Laycawn: Hello house, I got admitted for MSc Communication Engineering FT. I don't reside in Lagos and I don't really have anyone I would like to stay with over there. I am also currently nursing a dislocated shoulder which would make it difficult to commute around Lagos, even if I had wanted to travel down. All my narratives is just because I want to know if it is safe and advisable to pay the fees online so that I can continue with my registration. That way, I will only travel over for the screening thereby cutting cost on lodging. So, again, the question is, is it safe AND advisable to make my payments online? pls confirm if you ve gotten the courses. if u haven't , I'll get them today for u when I visit school. Sorry about your shoulder, wish you quick recovery. |

Crime › Re: Jennifer Akudihor, Nigerian Woman On Holiday In The US Shoplifts Massively by patwilly(m): 12:54pm On Sep 21, 2015 |
Hidentity: Again, I'll repeat this!
I think that I have observed this for quite a while and I think that it need be said.
I expressed my concern on why Nigerian youths remain leaders of tomorrow even till tomorrow to someone a few years back, and he suggested that I become a member of a few social media outfits. I did- Nairaland is one. He didn't say more, but I have seen more.
E-friends, it is easier to trap the water in an ocean in a glass cup than it is to see one reasonable comment on a page on Nairaland. Is it that hard to just ignore a topic if one has nothing intellectually benefiting or wise to say than insult the feelings of a tribe, religion or sex?
Look at it from here, a lot of unemployed youths are here lamenting and the story continues year in and out. If you were an employer, are you likely to take someone on a forum like this serious to conduct the affairs of your business or firm? These things matter, but it seems we either don't know or we just deny that we don't. There are people of incredible and distinguished personalities here, but with these comments fanning the embers of ethnic war, can youths like us be left with sensitive issues like nation building?
We can't lament that we are being sidelined when we lack the diplomatic tact and mental credential to make a simple remarkable comment. Insult me for this, I don't care- people take to insult when they are short of logic. But it is saddening that these e-children of ethnic war are thought to mirror the rest of us who are not in the bandwagon of victims of social, moral and intellectual decadence.
I expected that Seun or the mods would fashion out a way to halt this madness. The truth is that not paying attention to little details has lead to several wars and disasters. If this trend of singling out an ethnic group as criminals, rapists or ritualists subsists, we all may not be able to tell the story of the consequences. We can choose our actions, but we cannot choose the consequences, why don't you just keep quiet or type something worthwhile?
I am a proud Yoruba and a Christain, but I know that in my formation process, I became human first before becoming a Yoruba or a Christian and as long as the next person is human, I should be fair to him. Why can't we just live and let live? The leaders of tomorrow are just more terrible than the ones of today.
If an Igbo person is caught for doing drugs, it is not because he is Igbo- it is because of the inherent criminal nature in every human which he didn't curb. If one Hausa man is caught for terrorism, it is not because Hausa people are terrorists, it is because of the inhumane part of every human he did not restrict. If a Yoruba man is caught for raping, it does not make Yoruba people rapists, it is because that particular Yoruba man failed to control the animal instinct in him. Committing crime is never an identity of any tribe or ethnic group because speaking English does not make one a Briton.
The future awaits us- we cannot succeed in giving it the best with the way we reason, comment and react here.
Thanks Everyone on naira land should like this post. You owe it as a duty to God and your conscience to do so. Believe you me, you stand a higher chance of blessings from your creator! |

hedonistic: Na don't get me wrong. It's not about class or whatever. Shomolu and its fellow no-no areas like Bariga and Mushin are too volatile to attract such huge rents. Am I mad to pay N300k for a mini flat in these areas? Even free thanks but no thanks. Google 'Shomolu' and I'm sure all you would find are unending reports of cult clashes , street gangs activities, robberies rape, etc. Very hopeless area.
Better go to other areas like Mafoluku, Egbeda, and the likes were you'd get apartments in that rent category or less and enjoy relative peace of mind. OK I get you. I actually want a place closer to ijora. |

Eziachi: I remember Biafra fallen heroes every single day not just on any special day. I remembered them every morning taking shower as I wash over my bullet wound mark on my upper arm. I remembered them everyday because my big brother died at Nsukka front without us having the privilege of burying him decently. 13 members of my immediate family died on a single air raid including my two grandparents. I remembered them every day because my childhood best friend at Bishop Shanahan college whom I joined the Biafra army the same day and fought on the same unit was killed right beside me in Ogoja. And was the one that have to tell his peasant parents in person that he aren't coming back. He was from a town called Eziachi, that's where my Nairaland name came from. And I was just 17. Deepest Respect Sir! This almost brought tears to my eyes. |

Politics › House Rent In Lagos,the Agent Fee Conundrum! by patwilly(op): 10:32pm On Aug 30, 2015 |
Alright,Let's say we overlook the fact that landlords In Lagos demand two years rent upfront, which In my humble opinion is quite harsh as it is..fast forwards a bit, and the landlord demands an additional ten percent "agent " fee and ten percent "agreement ".fee, that's ten percent of what you paid for a combined two years as rent. Then there's another fee, called caution /damages fee which is usually ten percent again.. Mind you all the "ten percents" I've listed above is to be paid as a lump sum! Let me make the picture a little clearer..I approached a landlord in Shomolu area of Lagos for a mini flat apartment - that's a room and parlor.. This Landlord demanded I paid 300k for a year for the two rooms, that's 600k for two years,..huh!?? yes that's how expensive houses are in that area, then he said to be paid along with the 600k is an extra 150k, 50k agent fee, 50k agreement, 50k damages /caution fee, that's a lump sum of 750k to be paid at once! I mean I don't get it?? Isn't this plain illegality and a rip off? Why is this sort if thing a kind of tradition in Lagos? in most cases, even if you approach the landlord directly, you still get to pay all the other fees as listed above.. To me its blatant criminality and no one is saying anything about it? What is it about for fecks sake??!! |

idgerrard: Mourinho names and shames Chelsea flops
The Blues have conceded five goals in the opening two games of the season, casting doubt over their ability to retain the Premier League title Jose Mourinhohas named and shamed the players that have let down Chelseaso far this season. The Blues have yet to win a Premier League game, drawing their opener against Swansea 2-2 and falling to a heavy 3-0 loss at Manchester City last weekend. And Mourinho admits he is unhappy with the efforts of some of this players. He told reporters: "I'm not happy with anyone. "I'm not happy with Branislav Ivanovic's form, Gary Cahill, John Terry, Cesar Azpilicueta, Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic." "I'm not happy with my form because I used to get better results than I'm getting now." Chelsea head to West Brom this weekend looking to get their title defence back on track and Mourinho admits he is striving to do all he can to get the Blues back on song. "I go to the gym every day now to get fitter. I was going twice a week, but with no discipline. Maybe I need more action on the touchline, so I need to be fitter. "What we are doing this week is being more active in training, watching more videos, working harder. "We have one point from two matches. I'm not happy at all. I'm not happy with anyone. "I'm either happy with everybody or not happy with anyone." Why is goal.com displaying only mobile view on my phone? |

President Buhari in an interview before he became president said Gen. Hassan Usman Katsina's grand father, an emir, left his position as emir of Katsina and fought as a soldier in Burma. He died there. He was quite young and loved adventure he said. Gen Katsina was one time Nigerian Chief of Army Staff and military Governor of then Northern Region. He died in 1997. |

Politics › Re: Photo: General Murtala Mohammed Shakes Hand With Lt. Col. Babangida In 1975 by patwilly(m): 1:33pm On Jul 15, 2015 |
jiorhemen: It was an error, not that OBJ did not know or was wrong, it was just a mistake. I also read that part you referred to. Babangida and Vatsa got promoted the same day to the next rank until they got to Major General. Buhari was always promoted ahead of Babangida until they both got to Major General. Both were majors during the civil war. Apart from the records in the Army secretariat which I am privy to, during the last presidential campaign in Minna, when General Buhari and APC visited IBB in his house in Minna, I was there live when General Babangida made reference to the fact that both of them were 'young majors during the war'. Then that aside, even if it happened that there was a time IBB was ahead of Buhari by rank before Buhari overtook (though it never happened), it is not an aberration. In the military, there are some occasions where a junior is promoted before his senior. It happens a lot. Lots of factors are responsible for this, but I can't start explaining that now. Even it is still happening till now. There was a time my brother was promoted ahead of a senior fighter pilot who instructed him in air combat training. However, this my brother's senior was later promoted and now occupies a bigger office than my brother who is actually his junior, but got promoted before him. Let me help you here. Considering the "staff" strength of the entire officer corps of the Nigerian army during the war which was quite small , and for purposes of expediency , a good number of officers were promoted temporal/ substantial majors or captains as the case may be. this was to ensure only officers of a certain rank could command platoons/ battalions depending on the need.Mind you this is not standard practice but for emergencies like wartime etc . So it is possible IBB wore the ranks of a major before Buhari despite the former being his junior. These things were commonplace to suit the need of a particular operation or purpose during the war thats all. |
