Money speaking.

Met A guy in the bus today that was defruaded via OLX...

Instead of building on quantity of users why not work on quality.
The likes of Amazon and Ebay has customer protection policies.
Ebay in particular started with a single broken pen he placed on auction. oLX and Google trader on the contrary has become sites where fraudsters practice there inhumane cheap skills.

So my take is I won't attempt any deal on OLX that is not cash and carry.. My 2cent

lexyman: Nigeria will win the World Cup again to be the most successful country in the World Cup .

take this elsewhere.

DO YOU KNOW! DO YOU KNOW!! DO YOU KNOW!!!.

1. Nigeria lifted the first ever Fifa U17 world cup tournament which was hosted by china in 1985.

2. All the previous fifa U17 world cup won by Nigeria were all lifted in ASIA soil - CHINA 1985, JAPAN 1993, and KOREA 2007. Now UAE ??

3. Nigeria has hosted the Fifa U17 once in 2009 (remember sound and power going off on 2 or 3 occasions #naija I hail) only to be defeated by the swiss on thier debut, while on verge of carrying the trophy back 2 back.

4. While Angentina has lifted nothing less than six (6) fifa U20 world cup, they have never been to the finals of Fifa U17 world cup.

5. Nigeria has never lost in the semi finals of the fifa U17 world cup

6. Nigeria has played 18 games againt European team won 11, drew 5, and lost just 2.

7. Nigeria is the most successful nation in
the tournament's history, with three titles
and three runner ups. Brazil is the second
most successful with three titles and 2
runner ups. Ghana and Mexico have won
the tournament twice.

8. Toni Kroos - Germany ( bayern munich ), Anderson - Brazil ( Man United ), Cesc Fabregas - Spain ( Barcelona ), Sergio - Spain ( Former Barcelona player ) and Florent sinama gongolle - france ( former Liverpool player) were all past Best players in the U17 fifa world cup tournament. I'm hoping Kelechi Iheanacho joins the list.

9. Contrary to the popular belief on most of the match thread or NL that if mexico defeats Nigeria they would be the first team to have lifted the trophy back to back. I will like to set the record straight that Brazil is the first team to lift the Fifa U17 worldcup back to back when they lifted they trophy in 1997-Egypt and 1999-New zealand.

Let me sum it up with two quotes and 3 likes... Happier now?

macof: my brother you are blessed with wisdom.

The Jews who actually own this God, don't portray him the way Christians do.

I have a Jewish Facebook friend dat told me christianity is crap, dat they rubbish the image of their God.

Like I was shoked to read about how much Jews and Christians disagree about God. And I wonder, wat is African business with Jehovah or Yahweh? Why can't a Yoruba worship Olodumare, and Igbo worship chineke. Is this not mental slavery?

lol thatz my point exactly christains think they share the same view with jews.. I laff in swahili at their ignorance.

Mhomies: This Israel that nairaland.com Christians are laying claims to is not even a Christian country after all.


Religion in Israel is a central feature of the country and plays a major role in shaping Israeli culture and lifestyle, and religion has played a central role in Israel's history. Israel is also the only country in the world where a majority of citizens are Jewish. According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, the population in 2011 was 75.4% Jewish, 20.6% Arab, and 4.1% minority groups.[1] The religious affiliation of the Israeli population[vague] as of 2011 was 75.4% Jewish, 16.9% Muslim, 2.1% Christian, and 1.7% Druze, with the remaining 4.0% not classified ...

You just spoke my mind... Xtain nation indeed, and so you know the %75.4 Jews believe that Jesus is a bastard and Mary a prostitute.

Shuga jay: Nigeria, Rivers State, Port Harcourt, daddy's house n lastly, in my room .. Hope u find d place soon .. Lemme cwash.. Not feelyn 2 fine but my sickness can't separate me 4rm GUS..

Gewd nyte, NLanders..

Same power failure in my crib same time, guess I can narrow your location down to............!! Well let me save it till anoda day.

NeoTesla: If you're pretty good at mathematics, physics and chemistry, then you could go with any of the three courses. They are arguably the best engineering courses in Nigeria and are crucial to the growth of any developing economy.

Mechanical Engineers in Nigeria have good prospects in electric power companies, manufacturing companies and oil and gas companies (mostly as rotating equipment engineers, static equipment engineers, subsea engineers, production engineers and reliability engineers)
Electrical Engineers in Nigeria have prospects EVERYWHERE! but many would prefer to work at electric power companies, manufacturing companies, telecoms companies, IT firms and oil and gas companies (mostly as electrical engineers, Instrumentation and control engineers, production engineers, reliability engineers and IT support).
Chemical engineers in Nigeria have prospects at manufacturing companies and oil and gas companies (Mostly as process engineers, operations engineers, production chemists, and sometimes, instrumentation and control engineers).

Note that there are many other areas these engineers could go into that are not captured above. You should also note that the number of people studying these courses far exceed the available jobs, so being a graduate of any of them is by no means a guarantee of employment. Whatever you do, let discipline, hard work and continual self development be your watchword, and you would greatly increase your chances at the job market.

Finally, I can say that in my Nigerian experience, which is totally subjective, there are usually a greater number of smart and motivated people studying electrical and chemical engineering, than you would find studying mechanical engineering; and being in the company of such people can be really good for your development.

Perfectly on point.

1. It's not supposed to be a cube shape Yes, ladies and gentleman… the most
famous cube in the world actually
started out shaped as a rectangle. I'll give you a moment to pick your jaws
off the floor. Right, where were we? Oh yeah, the Kaaba was never meant to
be a cube. The original dimensions of
The House included the semi-circular
area known as the Hijr Ismail. When the Kaaba was rebuilt just a few years before the Prophet received his first revelation, the Quraish agreed
to only use income from pure sources
to complete the rebuild. That meant no
money from gambling, looting,
prostitution, interest etc. In the ultimate
sign of how deeply mired in wrongdoing the Jahili Quraish were,
there was not enough untainted money
in this very wealthy trading city to
rebuild the Kaaba to its original size and
shape! They settled for a smaller version of the
Kaaba and put a mud brick wall (called
“Hijr Ismail” although it has no
connection to the Prophet Ismail (A)
himself) to indicate the original
dimensions. Towards the end of his life, the Prophet intended to rebuild the Kaaba on its original foundations but
passed away before he could fulfill his
wish. Apart from a brief interlude of a
few years during the reign of Caliph
Abdullah ibn Zubair ®, the Kaaba has
remained the same shape that the Prophet saw it in. The history of the Kaaba is not just an
interesting story from our past. The
Kaaba is a real and present symbol that
connects all Muslims together wherever
they may be. It also connects us to our
glorious and not-so-glorious past so that we may derive lessons and feel that
we are a part of an eternal mission. In a
day and age where Muslims are
increasingly disconnected from our
history,as well as each other, the
Kabaa reminds us of our shared heritage and bonds. It is a symbol of
unity in an Ummah sorely in need of it.

2. The Black Stone is broken Ever wondered how the Black Stone
came to be in the silver casing that
surrounds it? Some say it was broken by a stone fired
by the Umayyad army laying siege to
Mecca whilst it was under the control of
Abdullah ibn Zubair ®. However, most agree that it was most
damaged in the middle ages by an
extreme heretical Ismaili group from
Bahrain called the Qarmatians who had
declared that the Hajj was an act of
superstition. They decided to make their point by killing tens of thousands
of hujjaj
and
dumping
their
bodies in the well of
Zamzam. As if this
act of treachery was not enough, these
devils took the Black Stone to the East
of Arabia and then Kufa in Iraq where
they held it ransom until they were
forced to return it by the Abassid Caliph. When they returned it, it was in pieces
and the only way to keep them
together was by encasing them in a
silver casing. Some historians narrate
that there are still some missing pieces
of the stone floating around.

3. There are two kaabas! Directly above the Kaaba in heaven is
an exact replica. This Kaaba was
mentioned in the Qurʾān and by the Prophet . The Messenger of Allāh said narrating about the journey of 'Isra wal
Miraaj “Then I was shown Al-Bait-al-Ma'mur (i.e. Allāh's House). I asked Gabriel about it and he said, This is Al Bait-ul- Ma'mur where 70,000 angels perform prayers daily and when they leave they never return to it (but always a fresh batch comes into it daily).”

4. The inside contains plaques commemorating the rulers who renovated it For years many have wondered what it
looks like inside the Kaaba. Relying on
second or third hand accounts from
those who were lucky enough to enter
just wasn't satisfying enough. Then one
lucky person who went inside took his camera phone in with him and Millions
have seen the shaky footage online. The interior of the Kaaba is now lined
with marble and a green cloth covering
the upper walls. Fixed into the walls are
plaques each commemorating the
refurbishment or rebuilding of the
House of Allāh by the ruler of the day. Watch the video below of the only place
on Earth that you can pray in any
direction you want, the House of Allāh,
the first place of worship for mankind –
the Kaaba.

5. You used to be able to swim around it One of the problems with having the
Kaaba situated at the bottom of a valley
is that when it rains – valleys tend to
flood. This was not an uncommon
occurrence in Mecca and the cause of a
lot of trouble before the days of flood control systems and sewage. For days
on end the Kaaba would be half
submerged in water. Did that stop
Muslims from performing the Tawaf? Of
course not. As the picture below amply
shows – Muslims just started swimming around the Kaaba. Modern adjustments to the surrounding
landscape and flood prevention
techniques mean we may never see
such sights again. Or will we? Check out
this recent video.

6. It used to be open to everyone Until recently, the Kaaba was opened
twice a week for anyone to enter and
pray. However, due to the rapid
expansion in the number of pilgrims
and other factors, the Kaaba is now
opened only twice a year for dignitaries and exclusive guests only. Watch the video attached here to
witness the doors of the Kaaba being
opened (at 50 seconds) – and the
simultaneous gasps of a Million people
as they cry out at this auspicious
moment.

7. The keys are in the hands of one family At the time of the Prophet , each aspect to do with the rites of Hajj was in
the hands of different sub-groups of
the Quraish. Every one of these would
eventually lose control of their
guardianship of a particular rite except
one. On the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet was given the keys to the Kaaba and instead of keeping it in his
own possession; he returned them
back to the Osman ibn Talha ® of the
Bani Shaiba family. They had been the
traditional key keepers of the Kaaba for centuries; and the Prophet confirmed them in that role till the end
of time by these words “Take it, O Bani Talha, eternally up to the Day of Resurrection, and it will not be taken from you unless by an unjust, oppressive tyrant.” Whether Caliph, Sultan or King – the
most powerful men in the world have
all had to bow to the words of the Prophet and ask permission from this small Makkan family before they
can enter the Kaaba

8. It used to be multi- coloured We are so
used to
the Kaaba being covered in the
trademark black Kiswah with gold
banding that we can't imagine it being
any other colour. However, this tradition seems to have started at the
time of the Abbasids (whose household
colour was black) and before this the
Kaaba was covered in multiple colours
including green, red and even white.
