The USS Enterprise is still serving as America's premier Aircraft Carrier despite being built in 1961 yet some poorly educated louts here are complaining that a ship made in 1968 is 'too old for Nigeria'
I wonder if these imbecilic dolts realize which country they live in? NEWSFLASH: This is Nigeria o! Your country's naval flagship (NNS Aradu) is a mere frigate and is most likely less capable than this ship dem dash una. Yet you people are complaining?!
Nigerians can be very very dumb sometimes, I swear.

@texapete
Reading the rubbish u posted above makes me wana puke, u call Nigerians dumb so that makes u a togolese, abi
If a guy wishes to keep wearing his 50yr old pants thats his business but that doesnt mean he should offer his friend his 43yr old pants, but i fink in your myopic and amnesia infested mind that is ok,
I would like to bliv that your slow, lowlife, crumb seeking, hopeless, unambtious, peasant, failure ridden fool like u doesnt understand what its like to constructively critisize an issue on a public forum, i rest my case and dnt dare me

You have always been an intellectual flyweight, so I'm not bothered. The day the likes of Jakumo, Ekt_bear and other worthy sparring partners start calling me out, that's when I'll begin to worry.

Look, let me give you a simple analogy for you to Understand (since we've already established that you're not too bright)

if you have a fleet of Volkswagen Beetle cars, will you start complaining when someone gives you a very well maintained 1996 Toyota Camry?


PS: Your own analogy on someone wearing 50 year old pants is rather daft when you think about the fact that the analogy refers to the US Navy which is the world's largest and most powerful naval force.
When you consider that the Coast guard vessels have been kept in top shape with state of the art equipment to track down fast drug smugglers, one wonders which kind of Nigerian will be turning their nose up at this gift.

bilms:
pls shed more light on this, any lawyer in here, pls help.

Are you deaf?
Someone has given you a case of prior occurrence in Nigeria and you're asking for a lawyer. Was it not at a court the parties took their case to?

It was legal for a candidate to go to court without a party (Rotimi Amaechi approached the Supreme Court against the PDP's wishes) and it is legal for a party to head to court without their candidate.

pDude:
I remember the day this was posted. I remember the accolades that were placed upon this guy.

[b] So he was a Boko Haram sponsors? [/b]

Well, very soon we go know if na true or not.
[B]Breeze don dey blow and all the fowl yansh don dey open one by one.[/b]

God pass them.

ALLEGED Boko Haram sponsor, please. None of the accusations leveled against him have been proven yet. For all you know, this guy in custody could be spreading misinformation.

[quote author=Mr--Why link=topic=807778.msg9605139#msg9605139 date=1321918204]Classic flip flopping.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand how the Nigerian economy works. A nation that is highly dependent on import with a very weak infrastructure is fundamentally unstable including it's currency.

More gimmicks to come from Sanusi.[/quote]So you blame Sanusi for Nigeria's 'dependence on on import with a very weak infrastructure'?

There's no satisfying you people. You whine about GEJ's stubborn adherence to oil subsidy removal despite compelling evidence that this would make life worse for the masses yet when Sanusi announces a modification of his original plan (showing flexibility and adaptability) you people start moaning about 'confusion' and 'flip-flopping'. Smh.

The USS Enterprise is still serving as America's premier Aircraft Carrier despite being built in 1961 yet some poorly educated louts here are complaining that a ship made in 1968 is 'too old for Nigeria'

Price?

manny4life:
^^^^ LOL

Welcome, I've been expecting you.

The fellow has no clue on what to do in this economy, let him just focus on building poultry farms and hotels, that should improve our currency.

Hehe.

I hate it when you people force me into the mold of 'Sanusi defender' when all I ever try to do is to inject some common sense and rationality in the discussion

One day I will understand why you and ekt_bear hate Sanusi so much. Right after I find out why Jakumo hates Buhari with a passion.

4llerbuntu:
BTW, all of una dreaming of Ice Cream Sandwich ROMS, the earliest u will get a fully functional ROM is January or February next year after Vendors have started releasing devices with it. for naw, na this is not working, that is buggy, this is slow issues go dey. so sorry

Some dude on Xda-Devs released an AOSP ICS Rom for the Nexus S that is reputed to run pretty well. No major missing stuff in that build.

manny4life:
I told y'all that this man has no clue on what he's doing, people will think I'm joking. Like someone said, he's just experimenting with the economy.

Oya, give us a detailed breakdown of what the man should have done na. You people are just using any excuse to bash this fellow.

Relax101:
Sanusi is a big fool.
Jarus tell him I said so.

Under Soludo's watch, the exchange rate fell from around N115 to a dollar to around N150. Have you walked up to Soludo and called him a fool before, you this ethnic bigot!
You were never known to be one with an appreciable intellect anyway, so I am not surprised.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=807778.msg9600576#msg9600576 date=1321872694]He is a very confused man[/quote]Can you point out to me anything in the OP tha indicates that Sanusi is 'confused'?!
If showing flexibility in adapting to changing situations is 'confusion' to you, I wonder where you get off with your repeated calls for the PDP to change their leadership policies?

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=807778.msg9600990#msg9600990 date=1321875894]Sounds like bad news to me:

Kx:
Experimenting with the economy?

Can you point out any passage or paragraph in the OP that suggests that the CBN Governor is 'experimenting'?

andromida:
And SLS continues with his somersaulting policies bereft of concrete economy changing ideas.

Now this sounds like you're parroting. Seems you've been re-reading those old 'Renaissance professionals' drivel

You want to buy 2pcs of computer system 4 15k and you are still asking some silly questions, we Nigerians are funny.

babsmii:
this is how a lame man sees beauty, thank God you're not among the judges. you need to see her performance on stage, she's got great charisma + excellent personal appeal. Miss Edo did very well too, i give to her

Yeah right.
I heard her answer to the question she was asked about global warming. It was utterly lame. I was truly surprised to hear people applauding wildly. Seems more Nigerians are on the dumb side these days

lynxnoon:
cant believe they didnt put that!
well i hope with updates or custom ROMs it should be fixed

Yes, but my other points still stand.
In 1.5 months time, we'll be seeing CES 2012. There will probably be at least 5 phones with Quad core Tegra 3 processors (increased performance, far better GPU, improved battery life) which will easily blow away the Galaxy Nexus from a performance and gaming point of view.

Most or all of these devices will come with a MicroSD slot, something the GN lacks.

No Mass Storage mode on the Galaxy Nexus. Also no flash installed.
Phone runs on a 1.2GHz processor with the ageing SGX 535 GPU.

With the influx of quad core Tegra 3 phones in Q1 2012 (we'll see a lot more on these at CES 2012) why exactly are people so excited about the Galaxy Nexus?


No mass storage mode is a deal breaker for me.

atasteve:
How people feel comfortable with every other activities apart from messages that will benefit their souls.

Even if the person preaching is doing it with wrong motives, the word of God is still powerful to save.

Very soon people will wish that they can hear the message of salvation again but it would have been too late.

SO you're saying you'd have no complaints if churches are suddenly built around your house and they hold very loud all nite midnight vigils every blessed day?

Lies.

This close to the US elections, no way will Obama commit troops on the ground without congressional approval first, or at least informing the American people.

For example, Obama specifically informed the American people that he was sending a small number of US troops to Uganda on observer and training duties only.

Saharareporters is known for embellishing the truth for sensationalism.

Arosa:
Nice one GEJ, Naija is beginning to think like a serious Nation.

Yes, because all the rich businessmen in Nigeria get US Visas without even heading to the embassy.

Nonsense.

Pukkah:
You should not be the one making this analogy. It's not apt from your standpoint.

When vultures gather, there's usually a dying animal or a carcass in sight. Who is dying or dead here? - GEJ?

Dammit, you beat me to this response!

Obviously now Beaf sees his mentor in serious decline.

Nope. State Universities don't dash out first class like that. It is senseless having up to 50 first class. Typical nonsensical nigerians way of doint things

Unlike your state university, there are tons of departments in Uniben, each one churning out its fair share of brilliant students.

Really, loving SE is an understatement 'cos I'd been supporting the team since I knew my left from my right and this will be the 1st time in my adult life that the same SE will not be participating in the Nation's cup due to non-qualification. So, you guys should understand why I am vexed and why I even decided to make any contribution to this thread at all. The sack of Siasia is another let down 'cos I was already beginning to see a play similar to the SE of '94 before the sack.
Hence, my lack of interest at least for now. Awaiting Keshi to prove me wrong

On one hand you say that the Super Eagles non-qualification vexes you, yet on the other hand you're complaining that they sacked Siasia (the man responsible for this mess!)

kettykin:
more like an Air defense system which proved very eefective for counter air, surface to air warfare and was aslo used for ground operations , Biafra had rather operated a very effective air defense and naval defense , prospectively speaking Biafra was simply overwhelmed by the Soviet Union's air Superiority and the United Kingdom Unbeatable warfare logistics.

Oya, explain to us how this 'ogbunigwe' could ever have been 'very effective' as an anti-aircraft weapon.

Which one be 'Soviet Union's air superiority'? Were you sober when you posted this?!

If GEJ says awards are given based on how you've 'touched lives in your community, your state and projected Nigeria positively outside the country' he must tell us how Aki and Pawpaw fit this mould.

Self respect and respect for others

Someone posts a topic here and scores of us have the effontery to rain all kinds of insults on the poster's intelligence. Regardless of how baseless the comparison might seem to you, you or nobody has it in any place to abuse the poster.

So why aren't you calling the OP out for opening this thread which is extremely disrespectful to the dead Professor (who had proven himself a good Nigerian)? Where's the 'respect for others' when this topic was raised in bad faith and is of extremely poor taste?

Skii:
Manners and courtesy dictate that you voice your opinions against in a civilised manner. If indeed the post appears senseless to you, be like some few, pass over!

Sorry, zero tolerance to dolts must be the watchword. Also, everyone reserves the right to pop in and let the senseless posters know how brainless they are. How else are they to learn?

Skii:
The poster was clear from the start. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism to which someone kindly and objectively replied going as far as attempting the comparisons in a tabular form!

Rather than take on the research and the opportunity to develop your intellect (particularly for the rather challenged ones amongst us) by comparing these two people in different fields, most of us have opted for the easy way out.Flight! In case you don't know it is challenges like this that differentiate the wise from the otherwise.

So you're saying if someone walks up to you and asks you to compare your wife and a harlot and specifies that he wants 'constructive criticism' you will draw up an A4 sheet and start tabulating differences?
Do you make it a point of duty to respond to challenges from all the mad people you see on the streets?

Skii:
Finally, some of us now know who Prof Ayodele Awojobi is thanks to this thread.

If you really now know who Prof Awojobi is, basic human decency would have had you outraged at the insensitive 'comparison' this fellow is trying to make.

Librate:
did u scan, preview my comments or you read them cus a normal english student will DIFFERENCIATE between question mark <?> and a comma <,>.

Now that we've established that you're a dunce, do you really expect me to waste my time on you?

Dede1:
Granted the Autonov 1 was attempted con job on the psychic of Nigerians, there is no logical ground needed to compare novelist with engineer.

You can be sure nobody here expected an intelligent contribution from your hate-filled arse.

Mkpotu:
Abeg forget all these gospel, he has tried during his life time, but that does not warrant such comparison, please. Shoes get size.

The comparison itself is brainless and it needs to be condemned in very strong terms, not fueled by statements such as yours.

ak47mann:
The rising sun the chosen people look at armors and air missiles we invented THESE DANGEROUS WEAPONS did a devastating JOB which it deed,BIAFRA ALL HAIL BIAFRA THE RISING SUN, WHO SAY AFRICANS DON'T HAVE REAL HUMANS LIVING IN IT? WELL BIAFRA HAVE PROVE THESE PEOPLE WRONG look at what we have invented with small resources we had at the time can u imagine if BIAFRA have enough resources by now all the African countries will see us as NATO of Africa no one can test us.

Britain and Russia why interfering in our simple war we map out already how to take over the rest of the country with no sweat we got the brains like Nazi scientist we keep improving better and better but we no western world never wish well for black people they like to keep bullying Africa any how they like,so they swear that BIAFRA will challenge them in any aspect but they don't want that they impose Hausa Fulani on us,now Hausa Fulani are fighting them with suicide bombers one of them failed to bring down plane full of Americans so both side should feel the heat as-well Britain and Russia you think after giving this people second hand weapons from WW2 and still took them many years to reach biafran BORDER now the people you helped are now paying you back   next time mind your business you play with the fire and get burn,

ak47mann:
why are this people shaming themselves is on our history archives that[b] ogbunigbe [/b]mass killer did what it suppose to do does it matter how it was made or look? abeg make we hear word as far as i know nigeria as a whole haven't produce anything to prove that brain really exist in them, but BIAFRA deed doesn't matter how it look the bottom line is that[b] ogbunigbe [/b]is a mass killer was tested on Nigerian rag tags soldiers and the result was devastating

Never mind this discussion, can't you help us make your comments more readable by placing a few commas and periods in your responses?

moderatorr:
my father told me that they used a 1.5 v battery to detonate the ogbunigwe.

If you were in the biafran war u would understand how the lives of an entire village depended on the devastating effect of a single ogbunigwe!

Kaboooom!
End of invasion.
Your guys are wiped out!

When I was in primary 2, My classmate Uyi told me about a magical bomb called a 'muclear bomb'. According to Uyi, "one muclear bomb can destroy the whole Nigeria"
When I grew up, I learnt that the name was 'nuclear' not 'muclear', and that it was impossible for it to be sugar cube sized, or for just one bomb to flatten Nigeria.

What's the moral of my story? Use your damn common sense to separate fact from hyperbole!

Mkpotu:
I don't even know who the Professor Awojobi is, even as a student of UNILAG, though I am not in Engineering Faculty.

Guess there is no need for the comparison as Chinua Achebe is well known and recognized both in the diaspora and locally.

Meanwhile, where is Ayodele Awojobi now?

He's dead.

Also, Prof. Awojobi was well known and respected locally and internationally. His death made headlines of every paper in Nigeria. There's a statue of him in Lagos and a few streets are named after him. Blame yourself for not knowing who he was.

Librate:
the comparism here is SIMPLE
Proff Chinua Achebe is far more better than that {man seeking for recognition} prof awojobi or whatever
and i will suggest you COMPARE proff wole soyinka & proff ayodele awojobi not our Proff Chinua Achebe

Librate:
so  the NAMED proff awojobi accepted that award ?
if he did Proff Chinua is better

You're now officially the most silly fellow on Nairaland, a disgrace to whichever tribe you belong to. Even your most rabid tribalistic kinsmen would be really ashamed of you.

First you say Prof Awojobi is a 'foolish man seeking for recognition'. Now you say he accepted an award yesterday!

You're too silly to realize The man died in 1984, and he died a hero whose works and legacy are highly respected. Naturally, your limited brains cannot compel you to look the fellow up with a simple Google search.

This is why many people are turning to atheism these days. A brilliant fellow like Awojobi died young at 47. A great fellow like Achebe is wheelchair bound. Yet a thrice accursed imbecilic toad like you is still alive and walking around. Smh.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves. Read up about the man whose name you're mocking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayodele_Awojobi

Ayodele Oluwatuminu Awojobi (March 12, 1937 – September 23, 1984), also known by the nicknames "Dead Easy", "The Akoka Giant", and "Macbeth", was a Nigerian academic, author, inventor, social crusader and activist.[1] He was considered a scholarly genius by his teachers and peers alike.[2][3] He quickly advanced in his field to become the youngest professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Lagos, Nigeria in 1974. Earlier the same year, he became the first African to be awarded the degree of Doctor of Science (DSc) in Mechanical Engineering at the then Imperial College of Science and Technology, London (now Imperial College London).[1]

His research papers, particularly in the field of Vibration, are still cited by international research fellows in Engineering as lately as the year 2010,[4] and are archived by such publishers as the Royal Society.[5

Even Chinua Achebe would be VERY ashamed of the OP.

pDude:
The constructive comparism is this: one built the Autonov 1 and the other wrote good novels. They are both great Nigerians who have left their mark, and that implores us to do likewise.

I am assuming the poster meant well by opening this thread.

He did not just 'build the Autonov 1'. He was a brilliant Mechanical Engineer, a great teacher and scholar and a principled and highly revered gentleman whose works achieved great respect in local and international circles.
I know you're trying to defend his legacy, but your statement doesn't even capture a tenth of what the Prof was about.

Certainly he achieved more than anyone else posting here has ever done.
