Ashantiking: Nigerian economy is too big to grow fast. Damn comedians always making light of serious case. Too big to grow. Boi u 3 much.

justinlmj: facebook is down now..


Facebook’s main site was down
worldwide on Friday afternoon, the
second major outage in less than two
months.
Users began reporting outages shortly
after 4pm UK time, but unlike June’s
collapse, the failure was spotty at first,
with some users reporting continuous
access well past 5:15.

Many users of the site were instead
confronted with an error page reporting
that “the requested URL could not be
retrieved”.
Sites that use Facebook IDs as login
tokens were also affected by the outage,
leaving users unable to log in to services
such as Skype for the duration of the
downtime.

June’s outage was the longest for four
years, with the site completely
unaccessible for more than 31 minutes.
Whether or not this outage counts as
longer depends on what time one counts
it as starting at.

jeremolar: tnx boss

CrudeGH: hahahaha the Ghanaian economy is still growing at close to 7%, even more than the growth in your own economy. so what are you talking about? what is the rate of economic growth in your country? some you people are simply too gullible, walahi!

McStoic: Dear Nairalanders, how advisable is it converting your favourite, normal sized sim into a micro sim line? I just got a HTC One X (unlocked international version) which i intended using with my MTN line. Am now in a dilemma cos am afraid of cutting it to micro sim since i usually swap phones when network and low battery palaver arises. Should i go ahead and cut my MTN Sim or do it with another network and end up carrying multiple phones around? Also, which network is the best for an android user? Thanks in advance.

Mushood: Can be working like twitter and facebook cos of its educative and informative feature unlike bbm, also u shouldn't forget to add chatting to it to enhance its productivity.

aryzgreat: Had similar experience in lagos (around oke-afa bridge, isolo)

Was strolling past and a haggard looking man holding 5 litres jerrycan approached me and started explaining while pointing towards d bridge, that he was rushing his old woman to the hospital on emergency and the vehicle just stopped before the bridge due to fuel. i asked where is d vehicle, he pointed towards the bridge and i did not see any vehicle, but due to the anxiety written all over his face, i was moved to give him 1k, he prostrated flat on the road thanking me. I left as he dashed across the road as if he was going to buy fuel.

3 days later, around that same axis, this tym dia was a serious hold up, i was strolling towards Jakande and i saw d man telling to a man d same story, i was very angry, i had to rush and tell him that d man is a scammer, immediately he saw me he started cursing in yoruba 'oloriburuku etc' i decided to spoil show for him that day and lie waiting for his next move, he crossed to d other side of the road and started scamming another passerby, as d man was about bringing money from his pocket, i quickly dashed towards them and shouted that he is a thief, the passerby was confused, i raised my voice and some touts and conductors gave him a hot chase. They caught him and dragged him back, they asked him to take them to the so called mother that he said is in d vehicle, he said it was all a ploy to evoke sympathy, he was beaten mercilessly that day, his shirt torn and d 5 litre container matched flat by the touts.

ritux: I hope this is in the right section.

Just yesterday 28th July, I was driving towards Gwarinpa, there is this flyover bridge that turns directing you towards Gwarinpa/Kubwa express road if you are coming from Nnadi Azikiwe express way.

As I was driving round the bridge turning towards Kubwa, I saw this car parked by the side of the road with the bonnet open and there was this guy dressed with the complete NYSC uniform stranded. Out of pity, I pulled over and the guy ran to me. Without asking, he told me he just ran out of fuel and that he doesn't have any cash with him.

I decided to help and I asked him how we gonna do it. He said he has a keg in his car. So I told him to get it because I was actually heading towards the new NNPC mega station to get petrol for my car and my generator before getting home. Just as I came down from the bridge, he said there is a place close by he can get to buy from black market since it will be difficult for him to come back. So I stopped and gave him 700 naira. He thanked me and came down. As I was going, I looked through my mirror and I saw him trying to cross to the opposite side of the road.

Fast forward to today 29th July, I was driving through same route and saw same guy dressed with same NYSC uniform on same spot with his bonnet open again. Immediately he saw me, he turned his face. I pulled over and started reversing. He started waving to me to go. The next thing, he jumped into his car and speed off heading towards Kubwa. I chased him but could not get him him because I entered into the fast lane and he was on the service lane. After I passed him, he turned into some street and I could not come.

I think he just stands there extorting money from people. But I know one day, I will catch up with him again.

Abuja residents beware. This are the types that can pretend to be NYSC members by putting on the uniform and rob unsuspecting citizens on the highways.

stagger: OP,
There is hardly a day you do not see a car broken down at that particular flyover. As a rule I do not stop. I just drive past. People have been robbed in such manner. Shine ya eyes o!

Bantino: Hahahahaaaaa

TYPES OF SLAPS

1. TAKE AWAY SLAP: When someone gives you a dirty slap and all you can do is hold your
face and walk away.



2. RESOUNDING SLAP: This is after you are hit, you keep on hearing some funny sounds in
your brain like"wiiiiiiiiiii"! And voices in your head will start singing Christmas Carol.



3. FORMATTING SLAP: This is the slap that makes someone forget instantly what he or she
was doing. You find yourself asking questions like,"What did I do?"



4. EXPLANATION SLAP: When someone gives you this kind of slap, you find yourself explaining the situation to the nearest person on your own accord e.g. Bros! Are you watching? I didn't do anything o!



5. FIXED DEPOSIT SLAP: When you receive this kind of slap, all you will do is just stand right
where you are and watch the person walk away with your mouth opened widely.



6. RHETORICAL SLAP: The moment you download this slap, you start asking questions that don't need reply. Like,"John,YOU SLAPPED ME?!"



7. SWEET SLAP: This is the type of slap a boy/girl gives you sweetly on your cheek and hether it's painful or not, you start blushing.



8. MATHEMATICAL SLAP: This simply has to do with the physical reconstruction of your face
when given to you; the length of your face will be raised to power two, your eye socket will calculate its circumference.



9. CHERUBIM AND SERAPHIM SLAP: When you receive this slap (it proves effective when it's
given to you all of a sudden),you will be able to combine and speak all sort of languages same time like Spanish,Greek, Arabic, Hindu, etc



10. COLOUR RIOT AND BIRDING SLAP: You will start seeing different colours and your head will turn to a nest whilst the birds will be flying all around you.



11. RETURN LEG/RECIPROCAL SLAP: It's the type of slap when someone slaps you and you return
the slap immediately...



12. MILITARY/BOKO HARAM SLAP: Once this slap lands on your face, you will start urinating on
your clothe.

Share the kind of slap you've received before

FlirtyKaren: I just found the post the Founder of Trinity House, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, made on his church's official Facebook page, claiming he has found a solution to the deadly Ebola disease, which has killed no fewer than 670 people and infected more than 1,000 in Africa.

Ighodalo says that God’s “anointing” and the “living words of Jesus,” were all that are needed to cure the deadly disease. He is drawing inspiration from the late Canadian–American Pentecostal pastor, John D. Lake, who, according to him, cured those infected by the virus. He says he can perform the same feat as Lake who reportedly laid hands on some Africans infected by the Ebola virus and healed them. Read their post after the cut.

However, Ighodalo’s claim attracted angry reactions from Nigerians who accused him of misleading members of the public on the dangers posed by the deadly virus. Which is capable of putting more Nigerians at risk of contracting the virus.

Adrenaline123: Eight people have been confirmed killed by suspected members of the Boko Haram sect in Katarko town in Yobe State.

Katarko is 22 kilometers south of Damaturu, the state capital and a community in Gujba Local Government Area of the state.

It is regarded as one of the strongholds of Boko Haram insurgents in the state.

Eyewitnesses told our correspondent that the insurgents stormed the town at about 7:30pm on Monday evening and operated unhindered till 2.00am on Tuesday.

The attackers, according to the eyewitnesses went straight to the military base in the town and later entered the town, shooting sporadically and eventually killed eight people.

“They came here and launched an unsuccessful attack on the military base before embarking on selective killings within the town.

Eight people are presently being prepared for burial, one of the eyewitnesses named Modu told The Nation.

It was also gathered that the insurgents vented their anger on the bridge linking Buni Yadi and Damaturu where a section of it was blown off.
