Fantastic thread Mannie Fresh

Hindsight is a biyatch!

As a young man fresh out of Uni with personal funds of approximately N1 million back in 2001, I wish I had invested N500,000 into Nigeria Breweries back then. My investment would be worth about N15 million now according to your calculations sad

Man chose to buy a Skirach and travel to London with the money instead. Well, in my next life I wont make the same mistake.

ZIM DRILL: they a lie it aint mandatory in UK, i do MOT repairs no is failed becoz it doesnt have

the feature is mainly found in swedish cars volvos and saab for volvos there is a sequence to switch them off but from cars that are from 2002 and above
From 2011, in the EU, all new cars and small vans must be fitted with DRLs.

My car is an 09 model and has LED DRLs fitted as standard.

I wont lie though, the thing looks cool and gets you noticed. People find it hard to believe when I tell them the LED DRLs influenced my choice of car

i disagree with you you are not a xtian, if you are go and read your bible very well about the personality of Jesus, and if you read and you still deny it or refuse to agree with then shame on your for hiding your true religion, beside that for denying Jesus as God in the pubic you are already denied before God and before the angels.
I am a Xtian but not a fanatic. I also like to apply a little common sense. Show me any passage in the bible that explains that Jesus is God (Not verses lost in translation)

texazzpete: Bla bla bla, the Holocaust did happen, only brain dead m0r0ns like you still express doubt. And you're completely sympathetic towards the murder of 3 million innocent men, women and Children.
You folks cling to the 'Zionist' term to justify your rampant anti-semitism, you racism and your idiocy.

Iran has a long history of supporting and arming terrorist groups. They have a long history of dangerous rhetoric calling for genocide. Forgive me if many right thinking folks feel concerned about the possibility of such an unstable nation having devices that can kill hundreds of thousands of people...or who can become a conduit pipe for nuclear material to terrorists.
Odenson!

I thought it was 6 million jews that were killed now you are saying it is 3 million.

FYI - outside of Israel, the largest number of jews live in....you guessed it.....Iran.

You didnt answer my question about Israel having nuclear weapons and not wanting Iran to acquire same

Israel used banned white phosphorus gas against the Palestinians quite recently.

I actually think the Iranians are mumu. How can Israel, a non-signatory to the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty try to make a signatory (Iran) comply? Makes no sense!
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Will Raze Tel Aviv To Ground If Israel Attacks: Ayatollah Khamenei by pappilo(m): 2:34pm On Mar 25, 2013
My only question is

Why do the Israeli's who have nuclear weapons not want Iran to acquire same?

For all the dumb so called Xtians who suck up to Israel, the Ayatollah only responded to threats which have been publicly made by hawks in Washington and Tel Aviv about attacking Irans nuclear facilities. I think it coming quite late from the Ayatollah considering these threats against Iran have been out there so long.

I am completely against the holocaust (if it did happen) but with all the trouble caused by these Zionists, I can somewhat understand why Hitler did what he did.

I am a Xtian by the way but Jesus is not God
Sports › Re: Godfrey Oboabona On Trial At Arsenal by pappilo(m): 7:24pm On Mar 24, 2013
joseph1013: While this is goodnews to some I consider it an INSULT that a Nigerian International (and an African Champion for that matter) would be offered a TRIAL. Did the nations cup not garner enough coverage for Wenger to see his performance. Can he offer a trial to a French International or Belgian International. Make Wenger park well jor. Offer him a contract straightaway abeg and stop ridiculing our national team.
The most painful thing about this comment is not that the poster is dumb but that someone was dumb enough to thank him.

The biggest stars in the world have gone on trial in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

Yaya Toure, Zlatan Ibrahimovic are some of the big names that have come on trial at Arsenal in the past. Carlos Tevez went to West Ham to play. That was a kind of trial because no one was willing to take a gamble on him. You really expect Arsene to just sign someone hitherto unknown before the Nations Cup just because he has played six games? He might as well have signed Younis Mahmoud, the striker who was the highest goal scorer and part of the Iraqi winning team at the 2007 AFC Asian Cup (Asia's Nations Cup equivalent)
Politics › Re: NNPC Driver Sells Fuels From His Truck....(pix) by pappilo(m): 8:40am On Mar 24, 2013
OP na oversabi

I believe Truck drivers are responsible for fuelling their own trucks just like commercial vehicle drivers.

All I can see this guy doing is selling a commodity he has excess of, to people in an area where there is scarcity.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. Infact the driver must be commended for being business savvy rather than an all out thief who would sell the kerosine he has been asked to deliver and mix the rest with water.

Direct your investigstions to the real thieves siphoning millions of dollars from the Nigerian treasury on a daily basis.

Cargoed: I think that is incredibly slow for a private investor, with low capital say less than 1mil. i need a vehicle that can give me my money back + the interest after 30days. So that i can re-invest it.
Not being rude but if you cant tie your money down for 90 days then you are far from being an investor. You are more like a gambler.

Please people in the know let us know the rates at the end of todays auction.

shymexx: Who's this guy and where are the BNP/EDL members in Chelsea or anywhere near SW/West London?? SMFDH!!!

I'm from London(born and raised) and I worked at Stanford bridge as a steward when I was in college on weekends and I never met any racist football fans there... Most of Chelsea supporters are rich and middle-class - and only Tottenham can boast of more rich supporters in London than Chelsea... And Arsenal is like the black people's team of London... I doubt you know anything about Chelsea FC...

The only team in London with racist supporters is MILLWALL FC and that's understandable because Bermondsey is a very racist area - and it has always been like that though it's just a stone throw(across the road) from Peckham... Stop chatting air from your village in Nigeria about what you don't know, mate... And check the handle before posting your ignorant comment next time..KMFT...
I fit sabi you be that o! When were you a steward at the Bridge? I was also a matchday steward there from 2003 to 2006. I was at the Shed End Lower initially, then later East Lower. Some of the guys I worked with back then are still there cos I see them on TV.

You are not sharp. In 1999, George W Bush couldn't name the president of nuclear armed Pakistan, The president of restive Caucasus of Chechnya and the prime minister of India. Why wasn't he dropped by the Republican party as their presidential candidate? He went on to become a 2 term president of the United States.

You post a lot in these political threads and you feel you know a lot but your contributions paint a picture of someone who is extremely clueless.I believe you are a mod so you need to study more and be objective with your posts.

Only in Nigeria

Where a convicted criminal is pardoned and an employee is suspended because he forgot the suffix of his employers web address.

I have laughed at the jokes but that is where it should end. The man should be allowed to carry on his job. We seem to support injustice when it is against our perceived enemies. In this case Mr Obafaiye Shem. I would like to know what he did wrong that has led to a suspension. Was it misconduct, gross miscounduct, deserving of a final warning or even a sack? Please pray tell.

I doubt the story anyway.

No be only Naija o. Armed robbers raided Brussels airport last month and made off with bullion worth €50 million. The only tging about western European robbers is they try not to kill anyone or fire any shots cause if they kill, the police are more likely to investigate the case deeper and if they are caught, then their jail terms will be longer.

Nigerian robbers like their American counterparts like to kill. Why? I dont know!

Health › Re: Facts About Colorectal Cancer by pappilo(m):
Thanks for this but unfortunately many wont read it and those who do will just glance through. A year ago I would have just glanced at this article and moved on but when these things hit close to home there is the natural tendency to develop an interest but unfortunately the knowledge gained from that interest is usually of no important use as the close relative or yourself is past the curative stage.

The ultimate killer in Colorectal cancer is Liver Metastasis i.e when the cancer cells have travelled from the colon to the liver. At this stage, there is no chance of a cure and only palliative treatment can be given to help prolong life often with a deteriorating quality of life.

Like the article you posted above alludes to, colorectal cancer presents no obvious symptoms and by the time it does e.g rapid unexplained weight loss, the cancer has advanced to stage IV which is incurable.

If I knew what I know now 10 years ago, I would have done things differently.

I love you dad.

El Caballa: Why didnt the Govt. Fly the innocent kid abroad.mayb he was not as important as the likes of Suntai.what a HELL called Nigeria!
Of course the bastard Fashola and co will not do this. they would rather pay for expired actors, former corrupt govt officials and the likes to go for malaria treatment abroad. Why do we even need to go abroad in the first place for tretament like this. Gabrielle Gifford survived a shot to the head and I am sure this young boy who managed to survice for 7 months with minimal medical care would have survived and recovered fully if he got the best available care.

Seun directed me here.

1. How many naira will you give me for £20,000?

2. Do you have an account I can pay the pounds to in the UK and you pay yhe naira into an account in Lagos.

Investment › Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by pappilo(m): 10:55am On Mar 10, 2013
A few questions for Seun and co

1. Are treasury bills issued all year long or is it sold on a need basis

2. Do you get a certificate to show you have purchased the bills

3. Is the interest paid upfront? I bought some about 12 years ago and I think I was given my interest upfront.

4. What is the current exchange rate for the English Pound (£)
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Was Nani's Red Card Justified? by pappilo(m): 12:20pm On Mar 06, 2013
afroconi: No... I don't think it was... It lacked intent, was the first foul of the game and besides was a yellow card offense! I will beat that referee
if you read the Fifa rules, there is no mention of intent. I hate Maure and i think it was a very very harsh red card but imagine if he blinded arbeloa without intent, do you think a red card will be justified then? Like Roy Keane said if you raise your foot that high then you are giving the referee a chance to send you off. Do you think Van Pursedtrings red card against Barcelona was justified? probably not but in that case and Nani's, the law of the game absolves both referees of doing anything wrong.

These guys see Arsenal as a milking ground and it is a pity.
Should they refuse to sell their shares to people who would take our Beloved Arsenal from the mess it is in now, May God in his infinite mercies punish them!

Poster there is no logic to getting a US visa. My brother was refused a student visa with over N50 million in his sponsors account and full fees for Tuition and board already paid. He was in the cubicle for less than 1 minute and The clownsular didnt even look at a single document except his passport and the visa form from the school. He was asked for his name and what he was going to do in the US and after he answered, he was told 'you are not qualified'

Contrast this with my mates senior brother who went for an interview with their late fathers statement that had all of N300,000 in it and got a visa to go to a $40,000 school (tuition & board). Just like in my brothers case, they didnt look at any documents, they just asked the same questions and told him to come back for his visa.
