Oju enu e lo.

Ediot!

On top of Jarus!

Look at that fat woman, too fat to save herself. Maybe this will teach her and others some lesson.


Very lazy rescuers.

How can people die from ordinary bomb blasts?

okada_man:
Shey they allow fresh Ugwu leaves?

No. Those are for animals. What is for goat, leave them for goats. What is wrong with you people? It is a phocking 19 hours flight, what do you think would happen to your ugwu leaves?


There are better leaves here if you are bent on eating goat food. Just leave your dorty ugwu leaves for the goats you are leaving behind in Africa, your parents and siblings I mean.

@OP

Besides not bringing any food here, please leave your breadi Agege accent, ara oko style of dressing and primitive behavior behind please. We are sick of you people. What are you coming here to do? Why cant you just stay in you goddamn country.

Too much of you guys here anyway.

And yes, like Coogar already intimated, there are African stores here, they have everything you could ever need. No need embarrassing us as a group with those smelly egusi or whatever crap you are bringing. Leave all your Senegalese, agbada, aso oke, iro and buba behind, we don't need you all to come here wearing your demeaning, dirty attire.  For god sake, this is a first rate country, you need to behave like a first rate person, not licking egusi soup with your hand, and then afterwards use the same hand to "tamba.'  And drop that your phocking accent ASAP.

And if you are coming here to sell food, please please learn the basics of food preservation. I am sick of eating Nigerian foods and having to call out from work the following day because my diarrhea which I seldom get with other ethnic foods would not let me 'gbadun' my life.

And would you please not speak your language in public, and if you absolutely have to speak your stupiddd yoruba or Ibo language, for the love of everything civil, KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN.

GEJ is out of his depth, unfortunately.

Aigbofa:
They can't. Unless they know Nigeria more than Nigerians, which I really doubt. This is what happens when our "wetin you carry" police is required to do some serious work.

And Yes, they know Nigeria more than Nigerians. At least the CIA does.

You are looking at it the wrong way. The FBI crime labs are the most advanced crime processing labs in the world. The FBI is going there to retrieve finger prints, look at bomb specifications, recorded tapes etc. What do you think the UN, US embassies in Lagos and Abuja do? They collect data on all of us. I have no doubt in my mind that if the FBI do not already know more about Boko haram than our incompetent officers, they will learn about them in the next few days and would have more information than the Nigerian police  and SSS could ever imagine. We are talking about White people here, They don't mess around and the kind of technology they have would make babalawos look ordinary.

Of course, they might not know the short cut to Borno more than Nigerians, but with their drones and googlemap and NASA maps, they will kill more Boko Haramites before you could finish one round of se3x with Ileke, [size=4pt]assuming you have premature ejaculation and jedi jedi[/size]. Look at what they did in Afghanistan, Pakistan with Osama, Iraq, Yemen etc. You do know that without stepping foot on Yemen, they have been able to give the Yemen authorities more information about the whereabouts of Awlaki that the Yemen authorities could ever have.

This is where competence and taking your job seriously take you. Remember how the Nigerian police messed up Ige's investigation. They are not about to allow that to happen again, especially when it has to do with the UN and who knows how many White people were killed.


See how our Nigerian experts handles Ige's case:

To the chagrin of the visitors, the ballistics expert on Mrs. Ojomo's team "confided that unspent shotgun shells left at the crime scene were not processed for latent fingerprints and were handled by at least six police officials before being placed in a paper envelope and marked as evidence".

"Similar examples of poor collection and preservation of crime scene evidence," the ambassador said, "were evident, including the removal of the body, the movement of a suitcase that the assailant reportedly opened and searched, and the failure to take fingerprints of the attorney general to compare with unknown fingerprints found at the crime scene." Mrs. Ojomo reportedly conceded that the investigation was sloppy. Mr. Jeter said that during the meeting, the police AIG "candidly expressed disappointment in her team's performance and noted that these deficiencies highlighted the need for advanced training for CID investigators - training that could be provided by the USG, particularly the FBI, in evidence collection and forensic analysis".

[size=18pt]The feeling of the American officials after meeting with Mrs. Ojomo and her team was one of disbelief as they "found a group of under-trained and ill-equipped investigators struggling with a complex criminal investigation."[/size]


[size=15pt]"These deficiencies were underscored by an offer from Mrs. Ojomo herself to open the envelope containing the gunmen's unspent shells and give these to the FBI agents for examination in her office (which would have further contaminated the evidence)."[/size] The American ambassador, however, noted that the police wanted their investigation to yield a successful prosecution. He urged the US government to extend its assistance to the Nigerian police to aid it in its investigations.

I am in support of the FBI taking over jare. Let them take over for good!

velo10:
Don't blame this move. The UN is their interest. We'd do the same if our agencies abroad were attacked, at least to some extent.

[size=15pt]ROFLMAO[/size]

Good. It is time the White house take over Asorock.

NO. Free will baby.

Nothing says couple better than the husband and wife to be wearing different outfits for introduction.



What better way to introduce wahala into the family, especially if you did not inform the wife-to-be ahead of time.

Walkopet:
@ all Abeg wat if d CHILD continue to fail only one particular subject i.e. MATHEmatics. And he/she has sat 4 d exams like 5 times. Take for example:- ENGLISH:-B3
*MATHS*E8
CHEMISTRY:-C4
BIOLOGY:-C6
PHYSICS:-C4
AGRIC:-A1
GEOGRAPHY:-B3
YORUBA:-B2
ECONOMICS:-C5
And dsame tin happen like 4-5yrs CONSECUTIVELY, Won't u help such a STUDENT in dat MATHEMATICAL aspect or is d student not trying all his BEST?

If you fail the same subject for 4-5 years, then it is time to go see a babalawo. or you could take your A1 in Agric and go farm. Options baby, not all that doom. Maybe school is not just your thing. Not everyone is as blessed academically as yours truly.

Obianuju has been exposed oooooo

@kpoli, is Obianuju pretty? How are her teeth? Any body odour? BV? halitosis? What about her b/o/o-bies, what do they look like? How would you describe her? ugly, fugly, or neutral

abelian:
And it wasn't stated anywhere in the article that the said engineers were graduates of Nigerian universities or that the engineers were Nigerian nationals, what they clearly said was "Nigerian engineers" which could mean engineers under the employment of the Nigerian Govt.
But as usual, we let our low self esteem cloud our sense of reasoning and we jump into conclusion that the "nigerian engineers" didn't do anything. We just don't believe in ourselves.

SMH

Is this the first time you are hearing of this project? They have  a website, BTW. Try reading it before misusing your coconut head. Are you also an Engineer in the diaspora? How many Engineers from Maryland can you call up in the middle of the night? And dont you think I need some pum-pum in my life?

pinkrex:
I dont really care about whoever developed it or how it was made, what i care about is that we have a state of the art satellite trying to ease our per-vase pains. What if this money was looted instead of the current utilization??

Another confused Nigerian wanna-be!

Ediot diasporan

okada_man:
I've not seen ekt_bear like this before.

I can have that effect on people. And, I revel in my ability at bringing out the otherside of our "intellectual elite."




I press buttons for a living!

moonraker:
heres mine *short time"

Whatz your problem small boy, GTFOH

Nayah:
Premechaz, and me like your rudness lol  

Awesome.

What part of France do you reside in?  Hold on, will give you my email very soon.

^^^ Me likey your big b/-o-obi/es

texazzpete:
Lol @ the people who don't get the sarcasm in the OP

You mean people like Eko" Omotoyiogbon mumuski" Ile?

not worth it!

not worth it.

not worth it

You aren't worth it. Honestly, you really aren't. Which is why I don't pay you any attention, unless you decide to draw my attention to yourself.

Awwwwwwww. Fstranger CRYING.

[size=18pt]ROFLMAO![/size]

uncalled for!

lala land!

ekt_bear:
It says in the BBC article that Nigerian engineers were on site in this facility in the UK to build the satellite.

In other words, Nigeria didn't just buy the tech alone, but sent its engineers to help build it.

Do you dispute this claim made by the BBC article? So you are claiming that contrary to what it says and contrary to what that picture implies, there was in fact no Nigerian labor used in building the satellites?

Let me see what exactly you disagree with, lest you backtrack or hide after I begin.

In academic institutions, one or two medical students are present for every surgery case. Does that mean that the surgery was done with the help of those medical students? Hells No, of course.

Are you saying that paralegals are to be given credit for every case won in courts by REAL LAWYERS? Hellz No

what part of  "British satellite specialists, Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), signed a contract with NARSDA in 2006 for the supply of the NigeriaSat-2 Earth observation satellite, related ground infrastructure and [size=18pt]a training programme[/size] to further develop an indigenous space capability in the Federal Republic of Nigeria" do you not understand?

http://sturvs.com/300538/


We don't even have a space program in any of our universities and the Nigerians sent there all schooled in Nigeria. The truth is no Nigerian brain/intellect was involved. This is solely foreign designed and foreign operated. The Nigerians were sent to Surrey to JUST observe and run errands. Misplaced priority in my opinion. But hey, i know you disagree with my point, and I accept you are way smarter and more knowledgeable than me. You just somehow know it all.

Aigbofa:
LOL

I think she should give your koko a middle parting with a razor sharp knive!!!

You like trouble. LOL

NO NO NO, Thats not what I want ooooooo. Kamari

How is your weekend? Thought Irene blew you and Ileke to lala land. No?

Err. Pessimism is fine, I'm a pessimist too.

But did you guys miss this?

[size=18pt]I don't think it is fair to say they just bought the technology.[/size] Of course, who knows how much "help" the Nigerian engineers received. But in order to walk, first you gotta crawl.

NL intellectuals a la baby katzs. Dont you just love 'em. You 'gats' to love their audacity to make bold proclamations on everything Nigeria. Always wrong but never humble.

The latest Earth observation satellites from UK small satellite manufacturer Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) were successfully launched today at 07:12:20 UTC onboard a Dnepr rocket from Yasny in southern Russia. NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X will significantly boost African capabilities for natural resource management, as well as aid disaster relief through the Disaster Monitoring Constellation.


Science Minister David Willetts said: “The completion of this significant engineering project is testament to the success of the rapidly growing UK space industry. Not only are we producing technology and services that are in global demand but we are also helping more countries use satellite imagery to tackle important issues, including urban development and disaster relief.”

The two satellites,[size=18pt] built under contract[/size] with the Nigerian National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), will provide Nigeria with the ability to enhance food security through monthly crop monitoring, assist with burgeoning urban planning demands and, through the development of engineering skills, will advance the growth of new technologies in Nigeria.

No wonder some our N/L intellectuals do better on reading and comprehension exams than the rest of us. Thank God I failed WAEC.

Effrontery and chutzpah perhaps, real intellect maybe not so much. Long live our intellectuals.

Thank God I am an illiterate!

[size=18pt]Nigeria: Sat X and Sat 2 - We Have Been Fooled Again![/size]

Abraham Lincoln was famous for saying that you can fool some of the people sometimes but can't fool all the people all the time. I guess Nigeria is an exception to this centuries-old truth.

We have been fooled again. With the memory of the SAT 1 scam and its mysterious disappearance still fresh in our memories, the Nigerian government once again on August 17, 2011, announced the launch of yet another two phantom satellites, namely SAT X, allegedly built by



Nigerians; and SAT 2 said to have been built by Nigerians in partnership with some British scientists, though both were launched in Russia.

Without further ado, the crassness and the utter illogicality of this national bragging is self-evident. [size=18pt]Indeed if credit goes to anyone, it should to the Russians and the British. For indeed this project is but a testament to the success of the rapidly growing UK space industry. Here is what Britain's science minister David Willets has to say over the successful launching on Wednesday: "Not only are we producing technology and services that are in global demand but we are also helping more countries use satellite imagery to tackle important issues, including urban development and disaster relief."[/size]

Obviously, from the tenor of the above remark by Mr Willets, Nigeria is just another purchaser of a product designed and launched by the British technological space agency with the help of Russia's space launching base, a convenient training tool for the fledgling British space industry.



[size=15pt]It is beyond argument that these new SATs or whatever names they are called could not have been designed by Nigerians as boastfully asserted by Mr President, since our analogue space agency manned by a team of political experts rather than scientific experts lack the essential expertise to even produce a dummy spacecraft.[/size]

Given the venal and corrupt proclivities of our government perhaps what ordinary Nigerians should perhaps be concerned about is the stupendous amount of our national resources wasted on this white elephant project - typical of any project needing substantial amount of technical expertise.

At a time when ordinary Nigerians are cringing under the weight of crushing poverty, when they cannot afford the most mundane needs of life such as; shelter, decent meals and simple education. When most of our roads are death traps, when pregnant mothers have no access to basic healthcare delivery.

When our aged parents are begging for alms on the road because one idiot (emphasis mine) somewhere has embezzled their pension, when seventy-percent of Nigerian graduates are unemployed or under-employed, when lack of electricity has become an endemic curse to our nation, it is the height of political irresponsibility to talk about launching satellites for the development of our space technology.



According to Mr. President, this unhappy distraction is; "another milestone in our nation's effort to solve national problems through space technology"- another mile stone? Indeed, it beggars the question to ask the president what the first mile stone was, SAT 1 I suppose the ill- fated misbegotten pet disaster of OBJ, the so-called earth observation and imagery satellite {NigerianSat1] system, which was supposed to have helped in national land use and mapping and saved Nigeria about N45billion [$300m].

It is laughable that a crippling nation like Nigeria, which cannot solve its basic social and economic problems, will attempt to scale the lofty heights of space technology. Funnily enough, what most Nigerians don't know is that; the intricacies of space technology are diametrically inconsistent with their most pressing every day socio-economic needs.

Certainly, SAT X will not fight corruption, it will not repair the decay in the police service, it will not equip our universities with the badly needed funds and equipments they need. It will not get our defunct refineries to work. It will not provide basic health-care services to ordinary Nigerians; neither will it pay the long held pensions of our aged parents and veterans.


At a time when most state and federal government workers are bracing up for new rounds of strike over government refusal to pay the minimum wage salaries, it is indeed crassly insensitive for the government of President Goodluck to embark on such a prestige project. It's apposite to say that what we need dearly as a nation now is not just Good-luck but good governance, besides no practical nation survives on good luck.

Nigeria need not be concerned with purchasing wholesale space technology from developed country, but rather, it should channel its resources towards building a functional education system that would be responsible for generating the human capital needed to build a local space technology adapted to the peculiar needs of ordinary Nigerians.

We should take cue from countries like China, Iran, and Indians who have gone down the part of local space technology

Seconded. E don tey wey nyash get center parting

I'd love to give your nyansh some center parting for real one of this days. And your mouth too.

God bless Russia

God Bless Russian Engineers

God Bless White people for helping us!

Guys we've got to celebrate. We are helping to keep unemployment in Russia and China low, very low.

We tha best.

rman:
You don't get my point. I have noticed that a lot of people only point out the spelling mistakes without and that's it.

Yes, point out then mistakes, then put up your suggestions or opinion on the matter. If the only thing you have to offer is spelling correction, it is better you just read and do not reply. If we like it or not majority really don not have anything to say objectively on issues raised on nairaland than to come an attack posters. Most times they derail the thread.

Why would you post objectively. NL is a forum where people post their subjective opinions, NO?

When did we become machine as to post objectively. Are you drunk?
