Not unless you promised not to shoot me if I cooperated!

Gbosa, Gbosa, Gbosa.

The person below me is homosexual.

What exactly will cause you to jump to the conclusion that your mum is using witchcraft on you? And why is it your mom that is percieved as a witch, why don't you consider the possibility that your dad is a wizard and he has nothing better to do with his supernatural powers than to persecute his own son, after toiling for decades to raise him up?

I think the idea that your mom would be practising withcraft on you is ridiculous. if she wanted to kill you, she would have done it a long time ago, when you were in her womb or as a baby. Come on! Women take a lot of nonsense from men!

Seun is the most handsome of them all.

Seun would buy a country for himself if he had the money.

Seun thinks that Nigeria has enough potential to be a super-power tommorrow.

Seun is single. Buy now, pay later!

I'm glad you're enjoying your stay on Nairaland. It means a lot to me that this site means a lot to a lot of people!

But government scientists who analyzed the fumes determined they resulted from the build up of emissions from factories and old cars, Lagos state spokesman Kehinde Bamgbetan said.

"The climate became a little bit colder, so it enabled the polluted air to develop into a smog," Bamgbetan said.

No one died from the smog, he said.

No, you don't stand a chance. You've been watching too many hollywood movies!

Hello escon,

I notice that you say you've announced that you're single and available, but then you claim that you're "not looking". This is called poppycock and I'm sure the girls know this!

Welcome to Nairaland, I so much love your spirit! Do you want us to shorten your display name from Esconedge to 'Escon' so that people will find it very easy to communicate with you?

Seun.

It's a pity that the scammers have damaged our reputation this badly

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) -- Nigeria -- which has global notoriety as a base for criminals exploiting the reach of the Internet -- is considering making spamming a criminal offense that could land senders of unsolicited e-mails in jail for three years.

"Any person spamming electronic messages to recipients with whom he has no previous relationship commits an offense," said the text of the draft law presented to the legislature this week.

A person found guilty risks either at least three years in jail, a fine equal to $3,500, or both.

I'm a bit concerned about this law, because it can easily be abused, but I think they are doing it primarily because of the "Yahoo Boys" who have tarnished our image abroad. This seems to be a step in the direction, or what do you think? Will the bill be approved by the legislators?

Actually, that's not his picture.

The fact that a woman isn't enjoying sex doesn't prevent her from having sex with a teacher to win a favor or having sex with boys in class out of curiousity (or a desire for gifts or attention) and pretending to enjoy it. Remember, when it comes to sex, women are experts at pretending.

I won't pretend to be an expert, but please read:

I'm thinking, "goodguy deserves an award, and hot-angel for referring him!"

Vancouver is the world's best place to live, a survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has found. The EIU ranked 127 cities in terms of personal risk, infrastructure and the availability of goods and services.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4306936.stm

Only 127 cities were surveyed, so maybe we shouldn't take it too negatively? Afterall, Lagos is not the only city in Nigeria and we know it has problems. I'm not concerned about how the world sees our cities, I'm more concerned about the notion they have that we are corrupt.

If the world under-rates us, it will only make it easier for us to compete in the 'global village'.

I don't think you would be able to use your VISA Card in Nigeria. I'll try to promote this thread so we can collect more information on the convertibility of traveller's cheques.

Dad: We are not always right, and sometimes we make mistakes.

I have interpreted it to mean, "take charge of your life, using force if necessary, because you are ultimately responsible for your actions and decisions". I have made every effort to follow that implied advice ever since!

Greatpeter from the conflict resolution team seems to have dealt with the issue. Members of the conflict resolution team (Greatpeter, Vexxy) deserve a lot of credit for all the conflicts they have resolved since the team was formed - some to my knowledge and others that I'm not even aware of!

If it's gas from a vandalized NNPC pipeline as some people have suggested then the only real danger might be the possibility of an explosion near the source of the fumes. But the fumes are from a factory, it may be something to be concerned about and air samples in affected areas should be taken for lab analysis.

I'm glad to hear that it's getting better. Happy ending!

Let's not bring the issue of tribalism into this. The two men are said to be [b]former Central Bank Directors [/b]and that's all there is to it! If a yorubaman or Iboman had been in the position, their faces would have been on the note. Look, the people in government are driven by personal ambitions and they only play the ethnic card in order to rally support from the tribalistic masses. Let's not buy into that rubbish: the two men are former Central Bank officials hence their names are on the 1,000 naira note.

I guess that those who want news on the go might be better served by the mobile web version of BBC News, which should be at wap.bbc.co.uk, but I want to specially thank afajack for informing us about the SMS option.

I don't like the idea of parents mistreating their children in the name of "God". This is child abuse. What Abraham did when he wanted to sacrifice Isaac is also murder and child abuse, and since he was more than 20 years old at the time, I think Isaac had issues too. Allow my aged father to tie me up with the intention of stabbing and burning me to death? I don't think so!

By the way, I just noticed that you're posting from a phone. That's lovely. wap.nairaland.com and wap2.nairaland.com!

Please add to this list!

The aliens you think you saw on TV are probably computer-generated images. Police arresting aliens, and it won't leak out? Not a chance, unless the 'neuralizer' in Men in Black really exists in the real world!

Hello nuel,

Welcome to Nairaland!

Seun.

Sorry o, it's Lagos I'm yabbing and not Nigeria. Lagos annoys me but I like the rest of Nigeria. Sorry, everybody, but we are all Nigerians here and we ought to try to be candid.

I just called someone who works at Oba Akran Avenue, Ikeja and in his office are busy at work and haven't even heard about this issue. So hopefully it's nothing much and maybe the dense smoke as described by whizkid's acquaintance is only in a small area. It may be smoke from a factory or something.

[s]I'm concerned about this, because I know that while people people ought to leave the area of the fumes, they might stay and suffer/die to to ignorance or inertia. Something like this happened in India and killed thousands of people in the area. I hope that the fumes are not poisonous enough to kill, and that there's no stampede.[/s]

You know what? Not even one of the 40 members of the Lagos Freecycle group has offered to give-away any items. All the messages in the archive are messages from the administrator reminding the members of the rules and regulations of the group!
