yamakuza: How do you get a working girl pregnant on duty?

undecided
By doing it live.

Remember this was in 1983. AIDS had only been scientifically classified 3 years earlier so I'd imagine it was the norm to have sex with working girls without protection.

It was the responsibility of the working girl to use contraceptives cause getting knocked up meant no work for her plus the burden of a bastard child. Men could easily treat any STDs contracted with antibiotics

The story has just been resurrected again. It has been in the news since the early 90s but the powerful Clinton has always managed to suppress it. A state trooper Raymond Young, who was later rewarded with an Asst. Director of operations position at FEMA even admitted to British press that he drove Billy boy to link up with Bobbie Ann for their sexual liaisons.

No be only Naija dem dey use connections abi how da hell do you explain the appointment of a retired low ranked policeman to the post of Asst. Director?

I'm also sure, when he was there, you thought he is a rich fella (part of Naija mentality). But the truth of the matter is, you might be more successful than he is.
You are a grade 1 mor0n! Na person daft like this?

were your refused SA visa or something? Why are you bitter against people that emigrate. People have been emigrating since the beginning of time. People emigrate for various reasons and to better themselves and increase their earning potential is one of them.

speedyboi: Most Nigerians don't travel out of the country cos they are broke, They leave the country cos they want to 'travel out'. I've seen a person who resigned a well paid job, sold his property just to buy a ticket to 'travel out'. Only to become nuisance in another man's country. Nigerians have a huge pack of Inferiority complex in their DNA. I will always advise anyone; Instead of 'traveling out' to waste away your life, use your ticket money to start something out of your life. My 50 kobo.





And to those shouting racism, South Africa is a black nation for crying out loud!
Are you under 18? And to think 8 other people thanked you for this dumb comment. To say 'most' Nigerians emigrate just for the sake of it or just to 'travel out' as you put it is not only simplistic but it shows you dont have an understanding of real life issues hence my conclusion that you must be a teenager.

My Uni pal lost his wife and daughter to the mob in SA in the last major xenophobic attack on Nigerians in that crime infested hell hole.

If only our leaders managed our human and natural resources properly, why would any of us leave that country with its beaches, beautiful weather and food?

dbride: Well said; God said He would scatter the Jews, they would go into captivity and He would gather them again back to the land He already
promised them. God said they would be a small nation surrounded by enemies who would fight them but He God would destroy the said enemies.

Please ask them: which man created by God sets up an organisation without objectives or vision as to what he wants to achieve in the end? Obviously NO ONE. Then why is it that that same man draws conclusions about anything happening in this world w/out finding out what the Creator of this universe says concerning His creation? Everything about Israel, past present and future, is in the bible. Let's get knowledge. Note, our unbelief will not stop what God had planned and finished b4 the foundation of the world.

There is a time for everything; a time for men to do their thing and a time for GOD to do His thing!
Balderdash. Can you quote me the verse in the Bible which says all this?

That same God enabled Israel to build evil nuclear weapons and kill thousands of men, women and children. Do not forget that these men, women and children were created by God. God is all knowing and you expect me to believe that God allowed Israel to be forcefully created even though he knew all the problems that would come with such a creation.

Israel in the Bible is so so different from the geographical nation state called Israel today.

Tassembly: Last year,i went to my gtb branch oba akran to make this inquiry ,all they were saying is 1million for startup, this year again in april,i went to 2 gtbanks,at ikeja and secetariat,they told me the same thing,pls throw more light about how you get gtb to buy half a million for you.
I'll be honest and admit I didnt go through the staff in my branch. I havent even had my GT account for up to 1 month so I guess I was lucky.

My sister told one of the GT corporate bankers from HQ that deals with the company she works for that she wanted to buy TBills and the chap just told us to send him an email with the request and that was it.

The N500k I bought 2 days ago was my second investment but the first through my own account. My initial investment 2 weeks ago was over N1M but was done through my sisters account in her name as my own GT account wasn't fully opened before the auction. So if I can do a first TBills transaction on a brand new account for half a million naira, I cant understand why they wont help you buy.

The guy even brought account opening forms to my house. I guess it is the Nigerian factor where HQ are willing to accept N500k investments yet a branch of the same bank refuses.

Nigerians must learn to complain. Send an email to their head office or phone their contact centre. Buying TBills shouldnt be reserved for the rich. I would have told you to try First Bank but those ones are useless. They only do 91 day bills

[quote author=c.fours]I agree. this has nothing to do with Nigeria. I'm sure their parents (yoruba christians) have nothing to do with it. just bad peer socialization in British society I would say.
very bizarre incident.[/quote]These guys are 29 for Christ's sake! What have peers got to do with this. A 29 year old in Britain is a fully grown man and completely responsible for his actions. If you go looking for it, there is enough material out there in this internet age for a person to become self radicalised. This has nothing to do with their parents or peers. It is an unfortunate path they have chosen to take for reasons best know to them and only them should be held accountable, not Nigeria, not their parents, not their peers.

You can spin it all you like but while there is no justification for what these men have done, there is a direct correlation between their actions and Britain's imperialistic foreign policy. 2 weeks ago a video (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIEBH2Kln1U&feature=youtube_gdata_player) was widely circulated of a 'rebel' in Syria cutting out the internals of a Syrian soldier and biting on it. These 'rebels' are supported and funded by the West (http://edition.cnn.com/2013/02/28/world/meast/syria-us-funds)to fight against Assad (the enemy of my enemy mantra). Where was the shock and outrage when a member of the West's proxy army in Syria(the FSA) carried out an atrocity just as evil as was witnessed in Woolwich?

Most people are happy to get on with life and blank these kind of atrocities from their thoughts but just as you have soldiers willing to die to 'protect' their country Britain, you have 'soldiers' willing to die to protect 'their' oppressed people in Muslim lands. The west provides the biggest tools used to radicalise young men like the 2 Michaels. What better way to radicalise a young and angry muslim man than show him a picture of 50 dead women and children killed at a wedding party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_party_massacre) by a drone strike in Afghanistan/Iraq? Is the killing of women and children by NATO bombs in Afghanistan and Libya less worse than the murder of a serving soldier by 'Islamists' on the streets of London?

Unfortunately, this cycle of violence will continue until the West become the bigger brother, tone down their aggression and realise that an eye for an eye will leave us all blind.

Tassembly: I will like to know which is the best discount house to use for tbills,anyone have experience with meritrade and are they really discount house. Most banks accept from 1m above for tbills and only discount houses accept lower.since the fall of nse,i am really scared to lose a penny from this hard earned bejanmins. Advice is needed pls.if you have used meritrade in the past,let us know.
False. I bought Tbills worth N500,000 through GT Bank yesterday. Do not believe "dem say, dem say", go to your bank and tell them to give you more information about buying TBills. The more learned guys here have confirmed that banks will help buy TBills from N100,000 and above. It costs them nothing to help you buy as your application to buy will just form part of a combined bid. They will even make money off you, 0.125% + a possible 0.5% COT.

Ruq: I don't fuckin know.

This problem actually can be divided equally. When Nigerians see successful acts in the industry American or British. most times we try our best to claim they are Nigerians even if we know they were born and raised there, which is cray very cray i see no fuckin reason to claim Nationals that don't even see the existence of our country. it's not like they are half Nigerian/American or half whatever.

The thing is to actually stop claiming anyone who doesnt feel like being Nigerian itz fuckin pointless.

This guy aint even half Nigerian, he just a descendant of Nigerians.

It has just occurred to me that buying TBills is compliant with Islamic banking. When you buy TBills, you are not paid interest instead you are sold an instrument at a discounted rate for maturity at a future date.

I may be wrong but this is the way I interpret it. So any Muslim brothers or sisters in the house can also partake in buying TBills without contravening Islamic laws that forbid earning interest.

Seun: Your friend is mistaken. COT isn't charged on money used to buy fixed deposit because the money doesn't actually leave the bank, but it's charged for tbills because the money leaves the bank.
Why dont people just use their savings account then? No COT is charged on that.

Desanta: When you use a savings account, you do not pay COT. No other charge apart from the commission of 0.125%. I use a savings account with FBN plc. All the best in you bid.
This looks to be correct. I havent been charged yet I beleive. And I used a savings account too. I am waiting till the end of the month to see if/what I'll be charged. Not sure if GT took their charges when they debited my account.

I was furious First Bank only offered 91 day bills and when I complained that their COT charges will be prohibitive if I kept rolling over 91 day bills, my friend who works there explained that COT wasnt charged on money leaving your account to buy securities, fixed deposit e.t.c.

Pennywise: Actually the only solution to BH menace is a vigorous and decisive military campaign. We have had BH by other names in d past and we know what works. Your copy and paste theory from western media cannot apply here. And we did not need 'amnesty'.

Other than the obvious value of eliminating the hardcore elements a large campaign made particularly brutal and vicious will make it impossible for their leaders to recruit new foot soldiers financial inducement or promises of extra terrestrial rewards not withstanding. 4get the occasional headline, who want die? Its a tactic that worked to great effect during the military era. And it is the same pple and the same motivation.

Our soldiers should stop playing 'police'. They were not sent to make arrests. Feeding and catering to the soldiers alone is enuff burden on state resources. This is not the US. We need the money for weapons not to feed terrorists.
So you really believe that 120 able bodied boko haram members gathered in one place to administer burial rites for a nameless commander?

In the past, low level insurgency like the Maitasine of the 80s could be wiped out with brutal force but what you have failed to put into consideration is that boko haram are terrorists and the way they carry out their insurgency in this millennium has completely changed the rules of engagement. These terrorists are now affiliated with other terror groups worldwide and there is an endless supply of foreigners available to bolster their numbers.

Brutal force may work as was used to quell the long running Tamil resistance in Sri Lanka but such a move which involves the total annihilation on a people and their communities will put a serious dent in efforts to keep Nigeria one.
