Foreign Affairs / Re: Hamas Destroying Homes Of Palestines. by otawa: 7:38pm On May 18, 2010
The Nigerian Govt. has the right to destroy homes built on Nigerian soil if it think it does not meet the plan of the area just like we have seen done in some areas in Abuja and Lagos, but for the Cameroonian govt., to come destroy Nigerian homes in Calabar, just because we share borders is another case entirely.


Gbosa!!!

this is why people should come with superior message.
Politics / Re: Yoruba Have Never Been One -awujale by otawa: 4:43pm On May 17, 2010
The Awujale not only refused to treat, but rejected the presents offered on behalf of the British Government, fearing, no doubt,
that to accept them would entail some concession on his part.

This was how the Queen introduced 'Corruption' into our system.

Thank God, history has shown that Ijebu are nobody cowards.

We were colonised because we never ACTED as one and same body language is what I am still reading on this post, almost 120years later!

And for the records, The Itsekiris have Ijebu Origine!. They actually speak the un-diluted Ijebu Language.
Politics / Re: Uk Newspaper Detail How Oando Made Its Whopping Quarterly N3.1 Billion Profit By by otawa: 5:10pm On May 16, 2010
This is of course, a crude arrangement to avoid more than $7m a year in tax – which would provide quite a few schools or hospitals in Nigeria where the company really operates through offices in Abuja and Lagos. The scheme would not work if Oando were based in a developed economy such as the UK, where tax rules prevent the more blatant scams to stuff profits into tax havens, but poorer countries such as Nigeria are more vulnerable.

terrible. How they short-changed hapless Nigerians.
Romance / Re: Is It Wrong To For A Guy To Marry Girl Of Same Age? by otawa: 5:03pm On May 16, 2010
pls is it wrong for a guy to marry a girl of same age?i want u pple to help me out please.ckc

Good question.

what was average age of men/women that got marriend in Nigeria in 2009?

A pity that our national statitics do not work. It could provide us with answers and trends.
Romance / Re: Can U Marry A Girl That Drink And Smoke? by otawa: 4:57pm On May 16, 2010
I drink and i smoke. . . And of course anybody looking to get serious with me (who disapproves) will simply never get to know!


Your breath will give you away.

And if they kiss you, the 'ciga-taste' will be there.

You cant hide with bonbons.
Politics / Re: Vp: Sambo Dragged Before Efcc Over N153.6bn. by otawa: 4:48pm On May 16, 2010
But in the petition, Garba averred that the state obtained a $17.32m loan guaranteed by the Minister of Finance from the Islamic Development Bank, but that the loan was not captured in the 2009 budget as required by law.

When will GoodLuck bring up the $2,000,000.00 case of his wife Patience?

Nigeria is ruled by thugs.
Politics / Re: Wake Up Nigerians! Babangida Is Just A Decoy! by otawa: 4:36pm On May 16, 2010
The main ball-game here is for a total nobody to be slotted in, someone they can control, like Yar'adua! Babangida is not the problem of Nigerian politics. . . We need prayers in this country!

sounds plausible.

But instead of PRAYERS, which we have been doing since the Brits wiped our asses in 1872, nothing has changed.

Isreal was not praying to GOD, they got Weapon of Mass destruction to deter the arabs.

what we need rather is a strategy and act on it.
Politics / Re: Goodluck Jonathan To Interact With Nigerians Via Facebook- Brilliant Idea! by otawa: 4:32pm On May 16, 2010
To show his commitment to ushering in the era of electoral uprightness, President Goodluck Jonathan said he would set up a facebook account to create an interface for brilliant contributions from all Nigerians.

If above is TRUE. Then, Nigerians are in trouble.

what a pack of CRAP.

As if this is what will provide better LIFE to millions of suffering Nigerians.

As if this is what will build roads, school, hospitals, cloth the people.
Travel / Re: Afriqiyah Flight From South Africa To Tripoli, Libya - Plane Crashes, Kills 104. by otawa: 7:19pm On May 15, 2010
I had a flight booked with Air France soon after their plane came down and was thinking of cancelling when someone told me that beleive it or not, the safest airline to fly with is one that has just suffered a catastrophe because as they are currently under investigation, everything will be done by the book and safety will be ramped up during that period

umm. I dont think that will work with Russian airline with their moribound Tupolev.

Romance / Re: How Do I Know A Girl Who Luvs Me? by otawa: 6:56pm On May 15, 2010
in Nigeria of today, there is no LUV.

It is Adam Smith world: survival of the fittest.

so dont worry yourself, go with the flow.
Romance / Re: Age Discrimination by otawa: 6:54pm On May 15, 2010
age is a number.

It is meant to control your life and way you think.

important is the personality of the person.
Romance / Re: Can U Marry A Girl That Drink And Smoke? by otawa: 6:51pm On May 15, 2010
people pick up different ways of life as they grow up.

excess smoking + drinking is a problem.

yes, if she is occassional smoker + drinker.
Politics / Re: Nigeria May Go Bankrupt As Crude Oil Price Falls by otawa: 7:15pm On May 14, 2010
When prayerfully we're devoid of oil, there will be a temporary hardship, no doubt, but an opportunity for us to rise from the ashes of crude oil based exporting economy to one that would empasize our people; their talents, skills, and God given ingenuity

where do you live?

HARDSHIP has always being in Naija.

you never hear suffering and smilling?.
Travel / Re: Afriqiyah Flight From South Africa To Tripoli, Libya - Plane Crashes, Kills 104. by otawa: 7:13pm On May 14, 2010
This is really sad. I have flown with this airline a couple of times to London from Lagos, and they are not bad.
At the moment, I have a booking for September with them, with this incident, I may likely have a rethink, cos of fear.

naturally, we tend to be scared but dont forget the BIG ones also go down. Airfrance, AA etc.
Politics / Re: Nigeria May Go Bankrupt As Crude Oil Price Falls by otawa: 7:03pm On May 14, 2010
Isn't that the reason we save the excess. We've had an excess of almost $15 the whole year now. If the price goes down just $10 below to $57 and stays so for the rest of the year, we wouldn't have any real problems as the excess would serve as a comfortable buffer.

excess crude oil. ummm. did you see it?

where is it?

I wonder how a nation of 419 can be 419ned by their government.
Politics / Re: Who Will Call David Mark Senate To Order? by otawa: 7:01pm On May 14, 2010
You read things like this, you have no choice but to wonder-what kind of a country really is Nigeria? Right from the moment of swearing-in till the present day David Mark senate has been that of endless scandal.

too late to cry.

what do you expect from Mr David Mark who said telephone is not for the masses.

This is one of the people that ruin NATEL and landline in Nigeria.

Nigerians will alway get the rulers they deserve when they dont speak-up.

Kunle-A:

I want people in the house to give me an idea of how long it will take to drive form Ibadan to Abuja. What route do i take? Just wondering.

Thanks

You have to follow Ibadan-Ife road.

see map.

Plan for 6hours, bad road, police check points. From Lokoja to Abuja it is nice road but over speeding drivers.

This airline appears to have good safety record. But this is sad event.

Politics / Re: Against Babangida.com Website by otawa: 1:39pm On May 14, 2010
"Some of the participants in the project, mostly former journalists, lawyers and the like, wish to remain anonymous. They fear possible reprisals from the vengeful Babangida and his cohorts on them or their families, as exploits of this web site is bound to take its toil on the cabal."

And only a FOOL will believe 'faceless' individuals.

Tai Solarin, Col Umar, Gani, Soyinka and Co never hide behind any screen because they are true to their words.
