What a bunch of dolts!
They say Mustapha's active years are being 'frittered away'. What of the ended lives he and his cohorts are strongly linked to?

Poor people are in jail for over 10 years on charges of stealing chickens. Let them tackle those poor people first.

I do understand 4 Play, i understand he knows who this Nneka is,,, but to feign ignorance is such a disgusting thing for me,


A beautiful thread such like this and adults playing pranks dosent make sense at all,

If he needs to make some noise, the games and jokes board are full of this ,

You really need to grow a sense of humour ASAP!

It is painful that a thread about the giant strides of Nneka Egbuna, the first Nigerian artist to collaborate with American Rapper, Nas, has been turned into an avenue to display ignorance and crass jealousy. This is not about the Nneka that defrauded a nairalander. Nneka Egbuna is getting popular everyday. Her music is great and she is a good example of what an average Nigerian youth should be. I have written some stories about Nneka on my blog and have taken the time to conduct a proper research on her. Nneka Egbuna keeps her website and Myspace page updated daily. This is what many Nigerian artists fail to do.  It is not important that you should like her music, but it is very difficult no to . The reason why I like Nneka Egbuna is because she chose to identify with Nigeria when she had 1000 reasons to stay away from the country. This is a mixed race lady who has chosen to highlight the problems of the Niger Delta through her music. How many musicians with Nigerian heritage are doing this? We have the likes of Sade Adu, Tunde Baiyewu, Seal, Lemar Obika etc who are not doing much to identify with Nigeria. Yet a lady who has a lot of opportunities in Germany comes along to inspire us to be concerned about our country's destiny and we laugh at her

Nneka speaks intelligently and she has made good use of the opportunities she came across in Europe to launch her career. Let us learn from her to start doing positive things wherever we are located. Nneka Egbuna is on the way to greater things and she might just get that Grammy Award in the near future. Cheers.

Since when did collaborating with Nas become 'giant strides'?
The same CNN did a piece on Child torture in Nigeria. How many of you even bothered to respond. Only three! And this is for people who are suffering and dying in your own country.
Now that someone collaborates with Nas, you pop out of the woodwork. Nigerians and their misplaced priorities!

@Texazzpete  is this post genuine or has someone hijacked your account or name. Your're selling an iPhone 3Gs (32gb) I presume it's a 3Gs you missed that out in your post for N130k? LWKMD

Am not quarrelling with the price, N130k is fair enough [b]but [/b]you bit my head off a few days ago when I suggested that a poster was being mischievous asking to pay N100K to N110k to buy a an iPhone 4

Anyway I will have a 32 iPhone 4 in Lagos next week, are you interested?

My bad. It's an iPad 32GB. I don't know why i have iPhone on the brain these days.
But the title clearly says iPad na, plus the firmware 3.2 shoulda tipped you off.

Since i want an iPhone 4, i could easily swap this for one.

PS: Please note that this is the lowest price so far on NL for the 32GB iPad

Or they could just go to this topic
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-441616.0.html

Amaechi (a young viking) was the PA  to Odili (grand Norseman) while his boss (odili) was the MD of Pamo clinic in the late 90's.

Later, Odili became the governor of Rivers State, it was only right to introduce his 'begotten son' to the system, hence Amaechi became the speaker- R/S house of assembly. Rivers state from its creation until 1999 has never recorded the amount of massacre perpetrated by these two folks and their catel. Blood was trickled like pure water on the streets of Port Harcourt for what was remarked '8years' of darkness in the city.

Inspite of all these atrocities, no one could raise a damn hand for odili's impeachement, afterall his son was at the hem of affairs in the house. Amaechi knew, and was an accomplice in the game. He knew his father's boys, he knew their strengths and red-potentials. In short, they were disciples and Amaechi was to succeed the throne of his father as to continue the dynasty.

Prior to the 2007 polls, the fall-out chapter began, as to what our tabloids revealed was the reason for the fallout - "OBJ told odili to drop Amaechi and pick a neutral candidate or better Austin Okpara (Ikwerre descent) because he hated the disrespectful nature of Chibuike Amaechi" according to the tabloids.

As fate will have it, Amaechi later claimed the throne disregarding the aggreement btw Odili and the Abuja baronies, now he is the enemy to his former boss, OBJ and awhole lot of the "evil empire". 2011 polls is fast approaching and Amaechi knows that his erstwhile boss will do everything within his power to dethrone the disloyal son, thus it is only petinent to start bringing down all dangerous partners-in crime. Its the game! . . .and they'll tell you. . .we run this town.

It will not take an infant to decipher who killed soboma. . .Amaechi did of course! It doesnt take a thing to execute the crime and get a junkie from the waterfront with baritone voice to vomit those stuffs up here. . . afterall Amaechi will surely know all the killings mentioned. . .so what makes us think that guy was really the true killer.

Besides, the tabloids reveal the guys came dressed on french suits in a black colored 2010 model Toyota corolla. . .which is opposite of what the deceased boys wear. . .at least i know very well. neither soboma nor his bois have ever been spotted on even a simple corporate dressing. Soboma's building (popularly known as Lion house) is 3 houses away from the Police station, a street away from mine and about a street away from the murdered spot. . . everyone who knows Pere will agree with me that that guy is fat, hefty and always go on jean shorts. . .meaning the killers were professionals.^{something tells me they were top viking executioners sent by the top political tiers.}[/quote]bro, there's enough info in your post for a determined person to attempt to track you. On sensitive issues like this, exercise caution o!

juneau:
hes right. most fones here r priced ridiculously. a new 9800 fr 155k?? madness!!

To be honest, anyone who buys a crappy phone like the 9800 for above 100K needs psychiatric evaluation.
Hell, even loyal american BB owners aren't touching that stuff. Go read all the reviews and see how RIM gets panned for bringing out such a mediocre phone.

Kai!
I hereby declare myself the South-South chairman of the Nigerian Youth For IBB 2011. Na the only way i fit make money take buy motor like this

This statement from Saraki (and some of the comments in support) are rather brainless.

Why should a private company that diligently pays its taxes be compelled to incur additional costs to solve a national security problem just because they 'make huge profits'?
Aren't they here to make profits? Is there any crime in making profits?

Saraki comes off as being rather ignorant. Why make vague statements about 'gadgets'? Let him do his research before coming out with such talk.

@Texazzpete

you too quarrel, your gra gra too much,

Point of correction a 32gb unlocked iPhone 4 from Apple store in US is $750 (N112,500) and you're only allowed to buy a maximum of two. To buy from wholesalers for resale in the US is a minimum of $899 for 32gb as Apple are not supporting wholesalers and actively discouraging resale hence the limit on number you can buy in the shops.

UK Apple store in Covent Garden (the biggest Apple store in the world) it's £599 for 32gb, also a limit of two per customer. I know because I have bought both in the US and UK (actually saw Apple staff refusing to sell to some Asian women who were allegedly making their third or fourth)

Yes, I do sell phones, and lo & behold and God forbid I actually try to make a small margin - it's a business, but on Nairaland many potential buyers tend to regard sellers as shylocks or evil capitalist profiteers, always comparing prices they see on some website in UK, US, or elsewhere and think it should translate to the the exact same equivalent in Nigeria.

The foreign websites (even if the low prices are correct) sell tens of thousands of handsets, they can afford to make the slimmest margin. the interest rate they pay on their loans is often less than 2% pa, compared to your Nigerian business that might sell a total of 200 iPhones a year ie 4 every week and pay interest rate in excess of 25%, plus other import costs.

So I agree with you if someone is looking to dispose of a phone they bought 2 months ago and just wants to get their money back, then fair enough, they may well sell at cost, but too many NL'ers seem to think it's their right to get phones at below cost. But like I asked initially is the poster looking for a second hand phone?

Please note that the poster never specified that he wanted a 32GB iphone 4. why base your analysis on that model?
Also, the truth is that many sellers here on Nairaland slam unrealistic prices on their goods. How do i define unrealistic? People selling their phones at 40K over the average market price.

No yawa sha. Sorry if i was a bit too harsh in my initial post

Honestly is there anything this phone cant do? ? ?

Yes. Have all that power and still come in a sleek shape. Plus a physical home button. And while the screen isn't that bad, it's still resistive.

immigration offence is civil not a criminal offence and there are asian, eastern european and other nationals in that camp, why is it that
some nigerians are so wicked to another, is it because of ethnic hatred ?

And you didn't read where he said he worked using a false/stolen identity?

oladayo042:
There were outbursts of emotions and general excitement, when Orji started singing: “I can see everything turning around; everything turning around, ”

So let me get this clear.

A man who has been Governor for the past 2 years is singing that he can see things 'turning around'. Is he now admitting he's been absolutely rubbish so far? Or is he proclaiming that there's a magical elixir in the PDP that makes any serving Governor perform at levels he could not reach on other platforms?

It does seem like a Governor is celebrating a deliverance from bad Governance

@Aisha2
I'm not the most reliable person around due to a chronic case of hyperactivity and absent-mindedness. But you for still call me na

i'll be glad to chip in with something.

faithin9ja:
I don't understand the poster, are you looking for second hand phone or are you looking for a stolen phone (yahoo yahoo for instance)? how do you expect to buy a phone that costs £600, before shipping and profit for N110k, the seller will sell at a loss abi?

First of all, the phone costs 499 pounds in the UK, not 600 pounds as you claim.
Secondly, where the hell did you get the incredibly stoopid idea that the UK is the only place where phones can be bought?

You can snag a pay as you go iPhone 4 in the US for around $499 - $599. And this can be unlocked for naija use.

Thirdly, not everyone sells for a profit. Some people sell to recoup their investments. Someone could have bought an iPhone 4, decided he'd prefer a BlackBerry and would ready to sell to recoup his initial investment.

He's a buyer looking for a seller. if you ain't a seller then you're of no use to him.

davidylan:
Identity theft is a criminal offence. Stop white-washing that fact.

The visa you applied for and where duly given in 2005 CLEARLY STATED that you would be allowed into the UK for a temporary period and then leave. You agreed to that, so why are you crying about not being able to "regularize"? Did you not indicate to the consulate in Lagos that you had no intention of staying in the UK and hence the decision to award you a visa?

this is nonsense. The UK government is under no obligation to admit you.

and they exercised that right by having you arrested for over-staying your visa.

Well said, bro.
The sooner they deport this whiny criminal back to Nigeria, the better for us all. We're trying to re-brand here.
Lots of genuine people are denied visas in Lagos because of suspicion that they'd turn out just like this fellow. Imagine someone who studied Theology is involved in identity theft. What kind of Charity will he set up?

oyewolejos:
Holy than thou attitude of some Nigerian always amuse me.
As if none of them never committed an immigration offence before.

I can't imagine someone comparing Gitmo which is for terrorist suspect to an Ordinary Detention Camp.
Where the hell did Boko Haram came up here? I can't imagine people thinking from their anus.
Deportation to Boko Haram? U need to see your Doctor.

I know there are many here who are quick to jump to conclusions, who will quickly accuse you of being an illegal immigrant yourself for your spirited defense of the indefensible.

I do not fall into that category. I try to make statements backed with facts. So i will NOT accuse you of being an 'illegal' yourself.

What is clearly evident from your posts is that you are a STANDARD I.D.I.O.T.

PS: I've never committed an immigration offence before.

The HTC Touch Pro 2 and Touch HD 2 also have Ubuntu (and android!) ports fully working. Ditto for the Nexus One and a few other phones.
Check XDA-Developers for more info.

I'm not in support of olabukola's statement. I think the derision in which we hold things that were locally made is part of the reason why the local manufacturing industry is so lacklustre.
However, i wonder how many of you are going to put your money where your mouth is. How may of you saying 'nice one' will buy a car from his Auto factory?

the ongoing cholera epidemic in nigeria wasnt discussed on nairaland either.


the cnn report has been done to death in the past, with various curses rained on the religious leaders involved.

this is just a rehashing, i should think.

1. This was posted on CNN yesterday.
2. Cholera epidemic isn't man made. These are Nigerians killing and abusing Nigerians
3. Curses? Who needs curses? Action is what is needed! Instead of curses, why don't we support people like Sam who are actually trying to make a difference?

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/08/25/nigeria.child.witches/index.html?hpt=C2#fbid=3e1h7EYDlYd&wom=false

My only question is, why is the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria doing nothing about this? These rogue churches are members of that body.
Also, this isn't really news. There have been several stories on this matter. So why are we doing nothing about it?

Just did a check, i seem to have mislaid the charger and earpiece. I'll check for them but if i don't find them i'll drop the price down a bit.

And no, 20k and 23k is just too poor an offer.
