This country sef!!!!!!!!!!!!!

really 'is that our biggest problem now.  Has madam minister heard of the term colloquialism'.
Glo ''Naija'' sings will have to completely rebrand the show and Etisalat can say goodbye to 0809ja for life.
I used to get irritated by the excessive use of the word but can't belive our government's new focus  is the slangs we use.
We still do not have electricity madam and its 2010, speak about that!!!!!!!!!!!

I will, in a heartbeat

I personally do not think there's any big deal about giving birth at 42. As long as menopause hasn't set in, its perfectly natural, remember Sarah in the bible.

By the way Celine's deliveries were scripted from the start way back. She's a big celebrity who had just finished a highly successful stint in Vegas and then it was time to expand the family. So her embryos (not her eggs & her husband's spermatozoa) which were by the way frozen 8 years ago were implanted.

I'm sure that with her history of difficult conceptions, she took this precaution with the advise of her doctors. It was a perfect plan that worked out for her and I'm quite sure that carrying twins was also not by accident.

Again I think a mother would only use a surrogate if only if she is not physically able to carry the pregnancy.

The finale was unlike any GUS I've watched, usually they would be looking for the 'core object' that represents the theme for the season's show.
I couldn't believe that the obstacle/activity course was the ultimate determinant, I thought it was just another task,on the other hand, I'm happy Kunle won.
Mean while, who noticed that Bob-manuel stopping Leke and Atiku from completing their tasks made it impossible to name a runner up and 3rd place positions .

I think it has alot to do with their roles (as instrumentalists) being a skill that not just any church worker can replicate.
A choir member, usher, prayer team member etc can afford to be absent and any other person could stand in, but an instrumentalist has to be there for worship.
Since its a paying job, their service/participation is no longer voluntary.
However it is not every instrumentalist who gets paid.

What's this new trend, you get to work in the morning and you are asked 'How was your night', why the heck would any one want to know how my night was. Correct me if I'm wrong but no one used that expression when we were growing up.

How about people who say "I am going to catch my fun this holiday".

What other Nigerian expressions baffle you

I've heard of a 'God is Good' and personally know 'Goodnews' and 'Triumphant Grandeur'

Please advise

I am an account officer who manages a church's account. In their case most of the monies are kept in deposits and finance their church projects, crusades, construction, maintenance, advertisements etc

I have really mixed feelings about this post,  because I do not support the principle for making commercial the things of God.
Yes, these ads were in today's paper (Tuesday Guardian), and am sure a number of people noticed them as well. I couldn't help but share it with the house to find out whether it's just me who feels this way.

I am a Christian (and I admit I am not the perfect being), I do not pretend that I do not have flaws, I try to be realistic about life and trust God to help me be a better person in a real 21st century kind of way, so when I get on a bus and hear a preacher speak, I respect his boldness to preach the word openly,  but also listen to what he says to be sure that he is INDEED a "Man of God"  and I never feel compelled to say a Halleluyah, Amen or sing along.

It's also funny how these preacher's try to guilt trip you into answering their calls, by saying things like," if you are a child of God shout Halleluyah", I think it's a way to emotionally manipulate one into responding, and I do not buy it because I do not know, their doctrine or which "Jesus" they preach.

It was only in my service year that I started to see preachers, preach and then request an offering.
Before the bus takes off to its destination, they give a full service, Praise Worship, The Word and then , AN OFFERING?  It's either they are genuine pastors who will remit to their ministries/pockets or frauds who play on the traveller's fear of accidents by offering their "Spiritual Services". AN OFFERING, That goes to what ministry, for what use, AN OFFERING

I thought I had seen it all, and now this , vacancies in the papers, promising attractive salaries, promises to plant missions overseas, renumeration tied to "pastoral experience and ability to learn quickly".

I think this is unfortunate, any  Tom, Nick or Harry who has had no other luck getting any other job will quickly hear the call of God to ministry and sign up. No disrespect to these ministries but I'm not sure they know what they're getting into or , may be they do.

Jesus' disciples had nothing, just their love for Christ and the desire to obey and spread the gospel. I think this is the height of it!!!!!!!!!

Is NHF a farce or do we really have access to it. I'm hoping to accesss it to refinance a mortgage with a bank. The bank is dragging their feet about accessing the NHF so I'd like to know whether it is possible and how to go about it through another institution.

HEY

Just the kind of opprotunity i'd have liked to have when I was in school. So what are the chances for someone who works to do Voice-overs part time and how many people do you intend to "shortlist" at the end of the audtions.

I don't think i'll be able to make it over on the 30th, any chances for a spill-over - probably 31st
Also, how much is the form, its not legible on the ad. Thanks

when macaulay culkin's character dies and at the funeral his [girl]friend is like
(crying) "give him his glasses, he can't see without his glassess"

my first time, i was to young to have cared, the plane could have twirled a million times, i wld have had no idea.
my first time after a very long time (1990) was in August 2006 and after the disaster we'd been having, it was scary
i went with virgin nigeria cos everyone sticks to the 'airlines' these days, no gambling.
the oyinbos, frequent fliers were relaxed, i on the other hand clutched my bible, devotional et al and was praying internally through out.
anytime the engine went silent i would almost freak out, i thought the plane had stopped working and when we were still in the air 5 minutes longer than i'd calculated i was worried.
when we landed it was a relief
next time i'm stay up all night, the night b4 so i can sleep through the flight oh!!!

Hi there,
I passed out from the NYSC in PH yesterday(thank God!!!!!!!) and was invited to write a test by some consulting firm at the parade ground, for later in the evening,
I passed the screening,was asked to bring certificates, was interviewed bla bla today.
Now they I've been asked to fill forms and they expect me to be in Lagos for another interview in Lagos on Sunday at 9am, if I pass I will pay 5K for a three days training, after which i will receive a certificate and i can choose whether or not i still want the job. at the moment i am being considered for a marketing job for one of the first generation banks.
I just want to know whether it is a standard, accepted practice by consulting firms.

Hello,
Please read through the program below:
QuickSmart - The Most Successful Program On The Web!
PHASE 1 -------- PLEASE PRINT OUT THIS MATERIAL FOR
THOROUGH READING OFFLINE BECAUSE OF LENGHTY AND
VALUABLE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN This program is
designed to make money via internet quickly and
honestly. It is quite new, yet already proven to be
most effective. It is truly exciting, with many people
now using it, and with so many more still to see it.
This program is very powerful - a real money generator
on the web! No other program comes close when you need
money quickly and honestly.
You are guaranteed financial success with this opportunity
because of the method used to confirm the honesty of each
participant. However, when most of us first look at this program,
we may think its just another get rich quick scheme. But it isn't
- by reading the details, you will see that it is quite different.
And only about a week after starting, money will start rolling
in quickly!
According to US Postal Service Lottery
Codes: Title 18, section 1302 and 1341 state that this
service is legal because we are building a mailing
list. The postal service has a phone number where you
are able to call and verify this. 1-800-725-2161 This
is a FAIL-SAFE money making program where all cash
reciepts are verifiable in advance, because every
participant is held accountable, every participant
gets paid well, every participant is sure that nobody
can cheat. That is why i choose to participate. I
invite you to do likewise. Being fail-safe and
cheat-proof, what have we got to loose? The power of
the internet is here to be used. More and more people
are using this program to create a substantial income
quickly. Expect to earn up to N1,000,000 in the next
60 days. We all know that internet money programs can
really work, but most of us have major concerns about
them:
1. They are too complex, often requiring large investments.
2. They require real internet marketing experience.
3. There is usually no way of monitoring returns.
4. There is no way of eliminating cheaters.
This program solves all of those concerns! It is 100%
certain that everyone will get paid for joining. This
is because we require accountable e-mail addresses for
all participants. The total cost to you is two N1,000
Bills.(Not a lot, no matter your present financial
position) BUT YOU SPEND NOTHING AT ALL UNTILL YOU GAIN
e-mail confirmation that the sender of this letter has
paid.
The fail-safe mechanism controls the proggram, so it's
impossible for anyone to cheat. This way nobody gets
hurt and everyone gets paid. All participants make the
money they deserve for their efforts. Read on and you
will see why.
The method of accountability used keeps everyone honest.
We all get our money by building an easy and valuable MAILING
LIST. Too many programs before this one have no fail-safe
mechanism for protecting the honest participants from those
who put their names on a list without sending any money.
That is what causes such programs to ultimately fail.
With this program, it is IMPOSSIBLE FOR SUCH CHEATING TO HAPPEN.
If you decide to participate, you will be required to send N1,000
to just two of the people on the list shown below, with an email
asking them to add your name to their mailing list and send you a
copy of, "PHASE 2" More about that shortly.
First take the time to save this letter in your YahooMail Notepad
or drafts so that you can edit the prescribed areas later if you
decide to join. Once you finish reading check the honesty of me
that i have paid my N2,000. The very first step is to e-mail the
two people in the position #1 and #2 from the current accountability
list below, and ask them if they have recieved their N1,000 from me.
This is what MAKES CERTAIN the success of this program. You will not
send money to me until you KNOW that i have paid the people in
position 1 and 2.
POSITION #1 AMUSA
BABALOLA,INTERCONTINENTAL
BANK Plc, Account no:0125601418001,E
-mail:usaba70@yahoo.com,
POSITION #2 Adagbada Ebenezer,
Ecobank Nigeria Plc, Account no:1536037914,
E -mail:tooslar@yahoo.com,
The above are the two people i sent my N2,000 to.
After paying them, I sent them an e-mail to add me to their mailing
list. After you have verified that i'm genuine and decide to
participate, Go to the Bank of the person in position #3 (me),
pay N1,000 Bill, send details of payment to my email address,
such as Name, reciept number, date of payment, Branch of payment,
Your email address and phone number, then include a note in the e-mail
that reads: "Please add my name to your Mailing List and rush Phase
2 to me"
NOTE: Only the person in Position #3 supplies Phase 2, NEVER any other person.

POSITION #3 ADESIJI HENRY
INTERCONTINENTAL BANK PLC, Account no:0194E93693001,
E-mail:crownpays4real@yahoo.com
POSITION #4 AKOMOLAFE TEMITOPE A,
WEMA BANK Plc, Account no:0872116704118,
E -mail:info2onlinebiz@yahoo.com.
Next, Go to the Bank of the person in position #4, pay
N1,000 Bill, send details of payment to his email address,
such as Name, reciept number, date of payment, Branch of payment,
Your email address and phone number, then include a note in
the e-mail that reads: "Please add my name to your Mailing List".
If you do not have a bank account and you want to participate, you may
consider putting your home address or Post Office Box address in
Position #3 and ask people to Send your N1,000 Bill through Nipost
(regular snail mail) after carefully wrapping it in a letter and
inserting it in a BROWN envelope.
NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS EDIT YOUR COPY OF THIS LETTER AS FOLLOWS:
FIRST: Move the person currently in POSITION #4 to POSITION #2.
Be sure all information is copied correctly and completely. (The
person originally in POSITION #2 is now dropped from
the list, and has made their N1,000,000) SECOND: Move
the person in POSITION #1 to POSITION #4 with all
correct information. THIRD: Move the person in
POSITION #3 to POSITION #1 with all correct
information. FINALLY: Enter your name, complete bank
details or home address if you don't have a bank
acconut, and e-mail address. Please also provide your
name and e-mail address at the end of this letter.
Remember, You only send the N1,000 Bill to the names
in position #3 AND #4 on this letter. DO NOT SEND
MONEY TO THE NAMES IN POSITION #1 and #2. NOTE: When
typing your email address, please remember to be
accurate. Double check! Once you start, there are two
simple things you must do to make this work for
maximum return in 2 months. BE PATIENT at the start!
It takes easily a week or so to really get up and
going, and to start recieving lots of money in your
Bank account or letter box. BUT THEY WILL COME! This
is the internet! YOU WILL DEFINITELY MAKE A LARGE SUM
OF MONEY WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, and you will also have a
mailing list service to use yourself to further enrich
you. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE MONEY FAST! It
is very inexpensive to participate in, just compare it
to the value of lottery tickets - where making money
is next to impossible. Think of the power of the
program running internationally. FURTHER INFORMATION
You may already feel that this program is not what you
thought at first, but still remain doubtful or a
little unclear about whether or not to have a go.
Unlike so many other programs you do not send money to
four or five people for reports, recipes or disks or
any other product. Nor do you risk loosing your time
and money. This program is less demanding and do not
take advantage of the Novice online marketer.
Effectively, we all become a team - we know that we
must follow the rules, and that our team work that we
all win. This program has been set up so that you will
succeed. If you do exactly as described, then you will
succeed in this business. To compare this with the
many uncontrolled programs: First of all, this program
has only four controlled levels - not five, six, seven
or more uncontrolled levels like other programs. When
you first send this program out, you will soon get 20
- 25 people who will send you N1,000 to join the
mailing list and to commense their Phase 2. They will
do this only after they confirm that you have paid
your N2,000. To account for curiosity seekers, and
people who don't recognise the opportunity (not you of
course!), let's say that only 10 people then actually
pursue the program provided. These 10 people then put
your name in the accountability list position #1, and
their respondents will be asking you if they paid
their N1,000 Naira. Their active participants will
then move your name to position #4, WHERE YOU WILL BE
RECIEVING N1,000 Notes from 10 x 10 x 10 people.
That's a total of 1,000 people. 1000 x N1,000 =
N1,000,000. (One million naira) You may think that it
will be difficult to attain this, the Strategies
outlined in Phase 2 will make it easier for you to
EASILY GET 20 - 50 people in less than one week,
WITHOUT YOU MEETING OR TALKING TO THESE PEOPLE. At the
same time, you will only Spend about 2 hours of work
setting it up, after that people will come to you to
get registered and pay you, not you going to people.
No other program comes this close in EASILY MAKING YOU
A MILLION NAIRA IN 60 DAYS! Once Set up, it now runs
on Auto-Pilot pouring in Avalanches of N1,000s into
your Bank account daily. All you do is spend ONLY 30
minutes daily replying people online that you have
been paid several N1,000s. Because this is done on the
internet, it moves very quickly. Therefore, you only
need 10 ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS who actually promote this
program to reach your target. The information in Phase
2 gives you Sure-Fire Strategies to get 20-50 people
in a week's time. Think of what will happen if 20 of
these people becomes active to the 3rd level, it can
give you an easy N8,000,000 in 60 days, but to be
conservative, our target is N1,000,000 in 60 days!
Once you recieve your N1,000 from people, make sure
you send out PHASE 2 To them. At this point, all you
will have to do will be to answer the e-mails saying,
"YES, i have been paid" NOTE: Be sure to keep a record
of those who have paid and added to your mailing list,
and respond very quickly to verifications requests. I
will suggest you keep a record of everyone who has
paid in different folders in your Yahoomail Notepad.
The first will be those who have asked you for PHASE 2
and to be added to your mailing list (your direct
downline), and the second will be those who have just
asked to be added to your mailing list. When you have
been asked to verify somebody, just go to the folder
in your Yahoomail notepad and scroll down after
opening it to search for that person's name. Remember
that you may send this program to people who send you
similar programs. Many such people are keen and active
users of opportunities sent to them, and this one is
safe, fast and simple. It will not appeal to cheats,
yet be great for anyone looking for a VERY low cost
fun investment. SUMMARY OF THE SIMPLE STEPS TO FOLLOW:
FIRST: Save the whole of this letter as PHASE 1,
somewhere in your email box, where you can edit the
changes. (Names, addresses, Bank infos, email
addresses, and position's). SECOND: Get two N1,000
Bill/note and Rush to pay People in Positions #3 and
#4 respectively (N1,000 each) with an e-mail request
to join their mailing list. NOTE: That cost is your
Only financial risk. THIRD: Update the names on the
list carefully, as detailed above. YOUR name, Home
address or Bank details and e-mail address names in at
POSITION #3 (where mine is now). You then wait for
PHASE 2 to arrive in your e-mail box from me. This
will be sent the same day that i confirm that you have
actually paid your N1,000. HOW YOUR NAME MOVES THROUGH
THE SYSTEM: FIRST: Your name starts at position #3 in
Phase 1 - to all of the people who gets your business
opportunity. PHASE 2 will help you to easilly reach
your target of 20 - 30 people in one week. SECOND: You
will email PHASE 2 out to each person who has sent you
N1,000. You will be instructing your respondents to
place your name in POSITION #1. You will then begin
recieving inquiries from others asking if you have
been paid your N1,000. You will be keeping track of
all those who you have been paid by. You won't be
recieving much at this stage (just the N1,000 you
recieved from each person in Phase 1, which will be
from N10,000 - N25,000 or so) THIRD: Those people who
have just enquired as to whether payment was made to
you, will be getting another 10 or more people to
participate, and your name will then be in POSITION
#4. This is when you will recieve the BIG MONEY! LAST:
Your name will be in position #2, where you will again
be recieving enquiries, and you will be likely to
answer at this point YES, I'M N1,000,000 RICHER. Many
will then participate and make money also.
Participation is all that we require for success.
Isn't this a brilliant Business? We really have the
best, because we have created a fool-proof and
cheat-proof system where everybody has accountability.
Your small investment of two N1,000 Bills will reward
you with N1,000,000 or More! Once again please email
me if you have any questions. None of us are able to
go back for a new beginning. But, we learn and grow,
so all of us are able to make a new start. Just do it!
Good fortune to all of you who participated - and have
fun! Once you have decided that you are going to make
N1,000,000 in the next 60 days, you have checked the
accountability of me, and have Paid your N2,000, you
will be ready to start preparing for Phase 2. Do you
see how easy it is for you to make your first
N1,000,000 in 60 days? If you don't think it is easy,
or don't completely understand it, then read over
until you do. If you still want some help, then don't
hesitate in sending me an e-mail. Do NOT leave it.
Your Financial Future depends on it.

Wishing you all the best and here is to success on the web.
