This is the best news I have read dis week. This is truly fantastic and shows that there is still hope for humanity. My sincere wish and prayer is dat all protests and hate motivated actions ate met with gentle and mature responses like the one I just read

seun Kelz: Why do Nigerians speak like this, The guy has improved the roads in Lagos, oshodi, looks safer than it has ever been in the last 9 years, there are traffic lights even towards Sango area, at this point I must say, if you expect him to improve everything in Lagos then you are a big foo cos he is no God, and every change comes with a bit of sacrifice. Now the big question is, What has the President done, Am sure someone is gonna answer give him time, And I will, but you don't running your mouth about how Fashola is doing nothing, when the Lagos governor is doing better than some state governors, (names withheld), Go figure out the rest

Guy, this man rules over a state that generates over 25 billion monthly, I definitely expect a lot more frm him. He shld have at least done something bout housing in lagos, forget the tenancy laws cos nobody obeys it. Have u tried buying a house or land in lag?

delvinmaya: Daft post. With the amount of work u mentioned, can even u make a headway? Lets call a spade a spade, why do those sectors have ministers,DGs,PSs if not to overlook? the way some people post, u'd think that jonathan should as well come manage their household, or that he is the witch toying with their destiny

HOw is it a daft post? If a company fails, the CEO takes responsibility for it, in the same way, GEJ shld be held accountable for the performance of the FG. Let's face it, GEJ has not done enough to roll out the drums. Why do we love celebrating mediocrity, why can't we demand a better performance frm our leaders,

takeprofit: 1.Check his records. Hw many projects has he flagged off. How many has he completed.
2.If u think 700 MW is small. Hw many did past administrations before him build? how many has been built during his administration alone.

i'm beginning to realize that no matter what u do, some people will still talk bad about u. Even if Gej cuts 2 of his legs and hands for nigeria, some people will still complain why didn't he cut his head.

the best is for u to ignore such pple and do the best u can do to improve human life and for the records. That's all.

THis guy was elected to serve, shld be evaluated on the basis of what he has done, not what his predecessors failed to do. The 700MW power plant is good but not great, this country needs at least 30,000MW so GEJ wld need to up his game if we are to have uninterrupted power supply

Unbelievable

blink182: For your information, UBA, first bank and Zenith bank can individually give him that loan but to prevent strain, spread risk and let other banks in, they form a lending consortium.

Offshore (foreign) banks and some Nigerian banks ppl...

PAGAN 9JA:
ofcourse he didnt do well! Imagine if you are a harmless snake and I bludgeon you to death just because of your looks! If this was Kenya or some european country, that man would be charged with cruelty to wildlife!

THe snake belongs to that land! The pastors house lies on the snakes land. it has every right to move where it pleases! The snake was here way before your pastor came here with his new found beliefs!

you dumba$$ what do you mean if the snake was not harmful? did they get bitten? The ywere shouting because as kids, they were obviously excited to see it.

and if your pastor can raise his hand on our Gods' symbol, then we Pagans have a right to defend our religious symbols and attack back because it is our duty to do so!

SERIOUSLY, he should wait until it bites or or constricts his kids. Even in the so called European countries, u are advised to have a means of defending yourself if you decide to camp in the bear country. Human life is sacred and should be defended even if it means killing an erring protected wild animal

mike404: O boy that one na sharia law o Don't post anything that could be considered offensive to islam... How about the one that could be offensive to christian

I Believe that rule should apply to any religion. We have pagans, muslims, christians, eckists etc on this forum, not just muslims. Mr Seun please take note

Love him or hate him, SAF is still one of the greatest coaches in world football. In my own opinion, Klopp or Moyes should succeed him as united manager

Reading through most your comments, I get the feeling that most NLs will prefer the thread title to be 'python kills whole family in Anambra'. A snake is a wild animal, maybe some of you believe it won't hurt you, but others may not subscribe to that belief. When such 'unbelievers' encounter your god, they may not pay him homage as you wld cos to them, it's a dangerous animal.

Godman_n: In Anambra, they have villages that do not kill snake. Even in Europe, you cannot kill animals like that.

Our culture must be respected unless when it goes contrary to reason.

I am sick of Ignorant Christians who hardly know they difference between their right and the left hand dictating our what is acceptable and what is not in our tradition.

Bleep stupid senseless copy-carts in the name of Civilisation.

I have witnessed so many crude European Cultures; yet the Brainwashed fools here will never understand the world we are in

What obtains in Europe and every other part of the world is that you cannot kill protected animals except in situations WHERE THEY ARE A THREAT TO HUMANS. That is, you can kill a tiger, lion or jaguar if it comes too close. The pastor found a snake in his bedroom, he was within his rights to protect his family

noskeybaba: MU.MU IT WILL NEVER NEVER HARM ANYONE FROM ANAMBRA. IF IT COMES TO UR HOUSE AND U DONT WANT IT, U SIMPLY USE STICK AND TAKE IT TO THE BUSH. AND THROW AWAY THE STICK WITH IT COS IF U TAKE IT BACK, IT WILL SURELY RETURN. IF U STAY IN ANAMBRA U HAVE TO BEHAVE LIKE ANAMBRARIANS. (IF I GO TO ROME DO LIKE ROMANS) kapish?

Won't hurt anyone frm Anambra...how do you know the pastor and his wife are both frm Anambra? A snake is a wild animal that shld be put down if it comes too close kapish

noskeybaba: I.D.I.O.T! WHAT IS SILLY ABOUT THE TRADITION? HAVENT U HEARD ABOUT LIVE AND LET LIVE? THE PYTHON WILL NEVER HARM ANYONE, THE PASTOR KNOWS THE TRADITION FORBIDS KILLING OF PYTHON YET HE DID, SO LET HIM FACE THE MUSIC.

THe idemili is harmless, agreed, but do you know that some specie of snake have large territories making it difficult to determine if the snake is in fact frm the town. What will you have done if the Pastor had watched the python devour is family because it is supposedly harmless. Will the idemili god bring his family back to life?

Lilimax: I come from Anambra state and in Anambra state, they don't kill PYTHON to be precise.
They kill everyother snake except python.
The snake does not bite people. I grew up to meet this tradition but when asked they said it is a
sacrilege to kill python.
Provided it does not bite me, I move on.
Let them perish with their tradition and belief .

WHat you are trying to say is that you wld wait to be bitten by a snake before attempting to kill it....am not sure that is very reasonable. The venom wld av paralyzed you before you had the chance to strike back. Back to the pastor, he did what any right thinking man will if his family is threatened.

I want dis to extend beyond 90 mins Watagame

Have guys tried travelling to east or Central Africa? Do u know that most of those countries only have one flight (sometimes none) a week frm Nigeria. It is sometimes easier to fly to spain and connect Equatorial Guinea than fly directly frm naija despite the fact that it is only an hour away. These pastors might actually have a point though I don't support the idea of each GO owning a private jet. I believe 5 churches could own one and the GOs fit share am

How much is the cost of a single unit, is it on mortgage and what is the length of the mortgage and interest rate. Those are the questions that will help judge this project

Several people have tried to enlighten us about what happened, some even tried defending the protesting students bur, this doesn't change the fact that they could have handled the situation better. Why burn down the car and (especially) the towing van who was only trying to help clear the accident scene, was it responsible for the mishap? If this is the way our future leaders handle issues I weep for this country

@ Op, av been on plane rides where Britons and Americans behave just as bad as the Nigerians u described in ur post; they got drunk, threw banters and even pranked everyone that there was a bomb onboard. The fact remains that the things uu pointed out are not exclusive to Nigerians

BlueMurder: GEJ has by this ignoble action, formally endorsed corruption in Nigeria. Just when you think he could do no worse.... He has also rendered EFCC, ICPC & CCB totally useless.

I couldn't agree more... well said

Toks2008, I will really love to know more about the business; potential clients, marketing strategy etc... pls send ur email

While I do not support the murder of another person, especially a woman, I still have to agree with FFK that even the most gentle of men can be provoked into murderous rage. That is why civilians, no matter how highly placed, should not own guns

Its a real shame, but EFCC did great by rearresting the guy, this time he gets his 4yrs with no fine option... one question for EFCC, will dis guy be willing to testify against his cohorts seeing that he will be deprived of his freedom, or do they(EFCC) av a written testimony signed by him?

I think you guys have missed the point. i agree that El rufai's retweet only insulted the FG's propaganda machinery, but he should have given it a deep thought before posting such in our deeply polarised society. He should have considered how deeply nigerians feel about their religion and refrained from posting it, this i believe is the point that CAN was trying to make

I just booked a flight to warri via arik( had no choice cos they are the only ones that ply that route), the cost of the flight was 17k while the fg taxes amounted to 11k...smh

How much will I get an audi A8 2006/2007 to lagos

Why would a secret group suddenly begin announcing her members? I feel this musicians are just feeding on the publity the whole illuminati thingy, all they(the artists) want is record sales and if the illuminati rumour allows them meet their sales target, then its a welcome development.

Why do all threads on this forum degenerate into a tribal war, why cant we just discuss the claims made by both Achebe and Ozodi without insulting our different ethnic grps? Osuji may have stepped over a line when he labelled Achebe a narcissist, but he sure had a good argument. The book was based on the author's opinion not facts. Though a masterpiece, it should be at best regarded as another work of fiction from Dr Achebe.

lekibraky: It will go in a long way to declare true figure s of people living in Lagos infancy it's an idea every state should emulate have all your citizens in a data base and it will reduce cost of running population census and bring the illegal immigrant to the open

I really dont understand what you mean when u say illegal immigrants. Is there any requirement, other than being a citizen of naija or having naija visa one has to meet before being allowed to stay in lag? I want states to have a good database of residents, but not ID cards...abi na visa

3 things to do after a break up;

go to a strip club, buy a lap dance, get more lap dance
