Very soon they will back it up with the Naija must go bags

Stop sulking. Find another girl. There are so many around these days

There is absolutely nothing strange about the narration. From experience, if you offer a Nigerian policeman on traffic duty (stop & check or stop & search duty) and you start off by offering him some money, the most likely thing is for him to reject outright and ask instead for vehicle particulars. When he is satisfied that all is ok, he usually does not have the guts to ask for the money he just rejected some minutes before, unless it is re-offered.
So, Okey should have tried again when he was cleared to continue his trip and watch his N200 disappear.
Be that as it may, I am yet to see that policeman who would reject a stretched out arm along the highway, even if na shit wey inside the palm.

And what would have happened if the pilot landed the aircraft?
Whatever happened to emergency landing?

Does the pilot not have the prerogative to steer the plane to safety as permitted by their code?

Honesty is the best policy.
A lie is a lie and cheating is cheating no matter the magnitude nor implication.

It may pay to be dishonest, but how long the pay lasts is another issue for contention.
Sometimes, it takes some effort, at times a lot of effort to be honest, but it always pays to be honest, at least you have your conscience intact.

There is another side to it, see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil. How on earth would you know that your friend was cheating on the wife?

[li]Because you saw him chatting with a woman in a hotel lobby? (You could be erroneously assuming)
You met them at a night party? (As an innocent bystander)
You were in the same room with them when it all went down? (As an invisible man)
The man confided in you as his right-hand man? (Birds of the same feather??)[/li]

There was a man who spilled the beans when he was confronted by his friend's wife. After much persuasion, he told the woman what he knew: that her wife was cheating on her. This brought about so much katakata between his friend and the wife that even threathened their marriage. Finally, they resolved and reconciled.

Now this guy lost his friend, who accused him of being a gossiper. The man's wife join forces with the husband and accused the guy of disstabilising her family for her. Honesty, here seems to have paid this guy in cowries, so to say.

I wonder what took so long in coming up with this flipmode squad [b][/b]of a list
How can an upright no-nonsense personality like Akunyili be expected to head the Ministry of Propaganda?
Or the likes of Dieziani Allison-Madueke to head the moribund Ministry of Mines & Steel (supervising ghost coal miners ;D_

For those two, I think the government just set a trap for them. They had better watch out for that proverbial banana peel. I give them 6 months

Business as usual! I guess this man has solved most of our problems then.
Any volunteer in the house for PA to Mr Raymond or Mr Kingsley?

Why they no carry mopol and siren follow the satellite? Boys fit go space, go arrange the thing. Abi no be government property again?

Under the constitution of the Federal republic of Nigeria, Mrs Okere can sue those NN guys.
I suggest she exercises that right which she has as a Nigerian citizen. Get a good Gani or Feyamo (hope they are affordable), and sue them.
That may serve as a deterrent to others.

The  Nigerian dream is what it is, a dream; our dream. It is our individual and collective dreams, but can only be, when we live our dreams.

The truth is that while most of us crave for that Nigeria, only very few are willing and ready to work for it. Many of us still look up on our leaders exclusively to deliver that Nigeria to us on a platter of gold.

Many of us, while we voice our discontent at government policies, are still unable to contribute our fair share and quota towards the realisation of this dream.

Many of us have lost our sense of pride in the Nigerian entity, and would rather proudly fraternise with the successes of other nations.

Many of us today are clamouring for Obama and raising funds for him (by force), while we wish our president would die away in Saudi Arabia.

We can bring this Nigeria of our dreams to fruition, but that has to start from our individual homes and backyards.

How many of us pay our taxes?
How many of us pay our NEPA bills?
How many of us would stash away that banana peel in a bag and dispose of it later in a bin rather than fling it out of the car while driving through the streets?
How many of us clean out our environments on sanitation day rather than sit down at home and watch BBA?
How many of us as Nigerians actually pray for Nigeria while we pray for a job, wife, money, scholarship etc?
How many of us would obey the traffic light even when LASTMA ain't hounding us?

These are some of the questions worth pondering upon, while we dream and live the Nigerian dream.

May God help us to actualise that kind of Nigeria where things work and work well.

It doesn't matter if you can spell 'phantasmagorical' or 'bullshit'.
As long as you can afford to marry 86 wives and saddle them without dropping dead

While our children are on the streets hawking pure water because NUT is on strike, Senator Ekaette is on a jamboree in New York with a bevy of jobless Nigerian women in support of a Bill that has no relevance to the pertinnt issues in this country.

If it bothers you that your daughter goes to school half naked, maybe it's time you strated spending more quality time with her at home.

All we hear of these days are arrests, arraignments, detentions, probes, investigations, yadiyadiyadayada.

Where are the results of all these rantings and gragra?

dariye, fayose, ibori, nnamani, kalu, alams, yerima, audu, odili,, what has EFCC achieved with them?

PH airport was closed for more than a year for renovation work.
Yet, a chachangi aircraft nearly crashed there last week because the airport has not landing lights. n international airport!

What has happened to the ministers of aviation in charge when that airport was closed?
Have we forgotten the souls of those innocent Loyola kids wasted in that sosoliso crash? Their blood scream from the tarmac of that airport against all those who have the power to prevent a reoccurence but yet fail to do so.

Is this government waiting for another air disaster before another probe and another futile airport closure wil be announced?

The Niger bridge will soon collapse. And the Nigerian government looks ahead.

The Benin-Ore road is yet to receive any attention, 9 years and counting. Yet a wise senator of this country had the guts and wisdom to ferry jobless Nigerian women to the UN to lend voice to the Nudity Bill.

Nudity Bill!
While lives are lost in this country to malaria and hunger, someone is busy losing sleep because her daughter chooses to go to school half naked.

Nduka and Thisday has chosen the invitation of weed smoking rapstars, and belly-button baring dancers to Nigeria as an annual ritual aimed at 'laundering the image of Nigeria'. How many times has Thisday invited college professors to Nigeria to give 2 days seminars in our schools? Aren't we entertained enough by the events around us? Or is this one of those strategies aimed at creating more headline news for the print media to make money?

NUT is on strike. The leaders of our tommorrow are on the streets selling pure water, while our leaders are inviting US marines to teach our soldiers  how to fight.

This country is all about misaligned priorities.

Like Asa sang, there is fire on the mountain, and no one seems to be on the run.

I do have a feeling that the ones supporting this loony senator are Nigerians living overseas.
Nigerians enjoying the labour of their foreign host.

Nigerians who cannot afford to spend a decent week in their mother land.
These tokunboh Nigerians do not share the experiences of bonafide Nigerians resident in Nigeria, held hostage by a group of bandits who can afford to pay and shoot their way into political office;
the Nigerian who has to manufacture his own power yet pays his taxes to government.
The Nigerian who recruits and prescribes and pays for his own security yet pays his taxes.
The Nigerian who basically has to do everything for himself that a working government should do, except collecting taxes.

A ban on generators without a feasible substitute is simply aggravating the sufferings of the masses.

Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Senator Smart Adeyemi, has advocated an immediate ban on use of generators at home to ensure the success of the expected state of emergency on the power sector.

Senator Adeyemi, who stated this in an interview, said that all hands should be on deck for the success of the state of emergency in the power sector.

He said the government should immediately set a target date of two years to place a ban on use of generators at home.

“We can allow generators at business centres, but after two to three years, when the effects would have been seen, we can then place a total ban on use of generators in every sector. That is when everybody will pray for the success of the emergency,” Senator Adeyemi said.

He said by banning the importation of generators, the government could successfully tackle the cartel that ruined all initiatives in the power sector in the past.

Adeyemi said: “the president must summon the political will. We should take a cue from the way nations have solved their pressing problems. There is no way except leaders take the radical steps. Energy problems have been on for over two decades now and unless we effect change through reasonable radicalism, we may be a long way to success.”

This must have been one of the mad public office holders that Farida has talked about.

Power failure na old news for Naija
It's now more like a heritage

The health sector in Nigeria may be worse than what it used to be before you left. However it will take the likes of yourself and your colleagues out there to come back home and join hands in making things better. Nigeria belongs to all of us.

Church is about christianity. Jesus usually preached to groups and multitudes. There is a reason to that. Rarely did he have personal encounters except for probably the woman of samaria at the well.  

So going to church goes beyond marking the register or comparing clothing on a weekly basis or contributing to the reverend's building project at VGC. I know they should eat and build and send their relatives abroad  and float business empires from the offering table.

But what matters more than these, is the way you feel entering the church and leaving the church.

If there is no change, then ask God to bring about that desired change.

Assuming that was your fiance, and not some picture you downloaded off google,

Then be prepared; 'cause you've got serious work to do.
No be for mouth oh.
You've got to be UP and DOING. No long grammar.
Dont know about your mum, but most mothers have issues with programs like that with extended ass-sets/arsenal (s'il vous plait).

You dont get those by just sitting down, you know!

If you only you had a picture to prove it, you would have ur phalanges firmly gripped around your Oga's cherries.

Now all you have to do is squeeze at will and make your demands when it suits you.

Wokeyim:
@ Rhea
hmm

Did I leave you speechless?

Nairalanders, here's another nut to crack!

Would you cancel your planned marriage because your boyfriend/girlfriend won't relocate to your country of abode because of his/her job?
Would you marry a man/woman that won't relocate to your country of abode because of his/her job?

The Scenario
The man lives in Nigeria.
The woman lives in Canada.
Both are Nigerians.
Both are gainfully employed and restricted to relocate.
Both have been seriously dating for a while.
Both have plans of getting together but only after some time (~3yrs)

Kindly contribute objectively to this topic. Also cite real life instances where this arrangement is working/has failed.

What would YOU do?

Contrary to what some may think, a woman can still trap a man into marriage with the pregnancy reason.
But then it wouldn't really be a trap unless the baby ain't his. As a man, try and get the daughter of a rich tycoon pregnant. If they deem you worthy of being their son-in-law, then they will drag you to the altar whether you want it or not.

A man willing to have unsafe sex, many of us do anyway, shouldn't be portrayed as having been trapped if the girl gets pregnant. He just had it coming.

What should really bother both parties is the future of such a marriage. A marriage founded on compulsion .

I would thus advise a girl/lady not to resort to pregnancy as a means of commtting a man to marriage. While you may succeed in dragging him to church/court/your father's house, you may not succeed in winning his soul and his love. You may never succeed in sharing in his life. Where the urge permits, delaying sex till marriage works. But that in itself requires A LOT of committment, steadfastness, God's intervention and a bit of 'foolishness' (as the world would term it)on the part of both parties.

A man willing enough to get married can let the sex thang wait. After all, after marriage, na u go tire.

Enough said.

@Superstar1,
Very good analysis. Well done.

Come to think of it,

I'm wondering who's the mental one here,
A man protesting 'suffer suffer suffer suffer suffer suffer for world'[b][/b], or all of us who think he's gone bananas.



You see how our leaders have succeeded in making us so cynical about life.

Death is always a sad one, even that of an enemy.
But are we talking of soldiers that drive like VIP Escort drivers and Bullion Van Drivers?
The same group of people that drive like it's them and chickens on our roads?

Our leaders have demonstrated their penchant for initiating projects, enquiries and probes and abandoning them halfway.

What ever happened to the call for Anenih to be probed over the utilisation of funds for road repairs from 1999-2007?

Whatever happened to the probe of ex-governors (Odili, Nnamani, Orji Uzor etc)?

Whatever happened to Ajaokuta, NNPC, NAFCON, NITEL etc probes?

Whatever happened to the sanitisation of the education and aviation sector?

I believe that our distinguished members of the House of Reps are just chasing shadows, deceiving Nigerians as usual. This power projects probe, though very neccessary, is just a waste of time.

They are yet to show any genuine resolve in getting to the root of the matter. At the end of the day, only the minnows will be disgraced as usual while the grandmasters remain untouchable.

There is no dount that some of them must have benefitted from the bastardisation of these power projects, and hence will go to any lenght to frustrate the enquiry or whatever they call it.

First, i think the opinion is a bit generalised. Some Nigerian girls/ladies do have protruding bellies. It would be 'most' if he had stats to back up the claim.

I guess they are trying to catch up with the men.

On a more serious note, the rate of fibroid cases has been on the rise lately. I would advise our girls to regularise their clinical check-ups so as to forestall such occurence. Fibroid is no longer an old woman's (menopause) wahala. Several cases in teens have been reported. If diagnosed early, treatment should be pretty straight forward.

As for our men, I no fit write abeg!

The numerous check points on our roads will foot the bill for their 'medical checkups'

It is embarassing that the president of the giant of Africa has to be flown overseas for medical treatment in this age and area (new millenium!), while our health facilities rot away in neglect.

Why can't we fix our hospitals and clinics and bring them up to acceptable standards?

Now the Nigerian Police is advocating for compulsory annual medical checkup abroad for officers in the rank of ACPs upwards. (see link below)
