Why are we so gullible and unrepentant in Nigeria?
The last news was how some idiots killed a dolphin its Now a shark.

The fact that this are animals that are supposed to be conserved, that fish is poisonous.
We keep shouting that Nigeria ecinimy is in comatose, that the country is collapsing, but we all keep doing things that are not expected of a human beign.
We cant manage surplus, we cant even manage normal income without surplusm and now we are eating what we are supposed to leave for the incoming generations to see.
Why are we so primitive sef?
Ha! Hmmm!

Mr man, I need to ask you a question:

Who is responsible for decimating whale populations all over the world? Is it the villagers in Ilaje, or is it Nigerians, or is it the white men who after centuries of relentlessly hunting these animals are now coming to preach conservation?

Even Eskimos are allowed to hunt whales in controlled fashion. So I do not see how one whale which washed up ashore and was killed to provide meat for the community in this era of change constitutes primitive behaviour or lack of conservation. Rather, it is the white men who are primitive; hunting animals without caring for their replenishment all these centuries and now coming to preach conservation.

We should also be smart and shake off these neo-colonialist ways of thinking.

A lot people take an overheating laptop for granted, they believe its some little stuff that can fix up itself but the truth is: FREQUENT OVERHEATING DAMAGES THE MOTHERBOARD! You may also be surprised to know that most overheating problems are caused by PC users. It is worth is it you know the major cause of overheating in laptops, knowing this will help you avoid anything that could lead to overheating in your laptop.
An overheating laptop freezes, restarts by itself or shuts down after it has been on for some time, typically 10-15 minutes. If you start it again, it does the same thing after just a few minutes, maybe seconds depending on how hot the PC microprocessor is. Sometimes, the PC could get so hot that it could boil your favorite noodles (LOL).
You need to understand that the heat you notice in an overheating PC is generated at your microprocessor. Most Microprocessors (especially older microprocessors) normally produce heat once your PC is on as a result of the numerous heavy calculations it does while your PC is on. This heat is eliminated from your PC by a device called the heat sink, the heat sink is always at the vent space noticeable at the side or below your PC. When you allow this vent space to be blocked or you place your PC on an unclean surface especially one filled with dust or debris, the PC fan collects these dusts and debris into the heat sink, when these dust and debris accumulate over time, the PC cannot conveniently release heat again through these vents, the heat produced at the microprocessor is trapped back in your PC’s microprocessor and that leads to overheating.
It is important you keep your PC away from dust and debris, placing your PC on top of a mattress is also not considered wise as little particles of foam also accumulate and block the vent.
Newer PCs with low power microprocessors are better as they generate lesser heat and do not need a heat sink or fan to cool it. These PCs can be used on most surfaces, but never dusty surface. You need to understand that dust is in enmity with PCs. Besides blocking your vents, dust also has other harmful effects on your PC, so stay away from dust.
Sometimes overheating is caused by a cooling system malfunction. Some laptops will show an error message immediately after starting if the microprocessor fan is not functioning properly. However in some cases the fan blades are just loose, broken, bad, or simply malfunctioning and won’t move enough air to cool the laptop. In this case, your CPU cooling system needs to be changed immediately, this should only be done by an expert engineer/technician as an error here can potentially damage your PC.

OP, what is the solution? I have a laptop that sometimes freezes and then the noise from the fan no get rival. I usually cure the illness by putting the stuff under ac and it does the trick. Suggestions are welcome.

Mummy Okochi...I know her very well

Please what is the source of this woman's wealth? Because she had claimed in an interview I read in a magazine in 2007 that she made her money from web designing and hosting at a time when Nigeria did not even have internet connectivity (you had to use NITEL's dial-up at the time which was very slow and noisy).

It is just that the area she comes from is kind of backward and she is celebrated. Otherwise in saner climes, a lot of digging would have been done into her past to know how she came about the money she used in building that massive hotel of hers and other property in her 20s.

Someone cheats on you and is arrogantly unrepentant about it?
Talk about jerk of the year. The Fool has no business being married in the first place. Marriage is for those who can "I'm sorry" when they are wrong. Not those who gloat in their misbehavior.

Another typical Nigerian who just rushes to judgment without getting the facts of the case. The whole thing may even be complete falsehood.

As far as nobody that lives with the couple or the couple themselves have not disclosed the facts of the case (assuming there is any) my conclusion is that there are no nudes, no slapping, no packing, no begging. Period!

So we should tie the Naira to a commodity whose pricing mechanism is out of our control. Hmm.

A coach is paid to take decisions that will help a team to win. You cannot sacrifice winning just to please all 22 players in a squad. Pundits are paid to talk. Gary Neville found out the hard way in Valencia that being a pundit on TV is very different from being a coach in the trenches.

Pundits can say all they want. If Mata is not happy with the new order, he should go back to Spain. By the way, Henrik Mkhitaryan was also German Bundesliga player of the year for 2 seasons in a row, and for me is a more complete player than Mata. So whatever Mata thinks he is not to be substituted, I say he should go take a piss and chill out.

I don't know what Segun Toriola is doing in Rio 2016 at 41 years of age, playing with his grandchildren.

On 1 hectare using imported galvanised wire fence,its about 800k,while the other one is 390k

Thanks for this answer. I think the 2nd option is great and I will try it out, because I am not ready to entertain nonsense from any herdsman. I will have their cows killed if they ever enter my land and I do not want to cause a communal clash.

Mod are u sleeping? Abi u be Man U hater? Com'on change that scoreline my friend!

Hello house, i recently ventured into charcoal production for the purpose of exporting. My products are ready for sale to Nigeria exporters and International buyers. Right now i have challenges finding Buyers

If you have noticed, Alibaba.com which is the biggest b2b commerce website has banned Nigerians from selling on their platform, no thanks to the yahoo guys who have successfully tarnished our image with their scam and dubious activities.

Now that alibaba has gone, how can i get contract to sell my charcoal? If there is any broker in the house let me know how much commission you charge

Thanks

Why not get a Chinese partner?

I NEED AN ENGLISH EDITING ASSISTANT asap, SEND A MESSAGE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED (Hiring immediately)
- You must Know English Language rules, spot mistakes, and give suggestions.
- Available for immediate start
- Available on Skype for work updates
- Must be trustworthy

aprofessor@naij.com

I have to commend your effort here. I hope you can get a good assistant. I got one and the guy is doing wonders for me. To those who took English lessons serious from the primary school days when we used the McMillan English textbooks, this is the payback time.

Funny enough, as he was performing the run-up, I was scared something would happen. He was running so fast and he landed so badly. Pity. 9 months out.

Rohr is a face I have seen a few times on TV.

Germany has the best developmental football programme in the world. If indeed he can work with young talent and hone them into world beaters, then I am up for this.

Look at Lars Lagerback who we brought here and expected to do magic in three months. See what he did with Finland in the Euros, from qualification to the tournament itself. Our people are not patient. They want instant results. This is where our problem lies.

omokab:
some of you people have head but no brain. When Buari approved 11m dollars for christian pilgrimage who among you condemn the act. He approved to subsidise it at the rate of 160 to dollar. You can check vanguard newspapers and the nation newspapers of 14 julu,2015. Your greatest problem is to condemn anything you see about islam. Why can't you condemn it when it was approved for Christians. Either you like or not islam is a blessed religion from Almighty Allah(God)

Mr Man. as a Christian I will tell you plainly. Pilgrimage is a personal affair and government has no business sponsoring or subsidizing pilgrimage. As a muslim who is expected to fulfill the five pillars of Islam, does government have any business with you praying 5 times, giving alms to the poor, etc? It is your PERSONAL responsibility to yourself as a practicing muslim, the same way any Christian who is going on pilgrimage should assume PERSONAL responsibility for going to Israel without government sponsorship.

Let us allow the govt to fulfill its primary mandate and stop wasting money sponsoring pilgrimages. Last time I checked, how much does Israel or Saudi Arabia give to countries that come to spend money doing pilgrimages? This idea of what is good for the goose being good for the gander must stop in Nigeria. Let the goose and gander fend for themselves.

rawhide:
Op..

Why do most car wash operators prefer to share the daily income with the washers as against a monthly salary?

please enlighten me.

That way you are sure they make the returns for you.

These other companies do not pay out physical dollars. They simply warehouse the dollars abroad and they pay out to recipients in Naira. These MTOs are the ones creating the problem. They need to get registered and licensed just like the three companies (Moneygram, RIA and Western Union). Then they need to also send the physical dollars down and pay the recipients in dollars, which can then be sold to BDCs.

That is the thinking behind the CBN action and I think it should be supported.

5ircreepy:
Please ehn you fit educate me on colors not to wear, cause fear don dey catch me...

Red & black:That's for De Norsemen, the Aromates, the Adventurers.
MTN colour: that's for the Bucket men (the Alora Sea Lords)
White & black: freeing the black man with an axe. I saw them use it to free one guy from this hard knock life one fine afternoon in 1993 somewhere.

Time fails me to recall if the Air Lords use blue or green with black. It has been more than 20 years now. Advice: just mind your own business and face your studies. You will be fine.

Where are these mods when you need them? People are here blatantly breaking rules number 1, 2 and 3 and yet nothing is being said or done about them. These tribalists have no place on an educational thread being opened here.

In my school days, one popular one in my school was f***ed up right in his father's parlour in a town very far away from school. That hit took everyone by storm. In my zone, a baggar was killed in a drinking joint in the street right next to his parent's house. I know another that was killed in a bus as he was going home from school during holidays. I know two cousins who were drowned in a river. Another given V-neck in Chemical Engineering in Uniport. The list goes on and on.

No matter how kajaared you are, you will have a moment of vulnerability. All this life no dey pay. See as the guy body dey for that gutter like chicken wey dem don cut im throat. Too bad.

GogetterMD:
Look closely and realise it's a toy gun.
Visit his Facebook page, and apart from the fact that he was a young juvenile thug, exhibiting the normal exuberant behaviors common for his age group, there's nothing outrightly suggestive that the young lad belonged to a cult group.

NB: I don't know him from Adam, neither have I met him before

So you cannot tell a baggar or an adventurer when you see one? Na for Ghana wey you go school?

That red and black cap gave the dude away. A bloody Adventurer.

But I ask again:

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE ADVOCATING FOR MEN TO MARRY WOMEN THAT CANNOT COOK? Are men on Nairaland this deluded?

How can any African man marry a woman who cannot cook?

And how can a man marry a woman who can spend hours doing hair in salon but cannot spend one hour praying for her husband? When I am in the street hustling, I expect to have a backup at home praying for my success and cooking me good food to eat when I come back.

So what is Akin Alabi talking about? Does his mother not know how to cook? Of course is he even married?

How many million children died of starvation in Biafra in 1968-1969? Thank God some of those who masterminded the atrocities of starvation in that civil war are still alive to see how nemesis has caught up with their people. What goes around always comes around.

Tamakay:
She is now sitting at the overflow. Receive ur husband in IJN Amen!

I was feeling quite off at work this morning and decided to take some time off to catch some fun on Nairaland and I have not been disappointed. Kai Tamakay, you don finish Madam Steph-Nora.

How can you get married to a man that never had a wife during his lifetime, You as well go marry any corpse in the mortuary.


Always marrying Jesus when its dawns on them that age and beauty re far past them


Giving flimsy excuses for loneliness

You just made my day. How in the world is someone supposed to stay without having sex for donkey years?

lafex:
Don't mind him jare, estate developer that will be asking for millions of naira. Even the estate developer he's referring to follow this same process to acquire the land and follow their way up.
Which one is better if you can follow up this process or pay millions of naira to the developer?

You mistake intent.

Nobody is saying that what you posted is false. That is the official process. But this is Nigeria. What obtains here is not the ideal but the reality, and the reality is that you cannot get the best possible deal by paying to AGIS and waiting forever. For instance, if I want to start building in October, how possible is it to get allocated land in an area where infrastructural development has commenced?

The estate developers are highly connected. They get information about areas where government is about to award contracts for infrastructural development even before it becomes public information, then they simply get financing and buy off all the plots there with the help of colluding officials in these agencies.

So how can you the ordinary Nigerian match these people? I am after practical stuff not theory. It has taken 1976 to 2013 or so to complete Phase 1 of Abuja: 3 phases to go. The OP's official process will work if you plan to just buy land through this official process and hand it over to your children as an inheritance in the next 40 or 50 years when you are old and on your way out, as by then Phase 3 development may have commenced and those areas would start to look like the city centre.

But if you want to build your own house, simply save the millions and pay the estate developers. Many of them have payment plans and it is better to pay in installments for such land than to use all these bank facilities to pay in installments for cars.

You see, my problem here is that people just go online, copy some BS and paste it here. We all know that this process does not work. Your best bet is to look for estate developers who already have land allocated in an area where contract for infrastructural development has already been awarded. Abuja was built to be developed in 4 phases. Phase 1 is completed and now govt is in Phase 2.

That is a more pragmatic approach, not paying some money into AGIS account and waiting forever. These monies will still be paid when you buy from estate developers, so why not get money and buy from them with confirmed and verifiable papers as opposed to time wasting?

If the OP's method works, then everybody in Abuja for don become land owners far tey.

Many lazy Nigerians would expect to sit down and expect the Government to provide them with food on their table,
yet every night they dream to be Dangote or bill Gates..

Damn right brother. More than half voted APC because they were promised 5,000 a month. Iyaa!

Everything in life is risk. 2k us far less than what some people spend on booze and women. At least pay the 2k and give yourself 50% chance. Pay nothing, give yourself 0% chance.

Na so life be o. Some of today's success stories were achieved from chance opportunities.

The project was mostly funded by the Chinese and our kids are the ones who will pay back the funds. Anyway, I will give the service a trial. Better than plying that Abuja-Kaduna road.
