Slyr0x: 1. Click on Yahoo's Forgot My Password feature >> Yahoo asks for your phone number (one of the security options you opted for) >> You put in the phone number >> Yahoo sends you a verification code or they call you >> You type in the 6characters verification code and voila. .you are in.

2. For the Domain Name Registrar, that part is quite simple. The only email account connected to them is the hacked one. So basically, the forgot my password feature comes to play again. Request for a new password and a link gets sent to your mail.

Since when did Yahoo begin to accept Nigerian phone numbers in its password recovery page?

Who arrested him? Lagos State police command or Oyo State police command? And this is what passes for professional reportage in Punch newsroom?

There are obviously more Nigerian male drivers on the road but Nigerian women give significantly higher percentage of fender benders.

Also the way they behave on the road makes me want to out-aggressive them everytime. The way they look and hiss at you at the slightest manoeuvre can be just as obnoxious.

In a nutshell: Nigerian women are poorest of all drivers.


Saudi Arabian women are better (at least they don't drive). I use Nigerian women as a case in point for a reason.

Apparently, it seems like no single Nairalander understands the magnitude of the offence the young lady has committed and the consequences thereof. Going by the comments so far, that is.


Pathetic, much?

esere826: @Op

I am not a fan of Pius' style of essays
However, this one strikes me by its subtle but stinging depth

It reminds me of how Sarah Palin who desired to be US vice president had held the belief in her more than 40 years of existence that Africa was a country.

It becomes troubling to me when even locals allow their minds to be shaped by
Western narratives that narrow Africa into a seamless cultural and economical unit perpetually pointing southward in all indices

Was that a parody? Or you're indeed so gullible as to believe a ridiculous fallacy circulating through the far left blogosphere?

You probably believe she said she could see Russia from her backyard, too? You know, that Tina Fey's comic on Saturday Night Live that some of your ilk have been attributing to Sarah?


You believe Sarah Palin, a former governor of Alaska, never knew Africa was a continent until 2008? And you want us to take you serious? Yawn!.

Let's hope folks who have an idea of it reply to this read.

We must be careful with the way we judge cases on the pages of newspapers.



To believe that the children of the late professor swiftly, and easily, confessed to killing their father is to assume the our police personnels are professional investigators.


The academia could have been murdered by one of his friends or enemies and frame the stubborn children up with the police to finish the job.
I am not saying this is the case, but it's no more wrong than the police shielding the supposedly confessed killer from the press is wrong.


The children were tortured, our policemen are ruthless torturers. I have seen like 5 different cases where the police tortured folks to confess to what they didn't do. Too many Nigerians assume the police is bad strictly on the bases of bribery and racketeering. Not really, these folks are well suited in their dark cloths, a good chunk of them are closer to animals than they are humans. I have never experienced their cruelty, but I've witnessed the injustice done to close associates of mine.


May the soul of the late professor Rest in Peace. The ghost of the late statesman will hunt his killer to their grave. Let's hope the judiciary is able to get this nerve-wrecking case meticulously resolved. But, in the interim, I'll urge Nigerians to be careful because, if anything, history taught us that not everything are what they seem. Which is even more accurate in the case of Nigerian Police.

Tolexander: bye to the woman that has ever held the highest post in the history of USA.

Have you ever heard of Madeleine Albright or Condoleeza Rice?

Red-Light:
nonsense .... what if the smoke is from exhaust pipe or freezer nko

What do you think happens inside a vehicle cylinder?

"Arriving at the gate leading to the centre, it was
under lock and key, with over grown weeds and
pockets of new buildings under construction."

The above describes precisely what I witnessed the day I curiously drove towards the shrine to witness what's in there.


But I just called an elderly man, a retired auditor with Ogun State Government, who confirmed that he's been to the shrine at least 5 times with his first being in 1968.

I told him it's a very delicate issue that has to do with the sustenance of my job and he said I should go ahead and take his word for it.

He said cobwebs covered the woman's tomb, apparently to protect leaves from falling directly on it. And there are grown trees surrounding the place.

He was very emphatic and spoke with convictions.


So one can only hope the state government renovates and open the place for tourism.

Symphony007: Along with the countries like the cayman islands, bermuda nad others. Switzerland is a massive secretive, highly skilled tax shelter. And avenue for staching of stolen money. Infact that is one of the major means of revenue of the swiss, that's why they are not in the e.u!! Guys like mitt romney are regular customers.

Mitt Romney is a regular customer but not Susan Rice, not George Zoros, not Bill Richardson, not Chuck Schumer, not Charlie Rangel, not William Jefferson.

You're obviously beyond help.

Don Tim: any update abt his condition n finance ?

The doctors say he must be discharged since his precarious health situation is going to be permanent, I mean the kidney ailment has no cure and no transplant in sight. So he'll need to shuttle LUTH twice a week for dialysis. This was on, ahem, Sunday.

I was at LUTH with Miranda for several hours Wednesday and they refused to discharge him because he's owning two blood donations.

So we're most likely returning there today to find out if my blood supply is enough to donate so I can donate one and we'll need to look for someone else to donate the other.

Nairalanders and other folks are trying their best with the donation. But, sincerely speaking, the financial resources is still inchoate.

The help folks have sent has been helping and may God continue to bless their pockets as they continue to spare whatever they can. Money for each dialysis appointment ranges between N40-45,000 on average. To survive, the boy needs miracle now more than ever, if you know what I mean.

Thank you.

temi777: Guys I really appreciate the fact that we Nigerians are doing more of this.
I tried to send 5000 naira but GTBank said end of day process is running.
I will send it tomorrow asap.
God bless you all

Thanks! May the Lord Almighty be with you and yours. Amen!

I was chatting with a friend the other day and he said he just got a new ride. I asked what make and he simply quiped: "na muzzle". I had to ask him to be specific before he could type Toyota Camry, 2008.

Honda Accord 1998: Baby Boy
Toyota Camry 1998: Pencil
Toyota Camry 1999: Tiny Light.
Mazda 626 Hatch Back: Mazda Booth.
Honda Accord 2003-5, 2006 and 2007-8: End of Discussion, Discussion Continues and Evil Spirit.

Of course, I've only managed to list but a few.

Please who's naming all these cars? Where do these pseudonyms typically originate from?


Thank you!

Okija_juju: No be small huh!!

Why not we set a target, meet it and then send it to him... I am not in that business of directly crediting his account!!

You may need to peruse the story from the first page in order to get a luminous understanding of why we're soliciting that the money be paid into the boy's account.


I was even more sceptical until I got to LUTH Sunday.


Thanks!

OAM4J: [b]As promised, TeHN sent representatives to Luth and we spoke to the sister in charge of his ward :

Emmanuel has a heart disease that has affected the kidney. She couldn't be more specific than that.

He has had 1 dialysis at the rate of 5000NGN and likely to have more.aside the 5K he paid a miscellaneous amount for other stuff needed for the dialysis.

He has paid his outstanding bill of 27,400(17,400 admission fee and 10,000 for the pharmacy which he paid yesterday).this excludes money for the drugs they bought/buy outside the hospital.

The hospital would give him the final bill on checking out/discharging him and according to the nursing sister and it would be between the range of 300,000 to 500,000 NGN, all things being equal.

We didn't take pictures, he's a young boy and deserves a little privacy.

Unfortunately, Tehn won't be able to accept donations through our accounts for Emmanuel as we planned earlier because our team members in charge of paypal donations are currently in Nigeria and cannot access paypal from Nigeria.

We regret the inconvenience this might cause and enjoin everyone to donate directly to Emmanuels account.

May God bless us all and heal Emmanuel.

Regards,

TeHN.[/b]

Kindly help us move this story back up the front page. That's perhaps the most pertinent way Nairaland Charity Team could help.

Thanks!

I was at LUTH after church service today and I met Miranda and the young man with the kidney ailment. His picture's been uploaded with this message.

Little helps, God bless.

I called the line provided and the lady on the other end told me where the young man is lying inside LUTH. I'll try to make it there ASAP to see if there's any discrepancy and report back to Nairalanders.

Please call Miranda, 07033582485, to get Mr. Odutola's specific ward in LUTH.

Little helps, God bless.

free2ryhme: pls help ask the author of this article if she is a runs girl. if yes then y is she not yet married and if not y is she a virgin. abi she nvr get opportunity

You miss road?

MrRock has changed the dimension of the whole story.

FXKing2012: This Chibuzor Eze guy does not know he has finished himself. Imagine wat happens when he applies for visa, seek an elective office, seek govt appointment, apply for contract, apply for a job (cos his biz is ruined), etc etc: they do a background check on him and booooooom they find his name all over the internet as a scammer.

The above is assuming Chibuzor Eze is actually using his real name. Considering how meticulous fraudsters can be, I wouldn't take that to the bank.

And, while the hunt for Chibuzor Eze continues, Mr. Isaac should let me know if he doesn't mind taking reimbursement from me for his lost money and stress in the interim.

Cheap scams like this begets heavier ones. Hence the reason we must not allow it to stand. Odious, so odious.

ujukala: Who else but him?

Not quite so if you ask me. The Pakistani girl, Malala Yousafzai, should have walked away easily with this award. But that would leave the American Left (a.k.a the media) with little or nothing to gush over about TIME's pick this year.

The girl and her colleagues should have easily walked away with the price after being shortlisted head to head against Obama. Most of those that voted gave it to the girl but TIME's Richard Steingel ostensibly imposed his choice on both the editors and contributors. Reminiscence of when Obama was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for not actually having worked to promote peace, precisely in anticipation thereof, as against those who'd actually worked for peace that year. Good grief.

Repeating Obama as the man of the year just because he managed to win a reelection with far lesser votes, despite conspicuous media malfeasance, than when he was first elected highlights how journalists have been an accomplice in the gradual destruction of social order.

While the pundits are still in shock and babbling about what just happened at the Supreme Court, we do know this much:

The Supreme Court has just ruled that our government can blatantly lie to us about their ability to tax -- as long as they end up calling it a tax in the end. They can do that with the Court's blessing in fact. Moreover, the government can now tax what we do or do not do as well as income. As Andrew Napolitano said on Fox News, his libertarian fervor barely under control, this is no doubt "the most bizarre tax in history" and allows our government to "tax us not on income, but on behavior."

As Mark Levin reiterated last night on his radio show, ObamaCare "fundamentally changes the relationship between a citizen and his government." Indeed. We cease to be citizens. We become line item expenses.

In a technical sense, this was an initial defeat for ObamaCare and the individual mandate because the government's ability to compel commerce was struck down. That's when John Roberts - ignoring the real lesson of Solomon's' threat to cut the baby in half - rushed in to save the mandate by saying that the government could accomplish the same thing by simply calling this a tax.

In other words, according to Roberts, not only are we line items, we are nothing more than schlubs and Roberts encourages our government to lie to us to make sure we don't get out of control.

In other words, Kathleen Sebelius will need a little more help from the IRS than they had originally thought. Meanwhile, we all just suffered at least a short-term defeat to the very concept of limited government and liberty since Sebelius and the IRS as well as her army of bureaucrats in the Jurassic HHS Department just gained more of a foot hold in our lives.

This will no doubt set up a real showdown between the House and the White House over ObamaCare between now and the election. At this point, how this plays out in a political sense is unknown but there is one thing for sure: the best chance of today's insane ruling working out well in the end is for the GOP members of the House and for Team Romney to come out hard and aggressive.

This ruling is awful. This bill is awful. It will end America as we know it and therefore it must be defeated and soundly. And it will likely be fought on the very nature of what a mandate is.

When there are several people on Nairaland with little to no knowledge of how the UAV works or its history of inaccuracies, then you know where in even deeper whole than one might have thought heretofore.

We don't want a drone in Nigeria, it would work just the same way it's working now in Kandahar, Swat Valley and Yemen. That is, killing several thousands of citizens with few terrorist juggernauts but no arrest for proper intelligence gathering that could actually make an impact.

President Bush minimized the use of drones because he knew it would mostly shed the blood of the innocents, the emphasis of his National Security cabinet was focused on arresting the Warlords, that was how he captured KSM, Mehsud, Massaoui, Bin Laden's driver and countless others.

Although Obama condemned Bush for using unmanned drones "for summary killings" and called the Guantanamo Bay operations "unpatriotic and embarrassing to American values" at the time.

Today, Obama has quadruple the use of drones for straight assassination of suspected terrorists, he even ordered the assassination of an American citizens, Anwar Al Awlaki and another man from Alabama with AQAP in Somalia whom I've forgotten his name, an event unprecendented, even unconstitutional, in American history. Guantanamo Bay is still opened. Renditions still on the table at the Pentagon. According to the latest book by New York Times' David Sanger, Obama now keeps a "kill list" in which he just point and kill alleged terrorists even though their capture could have helped more in efforts to root them out.


So Bush waterboarding high valued terrorists like KSM is "unpatriotic, embarrassing". But Obama actually ordering their assassination, alongside their family member or anyone that might be close by when they strike, without trial is honky dory. Yeah! Right!


My point: in as much as there's no denial in the magnitude of both immediate and perpetual threat Boko Haram posses against our Republic, I must note that allowing the US drones on our skies would disintegrate the country. Some people want it disintegrated anyway, but shouldn't we tread carefully to avoid Civil War?

Do we need help from a sophisticated military power like the United States? Absolutely. But counter terrorism nerds and cutting edge weapons are all that is needed right now. Not a drone. No.

In 2009, bowing to political correctness, Obama ordered the State and Defence Departments never to use such terms as "Jihad", "Islamic fundamentalist" or "Jihadists" and they've since tailored their response to terrorism towards that goal. That's why despite all calls from the Hill from senators like Scott Brown and John Kerry to list Boko Haram as a terror group, the Obama administration has continued to obfuscate all chances of achieving this. Other than a belated listing of 3 of its members as terrorists which is tantamount to throwing a bone to the dog. What a pity.

If we need help at being ruthless against Boko Haram, methinks we should contact Russia for support. The Russians will render expedient help while obscuring media scrutiny and diversions. US, UK and the entire West no longer fight a war, they're saddled with political correctness and mainstream media eye popping headlines.

Let all of us in Lagos and others across the land just continue to speak out passionately thus the NASS and those surrounding the POTFRON can find their bearing ASAP, because looking at Mr. Jonathan's predictable, and often risible, response to every attack, it's ostensible that the man, himself, is beyond help.

With subsidized groceries prices back in 1992/93, it was absolutely ostensible that Mr. Abiola tried, and succeeded, in seducing Nigerians to vote for him. It was the climax of money politics unprecedented in the history of our Republic. Then he went ahead to declare himself POTFRON without deference to the chief electoral officer, albeit a coward, but doesn't matter. He should have exercise patience. It was nothing shut of treason. More reason why the June 12 is much of a tribal affair as anything else in the country since Civil War.

From his absolute fraud in the private sector, see: Abiola, ITT affair, circa 1970s, to his hanky panky in religious politics, MKO Abiola was a poster child for everything that is wrong with Nigeria, even till today.

I'm not trying to exonerate General Babangida, whom I believe deserve even a worse fate than Abiola, but so be it if some people think I am. My position against Abiola is bound to becloud the rational judgement a lot of people would have otherwise made, anyway. I am as Yoruba as anyone can possibly be.

June 12, 1993, a day that would forever live in infamy, for Nigerians.

"The security agencies, he disclosed, gave him serialised dollar bills for the sting job and there are call logs, video and audio recordings in the possession of the agencies to confirm all that had transpired between himself and Lawan."

This is a classic mumbo jumbo. Farouk Lawan is not just your average politician, he's above par in brilliance. I'm not sure if Otedola and ThisDay knows with whom they're toying.

Do I trust Rep. Lawan will never soil his hand in corruption? Absolutely not. He's a politician, he'll be foolish if he's not corrupt. Given Nigerian standard that is.

My point: this is too cheap an allegation to nail a sagacious persona, Otedola should walk back the statement and re strategize.

A thorough search on Agence France Presse website returned no result for this tear gas firing report. I ran the search because I was present at the crash site till 1:30 PM this Monday. The military personnel almost cause stampede while charging towards the crowds apparently to disperse them. But there was no tear gas fired. I was standing at the top of a beleaguered neighborhood building overlooking the Julius Berger earth moving equipments clearing debris.

Seun seems to be a quiet man. Which is the way brilliant and filled people always are.

I tweeted this Monday: Bunch of Sandmonkey wannabees mustered in downtown Abuja hobnobbing with the politicos. Pictures why the Occupy movement failed? #NGNewMedia

I still stand by my tweet.
