we had a little misunderstanding,

hmm..care to elaborate?

utenwuson:
Cruelty! y not cheat on him if u cnt divorce? if a lady cannot stand cheating then don't marry @ all! nonsense
I see so many ladies quote me 2 say bullsh*t cos the guy in their life has scope n cajole them into believing they won or not cheating on them! the good news is one day u ll realise that 9 out of 10 men out there cheat on their spouse, I no wat d man did in d 1st place was bad but wat she jst did is more cruel

let me guess. your father was sleeping around with all your aunties while your mother was sitting there looking like a wall geiko
if you were raised in a good home where your father was faithful to your mother, you will not talk rubbish

TOUCH MY BODY. . . lol

sometimes, it's not about the color but the shade.
yellow can look good on guys if it's the right shade. but then again, it also depend on the shade of the guy wearing it

I've seen some asian guys and gals who look sooo good in yellow. ahhh,

it's about the shade rather than the color.

We are a religious bunch and wont be sold on this craze.
down here we’d burn the motherfucker if we had the chance! Noone needs your weird ass in our very lovely country. Thank you very much

our government is just as BACKWARD as the people.
ABACHA is the most suitable president for a wicked country as this. we can all burn and jail each other down in flames and locks.
talk about homophobia, xenophobia we got it all. and we wonder why we are one of the most POVERTY RIDDEN country in the world.


THIS IS 2008 people. not year 700 BC

left and right there are threads about people stoning or burning old women and children to death for alleged witchcraft. what is CRAZIER??

POVERTY is a disease. because i'm sure if all were comfortable. we won't bother pouncing on the helpless homosexual. we need a scapegoat to help make us feel better about our pathethic self-righteous selves.

we needed the europeans to come tell us killing twin babies and throwing them into "evil forests" was wrong years ago.
I bet we will need them to come and tell us again that burning or jailing homosexuals is wrong again.


WWJD?

Thats why i am proud to be african we still got a few morals here and there

You have nothing to be proud of in this situation, my brother.

look at all these bleaching queens

haha Timaya gave bayelsans some publicity.
Bayelsa otu o ooootu o

yes I love Bayelsa ppl even though I haven't met any. I just heard the song and fell in love

babaogun:

Just to have a feel and open minded opinion as to why we needed to change Nigeria's capital city.
Not as if am against the change.

Well, one thing's for sure, the coast was made capital cities by the colonialists because they came to Africa by ship and their first point of call was the coastal cities and you would find out these locations became the most developed areas of each ECOWAS state on the coast.

I once heard it was because Lagos was being more developed than every other part of Nigeria.
I have also heard that its because our Ex-President wanted to make Niger State Nigeria's capital.The most common one is that it is the geographical centre of Nigeria, i.e. Heart.

So many other reasons, so kindly give ideas to broaden our knowledge.

coastal territories are usually very successful for obvious reasons. They are places where historically, countries can trade with each other and spots that make a country open and accessible to others. The earliest civilizations started along coasts or water bodies (Nile in Africa etc). They usually grow into cities.
Lagos however was becoming too over crowded and Abuja is located right in the center of the nation. I think these are the only two arguments i've heard for why they changed the capital.
I really don't know much either and it'll be interesting to hear from knowledgeable people on this topic.

I got this from wikipedia though:
"Historically, the major economic center of a state or region often becomes the focal point of political power, and becomes a capital through conquest or amalgamation. This was the case for London and Moscow. The capital naturally attracts the politically motivated and those whose skills are needed for efficient administration of government such as lawyers, journalists, and public policy researchers. A capital that is the prime economic, cultural, or intellectual center is sometimes referred to as a primate city. Such is certainly the case with London and Buenos Aires among national capitals, and Irkutsk or Salt Lake City in their respective state or province.

Capitals are sometimes sited to discourage further growth in an existing major city. Brasília was situated in Brazil's interior because the old capital, Rio de Janeiro, and southeastern Brazil in general, were considered over-crowded.

The convergence of political and economic or cultural power is by no means universal. [/b]Traditional capitals may be economically eclipsed by provincial rivals, as occurred with Nanjing by Shanghai. The decline of a dynasty or culture could also mean the extinction of its capital city, as occurred with Babylon and Cahokia. [b]Many present-day capital cities, such as Abuja, Brasília, Canberra, Islamabad, Ottawa and Washington, D.C. are planned cities, purposefully located away from established population centres for various reasons, and have become gradually established as new business or commercial centres."

Kobojunkie:

this news as it does open one's mind up to the fact that education(which is the easiest fix on the list) may not be the solution to Africa's problem after all.

are you kidding me?
just because nigerians that live in the US are educated (not rocket science. they are the ones that usually can afford to immigrate) doesn't give the 120+ million nigerians in nigeria automatic PHDs.
pls don't discount education as part of the solution to Africa's problem.
Many if not most of Africans (IN AFRICA) are uneducated.

I've heard Cain before. You can google the name up sef.
example:
http://www.timcain.com/

I've also heard Delilah several times.
I've heard other names too that many parents probably shouldn't be giving their kids unless they have no clue about the Bible.

can we all say 9ICE?!!!!

tRoOE:

In fact there is no comparative here
That is an insult upon insult, 9ice and dbanj are not on the same level
How can you group noise maker abi na the koko master with 9ice

this is the truth! they're not on the same level. they don't compare

4 Him:

you're just a shameless hypocrite. Israel is the ONLY NATION ON EARTH whose very existence and sovereignity is always a cause for debate.

You support the destruction of the jewish state for its "unfairness" to "palestinians" who never existed until 1988? Ok let me show you other countries you might like to destroy too . . . China - not fair to Tibet, Hong kong.
Turkey - The kurds
Iraq - The kurds
Egypt - The copts

first off, attacking everyone else who doesn't share your viewpoint is no way to argue
second of all, why do you assume that I support China against Tibet.
Third of all, I don't agree with you that Israel is the only "nation" that is debated over. You mentioned Tibet yourself just now.

Because they were those in Israel who wanted that state. . . the rest immigrated to join forces to rebuild their state on the ruins of the Ottomans (note: not the arabs).
Praps you need me to also tell you that the US did not "back" Israel in 1948.

This isn't clear to me. who wanted the state centuries ago? who immigrated? to where? I don't get you.
Didn't Britain (country in europe "hint" back Israel then though? The US wasn't against Israel then either. It immediately recognized it's "independence."

4 Him:

no. read some history.

What a dumb post. Are the Jews who lived for centuries in arab countries also european?
For your info buddy . . . not all arabs have olive skin. Infact arabs including those in africa are regarded as caucasian white!

If they have been there for centuries, why do they want their state just now? I know there are arab jews but these aren't the zionists
Zionist movement is european. Maybe the european jews that were displaced during Hitler's holocaust.
Because the US will never back arab jews. They have to be european jews for european countries and especially US to back them up to make the creation of the state successful.


by the way, I don't hate jews but I don't support Israel state. Just because it's not fair to the Palestinians.

these Israeelis are european jews right?

The article is nothing to celebrate over. It is just another evidence of brain drain. a big problem facing underdeveloped countries where most of the educated travel abroad to enrich the economy of the foreign country. It's sad at best.
It's the same with India too. majority of Indians in the US are educated. But their is country stinking poor

There are a musliim Arabs in Israeli but they DON'T live in comfort without discrimination like TayoD said. There is a lot of commotion over there. There are even check points on the roads where Isreaelis (european jews) make sure no arabs pass through. I saw this on a documentary. The US will never show this to the people.
I feel that the Arab jews have it worse. Like u said, their identity is really. . .

I know Palestinian Jews exist. I just need proove that "they live in comfort with no discrimination against their religion or way of life."

Isreal racist? 20% of the Isreali population are Arabs, and they live in comfort with no discrimination against their religion or way of life. What other Arab country in the Middle East can boast of such?

Do you have proof of this statement. I really want to believe you but I can't.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! wow. i'm happy for you. May God bless your union


pictures please


never mind. there's one in your profile pic. nice outfit and cake. you both look really happy. all the best!!

the bus looks fine to me. like any other public transportation

if truly the window was missing, you should inform the driver so he can tell the authority to fix it.
other than that, it's fine.
please, pick up the bottle and trash it if it annoys you so. As Nigerian citizens, it is our duty and responsibility to change our country, and keep it clean. lol

HR.hotness:

Nigerian government needs to get their priorities straight

smoking is least of the nations problems

little drops of water forms a mighty ocean.
second hand smoke, even if it doesn't compare to curing AIDS, is a problem. I'm happy it's been addressed.



I hope the OP meant "Public places" rather than "public." Big difference.

------> https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-134179.0.html

why can't the party be held in the celebrant's backyard?
why should it be in the public street blocking people who are going to work and use their day productively?
which way foward Nigeria?


since when is it Nigerian culture to hold parties on public streets? It's not your property so why prevent others from using it?
if it is indeed a Nigerian culture, it is a backward culture that needs to be banned. Thanks Fashola!
