They are EVIL - they know this themselves

Any lady reading this

sharaff6: I just broke up with my G after six year of relationship, although she take joke personal which I don't know that she have another person and we are planing for introduction by December this year. I try to beg her and she refuse me totally as if we are fighting before,my mom even call her to beg her for me and she refuse to come. I don't no woman can be dangerous she almost kill me .

Genius100: This thread defintely confirms my suspicions that Nigerians do not do their due diligence.Well, it's not only Nigerians, most humans do not do their due diligence. It is more constly in a country like Nigeria because there are so many dishonest people with sweet mouth..

Personally, I've not lost in any business I ventured into.. Run a consulting firm on the side right now and it's profitable...

publisher: In 2009,while still working in a private financial institution,i launched my own magazine. Invested over N2m on the project,hired some old classmates to run it for me...well as expected,they ran it aground. I even lost my rented office space ,cos the landlady went psychotic on rents.
After i resigned from paid employment early 2010,i moved into my media bizness full time. I'm a trained brand innovator and copywriter. I sacked ALL my staff(5 of em) retaining only my PA. We are into advertising; creation/production of tv commercials,radio jingles and newspaper ads. It's a terrible industry cos most big Nigerian companies already have established ad agencies,others prefer to use foreign South African ad agencies. When they give independents like us an opportunity to pitch an ad,they complain that our idea is good but too expensive. But when a white South African team presents a silly ad pitch,to be shot in Cape town,ten times more expensive than ours,the big Nigerian companies jump at it. Thats why most so called quality tv ads aired in nigeria are shot in South Africa or Kenya,they use mainly zimbabwean cast cos their accent is similar to ours. They go a step further to teach them pidgin and clothe them with Nigerian attires just to create a Nigerian setting. Ref: Airtel 'IK' 10/10, Golden Penny, Etisalat, Indomine(mama too good),Blueband, Cowbell and so on.
Luckily,i've landed a decent ad deal with an upcoming food seasoning company,to be honest i only got the break cos the chairman of the coy is my 'towns man'. Positive tribalism i guess!
I love advertising, especially tv ads,i watch many foreign tv stations just to see their ads. But unfortunately 90 percent of tv ads aired on Nigerian tv can be very irritating,the 'descent' ones are SA productions.
I'ld like to change that and make Nigerian tv ads more Nigerian,more creative and more entertaining.
Advertising is a passion driven creative industry,it's also very frustrating for independent agencies like mine and u could go months,even years without a single client. But ONE serious client can change ur life forever,especially if ur Ads affects ur clients turnover positively.
Well,that's my story. Nice thread.

SimonAndal: Aaah! Greedy monkeys. I love it! Here monkey! I got bananas!

ZUBY77: Tinubu's reply.

My dear IBB, the last time we exchanged messages was when you killed my fellow SWesterner Dele Giwa. It was a rosy relationship before that imcident. He was advocating for a balance of power and good governance in NIgeria before yoiu terminated his life in order to make this country ungovernable. It would be appropriate if you dont write me again since the memories of all the bad things you did to this country still hunt me. Thank you. BAT.

skydeep: Pls this is an emergency. The dog has not been treated.

newdawn1: You see why the world is saying that virtually all true Muslims are terrorist/Jihadist? Otherwise how on earth ll you explain this?
Infact they ve completely gone haywire; in that they no longer know what appeals to sanity again.
Who are they expecting to belief this kind of cock and bull stories they are cooking as effort to divert attention?
It is not too late fellow Nigerians; any thing that is bent on destroying us does not deserve us even if they call it religion, Islam or whatever.
Can't you see that these Arabs have deceived you enough? They make it compulsory for you to go to their land atleast once in life time and that the more you go the more your blessing. Why not ask question; could this be b/c of the material gain (money)?
Take a look at the case of this my neighbor! He is a nail cutter by profession, he has four wives presently. He has divorced 2 after having 12 issues with each of them. The older children are either into selling date palm, shoe shining or cutting nails and the younger ones are almajiris; of course western education is forbidden!
When President Goodluck announced that minimum wage will be increased to twenty thousand Naira my co-workers with three wives top it up to four-four and guess their number of children!
Fedral Government is trying to pull people out but they are willingly sinking into poverty.
Look at Muslim countries; they have all it takes in terms of natural resources. How many of them are counted among developed nations?
If anyone say to you I will give you shirt, look at what he has on and see whether he has enough to spare you one). Same goes for peace; if any religion promises us peace let's look at its history. God is no respecter of lies.

naptu2: Relief underway as Lagos blue-line rail still on course

…Project to generate 8,000 jobs on completion

For the over 15 million residents of Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial centre, expectation from the ongoing Blue-Line Rail Project on the Lagos-Badagry Express Road is to say the least, very high.

This is understandably so, given the relief the project on completion is expected to deliver to the mass of residents who daily commute on Okokomaiko-Mile 2, Alaba-Orile- National Arts Theater- CMS- Marina route.

The Blue-Line project is a 27-kilometre rail route from Okokomaiko to Marina being developed in phases, with Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) as supervisor, and Construction and Civil Engineering Corporation of China (CCECC) as contractors.

It is estimated that an average of 400,000 passengers would be lifted daily by the train which would run from Okokomaiko in Ojo Local Government Area of the state to Marina on Lagos Island with stops-over at Mile 2, Alaba, Orile-Iganmu and National Arts Theatre in a journey that will be faster, safer, reliable and efficient. It is designed to have a total of 12 stations. Currently receiving attention is the first phase of seven kilometres from Orile-Iganmu to Okokomaiko with about five stations

The project is coming with an added advantage of a reduced fare compared to what is currently being charged by unregulated commercial bus operators on that route. Beyond this, the rail line is equally conceived to encourage the use of public transport as a lot of vehicles would be taken off the road in what is expected to reduce the present level of emissions in the densely populated commercial city.


Interestingly, it is not only the commuters who are earnestly looking forward to the completion of the project. Thousands of unemployed youths would take their fair share from the commencement of operation of the scheme, as it is hoped over 8,000 job opportunities would be delivered to skilled and unskilled labour some of whom currently roam the streets of Lagos in frustration.

CityFile checks on Wednesday showed a steady progress of work on the track bridge at Orile-Iganmu end of Lagos-Badagry Express Road, which is simultaneously undergoing expansion from previous four lanes to 10.  Also, while construction works on the stop-over stations at Mile 2 and Alaba are reaching appreciable levels, that of Orile-Iganmu has almost been completed.

A source at the Lagos Ministry of Works and Infrastructure told CityFile that government was optimistic that the project would be delivered last quarter of 2012 or first quarter of 2013 if the contractor keeps the pace of work at the ongoing level.

At the recent inspection of the project, Babatunde Fashola, Lagos State governor, said it has moved from being a vision to a dream and is finally becoming a reality.

With the concrete pillars, the track bridge taking shape at Iganmu and other infrastructure being put in place by the contractor, Fashola is hopeful that the multi-billion naira project would be achieved.

Fashola, who was conducted round the project by Dayo Mobereola, managing director of the Lagos Metropolitan Transport Authority (LAMATA), said the concrete pillars being set up at Iganmu would hold the rail bed that will link the rail line to Iddo on its way to Okokomaiko. He added that with the completion of the first seven kilometres of the rail line, five stations would also have been completed, and in line with the terms of the contract, the concessionaires would be supplying the coaches for full operation.

“We have moved from vision to dreams and to reality. The project has taken off; the baby has been born, it is left for us to nurture it to adulthood. This is going to be the most impactful project this state has ever had. You can only imagine the number of people that will be employed, both directly and indirectly, when the project is finished. It will reduce travel time and all the stress associated with traffic will be removed. Lagosians will travel in comfort,” he said.

Shi Hongbing, deputy managing director of CCECC and project manager, said the pre-castings for the rail bridge have reached 80 percent completion, assuring that before 2012, the company would complete the rail from Mile 2 to the National Theatre.

Lekan Agboola, a vulcanizer at Orile, said government meant well by the project as it will help to combat the notorious traffic congestion in the state as well as reduce the cost of commuting.

Agboola is happy with the current pace of work in the area and believes that it may be completed in six months time.

Remi Ayegbokiki, a trader at the Orile Iron Market which was demolished due to the light rail project, lauded the state government for the project and also commended the commitment of the contractor.

Ayegbokiki, however, regretted their displacement from the market to a location that is very far from the metropolis which has adversely their business.

“This project, however, affected us so much because our market was demolished and we were relocated to somewhere along Badagry Road which is very far away from the metropolis. We spend over N10, 000 to transport one ton of steel from there to the urban area which is not good to the business. So, what we do is hang around here and wait for our customers. If government can provide another site that is closer to this place, it will be better for us,” he appealed.

naptu2: This is quite common on the NRC line. The police in Lagos prosecuted some people for riding on top of the trains a few months ago.

In Yaba I often see scenes like the one pictured above.

youngies: ABEOKUTA – Ogun State Police Command has uncovered a shrine which allegedly belongs to ritualists and fraudsters in Ewualase Village, Ogijo, behind NNPC Mosinmi depot, in Sagamu Local Government Area of the state.

The new Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Ikemefunna Okoye, who conducted newsmen and his men round the shrine for on the-spot assessment yesterday said the discovery was made on Monday.

According him, the Ogijo Divisional Headquarters through high level intelligence gathering learnt about the shrine, the operations of the suspected ritualists and went into action.

He said: "I gave them directives and they swung action that eventually led to the arrest of two people at the shrine. For now all we can say is that they are using this place for either rituals or to defraud people or both".

Okoye assured that the Command would do thorough investigations on the activities of the suspects, adding that the two suspects arrested would be charged to court after completion of the investigations.

In a related development, the Command yesterday arrested an armed robber as well as recovered a snatched vehicle.

naptu2: I gather, from the briefing document, that they'll have proper terminals and stations with shops etc (renting out shops is one of the ways they want to make money from the project).

Furthermore, large sections of the rail line will be elevated, while the sections at ground level will have barriers, to prevent people from encroaching on the rail line (as it so often happens with the NRC lines).

I heard that the Abuja line is having funding issues. Apparently, the National Assembly believes that the project is too costly.

oc2fish: You can not compare B.Sc and HND. In a poly system B.Sc and HND holders are employed
to lecture, even as I write the head of department and even deans in poly (Auchi)
are HND graduate. What type of knowledge do you expert
from such unqualified teachers.
I am a product of both system and i believe the B.Sc graduate is well trained to
adapt. I can liken this situation to what happen to me Some years ago as a young graduate
in a firm the uneducated workers were so proud of their knowledge of the
system and wonder why my salary is better, i told them that within a period i will
know the system and able to instruct them but they can never master my knowledge
and it was so after a period.
The HND will never know some aspect of the job where as the B.Sc can quickly adapt
because of the knowledge of the principle.
