May their ass rest in peace 'till next season. F**k all chelsea haters. Atleast, they'll learn to keep their mouth shut.

@present; chelsea 1 valencia 0

very humble

I'm begging to believe that, this guy is sick. We don't want to care about their "give-and-take" aid. They should keep their aid after all Nigeria is a sovereign state. If not for the fact that, we lack visionary leadership as a country, are we suppose to be relying on their so-called aid by this time? The only succeeded in Libya because, virtually every citizen of that country voted against the excesses of Gaddafi.  You want Nigeria Government to support what the 2 major religious group condemn in order to please a few idiots who feels they can have a misplaced satisfaction in "homolesbianism" God forbid. However, I have no confidence in this so-called group any longer. To hell with them!

Many people who indulged in castigating Alh. Dangote are virtually doing so because of outright hatred and jealousy. As some would put it " He is being used by politician to siphon our money" good, how many of you can be trusted to be used without betraying those sponsors? Many politicians are investing our money abroad because of undue criticism by so called Nigerians. Does it mean that, when someone is making progress in his/her career, he/she has to put down his life before blind Nigerians would appreciate his contribution(s)? Am begging to believe that, if my Father or our fathers did or contributed half of Alh. Dangote's contribution, I believe Nigeria would have faired better. In a nut shell, lets try to appreciate individuals who deem it fit to add value to their country. Alh Dangote is one individual I will continue to respect, any day, any time. God bless Nigeria.

Major problem facing Nigeria = Nigerians + their unrealizable federalistic/democratic psychic. gbam!

@Poster, you've a good thought though not a complete list as far as am concern. The likes of Gov Ibrahim Idris of kogi state suppose to top your list. Just try and make your findings, this Guy has not done anything in the last 7+ years he becomes the Gov of Kogi state.

I can't imagine how many reading this bill will pass through before it becomes a law sorry, marriage. Please, can someone remind me of the place where only wiping with correct stick would bring a beautiful wife? Maybe one needs to try that out to avoid this long bill. Lol

I think, Capitalism is worth practicing. This' because, socialism would definitely encourage intellectual laziness. According to X theory as propounded by Mc Gregor, "humans are inherently lazy and would avoid work if they can, " If our country should settle for Socialist economy, a substantial number of work force (people) would be meant to supervise to ensure people do their work. However, the contributions of the mass majority of supervisors would barely be felt in our GDP hence, they'll be enjoying or share from the efforts of those compelled to work. But if capitalism is encouraged as it is now, many people would keep considering working because of what they'll gain as well as investors will keep investing because of the profits they envisage from the sector. However, I believe, they are sectors that can fair well if socialist economy is considered. We must embrace the two theories provided we apply them rightly.

It is very unfortunate to believe many people have mortgaged their morals and value as a result of poverty and greed. How can a boy of just 18yrs planned to acquire a property worth several millions without his brother raising an eye brow if he truly loves him. The fact remains that, if he later finds himself in any trouble as regards his source(s) of income, the brother will be the first point of contact. If I were his Elder brother, i'll employ all possible means to ensure I stopped him from doing shady businesses. As for those castigating the brother for mentioning EFCC, just continue to encourage corruption so that at the long run, you'd shift blames to the government. However, as a country, I think the best way forward is when we begin to think aright. Lets consider our children and generations after us, what legacy are we planning to leave behind. I think, its high time we made a strong decision by resisting the urge for cheap gains and undue suffering in future. God bless Nigeria!

@ Poster, There is this other one I know too well, Methodist Boys' High School, Oron in Akwa Ibom State. The school was founded in 1905.

on a more serious note, covenant university is located right inside the church's (winners' chapel) premises. i think, it will be unwise to allow muslims to attend. come to think of it, would they be permitted to build their own worship center (mosque) within the church premises? impossible!

"To talk is cheap but commitment is costly" I'm begging to believe that critics most times are even clueless than those they criticized. However, I may not see his present attitude towards information dished out as an act of hypocrisy or sycophancy, it's rather a reflection of true position of things. I suppose, being on the corridors of power and living outside power are different kettle of fish. Am sorry to say, most people find it very comfortable setting their ears in favour of scandalous rumours rather than investigating before accepting such. Honestly speaking, most journalists derive their meal tickets from blackmail and scandalous stories. I am not trying to assume all stories are lie but very few are factual. Mr Abati is now an insider and I pray the Lord would give him the courage to withstand pressure from his ever growing critics. However, I see this as big lesson. Though, he is not the first victim, remember Bayo Ojo when he was NBA chair and when he became a minister. God bless Nigeria!

Argentina 2 - Nigeria 0

In Egbeda, Okunola precisely, we usually experience Power supply of an average of 14 hours, lately.

“Certainly the fall of another titan. Chief Anthony Enahoro’s modus vivendi, whilst he peregrinated through this will-o-the-wisp of a three dimensional world, resonated with a divine halo of an iconic personage who was propelled by the PIRKEAVOTHIAN apothegm which urges man to realise that ‘the day is short and the work is great.’ No wonder that from a very young age, he engaged in self abnegation and mortification of the flesh in a Spartan, clinical and cerebral bid to salvage the Nigerian project even at the expense of his health infrastructure. He ceaselessly fulminated against vagabonds in power whose primus mobile had philistinic anchorage in a depreciably mindless crave for vacuous hedonism and ingratiating political megalomania.

He must have been viscerally pained to note while he was at the departure lounge, that the ship of the Nigerian state was still nosediving and sliding into an eschewable oxbow lake and cataract, and he must finally have wondered if the zoning debate currently going on is not another egregious insult by our elitist political class on the pauperized, sissified and ossified sensibilities and sensitivities of our lumpen proletariat. The only way we can honour this great man who gave his all for Nigeria is for all progressive forces to extricate themselves from the arms of morpheus, with a view to continuously demystify, explode and pulverize the Machiavellian, Mephistophelian, primitively accumulative and rabidly sybaritic propensities of our political class, be it at the level of executive suzerainty or parliamentary Olympian aloofness.”

I think, the truth is not far fetch. So, lets prove it mathematically. To find WOMAN, you need TIME and MONEY, therefore; Woman = T x M. Time is Money (i.e) Time = Money (T = M). If T = M, that means; Woman = Money x Money (M x M). Money is the root of all PROBLEMS (Evil). Meaning; MONEY = Square root of PROBLEM. Therefore, if woman = Money x 2 and MONEY = PROBLEM, that means; WOMAN = PROBLEM (S). So Guys, I urge you all to fleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee from them. No offense, Ladies!

My Economics Teacher "Mr Ating (a.k.a) Pina" @ Methodist Boys' High School, Oron. I'll just slash him with correct koboko. Mr Poster, do not allow me to remember what we used to pass through in the hands of this Guy. I hope, he is still alive. If he is, I will try and pay him a warmth visit though. On a very serious note, the Guy really transformed some of us especially most of my friends that were hotter than me in those days.

I think, this is too early, I understand Nigerians are really yearning for positive change. However, we must wait until GEJ's cabinet is constituted thereafter, we'll consider the pedigree of individuals who are going to work with him. And I believe, from there we can simply examine what we would stand to gain or lose in his administration. Moreso, it is note worthy to understand that Nigeria is wonderfully diverse. As a result; President who enjoys the mandates of these diverse people must all always reflect his love and acceptance to all and sundry. Therefore, FellowNairaLanders, Mr President needs our collective supports to Transform this country. It's not until we're there in Abuja or even as Member of FEC before we can contribute our own quota toward ensuring a transformed Nigeria. Our major problems for now is corruption, we can deliberately commence transformation agenda right here in our office, respectively. Lets love one another and eschew destructive criticism. I believe with just these few things we can imagine a Nigeria being an Eldorado of envy soonest. Goodluck to Nigeria!

Haba! this is outright wickedness! How can they go on to bomb Police Hqtrs? These guys (Police) claimed they're protecting us. I can see, they're indeed our protector that is why they failed to protect their domain. As for me and my friends (Nigerians), we refuse to be Iraqis. I believe Nigeria will fair well soon whether the bad belles (Suicide bombers) like it or not. On the other hand, the Govt must buckle up their security efforts to ensure safety of citizens in their fathers' land. God bless Nigeria!

Marriage is all about responsibility. Settling down in my own little understanding means; "settling down to face the reality of live"  Many considers marriage as bed of roses which I believe far from it. Some do not even have anything to bring to the table of marriage. Marriage to me is ability to accept and make a stranger part of your life denying yourself and extended family somethings you used to consider important before marriage. Good marriage is a product of adequate preparation by both partners. Preparation in all ramification, eg; Your thinking, dressing, house keeping, child bearing, tolerance, faithfulness, etc.

I think Obj deserve it.

May his soul rest in peace. The Almighty will give his family and all staffs of Gtbank the fortitude to bear the loss. Adieu!

I think, my integrity should come first

Inverter is one of the best things we bought early this year in our office. From the little experience i have gathered over the last 5 months, I think, it is worthwhile for every household. However, my advise to any intending user of inverter is that;  always go for new batteries notwithstanding the cost, you will enjoy using it. Ever since ours was installed, we rarely buy fuel for Generator, there is no generator noise again. My office is located around a central business district, they hardly bring light during official hours for reason(s) best known to them (PHCN) but, there is always light in the night and most weekend. this help keeps our inverter charged all the time. Inverter is very useful in an area like this. You can try it out and I know you'll appreciate it.

I think, we are taking the right of Association enshrined in the constitution too far. In Nigeria, Agbero would just gather along major roads holding commuters to ransom yet Government cannot do anything because; Right of Association is in our constitution. I really pity indigent citizens  who cannot afford atleast a tokunbo family car. They are the one suffering from the hands of these evil associations so to speak. However, Let me use this medium to sympathies with the family of the deceased and with all patriotic citizen for this irreparable loss. may the Lord grant the family, fortitude to bear, Regrettably, culprits never brought to book in our own context.

I think, this process is even more cumbersome than election process itself. This is because, it involves mobilization, financial commitment, Security risk, pressure from opposing view, etc. Lets be frank to ourselves, no Nigerian would want to endanger his life or his family in pursuit of these rigorous process. The major consolation factor still remains that, 4 years is not too long to vote out every unpatriotic elements parading themselves in the corridors of power. However, we must strive to strengthen our institutions to ensure absolute credibility in our electoral process. We have to commence preparation for 2015 general election ASAP. It is our collective duty to educate, inform, outline the bases through which indigent and uncivilized electorates should go in the course of exercising their franchise.

His offense is;
SHITOMANIAISM, lol

I can now understand why the so-called parliamentarians cannot restore hope to the hopeless. Can you imagine the million upon millions mentioned here in a country where the vast majority continues to facilitate within the exorbitant enthusiasm and irritational irritability. A country where the microscopic few that have piloted the affairs of this country lives in pleasantry luxury and protracted solicitude. I rest my case.

I think they are;

1. Politics

2. Telecoms operators (eg MThiefN sorry MTN)

3 Church Business

4. Kidnapping

5. Forex Trainers (Not Traders o)

6. Herbalist (YETKEM, et al)

7. Real Estate Speculators

8. LandLordship (especially in Lagos, PH, and Abuja)

9. Custom, Police, KAI, VIO, Immigration

10. Entertainment ( it has rooms to accommodate the good, the bad and the urgly)

lol

I regretted making MTN my official phone contact otherwise, I would have dumped it since. They are not cared about customers regular call for tariff reduction. Infact, if they continue like this, very soon, they'll definitely go into oblivion as far as information technology is concern in Nigeria. Thank God for the progressive alternatives, they're seriously keeping them on their toes.
