BusinessRe: How To Make $1,000/month Writing And Researching Online by stagger: 7:10am On Nov 07, 2014
Exoticstan:
Please Ladiwriter et al, I need serious assistance here. My Payoneer Card has been shipped twice yet I have not received it from my PO Box; even though I use the same PO Box to receive all my importation shipments from China. What could be wrong? I first applied in Augus - and I expected it to arrive in September ending; then early October but no result yet. What could be the problem please?
Use the DHL option. Costs $60 which will be deducted from your Payoneer ac. That is what I do and it lands straight to my house. I do work worth $40,000 a year with that card so I xannot allow it to get lost using free shipping.

You should know by now that you get what you pay for in this life. Allow others to eat and God will let you eat from others. It is a divine principle.

Everything you said was sounding PLAUSIBLE.... and l say plausible because most are in the FUTURE TENSE, as most projects that have been "achieved" by this fraudulent govt until.... the bolded parts!

To blame the sate of the road on the NATURE OF SOIL is the height of stewpidity by any illiterate that has access to internet! angry angry

I will tell you something today:
Early this year, l branched to see a Cousin of mine in Ireland-Dublin, on my way from the U.S.
I spent three weeks with his family and it rained EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of those three Weeks! angry angry
It rains so much in that place that they have a joke which goes that "The only reason you see an irish person in church is because he is trying to take shelter from the rain"! grin grin
I am sure those who are familiar with that country will bear me out on this.
I asked my cousin how they are able to survive with this kind of rain ... then he reminded me that "Life here has adpted to and conquered" the rainy environment.

Just use "Google Maps" to zoom-in and view the roads and streets in that country and it will amaze you! A country that does not have ONE SINGLE Natural resources o! shocked shocked
Reason l brought this up is that the country is an Island, completely out of nowhere and it rains there 90% of the time, (dont even talk about the kind of crazy breeze that blows there!) yet... You need to see the roads in this place! You will just love to drive around! kiss kiss

Solid roads, well maintained and very smooth.
They are not complaining about rain or soil yet here in Nigeria, somebody is repeating the same silly excuses that l have been hearing for almost twenty five years when l first visited the East?

How do you expect the roads to last more than "One season" when all the contractors in Nigeria do is just "spray asphalt paint on red sand" and call it road construction?
I drove on the Ife Expressway when it was just completed about 2001 and God, that was my best drive back then (In a V-Boot!) but because of the poor materials used by "Oni of Ife's company" that did that road, it collapsed within two years of construction.
Go and see the same road now, its a mess ..or are you going to blame "rain and soil" for a road in the South West as well?

How about using other methods like "Concrete" for such roads, if Asphalt has been failing since the days of Lord Lugard?
Or are we that daft?

A badly constructed road, due to endemic corruption, will not last more than one season but a well constructed road (using internation standards w.r.t. thickness of asphalt, the right type of base material, et.c.) will last at least 30yrs and all you need do is just small-small patching!

Some of the roads made in the days of Herbert Macualay, are still intact in some parts of Lagos, up till today!
So what is the nature if the soil in Dublin and the nature if the soil on the PH-Enugu road?

What is the vehicular traffic like on that road and in your friend's place?

What is the level of economic activity that leads to such vehicular traffic in both places?

Because u managed to raise money from contribution to travel out for the first time when some of us have lived in some of those places you claim is better than your father's land, you think you now know more than me in such matters. Abeg park well jor!

All these GEJ haters!

Why did the OP not post the pictures of the section of the Okigwe to Enugu section of the PH-Enugu road which has been repaired by Setraco? For your information the contract for the total repair of this road has been awarded and is being done in stages. Why also did the OP not display the road from Enugu to Abakaliki which will eventually connect Ogoja and Bamenda in Cameroun? Or did the contractors working on those roads fall from the sky?

It is well known that because of the nature of the soil and heavy rainfall patterns in the South-east and South-south, roads in this region do not last. Repair them with asphalt and in two years they will fail.

Rather than criticize GEJ repeatedly, we should support the push for the use of new technology to be used in road pavements. The use of asphalt in the South-East and South-South is not a workable solution. Dangote is developing one using a grade of cement. Tomorrow the Igbos here will say they do not want something like that because it is coming from a Northerner.

I have never used any of Apple's products and with the new announcement, I will never commit my money to funding some gay/gay propaganda. That fool of a CEO should have kept his private life private. He doesn't know what his stupid announcement will cause his company.

Christianity EtcRe: CBN Bank Verification Number Is The Antichrist's Number by stagger: 3:21pm On Nov 02, 2014
BigBashiru:
The Bible speaks of a mark of the beast and a number of his name.

Ladies and gentlemen, cbn is bvn is the number of the name of the beast but not its mark.

You cannot buy or sell without it. It's not the mark though so this one is not a hell ticket.
Don't confuse us. The bible is clear about what the number is: "666". The issue here is that the systems that will support the deployment of the number as a currency for buying and selling is being engineered into the world via the "cashless" society.
Christianity EtcRe: Is Sexual Desire A Sin? by stagger: 3:18pm On Nov 02, 2014
nomabeeee:
I have been having this argument with someone. Is sexual desire a sin? I don't really have something tangible to say about it. I really want to know what people think about this. I really hope I will get to have an answer to my question. So I plead with everyone to give matured and biblical comments. God bless you as you do. *Waiting* huh
Sexual desire is not a sin. It is something God gave us to be able to have the urge to want to have sex. However, it is what we do with it that can be a good thing or a sin. It is to be reserved only for a married couple. Any other thing we do outside that now means that the desire can lead to something bad. But the desire itself is not a sin.

Sex was created by God; the devil has made people to abuse it.
RomanceRe: Most Nigerian Girls Are Bad Kissers by stagger: 6:29pm On Nov 01, 2014
EroticAngelina:
true, but not all of them. Guys usually have really bad mouth odour becoz they don't brush their teeth well, some don't even brush at all. truth be told, naija guys and girls aren't good in kissing stuff coz we know nothing about it. but few of them are good kissers.


if you wanna kiss, just go meet white guys/girls. they are the best(typing from experience). most Nigerian guys' mouth can smell ehn embarassed
It is not the teeth that cause mouth odour but the tongue. My General Science teacher taught us in primary 4 years ago. I brush my tongue well, especially the back and I am good: no mouth odour. Try it and see.

My wife doesn't complain, and I am a good kisser, with the ability to make her speak in unknown tongues if I go down below.
PoliticsRe: Army Topple Government, Seizes Power In Burkinafaso...aftermath Of Fracas by stagger: 12:33pm On Oct 31, 2014
Blaise Compraore seized power on October 19, 1987 and had Thomas Sankara his childhood friend with whom he grew up on the same street, ate the same food and spent holidays together, killed and dumped in a shallow grave.

His judgement has been in waiting for 27 years. He that sows the wind must surely reap the whirlwind. I hope he is sent to the firing squad. He should be shown the same mercy he showed his childhood friend Thomas Sankara.

You see, these kinds of issues are an opportunity for creative minds to develop solutions to problems and even development brand new feed formulae which can be sold to the market. Time to put on thinking caps for the poultry guys here.
