Sorry, u dont do that to Airline Manufacturers, as you must have Somthing in place or banks to back you up in case you fail tongue
Such an imbecilic reply. Isn't a huge point of this article devoted to the fact that the airline is living on borrowed funds? Did anyone say they bought planes on credit?

Your relentless defense of Arik Air is noted even in the face of the evidence beginning to trickle in. One begins to wonder if you've been compromised in some way.

she's 28 and earns 120,000 p/m and her family are comfortable too. The only advice i gave her was to drop the car since its too flashy and may b get a smaller one.
Concerning d men, i was thinking that those men are nt educated and thus d ego in them coz i discused it wt my guy and he said that traders doesn't like their wife to earn more than them to avoid the disrespect.
May God deliver this lady from bad friends like you. Sell her car to get a man? Are you insane?

[quote author=EzeUche! link=topic=688429.msg8504862#msg8504862 date=1307885778]That is exactly what they want us to do. Abiola said he did not need Igbo support, and we showed him you cannot insult a major group and expect us to accept it. It serves him right, and I am glad someone like Nzeribe was able to stop him. cool[/quote]So in other words, your people were very happy to put their necks under the Northern axes once more because they 'felt insulted'?

This is hilarious!

This back and forth is entertaining but it does not detract from the ultimate truth: tribalism (like racism) is imbecility!

Secondly how come the owners of the property only came out now shouting" blue murder" medicine after death I would say, if Mr Bankole had won his election and returned to the House of Reps would all these drama be unfolding.
The article clearly states that the petition to the Vice President was dated March 15th 2011. That was a long time before Bankole's defeat at the polls. For someone with the moniker 'KnowAll' you certainly don't read articles in detail.

@op you are right the price of cement has come down to N 1,900!

I just bought a brand I use to buy 2400 before the Ultimatum!!! to those who called GEJ clueless when he made the pronouncement they can now see that they are the fools!!!! CLUELESS that no notting about nigeria even the person they supported in the person they supported in the last presidential election is also a clueless and a fool
Learn how to read. The main reasons for the high prices of cement are the activities of the cartel of importers and manufacturers. Throwing manufacturing and importing open to all will crash the price to manageable levels, but your god GEJ will not take this step. Instead they offer you crumbs and here you are licking their boots and grovelling.

Education › Re: He Got 2.2 In Sch And His Dad Became Hostile To Him. by texazzpete(m): 3:00pm On Jun 12, 2011
I don't know why you clowns are taking Panadol for another man's headache. Were you there when the man was paying school fees for his son?
Is the father MANDATED to pay for his son's University education?
It could well have been a contract of some sort. I pay for your education, in turn just ensure you come out with a good degree. Isn't the man allowed to feel dissapointment when his son came up short?

If the boy did not have the ability to make a 2.1, perhaps the dad would not have been bothered. But the man must have been let down by a son with potentials who failed to live up to his side of the bargain.

For the record, anyone that claims that you can only get a 2.1 by bribing lecturers is immediately identified as a mediocre student.

So it matters not if you know someone with a 3rd class who has made it in life. The bottom line is that the dad paid all school fees + housing. In return, the son underachieved academically. Why do you not expect the man to be upset?

As for your comment on his guilt or innocence not being relevant, may I remind you that part of the accusations against him is for sexually molesting young men.

This Drifta mobile is very hot in demand. I was at the Multi-Choice Head office in Abuja yesterday to buy the device, but the 'commodity' got finished while I was on the qeuee. We were later told to come back next week, but I doubt if I'll have the chance to go there next week. People are seriously buying this thing o!
Most of the Multi-Choice offices i've been to have no idea how to activate the Drifta. They haven't even received any units yet.

Anyone know how to activate the Drifta decoder? I wanna try and activate the one I got from South Africa.

Car Talk › Re: Why Is It That Women Are Mean When Driving? by texazzpete(m): 11:06pm On Jun 11, 2011
This isn't a myth. A large number of female drivers are pretty mean.
As someone said earlier, it's most likely due to their belief that male drivers are out to oppress them and hence they must be as mean and 'tough' as possible.
They plead with you with their eyes and hands and you'd give them room to cut in. As soon as the roles are reversed, they'll resolutely ignore all your entreaties.
NYSC › Re: Kidnappers Of Corps Members Demand N100m Ransom. by texazzpete(m): 7:10am On Jun 10, 2011
After the killings of the Corps members in the North during the last elections, what the Government ought to have done was to go on a massive sensitization campaign to re-establish the respect for corps members in the hearts and minds of the general populace.

Instead this Government set up a 'probe panel'.

Hopefully one day we'll have a Government that focuses on pro-active measures instead of the usual reactive bullcrap.

I am telling u now dat i have the the app on my n79, just waiting for the drifta by da way u said "the drifta has been in SA for ages" tell me wetin SA sabi? Dem no get brain like naija, my guy i hv the drifta app for blackberry,ipad,nokia,pc, U REMEMBER WHEN I START THIS THREAD ABOUT THE NOKIA TV RECEIVER ? Many of una NO BELIEVE ME and even till now tex, u still dey doubt like thomas
If you're referring to the Valups Tivit app for those phones, it doesn't work with the Drifta. This has been confirmed multiple times by south african sources and is a common question on lots of SA forums.

For now, there are no multichoice/dstv branded apps for those platforms. Feel free to take a screenshot to prove me wrong.

u are wrong bro, the drifta is also compatible with symbian s60v3 phones,blackberry phones, ipad and its only compatible with phones with wlan,wifi. If your phone or tablet,blackberry,iphone does not hv wifi, it wont work. your phone receives dvbh tv via wifi just as su-33w sends via bluetooth
No. YOU are wrong.
Why don't you re-read the poster YOU posted here? The Drifta sends out its signals via Wifi for mobile devices but it needs an DSTV mobile app on the client side to work. On the iPad and iPhone, you go to the appstore and download the app before it can work.

At the moment there is no app for Blackberries, Symbian and Android devices so you cannot use the Drifta with any of these right now. Even in South Africa where it launched a long while ago, there's no support for any other platform apart from PC and iOS devices.

There is something u guys dnt understand, its only in nigeria that u can make big money out of every little thing. All they want to do is sell their drifta,so they added ss3 there, i dnt know if they are expecting me to dump my su-33w and get the drifta. After they have advertised and sold their first dstv phone f912 and nokia 5330,dem make money finish for the two phone dem bring drifta. They know what u guys want so dem hold una for prick, other countries apart from SA dnt care thats why they have the best channels.
Why would they expect you to dump your su-33w? the Drifta is for use only on iPhone, IPad and laptops. For Nokia phones, the Su-33w is the only means of mobile DSTV.

Also, it's worth noting that on South African forums they many of the users there are complaining bittery of poor channel selection. They are even lamenting that Nigerians have better channel selection that they have. Funny, eh?
Politics › Re: Would Boko Haram Embrace Amnesty As Advised? by texazzpete(m): 9:42am On Jun 07, 2011
People should learn to SUE the federal government for offering amnesty without compensation.
Amnesty means denial of justice. It means the killers of your loved ones will go scot free!

The Federal Government has to compensate victims of MEND and Boko Haram simultaneously with the amnesty programmes. If not, a lowsuit is probably the best option.

What will a Windows 8 PC be? A few rough ideas:  

A 2.5GHz quad-core ARM chip-based Windows 8 tablet?

Newfangled Windows 8 tablet-centric hybrid with slider keyboard?

Motorola Atrix smartphone-with-laptop-dock kind of device?

Tried-and-true clamshell laptop sporting a high-performance ARM chip?
You do realize that most Windows 8 systems will be Intel and AMD x86 CPU based? And that Microsoft has stated that the minimum requirements should be the same or less than Windows 7?
All you're mentioning above is ARM processor based systems.

second of all nigeria didn't make 200 billion dollars in oil revenue and only a %age of oil revenue goes to the federal government which is then divided into the states and ministries so where does El Rufai get the figure that the federal government spent 200 billion dollars? that's on par with the average european country's national budget.
1. It's a percentage, yes, but a hefty percentage of that $200 billion.
2. He says the Federal Govt spent $200 billion in 4 years, not in one year.

Theblessed:
[b][size=16pt]Very sad indeed!  What a loss of a young life!

Could this have been caused by ignorance, failure or lack of skill/knowledge on the part of the Doctors to make appropriate diagnoses? It is true no one knows everything, human body is a complex thing that no one can actually fathom out, all the health issues that we suffer.

As a result, it is important where we lack knowledge/understanding of the issues, to refer the patient for their own good - you refer the case to other Doctors with the knowledge to help the patient because, life is precious and there's no time to waste when someone's  life is in the balance.

But in Nigeria, this is not the case, most Doctors have no clue about the diseases they are treating and they continue to treat the patients blindly and, to their perils.  And I ask, why do our Doctors do this, if not greed - MONEY, MONEY, and more MONEY?

People are poor and you're adding to their misery.  I see a lot of orthopaedic patients on  crutches with their limbs amputated when there's no need to do so and these Doctors do it without serious consideration of the impact on the patient's life - psychological, social, economic, family responsibility/support etc.  

To have an amputee in a family, especially, the breadwinner of the household, is a massive responsibility for the whole family.  

I reckon, what matters is to doctors, is to convince the patient that there's no alternative solution to their problems other than to cut-off the limbs.  In fact, if it's possible for them, they would even suggest your head be cut-off perhaps, that would solve the problem, isn't it? angry

Now, imagine how this lady complained of gastric pain for over 2 day and nothing effective was done for her.  

The disease could have been anything or E-coli as it is killing people in Europe right now but if it was the case, what are the Doctors in this hospital and the authorities doing to contain the strain so that other patients/the public do not suffer?

Now, she's gone leaving a toddler without a mum, imagine that!

Personally, I am not really concerned about the husband because, I give him until after the funeral, he re-marries but what about the baby, would he get another mother? No!!!
This is so painful, there is no need for this lady to loose her life this way - no!  

May, your soul rest in peace, my young lady!

I just need to mention that nowhere in the OP does it mention the exact illness that killed her nor the efforts put in by medical personnel looking after her.
Knee-jerk criticisms of our health care system over this post are rather moronic.

This is why I never go the any hospital/clinc in that dugeon called nigeria. Most people I know that went never came out alive, and if they do, are never thesame embarassed
Without any facts at his disposal, this fellow is already heaping blame on the hospital. For what it's worth, stomach pain is a symptom, not the disease proper. And people do die after 'brief illnesses' in every country in the world.

PS: I am not a doctor. I just believe in common sense.

He used the word 'most'. And that is a serious disservice to many excellent doctors in Nigeria. Can't see why you're standing up for his imbecilic generalization.
