You need to study O Level Economics.

seun, please, i beg to disagree with you. have you ever heard of 'dependency'?

'Dependency' is what keeps sensible nations from going to war. For example, the Americans can't bomb us to oblivion even though their citizens are being kidnapped in the Niger Delta because they need our oil. And we need their computers and their Internet and their technical knowhow.

Voluntary trade is always win-win because no-one would trade if they weren't gaining from it.

it is a situation in which the economy of African states depends on, and is conditioned by the development and expansion of the economies of Western Europe and America.

All countries depend on many other countries. America depends on Nigeria and Nigeria depends on America.

seun, African states have no control over international markets for their primary products.

The American state doesn't control international markets either. No single entity controls any market anywhere. Markets are controlled by the private buyers and sellers in the market - you and me.

Markets only need willing buyers and sellers, but the evil political class interferes for its own personal gain.

The struggle is not between The West an Africa. It's between the coercive ruling class and its unwilling subjects.

if you still don't agree, then i'll tell you about 'neo-colonialism'. this is seen as a new imperialist system for holding the developing countries in a state of dependence and exploitation under conditions when direct dominance has been eliminated and the balance of the forces in the world has changed in the favour of socialism.

Grammar. If socialism is so wonderful, why don't you just move to Cuba?

i am open to more suggestions seun.

Start a business that addresses a need. Make profit. Reinvest the profits every year to build the business and help more people. If you care about hunger, become a farmer. If you care about malaria, be a mosquito net marketer. Whetever African need it is you care about, start a business that addresses the need in a sustainable (profitable) manner.

That, my friend, is what Africa needs. Politicians can only interfere in this process. They cannot help us.

He's just following the footsteps of Benny Hinn, who has made similar claims in the past:

And I spoke out and I said, ‘Lord, who is this man I see?’ I know you may, you may think I lost my mind, but the Lord said, ‘Elijah, the prophet!’

'Siddon look' can be a good way to expose liars - most people will hang themselves if given enough rope.

Thanks. I guess this means no one has issues with my proposed organization.

- An Arts section (or forum) with fiction, poems, jokes, and part of graphics, as subforums.

- A Hardware/Gadget section for everything from Printers to Inverters to vacuum cleaners.
and a special subforum for advertising gadgets and hardware.

- A Software section for programmers (including web coders) and users of application software

- A new Business section that includes Webmaster topics like e-commerce and hosting.

The Technology section is so unpopular that I'm thinking of putting it on the same level as forums like romance and business. Not only does it not have many posts, but people didn't even vote for its subforums.

If you don't have the money to take care of yourself, how will you have the money to take care of children?

Why should your children have to suffer just because you couldn't wait and face your work for a few more years?

Source, please?

Well done, faithful brother-in-law. Thanks for doing the right thing.

It's a cute idea, but, if people wanted to post recipes so badly, won't they be posting them on Nairaland already? Afterall, it's "free" to post a recipe on Nairaland and "free" to read a thread where recipes have been posted!

from www.google.com obviously.

Any man who can raise enough money from others to build a private university must be full of knowledge.

A certain kind of knowledge. Knowledge of how to press the right buttons on people's hearts.

smartsoft, you know that you are the kind of guy she is afraid of, right?

Tell her that if she doesn't want to be "pregnated" she can just insist on a condom or avoid sex.

Congrats. But mind you politics is never the answer. You cannot force Hnd graduates on employers (us).

Welcome to Nairaland!

xanadu, is the upcoming site so shameful that you're unwilling to admit that it's yours? Pity.

Well, a good P2P ecommerce site exists already: www.whogobuy.com

What do we stand to benefit from this comic carnival?

A girl can be just my friend if I have a better female friend somewhere else that's more than just a friend.

I am a citizen of the world, but my family members are all from Ilesha!

Wow, I don't understand what the president is doing at all.

You should just switch to a different browser:
www.mozilla.org/firefox (Download Firefox)

Or a new version of Internet Explorer.

Your mother is to blame for allowing you to grow up with that kind of attitude.

Isn't it better to post the list as part of your advert?

Or are you trying to offer different prices to different people?

I haven't contacted them yet. I'm still hoping the printer will magically start working.

I have no such ability. I have my own personal 'vacancies' though.

Me? Judgmental? No, that's not possible. I am only being stubborn!

Actually, you are right. When Papermon announced her own death, it was her ghost that did it!

It may be the same as the giant "rat" we call "asin". I think they call it "bush meat":

Sorry, I'm relying on a statement goodguy posed from his cyber-cafe:
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-23105.0.html#msg604625

It seems as if they initially planned to ban night browsing entirely. Let's wait and see.

Here's something I just found on the EFCC website:

In most parts of Lagos, the Nigerian Tribune gathered that the cost of internet browsing per hour is now N200 as against the N100 that was previously charged, while 30 minutes now attracts N100 or N120 as against the previous N50 or N60.

Hurray to EFCC!!

Really? My mind played tricks on me one time I was at home sick with malaria. My roommates from OAU-Ife appeared to me in a ghostly form and I had to shout "the name" to get them to disappear. Nonsense it was!
