Op,make zaria your no 1 choice,apart from kano that town is far developed than many northern state capital in terms of human,educational and infrastructural resource. Also there's no town in the country today that has federal impact like her...we the product call it z-town.

Serves them right...

Many people here don't know this man,one of Gen. Abacha's loyal dog in charge of his kangaroo court as recent as 1998.... Too many kids on nairaland indeed.

He was a very great man indeed, i was surprised when i learnt his dad is a syrian,another pointer to the fact that people of other nationalities easily make it in the west and America's.

Crazy thread. Am not a fan of Gej but lai moh'd have for a while now been toying with facts and figures.

Missed my bb, the time enjoying ma goggle phone- gives me variety which is the spice of gadgets.

I revered qhadaffi alot because of his passion for africa and arab nationalism but years of his affluent rule have made him deluded @ the outbreak of the uprising. To call people you lord it over for 42yrs 'rat and coackroaches' is undeserving of his people. The west wern't pure, no justification for them to have bomb libya in those turbulents night.

I throway salute ma, you should write a book on nigeria socioeconomic woes.

Onegai: I've been following this outbreak in West Africa since May. In May, my very learned boss laughed at me for using hand sanitiser, then laughed at me for washing hands. Now, she bought a pack of latex gloves and face-masks for her self, 2 days ago. And people still don't believe in the virus.

But I noticed a more alarming trend: Nigerians are not deep thinkers or planners of the future, or people who look at their past.

I've been so worried about this Ebola outbreak, and my elderly mother said something today: this is not the first viral outbreak which has ravaged my country. I looked it up online and to my horror, I discovered that she was part of the generation who lived through 2 deadly outbreaks: Smallpox and Yellow Fever. If you think Ebola is scary, Smallpox is airborne, Yellow Fever was transferred by the bite of a mosquito. Gods were carved by our ancestors, to appease those diseases (Sopona was the yoruba god of Smallpox).

Over 65 years later, NOT ONE AFRICAN GOVERNMENT HAS FUNDED RESEARCH ON ANYTHING. Foreigners found the vaccine and made it cheap for us. During those decades, we discovered oil and now, we pound ourselves on the chest and roar "Giant of Africa". More like "Cockroach of the World".

Listen, I don't care who the hell "infected" Africans with this virus (38 years and 7 months, we didn't discover a cure). I'm ashamed to belong to a people who DON'T LEARN FROM THE PAST, DON'T PLAN THEIR FUTURE AND ARE CONFIDENT IN THEIR IGNORANCE AND FOOLISHNESS.

In 1966, another smallpox outbreak occurred because a religious group refused vaccination. And I'm hearing the same freaking stup.idity bleated about. People hid from being contained and isolated. Sound familiar?

In 2014, millions of people bathed with salt and water. Almost none of them bothered to take the time to read the free report on the Zaire 1976 Ebola outbreak, and come up with reasonable solutions (I found out from there that we need Methyl Alcohol 91% and Sodium Hydrochlorite, known as Bleach, to disinfect everywhere. And burn disposables and contain and isolate and do assisted nursing, from afar, best done by medical staff).

I keep seeing and hearing ignorant nonsense spewed. And everyone is suspicious of the White Man. Yet you are "all more educated than those villagers".

For once, let us keep ourselves clean. Let us voluntarily start research, let those who cannot research fight for governments who will fund it. Let others donate medical supplies (I started discussing with doctors about donating hand sanitisers to LASG hospitals 3 weeks ago before Ebola came here, all were hailing me as a "godsend". Please support my efforts and those of my friend, who lost his dad at LUTH). Let us demand accountability from EVERY SINGLE PERSON (DO YOUR PART AND PAY FOR A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM, FREE FOR ALL, WITH SOAP PROVIDED). Teach African History in school, so everyone knows what we went through before and how we beat it. And how to apply those solutions to future problems (such as a viral outbreak from another country, we should have closed our borders since).

This year, Nigeria lost children to diseases which could have been prevented by vaccines. Those vaccines are finished, since February. When an outbreak occurs, some animals in government will then send money and declare emergency and create a panel. When it would have been cheaper to treat the problem MONTHS AGO. DO NOT VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO ONLY PROMISES YOU GOOD ROADS AND ELECTRICITY IN A TV JINGLE, LET THE POLITICIAN TELL YOU HIS DETAILED PLANS FOR HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH. Stop selling your birthright for N2,500 worth of rice. And for you tribalists, an outbreak in any part of the country affects you. Stop saying "na their problem".

Learn from the mistakes of the past, stop these daft conspiracy theories and change our future. We've been doing the same foolish behaviour since 1966 and haven't changed once.

Nigeria vs boko haram

aro1: Russia is rily temptin america,i pray all this don't turn to world war 3,syria vs lebanon,isreal vs gaza,north korea vs s.korea...nd nw russia vs ameria. God have mercy on this world..it's bn long av bn on front page..thank u lord

@ independence in 1960, our uniqueness is our population,diverse culture and one of the biggest democrasy. over 50yrs later we have not harnessed any of our strenght positively, we lack a national ideology form the start not untill we do we will never be reknown for anything.

Op, subhuha robikka yati amo....... You should get me. Ati gba kamu ni ilorin

NIGERIA, confused people confused nation.

His second coming is an emotional and spiritual one needed to activate the never say never mentality that chelsea is known for, and more importantly to prepare him for the position as a back room staff under jose morh as from nx season.


Drogba is not a footballer, but a force of nature.

These are evergreen lessons, op its not to late.

Damn it, mr pangolo. You worry ooo,where is the courtesy reserved for ladies.

anago18: fvckhead liar!!!! ain't you the same never do well defending the contraption at the religious section. oloriburuku talking about her momma veggies that smells so bad that makes rotten salmon, feels like the world most expensive cologne. did I expect anything better no. definitely you were force fed your own placenta from infancy.

You are naive man. Putin is very right about syria....its far better that Assad cont'n to rule than for some liver eating rebels to come and impose sharia rule.

ebdib: Putin upholds christian faith?
My God I don't want to be a Christian then.
If Christianity means supporting a child killer in Syria
If Christianity means shooting down innocent men women and children in a plane

Jesus would be ashamed of you.
You pathetic blasphemer.
Christians like you are all over Nigeria. Destroying the country with your ill version of Christianity.

Nice one op, mod's front page pls...

See washing, mr Ebele really doesn't know the essence of the power arrogated to his office or rather he his using it in a mischivious way as gov. Musa said.
The part that burdens me most is the internal displace people we have in this country and our borders, its disheartning to see nigerian's suffers in such manner the govt could actually control.

@ kokozaine, may Allah reward you abundantly for all effort in putting up this iftar. Pls count me in, i will call u soon.

Africa is and will remain a vast lacuna in the history of mankind.

jude33084: Italian 90 final,...just like yesterday

Yes ooo

oduastates: The science of power generation(electricity) is so simple that it is in your secondary school physics textbook .
Just like the illegal refineries,it is so simple yet so hard for the idiotz who have been ruling this country.
You are not inventing the wheels,you are only copying what has been invented.
But this is asking too much for a country that is unable to even build her own roads and bridges.
Yet we have useless citizens parading themselves has engineers and scientist
