dridowu: So Sad, may be i was lucky when abt 50 bee sting me in 2009 , but dat day i run like mad man and dos bee still run afta me. So painfull

Even one sting from a bee to a person who is allergic to insect stings is enough to cause death from an anaphylactic reaction (a very rapid allergic reaction)

I also had a nasty experience with bees many years ago had close 50 stings when I and a few friends raided a bee hive...very stupid thing to do as a teenager. From experience, outrunning a drove of bees is next to impossible

I've even lost track of this long saga. Has he reproduced the money or does he still claim the money is missing?

I'm in love with my netbook, only go to my laptop for high-end games. I'm using an Asus 1015PEM, dual core n has 13hrs battery, bought it for roughly 70k like 2 years back

Enugu has better road networks and drainage, the evidence of this is that Owerri has more traffic jams.
Enugu also trumps owerri as a place for shopping

wesley80: That's not fair. I've been to Enugu (about 6years ago anyway) and I wasn't mighty impressed with what I saw then, I passed through really old looking areas on my way to UNEC, I mean areas I could compare with Orji in Owerri so I believe every city has its untidy/ramschakle areas.
I do not think the most beautiful places in Owerri are in Douglas or Wetheral but other less important areas like Mbari, Ikenegbu, Prefab, MCC, World Bank etc. Enugu may be more beautiful but I believe Owerri will hold its own in any objective comparison.

Enugu has changed so so much from 6 years ago. Enugu has had two good administration and even just a year offers so much change.

noblezone: I am more disposed to at this moment in time to doubt Bakare's prophecies.

By this "before 2015 elections" "prophesy", it means that there will be election this year 2012, next year 2013 or 2014.

Assuming it was God who gave him this "priviledged" information, someone at the level of Bakare should know that "wisdom is the principal thing"

Sure, he foretold Abacha:s death and some other of his prophecies were correct, yet some of them did not come to pass.

Bakare is crossing his boundaries and those that love him should stand in the gap and pray for him. The worst thing that will happen to a prophet is for him to cross his boundaries and start standing against the same God is working for.

Anybody spiritually informed would know that it only took the "finger of God" for Jonathan to emerge the President of Nigeria at this time even against all odds.

My only burden is that Nigeria is not "one".

Are you a higher servant to judge thus?

abugbe: sef me don stop to waste money say me dey go chemist store for their fake drugs, na native mecidince me dey take now. But GOD dey sha...... Naija we go survive

Guy please watch your liver and kidneys o!!!!!!!!!!!
I know the number of patients we managed at unth for liver & kidney failure as a result of herbal remedies. I am not saying they don't work, the problem is that its dosing is not worked out scientifically so people end taking more than they need and ruin their organs. The seller may just tell u take two cups morning & night but that may contain a hundred times more than you need

As far as i'm concerned this is utter rubbish Is it the age of planes thats the issue or poor maintenance and unfavourable policies for the aviation sector

Age is not the issue British airways still flies planes above 20 years, as someone pointed out the Nigerian airways planes were under 15yrs yet they crashed due to...

After what was done to Richard Branson in Virgin Nigeria I wonder which "BigBrother" airline that would be interested in this.

This is nothing more than putting the cart before the horse.

So why is the DG of nafdac telling us this If i were the president he would have got his sack letter today When Dora Akunyeli was there we saw how things were moving fake companies getting busted everyday.

The bottom line is that the nafdac of today is very much to blame for this

After taking a hard look at this pack of cigarette left by a neighbor, I became sad at the fact that despite having this label "Smoking seriously harms you and those around you" a lot of people still smoke.

Why

Menopause commonly begins mid-forties so its actually not abnormal for for it to be as a result of menopause, however the age at which one reaches menopause tends to run in families some even reach mid 30'2 while some women mensurate to their 50's sef. So if you could ask ur mum when she reached menopause.

There is no medical basis for sex being a trigger for menses. A visit to a gynaecologist would help rule out all the possible causes which include: underweight/obesity, hormonal imbalance, gynae infections, menopause, stress etc

Congrats on your up coming wedding. There is nothing God cannot do

WizElder .... just joking

I really fear for some of the views some of us are giving here. some have suggested the OP "run and catch up with his wife's earnings.

No wonder, this is why a number of men suppress their wives for fear that the woman may earn more than him if he allows her progress. As far as I am concerned marriage is not a competition where the man is competing to bring in more money, no doubt a man is the provider definitely.

I think the point here remains that there should be some agreement in spending between couples. I really respect my wife because she tells me of major spendings that she wants to carry out even though its "her" money and were both wealthy.
This act conveys respect and makes me want to do anything for her.
Personally as long as I'm doing my best I wouldn't mind if tomorrow my wife starts earning more than me, after all its our money; my money her money, her money my money.

most unfortunate. The worlds 8th largest oil producer in the world and largest producer in Africa importing from on of the poorest nations on the planet.

Why can't we just have our own refineries

Yet we are thinking of nuclear energy...this is akin to a baby running before learning to crawl

Do you think Uzbekistan is better than naija? I do not think so o, even though i can't say for sure. Do some google work on it.

For me there are some countries i can never venture visiting let alone going to settle. Uz is one of them.

All this bombing is killing what little tourism we have left. So much for NSA's dialogue

vezycash: [size=15pt]in simple words - zero collateral.[/size]
It is sound business practice to request something in equal or far valuable than the amount you are lending
Anyone who lends money without collecting real collateral is begging to be duped.

dannywest: No collateral!

My best guess is that the op is not talking about formal bank loans and stuff like that. Or do you mean you collect collateral from your friends and family

Well for me i think for some people its just a state of mind and habit. people like this would have the money and not pay back. It just beats my imagination. My technique for dealing with such people is not to lend but to dash or lend them the amount i can fore-go at the time.

Very unfortunate, yet some are clamouring for nuclear energy. I just pity the city and state where those proposed reactors would be sited .

The day is bright

O happy day
a day of Joy

all4naija: You are talking about volume and composition by sector. You speak as if oil is not being imported into the country. You speak as if oil products are not be used within the country. However, the largest contributor in Nigeria case is oil.

Why i said that is because of the part in bold by the OP, suggesting that agriculture earns more money for Nigeria. The fact is that good that are produced and consumed locally without being exported still make up GDP. My point is Agriculture may makes up 40% of our GDP, but that doesn't mean it brings 40% of our earnings as a nation.

shymex: ^^^^We can definitely survive without the oil from Niger/Delta - and I hope this will shut certain people up about other regions being parasitic..

We make more money from Agriculture than oil...

[quote author=shymmex][/quote]GDP is the total value of all goods and services produced in an economy. These statistics does not represent money earned from exports by nigeria rather it just represents the total value of all produced for the given year.

There is no doubt that oil is our biggest earner in terms of exports. GDP is not value of goods exported. hope this helps

For those of us that schooled in the east, this book reminds me of those days of singing the modified version of the "don't play my rocking roll tonight. It went like this:

Don't play with Akpu m'neno
Don't play with Akpu m'neno
Don't play with Akpu m'neno tonight!

Primary school days!

To tell you how bad the situation is the NSA has the contacts of key Boko Haram boys

Where did he get it from?
The people that gave him those contacts obviously know these people
Its so unfortunate that these insurgents are being sponsored by key northerners
GEJ should go after the kings, queens, knights and rooks and not the pawns. I guess his fear is that such a move may lead down a part for the strong with a very steep climb

Greyhound Logistics or express

Is my 2 cents.

dani1luv: beht wait bro, must your in-laws fly dana??

Just asking!!

I never said they flew dana, just said they were flying today. Owerri to Lagos to be precise

They failed on this one More annoying is that the deadline was 3rd july 2012, So a man that fed his children with okada money yesterday should suddenly spring a surprise job today and get paid today and then feed his children SMH

Such laws should have the cushion of time. At least fix a deadline for next year or so, so that all those affected would plan for an alternate stream of income within the grace period.

This may lead to a sudden increase in crime just as many lost their jobs suddenly

dani1luv: seriously there's nothing wrong with this thread na??

Jez say Amen, and LOL...then get out!!

kpishikum!!!

Thats because none of your loved ones flew today. My heart sank as i remembered my in-laws entire family was flying today. Guess you won't understand how heart wrenching it was and the suspense as a tried desperately to view the thread..

yahla: Was at Oyingbo spare parts market. The dude removed from an old pump and gave it to me for free.

Thanks..

I managed to find a few pics of obudu on the web. Men! i definitely have to visit this place!
For some reason i'm not able to paste them here but visit http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150414761664263&set=a.10150414756074263.369828.363111729262&type=1&theater to see them all!

Please stop this kind of very expensive joke
I have family traveling today and my heart pounded terribly till i opened this up. Although i understand your logic its too expensive for a joke
