Self-inflicted tragedies like this are just too bad. The price they have paid for their carelessness just too high.

When Nigerians were proclaiming Yar'adua's 'death', they refused to confirm the story, so this one might be true.

Ok, let's be friends. Wait a minute, what do we have in common? What is special about you?

Do you think table tennis would be a good spectator sport in Nigeria, like soccer?

andre5: yes, you need a break. I don't think the problem is with your career per se. You're just burned out.
This happens to me from time to time even though I'm just a webmaster, but I always regain my enthusiasm.

Nice Site but guess you could take customer service more seriously.

My customer service is excellent. Google can attest to that. I serve them faithfully 24 hours a day.

I strongly encourage you to consider the economics of your proposal. I really want this effort to result in something.

Nferyn, you have grieved the Most Exalted High & Mighty Ancient Milk Of The Coconut by calling me a heretic.

Remember this verse: "All coconut heads, one they are. You, divide the indivisible coco-people, must not."

Okocha would definitely be in my dream team.

Cute-ass, the girl in question has not slept with those other guys.
For all we know, she's may just be planning to keep them as friends.

Hello tbara. Welcome to Nairaland. How is Bayelsa?

They go to their rooms, of course. Their lonely, pitiful , empty rooms!

The problem is that you think marriage is about 'being in control'. If you change that view, you won't have problems.
Think of it as a partnership. Wouldn't a partnership work better if both partners are equally mature?

Is "robo" harder to return than a legal service?

Why is it that it's hard to find dual core processors and DVD-RW drives in the same package under 200,000 naira?

A miserly $1 million? Yeah, $1 million is a very miserly amount. You can't even buy the solar system with it.

Why can't some of these men and women be honorable and forget about the money? Must divorce be dirty?

Source, please. Otherwise this thread is going to disappear.

I think you should forget about whether she's beautiful or not and focus on maintaining a healthy relationship.

How many games do you normally play to determine the winner of a match? 3? 5? 7?

I changed my mind about becoming a commercial software developer when I realized that all the cool and useful programs I could think of have already been written, and most are available for free download on the net. The 'fun' aspect of software development - writing applications for thousands of people (retail) - has been commoditized.

The easy money is now in what the indians have built their 'empire' on - custom software development. But it's as boring as hell! One form of custom software development that is doing well is website development.

And then there's the 419 issue: who is going to ask a Nigerian to build a mission-critical piece of software?

If the industry deserves to exist, then all these hurdles will be overcome without any government "support".

Here's a link to the original Intern Show thread: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-12933.0.html

Can you introduce us to Gundam? I'm only familiar with Naruto ninjas.

You are right. Ouch!

Yes, I can see the baby. It's a foetus and its head is on the left of the picture.

The bible only permits that if she's been sleeping with that other man.

I've also never officially dated or kissed anyone, so let us e-wallow together in our misery.

What part of "report to moderator" are you too ***** to understand?

Someone has mentioned that oil companies are sometimes prevented from cleaning up oil spills by the "communities" (i.e. criminals) who want to increase the money they'll get. Pollution compensation is a simple civil matter.
