr (Law) in d University being called "Barrister"
And stark illiterates bestowed "doctorate" titles by our compromised universities.

And village chieftaincy titles? thats a free-for-all. Just make a few bucks (by hook or crook) and go back and shower the village head and a few kingmakers, voila! you now have "chief" to add to your titles.


It is all in vain.

The real achievement is how much you impact other people's lives positively.

True talk my brother.

Imagine somebody like OBJ that was a bull in a china shop whe he ran Nigeria for 8 yrs, still having the effrontery to open his hereditally ugly mouth and speak about politics and strategising for 2015.

I wonder what he is still looking for.

naptu2: Diezani Alison-Madueke
Minister of Petroleum Resources

Biggest obstacle to corruption fighting presently.

Jonathan promises this,
Jonathan vows that,
FG will soon embark on......
Arrangements have been concluded for.........


Kai!!! Waiting will kill Nigerians

The waste continues.............

The major cases dealt with by d 'police station' in d village are goat/chicken theft,farmland trespassing,poligamy fights. Hoping to make some serious positive impact b4 i leave nxt year...pls feel free to share your experiences

U sure are a graduate? @bolded

Let him resign from his postion as Senate president first, because he got that by virtue of his state of origin.

Bicycle all the way!!!! I think we have became too lazy with the availability of okada.
Advantages of a bicycle include:

->Near Zero Maintenance
->Thorough workout- you will gradulally see improvement in your health and appearance.
->No parking trouble-you can easily push it into your house and lean it on the wall.
->No fuel money, mechanics will not suck you anymore.
->LASTMA, police, road safety, VIO--- all of them will not give you a second glance.
->No number plate, MOT, sticker, radio tax, or whatever.

I think its time for guys to consider Bicyles dealerships and allied businesses

Elueme: Source pls. Stop feeding me with ruse. If it's a gossip news indicate so we know what category of seriousness we attach to the thread.
By the way who is Fashola to seize OBasanjo's utility vehicle? He should know his limit and stop acting james hardly chase

Your statement is freakin' pathetic. Fashola is the CEO and the chief law enforcer of Lagos state. His agents have the right to impound any vehicle driven in contravention of gazetted state laws.
Your kind of thinkong is part of what brought Nigeria on its knees: that laws should apply differently to different kinds of people.

Let fashola auction the murafucking baboon's vehicle and lets see if heavens will fall.

Jubal01: Al dis r d results of our systems failure 2 provyd jobs 4 d youths. God wil deliva us.

Nope. This is a sing of boundless greed, abuse of talent and laziness by our youth. There are many jobless folks out there trying to make an honest living, and it is not got's job to provide jobs for everybody anyway.

Even a 5 year-old can predict flood with the magnitude of rains this year

naijathings: [size=18pt]and now it is time to throw multi mullion naira of tax payers money parties and conferences in the name of welcoming the "first lady".[/size]

And endless full page, color adverts in the print media, and prime time adverts on National TV, all on public funds by heads of ministries/parastatals, and sychopantic CEOs of private companies that feed on govt patronage.

Not ot forget the various groups and associations that will be trooping to Aso Villa and Otuoke to pay "welcome", remember-us visits

feelamong: Welcome back!!! At least now the Price of Garri will start to come down!

Some words are taboo when not in their own threads

Mavor: Am sorry why is this on the front-page? Why are you abusing your admin privileges?

Go and look for the nearest neighborhood transformer

exxell: And to imagine that they hid the drugs in that yellow or white, eatable and drinkable stuff that should not be mentioned on Nairaland..... ..... This is an insult.... We need to protest...

#TeamG

Imagine, now they don dey give the thing further bad name

Too many members. Some only there to "chop" and maintain their relevance.

The rainy season will have passed and the flood waters receded by the time the committee starts to work.

GEj, next committee please.

Politicians will bail them out

He can only "monitor' but was unable to organise free and fair elections

Achebe will forever remain my Hero for rejecting the bastardised National Award.

That goes a long way to show that he is not an attention-seeking mediocre.

His action is the kind of stuff with which great souls are made: reject the glitter and pursue the noble, no matter the consequences.


I pray for more Achebes in this country.

ilugunboy:

Some of us like that shape

Yeah, but too much fat can get freaky.

Indians ke.... India too is going thru power cuts

She is too fat

Im don chop strong person money. Who be mugu now?

Dede1: Local champions are always delighted with beer parlor-styled discussion. This goofy thread is no exception. If Nigerians in Diaspora are bitter about the state of affairs in Nigeria, one can easily conclude without malice that the alleged bitterness is drawn from series of conspicuous dead-end behaviors from Nigerians at home. In addition, the so-called Nigerians in Diaspora have grown to appreciate orderly environment stuffed with social decorum.

In Nigeria, one can not enjoy a quiet moment in his\her ride without bumping into bad roads, wide eyed law enforcement agents, borderline crazies who use the road while blasting away the horn of their vehicles, hawkers on the roads, walking deaths on the roads that will not give right of way to vehicles, elected and non-elected individuals with incessant siren, encountering number of roadblocks by one government agency or another, the menace from idiotic weekend sanitation, loudmouthed dingbats who think they are right while awfully wrong, moronic ninnies driving on the wrong side of the road, unreasonably in hurry while going nowhere, traders taking over the passageways, junks of cars and lorries that could not escape from the gates of junkyards in civilized countries still ply the roads, constant lack of electricity, absolutely no running water, unforeseen menace of kidnappers, armed robbers, ritual predators and religious terrorists, rampant mosquito and snake bites, environmental hazards and social and political idiocy fueled by tribalism.

You, sir, have summed it up. One cant escape being angry if you live in a civilised society and look back at our country and waht it has turned to.

It is called the law of the land. That is why in the US, for example, you cant deny the holo cau st, and you cant be anti-semitic in Israel.
