ichidodo: Bad to worse for d Gunners. Koscielny recieves red by a no contact challenge on agbonlahor(another goof by ref again) . I smell a wallop from aston villa.

Very suprious officiating today IMHO esp for both Villa goals
Throw in a barebones Arsenal substitute bench and we really have a cat among the pidgeons scenario in this match

Debroslink: Arsenal's season is crumbling already. Koscielny's red card, the 1st of the season

Doomsday seer
How can a team's season crumble on the 1st day

1. Sugary Products

Sugar and sugary products are bad not only for your waistline, but for your brain function as well. Long-term consumption of sugar can create a wealth of neurological problems, and it can also interfere with your memory. On the other hand,sugar can also interfere with your ability to learn, this is why it is recommended to avoid pre-baked goods, sugar, corn syrup and products that are high in fructose.

@ op, sugar = carbohydrates
Carbohydrates based meals form the majority of African diets
I look around the black race and ask,is this why many Africans behave like thoughtless beings i.e. people with neurological disorders?
Is it related to our diet?
Just asking
Cause I don't have neurological issues,what about you?

^^^^^^^Congrats bbash, how you wan wash am for we we on this thread?

SAT1: Yeah! I transfered ma Tuition fee last week, I bougth ma pounds from black market at #252/£. The guy paid d money into my dommy after which I did a local naira transfer to his account too. I then did FX transfer of d 13,500£ to my Sch's Barclays Bank account in tranches of 6000, 4500 and 3000£. You can also do same but be ready to pay transaction charges through ur nose, the charges are crazy man (I used gtb and incured d following charges: 0.5% of the whole money as commission, 5% of the commission as VAT, 12£ per transaction as Offshore charges, #4000/transaction as for telex). The charges migth not be a big deal to u anyways but it was to me as the whole money was from my sweat.

By d way, why would you wanna use someone else's dommy? It takes only 24hrs to open one for ur self at gtb ma guy. Open one fast and tell d guy to pay d money into it for you. Its better that way, aside from prevent u from high BP, ur money would also be refunded directly into ur personal dommy if need be in the long run.


Hope this helps.

Word up SAT1, you seemed to have gone AWOL from this thread
I saw you say in an earlier page of this informative thread, that you'd submit your application today
How did it go then?

As of today, I was quoted 248 naira to buy a pound [243 if I was selling] by my aboki currency dealer
My current account reference issue has cleared and I'm about to open a dom acct
Would have loved to open a dollar denominated one only that it won't fly because I'm going to transact in pound sterling
I still don't get why I can only do dollar transactions with a dollar acct, Euro txns with an Euro acct etc.

Now the saleslady has hit back, speaking anonymously to Sunday newspaper SonntagsBlick, she said ‘I wasn’t sure what I should present to her she came in on the afternoon of Saturday July 20 so I showed her some bags from the Jennifer Aniston collection.
‘I explained to her the bags came in different sizes and materials, like I always do. ‘She looked at a frame behind me. Far above there was the 35,000 Swiss franc crocodile leather bag. ‘I simply told her that it was like the one I held in my hand, only much more expensive, and that I could show her similar bags.

Seems so many commenting have comprehension issues
A potential customer asks for an item ,you decline that it is much more expensive and offer cheaper ones
Hmmn!
If this isn't damage control, tell me what it is
Is this not the same Switzerland where laws have been enacted banning refugees from select public space and utilities?
Its not racist , only that she saw this black women enquiring abut very expensive bag and concluded she could not possibly afford it
Some of this white people believe everyone is so gullible

pastor prosper :
Author of this is thread go and hug NIPP power plant. The church is marching on and foools like u can do nothing about it.

Religious bigot, it seems you read your bible upside down
Did you read the article at all
Did he not mention NASFAT
Only that religious organisations especially churches are the biggest logjam contributors
God is not a lawbreaker
Jesus was not while on earth
Why are you?

omenka: It realy hurts me no end to see this country adrift as she curently is. We deserve far better than this, haba! What exactly is this government up to?? Do they realy have any plans to fix anything??
Nothing seems to be working at the moment. Absolutely nothing!!!

Yet day in day out, we are bombarded by press releases from Abati and co, berrating the opposition for this or that. I'm realy sick of this government.

We can't afford to continue along this trajectory and expect anything positive. Something has got to give!

I wrote this on this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1393951/african-development-bank-report-political#17380369 , and believes it is relevant to the current discussion
Please note, it is not a denigration of the person of the president
It is just that his abilities and capabilities are dwarfed by the position he occupies

GEJ reminds one of Macbeth
Written by Shakespeare between 1603-1607 it is still yet one of the darkest and most powerful tragedies written by man
This man got the presidency by been wily and crafty not by been prepared and visionary
The corrosive psychological and political effects produced when deception rather than ability is chosen as a way to fulfil the ambition for power is now plain for us all to see
You might agree or disagree with my viewpoint, yet without vision the leader[s] will run a country aground
Even the good book says the blind leader will only lead those following into a ditch
Read the transformation agenda and tell me if vision inspires you and strikes at your heart
Obasanjo, as much as I loathe his overbearing corrupt nature was right, You can help someone to get a job,but you CANNOT help that person to do his job
And the simple truth is governing Nigeria as president is beyond the ability of its current occupant at this point in time

Thank you Omenka for this thread
The President is busy issuing press releases against the APC because he was indirectly told that he's been a non starter so far when Akande called him a kindergarten president
This are stong words but not out of place
People are dying like chickens up north
Roads [esp federal ones] are death traps
The 'so called' economic growth is not reflecting in the life of the average citizen
Revenue is daily been lost to oil vandals
University students went on strike just as the polytechnic students resumed from their and all the president could think of was castigate the opposition for calling him [not the office he holds] names
Do you expect the opposition to say you smell like roses [even if that is the truth which currently is not?]
With all the challenges confronting Nigeria all he could do was that?
Delusion has no other name IMHO
But when one is idle even when you have tasks to do, what do you expect?
God bless Nigeria

Thanks Agrippa
Your contribution nails it
The sooner it happens, the better

I've always known from my teenage years that any Governor who'd fix Lagos would be castigated and crucified for soe decisions he'd take
Fashola is no saint but so too are many of his critics
Which Nigerian party or governor has an active currently implemented policy toward the poor?
Even from those people castigating him, how many show kindness to the poor?
How many from those do not look down at them?
It is not that I support Fashola's action toward the vulnerable even as he is implementing the law but many of us do worse even in our private actions and endeavours when we encounter the have nots
Yet poverty and impoverishment is what many a politician have bequeathed to this nation since 1999
And so many of us, regardless of our duplicitous rage against Fashola truly don't give a phuck, that is just the truth

The president's reply validates Akande's claim
People are dying like chickens up north
Roads [esp federal ones] are death traps
The 'so called' economic growth is not reflecting in the life of the average citizen
Revenue is daily been lost to oil vandals

don_90: I've just got a message stating that a decision on my tier 4 visa application has been made...so I am going to collect my passport in 2 hours...wish me luck guys..dunno why I have a bad feeling about this

No need to wish you any 'luck' cos the decision has already reflected on your passport
BTW,dem give you the Visa?
Congrats

don_90: Just got my tier 4 visaaaa !!!! Thank you alot justwise for your great contribution.. cant wait to get my masters degree and get back to my home country..wish me luck

Why you come get bad feeling before you go collect your visa
Na wa for you O!
Congratz again sha
Rock UK jejely even though na masters you dey go read

FLYFIRE: You all can rant & hate all you want here on NL, but we well-meaning Nigerians know where we were when your people ruled & where we are today that sincere people are in government...FRESH AIR. And by God`s special grace...WE WILL NERVER GO BACK TO YOUR WISHES.

So sad
Nigeria the urban jungle where the barbaric nature of men reigns
Premeditated murder at its best

HNosegbe: I don't know why this administration feels the need to respond to every single report, as if this is what they were elected to do.

The ADB report clearly covers a fifteen-year period from 1996-2010. To label such a report as "political" smacks of daftness induced by paranoia.

GEJ should stop wasting precious time lashing out at real or perceived enemies and focus on issues of governance.

Deliver on your mandate like you promised Nigerians, or get out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat.

What do you expect of and from a government which is afraid even of its own shadow?
Even though this report points to a 15 year window, recall that the PDP has held sway for 14 of those years

NL makes you realise there are do many dumb buttoms out there
Imagine calling Airtel CC to complain that a BLACKBERRY subscription is not working on an ANDRIOD phone
Instead of reading through the thread to understand how to go about it
You run to Airtel CC and you then you open a NL thread to validate your stewpidity

cyclops4real: shey starcomms still dey exist?

Starcomms is so 1962
The GSM networks seem to be the best for browsing right now and ISP's like Swift
Don't know about IPNX which was very fast between 2009-2011

BTW,is your acct domiciled in pounds or dollars?
A friend advised dollar domiciliation in that dollars are easily to source in funding one's account (though if I may add,more susceptible to flunctuations than other major currencies too)

Kindergarten President

peddy231: R I P Bright,your last wish will surely be honoured by God's grace.

How
By wishes and prayers
Nah,his relatives and all those injured by that policeman who went amok should sue the bottom off the NPF through institutions like the publuc defender (seeing the chap was indigent)
Let them do it collectively
That the police do not effectively train their men doesn't mean the society have to pay for it

fabby26: That's the reason they keep on discovering new things and innovations. Don't you know some of the invention you're now enjoying took some pple(whites)s' lives, risks,finances and time before they materialised. Oyibo men will never stop daring and risking. It's in them

This has nothing to do with been fearless nor invention
Just darn plain stewpidity on display
The creator wasn't displaying such attributes by placing both creatures in different habitats
Man exhibits his dominion on this planet using his spirit and brain cells
There is a reason why sharks are predators
Don't go finding out in its belly

Hope this helps.

Yeah it does help
From your breakdown,my quick take is that you paid about £172-180 pounds for bank charges along with the 4k telex money
Eventually that knuckles down to about 255.3 naira for a pound

Currently,I'm having some issues regarding my current a/c references (which has stalled my ability to open a dom acct) that's why I seek to go through someone to wire the chedah
That apart,I heard this bank's have diff crazy charges on dom acct
However I eventually do it,I'll post it here for others to gain insight

That apart,you na big boi
£13,700 pounds tution in about a week to oyinbo for student visa
Chai,maga don truly pay
Multiply that by the tens of thousands like you and me going to UK for studies along with our living expenses in tow and know that the joke is on us
We develop our former colonialist's local economy on his ungrateful terms and conditions because of the joke this nation currently is due to imbecilic governance
Shame

Dear Micheal Young,Nigeria is not a country
Why should I stay back in the cesspit your forebearers created for administrative convinence
A cesspit with no regard of the people who live therein
Phuck you sir
Hope no hard feelings

Anyone here who just paid either accommodation or tuition in the past week [or of recent] through money transfer?
Please how much did you pay per pound? As in the exchange rate you used in your trnasfer
I want to make some payments through someone's Dom account [for a fee] and would like to have a fair working estimate before I do anything through him so e doesn't rip me off
Thank you

From the reactions so far most of what I see here are attacks on the messenger so as to deflect from the message
El Rufai only gave voice in public to what many Nigerians have known in private;thay the Ijaws are pursuing an underground secessionist agenda with the proceeds of stolen oil wealth.
That and the inability of Ebele Jonathan to rise above provincial ethnic leadership as the presidenytis the main points he raised.
That is what we should discuss instead of attacking him a a person
