So are they gonna amputate the guy's hand or what?
Because any less will be unacceptable! We all know the Sharia punishment for stealing!

KRS ONE- You're feeling, you're hearing, You're smelling it just wait and see. I don't care how you Fashola zombies take this, but wait and see. It's all going to be like kabooom. There are tons of mosques in Lagos that are in the wrong corners of Lagos and god knows when they are done using that water they use in cleaning their bodies, they leave a stagnant water and mosquitoes love that. He's a Muslim people, he can't do that to mosques in Lagos. Just wait and see. If you have any land in Lagos, go and register it properly now and if the government needs it, they should rent it not take it away from you or buy it from you. Gullible people una never start. The land belong to the people and if the government needs it for any reason, they should rent it not buy it. This isn't America, this is a native land America is built with by immigration therefore only the government have power over land distribution the people doesn't.

I'm a Christian too - and i say you're full of shit. Bloody bigot!

@poster
There's no call to post such photos in a public forum where anyone can see them. You should have linked to them with a disclaimer as to the sensitive nature of the photos. What an idiot you truly are.

None of those scenes of carnage are occurring today, so bringing them up is pretty daft.
Biafra does not exist, and most Igbos have moved on. Not everyone's life revolves around political posts and Igbos around Nigeria are doing pretty well, excelling in most of the things that really matter.
The wounds of the past should be left to heal - I wonder if you know that your stupid doctrine of hate marks you as a monster in the mould of those people you're quick to point accusing fingers at.
That said, I'll be reportng these pics to the moderator.

Ibime:
Nah. . . . I agree with the guy. . . . why should he trust some politician not to steal the N200bn going by antecedents?. . . . . perhaps it would be better if they just shared the money amongst the people like they do in Ireland, Qatar, Alaska etc.

The key words is 'projects'. As long as they have been named and budget has been publicly announced for them, they'll likely get done. Or at least you guys can scream blue murder if they haven't been done.

N200 billion seems like a huge sum to that guy. But let's assume there are 10 million people in ND. That comes to 20,000 per head

Anyone who is willing to give up the possibility of those projects being executed for just N20k needs to re-evaluate his priorities.

[quote author=Aloy~Emeka link=topic=344361.msg4819573#msg4819573 date=1256769592]That shows we are well equipped military wise in Nigeria to combat foreign enemies. How did they get these weapons?. No wonder the police is afraid of them. [/quote]Ak-47s, 1960s RPG-7s and WW2 era machine guns are what you're calling 'well equipped'?!

Thank God you're not affiliated with our Defense department.

Hmm. So even youths for Kogi dey surrender arms? The police should round them up for armed robbery ASAP!

That Police commissioner is just a retard! Why start pointing accusing fingers at politicians when he his yet to obtain any solid lead on the kidnap perpetrators? And why point fingers at the rally? Is it against the law to publicly express dissaproval about someone's personality?

As long as he cannot establish that someone made a threat during the rally/meeting, he should hold his tongue.

bigmodo:
it will be better if that money is shared among all citizens of niger delta. it will be more better that way.

NSNA:
I agree, it will be better if they share the money amongst the people of the state,
Afterall Qatar gives oil money directly to its citizens

We're talking about sustainable development that will improve the lot of ND people for generations to come and all you can think about is short term share of the national cake?

I've learnt how so many Nigerians are so fixated on hatred, ethnic bias and the past that we will not move forward.
That's the most enduring lesson of the 'Politics' section.

Alxmyr:
What is there to interrogate?

Another wasteful of lives in the name of service.

May their soul rest in peace.

so everyone who dies in Nigeria from an accident is another 'waste of life in the name of Nigeria' eh?
This could have happened anywhere. I know some of you dislike the concept and existence of NYSC but you don't have to blame the programme for everything!

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=343984.msg4821298#msg4821298 date=1256808283]Cnn will never tell africa that there is poverty,malaria,corruption,hiv,slum in the west,,;[/quote]Actually, they do.
What you people fail to realise is that bad news sells more than good news. And Africa provides a steady stream of bad news. Even on slow news days, there's always room for documentaries et al on African poverty etc.
However, to say CNN does not show any issues with the West is pure bullcrap. It wasn't from AIT that we saw info on the Columbine massacre, hurrican katrina, wildfires in california, poverty in new orleans, Clinton's perjury trial, the Abu Ghraib abuses, allegations of Karzai's brother working for the CIA etc.

And just for your education, malaria is pretty much a non-issue in the west. They've been running features on the increase in HIV in Russia. How do you expect them to focus on HIV in the West when the HIV prevalence in Africa is exponentially higher?

aisha , i want to do more to help in the future. I've always wanted to do charity work. I'll get in touch with ya soon.

Thanks for the effort for Benjamin.

samnaija:
i dont believe the story, someone is just tryin to ridicle xtianity. u can try but u wont suceed,

And i suppose the reports of innocent children being killed and tortured in Eket in the name of Christianity are also merely 'stories intended to ridicule christianity'? Is that how you and your pastor justify being such bad christians as to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to these reports?

Olong:
I pity all of you loud mouthed sinners that see God's word as constituting a nuisance value.God's word is invaluable and the only reason our world hasn't swallowed its inhabitants!The said preacher's approach could be wrong;however the views expressed here by most of you depict your disdain for preachers and preaching.It wouldn't change nothing though,thank goodness.But i cant figure out you people's standing with God.DO YOU PEOPLE EVEN KNOW THAT JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS,and will one day require an account of your life from you in death?

Jesus Himself insisted we render unto Ceaser what belonged to Ceaser. You must show respect for people and constituted authority. Would you appreciate it if an Ogun worshipper came outside your window every night singing his ritual songs? Would you appreciate a masquerade entering your bus and insisting on steps you must take to be saved?

In my opinion, all these preachers that put churches and hold noisy night vigils in residential areas should be apprehended and punished.
As for me, i still keep a baseball bat near my bed. There's a guy that comes every couple of months to preach the Gospel at 2 am with a megaphone in residential areas on a work day. The last time he did it on wednesday night and i was useless at work the next day. Both I and my gateman have drawn up plans to severel beat the fellow next time he tries this again!

Doubting Thomases,

Although this thread is not about me, let me however confirm that yes, I am indeed a Faculty of a university in the US (name witheld). I am tempted to expose who I am in real life but I will refrain from doing so in this forum. Thusly, please do not ask for the name of my institution, or my real names; I will not give those out for strategic reasons. I guess it is always wise to remain anonymous so one can voice their opinion the way they deem fit without recourse to phoney diplomacy. Holding a PhD (Magna Cum Laude) in Biological Engineering is not akara.

So what good are your fancy degrees if you display the intellectual prowess of a gnat?
The more you promote your degrees, the more they seem out of sync with the dumbass statements you make on Nairaland.
let me dabble in amateur psychoanalysis - did someone drop you on the head when you were a baby?

@ tex

bros how far,  where is yur WEI score??


@ oyb

actually tex is right. direct x11 gpus are not due till next year

although i hear a rumor about an ati gpu Radeon 5000 series

which is direct x11 compartiable

just looked at yur specs now, you are not running a 64bit OS, how come?? a full bros like you

my WEI? On my ancient VAIO FE 21m 1.66 Ghz Core Duo and the ancient Geforce Go 7600?
I think not. It was cutting edge way back in 2006 when i bought it (i even bragged about it on NL) but not anymore

I keep holding off on a new laptop because i always keep waiting for something just around the corner. For example i waited 3 months now for the Core i7 and Windows 7. I'll get a new lappie next month and then come out swinging!

The Radeon 5xxx series should hit next year on mobile.

oyb:
i know - big grr - core i7 was not available as a spec when i ordered

it seems there are now directx11 capable cards for that matter

on the plus side, it appears that with modern mobile workstations , you can actually swap graphics cards , and processors - though its a little more difficult than your regular ram/hard disk swap/upgrade

lol. Ok, i see.
No Dx 11 mobile GPUs out at the moment until next year.

I'm tempted to spring for the HP Envy 15, but the lack of internal optical drive is making the decision harder for me. I mean i hardly ever use the one in my laptop, but it may just be a good thing to have it there.

PDP SOUTH WEST =Yoruba=support for Bode
Afenifere renewal group= Yoruba= no support for Bode
Verdict= 50:50 support by Yoruba population?

You say you're a 'faculty member' of a foreign University and you shamelessly trot out such shoddy logic?
slowpoke.

@Vacora
PS3 already has playTV . . .
playTV > Skytv

Word of advice. Try to know what you're talking about before you mouth off, ok?

PlayTV = DVB-T peripheral + software to watch freeview on PS3.
SkyTV = zero peripheral, watch skyTv subscription on xbox 360 over broadband internet.

Every tribe has its share of thieves - and there are no shortage of sycophants to welcome them.

Orji Kalu stole billions, and he remained a hero among thousands of his tribesmen, even with the festering Aba rubbish heaps. is that any less repugnant than the Bode George case?
Do i even go into the amount of support Chris and Andy Uba can muster up in their nefarious deeds?
If we're creating a Nigerian rogues gallery, do you think Arthur Nzeribe will not also share the same pedestal of villainy that Bode George occupies?

Alams stole N50 billion - and was welcomed home by a huge throng of the very same people whose money he looted. Is that any better?

Greed is a common human failing and it is not restricted to just one tribe.

chosen04:
All boils down that Gov. Peter Obi's government cannot Safe guard lives and Properties in Anambra State.

I actually do think that this is an extremely silly point of view aimed at discrediting the Governor. What do you expect him to do in the face of overwhelming greed in Nigerian youths that makes them embrace get-righ-quick vices like kidnapping?

Providing jobs will not solve the problem. How many jobs can he provide to those youths that will make them leave a life of crime and quick money?

Chris Uba : you talking to me, you talking me
Soludo : Yeah, whatcha gonna do about it
Chris Uba : I am gonna make you an offer you can't refuse
Soludo : You not gonna do nothing bitch, capisce?
Chris Uba : I'm gonna kill your father, mother, all your kids, I'm gonna dig up your grandparents bodies from their graves and kill them again

And that's what's happening!

oyb:
this is my config today

i am thinking of stickying this thread so i can do shakara - all things being equal, thre weeks from now, i will get my new laptop, a thinkpad w700 with a 2.8ghz core2duo, a solidstae 80gb hard drive and a 7200rpm 500gb drive - and i will add a third 500gb 5400rpm drive to the ultra bay, a 1gb nvidia quadro fx3700M card, 4gb ddr3 ram

My 2 cents
Spring for a core i7 processor instead if you haven't ordered the lappie, cut down a bit on the expenditures on the HDD and up the RAM count instead.

still a monster rig at the moment, though

ballababy:
@texazzpete are u interested in buying or not?

Depends if you sell at a reasonable price.

The PS3 slim is designed to be smaller, lighter and cheaper than the older PS3s. The fact that it has a 120 GB hard disk is meaningless as harddisk prices are pretty low.

Pro Anti:
6000MW by year end 2009.
11000MW by year end 2010.
100000MW by 2020.

U'll be so shocked!!

You'll be so dissapointed!!

ballababy:
@beachland u dont seem serious a buyer,put a call tru and lets see aw lower the price can go.
@texazzpete ure wrong with that price cos a brand new 120gig psp slim goes for $469,do the conversion and u'll understand why the price is "outrageous".

Speak of things you know about, amigo. The PS3 slim comes in only the 120Gb flavour for now, and it's sold for $299. it was released at $299, it's ALWAYS been $299 and it will stay at $299 for a while to come.

$299 x 155 = N46365

Even adding 20k as profit, it still comes down to N66,000.

So yes, your price is outrageous.

Despite all the changing evidence, you're still out there shamelessly fronting for Sanusi. He told us that some of the banks have more than 75% bad debts, now we know that most of those debts are by the goverment or petrol importers who are being heavily owed money by the same goverment. You're not at all embarrased by this inaccuracy

Here's another challenge for you. Using the CBN debtors' list, show us how 'most of these debts are owed by the Government'.
The fuel importers have accepted that the Government owes them N46 billion. As i've said before, these importers in turn owe the banks over 400 billion naira. Even one as intellectually challenged as yourself can see the clear difference between N46 billion and N400+ billion.

But we digress! it is no business of the CBN Governor or even the bankers if the Government pays or not. If i take a loan from a bank, it is not a matter of concern of my banking officer that my salary gets paid or that i sell my car. All bankers should care about is the loan being serviced as agreed upon.
Without adequate collateral, there's little or nothing the banks can do but to wring their hands in dismay.

I recap. For sanusi and the shareholders in the bank, it does not matter how you get the damn money. Loans should be serviced and loans of that magnitude should have been backed up with sufficient collateral. Naturally, your precious bank CEOs turned the other way.

As Obama used to say about John McCain, "You just don't get it"!

naijaking1:
Ibime, welcome back!
Bye the way, what DEATH?
Have you stooped so low as to have texazzpete interprete written english for you now?
I challenge you to a "reading comprenhsion exam" any day.
You can diddle and doodle about one sentence in the whole article all you want, but please sit down, put on your eye glasses, and read the whole article.
You can do better, I know it. You can do better than texazzpete.

An amusing but unnecessary diversion.
I do love throwing facts in your face. And as Ibime has also pointed out, your post title is plain wrong.
The benign interpretation is that you struggle with written English. The only other possible explanation is that you deliberately set out to mislead the general public into joining your insidious campaign of calumny against SLS.
I've thrown down the gauntlet; you accused Sanusi of being vindictive and schizophrenic. Where is the proof to back up your arguments?
Explain those words instead of trying to cast up diversions.

PS: Instead of challenging Ibime to re-read the article, kindly show us where it says in the article that the fuel debtors are off the CBN list.

aisha2:
I could give the Author of this thread a very hot kiss

LOL.
Didn't know you were a united fan too.

One RPG round to the tires = one crippled APC.
Then one Molotov Cocktail to the APC = very dead personnel

Works every time.

PS3 slim is $299. That's less than 50k. Selling it for 80k is outrageous.

As the topic implies. Does anyone have a wireless router compatible with Starcomms EVDO USB modems for sale? Compatibility with 3G HSDPA modems will also be an added advantage!
