Kobojunkie: Finally, someone who is reading my mind. There are so many ABANDONED women out there today that need the help of these elders to deal with what has resulted from their being sold to the men they ended up with. The issue of the RIGHTS of these women needs to be dealt with. Not how much more or less we can settle with when selling them.

bashr8: your father decides who gets what, it has nothing to do with culture or elders. i know lots of igbo women that inherited a lot from their father, besides theres an igbo tradition called idunno , when you marry your family gives you properties, share of inheritance etc depending on how wealthy they are, my sisters got plots of land, houses, cars etc and they are direct heirs to my mums properties most of which she inherited from her mother and father and some she earned during within her marriage with my dad so stop this your cries and talk to your father about it.

no igbo man watches his daughter suffer in her marriage unless he is poor or a saddist or they warned you not to marry the man and you disobeyed them and went ahead.

Ebucca: This is a true life experience and i want you all to open your mind and read it carefully please moderator i want this on the front page. On the 10th of August 2012, at about 6:28 pm i was inside my dad's room after i have finished eating with my mom. I decided to lie down 'cos i was feeling weak due to my sickness. As i was about to sleep, a voice woke me up and asked me to pray for the world (which i haven't done before) my family and friends. After the prayer, the same voice asked me to read Psalm 100 i was reading the short verse before i noticed myself sleeping.

Brethren believe me this is not a joke, Heaven is a home for all, it is a very beautiful place with green grasses, the waters sparkles as if they have little stars in them everywhere smells like a rose flower, it is a place where everything is free, you can understand the language of all the creatures too. I thank God for making me to witness the place he has prepared for mankind. Our living here is just for a while, forget about how many years you have lived on earth, in the realm of The Most High God, there is no pastense nor future but present only.
So live your life as if everyday is going to be your last day. Always be in the state of grace because you don't know when death will knock on your door. Do not be afraid of death because it is a gift given to us by The Most High God and it is inevitable.

These are seven things you must do to build up your relationship with The Most High God
1. is your accumulation of worship and praise to God.
2 your time spent reading the bible.
3. your time spent praying.
4. your time spent evangelizing to people.
5. your offering to the Lord.
6. your obedient tithes to God.
7. your time spent serving the church in any way.

Those that have ears, let them hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying. He said "Behold i come quickly" which means you can die at any moment. Glory, Honor, Power and Might be unto The Most High God. Amen.

- King Iphy Osteen IV.

rokiatu: Damn you went hard.

madridsta007: The name London, is like a brand... Albeit, a dwindling one, I must admit. People come here not because that they can not get what they want in their home countries or other countries of the world, but just because of the hype, 'I have been to London'. And the government then milks people through taxes, they simply tax anything taxable and non-taxable. From the airports, to schools, to councils, to train and bus tickets, to goods and services. Like someone earlier said, it is a multiplier effect as the landlords, the small Indian-own shops, the phone providers etc, make sure the consumer bear a brunt of the taxes. Very soon, we shall soon, I foresee in the future that the air we breath, we would soon be taxed of it.

It is a brand that the government uses effectively. Trust me, the city London is so over-hyped. Travel across countries and you will slowly have a apartheid-like detest for London. However, people are slowly moving away from the attraction and hype that is 'London' hence, the fall down the rankings as in the most-expensive cities list.

krap: Nigerian Politicians Are Very Insane, They Kill Dreams – Richard Branson

Thanks for bringing this news on here!

Another foreigner unveiling the evils of Nigerian politicians - God will vindicate his people one day.

Nigerians, when will you all, RISE UP and drive these politicians (past and present) that have ruined our country out, when? Men of other countries are busy cleaning up their country - Egypt, Libya, Syria etc are all on it and you are all sitting there, waiting for who to do it for you?

Imagine 50 yrs +, they say, we are still developing and I ask, when will we ever stop developing and be developed?

This story not only confirmed but threw serious light, on why Nigeria at this rate will never, ever develop.

Imagine the level of bribery that drove a conglomerate out and thus, made way for the new private Airlines we have today that are never up to standards, never maintained and killing people? And, when the level of bribery is this high - which conglomerate would want to waste their time and money investing in Nigeria and create the ever needed jobs for the poor and young people?

Now we have private Airlines, secretly owned by these thieving politicians, running on our tarmacs when our own National pride - Nigerian Airways is dead almost 25 yrs ago - how could this be right? No wonder they killed it, in order to float theirs, which they bought with our money - what a country

This is why Nigerians up and down the country must 'RISE UP' against these thieves that have no shame, drive them out of our country and put in place a constitution whereby them and their families will never step foot into our country again because, they don't love Nigeria and its people.

Now, we all can see why Nigerian Airways collapsed and varnished from thin air. An i d i o t was here last week, defending the collapse and blaming it on not being 'cost effective' and now, we know it was only cost effective in politicians pockets.

Nigerian was not the only country in the 1980's running a National Airline - UK, America, Spain, Germany, France, South Africa, Kenya and Ethiopia were all there and still are as we argue over this, now.

Instead of blaming themselves for laziness, lack of foresight/intelligence, business skills and competitive spirit as the others, they have bundles of excuses to give, just as the Bible declares, "The sluggard says, There is a lion outside or, I will be murdered in the streets" Proverbs Chpt.22 v.13. They are lazy in the brains compared to other leaders of this world, that's the problem!

Competition does you good, everyone knows it! It not only brings prices down, it also empowers the consumer with lots of choices and quality service thus dictating the course of the market - what is wrong with that principle?

That brings me to the issue of Dangote Industries having Exclusive Rights to supply Nigerian Market and I ask, why should one man alone, supply 160,000000 million adult Nigerians with essential goods when other companies could and should compete alongside him in that market so that prices are not only brought down for poor Nigerians but also more job could be created?

These leaders just want to stifle Nigerians and keep us under bondage forever, na lie for them - time will come when Nigerians will wake up to their realities and chase these evil men out of our country for good and never, to return to our country again!

Imagine, the way they'd ruined our country, and Nigerians are all over the world looking for opportunities to survive at all cost - you only have to look at the number of Nigerian thrown out of Libya yet, Nigerian government did nothing to rescue their own people or even put in place relief for them to get home - what a shame!!

Nigerian leaders (Past and present) do not like us therefore, do not deserve to live in our country and, why must we spare them on our soil if they could do things like this without a thought for their own people? It is so painful!!

When I look at the excuses of that son of an evil politician and his supporters who should know better, and considering some of them lived abroad where they had the opportunity to break out of suffering and poverty and now, had returned home with their investments intact, living well in Nigeria when they wouldn't have done so if they'd remained in Nigerian all their lives, with the likes of Dangote spreading out and controlling everywhere.

By supporting this politicians son's argument, about Nigerian's lack of development, I feel disgustingly sick about them. But then, when one analyze the degree of intelligence in their comments it does not surprise me.

They claim the thief's son was able to substantiate his arguments with evidence and I ask, what evidence? An evidenced-based research statistics or a press report or what?

Personally, I do not have to bother about going to back up my own arguments with research because, there are lots that would provoke me the more, if I dig in there but why would I, when I have as many as 160,000000 Nigerian adults as witness - enough evidence for any courts in the world.

Yes, that thief was able to convince the low-minds and made you all believe that the White man is to blame for the ills of our country and not Nigerian leaders (past and present) despite that, you lot went to a White man's country and made your fortunes - if the White man was that bad, why did you have to escape to their country, for your future?

At least, they gave you opportunity in their own country and I query, why shouldn't Nigerians have same opportunities in their own country and, what opportunities did the leaders you support create for you, talk of your children's future?

You are all here secretly supporting these thieves because of your own evil motives - seeking contracts from evil government officials and wanting to make us believe you are in support of the people, when you have a lot in common with the thieves, themselves and I leave you with this,

"He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth, and he who gives gifts to the rich both comes to poverty", Proverb Chapt. 22 v. 16 - watch it one day it will happen! This is why, Nigeria will remain a developing country for the next 300yrs, as that son of a thief declared on that thread, last week.

Finally, chew on this, continue with your evil ways and forget that, a man can die and all he acquired perish at a flash - there is a man call God Almighty, and he will fight for the poor one day - good luck!

ROSSIKE: Blah blah blah...... Madam. please kindly spare us your irritating noise and don't expect for one second that using upper case letters makes you sound any less stu.pid than the others who have posted their rubbish here. You're talking of things like power shortage and so on. Only an ILL EXPOSED BUFFOON thinks Nigeria is the onlyt place on earth with power cuts. India, Brazil, Jamaica, Venezuela, Thailand etc all suffer power cuts. If you don't believe me, simply Google those countries 'names and type 'power cuts' after them, and see all the evidence for yourself.

Your problem is that you are not excposed. You think the countries you're comparing Nigeria to, USA, Germany, UK, were built in 40 or 50 years? Did it not take several centuries of independence for those nations to become fully developed? YET YOUR LAZY, DUNCE SELF expects Nigeria to turn into El Dorado within 50 years of independence, and if not we will not hear word again? We will not celebrate the strides we've made again? PLEASE PACK YOUR THINGS AND GET OUT OF NIGERIA IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE IT. WE SHALL PROGRESS AT OUR OWN PACE. WE DO NOT NEED YOU AND YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED.

Hey, hey, Mr Well Exposed! Is that the best you can do?

So, these are your model countries - pity! You can do better!

Stop taking Nigeria 2 hundred years behind enemy lines as we will all perish, if these are the countries you model Nigeria on - disappear from my face you sluggard brain and backward thinker!

India, Brazil, Jamaica, Venezuela, Thailand are your supper countries, eh! Even as third world and emerging markets as these countries, you're trying to rank Nigeria with are, can Nigeria ever compare?

Aside, Venezuela that is more than developed from oil money compared to Nigeria at this stage, and given the achievements of these countries past and present rulers - what did Nigeria do with its own oil money - coward?

Ah! But India had no oil, Jamaica none either and what of Thailand, mugu? Yet, they were able to develop their countries to the best of their abilities and how about Nigeria with her massive oil production? I think you want to compare them, when you placed Nigeria in their category. How dare you insult them??

These people have their own well trained Doctors, Engineers, Economist, Scientists etc who can compete on the world market and win billions of Dollars contracts abroad for their own governments and countries and bring, the money home, unlike your Nigeria thieves that take our money away abroad - that's the difference, if you don't know!

Now sluggard, I ask again, how many of the above, have Nigeria?? Where can Nigeria see the back of these countries you listed here, in competition? You are here trashing mouth about something you are ignorant of.

I ask again, how much foreign contracts do Nigerian Engineers and Scientist win for us abroad and bring the money home? Show us??

Instead, money that should be invested in these important sectors in our society to develop our own Engineers, Scientists etc or even to smarten our Universities to enable them raise these important people in society, are stolen by your leaders and hid away in foreign pots thus, leaving the country bare and vulnerable and you are here defending your 50yrs El Dorado. That's how I feel about you, and people like you and more!

Imagine, Nigeria has been crippled by these thieves to an extent, she can not even boast of it's own 'National Airline - not even one, no modern Fighter Jets/bombers and our Nigerian Navy, is a broken man' and you have the gut to vomit shit here. Shame on you - you are a disgrace to this nation.

When did I hear about Nigerian Airways last? As far back as 1985 and that was my last flight on it to Nigeria even then, I swore never again because of the state of it - you're a disgrace!!

Yes, it's now obvious to you, that Nigeria couldn't compete on development, with these your model countries. At least, she can compete on corruption, power cuts, political assassinations, undeveloped educational system evident on the recent ban by British General Medical Council (GMC)on your so called qualified doctors. Banning them from taken up training in the Uk and other Western countries are watching them because, they lack basic medical skills - what a shame!

And, how about the 'River Niger pot-holes' on your so called Express Roads up and down the country.huh!

And, your General Hospitals? Don't even mention those mortuaries, please!!

Yet, when their children/families feel sick they are the first to rush them abroad for treatments and pay foreign fee, with our money but, who rush Nigerian sick children abroad for treatment, I ask??

God will reward every one of you that has stolen or received stolen Nigerian money thereby, forcing our country on its knees and making her vulnerable this way, in Jesus Name, Amen!!!

Again, I hear you say El Dorado within 50 years as if it's impossible.

Now I can see, you are not only blind but also, have some neurological deficits - some connective tissues/cells are not really, synchronizing in your head, at all - badly wired and I don't blame you, but nature!

Now, let's talk about this El Dorado that you mentioned on here. Because, you have small mind - you are a small thinker, frightened little mice, scared to take a giant leap in case, it break its limbs - everything seems to you an impossibility. You're a small minded man - get off, here!!

You see, those thieves - you call your past and present leaders who had led Nigeria to oblivion now, and for the sake of Nigeria, if they'd left out oil money alone, in this past 50 year, mumu - can't you see, Nigeria would have reached her El Dorado - her promised land, eh?

I promise you, at least, no Nigeria would have been living abroad now because, Nigerians never used to go and stay long abroad let alone to live there permanently. Because, of what these thieves have done to our country that's why Nigerians are every where in this planet including North/South poles respectively, seeking greener pastures - how shameful!

So, your El Dorado would have been a possibility some 30yrs after Independence - if they've left our money alone. Based on your thinking, and with these kind of leaders you have in place and those in queues, waiting to take their turns in destroying our country, even in her 100th Anniversary, you will still give me the same crap excuses, sluggard!

But then, the countries you are categorizing Nigeria with, have not got as much natural resources as Nigeria. India, has no oil, yet they are able to call on their Human Resources and out perform Nigeria, in every strata because, Indian leaders are smart - from Mahatma Gandhi to their present leader, are smart guys with foresight besides, they love their country from the bottom of their hearts - do your leaders?

What your leaders are good at - is only embezzling their hearts off and out of their wickedness, and you are here to defend the indefensible when you should get out of that couch and chase them out of our country for the sake of future generation - and never to come back again as long as Nigeria exist - that's what all of you sluggards should do.

That's what you should do mugu, and stop defending nonsense!

With your attitude, I'm sure, you have connections to these thieves otherwise, you won't be here vomiting bile and I don't blame you. How could I, when every Nigerian little boy in school have nothing else to think about or engage his mind on, other than how he could make it to Aso Rock and embezzle more of his own. Tell me, what hope have Nigeria if her young people are thinking this way?

So you can see, at this rate and as I said above, Nigeria can not make your El Dorado even in 300yrs - there is no hope.

Yes, United Kingdom, America, Germany were not built in 40 - 100yrs and they had their own corruption but I ask, 'sluggard' were humans beings not created the same day? Were they not given the same brain cells - brains to think out good ideas for their own benefits instead of corrupt ideas?

Certainly, sluggards will always have quantum excuses, for their under performance and lacking in ability to achieving targets set for him - they blame the White man.

Keep blaming the White man!

Yes, corruption is a human thing and the White man is not an exception - yet, they love their Country and have compassion for their own people. Despite their corrupt way, they were able to establish efficient systems favourable to the poor in society - e.g. efficient Health system, free education, Welfare system, good Air, Road and Sea logistics etc and I ask, how many of these can you boast of, in Nigeria? Name them!!!

Yet, White man is not corruption free, is he?

Nigerian has been independent for over 52yrs, now. A man born 50yrs ago, is nearing the age of retirement - imagine, power was given to Nigeria that long ago, and what did the leaders do with it? What are your tangible achievements, show us?

All infrastructures Nigeria has today are still the same as the British handed it over to us in 1960 - in fact, they are in worse condition than ever, e.g. our Post Offices, Railways, the Nigerian Telecom (NITEL) etc are only just ticking - tick, tick, tick because, Nigeria doesn't even understand the meaning of the word 'MAINTENANCE' as we don't have that in our dictionary.

And that brings me, to your online etiquette - here you're trying to teach me about technology. When did you first ever set those eyes on a 'COMPUTER', let alone to touch them and then, own one and work with them both at home/work, huh? Remember the date?? Eh?

We all knew when Nigerian began to think about them - even as early as 1980's it was very rare and unheard of in Nigeria and here you are, coming to educate me on how to access information - soon you'd start, exposing your ignorance about 'MOBILE PHONES' too, and again I ask, when did it first commonly, appear on Nigerians streets - how long ago? Perhaps, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's.huh!

Listen, until you wean yourself off this backward mentality, you will never get anywhere soon, on your back!!!!!!!!!!

Get out of my face - thick!!!

alexola20: Nice one @OP.
But these are just mere pix.Take Nigeria for example,almost everybody lives in darkness and insecurity.The pix r nice though but these r not really the images of africa.Even Lagos and Abuja skies r nothing to talk about,they look boring Sky should be blue but Lag and Abj look grey,this tells you the mood of pple living in these two cities perhaps the entire country.

Yes, alexola20, you are absolutely 'RIGHT' and on the spot.

You know what, you can say that again 110+ times, please!!

If insecurity are not gripping or felt by Nigerians on their own soil certainly, Nigerians live in 'DARKNESS'.

Where on earth would you get 24/7 electricity without sudden power cut here and there - SHOW ME!!! I want to see!

Also, where on earth would one go to bed sound and wake up in the morning exhilarated without worry and fear of who's knocking on the 'DOOR' uninvited gone midnight?? SHOW ME! And, if you survive tonight how about tomorrow, that's the query?

Imagine, some Nigerians have lived abroad for over 40yrs and are frightened to go home because of the stampede they will experience from groups of armed robber every night when no one had ever harassed them in their own homes, all their lives abroad - what a shame!! Yet, someone is here pretending all is well at home, really? In your dreams!!

Basically, this is nothing but blind patriotism!!! Call a peg - a peg and it won't change its structure, ok! It will remain a peg, right? Therefore, stand up and be counted. You see, these people are more concerned about the status and image of an already shattered country than the welfare of it citizens. I don't blame you, material world!!!

Now, let's analyze the situation in our country a bit further maybe, some of you would understand that Nigerians are living below par. Imagine, Nigeria is not even at wars with anybody/country by any standard yet, most Nigerians are suffering hardship as if Nigeria is at war with other countries as a result, we must all put on our STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT JACKETS AND CAPS in order to stave off the war effects - shall we??

Oh, kwashiokor come back, hasn't it? Some Nigerian children are so malnourished and suffering kwashiokor as ifin Nigerian/Biafran war time. Some adults go without food for days not because, they are fasting rather, nothing to eat or feed their children and high level crimes are everywhere as a result. Don't want to say any more to these pretentious backward thinkers.

That's just a little picture painted for you!

Now, I wonder, how we would all fair in this country if another country challenges our National Security now, and invite us to war - I wonder! A lot of people would perish and the thieves would run off with all they stole from us thus, leaving these bind patriots in shame and hiding away for their own safety because of what they said, at peace time!

Imagine, the thief politician James Ibori stole the heart off, his own state - plunging them into perpetual suffering and poverty yet, a Nigerian court set him free only to be convicted and imprisoned for 13yrs by a foreign court - what a shame and tarnished image of Nigeria world-wide and you lot are here blindly trying to preserve dignity Nigeria haven't got anymore - shame on you!

I don't blame you all, as some of you hadn't even left Lagos or Abuja before how then, could you have seen the world you live? So, what could you bring to the table, when you have no point of comparison - nothing!!

And for those arguing about these overt issues, I can only say - you are BLIND PATRIOTS and I rather, stick out like a sore thumb, exposing these evils in my country than glamorizing it at the expense of poor and hungry Nigerians who are out there in Nigeria streets, up and down the country this night, begging food and money to survive.

To these cowards, I will only say, shame really shame to you all, for covering evil that is already a wide spread knowledge!!

Copiousworld: Nice wedding but was wondering why not a single black lady around? Are there no black ladies in Finland or she got no black female friends?

[size=16pt]Well, they did say there ain't many black people there as the land is infested with White people besides, na their land be that nobe so o o o?

Hmmm, it indicates all them your black brothers out there, will be coming home with a few white wives soon - watch it!!

So, if your boyfriend is out there, do not relax until you get him home safely... [/size]

Super1759: Who is this one and where did you originate from.we all know that tinubu said the truth.am nt siding anyone self my take is if the quota given to lagos is given to abia state.definitely things can't be the same.tinubu is a cr.ook infact he is a viper while orji uzor kalu is a snake.
