Nice pictures.
It's a shopping mall for kenyan elites,so i am not surprised.

cashkid18: is d white men brain different frm dt of d black men cuz whyte men have always bin ahead of d blackmen in terms of technology or was it d same GOD dt created both race

you would be surprised to find out that Nigerians were hugely involved in the creation of the killer-machine.

Atleast they have an underground drainage system.

ba7man: Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.

With what comes out of G.E.J's mouth.............I'll leave you to complete that.

Our past leaders have all been crap but that's no reason to let our standards fall.

Letting your standards fall?
Really?
When compared to OBJ,YAR'ADUA and even buhari,GEJ is far better in presentation and sophistication.
How then are you "letting your standards fall"?

dridowu: I respect the office of d president so no comment for now but for the presi saying that Nigeria deserve to be in security council then that must be the joke of the year

The only seat available to any African nation is a non-permanent seat,and Nigeria has just been nominated to represent Africa in a non-permanent role twice in 3 years under GEJ's administration.
It means that when/if a permanent seat opens for Africa, Nigeria would be one of the favourites for that position.
The joke is on you,bro.

Effwazobia: Sir, do you remember the following phrases. " I dey Kampe", God punish your papa, na your papa be jagajaga", "na your toro be that". The list can go on an on. Mind you, he always wore his traditional Yoruba outfits on diplomatic trips (never saw him in suit. the same goes for Buhari who is even a worse speaker than both GEJ and OBJ). I brought OBJ into the convo because he was a president, that did two terms, visited the US, and also not your most articulate speaker, and yet yall did not go hoarse online criticizing him. Nobody complained about the traditional Hausa and Yoruba outfits that our past leaders always wore to diplomatic trips, but here we are talking nasty about GEJ South South outfit. There is just a whole lot of double standards which feeds the notion that there is something else causing the hatred of GEJ

Oga yall need to search your souls well for the real reasons why yall don't like this man. In my humble opinion, it ain't because of his bad diction, speech, outfit or his personality. But rather because he is from the South South and ended up in the presidency.

My advice is that yall need to get use to the man, because you will be seeing a whole lot of him. 5 years of seeing somebody that you can't stand will be a nightmare. So it is about time we start getting use to him.

I am not from the South South, I am Igbo by the way, so I am being objective here

Thank you.
It's only someone who is naieve that will not know that GEJ's critics on NL are tribalists.
How low can you get when you insult the president for his accent and cultural dress-sense.
And the irony of it all is that, GEJ is the better speaker when compared to OBJ and buhari.

hillsate: Guys, even if they were not laughing at Mr president, Do you think they'd be laughing and sharing a joke if it were President Obama talking?
From the picture, they had more important things to discuss than whatever the president was saying.
They would have been rapt with attention even if it were Obasanjo talking.
What happened to us?
(Gi)ant of africa?

This is absolute nonsense and you know it.
You and your thread are jokes.

Pls can someone tell me if buhari the heavily-accented hausa fulani is a better speaker than GEJ.
2)What is the correlation between oratory and performance?

2015 will be a very interesting year.
I expect many of these APC goons to go on exile when GEJ wins.

Move this thread to the frontpage.

[quote author=Olu'tokun]Pally, you should mind your language. My decision to hit or not to hit a woman should not determine how you address me. If I see you hit a woman, it's not enough to call you names...it's just what you've chosen to do. I repeat: I will never hit a woman unless my life it threatened. Gaskiya![/quote]Go and check your earlier post and see what you wrote.
You said you would rather disarm the woman or hide for cover instead of hitting her,which i think is very morønic.
Why are you now changing your statement?

shymexx: Definitely not worth celebrating without a good structure. The huge population is the biggest factor here, however, what's the point of having the biggest economy with no infrastructures; poor banking structure; no middle-class and huge gap between rich and poor; no security etc.?

In other news: my shabby house with poor architecture and no plastering that's rodents ridden is also about to become the biggest house on my street. I need to celebrate!!

If i say you don't know Nigeria,you will start crying.
Nigeria has the largest middle-class in Africa and our banking structure is not poor.
Probably one of the best in Africa,after southafrica.

Wisdytech: Public Hearing! Public Exposure!!
I wanna hear USA to Launch Drone Attack on Boko Haram or USA to Support Nigerian Army with Technology to Fight BH. Thats All

you want to see american drones violating our air-space and massacreing our children like in pakistan.?
Are you sure you are Nigerian?

They can hold all the "public hearings" they want.
Who cares?
I don't want to see any arm of the american military in Nigeria.
Let them go and face russia and assad.
Arrogant idiots.

[quote author=Olu'tokun]The only situation close to an exception is if the guy's life is really threatened and there's nowhere to retreat to for cover. Even then, the man should only make moves to protect himself and/or to disarm her (if she's carrying a weapon). Women are not meant to be hit...no matter how nasty they get![/quote]you won't hit a woman even when she is armed and a risk to your life?
My God!!
Where do all these morøns come from?

[quote author=maxwello.yg]This fight is gradually getting messier.
I wonder how it would turn out to be afterall.
Obviously, the militants possess military weapons more deadlier than those possessed by the Nigerian Military.
I give up on the Nigerian Military. We aren't in the 50's anylonger.[/quote]Morøn.

Ayekotoo: maybe I didn't put it well. FG is reducing the allocations when she supposed to be increasing it. period

Let the states look for ways to increase their IGR and stop this overdependence on the FG.
Afterall,many of the states are powerful enough to threaten and blackmail the FG.

Ayekotoo: this is where you all are getting it wrong. south Africans know better that's why they are buying and having stake in major Nigerian companies and also penetrating into our market whereas same can't be said of Nigeria. Nigeria can only replicate this with other small countries in Africa.

I don't think it really matters.
China became an economic giant because there were a receipent of huge investments from countries like japan.
Infact many manufacturing companies in china are owned by foreigners.
And it makes sense to explore smaller african countries given the fact that the south-african population has being significantly explored by western companies.

Sterling Towers: I thought pascal dozie is the owner of empty hen. Okay may be the upper torso beating guys have as usual been publishing fibs.

He is the chairman of MTN Nigeria.

FreeGlobe: I was never mistaken when I called you a fool. The same awards oceanic bank and intercontinental were winning left right and center before folding before our faces or Glo that is not even top 10 operator in Africa? Anywhere why do I keep replying an illiterate like you. keep believing these beer parlour gists to make you feel good about your low life fool.

You are a morøn.
Check out the capitalization base of banks like GTB ,ZENITH,FIRST BANK and compare it with their south-african counterparts,you will find out that they are not doing badly at all.
Don't bring morønic statements here and use them as argument.
Btw,intercontinental bank was a very strong bank,crippled by corruption and sharp practices of its owners.

Toktee: Why are you been economical with the truth,a country with almost two hundred millions and u managed to mention only three but private companies,i was hoping to hear something like arewa textile kaduna,badegi rice processing company,benue cement company,ajaokuta steel company,abodone core mine in enugu etc.
And i was thinking that u will be honest enough to tell me nd anybdy that may be interested to know the level of poverty and unemployment in nigeria.

you don't expect me to start listing all the multi-national Nigerian owned companies that are doing very well.
Even the moribund textile companies are being rescusitated.
Yes,there is poverty and unemployment in Nigeria as well as in Africa and other parts of the world,but then there is also a significant growth and improvement in living standards.
For a country of our size,we need a growth of atleast 11% annually for the next 10 years to drastically reduce poverty and create enough jobs.

FreeGlobe: What a fool. You think its by being a local champion. Why not place these banks and companies side by side with their south african counterparts lets see how well they measure up. I'm tired of engaging illiterates on nairaland. These kind of articles has been flying around for ages now and still nothing on ground.

you are a morøn.
GTB won the best bank in Africa twice in a row with one of the biggest capitalization base of an African owned bank.
Globacom is expanding on the continent rapidly,though not yet as big as the relatively more experienced MTN,but it is growing and breaking new frontiers and they are also the first telecommunication company in africa to adopt submarine technology.
Dangote cement is the biggest cement industry in Africa.
Nigerian brewries is probably Africa's biggest brewery company and there are many more examples of Nigerian companies competitiveness in Africa.
Go and get a proper education before engaging me in a debate.

FreeGlobe: if this beer parlor gist is what you call macro economic research then your a bigger fool than I thought. How many homegrown multinational companies has Nigeria raised to caused the above? Not when South African companies keep expanding and gaining base in Nigeria. You will keep peddling this gist while the status quo remain the same for a long time.

How many home-grown companies Nigeria has?
You've not heard of GLO,DANGOTE Group, GTB,ZENITH, FIRST BANK NEST OIL,CONOIL,e.t.c. and their expansion on the continent.?
Rossikke is correct.
You're arrogantly ignorant.

Ayekotoo: South Africans are buying up major investments in the country to support and move their economy higher to where Nigeria can never attain. These falseful patriots are cooking up propaganda all over the media.

Nigerian companies are also buying up businesses in west and central africa and just recently east africa.
My only worry is that this may create a "cold war" between Nigeria and south-africa for the control of Africa's economy.

Mscheww.

CAMEROONPRIDE: so we should put our life at risk because of some oyinbo tourists? Please I'm ready to give them the remaining one they should go with them and visit them over there nonsense. Why did they(onyibo) kill all the wolves? We want roads and infrastructures .Africa is not a zoo .where we are supposed to maintain the wildlife and slow down our development . Go check our Brazilian are cutting the Amazonian forest daily? Yet they will come and tell u that u shouldn't cut trees or u should preserve your forest.

Very well then,kindly poach whatever lions you can get in cameroon and send them to any game reserves or university in Nigeria.
I am sure they would reward you handsomely.

CAMEROONPRIDE: Oo please spare us what's their utility? Do you know how many people die daily in Tanzania because of those beasts?

Do you know that some east-african countries sustain their economy on tourism?
guess which animal people want to see the most.
LIONS.

Black Human: I don't know if I should call this good news or bad news...though, I would've really loved it if it were snakes going extinct . snakes are dangerous animals. lions are dangerous too, but atleast they won't crawl inside your compound.

why should snakes go extinct,you selfish man.
Are humans the only ones to inhabit the world.?

..

ECOWAS should start paying more attention to endangered animals.
I see no reason why they can't create a "wild-life and endangered species" conservation programme in atleast 3 west-african states where artificial habitats and parks are created for such animals.
