The man in an AMERICAN with a Nigerian sounding Name. Am i missing something here or are we all crazy? He found that his Ancestry "Maybe" Traced to Nigeria and we should be happy? I guess we will claim anyone as a Nigerian, as long as they are successful and have an American Passport. Former Congressman/Former NAACP Chairman Kwesi Mfume changed his name, did a lot for Africa and Africans, we should actually acknowledge him before this brother from Queens, NY.

Sir Kay

Please post a pic of that Particular vehicle or give me the VIN number, The Year, and Mileage. You said you bought a 2003 Mazda 626 for N750K and a 2003 Mazda Tribute for N1.2Million. Except it had a salvage title, or maybe it is a stolen vehicle, i find that very hard to believe. Give me the VIN on Both of them i will come back with the actual value of the car. I am not saying you stole it, but i think it is awfully cheap and there must be a story to it. If the car was made or sold in the USA, give me the VIN # and i will do a Carfax/Vehix Check for you. Maybe the car came from the floods in New Orleans or may have been in an accident here in the US.

Does Northwest Fly to Nigeria? What is the partner airline? I guess Lufthansa.

Whatever the Bleep ever. I said Bill Clinton not the US Government. The US Govt gives Billions of $'s to Africa too. But Bill Gates gives his own money, so does Steven Spielberg,Larry Ellison gives tens of millions of dollars, Warren Buffet just made history a week or so ago. These people do not need African sounding names to make things happen. Oprah does not need an African name for her to do good with her fame and money. My point is we should give credit where credit is due. We claim he is Nigerian because he has a Nigerian sounding name. His ancestry may not even come from today's Nigeria. Why should i even care about his name. And yeah girl check your ego at the door, then make your point. I know you want to be heard.

Chinani

Of course you know that i was being sarcastic. But since nothing passes your ego, Bill Clinton was a black president because during and since his presidency, he has done more for "Black Africa" than any non-African has done. I can argue that he did more for Africa than most African Presidents have done or are doing. From Debt Relief to Poverty and AIDS he is a rock star not because he plays the saxophone or because he did not sleep with you, but for his actions while in government and since leaving office. Many Black folks in Black Africa and in the Diaspora respect him for his actions not for his bed manners or musical skills. Obba Babatunde is a "Nigerian named US Born and bred actor" and i should give him credence? Y

My2cents

He does not feel you. But yeah i think some people have too much time on their hands. It really pisses me of when i get flashes from Nigeria. If you do not have credit, don't fcuken call my ass. Flashing should be punished by a law. It is the same as "Telemarketers" I hate the whole idea of calling people to waste their time. Damn dem Flashers.

But please feel free to flash my direct line @ 1-800-GO-TO-HELL

I work for a family owned Automobile Dealership we sell many different brands of cars,light trucks and SUV's. I work as a sales rep, strictly on commision . I love it and have done it for about 5years now. Flexible hours, Insurance,Great Commision,401K and paid vacation.You can make mad cheese if you are good. We are about 30 employees in Sales and service. We have been in Business since 1949 and it has remained family owned since then.

Emmie4j

Sorry about your experience dude. That sounds like hell to me.

Spike

Then i am sorry i cannot help you think. You might have to find help somewhere else. Try (Sarcasm). I was responding to post #22, the first paragraph. If this doesn't help then i guess you have to move on.

Tianshie

Is it possible that i know what is happening in Nigeria more than you? I have visited Nigeria many times and i have seen the deplorable conditions that people live in, and yet "The Wealthy" continue to live in a separate Nigeria. Well it is fine FOR YOU TO HAVE HIM AS YOUR HERO, the Arm chair judgment i am supposedly passing has nothing to do with me being in the USA or in New Zealand. And the for the record Verizon has one of the best networks on the planet. Ask your friend in NYC why she does not leave them. You can sit in Nigeria and accept the status quo, i will be in America and be critical of the bad government in Nigeria and people that launder stolen money. I pay Taxes to the USA, people usually do not steal money here. Tianshie i also think your friend in NYC does not want to talk to you, that is why she claims the line is not clear. I would do the same if i were her!!

Spike

Please read it again, it will come to you. Or maybe you need to read the whole thread.

Loungr

Where are you located? I might be able to give you a number of this chic that can hook it up.

Dotman

You are then really Slow in your analysis and probably thinking too. You think Glo is not milking you @ N15 a minute. Please place your anger at your government for not letting more companies compete for your Naira. Mike Adenuga and Glo,MTN and Z-mobile can get away with charging you whatever they want because there is "NO COMPETITION . If you brought in the likes of AT&T, Verizon, Cingular, T-mobile,M-tel,SBC and other players in that space. You will be paying N2 per minute for your call and get much better service . IT IS THE "DUMB GOVERNMENT POLICIES" THAT IS THE PROBLEM. GLO as a company sucks big time. What service do you think you are getting? When you have to hold your phone like a satelite just to get some network service. Whatever. Simple Economics dude. Mike Adenuga is not an Angel because you pay N15 per minute with GLO. Common Dude use your head. If service was so good at n15 a minute why do Nigerians all have more than one or even two phones? I have had my one phone number here for Ten years and if Cingular messes up, i can take the same number to Verizon or Sprint and i take my business along with me. I know America is not Nigeria, but i am just telling you what service really is.

Sorry about the spell Checker. But again i am in the USA and have lived in Nigeria. I am sick and tired of the rich in that country have a different set of rules from the rest of us. Why is a man like Mike Adenuga(Which i hate by the way) not pay his taxes? I am a Law and Justice kind of guy. I was for putting Martha in Jail and the other CEO of the Biotech firm, I was hoping that Ken Lay will be given the death penalty, i am a live by the rules or die by the law kind of customer. I hate when you say stuff like he "built" an empire. You are misleading yourself. Built something is like the founders of Home Depot, the guys behind Pet-co, the people that started Levi's, the starbucks guy,the dell guy. Those are people that "BUILT AN EMPIRE". Listen you know how it works, you have a dream, you go get a loan, and you be all you want to be. That is why we have Bestbuy,Circuitcity,Compusa,McDonald's,Outback Steakhouse,Sports Authority,Verizon, and all these non IT big players. You know what, i am done. Bleep Adenuga and IBB.

Tianshie

Bleep the Christ comments. If Steve Jobs lost any money or rather i think you meant intellectual property, by the hands of Bill Gates, then we have a system of government that works to repair wrong doings. Ask Ken Lay(Enron) That system of Justice works. He died Last week because his peers sent him to Jail. Now i am not sure what the hell poverty Mike Adenuga is alleviating? The amount of money Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida stole with the help of Mike Adenuga, cannot be repaid in the next decade. He employees people and treats them like commodities and you think he is doing something great? Well i have to let you think the way you think and i will do me.

Iyke D
Please save the sermon about Justice. Innocent before guilt my a$$. The bleeper is guilty of Tax Evasion and Money Laundering and Employee brutality. He has not created Jack in his life. He sat on IBB's Lap and things were handed down for him. If you are looking for people that have created $hit, look all over the USA. Microsoft: Bill Gates and Allen, Google: Brin and the other Kid, YouTube.com:Chen and the other Kid, Oracle: Larry Ellison and his CIA colleagues. I am not sure what Mike Adenuga created from his God Given ability. Infact i would dare say that 90% of his wealth is linked to stolen/Laundered money.

You know what, Bleep that MuthaFcuker. He is a prick. Built an Empire!! Huh Yeah right. What empire has he built? Glo,Consolidated Oil?and the Bank that Launders stolen money? Whatever. No wonder Nigeria is so Black and White.

@Topic

I hope he gets the books thrown at him, and he get some good time if possible in an all American Jail, that has some Hot homosexuals. The man is a fool and treats his employees like commodities. He is a pig. I Fcuken hate the bastard! EFCC should keep him in a hot 6x9 cell with pure water and bread. Fcuken Prick. Tax Evasion is a crime and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The rich continue to mask their money and expect government to ignore them. Mike Adenuga (Glo Nigeria) and Kenneth Lay(Enron) are birds of the same feather. The only difference is that Ken Lay is dead because he could not live to serve his time. Another Bastard escaped jail. But Mike Adenuga is still alive and we can get him.

Dafman

He(Obba) is not even Nigerian by any stretch of the imagination. If Layi is looking for someone to look up to, i suggest he starts with Bono, or our real and only Black president William Jefferson Clinton.

Sir Kay 4 the tribute and the 626

I think you will need about $10,000 to land it in Lagos Tincan or Apapa Ports. I want to reiterate the word "About". It is a relatively new car and the price would depend on what we find in the market.

@Layi

The post is wack, what do you mean he is "US Based Celebrity"? He was born in the heart of the Big Apple(Queens), and he as American as Apple Pie and Root Beer. Then Oprah is US based Senegalese/Ghanaian Celebrity and Arnold is US based Austrian Governor of California. Because he(Obba) has a Nigerian name does not make him US based nothing. Then Danny Glover is An African Based US actor, and the other black Actor(I forgot his name) that does stuff for Darfur is also a an African Actor that happens to be a US citizen.

My point is that we(Nigerians) like saying/implying $hit to makes us feel better, that does not add any value to our lives. If we claim him (Obba) as a "PATROITIC NIGERIAN" BY NAME ONLY, THEN WE OWE BONO FROM U2 AFRICAN CITIZENSHIP.

Very Nice Pic,Great smile, but the weave has got to go Love!

R&D = Innovation and Innovation in new technologies= More Revenue/profits. That is always good for shareholders. It is always a good sign when companies spend their money on new things.

Bagoma

I am sure the original owner of this thread has enough information to make a decision. It has been a different topic since page two.

@Akolawole

Yeah i think he should meet you or meet someone in London to clear the air. But l am ready to mediate and settle this argument. But you know what they say right. You have to put your money where your ************. Jackal needs to put up or shut up. Akolawole gave his number and i called from the US and his personality online is consistent with what he said over the phone and we talked for a while. On the other hand you (Jackal) are beating around the bush and being wishy washy. You have got to give Akolawole the edge in this debate right now because he backed his words with action.

Google will not fail.They learned from the mistakes of IBM's and Yahoo's of the world. They Will be much bigger than they are today in a few years. I think they will end up being the only search engine soon in the world. You might want to buy their stock NASDAQ: GOOG.

VickyBabe

Did you say 60 Credit Cards? Now that means the work to pay bills.

Jackal

Dude enough is enough bro. I know you are Loaded, I believe you have a home, but dude there is no way you are 21. At this point i am willing to bet that your were not born in 1985. I am also willing to head across the pond to verify. I am willing to bet a lot of money. So here is my wager, for every $500 i put up, you put up $250. We can meet in a neutral place (Heathrow Airport), with Nairalanders on hand to verify the transaction. I can stay only one night so we can all make sure you are who you say you are. Since Akolawole knows you well, i will like him to be there and maybe Beyounce can be there too and some of your people Hucarson and Jageene. What do you think? Requirements include you bringing the NI number you gave on this thread, Deed on your home and three forms of ID. There will be some other thing i will need to see too.
