obstead200:
I'm no mathematician but even me can attest that this is wrong. OP pls stop misleading our already dull students

Guy stop displaying ur ignorance... You are not a mathematician and yet you are claiming someone is wrong... See, OP is mathematically correct... For those emphasizing minus as a lapse in d prove... (100)-(100) is the same thing as 100-100.... Minus is on its own untill the bracket is opened... Therefore, by applying diff of 2 square rule, it will be (10^2)-(10^2)= (10+10)(10-10)

Oooohhhhhhhhhh..... I can now see the mistake made by OP... There was a procedural in his calculation.... You try sha, kudos

Chaiiii, I don die!!! See money.... All these money way una they talk especially d one for banana island, just carry am come my village, you go buy d whole village, all the people way they inside plus the king... I swear you go still collect change

D guy na confirm sadist.....

PRESS RELEASE.
That meaningless AFENIFERE endorsement of President Jonathan!

As a Political campaign organization, our attention in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential campaign has been drawn to the purported endorsement of AFENIFERE for the reelection of President Goodluck Jonathan. From the available media reports, the predication of that endorsement was on the President’s convocation of a National confab and, a promise to implement same.
For us, there can be no greater puerile reason by an organization to give in its inability to rise beyond jejune considerations in holistically appreciating the essence of the current national discourse. The APC stayed away from the National confab because of its belief that an administration, that had accentuated and exacerbated the ethno-religious cleavages of the Nigerian people in the last five years, is incapable of organizing a meaningful national confab in mitigating the myriads of challenges assailing the Nation State. Secondly, our Party stood on the firm ground against the National confab because the modalities employed in the selection of preponderant number of the conferees by the PDP-led Federal government could only make the outcome of the conference to be used for serving the despicable political agenda of the current administration. It is incongruous to believe that an exercise that did not get the assent of the Nigerian people can be used as a basis for contemplating a people-oriented Constitution! Furthermore, Our Party believes that a President, that is a serial promise breaker, cannot be trusted to keep his promise; it therefore beggars belief where the AFENIFERE leaders got their optimism from, except there are other subterranean considerations for this infamous endorsement! It is a matter of pride that the APC has articulated an implementable program for the restructuring of the Nigerian State, if elected into Office. We shall do this as our Party is peopled with Patriotic leaders, who have kept promises to the people in the past.
For the records, the Yoruba people have been privileged to have Leaders with unmistakable candour and courage in speaking eloquently and unambiguously at critical times in our Nation’s history. At his 6th July, 1974 University of Ife convocation speech, the revered Yoruba Leader, the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo made scathing remarks on the 1973 census exercise conducted by the same administration which he once served as Finance Minister. Dr. Christopher Kolade, a respected Yoruba leader, was unsparing in his condemnation of President Goodluck Jonathan’s show of discomforting insouciance to the insecurity in the land and the President’s apparent lack of leadership capacity in resolving this issue. It did not matter to this ebullient Yoruba son that the administration gave him opportunity to serve as the Chairman of its SURE-P program. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, as elder-statesman and a notable Yoruba Son, has consistently shot down the electability of President Goodluck Jonathan on account of his disposition to alarming institutional corruption, exacerbation of ethno-religious bigotry in the land and obvious incapacitation in tackling the menace of insecurity in the land.
The real reasons for this AFENIFERE’s endorsement may not be known, but these definitely are not in the interest of the Yoruba people that this group pretends to be serving. All across the South West and, everywhere within the Nation space where Yoruba people are found, there is a loud acclamation for Change. This desire for change by the Yoruba has impugned the veracity of the AFENIFERE endorsement.
We hereby advise the Yoruba and, indeed the Nigerian people, to discountenance the endorsement of AFENIFERE as the personal opinion of a group that has no relevance in the politico-economic conditions of the South-West states. We shall continue to work assiduously for the peace and politico-economic well of the Nigerian people.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Letter to my President: By all means, Please avoid a ‘Gbagbo’ treatment!

Sir, I know this missive from me to you is at a risk. I am aware of the fatwa issued by your very passionate aide that anyone who engages in any communication that is perceived as disrespectful to your person shall be arrested. This aide had once ennobled you to the status of Jesus Christ; there is undoubtedly so much veneration of your person! I am also aware of the immense pressure you are in to allow the Directorate of Security Services (DSS) deal, with utter ruthlessness, anyone that is not favourably disposed to your continued reign on the Throne. The Nigeria Police Force, according to the Police Act in section 9(4)&(5) and also the constitution in Section 215 (3), is under your operational control! All these powers can make any Human being assume oracular status.
I am therefore aware of your venerated position as the Principality in the Nigerian nation space. This fact is not lost on me that, in terms of what you are capable of doing (with impunity), you are more powerful than the president of the United States of America! Sir, you will now appreciate the ambivalence I struggled with to finally write this letter to you. I look back into our recent history and, with relish, remember the late Anglican Arch-bishop, Rt. Revd. Joseph Abiodun Adetiloye. He is fondly remembered for his many letters to the Late Nigerian Head of State, General Sani Abacha. It was a period of extreme human rights’ abuses and inconceivable cloud of darkness over the land. But in extreme show of inimitable courage, this cleric pushed through his letters. In one of the letters, he admonished the military junta thus: “Don’t ‘sergeant Doe’ yourself!” Suffice to say that, at this time, men had their courage failing them and would prefer to keep sealed lips to the atrocities in the land. It was at that time that the Junta planned to transmute from a military President to a civilian president. All the five political parties in the land had surrendered to the Junta’s suzerainty over them. Needless to say that Sergeant Doe died after he failed to see the need to read the times correctly.
Let me hit at the point directly now. You came into the office of the President, first by default in May 2010 when your predecessor and Boss, President Umar Musa-Yar’adua, died in office. There was a tiny cabal –comprising of the close associates of the former – that attempted to block your being acknowledged as Acting President. There was unity among the divers peoples of Nigeria to fight that injustice. I remember that, on 14th January, 2010, General Muhammadu Buhari, together with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, submitted a letter to the Senate President for your being sworn in as acting President. After becoming substantive president by default, you started pummeling your enemies, the little but powerful cabal, that once delayed your appointment as acting President, with very insidious ethno-religious propaganda.
Being the first Southern Minority to seek the highest political office in the land, you preyed on these sentiments, coupled with some political gerrymandering as the incumbent president, you won convincingly at the 2011 presidential polls. That was the crescendo of your popularity among the Nigerian people. Suddenly, you started taking very unpopular actions that estranged you from the people. Ex-militants started having more unfettered access to you than official aides and ministers of state. Aside spending (without appropriation) $16 Billion on fuel subsidy, your New Year message to Nigerians (after your election) was a 150% hike in the cost of fuel. It took widespread protests by the people before the hike was reduced to 49%. Of course, this reduction did not prevent the spiraling inflation on goods and services in the land. You started showing hubristic dispositions to matters of corruption with your body language tacitly approving the deafening spate of shady deals by your cabinet members. You promised to employ a sizeable number of our youths in your electioneering campaign in 2011. Nigerian Immigration Service (under the supervision of the Ministry of Interior) brought out advertisement for Job vacancies. The first thing was that, away from the previous practice before your administration, the Immigration department was blanked out of the recruitment process by the ministry of Interior. Furthermore, each applicant was charged one thousand naira. Eventually, the Ministry bungled the process and caused the death of nineteen young Nigerians, whose only iniquity was that they were unemployed. Despite the hoopla that was made, the Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro, is still sitting pretty in his position with no form of recrimination. We were told that Mr. Moro was introduced to your cabinet by a powerful ally, whose friendship you are willing to subsume your responsibility to the Nigerian people for. Our constitutional provisions provide for oversight function of the National Assembly with a view to gauging compliance with appropriation law. But with utter disdain for the rule of law, members of your cabinet have, lately, spurned invitations by the Federal Law makers. You have as your media aides a band of spin doctors with adversarial disposition. The critique of your administration by Citizens was often shot down with cruelty. No Nigerian, however respected, is spared the literary assault of your men in the defense of your administration. It is often said that it is iniquitous to beat a baby and forbid same from crying. Indeed, your policies and actions have drawn anguish in our souls; we are forbidden from crying out because your aides are also around to refuse our tears from being visible to you. For more than six months, over hundred and fifty school girls disappeared from the love of their parents because Terrorists abducted them. Initially, you tried to debunk the story and tried hard to suppress it. The reality of the situation is that the last Christmas was bleak for the families of these girls because, as the Yoruba say “it is better to report of a dead child than a missing child.” On the score of protecting our lives, we are not sure of your commitment to this as the President/Commander-in-chief of the Armed forces. The other day, there was a massive bomb blast in Nyanya, Abuja. You visited the sight and showed a mournful, sardonic look when you saw the gory sight of splattered blood and dismembered bodies of the dead at the bombing site. Some of us started changing our minds that, ‘at last, there will be some commitment to the prosecution of the war on terror.’ But we were dead wrong; the day following, you were in Kano in an illegal campaign rally and dancing deliriously with no iota of sobriety for the pains of the people you are leading. What befuddled many watchers was that you did not order postponement of the event because of the unfortunate act of terror in the land then. The question is: would you show such insensitivity if any of your close relations was involved in that tragic incident in Nyanya? I recall that about a week ago, you lost your younger sister; the earlier schedule for the inauguration of your Presidential campaign committee was shifted by one day! Sir, let me freely share with you a piece of information: in December, 2012, the acolytes of General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) were putting together arrangements for his 70th Birthday party on the 17th December, 2012. Indeed, Bishop Matthew Hazzan Kukah was already contacted as the guest speaker; caterers had been contacted and mobilized. Suddenly, the former Kaduna Governor, Mr Patrick Yakowa and the former National Security Adviser, General Andrew Azazi, were involved in a fatal helicopter crash in Bayelsa state. General Buhari cancelled the Birthday lecture in a manner that portrayed the true statesmanlike spirit in him!
Sir, having been boxed into a cocoon by your making, you have now found it necessary to come out to seek out the same Nigerian people you do not ‘give a damn’ about their welfare. Why? It is time for another election! Unfortunately, the overwhelming opinion among the people is that you have failed in discharging your responsibilities as the President to them in the last four years. In this period, however, a former Nigerian leader (with antecedents of patriotic love for the fatherland) had sold himself to the people. In the various geo-political zones of the country, there is growing popularity of this Patriot. His name is General Muhammadu Buhari. The latest endorsement of his candidacy came from an unexpected source – the heart of the south East- and from a Christian cleric. This is symptomatic of the damaging bruises of disappointments that the Nigerian people (irrespective of tribe and religion) have suffered in the last four years under your administration.
Sir, please, let me draw a parallel of your stewardship with that of the former Ivorien President, Mr. Laurent Gbagbo. Like you, he is well educated as a Historian and with knowledge of physics and Chemistry. In 2000, he became President of Ivory coast through popular will of the people. But in 2010, he would not allow the will of the same people to be entrenched in an election in which his opponent, Alassane Ouattara, was adjured the winner. He was egged on by aides and his wife to refuse to accept the people’s verdict. As a historian, he failed to be guided by the lessons of history on leaders that chose such perilous paths. He plunged his country into needless civil strife through vain ambition. His wife, Simone Gbagbo, will now face charges of crimes against humanity. Meanwhile, Laurent Gbagbo and an associate, Charles Ble Goude, are already in the ICC’s detention center in the Netherlands. The three, for their selfish profiting, plunged the country into a civil war in which 3,000 people died. All these happened because Mr. Laurent Gbagbo became too enamoured with the alluring vanities of Power and did not know when to rein in his insatiable lust for power and the overbearing influence of his alter ego.
Sir, I have freely shared this story with you because, despite your mistakes in the governance of our country, you are still at the threshold of history. You have an obligation to yourself and the entire Nation to allow the democratic will of the people to be freely expressed and respected at the February 14, 2015 presidential election. Generations of Nigerians shall speak fairly about you as the President who truly allowed the entrenchment of deep democratic values in the country by simply travelling back to his home town after he losing an election. Indeed, there is a greater weight of glory that this statesmanlike disposition confers on you than being a second term chief of state! Undoubtedly, history beckons on you as you resist all temptations to tamper with the will of the people. You are aware that Nigeria has become the cynosure of all eyes for its strategic importance in the African region. The global community is desirous of a peaceful, free, fair and credible election in Nigeria.
Let me thank you for your attention Sir. May God bless you more and more Sir.

I don play football bet sote, I nvre shop at all... Na hundred naira I they use play. He get one time way I wan stop am, but as people they share me their experience for betting, how they lost many times, before they eventually win, got me encouraged... For this game, I no go quit untill I collect back my money way 1960bet don collect... Waiting I no be say, all the money way I don lose to bettiing , I go collect am when it is time.... To my amazement sometimes, for betting shop, people go they boast about how they shop 1million naira, hundred thousand naira, 50 thousand naira, while me nevr shop one kobo, he they always do me like say these people they lie joor....

Laff wan kill me... Ijaw of all tribe self they boast of engaging yoruba in violence.... See, na d only yorubas in lagos go wipe out una entire generation while d rest of the yorubas will keep watching, cos una too small for us, I mean small like mad.....

Kudos to yoruba peopIe!!!! Since 800BC, yoruba leads academically while others jejely follows. In my own days as a child, I tried my best to be like dis guy but I couldn't. Anyway, I used to know math considerably untill I met my girlfriend....

Go play 1960bet..... Try gather sure games way go just produce like 2 odds. Place like 20k on top am, you go collect 40k back if you win..... This is my own advise

Nice move, I no trust ATIKU, he feat form another party if he lose

OP is totally blind to see the yearning and thirst of the Nigerian majority for change... Let's wait and see... GEJ must go

Ipledge:
This is my haircut,but am gentle and focus,don't smoke,don't drink and never rude

Na d same hairstyle we they do guy. I no they do bad tins.... I'm cool-headed, I they do d hairstyle cos na d style way feat me well well be dat

Na wa oooo....many things for Naija

Billyonaire:
Stop the insult little pig, if you need facts, always ask in humility. The name Eko means ("war camp", and was given to this land by its Benin conquerors. The Benin People waged war with fishermen from Ijebu Ode who usually come here to fish in the early 16th century. Factually, Lagos is marine habitat and people come here to fish, so the Benin People known for their slave merchandize were also in the colony enroute Ghana (Gold Coast), and they clashed with Fishermen and defeated them, and named this Colony, 'Eko', meaning war camp in their dialect of the ancient Benin people.

I can't laff ooooo BIG PIG, and now benin people established a dynasty in lagos? They now have OBA in lagos ? They are in control of lagos since then ? They have a traditionally traceable family in lagos as indegene ? Stop deceiving ur self Mr Man....

Billyonaire:
To you ? Like you really matter in the scheme of things ? You must think too highly of yourself. You might want to fact-check with me before claiming next time that Lagos belongs to Yorubas, when its clearly a defeated land that only the Benin people would have laid claim to, but they dont. Like I said, I love Yorubas, but I must say the truth according to St. History.

You must be deluded..... Lagos a conquered land ? Who is the conquered and who is the conqueror ?

Billyonaire:
First off, I do not know why you brought Igbos into the discussion. I love yorubas, just like I love Igbos. I am not Igbo if that's what you are misconstruing. If you might want to get back to the history books, then you will figure out that the name the Lagos was given this land by the Portuguese and the name Eko was given to the land by Oba of Benin about 650 years ago. These are facts.

You should have done well by proceeding to state the history of OBAS in lagos, starting from the first to the present one, which tribe they belong and in what length of years was their reign. You stated 650 years ago, but Y don't you find out the population of the yorubas to other tribes in those years.... To me, your historical analysis is inchoate until you do as I said....ok ?

Billyonaire:
We are discussing as men, do not insult Igbos. Igbos were never interested in Politics seriously until now, these are people who thrive on individual entrepreneurial skills and Trading acumen, I respect them a lot. Now that Igbos have decided to venture into politics, watch out for the effect of 45% of 21m strong Lagosians. Igbos are natural invaders, they have invaded and taken over Lagos economically. Politically, they are unstoppable only if they decide to run. I love Igbos, and I also love Yorubas. None of these 2 great tribes own Lagos.

How are you lagos owner.... You are just making me laff hysterically. lagos is no man's land, but Y igbos did not form part of the delegation that represented lagos in the concluded national conference ? Y don't you people fight for lagos as no man's land to be included as part of the conference resolution ? You people should stop living in ludicrous duplicity, every other tribes in Naija knows lagos to be ancestra home of the yorubas, but the flat-headed will continue to fight for lagos out of envy. Yorubas will not take you people serious until one of una representative at the legislative chamber move a motion that lagos should be included in the constitution as no man's land... The day they move such motion will be the end on igbos in lagos
