Lol. Jonathan was really a docile president! Just look at how a State Governor packaged Sanusi as Emir and Jonathan couldn't do anything to a suspended CBN Governor Sanusi?

Jonathan was irritatingly weak as a leader, it cost him the Presidency... A man is only a man if his actions can impose his intentions Good or Bad on others. Jonathan lacked the sagacity befitting of a Nigerian president. Imagine Sanusi rubbishing him from the beginning to the end while mentioning his name repeatedly.

PS- Emir Sanusi NEVER mentioned Ganduje's name specifically throughout his tirade and verbal assault on the Northern institutions yet he got checked like some elementary school kid. He humbled himself in a very uncharacteristic manner associtated with his vociferous approach on subject relating to governance and administration.

Lesson; If you've got power vested oon you and someone is trying to undermine such power due to some level of influence they've got, YOU ONLY HAVE ONE JOB-----------> CRUSH THEM! Kudos to Ganduje!

LOL

Pidgin2:
Is there any reason why you took a photo with her, don't you think this is rather unnecessary?

Also, N20K will positively affect that lady's business for good, I believe your immediate friends and family can raise this amount without nairaland influence na

Thanks for your interest though

Exactly.

SmartyPants:
Oga my first thought too was that this guy was just attracted to the girl since there was nothing exceptional about the way she arranged her fruits (in fact it is quite unappealing), but then he explained that he thought she was a student of UI (i guess going by the nicish way she dressed and comports herself). You must accept his explanation instead of sticking to your own theory. That is only fair.

The explanation of the OP is valid too, no doubt about that. I believe the alternate theory of this young man seeks to question the motive and/or rationale of the OP for picking out this individual simply because she "looked" like a student of NOUN. Such action, if I must add, is questionable in the face of the thousands of individuals with worse circumstances hawking, begging and helplessly-looking-unkempt people in that city.

SINZ:
Oga sir, did she have NOUN written in caps on her forehead? Simply put, you gave her attention because you feel she is too pretty to be selling fruits. If she was ugly, we both know you wouldn't have approached her but that's not the case.

There are many people out there who hawk and carry out menial jobs just so they can feed atleast once a day. Their stories are surely even more heart-wrenching than this lass's story. What else qualifies her to be offered help aside her looks? Why should people offer her assistance on the basis that she is pretty and neglect those truly in need?

Dude, you need to re-evaluate yourself first and ask yourself what motivated you into writing this epistle in the first place. Is it lust? Are you having dreams of being her savior so you'll get a chance to score?? If sheer greed played a motivational role then I'm sorry, but you're no better than the people that this poor "pretty" girl is trying to avoid in the first place which made her choose this means of survival. Face your front when next you see a pretty girl.

Youths with superior cognitive skills like this can see through the thick lens(es) of deceit no matter how masked or coated! The docility of the average Nigerian youth is quite visible from the response of those views antagonistic to your submission! NIGERIANS NEED TO LEARN TO ASK QUESTIONS, SALIENT QUESTIONS!!! Thumbs up brother!

Newer jobs tech inclined will spring up.

Exactly! Jobs such as A.I. system mangers will spring up just like the current B.I.M. managers in the construction industry.

fedrick4god:
A.I could actually take up most fields of life except fields that require critical thinking about unforseen events and advancement in technology, also the robotof the future could also make informed decision about future occurrence if some human esoteric knowledge could be shared with such technology.

Yeah. I conducted a research on this topic recently. How to future-proof professions from automation. The findings revealed that:

1. There is need for institutions to start preparing professionals for an imminent future of A.I. dominance as most of the jobs being performed by humans may eventually be replaced by robots and A.I. machines in the near future; Future being 2027-2030. This is based of predictions from futurist experts Ray Kurzweili, Stephen Hawkins et al.
2. Emotional intelligence, no matter how minimal it seems on the surface, will always be required in the overall management of these A.I. machines.
3. Discretionary thinking remains the hallmark of the application of E.I. which is an exclusive preserve of human but needs to function at a more advanced and refined scale when juxtaposed with the precision and accuracy of A.I. systems.
4. Automation is inevitable as discovered in the 2015 Davos summit in Switzerland on the future of automation as it affects professions.
5. The biggest threat of automation is that of existential threat as pointed out by Elon Musk, Tesla CEO i.e. Its threat against the further existence of humanity. These are threats rather unforeseen whose occurrence is premised upon the even of self awareness of these machines in such a future thereby presenting humans as "threats" to these A.I. machines.

These amongst other key findings as discussed in the extensive research as conducted in Australia revealed that automation via A.I. machines is indeed inevitable as can be seen across professions - Medicine, Law, Architecture, Defence etc.

Hmmnnnn, The house, was it empty? No document in sight which could give the security agencies some sort of lead to ascertain the authenticity of the owner of the apartment? We can do better as a nation please. Today Mrs Nnamdi, next minute Anenih's house, next Mu'azu. There is need for an official communication channel to disseminate genuine and verified information prior to running to the press with all these guessing they've engaged in.

Youths of the country, there is need to take the country back from these charlatans. It doesn't make sense anymore acting with this irresponsible "e nor concern me" attitude we've been exhibiting for years. We can start from NOW!

ireneony:
sorry about that. .
Which country is that

Australia.

Truckpusher:
What racism does to your psyche is unimaginable.
And as soon as you begin to accept your fate you're indirectly without knowing it building a great animosity inside you against society and the people around you and the worse and harshest of all your frustrations you would always save for the leaders of your motherland.

How I managed to live all that time without me attempting to kill Obasanjo,Yaradua,Odili,Atiku etc eact time I come home was a miracle - Because I was almost blaming them for not creating the enabling environment that would give us some sense of pride and dignity let's see who would want to visit each other.
I blamed them for not building our infrastructures ,I blamed them for everything and the pains and sorrows begins to weigh on me and started eating me up and I became one bitter boy just like most them here in NL.

The worst time of your life as a young Nigerian in diaspora is when you're about to land in Murtala mohamed International airport the reality on ground hits you in the face even before you land as you begin to see the grey roof scattered everywhere and the farm-like open countryside showcasing the shame of a nation,everywhere is like one big slum,the chaos as you are being driven home is something that would bring out all the anger in you and make you hate the leadership of this country even more.

When you finally land in Lagos airport then comes the custom and their wahala ,seizing almost anything that catches their fancy, one even seized pepper spray that I bought for my younger sister...smh
Then you get to your humble abode where your family have carved out a nice niche for themselves and before you could say 'jack robinson' power is out - welcome to Nigeria

Then you sit back for some few days feeling foreign until you quietly assimilate back into the society you know better

Omo! as I finish with wetin carry me go there , na so I come here come sit down - No transfer No leave till death.
I refused to pass through such subtle emotional humiliation because of my color - I'll rather remain in my poor country and slug it out with the Yorubas,Hausa/Fulani and the Igbos at least they look like me, their insults I can tolerate without feeling humiliated.For those that have developed thick skin to remain there you're good to go......All is well

YOU STOLE THIS POST FROM MY HEAD! SPOT ONNNNNNN! Even if the Nigerian government could just build 1/10th of the infrastructure they've got in this country back there in Naija, do you think I'd remain here? Many BLACK goons for the sake of political correctness just come here to spew trash every time on how black people just "exaggerate" everything. It's crazy! I currently earn more than all the guys in the establishment I work with now due to the specific nature of what I was brought in to do, although its a six-months contract, you need to see the cold shoulder even the subordinates be dishing on a regular.

Me, I don't even greet "good morning" or "bye". Guess what? I don't even respond to their greetings. It's strictly work-related conversations I'm interested in. I just took it up a notch -I no longer look at them when I talk to them. I Just face my computer screen and do my typing while engaging them in any work-related conversation. If it requires my visual attention I always tell them to scan it and mail to me and I'd print it and do some mark-ups and send back to them. Man, I never knew I could dissipate such enormous amount of "stay-in-your-lane" with such depth of hatred deposited inside me. This is the monster they've turned me into oooooo. The money is MUCH but hey, if naija better smalll I dey come back. All my naija guys here are serious on their mortgage shittts, Me I sold off all properties already for eventual return to my country to slug it out with the Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba, Ijaw and all of them, make we all gather dey for my country dey battle am together abeg!

ireneony:
Have you been to uk? u will be amazed the numbers of mixed kids you find here. Black men in uk run after ugly white women. No wonder there's no strong black community in the uk. The Asians have been living in the uk for so long, yet they still get married to each other. I don't know why black people as a whole try to mix with white. I'm not against interracial dating, but there should be a limit cos too much of something is bad.
It's very common to see 20 black guys with white women in a day. Asians marry themselves, yet they are the richest minority group in the uk. The Asians keep their money in their community. When rich black men marry out, they are taking away the money from the black community.

Blacks that were born here would never claim their originality. Always trying to seek validation from white ...the caribeans are worse, they have inferiority complex. Though they have in the uk for so long, they are still behind the asians economically.

I really don't believe you, a Nigerian girl hold this view! Its a brilliant perspective. As a matter of fact, your point is very valid. I'm about to call it quit with my white girlfriend soon. This is simply because no matter how you try to integrate, socialize and interact with the white man, you're forever going to look like a damn trash to him. What's the point in bringing a confused kid into this world?

Just yesterday I was in the church, an old white lady refused to shake my hands during the sign of peace at mass in a catholic church, I WALKED OUT OF THE CHURCH IMMEDIATELY and some church members ran after me to inquire the reason I was leaving and I told them what happened. They quickly informed the Reverend father of what transpired. To cut the story short, Father ended the mass without the communion rites! He gave the woman a stern telling-off and asked her to go back to the 50's she doesn't belong here! He invited me for a lunch at his residence immediately. Other members join afterwards and they all apologized. She later came apologizing too, but I told the Priest I was done with the church for good. In the looks department, no kidding I'm a 7.5/10. I'm a 6'2" fellow so whats the fuss about the white people? My girlfriend is a very nice girl but whenever I see how the white men exhibit gross hatred towards anything "black" I begin to question the relationship. PS- She's a model too, very beautiful but no as.s whatsoever, she is the definition of the white man standard of beauty hence the hatred from them white folks in the City I reside in the land down under.

To buttress your point about ugly white women with black guys, that is very true! The white man doesn't have a single problem with you when you're with their extra-terrestrially fat women weighing over 250 pounds. They only got a problem with you when you've got a woman they'd like to have!

Final word, she said it already- Black people, please make your money and marry a black woman so we can grow us and let our money build new generation of comfortable blacks- A sustainable race! The world is not fuc.cking ready for these interracial bull.s.hits!!!

Whenever I think about the northern part of the country, I curse every leader who's emerged from that region who never deemed it fit to ensure that a large percentage of the population over there received basic education which would GUARANTEE a certain degree of respect for human lives.

In the southern part of the country, many people are equally "crazy" and "mad" but heck no, they'd never descend/downgrade themselves into killing one another like some wrecked savages, the value of human life in the south is considerably higher than that of the northern nigeria and this has got a lot to do with the level of education of the people.

IBB, Abdusalam, TY Danjuma and their late brother Abacha should bury their ugly heads in shame! They plundered the entire nation yet they couldn't provide a platform and blueprint towards ensuring a safe future for the Northern Child. The sets of killers to replace the current ones in the next 10, 15 years are currently on the streets as we speak, they are the harmless 6 year olds begging you for alms when you travel across these region. They can be saved from such an uninspiring future now but their leaders really don't care.

It's a shame Nigeria share its space with such ridiculous beings responsible for the untimely deaths of those innocent souls. However, truth must be told, the killers are nothing but a product of their environment! Nigeria should get back to its negotiation table and re-negotiate the very terms of its existence to determine if the union as it is presently constituted holds a brighter future for North and South together or an amicable separation should be tabled. This is necessary because, "na from clap na hin dance dey start"... From Southern Kaduna, it could spread to Southern Nigeria if the root cause/sponsors of these heinous killings isn't brought to justice soonest!

Jammiiee:
Pls where is his workshop located ?

His workshop is located along Ifako Expressway in Lagos.

LordAdam7:
The point is that if the "well grounded mechanic" drives a E-Class, charges at least six figures for repairs, has a clientele with a combined net worth of over $1b, and has been in this line of work for years, his personal workshop should not look like that.

That's all we are saying.

He is losing a lot of business to the dealerships by having a personal workshop that looks like that. Some people would just waltz in and say well, screw what others are saying, I'm going to JB or Coscharis. Can't have a n*gga who can't paint his wall touch my $400k baby.

-Lord

"He is losing a lot of business to the dealerships by having a personal workshop that looks like that."


True.

1.Authorized dealers in Nigeria will still hire those half-baked mechanics to cut costs. Although even in developed nations, dealerships mess up as well.

2. It is not rocket science. But developed countries (due to liability issues) will not fix what they are not equipped or trained to fix. Nigerians will put a golf engine in a Mercedes. Will Australians do that? Your neighbour might be an Olympian, but do you know his other background? Is Olympian a profession?

3. Talk about fixing cars and things. Some people do it as a hobby. A typical oga in Nigeria will not do it because it doesn't support or bestow a toga of "bigmanism". Besides the guy in Australia can easily go out and rent the needed tools to fix his enzo. Can you do that in Nigeria? Some mechanics do show up with chisel and hammer to loosen bolts in a car in Nigeria. Accept the fact.

Oyibo do not fix cars. They diagnose, find out what the problem is, replace the parts and off you go. Mechanics in Nigeria will glue, re-glue, weld, unweld and re-weld before the owner decides to buy a replacement part. If Tokunbo parts don't make the cut per affordability, they modify an existing part. There are better ways of doing things. Of course, there are witches and wizards to blame when the inevitable happens.

@Bolded, young man, taking a shot at me or what? Move on! FYI, I don't care whatever background he's got definitely not an Auto-Mechanic! I just checked his profile on the internet, he has been representing the country globally since the age of 14. Hence, fixing his ride himself is something he does for fun or hobby. That's that about THAT!

InvertedHammer:
I am not a mechanic but I could have diagnosed the problem with your car. Folks buy cars for the look and pose without taking a minute to understand the machine.
ROlls Royce cars have specific and special diagnostic tools. The owner is probably looking for a quick fix to get the car home to retire in the garage for eternity.
Most Nigerians do not pay attention to details. Will the RR drive after the butched surgery? Probably. But the difference will be clear. For the guy talking about mechanics in US, 99.9999% of them will not even open the hood. They will direct you straight to RR's licensed dealership. Nigerians hate specialization. One has to be jack of all trade and then take glory in churning out mediocrity.

1. I am not a mechanic but I could have diagnosed the problem with your car.

Diagnosis wasn't the problem, that was done and supposedly "fixed" by the authorized dealership as mentioned in my post.

2. ROlls Royce cars have specific and special diagnostic tools.

You guys should stop making these shits look like some rocket science. An Olympian in Australia here, my neighbor ONLY consult Ferrari for parts! Dude fixes EVERY GODDAMN PROBLEM of his Enzo by himself although with a clear caveat transferring all risks to him, does that make his Rari "undriveable" afterwards? For sure not!

3. They will direct you straight to RR's licensed dealership.

yeah, if they do not possess the necessary skill sets required in undertaking such task, they'd absolutely refer. I don't see why a well grounded mechanic who's acquired optimal level of experience from these luxurious dealership shouldn't set up a personal workshop if he's got the resources. Such workshop would surely close in no time if his services are deemed poor or mediocre by his patrons.

Odu-B!

No jokes, this is the best auto-mechanic in Nigeria! When I drove a really luxurious Mercedes Benz back in my days in Unilag. I had issues with some overheating problems. I proceeded to some Mercedes Benz well-recognized autoshop on Lekki-Epe expressway. Yes, they supposedly 'fixed" the problem for some outrageous fees. Two weeks later same problem again, I called to inform them that right now I can't even move out of my premises, the smoke popping out of the engine became scary like some movie!

Then someone introduced this young man to me, I called and informed him of my location, he drove down in this really sleek E-Class- his personal car too! He checked the vehicle and I told him of what they did at Benz place and all, he just laughed and he called some guy on the phone to send one or two parts down- THAT FIXED IT FOR ETERNITY! I drove the car to Abuja and Ilorin four times in 2 weeks instead of flying as usual. The engine was cool as sh.it!

For those of you calling him "Kazeem", I forgive you for you don't know what you are saying! He is the personal auto-mechanic to most first class monarchs in South West and South South and also top politicians in these states too. They fly him to their states, for your information. I've gone to the airport to pick him most times! Their exotic Benzes, Maybachs, Range Rovers, RR Phantoms are well serviced and maintained by this dude. Lol, Odu-B nor vex, I don cast you!

Odu_B, since I comot Naija, Popsy don complain say you dey scarce these days, you nor dey quick carry phone self! lol, Continue!

God bless you bro!

This is simply elementary economics! "...foreign investors will be assured that once they want to take their funds out, they can do so without hindrance." How did we get to this level as a nation? It's a pity that the blame game in the Nigerian politics is like a pendulum -it goes back and forth. Trust me, the nation is on a jet-speed in the direction opposite of a successful destination.

The CBN governor who supervised the looting of the previous administration in conjunction with a Minister of Finance presumably thought to be above board all failed the nation immensely. The day some man named Oronsaye was named in a corruption scandal was the day I gave up on Nigeria. Africans are forever unfit for self-governance. Please don't argue this. Jammeh escaped with $11 million dollars, how much does Gambia as an entire nation possess to warrant that dirty looking nui.sance escape with such amount of money?

The problem with Nigeria is very simple. "Let me get there and chop my own". Until a generation is ready to sacrifice all the entrapment of comfort which our lackadaisical attitude promotes, we shall forever watch our nation earn optimal level of disrespect from the rest of the world. same goes for other African nations.

How does the external reserve directly affect the life of those people at bottom of the "crumbs" chain NOT food chain please! How? Every move or pronouncement at this very point should translate into something meaningful in the lives of the ordinary Nigerians, when its time to impress the upper class with jargons such as external reserves bullshit, we'd get there.

Wait, Isn't it the same government that is about to plunge the nation into further debt of billions of dollars? If these figures as quoted strikes off as genuine- then it is pure madness if the government can't withdraw $10 billion dollars from the external reserve to fund a proper recovery plan for the economy which would include massive infrastructure development that would thoroughly impact the lives of Nigerians positively!

This is the bane of the society. When discerning minds engage in meaningful subject of discourse, charlatans are quick to throw the beer parlor meaningless jargon "he will feed your family" "he is getting money". Airheads everywhere! The context of "chickened out activist" at this point in time is very much in order! Does that stop me and millions of people out there from being fans of Tuface? No! The reason for every insult Tuface shall receive during this trying period is a consequence of his actions and subsequently his inactions.

Let it be said, that the heat is still on and burning quite hot on any "move" by Tuface in the coming weeks and he should be prepared to face the heat from those who saw him as the Messiah who promised them succor as a way of getting their voices heard but backed out at the very minute they wanted to speak. His actions in a country like Nigeria would never be well received! Especially at a time when poverty and austerity has distorted every form of logical reasoning -which is indeed understandable!

So, dear friend, never throw the "he is making money" or "he will feed your generation" card unnecessarily. Take care, it shall be well with you and everybody!

Non Sense!

Its crazy. Clearly encouraging people to steal and trying to justify such from a disgusting perspective! You can imagine the depth some people go, just to be seen as intellects? This is madness.

reserved01:
Of course I never believed the whole he was expecting 50k and old woman cock and bull story he came up with, I just thought I should play along and try not to upset him. You know, JUST MAYBE he might fully return the money. After he paid back 25k, I intentionally refused to put pressure on him, I called him only twice or thrice throughout the whole period to ask about the remaining money, but he kept saying the same thing. That the woman's son has not paid yet, so i have to continue to wait, blah blah blah. I sensed where the whole drama was leading to
So I decided to stop been nice and playing dumb with him. I put a call through to him on Thursday and told him in clear tone to return the money. He immediately hanged the call and blocked my number on whatsapp. I knew what that meant. I didn't contact him again until yesterday nite when I used a friends line to message him on whatsapp and inform him of my intentions to post all his informations here on nairaland. I gave him 24 hours to get back to me, and declare his intentions to return the money. Oh well as expected he immediately blocked the said number and refused to get back to me till this moment.

Sorry man. That dude is a thief, plain and simple. Cut the crap about "some money being expected". If I was in Nigeria, I would have retrieved your money for you plus N10,000 for you from the bas.Stard! Please don't ask how, I hate cheats.

Even right here, I help people to obtain justice at no cost. I once helped a random girl get her her money+phone+money for her cab back to her location from that useless computer village in Nigeria, although with mild violence. We blacks and yeah, some whites too need a little violence to set our brains right. Sorry about that. If you don't receive your money by C.O.B. today please post the situation on the forum here and you'd get your money in 48 hours- UNFAILINGLY.

police are not robots so don't expect them to fold their hands watching you pick stones against them talk more of cutlass,guns, arrow etc. they also want to return to their wives and children but you don't expect them to do that by running away when you, a civilian pickup arms.

Exactly. How can I, an armed personnel- instructed not to shoot but disperse protesters peacefully- watch a friend of mine right by my side drop dead by a fired shot from the protesters and you expect me not to level a whole continent of protesters just to lawfully and dutifully protect my own life? It's funny how some people think that the shiites "protesters" are kindergartens going about their normal businesses and the police/military are blood-thirsty monsters looking for whom to devour.

LMAO. Who TF makes advance payment for an unseen product here in Nigeria? Naaah, Fam check my profile, I don't event market anything! Just wanted to assist someone sell his ride since I'm a regular visitor to this auto thread!

Owner just called to inform me to suspend the sale first that he's still interested in using the ride for the next 3 wks before travelling out of the country.

I would post it here once available again. Car is in great condition, reason for sale is based on the owner's intention of travelling abroad. Hence the quick sale.
