Average cost of living varies depending on where you live. A Nigerian can survive on any amount! |

z-murda: they collected share certificates and other papers which seem worthless at this point. at least that's what i think. Wow, they did that? It's funny in a tragic way. The same people who complain that Nigerian banks don't like giving out loans are the ones complaining now. You can't have it both ways. If the banks are responsible, you won't get a loan. And if they are less responsible, you'll get the loan, but your bank may collapse with all your savings. We can't eat our cake and have it, it's as simple as that. We cannot rely on banks to drive our economy. If we are thriving, our banks will thrive. And vice versa. At the end of the day, no amount of financial difficulty or consolidation mumbo-jumbo can compensate for our lack of productivity as a country. |

Sorry about this. Maybe you need to think about living your life separate from your family. If you live in your own place and you have a Fulani wife, there's little your mother can do  I think it's a pity your girlfriend left you, but maybe it's for the best. Even if you really love each other, too much stress from the family can make the love go sour. That's just it. |

Where will a Nigerian get the 64-bit version of Windows Vista? Anyway, a 64-bit OS should be able to run 32-bit applications. |

On a more serious note, isn't this why most banks insist on collateral before giving loans? |

If they chose to leave every guy they consider cheats, in no time they would have been with all the men there is to be with and I don't see how this helps the reputation of the woman as virtuous. This makes no sense. If women choose to leave every guy that cheats, guys will stop cheating. |

All men are not the same. I am a man and I don't have chains of girlfriends. Some men like to have lots of girlfriends, some girls like to have lots of boyfriends.
The main difference is that women are more tolerant of infidelity/polygamy in their partners. No man will agree to be someone's second husband, no man will tolerate the knowledge that his girlfriend is sleeping with other men.
So the real question is, why do women tolerate dogs? Your guess is as good as mine. |

Vanguard Nigeria: By Vincent Ujumadu AWKA- A Popular Nigerian actor, Chief Pete Edochie has been reportedly kidnapped at Nkpor, a suburb in the commercial town of Onitsha.
https://www.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Peter-Edochie1.jpg
Details were still foggy at press time, although the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka confirmed the development when Vanguard called him. He however, said that the state police command was still trying to get a clearer picture of the situation.
Vanguard gathered that shortly after the kidnap, somebody called his sister in-law, Mrs. Rita Edochie, who is also an actress, asking her to call her Edochie’s number, adding that the number rang several times, but was not answered,
It was then that the family got the information that three people were allegedly shot during the scuffle to kidnap him before the kidnappers were able to take him away.
State Police Commissioner, Mr. Uzor Amankulor said in a telephone interview that he immediately relocated to the area with a view to rescuing the popular actor, adding that he and his men have started combing the bushes in the area to rescue him.
Pete Edochie, a devout Catholic, is considered one of Africa’s most talented actors, by both Movie Awards and Movie Magic’s Africa Magic Cable network.
Although a seasoned administrator and broadcaster, he came into prominence in the 1980s when he played the lead role of Okonkwo in an NTA adaptation of Chinua Achebe’s all time best selling novel, Things Fall Apart.
Edochie descends from the Igbo people in Nigeria.
He has two sons that take to his acting traits; Linc and Yul Edochie.
Edochie got into radio broadcasting in 1967 as a junior programmes assistant after which he was elevated to the level of a Director.
He was director of programmes, but doubling sometimes as Deputy Managing Director and occasionally acting as Managing Director.
He quit ABS because the government decided to politicise the affairs of their FM station, thereby resulting in the entire management being asked to move out, including him. He was to be the immediate successor to the MD but had to leave and enrol into the movie industry.
Prior to that, he had featured in Things Fall Apart and had won an International Award. The BBC flew into Nigeria to interview him for his role in Things Fall Apart .He lived with his wife and two sons in Enugu, Enugu State in south-eastern Nigeria.
In 2005 the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria placed Pete Edochie and several other actors, including Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Nkem Owoh, Ramsey Noah, Stella Damasus Aboderin,Chinwe Okeke and Richard Mofe Damijo on a one year ban from filming after they were said to have been collecting huge fees from producers due to their A-list celebrity status.
The ban placed on these actors was seen as doom in the Nigerian film business, but currently, the actors are back in filming. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2009/08/16/pete-edochie-kidnapped/[quote][/quote] |
