KoshCAD:
Colonised lol, do you know the meaning of colonization?

Do you? The residents of Lagos, just as thise of Onitsha, paid dues to Benin.

But do let me know what your definition of colonization is.

Its a lovely day for comedy.

November24:
Gentle nonsense.
Pls say what you know.

The ife prince was Ekhaladerhan... A bini prince who sent oranminyan his son to reign

You dont seem too clever. Can you please tell me how what you said is different from what i said?

HeeBraHim2:
How Benin take own Lagos??.. Benin are Yoruba subgroup who are just proving to be prodigal son...... Their Forefathers migrated from Ife to settled down in the tiny bush.

Yoruba gives them the name they are bearing..... Bobrisky never represented the Yorubas... Because we are dey respect people a lot for here.... Unlike some fake Jews wey dey wake their papa with kick

Well, it is a fact - anthropologically proven that the Edo and Yoruba are separate groups who had interactions. The original settlers of Edo never came from Ife, but rather a prince from Ife settled in igodomigodo, the original name of the place.

As you have mentioned, the name of Benin (not Edo) was given by the same yoruba prince, who left the place in frustration, naming it ile ibinu, meaning house of anger.

So, no the edoid peoples are not a yoruba sub-group. Please don't repeat that outside.

But yes, the Edo did colonise Lagos, and it may interest you to know that the name Eko is derived from a bini word that means village.

SmartPolician:
That dude doesn't look like the groom. He's probably the bestman or someone important in the groom's team.

If that be the case, I think the bride is just trying to maintain some decency in her wedding, knowing very well that a cameraman is filming everything.

I think she knows that she has wayward friends and doesn't want them to display their madness in her wedding reception. Consequently, she stopped the lady from rocking the dude.

An observant chap you are sir!

It was obvious that she separated the first time but did not herself rock the guy - and separated again after the girl refused to hear word

LadyExcellency:
Which Governor has been arrested by US police amid all Executive rascalism?

Except on corruption, no State Executive can be arrested anywhere in the word for trying alternative dispute resolution.

According to Nigerian Constitution, the Governor has a final say on land in the State with good reasons and payments of compensation. Moreover, this issue was done by past military regime.

Nonsense!

Mercychen:
Yes. You have a problem with that?

He already saw in my CV that im computer literate and could work with Excell and Access, coupled with my work experience as a data entry clerk and TIL manager. So he wanted to know if I'm familiar with the brand about to work with.

See, many of you think interviews are always straight forward where you're only tested on the post you're applying for and that is why many fail because they are not vast. So when they are asked to do things outside their field, they get stucked.

It was just an observation, not here to quarrel with you madam.

And you certainly cannot lecture me on interviews - I am frequently on the other side of the interview table. You know, the side where the decisions get taken.

Good day.

Mercychen:
Mmmm... How about embossing the Logo? It makes it more appealing. Then, never blur out a text. You want people to be able to read your text. So, the blurry text is a no no.


Try using wordArt text for your titles. Use the tilting text with really bold letters. They appear better that way.

Chai! Reminds me of my days in computer school, learning graphic designs with Corel draw. We did shegey with graphics. Pepsi logo and all.

I remember an interview at Guinness. I was asked to design a Guinness logo, I wowed the chairman and got the job as a data entry clerk. Memories.

Imagine that..you wowed the chairman with your graphics skills and got a data entry job.

Nigeria.

illicit:
Next thing he will mention cow....

That reporter missed a golden opportunity.

The president said only 2.5% of Nigeria's agricultural potential is being maximized. But is the president not aware that people cannot go to the farm these days thanks to his herdsmen friends?

@Mynd44

"The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, would appreciate if the coalition of the Governors will help to unravel the circumstances preventing the Lagos State Government from enforcing the court order despite several attempts from 2012- 2015 and so-called settlement initiative started in 2016. Some of the cardinal pillars of democratic Government are the doctrine of separation of powers and obedience to the rule of law inclusive of Court Orders."

Isn't it amazing? Today they flagrantly violate the rule of law with egregious disobedience to court orders but tomorrow they want to protect the rule of law and demand obeisance to the Courts.

Are you still defending the lawless nature of this government now that it is clear that they wish to uphopld the rule of law after all?

Jeromejnr:
Now the same people bashing FG will be the same people shining their teeth at trying to apply for a job at a Nigerian Twitter office.

Herd mentality and emotionalism is the bane of many Nigerians.

I must say, this is one of the few moments when I have been proud of the Nigerian government.

So after reading through NovesaTillie's thread https://www.nairaland.com/6909608/celebrating-one-year-abstinence-sugary#108790773
Two weeks ago, I decided to go on the same journey starting this year.

For this reason, I consumed more than my usual weekly dose of Coca-Cola and Pepsi (maximum of 4) no thanks to the festive season free drinks here and there.

Unfortunately, thirty five minutes (01/01/2022 12:35am) into the new year after screaming happy new year and saying hello to few friends and family over the phone, I was already downing a very cold bottle of Pepsi to cool my head before I realized I just broke my major resolution for this year.

Mr Dj please play Timaya "I can't kill myself"


Lalatiscl.ala, myn.d44 and the rest of the Nairaland family Happy New Year. I hope I am not the only one in this situation.

but you are actually killing yourself

Icepresh:
Coding or Programming. Which is better to learn and easier ?

To get a better answer, what do you think coding is and what do you think programming is?

The reality is that code is used to write programs. There is no difference at all.

Rapmoney:
I have a friend who is not a member of this forum. He's been seeking advice from circle of friends as to which business to invest in as a new year is about to start. His budget is 600k. Below are the choices:

1. Music production studio
2. Autorevamp shop (panel beating and spraying)
3. Driving school
4. Pig farming

He has skill in the first and second businesses above. Which do you think would be more lucrative and fulfilling?

Thanks as we expect good advice from brothers and sisters here.

Pls mods, help move to front page.

One of the first rules of investment - never plough your money into a business you do not have knowledge in. Logically, the deeper your expertise, the better your prospects.

I am hiring one or two tech writers.

Pay will start at 5 naira per word in the first month but I am open to negotiating with the most suitable candidates thereafter.

3. Ability to deliver 1000 words daily - without fail


Candidates with Upwork profiles will have an advantage as this will facilitate payment. This is not required, however.

Interested writers should send their CV along with 2 samples of previous writing, and a 300-word mini-article on the advantages of using a headless CMS to techhire11@gmail.com.

Kindly note that the 300-word mini-article will not be used and will therefore be unpaid. If this is an issue for you, DO NOT CONTACT ME as there are no exceptions to this rule.

I have extremely strong reservations about this. I hope they arent playing some game with us.

Beblessedbaba:
I so much like your husband. A very sensible man; you want to bring children into the world without proper planning on how to cater for them.

He has asked for patience for you guys to sort things out first. Madam better be calming down. By the way, you married a very focused and responsible man.

I do not understand what you mean that age is not on your side at 32. Please don't plunge this young man into 3rd level generational poverty (his parents got nada & his grandparents were peasant) rather divorce him quickly and either marry a man who is ready to be popping children year in year out. Pity his ancestors as this young man out of the millions that we have has taken a better route instead of ritualism called Yahoo or scam that will still end of messing his later years up or cut down his life in it's prime or mortgage his children fortune.

NB: Do we even wonder why the Babalawo or Dibia that does juju or fetish rituals for Yahoo boys does not do likewise for his own children or himself. The answer is flowing in the wind.

The husband is wise but there should be common sense added to wisdom. That is to say, given the state of Nigeria today, who says his professional certificates can land him a better job than that of 100k? Since this outcome is not guaranteed or even likely, he should not forgo having children since the opportunity cost is higher.

His wife is 32 - it is a medical fact that her biologicial clock is ticking. Childbearing will get riskier and more prone to complications.

A joint income of 170 k, meanwhile, is enough to raise a child provided they continue to spend wisely.

michlins:
These players who made it big as footballers rarely succeed as coaches

of course they do.

Zidane?
Guardiola?
Deschamps?

In fact, the opposite is the case. It is rare to find successful coaches who did not make it big as players. It is just that when a high profile ex player, usually a recent retiree, fails, it is morenewsworthy.

magicminister:
Kudos to the good Nigerians.
I used to be comfortable being rich and taking care of my family but I’ve come to realize until we have a thriving country, we are all poor!!! No matter how much dangote has, he’s a poor man!’

How did you arrive at your conclusion? Just curious

femicyrus:
defensive midfielder who featured 14 times in season and was substituted about 6 times?

And what is wrong with playing 14 times and being substituted 6 times?

And this is while playing at the highest level, in the premiership, for a new club. Now, which other defensive midfielder can be taken as a backup to Ndidi?

Did you start watching football today?

femicyrus:
plus Daniel akpeyi the basket and frank onyeka who has no goal nor assist this season will leave us with 23 men for the list to be ok

What is a defensive midfielders business with goal and assist?

CSTRR:
I actually went to go and read the quote, that was exactly what he meant.

It was a thinly veiled shot to the oil producing states of the Niger Delta.

Your president is responsible for a lot of the hate in the polity.

I actually see this as a thinly veiled shot at the niger delta agitators rather than the States.

DubaiLandLord:
How can the president open his mouth and say this kin provocating word

If not for the pollution it will cause, I wont have mind if the militants can unleash hell on every oil installation, make we see how Bauchi and Gombe oil go dey carry the 36 states and FCT.

If only Southern Politicians and some Politicians in the middle belt can sit together and agree to expel almost all the states in the North East and North West from Nigeria or make we leave the name Nigeria for them.

Definitely not a buhari fan in any wag but to be fair, the bolded is the journalist's own synopsis and Buhari didnt say that

Hintona:
What is wrong with saying fat

This isn't America, in Asian countries and most European countries fat is fat.

My friend doesn't appreciate it when she's called chubby or any of those "politically correct" words

Whats wrong is that describing your friend wasnt relevant in anyway to the point you were making.
You probably feel better about yournownnlooks while next to your friend.

wale0911:
Takeaways;
1. She kept lying it wasn't a cat and was even trying to claim some invasion of privacy- loose
2. The air hostess and (captain) were very calm and did a good job trying to pls both the complainant and the accused until the truth was established
3. Funny side, (maybe some witch turned her baby into a cat, that's perhaps the reason for her insistence)

[s]Lastly, it wasn't a real cat after all. She's just a trouble maker[/s]

Lastly it is a skit.

chosengocap:
You are daft. It's a Lynx. A real Lynx

Be quiet. That is a skit and that animal is a stuffed animal.

ceejay10:
you are the one who shouldn't be commenting on issues you have no idea about. You keep confusing yourself. Are we not talking about practice here? Practically no bail is returned in Nigeria. Be it court or police. You can rest now. Do we practice concepts of the law in Nigeria? Your guess is as good as mine. Have a nice day.

Mr. Man, you clearly are the one without the slightest clue of what you are talking about. That is why I asked you for your credentials of which you clearly have none.

I am at least a lawyer in a commonwealth country with a nearly identical legal system to Nigeria. I can tell you that it is unheard of anywhere in the world for the government to keep your bail money. Even the idea of it is ridiculous. Bail is intended to be an incentive to ensure that an accused person keeps attending their trial. If the accused persons knew upfront that would not get their bail money back, where is the incentive? How would the legal system have survived with accused persons never then came to court?

Your entire argument is that this is Nigeria therefore the system doesn't work. However, the legal system clearly works, even if it has flaws, which is why people get arrested, go to court, get sentenced, and go to jail. Your argument in this bail issue is currently comparable to someone insisting that people who are sentenced to jail in Nigeria simply go home because this is Nigeria and the legal system is not working.

you have zero authority on this subject so while I, out of modesty, give some room to allow for some variance from the law -- in practice, I can tell you on a logical and legal basis that bail is not kept by any government anywhere. What you are alleging here is that billions of naira are collected and channeled to unknown government sources with no one at all, discovering this fraud.

That would make it the largest fraud to ever go unnoticed in the 21st century.

But of course, being a legal professional, I allow room for your alternative argument, provided you have proof that the government keeps bail money. Of which you have none.

Ogbeni keep your good day.

ceejay10:
the judiciary is still an arm of the government. The bail money stays with the government, whether police or court. Nothing like refund to the accused. Police don ever refund bail money to anybody before? Not in Nigeria.

What are your credentials to comment on this topic? Are you a lawyer? Have you worked in the Courts system?
I ask because you keep mixing basic concepts.

Again, I said this is Court bail which is very different from Police bail.

As I told you before police bail is meant to be free. The money police collect is fraudulent and of course, it is not returned.

The money the Courts collect is a guarantee not a payment and anyone who makes such deposit is entitled to receive their money back by law. As to what happens in practice I do not know but if you don't understand these basic concepts stop commenting on the issue.

ceejay10:
the money stays with police and government. Nothing like refund to accused. Na naija you dey o.

We are talking about Court bail. Has nothing to do with the police whatsoever. There is a difference between police bail (free) and Court bail.

Rugaria:
"Recruiting young engineers across the nation" you say? Is Bauchi and Kano " the nation" or is it "across the North"? You lay hundred of kilometers of pipes to load crude oil from the East to your CBN funded refinery in Lagos. You won't go to Bauchi to lay pipelines for crude, neither will you go to Kano... But when it comes to job opportunities in this sector, you first focus on those you consider as "your people"!

This is the kind of One Nigeria they desperately want. You have all the jobs at the Ministry of Petroleum. All the jobs at NNPC and PPMC. All the jobs in the Customs and Army and Police and all that.... Now this... What are Eastern youths from where this resources are being exploited supposed to do? Go to Malaysia and Cambodia to hussle. Abi? While you and your brothers from the desert inherit the earth?
It won't work like that na..

Just read the letter like a reasonable and logical man.

Clearly, the headline is a total misrepesantation of the contents.

What the letter simply shows is that the students from that school have been invited to join the pool of applicants. No more.

ceejay10:
returned where? You must be joking

Since you have more information, kindly explain -- in detail -- exactly where the money goes.
