I learnt driving with a manual drive but not I drive an automatic. I really don't understand why someone would want the stress of driving a manual. Wait sef, I'm sure those supporting manual would also ask me to use a typewriter for my documents instead of a computer....why would I want to drive a manual? What a manual can do, an automatic can do better. Someone said it makes one more alert on the road but that's at the expense of what? Getting tired to work everyday? I hope op isn't an engineer that goes home tired after work everyday sha....

with thus your statement you clearly don't know how to drive manual . The only time u probably drove a manual was in driving school ( those clumsy teachers, that don't even know the tricks of up shifting or down shifting .).

iamzoya:
I am a woman and for the past four years i drive a manual car (ford) and its been ok. By the grace of GOD I have never had any cause to worry. Its very easy to avoid an accident with manual cars if you are good at changing gears and you will also enjoy a manual car when its raining.


#myopinionanyway

yes u sure know how to drive. esp when u pointed out how to maneuver and avoid accidents by changing gears. for eg quickly down shifting or putting ur car in neutral when trying to brake abruptly increases the effect of braking almost tripple.

manuals rock sha. autos are cool but jes dere

Sashafm:
What about the stress of changing gears do you think, it's wise for a lady in Lagos traffic?

I live and drive in lagos, Mondays till Saturdays , mainland to island and back. I drive a manual car more often.

Truth is , it's only people that can't really drive manual that bring up the excuse that manuals are stressful.

it's more fun, faster, and you're in control

Maternal and paternal this and that beefs is for jobless Nigerians with single passports. He'd rather haul his ass to one of his abode and hustle than wait around for his share of his thousandnaire Father's lot.

never mind, you're still young.

HungerBAD:
Just like that.

The man has just officially lost his children. And for this young man running his mouth,one day in the East he will be asked to "POINT OUT HIS FATHER'S HOUSE" there.

he's a foolish boy. He doesn't know he's not from his maternal home. There are no utoromis there.

His mum did a poor job by letting her beef with the father affect the kids

Why is he surrounded by only mallams? and they all looking razz sef...

Okikiki:
Abuja is in North Central, no qualms, maybe Abuja is also in the ensuing North West too?

Just thinking aloud.

Oops! I remember, MAYBE Boko war is going on in North West.

The rebuilding works are going on there as was carried out in SOUTH EAST AFTER BIAFRA WAR[?? ?? ?? ? ¿? ?

The three r(s) didn't build anything . I'm tired of complaining about the injustice . Well gej really no try. He ran all inclusive govt. hmmm

hehe why won't dangote do that, when the govt is giving him undue advantage over the test. A That way he controls all the sectors, and becomes the instrument for continous northern domination. What they couldn't achieve with the civil service, they wanna use a monopoly to attain. But I love capitalism, you cant cheat foe too long.

I must say contrary to how people look down on the north as uneducated, one thing I give them is their ability to strategize and make strong political moves. If a southern president made the same move ie give undue advantage to a company like capital oil, or conoil, you'd see a combined criticism from that region. What beats me is how I see supposed educated ppl here not being able to read in btw the lines. Perhaps I'm beginning to see why northern leaders strive to maintain a ruling class and leave the rest of the populace as common beggars. so the ruling class maintains so much power and influence.

Everyone can't have an opinion, it destroys the common good. What I just stated can only be deciphered by the intelligent in depth ones. Some ediot will call me a bigot.

Watch!!!!!!

beryour:
Okay, to answer this...He didnt want them with him and he only comes around once in a while to buy ice-cream for the kids and play with them also giving them lots of promises that never comes alive, and once he leaves..he sends stories of how he is in debt and cant do anything...Also he is a Med Doc.

there are so many questions you can't answer from here , eg who determines the school\school fees, which the children attend, what's the relationship btw both parties ie is it abusive, is the guy punishing her etc truth is no sane man just abandons his kids for no reason. Women can drive an angel into becoming a demon with petty stubborness. If she's a feminist, then surely therell be issues.

Dear friends, the tunnel under discussion is still under construction. It was opened to ease traffic. It is work in progress.

The state governor ordered its opening to reduce the traffic congestion and consequent inconvenience Imolites suffered while it was closed. Let's bear this in mind while making our opinion.

Your opinions are that of concerned people that wish the government well.

Thank you.

okay, the drainage will be built after the roads been tarred? How stupid can this excuse be. Drainages are the 1st things to be dug and established before even laying pillars. As it is, it'll be impossible to put drainages there without almost destroying half of what's been completed there. Rochas the curse of imo

Common federal appointment to a federal institution means you are more educated?

ipob logic is always upside down logic...

I guess the British practiced nepotism n favored ibos ( their greatest antagonists). afterall Una papa use chain from heaven reach here. lol

Buhari gave out licences, same way abacha gave out licences, a licence isn't enough reason to come do business. A Every investor needs guarantee on the safety of his investments. Even the banks will not give out loans if they fear loopholes in the sector being invested in. It should be noted that not everybody has the support and clout dangote enjoys from this govt. Why was dangote scared of building his refinery in the last admin?

If you don't put laws protecting investments in that sector nobody will put money in there. I expect the president to radically insist the Senate pass the PIB. Giving dangote our scarce forex at the detriment of all other businesses is terribly biased and bigoted.

I'm tired of this topic, and just like I spoke out during the ojota jamboree of 2012 and the resultant effect, I'll sit down and watch. we still remember what happened in the cement industry when dangote was the monopply,and how the fg sabotaged ibeto, cause no laws protected him.

Kill all other businesses so we have a dangote refinery, good buhari economics. I've never heard where fg finds a private business and destroys others. Some people still think it's equity .

Stats is in conflict with your Yoruba lies:

Paul Anber's essay "Modernization and Political Disintegration: Nigeria and the Ibos" published in the journal of Modern African Studies vol. 5, No 2 (Sep, 1967) 163-179. See pp 171-172 for excerpt:
" '' A system of Universal primary education was introduced in Eastern Nigeria in 1953, though the mission schools had already prospered in the Region long before then. Despite the fact that there was a requirement for limited contributory fees, education continued to be very much in demand. Even at the time when universal primary education was first introduced, the percentage of the population over seven years of age who were literate was higher in the East than in any other Region: East, 10.6 per cent; West 9.5 percent; North, 0.9 percent. Since 1959, the East has had more teachers and pupils than any other area of the country, with the heaviest emphasis on primary education. Figures for elementary and secondary education indicate that the approximate ratio of teachers to population in 1963 was 1 to every 1,500 in the East, 1 to every 2,500 in th West, and 1 for every 10,000 in the north. Other statistical data reveal how rapidly the standard of living rose among Ibos. The East had the most extensive hospital facilities in the country by 1965, the largest regional production of electricity in the country by 1954, and the greatest number of vehicle registrations by 1963. The economic orientation of the Ibos was also reflected through membership of credit associations:in 1963 the East had 68,220 individual members, the west 5,776, and the north a mere 2,407 ." ''... His source was the Annual Abstract of Statistics ( Federal Office of Statistics, Lagos, 1965)

he's still onw of those ppl spreading beer parlor gist that yorubas are more educated than bla bla.... does he even know who the pioneer indigenous lecturers of the 1st universities in nigeria and the west were? They love to rewrite history sha

Kaysalas:
Now I quite disagree with you, on quota recently, I read about soldiers improvising their battle tanks right there on the battle field(not exactly while fighting was on), to meet the field ops requirements, now we can agree that while the top scientific team of the Germans were in protected kabs doing their work, combatants on the battle ground were not dullards either who couldn't apply some level of scientist knowledge to daze the enemy. Hope you get my drift

this is true but they weren't the techies, there were mechanics trained to repair these machines. they weren't the brains

Kaysalas:
how sure are you they were just combatants with no military technology capabilities?
Very funny, so u don't know that soldiers of the latter part of the 20th century were to a great extent military technologists too with chemical, weilding skills et all. Pls pay quora.com a visit especially the WWII section and upgrade your knowledge. But I must warn you! U must be ready to really read!

hehe trust me I'm very schooled in history and I didn't do (.coms). The techies in WWII were NOT at the front lines, explains why they all fell into allied hands, after the war.
Now various history books, have described the biafran conflict and the role the mercenaries played in them. None described them as techies but just ww1 veterans from Belgium n southafrica looking for coin. I don't know why it's so important for you to rewrite history and disclaim the achievements by the s and r team. The same reason nigeria refused to integrate these techies after the war. This is where the Blackman will always remain backwards. Cos he puts ego n nepotism before science. The US quickly took advantage of the services of Japanese techies irrespective of the fact they'd conquered Japan and hated the gooks. Cos science isn't what you play politics with, rather no matter how little it is, should be improved on at all cost.

That's what makes great sicieties.

bro never mind I'm very schooled in history. I didn't even do (.coms), I read actual books. Now techies in ww11 were not in the front lines. That's why they ended up in allied hands after the conflict. There are numerous accounts of the mercenaries that fought on the side of biafra, none described them as techies.

Kaysalas:
now I like your attitude to this debate. It shows u wanna know the real truth
No doubt, the biafran scientists had enviable CVs, but why do you guys not talk about the foreign macenaries that fought on your side and their influence. Or you wanna tell me na only biafrans fight that war on your side. Google is just a click away

the foreign mercenaries were combatant soldiers who mostly caused more damage than good asides the pilot who was shot down, the rest simply caused problems n were relieved of their positions. THEY WEREN'T TECHIES.. I wished they were. The synergy would hve been great

Seahawk:
if you guys knew anything about child care then we would start talking. Give him underage kids so that he can go dump them them with the new woman in his life or maybe his mother. People who won't take care of the kids like their own. Besides what makes he think he even wanted them in the first place?

what makes you think he didn't want them? You ignorantly assume all fathers if left with custody of the kids, abandons them for the new womAn!! Anyways its true women are naturally more domestiicated than men and thus can pamper and show affection which is important for the childs growth, but mke no mistake in noting children that grow with their dads are usually more disciplined, and better prepared to start life. because fathers play a very impnt role in grooming what a kid will eventually turn out in future. On ther hand mothers end up spoiling and grooming overgrown babies. So pls both are important.

He needs his dad, that's all

Finally in family issues, please take note the courts never solve the problems, you end up spending money, and worsening the situation.

Seahawk:
there's nothing to understand. As long as the kids are his, no matter what happened between him and his ex, it is his duty to contribute to their welfare.

but its her duty to keep the kids right? Enjoy their presence while he's lonely and just an atm machine. You ppl r funny. Whoever decides to keep the kids will naturally spend more. That's why seperation is bad. She should have even left one or two with the man sef.

Bethelwealthy:
bros, you can hug ur narrow narrative like ur pillow as u like. but for me here's my point:
1. Dangote is a big businesa but not as big as 20% of all other business in Nigeria.
2. He's business a deep sea port but so also are other four companies.
3. He's building a refinery but so also are 6 other companies
4. If a million business men rely on a "palstry", forex like u put it, what is the justification that just one man have access to a whopping 10% of that?
5. If FG feel d need to protect businesses in the face of its obselete Policies, it should be across board.
6. If dangote is the next biggest employer of labour after govt and agriculture, please what is the total number of people he employs in a population of 180million that govt is not willing to protect other businesses but dangote that doesnt employ up to 1% of Nigerian population?
7. Lagos is the earth of business in Nigeria and dangote's presence in Lagos is less than 2%, what happen to all other businesses that keep Nigeria liquidity firm?
.....................a narrow mindset is a disease.

explain to that clown that monopolies go against the principles of privatisation and capitalism. Explain to that hard nutted brain, that 10percent of our forex to one enterpreneur while every other is starved is bias and will not ensure lots of employment as compared to when a viable enviroment is created and loads of fdis come in. I'd rather we have 25 refineries, than one super mega refinery.

Be sure that you're reasoning with a person next time......
Not everyone is fit and well to be called a person.

its bad our youths simply can't reason rationally. They think sentimentally and stupidly keep falling into holes un4tunately scholars like us keep being dragged into these holes with them.

I know you will never stop to amuse us with your public display of ignorance.

did you?

Look at the axle in the first picture and explain to me how you can forge that crudely with your bare hands. The hole in your story is bigger than the ozone depletion.

oga anybody that smelts iron can do that. Okay they didn't build it, they imported it from france....happy now

Same boring and unintelligent nonsense...

how can a native doctor understand physics. run along jare

Blue3k:
Fascism approved by comment section. Dangote is the insider. Government bending over backwards to enrich him instead of making it easier for regular nigerians to invest and start companies. It's a polarized issue even in USA. Lots of people here despise the big banks that received bail out to save economy.

but it wasn't big bank, it was big BANKS, so there was room for competition.

monopolies are like our civil service, they will exploit us while rendering poor services.

aresa:
We should not build the largest single refinery in the world till Saraki passes PIB


We should not build the largest fertilizer plant in Sub Africa till Saraki passes PIB


We should not build the largest Gas plant in Africa till Saraki passes PIB


We should not build the largest Petrochemical plant in Africa till Saraki passes PIB


We should not build 1000km sub sea pipeline till Saraki pass PIB

We should not create hundreds of thousands of jobs till Saraki pass PIB


See how dumb, backward thinking and retardded these ipobs are?

if the president pushes for it, the Senate will have no choice but to look at it. If it's all over the news, that the legislature is holding back that bill, they'll sit up, if the radicalism and speed in which the president proposed his infamous grazing bill, they'd sit up. If his body language steps in there ( as Una yalk), we'd see progress. He hasn't shown any interest as concerns that bill, giving dangote 10% of forex while starving other entrepreneurs is biased. Learn to say the truth and stop letting stupid sentiments becloud your judgment.

Warship:
Wrong. The problem is that no one knew how it works. if they knew, they would have produced it.

that's what I said ie technical know how not dere

Aigbofa:
Show me the factories, show me the stamping and extrusion factories, show me the assembly lines. Did you make the tanks inside Ojukwu Bunker out of the prying eyes of the "jelos" Yoruba?

but bros those things were crafted by the s and r team, it wasn't a production factory. Some groups of engineers decide to forge those things in the crudest manners. factories take time and money to build, I'm sure no time for that. whether u deny it or not, those things were not imported cos no foreign power attested to that.
