First of, the info given is more than enough for the wife to know who the individual is...even a close friend would be able to tell.

Secondly, I believe the pastor is enjoying this so called temptation. If he wasn't, he would go straight to his wife and discuss this....then pay the girl off.

Tank u very much...imagine a Pastor asking if he shud commit adultery or not...Well,I have something for him from God's word...Marriage is honorable in all and bed undefiled...But Whoremongers and Adulterers God will punish...Heb 12:1..though I am nt so sure..

RIP to the dead fowls...not the kinda death they envisaged.

U dey madt!!!lol...nt d kinda death they envisaged....killed it..

In the real sense of the word "some" forms of stealing can qualify as corruption. Some cant.

E.g. A public officer diverting public funds to private accounts qualify as both stealing and corruption

A public officer using his office to ease the process of getting his relative employed qualifies as corruption but that's not necessarily stealing

But an armed robber waiting for vehicles with guns and robbing people is pure stealing but that is not corruption.

The essence of the word corrupt or corruption assumes some level of responsibility and dignity that is being tarnished or adulterated due to some malpractices. Nobody looks up to a thief with some dignity or expect them to operate on a higher moral pedestal that is why it is out of place to describe a thief with the word corrupt.

Hence those who try to distinguish between the word stealing and corruption are not in anyway trivialising corruption. If anything they are emphasizing the enormity of what is going on in public offices in Nigeria when they try to draw a distinction between stealing and corruption. They are arguing that the seriousness of siphoning public funds into private accounts gets downplayed with the word corruption when in truth what is happening is outright stealing.

In 2006 Nuhu Ribadu made a similar argument about Sani Yerima of Zamfara State while accusing Governors of Corruption. In the case of Zamfara he emphasized that what is going on there is outright stealing without the involvement of any 3rd parties because in his words Sani Yerima was simply diverting State funds directly from State Accounts to private accounts. He is not even disguising it by setting up contactors with fronts like you currently have in Lagos where Tinubu's proxy companies do all sorts of work for the Lagos State Government and inflating cost without being subject to competition.

So eventhough in terms of technicalities of English language "Stealing is not corruption" may be wrong. I understand the sentiments behind the argument. There is some truth in it.
What goes on in public offices in Nigeria is stealing but in most developed countries you have corruption in public offices!

So u mean,Stealing is corruptn but nt all corruptn is stealing hence should be treated in context.....whether it is stealing or corruptn...we don't want any...

So when the people in the North jubilated after their Islamic leaders and dear Emirs decided to make sharia supreme law in the North what really did they expect? A Caliphate, right? Out of Sharia, emerges Boko Haram the tool for establishing a caliphate, and the people complain? What are they complaining about? Burnt villages and a bombed mosques? When northern youths were bombing and burning churches, killing Christians, that was the time to complain not now, the snake you raised grown too big and is no longer tamable; will turn and bite anyone near it. And remember Imam Buhari said attack on Boko Haram is attack on the North, so tell me something you bigots, you want GEJ to attack the North? Never ever a smart thing to make a government ungovernable.......you pay the consequences sooner or later.

You have a point there brother...honestly...but let's remove d North and score President Jonathan on d rest of Nigeria...He hasn't done well..honestly.

dablazor:
more of this from the international community please!...
I never wanted Buhari to rule our great nation... but right now, he would be a better alternative, the incumbent seems incapable!, Nigeria has being disgraced, everyone thinks Nigerians are just like their president. the Jonathan administration is clueless, discombobulated, the president is incompetent, maybe this whole blind eye to pressing matters by him is intentional or not i cant even say, but his faults, mis-judgments, shortcomings and inability to make the right decisions are egregious and its a trend! and to think he has a PhD rubbishes the Nigerian educational system, Even a simpleton would do things differently - give me a five year old pls!
Our economy is sinking like a 700 pound metal resting on a muddy quicksand, the state of security is a record low (our military has metamorphosed into a shadow of its former self; just imagine, Nigerian soldiers running from battle?, corruption has spiraled, we are being disgraced by the international community (read foreign news and blogs!!!) ; technically we are soap-opera to them, a laughing stock... and u think GEJ is still the man?
I hate talking about my President this way, but let us face it, our president lacks basic leadership qualities, as if that is not enough, he crowned this with a clueless approach, we cant just keep pretending everything is okay, no, its not! the man we have in the driving sit of our national affairs is driving us into doom.... lets be frank, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is clueless and he is not the right man for Nigeria.
Lets be human beings, because the insurgency in northern Nigeria isn't affecting our families dont mean we should turn a blind eye, how are we better than the Northerners if we choose to ignore the bloodsheds based on some vendetta we have against the north?
Some say; 'bokoharam is just a way the north is trying to get power back to the north, they are just trying to frustrate his rule' if thats true (which i doubt, the Northerners are the ones dying), why is he the president if he cant hold the responsible accountable!? he is the Commander in chief! how has he lived up to that? has he prosecuted anyone? has he sacked anyone? what boldstep has he made that says 'hey! i am the president!' no one should be able to make a country ungovernable for a President that knows what he is doing, he is the president! lets call a spade a spade, he cant rule this country, he has failed, its his sixth year for God sake, why give him another four? so he could finish what he started?
We are Nigerians, atleast for now, that is what we are, and take it or leave it, it might seem so far away now, but sooner or later it would come knocking at your door, someone u love might be next.. WE CANT AFFORD THE LUXURY OF ANOTHER FOUR YEARS FROM THIS MAN.. NOOOO! WE THE YOUTHS SHOULD PLS RISE UP AND BE RATIONAL, IF THE OLD GEEZERS IN POWER WOULD PLAY WITH OUR FUTURE, LETS KICK EM OUT, THEY WOULD ALL DIE ONE DAY AND WE WOULD BE LEFT TO REPAIR THE FAILED NATION.
Beggars are not choosers, Lets give another person a chance, i don't care if its an Abacha reincarnation, as long as its democracy! we need a change of government!
Give Me Anything But Jonathan.

You are a pride to HumanHood and a true Nigerian Citizen with blood flowing in his veins(with d way some people say nonsense on dis forum,I wonder if its d same blood flowing in their veins) and kindness in ur hearts...I also belonged to d group of people who were willing to vote President Jonathan and his cronies a second time...But to be honest,with recent happenings and d damning situation of things...I will be a damn fool,a blind bartimaeus and an hypocrite if I vote for President Jonathan and his Cronies whose government I utterly,totally and completely renounce,reject and denounce...it's a pity things got this way,President Jonathan has never really contested or won an electn,d 2011 electn was just a shenanighan ,he had power thrust upon him,hence his inability to do well,well he has tried his best but Nigeria can no longer depend on a man who can never be trusted...I seriously pity Northern Nigeria,I dnt know where Patriotism went too...d freedom fighters and our fathers who fought for independence will weep if they know what Nigeria has become...I am nt campaigning for anyone...BUT I REFUSE TO CONTINUE BEING FOOLED,CHEATED AND SHORTCHANGED...PDP isn't what we need @ d moment,APC is nt d answer,...we need Visionary leaders that's all.

wildguy:
Two days ago, on my way home from work around 9pm, I was stopped by some police men for carrying a laptop. The mistake I made was I did not have the receipt and my ID on me. They put me in a danfo bus and headed to their station. On the way they picked up anybody they saw that had a bag on them. There was even a guy that had a laptop with him with his ID card and receipt that they picked "cause he was walking around with a laptop alone". They seized all our phones till we got to the police station.

When we got to the police station they separated those of us that had laptops from those that didn't. All of us with laptops were branded yahoo boys. They told us to turn on our systems so they can analyse what was on the system. When I switched on my own they saw visual studio with codes and sql server open (I am a developer) and they concluded that that was the software that I use in scamming my clients. After punching and slapping me for not telling them the truth of how I do my operation (they opened my yahoomail account and saw nothing that suggested that I was a yahoo guy), they packed my bag with my laptop and locked me in a cell(there were about 20 guys in the cell). They allowed me to make some calls before they locked me up.

My folks later came to bail me out around 2 in the morning and can you imagine that after collecting money for bail they asked for money from me to collect my belongings that was with them (They said I had to pay for the fuel money)

I got home and I was thinking

a. Are we saying that someone with a laptop cannot work around with it, even if the person has a receipt and an ID card?
b. How many people have they kept in the cell without any just reason or just cause "they were walking alone"?
c. Is there no agency that punishes law enforcers for abusing their power?
d. What training do the officers go through for them to separate a developer, photo editor, graphics designer from a yahoo guy?
e. How do we want to develop ourselves in the field of ICT when everybody that carries a laptop is called a yahoo guy?

I am waiting for d day one of them will fall into my hands...I will deal with him mercilessly...this guys are worse than goats...they are so dumb...my neighbour had a runaway sales girl so d girl's guardian reported @ d police station...we went together,on getting there,without any investigatn..she was branded a suspect...as well as d other people who has shops in d complex where my neighbour's shop is...d anuohia that interrogated us said and I quote..."If dis girl isn't found within two days,I will go to dt complex and pack all of them to the station as suspects...d ode was forming detective for us...we paid money to write statements...these are guys who barely speak good English...I dey tell you,if one way or d oda one of them falls into my hands,he will wail,I will treat him d way they treat people....de police profession is filled with fools and retards...just because they have guns and uniform...no doubt,there are some of them who make you want to be a police man,like my cousin who has a university degree and decided to join d force...most of these guys are poorly trained...I think d government needs to review their training and turn d retards among them to just guards and watchmen with no guns and cuffs...just baton and torches...

Whynotthetruth:
As a coconut head you are...he is saying that before appointment into governance... Dieziani has carved a niche for herself in the petroleum sector viz shell Nigeria after studying in England and USA. She rose to the rank of executive director in shell Nigeria. the first female to rise to such position in shell...is it clear now or do you need me to draw it on ground for you

Pls do...and also tell me d shape and size of d Niches she carved for herself while in shell..

Whynotthetruth:
Why not remove prejudice and then sit to understand the system very well before analyzing ...Do Nigeria exist in isolation of other countries? Can we run an economy devoid of interaction with other economies? What's the price of this product in other economies considering their GDP, per capita income, refining base, manufacturing prowess of the economy I am not saying building refineries here isn't the best but given the current situation, what's the way out Why do you think petroleum price is same all over the country? is it magic or cluelessness of importers, marketers etc

Look,I agree with all d points u raised..we definitely can't exist in isolation,but what I know is dis,we can do better than many countries if we really want to...I know and understand why Nigeria can't arbitrarily fix fuel price in isolation to international price,I think I quite understand how d forces work,I can't blame d marketers and importers..neither am I saying they are clueless..in situations..d people I will never blame are d players along d production/delivery chain...yet,I will not absolve them of all faults,no,they are part of d problem,yes they are,have you ever asked urself,where d so-called crude oil is even refined,is it d US,is it Venezuela,is it Iran,even d Nigerian government knows why it can't divulge such information,but a right thinking mind will know,there is no proper reason why we can't refine fuel here,...d Leaders are d culprit,that's why I said,OPEC is a cartel,I didn't even say it,its a fact..I will not be deceived myself,d powers at play in d petroleum issue seems to be powerful but not beyond what our leaders can do,do u know au much Nigeria makes from oil,do u know much is been remitted into d treasury,..look,markets buy petrol at less than N97 but sell at N97 cos dts d national fixed price,I am in no way saying,d players in d oil industry are retards but I know they are pawns in d bigger game than we know...

ekolina:
u kwn nothing..Diezini was the first female executive director of shell. she was with shell on till 2007.she did architecture in texas. questionable cuz they didn't skool in he west rite

What is dis one saying?

Flets:
I wont bother responding cos you said there is no subsidy. Check the price of refined petrol in the global market and compare with 97naira. Google is your friend.

Dts international price fixed by OPEC abeg,av u asked urself why all of a sudden,d price of oil has reduced sharply...do u know OPEC was originally a cartel and maybe still is headed by Saudi Arabia,d largest Oil exporter in d world...look.who says Nigeria can't sell oil at our own predetermined price,Shale Oil production increased in d US and u know America,they don't care who OPEC is,Saudi Arabia flooded d market with Brent Oil that is our crude oil,and reduced d price,what we have now is d resultant effect..btw..which one is refined petrol...d only universal price is one crude oil...countries determine how much they sell to their citizens...I don't even know why I responded to this sef in d first place..

Flets:
You lot make lot of useless noises.
What do you know about subsidy. .. you just blab away in the most unintelligible manners.

The reason petrol price is same maiduguri
, lagos, PH, Ogoja is because subsidy does not cover only import pricing but transport also. FG pays the transport cost of all these trucks you see at Apapa

The sharp practices/ corruption within the sector cuts across marketers, depot owners, PPRA, Truck owners, truck drivers etc. Imagine a driver loads products for Maiduguri and is paid 500k then he diverts the product Shagamu. .... Nigerians are extremely corrupt. everybody part pf the supply chain is part of the cabal. They would be quick to embark on strike snd starve supplies causing scarcity when you want to step in


Refined product Subsidy has to go. It was the right move by GEJ two years back but without enlightenment of the masses. We need to deregulate the downstream sector. In a year we can have over 5 off the shelf small scale refining modules with subsidy out of the way. At the point Govt can subsidize the cost of crude to the local refineries and drive the petrol cost even below 97naira.

In all, there will be competing refineries, many petrochemical companies, vast employment, cheaper petrol price in the long term, positive effect on our foreign exchange, more vibrant economy.

Honestly..you lost me after 'manners'...this one indeed is story for d ancestors.....u better don't allow urself to be deceived by our so-called leaders,there is no subsidy..Yar Adua pegged fuel at N65,wasn't d so-called subsidy there,look its just a pity Nigeria is d way it is,honestly,basic secondary School Business Studies or Economics shud help Nigerians realize d forces dt affect oil prices in an oil producing country,keep mouthing subsidy there...in other news,Nigeria doesn't have a functioning oil refinery,nt because they can't,but because,d leaders aren't willing to do d needful,do u know au many people will lose money made from petroleum importation...Otedola Number One...abeg..as far as d leaders are still trying to force down our throats fake lies,then thunder will continue to fire them..

clevadani:
best in what?diverting trillions of naira in d guise of paying 4 subsidy?or using half a billion naira to rent private jets?or ensuring u would neva enjoy d benefits of being frm an oil producing nation

Dis is d second human being on dis thread(I am first)..let me see if there are others...

Money is good... Even as them done dey a little bit advanced in age, they still look like those in their 20's... Looking at their profile... One thing comes to mind... If you really study hard, nothing will stop you from being great...

True...but for dis ones na...if they actually attained all dose educational achievements,they really worked hard then...but for this ones,apart from Omobola Johnson and maybe Sally Mbanefo...the other ones are questionable imho.

Who is dis big,tiny and K-legged,pretentious,ugly and crappy looking F.O.O.L?

So she rather died than commit suicide?

maadt guy

U jst scared me shitless...I dnt live in Lagos,I live in Akure,d engineer has promised to help me in d best way he can...I am planning to buy a new drive but I need those files out...tnx for ur time bro..God bless you.

koseepaaro:
OP, what did the computer repair technician that you took the system to say is the nature of the old hard drive before telling you that it would need to be replaced? Is it that the systen can no longer detect it again or the drive won`t allow one to install fresh copy of windows on it? If the system can still recognize the old hard drive, your files can still be recovered.

He said he tried installing a new OS to no avail,he said d HDD panel isn't rolling,I dnt knw wat dt means...he said it has a bad sector since d system can't boot up,it keeps saying,windows suffered a recent hardware change....now he is saying d harddisk is inaccessible..I am really confused...

I am sorry for dt sorta heading,it was to capture ur attention...now dt I have it,here goes....Recently,my desktop computer won't come up...prior to dis time,it won't boot until I set d date in d log on settings option...it said there was a problem with the on board battery,d system is jst a mere backup,albeit a very important and quite expensive one at d time I bought it....

Now,last week,it won't even boot,it will say windows has suffered a recent hardware change..dt I av to load d OS from its CD,didn't do dt anyway,I took it to a technician who attends to my computer problems and I don't doubt his expertise in anyway...he said,I must buy a new on-board battery,replace d HDD cos its corrupt and won't load....I av no problems with replacing d harddisk if only dt I av very very very and highly important stuffs there,I am an architect so I av pricey backups therein...

I av rare apps,media and download softwares there....I av big bang theory 1 - 7,modern family 1 - 4 to mention a few...I dnt mind buying a new harddisk....but I can't afford to lose any data on it,my dad's backup data are dere as well,backup from office drive,so its kinda sensitive...pls I really ideas on hw to retrieve my stuffs therein...and also d cost of a 160gb or 250gb desktop HDD...and if its possible to get d system HDD back...

The engineer has promised to do his best and I believe and trust him,but it won't hurt to explore my options...I appreciate every assistance that will be rendered to me in dis regards...tnx a lot..

chukel:
u r not getting me. There is a difference between starting the engine and putting on the ac. U r referring to starting the engine and checking ur compressor. Naaaah. I'm referring to putting on ur ac and checking if the compressor cycles on and off or not.

Of course it does cycle off and on...a compressor dt runs continuously will not last...however its difficult to know once d radiator fan has been made direct,I must confess....but u raised a valid point...I will make investigatns abt it anyways tnx...

chukel:
when u put on ur ac, the compressor is supposed to cycle on and off based on the readings of the ac thermostat. It's not supposed to cycle continuously. But these clowns have a way of disconnecting that ac thermostat so that it runs continuously while ur ac is on. Dat will superbly shorten the lifespan of ur compressor.

Naaahh...I didn't fall for dt bro...I always check d compressor each time I start d engine to make such that it isn't rolling...I lost a compressor dt way...so once bitten,twice shy.

chukel:
in addition let him refill ur system with a dye containing 134a refrigerant so as to spot leaks. Dats after vacuuming ur system. Note that vacuum is not the same as flushing though the later is done in order to achieve result of the former. But it can never give u same result. And if ur system is leaking, u will not get enough negative pressure. So it affords u the ability to check leak and extract moisture from your system.

D Vehicle is already in d mechanic's shop,I shud be seeing d evaporator today....however,I will still suggest this things to him...tnx...however,u talked abt d technician fidling with d radiator fan and wiring it direct and d compressor works itself away....well,u must be a prophet.....cos d electrician advised this,tho he didn't remove d thermostat,I know better than allowing an mechanic touch my thermostat...what he just did was to connect d ac fan directly,such dt was d ignition starts,d fan starts too,it has nothing to do with d compressor,d compressor only starts when d AC is switched off....but whatever d case is sha,I will suggest vacuuming to d engineer...

damiosy:
Patience is what's important right now
I informed one of my suppliers earlier today and he said he would let me know soon as service resumes at the ports

And patience...will I exercise...tnx brother.

damiosy:
I really can't say since its not in stock and the dollar appreciating against the naira and The thing is the only laptop with an Nvidia graphics card available is the Alienware 14 which you can see the specs on my previous post

The Acer I sold would have fit your choice but it was brand new and sold for 110k

So what's goin to happen now?...I love acer laptops and I will be glad if I can get one.

But wait oh...shey na only PDP and APC dey dis country,make we shock dis two self acclaimed elephants and vote for other parties...as for me oh...Chris Okotie has my vote for president....

Currently having dt issue too...tho a mercedes Benz...look,ask ur mechanic or technician to investigate all ur AC hoses and Valves for weakness or leakage...check d compressor for leakage...compressor leaks when d pipe leading into it isn't properly sealed,it happens each time u change a compressor,check ur AC dryer as well,it works closely with ur condenser,finally,check ur AC air filter and evaporator...but most likely its a case of leakage since it began when u did routine maintenance,nothing is wrong with maintenance my brother,it even might av been waiting to happen....d mercedes is currently in a mechanic on AC wahala,changed compressor,condenser,dryer,valves,hoses...still all d same thing,...the mechanic wants to check d evaporator...and its also possible ur compressor might be d problem...I know u bought it new,yet,atimes,from experience,new isn't always best,except u bought from an OEM store.

damiosy:
The Acer is not available at the moment will inform you as soon as it is,unless you will settle for an alternative brand,very few supplies lately due to the ongoing Strike at the ports...thanks

So u mean my budget covers d Acer laptop??...well,since its nt available,is dere any close substitute available?....I need d system for architectural graphics and gaming...
