 Politics › Re: Why Do People Hate Bola Tinubu? by Reference(m): 8:33pm On Oct 15, 2012 |
earthgreeners: Jelousy and Bad belle na him dey worry all of them oooo...Once again therein lies the problem. GEJ will be gone in a few years with few side effects. The way ACN is going they will probably require Tinubu to hang around forever to keep the party going. Smart money doesn't follow this unsustainable model short to medium term gains not withstanding. |

dayokanu: Thats why you are wrong.Hmm. That is quite true and credible but therein lies the problem - this godfatherism which most Nigerians dislike. Remind me of the famous American statesman who said what Africa needs is not strong men but strong institutions. Tinubu wants to be an institution. History says its not possible in this case. His moves cast doubt about his democratic credentials. The southwest is a one party state for good or otherwise. |

snowprince01: Illiteracy is bad..suicide shouldn't hav bn their only option. 2 me I thing this story is not real.. How can 4 people decide to commit suicide over such an incident? Really its funi and I do not sympathize with people who take their own life's ..but mr presidentNot everyone out there has the temerity of Jimoh Ibrahim or Femi Otedola who take loans with no intention whatsoever of repaying. Some hardworking, honest Nigerians out there have taken their lives rather than face the impending disaster. I don't approve but I understand. What we who are alive should be concerned about is the cost of food next year and the ripple effect on our economy then we can make light of more suicides to come. |

Billyonaire: Cos service providers seem to hyper-inflate the real costs of services.Yes, to cover for those who won't pay. If you were the bank that Otedola once owed 140bill and had the freedom to set rates, fees and charges won't you be tempted to hike them to remain afloat. |

The day I accidentally saw a memo from one of the now defunct banks to another is the day my mind was made up. Even government doesn't pay for services as and when due and am not talking about party politricking, statutory obligations. |

Just another angle to the dishonesty and indiscipline of the average Nigerian, that's all. Factor it into your business model and charge those that pay more to cover the gap. Everyone does it, airlines, PHCN, telecos, traders, etc. One of the reasons the cost of living rivals Tokyo or London while were worse than Calcutta or Karachi. 2 Likes |

GboyegaD: And our governments who loots the whole treasury only gets 6months imprisonment. Nigeria is very backward in thinking. The guys should get a better lawyer and appeal their case as death is not the penalty for armed robbery.Perhaps in the country where you reside, but in Nigeria armed robbery is a capital offence punishable by death. And by the way that's why the overwhelming majority of robberies are violent. Its a viscious cycle. |

| Politics › Re: Climate Change: Lagos May Vanish In 50 Years - Experts by Reference(m): 10:00pm On Oct 05, 2012 |
Everyone enlightened and devoid of sentiments knows this but I won't go as far as saying Lagos will disappear. It will be a different place though. True, some parts will become desolate, true, a lot of poor people will loose their homes and take to floating dwellings but for those who can afford it the government will probably build compleq and expensive sea defences that will astronomically raise the cost of tenancy and lead to an exodus. In summary, I don't think averse climatic conditions themselves determine the viability of settlements but the cost of coping viz. the wealth of communities affected. If our per capita remains the way it is by then (hope not) then the only thing left standing in VI in 50 years might as well be the Mike Adenuga Towers with Paddy's yatch parked outside. |
| Travel › Re: Qatar Airways Crashlands At MMIA IN Lagos by Reference(m): 1:16pm On Sep 30, 2012 |
kooto: I don't seem to understand,can an aircraft tire burst while in the air?Most certainly. The wheel bay isn't pressurized so a highly inflated tyre will only get bigger (if air or contaminated nitrogen is used to inflate it) and if it is highly compromised by cyclic wear a.k.a old, it can give way anytime. But my guess is that they lost both tyres on take-off and didn't notice the sensor readings till they tried to land. Or maybe they had a hard landing and lost both tyres then.... who knows. |
| Travel › Re: Qatar Airways Crashlands At MMIA IN Lagos by Reference(m): 1:06pm On Sep 30, 2012 |
kinglee007: @ MAYOWAAK, the plane did not crash land. It did a bearing in the air for a while because the tires did not come out when it was about to land in morning today. After that it had communication with the control tower if it was okay to land, the response was positive and it landed safely. Hope you know the meaning of "CRASH LAND"?. Was telling my pals that the movement was very unusual and erratic for a holding pattern. That's how the pilots of a European airline were fighting to fix their landing gear, lost concentration, lost their bearing and dove into the ground. I won't be surprised if house insurance premiums go up around the flight path to MMA. This is getting too serious. 1 Like |

Many from both sides will not have liked the man but he was a like one of those catridge fuses that protects the system. Now he's gone the question is did he groom anyone of similar ideology or are we in for some rough inter-faith, north-south times. |
| Car Talk › Re: What To Do If You See A Pothole At 100km/hr Speed Or Above? by Reference(m): 7:30pm On Sep 28, 2012 |
Depends on the vehicle and your instincts but the best thing to do is to minimise contact while maintaining stability. If you can free 1 wheel good, 2 better, 3 better still. The worst thing you can do is brake and swerve at the same time. You'd almost always loose control. I let two tyres go along Ikom road at the infamous 'Devil's Hill' at 160k's and still recovered to make Abakaliki a while ago. Minimise contact. Never, never brake and swerve. 1 Like |

Most folks misunderstanding issues here. Career women, not rich women, not feminists. To this report I say a big yes because the software that drives a successful career is not compatible with the role of home maker. Just to mention one factor. In careers there is the relentless drive for influence, power and promotion while in the family you enter and retire at the same grade level. Your boss is your boss for life.

md4real: Its very pathetic how shallow and callous your sense of reasoning can be. I guess u are naturally daft. If not, a bit of history on international politics would have educated about how the state of Israel came to be. Israel has not only be occupying the palestine land but also imprisoned and exile the occupants of the areas it occupied. An action that can only be compared to what hitler did to em. As if that's not enough, it bombard the people on a daily basis, kill innocent children and totally denial the other unoccupied parts of palestine the right to fundamental human rights.But Sir. There is history before 1948 when Israel II was formed so I think you should do some reading too. Jews and Persians go long, long way back and territorial interests have interchanged for millenia. I think there is a Persian revival of sorts and the message goes out to the younger Jewish and Arab civilisations. We are back, we are here and we are going no where. That's why both Isreal and Arabs can't wait to checkmate them. 1 Like |
