How long does it normally take before the car gets to Nigeria?

Hows 600k?/

How long have you got before the car arrives?

2busy can you send me pictures of that car to milas40@yahoo.com.

WillyWilly enough of this  rant. This is a Nigerian problem and it will be absurd for you to make it a particular ethnic group's problem. You almost sound like you are bitter because you csnnot go into that business.

This a refreshing change from norm. No one should be above the law, no matter who you are.

@ Poster, judging from the way you wrote this article, is it safe to conclude that your visit was your first out of Nigeria??

There is no basis for comparisons between Benin Republic and Nigeria. Cotonou as a national Capital is at best a shithole. We tend to look at other countries from a rosy tinted glass. The roads are not that fantastic when there are compared with what you have in Abuja, Accra and Abidjan.

The Indian culture as a whole is highly prejudicial against any dark skinned person. Marrying an Indian when you are not one can be very dangerous. A few have done it and have lasted the test of time but majority fail because as a foreigner, you are most likely never to be accepted, in the UK for e.g, you or your partner will be subject to a lot of embarrasments, even in the public. In my case, someone spat on my GF and I h ad to smack the hell out of him. This goes on and on, It makes you question if its really worth it.

My point is, it is not impossible but it is an extremely difficult situation to walk into.

I think the problem here is not just the fact that there very few good rappers in Nigeria. I think it is a problem of trying to to find a balance between American hip hop and our African culture. Since there is no written guideline on that, I guess this guys will keep doing what they are doing till the art becomes evolved.

Massive fan of Coldplay, and lil dose of Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon, Nickleback, Gun N Roses, Ting Tings, Blur, etc. Thats as far as my experimentation with Rock goes.

Prick.

Earthmama is that all? You seem to always speak from both sides of your mouth. Whats your stand on this?

Blame it on the Tall Israelis running the music i ndustry today (BET, MTV,etc). Everything has been commercialized so it only makes sense for them to push quantity and not quality.

Jay ('You can pay for school but you cant buy Swag') definitely got more swag than anybody else in the game period.

@ Poster stop shitting on yourself, please go and learn some English , it helps.

Things will definitely go back to normal after a while. This na initial gra gra,

I still maintain the Governor has his priorities misplaced. How is the CCTV system going  to prevent or deter crime Reason I ask is that here in the UK for example there are already a lot of things set in place to make this work like quick Police Intervention time, Databases, etc. These enabling factors are lacking in Nigeria presently.  The other problem will be cost of maintenance of such a massive project (CCTV officers, CCTV Maintenance,etc) since it will have no way of generating income on its own.  I am not being cynical but I think the only way this is going to work is if it used as a Traffic controlling system like in the UK (Gatso) and that also poses a lot of problems too.

This issue has taken enough beating,

Magz u need to change your dealer  seriously, whatever his giving you right now is messed up.

@ Dipsyn, Point noted, regardless of what you or I say the Government are still going to do whatever they want  to do. As for cutting them some slack, sure i do not always criticize their moves. just the ones i feel that are not going to benefit a lot of the citizenry.

@ Bronx,  if you had cared to read what i wrote, you wont find where I said it wont work, what i said was that this isn't the   biggest problem facing Lagos right now. Things need to be placed in order of priorities, don't get it mixed up. And ow, I am not asking for you to concur, i have this feeling you are simply taking your stance for the sake of it and not necessarily backed by any informed reason,

It is really strange that for some people being patriotic means never looking at things without attaching and coloring it with emotions. We are all here because we identify with Nigeria one way or the other. This is not a competition about who loves Nigeria the most.

I think this is a case of misplaced priorities. No doubt Fashola has good intentions but I think there are more pressing projects that need his attention than this 'eye service', cheap PR seeking antics.

Another stupid Ponzi scheme.

Plies is mad corny. Same goes to Young Berg/

Its a brilliant idea, I have been planning to do something like this for a very long time but never had the time, well someone else just stole my thunder lol.

Nobi small thing o

I think Sorius Somura (i hope I got the name right) has done something like that on CNN, following Africans immigrants from Morocco to Europe. I actually think the poster should finish the story so that people intending to embark on this journey will see how tough it is.

The thing tire me o

They seem to think they are doing him a favor by making him their Parish Priest.
