Ngodigha1: The most respected Nigerians are as follows:
Prof Chinua Achebe.
Chief Emeka Anyaoku.
Prof Wole Soyinka.
Dr Ngozi Iwuala.
Alex Ekwueme
Dr Ezekwesiri
Dora Akunyili
Alh Dangote
Solomon Lar
Chukwudifu Oputa
Ralph Uwechue
Ebitu Ukiwe
Pepper Clarke
Pat Utomi
Tam David West

I like your list. But in my opinion, I would place Alh Aliko Dangote above Dr Oby Ezekwesili. The rest are exactly the way I'd view them with Prof Chinua Achebe as the first on the list.

Posters who employ 'National Honours' as a criteria for recognoition, should go and ask Bode George, Tafa Balogun and co what happened to theirs.

luluosas: Yeah! Techno is a Chinese product but not necessarily a cheap bad product. After all, the likes of Samsung, Apple and others manufacture their phones hard-wares in China.

Yes Samsung, Apple, have manufacturing plants in China. But those are for component hardware parts right? The quality and durability is immediately obvious in products assembled in China. Even Nigerian wires and cables are preffered to those made in China.

I'm not saying all products made in China are bad. All their products are also comparatively low priced and not just the phones.

I dont even think Samsung should be listed among companies which make expensive phones. What about Apple and Blackberry?

Compare Samsung, Apple and BB phones of similar specs. Then you'll know that Samsung phones are not that over-priced.

Toelu: you don't need an app to take screenshots..

Press the home button and the power button together and you should hear a sound of a screenshot being taken. The screen will flash and you should see a text that shows it has been captured and saved... simple

LOL. Tried it . Thanks. And here I was thinking I needed an app to do that.

Any other tips, tricks, shortcuts? Would appreciate your reply.

@ Lulosas, please what app could I install to capture screenshots on an unrooted Samsung Galaxy SII?

I assume Techno is a Chinese company, yeah?

@ Lulosas, thanks a lot for the tips you've been dropping so far on this thread. Appreciate greatly.

This may seem off-topic please: What app can I install to capture screen-shots? Such as those of speedtests. I use a Samsung galaxy SII. Android ver 4.0.4. Unrooted. Dont want to root yet.

Thanks. Really helpful tips. Especially the first five.

Wow. I never knew this to be possible. Just hopes it lasts. I'd already been subscribed to Glo comonth BIS. That should be 3GB data for N1400. Transferred the SIM to my Galaxy and changed the APN to blackberry.net The android is browsing normally and my credit is still intact

I just hopes it lasts. Thanks everyone. @ Lulosas especially. You too much. To think I'd bought mtn 1GB for N3500 just last night. No wa.

ogugua88: Among the suspects was a retired police officer. Unfathomable.

LOL. Ogugua, do make an effort to visit a Nigerian police station one day and observe the conduct of SOME (not all) of the officers there.

Believe me, if not for the uniforms they wear, some of them are just a hair's breadth from being fully on the other side of the law.

confusion247: Please moderator we won't accept hidden posts this year or.......
Please let my people be. I think there is freedom of expression?

I see your username is 'confusion always'. What could be more apt?

But I'm just curious. First it was Okonjo Iweala's mother, then Nkiru Sylvanus. Ok, even Mikel Obi's father and several others I can't immediately recall. In all these cases, the kidnappers get caught.

Does it mean that if the kidnap victims are popular figures, there is a very high possibility of the culprits being caught? Hmm...

Swarms of any kind. Whenever I see insects swarming around an electric light at night or even a picture of a large crowd of people photographed from a distance, or ants crowded in a place, the mere sight gives me goose-bumps. I hate swarms.

Happy New Year everyone.

I remember posting in a thread similar to this last year. Seems just like a few days back. Time really flies.

We are Blessed indeed!

olenyi: Presently at ADORATION GROUNDS IN ENUGU WITH REV FR EJIKE MBAKA. Its definitely going down.

Chai! I'd wanted to come O. But thoughts of the dust scared me. Did mine at Blessed Sacrament Parish Ind L/Out.

Honestly, I don't even know the digits that make up my PIN. Till tomorrow I can't recall it. I simply type in four letters from the nickname I've had from secondary school. And from the layout on the keypad, the numbers appear random. No seriality.

Hmmm... Queried for 'messing'.

Soon, they'll make it an offence to pick the nose with the fingers or to even sneeze.

This thread got me interested in the PSquare official video. Downloaded it. I must say the whole thing had a dark theme. One of the boys even flashed a single eye at the beginning of the video.

I am neither kidding nor being sarcastic. But I know that some foreign music acts have been propagating satanic influences. PSquare has done a song with one of the acts.

I guess I'll have to start regarding them with a more critical eye.

charles424: I thought its gonna show the picture direct,but it only show the link,when u click on it,then u can download it and see..I have try it and it shows the picture..

Ok. I've seen it. You say you had other pics. Load more.

Hmmm... I can hear some funny knocks coming from my room O. Are you sure those pics aren't telekinetic? My hands are clean O. At least I haven't killed pesin before. Reminding me of one maddening experience I had in 2006.

Until this moment, I hadn't been aware that AZ oil bought a keke for his yarinya.

So tell me, was the "apology" intended to disabuse the minds of the aggrieved readers? Or further inform hitherto uninformed readers (like me) that he had just acquired a Tokumbo for madam? Monkey business!

Ok O. No wahala.

I hereby apologize for not informing you fellow NLers that I bought a car so many moons ago. I did not know that by this apology, the information will not go down well with some readers due to certain 'complexes'.

Bullshyte!

KDK: If it is real, then it is a familiar spirit.

Ba? Maybe the Grandpa is trying to familiarise with Baby. You know, get to meet the new member of family.

Familia ko, Peculiar ni!

[quote author=Atheist:-D]Photoshop galore[/quote]Seconded.

There seems to be a square of a different hue (around the 'ghost' head) different from the rest of the surroundings.

And since when did ghosts begin to appear in shots taken with a mobile phone? I thought it used to be Polaroids?

Or is this particular ghost e-compliant? But the guy is said to have fired the bucket 17 yrs ago. So what's the dealie?

I didn't even see a point I had in mind: Social pressure from parents and the community. When one begins to hear comments such as "come, don't you think it is time for you to consider settling down?" Pertains to guys more than ladies.

But should marriage be something that has to be done by a certain point in time? Or as the opportunity presents itself?

Does one have to marry as a fulfilment of a growing level of maturity? Or that that right person has appeared on the scene?

Marriage for me will come when I meet that right person (of which by personal conviction, is a 100% certainty). Boyfriend-Girlfriend thingy is too stressing. Too much trial and error.

I've observed the time and patience you commit in responding to inquiries. Besides that I can also say that your price range is very commendable, compared to what is obtainable in Enugu where I reside.

As a matter of fact, what you charge is the same as what they charge for the regular spray job. Oven-style spray would be a totally different budget. Honestly, I'm seriously tempted in forgoing the distance to Lag and giving you guys a trial whenever I need to do a re-spray.

Good job.

All these psychos.

smartchoice: av

Be serious in the things you do.

Hmm. It surprises me that people can carry all these hate and animosity in their hearts and still live a (decent?) life.

Funny thread.

paranorman: abi o. When i saw the headline,i tot of d wife being a 'superwoman'... She was just on time!

The story says the man has been suffering a stroke. Meaning he cannot move properly on his own. What should have been the heading?

lacasa: First it was 10million, now 40million

B4 it was 62 suspects now It is 6suspects wt marked bills

Y does this govt take nigerians as dunces?

Ђδω on earth will i as a kidnapper, veteran one at that, kidnap a high profile target Such as a sitting minister's mother, collect the ransom neatly, then i'ld make such an amateurish move as Lodging it in a bank?.



Now, let me ask the SSS y do they think Kidnappping is only 2nd to bunkering in Nigeria today?.

Do they think ds kidnappers r students or touts that smoke weed n look rough

This kidnapping tin is like the italian mafia, its a syndicate, and they r more intellectual and sophisticated than they think and dats y they cannot handle them

This is pure PR by the FG to save face after goin tru d embarassment of the NOI/Sylvanus saga where their incompetence was crystal clear for the world to see

You are forming wise-man now because they've been caught. Pray tell me, what they were supposed to do with N40 million in physical cash? Use it to cook soup?

One might say they should have used the money to buy assets. But for how long? It's still physical cash. So at some point in time, the money would still go to the bank.

The bills were marked. Either with a hidden agent, or on the basis of their serial numbers.

Go read up the stages of money laundering to see what is involved in hiding money. Especially physical cash of that magnitude. Who knows, the money might have even included low bills of N100 and N200 sef.

ogugua88: I can see where she's coming from. Often times, partners/spouses of celebrities have to give up their casual lives to fit into the celebrity's lifestyle. His millions and fame didn't appear to faze her. She still likes being a humble small-town girl. Kudos to her.

Don't like the way she dissected and scattered every itty-bitty detail of their dates and trips. Like she was gossiping with a friend. Some things could have been left off the pages of the newspaper. Bolt for one would cherish privacy.

And she referred to their cuisine in Jamaica as basically "rice and peas". That is downright deprecatory if you'd ask me.

She put the news on cyberspace herself before another person would publish and turn it into a gossip item. Good move. More like "see what happened to me o!".
