aribisala0: I say what I like and if your father does not like it he knows what to do.I told him the last time he foolishly quoted me is this a case of hircine amnesia??

the evil product of useless parents. Just because your irresponsible father was a rolling stone that laid your dumb mum that openned her legs the moment the eeediota proposed marriage does not mean you should hate on real people that grew up with real fathers that did things the right way. Say me high to your miserable mama.....what a biatch!

Onlytruth: And for you, it will take an additional 24 years after the century to get to your turn again.
You see most of you people don't understand Nigeria at all.
Even the North would not allow you to smell it again before others. If you doubt me, just keep watching.
You people keep trying to sell us a country that even you don't understand. lol

they like to pretend like they have got their heads wrapped around Nigerian polity and therefore, can give silly unsolicited anecdote to others on how to act, plan, tail-along and even talk when we are in their midst. These people realy have some very funny exaggerations of themselves; I like to call it a caricature: cos seriously, what are they on about

aribisala0: This is not the first time we have won the Nation's cup but this is the first time we are being told the majority of the team are Igbo .

I think those are really regrettable words,moreso because they do not help the Igbo. This is the famed "boastfulness" which even Achebe felt compelled to talk about. I guess many just can't help themselves.

who are you to dictate to anyone the statements that are helpful to Igbos? So it is now about Igbos sanctioning themselves from indulging in things everyother non-igbo will do without anyone raising an eye-brow. Talk of delusions of self-importance and magnanimity.

[quote author=c.fours]yea of course it looks effortless and circumstantial.
unlike igbos who make noise up and down and have no plans whatsoever other than their big mouths, we actually make plans and with little to no noise. so when you see us appear out of nowhere. don't be surprised.

i'm sure APC formation was also circumstantial
https://www.nairaland.com/1189652/tinubu-apc-end-pdps-rule[/quote]you must be mistaken me for one of your ilks that get into debates just to insult a tribe and do "a we against them" rat fight, kid this is 2013, go and get a job or something worthwhile if political debates are too heady and get you emotional to the point of throwing childish temper tantrums that adds nothing to the debate. Now slide off into oblivion you ruffian riff-raff.

Wow, see young ignorant yoruba boys arrogating to themselves some superficial political savvy yet in most of the cases their tribe's persons have ruled Nigeria, it was always circumstantial and not planned.

Yorubas have saintly leaders that never fight eachother and always agree on every issue with needle-sharp unison yet the most notoriuos political turmoils between local political heavyweights this country have ever had to endure have always been in the West; "wild wild west" comes to mind.

Yoruba leaders are the smartest and know exactly what needs to be done to fix Nigeria yet Aremu Obasanjo in the whole of his eight years in leadership did nothing but accelerated our ignominous rupatation and profile of corruption-so much for smartness. Yoruba leaders and political pundits have a perfect grasp of the Nigerian polity and voting history of every tribe yet they could not predict the voting pattern or even successfully rally every Yoruba person in the SW region to vote for the most "loved and perfect" party, ACN in the whole of the SW except through questionable court pronouncements that gave victories to the better rogues. I dey laugh!
Like an Igbo brother had earlier opined; any victory that is predicated on excluding the active participation of ndi igbo is dead on arrival. It does not matter how many lies and propaganda the Lagos-Ibadan press gang peddles, it wont wash. The fact is, If any one of you ignorant MOFOs in the west (obviously from your lack of travelling outside Yoruba Land) think that Igbo leaders are dumb, yoruba leaders are even dumber, if you say they are selfish, yours are glutonious greedy fiends, if you think we are not organized or does not understand Naija's insincere politics then your leaders have been doing a good job selling phoney stories of political sagacity and magnanimity to you lots and nothing concrete or tangible enough to make you lots arrogate this false sense entitlement and ownership you all display when you talk about Nigeria and her leadership. Igbos are no fools you know?

seunfly: It seems southeast leaders does not understand the political pamutation that is going on right now, no party that is serious in winning presidential party that is ready to defeat the incubent non-northerner to present southerner. For me i think the best they can get is to present a very credible northerner 4 president and an igbo vice president.
Also pdp can not present igbo present for either jonathan recontest or not, the best they can get is vp.
But for APC SW vote is already theirs, and core north vote may be their own if they present acceptable candidate.
So they need to get that vice presidency slot to the igbo peaple atleast to compenciate them 4 for waiting for a while.

you sound very naive and partisan. Igbos have just as much right to want the presidency just as any other non-igbo from any part of the country does. If we were to go by fairness, Igbo deserves the support from others especially the west, they have been patient and have played second fiddle enough. Any political permutation that will have them repeat thesame cycle again is nonsense, I rather stick with the PDP where there is a better chance than stay in phoney arrangement where positions are dictated to us by overspent northerners and southwesterners as if they have more rights than Igbos. It is Igbo or nothing. Let the northerners go for vp. Southwesterners should stop their propagander and myth of thinking that their region alone decides the election or that they have the perfect wand for the igbo presidency which igbos themselves are too heady to see. It is all about agreements, compromises, allegiances, alliances and political manipulation not like you southwesterners are any more influential than others to dictate to others. Enough is enough.

Dede1: @OP

Nigerians in particular and Africans in general always look moronic in their choice of analogy. I guess the 1999 Nigerian constitution makes it clear on the provision of human right. The pronouncement is “human” not the acts of human. If heterosexuals form a group and decide to disturb our social decorum with their bedroom antics or roadside shows, I bet you there should be a law against such ridiculous shenanigans. I do not know what or who created the earth however in my assessment, the creator is not a fool. There was no atom of blunder when he\she\it created man and woman. I guess anybody who wants to distort the natural mandate should have a little discomfort. It is very natural.

you could not have said it any better. I keep telling these gay mongers that no right is absolute or infinit in itself, it will have to be in the limits of its jurisdiction to stand else, whatever benefits derivable from it will be null and void. For instance, everyone has the right to freedom of worship but can one still argue about such rights if he goes beyond the boundries of such rights and start making human sacrifices as part of worship, NO?
I have rights to gather with my friends and form any association and fight for rights but if the basis of such formation is such that will threaten people's existence or way of life, don't be surpeised if you lose such rights.
Being gay is a decision and not some natural phenomenon that just happened to some unfortunate person. Such decisions should not be rammed down our oesophagus just so we can look accommodating and advanced while such misnormer takes it toll on way of life.

Freezle: Hey! How are you faring? Please, how can I get in touch with you. Can I get your email or a contact number to reach you. I would love to have the Pdms

my email is incrediblestev@gmail.com and my contact no 08020312170....am on whatsapp as well

Evil Brain: Obviously, they're hoping that by passing this bill they can make Nigerians to forget what a lazy, useless bunch of parasites they all are. They are hoping that we'll forget that they failed to pass the Petroleum Industry Bill last term and that the bill has to start the entire process again from scratch. They are hoping we'll forget about the dozens of other important bills that they've been sitting on, some for up to a decade, without passing.

They are hoping that we'll forget about how they were able to amend the constitution in record time to protect their jumbo allowances, yet they couldn't find time to make the small change that would allow states to control the electricity they generate by themselves and improve the power situation. They want us to forget about the sharing of money every time they pass a budget.

But one day their hour will come. I don't know what will happen in the future, but there can be no doubt that things cannot remain this way for long.

It is so obvious that you are gay. Anyway, the world does not revolve around you and your ilks....get used to that.

Insanity: How U dey? Been a while, i tried to send you IMs but its not delivering. i have the PDMS 12.0 sp4 in my laptop now with the raw files, its a pity you are not yet back. Am through with my training, will be leaving lagos next tomorrow. i did the last stage of my training with the 12.0sp4, ie structures & ASL. How are ​We gonna do it? 'cuz i need the video tutorials really bad.

can you just give me the link to the working version you currently have now. I usually use the wireless internet service from my friend's office when am around to get online and do some occassional loading. i wish you would stay longer may till month end before leaving. let me have you phone number again.
At least we can both get what we want again. pls i will like you to send the information details you sent to me the last time to access those books you sent me.....i lost everything in a system crash...at the moment i am downloading them one by one but the problem is i can't seem to remeber the titles. here is my email:incrediblestev@gmail.com
good to hear from you again.

I See... Apparently, there is now a militant christian moderator for the section. hmmmmm. . . well, just so you know,nobody is here to write things that must always agree with you religious opinion. I am a christian as well, that is if there is anything of such besides nominal attachments and illusional beliefs. I don't believe any Jesus or saviour will come, if you do please explain it with concrete fact, rather than use your moderator power to hide diisident views. you don't have to like me or my views but pls respect them.

hi everyone,
it has been a while since i commented here. i lost my phone that gave me easy access to the internet than my lappy. Anyway, I notice some of us updating the thread and helping others. I have good news for us all, I have been able to download the PDMS video tutorials full package: it is a four-cd package with step by step video tutorials that covers all aspect of pdms. however, there is a little difficulty, the language used is persian and some of us the textual explanation were not written in english either. but for the better part of the video tutorials, it is demonstrative and easy to follow if you already have average background in PDMS, the size of the whole file is 1.2gb.
At the moment, I am not in Lagos but will be there from the 20th of this month, anyone interested can as usual call me up to get it: for free of course.
Mr Kingsley, thanks for the link, however, you are yet to solve the main problem I complained about the last time: the crack file you said one will have to install with the patch for version sp12.0, the i go like get your dial. eggpet site you gave does not help matters either. is there a way we can meet in portharcourt? i really will like to meet with you. my system recently crashed, and i lost most of my pdms books and the installation from my training centre. as i write, i have downloaded more than two version of pdms yet none of them will work. if it is possible.
and my homey, Adekunle sorry i have been off the radar for a while o, my fone spoil and am back in sokoto.....i shall be active again prolly when i get back to lag.

eldoradoxx: They were not expelled for not attending "religious service" they were expelled/ suspended for breaching the rules of the school which they knew punishment that shud follow, they were expelled/suspended for failing to attend an "Assambly" no matter the vagaries nomenclature such Assembly was called. They were by the school rules bound to attend such Assembly but decided to dare the school knowing the full consequence. So what is ur point? Like I said, as a human being with emotions, I might buy the sentiment to recall or commute the expulsion to suspension, but as an institution that has a mandate to churn out refined minds who will take critical decisions in gov, hospitalsn banks, multinational corporations etc, I think Covenant shud insist on rules strictly applying no matter who is involved!

religious freaks like you should not be allowed close to any part of leadership as you are ready to destroy people just so you can get result regardless of the cost of your result.
What is the essense of results if the means to it is greatly flawed.
I am going to ask again, where is it stated in the rules and regulations of the school that non-attendance of church rituals and services is punishable by expulsion? Unless you are high on Oyedepo's fart, punishment should be meted out based on laid down procedure and the severity of the crime or rules broken. Did Oyedepo consult any member of the school's managment before setting out to declare expulsion unilaterally on students whose parents pay an armand leg to keep them there.
In a civilized clime, even the worst criminals get the benefits of procedure to punishment, they get heard before they get pronouncements. That Oyedepo is the founder of the church does nor confer him with the sole right to make unilateral decisions that can destroy the lives of the people patronizing the school. What kind of Father take such extreme decisions to punish his own child. The whole thing seem like the man was angry because his ego was bruised by the fact rhat students were not enthusiastic to attend the religious rituals of "Daddy Oyedepo" despite his "magnanimity".Daddy couldn't stand the fact that students no send am like that. His ego was bruised and in his rage he decided to show them who the boss is. what ist the essence of destructive discipline thar is borderline arrogant?
For fucksake he is just a ceremonial chancellor not even the VC.

The only reason the school management has decided to rescind such a heavy-handed decision that defiles common sense is because some of the affected students and their parents have decided to damn "the spiritual consequences" of questioning daddy GO's ability to make moderate punitive decisions against erring students when he is engrossed in anger and the ability of the school's management board to veto certain unilateral, on the spot decisions he makes when he is overwhelmed and loses control.

There is a problem with such a mafioso way of running a learning institution where people invest their life and mental growth only for one man to run it as if it were some private property of his that can be handled anyhow without the consent of those who paid for the services it renders.

Until people start taking off the deception wool in their eyes that daddy GO has for so long used to mentally tame them and keep them in check, daddy GO will contonue to think of himself as a super-human god whose decision is absolute and can't be questioned.

Authorities need to start looking into the ways these schools are gradually molding people into religious bigots with no sense of their own. Situation where students are handed expulsion or suspension letters because they wont attend a religious rite that has little or no effect to their main purpose of being there calls for serious scrutiny of policies. Nobody should be allowed to indoctrinate people en mass through any form in the name of instilling spiritual whatever against their will. Na only for Nigeria na im adults wey dey University dey go through stewwpid forced orientations against their personal will, orientation that should be given to little kids whose minds are willing and maleable to recieving such molding and orientation are forced on adults whose brains and minds have fully developed and capable of forming their own informed personal decisions.

What is the whole essence of having a management board if daddy can fall from the sky and make a unilateral decision that can't be questioned or discussed before it goes to take effect? Situation where Oyedepo takes a decision and members of the management go into begging for himto reconsider shows there is a flaw with the management. They are there to rubber stamp and echo Oyedepo's senile emotive decisions. By the way, why is he still so involved with the management of the school when he is just a ceremonial Chancellor. , . . . . Na wa O

hahahahhah. . . . . Guys make una relax na, Okija juju wu nwa afo 100 percent, I am not in doubt about that. I know an Igbo man when I see one, and those pictures are actually recent pictures as well of owerri. There is absolutely nothing wrong or strange about those pictures, I don't even believe they put owerri in bad light per se.
It was obvious most of the pictures came from few places in Owerri and unfoetunately they were mostly the unflattering parts of Owerri. I went to school in Owerri and I am from Imo state even though I was not born there, I can say categorically that Owerri is not doubt one of the coolest and well organized places to live in, not just in the eastern region but in the whole of Nigeria, Yes.
Owerri may not have the biggest skyscrappers and infrastructure of commercial and economic states but you dare not say Owerri is dirty, unkempt or has an old look, lai lai. I have been to many Nigerian towns, only a handfully can boast of the pristine and serene looks of owerri; well organized with very many educated people.
Nna Okija juju next, try spread your tentacles biko. . . . But umu owerri make una free d guy biko

Mr Kingsley I have spent better part of my time on net looking for the linkedid forum....can you just podt the direct link to the thread

I understand your point. just thought that it should be affordable for youngstars starting up...65k is a little bit over the top...but no wahala. by the way, i am already registered vat va training centre....plus, i am no novice to piping and drafting designs

Dpros: @Rhymz: we compete with the likes of Lonadek and other big Firms that offer these training. We are professional Engineers and consultants as well, offering trainings to companies and individuals already working in the oil and gas sector. The fees You are paying for your Training is nothing compared to the benefits you get when you secure a job with these skills. If it doesn't cost anything, then you wont even value what you have. So think about it and make up your mind to add value to your career today. it will pay you someday.

@kingsley...could you please post the linkin liknk to the group and again bro...pls upload the pdms12.0 sp6 crack on 4shared for me na ... i beg.

dpros
seriously, your fees are too high. If realy you are in lag, then you need to know that your competitors collect way less for these programs and offer thesame thing if not more.

free2ryhme: Blame the girl for what exactly? Is she the first to end a relationship? Abeg. The guy had issues and that his freaking business. How many of us have been cheated on, beaten, heart broken n we stilll here? Worst things happen to people every day. Some where in African, someone hasn't eaten since this new year n he hasn't killed himself. Someone just lots a WIFE, he is sad but thinking of how to remarry already...
The devil used him period. This life isn't your own n u hv no right to take it.

guy sharap jare! You just dey rant up and down for every blog....evw Lindaikeji blog u still enter there go spew ur poo na wa ao

OsunOriginal: Man stop just talking for the sake of it. What does a state benefit from people selling Gala and people riding okada? If they are farmers or even artisans, a may support you. These people that dont pay tax. These people that turn to armed robbery later. Yet we compete for roads, house, water, electricity, market, etc with them.

Can they move to Akwa Ibom state since the state has now been transformed to Dubai?

it is obvious simple comprehension is not your forte, Mr. Next time you want to butt in on a percieved tribal fight be sure to understand the issues first cos right now you sound like a stray eediota looking for relevance. I can't help your disability o jare!

@Eko Ile
hahahahah. . . Seriously, you have lost objectivity and sincerity, all you want to do right now is win the argument even if you will have to tell lies.
Again I ask, where are you getting your Lagos population figures from?
Lagos is not anywhere near that exaggerated figure. Yes, Lagos is populated but does it realy contain 20million people as you keep claiming, hell NO!

According to official census figures from the Nigerian government that actually carried out census activities in 2006 in all of Nigeria, Lagos State has a population of almost 8million and Akwa Ibom is almost 5million unlike the unofficial and unrealistic claims from the Lagos state government who apparently did not carry out any census activity to back up their outrageous claims of 20million people.
Lagos state Land area is an estimated 3,568 kilometre square which explains the very high population density of 7941 people per kilometre square of land area. Now compare that to Akwa Ibom with a land area of 7081kilometre square and a much smaller population density of 330 people per kilometre square, common sense will tell you that land area contributed immensly to the high
population density of Lagos state than any other factor. Lagos state population will look less dense if spread on a larger land area and people will get a different impression and projection figure from that as well.
What you don't realize is that if every state were to carry out their own independent census, they will definitely be getting much higher population figures as well, not just Lagos state.

The exaggerated census figures attributed to Lagos by unofficial sources is as a result of its relatively small land area. Yes, people come to Lagos to do business, many destinations-business and otherwise- to Nigeria begin in Lagos, Lagos is not neccessarily the last point of their destination. To conclude that every one that makes up the human traffic in Lagos lives in Lagos is simple-minded and shallow.
Do you know the number of people that visit commercial cities like Onitsha, Aba, Kano and Kaduna on daily basis?

Your arguments are more of sentiments, guts feelings and false combative spirit to win an argument than common sense and logic. There's too much politics going on with the way government officials both state and FG churn out population figures, it all depends on intent and not neccessarily facts. But if one was to choose between projections and estimates that did not come statistical collection of data and the greatly flawed official population figures from the Nigerian census board, the latter will be taken more seriously, am afraid.

So na you know where you dey get all those figures you alleged Fashola "feeds and caters" for with his own portion of the billions that accrues to the state.
As far as I know, Lagosians cater for themselves, Lagos state does not have any social security scheme that caters to any segment of the Lagos populace, unless of course we are talking about Asiwaju and company,then I can concur.

As for your challenge of pasting Akpabio's achievement, sunny bobo was doing that until you halted the process with your negetive comments and your superhuman god, Fashola. Anyway, somebody else, cantje has created another thread seeing how you ve succeded in derailing this one. He did justice to it, here is the link;
https://www.nairaland.com/1139783/evolving-city-uyo
go there and fill your eyes, I hope you won't start making those petty statements of envy again like you always do; you did it with the Enugu thread (you prolly met some crazy igbo fellows there that were ready to take you word for word and blow for blow, and then ran out) That thread is now in its 88th page.
Now you are doing same to this one, reminds me of that saying: you don't get ulcer from what you eat but from what is eating you.

Eko Ile: Delta state's budget for 2012 = 361.

Delta state's population 3-4 million


Delta state is 4 times richer than Lagos state, but still nothing to show from UDUAGHAN, Ibori and others combined...

Eko Ile na wa for you sha. . .how is Delta State richer than Lagos na. Delta collects 16billion monthly and Lagos collects 10billion monthly plus the huge 23billion they get from IGR. Even with aids agency for the Niger deltan states like NDDC and co, Delta state does not get up to 15billion with all that combined besides the monthly allocation. I know you are passionate about your points and views but please stop making random statements and quotations you can't prove with facts and real figures. Lagos today still remains the richest Nigerian state, oil derivation or not. You call these other states richer because they get way higher amount through their derivations not neccessarily because they are rich per se, no need to exaggerate and make suggestive statements that do not have facts. Whatever accusations you have for AKS government should also be extended to Fashola's government, period. Enough of the Lagos propaganda machine. You keep talking about how Lagos has 20million people, do you realy believe that crap? You are so eager to quote 4-5million population given by the Nigerian census board for AKS but fail to do thesame for Lagos whose population figure they put at around 10million. Stop with the eaxggerations abeg. Lagos do not have up to 20million people, the small Land area of Lagos state seems to give the wrong impression that its population is that much, it is common sense my guy, with its small landmass, and high population figure, high population densities will be recorded in most of its area, does not neccessarily mean people are as much as exaggerated. Take that same population figure of Lagos and spread it across AKS that is like more than twice the Land area of Lagos state and you will get an entirely different impression of the actual population. So stop hinging your argument on population like Lagos is some shanghai, Mumbai or California city with both large mass and population. Again, I am going to say it, there is just as much corruption in Fashola's government as there is in Godswill Akpabio's. They have both done their bit but their is not totally the best we can get. I will rate chime higher than the both of them, seriously. Until there is a commensurate evidence of development with the huge sums the both get then tell your tales to the pope he prolly will believe all that sugar-coated propaganda.

ballabriggs: So PPP is not an achievement because state resources are not put into the partnership? Go back to your weed biko.

it is an achievement of course except that such feat could have been achieved without neccessarily being indebted, that is the difference between Fashola and Akpabio, now you get it.

ballabriggs: Lagos does not need people to march from Abakaliki to Alagomeji to sell gala, how the hell does it benefit from such? Lagos does not need the Okada riders leaving Abuja to Lagos? They are not people the state cannot do without, they are a nuisance. You can also tell the British people not to worry about immigration after all immigrants pay tax. Abi no be so? See logic.

IGR? Why has Kano not raised its IGR even with its large population? Raising IGR takes vision, it takes strategy, it takes having a working information management system and that is what Lagos has achieved.

So PPP is not an achievement because state resources are not put into the partnership? Go back to your weed biko.

so all the pple that migrate to Lagos sell gala and do not add anything to the coffers of Lagos state, what a stoopid assertion to make. You are a joke carried away by emotions and a foolish need to win an argument.

ballabriggs: Since 1992, 20 years ago, what has Lagos received from the center apart from Ogunlewe and FERMA beating people up to take control of "Federal roads"? Most of that which was earlier built has been eroded due to the pressure on the state. What Fash has concentrated on is rebuilding that which has been depleted over the years and he is doing even with the constraints from those running from Otuoke to Alagomeji.

Why? Because Jona and Ngozi done carry N5 trilion run.

All you see is the pressure on Lagos but you forget that Lagos is a beneficiary of the large population. The fact that people migrate to Lagos and even invest there is a drain to their homestate. IGR that Lagos boasts of is largely from this huge population, so make we hear word jare! Lagos and fashola are overrated, his achievements are not at par with the amount of money that goes into the state's coffers every month, most of the meaningful projects and developments in Lagos are either PPP driven or solely private sector driven. The so-called schools he renovated are just average schools that still do not attract parents. Lagos state still has the largest concentration of private schools and patronage. The qualitity of the new roads being built are in doubt, some of them are already facing rehabilitation repair. And where are the 5000 schools? Abi na for your dreams? You call mere painting and resurfacing building blocks of class rooms. . .hahahah. .guy you dey jones.
