Hello Ndidi. You are a model, but are you an actress? That takes some training, you know.

Alcohol[b]ism[/b] is destructive.

We don't have world-class health facilities. We have Africa-class health facilities.

Why waste your time getting angry with someone that has no regard for you? Just leave him.

Obviously he was removed in a 'dignifying' manner.

How much?

Am thinking of doing my masters in design science(digital media) where i can learn how 2 do splendid animations like shrek and bee so as 2 bypass all this whole mess of no quality cameras , lightning, and all

The camera issue is not it at all. Under proper lighting, you don't need a great camera. The cameras they use have more resolution than your typical 21 inch TV set. But they have to reduce squeeze it down for VCD; maybe that is the real problem.

Animated film production using 3D isn't easy. You have to write a very good script. You have to assign facial expressions and physical gestures to each word or action in your movie. You have to get good voice actors, and that requires almost as much skill as actual acting. You have to add music, believable sound effects. Any one of these tasks alone can take years to master, but you have to be proficient at all. Not easy!

So it's not really easier than live-action movie production. Animated Hollywood movies cost about the same to make as blockbuster movies. Nothing in movie-making is easy. That's why we want suggestions and not condemnation.

@bibiking1
thanks for the informed opinion.

You call it "informed opinion". I call it "terrorist manifesto".

I was far from tripped sha. . . . . Considering d way our dear ol' RAZZ raises hell & runs her mouth all over N'L, i was xpecting quite an earful in her unique, hair-raising, garrulous fashion. . . . . But not so, sadly not so!

Heh. Many people who are wild on the Internet are rather tame in person. Although, I don't think Razorr is one of those people. She just needs time to get used to the camera and we'll see red.

Where can I find Razorr on STV? What day and what time?

You should definitely not be in a relationship just because society expects you to. You should be in one only because it's better for you.

Why can't you have an affair with an unmarried man? Why must it be a married man?

This is not a romance problem. It's a career problem. Forget about the girl for now.

Does PEFTI train actors too?

If that's true, then freedom fighters are over-rated. This has always been my belief,
but it never occurred to me to despise the famous Nelson Mandela as one of them. Sad.
Wasn't the struggle against apartheid won by non-violent means at the end of the day?

Wikipedia:

Guerrilla activities

In 1961, Mandela became the leader of the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (translated as Spear of the Nation, also abbreviated as MK), which he co-founded. He coordinated a sabotage campaign against military and government targets, and made plans for a possible guerrilla war if sabotage failed to end apartheid. A few decades later, MK did wage a guerrilla war against the regime, especially during the 1980s, in which many civilians were killed. Mandela also raised funds for MK abroad, and arranged for paramilitary training, visiting various African governments.

Mandela explains the move to embark on armed struggle as a last resort, when increasing repression and violence from the state convinced him that many years of non-violent protest against apartheid had achieved nothing and could not succeed.[6][2]

Mandela later admitted that the ANC, in its struggle against apartheid, also violated human rights, and has sharply criticised attempts by parts of his party to remove statements supporting this fact from the reports of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.[7]

Terrorism, in the modern sense,[1] is violence, the threat of violence, or other harmful acts committed for political or ideological goals.[2] Most definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a lone attack), and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians). Many definitions also include only acts of unlawful violence.

I stumbled upon this post on the Internet:

Nelson Mandela was a terrorist. He used arms struggle for making his point. He wanted the ruling British to talk with nationalist fighters – for peace. But British never agreed for a one-to-one dialog and the mayhem of anarchy, atrocity and violence continued for more than half a century.

- Was Nelson Mandela really a 'terrorist'?
- If so, does this mean being a 'terrorist' isn't such a bad thing?
- In the future, will people like Asari Dokubo be perceived as 'heroes', just like Mandela?

Nigerian bakers here have to contend with rising cost of flour and other materials, crazy import duties and related fees on foreign baking machinery and equipment, and last but not the least, our very own dismal power supply

Don't the Chinese bakeries in Nigeria also have to contend with these same problems?

Let's face it. We may have crashed out of this competition!

Did anyone watch this movie? I've been hearing about it.

Glad you changed the title. I'm sure he did not actually say "Lagos is evil"

I think it's ridiculous. Sorry.

Nigeria will forever remain the giant Of Africa - because of our enormous population.

What sort of advice do you expect us to give when you've not told us what caused the fight?

The rest of the world is coming together and we are talking about splitting up?
Nigeria cannot split up. We are united by oil and trade. Give it up.

the only genuine reason you can give is your true reason. It's obvious you intend to elope.

It is clear that these people are not serious about solving the PHCN problem.
And even if they were serious about it, the problem is bigger than they realize.
They keep talking about meeting the current demand [/b]for electricity.

What they don't realise is that:

1) The [b]demand for electricity is growing at the same rate as our economy - fast!
2) If PHCN is able to magically satisfy the current demand for electricity by tomorrow, which is impossible, many people who are currently using generators will just switch to NEPA. Within one week, we will be right where we started. The demand for electricity is not a constant. If you make cheap electricity available at an unsustainably low price (6 naira per kilowatt), people will simply use it more. (How am I so sure? When GSM technology was launched in Nigeria, the demand was estimated at "200,000 lines"or so. Now we have millions of GSM owners, which is evidence of suppressed demand)

The only way the problem will ever be solved is to:
1) Break up NEPA/PHCN into little pieces and auction off each piece separately.
2) Allow the companies to compete with each other freely. Advertise freely. Set rates freely.

The result is that all those people who are currently importing and repairing generators will move into the more lucrative power generation business. Instead of importing small generators for individual use, they would be importing large generators for use by the freely competing electricity generating and distribution companies. They get their money, you get cheaper power without noise and stress. Everybody wins.

The price of electricity under the new system will start off about the same as the cost of running a generator, but competition will drive it down on the long run. This can only happen if entry into the business is unrestricted. If there are hundreds of competing power companies and not just 3 or 4 mega-corporations. When you have just 3 or 4 competitors, you end up with an oligopoly, which is almost as bad as a monopoly like NEPA.

Why is this not going to happen? Politics. Labour unions. Privileged government contractors. Ignorance.

Go and read everybody contribution on I AM TIRED OF NEPA,

If you are truly tired of NEPA, just disconnect your meter. If you are serious about your business and your comfort, stop waiting for a miracle. Buy a generator and an inverter and continue with your life!

I commend the retired agents for providing us with excellent entertainment!
