To think that the guys that were protecting these machines at the airport are ostensibly better than the ones that'll guard the ballot boxes during the elections is just so sickening.

Sharrraap jare! The same security agents under whose indolent nose the theft was effected or the FBI?

Like GEJ's life is safe

Lets be realistic

We are a nation of cowards

We are all talk, no action

Revolution ko, revolution ni.

The only revolution you will ever get is from Pastor Adeboye; And it goes somehow like this; Obey your leaders because God installed them and only God should decide how they are removed.

We're more like a nation of selfish people. Go to the creek and see guys fighting for their right. It is those greedy Niger-Delta leaders that take bribe and sell their people by keeping quiet. The greedy Niger-Delta leaders are the reason that region is so exploited and undeveloped.

@Bluetooth: Capitalism is fine. But you don't go into business with a partner who is looking to stab you in the back. This is basically what Shell is. In truth, I don't think we can find any partner who will not stab us in the back, if they have the chance. So rather than giving this 50% share to any one individual, why not split it among 5 individuals who hate each other?

Let Venezuela be one of the five, Shell be another, Russia a third, China a 4th, Brazil a 5th. Rather than all of it in Western hands.

+1. But don't think the government is blind to this way of thinking. The truth is Shell will lose billions of dollars if this happens. That is why they spend a few million dollars on their spies who kick against ideas like this. The truth is without the help of some greedy Nigerians, Shell won't be able to milk us as much as they're doing now.

And the Islamic revolution in the  70s corrected that. We need a violent revolution here too, whether Islamic or hedonistic we need one.

Just this morning while discussing the stolen DDC machines with my father, he said GEJ's not going to do anything as the president unless he shoots all the corrupt rulers of the past a la Jerry Rawlings.

Are you ready to die?

Talk with no action , mumu

It is that fear of death that makes the dead better than us, sometimes.

The worst part is that nothing will be done about this. At most Dora will talk some crap about how unreliable Wikileaks is and how we should ignore enemies of Nigeria and move-on. The illiterate, senile men in the hallowed chambers will make a little fuss about summoning the whole B.O.D of Shell (dead and living) . . . then they'd go on Xmas break and come back next year to see new cases of scam seeking their attention.

Abeg sharrrap there jor. Nonsense. Everyday we have a new reason to regret being Nigerians. What a shame!

Thank God!

Difference between to frame sb [/b]up and [b]to set sb up

I want to believe we misused both and need to unlearn.

Tricky. I think set-up is deadlier than frame-up. Set-up involves tricking some body and/or making it seem like they've done something wrong. Eg. A woman calls you to fix the radio in her bedroom, you enter the bedroom and she tears her cloth and holds you, screaming that you've rap€d her! Frame-up involves producing false evidence to make people believe that a person is guilty of a crime. Eg. A neighbour steals your gun and uses it for murder, the forensic test shows the weapon belongs to you and you're charged for murder. You've been framed-up. The major difference I see here is that set-up establishes a direct link between the act and the accused by having the accused at the crime-scene, while a false evidence implicates the accused in the case of a set-up. The accused may not necessarily be there.

I use I'd like to stop/get off here. The second one has already been treated here; it's vigil. For the last one, I use to 'keep wake'.

The noun form is 'wake'.

POSER
1.What do we say when alighting from a taxi or Okada? I'd like to drop here or get off here?

2.Which one is correct:Vigil/night vigil?

3.Which one is/are correct:Wake keep/Wake keeping/Wakeful night/Wake?

I use I'd like to stop/get off here. The second one has already been treated here; it's vigil. For the last one, I use to 'keep wake'.

i appreciate myself first and also slap 1, amaka

I appreciate you, too!

Ewooo! I forgot Mr. Cork. The funniest goat on Nairaland with compulsive nyansh-and-punny disorder. Cork, how far?

Jarus, Ola Olabiy, Seun, (they rarely insult people). Specialist900, Stevetboy, Jay bee, 190. Odunnu, Googles, Tpiah, iice, Inked-Nerd, Ileke-Mgbeke-Idi (putting my money together for any of them, intelligent gals, I tell ya), Omolola, Freecocoa, Ifyalways, Rubi, Busy Body, Ishit4body, Madlady (she said I'm cool, once). Then my chair-throwing bros Beaf, Bluetooth, PhysicsQED, Excanny, Bkbabe97, EzeUche, Andre Uweh, etc. Happy Xmas in advance y'all!

Even though this is a funny joke, it's not really beyond our law-makers to effect.

Lol, nobody wants to nominate. Ok, I nominate myself. . . slap1.

Chai, R.I.P.

It will be a tragedy for you alone and a tragi-comedy for people like me.

PDP is getting to the end of the tether. I like this! If GEJ wins, Atiku will leave. If Atiku wins, GEJ will leave.

They've been plotting since the days of the Late Yar'Adua, all to no avail. The only thing they can plot sucessfully is a coup, lol.

Get us a link.

Had to be killed by who? And was he killed after Ojukwu justified his being killed or he'd already been killed when Ojukwu justified his death? You said earlier that Ojukwu was the main factor (or something like that) in the death of Wiwa. How so? By justifying his death after he'd been killed?

Odunnu:
Its really embarrassing atimes. I look younger than my age and people dnt respect me(lol).Imagine jambites asking me for my number (as in,they are chyking their mate).

When gals that are about 8 years younger flock around me I laugh. When I talk they'd be like "wow! He talks like an old man!" They always think I'm their mate. Some call my younger sister  "aunty" and call me by my name, lol. I'm beginning to enjoy it.

Side-stool.

So wetin come concern devil?

Me likey! I wish we can have something like in the South East.

jonnex:
any gift for we nairalanders?

Yeah! I suggest a ban.

CyberG:
LOL. . .which one is Tapioca again??  

We call it npataka in Igbo. It's a product of cassava, used to make 'abacha' or African salad.

Girls 'form' some times, too. A girl was in a bus with her food flask, going to work. The bus conductor wanted to adjust the flask in order to close the door. The girl rebuked her severly, asking if he knew the amount/quality/price of food in that flask. The guy left the flask. The girl got to her bus-stop and came down from the bus. Just then she slipped and fell, the contents of the flask spilled out. And guess what it was?  . . . Soaked Tapioca and palm kernel !

most visited website in Nigeria but yet still the same lame/boring page layout and design for the past five years?! they say progress comes slow but in nairalands case, it dont seem to be coming at all. mr Osewa kindly take note.

Seun had actually introduced a new page layout a while back which some of ur rejected, rooting for the current one instead. Why don't you design something new for us, enh?
