Enyia, O gini?

RIP, Bobsam. I pray your family gets the strength to move on. . .
All these collapsing and dying on the pitch sef. . .

The gown looks like a parachute. I love parachutes!

Obviously the process was so flawed that some people who weren't nominated for the award got it. This country needs to be merged with Iran.

$30M! And people will readily label the PDP as corrupt and useless? What was Tinubu's worth before he governed Lagos? Nsogbu di kwa!

TRUTHTELA:
IGNORANCE UNLIMITED, If you ever think Soyina is better than Achebe. Every informed Nigerian, knows how Soyinka got his NOBLE peace prize ( IT WAS BECAUSE HE BELONGS THE SAME FRATERNITY with the founder of NOBLE). and how he associates with corrupt govts in Nigeria. and when they fail to do his BIDDINGS he'll be criticizing them in the media. Soyinka, was the pioneer chairman of FRSC. Soyinka, is a typical ( HYPCOCRITE) yourba man, Soyinka, has done well for himself & will never match the achievements of ACHEBE. I have more respect for Gani, than Soyinka. Achebe? do you know how much of him the world crave for? I have US & european friends that have read & still keep a copy of his EVERGREEN, THINGS FALL APART. Two presidents have begged achebe for a national award & he turned it down. Soyinka never had such an opportunity. Achebe's literature is INDISPENSIBLE globally & have stood the taste of time. Same cannot be said of Soyinka's writing. Be honest to youurselves and GOOGLE their records.

Bro, I don't agree with you at all! Did you study literature at all? Did you read Soyinka? How can you say that he didn't deserve the Nobel? And which fraternity are you talking about? Your post epitomizes ignorance on a fresh, exclusive level.

There's still no basis for comparison. Achebe is great, so is Awojobi. Those saying they've never heard of Awojobi should know that the man died long ago, that's why you may need Google. In thirty or forty years' time, our children may need Google to know Achebe, Soyinka, et al. Most of us know about Gadaffi and Idi Amin, but we don't know about Pol Pot.

You know how much we pay in US, $20.

Custom tags is $35.


Do you till want to know why?

Yes. I can't see the value of it. What's the money gonna be used for in Nigeria?

Oh dear! What in Seun's name is this joke doing on the homepage? What is Nairaland turning into?

He can always go with another political party, can't he? He should take this as a challenge, run with another with another party and give the PDP a good fight.

Na wa o! What's going to happen to the money they're supposed to send home for Xmas?

Misleading topic.Speculations and delibrations;nothing more.

Btw,Ogboko does not have the capacity of carrying a university YET.Aside the Rochas free secondary school located there,the place is pretty much isolated.If anyone is thinking of taking a Uni. there,s/he is in for a huge infrastructural work.

Why do the want to move the school from its current location

The school is located in the heart of the town where there is practically limited room for expansion. There are no hostels in the schools, students live off camp where their lives are not monitored in any form, giving rise to cultism, rap£, robbery and other egregious behaviours. Relocating to a rural community where there's land will enable reasonable expansion to occur, make the students more contained, reduce cultism and even develop the host community.

Not really. Some guys are just happy to be the one to open the dam, then they move on. Others think virgins are to be trusted.
To each their own, I've known 'virgins' that give BJs to guys.

Rush now while offers last!

Reuben Abati. . .how I dislike that name!

RIP, but I'm with Ileke on this, people should learn to party less, especially in Nigeria where it's risky to be out by even 7PM in some places.
And they may have been drunk. Sad, sad, sad. RIP!

Let's compare Baba Suwe and Gov. Rochas Okorocha, constructively.

Ladies fight over their men regularly. It may be physical or verbal, but it's a fight all the same. Sometimes they don't even fight the intruding lady; they fight their man, which I think is even more effective.

Thanks for the help, Bill. Now sharraap!

Jonathan will go for a second term.

SALT.
Didn't like how it ended. Angelina Jolie was potrayed as immortal.

So it's now a crime not to prostrate when greeting? Nollywood should unite and deal with the egotistic chairman.

Another Bomb Blast Injures Four In Bauchi!


KANO (AFP) – A roadside bomb exploded in the city of Bauchi, injuring four people, the latest in a series of attacks to hit the region in recent months, police said Saturday.

“There was a bomb blast in Wuntin-dada suburb of the city in which four people were injured,” Bauchi State police spokesman Mohammed Barau told AFP.

He said the incident happened Friday evening as workers were returning home.

“The bomb which was planted by the roadside went off as people were closing for the day. Forensic experts have been conducting investigation into the incident and bomb fragments have been taken to Abuja for analysis,” he said.

Barau said no arrests had been made and it was too early to blame any group for the incident.

The radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram has been blamed for scores of bomb and gun attacks in Nigeria, including the capital, Abuja.

The sect claimed responsibility for the August suicide bombing of the UN headquarters in Abuja which killed at least 24 people and coordinated attacks in the country’s northeast last week that left some 150 people dead.

Una no go kill pesin wit laff!

Epiphany:
+1: I totally agree

When IBB dies, he will die peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by ministers, former heads of state and maybe even the serving head of state (or at least, a serving VP). He will be given a state burial, that day will be declared a holiday and like Kobo says, the worms will come out of the woodwork on Nairaland to praise the man.

'Afterall, this TRULY, is Nigeria!

That's mere lip service, it can't be from the heart. You can't compare his burial with MKO or Gani's, but let him die first.

Don't bet on it.

I'm mostly amused by it. But when Becomrich and Mr. Cork makes blunders, I understand that they've tried their best.

'Make blunders'.
