nferyn: You're right. I apologize.

If I had a pepper spray for defense, I wouldn't keep in my bag:
- How does that help me if a thief snatches my handbag first?
- Will an assailant wait for me to take the pepper spray out of my handbag?

About the gun issue: There was a young Nigerian woman in Canada who kept a gun for "protection", and then one day she shot and killed her boyfriend and was charged and convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. A gun is not for defence; it's for killing. And when your killing is not justifiable, you end up in jail. pepper sprays are better.

It's about to rain. I love the rain!

Her assistants can continue her projects. Every public officer has an assistant.

And yes, I think it's too early to be asking this question.

According to a Thisday Newspaper Report, the information in my last post is wrong:  '[i]As a result of complications resulting from the surgery the First Lady had a “massive asthma attack and fell into a coma" from which she did not recover.[/b]'  I guess I misinterpreted the statement "she did not wake up" from my source.

I don't really know what to say about this except that I am shocked.  "Shocked" is the only word that comes to my mind.  Shocked, shocked, shocked.  I would never expect such a thing to happen.  But I know that the Mr. President is going to recover from this.  

Does anyone know the name of her child?

Did you remove the picture?

I don't see you, queen2. All I see is a pretty shadow!

Do I disagree with myself?
No
Yes
No!! 
Look, I don't have time to argue with me today, ...

The Nairalanders I'd want to meet? Everyone. Why? So I can collect your registration fees and smile to the bank.

IAH: I can change your username and post polls for you.

Greatpeter, your thread was moved to the recycle bin because it wasn't well developed.

It would have been funny if I had not seen the explanation before the joke itself!

It is in the best interest of this country for you to stay where you are, work, and send money home from time to time. It's not in your best interest, either, because this country still has some growing up to do.

Take the white man's money and send it to Nigeria.

Then when you reach the apex of your career and you have a lot of money in savings, come back to Nigeria, start a business, and provide jobs for a lot of Nigerians. I think it's unfair that after studying abroad you want to come back here to displace our local graduates (who did not have the opportunity of travelling abroad) from the few well-paying jobs that are available to them.

Stay over there, earn a lot of white man's money, and bring that money home and use it to create jobs for fellow Nigerians. Be a job-creator and not a job-taker!

None of that matters. All that matters is that people think there's a beauty contest and they are having fun!

sweetnini, I wish food into your stomach!

I'm interested! Add me to your list. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to make my opinion count!

Two thoughts:
- Layi has said that he does some 3d modelling
- Why don't you [b]offer some money [/b]for this help you're asking for?

Actually, there are blind people who surf the internet using screen readers. If the Nairaland website is properly constructed, they would be able to participate with minimal problems.

Hmmm .... unfortunately, nobody is unaware of their loved ones' location at this point.

I know that some people will like to say that God was punishing Nigeria because of 11 year old Samuel.

Anyway, for those of you who want to know what went wrong during the operation, I have a more reliable source that says that she just didn't wake up at the end of the operation when the anaesthetic was supposed to wear off. "She didn't wake up" is the exact phrase that was used (coming from a doctor's mouth).

So it has nothing to do with bleaching of her skin at all, ok? They gave her drugs to mak her sleep for the operation, and after the operation they couldn't wake her up. That's all.

THis is the point where I mention that we attended the same school!

You really do need to decide on a topic for this thread! I don't know where to start because your discussion is all over the place!

I don't believe in physical or verbal abuse. I can verbally abuse an enemy but not a friend and certainly not my wife. Ok, back to the topic.

I feel that what the woman wants is not important. If the woman says she doesn't want you to call, well that's bullshit because she's just trying to get away with the bad things she has done.

Sade, you're a gentle soul and this is nice, but if you need to use a tough hand to get what's best for this girl, then do it. I sense that at this point you are eager to wash your hand from this case and forget about it. However, my belief is that what is worth doing is what doing thoroughly so your efforts will not be wasted in the end.

Cheers!

False reports.

HIV/AIDS is what's special about blood.

There's no such thing as not getting another chance. As long as you are alive, you'll get another chance. Most businessmen have failed at one venture or the other and what they do is that they learn from each failed venture. Failure is part of success. Until you die, you can try again and again and again until you succeed.

One trick is that, you create your venture in such a way that out of your 5 million, if things don't work out, you will be able to recover maybe 2.5 million at the end of the day and use it for something. The other trick is to start by talking to your customers and understanding them very well. If you really sit down to understand your customers and give them what they really need/want, then your business is unlikely to fail.

I believe that insurance is for things that are outside your control, like theft, fire, sickness, disability, etc. It doesn't even usually cover "acts of God".

What annoys me the most about disasters like this is when those who have managed to escape the disaster would say things like, "I was going to board the plane but I was late and I missed the plane. Thanks God o".

As if to say that those that perished were all sinners, while those who were lucky to espcape were saints. As if to say that God rewards laziness and lateness but punishes those who are hardworking and prompt.

The first thing to do is to take possible precautions, for road travel for instance. The next thing to do is to make sure that your affairs are always in order in case the unexpected happens, so that those you are leaving behind will not suffer more than necessary. Yes, this means having a will and keeping it up to date.

Too bad that nobody survived, but from the pictures on television nothing survived. I mean, nothing. The outline of the plane is not even recognizable.

Entrepreneurship is all about taking calculated risks, and reaping great rewards if you succeed. I don't see why you would want an insurance company to take your money to "insure" against your own failure. The best insurance, I believe, is proper market research.

I watched it on TV just now. You're right, it seems nobody survived. From the wreckage, you could not

We all, as Greatpeter said, let's prepare to meet our Lord.

I have a better idea: let us learn from our mistakes and be careful so that fewer lives will be lost in the same way in the future. That is better than doing nothing and calling on God to take us home.

tpbm should tell me why this topic has 3171 replies!

I wish the best for the souls of young Samuel, Stella Obasanjo, and the plane crash victims.
