Politics › Re: My Encounter With An Armed Robber This Afternoon by Reference(m): 9:08am On Oct 16, 2013

ifyalways: LMAO.

Just enter Arochukwu street go report am give Joe-King Jaquar. Super story.

You go deserted school building go eat banana? You sef never tok wetin you dey find.
Talk true jor,na ganja you go smoke dia,the banana was for stepping down.LOL

My reply would be along these lines. A fully grown man sitting down watching kids play ball, eating a banan on a hot afternoon in Nigeria is an anomaly.

Are you a football scout, player's agent, or match commissioner. Because I pass a couple of fields almost everyday but CANNOT find the time to stop and watch. To me those kids are probably building a career so should I.

Robbery is devastatingly bad but the percusor is always indolence, a slack hand. Not that this country has everything and we play for 'lack of want' but this country lacks everything. Where people find the time to roam about simply beats me.

Car Talk › Re: Components To Avoid When Washing A Car Engine by Reference(m): 6:48pm On Oct 14, 2013

amdman: I just got my wife this lovely Pontiac Aztek and this is exactly the question on my mind. I have never steam washed the engine bay of my Ford Explorer and not inclined towards washing the engine bay of this Pontiac either. But wifey being particular about such things, would love a clean engine bay.

Is there any safe way to wash the engine bay as against the massive flushing with water that is widely practiced in Nigeria?

Come oh. Why is it that women suggest these crazy things and we pay the price. Better don't try it. My belief is that engine components should be cleaned piecemeal with the right materials and resembled. Any one who can't do that should not be in that business. Blast it with steam or water and you will regret it. I am.

With this you still donot understand Nigerian football. Nigerian teams find it hard to gel on short notice. It is not today this phen. started. From the 80's and especially when our players began the foreign exodus we find it hard to flow after weeks apart. That's why we play better at tournaments and even in tournaments start slowly. This team only came together five days ago. It doesn't work well for us. If CAF wants to see better play they can simulate the european model where they play Friday and Tuesday. There's no reason why we couldn't have played the return leg on Tuesday but 16th of November is just too far. The engine of the team would be completely cold by them. Even Keshi will be off on leave.

Emenike needs the support of Nigerians off and on the pitch. Emenike is nobody without Oboabana, ambrose efe,Onazi,Ideye,Moses, all these guys are not igbos, and had contributed one way or the other for this win, emenike can't do the job of ambrose, neither can he do the job of Onazi in the midfield.

Nobody should misconstrue this guy's shallow post above as that of all Igbo people. The guy is on his own, direct all your anger and opinions towards him, leave Ndiigbo alone.

Yeah. Could remember what went on between the trio of Dan the Bull, Samson Sia1 and the goalsfather himself in the US. Though it was not a tribal thing, I think it may have cost us. Let's be careful here. Tribalism is a sore virus.

Meringe: I would have not replied you but I will do it to tell you why I said 75percent of Abians didn't vote.
I am with a Fed agency and I worked during the election, they experiences I had are nothing to write here. Same with my Colleagues. Ballot boxes and election materials were used in bushes, uncompleted buildings and houses of PDP politicians. They thugs that carried out this act were guided through by soldiers. When soldiers come to any polling booth, they will scare the voters and take away d election materials.
Abdusalami is celebrated, follow international politics and know what I am saying.
GEJ can contest and win, I wish him luck but I prefer him to an ICON of Democracy.

If Abdulsalami stepped down and according to you we still have issues what makes you think that if GEJ steps down the issues will all vanish and Nigeria will suddenly become civilised.

The fact that you think change in Nigeria resides in one man, one office, one political or government post shows your scant knowledge of this country or the workings of a fledgling democracy.

The condition of this country is an aggregate of the thoughts and actions of EVERY SINGLE NIGERIAN. Yesterday the problem was Yaradua, the day before OBJ, today GEJ. Just continue. Name one man, just one person that you think can turn Nigeria around overnight and I will give you a dossier of their past and present actions that will make us seriously rethink.

Business › Re: Prices Of Rams Rise In Ogun, As Muslims Mark Eid-el-kabir by Reference(m): 8:31am On Oct 13, 2013

almurtadha: The prices of Ram did not increased only in Ogun. Kaduna state that is even a northern state experiences high cost of rams. People exploits people, later we now shout government, gej, we self no good at all.
This killing of Ram is a sacrifice ordered by God to anyone who is capable. The father of faith, Abraham, Peace be upon him was its origin. Barka da sallah in advance.

I totally agree. I don't know whether this is a Nigerian thing but the spirit of the festivities are often overlooked which is sacrifice. It means that even if you can't offer some of your regular profits, maintain prices so that everyone can participate. But everyone exploits, from the bus driver to the market woman. Taking our earthly blessing upfront instead of God's.

Travel › Re: Pilots Were Arguing Before Agagu's Plane Crashed - Blackbox by Reference(m): 7:31am On Oct 12, 2013

manny4life: Some key parts to review

Question to this part, since there was no call out, did the Pilot (captain flying the aircraft), start rotating after the 80knot call out?

Whatever the flap settings were, whatever the conversation or cockpit misunderstandings were, whatever the aircraft was saying. The Captain got that aircraft into the air. I would reconsider these factors if earlier reports that he attempted a return to MMIA are refuted because to return he would have had to reconfigure all these settings and perhaps corrected his mistakes inculding anything to do with the autopilot I dare say. I believe something else brought that plane down.

Politics › Re: Mountain Of Fire And Miracles In Enugu Demolished. by Reference(m): 3:03am On Oct 11, 2013

There's always this notion of people going about defending their religion, their church. But the truth is that Christianity has nothing to defend because it is not physical or intellectual. It is a faith. It is 'spiritual'. And how can you destroy a spirit. It is impossible. When you reduce your God to bricks and mortar, when you feel the kingdom of God is advancing in proportion to the size of the building, when you are downcast because you've been given a quit notice and your building offerings appear wasted then you may be at the threshold of idolatry without knowing. If you need house, God can give you one anytime, anywhere. May the 'church' focus on its mission - finding missing sheep.

Adwexky: An Unpleasant occurrence is just a pathway to a far more better and pleasant one.
I personally believe that it is God's will to provoke the Parish into far greater height. And mind you No power can stand against the Gospel Of Christ. It will continue to prevail no matter the ugly events spur up by the ugly ones (Devil and Demons).

Please be informed as a christian about what to stick out your faith for and what not to. God will not fight for you on your terms and pander to your sentiments especially when it involves constituted authority so I don't see what new planning regulations have to do with demons and devils.

Our attitude as christians to material things including church buildings is to view them as temporal tools to be used and 'loosed'. The God you worship resides in your heart and you are His temple not some edifice made by man that some of us are ignorantly turning to shrines. What did Jesus say when He looked upon the temple mount.

Family › Re: Are You Enjoying Your Marriage? by Reference(m): 6:11pm On Oct 10, 2013

Marraige is not an amusement park and your husband is not Mickey Mouse or your wife Cinderella so I don't know why enjoyment should be the yardstick of evaluating its success or otherwise. Marraige is an institution ordained by God for the purposes outlined in Genesis 1:28 and 2:18. To me that sounds like a mission rather than a merry-go-round. To me marraige bestows great responsibility on the individuals involved that requires all seriousness, sacrifice and determination that leaves little room for sentiments and diversionary emotions.

Marraige has far greater purpose than school, than work, than church, etc. Do you attend these, commit to these, simply because you enjoy them?

Or you won't go to work because you don't enjoy working.

how come most of the few passionate supporters of Chris Ngige on NL are Yoruba people from the SW, who would never vote on the day??

Just an Interesting observation sha....

Because the APC is by its roots a regional party desperately trying to go national but unable to find the right kind of bridges to build hence this turbulence. Politics in Nigeria is not as easy as some think and the 'superstar' status may not fly everyone's kite.

Marraige is an institution so the individuals who operate it are secondary to the values the institution require. Thus it is not about what you bring to it but about whether you can attain its demands and there are several. Often we look at just one or two and conclude. I've never seen an educated man who can boast of having read only one or two subjects. There's more to marraige than this.

Food › Re: The Secret Of Buka Stew - MSG, Firewood, Palm-oil Or Juju ? by Reference(m): 11:26am On Oct 06, 2013

I also think it could be a question of statistics as much as culinary skills that as a lady, if you put yourself out there your food could generate as much interest as the ace mamas. I've been to a couple of joints in Jos and Benin and I found the experience absolutely terrible so its obviously not the food (we all have different tastes) but the importunity: the cross roads of a hungry people without reasonable alternatives often at the wrong end of culinary maltreatment at home hence develop an overeaching excitement for alternatives outside that are barely better.

Thus if you took that 'home meal' that tastes ordinary and place it at that cross-road you could sooner become the next bukka-star. Hmm.

Joavid: They use over-riped,sometimes rotten tomatoes.

They dnt use that red pepper(ata rodo),they use that dry long red-brownish pepper with very little tomatoes.

They use both palm oil and groundnut oil.

They dnt use salt and if they do,they use little and lots of maggi

They use very reddish tin tomatoes.

They use firewood or charcoal.

They fry the stew very well and they dnt add the meat stock.

So why can't budding wives and girl friends reproduce same results. Or is it a case of 'pls donot try this at home'. C'mon surely there must be more than meets the eye.

Could remember one of my uncles back then who would drive all the way from Ikeja to Surulere on a saturday morning like he had been on a diet all week and another top CEO who would have his smuggled to his guest house from across town to avoid the wonder. Both of course happily married.

My guess is that if the food tastes better than your mum's or wife's (of more than ten years) then you're done.
