do u have sense? when did brunei become arab? should have been muslim wedding and not arab.....


yusufu16:
Sultan of Brunei was once the richest man in the world. He was toppled many years ago by Bill Gates but he's still loaded and one of the richest men in the world. The youngest child, 31 year old Prince Abdul Malik, who is the second in line to become the next Sultan, got married today to 22 year old Data Analyst DayangkuHaji Bolkiah in a spectacular ceremony at the monarch's 1,788-room palace in Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan.

The billionaire monarch went all out for this wedding. The bride and groom wore gold outfits with diamonds. The bride's shoes were made with extra diamonds and she carried a bouquet made of gems rather than flower. Her tiara, necklace, brooch, bracelet and ring are all made of diamonds, studded with emeralds.

Culture › Re: Nigerian Doll Created By Taofik Okoya Now Outselling White Dolls Barbie by sorepco(m): 2:37pm On Apr 13, 2015
where can i get one of those? i think the guy should not just seek to penetrate the european market only....get into the naija market as well. after all i can say categorically that with this kind of product naija has a bigger market than britain. blacks make up les than 8% of british market. and since this is product is most likely to target the black market; let him set up his hq in either lagos or abuja and ship to britain/europe from there(though na china go dey produce am). naija go take order, and paymet, ad him go come call the producer for china to ship to england




OboloMAN:
One person that Okoya [the creator] really hopes the dolls will have a positive impact on is his daughter, who, he explains, once wished she was white.

Nigerian entrepreneur, Taofik Okoya, has created
Nigerian dolls that are outselling the Barbie doll, the
UK Daily Mail is reporting. The paper said according to
Reuters, 9,000 units of the £4.50 (N1,280) dolls are sold per month, taking up 15 percent of Nigeria’s toy market.

According to the Daily Mail, Mr. Okoya decided to make the dolls after he set out to buy a black doll for his niece but could not find any.

The dolls, which are also sold online, have found buyers not only in Nigeria but in America, Brazil and Europe.

In an interview with Elle Magazine, Mr Okoya said
“My mission is to make the Queens of Africa a symbol of hope, trust, and confidence by promoting African history, culture, and fashion.

However, Mr. Okoya, who has been trying to market his dolls in American stores, has been told he can sell them only in specialist stores and not larger department stores but he remains undeterred.

Politics › South Africa Arrests Over Xenophobic Attacks In Durban by sorepco(op): 9:23pm On Apr 12, 2015
South Africa arrests over xenophobic attacks in Durban
• Is this what theoba of benin wants for us in lagos? We have to be careful the way we talk; especially when we are in leadership positions. My own two cents.
Hundreds of people marched against the anti-immigrant violence that has hit Durban
South African police have arrested 17 people and opened murder cases after attacks on foreign nationals in Durban.
The violence comes in the wake of alleged comments by the Zulu king telling migrants to go home - although the he says he was mistranslated.
But Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba has called on traditional leaders to stop making remarks that "could result in a loss of life".
At least 62 people died in xenophobic attacks that swept the country in 2008.
For the latest news, views and analysis see the BBC Africa Live page.
Following the alleged comments by King Goodwill Zwelithini at the end of March, 250 people have been attacked, mostly from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and foreign-owned shops have been looted in the port city of Durban.
More than 1,000 mainly African migrants have fled their homes, some going to police stations and other are being housed in tents on a sports field.
Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini, like other traditional leaders, is widely respected
South Africa's Business Day newspaper reports that at least three people have been killed and that a Somali shopkeeper is in a critical condition.
Police spokesperson Maj Thulani Zwane told the BBC that the police do not know exactly how many people have been killed, but that some were South African nationals and some were foreigners.
'Ticking time bomb'
South African President Jacob Zuma's son, Edward, has come out in support of the Zulu king's alleged comments.
Thousands of African migrants have fled their homes around Durban fearing attack
"We need to be aware that as a country we are sitting on a ticking time bomb," he said, adding that foreigners were "taking over the country".
Raphael Baheybwa-Kambambire, president of Congolese Solidarity campaign, told the BBC that religious leaders met with Zulu monarch on Thursday.
King Zwelithini told them he was talking "only about those who don't have papers and documentation in South Africa".
Mr Gigaba said on Thursday evening that it was important not to incite violence.
"Africa in particular must not think that we hate fellow Africans so much that we are prepared to do the worst to cause them harm," he said.
On Wednesday, hundreds of people marched in front of the Durban's City Hall in protest against the xenophobic violence.
Durban-based journalist Jeff Wicks told the BBC's Newsday programme that it does not take much to stoke tensions.
Xenophobic violence flares up in townships where living conditions are poor for all those living there, irrespective of where they come from, he says.

Business › Re: 9 Natural Qualities That Make Igbos Business Minded by sorepco(m): 8:22pm On Apr 11, 2015
my guy, there is a big difference between a business man and a rent seeker!! dangote is a rent seeker; adenuga is a rent seeker; otedola is a rent seeker; that alakija woman is a beauty therapist!!! do you theink obasanjo and ibb dont own part of dangote?? see, when ibb was in power, hegave dangote sole importership of flour, sugar and rice in naija. see, with the amount of rice we nigerians consume in a day; give me sole importership status for just one week, and i will be a dollar billionaire. do the maths, and see what i mean. in anambra state alone, about 2000 bags of rice is consumed a day!!!


jamalee:
I too also disagree with this article. I always wondered when people say Igbos know how to do business than any other tribe in Nigeria. They always argue that the Igbo people are the best business men and women in Nigeria. I disagree with this fact. Why? The richest black man in the world now is an Hausa man(Aliko Dangote). His business(Dangote Group) is one of the biggest business empire in the World. The richest woman in Africa now is a Yoruba woman(her name was forgotten). She made her money from oil and gas. She's the owner of Famfa Oil. The second richest man in Nigeria is a Yoruba man(Mike Adenuga). He's the owner of global comm., Con oil and several other businesses. The owner of Guaranty Trust Bank is a Yoruba man(Fola Adeola). The owner of hitv is a Yoruba man(Toyin). The owner of Eleganza is a Yoruba man(Razaq Okoya). The owner of Bellview Airline is a Yoruba man, he's from Ijebu-Ode. Recently, one man bought two International Airports worth 1.58billion pounds each. The man is from Sagamu in Ogun State. Harry Akande, an Ibadan man has over 400 Companies all over the World: is he not good a good business man. Look at the businesses mentioned above, can you see any Igbo man or woman there? No. You can't. Reason. Igbo people always engage themselves in doing fake things e.g fake drugs, fake body wears and foot wears, etc. They are number one Fraudster in Nigeria; they are not straight forward. In all tribes in Nigeria, Yoruba is the best and others follow. Anyone that want to argue with me should start now and I will be replying you as you are arguing with me. Let's start now...

Politics › Re: Why Are Igbo Towns 98% Indigenous? by sorepco(m): 4:29pm On Apr 08, 2015
its very simple mate....igbos are generally into commerce ad importation. so, as stranger from another part where you go begin? if you sell anything, you igbo competitor will sell lower than you. i mean, those onitsha guys are something else. they will use N5 to sell an item. how on earth do you stock and sell a N2000 item at N5 profit margin? you see? eve i from anambra cant compete; what more of oluwa from ijebu; what chance does he have within the commerce sector in such a town?
however, the igbos are no where near hausas vegetables or perishable commerce in onitsha or even in animal husbandry sector. as for the yourubas, they dominate the tailoring sector and traditional medicine sector in onitsha. calabars dominate food and bricklaying. you see?
in nutshell, there are opportunities; with different tribes dominating in different sectors. as for professionals, you can hardly find an anambrarian as a banker etc...stragers dominate the sector........



PentiumPro:
Why is it that all Igbo towns are mostly made up of indigenous Igbos
People will rather go to Calabar, Port Harcourt or Uyo than to stop at Onitsha which is closer.
Is it that Igbos are not friendly or there are not enough opportunities outside buying and selling in these igbo towns and cities.
TV/Movies › Re: Nollywood Releases 2015 Election Movie About Buhari!(pic) by sorepco(m): 3:44pm On Apr 08, 2015
i like your way of thinking. i was once like you mate. i hated especially that mr ibu guy and was willing to punch him whenever i came across him. i felt he was a stupid and noncensical piece of shit. one day in onitsha, it took me 5 minutes in car to manouvre my way through a street. as i passed by i discovered that a crowd of about 200 were so fixated on an ibu latest release; laughing and lost in their amusemet. the it hit me how big that fucker was in the east. you, us outside the east will blast and abuse such films as dumb; but trust me, the DVDs will sell 100,000 to 170,000 copies. some even do 300,000 copies in oe week.from that day, i decided to respect ibu....no matter how stupid a man can be, even if he repackages and sells shit, i will respect him; at least!!!

Politics › Re: Igbo Lagos Residents And Traders Moblise For Agbaje by sorepco(m): 10:18am On Apr 06, 2015
my guy what do you mean by being hostile to the host community? do you really know the meaning of democracy? multiparty politics at all?? if i cant vote one way and my dad votes the other will the heavens fall? instead of threatening igbos why not persuade them to vote for your candidate? are saying every yoruba in the east should have voted PDP or else? what manner of thiking is that? we have seen how tinuba and members of his family get the juicest post in lagos...does that not bother you at all? what if jonathan had his wife as a senator, his brother in law as a miister, his sister as a commisioner, his mother as market leader or iyaloja for the whole of nigeria and after that his daughter? ad also he gets a consultancy fee for working for the federal government. 3 billion naira to be precise? now, tinubu does all these and many more...yet you want him to continue? lets cut it for 8 years and vote his apc later in 2023.




SegzyJoe:
Interesting, Igbos are flexing their muscle in Yorubaland. How could a people be so politically naive? They must really be thinking their population could determine the outcome of guber election Lagos. No wonder they thought their weight will determine the outcome of the presidential election. Even after their gross political and strategic miscalculation over GEJ, they are still embarking on another trip to failure.

They are so naive to the extent that even, if their weight in Lagos could determine the outcome in favour of Jimi Agbaje, what would be the fall out of traveling such a path among their host population of Yoruba people in Lagos. It is only Igbos that think this way, Hausa or Yoruba will never choose a path hostile to their host community. There is a strategic error in Igbo political thinking for them to think that being antagonistic to your host population is a path to victory. Even, if such victory is assured at the polls, it is not a victory at all, because hostility of the host community will be detrimental to Igbo business interest in Lagos. It is like winning against your boss or against your landlord. Anybody that consider winning against his boss or landlord a thing of fun is naive to say the least.

The question again is , why must Igbo be embarking on a path that will put their strategic interest in jeopardy? Is hatred for Yorubas or rivalry. Sincerely, I am a Yoruba, and I have never seen Igbo as competitors because all my friends are Igbos, but when it comes to politics, I always see a different line of thought which I will say is highly not strategic and emotional. I have even heard arguments, how Igbo population is more than Yorubas in Lagos State and how Igbos owned Lagos, yet during the ensuing crisis after June 12 1993, more than 80% of Igbo population ran away for Yam festival. It so so funny. I hope Igbo political strategist will chart a new political path that will not compromise the interest of their kinsmen in political landscape called Nigeria, as they just done in 2015 presidential elections.

Politics › Was Mbaka Right After All?? by sorepco(op): 12:34pm On Apr 05, 2015
Buhari's victory has vindicated me -Father Mbaka

: Ihuoma Chiedozie


Ejike Mbaka

Click to learn more...

Fiery Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, has congratulated Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) on his victory in the March 28 presidential election.

Mbaka, whose New Year Message, "From Goodluck to Badluck," became a major talking point during the campaigns for the election, said Buhari's emergence was a divine victory for all Nigerians.

Speaking through his spokesman, Maximus Ugwuoke, Mbaka also noted that Buhari's victory was a fulfillment of his prophecy in the New Year Message.

However, he urged Buhari to seek divine wisdom before appointing people into his cabinet.

He noted that President Goodluck Jonathan's biggest problem was that he surrounded himself with the 'wrong people.'

Mbaka advised Buhari to avoid making the same mistake.

The cleric said, "It is with vindictive joy and glory to God that the Adoration Ministry, the nation and indeed the world saw the fulfillment of Fr. Mbaka's New Year prophesy of change with the miraculous, victorious emergence of Gen.Muhammadu Buhari at the March 28 polls as the President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

"We wish to restate that before President Goodluck became the President of this country, Fr. Mbaka prophesied it in his message titled 'Okolo.'

"Today again, Buhari's victory among other lessons it portends for Nigerians has once more confirmed to all and sundry that Fr. Mbaka is indeed a true Prophet of God and that his New Year message was indeed from the Oracle of the Holy Spirit as he declared.

"The ministry with magnanimous heart holds no grudges against anyone who attacked it in one way or the other at the rage of the controversies surrounding Fr. Mbaka's message and view their actions as being orchestrated by their misconstruing of Fr. Mbaka's prophetic calling.

"The Ministry joins the rest of Nigerians to congratulate Muhammadu Buhari as God's chosen instrument of change to tackle the myriads of problems facing Nigeria and pray God to endow him with the wisdom to go about this onerous task."

Airforce1:
An Arik flight that was scheduled to leave Abuja to Lagos by 2pm yesterday kept being delayed until it was ready to leave by 9pm. When they were ready to go, the flight was overbooked. They sold more tickets than the number of seats that they have, leaving many passengers standing on the plane. In 2015, Arik Air! *sigh*!

But the aircraft hasn't left the airport as at the time of writing this report. Sokoto and Yola passengers went to block the aircraft from leaving because their flight that was supposed to leave for 9am that same day was canceled by 9pm. See more photos after the cut...
