₦airaland Forum

I am with Beaf on this.

We need to chart a new course of development on Nairaland. Nairaland's politics section should not only be a place where political events are analysed, It should be a place where great minds come together to create and develop a political philosophy that would endear the rest of the online world to it.

626 billion NairaThat is over 4 billion dollars

Where are the compilers of the FORBES list?

Labour issues ultimatums before embarking on strike. What are our senators planning?

Our honourable senators may be angry because the new developments mean they will be searched pat-down. The bigger implication is that they can no longer launder money to the US.

However, the US pronouncement is too harsh on Nigeria. UK and Spain have confirmed terrorists; why werent they placed on the list?

I can smell [size=26pt]Jealousy [/size]and[size=26pt] Envy[/size] all over this thread .

I see neither Jealousy nor envy. All I see is some sane, analytical and rational minds asking the right questions and attempting to point the arrow in the right direction.

The young chap did not break any IT record. The journalist is just being sensational.

Nigerian senate that cant even talk to the Nigerian president is threatening to severe ties with an imaginary enemy!!
Mschewwwwww!

Abeg tell me another story.

His case is BECOMing WORSE. Someone should please so something about BECOMrich.

A president calling his people has become a news item. What a shame!!!
The demonic hands that have been holding Nigeria hostage will soon go limp.

The cost of a private jet can be more than the cost of 50 houses anywhere in the world. It all depends on the type of house.
I know a man in Iyana Ipaja who owns two houses in Dubai. I believe the Ibrus are wealthy enough to own a hundred houses in Dubai.

Farida Waziri and Sanusi Lamido should stop running to the press whenever any discovery is made. They should wait for conclusive facts before talking. I really dont want to believe they are just desperate to prove themselves right.

The dimunitive forwards stands tall in the midst of other soccer giants: C. Ronaldo, Xavi, Kaka and Iniesta.
This is no mean achievement for a 22 year old.

It is Official.
The dimunitive Lionel Messi wins the gigantic award, the World footballer of the year 2009.

Congrats Lionel!

How did this get to the frontpage.

Nairaland is moving in the same direction as Nigeria.

Becommrich or Becomerich is such a funny dude!
He really sees this as an avenue to actualise his dream of becoming rich by becoming the president of Nigeria even though he professes unflinching loyalty to Benin Republic.

He went as far as trying to discredit Seun by posting a meassage he got in september. Na wa oh!

"I, however, did not confide my status to anyone until today (i.e the disclosure via the letter)," she said. "Since 2006, I promised myself that it's in the university I got it and here I will leave it. I have indeed lived to keep my promise.

"I was in year three when a student on his attachment in our school proposed for a relationship. He had all the qualities a woman would want in a man so I gave in. He told me all a girl would want to hear. In my innocence and naivety, I succumbed to his pressure to have sex with him. Consequently, I lost my virginity to him.

"After his placement, he reported for his final year and we still had contacts. I visited him on a number of occasions, I have even lost count the number of times I visited him. He was my first and only love and, therefore, hanged on every word he told me.

"My boyfriend later graduated and we lost contact until last month when his sister told me about his whereabouts. Before registration in the faculty of science, I went for medical test as is the requirement. I then opted for an HIV/AIDS test, which unfortunately turned out to be positive.

She was in year three when they met. Year 3 of secondary school or the university.

The bolded sections are confusing.

chidichris:
@phuck nl,
did pilate touch Jesus Christ? did bush fight in iraq? did osama go to the world trade center? did abacha kill anyone? did ibb kill dele giwa?did charles taylor kill anyone in liberia, rawanda and burindi?
did prof iwu go to polling centres? i know the answers to these few questions will convience u on your level of foolishness.
your type can kill your mother for a little change.
well, i call your type, GLORY BE TO INTERNET

Fantastic logic!!!!
However, must Chidichris insult to drive home his point?

Jarus:
cogito ergo sum

I think, therefore I am.

chidichris:
@pro anti,
freedom of speech means a legal that is constitutional right to air your view on any issue u choose. before our president become mad, he was a prophet of rule of law which permits freedom of speech.


@pro anti,
if you are not in yaba mental rehab, it means u are in the wrong place for your type.
who made u a judge? do u have the power to call yar adua your president slow? u are simply a misplaced spermatozoa.
the most responsible way to address the situation of our president is to add presidential to whatever. if he is mentally ill like his much trusted saudi doctors say, we can address him as a PRESIDENTIAL MAD MAN.

Ride on!
Keep spewing garbage!

Decorum!
Every right thinking individual should speak and behave with decorum. Its only Nigerians that call their president mentally ill.
I dont think it is fair.
The man is slow. Agreed. But we should not spread such unspeakable rumours about him.

arkinses:
yes it does not translate to a three square meal for the average nigerian but it signifies transparency. The average Nigerian would have a limited excuse in complaining about the degree of embezzled FG funds for one.

All the loots in Swiss accounts were not deposited via cheques, they were wired.
The CBN move wont have any effect on corruption; It will only make some Yahoo youngsters richer and nastier.

Freedom of speech should not be misconstrued as Freedom to say all sorts of rubbish.

The e-revolution can only get to Nigerians when they see superior and more secure e-services. You dont force people to use a system you are testing; you only encourage them.

If the NEFT transfer system is more secure, no sane Nigerian businessman would want to issue a cheque. As it is, the widely known ATM fraud discourages people from getting involved with any electronic system. The CBN should first address banking security before coming up with the NEFT policy.

By the way, I did a NEFT transfer to a business associate last month and he said he hasnt seen the money. I've been chasing this for some time now with no success. Dont expect me to try it again unless the system improves.

edoyad:
Delta state is so safe that virtually all the oil companies have relocated to LAGOS state Inspite of lagos not having one oil well abi ?
What is the employment situation in Delta state ?
Dude, do you think those your funny institutions is what is meant by education ?
Do you know what transportation is ? Well transportation has a lot with conducive public/mass transportation - even Fifa don't give you hosting rights without that.

I think Edoyad needs to learn how to argue in the rgiht manner.
U dont argue with only refutations. You bring out ur own points backed with statistics and logic.

That aside, I've only spent more than one week in 4 states(Kaduna, Rivers, Lagos and Delta) in the last 12 months and from what I knew about those states and what I see now, I think all of them are performing.
In terms of Infrastructural development, Fashola and Amechi are miles ahead of Uduaghan and Sambo.
In terms of Humand capital development, Uduaghan is doing great.
In terms of reorientation and value perception, Fashola and Uduaghan.
Health, I cant really say, but I know Fashola builds larger structures probably because of the cost and scarcity of land in Lagos.
Security, Sambo. hmmm! Uduaghan considering the state of lawlessness that was evident as a result of the ND struggle; Fashola, considering the population of the state.
Over all, Fashola and  Amechi. But the masses hate these people.

the knucklehead columnist: the nation, I hav only read 3 of his write ups, but I think he is good.

Ananmbra: The theatre of dreams.
The place where impossibility has no meaning.
The land og the industrious. The land of political debauchery.

I think we should break the tie.
@Kosovo,
There was no clear majority. I suggest you put up another poll that will include only the names of the three top nominees. If we don't get a clear majority, We can then go down to the top two. The year still has 3 weeks.

By the way,
The poll said NL political Personalities of the year. Why not NL politics section contributors of the year.

My thots!

I like the simple design. Jerseys are no longer mere sport wears; they've become fashion statements. Most fashion designers now go for basic designs.

Wait a minute! Why cant Adidas come up with a Jersey design competition for Nigerians. They'll definitely be amazed by the contributions they'll receive.

My nominees,
Jakumo
Eziachi
Beaf

Something tells me NO, but they think alike.
If I find time, I'll do some checks.

KenGali:
Let me view this topic as someones attempt to gain insight into the Igbo culture than an attempt to insult it.[/b]

Sounds like an aspiring politician. Obama-like statements.

KenGali:
[b]For those people that like to view other cultures from the reference of their own culture, I say learn to study why people live the way they do. There are no rights or wrongs in cultures, they are just decisions people have made to adapt to their environment. In the north women marry very young, but if you have taken time to study, you will see that their stated value for preventing adultery is high. (Whether individual keep it up is another different), thus public association of males and females are not acceptable. In adaptation to the need to provide suitors to their daughters, families may appoint a start booking a partner for a child, postponing the marriage for later. Parents also start looking out for suitors for their children early.

Sociologists call it cultural relativism,


Very insightful contribution. However, you should understand that not all nairalanders have the patience to read such looooong posts.
Pls try to keep it simple. You make very wonderful contributions to several NL discourse.

Why do some women marry late?
That may provide the answer to the topic.

Which of the reasons below best explains the poster's attitude?

A. The poster is probably running away from Immigration authorities. He stops typing whenever he hears the siren.
B. The poster is on drugs.
C. The poster was employed by Seun to keep Nairalanders addicted.
D. The poster is carrying out a research on how patient Nigerians are.
