These statistics are not a true reflection for comparison. It would have been better to state the percentage of each country's population that defecates openly.

The work-related injuries are unfortunate, but from the pictures, the workers appear to be receiving appropriate medical care, which is probably being paid for by the Chinese company.

Antoeni:
The study of foreign and local languages is world-wide practice among armies, in which officers and soldiers are encouraged to be multi-lingual.

Before now, the Nigerian Army officially encouraged the learning of French, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese and Swahili.

The learning of other languages should be encouraged, but should not be made compulsory.

These types of threads should not be on the front page.
We should not celebrate the killing of harmless wildlife creatures.

Abeg if I hang my self for 30 minutes , will I die , I just want to play a prank on my girlfriend

Your mother (no offence intended), or closest relative, would be in the best position to answer this question.

Since when did Nigeria start participating in winter Olympics?

Since 2018.

BloodyWafarian:
Nice one. Please what movie did you get this quote from?

Thanks. I got this quote from the American television series "Blacklist". It was not an original quote from Blacklist, but a reference from the late martial arts actor Bruce Lee.

(I will need to go back to the series to get the particular season and episode.)

Talk is cheap. What North Korea needs to do is very simple:
- Arrest and abduct President Trump.
- Take him to North Korea.
- Execute the "sentence".
- Wait for the consequences.

That's a king cobra, highly venomous!

There are no native king cobras in Nigeria, unless the snake was imported.

Why does the state/local government allow sand and gravel dumps by the roadside?

This story is not complete. Is this really a case of rape, or was the sex consensual? What is the grandma's side of the story? The man said he needed a place to stay for the night, and the grandma opened the door for him. He did not say he forced himself on the grandma. After the grandma passed out, she was taken to the hospital. The story does not suggest that the man tried to run away.

Why does it take up to 15 hours to travel from Lagos to Accra? Is Accra so far from Lagos?

orisaoko:
From the given examples:

1. 8+17 = 25, 32-17 = 15
25+15 = 40 Which is equivalent to adding the two triangles

2. 7+4=11, 3-4 = -1
11-1= 10 which is equivalent to adding the two triangles

Q1. 14+5=19, 7-5 = 2
19+2 = 21 which equals to 14+7 (Answer is A =14)

Q2. 10+16=26, 42-16=26
26+26 = 52 equals to 10+42=52 (Answer is B 16)

I almost thought you got it right. However, with the explanation you gave any number would be correct.

Sule Lamido even + Atiku are just noise makers, no man alive can challenge Sai Baba.

Sai Baba is like Real Madrid, too heavy for them to carry.

This is not the point. Any eligible person who wants to contest should be allowed to do so without any threat or intimidation. Whether the aspirant will win the primaries and the election is a different issue.

Even on Nairaland we have the option of not stating our gender, and several nairalanders have made this choice.

Someone is said to have been shot and killed by a soldier, but this thread is just full of tribal bashing. This is sad. Killing of unarmed civilians by soldiers should be condemned, whether it takes place in the south east, south south, south west or north.

kay29000:
Hmm! Why don't they have shoes on?

It seems to be a common sight in this country; whenever "non-VIP" persons are arrested, their footwear "disappears".

Towncrier247:
Kemi who seems close to families of the deceased and has been dishing out exclusive updates on her social media pages,wrote; "My TV producer source at Channels news tells me all three OBOHKN associates are the wider subject of the investigation.

What does "OBOHKN" mean?

GIDIBANKZ:
Hmmm...my prayer is dat they should put NIGERIA, BRAZIL, GERMANY, ARGENTINA IN ON GROUP.....MA SEE THE STRENGTH OF NIGERIA PLAYERS

This cannot happen. No two teams from the same continent, apart from Europe, can be in the same group. Brazil and Argentina cannot be grouped together.

astute28:
im confused im totally confused, bible say it has been appointed for a man to die once after this judgement so how can we explain this situation nw

Have you ever missed an appointment before?

The police just raided an area, picked up several young men and tagged them as miscreants and hoodlums. What was their offence?

Yoruba language may be encouraged by making it available for learning in primary and secondary schools. However, Yoruba language should not be made compulsory. Any additional language to be learnt should be left for the student/parents/school to decide. Once a subject is made compulsory, it reduces the student's options of choosing other subjects. It is possible that several students, including those who are able to speak Yoruba language fluently, would prefer to learn other subjects at school.

According to your report, it appears nothing has been stolen from your house. If you really suspect an intruder, install a surveillance camera and/or an alarm system.

A car speed of 249 mph (400 km per hour) would probably only be useful for motor racing.
Most countries have vehicle speed limits, the highest being 87 mph (140 km per hour).

Even if there is no speed limit (for example, in Germany), driving at 249 mph is simply not practicable on a public road.
