What year is that?
Sorry!!! Saw the yr naw

@ gaby

I advise u to invest ur money somewhere else.
Trucking biziness is a very lucrative biziness and it yields very quick returns but U have to be very deep into it for u to see any of those returns. First of all the drivers would rob the bejesus out of U. And God save U if any of the spare parts gets worn out and needs to be replaced. The drivers quickly connive with the mechanics and use inferior parts but charge u at the price of the genuine ones. And there is a huge difference my brother, for instance a center bearing from Brazil would cost about fifteen thousand naira while an inferior one from China would just go for say 3000 naira. So apart from them ripping u off, they are also wearing down ur trucks due to frequent maintenace. Ol boy, I could go on and on

However, if U insist u still wanna have something to do with trucks cos U have a source for it, I advice U to consider bringing in those trucks and selling them to local truck companies who have the time , energy and experience to manage trucking biziness. I know a couple of truckers that would be intersted in buying second-hand trucks for thier company.

The Minister of Education, Dr. Igwe Aja-Nwachuku, on Wednesday said that it was lamentable that 11 million children of school age were still roaming the streets in the country.

Aja-Nwachuku stated this at a press conference where he inaugurated the 2008 Education for All Week with the theme “Quality education to end exclusion.”

In April 2000, Nigeria joined over 170 countries that met in Dakar, Senegal to reaffirm their commitment to deliver Education for All by 2015.

The minister said that the 11million children were part of over 80 million children worldwide who were out of school.
He said that the article further broke down the figure to show that 4.7 million were of primary school age while 5.3 million were of secondary school age.

The minister said that the article also indicated that 62 per cent of the children out of school were girls while 38 per cent were boys.

@ manmustwac
The highlighted words is for ur viewing pleasure  

@ topic
Should we call for Prof Grange's head  

Is this MayKelly Igbo?

Anyway the average of 40, 60 and 90 is actually 50 and not 43. So from ur research the average Igbo man gets married @ the age of 50

@ AJ
Most people I know that were born in Nigeria had thier vaccinations in Nigeria, including moi. I assume that should be the case for u too.

Akolawole:
Efo sodje went with Nigeria to the world cup despite playing in a lower division.

And it still bugs me how he ended up in the team. That guy cant pass the ball to save his own life.

About Kayode,
He has not made the team, at least not yet. Never heard of him until he scored that goal against Chelsea. Does that make him earn a national call-up? Only a joker in the name of a coach would think so. And the NFA has this uncanny penchant of hiring jokers in the name of coaches. Do they even have reason(s) for hiring and firing coaches? They fired Amodu sometime ago and now they are re-hiring him. Are they going to tell us the difference between the Amodu they fired and this particulalr Amodu they are hiring?

I looked at his list for the name of Joseph Akpala. I dont know the guy but anytime I check african goal scorers of the week , his name always pops up. Right now I believe he is the leading scorer in Belgium. No-one is calling him up. Kayode scores one goal against Chelsea, he earns a call up.

So what exactly is the problem here?

[color=#990000][/color]The relationship ended today Theres no need to reply to this thread.
Thank everyone that gave advise.

I hope U ended the relationship based on what U know and not based on what U think or what others are making U think.

tundewoods:
Quite an interesting scam concept i must confess !I[b] almost fell for it after reading the initial thread[/b].

How? This has scam written all over it that u can smell it miles away.

First post got me thinking  but the second post of the lap top rush nailed it for me.

This thread has entirely deviated from the point. Extremisim has taken over and everything is in complete chaos.

Please stop calling people names if they happen to have differing opinions. No one can be entirely right or wrong at all times, abegi.

I am really at sea on how to call this situation.

If this guy is playing some hanky panky games with the girl , first thing he would do is make sure he does not get caught.
So, his not calling from Nigeria does not make sense. If he is stringing the girl along, u would think that he would be calling the girl every day to make sure he does not give her any room to entertain suscipions.

Now if the Nigerian girl he is living with is his wife (or wife to be), then he cant be getting married in Nigeria. Unless if he is playing both girls. Unlikely if u ask me.

U really cant say anything substantive based on the information the lady has just divulged. Did she even mention how long they have dated?

Kobojunkie:
You are a "pessimist" cause you do not see all the good that yar adua has done in that country to date. Might I add that you are also pro-white for the statements above!! LMAO!!!

This is not an indictment on the Yar Adua's administration. This is more to the past admin especially the Obj-led one. That guy had the opportunity to at least set Nigeria onto the road of some economic stability.
As for the Yar Adua led- admin, I just siddon dey look. Time would tell if he is actually what we need. But I wont be surprise if it is all bark, bark and no bite. A bad government is usually the norm rather than the exception in Nigeria.

Kobojunkie:
Chai!!! Due process. Rule of law, I wonder what is next , LMAO!!

It is actually sad. Very sad. A country that is filled with plenty potentials but taken down the drain by the gargantaun greed of our so - called leader. Nigeria is a gold mine. The resources are there, the personnel abundant. All the Government need do is just put in the enabling environment. Thats not asking for too much. Put in a reliable source of power (which the citizerns would pay for  meaning more revenue), constant power supply (more revenue for the govt), link cities with roads . Then sit down and watch Nigeria grow into an industrialist nation.

We are yet to see the yields of the "smaller money" that was allocated to the agric sector. Obj came out with his due process and of course we were optimistic. How wrong were we?

I would not be excited if the govt increases funds to the agric sector by 80 percent . That does not mean it is going to the agric sector.

Kobojunkie:
Considering this problem has been about a year or two in the making, is there any indication that the government has already made plans to pump more money into agriculture??

The problem is not about "more money". The problem is making sure that the "little" money allocated to the agric sector is actually used for the agric sector. Chances are that it ends up in the bank account of one politician.

A question please:
Is the Federal Govt still subsidizing the price of fertilizers for farmers?

LASIEFAIRE:
@uche2nna
I see where you are coming from, but the prospect of BA being suspended might make them pay the fine, because Nigeria is a very lucrative route.

Yeah. If the Nigeria government can get them to do that, then that would be getting them to admit that they screwed up. Which is good for Nigeria.
But please, You guys should not miscontrue other people's opinion here. Nobody is saying thumbs up to the BA for doing what they did. We are just saying that we know why they could do that. And the ultimate solution would be to address the "why's rather than pick out some isolated incident(s)

LASIEFAIRE:
Elosela
what many in here are trying to say is that Yaradua is doing the right thing even though it might not be the most pressing or most important. Yes, there are other more important issues we hope that Yar'dua will address those in due time. Sometimes we need to cut a slack for the government, commend them when they do something right, while still making them aware of other issues. But totally critisizing the government for everything even the good, seems to me to be something that drives a regressive progress.

We are saying the primary cause of a disease is a better target for treatment than the symptoms of that disease.

bawomolo:
fine based on the alleged of charges of mistreatment. i don't see how u can suspend BA based on customer service. many Nigeria airlines would be grounded if judged by the same criteria. there are bigger issues to deal with in my opinion.

My point is that the BA would not agree to the fact that they mistreated anybody. The only way they would be made to pay anything is if they were charged to court or sumnin' and that is if the verdict turns out in favor of Nigeria. I dont see the BA paying a lump of money to Nigeria just because the government said so. I might be wrong, anyway.

almondjoy:
Who is that fool looking for an address to teach his hemorrhoids a lesson?  Sorry I don't deal with hungry ragamuffins looking like multi-colored Onitsha market pigs from Nigeria. . . Please head to your village for your kind. . . you local smelling motor-park tout!

I should give you my address so you can come and loot ma garage. . . you hungry sufferhead like you! Get out of Nigeria so you can feed well at KFC at least.

Almond!!! Alomond!!!!!

Leave my place out of this  

bawomolo:
i personally believe a fine would be more appropriate, suspending BA operations seem absurd.

Excuse me? Fine? For what and based on what?

I can understand suspending BA operations in Nigeria. That would be a decision that NIGERIA took. Fining the BA is one thing is one thing. The BA paying up is another. If they pay up, it means that they agreed they screwed up.

4 Him:
Are you also going to argue that[b] hormones are antigens[/b]?   no go there at all. stunt ko, play ni.

Unless U wanna argue that growth factors are also antigens .

The cell's response to antigen binding is uaually production of antibodies and for the most part , antigens are seen as foreign to the body.

I am just curious here.

What sort of redress do we expect to get at the end of this investigation . (That is making the assumption that this investigation actually sees the light of day)

4 Play:
What great insight into the source(as una prefer am) of the polio vaccines do these degenerate Northern twats possess that nobody else possesses?

To be honest, I think it just borders on some sort of "the West vs  the Mu slim" thingy     Sound weird, right. They  have already had their minds educated towrds the idea that the west is anti-Is lam; they saw a possiblity to exploit that and they just took it.

Big B1:
Just because I'm crazy and I beat my mother every day doesn't me I will allow James across the street to touch her.

We have problems in Nigeria, but our pride must also be protected at all cost.

Again, bravo goes to Yar'Adua!

The analogies I am reading on this thread is mind boggling  

If u are crazy enuff to beat ur mum, I dont think u would care less if someone does. U are crazy, remenber?  

4 Play:
What great insight into the efficacy of the polio vaccines do these Northern clerics possess that the entire world lacks?

I dont think they are questioning the efficacy but they are definitely questioning the source

Big B1:
@bawomolo:

Yes, we must blame ourselves for part of the issue; but to condone Nigerian citizens being mistreated by foreign airlines is the beginning of  bastardism.

No one is condoning it. Investigations would not solve it either. We know how investigations go in Nigeria. Another committee formed , which to me are all avenues for politicians to make more money.

But if we start taking ourselves seriously, maybe other nations would begin to take us seriously.

LASIEFAIRE:
I acknowledge there are other factor involved in this, but I maintain sheer ignorance is the prevailing factor. bringing up a 1996 report is like an African American bringing up the case of Birmngham. That is in the past, it was recognized and it must have being taken well into account, so that it is not repeated[b]. Even if they provide alternatives the ignorant northerner will always be the ignorant northerner [/b] - everly thinking the south is against them

Actually if the alternatives were ratified by the so called Northern elders forum, the ordinary man on the streets of Kano would take thier word for it and take thier kids to be vaccinated. That probably comes around to ur point of Ignorance. They just do what they are told without questioning or without seeking explanations.

Thats my point. If u have taken any courses in RESEARCH ETHICS u would realize that most of these claims are not based on air. There are genuine reasons to be concerned.

N-joy:
And what you have written makes any sense to you? So because your house is leaking now - and there is a fault with your electiricty, you will because your house is leaking, leave out the fact that you also have to sort your electiricity problem?

How do people reason like a fish so?

LMAO

But it is very logical to channel ur income towards mending ur roof . But it is not as if U cant do the two simulataneously, but if the two are linked , for instance U had a leaking roof which led to a disruption of ur power supply, U would wanna make sure that the roof is in good condition before U turn back on the power.

Kobojunkie
read the first post

"Nearly all the children paralyzed by polio are in northern Nigeria, where a yearlong boycott of the vaccine in 2003 triggered an explosion of the disease, which was exported to more than two dozen countries worldwide.

Hard-line Nigerian Great Religious clerics called for the boycott, claiming an immunization campaign was part of a US.-led plot to render Great Ones infertile or infect them with AIDS. The government finally reined in the boycott campaign, but up to 30 percent of children in the north have never had a single dose of vaccine, according to WHO."

The northerners are far to ignorant to start deducing not to take it because it fake. Them not taking it is as a result of messages from many ignorant Religious cleric.

U know I would not really blame them for  thier thoughts. But I would blame them for not providing an alternative. If they dont trust the West, then fine. It is not unusual and it is not out of place not to trust the western powers. But they should at least look else where for their vaccines. Maybe Saudi Arabia, Dubai or some other Nation they feel they can trust  

@ his-grace
I dont think so.

Cruel as it may sound , thats the reality facing Nigeria and Nigerians today. Whatever we are experiencing today is an effect of the HOLE WE HAVE DUG OURSELVES INTO. It is like the cause and effect thingy or the disease and symptoms thingy. U can treat the symptoms all U want but as long as U dont go for the root cause then all ur efforts are merely cosmetic.
