I do agree that okada has caused a lot of heartache in Nigeria. Lots of lives have been destroyed through poor handling of the bikes by riders. However, that is not to say we should throw away the babywith the bathwater. Rather, what is required is proper orientation of the riders by the police e.t.c. and a conscious effort about safety by we the passengers.

Only that will stem the continuous injury and death associated with bad riding habit in Nigeria. Okada, to me, like every other attempt at making life easy at an affordable rate, has come to stay.

Orientation of the riders and caution by passengers is what we need.

I weep for Nigeria. I am shocked at the people posted in here and the extent people will go to for money. It is really terrible that these fellas cannot turn to more creative means of making money. We need to give the contents of the scammer blog more prominence than it currently enjoys.

@poster,

abeg me i no see any pictures o. So, where are the pics?

@siskill,

such a long story I would say. I dont believe it is in the nature of man to cheat. Methinks, its just human nature to have some men cheat and some others dont. Likewise women - both single and marrid - have been known to be caught in the web.

Since, the nature of women is more reticent and introverted they are less prone to stray. Moreover, because our society is less likely to positively accept the cheating housewife/ girlfriend e.t.c. women are somewhat at a disadvantage when it comes to cheating.

Rather than generalise, I would say it depends on the individual. As you find the cheating male, so will you find a cheating female. Its more of an individual thing.

Also, men are likely to look on the art of cheating as their preserve and women have helped them immensely with preserving that kind of illusion whilst they (women) go ahead to do their own thing.

@jenny,

thot u were married at 21. So, why the search?

[<sub>s]@tommy

i only agree wt d part of women like love making alot,but concerning d woman that leaves her husband for another man,i don't think so,i was a 21 and a virgin when i married my husband(hard to believe though but its d truth)i was very young and full of life,but the sexual satisfaction i get from my husband is enough that i can't imagine looking else where for it.

@chinda
you're right ,its when d man cannot perform then a woman go look ou,but no be say na every woman dey look out,if d guy is good then y look out? [/s]</sub>

Hi All,

yes it is possible to import cars into Nigeria legitimately through the Seme or Idiroko borders. The vehicles will be assessed based on set rates and the fees due will be paid before the vehicle is brought in. However, to the best of my knowledge these are for cars that fall within the 8-year age limit - as I am yet to see any older than 8years that has been legally brought in through these two points.

Also, like its been mentioned earlier in here, you could have your vehicle 'flown in' (get what I mean?) - if they are over the age limit. Infact, this is about the easiest way to bring in vehicles from Cotonou and Lome.

I am not  a car dealer, but I have been to Cotonou (don't ask me what I went for) and the only people allowed to drive cars that have been bought by foreigners are actually the citizens of Benin. And, when your vehicle is brought out from the park you have two weeks within which to get it out of the country.

Nigeria has been losing money for ages through this mean. Once again, it is possible to legally bring vehicles from Cotonou to Nigeria.

robby,

I love watching planes too. Infact, I live in an area that is close to the airport. I watch planes take off and land for hours. Ihear all the sound they make. The acceleration and whining sound when they take off. The deceleartion and screech when they land. Its cool. I get see see all the planes, their markings e.t.c.

@poster,

nice one.

@ituen,

is this for ur people alone or are others invited?

@AORemi,

thanks. Infact what you sent is comprehensive enough. I am actually making arrangements for something. I will let you know in here as soon as I am through.

Regards.

@poster,

nice one. Real tight. Though I couldnot understand most of the communication between the tower and the piolt. But, the punch is in the end where he asked the pilot to recite the prayer for the dead. Thats real tight. Well done. And, please lets have more of that.

Gentlemen,

please welcome the sedan of Year 2007 , the Toyota Camry 07

This is too good to be true. I guess case continues in heaven then, no be so.

Met one, who was quite nice and fun to be with. Been on the phone with a couple of others. They all sound nice and very courteous too. I believe Niralanders are generally okay.

Hi Everyone,

its nice to know that everyone has nice things to say about their different partners (both married and those in relationships). Please keep it up.

As for me, still reviewing the whole situation, it's been years. Well, still thinking,

fortune05,

hope you know that Kunu and Zobo contain sugar as well. It is only that the quantity of sugar used varies from 'manufacturer to manufacturer'.

@Enigma,

then that mean I have to get a DSTV Smartcard. And, anytime I want to watch those channels I would have to remove the MyTv smartcard I believe.

Thanks for ur reply.

Hi Everyone,

I just hope I could get someone in here who could assist me.

I have a Strong Decoder on which I subscribe to My Tv. The guy that did the installation convinced me to buy a smaller dish (than the one that came with MyTv) and install along with the original one such that I can enjoy Nollywood. This I did. Recently, Nollywood repositioned their servces, and I called my guy in to sort out the issue. He repositioned the dish and scanned the stations again.

Now, I have a total of 132 Channels on the decoder. However, I can only view 46 channels.

Now, the issue is that some of the channels on the decoder show a dollar sign ($) in front of them and indicate that they have been scrambled. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE HOUSE HERE THAT CAN HELP WITH A CODE OR SOLUTION ON HOW TO UNLOCK THESE CHANNELS. These channles have very strong reception - 86%, whereas some of those that I catch on MyTv are just like 18%.

Infact, the channels I would like to watch out of the said channels are as follows:


MM2; Ch O, SS Max; BBC F; SS3; SS1; MM 1; MNet W; CRIME; SSsel; Dsny; SABCA; Actio; MTV B; BBC W; SS2; SS10; Mstar; BBC P; MNet E; HallM; EuroN; ESPN; CNN; MTV; B4U; Boom; SS6; SkyN; SS7; SS5; SSuspen; Metro and EuroS,

Please is there anyone able to help.

Thank you.

@poster,

hope you are not into advanced fee fraud. The fear of the EFCC is the beginning of wisdom. Ask those that have been their guests, and u will know better than to do this kind of thing.

@ samanthaZA ,

I tried checking for your age to see at what stage of life you are in. Unfortunately, there was nothing to show how old you really are. However, I will proceed believing that you are truly of age - between 25 and above.

The stage we are in at any point in life determines our need at that particular point in time, especially with our relationship to the other sex. First, you need to convince yourself that you are not confusing 'infatuation' with 'true love'. As you related your experience, I could visualize you physically gushing over 'him'. Yes, such things do happen. But, as we grow older our needs and expectation of the opposite sex transcends their ability to take our breath away. We become more sated by just being around them. And, what we then desire form them is just their 'companionship'.

I am afraid that you have somehow turned this fellow into a knight in shining armour. I am happy tohear that 'he' has been reticent in his dealings with you. I am happy to hear that he has been very matured in the way he has handled his interaction with you. You should thank your stars that this guy truly has genuine feelings for you. Else, he would have taken advantage of you and moved on with his life.

You sort of trivialized your relationship with your ex. You were together for a long time. Moreso, you have a child together. Where I come from, the elders have a saying to the effect that ' a woman that has a child for you, is no longer just a woman you had a fling with'. You seem to have allowed your affection for 'him' to blind you to the seriousness of what you had with your ex.

Come to think of it, are you sure that your feelings for 'him' did not contribute to your separation from your ex. And, the speed with which you nearly started a relationship with 'him' just after your break-up is suggestive. I put it to you (as the Lawyer said to the Accused) you broke up with your ex hoping 'he' would accept you with no strings attached.

I salute 'him' - he is a man among men - for being able to hold himself up till now. What with you literally throwing yourself at him.

I plead with you to tread cautiously. 'Cause fools dare where angels dread. Matters of the heart are worthy of our serious considerations, unfortunatley in our hurry to sate out 'lust and love' (since we are often unable to separate the two) we rush headlong and get entangled where we need not.

Whichever, way it goes, I wish you the best. I am sure you will ultimately take the right decision.

Best wishes.

@enokoko,

so how much will your Camry 07 go for please.

Thank you.

Madamkoko,

I certainly did not pass any judgement on you. I only asked you to get a life. Stop complaining about the fella. If you want him, keep him. If you dont want, chuck him out.

I am not one to start casting stones.

And, I like the new you. Get on all the dates you can, and you certainly will find the man for you.

Good hunting luck.

Nairalanders,

now that you heard that the price is negotiable. You can now go ahead and price. Need I tell u that you would be buying a great performing car in the Camry '97 when you buy one. Good luck.

@ajagx1,

thanks for the spirit with which you have taken the advise. You are indeed very kind.

Ladies,

it is not polite to snoop. Come to think of it - when you eventually , marry a guy (in case he is so adept at really hiding things and u never get to know tiill you marry him) would you snoop on him everyday of your life?

It is just not polite. Moreso, you would never have peace of mind that way. Though, I know that these days trust is in short supply. And, either party to this discussion (Men and Women) have proven over time to be mostly out for Number One - themselves.

Trust, but be guided in your relationship. And, in the process of snooping you find something you believe is incriminating (how do you ask the guy about it, without letting on that you were actually going through his stuff). Another scenario, if (really and truly) there was a sensible explanation for whatever it is you find (will the fella trust you, ever again).

Come to think of it, people who snoop around eventually end up seeing whatever it is they want to see. Garbage in, garbage out. Has 'someone' heard of 'self fulfilling prophesies' pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Be careful, and I say this with all sense of responsibility.

Oh, lest I forget, Will I Snoop?? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, nice one. I am very curious and ask all sort of questions, I just try to keep myself in check from snooping. Well, even though, i would have loved to I dont. But, what the hell, I advise you to snoop if u must and you are just about dying of curiousity suspicion, but dont get caught out.

ajagx1,

please take the advise of some of the posters here and have a rethink on the price of your vehicles. Except, and maybe you brought them in at a higher price yourself - dunno.

In November last year (2007) I bought exactly this type of car you have on display here for One Million and Twenty-Five Thousand naira (N 1, 025, 000) landing cost. It is the same colour and type as the one you have on display here. Infact brauneyes helped me check out the VIN on Carfax on this same thread. Dont worry, I will post the carfax report here for you shortly.

Please review your prices.

Olayinka,

first off when you are about to get involved in a touchy topic like u just did, make sure you get your facts right. Also, make sure you are polished enough to carry through with whatever your topic is.

And, by the way. How do you cope in the UK, especially with such attrocious use of the English Language. My man, you should be disappointed in yourself. Haba, see the way you just 'scatterred grammar'.

Abeg, take am easy o. Next time you will learn not to be an amebo.
