Politics / Re: Pat Utomi For President In 2007? by omon(m): 8:38pm On May 11, 2006
What hope does this country have when young people don't see good in themselves - they don't want a change for their lives, It is soooo sad! Vote Utomi!

How many of those guys abroad are really financially stable? Many wallow in debts upon debts,
Politics / Re: Pat Utomi For President In 2007? by omon(m): 2:08pm On May 06, 2006
Some Nigerians are just as daft as the useless crop of politicians we have now.
Politics / Re: Pat Utomi For President In 2007? by omon(m): 12:31am On May 06, 2006
So who exactly are the leaders? The Anenihs, Alis, Nzeribes? Is that your idea of good leaders? Me I don tire!!
Politics / Re: Pat Utomi For President In 2007? by omon(m): 12:17am On May 06, 2006
I think all you Nigerians are as confused as the politicians. How can you complain that good people are not coming out, but be the first to run down an intellectual. Do you realise the kind of respect Nigeria will earn when someone like Utomi comes to power. Nigeria does not need a politician at this momenty of our history, we need a leader.

Are you not tired of the kind of politics Anenih and OBJ are playing?
TV/Movies / Re: Anybody Interested In Bringing Sanity And Class To Nollywood Movies by omon(m): 10:44pm On Apr 18, 2006
You guys confuse me, why complain about the amount of money we should invest in films when you say all the films produced in Nigeria are quack? If a film is as good as Totsie, won't it generate money within and outside Naija?

Kenya is regarded as one of the most corrupt country as well.

Nwoke:

Will Nigerians pay more for a movie with special effects or will such a movie sell enough copies to justify the cost?

Are you saying Nigerians cannot watch nicely made movies?

She is actually based in Lagos and anchors a programme on Eko fm.

okafor:



3. Cosmos Mmaduka: Coscharis Group (#1 Dealer in BMW, Land and Range Rovers)

4. Ekene Dili Chukwu Transport. He is the first guy that imported Mercedez Trucks in Nigeria and King of the Nigeria passenger Transport Industry.





These guys have been in the transport business for years.  Why have they been unable to provide services for all routes through out Nigeria?





Career / Re: Nigerians Studying Abroad: Would You Go Back Home To Work? by omon(m): 5:26pm On Apr 02, 2006
I have two friends who have returned home and currently earn 13M and 7M naira respectively. That is prettyy much more than a lot of people earn abroad.
Politics / Re: The Western Media's Portrayal Of Africa by omon(m): 10:07pm On Apr 01, 2006
I watched a coverage of the just concluded census on CNN - Inside Africa report today. This programme is anchored by a Nigerian - Femi Oke. To my dismay, the only place shown throughout the report was the slum used by the plywood marketers as you travel on the third mainland bridge.

I guess census also took place at Ikoyi or one of those posh places all over Nigeria, but no, we don't get to see those pictures.
Travel / Re: Nigeria: The Happiest Country In The World! by omon(m): 10:57am On Apr 01, 2006
By the time you walk the streets on London and see the 'plastic smile' on the faces of people, then you will understand why Nigerians are the happiest people on earth. There is a place in Russia where it is seen as stupid to smile sometimes.
Travel / Re: Is Life Really Better Abroad? by omon(m): 10:52am On Apr 01, 2006
Those of you who have spent several years abroad and are settled seem not to be bothered about the millions of Nigerians who are severly suffering in the Diaspora. Most Nigerians who just arrived and have spent less than 4 yrs in the UK find it hard to get around. If a better life is working more than 10 hrs a day and still getting peanuts - £5/hr (by British standard), then it is ok.

This is what I think, The opportunities are here quite alright, but it is never presented to you on a platter of Gold. You have to work strenously for it just like way back in Lagos. I can also tell you of a fact that some of my professional colleagues in Nigeria earn much more than some of us in the UK.

The comfort that comes with living abroad is that basic infastructures are there when needed, but they are things you definitely have to pay for.
TV/Movies / Re: South African Movie Industry Vs Nollywood by omon(m): 10:40am On Apr 01, 2006
I guess you guys understand why the South African films may do better. Their industry has spanned ages, but Nollywood only just started. While most south african films are highly funded to show flicks of suffering blacks and of those dying of AIDS, Nollywood works on thin budgets but not doctored to show only AID, poverty related films.
Politics / Re: Should The US And Great Britain Pressure Obasanjo Against 3rd Term? by omon(m): 6:41pm On Mar 30, 2006
@SIBLI-06, I will take it that you are ignorant of your country's hostility to Nigerians/Africans who want to visit their land.  It starts right there in Nigeria - at the Embassy.  In all my primary to tertiarry education in Nigeria, I never spent close to £15,000 tution. But we are made to pay up to and sometimes, twice as much to study in your country and after such a huge sum of money for tution, you are told to go home because you are not Bristish.  That, to me is very harsh.

The ruins the British caused in Benin, Edo state is still there for you to see today.  The worst thing is that the artifacts that were STOLEN from Nigeria still generates millions in pounds to the British people till date. The British govt as do other western countries do not see the need to send part of the money generated from stolen art works back to the countries where they originated from. That indeed is sad!

Well, back to the topic. The UK and US should repect our sovereignity and stay out of our politics.

Career / Re: Are Nigerian 'Graduates' Really Graduates? by omon(m): 6:20pm On Mar 21, 2006
foskybaby:

Going to all those universities including LAG is a waste of time in nigeria

scholling abroad is the best educationa child can have when i was in LASU all i did was to settle lectures especially MR RAJI and he also wanted to have a piece of me too alongside though i failed his course but by then i was already in the states . you can imagine if i didnt travel what he would have done to me . i knew some girls back then that he failed them for good 3 years just because they said NO to him

ahh

i thank GOD

It is a pity that you failed in LASU and decided to 'settle' your lecturers. Do you have to do the same in the US? Like I have stated in another post, I owe my present position in life today to the foundation I had in UNIBEN. Greatest UNIBEN!! Today, I handle projects with top notch experts and professors in the UK.

toshmann:

davidylan take a look at this;

prof wole soyinka, villified by the presidency over his advice that obj should drop the 3rd term ambition

chinua achebe; villified by the presidency for refusing to accept a national award in protest of the aso-rock controlled political crisis in anambra state(his home state).

beko ransome kuti; died recently due to illhealth.no thanx to continous struggle over the political situation in the country and poor healthcare system in nigeria

philip emeagwali; no information known to me (u may help me here) about any special honor done to him by his country.

tell me, what kind of nation treats its heroes this way

Thank God you said OBJ and not Nigerians. I know that the majority of Nigerians appreciate these people who have done us proud.
Education / Re: Nigerian Educational System. by omon(m): 5:00pm On Mar 19, 2006
I don't know about you, but I owe my present position today to what the Nigerian system taught me. Today, I mingle with the very best specialists (in my field) that you will find in the UK.
Romance / Re: Can True Love Be Found Online? by omon(m): 2:38pm On Mar 19, 2006
I see no reason why people can't just be honest when they meet people online. If both parties are sincere, then there will be no shock when they meet in person.

The first the contact I had with my wife was done online. Today, we are happily married
Politics / Re: U.s. Scores Nigeria Low On Human Rights, Corruption by omon(m): 1:49pm On Mar 11, 2006
The Nigerian govt should equally score them (USA) low on the unlawful detention of hundreds at the Guatanamo bay prison.

Hello Brit, don't even go there! no day passes without one murder or rape of some kind being reported in the london 'Metro newspaper'. So get your facts right. The British media reports toned down violence that goes on around the UK. My house in the centre of london has been bugled three times already in the last 9 months.

Thank you Seun. If they are genuinely concerned about their people, money used to buy arms can build decent houses and schools.
