Never said it.... probably never will haha but following thread

Guys

Irrespective of the fact that you might be against premarital sex, there are a couple of valid reasons to engage in some level of intimacy before you get married(if you are going to get married to the person):

1. Your spouse may be secretly homosexual and using use as a cover(both male and female). You do not want to be in this situation, seen it happen countless times and it never ends well. Your sex life is nonexistent, std's and you will probably fall into the sin you were trying to avoid.

2. Like op's first point you never want to be on the wrong side of smelly genetalia for the sake of your progeny. First hand experience trust me you will be scarred for life.

3. There has to be some level of sexual compatibility of your marriage is doomed to fail from the start. No matter how holy you claim to be you will still fall into temptation and most times being 'happily married' quenches the temptation

4. Impotence, etc

deybholar: I swear I am not the demanding type. I have don't bug whoever it is I am dating. I call him up most times for us to hang out and I pay. He's just the type who thinks he can't shoulder any responsibility. The painful part is I have tried severally to be stingy towards him but I can't. If I see something nice, I buy for him 1st without thinking of myself. There was a time a friend of mine was travelling out and I gave her $500 and a list to help me get some stuff for me and him. When she went throught the list and saw that the list contains more of things for him. She said "I hope he takes care of u as mmuch as u do for him". We were not even upto 5months in the relationship then.
Since I sold my ipad for his sake, I have not been able to buy it back.
The worst case was a day we fought for 200#. I was almost rounding up my youth service then and I asked him for 200# 2 take a bike to collect something from a friend, he didn't give me and he knew fully well that we both spent my last 3k on food n drinks d previous nightam he also knew my dad was gonna send me money that day but he said " I can't give u this money and have nothing in my pocket".
This was someone that was in my room oh and he had eaten so I wonder what the money in his pocket would do to him. I actually trekked that day.
I have so many instances but I don't want it to look like am painting him bad.
He's a very nice guy but this money part is what I can't deal with. He's d type that won't give his wife money to buy anything cos she can afford it.

@op do not go back on that breakup, that dude is oerly stingy.

CastingCrowns: wheneva i see guy i admire i feel scared to compliment,always cs i feel he may think am tripping real bad.....guys is it bad for girls to compliment ?and how d u feel if they do

awkward... i guess i was a late bloomer (still coming into my own).

damn first crushes

If good things always happened, people would not feel the need to turn to God; think about it. And "His" people almost never thank God when things are good but begin to blame and beg Him when things turn bad

My dad is 5"3 and the wealthiest dude in his village his brother is 5"10 and his kids are in the 6"7 -6"8 range but my dad raised them. Never let your height discourage you from achieving anything in life. People always underestimated him cos he was short and he just worked harder and harder and now they all kneel and beg for money from him. The irony of life btw I got some good genes from my moms family 5"11 so yh I am just mouthing

Maybe na closet Muslim
Christians living in sharia lands can't even gather to pray freely and here is a so called Christian turning a house of worship into a den of thieves.

You call yourself a Christian? What does Jesus teach about our enemies?

Damn she has expired

How anyone looks at the first picture without throwing up baffles me

I should be on the poll before some of the dudes here

queensmith: androgynous? i thought that defined the more superficial gender identity? and balance of hormones? hmmmm

Hermaphroditism on the other hand. . . . . . .then again he will know if he was one, plus in order for one to get pregnant they'd have a cervix no? so you will know you are woman and can get pregnant.

I didnt say he could get pregnant. I said it is ossible for him to have a uterus

[quote author=ekt_bear]Pregnant ke.

Biologically impossible.

He needs to stop seeking attention[/quote]Haha. It actually isnt biologically impossible. It can be an abnormality where a member of one sex possesses physical characteristics both internal and external, mainly reproductive organs, as members of the opposite sex. In this case, a womb. Haha look it up; this "dude" might be lying though. I think the person is described as androgynous.

harryakon: So u saying it is impossible for someone to find the right way in university and apply it to achieve academic success? Don't be parochial, change happens.

nah dude haha. I am not being parochial, I am only looking down on CU first class degree and intensity of their courses. A classmate of mine who was in the mid-percentile back in high school is also topping his class there at CU. So its either my secondary school is too good or CU is really bad.

Nice result. No A1 in English. lowly rated Adesoye students do better.

dude trust me, those english results are sold. i went to loyola jesuit and now i go to stanford university. I made an A1 in every subject including Hausa except english and no one has had an A1 for how many years now. Do not think its cos I dont know English; I got an A* in the Cambridge GCE O'level.

On another note, its because Rochas' daughter graduated a year above me from LJC that its one of the major locations in the east. Awesome dude, I have heard him speak a couple of times.

hahaha this is hilarious. the egem-odey guy went to my sec school and didnt even graduate top 40. Wow what can I say? Good for him though

The House of Representatives yesterday okayed 29 of the recomendations of its Ad-Hoc Committee on Subsidy Managment, thus giving its nod for the auditing and unbundling of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and sanctionioning of Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) ex-bosses for negligence.

Below are some of the approved clauses:

1.From the findings of this committee, the consumption level for 2011 is estimated at 31.5 million liters per day. However, in 2012 marginal increment of 1.5milion liters a day is recommended in order to take care of unforeseen circumstances, bringing it to 33 million liters per day. And to maintain a strategic reserve, an additional average of seven (7) million liters per day (or 630milllion litres per Quarter) for the first quarter of 2012 only is recommended. Thus, PPPRA is to use 40 million litres of PMS in the first quarter as its maximum ordering quantity per day. In subsequent quarters PMS daily ordering quantity should be 33 million litres per day. For kerosene, the Committee recommends a daily ordering quantity of 9 million litres.

2. With regards to the 445,000bpd allocation to NNPC to refine for local consumption, the Committee established that the allocation is sufficient to provide the nation with forty million litres per day for PMS and Ten million litres of HHK.

The above can be achieved conveniently through; SWAP arrangement, * Offshore processing, *Outright sale of 445,000bpd and or partial sale of the excess from the local refining capacity of 53%.

Therefore there is no reason for government to grant subsidy importation to any marketer.

Even though we have quoted 40 million litres as a liberal figure, in the course of monitoring the implementation of the subsidy regime the actual daily consumption will then be determined.

3 The NNPC should refund to the Federation Account, the sum of N310,414,963,613 (Three hundred and ten billion, four hundred and fourteen million, nine hundred and sixty three thousand, six hundred and thirteen naira only) paid to it illegally as subsidy for kerosene contrary to the Presidential Directive of July 29th, 2009 withdrawing subsidy on the product.

4 The Committee recommends that the NNPC should be unbundled to make its operations more efficient and transparent, and this we believe can also be achieved through the passage of a well drafted and comprehensive Petroleum Industry Bill. The Committee therefore urges the speedy drafting and submission of the bill to the National Assembly.

5 The Committee wishes to recommend that the House do direct for auditing of the NNPC to determine its solvency. This was as a result of plethora of claims of indebtedness and demand for payments by NNPC’s debtors which, if not well handled, will not only affect the entire economy of Nigeria, but also the supply and distribution of petroleum products.

Examples:

•Nigeria Customs Service =N46 billion

•Nigeria Ports Authority =N6billion

•Trafigura et al = $3.5billion

6. The House should direct the NNPC to stop any form of deduction not captured in the Appropriation Act before remittance to the Federation Accounts, and the Corporation should submit its transactions to the operational Guidelines of the Subsidy Scheme.

7. NNPC Retail, Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) and Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN) should be the outlets for the distribution of Kerosene to ensure availability and affordability of the product of Nigerians.

8.The NNPC should go also refund to the Federation Account the sum of NGN 285.098 billion being over-deductions as against PPPRA approvals for 2011. The Relevant Anti-Corruption Agencies should further investigate the Corporation for deductions for the years 2009 and 2010.

9.As postulated earlier in this report, data provided by NNPC and CBN tends to suggest that for 2009, 2010, and 2011, NNPC deducted subsidy payments from two different accounts. It is the recommendation of this Committee that Relevant Anti-Corruption Agencies conduct thorough investigations into this matter and where it is established that double withdrawals were made, the extra amounts should be paid back to the Treasury and thos involved prosecuted.

10.The Management and Board of the NNPC should be completely and all those involved in the following intractions be further investigated and prosecuted byt he Relevant Anti-Corruption Agencies.

a.Payment of N285.098 billion in excess of the PPPRA recommeded figure for 2011.

b. Subsidy deductions of N310,414,613 for kerosene against a presidential directive.

c. Direct deductions from funds meant for the Federation Account in contravention of Section 162 of the Nigerian Constitution.

d. Illegal granting of price differential (discourse) of crude oil price per barrel to NNPC to the tune of N108.648 billion from 2009 - 2011.

11. The relevant Anti-Corruption Agencies should carry out a due-diligence investigation tio determine the total demurge payments and outstanding incurred by NNPC for the period 2009 - 2011.

12. Under the PSF Scheme, importers especially NNPC should be mandated to patronize Nigerian Flagged vessels provided they produce the standard safety and sea-worthiness certificates in tune with International best practices.

13. All the payments which the PPPRA made to itself from the PSF account in excess of the approved administrative charges wihich were due to it under the Template should be recovered and paid back into the fund. The officials involved in this infraction shlould be further investigated/prosecuted by the relevant Anti-Corruption Agencies. These confirmed illegal payments were the sum of NGN 156.455 billion in 2009, and the sum of NGN155.824 billion in 2010, a total sum of NGN312,279 billion.

14. All staff of PPPRA and DPR involved in the

a. Processing of Applications by importers, and

b. Verification, confirmation and payment for imported products by |Importers and NNPC should be investigated/prosecuted by Anti-Corruption Agencies for neglience, collusion and fraud.

15. The Executive Secretaries of the PPPRA of the PPPRA who were the accounting officers, and under whose watch these abuses were perpetrated that led to the Government losing billions of naira, should be held liable. Therefore, we strongly recommend that those who served as Executive Secretaries of PPPRA from January 2009 to October 2011 should be further investigated/prosecuted by relevant Anti-Corruption Agencies. This should also include GM Field Services, ACDO/Supervisor-Ullage Team 1, and ACDO/Supervisor-Ullage Team 2 within the same period, for their roles in the management of the ullaging under the subsidy scheme.

17.It is hereby recommended that Mr. President should reorganise the Ministry of Petroleum to make it more effective in carrying out the much needed reforms in the oil and gas sector.

18. Given the large and complex nature of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Committee recommends that two ministers should be appointed to take charge of the upstream and downstream.

19. The current template being used by PPPRA in computing and paying PSF is full of in-built prices for wastages and inefficiencies (eg. Lightering exercise, demurrage) that could be plugged to save the nation’s scarce. We therefore recommend the revision of the template.

20. Henceforth the PPPRA margin of error on the payment Template for ascertaining allowable volumes on imported products should not be more than +/5% as against the current +/-10%

21. The PPPRA should provide the Nigerian Navy and NIMASA advance copies of allocation and vessel arrival notification documents to enable the Navy Monitor, track and interdict vessels seeking to avoid Naval certification.

23.The practice whereby PPPRA as a regulator in the petroleum downstream sector being supervised by the Ministry of Petroleum Resources whose Minister is the Chairman of the Board of NNPC (a major Importer/participant in the PSF scheme) negates the principles of checks and balances and international best practices. The Committee therefore recommends that the regulatory capacity of PPPRA be strengthened and the National Assembly should commence the process of amending the Act to make the Agency autonomous.

24.The PPPRA should, within two weeks of the adoption of this Report, conduct a performance assessment of All Companies involved in the PSF scheme and publish such reports.



26.The Committee recommends that the sum of NGN5557.70 billion should be provided for as subsidy in the 2012 Appropriation Act, while the sum of N249.0006B should be provided as subsidy for HHK (Kerosene).

Evidently, 445,000 bpd allocation to NNPC is sufficient to provide the nation with 40 MPPD PMS, 10 MLPD HHK, 8.97 MLPD LGO, 0.62 MLPD LPG and 2.31 MLPD of FO at the current NNPC refining capacity of 53%. It is only AGO that daily consumption in full could not be achieved. Since AGO has been deregulated, other marketers can make up for the 3.03 MLPD shortfall.

27. The Committee recommends that FIRS should follow up on the companies listed earlier to pay their taxes with due penalties in line with the provisions of the Companies Income Tax Act.

28. The PSF Guidelines should be revised to make Tax compliance a mandatory pre-qualification requirement for all participants under the Scheme.

hahahaha Dacid Adeleke. I literally grew up with this dude.... He has always been very well off but not this stupid

i never fully believed this man was retarded until today, any rational thinking man knows that you cannot totally deregulate commodities such as oil in a bad and non free market economy. the effects of this decision will be mostrous, the small cabal who previously collected the subsidy money will form a cartel and fix prices by themselves. THERE IS NO REAL COMPETITON IN NIGERIA. all fuel distributors probably know each other. wow the world better end on 2012 or nigeria will.this is probably an IMF policy to destroy our economy so that we either help in bailing europe out, have oil prices fall or totally destroy our economy so that everyone is worse off. okonjo-iweala, sanusi, gej == illiterates

haha poster you are a fool, never trust a nigerian girl, just this summer i met one i really liked very much at first but my bro warned me bout her but i doubted hi at first, the very next day she told me she loved me then i knew she was too good to be true, haha me and my bro set the bitch up and he bleeped her, but she ddnt know, i also bleeped her, chick was only after our cash, then we sent the bitch packing without a dime, same thing you should do

zolzlolz:
The fact of the matter, the bitter pill, is that Gaddafi's people didn't want him. People may try to twist the truth, but the moral of the story is that after decades of being in power, his people wanted change and Gaddafi was being stubborn and wouldn't go. Do you really think that it's right for Gaddafi to impose himself on his people for DECADES and then hand power to his children thereafter? Do you justify that? Mandela wouldn't be loved if he was still in power after 40 years. People have the right to choose their leaders. Honestly there is something wrong with people who want to stay in power for over twenty years now, come on!

@zolzloz, ever wondered that he ddnt want to relinquish power becos his country would become what it is today, a colony

@ anti-gaddafi members of nl on nairaland, youtube "the american dream" and maybe if you are smart enough you will pick up the points we are trying to pass across

democracy is nothing but the dictatorship of the elite, do not be conned into the illusion of freedom

@op you are a very stupid man. 2 months after the test you have not tested positive and you are bringing your wahala to us to comfort you. get out of here and go and get tested and make sure you are positive before coming back. next time go buy a condom , its not that expensive

@poster why are you such a drama queen?

@beaf you are very stupid and ignorant, one of the lazy dull nugerians who are cpontent to be brainwashed by mediia. This is not what our nationists fought for to be recolonised but youb are free to go buy foreign citizenship so you can become like the westerners who are slaves to their own govt.

i need yall to listen to this, more evidence raps up what we are all tryns say

the queen rules 80 yrs in england and they call it monarchy why should the ppl stillhave to pay tax to her while in africa it is called dictatorship opression, this is why i will forever respect visionaries like mandela who saw the importance of unity, this is why south africa has developed in such a short period, the first thing he did was to establish a truth and reconciliation commission , this is the same thing jonathan should have done and every president before him, unite the north and the south and nigeria will become developed and this is why the west cannot let nigeria be divided
