You're absolutely right. They don't understand.

taharqa2: God bless you.... I have said this for too long on this forum, that I just no longa bother. I guess some people wud just be 'people'..

But 6 billion just to expand an 'existing plant'? Six billion. Six oh. 1,2,3,4,5,6. BBbbillionnnu. Haba. How much is a ton of steel in the declining international market.

Ha. Sis what. Chai. Dat place na real money pit. Abeg bring Discovery channel to check if ancient aliens bury sometin for there wey dey chop money or make History channel bring those guys wey dey restore relics for 600 dollars.

Which ever way we must enter Guiness Book: 'The most expensive plant ever built' or 'The fattest white elephant ever captured in the wild'.

Chai Nigeria.

Jus noticed that a lot of comments flow along the lines of financial investments. But Nigerians invest or mis-invest in a number of other money pits on a daily basis under the watch of 'professional consultants'.

Its a jungle out there so my 'portfolio' contains more than just papers. As a matter of fact it resembles what the early explorers to new continents carried: map, compass, anti-malaria potions and spare rhino bullets.

Believe me, they have kept me alive in this country as paper investments have answered their name - paper.

My short reply to this: Professional service providers are always the best route to qualitative delivery because of knowledge, skill and form, which no other person or organisation CAN have.

However the almighty 'NIGERIAN FACTOR' more than often makes a mess of the best competencies. So what I advice in all investments whether financial, R.E. agric, transport, corporate, personal, etc.

If you can and by all means just take out the rods, reels and BAIT and go fishing. Never the boat and fishing net. Be patient and build relationships. Know their strengths and weaknesses before evolving strategies to exploit them for your good. NEVER bet your house. ALWAYS read the small print.

NB. The most despicable lying, cheating, snake-eyed b.ast.ard may also be the best for you at that time and in your circumstance. It just depends on how you handle him, her, them or it.

howfarwhatagwan: From the comments I'm confused are Nigerians celebrating that he has been discharged and acquitted or what?

If he carried out orders to murder someone then he is an accomplice to murder and should not be acquitted. If one is arguing that his sentence to death for being an accomplice is too much of a verdict it is a different matter oh but that someone was an accomplice to murder and people are saying he only followed orders so should be acquitted must be a joke oh. If that is how the law works then we can all get away with anything.

Oh my beloved country I am lost oh I don't understand our ways anymore let alone our thoughts.

Just put it this way. If MKO died to create the democracy we practice, that is the election of the Executive and our representatives then will it be far fetched to say Kudirat died to establish the third, unelected arm of government, the Judiciary.

Will it not have been fantastic if this landmark case had been the tonic to reinvigorate a near comatose criminal justice system.

But we know things don't work like that in Nigeria. What we prefer is shock treatment to get things going. So if this ruling hurts perhaps its time for all concerned to focus for the much needed judicial/law enforcement reforms that will be worth her sacrifice.

Rhea: [size=18pt]By 2015 this man will be a senator, federal legislator or a state governor. This is Naija. Anything can happen.[/size]

If he's been acquited why not. His people will decide if he's worthy to represent them.

Good development. Didn't know if this was a test or trial of our Judiciary and shows just how far behind the curve those responsible for bringing felons to book.

14 years of sheer waste and incompetence. Pity.

2legit2qwt: I still can't believe some people actually have reasons to back a runaway husband

Even if we are to assume the scenario that the woman is the cause of the problem, a man running away from his home for weeks or months will not fix the issues in his relationship.

That is the only way I know people respond to abuse whether man or woman. The man uses his fists, the lady uses her tongue. They destroy the body from the outside and inside respectively. Both are dangerous situations and any party involved should walk away..

Real men love their daughters very dearly. It is the purest form of love a man can have for another human being. They see in them what even their wives are not, free of every infatuation.

Unfortunately this person is not what a man should be. He is a monster. Daughters should feel safe, comfortable and confident around their fathers. He abused their bodies and souls and damned them to eternal torment. He has no place on this earth.

For that couple, that's why barreness can atimes be a good thing. When a couple has waited a decade before a child comes they tend to value them better. Where children are percusors to marraige, used as bargaining chips, outcomes like these are expected.

The devil is in the unstated details but one thing for sure couples are increasingly walking out of abusive relationships. And yes, the party who desires reconciliation often has the better benefits, or put bluntly, is often the abuser.

In this case, the lady in question has gone to great lengths to 'explain up' what the husband is doing while giving little or no info on her responses. 'mild to heavy arguments' sounds like explaining away.

Speaking as a man, women should understand that men will increasingly walk out of marraiges no matter what society thinks. If there is abuse some men will leave. Why it surprises some is the mystery. They are simply catching up.

If there were 'mild to heavy arguments in a home and the woman leaves for months, very few will back the abuser. What is different.

collynzo2: Oliseh is so bitter! When you read his comments you'd think we had some players dominating the UEFA champions league last season that Keshi left out. What's all this talk about home based players? Those who disappointed us at the confed cup were foreign based. Gambo made his debut in the last few minutes of a match we had already lost, you can't blame hom for anything.
Ideye
Ujah
Babatunde
Akpala
Musa (to an extent)
all disappointed and are foreign based.

Wise one. He doesn't realise he's making a circular argument. The quality of foreign based has equally fallen. The Westerhof cycle is long gone. Keshi is trying to ignite a new one.

My view of this is simple. If ACN does this. It cannot 'OPPOSE' other parties that do similar.

That is prudent management in action. That's how you join the top 100 club. Poster. What does an Ecobank manager do to fly first class. What. Nigerians and their entitlement mentality.

TT. Traffic thread. About time. NL was tailing.

What are we talking about. Is the high population not as a result of industrialization and commercial activities from which the state government attracts huge allocations from the centre and generates huge incomes from taxes. If the population goes so will the revenue. Lagos has no natural resources other than its population. What is happening like the case with Nigeria in general is a paucity of ideas on how to exploit this resource. Those calling for population reduction are unknowingly making the state more dependent on federal funds. Can this be a good thing in the long run, I think not.

enkoby: i thought they said the attack took place in Ajah, Lagos. how come they are referring to policemen attached to Mopol 10, Bauchi

Military and paramilitary operations are sometimes conducted far away from base for obvious reasons. Obvious.

Ishilove: Ya mind is dirty

Honestly, I don't know when and where this sordid sub-culture started. Hard wired in the minds of those who patronize black industries. I travel a lot within the country and you can't escape the danger within the minds of the perps and public. So sad. The hotel owner should have been more pro-active in rejecting the patronage of the arrested robber. See the trouble he has brought on himself. And this is why I continue to emphasize that the private sector and the service industry in general cannot continue to pretend it is not involved in corruption and crime. If you are patronized by robbers, embezzlers, kidnappers or whatever selling them services, be it banking, real estate, insurance, medical, ICT, security, even doing their damn laundry, you can get burnt badly and in this case even loose your life. Corruption is real, avoid it.

blink182: you need to visit ikotun egbe even if u reside in kano. The demon responsible has only just started and it won't stop until it destroys you or You could ask someone visiting to get you a bottle of anointing water even blood of Jesus, it is a matter of faith and you should be just fine.

Over spiritualism (spiritism) is fast becoming a national threat. A very serious one. Jesus did not come to destroy rational thinking but to enhance it. He had an answer for every question. These days are filled with spiritual speculation. If I have no idea it must be some spiritual mystery. May I not derail.

Though we often assume it is a product of psychological disorder, bedwetting may be the result of more serious issues, anything from nerve, muscular or hormonal disorders that may be progressive or latent. I suggest you see a doctor asap for a thorough evaluation. Obviously something somewhere in your body isn't growing with the rest, isn't growing at all or is growing amiss. Check up.

jaidol: I wonder how Ahmed Musa was highest goal scorer for CSKA Moscow and he could not convert a single chance at Confed Cup

Vodka tinz.

Why are bathroom and kitchen windows in Nigeria always microscopic in size (as small as two feet square) when this is the tropics - serious heat and humidity, irregular electricity - often dark (not good for effective cleaning) and poor ventilation to rid them of sewage odours or kitchen fumes.

Pally widen your window wall to wall or raise the apex to the ceiling and get rid of that ugly burglar proofing and get perspex so that the light can come through and with it the beauty of your tiles.

Nigerians and dark house 'cave' architecture sef.

Amelian: My lovely aunt, of 45yrs died through heart seizure when taking her bath, due to series of heart aches and abusive words are husband hurled at her.. This is a man , she loved so much , as in..she virtually gives him , all her salary every end of month. He will collect it, give her stipends and keep the rest for. Himself, saying he is using it to manage the home, until he married another wife into their home. Completely neglected her with her 4 children.. She always cry to my mum, complaining ...my mum will be like, for Godsake leave this man , come to Lagos. I and my husband will set u up in any biz , u wish to do. But she will say,what will her friends and society think of her if she leaves him...that the shame of being a divorcee is too much for her to handle.. And she wants to be there for her kids and fight for her right in the house... Last yr , she slumped when taking her bath and died, just like that.. Her husband is still married to the second lady, all her kids av left their dad to go search for a better life in other neighboring states... Her two sons hates, their dad like crazy.. One of his son wanted to beat his dad up, when he learnt of his mum's death, if not for timely intervention of neighbors ...all her kids swore never to be there for their dad in his time of need and in old age .... ...
What a huge loss, ...my aunts is one amiable pretty woman ,with a large heart, but unfortunately married the wrong man.

And do you know how many men who don't believe in divorce and neither have a heart for polygamy have developed dibilitating illnesses and died primarily because of their wives. My dear, abuse goes both ways and most on both sides are guilty. The all too common assumption in relationships is that men are devils and women are saints. If so why do girls often fear their MIL. And what do you call the often tempestous relationship.

I think when you've finally tasted power after a long period of starvation do not grab it with both hands but leave one hand to shake those benovalent enough to let you taste it. If it applied to OBJ perhaps he will have done more. If it applied to GEJ perhaps they would have let him alone in peace. But for those knocking on the door perhaps in time to come this lesson will matter most.

Waiting for both sides of the political divide to give this thread some air.

vedaxcool: one year is too short for any president to have made any appreciated difference. especially seeing the sort of problems Egypt came out from, even moSt commentators state this, Mitsubishi had actually made some political mistake, but also made efforts in changing the situation, too me the opposition actually frustrated efforts in reaching a common ground.

Am I thinking about Nigerian politics in this light.

Havilah93: Oga ref, long time now...

We dey alive despite Nigerian footy. Na condition turn crayfish to eagle. I for dey watch euro league. No wahala. August dey come. Nansense.

Havilah93: uruguay beating us junior and senior!

With this midget of a goalie.

Ha, ha. FC Barcelona standard height.

Ajibel: Dis keeper Okani dey too over ambitious in coming out. He may concede another o

Prophet.

shymexx: Who is the coach?

Why take out your best player so far, Aminu, and not the stupid Kayode?

That Kayode guy should never start a football game again for the rest of his life - he's that useless!

Hmmm.

The fact that our players crowd out the ref shows they are not versed with the rules. This is dangerous. Expect more gaffes.

kobonaire: football experts, please explain this to me. How was the Neymar's goal not ruled offside? He was in an Offside position initially and then came back onside but still per my understanding of the rules cannot be the first to receive the ball from his teammate right? Or am I misunderstanding the rule here, please educate me. Thanks

As long as you return in line with the last defender before the pass is made. Neymar did this.
