Be wise ! if you you are posted to boko haram zone, know that you are going to a foreign land where your security is not guaranteed.

your security is not guaranteed anywhere else in Nigeria, sorry. Weren't some corps members in Rivers State kidnapped recently?
Even the Abuja many of you clamor to go to is a prime target for Boko Haram.

Tyche:
No matter what the husband says, what she did goes against our customs and traditions. Come to think of it, the reason why we are not really developing is this desperate act to copy western ways. Look at China, we really need to dig deep.

So in your opinion the reason why we are not developing is not because of the rampant corruption in our society. Rather , u say it's due to us copying developed western countries?

Do us a favor and don't pass on this stunted IQ to your kids.

@hacules if u say cement in lagos is 2250 then your a a mugu in lagos I stay in lekki am supervising a building project there I bought cement today 1600 for a brand called magen-roi (that is if u even knw the brands of cements) mugu I can give u the number of the supplier u can call and confirm or better still if u knw lagos very well take drive the sell cement along the lekki epe express from ikate round about u would see cement sellers stop and ask the price!!!! and stop peddling lies!!!!! Mugu buyin cement in lagos for N2250!! Let me give u the brand and prices so u won't as usuall fall mugu in Lagos

Magen roi N1600
Burham N1800
Elephant N1600
Dangote N1750

This are the price of cement on the lekki epe express road and stop Deceiving urself and stop peddling lie u don't knw anythin about building materials

I wonder who really is the mugu here. We are still paying far far more than the price of cement in neighboring countries. People like you are like dogs, easily satisfied with crumbs. It's just like brushing over the power problems in Nigeria by reducing cost of fuel to 50 naira!

Let GEJ go after the price fixing cartel, let him throw open cement manufacturing and importation to everyone. Is that not more in keepin with the 'fresh air' we were promised?

Inspired!!

When I made my previous comment, i did not realize that this statement was made by Goodluck Jonathan. this makes it even more disturbing indeed.

In a situation where the President and his cabinet members will routinely travel abroad for minor medical emergencies, send their kids to schools run by Americans and pay some ministers salary in Dollars, it is rather disappointing indeed!

Let them practice what they preach and swap out all their Peugeots for innoson motors

Anyone who tells me to patronize made-in-nigeria goods should go and jump into the ocean. I am a consumer who works hard for his money, I will purchase the best available goods that my money can cover.

Only people who do not pay taxes are keen on this display of pseudo-patriotism. Let the Nigerian manufacturers work towards making their product of comparable quality to the market leading imports and we'll patronize them.

You don't find more patriotic people around than Americans yet Toyota sells more sedans than General Motors in the US!

naijaking1:
I'm surprised you're the only one without a buyers remorse about Sanusi, his failure as a CBN governor, because of his radical islamization of Nigeria via CBN, and his total lack of knowledge about basic economic priciples. From the courts, to the streets, and even here in N/L, I have restrained from yelling "I told you so" to you, Jarus, and a few others.

That is immaterial. By your own words, complaining about Sanusi here on Nairaland is the height of folly. You should be out there with a placard in Abuja calling for his sack.

The point i'm trying to make is that there is nothing wrong in voicing out your opposition to bad leadership. That is why Americans will complain about unemployment and the spiraling costs of gasoline. That is why bloggers in Iran were drumming up support for anti-government discussions.

naijaking1:
I'm not saying Odili is or is not a crook, my point is "gather evidence" and send him to jail for good, don't sit here and belly-ache about "ostentatious" living and a bottle of wine

So how is this different from you belly-aching about Sanusi all the time?

Please let's get back to the topic at hand. Discussing Android stuff

ziccoit:
You are just busy employing crook and illogical methods of winning an argument. I am a type that handles people like you everyday.

Your type are professionals in use of emotional words, begging the questions, name calling, attacking the personality instead of addressing the issues, cursing etc. You know what? I have immunity against such.

The parameters that make up a phone specs and ultimately determine the performance are more than 20. There have never been a complete tech. I have what should make the list, out of those parameters, when prioritising my type of phones. If the Manufacture has done well on such that is 'mouth gaping'.

You still need to polish yourself off more. Arrogance is running in your blood vessels.

Nice one.
So according to you, it is entirely feasible that a 1964 Volkswagen beetle has better specs than a Bugatti Veyron if a certain person has a preference for one obscure detail abi?

Oya, between CPU clock speed, screen size, screen quality, GPU and one, choose any one that qualifies as being 'mouth gaping' impressive on the N9 compared to today's Android powerhouses.

Look, the N9 may very well be an excellent phone, nobody is disputing that. The OS may very well be slick and fluid. But I called you out on your 'mouth gaping specs' gaffe. Whether you like me or not is immaterial.
You do not know what you're talking about, sorry.

ziccoit:
Here you are again diving. You people can't just put across a view without plunging into the mud of immoralities by resulting to insults and name callings. This honestly wanted me to meet you people and accessed your personality. Yes.

If my analogy is beyond the comprehension of your self-esteemed internet warriors lord, I advised you to blindfold yourself and quickly walk away from my posts.

After all, I have a right to my 'moronic', 'unintelligent' and 'imbecility' opinion. Again,(you might have been advised before) you need to come down from your self-acclaimed high so that you avail yourself the opportunity to learn new things in this life that's full of knowledge.

I see in you,an arrogance of immeasurable dimensions. Good day.

You know, an online persona isn't really a 100% approximation of how someone really is online. But in your case, it's clear that you're daft enough not to know the meaning of the word 'analogy'.

I have 0% arrogance and a 100% intolerance for imbecility. With most comparison metrics (CPU, GPU, screen size) your 'mouth gaping specs' statement has been shown up.

Your final argument is as foolish as saying the Google Cr-48 Chromebook (which comes with netbook class intel Atom CPUs) is equipped with 'mouth gaping specs' because it's running a niche OS.
Abeg accept your ignorance and keep quiet.

ziccoit:
You didn't consider N9 to be the first and only smartphone so far to be running MeeGo OS before you made the headlong diving.

 If by that you still don't consider a 1GHz processor and the Power VR SGX 530 a mouth gaping on an 'experimental' OS first of its kinds, I wonder what you would have done if you were to head the company rolling out an OS without apps support or ecosystem.

Dude, you're a m'oron.
You mentioned 'mouth gaping specs'. Why are you now changing mouth? Even Engadget and Gizmodo accept that the CPU in the N9 is hardly cutting edge in these dual core days and the SGX 530 has been out since the iPhone 3GS (Fun fact: it was first announced in 2006).

The Harmattan Maemo in the N9 is hardly as 'experimental' as you would have us believe. How is it a 'first of its kind' when it is a refresh of the same OS that shipped on the N900 in 2009?

In summary, the OS does not make the specs 'mouth gaping'. I have been enjoying the intelligent discourse in this section for a while, please don't taint it with your imbecility.

fanistic:
i actually own a htc desire and was thinking of upgrading to the sensation but the death grip issue simply ruled that out for me, also to hear the sgs2 heats up pretty well. when would we get that perfect phone with all the exorbitant price tag without the so called flaws? in my opinion the desire rocks and when a get a phone that is stable i'd jump wagon.

Dude, the SGS 2 is the hottest phone on the block for good reason. Lots of phones heat up at one time or the other and i have not heard any widespread claims of overheating for the SGS 2.

ziccoit:
Very soon we will be able to run Android apps via Myriad's Alien Dalvik software on any OS starting with MeeGo. You know what? Nokia N9 is announced with mouth gaping specs and performance. I think this is going to be my next phone. I will have to put hold on SGS 2 for now.

You call those specs 'Mouth gaping'? A 2009 era 1GHz processor and the Power VR SGX 530 that came out with the iPhone 3GS in 2009?

Abeg give me the location of the rock you've been hiding under, may come in handy if we really see lotsa disasters in 2012

Odunnu:
Quite revealing. Ringim sure has a hand in it all. He is incompetent!

I long for the day you have the courage to attribute most of the blame to the person who deserves it.
There is one man who has been entrusted by you misguided folks to see to the safety and security of Nigerians. I guess he's doing his job satisfactorily, eh?

belushi7:
@fanistic, all devices have their flaws. however , in the case of the sgs2, all tech sites have rated it best smartphone on the planet . try get one, I am sure your wow experience wont allow you notice any temperature change. But really, is there any 1Ghz processor smartphone which wont feel warm to the touch while running multiple apps at the same time? [b]the good part of sgs2 is it wont lag while others do. [/b]I presently own an sgs but I have played with the sgs2. will soon upgrade to it though cos I just don't see any other phone like it.

Just a comment on the bolded text. There are many other Android phones with Dual core processors that do not lag at all.

blapo:
what do you guys think about htc legend, though the screen is a minus for me compared to other htc phones. moreover of all the telecomms in the country which one is arguably the best for data services. mtn seems to be very easy to configure but the cost is killing.

Unless you're severely constrained by cash, do not buy the HTC Legend. it's strictly a lower tier Android phone now

Sun of god:
The guy seems to be a joke.

Even the so called 'low life' Ohakim put job creation at the top of the list.

I cant see Rochas lasting 1 term - Imo will be even more Bankrupt by the time he has finished dealing with Imo people.

Without income from students how does he expect to invest in better facilities?

Is he going to start selling bonds thereby increasing the indebtiness of the state? I suspect so.

Nigeria has to many Governors in post not qualified to perform what they are tasked with.

They just get elected on false promises - and once in office they start talking shiite and acting like bush men.

Rochas is clearly only interested in short term political gains - this will come at the long term expence of the state.

Any bank that has loaned money to Imo must consider calling in the loan as the prospects of repayment dwindle everyday this dude is in office.

I can't understand your glaring hypocrisy. You were one of the loudest mouths for GEJ a few months ago, why didn't you call him a 'joke' when he was busy making unrealistic promises? Why didn't you accuse GEJ of the same desire for 'short term political gains' when he was busy endorsing and praising the likes of Ohakim, Akala and Daniel?

buzugee:
and how do you catch the killers when not one single naija man is in govt database, never mind fingerprints ? you tink say dem go  comb through 150 million nimrods to ask for their fingerprints ? tis all a waste of time. i hope we are not paying for this sha. hopefully its free service. all the FBI stiffs get is room and board and a bowl of peppersoup daily. opari

Can't you TRY to make intelligent contributions on Nairaland for once? Did Jega not provide the FG with fingerprints, photos and other biodata for 70+ million Nigerians?

Apart from fingerprints, the FBI can easily help the FG 'fingerprint' the explosives used, assist in determining the source, detonation agent and other relevant information borne of decades of experience fighting bombers.

omenala:
Medicine after death! Mtcheeeew

Congrats, you have just won the 'Imbec'ile of the year' for 2011.

We are lamenting the effects of poor education and illiteracy in Nigeria and here you are showcasing your imbecility. Na wa.

Horus:
Why we have to rely on the FBI?, is there any Nigerian intelligence agency to do this job?. The more you depend on forces outside yourself, the more you are dominated by them.

Yet another brainless contribution from you. Even the likes of Russia have sought external help when their capabilities fall short. The priority is to catch these killers and bring them to justice. That is all.

dapachez:
imagine what about the politicians they are celebrated shey.well such is life for a crime one wears a crown and another bears a cross,how ironic life could be

Why all these brainless comments? So we should open up all the prisons and release the inmates because politicians are getting off light abi?

These people are killers and deserve their fate. That is all.

Using our tax money to placate criminals and thwart justice to ordinary Nigerians!

I long for the day when this cadre of cowards grow the testicles required to actually solve crime related problems and bring criminals to justice instead of attempting to throw wads of cash at them.

After the hare-brained 'Amnesty' offer to the murderous Boko haram, anyone still chanting that 'Fresh Air' mantra has to be a m'oron!

michelin89:
What's the difference between this girl and Gene? Gene is even prettier. Maybe na her igbotic accent.

If you think acting is all about physical beauty, i am truly sorry for you

[quote author=Yours GEJ, link=topic=693415.msg8543176#msg8543176 date=1308407907]^^ some people just like to show off with trivialities. he's your dad's friend and so phocking what? Your dad should work for his success and not lean on that of other people. Mtchewww[/quote]He's telling you he's happy and why he's happy. Why are you quick to assume he's trying to show off?

Some people just like to display their insecurities and inferiority complex in a public forum.

Also, he said guy is his friend's dad, not his dad's friend. Learn how to read.

Odunnu:
Lol.
Lets talk about this 'rumour' then since we are on the thread. Do not distract us.

lol. Insufferable lady!

I'm pretty sure i'd like you it we ever met offline.

Odunnu:
There are litany of threads on that issue Sir Texx. You may vent your anger and rage on any of them, but on this particular thread we are commending GEJ on a wise decision he just took. Stay on topic or . . .

This thread is about a RUMOUR that Okonjo Iweala has agreed to serve in the GEJ cabinet. it is not about praising GEJ.


Stick to priorities please!

Collins420:
Who is more qualified than she. She single handedly exposed Obasanjo on d excess crude account withdrawal and courageously resigned before her name could be rubbished. Let Goodluck be commended rather than condemned.

We'll commend Goodluck when he does something about the reckless slaughter of Nigerians in bomb blasts right under his nose.

And no, offering our tax money to murderers in the name of 'Amnesty' is not a sensible course of action.

mpeg:
He took advantage of my thing without my consent but i dont think i will call him a thief. He is an an elder bros and am more successful. This is the first time this kind of thing is happening and am considering probably, he thought while i was away, i may never need the car again, but that was my lovely car, he could have told me at least. If i dont have the right to order the buyer to return the car, then i give up. To involving nigerian police? Not me, those guys are nonsense, sorry to insult them.

The naija police aren't as 'nonsense' as your dysfunctional family relationship. why would anyone's brother sell their stuff without asking for permission sef?

Your m'oronic docility in the face of this theft (coupled with the new account you're using) leads me to believe that this is just one of these fake stories insecure and joyless people post on Nairaland just to be the centre of attraction for once in their joyless lives.

And that's just pathetic.

You know, If it's actually confirmed that Soludo's roadmap definitely had Islamic banking on the plate, y'all will look like a bunch of re'tards.

This is the issue with Nigerians and intellectual laziness. I have not yet seen any detailed breakdown or analysis on what the proposed Islamic banking will entail. Yelling out the usual bigoted cries of 'aboki' and 'sharia' only marks you out as someone with limited intellect.

Either way, this whole issue doesn't bother me one bit. i'd prefer the Anglican bishops were more occupied in caring for the poor, sick and needy.

Eko Ile:
I was going to ask you why, but you're gonna end up boring me with the same lame and backward rubbish.

Haba, he didn't attack you na, he merely expressed his opinion.

That said, I agree with you. The MM IA is a source of eternal embarrassment to Lagos and Nigeria. A new airport run more efficiently by the LSG may be in order.

fork adict:
@ Odiaero.
it's people like you that stretch one's patience to its very limit on Nairaland. And when someone loses it and start describing your likes with very unpleasant but very true adjectives, the person will be labelled as rude, insulting bla bla bla.

The writer puts up his article with countless allegations against arik air's management. In your bid to counter his claims you put up such sentiment ridden and downright i.diotic posts above. You are either unintell.igent or a close relative of Arik air's chairman. One of these has to be true.

If you want to rebuff the countless claims in a credible and intelligent way, you should tell us how you interviewed a staff of arik air and asked him questions about how they are being owed 3 months salaries, availablility of water dispensers within their office premises, the non-remittance of their pension funds etc etc. There are probably a thousand serious allegations in the article. You should also tell us if he denied them or not.

Mind you i work. But luckily enough for me, my employer pays me my salary and allowances as at when due. So i cant just imagine being owed a month's salary talk more of 3 months salaries. ARE YOU FORKING KIDDING ME? 3 STRAIGHT FORKING MONTHS? How the fork do i pay my bills, cater for my family? Even if all other allegations in the article were false and this one alone is true, then i boldly say that ARIK AIR IS THE MOST FORKED UP COMPANY ON THE FORKING PLANET! i really empathise with the poster. I dont think you are gainfully employed (although i may be wrong) so i dont expect you to fully understand the implications of this single allegation.

Please note that i am not sucker enough to believe that everything the poster says about Arik air is true. hell no i dont. But you coming on here to present such narrow minded, imbecill.ic defence on Arik's behalf is what i find disgusting. You need to develop a mature, intelligent and objective means of viewing issues man.

Don't mind the goat.
All he cares about is that the Arik air CEO is from Edo State (where he hails from) and as such he will defend the man to the death even if he catches his rap'ing his wife.

Instead of taking on the raised points in the OP logically, he is here braying about conspiracies.

Useless old crook!
