ocelot2006: And yes, under the GEJ administration, we have experienced the revival of our once dilapidated rail networks. The trains are up and running (though slow), and more lines are currently being constructed as we speak.


And finally roads. If there is one area that sets GEJ higher than his predecessor s (both military and civilian) it is the repairs of our major highways long abandoned and the construction of new roads. And as a frequent traveller, I can personally attest to that. Is it the long abandoned Jalingo-Wukari road, Otukpo road that once caused me to rain insults on David Mark, Abakiliki-Ogoja-Cameroun road, Ogoja Ikom road, Jalingo-Numan/Yola (a main transport artery to the core north-east region), or the once dreaded Okigwe-Umuahia-Aba-PHC road? GEJ has fixed them all.

Are you telling me the rail line reconstruction started under Jonathan?

Please enlighten me on how the federal road in Nigeria is at the moment.

I wait. I will dedicate this glorious morning to you.

ocelot2006: I may not support the comparison between GEJ and Madiba, but your post on GEJ is TOTALLY wrong.

GEJ is SOLELY responsible for the agricultural revolution that we currently experience, making the sector a major source of foreign exchange after petroleum. Hell, even our bright Agricultural Minister was just named FORBES MAN OF THE YEAR.

Yes, GEJ is responsible for the reforms in the power sector. OBJ may have initiated the construction of a number of new power stations (kudos to him), but who is responsible for the completion and expansion of same projects, the building of additional power statiins, tthe repair of existing transmission facilities, building of new transmission lines, substations, and the distribution of transformers across the federation? who was also responsible for the Gas Revolution that saw the construction of new gas pipelines, thus resolving the issue of gas supply to these stations? Thats right, GEJ.

NO!

Our diversification leading to the development of the Agricultural sector has been a policy BEFORE Jonathan and has been taking effect BEFORE Jonathan.

Our brilliant Agricultural Minister has done well while Jonathan is busy looting and protecting criminals that are stealing money budgeted for the development of Nigeria and which could have gone into the agricultural sector. If the minister wanted to loot instead of doing his job, Jonathan would not give a fck and would protect him. So the development is IN SPITE of Jonathan.

Hence Jonathan is not responsible for any agricultural revolution.

Please tell me hour many megawatts of electricity Nigeria produces at the moment.

Carsonv: Karma is like an Operational Amplifier.

It amplifies what you give it and outputs it as effect. If you plant a grain of corn, you a whole cub/ear(whichever one). So when you sleep with someone's wife don't just expect your wife to be slept with. No! Multiply the input by some arbitrary number K(usually very huge)...that's what you get as effect.

Some ppl want to believe that when they sow good seeds they'll reap good and then avoid believing that bad seed would generate bad fruit.

E.g. If u sleep with someone's wife, the result may look like this: you won't get married, your business or income source crashes, you contract some terminal disease, nothing works for u, no more progress...one spot every year, your children will be wayward, your car will get accident, your wife will die etc. The list is endless.

My dear nairalanders, whether it be adultery or any other evil/sin, avoid it like plague cos karma is sitting beside you with constant K.

What a dumb person!

Eeja Nla01: Sagamite how do you answer na?

I would love to share the answer but unfortunately I can't because it might severely compromise my anonymity if any girl I have encountered is reading.

Lets just say it is good to be a comedian that can create a joke out of things.

After that, if she asks again another time, I know the fish is DEFINITELY on the hook and wants to be reeled in.

tashan: [sub][/sub]

@sagamite,you need to understand the Nigerian psyche. Religion, cultural beliefs, the "deep" African belief in mystical powers makes it impossible to apply sound intellectual judgement or more correctly deductive logic to the average Nigerian. Else why are there so many gullible people around, fleeced daily by.........,,,

So bleeping well said!

They just amaze me.

I sit down and think "how can people be this dumb".

[quote author=yanni.]1. A woman will get closer to you in proximity.
You may even get the feeling she is hovering
around you or trying to eavesdropping on your
conversations.

2. She will keep making eye contact with... then
quickly she will look away.

3. She will smile at you. This will be a genuine
"slow smile" not a nervous or forced smile.

4. She'll find reasons to talk to you.

5. She'll be the first to ask your name... or other
personal questions about you.

6. She will give you a flirtatious nickname. (this
is a powerful flirting sign)

7. She'll attempt to find out how old you are or
if you're single.

8. She'll be lightly touching you during a
conversation

9. She will move closer to you as the two of you
are talking

10. She will be laughing at all of your jokes...
even the unfunny ones (another powerful flirting
sign)
11. She'll come up with future plans. For
instance, she'll mention a band that she wants you
to see.

12. She'll send you random text messages

13. You will be able to sense a jealousy when you
talk about other girls.

14. She'll be eager to introduce you to her
friends.

15. She'll tease you about something

16. She calls you a "player" or "heartbreaker"

18. She plays with or tosses her hair as she is
talking to you

19. She compliments you a lot

20. She tries to keep the conversation going so

When you've got a woman really attracted to
you, you will be noticing quite a few of these
signs.

Author: Bobby Rio...sent to my mailbox. Thats all the source i gat.[/quote]Yep. Good list.

I have had all except maybe No 6.

No 17 is the most frequent one for me. And I am a pro at answering.

gothrones: ^
I will give you a typical Nigerian answer: God's time is the best. Someday, everything will be alright.

Yep. That is typical!

gothrones: Sagamite, abeg forget that one jor. If one concentrates on the copious amount of grammatical errors on this site, one may be forced to commit suicide. I simply focus on the content. Life is far easier that way. Unfortunately, these are the folks who will be running our country in the future.

I was not even talking about grammar.

I was talking about ability to reason and make deductions.

Which kind of institution produces "graduates" that believe your wife will cheat on you solely because you slept with another man's wife?

Nollywood University?

The paucity of logical reasoning in the average Nigerian is mind blowing!

When some white people call some blacks monkeys, it is in reality a deep and offensive insult to monkeys. Some real, natural monkeys are far higher up the intellectual totem pole.

ROSSIKE: Yes, he is our Mandela. You don't need to be jailed for 27 years to be a 'Mandela'. Which other Nigerian president has expanded agriculture, fixed the railway, remodelled 22 airports, repaired thousands of miles of federal roads, transformed the power sector, banking sector, telecoms, construction etc, all within a space of 2 years? He is even better than Mandela sef.

You are a pure person!

You really need to check yourself into a decent mental health facility.

Which railway did Jonathan fix? Which roads did he repair? How as he transformed the power sector, banking blah blah blah, person!

All the things you listed cretinously are projects started before the cretin you have as President and which the cretin has not done anything significant about to get any credit.

Even the Agricultural sector development is inspite of Jonathan, not because of Jonathan.

Moooron!

And we needed South Africa to send people to come and save the "Giant of Africa".

Giant of Africa my bleeping arsee.

In future, I expect Ghana to help save us considering they are closer, no more need for the real Giant of Africa to come to our rescue.

reganvida: I have heard people warn young men that they shouldnt try in their life to sleep with another man's wife because if he gets married another person will do same to his wife.
My question is, does karma cause the guy to marry a loose wife so that another guy can do same to him? or will karma make a good wife he married loose so that he will get same treatment?

And our high institutions would claim they are producing "graduates"?

Johnpaul88: Laughable!

Thanks for your concern! But I'll be fine. No one is gonna lynch me.
U sure sound very ridiculous. Don't you? You talk of lynching as though you do that everyday to gays? Why would any body or group of bodies wanna kill someone who pose no danger to them in no way at all? That's insane & barbarious!

Btw covering doesn't change anything. Having sex with Ladies cannot change me to straight. Nothing can! I'll never enjoy it as much .

Just don't carry your filth to the streets of Nigeria otherwise you will know what lynching is.

So, as the guy said, maintain your cover.

Toyinletstalk: Sagamite, all your questions have been answered already. But let me make it clearer.You can choose love and still maintain your relationship with your friends and family, depending on the "circumstances" that surrounds it.
If you leave your wife does not necessarily mean you have abandoned your kids, you can still maintain a healthy relationship with your kids, the new wife or bride is still "the other woman". Though, I have a very close friend whose husband left her and also abandoned his kids.

No, you had not answered my questions.

Now you just woke up and answered the first part.

Great.

Toyinletstalk: True love has a permanent feelings to it. It cannot die. I don't know of the type of love you are referring to though, for me, true love is real and forever.

Choosing to ignore how you feel is totally up to the person in question. If the feelings of your wife and kids matter, ignore it because they truly will not understand.

True love is permanent?

So it is logical to conclude, you believe any love that is not permanent is not true love.

So love is not a conditional response? I take it that if the man you love starts battering you, you are the type that will stay because you love him? Or if the man you love cheats on you a few times, you will stay with him because you love him? And if you do decide to leave him, you will never love any other man because your feeling is permanently with your ex?

Still more information that adds to the bewilderment.

beryl04: really shallow ! I know what u are up about and ur pretenses doesn't preclude d fact that ur a closet homosexual.keep living in denial and continue spewing ur ignorance for what else cud a monkey like u do. Really, u can take an ape to d zoo, even domesticate it but it is still what it is;an ape.that's why ur long sojourn in London has not been able to change u.and u come up here brandishing ur fake intellectual vibe while ur just what u are , a hood rat.

Moronic and deviant person, I will never be as sick as you.

Disgusting sicko!

Toyinletstalk: Sorry had to go back to bed. Where were we??

Formed up scenario? You and I know that such exist, and truly relationshps and problems encountered are unique to the individuals involved. So it is not a scenerio for all. That particular one, came from a lady, and I used that as an example.

Permanency Marraige is a permanent thing whether we agree on that or not. The heart chooses whoever and you cannot change it. Better to be with who your heart chooses.

When married and the feelings come, especially for another, ignore and discipline yourself. Ones integrity should be seen through our actions and the decisions we make. So yes, ignore.

Where did I say the scenario did not exist?

I think you are struggling to understand the strands that come up in a complex debate and it is overwhelming you. How old are you?

Marriage is a permanency?

Lets park that for now because it was not even what I asked you.

Lets start over again. I will repeat the questions. Read carefully and take time to comprehend them:

So you cannot choose love and still maintain a relationship with friends and family you want to maintain a relationship with (e.g. your kids)? You cannot leave your partner and still love or be connected to your kids? It has to be fatalistic? "If you leave your wife, you are abandoning your kids"?

Are you saying love is a permanency? When it comes, it should be ignored?

beryl04: Imbecilic comments coming from this m. Oron.he's graduated to 'AIDS-infected nonsense'
One doesn't need glasses to see u are daft and lack sound logical reasoning.really,the only reason we still entertain u is for d amusement.so go on and make us laugh,black monkey feeling funky.
I've asked u b4,when are u gonna leave that your toilet cleaning job and come back to ur naija haven?surely, the fumes from those toilets is damaging some of your brain cells.

You are a pure person.

How can a fagggot understand logic when there is a lesion on the brain?

Johnpaul88: Don't mind haters, honey ! Let's hook up . But i'm not up to 30. I'm sure it won't matter anywayz

AIDS-fest.

Johnpaul88: Guy your mind is just as arid as a desert. Don't you bother to improve it?

This is coming from a person that thinks his AIDS-infected deviant ally's conjecture is sense?

Cretinous person!

beryl04: Trust me dude,there's no gainsaying who d real slowpoke is here.ur arguments are as daft as that of any commoner on d streets of lagos.

You are a person!

An AIDS-infected dimwit cannot know what a good argument is.

Johnpaul88: Ogbeni if you have an opinion, just say jare

I don't exchange opinions with fucktards. There brain is not strong enough to process it.

If you were not a person, you would have noticed that trait.

Johnpaul88: I find nothing unsound about that argument. Infact with the pace of backwardness that is fast gaining ground in Nigeria & in extension, Africa, that is the only outcome.

That is why I have no doubt you are a person!

Toyinletstalk: Lol...you crack me up. It depends on how you see it. I have never seen a marraige where the man or woman gets up one day and says to the other spouse, "I am sorry, I don't love you anymore, the love I feel or felt has ended". And what will follow will be a pat on the back with kids giving that partner a hug and kiss for making a wonderful statement.There could be resolved differences, later on though, but at that moment, No! It won't be amicable. No matter what happens, a division already exist.

In the event that who you fall inlove with is a friend's girlfriend, No, it won't be funny because you will have to choose who you really want to be with, your friend or your girl or the family. Either way, you will still have to make a choice.

Wow!

I am amazed the way you decided to use your formed up specific scenario description as a general representation and then still not answer my questions.

So you cannot choose love and still maintain a relationship with friends and family you want to maintain a relationship with (e.g. your kids)? You cannot leave your partner and still love or be connected to your kids? It has to be fatalistic? "If you leave your wife, you are abandoning your kids"?

Toyinletstalk: Love comes at different times in one's life, it is not something we expect, it just happens, majority of the times, we do not recognize it, and by the time we do, it is usually too late, either one is already married or they are worlds apart.

So is it a permanency?

When it comes, it should be ignored?

rhames: Did that slowpoke said white people should manage airlines in Nigeria? OK tell me how the indians Dana Air to be precise killed many Nigerians with A Faulty jet.Idiot.[b][/b]

person, is it the moronic failed education institutions that taught you your grammar highlighted in red that also taught you that Indians are whites?

Johnpaul88: If you do not understand what she wrote, why not look away? She made some intelligent points, yet you call her a mental patient?

You must accept that you cannot compete with her in terms of presenting a sound argument, with sufficient all- round articulation. You have been playing catch up ever since this argument started, yet you some how manage to come back to call people 'person'. Pray, is that all you learnt in your UK ? I fear

You are a person!

In your AIDS-infested world, mental patient-formulated conjectures are sound arguments.

"Having a pet will soon be considered illegal in Africa because it promotes bestiality": AIDS-brain declares "That is a sound argument and an intelligent point"!

Pure person!

Toyinletstalk: Saga open up your heart. When majority of people go into marriage for whatever reason, the guy and the lady happily agreed to "stay together" against all odds, and whether we like to believe it or not, love existed.

In a "marital union", you can't just pack your bags and leave because you have finally found who you think you are now "inlove" with. That search should have been done before now, or rather the waiting (which majority of people lack the patience to).

Some people have done it, it is nothing new, but not really advice -able. The kids and their emotions should be thought of. True Love sometimes, involves sacrifices, and such sacrifice can come in different forms, you can sacrifice your friendship to be with the one you love or your family to be with the one you love, or sacrifice the
love to be with your friends and family. The choice is totally ours to make.

There has been no point where I said love did not or cannot exist prior to getting married. What I have been asking you is what to do when it dies and is replaced.

You said that search should have been done before? Are you saying love is a permanency?

It is not transient and/or evanescent?

So you cannot choose love and still maintain a relationship with friends and family you want to maintain a relationship with (e.g. your kids)? You cannot leave your partner and still love or be connected to your kids? It has to be fatalistic? "If you leave your wife, you are abandoning your kids"? Are you selling me a "real man" capsule pill?

Toyinletstalk: You see it that way. But, marraige is a different ball game that is why it is important to really look before you leap. Before you say " I do", marry who you love or are inlove with. After you say " I do" to another person entirely, respect the vow you have made and stay true to it, you have lives that could and would be impacted due to any irrational decision.

You still have not said anything.

You argue it is important we marry who we love?

And then follow it up that we should endeavour staying married to someone we don't love any more?

So after you marry, love is irrelevant anymore, it is respecting a vow that matters? Your own life and happiness is not important anymore, it is the life and happiness of others that matters?

lynk106: yes it is possible to choose to love more than one person at a time. Have you ever heard of something called polygamous marriage?
But if you're in a monogamous marriage (you made a vow to love one single person) yet you go on to love someone else outside, then that is immoral. Get a divorce from your wife first so that you do no break your vow. Otherwise, go and have a polygamous marriage where you are free to love multiple women.
Through its institutions (marriage), society may ban women from loving multiple men legally. because most societal rules are created by men. hence why a polygamous marriage is tolerable and polyandrous marriages are not in many countries. Heck gay marriages are not tolerated in many countries either. Marriage is just societal institutions and the rules are set by whoever is in power. ex. in China, each family can only have one child (one child policy) per family etc. all these are institutional rules set by those in power.

love does not equal marriage. so you using the phrase "love/marriage" and equating them is ridiculous.
love is an action. marriage is an institution.

ex. love is to marriage what knowledge is to academia.
just because you have a marriage certificate doesn't mean you love your wife. Just because you have a school certificate or diploma doesn't mean you are educated or knowledgeable and vice versa. You can cheat in your marriage or have kids outside just the same way you can cheat on your school exams. hence why getting a divorce certificate is a legal process where you have to prove that you or the other party broke the marriage vow (unless you are using a no-fault divorce that is mutually consented to) etc.
Institutions are needed for civilization to exist in society. Otherwise, we will all be living wildly like animals. living lustfully, having 10 kids by 10 different women etc (Sagamite for example belongs in a jungle with animals of his kind). society will ultimately cease to exist.

person poof, so your AIDS-infested brain knows institutions are required to make us sane and live civilised, but yet you advocate we corrupt our institutions by advocating deviants are included?

Toyinletstalk: Sadly, marraige is not the "opt-in and opt-out" thingy. It is important that we all marry who we truely love. In the advent that you acknowledge that you are inlove with someone else, respect your marriage and put that feeling under serious control. It is better to call in the help of God. Because, real and true love has this pull and push effect where you want to be with the one you love at all cost.

Truthfully, your marriage and immediate family comes first, the union is already blessed by God. At that time seeing your present spouse as a reflection of the one you love outside will help immensely with how you feel for him or her (especially, since we all are ONE). You can't help it. The heart loves who it loves. But you can control it. It takes serious discipline.

What a paradoxical argument you make.

You argue it is important we marry who we love?

And then follow it up that we should endeavour staying married to someone we don't love any more?

See gobe!

can't wait till a fews decades from now when we will be discussing animal rights. hahahaha
Africa is always 100yrs behind the rest of the world.

goodluck to families who decide to have pets instead of breeding a plethora of children. I remember my oyinbo classmate who was mourning d death of his dog pet of 12yrs. he would probably be stoned to death in naija for bestiality. LOL

mark my words, this will be the big debate in a few decades (or less) to come. pet owning families in Africa will be persecuted.

You really are a pure unadulterated person!

You frequently speak not even off tangent but by creating a new level of gibberish.

You are not only a poof, you sure are a mental patient.

jay bee: You are bang on point bro (as always).

They did some consultancy work for us recently and what you described above is exactly how we felt once they left the building.

I actually did quite a lot of analyses for these guys. They are so damn rude.... Geeez

I am surprised they were damn rude because they are usually better trained than that.

Maybe that was a junior and recent hire that had his head up his arsse.

They are trained to learn get as much people on side with them and to aim to operate laconically with majority of client staff that are not their direct senior client contacts.

The ones that were rude to you can be out of the door if anyone ever found out.
