efe might not be the 24 he claimed but tboss is still the oldest housemate. she's too old, bossy and arrogant. imagine her saying she can spend 25 milla within a week...that's a big slap to her fellow mates and the organizers of the show!

and what's with bisola's face, though? i wasn't her fan but she seemed more real to me than tboss. is tboss' face not covered with rings and pancake?

let her gerrara here...someone who can't recite ordinary nigeria national anthem doesn't deserve to win a nigeria-hosted show too.
if you can't use your 'real' age on a 'reality' show, then you have no business being called 'real'. lemme stop there before peeps ask me if I've seen his birth certificate. lol

You don't like TBoss at all. fair enough. I don't really like her too. but I developed a soft spot for her due to the hate from the 'real people'

she actually had a lot of annoying behaviours. quite immature for her age. and it was obvious her previledged background gave her a sense of entitlement. funny enough, I think she was a bit 'real'. because, she could have hidden those defects while on the show. but she didn't.

being real is what kept efe and bisola to the finals. and i have to say tboss was extremely lucky to remained in the house till the end. she doesn't even deserve the 3rd position...so why are people crying on her behalf?

let her go and get her own 25 million from those alhajis hitting on her...with their private jets that don't fly.
Lol. Nigerians and this 'real' stuff sef

efe didn't even use his 'real' age. the guy is claiming 24. and bisola hardly lets u guys see her real face. make-up to the rescue.

in fact, its almost impossible to stay true to yourself when you know there's a camera recording every move you make. every word you utter.

make una forget this 'real' stuff joor

why do you all like deceiving yourselves?
no deceit. its obvious that most of our states are not doing well. the governors just sit back and wait for handouts from Abuja. IGR is nothing to write home about.

maybe you reacted to the 'south-west' in my post tho. but I was only pointing out that I've not left my comfort zone for some time. its not abt politics or ethnicity or tribe.

the problem is general. even states in the south west like Oyo,osun,ondo and ekiti have to do more.

Sorry if I misread your intent. But the part where u said other states aren't economically viable, I heavily disagree with. I've met multi-millionaires whose businesses aren't in Lagos, Rivers or Ogun. It depends on what you're looking for: if it's a job, Lagos and pH are good fishing grounds if not if you're into business you may have no business you may have no business with any of these states. Infact, what is really holding many states back is access to sea (Onitsha for instance) and maybe unfavorable government policies

I'm glad you've been to Aba and a few other viable places...
Its all good

the IGR of most of our states is not up to 10% of the allocation they get from the FG. This coupled with the 'usual' poor governance issues is why I'm of the opinion that most states are not viable.

I'm an accountant and I consult for businesses. audit and tax consultancy. my firm is a start up, so I target small businesses. overtime, I have come to realize that majority of these businesses are in Lagos and Ogun.

I once went to Enugu with a friend in 2015. stayed in emene, just opposite the airport for like a month. and I liked the town. serene and calm. no hassle. the governor was very popular. ive forgotten his name now. but his nickname was gburugburu. lol

But we found it hard to get clients. the few businesses around already had their own consultants. most believed they were not making enough to be able to afford the luxury of consultancy. Very frustrating. so I had to come back home. I think its easier for traders tho

Hope you can see it from my perspective now

Bro, there are many economically viable states outside LAGOS. Infact the only attraction to the SW is Lagos.

I grew up in the South where my Sunday School teacher was Yoruba, pastor was Yoruba, even a few of my neighbors are Yoruba. Many people from the south west work in the south South. I even met a friend in Lagos who wishes to return to pH to work. Saying nothing happens outside the south west means you're uninformed too.

I just wish something draws you outside the south west to see the rest of Nigeria. It's beautiful on the other side; just not as crowded.
I didn't say nothing happens outside the southwest. I only said I have not been outside the southwest in a year.

when I said other states have to do better. I was reffering to all states apart from Lagos, including other states in the south west. in fact, I believe the only states that come close to being self sufficient are Lagos,Ogun,rivers and maybe kano.

I'm not uninformed. rather, you failed to comprehend my post. due to your biased preconception.

and I still insist that other states still have a long way to go.

by the way, I have been to Enugu, aba, PH, Abuja, kano, kebbi and makurdi in the past. its just that there's not enough in most of these places to lure people back. that was my point

the way you jumped on the south west part makes me think you're one of the tribal warlords here on NL

To the average Lagosian, the rest of Nigeria means Ogun state and Ibadan; one of the many reasons why NYSC shouldn't be scrapped yet.
I think it's beyond NYSC.

I for one have not left the southwest for about a year now. and I am someone who enjoys travelling

The issue is that there has been absolutely no reason for me to go to the east or north for a year now. No reason

The other states need to buck up their ideas. they need to become economically viable first. Then people will be attracted to these states. a bit of tourism will help too.
TravelRe: See The List Of The 5 Busiest Roads In Nigeria. by thinkative: 7:16pm On Mar 30, 2017
The fact that the Lagos Abeokuta road isn't on the list is laughable. this road runs along alimosho local govt (the biggest LG in Nigeria in terms of population).
The road is always busy...every day of the year. A five minute drive from tollgate to Ikeja can take up to an hour...even on a Sunday.
Most of the other roads on the list are usually busy around festive periods.

I can watch that movie all day without getting tired or fast forwarding.

Most analyst have ranked it as one of the best movies on Earth.


have u read the book?
I've not. Been trying to lay my hands on it for years now

If the movie is ranked the best ever made, I won't be surprised.

I'm not a fan of prison movies so I was sceptical at first. But within a few mins, I realized this was different!

don't think I cried after watching this movies... they were just my best.
I have watched Shawshank redemption like 10 times. I will take the Andy and Red characters to my grave.

favourite lines:

warden Norton: Lord. its a miracle. man up and vanished like a fart in the wind

Andy: remember red, hope is a good thing. maybe the best of things. and no good things ever die.

red: I had like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him

He has something special to offer Northerners for your information, if you are supprised that he came first go and put on a thinking cap. His style is that of an average ntherner and we love it. He does not need to appear almost naked or continuously lick female lips b4 he can be said to have something to offer
so getting punch drunk at every opportunity appeals to you northerners. am I missing something?

Na mostly all these Yoruba boiz de go pour champagne for watch and then come back sleeping near their mother in one room. sad
Platinum lounge, Spices lounge and 2nite club are popular night spots in Enugu.
Orange room and 40/40 are well known in owerri too. Is it afonjas that patronize those clubs? In fact, owerri is popular for its night life, hotels and runs girls.There is a strip lounge at topten arcade on nnamdi azikiwe road in umuahia.

if these establishments aren't making tons of money every weekend, they would have packed up. or are you going to claim its the Yoruba's that are crossing the Niger to patronize them?

Stop turning everything into a chance to show your bigotry.

I don't understand. Are you actually saying his philandering with Bisola made the show interesting? Really??

The dude was obviously talented and versatile in so many ways and he always won tasks. Surely, his winning of tasks didn't have anything to do with whether he was married or not.

Besides, this isn't the first time a married/engaged person is going for the big brother house.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but most peeps watched the show basically for the philandering.

You can easily deduce from the 'reactions' after the parties compared to the 'reactions' after the tasks. parties, truth or dare games and even diary sessions were more popular than the tasks.

if viewers voted based on how well housemates did at the tasks, TTT would still be in the house.

So YES, its the philandering, kisses, bedtime gropings, suckling of boobs, partying and drunken acts that made the show interesting.

maybe you found the tasks more interesting tho.....

Lol

I don't even understand where you are coming from

the obvious truth is that if he had come out clean about his marriage and avoided all the girls on the show, you all would have called him a boring old papa and he wouldn't have lasted this long.

He gave the viewers what they wanted - controversy and sex. unfortunately for him, it wasn't enough. Simple!

hypocrisy that stinks to high heavens.
Part hypocrisy. Part lazy thinking

I'm sorry to derail explorers thread a bit, but this has to be done because its quite annoying to see people misunderstand and misconstrue Islam.

Those pictures you find 'disgusting' have very little to do with Islam. we shouldn't confuse tradition with religion. Arabs of all religions - Muslims, Jews and Christians wear hijab, not just because of religion, but because of tradition. Actually, North African Tuaregs are known for their culture where men cover their hair instead of women. Islam preaches Modesty, Yes! Those women are Muslims, Yes! Is their own form of modesty enforced on them by Islam? Hell No!

You may find the act disgusting. but don't always jump blindly into conclusion and say Islam is oppressing women. Here are the verses in the Quran that address the issue of dressing for women. Read and be educated

Q 24:31
and tell the believing women to lower some of their gaze and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which necessarily appears thereof and to wrap a portion of their head covers over their bosoms and not expose their adornments except to their husbands, their fathers, sons, father's sons, their brothers, brother's sons,sister's sons,their women.....

Q 33:59
O prophet, tell your wives,your daughters and the wives of the believers that they shall lengthen their garments. This is better so that they will be recognized and not molested. God is forgiver. Merciful

Q 24:60
The elderly women who no longer anticipate marriage commit no errors by relaxing their dress code, provided they do not flaunt their adornments, but to abstain from doing so would be better for them. God is hearer. knowledgeable
