I don't know if this has been posted but here are other shots of Kwara Mall in Ilorin from SSC

How did the govt ignore the crash report? Has the NTSB released their investigative reports? Or has NCAA or whichever relevant agency released their reports? Accidents do not only occur in Nigeria, it happens here as well. What NTSB does is simply release a preliminary report based on recordings, but the FULL reports particularly those involving casualties take up to more than a year.

Last I read, the Nigerian government said it had halted parts of the report for now last time I read, but the preliminary was released.
I know the NTSB takes a year or even years to finalize everything.

I'm just saying that people should not think Nigerians are crazy for being cautiously optimistic about Dana 2.0, it was only a year ago.

manny4life: Na wa for some people o, does it mean the airline isn't airworthy anymore?

Unfortunately, the accident has happened, they were under for 7months, they're back now having passed stringent regulations and need I say tough sanctions. So what's the problem? As for the victims, no amount of money nor publicity can bring them back, regardless of what Dana does with their PR.

All we can ask is the FG is be tougher on these guys. They're no different than the tens and hundreds that die via luxury bus accidents or tanker explosions.

I think the fact that the government abandoned the Crash report and literally re-instated them over night makes people reasonably wary. Things happen but all this rush rush should not be in a serious matter like this.

That's my worry about Nigeria, the ability to build is there but maintaining it is the problem. Imagine if America never worked on the Federal highway system after Eisenhower left, how many years is that 60+ years. What road would there be to talk of.

You could have a monument of OBJ's a.s.s built in Nigeria no problem, but see how the thing will be sagging and looking a hot mess after two years pass.

The mentality on that end has to change, its easier to keep up repairs than to start fresh. Maybe the 500th time is the charm.

+1 I have no idea how you rain abuses from the jump and expect someone to listen to you

His power of persuasion he claims

The Lagos Light Rail terminals remind me of this :



But the other stuff is nice. Thank God good construction is making a comeback.

Sagamite:

You are a person!

Show me the charts that says it has not worked. Make sure your chart considers lagging factors.

Your moronic arsse is getting a bit more confused?

You are still struggling with your dumb assertions that people don't show people things when they teach? Foool!

So which school failed you to the point you claim to be educated in USA but don't know what Rosa Parks did?

I said it that fucktards could not have attended good schools.

You are supposed to be educating me so I'm asking for you to show me quantifiable proof that "Sagamite is working"

So instead of boring me with one long useless rant tell me what she did, I want to hear your approved version of events so I can go ask my teacher at my school

You are still struggling with your dumb assertions that people don't show people things when they teach? Foool!

If you were being honest you would know I never said anything of the sort, but asking for basic decency from you is like meeting a stri.pper that is not named Candy. Its impossible.

But go ahead.

Matter of fact can you tell me the name of the prestigious institution you attended. I'm sure they would love to hear the "fine" work one of their dropouts alumni has been doing since he left their campus.

To be honest I don't know why you are bothering to answer him. Maybe if this was a sincere person asking the question it be worth your time. But in this case Eko Ile is not criticizing because he cares about the citizens of Awka Ibom this is just one loser's attempt to tear down any state that is not Lagos. Awka Ibom could look like Tokyo and he will still find fault it could be that instead of using red bricks to line the sidewalks you used blue, so therefore you are a failure because according to the metrics he pulled out of his a.s.s. red is the standard (Mind you Lagos could be using blue, but its Lagos so it doesn't count ).

You would think being Fashola's paid b1tch would limit time online but it must be a slow January.

Sagamite:

You are a person!

So now your daft arsse says you have to be taught something?

So, cretin, you can't prove that my attempt has not worked?

When you show me proof, then your moronic arsse can ask a question.

Product of a failed education system whee teaching does not involve showing.



You are a person!

What our moronic arsse claimed was reaction cannot spur change?

person, so what did Rosa Park do? They did not teach you AA history in your failed school?

person, what about stonewall riots?

person, how did the black marches begin? It was not through some people's words?

person, how did the Arab spring start?

You are a person! You are a daft product of a failed education system where past data is used to assess future lagging effects.

Can you please show proof that your words have worked. Anything a chart? Graph? You claim your words work so show me someone somewhere saying that because of you they did "x".

Tell me what Rosa Parks did?
Tell me what MLK Jr did?

I would like to know

And I never said you cannot be taught certain things in order to learn. But there are certain things in life you have to figure out on your own. I know you have to lie to make your point but keep it to a minimum baboon.

But I doubt you actually be reasonable to answer my questions so you have to twist what I say

Brave men and women I salute you.

^^
Of course govt on some level is involved. In some countries getting hitched comes with incentives, in Dubai natives who marry other natives get tons of goodies (on top of what the already get). you might get tax breaks, and etc. But I don't think a good deal of countries micromanage marriages like they are doing here.

The next problem is why should it be only one religion receiving this kind of treatment? Can Christians, traditional faiths, and everybody else sign up? Even if their number in the state is small no matter how crazy the scheme it must be applied equally.

The Kano Govt could help with logistics but for something of this nature is should not be contributing its money. In India a similar thing is done but for newlyweds that would not be able to afford the dowry required for marriage but its a NGO/Private Group that facilitates the event.

Money on education and loans to help start business would be better in the long run. It would be better to educate people to not stigmatize divorcees and widows than to marry people.

shymexx: Crayola1, Roseart or stillwater

Three cops got shot in 3rd world NYC yesterday by thugs...


Topic:

Sokoto looks lovely...

Crayola is Roseart (its a type of art product )

They were in the line of duty and it was one person. In 9th world London gang members killed a innocent Ghanaian guy over mistaken identity.

shymexx:

Oh well - this shows you don't anything about America... And as long as the UN charter about the indigenous people remains valid, Native Americans will always be the most relevant Americans... Heck, they even have their own international passports!

How come the "almighty" US with its big guns didn't stop them from creating a separate identity for themselves within the same country I dare any other group in America to try the same thing and see if the FBI won't be all up in their ar.ses...

*Lecturing Crayola1 about America*

Well not many of them seem to be snapping up these passports (which do not exist for the American ones at least) If you are relevant shouldn't you be able to demand change that benefits your group? Native Americans are the poorest and most neglected minorities in the US, even Blacks and Hispanics do better than them in all indices.

Actually Native Americans in some cases were forced to assimilate, it was only with the civil rights movement of the 60's that Native Americans have begun to reclaim their heritage. You are allowed to create your own identity in the US as long as it doesn't break any laws. Which is why the KKK as long as the seek permission before hand are allowed to march and say hateful things in public. The FBI only bothers you when your actions will cause harm to the public.

Anyway, this is not what this thread is about so I'll stop interrupting it

shymexx: Bwahahahahahahahaha

You have found a master to study from Sage Sagamite only takes the best of the mentally ill

shymexx:

You definitely need to care if you want an Idris Elba-esque guy like me...

Just ask questions and I'll explain the difference between the two...

I probably also know more about America than you do... I should anyway since I lecture Americans all over the web about their country all the time...

You thought Native Americans have relevance in the US, that alone says you have no clue about this country. NA have it worse than everyone in this country

OlowoTee: ...So easy to shout from the 'mountain top' and where was sagamite during the fuel subsidy rally? *smiles.

That's my point, that was what I was asking. I'm not saying everyone should go into politics but change can happen in various ways.

Maybe he thinks India got their independence by being outraged. No, they got off their behind and demanded better.
Blacks in America were angry at their treatment for a long time, did Whites give a crap about them being mad. Hell, no but when Black people protested, marched, went through the courts, and did whatever else they could to change the law things did change.

If your only portion is to remain angry on the internet you are no better than the people you criticize.

Did GEJ back down from the subsidy removal because of angry facebook posts or the fact that people were in the damn streets raising hell?

I tire for some of the people on this site. You are well in your right to criticize things in Nigeria but at some point words need to be backed with action.

If your proof that you are changing this is "how do you know I'm not" then its clear you are a joke.

Tell me how Nigeria which was not considered a failed state before in 2005 is now among the top 20 in 2011, is showing signs of progress in the right direction. Unless GDP is now the only thing worth considering

It was a simple question that had no malice behind it and now I'm hearing all kind of BS other than the topic at hand, guilty conscious must be speaking.

Even if he said well I'm not doing "x" at the moment but I hope one day to do this, that would have been better than his useless "I think I'm smarter than you rant"

Sagamite:

You are a person!

Still struggling?

No if I want to fly, I will learn like a product of a failed education system like you and meditate till I learn it. I will not let anyone show me because to a product of a failed education, showing is not teaching.

person what you need to be doing is proving that I have not made any change. I have been waiting a while for your proof. I know proofing is too hard for a poor product.

Oya, resume and prove that to me, cretin!

Struggling over what

Well I guess you must be the only one who learns that way then
In most cases you have to be taught something and then figure out how to apply that concept on your own
But I'm sure when you learned math you just looked at it and understood it instantly because you are an alleged genius.


You said you are making change aren't you supposed to be proofing The burden of proof is on you not me because I've seen no real noticeable change that is positive in Nigeria, but you claim that you have been the catalyst for change can you show that?

My proof is only a google search away your own? From your a.s.s most likely

By the way I asked you a question about the gun issue in the UK and the US why did you just gloss over that? No answer?

Sagamite:

You are a person!

It seems you are daft cretin that has a leaking brain.

I asked you a simple question: if you show someone how to do something, that is not teaching, cretin?

That stretched your peanut brain?

A moronic person brings ONE case, not only is it one case, it is a case still evolving and that is proof that reaction does not lead to change (a point the cretin already conceded earlier)?

Product of a failed education system!

person, can you see you are struggling?

You can show me a lot of things and not be teaching me. If you watch a pilot fly is that teaching you all the necessary skills to fly or don't you actually have to learn on your own at some point?

I've given you two cases dear

Answer the question then. Why has nothing changed regarding gun laws in the US while it did in the UK? If reaction is all it takes. But you wont answer that because that would take actual effort.

So its just evolving now? Not after the other two major shootings in the US in the same year, what an excuse So the situation is evolving in Nigeria too. Is that your excuse as well

What am I struggling about, you haven't said anything thought provoking unless repeating the same thing over and over again counts.

shymexx: You don't even know the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom smh...

I'm not surprised, anyway...

Should I care

[quote author=shymexx]

Perhaps, by American standard - however, NYC is still as violent as ever... NYC will always NYC and with bloods and crips running everywhere from the Bronx, Brooklyn, Harlem to Queens, the future of NY looks bleak... By 2020, 1 in 3 black people in America will have a criminal records and with NYC being one of the places with the highest concentration of black people - NYC and safe should never be in the same sentence...

According to you? Because you are the standard we go by?

I heard you they are still shooting at cops from the roof-tops, no?? NYC is supposed to have gone soft after Daz and Kurupt kicked down all the buildings...

Never heard of that.

I guess my definition of "immediate family" is difficult from yours then... I'm not an illusionist, I do real thing - and I definitely can't classify people I have absolutely no relationship whatsoever with as my immediate family...

You could have said that instead of screaming your head off at me.

Stay deceiving yourself - I don't care if you're "avatar" or a cone-head from planet X... It's the internet, anyone can claim anything they want, however, knowledgeable people should be able to discern who the frauds are..

Well so far you have been wrong on my ethnicity

If blyss is AA, the I'm from planet Nibiru...

I swear to God he is

Enugu is the pride of Igbo and almost all Igbos all this forum are fixated on the thread...

But Idi whatever was in that thread numerous times, is she Igbo too

If you pride yourself in being a knowledge person, then you should about the most widely read business newspaper in the world... Heck, FT have more topics about Africa than Forbes and Economist combined!! It just shows that your knowledge is limited..

Key word business. I'm not a business person beyond my own personal finances, what goes on in China is not of interest to me at this stage in my life, therefore the FT would be of no use to me. I should force myself to read it? Am I being paid.

We're not even at the peak of winter yet... Are you sure you live in America??

Winter here is from December to early February. Winter is not the same for everyone everywhere you know. Or are you going to tell people in Florida they are not in Winter.

And do you know how hot Northern Nigeria is??

Because I've been to Nigeria and also know how to google



Perhaps that's also a reason why people stay indoors in Sokoto as well...

Nah, no one in America(the home of the dumbest and most ignorant people on the planet) is checking for those cities... What do you expect from people who can't name five countries on this planet?? How many Americans know the difference between United Kingdom and Great Britain?? No one cares about Americans, to be honest... Expecting Americans to know anything is like expect a freaking barbie doll to speak...

Foreigners are located mostly in London, outside of London its definitely more white. Am I lying

Nigeria, Kenya, China, Tokyo, and India. 5

United Kingdom includes Ireland, Wales, and etc. Great Britain was the island London is located on.

Barbie dolls do speak

Brooklyn has always been a cesspit ridden with pimps, thugs, mafias, gangsters, and drug dealers!! Most Manhattan workers reside there because it's cheaper to live there...

Not really rent is high in Brooklyn too. Compared to Manhattan its not as bad but its not cheap unless you live in rent controlled housing.
Just like London has been a diseased and crime ridden place home to the Notorious Jack the Ripper

Keep your bootleg SOHO, the real SOHO is where everyone cares about... There's only one SOHO and it's in West End!!

Once again, according to you. International art collectors host shows in "fake" Soho with no problem. Maybe its just you

I don't even like celebrating the British Monarchy thing, however, you'd be surprised that the woman isn't a ceremonial monarch - she's still the head of Canada, Caribbean countries(former British colonies), commonwealth, Australia, New Zealand etc... She's also subtly the head of US of A - go ask Obama!

You have no idea what you are talking about do you? Does the Queen of today have even a tenth of the power Queen Victoria of yore had? Think on that.

Sunny_bobo:

Delta has got a sizeable Igbo poulation and available data tend to support the notion that most of the brightest people from Delta come from the Igbo speaking area ie Anioma.

I don't think that whether the people are Igbo are not matter in the grand scheme of things of this topic. Education in Nigeria is substandard across the board with the North getting the shortest end of the stick.
