₦airaland Forum

Interesting story, and I'd like to hear more about it!

Hello Jewel,

Welcome to Nairaland. Hope you really enjoy your stay here! I'd like to encourage you to complete your profile today.

Seun.

Why don't you ladies introduce the rest of us to this delightful world of Apala music?

Obviously, yes. Thumbs up to all the female sports analysts on the Nairaland Forum!

Though I'm finding it a bit difficult to understand Nigeria's role in this (we don't manufacture mobile phones!) I understand that, as a member of this community, you have the right to post about any issue that affects you. I hope you found Layi's advice useful!

I love that perspective, because in this case it suits us: the government is always in control, because they have the military to enforce the wishes of the people. Foreign investors are welcome as long as they plan to spend and re-invest their wealth within the country. If they are here to effectively take capital out of the country, then that would be a problem.

Hello chimummy,

Welcome to Nairaland! Please go ahead and post your picture because this place can be as interesting as you want it to be. Nairaland is a function of the input of each member so the more we put into it the more we gain. This is a heavenly equation!

Seun.

Good advice from everybody. I'm glad that sexylady1 has decided to take a step in the right direction.

To those lovely people whose posts have disappeared: Let us make sure we read earlier replies before adding our own comments, so we don't upset sexylady1 or other posters. Thanks for your understanding.

The faces on the note are Alhaji Aliyu Mai - Bornu and Dr Clement Isong. Note: Clement Isong seems to be an Ibo name, so there's no "marginalization" here. See http://www.cenbank.org/currencymgt/N1000.asp

We supported them, but they failed to make it. Too bad.

Debate your stance: How do you know that "the power to change the world lies in the being within"?

Heh. Funny thread.

uchetobi, I guess the problem you're having is that you're not typing in your username and password correctly. Just keep on trying until you get it right!

I'm with you. We need to learn to motivate our younger ones by promoting positive values instead of just beating and beating.

What about the issue of poor customer service, which I mentioned in my post?

You know what I think? There are some people who enjoy starting and spreading[b] rumors[/b] about "true life supernatural encounters". And it is because of the activities of those people that all of us are so sure that witches are real. Haven't you had a classmate that was an exert storyteller, who would gather his friends round and tell them amazing stories that are all fabricated?

When I was in JSS2, one of my classmates told a story about how his brother dodged an armed robber's bullet when he called out "brother, there is a bullet coming at you!" And I actually believed him! That is the same way rumors about the supernatural activities of witches and wizards are disseminated.

This topic has been locked for drifting off topic.

In terms of the primary purpose of a company, which is to make money for its shareholders, MTN Nigeria is an enormous success. However, they have acquired a bad reputation due to their tendency to charge as much as possible and their customer service which is dissapointing for a company that tries so hard to appeal to our hearts and minds through adverts.

If MTN cares so much about their perception shouldn't they rather train their customer support employees to be more courteous and helpful, instead of merely spending all that money to create ads? Wouldn't that be a more effective way to win our hearts?

Someone has a crush on me? I have arrived! Thanks a million, girl, for making my day this way.

Why would he lie about not getting a Visa? Come on people, be reasonable.

Every young Nigerian would love to go to the US and if they can't go the reason is that the people at the US embassy feel that, being a young man with "no strong ties to Nigeria" he might decide to disappear when he gets there. So in their wisdom they denied him a visa.

The same thing has happened to Suny Neji and RuggedMan in the past Sunny Neji, Ruggedman denied British visa.

Two popular artistes billed to take part in an annual concert - Intro Jam - in London, were refused visa to do so recently.

Sunny Neji and Ruggedman were not only refused visa but were insulted in the bargain. Nigerians would tell you the two men are currently the rave in town. In turning them down, the High Commission said they were unpopular and not credible. The insult: it was feared the musicians might not return to the country at the end of the concert.

Hello,

One of the members of this forum posted recently about how he decided to beat his 19 year old sister because of a domestic quarrel (he's 22). I thought it was appalling that after doing that he had the audacity to come here to boast about it.

And there have been similar annoyances along this line:
- People who believe that it's sometimes ok to beat their wives and girlfriends if she has done "something bad".
- People who come here to tell us that "rape is a call of nature".
- People who defend female genital mutilation ("curcumcision".

As the administrator, I did not start this forum as an avenue for violent people to boast about their deeds and convince others to join them in there evil ways. I do not believe in violence in any form, and I do not want people to learn violent ways through this forum.

This type of thing would therefore no longer be tolerated. Please, let us not use the forum to promote the use of violence against those who happen to be too weak to fight back. We tolerate all varieties of viewpoints on issues, but views promoting violence will no longer tolerated, because this is a serious societal problem that we must not add to!

I am happy to know that 99% of the people on this forum are not violent people, and I would like the remaining 1% of us to repent!

Thank you.

You beat your 19 year old sister and you have the audacity to come here to boast about it?
