PoliticsRe: Buhari Must Be Screened If He'll Be The Petroleum Minister - Senators by tomdon(m):
what instrument; ancient or modern, did vanguard use to measure the perceived strong indication?
but if the report is true,
the president should be above all scrutiny in this regard because he has the mandate and by implication competence reposed in him by the citizens, moral justification and security pass mark to handle any portfolios.

one would be tempted to assume that the block head law makers should already know this.


but then, this really seems like a case of battle line being drawn rather than them focusing on sieving out undeserving nominees and focusing on competence.

well, its because most of them are also corrupt.

what is even delaying the trials of fashola and amaechi.

PoliticsRe: Names Of Buhari's 22man Entourage To New York by tomdon(m):
- 22 people is too much. he doesn't need that much.

- buhari is not fighting corruption, he's rather fighting saraki and other perceived political enemies.

- if buhari keeps company of people like amaechi and co. instead of kickstarting their prosecution, then buhari is yet to start the war against corruption and the conclusion will be that he's a liar

FamilyRe: I'm Having Doubts About Getting Married Next Month by tomdon(m): 8:12am On Sep 14, 2015
Squig:
@ all, the new guy or my man are not rich, just average guys. I met the new guy when my man and I had an issue and we didn't talk for almost 3 months and I thought that was the end even though we've agreed to marry before then. the wedding issue has been dragging on for a long time and I got fed up. I believe he's scared of losing me that is why he demanded we get married now.

I'm not a bad person or cheat, my man was my first. I just feel this new guy really cares about me and he's optimistic about having me in his life.

PS. the new guy doesn't know we've worked out our differences and we are not dating officially, we just spend a lot of time together and he's talking about getting married.
wake up and smell the coffee
that this guy is talking about marriage doesn't mean you're the one he cherishes.
who told you the Ist guy doesn't want to loose you when there are many fishes in the ocean? its even in your best interest to go ahead with your Ist!!!

RomanceRe: Is This Enough Reason To Quit The Relationship? by tomdon(m):
alexistaiwo:
Had a heated argument with my girlfriend today. In the course of exchanging words she said that she is always approached by guys better than me, guys I can never compare to. she made it sound as though she is doing me a favour by dating me.

Though I love her and she loves me too, some words are relationship deal breakers. I just can't get that statement out of my head even after much apologies and crying on her part.
approach is different from date.
that a guy approaches a girl doesn't mean he can live with or even date d girl.
so in this case, its the bird in hand that's the very bird she has
she obviously is not really in love with you because its you that she should see as the best
TV/MoviesRe: Will Smith's Terrible Nigerian Accent As Dr. Bennet Omalu In "Concussion” by tomdon(m): 11:04am On Sep 01, 2015

https://www.that1960chick.com/wp-content/uploads/Will_Smith_Concussion_Movie_Trailer_Video.png

Will Smith stars in the new movie Concussion which is the real-life story of Nigerian-American doctor Bennet Ifekandu Omalu, the doctor who first discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy (or CTE) after he conducted an autopsy on former NFL player Mike Webster. The movie follows Omalu’s struggle to get NFL executives to recognise the life threatening disease.

The movie is set for release in December.

While watching the movie trailer which was just released the one thing that struck me was Will Smith’s terrible “Nigerian” accent.


I do not know any Nigerian or Nigeria/American that speaks with the accent Will Smith is using in this movie. The accent sounds very East/Southern African to me. I would have expected an actor of Will Smith’s caliber to have done thorough research before taking on a movie like this and not followed the path of other mediocre actors who have also wrongly portrayed the Nigerian accent on film.

Surely it can’t be that hard to find Nigerians in America…I am disappointed…Big Willy fell my hand.

Americans need to realize Africans don’t all have the same accent…

Watch the trailer below & you decide if he nailed the Nigerian accent or not. I have also included a video of Bennet Omalu so you can listen for yourself & compare the accents.

Concussion Trailer:

PoliticsIndian Ambassador Exposes Ex-petroleum Minister's Shady Deal by tomdon(op): 7:00pm On Aug 23, 2015
The Indian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ajjampur R. Ghanashyam, has revealed some of the shady deals that has inhibited the country's oil transaction under the watch of former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Allison Madueke. According to a report by Daily Trust, the former petroleum minister failed to sign a long-term agreement with New Delhi, Nigeria’s Number One oil buyer, so as to indulge intermediaries in the annual $14 billion deal. In the report, the high commissioner gave a full detail of how the former minister ensured funds from the oil deal between the two countries are paid to intermediaries and not directly to the government coffers. ' From other countries, when we buy oil, whatever we want to pay, we pay to the Ministry of Finance of that country. In Nigeria, we pay to intermediaries. We would like to be dealing directly with the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). It’s not a good thing. Why should we go through intermediaries? Secondly, we would also like to have long term agreement, which we have with many countries: Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other countries from where we buy oil. Nigeria is the only country with whom we don’t have an agreement. .. When we write a letter to NNPC, we don’t get a response.' Furthermore, Ghanashyam revealed that aside the lack of long-term agreement between the two countries on crude oil purchases, an Indian company, Oil & Natural Gas Commission Videsh Limited (OVL) and Mittal Energy International, applied for oil concession in 2006 but are yet to get the permission nor $25m signature bonus, which was paid by the company. In his words, 'How many years is it? Nine years. Even to get the concession is not possible, and the money is not refunded to us. For nine years your country has been sitting on this, and they make us go round and round and round. 'We buy $15 billion worth of crude oil per year and we have the potential of importing $50 billion worth of crude oil from Nigeria. We can buy more because our requirement is going up. But if you continue to make us to pay through agents, and continue to ask us to buy from the swap market, it means you don’t trust us, and if you don’t trust us, we have to look for those who trust us more. 'We are making concessions to Nigeria by buying your crude oil because you’re our old friends and we’ve been friends for a long time, and your crude oil is better quality. But you must take our interest into account,'he revealed further. However, Daily Trust reports that investigation conducted at the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Abuja revealed that the letter for the signature bonus was prepared by the department, but the former minister failed to sign it until the end of the tenure of the Jonathan administration. Meanwhile, the NNPC 2014 Annual Statistical Bulletin indicated that India bought 136,419,844 barrels of crude oil, at a time when the United States’ own purchases from Nigeria was 24,047,758.

Its really worth it because its going to be yours for life and its not a LEASE!
Its very straight forward from ikorodu round about.
Enter any Cab or Bus going to Isiu igboro, its usually between 50 to 100 naira.
what makes it agricultural land and still close to so called proposed oba's palace.
and plot of agricultural land sold for 700,000 is ambiguous to say the least. I wonder what bus will take you 50 naira to isiu from ikorodu round about.

EducationRe: Rise And Take It By Force Jambites by tomdon(m): 5:25am On Aug 17, 2015
queenzibah:
This is time to march it toe to toe with jamb/dibu , I'm not a jambite and even our last born will be a graduate by next year but to me this is of a grate consign to me. Jamb is as useless as useless itself , I don't know where to put them. This last push by jamb is truncating will and freedom of a citizen , and must not allow to hold. Check 98% of transfer from their main choice of school lands to PRIVATE university mean no admission for them because 60% of them can not pay the private school fees when compare to federal university. Also many of those courses in private uni. Have not been approve by NUC. Many will be moved out from their region against their will and freedom.

I believe its time to end and close jamb for good, I can say or compare any other country that makes educational system so hard like nigerian education , still we are not among the best 1000 or even 3000 in the world.

I believe its time to rise up and chase out jamb for good.

Jambites rise up and to what is right now or face more hardway that is on the way for your education.

We graduates should also help them in any way , and legally to eliminate jamb for good.

Believe me jamb is more corrupt than NNPC.

School have to organise their admission so our children and friends can have thousands of choice to enter school once after their WAEC.

Rise nigerians, and if you feel there is a better option please drop it here. Thanks.
