EducationRe: Covenant Varsity Produces 88 First Class Students by Sweetlemon(f): 5:53pm On Jun 30, 2012
All these bad belle people sef! Let me tell u, C.U is a very strict university. They actually force their students to study, there is a time table for all students activities that they follow strictly in that school. And most of the students there are fresh from secondary school. That's why they have young graduates. Their results are very real, trust me. 1st class is not something u can easily buy.
PoliticsI Am Sick And Tired! by Sweetlemon(op): 4:32pm On Jun 29, 2012
Of praise singers and sympathizers of politicians. Those who have for one reason or the other refused bluntly to tell their heros the truth. This is one of the major reasons why Nigeria has remained stagnant. Too many praise singers around our politicians, the noise of their praise singing drowns the cries of the masses, the larger population who see no reason to dance to the drums of the prasie singers.

I am tired of the excuses these praise singers give for their heros.
1. they say "he is not a magician, one year is not enough, he needs more time"- Pray tell, but during that one year of his tenure, did he not collect salary? why can't he then do something to show for the salaries and allowanceshuhhuhhuh?? If one year is not enough to show something TANGIBLE that we can see, feel, and even touch with our hands, then I am sorry, one year is also not enough to collect salary and allowances. Chikena!

2. They say "Nigerians are very impatient, Nigerians are hard to please"- oh really? Impatient? so waiting for years and decades (even as things worsen by the day) for politicians to fulfill their promises is impatient? oh! I see! please go and try saying that the Americans. Go and tell them to be patient with Obama on his health care and other tax-payers related policies. Tell them that Obama still has another 4 years to rule so they should be patient and wait without complaining. Tell them to vote him in again because he is a black man or becuase he gave them promises to fulfill them in in his 2nd term. Whatever they say, please take that as the reason why America is where it is today.

From what I know about Nigerians, like other Africans, we really are not so difficult to please. Just give us a comfortable bed to sleep on and we are cool. In Nigeria, any president that can solve our electricity problems will win the hearts of most of us. In fact, such a president does not have to do any other thing and most of us will fall at his feet and worship him. FACT.

You sypathizers should get it into your heads that Nigerians are crying out loud now because things have gotten just too much for us to bear. We are tired of being punished because of some cabals who make up just about 1% of 150million people. We are tired of hearing of billions, (not millions anymore) disappearing and nobody does nothing. We are tired of hearing of accidents cause by bad roads, We are tired of hearing of plane crashes caused by faulty planes, who the hell are those in charge these and why the hell are they not getting sacked AND prosecutedhuhhuh?? We are sick and tired of seeing people die, sick and tired of hearing somebody say that Boko haram has members in his cabinet yet he does nothing to fish them out while the rest of us die one by one. We are sick and tired of cosmetic surgery, we need total healing. And the time to ask for it is NOW!

As for the rest of us do not let anyone put you down for asking for your right as a citizen of a country where natural, human, and man made resources are in abundance. We are not asking for too much, just a comfortable environment for us to be able to thrive in. No matter how good a seed is, it can not germinate in an unfertile land. we are not asking for the govt to give us food, all we need is for our leaders to water the ground for us and we will find our own way.

Thank you

Ajiro22: Msheeeeeeeeeeew,Nigeria problem is less spiritual but more of political.GEJ knws all our looters,bring dem 2 book,collect d loots,convict dem, use d loot in creating biz enabling environment i.e security,stable electricity,gud roads and means of transportation,create employment by means of channeling govt expenditure to SMEs nd general industrial devt,den u can now pray 4 God's intervention.This great country has all it takes to grow in terms of natural endowments nd human capital but wen leaders leave d substance nd pursue shadows these are the consequences. I really love GEJ i want him 2 succeed nd i knw he can succeed only if he avoid his detractors,sycophants around him. Crying at every crash sites kneeling down for prayers 24/7 will not help.
Now this is someone who really loves GEJ and wants him to succeed by TELLING HIM THE TRUTH in a constructive way. Not like those annoying, pathetic, praise singers whom I seriously doubt have any iota of brains in their skulls.
God bless you for this sir! Most of us wish GEJ could perform, it's just that people are so frustrated and afraid for our children's future and that is why they insult him. But it is our dream to see him do well

Your wedding day is not just any day or any ocassion, Its a day filled with memories you would want to keep forever (except of course you are not getting married for the right reasons) so you cannot use the excuse of "afterall I will be wearing it for only a few hours!"
How in God's holy name would I wear ANYTHING a bunch of strangers have already for my once-in-a-life-time momoment with the man of my dreamshuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuh? It does not have to be an expensive dress. Just something decent and pretty enough for you to feel special in.
The only excuse for that is if finances are just toooooooooooooo tight and none of us prays for that or do you?

Sadly, I was a big fan of Uncle Jonah. I was so impressed with his seeming 'meekness' and mistook it for humilty. I was so sure he was our messiah! Not every GEJ critic is a Buhari supporter (I am not) In fact most of us are his ex-fans
PoliticsRe: If U R In GEJ'S Shoes What Will U Do To End Boko Haram Attacks? by Sweetlemon(f): 10:57am On Jun 22, 2012
GEJ's apologists should stop all these what-would-you-do-if-you-were-in-his-shoes tactics abeg! Not everybody can know what to do cos not everybody can be president. not everybody is equipped with the necessary attributes of a leader and THAT is why leadership is NOT for everybody but for just a few people who have what it takes. Our own job as the electorate is to search for make sure that we only install only the people who have what it takes and make sure we make them accountable to us. Shikena!
PoliticsRe: Brazilian President To Lead Delegation Of Businessmen To Nigeria by Sweetlemon(f):
edicolove: My dear brother, I live in Lagos, not in Thailand or Malaysia or Belgium. I see people everyday in Nigeria go from zero to millionaires. The woman selling food at my street junction is building a house somewhere in the outskirts of Lagos. I have never bought that crap report that says Nigerians live on 2 dollar per day. It was cooked up by NGO's who want to use it to scam wetsern nations for donations. I have worked with Nigerian NGOs and I know what they do. I repeat again, Nigeria is a gold mine. The vulcanizer on my street has a half plot with his own house somwhere around akute in Ogun state. He makes at least 3000 every day. A keke napep guy makes on an average, 5000 naira per day. Much more than a regular bank staff. The people who really suffer in Nigeria are young graduates who are too proud to harness opportunities around them and the very very poor who cannot afford money to start a small business. But even small cooperatives exist everywhere that came provide small loans. Jesus said in the bible that "the poor you will always have with you". That is why there are poor people all over America and Europe and don't even mention China and indian.

Nigeria has her many problems, but that doesn't stop it from being an investors gold mine.
#Thinking aloud "Why do people on this forum call me 'brother' all the time? Is it becuase they hardly see women having intelligent conversations outside brazilian hair, BB, and mary Kay?"
Back to the topic, you are right and you are also wrong. perhaps because you are just trying to be optimistic and there is nothing wrong with that. However, it should not make you close your eyes totally to reality. Closing your eyes to your problems does not make the problems cease from existence, it only delays the trouble

nagoma: I believe the guy cannot even read the writing on his brand new T- Shirt obviously given to him for this picture. Expect more of such gimmicks . The purpose is to drag in every Muslim into this and lump them together with BH while ignoring a clueless government's unremarkable effort and possible complicity.
I suspect so too

PoliticsRe: Brazilian President To Lead Delegation Of Businessmen To Nigeria by Sweetlemon(f): 9:23am On Jun 22, 2012
edicolove: I have just realised that the problem with NL is that many of the posters here are living in diaspora. They keep saying investors will not come to Nigeria because of security issues and power and that if they come, they will see the situation and relocate somewhere else. This is what I call "ignorance on rampage".

Nigeria is among the top 10 hottest countries to invest in the world. If you don't know that, then I feel sorry for you. Investors are pouring into Nigeria in their droves and they are making it big. Now I see why they are making it. It is because Nigerians can't see beyond their nose and go around bad mouthing themselves instead of taking advantage of the opportunities available. I fear for our future generation because by next year, when the power privatisation is complete and power becomes more stable, many of our core industries will be controlled by foreigners. Reason is that these foreigners are already on the ground as we speak and investing madly. Do you know Chi, the makers of chivita, now runs a large farm in oyo state. They now produce large portion of their fruit juice from their Nigerian farm. Do you know MTN is now about the biggest telecoms firm in Africa? They attained that solely because of Nigeria's patronage. Airtel and Etisalat are also enjoying big growth, thanks to Nigeria market. This is all in the face of BH and poor power supply. So I wonder where they will be when we attain constant power supply. Nigeria is an investor's gold mine.

F00ls come to this forum and say crap. They have no clue what investment opportunities are all about. I can bet some of them posting here are yahoo boys and fraudsters. To suggest that there should be no investment drive because of boko Aram is very stup1d! That is like fast tracking the success of BH. That is exactly what they want and am happy GEJ has refused to hand it to them. They want us to do nothing but come to a halt. They want us to stop making any kind of progress and focus all attention on them. Then they would win. I am tempted to believe some people posting here are BH supporters. Only a BH supporter will advocate that we stop making progress as a nation and pu all our attention on BH.
Ok, fine! what an intelligent post! But let me ask you this question, who EXACTLY are the people benefiting from all these investment? Ordinary Nigerians like You and me? how has all these investments increased our employment rate? How has it reduced the poverty rate over the years? Can't you see? Nigeria's wealth is ONLY for a selected few. Just a few selected people! The rest of us are being taken advantage of and being made to pay for what they enjoy. Thanks to our corrupt leaders.

Beaf: Cool move GEJ!
Aside from her obvious interest and commitments in our power sector, Brazil is a leader in many fields Nigeria might be interested in, especially ethanol production. ALL [/b]Brazilian cars run on a mixture of ethanol and petrol; the is [b]NO car in todays Brazil that runs on 100% petrol. They have corn for ethanol production, we have cassava which produces high grade ethanol. So why not?

Brazil is also a World leader in the production of beef, they could show us a thing or two about how not to walk cows from Sokoto to Warri and make millions. They have one of the most advanced agri-industrial technological bases in the World and would make much better partners than most other countries. It could be a match made in heaven.

Go GEJ!
Fresh Air! cool

conyema12: drive home ur point by giving us a run down of what the Brazilian president spends on food... Meanwhile am not in support of whatever you are claiming that our HOS consumes..neither do I eat cassava bread....

I still maintain that the relationship between Naija and Brazil if established will certainly improve things and impact on the socio-economic well being of nigerians. Improvement in the $2/day for most Nigerians will certainly be one of them.

queensmith: I expect a man (who is trying to justify his perversions) to say this, but I will never expect it from a woman, so the 30 year old women in your country have the sexual libido's of 50 year old men? I knew Nigerians were abnormal but this is something! Well done to you guys, now chasing little girls everywhere finally has a logical reason!
I'm not even sure a 50 year old man should be having children, how long does he have left? I would not advise that at all.
She's not content, there is something wrong with her head, she needs her head examined! How on earth can she find the old man attractive! *eurgh*
A 30 yr old woman is a little girl??
Excuse me, but are you married?
CelebritiesRe: Agbani Darego To Marry Timi Alaibe by Sweetlemon(f): 3:43pm On Jun 19, 2012
queensmith: the key word here is content, you will not actually be happy. Nobody can be happy for such because it's damn disgusting, your daughters husband will be the same age as you- seriously what is good about that?

about happiness, what kind of happiness can a young woman find with an old man? A woman thats full of youth, the old man is closer to death, impotence, diabetes and all those conditions of age. She will spend her youth looking after a dem old man?

Anyways it makes sense, we are known for such perversions, reasons why old men think its ok to chase young women about the gaffe. They don't actually realise it's perverted and they all need help.
Excuse me, but what is so youthful about a 30 year old woman?? Have you ever heard that women have body clocks (sexually and reproductively) ? Do you know that a normal 50 year old man has more chances of bearing children than a 30 yr old woman? stay there dey do I-too-know
Secondly, if she is content, wetin come concern you there?

If God forbid, my daughter has to wait till that age to marry, I will be fully convinced that she's a full grown woman who knows exactly what she wants and who is wise enough to make her own decisions. As long as I see her happy in her marriage, I will be content cos that is all that matters. HAPPINESS! Madam I-too-know!

You see! @op, thank God you took my advice to shine your eyes wella before getting married to him. Nigerian guys of today are fast turning into gold diggers. They want to marry high earning women all in the name of marrying an "independent woman" so that they can shy away from their God-given duties of being the main providers of the family! So many women have fallen into this trap thinking "oh! he admires my abilities, he is proud of my achievements" only to wake up to reality the night after the honeymoon! because the truth is that we women love to be taken care of even if we have our own money. FACT!
Men!
p.s,There are still some good self-respecting ones out there who still firmly believe in taking the lead roles in caring of their wives and kids finances even though their wives earn higher.
Goodluck to all of us!
