Yeap, there's an extraordinary general decision scheduled to firm up decisions.

Siena:
Lol, unfortunately, I have no jurisdiction in the Health section.

One for all and all for one ehh?

@Tatenda: You just asked an 'answerless' question

Five (5)

The whole of the first post sounds a poorly researched thesis.

Looking at Shinatu's post though, I'm pausing to re think cause it all sounds quite true. but still---

I don't agree with the poster saying it's Nigerian women that take nonesense. Shit happens everywhere and I know a good number of bad ass women that won't take shit from any man and they are Nigerians.

wahala dey o! Linsay! Never ever heard that she was gay how much more this level.

What is this world turning into indeed.

Picturing her in Parent trap and man---

CY_clone:
I think the Sam girl wohwoh sha.

LOL, she's prolly the top

Y'all still haven't found your keys?

@Idupaul, the search continues

inbox:
@spikedcylinder i have been followin your responses on most threads and quite like your disposition

Now that's headed for romance.  

I never lose my keys and I'm also wondering what the sync is btw romance and losing keys.  

kadman:
BIG UP to Tollu & Kingdong. I don't understand the ass licking on this site ? Seun would say something very foolish REGULARLY : Imagine him justifying dirt & waste throwing on roads,and you'll see other users chanting his praises. Is there a way his online money is getting to his followers ? If there is then I should be told ASAP.

Now, wouldn't you just like to know?

Arielle:
@Kingdong, I'm a girl, not a dude!! Is your name really what it implies? Scary!! LOL

LOL girl, get your mind outta the gutter

elow:
Three different models of 3 series BMWs are for sale at fair prices.

Sienna!, Sienna!!, Sienna!!!, your rocket launcher and karate skills are needed right here. Spammers ahoy.

Rams:
@Frizy: The same thing happened when I visited a year ago. I carried all my suya paper in my hands looking for a proper place to throw it away. One of my friends just laughed as he slapped it out of my hands and told me, "this is Nigeria, just throw it on the floor."

That's the way it is here. So we the 'sane' have our work cut out for us trying to ensure people do not litter the streets.


KEEP YOUR ENVIRONMENT CLEAN PEOPLE.

I must confess, the thought crossed my mind a number of times --- nah strike that. The thought has been dwelling in my mind for some time now. To think I'm not alone in this is somewhat comforting. (this man has got all the things we heard about from those wicked older uncles et al)

@Nduaj, Let's hope u r right.

tsk tsk tsk, make I never start to pick issues with anybody's opinion.

I also wanna know: Will they get refunds? That's where kasala kan burst o
N50,000 and no show! Part of the money must be refunded.

Ujujoan:
@ poster, Good point, but your accusations suck. People are dirty, its not restricted to Nigerians. Everywhere in the world, hygeine related ilness are a major cause of death. So stop ranting abour Nigeriand being dirty. Why don't you try getting rid of the dirts if they irritate you that much. You can also try sensitizing people on the dangers they cause when they fling pure water bags out of their cars. Its not an issue to fight about, its a danger to everybody including the popel causing it.

That's exactly the point of this post, SENSITIZING. p.s I'm not fighting

Fly Diva:
Nuff said on this topic, big ups to tollu, dreeldee, kingdong and others that have at least a sense of right and wrong.

I'm quite impressed with the number of sensible people on Nairaland. From the replies they made, I didn't have to come on here to defend myself or try to drive my point home. Y'all also made a good number of suggestions that can be worked on.
To borrow an anti-HIV sign-off: This cleanliness issue begins with me and you, so we can all make an impact.

@Sly
LOL, you should see V.I these days, things are a whole lot better. The fear of LASTMA is truly the beginning of wisdom.

pearlyseed:
Everybody seems to be hailing Seun for what he said and criticising the poster. How absurb ! The poster raised a very valid point which i think we all should take a cue from and make amends where necessary.

That's a trend to be looked out for on Nairaland. Some people just Identify with him for no visibly valid reason. Seems like ass licking to me and makes me wonder if money made online by Seun can be shared. funny peeps. Each to his own though

topelenege:
Tollu, I support you all the way. Come to my street in Port-harcourt and see the filth after a heavy rainfall. The whole street is littered with dirt.(Always after the rain)!  

Lol, that's because some people seem to believe the rains will wash it all away. Yes it will, but na the front of another person house water go dump am.

hanen:
Another bad habit right there of ours: Justifying bad behaviour. There's no excuse for living in dirty surroundings, or throwing junk out your window.

Thank you!!!!

Tats:
The place at Obalende garage where the flyover takes you to third mainland bridge where people sit on the bridge railing and pass faeces (that the poster described) is the most disgusting place I have ever seen in my life! It can make someone throw up. Faeces have mounted and formed some sort of aggregation of anthills that are as high as 4 metres! Go and provide mobile toilets and see if people will use them properly or use them at all.

Man, that place is crazily disgusting. Thought of it makes me wanna puke.

Folanre:
@ Tolu,  good write-up, irrespective of the criticism it has generated so far. I will only opined that u come up with antidote(s) that will help us deal incisively with the misdeamenour you have raised.

Thank you. I really want to change my world but at the same time we can all find ways of making this better.

Seun:
First of all, the whole of Nigeria is not as dirty as you describe.  Just some parts of Lagos, and Aba.

Aren't the peeps in Lagos and Aba Nigerians? 

Seun:
People throwing things out of their vehicles: yes, that's bad, but it's not the reason we have floods in Lagos.

Lol. Sincerly, after I submitted and read the post, I noticed the dirt causing flood part and wanted to change the 'leads to floods' part to 'contribute to floods'. I should have done that, took nairalanders habits for picking out every word, letter and analysingit for granted.



To those asking what I have done to change the situation:

I wish It could be honestly said that I have taken concrete steps to making a change but that would be lying.
If it's any good, Recycling and waste management is one of the areas i'm looking into (for about 3 years now) and  would surely make an impact soon.

Epiphany, my feelings exactly. We can all make a change in our different little ways

I'm not used to making lenghty replies so please don't think I'm skirting issues o. I'll be back

We Nigerians must be the filthiest people in the whole universe. Honestly, I don’t know how we think. You could be on the road driving or bring driven only for you to notice things being thrown out of a moving vehicle. It’s so annoying! Can’t the dirt wait until you get to your destination and then be disposed of properly?

A lot of us are guilty of this, rich and poor alike because I’ve noticed people roll down their air conditioned cars and throw things out. Utter madness! It is called in my books. Who are you throwing it out for to pick up? Mother Nature in the form of winds or rain? Well, I got news. Mother Nature does not know how to use waste bins either so she just clears it off her path and delivers it to the nearest gutter or canal. This leads to all the floods we experience on the streets of Lagos every time it rains, a great place for malaria breeding mosquitoes to raise their progeny and a huge odour manufacturing plant –it does us absolutely no good and it makes us look like animals.

If you are guilty of this, please inculcate the habit of using waste bins. The dirt won’t turn itself into a rabid dog and bite off your head if it’s held onto until you get to your destination. Let’s keep our environment clean, it’s for a common good.


Need I start on how we pass feces? My goodness, it’s almost as though toilets are unheard of in this country. Traveling in a danfo gives one a panoramic view of things. There are some pieces of land in the Adeniji area that the Lagos state government is trying to reclaim and is currently going through the beautification and landscaping program. The places yet untouched are sites where you must not place your eyes at any given time because if you do, guaranteed, you’ll find grown men and women at different spots squatting and shitting! I sincerely pity the people who have to transform those places into sites of beauty. I heard the government actually employs area boys to do the beautification and landscaping jobs but I hope the governor, commissioner or whoever is in charge of the beautification, engages the people who actually live there - and have made the soil fertile from human waste – to do the cleaning up. Nobody who did not contribute to that dump should be made to go through the horrors of  transforming the place.

Another spot I have noticed is the space between the bridge and houses when you want to link the third mainland bridge from Obalende garage. You’ll find grown men with their pants around their ankles seated on the guard rails passing crap like it is the most natural thing in the world to do! In broad daylight!! Grown men!!

I could go on and on and on but I'm going to take a chill pill now.

We need massive reorientation in this country from the youngest fetus to the oldest corpse.

How true is this November batch thing?

Ur explanation is not good enough jare. I doubt if any explanation can make us females feel better about this

HR.hotness:
What I find most irritating is that you're friends with a guy (sometimes, a relationship is the last thing on your mind), u guys hang out and talk all the time. He calls regularly, can't get enough of talking to u and hanging out with u. . . then he goes cold turkey, no communication whatsoever, starts avoiding u even. Rather than stress too much, I move on accepting the ride has come to an end. . .  What pisses me off is that the bastards come back after they’ve had their fill, acting like nothing happened and expecting to carry on from where you stopped.

LOL, this shit happens ALL the time, still happened to me last week. A good friend of mine just switch off for no apparent reason. Anytime I call or wheneva he's online, he answers in monosyllables. I closed his chapter quick quick only for him to call yesterday sounding all cheerful and everything. Unfortunately for him, now the begger has become the begged: my time to go incommuniado  

And a friend of mine once dated this guy who was so fond of dis nonsense. I exhausted all my defenses for the guy, in order to make my friend feel all better. Stupid arse men!

carmelily:
really?? you obviously don't need much convincing.

Honestly? I don't.

ife-eco-06:
FIRST CLASS & WEALTH: It's a pity some people have smuggled this DEFEATIST ARGUMENT into this topic. The topic is not DO FIRST CLASS STUDENT END UP BEING RICH,GREAT ETC? The thread starter only wants to know TOP SECRETS OF FIRST CLASS STUDENTS please.

Rightly said. I also noticed this trend and was getting pissed off. This is not a topic related to graduating with good grades and getting great jobs as well.
Let's not lose focus people

Funny thing is, most of the people that have contributed to this topic are male. This has just proven to me that guys are more brilliant.

It has all been said: DETERMINATION, PLANNING, DETERMINATION, PLANNING to top those, GOD! GOD!! and more GOD!!!

I set my goal from day one that I wanted to graduate with a 2.1 - I got my goal. With hindsight now, I know for sure that if I had decided on a first class, I would have got that also.

So determination is the key.

To the guys who calculated their G.P every other day My goodness, I still remember all my courses and the scores i made. Doubt if I can ever forget. I calculated my G.P ALL the time

soloqy:
like electronic chips or something of that nature abi?

Yes o or something yet unheard of. My expectations were high as per the book.

One major issue I have with GUS 5 is the type of book the lost chronicle finally turned out to be.

One would have thought a book from the year 3005 (abi wetin be the year again sef?) would look much different from the regular books we have now. What with the flying cars they showed in their animated srory, shouldn't books of that time be way different from what we have now? 

Is this a joke or what?

Ajuwaya!

Gamine:
@Candy, i saw you asked for the meaning of my sig
