It is good to dream, but let us dream sensible dreams.

The earlier the better...... we need to come back to our senses

Nice try,Zenith public affairs. You are not parting me with my naira. Zenith shares my foot!!!

Never knew we have so many drunkards in Nairaland. Now this explains all the puerile posts we see here everyday.

Se dem dey sack people wey dey sleep on duty?

He looks clownish in an all-black outfit. OR somebody in bereavement. and that funny cap to match.
Even Ghaddafi will be amazed by GEJ's wardrobe preference

Movingcoil: y ar dz muslims supporting this islamists terrorists? Am stil confused why why why, the french are bombing the islamists terrorists not innocent people or are they innocent people?

And how do you define the T- word? must every fighter remotely linked to Islam bear that brand? Must Islam's name be mentioned in the T- title?

-Why was Brevik (who killed close to 100 people in Norway) not a Christian T?
-Why was the guy who rammed a taxi into a plane on the tarmac at Calabar airport and claimed he was sent by Jesus not called a T by the media?
-Recently a guy killed 20 defenseless children (nay babies) and their five teachers in an elemntary school, and his official title from the media was not a T.
-John Holmes opened fire in a theatre in Aurora last year, killing a number of moviegoers, and he was not branded the T-word.
The only time you hear the T-word is when a muslim is involved. International conspiracy to identify the Noble religion with the bad acts of a few people, mostly ignorant of the the Religion's teachings.

And follow-follow guys like you are ignorantly echoing the global obfuscation of our intellects by the Capitalist Military-Industrial Machine.

All your points are excellent ways we can curb corruption. But the establishment in Nigeria will never allow any single one of them to be implemented bloodlessly.

Revolution is the only way.

This is to all folks wishing for Pakistani-style drone attacks in Nigeria.
If you think the strikes will be limited to the North when they start, have a rethink.
They have more interest in the south (where the oil is, presently).
And dont think think you will be immune to the effects, when the devastation begins.

May be thats what we need to give a shot to our unity: A common enemy.

Doctor, go into column writing. You ar well qualified for that too

The beautilly amazing thing is that she is still sitting down on her own.

Some folks break down in their 50s or 60s--especialy in Naija here with so much chemical food, stress, anxiety, get-rich-quick syndrome, etc

They dont sell vehicles from the air.

Pics and VIN or GTFO

BlueMurder: I'm sure you were hoping fervently for this to happen so that you could rush here in unholy haste and insult Islam and its adherents, on the basis of the actions of a few whose identity you know next to nothing about. No doubt, doing that always gives you multiple orga.sms.

So, when are you bringing the next one?

Bros, silence is the best answer to these Ignoramuses. Many of them are not even true christians. I believe no true christian will insult other religions.

Allah will fulfill His Light even if the Mushrikoon detest.

[quote author=O.M.E]I think its abacha...he is one of the people that made Nigeria indebted to other countries...[/quote]Wrong. The Naira had the best value. and foreign reserves were at the highest during his time. He was allergic to foreign condition-laden loans and donations too.

Lets be factual

--I can wake up and grab the nearest hanging gown and swing it over my head and go out without bathing, washing or pressing, and still blend in.
--Local delicacies (which wil look unhygienic in the city) gulped without a damn.
--Being updated with the latest village gists (the witch by the stream has claimed her 9th victim, mr so-so is rumored to be dating another man's wife, etc.)
--From one end of the village to the other- 10 minute motorcycle ride.

On the negative side: people that will be swarming your house for their own share of the "National Cake"

Obnoxious display of vanity.

Techwriter: When an American want to win election
He tries to show how he is not too different
From the ordinary citizen
It is called identification

When a Nigerian wants to win election
He hires thugs to intimidate people and show how powerful he has become in comparison with the ordinary masses
It is called intimidation

Now life is intimidating them with sicknesses and death
That picture was not photoshoped I saw it on Obamas facebook page before the election

Yeah Obama also had a burger at a local joint in the heat of the campaigns.

Now imagine Jona boy stopping by Tantalisers, Mr. Biggs or even the corner mama put to eat.

Will tha be possible in our lifetime?

Inova: Guys I can't believe you did understand what martyns303 meant. He meant Arnold was exuding humility. How many of our former governors can behave like that.

The thinking is different.

Most Africans are always afraid of going back to poverty, develop complexes, and always look for ways to project affluence.

Europeans/Americans don't even have that on their mind. They just look for what they want, not out to impress/intimidate anybody.

yesman: Hi, I'll be visiting the states where I intend to buy a used BMW X5 2002/2006 model and have it shipped to Naija. I'd like to know from current owners or those of you familiar with this car:

1. I noticed that this car is not popular on Nigerian roads, is it because of the cost or high maintenance? Or is it highly sought after by thieves?

2. What are the differences between 2002,2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 models (can't afford beyond that) as they seem to be within similar price range?

3. What should I consider as ideal mileage?

4. This will be my only car as I'm getting rid of my current, would it be ideal to use for another 4-5 years?

5. How much will routine servicing cost? Will I be able maintain it on my salary (i earn N400k/mth)

I'd appreciate valuable info from you guys before taking the plunge.

It isnt popular becuaseof the prohibitive maintenance costs..... I have a friend that went to coscharis for routine servicing and they submitted a quote of close to 800k. and 300k alone for registration.. becuase he did not buy the car from them.

Take it to the roadside mechanics and they will mess it up for you.

If you have another car, u can go for it because of the technology and comfort. But be prepared to park it forever in the future or sell it at a giveaway price.

aribisala0: how high ?? as in Cocoa house high or empire state building high or Like Snoop Dog High??

I find it "highly" irritating this laboured use of incongruous words

Hahaha... they like using pompous words irespective of their comprehension

Most comments here are made with the cobweb of partisanship covering the commenters' minds.

To date Buhari remains the the person with the most integrity among Nigerian leaders.

Only an upright person like him can take care of the vultures feeding on the carcass of corruption and inefficiency in the Country.

okosodo: Arabs too like propaganda

How do you know who is telling the truth and who is lying?

otokx: Each time one is shot all the others run away.

Robbers are the ultimate cowards. They always fight a one-sided battle. They have to out number, outgun or outwit their victim. Once they have the slightest inkling that the balance of the scale is about to tip, they take to their heels.

Thats why I support gun licensing in Naija so we can be sending the morafuggas to h*ll one at a time.

Where is ajegunle , oshodi, ojota refuse dump, ? U dont just judge a city by a one sided picture album

Discovery of Oil is the single most destructive thing to befall Nigeria

speeka: Hello N/landers,
I just bought a golf 3 with engine capacity of 1.6,without Aircon.But am considering fixing an aircon
on the car,but pple say its not advisable as it could damage the engine since it didnt come with it.

pls is there anyone in the house who has done this before and was there any effect on the engine.

i need your advice pls.the car has all the ac controls.

I did the same with a Golf 3 that has a bigger engine, and got nothing but a cocktail of problems.

Increased fuel consumption, frequent problems with the installed a/c, and possibly early engine problems.
