RIP!

When there is no law and order, economic instability, high rate of unemployment, extractive economic and political system, barbarism will be the order of the day.


How many more assassinations, ghastly road accidents, kidnappings and prostitution do we need till we realise that we need a radical change in direction in this nation.

Name of vehicle owner should not be on the list.If a fraudster knows your name and your car plate number then you've helped him/her solve 50% of the problem of defrauding you.

Ive seen this plenty of times.The grandmas of rich folks are not materialistic.She probably prefers her house to be loke that amd I'm sure she wants good health more than anything else.

I am currently designing an Energy from Waste plant in the country I live.I will come home in a heart beat if my expertise is sought by the Lagos State govt.

Who will marry this useless ashawo wey her p.unani don turn into lagos-ibadan expressway?

That your useless father is a billionaire doesn't mean everybody will be falling at your feet.

I can't even date any lady from a wealthy family talk more of a marriage, because once I give you instructions - as the head of the house and you don't comply, na back-hand slap straight! And if you complain, na 2 punches to your throat - no time!

You don't come into my house and be forming - my father is a billionaire or even proclaiming gender equality, na wheelbarrow dem go take carry you commot for my doormoth

Sorry to burst your bubble, that bridge is not even a cable-stay bridge.. those cable-like stuffs are actually rods and are strictly aesthetic; they perform no structural role whatsoever! Its a reinforced concrete deck bridge!

- EssOO (Structural Engineer_ Coincidentally witnessed the construction on this bridge from piling to commissioning from waterside Lekki)

You are right, I later found out that those cables are not doing anything, just aesthetic.That's fraud lool because a concrete deck bridge will be cheaper than a cable-stayed bridge.

These is an insult.Who buys weapons from Paston. Yes they make weapons and have strong army but they are still upcoming. They sold toys to us

Dangote is a snake. This man followed Goodluck Jonathan everywhere he went during his tenure. Whoever is Nigeria's president, dangote aims at making more money using em. This is bad. Why should a president be signing a deal in the name of a private business man Dangote? How will this deal bless the people more than the owner?

I feel you bro.It's called capitalist Democracy, at it's ugly peak it becomes corpotocracy.To me, democracy don't benefit the populace, humans are too greedy for it to work,not that it's not a good system, you can't have capitalist billionaires with vested interest funding elections and with connections to top government officials formulating policies that will only favour them.It does not help the common man,at the end of the day they spew out rubbish like "we created 1,000,000 jobs", no you made more billionaires richer and created low paid jobs where the masses work for billionaires you created.

What is life wen tomorrow u die; what happens to ur fame, certificate, properties, cars, money, etc.... Vanity upon vanity

Yes o, that's the question I've been asking of late.It's like going to a beach, you enjoy your temporary time there, but never act or think as if you will live there permanentlly. In the light of eternity, I think life is like we are on a beach(of course we settle down,hope you know what I mean).May the Lord have mercy on her soul and all the departed.

awelekiti:
Congrats to him. I'm not surprised though. The day I got to know this man was (and still is)the owner of gatwick airport in UK, one of the busiest airports in Europe, I was amazed. We've really got a lot of silent, successful Nigerians out there, doing us proud. His wife is the owner of Ruff ''N'' Tumble, a famous kids' outfit in Nigeria.

The man is the head of a private equity that's own several properties amongst which is Gatwick.I know when that "He owned Gatwick news went around".He does not exclusively own Gatwick and I have no doubt that he has a stake in It.

StOla:
It is Ogunlesi not Ogunlensi.

Secondly, he is Ijebu from Ogun state, not Ondo state. His father is Professor Ogunlesi, the first Nigerian professor of medicine.

As for Trump and the Republicans, they have a penchant for assembling capitalist gurus, that in turn wreck the solid economy already achieved by the Democrats.

Bush made sure he wrecked the economy he inherited from Clinton. Obama cleaned up the mess of Bush, now a Republican Trump has come to inherit a stable democrat engineered economy.

How do the Republicans wreck the economy?
They invite all their capitalist friends to run the country, who as a matter of first priority, erase all forms of government regulations in their own respective business sectors. Bluntly put, they are in power to see how best to grow their own businesses. They continue to take all manner of greedy risks, even if they have to bet against America.

They quickly cut taxes for the wealthiest of the wealthy, claiming such increase in disposable income would be reinvested in the economy by creating more jobs.When the charade falls apart, they run back to beg for government bailout with tax payers funds, while still flying about in chartered flights living an illusion called American Dream.
The average Joe remains average.

Time will tell if Trump will wreck it in typical Republican fashion, while the short memory Americans run back to the Democrats for succour in a cycle that never changes.

Nailed it

66million per week


When so many doctors,lawyers and engineers can't even boast of 30milla throughout their entire career.


Why do we now attend school self. Get a normal degree and start hustling jare.


Nobody can stop my son from playing football. NOBODY!!!

If people did not go to school there won't even be beautiful stadiums to play in.Entertainment sells,end of story.Engineers,Doctors etc advances humanity but don't demand $212,000/week.It's your call.

Why is he even talking about the university that a 49 years old woman attended.The university you went to doesn't even matter 5 yrs after leaving

SirShymexx:
It isn't really about the products of the Uni not being considered good enough British employers, it has more to do with the fact that the Unis at the bottom are mostly new Unis that uses to be polytechnics and they haven't been able to build the type of trust employers can vouch for. And most of them are still growing, hence they always different campuses scattered everywhere. While the ones at the top are old red brick universities employers can trust. The disparity is well outlined once you look at the names of the Unis on both lists (my alma mater is on the best list lol).

Also, in the U.K, Unis are also graded per department basis. Overall, UEL might be graded as the worst Uni but might be one of the best when it comes to Accounting. However, this won't be accounted for when you start judging it on overall basis.

Anyway, the fact that she was able to get into PwC and get to the top, despite being a product of UEL, is the most important thing here due to how competitive it's and the institutionalised racism prevalent at some of these top-tier companies. You either have to be from a solid and well connected background, attend oxbridge and a private/grammar school, or have an established career, to get into some of them. The Guardian UK newspaper is a classic example because I believe about 90% of their employees attended Oxbridge.

She has done well for herself. You had a pig who attended Harvard and MIT that failed woefully. But even without a free hand to operate - you can see that Kemi is very bright with good intentions. So, name and pedigree of institution are irrelevant here - the ability to do the job is the most important thing. Some of the smartest folks never attended the best Uni because they're late bloomers and they discovered their method of assimilation and regurgitation, which formal education is about quite late. However, that hasn't stopped them from being some of the most astute problem solvers ever.

Let me use a yank example since a lot of you are Anericophile: George Bush attended Yale University while Ronald Reagan barely had formal higher education but we all know who was the better of the two. The latter is seen as one of the greatest presidents the US ever had, while the former would have to be one of the dumbest leaders ever lol. That should tell you all you need to know.

Thank you for the comment.League tables respect the older schools more. Architecture department in UEL is one of the best in the country(their students have won almost every top Architecture awards in the country over the past years) yet someone will go to league tables and say UEL is worst and the last.

refreshrate:
All this to qualify what exactly sir?

So people who go to good schools are dumb

She didn't just attend any school but the worst no wonder she speaks cockney. Jaguda girl

Trust me if she had something between her ears she'd have better grades and a better school

Anyway since its Nepa certificate her oga has guess this makes her an upgrade

No one is saying people who went to top schools are dumb Sir. All i'm saying is that league tables are not an absolute.

University league tables are somehow elitist.They don't mean a lot really. The only difference to me between lowly ranked schools and top schools are the entry requirements but in the league tables you see things that are totally subjective to student's opinion and they compile these tables by the students questionnaires.No matter how some universites develop each year, they will not be uniquely favoured by the league tables because they are not the so called red brick University and no matter how bad a red brick university does, it will not be uniquely disfavoured.

Using league tables to judge a university is like using the rotten tomatoes movie review website to judge a movie. They are only people's opinion.

I once attended an assessment centre with about 9 candidates from red brick universities and I was from a post 1992 university.After several exercises, numerical test and one-to-one interview,you know who got the job?Me.

Top universities certainly opens the door for you but won't help you to be the best you can be unless you have the motivation.

freecocoa:
Has it been declared?

Not declared but projected to win from electoral poll declared and announced by AP and BBC. They don@t carry rumour!

Amelian:
JJC for just stay house..
cause it takes a man with a veryvstrong heart to mellow when. His wife outshines more than him in events ,business and social life.. That's why most men rather marry women who are less successful and less exposed than them.. But whether anyone likes it or not these women are destined to shine more and more as the years go by..
More grease to marriage and career Funke.

Anyone can shine depending on career path.
Don't you see how Michelle shines more than Barack.

We love sensational stories in this country.That boy is a product of an ineffective system of Nigeria and there are thousands of him across the country.Kudos to Him by the way.We don't want one in a million Olajumokes or Him but we want a fair and non-corrupt system where every young child has an opportunity to fulfill potential not "someone find me that boy I want to sponsor Him".Imagine if the destiny of poor children waits till they are spotted by a good samaritan.

I will be a footballer in my next life

If its money you want, you want to be a Silicon Valley Tech entrepreneur or a hedge fund owner in your next life. These guys makes a top footballer look broke.

QuietHammer:
Why not dump the old testament then?

It's not about dumping the old testament, the problem is we have failed to understand the bible properly.All that is in the Old Testament points to Christ and His covenant of Grace which was to be revelaed.Thank Gid we live in that time. God hates sin and He will punish it.Every ordinance in the old testament was God trying to teach them about holiness but they failed as they can't attain it through works.
Is it snakes,goats gold etc God cares about but real holiness.The pharisee failed in this too as they were unconcerned about Jesus healing people on sabbath day,their own was to obey that Sabbath without even recognising the son of man.

UchaNwababa:
Until the Abolish Tithe and Offertory i will not take them Serious, I could remember when i was looking for a job and the so called Man of God pray for me after his prayer he told me that God instructed me to Pay a Bag of Rice in Return, i want to Ask Do God Eat Rice?

Thank you bro.Nigerians have been bamboozled by these people.There are curses on a lot ot things in the old covenant and not only on tithe but to Nigerians God only sure you when you don't pay tithe.

The funny thing is if you are under the law and it's blessing then when you break it you et the curses as well.Under New covenant there is grace and that does not mean we should abuse it but rather walk towards perfection is Christ.
The old covenant folks never had this gteay blessing. All we do is religion similar to the hold of the Catholic Church on people on the 12th 13th and 14th century.

QuietHammer:
Segregation is biblical.

38He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39And he commanded them to make all sit down by compa­nies upon the green grass.
40And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

Old covenant.
You belong to new covenant.Killing someone for a sin is biblical in old covenant.You go and kill someone now if you won't end up in jail.

An yet some people will say Money is not important in a Relationship.
#Money is Good
#The Rich are Significant anyday, anytime

Neoliberalism makes the rich significant.Don't worry they will say we should start paying for the air we breathe and all most masses will say is "I respect that man,He is a brain box"

Boy, if you ever disrespect the legend Fela again, Ama Bìtch smack you across the face soo fvcking hard from my screen.

That's what we are still saying,He is asking questions not disrespecting.

I thought they(Iranians) would see d Alakija family as infidels since they are Christians. Oh!! I forgot,money makes d world go round.

There is actually a part of Iran that are secular and are neither christian nor Muslim, I guess she's one for the fact that she did not cover her hair in the picture. I have an Iranian friend who told me this.He does not have a religion too.

goldtooth:
Consolidation of the oil money. I believe she is from an oil family too and he met her on a business trip to iran Arabs are fine sha

Iranians are Persians and not Arabs.

ItsQuinn:
My answer is NO .....how are you suppose to show your love without money?
Realistically.... in this world we live in, money is everything.
How are you suppose to go on dates, take the person out, buy gifts, support the person you love without money? Even money is involved when you want to get married, have and support your family. It's just unrealistic and impossible.

Maybe when you and your partner live in a jungle or in the Bush where money is not involved, it's very possible

You don't have to love someone before you buy gifts for them and take them out.Also,taking someone out should not solely be the justification of whether you love them. MOne has a place it should remain in that place.What about virtues such as character,sincerity,integrity etc
