Aureliuz: Have you also considered the advantages of high population ? Advantages such as economic advantage that include a greater domestic market, attraction of investors and multinational companies, as well as more workers and more young people energizing the economy. So because we have a higher population than the Arabs, we must suffer and most of our oil money must go to the government pocket. . May thunder fire our government. Nonsense.

You are so on point jawe.....
Why are chinese pple not whining abt dia population...we can always put awa large population to good use....

Jonathan met with the Queen of England. He asked her, "How do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips u can give to me? I want to help Nigeria." "Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."Jonathan frowned, and then asked,"But how do i know the people around me are really intelligent?" The Queen replied, "Oh, that's easy, you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle." The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send David Cameron in here, would you?" David Cameron walked into the room and said,"Yes, your majesty?" The Queen smiled and said, "Answer this riddle. David, your mother and father have a child, it is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?" Without pausing for a minute David Cameron answered, "that would be me." "Yes, very good," said the Queen. Jonathan went back home to ask his Vice President Sambo. JONATHAN: Answer this. Your mother and your father have a child, it's not your brother and it's not your sister, who is it?SAMBO: "I'm not sure, let me get back to you."He asked all his staff in the Office but none could give him an answer. Finally, one day, VP Sambo ran into Dora Akunyili. Sambo asked, Dora, SAMBO: Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or sister, who is it? "Dora answered sharply, "That's easy, its me!" Sambo smiled,and said "Thanks!" Then he went back to speak with President Jonathan. Sambo: Sir, I have the answer to that riddle, It's Dora Akunyili! Jonathan got angry, he said to Sambo. Idiot! "No wonder Nigeria isn't moving forward, I am surrounded by Dummies! The answer is David Cameron!"

When I read abt the death of abacha, I knew instantly that it was a decoy. Generals don't dies cheap, except they are set up by their most trusted allies.....
There is nothing to gain in revealing the thru cause of his death, other than violence and seriously we don't need cheap violence that will lead to loss of lives without yeilding any plausible result......
I remember when yar dua was still in power, he delayed the renewal of us contract or agreement to continue to explore our oil reserve.

Something is really wrong with us.....
When you detect an error that could even be due to typo-error.... And despite that you fully understand the msg.... You still must point out their error in a very rude manner.... Indians speak and write very bad english, likewise many other countries colonised by GB.....and I have never seen indians castigating their fellow brother for speaking bad english
#encourage pple in a pleasant manner
#try to figure out the msg being passed accross
#am sure if the op posted about a sure bizness or a means to win huge amount of money, you wouldn't care to check for errors.....
#smh

I hope you get neccesary attention......
Though, I must say that some of the sacked workers were not committed at all...I applied for my national I'd since 2005 and till nw I av not received my card...I went there to check in 2011 december, I was told the same thing they tell me every time I go to check..
your card is not read, check back next year

seunfly: my brother, money is not everywhere ooo, it is only on paper and in their poket that you can find money, not with d common man.

Exactly what am saying.......our politicians have ridiculed money such that millions doesn't carry much weight anymore...its nw billions

This year is the most dramatic year in the political (democratic) history of this country.....there is huge amount of money everywhere

How would you respond if your boo (bf or gf) replies his/her ex-boo's text e.g-xmas greetings msg

For me, I think am gona be mad....am jealous and I actually know how to trick my ex to feel for me when I need dem to....girls are more easy to reconnect wif

Mujica’s Definition of Poor: Always Craving More
Mujica, who earns the equivalent of US $12,000/month,
shunned the Presidential Mansion to continue to live in
his modest house on a dirt road in a rural area outside
Montevideo. He chooses to have a simple lifestyle, he
says, so he has time to live how he wants to live.
More impressive is the fact that he donates around 90%
of his monthly salary to causes that benefit the poor, and
small scale entrepreneurs. This brings the amount he
lives on, approximately $800/month, to that of the
average Uruguayan’s. While that may be modest, he
doesn’t feel poor. Mujica believes it’s not what one has,
but having an endless craving more, that makes one
poor.
Not Acting Presidential Enough in Some Eyes, but an
Inspiration to Others
Mujica’s past gives clues to why he chooses to live how
he does in the present. He is a former leader of a leftist
guerilla group, Tupamaros, that used (admittedly
violent) Robin Hood-like strategies on behalf of the
poor. His activities with the Tupamaros landed him in
prison for 14 years, where he says he spent much time
in solitary confinement.
While his days of violence are in the past, his leftist
leanings live on, and are clearly reflected in the policies
he supports today, including same-sex marriage,
abortion rights, renewable energy, and (to the chagrin of
many Uruguayans) legalization of marijuana.
Not surprisingly, Mujica has his critics, including those
who feel he doesn’t “act presidential.” But, as one
Uruguayan acknowledges, Mujica is someone the
common people can identify with. And I can’t help feel
he is demonstrating the best type of leadership of all:
living through example, with choices that reflect an
understanding that a simpler life is better for the Earth,
for the larger human community, and doesn’t have to
equal a sense of deprivation.

Obviously, everybody is angry, emotions are heightened, and everybody is right, atleast to a degree.......if you feel nigeria is the only nation that discredit or rain e-abuse on her leaders , then u av not bin keeping up wit blogs based in europe and the US...no country is satified with the way their govt is being run,although some are much better than naija.....
The contribution of naija to the partial liberation of the black race in SA is invaluable......nigeria maynot be given the chance to speak 2day ,buh dat doesnot mean we are not appreciated.............
Note, it is not enough to criticise and then fold arms afterwards....however, the major reason why its difficult for us to fight the government in naija, lyk some countries are doing right now in europe and asia, is cheifly becos of our religious and ethnic dichotomy.....huasa wouldnt be soooo bitter right now if the president was hausa....this shouldnt be....let's call a spade a spade.....we can not all leave the shores of nigeria to seek haven else wia......let's unite first and then confront our government.....cos if we are not united, any revolution will lead us to wia lybia,egypt,syria are today........#GODLESSNIGERIA

One day , one day , I go buy that NO.4....maybach....so classy.....hmmmm...
Its so cool to be wealthy Õoº°Úº

Ultra-Armored Cars
Luxury sports cars are the favorite choice of
celebrities.But for some celebrities, their fame comes
with the price of their own security. For this reason, there
are some wealthy people who invest in expensive
armored cars.
Here are the best high-end armored cars that money
can buy:
1. Mercedes Benz S-Guard 600: $1.4 million
Not to be outdone, Mercedes Benz has their own line of
luxurious armored cars in the S-Guard 600 worth over $
1.4 million. This model can resist close range sniper fire,
rocket propelled grenades and high velocity projectiles.
Its twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V12 517-horsepower
gasoline engine can zoom from zero to 60 miles per
hour in just four seconds.
https://static6.therichestimages.com/cdn/250/95/70/c/wp-content/uploads/Mercedes_Benz_S-Guard1.jpg

2. Audi A8 Security: $685,000 to $1,000,000
The armored Audi A8 Security is a sweet package
wrapped in steel, titanium and Kevlar that makes it
invincible to high-powered firearms. It can also protect
against fire and chemical attacks.
Its W12 450b-horsepower gasoline engine can zip from
zero to 100 kilometers per hour in less than five
seconds! This car can be worth as much as a million
dollars!
https://static6.therichestimages.com/cdn/250/93/70/c/wp-content/uploads/audi-a8-w12-security.jpg

3. Bentley Mulliner Division with Armor from
Mulsanne: $400,000
The Bentley Mulliner Division car is another luxurious
model that spikes its price tag to $400,000 when
coupled with high-end armor from Mulsanne.
This particular model can withstand high-powered
firearms, chemical threats and explosive attacks from all
sides. This car can accelerate from zero to sixty
kilometers per hour in just five seconds with maximum
speed of 184 miles per hour thanks to its Twin
Turbocharged 6.7-liter 505-horsepower gasoline
engine.
https://static1.therichestimages.com/cdn/250/90/70/c/wp-content/uploads/Bentley_Mulsanne_Armored.jpg

4. Maybach 62S with Armor from Rijck: $352,000
Maybach cars are already expensive as it is. But when
the famous Swiss armoring company Rijck integrates its
inputs to the Maybach, expect it to be very expensive.
Rijck has created a heavily armored Maybach 62S that
can deter a high-powered sniper rifle fire from ten
meters away. The engineers were able to accomplish
this feat without changing the beautiful exterior and
interior design of the Maybach.
It comes equipped with an AMG V12 Biturbo 5980cc
620-horsepower gasoline engine. It accelerates from
zero to sixty miles per hour in just five seconds. The
price tag for this Maybach-Rijck tandem is $352,000.
https://static0.therichestimages.com/cdn/250/98/70/c/wp-content/uploads/Maybach_62S_Rijck_Armored.jpg

5. BMW 7 Series High Security: $350,000
BMW is a high-end luxury brand for vehicles but they
can pack a punch as well with their armored 7 Series
High Security. BMW believes this car is German
engineering at its finest because its added weight does
not not affect the handling and acceleration of the car.
The High Security can repel high velocity projectile
weapons and chemical attacks. It even has its own gas
tank that can seal itself again when hit by a bullet. Its
engine is no slouch as well because its V12 6-liter, 535-
horsepower gasoline engine can accelerate from zero
to 60 miles per hour in just six seconds.
https://static5.therichestimages.com/cdn/250/100/70/c/wp-content/uploads/BMW_7-Series_High_Security.jpg

6. Popemobile: $311,000
The Popemobile cost $311,000 but its value goes
beyond that because of the passenger it serves. This
vehicle is bulletproof and can withstand all forms of
biological and chemical attacks. Even if it gets flat tires,
it can still speed through seventy miles per hour. It runs
on a Mercedes Benz V8 5-liter gasoline engine that can
speed up from zero to 60 miles per hour in just six
seconds.
https://static0.therichestimages.com/cdn/250/114/70/c/wp-content/uploads/Popemobile_Armored.jpg

7. Conquest Knight XV: $310,000
Seen by many as a “Hummer Killer,” the Conquest
Knight XV is built of hardened steel with Kevlar-
fiberglass fenders and bumpers. Even the wheels are
impervious to damage because it is made of forged
6061 aluminum. Its engine is either a GM V8 6-liter 325-
horsepower gasoline or a Cummins ISB 6.7-liter diesel.
Its top speed can reach 153 miles per hour even with all
its weight.
https://static1.therichestimages.com/cdn/250/97/70/c/wp-content/uploads/Conquest_Knight_XV.jpg

8. Cadillac One: $300,000
You’ve probably heard of Air Force One, the airplane
used by the President of the United States of America
for international travels. It has a land vehicle counterpart
in the Cadillac One. But this privileged limousine is
more than mere looks. It is heavily armored and its
details are highly classified, leading some funny
observers to joke that the Cadillac One can withstand a
direct hit from a nuclear warhead.
For the estimated price of $300,000, the Cadillac One
features a diesel-powered V8 6.6L turbo 300hp diesel.
When in a presidential convoy, the Cadillac One has
many other decoys to confuse potential threats.
https://static8.therichestimages.com/cdn/250/101/70/c/wp-content/uploads/Cadillac_One.jpg

9. The Dartz Kombat T98 SUV: $200,000
The Russian-made Dartz Kombat T98 is technically a
sports utility vehicle. But it really looks more like a tank.
It looks like a Hummer with heavy steel plated doors
and 7cm thick windows that can repel AK-47s and even
rocket-propelled grenades.
It is powered by a monstrous 8.1 liter Vortec V8 that can
sustain speeds of 180 kilometers per hour even with all
its weight. Dartz has had a long history when it comes to
armored cars dating back to World War I.
https://static8.therichestimages.com/cdn/250/97/70/c/wp-content/uploads/Dartz_Kombat_T98_SUV.jpg

10. The Tumbler: The Dark Knight’s Newest
Batmobile
This armored car exists in the realm of fantasy but when
it was produced for the Batman sequel The Dark Knight
Rises, it inspired crazy aspirations among hardcore
Batman fans. The Tumbler has a HM 5-liter Vauxhall
engine with jet engine boosters. The Tumbler also has
auto-cannons in its nose. It may not withstand all types
of RPGs, but it has the motorcycle-like Batpod as
insurance embedded within the car.
This armored car can be built but vehicle engineers peg
the price in the range of millions of dollars.

Testing and Certification for Armored Vehicles
When you decide to buy a luxurious armored vehicle,
note that it must pass stringent measures applied to all
armored vehicles. The old BRV 1999 guidelines have
now been replaced with BRV 2009 benchmarks. It is not
enough for an armored vehicle to withstand 90-degree
attacks from projectiles; it must also resist attacks from
various angles.
Independent organizations such as the Beschussamt
Mellrichstadt in Germany must carry out the armor
testing to guarantee the integrity of the vehicle.

ghananotnaija: FYI, I live in Nigeria and knows the situation well.
