Family › Re: Is It Necessary To Spank Children? by Tonim(f): 6:27pm On Apr 27, 2008
The Sly:
You are right but i aint raising my kids in Nigeria.
Sly, why won't you raise your kids in Nigeria ? Someone said the same thing to me weeks ago. What are your reasons ?

Omode:
Speaking of marriage, what would a Nigeria family think of their eldest son in the USA marrying an American woman

Am neither American nor European, am dating and soon to be married to a Yoruba man, will it be really upsetting to his family?
Upsetting to his family because he is marrying a non-Nigerian ? Why do you think it might upset his family ?

Have you asked your fiancee about this ?

Politics › Re: Kwara Imports 800 Cows From SA. by Tonim(f): 8:41am On Apr 27, 2008
I would worry less about money laundering in this endeavor; Shonga farms is actually a private business, the money to be used to
purchase the cows are not coming from the Kwara state government. The farm took out loans from the banks used to finance
its operations.

Actually, the title should be "Shonga Farms (Kwara) Imports 800 Cows From Sa".

Source Please (though I believe your story is likely true)

Ibori is also an ex-felon from Nigeria. It was all exposed when Great Ogboru was appealing his gubernatorial candidacy.

Very funny story.

I am not surprised though, we are always copying western behavior.
Nairaland General › Re: See Nice Pictures Here by Tonim(f): 1:18pm On Apr 25, 2008
It was a rhetorical question.

Celebrities › Re: ----<judge Sentences Wesley Snipes To 3 Years For Tax Convictions>---- by Tonim(f): 1:04am On Apr 25, 2008
I think 3 years was a bit too much. I can't figure out why Snipes thought he could get away

with not paying his taxes as rich and as high profile as he is. Really sad indeed.
Car Talk › Re: Driver’s Licence: Lagos Setting A Dangerous Precedent – Frsc by Tonim(f): 11:35pm On Apr 24, 2008
Over centralization at the federal level in Nigeria is without a doubt holding us back. I think each state should

be in charge of issuing driver's licenses and license plates across the nation.

Why should a fed govt agency be issuing license plates for goodness sake undecided

Foreign Affairs › Re: Zimbabwe Has Roads? by Tonim(f): 10:49am On Apr 22, 2008
Kobojunkie:
I think for the very fact that these people are not in the news today, shows that it is more about what is going on than "white farmers". [b]Mind you, Egypt was back in the news some weeks ago cause of the elections and now for food shortage riots. Kenya is still in the news as there have been riots over recent weeks before the sharing of power agreement [/b]which was announced last week or so and there are no white farmer issues there.
Kobojunkie, you can't draw parallels between the Egyptian and Kenyan coverages and the Zimbabwean coverage because the Egyptian and Kenyan
coverage has since fiddled out (when was the last time the BBC covered the Egyptian food issue ?) while that of Zimbabwe has been nothing
short of consistent.

Haba, Zimbabwe even banned the BBC from covering their country, but they have continued unabated from South Africa.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Zimbabwe Has Roads? by Tonim(f): 10:24am On Apr 22, 2008
romeo:
My question is, why is Zimbabwe all over the news? we have more dictators in Africa, we have inflation in almost every African country, so why that craze for Zimbabwe? i need an answer to that
Zimbabwe is all over the news because the western media wants to put Mugabe in bad light for taking land from the white farmers.

If the western media really cared about the plight of africans, they would probably concentrate on countries like sudan & somalia. Ordinarily,
CNN, BBC and co could care less if Zimbabweans couldn't afford a loaf of bread or if the country was experiencing 1 million %
inflation per annum.

Many people living in the west didn't even know of a country called Zimbabwe until the white farmers issue came up. Now, a day
cannot go by without their media talking about the situation in Zimbabwe. That's western media for you.

Truequest:
Give the Yar'a a chance, be a great Nigerian wherever you are
A man has been in office for a year without any accomplishment(s), people are voicing concerns
about it but some how, some people have made this thread all about OBJ.

I guess what you are saying, truequest, is that 1 year is not enough time to be complaining ?

How long then do we have to wait to see results from the president ?
Travel › Re: Will Lagos Ever Be Like Abuja? by Tonim(f): 11:39am On Apr 21, 2008
Seun:
The purpose of making Lagos like Abuja is to benefit the people of Lagos, right? If you demolish their houses in an age where building is more expensive than ever, how does that benefit them? Such things only benefit the mega-rich, many of whom are based in Abuja (political connections).
It'll benefit the people as long as they are well compensated. This is how it is done all over the world.

[quote author=D-reloaded link=topic=128707.msg2173473#msg2173473 date=1208703961]anyway from the looks of things seems like you didnt have that great a boyfriend in general[/quote]My sister, you have hit it right on the nail !!

@SexxyNaija, the yoruba guy you were dating didn't like you that was why you were treated as such. I'm sure you
got this treatment towards the end of your relationship. Either that or that's just how he treats women
regardless of them being yoruba or not.

I also noticed that your first post on this forum was specifically on this thread. Welcome to Nairaland.

EKENEA:
send El Rufai to manage Lagos,then Lagos will be like Abuja.
Even this wouldn't work. Lots of places would have to be broken down and rebuilt for lagos to be like abuja
