What is it about the middle-belt misery....or the middle-belt mismanagement....or the middle-belt malaise....or the middle-belt meddlesome.....From air plane crashing superstars in Taraba to serial kleptos in Kogi to bank crashing bulldozers in Kwara.... middle-beltans are sure having the time of their life.

Politics › Re: List Of Multinationals In Nigeria That Are Crashing Under Buhari - By Ikengawo by Reference(m): 8:43am On Nov 10, 2015
These are not caused by the government but the system. The fact that Cadbury is amongst the list is symptomatic of how badly Nigerians have mentally degenerated. For heaven's sake does government need to announce policy for you to have a cup of hot cocoa in the morning or will the Chinese decline in oil demand cause you not to bathe, cook and sleep or log onto your daily tonic - Nairaland grin.

Shows we are lazy people, bereft of original ideas of creating wealth and value and as a nation (not government alone) depend on one resource - oil for life and living. This is bad. I will always say this: People make government not the other way round. In most decent climes government only regulates (that is then rein in) a people galloping with ideas, innovation and enterprise. Here we require government to drag us kicking and screaming to work and find every reason under the sun to blame them for every economic woe.

Granted this government is slow, obviously out of its depth on most aspects of governance, missing targets and expectations here and there but what we are seeing is not about their performance or lack of it. If Jonathan had continued the situation will have happened sooner than later. It is rather a systemic, structural and people-centric malaise. Nigerians are not developing this country as they should. They are folding their hands and waiting to be fed. That is why we are oft misled and frequently disappointed, the hallmarks of a beggarly status.

Blessed are those without expectations for they shall never be disappointed. I'm in that camp. I have no economic stress whatsoever. Productivity keeps on rising. Because I go out every day to create value and it is recognised both home and overseas.

Hmmm. Nostalgic. And Buhari seems to have a knack for winning the Cadet World Cup. Good one. The other side is worrisome. He is still the one exactly 30 years after. Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher have both quit permanently. Shows how badly we have aged as a nation.

By the way. Even Ugbade the captain is retired from football. Says so much.

'Jesus, this is your house'....really? Is it not God that says He does not dwell in temples made by man. That we ourselves are the temple of God, the dwelling place of the Most High.

I've heard so much church misinformation these past few days it is coming out of my nostrils. This is another one. Abeg, God is a Spirit. He doesn't do brick and mortar. He dwells in heaven (a spiritual address) and owns no, neither seeks to own any landed property.

I saw one house at agege recently... had to wait to take a good look..

mehnn... a storey building with cracks & holes... even d blocks were moulded from sand.. and people were inside

I just shook my head...
Exactly. I keep on saying it. Nothing in nature that takes lives comes out of the blues without adequate knowledge and information to prevent or escape from it. People ignore body pains, car noises, bad odour, barking dogs and sadly cracked walls without ever asking the question 'why these things'. They are too busy surviving. But sadly, very sadly have time to die needlessly. Death is the only state beyond negotiation. Every other condition is optional.

Please if you live in a house with cracked ceilings, walls or floors, hear strange noises and feel vibrations of any kind, just move out. Don't stay in it another day. That is the only gain in this tragedy.

Politics › Re: Biafra: PDP Cautions Buhari, APC by Reference(m): 6:18pm On Nov 07, 2015
Though honourable in its responsibility as the foremost voice of the opposition, the PDP should thread carefully on this political minefield. It cannot be seen to be a voice of secessionists particularly those on sectional and tribal lines, particularly lines that are deep bloody scars that just won't heal. The PDP must remain a genuine national party to remain relevant in the scheme of things. Their position on this will not help their course in seeking a way back to power.

If showing us pictures of him interacting with jobless youths, market women and hungry pensioners is what you call change, then you need to have your brain examined. Show us just half picture of Fayose commissioning a project and we'll take you seriously.
By your post you insult people. Because they interact with the governor doesn't mean they are 'jobless'. Neither does commissioning projects mean good governance. Donald Duke was a master of projects. In the end he was labelled elitist. That his spending didn't 'touch' people personally. How many projects has the Federal government launched thoughtless of commissioned but they are hailed for other things because governance is not just one thing.

Dividends of a true, virile democracy. That the pressure of the opposition pushes them into the hands of those they are meant to serve. Say no to a one-party state under whatever guise. The APC knows they cannot wrestle Ekiti from his grip by rhetoric alone. They will need solid performances in the territories they hold currently. Its a good day. Things are looking up.
Business › Re: How A White Man Surprised All In The Bank by Reference(m): 1:23pm On Nov 07, 2015
arabianights:
Was in the bulk room of a first generation bank and crowd was quite bad ( yet they say no money ).There were some igbo men that had come to deposit quite an amount of money and had been conversing loudly in their dialect not caring that they were been a nuisance.
All of a sudden a white man comes in and the teller receives his cash whilst ignoring the hisses and insults of customers.

The igbo men, trust them started insulting the man and went ahead to add more in their dialect,the white man then,calmly turnsto them and responded to them in IGBO language then went on to add a few more sentences... the whole bulk room kept shut out of shock of course.I turned to him in amazement to ask him on how he learnt igbo and he smiled and responded to me fluently in HAUSA.

Apparently, he had been there before every one else but the account number was wrong and he was told he couldnt make calls in the banking hall, he then went out to make a call and wait for the right account number.On his return,hE went straight to the teller as she had assured him that when he returned ,he wouldnt have to join the queue again.The teller should have explained to all instead of ignoring customers.

Any way my point is that these white men are smatter than us, they learn our languages so as to enable themselves settle in and do business whilst most of us go to their countries and come back the same people we were when we left if not worse.
Some are Nigerian with Nigerian passports. Children of expats turned immigrants. Some others are half caste with a genetic make up heavily skewed towards the white parent so by appearance you think they are white. Know quite a few. Common in the Niger-Delta.

Young man, watery sperm is just a layman's language. There's nonthing like that. Let him abstain for 3 to7 days and go to a good med lab for seminal fluid analysis (sfa). The fact that ur semen is watery does not mean its bad. What matters is the sperm cells count and not the fluid.
Don't mind them....students of University of Ignorance, Faculty of Public Bus Medicine, Department of Fake Drugs. Pathetic.

Nigerians and death.....and burials (funerals). We have to take it easy. Attending these events should not be a life or death matter....no pun intended abeg. Its becoming serious bordering on the ridiculous. Growing up we were told funerals were only attended by the aged. Now I know why. The constitution and institution of death and the industry it has become in Nigeria is something else. Whenever I recall the Agagu funeral tragedy I just shiver cos I knew some of them personally. Nothing to say. Abeg make we take am easy.

Just this evening a key member of my staff informed me he has to attend a funeral tomorrow and will be travelling. I asked him to call in a replacement. You won't believe that after ten minutes and four calls they were all going to attend funerals tomorrow. We got a fifth who wasn't. Now this and it gets me thinking....

By a selfless act GEJ ignored the failings of INEC's Card Readers, the violence and corruption and let the system work. We should all do the same for the greater good, today and tomorrow.

Don't know where u guys get force info frm. this pix here is totally diff frm wah happen today. The pilot announce there was a pressurisation problem off which the aircraft can still fly at lower altitude and reach its destination safely. Buh he decided to return back to lagos and transfer passenger to another serviceable aircraft which is d best decision. So y all d noise. Next thread pls
Pressurization problem and you're saying why the noise. Do you understand how grave a situation that is. No pilot in his right senses will do anything other than declare an emergency and put the plane on the ground as quickly as possible to avoid a catastrophe. De-pressurization or failure to pressurize properly is symptomatic of certain problems with the engines, the structure of the aircraft or the aircraft's control systems any of which can bring the plane down. Its not just about how the passengers feel but what the aircraft is telling you. Its like the tightening of the chest and shortness of breathe before a heart attack. You're not dead but you may shortly be.
