Very sad news . University of Lagos would command much more international repute. Now this beautiful place now has a name that makes it sound as if its a place that raises dullards. No disrespect to MKO, he was a great man but men! Its like changing University of London to Tony Blair University

This is the dumbest excuse I've heard in a long long while

Nothing wrong with it as long as both of you respect each other. To me, age doesn't really make a woman respect a man, a disrespectful woman would still show her true colours to an "aged" husband, its just a matter of time

Oh beloved Nigeria when shall thy wound heal?
Open your mouth and swallow the corrupt that have kept you down,
And take up thy place amongst thy equals,
I wait.

The much I like is subtle make up period. I hate heavy make-up The worst is when you see a lady with heavy foundation total turn-off

BTW @op I think you should add a poll to this thread and let the men vote!!!!

Piyke: Report predicts bleak future for Nigeria’s oil, gas reserves
Friday, 25 May 2012 00:00 By Sulaimon Salau Business Services - Business News

A NEW report published by the Business Monitor International has predicted a bleak future for Nigeria’s oil and gas reserve base. While the oil reserve has been estimated to peak at about 40.05 billion barrels in 2016, it will later decline to 27.90 billion barrels by 2021.

The 46 per cent decline may have been premised on the speculations that Nigeria’s oil and gas reserves will decline and may eventually dry up in the next 45 years.

However, the recent trend of investment in the industry due to uncertainty over the delayed Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) may be postulating the same.

I hope our leaders take note of this and begin to diversify the economy. The UAE decided to transform dubai into a must-go in tourism in anticipation of when their reserves run out in 2016. I guess our leaders don't really conceive that we would ever run out of the black gold.

I believe it will first hit Nigeria when UAE runs out of oil and gas in 2016 as predicted. The good thing is they've built an alternative; tourism.

To add insult to Injury . I think scenarios like this are needed to push nigeria back to the drawing board, but I just hope our leaders are proactive about this to prevent total break down of law and order.

I guess why he didn't bother naming the individual was because there's already a long list of convicts in government walking large so its not about names. And why bring problems to yourself for issues you know won't be followed up. I believe he just made the comment to illustrate his point and not as an end in itself

DECOtech: It kills me to see those lights misused.
One driver uses it at T-junctions believing he is telling other drivers he is neither making a right or left turn.
Then I asked him this question: can d driver coming frm his left side see d indicator at d right side of his car? He said nothing.
I just hope I've been able to correct the particular guy.

Although it strictly means your car has issues, lets also look at it this way; In UK for example there are lanes that when your on them it tells all other cars that ur heading across the round-about, but here in naija its not always so. In most states lanes are not that demarcated, so I really don't blame nigerians for using the hazard light to indicate that they're heading straight at a roundabout or intersection.

At least other road users understand what it means when its on at a junction

If theres no silver or golden goal nko? What will the teams do? Play to the death

A ring is not about how much it costs, its a sign of a covenant between two people. The bride is not complaining so why should any other person $25,000 is not beans anyway

I remember getting ripped off at a dealer in Ebonyi, nice setup that looks more like a honda place type of thing and they just did servicing and washing of cars in addition to selling new cars. Anyway, i took my 2003 EOD there to rotate my tires and wash my engine and discovered my brakes were almost out. They said they could put in the original honda brakes for 10k I hesitated but because I had a journey to make i told them to go ahead. They did. Then about 6weeks later I started hearing a grinding noise from my brakes. I then went to my regular mechanic in Enugu and alas! the so called original honda brake was the rubbish "Autoboss" brand sold for 1k.

Since then I never go to all these dealer that take your care into their garage to work on it in the name of being tech, I just scan the car with an OBD device and where necessary guide my mechanic on what to do. I've even done a few repairs myself

musKeeto: please NL, stop with the misleading titles. . PLANS is not the same thing as RESUMES

I believe the part in bold answers your question. The mine has been re-opened.

edoyad: VENTURES AFRICA – Nigeria’s Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Musa Sada, has revealed plans to bolster the country’s electricity generation capacity with coal, a local business daily has reported.





The minister made the disclosure during opening Zuma Coal Mines in Okobo, Kogi State in the Central region of Nigeria.





Sada said that the plan was to make sure that the country did not rely on one source to provide electricity; he said this has become necessary to prevent disappointment when shortage of gas and water occurs.



Chairman of Zuma Group, Innocent Ezuma said that the company has a reserve of of about 380 million tonnes of coal. Ezuma confirmed the minister’s optimism by declaring that within next 18 months; the company would be able to establish a reserve of two billion tonnes.



“Today, we are experiencing a lot of scarcity in water and gas. Our water levels have drastically reduced,” he said.



Ezuma also opined that in other counter challenges to Nigeria’s energy security, there is need “to introduce coal to the energy mix.”



Epileptic power supply has been a thorn in the flesh of economic activities in Africa’s 2nd largest economy for years, with projects and blueprints drawn up and abandoned severally.



Earlier this month, the Federal Government of Nigeria took a firm step at resolving the perennial crisis in the power sector when it signed an agreement with Siemens Limited Nigeria to support the power sector revolution through a range of power solutions and financing options

edoyad: Nigeria's Industrial Carbon Footprint is just a dot compared to any average Industrial country, not to mention Super Powers. Don't let these people deceive you, even if we quadrupled our emission levels we would not be remotely near Western levels. Yes the Ideal situation would be to focus on gas but Coal is cheap and available for now. It would create Jobs and help states like kogi generate much needed revenue. The Countries telling you to Shun Coal Still have massive Coal mines and Coal power Stations

Supported 100%!!! the US, UK, China etc all have coal powered energy stations. Although natural gas is cleaner, i still support diversifying our power supply. Some coal powered stations still exist in the country so I dont see anything wrong in getting them back online since while we still invest in natural gas. Because I tell Nigeria will need loads of power, tons of it when they finally sort out the power sector and all the big industries running on generators start plugging into the national grid

slimzme: I remember watching a match between El-kanemi warriors of Maidugiri
And sharks @ d Maiduguri township stadium,and I wonder how manage a GOAT
Got into d picth to eat grass,and d foolish ball boy was chasing the GOAT
In d field while d match was still going on

Men I laughed hard with tears in my eyes at the bolded part

From my own end, one thing I cannot endure about the NPL is the commentary , lots of shouting and headache

If Nigeria is serious about the NPL they should pump money into it; do what south africa did. SA even allowed barclays to manage the league for a while before handing it back to south africans.

debosky: ^^

These Orient guys have a good imagination though - can you imagine they think a 55,000 bpd refinery will provide the same proportion of products as the four existing refineries of 450,000 bpd capacity?

Na wa for investor presentation.

I think 55,000 is not bad to start after all PH refinery is 100,000bpd. I guess this capacity can be increased if they wish after the investors must have recouped initial investments and seek expansion.

This is totally wrong!!! Please lets not forget that some of the victims of scam artists never recovered, some even died as a result. I remember one American man after loosing his entire savings plus borrowed money to scam finally died in Nigeria when he became too desperate and wanted to track the yahoo yahoo guy by all means.

This is comparable to helping Boko haram make their bombs but not getting involved in the suicide plot

pro01: I wonder why most of you are so naive and sentimental about this issue. As a passionate Chelsea fan, I can say that Roman Abramovich made the right decision yet again. If you look at how Di Matteo won the FA cup and the Champions League, it is impossible not to notice that he was extremely lucky on too many occasions. The tactics were particularly woeful and a bad advertisement for the beautiful game of football. How long can you ride your luck? Besides, don't forget that he finished an embarrasing 6th in the league - and before you blame AVB for that, you must also remember that as at the time of AVB's sack, Chelsea were in 5th position. So you can't say Di Matteo improved Chelsea's leasgue form; if anything, he worsened it.

Having said that, and in light of the sheer fact that he managed to win the coveted UCL, the only fair thing to do is to give him at most a year 'probation' contract to see if he is indeed a good manager that can challenge for the league and all the other competitions. Don't forget also that the primary task Abramovich wants the next manager to achieve is to rebuild the team with new players and make the team's style of play more positive and entertaining. Regardless of Di Matteo's unprecedented luck, it is clear that he does not seem to have what it takes to achieve this difficult long-term task - not with the embarrasingly negative and ugly tactics Chelsea used to overcome Barcelona, Liverpool, and Bayern by sheer luck. The best thing is therefore to give him a short contract to see if he can prove himself. That is what our Big Boss Abramovich has done. What in the world is wrong with that?

He certainly didn't become so rich and successful by being foolishly sentimental. He has to take decisions based on empirics and critical evaluation of things.

So are you saying you guys won the uefa by luck? To me his game pattern didn't differ much from that of murinho, I still remember chelsea being outplayed in matches but in the end they'll win by a goal or two. I just feel that since this guy has delivered what he always wanted he should keep him. I also think Abramovich is part of chelseas problem, he's just too impatient. He's now looking for world class coach but he's also been sacking world class coaches.

In all this I just see too much money for the guy pocket

Is BH not a terrorist group? the US should give them the label joor! I believe if this thing is not checked BH would definitely want to start getting aboard planes. If they had no terrorist blood in them why did they bomb the UN building an international symbol. After all didn't the US say they recovered documents from Osama's house that showed he was in contact with BH

Its so unfortunate. I justr pray they release him without any charges. I wonder how many innocent people in this country have suffered similar fates

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is set to hand Roberto Di Matteo a one-year contract as boss after remaining unconvinced by the Italian’s managerial credentials, according to The Times.

Since his appointment on an interim basis following the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas in March, the former West Brom coach has rejuvenated the Blues, leading them to victories in the finals of both the FA Cup and the Champions League.

And, while Abramovich does not view Di Matteo as a top class manager, he has accepted that the 41-year-old deserves a further opportunity at Stamford Bridge after his remarkable achievements this season.

However, any decision is unlikely to be reached until next week, meaning the former Blues midfielder will depart for his preseason holiday with his future still undecided...

I thought Abramovich wanted the champions league so badly, now that its come, its now about a top class coach I think he should get the job without thinking twice. what do you think?

If you want peace of mind and nice customer service go with GTB. I have both GTB and diamond and can say that GTB is way better in my opinion. First bank is for those that don't mind crowd. One bank I can never bank with is Zenith, they only bow to money bags and have this air of pride about them, even down to the gate man

I really do not understand the need for all this clamouring about which tribe is the greatest. It really ought not to be, it would not get us anywhere. Every tribe has their issues, but why not find the good in them? Just like your wife/husband has her/his flaws but you choose to celebrate the good

Great people are not those who claim they are great nor those that shout the loudest. How many of the great people in history got their accolades by...

This looks like a plot to me. A number of things dont add up

1. This guy looks too well fed to be a suicide bomber (could be wrong though after all I've never met any of them)

2. Using grenades? BH has always used IED's

3. Knowing Nigerians, I was expecting that when I see the picture of this guy his face would be somewhat disfigured from the beating he would have received from the crowd.

4. How many of the arrested people have ever had the privilege of taking questions from journalists? I watched this guy taking questions from journalist on channels. You can see for yourself here: http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/05/21/man-caught-with-suspected-explosive-device-at-ministerial-briefing-in-abuja/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter

5. Observe that in the video he even has a spectacle clipped to his shirt in a cool way

I really wonder. Something is fishy about this.

Another Okija: @ Topic

None of the above...

Yesssssssss. I'll marry my wife over and over again. Such an understanding, loving, respectful...woman, the list goes on. No time for any other lady

lilkech: im sorry to say this but both your mums must be really old croonies to be spreading that false tale to their future generations. I am sure if i dont set the records straight you would go ahead to misinform your own children.

FIREWOOD: fast

STOVE: faster

GAS: fastest

easy as a.b.c, the only difference is that in the case of the firewood smoke from the fire manages to mix into the food and that gives it a kind of 'smokey' taste. If this taste is what your taste buds recognize as being 'sweet' then you are seriously on a very very long thing.

Why Mr. Biggs and Tantis never dey use firewood dey cook for their kitchen since? abi nor be 'FAST & SWEET' foods be their business? or u go wan talk say e better to use candle light take read for night pass electric bulb because na wetin ur mama and grandmama been use that year?

Actually adding a smokey taste to food is well practiced by top chefs for some menus. If you follow the british cooking series MasterChef you would see on occasions despite being in jand they would bring in some pieces of wood/charcoal into their professional kitchen just to add that smokey taste to food.

But with regards to the question I think it all depends on ur like for the smokey taste. People who don't like would count other means as the winner while people who have that craving would vote firewood the winner.
