Similar incidence happened to me 4 months ago. a junior colleague of mine had his first daughter at UCH Ibadan because she had kidney related ailment. There was no place for him to get money cause he actually dropped his whole salary for treatment and has borrowed from everybody he can imagine( kidney problem of over 7 yrs) and still needs more or else his daughter (14yrs) would die, I prayed to God and asked for forgiveness if i was doing d wrong thing by giving the guy my tithe. i also made d guy to understand dat i was giving him my tithe and so he should use it for d purpose to which i am giving him. i beleive there are some conditions to which the tithe can also be used to help the needy, Pls correct me if i was also wrong,

You are truly pathetic.
You are supposed to give your Tithe to God (if you believe in the Tithing doctrine - personally i don't). Jesus Christ took the pains to show how you do things for God when you do things for the needy. What happened to "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, that you do unto me"?!
Abeg help the needy when you can with your tithe money. You are handing it directly to God and not to some greedy Pastor.

I am quite happy I campaigned for GEJ, so many good things have bobbed up, from the signing of the FOI bill to these new plans for medical treatment (just as Nigerians are beginning to see changes in power supply). Thats not to mention the myriad positive changes that have occurred in the petroleum sector.

We've got a thinking President.

Meanwhile infant and maternal mortality is as high as ever, life expectancy in Nigeria still remains mid-forties for men. Yet we're supposed to jubilate because of some 'plans'.

Abeg we need to see actual results on ground. We want to hear more of 'we have' than 'we will'

Let me start by saying that it is quite rude and immature to call your president a mor0n simply because you don't agree with his policies. I may excuse thugs and semi-literate never do wells like Eko-Ile to use those words; not you.
Quit trying to belong to a lynch mob that makes no damn sense.

When you grow up and start paying taxes instead of collecting pocket money from mummy and daddy, you will become more critical of failure and more intolerant of empty promises.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=773582.msg9266081#msg9266081 date=1317634217]The cynicism here puzzles me[/quote]Yeah right, like you've been the soul of optimism on Nairaland in the past.

Surprising statement from Fashola, to be honest.

People emigrate to seek greener pastures. Can he promise all lagosians better conditions of life if they stay put in Nigeria? We all saw the careless way he handled the doctors strike of last year. Doctors were left overworked and underpaid in Lagos while they gazed enviously at their better appreciated brethren in the west.

The OP is a dolt. Simple and short.
WTF do you mean by "betraying your race"?!

Abeg marry who you want jo!

I have actually been looking forward to this moment, This tablet is my best vote at half the price of the least expensive ipad, with so much cool features, i'll definitely be getting one. Amazon released four new products The kindle classic, Kindle Touch (3g version) and the kindle fire. I'll be going for the kindle fire and touch.

Please mention the 'so much cool features' you're talking about.

The main killer points are the price and the tight integration into Amazon's services. You've already mentioned the price before and the Amazon services (streaming music, video etc) are pretty much US only at release. So what other features?

@Otumfour
Your vids aren't displaying here, but from your trollish/slavish history I assume your Youtube vids are either bashing the iphone or singing Samsung's praises?

4llerbuntu:


we can safely conclude that im jobless and have a wandering mind.

Damn right.
I like to experiment, myself, but there are sensible limits . Running Ubuntu on my phone is one of them

If you must, scrape $150 together and buy a refurb nook color then install Ubuntu. Running this shyte on your Xperia is just sad

samby38:
guys, to say the truth, there's no OS like android.
blackberry my shiit,

Is Blackberry OS the only one that comes to mind when you think of an alternative to Android?!
You have a lot to learn, young padawan

nazoluv:
i have been scamed here on nairaland b4,i took dat as a challenge,been a new moderator u should try and give advise 2 forum members,not d way u acted.

I am this close from making this my personal business, finding you and making an example of you here on Nairaland for everyone to see.
You're a lying scumbag thief, with the good fortune to only scam people who have had no desire in fighting back.

princebawa:
u probably don't know the worth of d laptop

Still available

A Core i3 CPU? Yuck.
A mediocre Nvidia 525M GPU (Don't be misled by the VRAM size, the 525M is a lower tier GPU)

only 4GB RAM? Already used?

And you're rejecting 90k?!

Don't let greed be your undoing o!

kunlekunle:
where are these MEND guys?
their focus of hatred should be on these people

Why would MEND intervene? Weren't you there when the CAN president Ayo Oritsejafor was telling everyone that Uduaghan's victory was 'ordained by God' and was 'God's word for Delta people'? With backing of the corrupt elite and the clergy, the man is sitting pretty on the throne!

http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/newsextra/5141-uduaghan-in-victory-thanksgiving.html

The President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has advised politicians in Delta State against unwarranted attack on the governor-elect, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan over his victory in the governorship election.
Speaking at his Word of Life Bible Church during a Thanksgiving Service for Uduaghan and his deputy, Prof. Amos Agbe Utuama, over their hard-fought victory at the polls, Oritsejafor cautioned that attacking or harbouring evil thoughts against Uduaghan could amount to attacking God over his choice.
The CAN President’s advice came on the backdrop of threats by some members of the opposition over the electoral victory of Uduaghan. He warned that the era of violence in the state had passed, adding that anybody who attempts to drag the state back to the dark days of violence would face the wrath of God.

So you see, apparently if you criticize Uduaghan's administration, you risk being hit by the wrath of God (according to your CAN president)

i think it is wierd because, the couple, will inturn be 'step', which to me is still Inbreeding, i might be wrong though.

ronkebp:
I think this is just me, can't they find their happiness else where, i think if it is me ooooo, personally, my mum or dad should better be thinking straight and cub that appetite for happiness, that it has to be my FIL/ MIL? that would give him/her that happiness.

Your posts shows you're selfish and not very bright.
I truly hope you have other redeeming features.

Too many arrests, too few trials

May i suggest firing squad instead? It's much more entertaining to innocent people and more frightening to criminals when they see their fellow condemned shed crocodile tears before being mowed down by rifle fire.

From the OP, it seems like many of these fines were for safety violations etc.

Demdem:
The Fayemi that i know would have thought about where the funds will come from before even announcing it. Its a welcome development and i support it however efforts should be put in place to block a loopholes to rubbish this good initiative.
This is the kind of responsible governance we are talking about.
Kudos to Fayemi.

Haven't you learnt by now that 99% of people change when they enter politics?

I remember a friend who used to sing Mimiko's praises, only to be royally screwed by the guy when the House of Reps primaries rolled by

Ekt_bear is 100% correct in this one. How does one of the poorest states in Nigeria fund this scheme?

So all GEJ's committee could recommend is 'dialogue and negotiation'? With a group that has killed hundreds of Innocent Nigerians in cold blood? What a pathetic Government we have.

Beaf:
lol! See who is talking about mumu! Someone joining others to praise an ugly crate as the first ever African aircraft, when a fellow Nigerian has built several since 2007. Dude, be proud of your own.

I don't know where you got the zero feet idea from, its quite clear that his planes fly from all the literature provided. Stop being overzealous in promoting SA above Nigeria. Its a big fail bruv.

[size=14pt]. . .Bigging up our very own Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi. Nobody can fool us. 9ja number 1. [/size]

Here's a tip: When you're in a hole, stop digging

Please remember that the OP says the plane was unveiled as the first 'All-african millitary plane'.

Unless your Abdullahi's craft can carry out millitary duties right now, you don't have a point.

4llerbuntu:
makes u wonder, the stories about elop.

they had this in development and still went to a half complete winphone7?

smh

Read the reviews of Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango)

Mango has caught up with IOS and Android now in every meaningful way, surpasses both in some.

N9 was DOA. Nokia needs to continue to move smartphones in volume to willing consumers to stay in the black. Selling a handful of meego powered phones to hardcore nerds is no way to return to profitability

No power in my house in PHC for the past 5 days now

My dear sir, google is your friend. It took me less than 100 seconds (slow internet connection) to find out that the Blackberry Torch 9810 arguably has the best camera quality in comparison with other Blackberry devices.

All the top tier OS7 handsets (9900, 9930, 9810 etc) have the same camera module and are thus at par at the top of the BB camera chart

Any activity that keeps the screen backlight on constantly will deplete the battery faster than usual.
As far as browsing is concerned, browsing over WiFi consumes far less power than using the phone's 3G modem. If you wanna save battery life, outsource your connection to Wifi as often as you can.

I have no idea why 'Pinging' is an option in the poll. less than 10% of Nigerian phone owners use blackberries.

Yes, Yar'Adua's amnesty programme is a success

Let's give credit where credit is due.

aletheia:
Those of us living in Jos already knew this. Just as we know that they are still planning further attacks in the near future.

I hope you folks are also honest enough to note that the violence has come from both sides. Singling out one side for blame is counterproductive.

coded777:
Why earth of all planet?

Congrats! You've just won an award for the daftest thing ever posted on Nairaland!

blacksta:
Na for this section - sef - This section is only about selling cars - its original plan was to discuss Autos.

Well, Seun has helped you by putting this up on the homepage

You shouldn't be surprised, though. You have no idea how many people think Nairaland is just a place to find jobs, to them the Jobs section is the only one that exists.

America is known for double standard.Troy was executed without clear evidience and even when 7 out of 9 witnesses recanted their words.They are the on clarmouring for democracy but they want it to happen in the middle east,they want them to remain forever under the implanted puppet regime see what's happenning in Yemen,Bahrain e.t.c.Iran that's practicing democracy has be isolated by the european countries.May God save us from their hypocracy,

What does the legal system in the state of Georgia have to do with the middle east and democracy?
if anything, this shows the power of democracy at work. In Georgia state, not even the Governor can get someone off Death Row. Only the prisons and parole board can. Compare that to Nigeria where a commissioner can even order the release of a hardened criminal  

Every day, kids are being driven out of their homes in parts of Akwa Ibom over allegations of witchcraft. Newsweek even did a cover story on 'Africa's witches' recently. Yet all you cretins can talk about is the killing of some American under US justice?

julioralph:
It's racist and nothing else!
the poor guy did not get a fair hearing

The original jury that sentenced him to death has 7 blacks and 5 whites. Racism my arse.

Seun, for the love of mike, r'ape is an English word. Why is it being automatically changed to 'violation'?

samyng:
[size=13pt]Okay Good that's your own opinion,  All i know is that i have already started making my own hard earn money and i will always patronize my Nigerian people and also get products from other as well.  i use both foreign and locally made products made here in Nigeria. As i believe it will improve our GDP as well as create more employment here in our country. All i do is filter Nigerian products that are very Good and are up to standard for me as they are plenty of them. I don't use Zinoks cos am scare of how long it would last and also been using HITV till dey messed up. Also i visit ROMAS store in Enugu the last time i was there but that does not mean i will not visit polo park when i go there,  All am trying to say is that we need to encourage our Nigerian Brothers and Entrepreneurs and get happy when some compete strongly with foreign companies.

Are we not happy to see our own brother  Oluwaseun Osewa's work (Nairaland, Nairalist) Yielding results for him and us. its all proudly Nigerian and we need to keep up with the support and encouragement.
[/size]

Please go and find out how many of these companies coming to Nigeria were 'Encouraged' by their Governments and people while they churned out substandard service.
You're just being a big hypocrite! You will not use Zinox because you are scared of the quality?! Why are you now encouraging people to put their hard earned money towards things that provide less value for money? Why are you not using HiTV till now? What do you mean 'until they messed up'? Isn't HiTV a Nigerian company anymore?

I want to see evidence that you folk have discarded your Hondas and Toyotas for Innoson Motors vehicles before I begin to take you seriously.

samyng:
The truth of the matter is that i use Nigerian Products too as i love to encourage Nigerian products and ideas. The problem is that most Nigerians build and make bad impression of their products, also note this foreign companies have big money to setup this big stores and expansion. eg Shoprite, game etc.

There are companies here in Nigeria which started Good with nice performance but along the way don't know how they went down

HITV,  Dont know what happened and this company is slow in growth and popularity right now and DSTV is back with no competition
GLO, Am so happy Glo is keeping up with the competition with MTN
Visafone and starcomms only CDMA networks in the country and they are really trying their best.
Zinox,  How many people would want to get zinox computers or laptops here in Nigeria,  I wonder how many nairalanders have zinox computers or laptops.

The list is endless. it all begins with each and everyone of us and most times these Nigerian companies contributes to this, 
The way out of all this if the People and the Government can all join hands encourage this indigenous companies and give them all the support and complain  they need to do better, i believe they will do better and expand thereby creating more employment for us living in it

[quote author=mr.official link=topic=762187.msg9174756#msg9174756 date=1316419650]See them complaining. How many of you are using Glo? Most of una na MTN.

What makes you think you won't run to shoprite even if there is a Nigerian mall close to it?


Make una go sit down, abeg.[/quote]When you people grow up and start earning your own money, come back and discuss!
I earn my own money through hard work so the sensible thing for me to do is to spend it on the best value for money. Even ultra-patriotic Americans will buy Toyotas over Ford vehicles at will.

If HiTV was quality, nigerians would have supported them. If Glo was FAR better than MTN, why will any Nigerian fail to patronise them?
Why should I spend my hard earned money to buy a Zinox laptop that is technically inferior to Laptops from HP, Dell or Toshiba at the same price point?

Please free yourselves from this spirit of small mindedness. At the end of the day, best value for money is the only sensible choice for someone who legally earns money the hard way. Not this pseudo-patriotic crap you people are spouting.
