it's a mental health condition. When the individual is at a state called neurosis, he /she needs immediate rescue before it degenerates to Psychosis; other words known as madness!

BushidoBlue:
Ok no more talk, show us your own "prototype"
You see a boy of that age create something and your first response was to show your naked self in the shower getting drunk and laughing at your ignorance while displaying your "I know it all mentality".
Were you there to see it fly?

Omambala1:
stop dignifying that Anu'Mpama with a response.

Okay i'm sorry guys, the prototype flies. Infact it even flies for more than 2 hours depending on wind speed and atmospheric pressure. You win!

UmuEri:
you really need cognitive re-constructuring

Tell me about it

Lvlink:
please stop this, the boy needs encouragement, and not mockery. Everybody has a right to believe whatever he/she wanna believe

Why cant you understand my point?... The boy isn't here on nairaland, I am not in any way mocking the boy; go back and read my responses on this thread.

dougivilla:
Would, shall, may, must; proposed, intend to, plan to etc. Another statement in future tenses as usual. Campaigns ended many months ago.

The administration is 2 months old, this isn't the time to expect commissioning. The projects we look forward to aren't instant 2 minutes noodles. So yes, as humans, the only thing that keeps us going is 'hope,' the hope that these projects would come to pass in due course.... and may I add that I am more inclined to believe this government in 'some areas' than past governments.

Omambala1:
hide your head in shame. Does it matter whether it fly's for 2hours or 2seconds? The question is, has any member of your generation constructed a wheelbarrow?

I don't have a problem with the boy constructing a helicopter prototype, I find that rather impressive for a boy of his age. But where I have a problem is with the Op who claims the prototype flies for 2 hours, and then he goes ahead to tout it as a technological achievement of Igbos. I am Igbo by the way, and I find that rather embarrassing for an adult to say that.

Omambala1:
for a boy of that age, yes it is.

You must be an old f..ool

You are the foool for believing that the prototype flies for 2 hours, you don't even deserve a response for your buffoonery.

engrkenny:
Never heard anyone flew from Enugu to China before. Also heard [size=13pt]that airport doubles as a seaport during rainy season[/size]. I will be the last person to defend political self aggrandizement.

Kaiii... that's harsh

With the way Ateke keeps fraternising with nollywood stars on a daily basis, I predict that he would feature in a movie very soon

UmuEri:
jealousy kills like wild fire. You need help!

I don't need help, you are the one who does for happily believing and spreading the news that this prototype flies for 2 hours

Lvlink:
stop being jealous, at least appreciate. The boy needs encouragement.

Naaa, I'm not discouraging the boy, it's actually a very impressive project for a young kid; some of our university graduates can't even develop something close to this. But I am rather amused at the Op who claims the helicopter flies for 2 hours non-stop.

..and I find it rather embarrassing that the Op boasts of this as an Igbo technological advancement.

UmuEri:
Despite the continued operations by the Nigerian gov't, the Igbos continues to improve technologically.
An Mbaise boy from Imo state has invented a flying Helicopter that can last more than 2hours on air.

The real clown isn't the boy who designed and constructed this tincan toy, the real clowns are those people who are gathered around watching in amazement and the biggest clown is the Op of this thread who in wild excitement, is amazed at the 'marvellous technological ingenuity' of the little mbaise boy and is very proud to showcase this thing as an Igbo achievement.

Probably this is what nnamdi would use to kill every single person in the zoo in the fullness of time

A lot of foreigners are simply sceptical about investing their money in Nigeria because of the stinking level of corruption especially at the top. I mean, foreign investors could bend their rules when it comes to corruption from little fishes at the bottom, but when it comes to blatant, glaring shameless institutionalised corruption from the big bosses at the highest offices, that situation scares the living hell out of big foreign investors. I will never forget the statement made by Virgin's Richard Branson when he packed his bags and left Nigeria for good. Nothing could be more embarrassing.

But I'm sure with a renown Buhari and the media and publicity he receives as a no-nonsense hater of corrupt practices, the investors who have been patiently watching and waiting would definitely flock in pretty soon. We are definitely in better days and it doesn't matter whether some people like it or not.

I think this is a good idea. But it should be run by private corporations please.

whirlwind7:
Trust the media to deny public officials and their relations their needed privacy.

The man just became NNPC boss, and his wife gets an unnecessary exposé.... Now it's his daughter's turn.

All righty...buckle up for more gossip this coming weeks. Lets wait for items on his aunt, nieces and nephews, sons and uncles....and dont forget their hired helps too!

Congratulations, by the way...and kindly shield your baby from them paparazzis. They got nothing better to do nowadays.

Hahaha... The media has turned the man into a celebrity overnight. This is obviously not unconnected with the ethnic based circumstances surrounding his appointment. It has just made the man much more popular.

Okay... food has come for the haters of the wailers' fold...

Bon appetit and easy on the insults!

I would have voted for her any day.... She's on a totally different league.

bolaino:
Barcanista spins Dangerous Propaganda stories, and it's obvious from a Political perspective that He has a Grudge against this Present administration, and I believe that Going about carrying untruths about this administration is not the right way. Trying to make PMB look stupid is not good. It's callous and it's not justified.

But isn't that what politics is all about?.. not the untruths though but the spins and the propaganda?

APC should also think of grooming a 'Barcanista' on nairaland whose ONLY job should be to counter every PDP spin/propaganda in an intelligent way. That's exactly what was done before they won and this isnt a time to relax and lazily shout 'wailers.' That was exactly what PDP did, relaxing and screaming 'GEJ till 2019' and it led to their loss.

I think Barcanista's topics always make the frontpage because he takes his time to come up with thorough (though biased and lopsided) analysis of situations.

What Barca does is simply the beauty of democracy, he's a pdp e-warrior and he seems like someone who has no other job than to dig up info and string up some beautifully nonsense arguments.

..and yeah, his lopsided stories always make the frontpage because he spends good time and energy to make them look beautiful.

OfoIgbo:
Aisha Buhari was also mentioned so I look forward to her being prosecuted, found guilty and sent to jail also

Lol... dont get too excited... The Aisha mentioned in that report is not Buhari's wife, but rather a fraudulent front used in transfering some of the funds.

AtlanticBreeze:
Buhari can never wash himself away from the toga of Bigot, tribalist and terrorist. Nothing will ever impress me about this government

The idea was never to impress you... No one expects you and ilk to be impressed.

Staunch catholic with all the juju wey the man carry for body and the 2 wives

The man must be a don!

Now that's a colourful city... No dirty brown roofs littering the skyline. It would be nice if they fix some street lights and mark the roads though.

The bolded can never happen.
Top managers in Nigeria would be fucccking lucky to make as much as 80k usd (after tax) per annum!

I am sure you left Nigeria a long time ago, or if you still live in Nigeria, I'm sure you mingle in the very wrong circles for you to be this ignorant of the present situation of things.

FYI, a lot of top managers (even in banks) earn way more than that in Nigeria.

Seun and Lalasticlala must hear this..

GEJ totally lacked the required grip and authority to rule a nation like Nigeria.

With the kind of indisciplined and intimidating thieves occupying high places, Nigeria needs a leader who asserts authority and who's willing and able to step on big toes. Jonathan absolutely lacked this quality but rather had a 'meek/gentle' mien which totally isn't what Nigeria needs at this time.

From left, right and centre, everyone close to authority in Nigeria just kept looting indiscriminately but Jonathan was just too scared to even allow EFCC do their job.

Ethnic/tribal sentiments is truly worse than ebola; I find it very strange and embarrassing that up till now, I have hoards of friends who still believe GEJ was not only a good and fit leader, but also the BEST thing that ever happened to Nigeria but was voted out simply because he was a minority. It's just a shame that we have a large number of people who reason like this in Nigeria.

May God help us recover from this mess.

clevadani:
I've been asking this question for sometime and it seems no PDP member can give me a reasonable answer.
How did subsidy jump from 300bn to 1.9tn in 6 mths.

Petroleum minister and petrol importers saw that the oga ontop was clueless, naive and weak. So they simply had a nocturnal meeting and decided to scam GEJ. And guess what?.... GEJ fell for the scam TOTALLY even against the loud warnings of NOI and Sanusi Lamido at the time.

Since GEJ was too weak to deal with the scammers (even though he knew he was being scammed), Lamido and NOI had to advise him to completely remove fuel subsidies if he couldnt face the cabals and GEJ happily chose the option of punishing 170 million Nigerians because he was afraid of touching the less than 30 people subsidy cabal..... and that is the sort of authority-less individual that some humans wanted to continue ruling for 9 years.. Tufiakwa!... God loves us more!

dokiOloye:
in American English,it is "beyond" but in English English,it is "beyound".
Just like d Americans will write "favor" instead of "favour".
Oya,say thank U sir.

huh!?... 'beyound' is that french or belgian or yoruba?... cos it's definitely not english (uk or us)...

Stop exposing more of your crass ignorance on public.

dokiOloye:
Much respect to d CBN governor Emefiele.
I know that d cow rearer from Daura can NEVER originate such an idea.
It's way beyound his scope.

..and this is exactly the reason why I voted the 'dullard'. Because all I wanted was a no-nonsense leader who could appoint smart people and ALLOW them do their jobs without corruptly or cluelessly medling.

The same Emefiele worked under GEJ and he was the one who had to officially devalue the naira from 150 to 200. But the same Emefiele (because he now has a better boss) is the one supervising the rise of the naira and the speedy fixing of the problem.

Just the same way the same NOI worked under OBJ and grew Nigeria's economy from zero to greatness, that same NOI worked under GEJ and all she could achieve was a plundering of the entire financial resources of Nigeria and leaving us in massive debts even though the country enjoyed massive oil income boom under GEJ's 5 years.

More than ever before, I now understand the importance of having a good oga at the top. I can bet my life that even if PMB retains all Jonathan's ministers, those non-performers would suddenly become shining stars.

I still cannot understand however, why any sane person cannot see how GEJ's lack of leadership grip and authority was ruining this country. As a matter of fact, GEJ supporters still flaunt this his meekness as a good quality, meanwhile it is the worst quality required of a 'Nigerian' leader.

Jarus:
LOL. This will generate controversy.


But this should be clear: this is for IRK classes. It's like recommending a book for Biology. If you don't take Biology in the first place, you don't have any business with the book.

Simple!... The matter is as simple as ABC for anyone who has half of a brain. But I'm sure a lot of people would start losing sleep while others would be rejoicing ("I told you" over this non-issue.

Holyman3:
Yea, I am aware the north has three zones, and so is the south too.
I also know that the population of the south is higher.
One would expect a fair sharing formula here.

So, out of 12 appointments, the north are directors in 10 of them.
And you think this is fair in any way?
It's not really about the appointments, it is also about who does what.

Why do you keep contradicting yourself in a bid to sensationalise this issue?... Kindly name the 12 appointments and the 10 northerners.

Hmmm.. Didn't know they had rain up north, strange!
