yeah it does. although given how crap the broadband internet seems to be, is there any point?

1. the english premier league is entertaining. the nigerian premier league is not. the so called nigerian style of of football is quite brainless. it is a stereotype that english teams cannot pass or dribble or whatever because the game is quick. that is a fallacy of the highest order. if as a footballer you lack basic control and touch you wont get very far anywhere. maybe it's not to the level of a spanish or italian player where technique is respected more than athleticism but its even the crappest thug of a footballer like a chris morgan is way better on the ball than any of us here.

football is entertainment. if you're not entertaining, then people will find something that is. if the NPL wants more viewership then appeal to the imagination of Nigerians. It's like with music, Nigerian artistes are respected and successful because they are good. this is in spite of competition from foreign artistes.

2. i dont know where you got the idea that spanish players in the epl dont get called up. the likes of fabregas, torres and before they went back to spain arbeloa and alonso, were essential parts of the squads. and guess what, they play to the system. it's not the epl's fault that amodu has no system, that there is no off the ball movement or that they can't pass to each other. after all, even the likes of burnley and hull have a plan.

whether or not they made a pact with the devil, earthquakes are caused by unstable tectonic plates. not by God or the Devil you know shaking the earth cos they are like bored or something.

maybe because your typing sux?

shoulda wrapped it up first.

interesting debate.

keep fooling yourselves and saying its not your mother tongue. the so called Hindis, Russians and Chinese are paying people craploads of money to come and teach them English.

Yeah the welsh have their own language, but since when was wales a world power.

and given that there are 250 languages or more in nigeria, where does it end? just as you dont feel obliged to learn someone elses mother tongue, why should i feel obliged to learn yours?

i don't see the big deal. its not like her taking my name means she loves me more.

if she's not a muslim, why is she bringing it up?

and all the kids in america on prozac have mortgages too abi

think it only applies to residence permits (eg. student visas, work visas etc) and not tourist visas.

prosties

they're grrrrreat!!!

i think it would be succesful if it was good quality and cheap. also maybe have free wireless for customers and you'll be singing.

akinalabi your posts were disappointing.

are those parts not part of nigeria? or is it because they aren't 'your people'. with such an attitude, why bother going home, i might as well stay abroad seeing as the people here have the same level of apathy for the niger-delta as the avergage nigerian.

i honestly don't care if a chick drinks as long as she's not pregnant. plus there's a difference between getting drunk once in a while and doing it on the regular.

and this

1. It is going to make them age a lot faster, hence make them lose their beauty a lot faster.

2. It is going to ultimately cause medical problems for them in long run.

3. It might end up causing them to transfer medical problems to their unborn children as a result of their own medical problems that occur from their drinking habits.

4. Drinking leads to bad breathe and dirty stained teeth, hence it ultimately constitute itself into a turn off.

5. It would ultimately end up creating a little bit of financial black hole in either their pocket or the pocket of the partners because sooner or later they'll be addicted to alcohol and spend more on it than is realistic.

6. It ultimat ely constitutes a turn off to me as a man cus i don't drink myself and i certainly cannot expect any potential future mother of my children to drink

is a pack of lies.

I'm having a small wedding. In fact, if I can get married in jeans, it's happening.

Ok, maybe not, but definately a small wedding. Some people just want the wedding not the marriage.

To be honest, if my significant other doesn't want a small wedding, we probably aren't going to agree on a lot.

gone are the days of our fore fathers wey their wives dont mind leaving in a hut with them,walking long distances or[b] riding village bicycle[/b]

now they are the village bicycle


these churches just give christians a bad name. churches should be licensed, far too many people are just starting up churches playing on the naivete of nigerians. sad thing is that any agency would just be yet another source of chopping.

some people just watch football to feel among. they should just stick to watching badly-dubbed mexican soaps on ait.  case in point the mongs in this thread saying rio ferdinand is crap.  which is why man u were shipping goals when he was injured .  both ferdinand and vidic are not as good without the other partnering them.

this is why we will never progress, so what if they are employing people? to do what? if they are going to go sit around and do nothing, then what is the need to employ them? just give them the money willy nilly.

Metal Gear Solid codec beeping is my ring tone. It doesn't sound really special.

SMS alert is the sound that gets made when the guards see you, also from metal gear solid.

this is how people fail exams.

someone comes asking for help and you're debating the word a person used.

thats nigerians for you- number one at being bitter, jealous haters.

and NYSC is a joke, doing CD once a week is NOT service to your country. i would have so much more respect for it if it was like military service instead of a government sanctioned internship.

So there's Irish Punk Rock, which uses traditional irish instruments and rhythms and fuses it with punk rock.  eg. dropkick murphys or flogging molly

there's also gypsy punk rock, which uses accordions and stuff and traditional gypsy rhythms like gogol bordello

am i the only one who thinks it would be cool if there was Naija punk rock, fusing our traditional instruments and stuff with punk rock rhythms.

while banning languages is counterproductive, the poster raises some points.

we definately need to crush tribalism. i would like to see a meritocracy where the best people for the job are appointed/elected. as it is, cabinet is too big, because we have to ensure every state is represented, screw that. (for example the US has about 15 departments or 15 people you would call ministers)

if a state does not have anyone good enough to be a minister tough noogies. for too long people have coasted in mediocrity and we've accepted it based on this need for quotas.

this boy,


























, is my hero

botha is a dick though. anything he says is invalid.

some points in this.

i don't believe people necessarily marry white people for residency, surely if this was the case, they would just as soon as easily marry blacks?

personally, i don't care where you're from or who you are as long as we get along.

@fab- so did you get the ipod    that was hilarious. 

i agree with both points raised but it depresses me to see people prostitute themselves.  and @gabrywyl- not all those people are beautiful a lot of the time

I just discovered Najialist. I looked at the dating section on there and its all "I want a sugar mummy" or "I want a sugar daddy"

it's disgusting. why are we so materialistic?

Do people at home even know what the manifesto of each party is or what each candidate stands for? Seems to me like it doesn't make a difference if you vote from Mars or from your hometown as you will still be voting through the same fog of ignorance.
