Autos / Re: Puchase Your Clean Vehicle From Cotonou @ Cheaper Rate by ogmyth: 10:58pm On May 03, 2015
Make sure you are getting the right vehicle.
This seems obvious, but you could wind up an unhappy car owner if you haven't thought carefully about how many people and how much luggage you need to carry, a car not properly inspected can be your worst nightmare.
Cars are built better now than in the past, so used cars or certified used cars make a lot of sense. You could use voomcert for certified cars (www.voomconnect.com/voomcert) or at our facebook page www.facebook.com/voomcert.

Nairaland / General / Welcome To Smile Communication (frown) by ogmyth: 11:22pm On Nov 07, 2014
Well Smile (FROWN) 4G LTE is guaranteed 100% to make you frown. There is absolutely nothing to make you smile about the Frown (Smile) 4G LTE. I bought the Mi-Fi router on November 1, 2014, for N16,000 and it comes with a 5GB data bundle, notwithstanding my views that the router is over-priced, l still went ahead with the purchase. On the first day of use l consumed 2.2GB data, please bear in mind l started using the router around 8pm, as l needed to fully charge the Mi-Fi before use as instructed. I did a 10 minutes Viber call, checked my email and notifications on Facebook (mind you l don't post pictures on Facebook) and abracadabra 2.2GB consumed. I went on Nairaland and found out that l need to reduce my data speed to conserve my data: but, people whats the point If l have to reduce my speed to 1Mbps to conserve data, most GSM providers offer similar speed, I get up to 1Mbps on my Airtel 3.75G and l need not break the bank to pay for data. Nonetheless, l reduced my speed to 1Mbps and l was still able to consume 7GB of data in 7 days, without streaming videos or video calls, then l called it quit. I just bought a data bundle for my Airtel 3.75G; 4.5GB@N3,500...l went on browsing and streaming spree to see how fast my data will be consumed, watched 30 minutes of video on YouTube...checked my data balance...still have about 4.27GB, meaning l have roughly consumed about 230MB something that is not possible with Frown (Smile) 4G, mind you l have never exhausted my 4.5GB on Airtel in any given month. And Note: there is no difference between my streaming speed on Airtel when compared to Frown (Smile)...the YouTube videos played without lag on Airtel. So people l have packed my bags and back to my first love: AIRTEL...and before anyone claims am doing advert for Airtel, this is my Frown (Smile) account number: 1410004094 so am writing about a true experience. I have complained to their Customer Care; Frown (Smile), no response yet. So, if your in Port-Harcourt and Abuja do not be fooled with their adverts like l was fooled, stay away from Smile, it will only make you FROWN. PS: On Airtel you will occasional get downtime, but, it is far better than Smile

Autos / Best Way Not To Have A Headache With Drivers And Make Money by ogmyth: 8:46pm On Nov 07, 2014
This days we have IT firms coming out, some Nigerians which connects customers and business owners, we have them in online marketplace where you can give your products to online sellers, and they will help you market it. Give you greater visibility and increase customer and increase revenue. This days we have apps as well that do this in taxi's business. It takes away the headache of lies, upon lies from drivers, with no return for investment. The way to deal with such drivers is adopting technology which gives you control of monitoring their activities, giving you more visibility. I will not recommend or be spokesman for any company, but I can tell you adopting technology is the best way to reduce your friction, be more in control, make more money with your eyes closed.

Education / Re: Sex education is immorality teaching in disguise. by ogmyth: 12:41am On Oct 18, 2010
Americans did teach it. They ripped benefit it, during Mr. Bush tenure they tried to reverse it, because thinking that if you teach a child how to have sex, will make him or her not to have sex, or have safe sex is a TYPICAL LIE FROM THE DEVIL, it will only make him/her more inquisitive, and they might want to try it out. American began to have high rate of single parent, school drop out, and all form of social ills
They was an incidence that happen in Britain around 2001, school children of 11 & 12yrs had sex and Britain got the youngest father, when questioned they said they wanted to experiment what they were taught in school. Whether parents teach him or teacher, one thing is certain he must learn more from

Sometimes, I feel sorry for this children, looking at the way the Society is abusing them, you see in the street, movie vendor displaying Porn Film, they do not care whether children are passing through that place or not.
This days MOTHER's, now display highly graphic porn film in their shop with 7yrs children with them in the same shop, nobody cares for the other. What should be in SEX SHOP, and clearly marked 18.

If Okah is an arm dealer like some people say, why was MEND demanding him to be released when He was imprisoned by Nigerian Govt.
And OKAH never claimed he has a hand in the bombing, He only said he refused to dance to the tune of GEJ and was framed up and arrested.

For what  ?
Quote from: revolt on Today at 10:55:32 AM


U louszy lo.ut, it seems u r just being mischievous, if they catch u here, u slip and pop up your nasty/ugly face from another angle. i know your game and i want to assure u that am equal to the task! get that in2 your tribal skull.

29th of october has always been a day igbos worldwide celebrate their culture/oneness and not emancipation as u tried to twist as usual. so celebrating nigeria's independence on 1st october does not have any interference with it, u r just being tribalistic as expected from a tiger-whisker-Yoruba-goat. if ijaw, yoriba, itsekiri etc dont feel like celebrating their culture, thats their problem, probably they dont have any to celebrate, but let me educate u that Nigeria's constitution grants every nigerian, the freedom of assocciation of any kind provided its non-violence. i hope u've learnt that today moto park fo.ol!!!
I think ignorance is no defense if you  have read the opening thread, you would have actually seen the date, this igbo day was held. Nevertheless, it still the same reason Nigeria has not being able to progress as it should, that is still happening amongst NL, fighting silly tribal wars, the same reason u were colonize, the same reason the military has taken power for more than half Nigerian history, we always find it difficult to co-habit and have a common goal and achieve it. Let me ask when OBJ was in power how many of your brothers benefited, how much infrastructure did he put in place in your state.  Did he not cease lagos LG money.
Whether you want to celebrate independence or dependence or dictatorship eyo or igbo day or sharia or your mourning Nigeria it is your business as long as your not infringing on anybodies right

How can they build houses when no oil money was there. But they are the ones that started our problem the first place, fighting silly tribal political wars which was the main reason we were colonize in the first place, we should be careful because we have become a pain to the world, they might try to rule us again, since all we do is share the money, the aid they send to us never gets to its destination before is shared, 469 people sharing 3 times the budget of a state and call themselves NASS.
We can criticize the military all we want, but they are the only reason Nigeria is 50.

Be sure of what you say, before saying. I think one of them accuse the other of demonic powers, and wants the other to join him, but he refused. The accuser, we no longer see him booming as before on TV  while  the others are on almost every TV station

I pray that He should ask God for Wisdom, to be able to do what is right, in the remaining part of his tenure. Though i do not expect anything because the man seems to lack ideas.

1) He can send the EFCC at the NFF Board member and force them to resign or abandon their ambition.
2) He can lobby the State Government who own the various State FA, to ensure that they vote for the people he want.
3) Ban them for 2 years and receive FIFA sanctions and kill the career of young players, he wants to protect.

It seems to me like option 3 is bad move.
This is the third move the man is making that seems to me like a bad move for a WISE MAN.
Spending 10 billion on an independence celebration is outrageous

Education / 70 Years Retirement Age Absurd by ogmyth: 1:08am On Aug 30, 2009
ASUU demand for retirement age of 70 years is very appalling, and shows their insensitivity for the plight of the education system, that they claim to be fighting for, as well as the students. The truth of the matter, is that this demand cannot improve our education system in anyway, therefore should not be tagged as so, rather their own desire.

When this issue of retirement age is discussed with people to find out their opinion, I observe that people are of the opinion diminishing return must have taken place at the age of 60 years, and should allow the system what a lecturer no matter his position can contribute to the our e of baton exchange to remain. I am emphasizing this point as a result of my observation in my institution where lecturer above 58 years are slow and always dictate from their old note. It is almost impossible for them to adopt new methodologies, which in science/engineering are ever changing.

At their age of 60 years their contribution is already dwindling which is natural because they are tired and should be allowed to take a break . Let me add that the University system has always provided a way of retaining those who services are found valuable after their retirement, which they do by engaging them as contract staff.

In developed countries, the people that contribute to uplifting of the university status in terms of research, is the graduate students and the young lecturer who are energetic, bright, adventurous, and willing to explore new ideas. This is the reason that they always engage their services, with packages such as scholarship/Graduate assistant /Research grant etc.

Even in my discussion with fellow Nigerians and students, when the issue of ASUU strike is mentioned some jump in defense of ASUU, but never have I seen where their retirement age is discussed and anybody stood up for them on this issue, rather people react negatively towards them. Some even call them abusive “names”, and question the reason they want to remain in the system and die in it, where many graduate who could take up from them lie unemployed, yet won’t still contribute significantly to upgrade the standard of education in their various institution. Only creating a barrier for the youths to be engaged, who are willing to make an impact. I ask which of other countries in Africa has retirement age of 70 years?

This demand is synonymous with the unpopular third term bid of President Obasanjo regime. All I am saying is that FG should reverse their retirement age to what it was, or it would be catastrophic to the whole system in Nigeria. Already NASU is demanding for 65 years. If FG agree to this demand, quote me in no distant time other public sectors will go on strike demanding theirs.
I think a whole lot of strike will be in the pipeline. Who knows Medical Doctors next?
