My Nexus 4 is almost a year old and has facial recognition unlocking so why so all the hype about fingerprint unlocking in the iphone 5S? The only improvement over the iphone 5 is a faster processor which 99% of users wont notice.

Abeg make Google do quick release the Nexus 5 so I can buy it off contract for half the price ($300) of the low budget iphone 5C.

Ralphlauren: oh ok. my apologies.

No worries bro. Sorry if I came across a bit rude.

I have received a lot of good advice and help on this thread which is why I continue to contribute so as to help and advise others. This is probably in the top 5 most useful threads on Nairaland.

SKIPCY: surrender or not, Assad broke the international treaty on the use of chemical weapons and he has to be punished.

FYI Syria is not a signatory to the chemical weapons convention. Israel is also not a signatory so 3 years ago they used white phosphorous against Palestinian civilians and there was no red line then.

I doubt Assad is mad enough to use chemical weapons on the very day UN inspectors arrived in Damascus. It wasnt like the city was about to be overrun and he used it as last resort. It was just an unnecessary use of sarin. I suspect Al Qaeda did this (false flag) on behalf of the imperialists so they can intervene and act as Al Qaeda's Airforce.

Ralphlauren: thanks.

i never asked for the details of your account officer at gtb. all i wanted to know was the bank you deal with because it seems from your posts on this thread that you've been happy with their service.

Maybe you cant comprehend. You sure didnt ask me for his details but I was going to help by giving you his contacts if he didnt ask not to.

Buying a car instead of land. I surely regret not buying that N400,000 plot of land in Osapa in 2001. The same plot now goes for N30 million

Ralphlauren: papillo, what bank do you deal with?

GTB.

I have a contact at HQ who takes my request by email and sorts everything out for me. I would have given you his details but unfortunately, he has asked me not to.

Tassembly: Elar1 and others who have bid before for 364days tbills, seems its profit paid is still based on 91days and rolled over always for times making 364days coz i did 364 days in last bid at 10.5percent rate with a bank but the profit they pay me was for 91days,i called them and they told me tbills for 364 days profit is still paid quarterly and rolled over four times and profit paid every quarter and not once.anyone with experience should share

They are lying to you. The interest on 2 seperate 364 day Tbill purchases I made were paid in full (for the whole year). They are either using your interest money to do business or they bought you 91 day bills

RIP Mama.

The song touches my heart. If/When I get rich, I will immortalise this woman. I bet she never received one national award from our useless government either while alive or post-humously

Ralphlauren: very interesting thread.

can trading in TBills work for someone based abroad?

Why not?

You may have to make a trip to Nigeria just like I had to if you dont have the necessary things like a bank account, money, banking officer in place already. If you already have these things on ground then just instruct your banking officer to bid for you.

You missed out the most important

He must be a He-Biyatch then

Okuda: 1987 car with just 89k on it? I find that pretty hard to believe.

True. Unless he has owned it from new.

Bomboclat people. LWKMD @ pay your tithes from anywhere in the world

Demdem: It's unfortunate. With or without Assad, killings will continue. His greed to force himself Ib his people to me is the root cause. Surely he must go. I forsee a very bleak future for this country.

Yes Assad should go. But why is the west always only concerned about unfriendly Arab/Muslim sit tight leaders. When are the going to help Africa get rid of the Campaores, Biyas, Mugabes, Musevenis e.t.c.

The answer is never because these African dictators are friendly to them. Why does the west support revolution in Syria but not in Bahrain? Why do they help get rid of a dictator in Libya but help keep the one in Yemen in power?

It depends. Is looking at a woman's yansh a sin? Because I cant go a day without committing lookery. On the Tube, road, work. Sometimes I think its a curse. God help me.

Fake story. How did the they track him on a Blackberry 10 years ago?

I save Bleep all!

How can I save when 20 yrs remain for mortgage and credit card balance is in excess N3 million?

I just pay down my debts with anything left over after all monthly outgoings.

[quote author=Somorin#1]Los Angeles to Dallas, 3,000 miles, 24 hours non stop each way.

Probably did about 6 of those trips.[/quote]We are not children here now. How can you drive 24hrs non stop. Even if you be superman, you car go need petrol na!

Dafuq is Love-Peddler C?! Nicca called P.I.M.P C!

vanitty: It is the responsibility of the government to ensure its road is safe what we cannot do is try to guilt-trip the organisations into taking on the responsibilities of the government just because they are religious organisations.

@ Papillo, just listen to yourself and that is my bugbear about the whole situation, other sensible government plan ahead, no contract WILL be signed until all the terms and conditions are satisfied, our own government just leave everything to chance and see how it goes syndrome!! and when it hits the fan, shift the blame. Why give them planning permission and then lament afterwards.
Other organisations are still been given permission TILL DATE to build in already congested areas, common sense prevailing, aren't their any lessons learnt from that expressway!! 10 years from now, we will be blaming the organisations NOT the government and we expect Nigeria to be better, it is well!

Until the government are held into account and everyone speaks with a voice be you Muslim, Christian, Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba nothing i mean nothing will change, let us all they siddon dey look

Overall responsibility belongs to the government.

I agree with you 100%. The only thing to add is that the representatives of government that have allowed these people to perpetuate this rot didnt do it for free. Palms must have been greased.

Pistismie: are u sure u dey 9ja?

The guy dey Naija na. Where him wan go when High Commission don seize him passport? Unless him go emigrate go Mesebo, Benin Republic.

Fhemmmy: Blame your entertainer and not the church, cos he ought to ave known that there could be traffic and leave on time. . . "African time" syndrome is the issue with that.

I did. Infact I brushed the lead musician while cursing Pastor Oleboye and his cohorts.

[quote author=Somorin#1]I am not saying that the US is better than Nigeria per see but when you Guys preach to us to come home, this is what we have to come home to.

I have been stuck in this mess twice and it was not funny.

Can you just imagine the loss of productivity, time and money lost to his shenanegan?

Nigeria, which way forward?

Solution?:

Turn the road from Lagos to that location to at least a 5 lane highway and bill the chursh for the cost of providing as many police officers as necessary during this time to direct traffic and create orderliness.

It's simple really and I bet if the Governor or some Senator wanted to pass through that gridlock the traficc will clear like Moses and the Red Sea.[/quote]I donk know what obtains in the US but here in the UK you will hardly find anything situated right on the motorway. Even if it is situated in close proximity to the motorway it will only back up onto the motorway and you will have to take a slip road and still travel many miles before getting to an entrance. On Lagos - Ibadan, the entrance to Redemption camp is right there on the expressway!

Ola one: No sane nation will allow it. Imagine the stress and depression these places of worship cause Nigerians every weekend.

Something needs to be done.

My hatred for these miracle peddlers is borne out of a personal experience. At my wedding, there was no entertainment for half the event because the barstewards were having one of their fraudulent events and my musician got caught up in the traffic. Many guests also turned back and went home after sitting in traffic for hours.

vanitty: Crap, please take religion out of this. Useless government we have.

Any time there is a football match, concert or whatever happening lets say for example at Wembley park or race or whatever they dream up, the TFL takes responsibility and ensure there are plans put in place.
Will you tell Rihanna, Chelsea or whoever to arrange alternative transport for their fans!

Please dont talk about what you dont know. Do you know how much was set aside by Arsenal for the improvement of Highbury & Islington station when they were building Emirates stadium? Do you know that the Emirates stadium capacity is set at just over 60,000 because thats the number Transport chiefs agreed. Arsenal have a 40,000 season ticket waiting list and would conveniently fill up an 80,000 seater stadium but planning regs prevented them from building a stadium as large as they would have loved. These miracle peddlers on the expressway just build as they wish.

Just use Google and you'll find that AEG owners of The O2 contributed to the improvements at North Greenwich station. The developers of the area around Battersea Power station (SP Setia and Sime Darby) and the proposed new US embassy will provide significant funding for the Northern line extension to Battersea if the development is given the go ahead. Harrods contributed to redevelopment of Knightsbridge station and other examples abound. What has redeemed ever contributed to help improve Lagos Ibadan expressway apart from some dirt tracks off the expressway leading to car parks in the bush?

naptu2: Even in Lagos, Bicourtney has been refused planning permission to convert the old Federal Secretariat into luxury flats and UAC were issued several "stop work" orders when they were renovating 1004, because the government was concerned about the effect the estate would have on the surrounding area.

Good. So why was the same not done for the churches on the express road? You dont necessarily have to refuse planning permission but they can be told to build a 100,000 seater auditorium instead of a 1 million seater, asked to construct roads as part of their development e.t.c

Ola one: I wonder oo.

Winners Chapel was chased out of Bermondsey by Council officials. Well, that na Obodo Oyinbo

KICC attempted to set up shop in Dagenham, Essex just off the A13 on Thames Gateway land after they were sent packing from Stratford. Them pursue them quick. The local complained about effects on their lives and they were refused planning permission. Now they are based in the middle of nowhere in Chatham where they cant disrupt peoples lives.

In countries where things are done with sense, if your proposed business, new housing development, place of worship e.t.c is going to affect the lives of the local population, the developer is compelled to contribute a significant amount to the improvement of transport links, health centres e.t.c

For example, In Shepherds Bush, London, Westfield invested £200 million out of a total £1.7 billion project cost on transport improvements in the local area delivering a brand new Tube and Overground station.

Double post

Nigerians just use the word mansion anyhow. This is just one wing of a semi-detatched duplex. How cab this be a mansion? On Adeniyi Jones for that matter. There are hundreds of cribs better than this razz crib in far flung places like Odoguyan in Ikorodu sef
