Kirinwa:
This is borne out of concern over poison issues associated with such drinks especially in Nigeria.

lord have mercy.

Let me keep the card to my chest, I'll reveal how I knew in the Fullness of Time.

yorubatic:
My people has turn the sophisticated odua nation to laughing stock...

That's interesting.

richardomoko:
The next governor may be from old Bendel (Delta/Edo) or old Anambra (Enugu/Anambra) states

Did you see Oyo state on the list yet?

Candyrain:
I know of Tinubu (Osun) and Ambode (Ondo),

And how do you "know" that?

gay thread.

Where is the evidence attached to these claims of the Lagos governors being from elsewhere? Do the people involved in these claims, agree to the same?

Was an enquiry ever launched to investigate the authenticity of the "jamb document" which was all over the internet at some point.

ronald4lif:
I'm trying to figure out how ladies found in these places are different from the ones found in other venues. The lady you might see in buka or mama put might not be able to afford top restaurants so she settles for the cheaper meal. I can't address the points one after the other but any lady can be found in these places on almost an even scale. Even the Jezebel.

The idea that a homely lady is someone who doesn't revel in a particular act or visit certain places is more holier and wife-able than others is obsolete and has no bearing. If anyone still harbours the mentality that a lady who attends church programs almost everyday of the week is better than the ones who hardly does they should dismiss it.

much as one would want to deny this, one simply can't.

It is guys like me that jump off a building, or hang themselves, and leave people wondering what went wrong. Must everything be serious? Must people only give time to problems? Na wa for me o!

see your life on top polygamy.

Markets take a wild ride: Dow plummets, bounces back, then plummets again

After an unprecedented 1,000-point decline at the open on Monday, the Dow closed with a loss of nearly 600 points.

It was an extremely turbulent day for U.S. stocks driven by deep fears about China's economic slowdown. Stocks staged a comeback that nearly brought the Dow back into positive territory but that ultimately failed. The 588-point decline was the worst for the Dow since August 2011.

Global fears about China's economic slowdown are shaking stock markets around the world for a second week in a row. The wave of selling knocked the S&P 500 into correction mode for the first time since 2011 and the Dow to its lowest close in a year and a half.

Within minutes after the opening bell, the Dow plummeted 1,089 points. That is the largest point loss ever during a trading day, surpassing the Flash Crash of 2010. We have not seen this level of full-blown panic in markets for quite some time," said Peter Kenny, chief market strategist at Clear Pool Group, a financial technology firm. Stock prices for a number of iconic American companies declined dramatically in an instant. Shares of General Electric (GE) and Pepsi (PEP) crashed more than 20% apiece at one point, while Costco (COST) fell 16%.

Dramatic declines caused stocks and exchange-traded funds to be automatically halted by stock exchanges more than 1,200 times on Monday, according to Nasdaq. It all started with Shanghai's 8.5% drop.The dramatic selling began overseas. China's Shanghai Composite plummeted 8.5%, wiping out all of its massive gains so far this year. Not only has an apparent bubble in Chinese equities popped, but the country's economy may be slowing much faster than feared. Last week's big selloff gathered serious momentum after China said its manufacturing activity -- a critical metric on growth -- tumbled to a six-year low in July.



China is the world's second-biggest economy. Its explosive growth in the last two decades has been the engine for the global economy. Its enormous appetite for raw materials like oil, copper and iron ore fueled global growth, especially in emerging markets like Brazil that are rich in natural resources. But that story has been completely derailed by China's economic slowdown. Just how much China slows down matters greatly to investors around the world.Fears about the health of China's economy have ratcheted up to the point that the S&P 500, made up the largest U.S. companies, is now sitting in "correction" territory -- a 10% decline from a recent peak. Both the Dow and Nasdaq fell into correction mode on Friday, the first since 2011. It's worth remembering that these steep losses come after a tremendous bull run for stocks.

The S&P 500 has skyrocketed 220% since bottoming out at 666 during the Great Recession in March 2009. Even at its lows on Monday, it was at 1,866.86. Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic adviser at Allianz, believes longer term the correction will be a healthy thing for the market.
"It will bring financial markets closer to what's justified by fundamentals. Therefore, there will be less of a risk of a financial collapse down the road," El-Erian told CNN.


Oil continues downward march too


Crude oil plunged below $39 a barrel on Monday for the first time since 2009. It settled at $38.24 a barrel. A global economic slowdown is eating into demand for oil at a time when supplies remain extremely elevated. Another sign of fear: The 10-year Treasury yield slid below 2% on Monday. That's the lowest level since April and a sign that investors are fleeing to the relative safety of American government debt.
It also signals that Wall Street believes the Federal Reserve may have to delay its expected interest rate hike from September until later in the year or even 2016.



Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, believes the selloff has created an opportunity for investors "with the stomach to jump in." "I think we'll see the markets make a comeback. The fundamentals of the U.S. economy remain good, especially compared with everybody else," Yardeni said. That would mean the bull market that began more than six years ago will survive. The S&P 500 would need to close below 1,708 to be classified a bear market, which is defined as a 20% decline from a previous high. The S&P closed at 1,893. Germany, on the other hand, tumbled into a bear market on Monday.

aye9ice007:
Even fashola is from osun state, igbajo to be precise...op check well

according to Nairaland, Fashola is from Ekiti State.

Yes @ thread title.

was any enquiry ever made into the alledged jamb application which was widely circulated online and especially on nairaland just prior to the elections?

who leaked it and how did the "info" get into public circulation?

here's what some folks are positing:





Jakande is from Kwara state

Tinubu is from Osun state

Fashola is from Ekiti state

Ambode is from Ondo State


where do you think they are going with this.

.

.

is it still on?

so why are you bothered by others expressing their own opinion or are you the only person with a keyboard?

My question remains, why that level of vile towards someone you don't even know and have never met?

work on yourself!

if you can be this hostile towards a random picture then I wonder what you will do to or say about actual people!

Homorlayor20:
may God bless you,since this is the best advice i can get from an adult like you

here's another advice you'd probably prefer:

Rukkydelta:
You can check if the hymen is still intact but not with a mirror by yourself but i suggest you ask a female to help you out

does the husband look like a saint though, he doesn't.

PunkyVeer:
What idea is that?

And to the guy who said I'm priding myself because of makeup blah blah blah. I'm not ashamed of myself & will be proud with or without makeup because I don't need makeup to look presentable.

neither does the person you were insulting!

do you know her from somewhere (fat chance) or why the vile?

seeking male attention shouldn't require that level of hostility from you.

the person you are even trying to impress, is not that picky sotay you must attack other females because he is talking to you!

you folks can just never be satisfied as you monitor other people's lives.

someone gets a job, you are angry, someone doesn't get a job, you are angry.

this is nairaland(a forum for the intelligent)

haha, funny.
