mithel: now you have crossed the line,nigeria is a country with 150 million people,and am sure the scammers and scam supporters alike are not up to 10 percent of that,and mind you 10 % is 15 million people.....so saying he is in the minority is bullsh*t,Nigerians are not scammers,we are just unfortunate that our population is so much that,even when 5% of us are doing something bad,it looks like the whole nation is involved.......abi who go say 15 million aint plenty.

Sorry, he's in the minority. OF all the songs in Nigeria, why did 'I go chop your dollar', 'Yahoozee' and 'Maga don pay' rise to the top of all the charts?

Scammers may be in the minority, but there's a large population of boneheads that are scam sympathizers!

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]If anything, there are more Chinese, Russian and Eastern European scammers than there are in Nigeria, yet would Norton try this with Russia?[/quote]Yes, the Chinese and Russians send FAR FAR more spam and scam e-mails than Nigerians do. But you know what? The Eastern-European type scam has one objective in mind: liberate you of your credit card details and drain some cash from your account. Everything is done impersonally and once you're hit, they move on.

On the other hand, the Nigerian pattern is much more repulsive. They call you up on the phone, gain confidence and betray, empty accounts and credit cards, coerce the victims into borrowing more and more money (driving them further in debt)...sometimes the victims are put in physical risk when they send you dud checks and make you go to the bank to cash it in. Many innocent people get arrested for attempted fraud at banks, putting them in further legal as well as financial trouble.

There are certified records of not a few people committing suicide after a Nigerian scam hits them.

So yes, there are much more emails from russia promising cheap viagra or cialis or penile enlargement pills. But the Nigerian ones (while fewer in number) are much more odious.

Why are you sanctimonious dolts so offended by this?

You m0r0ns kept quiet when Nkem Owoh's 'I go chop your dollar' video made it to the top of the charts
You m0r0ns kept quiet when Olu Maintain did his 'Yahoozee' hit track
You m0r0ns kept quiet and had fun when Kelly Hansome's 'I go chop your dollar' became No 1 on all Nigerian charts.


You m0r0ns bloody well keep quiet and accept that the email scam has now been affectionately termed 'Nigerian email scam'. it's part of the Urban Dictionary now so either you live with it or not.

If you really feel outraged about this, instead of ranting and raving on Nairaland, why not gather a neighbourhood militia and raid your nearest cybercafe to catch tens of these youths in the act?


Nigerians will faithfully report strip clubs to the Lagos State Government but keep quiet when they see gangs of bare-chested louts sending thousands of scam mails apiece to foreigners. Nonsense

PS: As i speak, 'I go chop your dollar' and 'maga don pay' videos are still on Youtube, gathering loads of comments from 'Oyibo' people that are very critical of Nigeria. Why hasn't any of you complained about those?

bigrovar: I have to say that I have been truly impressed by the professional way the ministry of defense have handled the deployment of our troops. That we are handling the transportation of troops and materials goes show the state of our airlifting capability.

Um...isn't that what the C-130s are there for? Lifting men and materiel?
There's no indication that armored vehicles are being airlifted in too, so what exactly is the complication in this?

Where's the 'impressive creativity and style' in the video that the OP promised?

Absolutely nothing exceptional about that video. Smh

eikeem: Police sources alleged that the victim was lured from her Festac residence to an estate at Apapa to attend a Christmas party on 27 December, 2012.

Hmmmmm........ Looks like there's more to this story. Strangers couldn't just have 'lured' you to a party if there wasn't a previous history somewhere. Friendship is good but we must exercise caution and apply common sense in our quest for 'networking'.
As for the boys, I hope justice is effectively dispensed cos we all know what the Nigerian police is capable of.

Don't be a m0r0n and try to put any blame whatsoever on the girl. did the article claim they were strangers?

kokoye: Were these guys known friends ..or just strangers that inteved her to a party and she agreed to go to a party with them without any backup?
The response to this question will help to decide what to say to the girl: sorry or be wise next time.

Every single response to the girl should be 'sorry'. What kind of imbecilic monster will utter 'be wise next time' as a response to this savage abuse? What does it really matter if she knew them or not before? Have YOU never gone anywhere with friends without a 'backup'?

joymary7: the bible has notin to do wit this, as an elder sis to my bro i ensure he gets everytin he wants, our parents are nt rich but im married and i try to do a lot for him all tru his university education to his service yr to his day as a job seeker..... After all these sacrifise he beats me up becos of his wife? If i no kill am tht day i will curse his entire generation. Wife ko wife nii... I will never allow my husband beats any of his sis for my sake

Do you also have sex with him? Do you bear his children? Will he swear an oath to love and protect you until death parts you two?

Na people like you dey find am easy to use their sibling's kids for ritual

I repeat, for those who are too doltish to understand: Once a man marries, his immediate, most important family remains his wife and kids.

[quote author=Okija_juju]Funny I have never laid a hand on a woman ever in my life...

But like I said, I suport the man. If a woman left her house, her home, her family to go to another mans house and harrass his wife.. ANYTHING SHE SEE, MAKE SHE TAKE!!! Period!!

The ability or inability for a man to shut a woman up without physical abuse is neither here nor there.. I am a strong believer in violence. It is the last resort in conflict resolution. People may not like it, but it works all the same. That woman was his elder sister which gives her the height and natural authority advantage. She prolly thought she could bully him like she prolly did when they were kids.. Sadly, she forgot that he was now a grown, married man..

SHE GOT WHAT SHE DESERVED!! [/quote]Shebi na PH you dey? You must let me buy you a beer sometime

donchris369: Wow, beat my sister because of my wife even to the extent of dripping blood. Wow... When we were struggling together from childhood, going to primary school, secondary school and even university, pulling things through together where was my wife. When we were drinking garri together in our struggling days in a very harsh condition, where was my wife. When people were making carricature of my family, even taunting us where was my wife. Now am a made man, rich and get myself a wife, i should now turn against my family. Beat my elder sister for what? If i didnt make it in life, will my wife look my way at all, but, i guess my sister will still put effort to make me a made man. Op did you say my elder sister? my elder sister is probably a senior to my wife, so why should my wife say nasty things about her to disrespect her? Wow.... I love my wife but, i will never turn against my family because of her. GOD forbid bad thing. Oya, i know all the married women in the house will want to take on me now. But, ask yourselves if your junior brother you sufferred for beats you up because of his wife, no matter the reason how you will take it.

I feel so sorry for anyone who marries you sha.

You can even re-write your comment and exchange 'wife' for 'children'. Afterall, where were your kids when you and your sister were drinking Garri?

it's cowards like you that give men a bad name. You are the head of your new family when you marry, you take an oath to protect and provide for your family. Dey there dey act like mumu...very soon your best friend who was there with you when you were struggling will start spanking your wife and you'll be looking on with approval.

Lolaabokoku: u beta scramm!!! Let me share dis short story wid u; in 2010 i met a 29 yrs old guy, he's cute, brilliant infact he has all d quality evry lady wanted in a man, in a very short time we got along well wit eachoda.. One tin i noticed was that he rarely invites me to his house but when i insisted & threatened 2 break up with him so one day, he invited me 2 his place on getting there, he switched off the lights & we were able 2 see through the reflection of his television. It happened the second time but on my third visit, i never told him i was coming.. It was still afternoon, i knocked and entered straight then the lights were on i just looked straight at the wall & i saw a toddlers picture on the wall which looks exactly like him,, it was then i asked who the baby in the pic is, dat was when he confessed 2 me dat he had children... Not just 1 child, two children, he has 3 children but wants 2 remarry.. So my dear u can see how dangerous a man can be.. So i think he is still hiding somethings for u but if really u think u can go ahead with the relationship no problem but if not take 2 ur heels..

How exactly was he 'dangerous'?
He has kids, does that forbid him from ever remarrying? Did you ask him if he had kids? Do you know if he was waiting for the perfect opportunity to tell you first?

Reyspin: If they have been informed before the admission about going to church, i think the Bishop is right... Why go to church for 3 and half years and stop going in your Final year Nobody force them go the school!!!

If you truly believe Salvation is personal, you'd know that this point of view doesn't make sense.

eldoradoxx: The root cause of corruption in Nigeria is that laws are not obeyed, rules are not strictly followed; they are bent to accommodate different shades of sentiments. And a university being a pinnacle of refinement where future of a nation is crafted and molded into people, it cannot be allowed to fail in its mission. If universities fail to produce men fit in character and learning to the entrusted with the task of perpetuating civilisation them ww would have succeeded in proving Thomas Hobbs state of nature theorem correct . Why am I saying this,Covenant university has a charter spelling out right, duties and obligtions of students. And one of the article says that all "Assemblies" are mandatory failure of which is punishable with either suspension or explsion. There is no student of that school that isn't aware of this! So why absent themselves from "Assembly" and now seek our corrupt society and people who need redemption themselves to use sentiment and bend rules? What has human right got to do with school's decision to exercise its disciplinary powers over erring students. I am human being but if I were the sch management I wud insist on everybody serving out his or her punishment cos if rules are bent becos of this few dissidents then an audacity is created in students that school mgt listens to popular sentiments and surely gradually the moral fabric of the institution will be torn just as we have succeeded in all public universities in Nigeria

You would expel someone for not attending a Church service?! Nonsense.
All we are saying now is that if such draconian punishments are to be continually levied against students, then the school should stop masquerading as a 'Christian' institution because they have nothing in common with some of the basic rules of Christianity - love, forgiveness and repentance.

Now, kindly tell me how mandatory church services help in 'character and learning'. You force someone to go through the motions and you think it will not build resentment down the line? You need to see how ex-Madonna students detest Father Edeh...only the cult-like worship of Pentecostal Pastors these days prevents Oyedepo from sharing a similar fate. If mandatory services were totally effective, why does Covenant Uni still carry out pregnancy tests on female students?

You would do well to remember that most of those students were placed there by their misguided parents. Saying they 'signed up for the rules' is a bit misleading in such cases. Many students are put there by their folks and made to subsist under draconian, medieval rules. It's funny you talk about 'rights' when most ex-students will tell you that most times, they are not given any chance to say anything in their defence as it is often portrayed as 'dissent' (which is a severely punishable offence) . So what 'rights' are you babbling about?

At the end of the day, you have a school that plans to bring out a generation of youth that are basically cowed and submissive...hardly the mold of such brilliant mavericks like Einstein and Edison that Nigeria sorely needs. One has the uneasy feeling that the whole point is to reinforce a link/leash between them and Oyedepo's Church.

We'll see.

Yes, the China that keeps veto-ing any attempt to punish the criminal Sudanese Govt for the carnage in Darfur...simply because of the resources they get from the Sudanese Government.

Some of these Nairaland simpletons never cease to amaze me.

The Chinese are bound to be worse in the long run. Anyone with brains can see this. They tread cautiously now...but they are heading somewhere.

[quote author=@miguel]It is not having a feeling...Sanusi is behind this and it is very bad. I'm not saying you should not prosecute a criminal but my bible says something of "he who is without sin should cast the first stone. Now the question is this; Is Sanusi clean?[/quote]Sometimes I think of all my brilliant friends that have died...Mickey Olumoye in 400L, Jude with a CGPA of 4.3 that died months after graduation. Osaro that died in 2009, first class graduate and respected colleague. When I think of them, I wonder how UNFAIR life is that such brilliant, positive people have passed on and yet a m0r0n like yourself is still alive!

Smh.

Wendyslim: Dem. try. If na my pickin dem expel I for sue the school after paying a whole lot of money you will now say rubbish becos dey didn't attend fellowship.mtchewww

[quote author=Okija_juju]Bros I am sane o!! But what this University did is just outrightly wrong!!!

The University commission should review the operational license of some of these prison institution.


Even in jail, going to church is not mandatory!![/quote]This reaction small. Some people talk here like imbecilic dolts that don't know the ramification of expulsion.
Basically, when you expel someone who is in 400 level for missing a church service, you're setting the person's clock nearly 5 years back. This is a human being who has hopes, dreams and aspirations...and you're destroying all those over a misdemeanor.
M0r0ns here talk about following rules...they forget that the Christian faith is based on following rules laid down in the bible...but when such rules are broken, the faith tells us that there is unconditional forgiveness as long as there is repentance. Now a Bishop is being unforgiving and people say it is normal.

if na my pikin dem expel for such frivolous reasons, i will give all those clergymen the beating of their life. E go be like film trick

Jimmy Boy: I have issues with both sides. Firstly, KSA said the man was member of his band and not staff of his company, yet he admitted the mak work for him for 30 years. On the guitarist side, he went all over the globe with KSA and he is still talking of severance package. If he coudlnt achieve anything with what they shared over 30years, how could have succeeded with severance package?

Why is it so hard for you dolts to understand that a man can be part of the band without being a STAFF MEMBER of any of KSA's companies?

For example, Didier Drogba played for Chelsea for many years. He was never made a permanent member of Chelsea FC or given a place on the board.

vanstanzy: Need for physically attraction!

Need for Queen Primer & Brighter Grammar!

ogugua88: [size=13pt]Same thing I noticed. I hope he helped and gave some kind of eyewitness report.[/size]

The post you're reading, isn't it an eyewitness report of some sort? He provided details on d clothes the killer wore and the means of escape. That doesn't count as 'helping' in your books?

You critics never fail to amuse me.

Clemzy16: RIP. So, Rapper RuggedMan witnessed the shooting and first thing he thought of doing was to tweet about it. SMDH for this country.

Yes, we all know that if you were there, you'd have given chase to the armed robbers and overpowered them. Either that or use a special life resurrection jutsu to bring the dead man back to life.

/s

What does this have to do with okada ban? Why are there so many m0r0ns on Nairaland? Even if okada no dey, the robber would have found another way easily.

Dear Mr Nwambu,
We may have been foolish enough to believe you actually represent a coalition of Nigerians against corruption...until your self-declared mission to research the allegation of corruption against Orubebe ended in you whitewashing his entire life and lauding him for 'integrity' we know practically no member of the FG's executive council has.

However, if you insist you're a coalition against corruption, kindly draw up a timetable when you will research allegations of corruption against Dimeji Bankole, Farouk lawan, Doyin Okupe etc. Abi you only swing into action when banknotes are passed to your clammy paws?

Rubbish

Onlytruth: Presidential politics of 2015 has started, but while they are at it, they should leave Soludo alone. They should stop underestimating the intelligence of Igbo people in Nigerian dog politics. Nuff said.

All you can think about is your tribe. What sort of fellow are you?!! it matters not to you if the man may be guilty of anything...all you're babbling about is 'Igbo people' and 'politics'.

People like you are part of the reason why this country is so backward.

ebucha: Envy,Politics or the usual black man's way of undermining a fellow black man.

I would like to punch you in the teeth for being so daft. After the careful explanation that no clinical trials were carried out, no testing on humans and the University was not carried along, you still post this tripe!

To think 18 people 'liked' your inane post...truly, nairaland is overrrun with simpletons!

vandarsar: You taking things too personal, ever heard of the saying " we're all entitle to our own opinions" as an engineer I believe you should learn to use fact rather than abuse. You talking of high rising building and oil ridge how many of those sky scrapers are in NAIJA? Am not talking of 1001 abi Wetin unna dey call am.sometimes I feel that's not even a sky scrapper sef, what people are discussing here have a direct link with Nigeria and Africa maybe wit the exception of South Africa. Naa unna engineers build 3rd mainland and cater bridge? Mind you am a computer engineer too. But like someone said, people like you will probably still patronize that road side mechanic or where do you service your car? Hyundai, Kia, Tata? Bunch of the folks there are technicians bro am talkin from experience the tides are changing even in Europe. People now pays for what you can do not those papers you had but you can't defend

Atrocious grammar...are you sure you're a graduate?

Heavily airbrushed photo and you 'like' it?

redsun: I bet the work of electrical engineers in nigeria is just to copy oyinbo written testbooks and write notes,while the technicians put them into prcatice.In the case of mechanical,the road side mechanics do the practical,intelligent and dirty works,while oga engineer wouldnt want to leave the comfort of his airconditioned office to stain his hands and suits.And in most cases does not even understand his basic tools.

Most of those julius berger "expatraites" are handymen/women and trained technicians,no where near universities,but they control and instruct qualified engineers who runs around like errand boys in nigeria.

I've seen this kind of m0r0nic logic from the likes of market women...I sure didn't expect it to come from you.
The people who design the engines your roadside mechanic can only repair are Engineers. The innovators, the inventors, the chip designers...those are largely engineers. 90% of the Engineers at NASA will not be able to repair some of the refrigerators those roadside 'electricians' can repair. In your stunted mind, the roadside guy naim be the 'engineer'.

If we are truly to develop as a nation and not remain as repairers of 5 year old Sony CRT TVs, Engineers are required as creators and designers.

What a fellow, congratulating himself for building a new Government house!

Later one Daddy GO will ask us to pray harder to prevent more deaths of important dignitaries and leaders in Nigeria.

kolibdrus: The families and friends of Shola Adeghegha are imploring all Nigerians, Nairalanders home and abroad to please wade into the issue of gruesome murder of Shola Adeghegha that was murdered by a Nigeria Police at Mokola Police Station in Ibadan.

Early yesterday morning, 08/01/13, the deceased brother was called by the police to come to Mokola Police Station to bail Shola who has a case in their station. On getting there, they could not him and they asked his whereabout.

It was then the D.P.O. attached to the station started calming the deceased brothers down telling them Shola has been killed by one of his boys. His explnation: Shola was arrested with his car and he was asked to drive to Mokola police Station from Ago tapa where they arrested him, he took them to the station and while a policeman was trying to open the gate, Shola reversed the vehicle to run away and so he was shot dead by the police.

The family have asked for them to produce the police but they have not done so. People living around Mokola station did not hear any gunshot yesterday morning as the police claimed it happened then. Even Mokola Police station entrance is so narrow that a vehicle will have to turn and turn to make a reverse for escape, and at the same time how can Shola take them to the station before deciding to run away.

Please all this questions are begging for answers from Nigerian Police.

Please Nigerians, wade into this matter and bring the killer cop to book for this murder. Lets stop this murderous killings by Nigerian Police.

Thanks

The explanation from the DPO makes no sense. You cannot shoot and kill an unarmed man just for trying to reverse and escape.

Whobedatte: Fair selection by FIFA, except PIQUE who wasn't really on top of his game last season due to intermittent injuries! Anyway such bloomers are meant to happen, No one is perfect. The EPL is just an overrated league that thrives on the media for its propanganda. Kompany, Vidic etal are average defenders who in my own opinion doesn't warrant a FIFA X1 except Ashley Cole!

Wetin you smoke? How many defenders in Madrid and Barca are as good as Kompany? Rubbish

tayooluwole: of course mother's love is indemporate. But this is nt applicable to all ladies in Naija here. Cos we have had so many cases of ladies that deliberately threw their child in d pit, bush, on the street interelia with varying reasons... Well sha, my Mum still remain d best

Yes, because it's only in Nigeria where some mothers have abandoned their kids.

intellectual poverty at its worst!

Maximus17: can naija moms do this for their kids?

Most mothers anywhere in the world would do this for their kids if they love 'em. This is a very daft question to ask.

I will go through anything or anyone to protect my kids.

ayd91: Am i the only one who has noticed this? All the phones produced by Nokia has white hands in the startup display, that seems a bit like racism to me.
I am not trying to stair any trouble, its just weird. I'll love to see some black hands.

Paranoid people like you will never have any fun when they travel overseas because you'll see racism in everything.

Now, go and ask your BLACK Nigerian pastors why Jesus is depicted as a WHITE male, ask why the Devil is depicted as BLACK. You will not go and ask the likes of Adeboye if they are succumbing to racism, it's us you'll come and bore to death with your inane search for racism where there is none.
