I presume you all are sober?

now, i would like someone here to point out just where Africans specifically were targeted by this man's statement. Because, it's plain that this statement

Depilot:
“The Premier League clubs are being bought as toys, they’ll have them for a few years then throw them away, that’s my view.

“These people don’t know the passion of the fans. The Premier League is a tremendous brand but I fear for the game and for the fans.”

refers to the foreign owners buying premier league clubs. that includes Abramovich, the Glazer family, the guys at Liverpool, the Dubai consortium that bought Manchester City etc. Not the Nigerians or ASouth Africans.
His point is valid, actually, considering the case of Man City and how the Thai prime minister became a liability to the club until he finally sold it off.

Why are you guys so paranoid? It's embarrassing, really.

why attach that photo?

I have no time to speak at length on this issue.
but one thing i'm dead serious about is the federal government killing Ateke Tom. Retribution must visit this monster.

The kid gloves are off from here on in.

Obama spoke the truth. Thousands of Nigerians send a staggerign volume of email messages to the US. There's no one in any doubt what the metaphor 'Nigerian email' means. And all some people can do is to act as if they have been insulted.

No you're not! Obama spoke the truth. Many Nigerians are out there killing our name, and instead of sitting down to join in efforts to kill this scourge, all you can do is spew misdirected bile on an online forum.

It's every candidate's job to take a tough line against threats to his nation. if Obama and Mc Cain can spit accusations at Iran and Russia (two countries that are WAY greater than Nigeria), why rail at an off-hand statement?

This is the scourge that destroys this country. A recent opinion poll on nairaland showed that only 10% here were inclined to pay taxes. Yet these same people feel that they best show their patriotism by painting a rosy picture of a comatose country. How would your country improve if you keep glossing over the cracks?

BigB1, if you feel truly offended by this statement, gather a few Nigerians that feel like you, go to Lagos, raid several cyber cafes and make citizens arrest of any 419 person you find there. That is a whole lot more productive and patriotic than you trying out this whitewash job.

Go read your history and see what it means to be a patriot. check out examples of people who fixed their own country instead of waiting for help from abroad. What you're doing has NOTHING to do with patriotism. It's self-denial, and it's dangerous in the extreme.

Obama wasn't the one that kept me waiting at Schipol airport in Amsterdam for over one our. It was the Negative impression the dutch police had about Nigerians, even when i was the one that approached them to correct a minor discrepancy.
Now guess which country's citizens put that distrust, that suspicion there. No prizes, though, it's a no-brainer.

PS: I pay millions in taxes yearly, all my utility bills are paid promptly. Check out the 'Paying Taxes' thread and see how many Nigerians are willing to match me in this.

It pains me to conclude that this fellow must be jesting.

I mean, why lament that English is our common language? Why even attempt to re-inforce the tribal and ethnic divides that splits us?

It's not his fault that Nigerians are stupid enough to let tribalism divide us.

Nice work you're doing here. Not sure how long you can keep this up, but i'm pretty sure i speak for many when i say your efforts are appreciated

adconline:
only in Nigeria is where WEAC administrators are not held accountable. How could you survive in business if you incure 83% loss? Imagine living a life where you have 83% failure. I remember some of my professors saying that nobody has ever scored an "A" in their courses. Its only In Nigeria where we don't think about consequences of our actions. I asked one of my profs " if nobody gets an A in your course, do you expect your kids or grand kids to be taught by smart foks or "dummies" who got out of the system with " let my people go grades" C's and D's. That's why is so freaking hard to let PhD students graduate in Naija because their Profs wont let them.

My Guy, WAEC = examiners, not teachers. Stop blaming them and focus your anger at the students and teachers

It's for PSP, so the first thing you should do is google for information on a PSP emulator.

As far as i know, there's none that can play commercial games yet, but i may be wrong. google is your friend!

lol
darefestus just got pwned!

Not sure what i can do from here, but it's worth a shot to upgrade to 2.1 and quickpwn, just in case it's a software issue.

Ex Inferis may be able to give better advice. . .

As usual we're fed the 'don't speak anything against the man of God' line as reason for us to keep quiet.

I wonder why no one raised any noise when Rev King was arrested and sentenced to death. Wasn't he also supposed to be a 'man of God'? All we saw was unanimous condemnation.

Guess it helps to be charismatic, eh?

i know how funny or awful anyone can find this but its real and i need some substantial opinion,when i say substantial i mean opinion that hold waters.i had a serious problem with my b\f,which was authomatically his fault[he lied to me about something]i had to find out by myself and i could not get hold of myself,so i had to stay on my own for some time.for the fact that i love this guy,he came back and asked me to 4give him which i did not hesitate to do.like two days after we settled i got the worst story from him,he told me he had sex with smone while we were apart.i was heartbrokenbut its hard for me to leave him cus i love him so much.so all i need is to know ur own opinion and how to forgive
him,though he promised such will never occur again.

Kudos to you.
When will women realise that the 'stay apart' and 'deny him sex' trick almost always backfires?

Divorce courts are full of women who decided to punish their husbands by denying them sexual gratification for a month. Such women start panicking when the Husband after 2 weeks of begging suddenly stops begging, after finding a more favourable haven in another (smarter) woman's arms.

I'm not going to condone his act of cheating on you, but still. . .

poshangel:
,only few men are true and

You'd be surprised how many men say the same thing about women.

@Wendy
What's your YIM handle? Mine is texazzpete.

I hope these guys extend the law to punish Banks when their ATMs debit users accounts, yet fail to dispense cash.

In such a case, the banks should be made to pay a severe penalty.

Here's the thing Nigerians don't get;

If i'm in China or any other no-nonsense communist country and a security officer asks me for my passport, i'll produce it at once. why was there the need for an argument in the first place?

His death is regrettable, but it was also avoidable. Simple as that.

Press play tests of the game reveal that the thing is still far behind FIFA when it comes to graphics.

lluckily, the gameplay is said to have been improved from pes2008

I think the connection or broadband You are using is not that fast enough. I think You should get the V-SAT cus that luks better than all broadband connections in the country. As a matter of fact I have been using the V-SAT for quite some time now and its very fast. You can get it for about 50,000 depending on ur motive for using it. They come in different packages of subsciption, so that will enable You know what kind of connection you want. As 4 me, am using the one of 50000 naira subscription and monthly payment of 20,000 naira. You can get the V-SAT in Lagos. One other thing, before choosing a broadband I strongly suggest that You consult someone who knows more about the speed and durability of each broadband.
X-BOX 360 YOU ROCK!

Could we possibly meet? I'm trying to get broadband connection in my house, and i'd llik to check out your connection and provider. I'm in PH by the way.

Look through my posts and you'll find that i'm no killer/rapist/drug dealer/thug.

FOOLISH THREAD
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP AM LOOKING FOR MY GREAT GRAND UNCLE
[sub][/sub]HISSES

looking for your great grand uncle on a dating thread?

Weird!

9 pages long and still no resolution.

Can i inject some reason into this and implore all sellers to TRY and provide VINs for each vehicle they put on sale?
Everyone is trying to get a good deal here, so it doesn't hurt to provide some background checks on the vehicle prior to purchase.

I hope at the end of this we know who to trust or not. Yesterday i was referring people to Nairaland to buy vehicles. . .it's difficult to accuse some popular sellers of fraud when they sell so many vehicles and there are so few complaints.

Here's hoping the honest vehicle sellers come out of this with clean hands, because we need all of you guys to provide vehicles for us at below market prices.

This is a Nigerian forum. No Tmobile is Nigeria, headless chicken.

unintelligent troll.

davidif:
anybody pretending that this doesn't happen is lying or in denial.

It happens, but it's a far cry from the 80% figure used by the original poster.

Plus, it has NOTHING to do with politics

Jakumo:
Historically Nigerian banks have defrauded customers by phucking with their account balances and taking the cash home in duffel bags at closing time, so it stands to reason that customers should be encouraged to phuck as many banking officials as possible in order to at least derive some tangible measure of pleasure from the process of being bankrupted.

As usual, you crack me up!

femzy:
of course it will sell but i am speaking generally.This a mobile that poses no probs to the Blackberry;not even to talk about the Apple iphone.
Lets see how it goes anyway.

This phone is not the revolution. The OS (Android) is. The phone doesn't have to sell that well, there will be hundreds of phones running android in the near future. Good phones, smart phones, crappy phones. . .

And since Android is open source, i'm pretty sure even China phones will trend to Android sooner or later. That's a thought!

femzy:
The first in product in a line of series usually don't do well.Imagine she excludes the video recording feature.I don't think she will do well in the market.Of course people would rather not buy what they don't need.Maybe pricing might help her.

The Android OS is pioneered by Google. Do you really think Google has any problems advertising one of their flagship products?

THis will sell decently, i suspect.
Not everyone needs video recording. and i strongly suspect that video recording can be added via software update. The hardware's already there.

No one should be asking what Android is at this stage.

get your noses out of Nokia's arse and breathe the air of freedom.

Watch Android eclipse Symbian in 2009.

Mustay:
GSM ARENA

I do not think I can cope with its limitations - video recording!!!

it's the first android phone. there will be other, far better devices out this year.

pc guru:
i didnt mean to open 2 forums am using my phone that must have caused the problems.also i was hoping someone would add that n95 has a 3dchip so does iphone. I actually meant to compare them as a console.thanx femzy.ngage failed because it was viewed as a gaming console with phone functions. But ngage 2.0 is more of a software for s60phones which i feel will beat iphone(prayer). Check out one whos next an ngage 2.0 game.

the N95 is not the only Ngage 2.0phone. Most phones in the Ngage class do not have the 3d chip. as a result, most devs will not cater to the gamers with the 3d chips.
The N81 is Nokia's flagship gaming phone, and it doesn't have a 3D chip. hell, even the N96 doesn't have the chip too.


That said, amazing visuals can still be pumped out via software alone, so don't fret.

The thing is, the iPhone's Appstore has already eclipsed the Ngage store. Far more apps, easier to get into and with lots of free games too . Developers stand to make far more money on the Appstore than the Ngage platform, so expect all the quality franchises to head one way. . .

This is a mild upgrade to the PSP. It's so not worth the extra money if you already have a PSP. Let's face it; anyone who wanted a PSP woulda got one by now.

You just had to make it a sticky, didn't you?

THE PROSTITUTION IN THE NIGERIAN BANKING SECTOR.Do you know that it has really come to exposure that 80% female bankers in Nigeria are into prostitution,yes they are prostitutes by condition and not by choice,These scandal has rock the entire financial homes in Nigeria due to the development of corruptions in the bank industries,the pillar of these scandals is the managers of all these banks,these situation have really send some many girls to hell,these situation have really split alot of families,these situation have really victimise alot of souls this is why iam publishing these issue so that it will stop.Do you know that today in Nigeria females are been employed in the banks because of their beauty and not by the qualification's. .
TTo know more about these useful information go to my websites
www.themarshalwebs..com www.thepillarnewswatch..com

pretty stupid, isn't it, to recklessly generalize. It's an insult to every clean female banker out there that you insinuate that the vast majority of them got there by sexual favours.
It exists, but it's nowhere near an apocalyptic case as you paint it to be, and talk like this is demeaning to decent females in the banking sector.

Here's the deal.
This is a games forum, so let the games on the N95 and the iPhone do the talking.

Ngage 2.0 vs Appstore!

Images from me tommorrow
