Jobs/Vacancies / Re: ‘60% Of Nigerian Graduates Are Unemployed’ by occam(m): 4:14pm On Nov 15, 2012 |
Orikinla: Majority of them are unemployed, because they are too Lazy to read and think. You are the lazy bum to think so lowly of the unemployed. People want real jobs in engineering, technology, nursing, teaching etc. Jobs that uplifts individuals while contributing to the development of our nation. The opportunity you mentioned here is garbage and a scam. Luring people to fake seminars and asking them to part with N25,000. 5 Likes |

TV/Movies / Re: Dupsy Abiola, MKO 's Daughter Appearance On Dragons Den UK (Video) by occam(m): 4:54am On Oct 27, 2012 |
cap28: You're quite correct; it's all entertainment. Personally, I find it condescending and patronizing. Couple of rich white folks helping a talented, young, black lady grow her business. Gimme a break! Life just not like that for black folks in any white dominated country. And telling her personal story seems so fake and scripted. Why should any smart business person invest without getting answers to critical questions about revenue generation, plans on getting customers, overhead costs, potential profit etc. Instead the focus is on her personal story. Sourcing for INTERNS through a website? Really! How many businesses will fork out 100 pounds per month just to get access to interns? Even if she gets 100 customers (a highly optimistic number), that's only 10,000 pounds a month. How is this biz going to pay for itself? Clever girl. I think she'll just take the 50k and invest in some other biz. Hopefully, the publicity generated on dragons den may help attract visitors to the site in the short term only. Generating and sustaining traffic to a online business is very EXPENSIVE. Building the web tools and platforms is only the beginning. The whole things looks like a sham designed to attract young black audience for Dragon's den. Period. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Donald Trump Offers Obama $5Million In Exchange For College Records by occam(m): 9:10pm On Oct 25, 2012 |
This Trump's latest stunt is to stroke the racial fire. He's trying to make the usual racial point that Obama is dumb and only got to Harvard because of affirmative action. He also made a statement couple of weeks back that Obama should stop monkeying with the numbers Sarah Palin same thing yesterday with her "shuck & jive" comment yesterday John Sunnunu telling Obama to "learn how to be an American" The right wing racial machine is now in full swing. Sadly, this attempt to play the racial card is working. This may be the deepest racial split in any presidential election. 1 Like |

semid4lyfe: I hate to say this but it seems Obama will be a one-term President 2 weeks ago, I also thought Romney was heading for victory; not anymore. I think Romney may win the popular vote but not electoral college. Obama just needs these states Ohio, Wisconsin, Nevada or Iowa and its game over. Right now, according to polls, Obama has a solid or slim lead in these states. Unseating an incumbent is never an easy task. Obama under performed in his first term, but I'll still give him a C+. This seems to be the overwhelming sentiment: better the devil I know than the angel I don't know |

proO1: The tyranny of the majority is in full swing, and it is disgraceful to say the least. It's now so bad that the obtuse mods had to bar my regular handle from commenting on this topic, because they assumed that my opinion wouldn't sheepishly align with that of the majority! You are entitled to your own view; that's your right. The FACT of this case is simple: A barbaric crowd gathered to kill and burn to death four human beings. Not plank of woods; but human beings. Regardless of the mitigating circumstances, this is UNACCEPTABLE human behavior. There is no rationale for this and we must crush this in our society. Thankfully, the video provided enough evidence to convict the wicked and despicable individuals that took part. 1 Like |

jp philips: You don't get it. do you? This is the outrage most of us feel: That in modern day Nigeria, anybody can still be LYNCHED AND BURNT to death in broad day light. This is a level of barbarism that is truly alien to any civilized society. Also, the inevitable break down of law and order resulting from this barbaric behavior, means people are no longer safe in the streets. The guilt or innocence of those boys is irrelevant. Period That Policemen were actually present when this heinous crime was been carried out is really alarming. 6 Likes |

Mafious: First of all CNN is Pro-Democrat, it belongs to Ted Turner always has been always will be. Not true. Ted Turner sold CNN to Time Warner couple of years ago. CNN reporting has been leaning towards more conservative. Yesterday was a perfect example. 67% on the CNN live blog showed Biden, won while their post debate polls gave it to Ryan by 48%. And immediately the debate ended, talking heads on CNN declared it a draw. Go figure. In any case, all these debates are sideshows and doesn't matter. White Americans are less predisposed to vote Obama anyway. Most believe Romney looks "presidential" and they are comfortable with that. So why did they vote Obama in 2008? Anger against Bush. That's all I predict a razor thin Romney win. Why? Firewall blue states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and perhaps Wisconsin will tip to Romney |

This was a horrific crime against four defenseless boys. The perpetrators must be brought to justice IMMEDIATELY. The community elder who gave the order must be arrested NOW. No decent society will allow this kind of criminality to stand. UNIPORT Students must rise up now to seek justice. Send a strong delegation of your Student Union leaders to meet the Justice and Education ministers. Parents of these boys must demand for justice. We simply can't let this stand! It's A copy of that video must be sent to the Rivers state governor and Justice Minister. If you're in Rivers state, send the video to media outlets so more people can get a sense of the barbaric torture inflicted on these boys Anybody rationalizing this crime by saying these boys are cultist must bury their heads in shame. They don't deserve the horrific ending to their lives. It was 3 minutes of sheer terror and I can't imagine the P.S. We must all sign the online petition, circulating now against lynch mobbing. |

thelastPope: You failed to mention that Churches should stop collecting this kind of money. Churches solicit for donation to different causes. And that's ok. Nigerian churches turn a blind eye knowing and do not question the source of wealth. How can a Bank executive make a personal donation of N45 million and people simply accept. Churches are therefore equally complicit in this sinful act by not rejecting this donation. This is a common practice in Nigeria and we are only hearing about this because the guy is under EFCC investigation and he left a paper trail (i.e. the cheque) |

You said "yeye" traffic. I can imagine what you'd give to get a hundred thousandth of Google's traffic. The whole world knows what it means when they say Google is the "best" website; except for you. Alexa ranking is based on number of visits to the site only. period. Rating the "Best" site is based on many factors, with user experience been the most important. "Best" can be somewhat subjective. User experience on eCommerce site will be quite different from a content only site. Google is not the best site in the world but the most popular |

uceee: Hypocrisy all over the place. People Looking for people to condem for doing the same things they have done. They justify themselves by telling us they did it for different reasons from the ones we are doing them. My guy here found a US Visa useful when he wanted to study abroad. He conveniently forgot that there were plenty of universities in Nigeria offering post graduate education up to Ph.d level. Now he's telling us that US Visas are useless. He probably still travels to the US once in a while for business, pleasure or whatever. But its alright, cos he does not have a "slave mentality" like the rest of us. SMH You nailed it! Nothing wrong in giving birth abroad. The post was simply advising people to pay for services when they get over there. Shikena. Now people are talking about slave mentality. really? |

Politics / Re: Fela Talks On Mko Abiola by occam(m): 3:10pm On Sep 13, 2012 |
revomind: The antecedent of MKO is the crux of the issue. Some of us are unable to reconcile the fact a man with such antecedent became a symbol of a just cause. Sadly, the 1993 election was a choice between an uninspiring, though Knowledgeable Tofa vs a corrupt and charismatic Abiola. MKO's association with the military and as a member of the previous civilian ruling govt(the corrupt NPN) should have elicited greater scrutiny at the time. But it seems Nigerians were willing to forget just so we have a civilian govt at all cost. The 1993 debate between Tofa and Abiola. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPiFHzSi5X4 |

afam4eva: the funny thing is that the same people who respect Fela for his views on national issues will still argue that MKO was a progressive. It just shows that people only accept what they want and discard the rest. Right on bro. That we Yorubas saw MKO as. a messiah is one of the political tragedies of our time. I never trusted the man. He was part of the problem and never changed I guess selective amnesia played a part in elevating MKO to the hero status |

Business / Re: Nigerians Flock To Buy UK Bargains by occam(m): 4:51pm On Sep 12, 2012 |
Can you blame these folks for shopping in London? Nigeria can never be a top manufacturer of household goods & clothing; let's forget that. The opportunity is gone. That ship has sailed. Mexicans, Chinese, Indians and some other Asian Countries have become highly efficient at producing these goods at competitive prices. For instance a lot of goods in Shoprite, except food are mostly imported. So what should we focus on? We still have some competitive advantage in agriculture, food processing and agro allied activities if we get our act together. Producing quality goods require solid Supply chain management, access to finance, well trained workforce, solid infrastructure etc Having a abundance of labour is not an advantage if few are well trained to use modern and complex manufacturing equipment |

shymexx: I don't understand Nigerians sometimes, the guy is just being himself - yet you're hating on him... How about if he fakes it and look stupid, like most Nigerians imitating western culture look to me, then you would label him a faker. Agree the guy can be what he wants but this is a stubborn man set in his own ways. He's not traditional but simply manipulative. He's using the traditional angle to have his way. Too rough at the edges to embrace other ways of doing things It's bad manners to tell your host what you want to eat. If you don't like what was offered just say no. Yam and palm oil? Should a Yoruba man visit an ibo man and insist on eating amala and ewedu? The OP had better let him go to his village and find his bride, He's the sort of guy that will tell the wife he can't baby sit or cook because tradition frowns at it. 2 Likes |
