When did selling punny to Aristos and Alhajis become hardwork?

Is it that Nigerian-trained architects are brain dead? why can't they design something that looks classy and contemporary. That market looks like a prison yard and has no thought put into it. There is not even a parking deck for cars to park. Very soon once it is fully operative, the market will be a chaotic place with no organization.

They call us third world for a reason.

How did Adiye Brown make the list?

I thought it was forbidden to eat the cherry before it was time to eat the cherry. This guy has obviously been eating the cherry prematurely. I thought Christianity forbids eating the cherry before you tie the knot. All these cherry eaters, sha!

Just watched some of blessing's races on YouTube. She needs to work on starting and finishing.

She starts slow, and bends her head too early near the finish line, which cost her this race.

She has pace and is always playing catch up.

If she corrects those errors, Nigeria has a chance to get at least one medal in the next Olympics.

crispgg: Blessing Okagbare just ran a season best of 10.93 to come second at the 100m event in the IAAF meet in Paris, narrowly losing to shelly-Ann Frasier who did 10.92 a few minutes ago.

Okagbare would have won but dipped too early at the finish giving Frasier the opportunity to grab the first position as she maintained her speed throughout.

Congrats to Blessing.

Is Blessing Okagbare a Yoruba girl?

Aikayy: Dude, were u sold into slavery Ur masters must be so proud of u!!!!

How many slaves did you sell to the white man? How many members of your family did you give away to the white man in exchange for 7 cups of akamu?

Rhino.5dm:
1. We can as well argue that Dana airline is not a Nigerian airliner.

2. Dana airline was piloted by an AMERICAN pilot.

3.US got her independence 237 years ago, while Nigeria is barely 50 years.

I thought I should help you out. Stop comparing US with Nigeria.

You dey craze. How is Dana not a Nigerian Airliner? It is a domestic airline plying domestic routes and regulated by Nigerian laws.

Dana was flown by an American but the Nigerian authorities cleared the airplane to fly despite its poor maintenance records and the plane not being flight worthy.

Granted, nigeria got her independence 50 years ago, but Nigeria has reached a stage where it should be eating solid food. Sadly, Nigeria still drinks milk and cerelac.

Lordave: typical of an ordained dumbarze!
Should this topic warrant unnecessary comparison of Nigeria with the US?

Retardeen. Stop running from the issue. I did not the comparison. You were the one who said one plane crashed at the airport while the other crashed in a residential area. Your thi ki g shows why Nigeria is retarded.

Lordave: you'll only stop portraying the alarming magnitude of your ignorance the day you stop comparing Nigeria with the US.
By the time GEJ as the 5th elected civilian president is true with his transformation agenda, you can start our comparisons.

Mukaila. They are comparing the number of accidents per flights to get a rate of accidents.

tellwsdom: Abeg make una come sweep the debris comot for my area jor

I no think say the debris reach Ajegunle.

Lordave: you are such a clever dc!k. Could the capacity of Dana crash be compared to this one?
Did Dana crash at the airport?
SMH...

Typical Backward nigerian mentality. Does a plane have to crash at an airport to prompt a fire department to adequately respond?

supaeagles: An average of 30,000 flights a day in the United States. I don't think we have up to 500 a day in 9ja. So compared to the number of air accidents/number of flights, Ogugua88 has a good point
Source: NY Times

500/ day my behind. I don't think Naija has up to 100/day.

It appears it was even pilot error, not because of poor maintenance or some stupid reason. Despite the crash land, the swift and professional response of safety personnel reduced any substantial casualty.

If it were Naija they will be fetching water from a well to extinguish the fire, or NEPA would have taken light and they will be using torsh light to see. Worse still, the emergency vehicles would have been looking for fuel to start the car.

Area boys would have stormed the scene looking for Ipad, Iphone, Blackberry Boludu, and Blackberry torsh.

Let's keep it real here, folks.

Yomieluv: even if the plane is foreign owned,and it crashed in Nigeria,walai,Nigerians would still blame FG,and FAAN,as if they were the cause of the crash.. Nigeria,I hail thee.

Big liar. The last time Emirates had a an issue with landing at MMA no one blamed Nigerian govt. The last British Airways had an issue in Abuja, no one blamed the Nigerian govt.

abujalapdog: Would that be a yardstick for blaming government? Its a sign of low self esteem because we harldy believe in our own thing.

The plane is owned and operated by a foreign airline and it was traveling from a foreign country. What does America have to do with it?

the topic is even misleading self. The airplane did not crash. It crash landed. Two different things.

hurricaneChris: Me think say plane no de crash for obodo oyibo?

Lol even in US waiting to hear the lame xcuses as a cover to their imperfections.

Thanks to God though

The plane was coming from Seoul, Korea, so who knows what may have happened?

Also, there is the possibility that it is pilot error.

A Boeing 777 just crash landed at San Francisco Airport

Please pray for the passengers.

Bill gates made his money through his contribution to the world, a typical American businessman.

Dangote made his money through political connections and being used as a stooge by ogas at the top, a typical Nigerian businessman

sayit_out1: Dis matter shouldn't just end this way. The police should be sued or charged for ;

(i) false accusation

(ii) deformation of character

(iii) providing the court of law with falseful information

(iv) unlawful detention etc

Sue police in Nigeria? You must be joking

Promhize: This dude has issues. Pls like if u agree

Of course you will say I have issues because I speak the truth and don't have your typical Nigerian mentality. The same leaders have been recycling the same embezzlement scam for decades and you are here telling me that I have issues. Now I see why our leaders have taken people like you for a fool and have repeatedly emptied our treasury and embezzled all our oil funds in everyone's face.

Do you actually think that the Nigerian government can run a national carrier successfully? Look at your history--Nigerian Airways. Even Virgin Nigeria did not work out because they could not honor a contract that was signed with Richard Branson.

she looks like she swallows kids

The blind man should care more about the bossoms and the buttocks. I am sure that it is indisputable that he can't see the lady's looks. But we can all agree that he can feel the bossoms and the buttocks, particularly if the bossoms are plump and if the buttocks are large.

NYSC has been an impediment to many diaspora Nigerians who want to bring their talents back home. How do you expect someone who, for example, graduated at age 21 in America and has accumulated, say, 20 years of experience working overseas to come and be posted to Maiduguri at age 41 just because he wants to do NYSC? To make matters worse, he would most likely have to stay in a dormitory without running water and under terrible hygienic conditions.

This has discouraged so many qualifies Nigerians from doing public service and contributing to the economy. Take India, for example, which has a vibrant IT infrastructure and talent. Many of those talents were returnees from the United States who did public service and helped reform India's laws and regulatory landscape. Nigeria has the same level of talent in America, but no, despite all those talents, they won't allow you to do public service or run for office because you do not have NYSC.

NYSC, IMO, is an anachronism of the past, whose usefulness has expired long, long time ago.

As usual someone has devised a way of chopping money. National air carrier my behind. They will get money for new planes but go and buy tokunbo planes.

To all the guys, he who has never done what Obi Mikel did, let him cast the first stone.

Wait. Obama did not visit Nigeria, but US companies want some of our money. Tofiakwa

These tanks look like the Soviet tanks of the 1960s

~Bluetooth:
Back in the days,the US sits in her abode;waiting for developing countries to come and beg her to invest in their dungeons.Then a poor man can't even afford a mobile phone until China came into Africa thereafter, Europe and US markets fell.


Meanwhile,don't foget that china has already established here not through slavery,colonization nor imperialism but genuine business interests that have benefitted Africans and Nigerians !

The US got jealous of China after they saw the money China was making in Africa.

why did they put an apere (basket) as the goal keeper?

Havilah93: sorry. He's been subbed
