Looks like a dog.

Acidosis:
I hope this is not an attempt to punish SA firms as I'm very certain majority of the shops in Lagos state sell expired and fake products.


I'm not in anyway condoling malpractices; I'm only calling for fair and equal treatments.



I don't think we have any SA Pastor in Nigeria. If SA decides to start with Nigerian Pastors in South Africa alone, lol, they will gulp thrice the amount we'll get from MTN.

They have Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
They have Emmanuel TV/T.B Joshua
& many more...


While some folks rejoice over the perceived fall of MTN, Shoprite, and other SA firms in Nigeria, let's always remember they have more Nigerians at their disposal.

Are you really back with this expel-SA theory?
I know we're trying to encourage FDIs in Nigeria, but it shouldn't be to the detriment of our citizens.
The same madness happening in the Niger-delta region needs to be addressed and those Multinationals heavily fined for environmental pollution. No country can boast of development if there's no human development. And you can't achieve human development if our regulatory institutions treat investors like the Holy Grail.

Farnsworth:
what rubbish... why not seal Nigerian markets... just trying to another inconvenience a company investing in Nigeria, why not just give them a warning and fine them... closing ensure they are not making money... if the product is expired tell them to put expiry date on it and check it before selling it.

Is this a joke? What kind of comment is this?!

I'm asking the same question. Of what use is the FRA and BPP if they can't monitor projects and check wastages

The only thing this country knows how to do well is promulgate new Acts, set up new commissions and then do absolutely nothing.
Next thing they'll do is borrow more money to embezzle and then borrow some more to service the previous debts.

If the rest of the world had any sense they'd stop giving Nigeria ODA (both bilateral and multilateral institutions.) A major bulk of these financial flows are allocated to providing public goods, but these are things that can be serviced by the country itself if our institutions are functioning like they should! They should spend more time providing technical advice and policy support not giving us money. We have money... someone simply needs to dash those in power brain to better mobilize domestic resources and curb illicit financial flows.

JJJC:
What do you have to say about this?

Is there more? Because this doesn't say much about her allegations except that she believed herself in love with him and was obviously emotionally abused.

JJJC:
Yeah, same here, she obviously saw something in Mustapha that makes her stayed glued to him. I've seen many cases like this, especially when the parent of the guy is very important or the guy himself is a celebrity of sort and they ended up being financially compensated, though I believed she was raped but not the way she portrayed it.

Really? Is there a different way to portray rape? Please enlighten me.

And to think someone actually married those beasts! This is appalling.


If you have opened your mouth to utter one silly comment calling Sugabelly an attention seeker for coming out with her story, I hope you pray real hard for yourself that neither you nor someone you care about is ever raped, or almost raped.
I'd love to swear for you folks but... I'll leave your matter for God.

It's existed forever-- even in boarding schools!
Someone calls you to fan her while she sleeps for hours. Now if that's not wickedness then I don't know what is.

So long the proceeds from all these fines are going into the right government purse, then please fine away.

Is someone fining the oil miners (especially multinationals) for environmental pollution and are they as vibrant as the NCC?

This country needs as many sources of revenue as she can get. If we can enforce strict compliance to regulations then we'll make considerable progress, and might even be able to reduce tax burden on the citizens.

Always beautiful

Who remembers that "abum nwa Aba" song?

Ultimatesammie:
but shud getting rid of him be a big deal, stefan nd damon have handled worse.I wonder whobd heretics wud go 4.

They'll go with Julian. They're already beginning to feel stifled by her.

Maybe it's the white and all that space after the screen, but the front of this phone looks more bleak than beautiful.

Nice review btw. Waiting for the full review.

Davina deserved what came to her. The little moth was beginning to feel like a butterfly

TO made a lot of sense. I think Aurora is crazy though-- that girl spooks me

TVD Thank God Lily finally sees Julian for what he is. I don't know how she intends getting rid of him, but I'm fairly certain it won't be a flawless plan.
At some point in the execution of this plan, Stefan will be trapped in that stone. Lily's 'children' will turn against her because it's obvious Julian has warmed his way into their rebellious hearts. Who knows, maybe Lily will die in the process.

Love to see how all these pan out.

So he's distracting her on the left with a kiss and stealing her meat on the right.
Such prayer mehn

Thanks for the kind words. I'll actually love to do that. Lemme see my schedule. But there are different kinds of fire.....I guess domestic fire management tips, right?

Yes, domestic fire management tips.
No pressure, at your convenience. A student will always wait
**Please tag me when it's up.

dearpreye:
No sensible person prays for any emergency let alone fire but these incidents happen whenever the control measures are inadequate.

As a former fireman, I've trained my household on how to disconnect the home in case of a domestic fire, have fire prevention diagrams carefully placed in my house, have a potable for extinguisher. No taking of any chances.

Yes. The NEPA bill can serve other purposes. LOL!

Learning stops at the grave.

Thanks for working smart.

About that fire training, it'd be nice if you could create a thread explaining some of those tips to us, please?
Thanks in advance

So many funny posts on this thread:
Coogar's insults
Truckpusher's punny talk
Nairaland Sherlock wannabes
The Jury
Dead accounts resurrected
Flies and shiit syndrome disturbing this forum

Very good stress relief from these past months for me


You two just kiss and settle outta this nairaland freak show courtroom.

All these front page commenters make the users of this forum look intellectually inept with their senseless rant.

People should learn to read the body of articles not just the headlines before rushing to comment. This is how you fail examinations and totally miss the point.

FriedPlantain:
Op is obviously misinformed or just ignorant. That Otedola's "small phone" will conveniently buy hundred of your phones with enough change still remaining.

Those phones you are seeing cost over 2 million naira each. The name of the phone is called Vertu

Ose jare. You took the words right outta me mouth.

The picture be like wetin dem use Sagem 1.5MP camera snap

naptu2:
It's on Catholic Mission Street, opposite City Hall and not far from Campos Square. Feraz should know it very well, since he attended St Mary's. Feraz, did you go to Holy Cross every Friday in lent for stations of the cross?

Aite. I'll look out for it when next I'm in the area.

Thanks for the history lesson

naptu2:
This answer can ignite a civil war.


Lagos was divided into 4 in the 1800s.

1) The Europeans (especially the British) who lived on the Marina. They were mainly protestants (primarily Anglicans and Methodists).

2) The Saros (slaves freed by the British. These former slaves had adopted a british lifestyle) who lived in the Olowogbowo area. They were mainly Protestants (predominantly Anglicans). Many of them returned from Sierra Leone.

3) Popos/Aguda. These are former slaves who were taken to Latin America (mainly Brazil and Cuba). The Popo Aguda were mainly catholics. Most of them had been builders and masons in Brazil and Cuba and they built most of the gothic and latin style houses in Lagos. They lived mainly in the Campos area.


4) The indigenes who adhered to African traditional religion and where mainly farmers and fishermen. They lived on the rest of the Island, particularly to the north and west of the others.

Holy Cross Cathedral

Holy Cross Cathedral was built by the Popo Agudas in the 1800s.


The first priest came to Lagos (and said mass) in 1863 and this inspired the Popo Agudas to want to build their own cathedral.

The Agudas began negotiations with the Colonial Government to acquire the land in 1864.

Father Bouche became the first resident priest at Holy Cross in 1868 (though he actually lived behind the house of the famous Candido Da Rocha, one of the wealthiest of the Popo Aguda).


The foundation stone was laid in 1878.


The building was completed in 1881 (with just one tower). Other towers were added in 1883 and 1934.

The building was substantially renovated in 1969.

Where's Holy Cross Cathedral?

timpaker:
Hmmm....I'm a certified JJC then. But the building is awesome, I guess it is one of those buildings built in 1920 or so.

Cathedral church of Christ, Marina (Anglican) . Built (Read: Completed) 1946. It's the first cathedral in Lagos.

Magnificent building, right? You don't see structures like that today
