Personally, i dont blame anybody that wants to exit Naija. it is a personal choice and its up to individuals.

In the west, there is no malnutrition, and ther is basic infastructure and law and order, sooooooo..... Its hard making a transition in anything. but with time it gets better.

Bottom line is u can make ur money where u feel u want to, be it naija or anywhere. In my own case, i spent the last 10 yrs of my stay in naija dreaming of my exit day, so i guess it boils down to individuals.

Guyz the fundamental problem Nigeria has, and one which confuses people is the mentality that we are only 45 years. Beign 45yrs is not the issue. Take a look at economic development in nigeria in those 45yrs and compare it to other countries in which the British union jack was lowered at about the same time esp the asian countries. When the british left malaysia and then Nigeria, their per capita incomes was about the same, almost exactly the same. If u check economic development of these 2 countries, 1970's would show u nigeria was way ahead . By 2000, nigeria had slided into mediocraty but these asian economies had turned to tigers. IF U LOOK AT THE ECONOMY OF SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA, U WILL SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A STEADY ECONOMIC GROWTH SINCE THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND NOT A DOWNWARD FREE FALL BEIGN EXCUSED BY BEIGN 45YRS. MALAYSIA HAS ONLY BEEN INDEPENDENT FROM BRITAIN FOR ABOUT 47 OR 48 years YET THEY ARE AN INDUSTRALIZED ECONOMY NOW. SINGAPORE IS IN THE SAME LEVEL WITH JAPAN,  USA, GERMANY etc infact, people from Singapore DONT NEED VISA'S to come to the U.S. Y because. the U.S goverment knows they would not want to stay. People from Malaysia do not migrate to western countries simply because their countries economy is very good. They come to the west as TOURISTS


We should ask ourselves these questions

These same countries that are about the same age as Nigeria have recorded steady and unbelievable economic growth over the last 35yrs, y is Nigeria's a case of economic free fall?

Were these same nations not colonized by the british?(in case we want to blame colonalization)

@dablessed. I did not know u were married?, or maybe i felt like that from ur comments on the other forums . Anyway nice story.

Forza Juve
La Vecchia Signora
Campionato lo scudetto

I've been a Juve supporter going on 20 years now!

Damn , another Bianconeri in da house. Anyway

FORZA MILAN

kechy:
Please you guys shouldnt even start talking about the blues/ barca march.
It's going to be a tough one and very interesting to watch. It'll be war.
The Blues might have a chance if the world player and the 2nd runner up to the world player don't play.

i think Chelsea would readilly agree to that deal - exclude ronaldinho and Lampard.

Ultimately, i think the biggest bad news is 4 Man U b/cos an early exit from the champions league (which is what it is going to be) would turn all chelsea's attention to the league and remove any chance of Man u wrestling it from them.

Ralex:
In my own opinion, we can analyse this in two ways.... for the woman; a man with a child could easil be taken in their stride especially if the child in question is not living with him and his upkeep does not make a huge impact on him (Financially, emotional and time-wise).
For the Man; A lady with a child could be looked at in two main ways :- out-of-wedlock or in-wedlock. Most (Should I say immature) men find it difficult to tolerate the either case but would settle for the second faster than the first. (Correct me if an wrong).

For me it would make no difference if she has a child or not. The most important thing is our abillity to understand each other. But i must say she has to be outright with it. No need hiding it as if it is a crime. There is nothing wrong with it. Afterall it is an issue because she decided to keep it if she aborted it "I" might never know so why make a mountain out of a mole hill ??

i love that bro. U just said it all

half my meal is meat, so i dont know what to say

i think they are confusing two things. The bill did not abolish DV lottery. Check the BBC website for the full content of that bill. They suspended enacting the guest worker program, not abolish DV. I think the two are different.

Chxta:
It's been a while since I played into these parts, but I hope that I'll be back for a while (if Seun doesn't annoy me again that is)...

Who the hell is this sage fellow?

Sup. A Rossoneri in da house. All these Bianconeri fans get on my nerves (maybe b/cos i am playerhating there position on the table ). @Chxta r u another juve fan?, i think one is more than enough

i can. Very willingly

WesleyanA:
are you just trying to get attention? or you're just being ignorant?

@ WesleyanA did u not read the later parts of my post. I said it is unfortunate women are seen in that light. When you get older, you would understand what i mean the more. You have been born into a Man's world, and although i dont go by that school of thought, the society u live in defines the role of a woman,and in most places around the world, there are things men are allowed to do women are not. These are not my personal thoughts. As u grow older, u will get to experience a few things. I dont think any man thinks that women are mentally of intellectually more limited than men, but the truth is that those facts not withstanding, the primary attributes men put to women are mainly of a sexual nature.

Regarding Gender equality, i doubt if there will ever be anything like that, maybe empowerment, but not equality.

A guy once used this expression on national tv and if u look at it, there are elements of truth in it. Women will FOREVER be primarily sexual objects and thats the way it is going to alwayz be. Y because the dominant gender sees them and will alwayz see them that way.

Unfortunate though.

missed Viera's posts badly. He is a real guy. Made nairaland a great place with his posts. one of the guyz i missed most and a host of others too. I really enjoyed the nairaland atmosphere during the june and july months. We Love our Mr Admin though.

I wish bolasho, allenpowered, mosiate, tayo, calabarman and a host of them would come back. They actually made me follow nairaland for 2 months before i joined esp tayotina, allen, mamba, Ra, bolasho.

i feel u two really dont know what u r talking about. Dont be suprised to see them in the finals

il put my money on Barca.

What's up Vieira?

Well to the topic:
So Codec u still de talk small true. My Milan u know .

My list of qualifiers goes this way

Barca: I'm pretty sure of this, sorry chelsea

Real Madrid: Arsenal fans sorry, but u guys are already used to it.

Juventus: Codec your team got one of the easiest draws. I envy u guz. wish Milan got that one.

Milan: You guys already know why.

Inter-milan: Ajax no match for them.

Liverpool: I fancy them against Benfica.

Villarreal: what would one of those 2 teams be doing in the q/final? Ridiculous

Lyon: I think they would go far this time

Who makes it to paris? I'll say Milan vs Barca/juve/lyon/ anybody

Codec want to say anything?

Geez:
If my child walks to you and says I'm gay, s/he should walkout and say s/he is not. This is the trash that the west market and it has no bearing on the great Africa land, except few twisted Africans who buy in to the craps being marketed in the west.

I encourage parent to sit their children down as often and as frequently as possible and teach them culture that has value - the African culture. The west just do not know their origin and they have no culture - like rabbits and dogs. It is shame on humanity. You do not have to be a christian or muslim to know this.

This is not about intolerance or hatred, it is about common sense.

I hate it when people refer to westerners in this way. I hate the attitude of 'we africans are better than westerners, and i hate people with that attitude.

is it going to be on NTA?

If any girl is going out with me, then she has to be ready to pay her own bills cos i am not going to pay, unless its my l babe or wife. I dont go by any school of thought that mandates me to pay for somebody who does not do anything 4 me.

c0dec:
FORZA JUVE

hehehe.
Forza Milan. All these Milan playerhaters . Whatz up guyz. We are behind in the scudetto but with the january transfer window, the backline will get all right. If Juve does not win this scudetto, then i don't know what to make of them (am i hating on them ) anyway its not Juve i blame, its my almighty Milan with its shaky defense. its time for Maldini, Stam, Cafu and Costarcuta to be replaced. i am a core Milan fan but i speaketh the truth. ( did i hear Codec laugh )

nferyn:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to justify the lack of maintenance. But even given these problems, flying is still by far the safest mode of transportation.

I agree with you. Nigerian roads are much worse. Thieves, potholes, accident causing damaged cars left on the road for months,........................................ cant continue to name them.

Very sad story.
These kind of accidents will continue to happen as long as we continue to have this 'it is God's will', "God gives,God takes,", in all things Give glory to God".

Can somebody tell me how a plane that almost crashed in its immediate previous flight was allowed to take off with such a non chalent attitude about its condition? Maybe God denied the plane maintenance so that the people will die? If this crash were to happen in the west, so many heads will roll, but in Nigeria we will say 'it is God's will, pray 4 the aviation industry, and then we keep praying till the next time another plane crashes and we repeat the same it was God's will till still another plane crashes.
Its time to stand up and act fellows. By proper maintenance we can cut the air disasters 6 fold.

i dont think i really miss Nigeria. i dont know. maybe my friends and the food, otherwise i dont know what else i am missing
(i am surely not missing the bad roads, insecurityand fear, epileptic power supply, busy bodies and back biters, harder economic stress, disorganization, corpses on the streets for weeks, public executions and beatings, broken down public infastructure, chaos, petrol ques and genral suffer-suffer of the masses etc).

We must stop the attitude of thinking that we can avert incidents like this by our own will power. Just about 4 days ago a plane did crash into an adjourning street of a Chicago airport. Report did confirmed that the plane underwent maintenaince not more than 4 days to the crash day. Does that mean that they don't maintain their stuffs.

Things like this are beyond human comprehension, we can only pray to God to save us from situations like this.

Safety is only in God's hand.

            by Joftech


Yeah prayers help, but that does not cover the fact that we need to overhaul the way our aviation industry is run. IN THE UNITED STATES, THERE ARE MORE THAN 35,000 FLIGHTS DAILY. I mean DAILY. but how many flight crashes do we hear about?
Also steps are taken to prevent two aircrafts from crashing for the same reason. All flights are mandatorily mainted to an established standard.

As humans we have to do our own part and then we can pray for mercy. You cannot have a 35yr old plane that is rumbling in the air and then start praying.

This is really a sad day 4 nigeria and especially the families involved.

Paul commended them 4 verifying the things he had thought and done 4 them. Il be back to give u the correct spelling so i dont spell it wrongly.

This question is funny.

Maybe as long as i dont spend even 1 cent on her. No single kobo of mine will go into it then maybe........ .

Does somebody have anything to say?
