Dear Tim Cook, contrary to what you think, being gay is not a gift from God. But it's your choice. You were not created to be a gay man; you chose to be..... And if you must know, the God of the Bible does not approve such relationship.

Man created God in his own image!

Wetin concern God with your sexual orientation, Tim?

As final yr engineering students a level of innovativeness to produce cars that generate energy from non fossil fuel sources is expected from eg solar, hydrodynamics, hydro, magnetic etc. remember those sec schl students who generated electricity from human urine? Thatb
is what is expected from these guys

Simple question: will any of us buy this car for more than 4 million Naira?

OBJ should cease double-dipping PDP and APC. Does not Atiku, does not want Fashola and he is a PDP member. Shame!

And who says same religious creed cannot win election. The fairest election in this country was won by Muslim-Muslim team: Abiola and Kingibe! APC please respect competence and democracy, not demigods like obj.

Gangs and cultic groups are flourishing in Edo state and wrecking havoc there. What used to be a university evil has now spread to the community involving even secondary school students. Fights with dangerous weapons, murder, armed robbery and mind control and evil rituals are some of deadly outcomes of these groups. How is your situation in your area?

Packed into a cramped cabin with a few hundred strangers at 30,000 feet, tensions are already running high. On top of that, there's always that passenger. The one who makes everybody else uncomfortable by screaming at the crew. Or the one with the children running amok. Or the space invader.


With disgruntled travellers taking to the internet in droves to out bad behaviour on planes on the viral 'Passenger Shaming' website, Tripit.com compiled the top 10 most annoying plane behaviours which Dailymail also reported .


Rudeness to staff: - 1

It's always uncomfortable to listen to someone berating hard-working crew members. Passengers in the Tripit.com survey nominated 'being rude to staff' as the most annoying bad behaviour, well ahead of other irritants such as taking up too much space and being too loud.

Refusal to caution children when disturbing other passenger -2

When a child has been screaming and kicking the back of your seat for five hours straight, you're in for a long flight. Not many can begrudge a distressed infant, but patience often wears thin when a parent makes no effort to placate children: 57 per cent of respondees said that lack of care by parents is their pet plane peeve.
Parents of difficult children may want to follow the lead of Christina Diaz and Michael Rubinstein, who made headlines around the world in 2012 when they handed out goodie bags to fellow passengers to 'apologise in advance' for their 14-week old twins disturbing them. The thoughtful gesture was well-received by passengers and a picture of the gift went viral.

Crowding seat/ hogging 'extra' middle seat: -3

Scoring a free seat next to one is like winning the golden ticket these days, with airlines code-sharing flights. So, when you hit the jackpot, it's only fair to share it with your row-mate, rather than claiming it as your personal storage area. If you're lucky enough to get an entire row to yourself though, settle in smugly and stretch out.
If you're nestled in on a full flight, remember your armrest manners. Make sure everyone has one to themselves before resting your elbows. Space hoggers make more than half of their fellow passengers angry.

Talking loudly: -4

In a confined space, the entire cabin can be privy to your conversation if not kept below a discreet decibel, which will not make you popular. One unruly passenger learned the hard way when her loud antics were chronicled via Twitter by Modern Family editor Ryan Case recently.
On an overnight flight, Case live-tweeted her experience sitting behind a drunken passenger, or, as Case calls her, 'the worst person in the world,' revealing every eyebrow-raising snippet of her conversation. The gems included 'Sorry, it's my first time not in first class', and 'I have a very racist view of all Middle East.'

Blocking the baggage claim area: -5

The bad behaviour doesn't necessarily end upon landing. Everybody wants to get out the airport as quickly as possible, but those who block the baggage carousel by standing an inch away drive 44 per cent of respondees mad.Perhaps enforcing a 'stay behind the yellow line' rule like on tube platforms could prevent the super keen from making you miss your suitcase.

Reclining their seat into your seating area: -6

The reclining seat is a hot topic in travel at the moment. Brawls over the use of the controversial Knee Defender have caused two flights to be re-routed, with a handful of passengers arrested. A recent survey revealed that 75 per cent of British travellers want to see reclining seats banned. The general rule to follow seems to be: Reclining on long-haul flights only, and not during meal times.

Carrying stinky food:-7

Airplane food is widely considered unsavoury enough. But bringing one's own snacks on board should be limited to inoffensive, fragrance - free options. Nobody wants to sit next to a hot takeaway - particularly if it is being sitting in one's carry-on for a few hours.

Hogging the overhead storage: -8

While some low-cost airlines enforce a 'one bag rule, there still never seems to be enough space in the overhead compartments. Storing wheelie cases above and handbags under the seat in front is encouraged, but not always followed by some. Forty-three per cent agreed that people who take up all the storage space are the worst.p

Rushing to disembark before passengers in front: -9

While the majority of passengers adhere to the courteous method of disembarking, clearing out row by row, there is always one impatient person who believes their time is more precious than everybody else. A travelling barging their way past the more patient passengers is irksome for 41 per cent of those surveyed.

Blocking the aisles during a flight: -10

Everybody likes the freedom to roam about the cabin to stretch their legs and use the bathroom. But sometimes, one gets stuck mid-wander. Whether it's someone hovering to chat to a friend, or allowing their legs to overhang the seat into the aisle, 41 per cent of passengers say: 'Keep it in your own row.'

How much is PDP nomination form?

hotice01:
Before the last VC, an Igbo man (Prof.Nwanze).There was no meaningful development. can an Edo man be the VC in IMSU?

IMSU is a state Uni. UNIBEN is a federal Uni. Get it?

I'm disappointed in Nairalanders clamouring for only bini VCs in UNIBEN. That's tribalism: it is a federal Uni and any qualified prof stands a chance. Best VC in Uniben has been prof Adamu Baike, a northerner. Edos can only lay claim to AAUni, Ekpoma.

No be this same obj Yar'adua tell us say he thief 16billion dollars NEPA money? Pot calling kettle black!!

OBJ should pack up his hatred for Atiku. Atiku has a right to be voted for like any other candidate. Buhari has failed the general elections too many times, is aging, a fundamentalist and has poor democratic skills. A tiku has shown a keen interest to serve and should be given a chance.

Do you think the United States of America is fair in refusing to sell arms to Nigeria when it's at war with terrorists? Read the American ambassador in Nigeria explain the United States of America reason for denying Nigeria weapons in times of war, and judge for yourself.


DESPITE the urgent need for external support for Nigeria to defeat Boko Haram, the United States (U.S.) has declared that it will not sell arms to the Federal Government.


The position of the U.S. was disclosed by the country's Ambassador to Nigeria, James F. Entwistle.


Entwistle, who spoke in Yola Thursday in an interactive session with journalists after addressing American University of Nigeria (AUN) students and staff on his mission to Adamawa State, explained that the decision of the U.S. government not to sell arms to the country was due to what he described as massive human rights abuses by the Nigeria military.


"The U.S. government is against human rights abuse by any country in the world. So it will be ungodly for the U.S. to sell arms to Nigeria, a country that its military is notoriously known for human rights abuse. We cannot sell our arms to a country that will use our technology which is meant for defence of the helpless people to harass the helpless citizens", he said.


On the Boko Haram's killings in the north-eastern part of the country, he said that the crisis was getting stronger due to the political undertone and internal sabotage by the people of Nigeria.


"In the past six months it is very clear the manner Boko Haram is getting stronger that there is internal sabotage. The deadly gang has efficient military operations, the way they operate is clear that they receive military training based on the tactics they employ to operate", he maintained.


He said that U.S. government had been training Nigeria military in different fields including information management and war tactics to improve the productivity of both the personnel and officers.


The U.S. ambassador maintained that Nigeria and his country had a good relationship and that President Barrack Obama was building a stronger friendship between the two countries for economy prosperity of Nigeria.


"President Jonathan is the only African President that has meetings twice with Obama and another meeting with Obama's deputy. This is to show that the U.S. government has special interest to support Nigeria to grow fast. The fact that Obama is yet to visit Nigeria cannot be used as a sign that the relationship between the two countries is sour", he stated.


Entwistle, who said that he was in Yola to monitor the aborted governorship by-election in tomorrow, pointed out that the major problem militating against the development of Nigeria


was corruption, which he said had detained the growth of both democracy and the economy of the country.


"Corruption is a huge problem in Nigeria, everybody knows about this. Corruption can be tackled in Nigeria only when there are strong institutions like the security agents, judiciary and others. Individuals should be bold to challenge public office holders on how they get money to buy big cars, build houses in Abuja, Lagos and other parts of the world. The members of the media should be courageous to put Nigerian leaders on the public scale for members of the public to judge their activities in office", he said.


On the 2015 general elections, the U.S. ambassador insisted that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must fashion out modalities that could allow the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to vote.


"It will be constitutionally wrong for INEC to deny these people from voting, if they are excluded from the election it means the election result cannot be credible because some Nigerians are denied their rights to vote. The power of any individual is his rights to vote for the leader of his choice, if you deny him that right, you have taken away his power to question or caution the person in office. So it is very important for INEC to include the IDPs in the 2015 general elections", he maintained.


Entwistle, who rated the American University of Nigeria, Yola as among the best institutions in the world, noted that the school would contribute to the fast development of the country and other African countries.

Toks2008:
Its all twisted my guy. My point is that a lady should give a man the chance if he is strongly on to her. You are a man so u may not understand.

Obviously no man is expected to force it but if you truly love n desire that chic then she will desire u strngly. This is simple enough.

What i am saying is that ladies should love a man who truly wants them,is this hard to comprehend? Habba

Good point! Yes the excessive choosy and rejecting attitude of many girls contribute a lot to their difficulties finding a mate in the future. They should also be age cautious. B/w 18 and 25 is best time to marry as pregnancies after age 35 are high risk pregnancies.

The dreams indicate you missing her and your feelings of guilt you have for her. First forgive yourself, understanding that the dreams represent your inner world, your emotions and your wishes to be with her again.

Your mind idealizes her as never before. Her aggressive appearances are a recall of the anger she felt towards you when you broke up and your doubts about if she can ever forgive you.

Try see her again in real life. Tell her about your dreams and what she says in the dreams. If you two cannot get back, this would help clear your mind. But I guess the key question is if she were to come back to you, do you really want her back? Will you treat her better? All the best

Oduduwaboy: This is a big punch to the face of our black civilization. But seriously, what have we contributed to the advancement of human civilization in the area of science and technology?

Africans built the pyramids of Egypt, introduced writing, religion, wigs, perfumes and the embalming of corpses

Op you should have stated the period of reincarnation. In say 10 to 50 years returning as an African may be hard but in a thousand years blacks may have advanced in technology.

Gi me water wey dey sweat

Meaning give me ice cold water

It's obviously money laundering by Jonathan's friends. Or even himself or family members. The arms deal story, the Israeli guy are cover ups. I think they reckoned that a story of Nigerian govt involvement would ease their problems. After all jona's former boss taught him how to launder money!!

ednut1: how come my name is missing on a more serious note do u notice the south Africans der. this is d reason i regard Nelson Mandela as a A$$ licker. d white media kept praising and overhyping him because he danced to their tune and not naturalize all the white owned corporation. make i go hide because i go too chop insult. d truth is bitter anyway

Fool!! Racist!! What happened to Zimbabwe?

In fact not infact

ckhelvin: If u try that one for my country Nigeria ehn..na suffer wey no get rival u dey..u go too dey their so tey nah beggars go they come check mayb dem fit help yhu..so op it's not applicable to my country Nigeria..sorry

Come on! Why so pessimistic and uninnovative. You can modify this idea to suit your environment. Train stations in Nigeria are not patronized by executives. You can try the airports, banks, shoprite in vi or Ikeja. Big hotels is another option. You can modify the poster Ajani used to suit the Nigerian setting. The idea is to get a way to get the executives to see you as confident, innovative and intelligent, and that is what Ajani did!!

OnyeEgo1: God is the OWNER of that BODY

Why did he prepare it for sex before marriage?

Na wetin concern God with wether you sleep with woman or not? It's your body. God is not a Viewer!!

What can Nigeria do to help? This is a country that our dear soldiers died for during the IBB regime. Let's appeal to Jonathan to collaborate with Ghana to help with medical and food supplies. The Nigerian community may also contribute to assist our fellow brothers in Liberia.

The big question is how do we get Jonathan to listen to our plea? How do we get PMAN to get celebrities, musicians and actors to put money together for Liberia?

Many of the responders in this thread condemning ankle chains as symbolism of prostutition or lesbianism have shown a total lack of African tradition and culture; have u not seen grandmothers and aunties with anklets in your villages? Have u not seen atilagu dancers with bangles, bells and chains on their ankles? O you live abroad. Have u not seen professional women with ankle chains overseas? Go learn more. Google it please!

No armed robbers or hijackers to harass you; no flight delays of unnecessary nature. If affordable, it's a necessity

Nothing Yoruba or Nigerian about the structure
