1.make sure its jailbroken else this method wont work
2. search for ssh iphone on youtube, cant drop link here, my username has been banned many times for that
3. go to cydia, search and install toggleSSH and OpenSSh
4. search for WinScp via google (winscp is an FTP programme that u can use to transfer files)
4. go to document>>installous>>download and you will see all your cracked apps there (thats if you have not deleted them after installing)

Bode George - Longest serving political criminal and still somebody wants him locked up for more years,  where is the fairness in this kind of justice

Can you quit parroting this lie?
Bode George has served only ONE year of a TWO YEAR sentence and you're calling him the 'longest served political criminal'? Are you on crack? The man stole 100 billion Naira, just what do they teach you in that church of yours?

Please quit airing your ignorance here. And the man is not a 'political criminal'. He was convicted by a competent law court for crimes totally unrelated to politics.
Or was it Adeboye that told you these things?

[quote author=Xavier. link=topic=572287.msg7381490#msg7381490 date=1292938408]Abeg shut your trap and go pay your tolls.

Don't understand why the rich don't like spending money. Tolls are taken in mushin, no one is complaining, now its lekki, they re spitting fire. You want good roads, but dnt want to make sacrifices. Abeg go sit down.[/quote]This can only be posted by someone who does not pay taxes. Abeg go and obtain employment, start paying taxes then see if you'd be happy with being billed for something that should have been provided to you by the state government.

It's not about the money. It's the morality of the whole thing. The OP has laid out his argument in lucid and clear logic. Take time out to read it before commenting.

The person being interviewed is a serving minister in the Gbagbo cabinet. Why the heck do you people expect him to be unbiased? What did you really expect him to say?

I agree with Beaf here. Some of you here drop some IQ points and start panting like dogs as soon as 'Western Imperialism' is mooted.
Even the normally sensible Ileke-idi is not immune to this folly.
What next, an interview with Mohammed Abacha where we ask him if Sani Abacha was crooked?

Anyway, the calls for Gbagbo's removal is not only from the US of France, but from the UN in general. This includes even countries like China and Russia that have often stood as a stumbling block to attempts to sanction despots.

You are still dumbly arguing even after teaching you that an asteroid is a component of the solar system? Please go and register for a basic geography class.

Nice try, but i suspect no-one is going to buy that.
The topic says 'Nigerian discovers new Solar System' not ' Nigerian discovers new component of Solar System'.

Perhaps in addition to repeating JSS2, you may want to invest in some good English textbooks since you apparently struggle with simple written English.

kulutempa:
After all is said and done, I can understand why commuters are up in arms but the danger of a U turn at this stage as I have said is loss of investor confidence and a lack of trust in our government. A better solution may well be for the government to leave things the way they are and build an alternative single lane road from tax revenues or royalties received from the concession.

You have to decide what's best; hurt feelings from a few investors (and i sincerely think you're exaggerating the problem) or an aggrieved populace that rightly should be the immediate concern of the State Governor.

People are complaining of the tolls on the road and you think a better solution is to keep the unpopular tollgates in place while working on a new lane that would take several years to complete?
So as a State Governor, you'd tell your citizens "Hey, we don't wanna scare off these investors. Manage the thing that has been causing you so much grief for a couple of years while we build an alternative route"?

kulutempa:
Fashola may gain short term political capital from this move but the long term damage will be incalculable. It is decisions such as this that make foreigner investors avoid Nigeria as a risky investment destination. The whole thing should have been well thought out before the concession agreement was signed and it is rather unfair on the investors who have borrowed billions for the project and were led to believe that they would make a good return on their investment. I just hope the powers that be can see the bigger picture but somehow I doubt it.

It's unfair on the people. Lots of people bitterly resent those tollgates. What picture can be bigger than this?
This is not about 'Political capital'. It's about listening to your people.

we want the best work(roads, water,power) or services but we don't want to
pay the best fair for service rendered. that is why nothing
is working in Nigeria,because we want the government to do everything for free.

there is an alternative route, but its still under construction
Fashola meant well, we pay toll to police everyday on roadblocks
yet we don't complain, I traveled with some of my friend who are not
Nigeria and they counted 187 cheek-point from Lagos to warri.  I respect
governor Fashola for the standard He has set in lagos state

I pay more than 2.5 million a year in taxes. I account for over 70% of the electricity I consume (two generators and one inverter).  The water I drink is from a private borehole. What the heck are you talking about, is the Government doing anything for me for free?
If you bribe Police, that's your business. My papers are complete. Why are yours not complete? I pay no kobo to Police when I drive.

Look, we get it. You're probably a housewife who pays no taxes and thus has no idea about what people pay. When I tally up my accounts and see millions heading to the Government coffers, damn right I feel entitled to good roads.

Lest I forget, your analogy of bribing Police when driving from Lagos to Warri is just retarded. People pass through those tolls on a daily basis, shebi you know?

[size=14pt]100 billion Naira !!! That is still less than what Ibru, Igbenideon and Alams stole yet they walked away with just a pat on their back. We cannot have one rule for some and another rule for others. The rule of law stipulates all are treated b4 the law.[/size]

Igbinedion did not steal anything near 50 billion naira. Even Alams from the much richer Bayelsa state is reputed to have carted off around 50 billion.

There are no different rules for different people. There is only one law. Each of these people were arraigned on different charges, before different judges. I don't understand why you expected similar sentencing.

Either way, the failure or inability of the Judiciary and EFCC to bring these crooks To justice is not the issue. Hy is Adeboye palling around with these criminals, and why is he inserting himself as an arbiter in the penal process? Why is the separation between church and state not distinct.

And finally, why is the Man of God not making himself more useful with private discussions with the truly needy in the prisons? Why not take up the cause of those unfortunate ones still awaiting trial?
Why the abuse of his position to lobby the Govt To free criminals who have not yet served their term?

KnowAll:
[size=14pt]It is a shame that in the over 20,000  corrupt public officer's from Councillors to the Presidency,  Bode George seems to be the only one handed a lenghty sentence. Talking of double standard. (Sentences for Ibru, Igbenidion and Alams comes to mind) 

With that said Bode Gorge has served more time in prison than any other political criminal and deserve a pardon,  if we want to be fair and apart from that if he has a spritual re-birth what right have we got as humans to remind him of his misdeameanors when the king of kings have absolved him of that sin.[/size]

With people like you in Nigeria, we'll remain a backward nation. Estimated 100 billion naira stolen by Mr George and you're asking for a pardon after doing just one freaking year in prison?
Perhaps we should release every murderer in Prison after they experience a spiritual rebirth. Perhaps we should free everyone who tells tHe court That the devil made them commit a crime.
While we're on that, maybe Christians who pay tiThes should be made exempt from taxes, after all they've already paid some money to the earthly representatives of the King of Kings.  

You people truly exasperate me!

An asteroid is part and parcel of the solar system. What do you know if you do not know this? Mumu

The topic your cohort posted claims an asteroid is a Solar System. The fact that you're defending this stupidity tells volumes about your undoubtedly low IQ.
This begs The question; why do you and the OP struggle with what the average JSS2 student knows?

I'm much happier after this 'discussion' with you. At least I know this tribalistic nonsense is restricted to the really dumb Nigerians. There's hope for us after all.

GAR3TH:
Fact is, if you cant afford the tolls, I wonder how you were able to buy a car.

Lots of people have cars and are financially constrained.

People are complaining about the tolls. One good solution would be to reduce it, perhaps down to around N50.

KnowAll:
[size=14pt]"He who has not sin should cast the first stone", all men are and would be absolved from their sins so long they repent b4 the grim ripper comes calling. It might sadden a lot of you that those who committed the most gruesome and cruel sin in the eyes of man might end up in the bosom of the lord in heaven(those awesome pictures of the Jos mayhem comes to mind) . God's way is totally different from man's way.

You steal 1 kobo and you steal 20 billion dollars is the same in the eyes of God that is the grim truth.[/size]

This is how you people quote the Bible to suit yourselves. Did the same bible not urge you to "Give unto caesar what belongs to Caesar"?
Your so-called repentance has no bearing on the justice and law of the land if you commit a crime. Justice must be served.

If you cant do the time, don't do the crime. I don't know what concerns Adeboye in this matter. It's one thing to plead yThe case of prisoners awaiting trial, it's another to start trying to let off a convicted criminal before he has made restitution.
Prisons are supposed to be correctional institutions. Let these men stay there and serve out the sentence the state has determined is adequate for them to serve. This one has nothing to do with 'repentance' or 'forgiveness'.

This is why we need more separation of church and state.

So Adeboye has the ear of fashola and the Presidency. I wonder why he did not see fit to intervene in the months long doctors strike in Lagos? I guess it's because na only the poor people dey suffer from such strikes and we all know poverty has no place in modern day Pentecostalism.

If you were not a stu=pid omo alata, you would have known that he merely copied and posted what was published by a hollow nigerian like you (second quote below).

Did he copy and paste the topic also? The topic says 'Solar System', and the topic is purely Akin-Egba's own input. But you're too dull to understand this.

You see how you prove my point? First Akin-Egba, then you. You ethnic bigots are really dull.

Instead of listing the Igbo professors and scientists you know, focus on yourselves. Ask yourself why you two don't know something that JSS1 students learn in elementary Geography.

as in well, i dunno for u o @ op

HTC has countless models, which one are we talking about?

Iphone is kinda like just 1, well four, each a sequential improvment on the previous one, but its really one product, IPHONE.

HTC like others has countless models.


so your question is kinda like nokia or iphone, nokia also includes 3310 so

That's funny. There's no basis for saying ''they may have the weapons but don't know how to use them correctly''.

How familiar are you with the training regime of the Nigerian military in terms of officers' qualifications, capabilities, number of training courses attended per annum vis a vis the pre civil war era? Can you for instance tell me how many officers are trained today to handle a  Vickers Mk 3 main battle tank, of which the army owns about 200?

What about the M-56 100 mm Artillery Vehicle, of which the army owns 220??

Or the SA 7 and APR-21 122 mm MRLS missile systems numbering 120


Do you really think these equipment are lying around the barracks with soldiers clueless as to how to use them?

That's a joke, right?? 

One thing OBJ did was increase the professionalism of the military.

Even in the days of Abacha and IBB when army indiscipline was the norm, they still brought Liberia and Sierra Leone to peace. 

The army is at least three times more professional today than it was then.

Throwing around big words that discerning people know to be meaningless. See someone talking about 'SA 7 missile systems' as if the SA 7 is not a 1960s era shoulder launched AA missile with very limited effectiveness against modern combat jets.
If we didn't have MLRS systems, we'd be a banana republic.
The Vickers main battle tank was not a top-of-the-line model even when it was made for export in 1975. Even the Kenyans have recognised that this tank is becoming obsolete and are making concerted efforts to replace their own stock with more modern T-72 tanks.


look, i'm not trying to belittle the Nigerian Army. We have an army adequate for our immediate environment. But the topic refers to the Strongest millitary in Africa, and we're technologically inferior to the Egyptians and South Africans.

GAR3TH:
lol Nigeria does have a company which makes APC (Armoured personnel carrier) and the Defence Industrial Corporation of Nigeria also manufactures its own ak47 (obj).

the air force also builds its own UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and also manufactures it "air beetle" trainers

i believe the Navy is currently building a warship.

https://i31.tinypic.com/20rqsh.jpg

Not one of these would last one day in pitched battle with the Egyptian Air Force. Our 'air beetle' is just a slow trainer craft. The APCs manufactured here are mainly effective in scaring off protesters, not going against even a rag-tag group armed with RPGs

For anyone to mention M.I 2 as a bad album, that someone needs his head examined, even if M.I killed his family n he is seeking revenge on M.I.
The truth shall set u free pally. People don`t care u hating on him, he is creative so go get a life.

You people need to grow up. What kind of childish mentality is this, someone airing his opinion is automatically branded a 'hater'?

I myself was not thrilled with MI2. It didn't engage me like the first album did. It's not a bad album, it isn't crap. But for me it falls short of what i expected. Kinda like comparing Eminem's last 2 albums to Slim Shady LP. They're great music, but not up to his best.

This OP Akin-Egba must be a real dullard. Since when did a heavenly body become a 'Solar System'?

Even JSS2 students are taught what a Solar System is. This confirms my position that most of these ethnic bigots are really dumb.

There are literally hundreds of HTC models. There's no phone like 'HTC'.

@TEXAZZPETE,
WHY USING OFFENSIVE WORDS ON PEOPLE OVER ISSUES THAT PAYS YOU NOTHING. IT REALLY HURTS HOW PEOPLE MISBEHAVE IN ISSUES LIKE THIS. PEOPLE ONLY SAY THEIR OPINION THEN YOU SAY YOURS. IT DOES NOT CALL FOR CONFLICTS DEAR. IT MAKES NO SENSE. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT LIBERIA HAVING SAME OPINION WITH ME, I AM A LIBERIAN, AND HERE PEOPLE HAVE SAME NOTION ABOUT THE NIGERIAN LAND TROOPS. REMEMBER WHAT I MENTIONED EARLIER"LAND TROOPS" BY THE WAY I AM NOT TRYING TO PRAISE YOUR COUNTRY , I AM ONLY SAYING MY OPINION. PLEASE MY DEAR LEARN HOW TO BE OPEN AND FREE MINDED TO PEOPLE

All i said was 'it makes no sense'.

Tippy Top:
So why is America regarded as a great military nation when it only fights the likes of Afghanistan and Iraq but refusing to face "real" opponents like the North Koreans?

Iraq had perhaps the strongest army in the Middle East (Excluding the Israelis of course, and on par with the Iranians) when the Americans struck. In a conventional warfare situation, the North Koreans aren't much stronger.

Why would the US take on North Korea when the end result will just be a devastated Korea (both North and South)?

Believe me, though, if the North sends troops across the DMZ, killing American soldiers stationed there in the process, you'll get the war you're probably hoping for.

Have any of you loudmouths ever once inspected or examined the Nigerian military armoury? Do you know anything about their training regimes and programmes? Their weapons procurement regimes?

An ignorant creep like you just comes in here mouthing garbage off the top of his head without doing any real research?

Do spare us your rubbish.

The people of Sierra Leone, Liberia, the Niger Delta, Somalia etc do not share your ignorant ideas with regard to the Nigerian military, of whose firepower and effectiveness they are living witnesses, with you a faraway, spiteful, ignorant know-nothing.

Rubbish!
This is how Super Eagles dey beat the likes of Lesotho and Guinea, come dey beat chest.
You're talking of millitary prowess and you're using the likes of Sierra Leone and Liberia as an example. That doesn't make any sense, sorry. Faced with decent opposition, i wonder how the Nigerian Army will do in the field?
I don't have to be privy to weapons procurement meetings. We see the cream of the Nigerian air force and Navy and we clearly see how lacking they are. We see the ancient Armoured Personnel Carriers the Nigerian Army goes around in. They might as well have no plating, their armor can barely defeat heavy machine gun rounds, not to talk of RPGs!
We've seen how backward we are in rocketry. We see how backward our home grown defense industry is, we only started churning out NATO 7.62mm bullets a few years back, i'm not sure if we even make ordinary mortars here.

The Egyptian Air force honed their talents preparing for an possible conflict in the Middle East. They'll cream the Nigerian Air force in one day. Ditto for the South Africans.

PS3 is the reason why England national team is wack, most kids there play Fifa 11 video games than the real thing

No.

@OP I usually take my time out to read reviews before i buy games, so it's rare before I get caught up in a bad game.
It's important to look beyond the pre-release hype and wait for the reviews. I remember how in the early days of the PS3, lots of people bought The Bouncer just because of the cool trailer they released for it.

So remember, reviews not trailers. Trailers can deceive you, go ask anyone that watched 'Hancock'
