Romance / Re: Getting Married In A Couple Of Weeks, And Discovered Hubby Is A Fraud! by ridgeman: 2:34pm On Jan 13, 2012
Obviously someone has hacked into someone's email. Action speaks louder than imagination.
£20,000 is a lot of money to spend on anything let alone a failed marriage! Don't tell him you saw the message(truth is he probably already knows if he's a nairalander as he'd have seen this thread). Delete it and carry on with your life, but keep snooping around as you might stumble on the truth e.g ex-girlfriend etc. Good luck!
Politics / Re: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala And Sanusi On AIT Matters Arising by ridgeman: 1:58pm On Jan 10, 2012
What a waste! If that is the best defence this duo can offer in support of removal of subsidy then Nigerians we may not live to see the fruits. So to cure cancer they will kill the patient?
Politics / Re: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala And Sanusi On AIT Matters Arising by ridgeman: 1:03pm On Jan 10, 2012
Sad! These are Nigeria's celebrated geniuses that can't detail out plans on how to use additional funds. So academic so amatuerish
Politics / Re: Will Jonathan Reverse The Fuel Price To =n= 65/litre? by ridgeman: 8:53am On Jan 10, 2012
GEJ is standing at the door of history, if he walks through he will cut government spending by at least 75% and will have full support of the public, if he turns back and reverses the price and still leads a bloated government then he will forever be labelled a failure. GEJ do the right thing for Nigerians!
Politics / Re: Why Gain A Kobo To Lose A Naira? By Dr. Okonjo-iweala by ridgeman: 1:52pm On Jan 09, 2012
I really hope they get this subsidy thing right! Because if they don't the human toll will potentially tear subsaharan africa apart. The entire world will not be able to contain the carnage and yes another mighty human catastrophe will be witnessed. GEJ luck got you into Aso rock, Luck will not help you to govern properly. If this thing goes wrong there will be nowhere on earth for all of your cohorts to hide. Nowhere!
Politics / Re: Keeping Them Honest: List Of Gej Campaign Promise(no Fuel Subsidy) by ridgeman: 7:03pm On Jan 02, 2012
@tainot2002, LWKMD :-)
But seriously how do we track all these 'promises'?
Its not that difficult if we keep track?
Politics / Re: Keeping Them Honest: List Of Gej Campaign Promise(no Fuel Subsidy) by ridgeman: 11:06am On Jan 02, 2012
Tragic! I didn't even realize they were that many or even that reckless!our President is clearly out of his depths and it won't take time before real power is pulled away from him
Politics / Re: Fuel Subsidy Withdrawal: Nlc And Tuc Mobilizes For Street Demonstrations by ridgeman: 10:27am On Jan 02, 2012
I think an earlier poster put it best- nothing is going to happen if its left to organised Labour protest. The union leaders are all on one government payroll or the other! Only the real 'common man' can make any impact. 2012 is the year of common sense for the common man
Politics / Re: Breaking News: Fuel Subsidy Removed by ridgeman: 12:40am On Jan 02, 2012
It took my neighbours house helps the entire day to travel back to his house! They spent most of the day looking for affordable transport! What if Nigerians just cannot afford to pay for fuel and work grinds to a halt nationwide?! Forget NLC induced/encouraged strikes. What if we just cannot afford the 'real' price of fuel? What then? Folks the FG hasn't done its homework properly and this(not BH) might be what finally breaks the camels back.
Politics / Re: Breaking News: Fuel Subsidy Removed by ridgeman: 6:55pm On Jan 01, 2012
Bold move Mr President! History is full of leaders who miscalculated their 'followers' support. They all paid a heavy price. No country on this planet can exist without some sort of subsidy(call it relief) to the general masses. I'll see what you intend to give back to Nigerians today(seeing as you removed the subsidy today)unfortunately something tells me you haven't figured that out yet. Nigerians pray that desolation and poverty will not be your portion this year!
Politics / Re: New Year Shocker Awaits Service Chiefs by ridgeman: 4:12pm On Dec 31, 2011
Does GEJ have the support of the Military? I doubt it. BH is small in comparison to what will happen when the subsidy is removed and Nigerians increasingly suffer. As the saying goes- give a man enough rope and he will hang himself!
Politics / Re: Help! Dying Woman At Oshodi Under Bridge. by ridgeman: 2:27pm On Dec 30, 2011
@OP Well done, I'm sure the lady won't mind too much about the pix,after all you saved her from God knows what!!
Politics / Re: Would Buhari Have Tackled Boko Haram More Effectively. by ridgeman: 6:22pm On Dec 27, 2011
Buhari would have dealt with BH same way as he dealt with other issues during his brief time in office. Having said that, the real issue is what is GEJ going to do about BH right now it appears that he doesn't have a plan of action. The sad thing is that other 'extremist' movements will see this as an opportunity to unleash terror , and that is the bigger problem
Business / Re: N26m Balance Found In Bank Account by ridgeman: 11:26pm On Oct 30, 2011
no need to take the money out,

my advice is dont touch it, just keep getting regular bank statements,

if you are a clever business man then you would know that having a bank statement like that can make doing business very easy,
Politics / Re: Please, Is Nigeria A Country Or A Company? by ridgeman: 8:29pm On Oct 29, 2011
its a company!

unfortunately it's going to be one big warzone in the next 15-20 years if things don't improve,
Politics / Re: Nigeria Will Not Divide - David Mark by ridgeman: 9:21am On Sep 24, 2011
Don't mind David Mark, only he knows why his topic of discussion was Unity of Nigeria,


Just watch he is positioning himself and don't be surprised if he continues harping on about Unity
its all an effort to be relevant when the middle belt get tired of being used as a buffer and finally decide
their own destiny,

Which is more interesting Senate Leader or President of a new Nation,


David Mark will not be talking of Unity then,
NYSC / Re: NYSC Will Stop Posting Youth Corpers To Private Companies? by ridgeman: 11:19pm On Sep 17, 2011
I pity those who get posted to public offices,

Exactly what do you hope to get out of being posted to a Government entity? A job? Valuable experience? Useful Contact? Exposure?

Forget all of that

With the decrepit, inept and incompetent public institutes we have it will be nothing but pure torture to send Corpers to them.

This is another half baked opportunity by a mischievous minister to 'siphon' funds out of the NYSC.

How will we the public keep track of the NYSC funding if all of them and I mean all of them are now to serve in public institutions when the public institutions themselves are falling to pieces? At least the private sector is more transparent i.e. if you earn you stay in business if you don't then bye bye

This is a huge massive step backwards
Family / Re: Police Arrest, Detain 'miracle Child-birth' Woman by ridgeman: 10:51pm On Jun 22, 2011
hope those kinds are being taken care of, it will be a double tragedy if after all of this they end up suffering,
Politics / Re: Did Gideon Akaluka Really Desecrate The Holy Qur'an? A Contrarian Muslim Review by ridgeman: 11:34pm On Jun 21, 2011
@Poster, apparently this has been on your mind for years, it is good that you are speaking up now, I pray you will also have the courage to speak up when the next religious riot kicks off in the North and stand up to stop the violence,

the religious slaughters that take place in the north is not right and will only stop when informed folks like you are not afraid

the slaughtering needs to stop, now
Crime / Re: Hausa Actress Knows Death Sentence Fate July 8 by ridgeman: 11:27pm On May 18, 2011
She might or might not be guilty!

But how many politicians or public officers has the court sentenced to death for worse crimes in the 8 1/2 years since this crime was committed?
NYSC / Re: Petition To Withdraw Youth Corpers From Violent Northern Nigerian States. by ridgeman: 8:37am On May 08, 2011
Please also channel all your anger here


National Senate
http://www.nassnig.org/nass/contact.php


National Assembly
http://www.nass.gov.ng/nass2/contact.php

Nothing will come out of this outpouring if you don't keep knocking on their doors and reminding them all that they have blood on their hands
NYSC / Re: List Of Corp Members Killed In Bauchi As Released By Nysc by ridgeman: 2:00pm On May 01, 2011
This is so so Heartbreaking

In the name of God our heavenly Father May all their souls Rest In Perfect Peace,


Nigerians, please do not let this evil be swept away under the carpet, when a Nation cannot cherish its youth then it has lost its essence for existence,


Rest In Peace all of you, may your Families be comforted with your loss, They will surely see you again. Amen
NYSC / Re: Petition To Withdraw Youth Corpers From Violent Northern Nigerian States. by ridgeman: 3:23am On Apr 24, 2011
NYSC, another white elephant project- ambitious and full of promise, but dead on arrival!

Has anybody done the maths yet on the NYSC program, can you imagine how much of the country's wealth has been siphoned away all in the
name of NYSC? Alternatively have we calculated how much is lost tying up our graduates in low earning jobs all in the name of unity

Its mind boggling how we Nigerians continuously get taken for a ride! Did it have to the deaths of those corpers to wake people up,

@OP I don't know where your online petition is but there are a few tools you can use e.g. http://www.petitiononline.com/ to get the word out.

Nigerians please wake up, you only have this country! the West don't want you and East won't have you,

NYSC is another scheme to steal away all of your hard earned money!

May the all the corpers who lost their lives Rest In Peace. AMEN
Politics / Re: At Times I Feel Ashamed As A Hausa Man by ridgeman: 12:07am On Apr 20, 2011
if that's the case then what would you say about the following:

Hutu - Genocide of Tutsi's
Sudanese Arab- Genocide of Black Sudanese
Germans - Nazi extermination of Jews
Japanese - Complete humiliation of Chinese
English - Enslavement of Africa
Portuguese- Enslavement of Africa
France- Enslavement of Africa
Spanish - Enslavement of Africa and South America
American - Annihilation of the American India
etc etc etc

I could go on and on and pretty much every single race/tribe in this world will have done something extremely evil and shameful.

So the problem is not religion or race the problem is the leadership, plain and simple.
Politics / Re: Buhari Rejects Results In 22 States And Fct by ridgeman: 11:53pm On Apr 19, 2011
This is all tactics, in African politics its a text book strategy to reject any result that doesn't favor you in the hope that you will be offered something in return for dropping your case.

I just hope things will not get out of hand, because it will be the masses that will suffer most,
Nairaland / General / Nepa/phcn Electricity Phases by ridgeman: 11:12pm On Feb 22, 2011
Hello,

I just wanted to find out what the policy/practice is with regards to having 3 electrical PHCN/NEPA phases in Lagos,


I've seen some people modify the supply so that they can use 1 phase if the other 2 phases are off.


Do please let me know and apologies if this is the wrong place to post it.

Thanks
Politics / Re: Patience Jonathan Unable To Read Own Speech by ridgeman: 6:19pm On Jan 28, 2011
Really couldn't find anything wrong with her speech- yes it was slow, slurred etc but nothing fundamentally wrong,

I'm just glad that she at least is willing to be seen and heard in public, unlike some other first ladies (in Africa),

she'll do just fine with some elocution and delivery classes,
Career / Re: Rich Dad Poor Dad - An Impractical Book by ridgeman: 6:12pm On Jan 13, 2011
@kambo,

Many have followed the book and ended broke likewise many have ended up millionaires,


Seeing as you raised a valid point about its application to Nije- why not do a version for Nigerians?


we could make it a NL project and have folks collaborate etc,

2 cents
Politics / Re: Gowon And Bayero Worked For Pfizer Against The Children Of Kano by ridgeman: 5:38pm On Jan 10, 2011
Nigerians are not eating out of dustbins? Must we wait until - they not only eat out of dustbins but also garbage dumps before getting things right?

I wonder how many other elder statesmen are positively intervening on our behalf!

From $2B to less than $75M its not even 10% of the original figure,

Fast forward 10-20 years when the victims and their dependants start overwhelming the resources of Kano state- where will these elder statesmen be?

a former head of state and a traditional ruler conniving to cheat their own people out of a tragedy,


God help us!
Autos / Re: Toyota Highlander 2006 For Sale price reduced now N2.5M by ridgeman: 10:11am On Nov 22, 2010
Thot this was already sold once? Why the return to NL? Is it still Toks fresh or has it now spent some time on Naija roads- hence the reduction in price?
