Maybe because am a germaphobe I think it is nasty to have sex where people eat. Wouldn't you be disgusted if you knew you were eating where people had sex?

pahtahkee:
Often times, billboards are sources of distraction while driving. Not to even talk of the abundance of such on Nigerian roads. But I thought Abuja was already employing the idea of electronic billboards?

Electronic might be better. If not they should make the current ones more sturdy

Everyone is mentioning kitchen and the kitchen sink as if people don't eat there. Do it where people won't have to eat later on in case you invite guests over to eat where you butt and other undesirable body parts were.

1. Government by the people; that form of government in which the sovereign power resides in the people as a whole, and is exercised either directly by them (as in the small republics of antiquity) or by officers elected by them. In mod. use often more vaguely denoting a social state in which all have equal rights, without hereditary or arbitrary differences of rank or privilege.

b. A state or community in which the government is vested in the people as a whole.
We are called a democracy, for the administration is in the hands of the many and not of the few.


2. That class of the people which has no hereditary or special rank or privilege; the common people (in reference to their political power).


These are all the definitions of democracy. Therefore our role is employing a government that will woek for us. If we employ someone that is not up to par it is our duty and legal right to terminate them.

Why doesn't he pick the child up to spend time at his house?

What happened to Pluto?

It has been demoted.

Some scientist have also discovered that many beliefs they had about dinosaurs are invalid. So scientist will always change what they proved formerly. Look at the planets Poor Pluto!

TCUBE:
its amazing that we humans keep coming up with all these so-called "studies", I wonder how the research will benefit we humans. The truth is that nobody knows what happened ,

So true. I like how some people posit ideas such as these in ways that it seems they were exactly there to see what happened and how.

TCUBE:
i WONDER what neurosurgeons think about this case.This is simply amazing, i need updates on this story

I read an article about this elsewhere. I don't think there is any possible way of seperating the baby as it has two faces but shares one brain. I don't see the big deal about it as long as she is healthy. Since she is in India she will not have much difficulty in terms of being made fun of as she is seen as a goddess.

"putting Nigeria on the map" is not something that one man can unilaterally achieve. It requires the concerted effort of all and sundry starting from those we elect into office for this singular purpose. Unless you have billions of dollars to waste, your primary aim of setting up a business is to make profit and not to put nigeria on a map.

Well since we are aware that the government are not interested in necessary things such as these we can use other ways. Most of the major biotech companies I know of (in America) were not aided by the government. You're right, a business is to make a profit and not put Nigeria on a map but both can be achieved in the sense that if this works other African countries might take interest enough to work with this company. Other African countries that lack such technology would do business with this company. I say this because Jamaica lacks such but Barbados has it so Jamaica works together with Barbados.

Even in the US, serious multinational companies don't run on solar energy. Its not a viable source of power.

Some companies have started using solar energy. Even a trash collection company has employed solar energy and if the investment is made early then it is better. Many American companies are getting into solar energy but not as quickly as one might think. Sweden and Germany I think have made major istrides in solar energy.

Is the goal of this institute to become a private science university? Where will you import the lecturers from? Have you factored in the cost of equipment?

If there are no Nigerian universities that are into Biotechnology then it might make more sense to start a private one that will churn out people who will use this technology. Also I find it really hard to believe that in the whole Nigeria there is no one that is knowledgeable at all in biotechnology. I also assume that the person who wants to start the business understands it and may know people willing to teach it but it is all assumptions. In the case of equipment that man who wants to start the business would have to factor it in himself.

History tells us Nigerians are only interested in looting the treasury.

And history is correct but I think the person who wants to start such a business would have known this and therefore must have thought of ways to thwart or limit the looting.

It is foolhardy, Lagos is the economic nerve center of the nation. If your company is profit-oriented then you don't want to go site your company in Kebbi state.

I think if everything is not congested in one congested place then maybe it will have a chance. The problem with Nigeria is that everyone wants to start something another person already thought of. Since the company will not begin as a mega firm if started somewhere not crazy then maybe it can be run in a less frantic nature. Many mega companies start out as small business ventures and reestablish when they begin booming

This is completely different. Any kid can set up a website with little or no start up cost. If NEPA takes light in Seun's house you will still be able to log into nairaland.

While this might be different there are similarities like people constantly pronouncing things dead before it is born.

@ 4HIM You have very good points there but I think there are very many different ways of approaching it. It might ultimately make this idea not seem viable but if we are really interested in putting Nigeria on the map then we have to start somewhere.

Firstly on the point of energy include a solar energy initiative with this biotech agenda. Also a private institute which will not churn out a bunch of half baked scientists could be what this company is started on. If many of the wealthy Nigerians get involved this could work. If many Nigerians will realize the importance of wealth that is.

Also why not start such things somewhere other than Lagos to alleviate some of the craziness? If other states are given the opportunity things such as these may take off faster.

I know a professor that travels to Ghana annually with students as a study abroad but she does it more as a way to help the people in Ho. She takes money and the student and she invests it in hospitals, nursing schools and farms just things that will allow the money to rotate and churn out something good. In saying this if some other Nigerians with good business skills and belief in science look into this and participate it may work like this forum.

I bet some people laughed at Seun when he wanted to start this but now it has taken off.

4 Him:
you people are behaving as if you are from another planet. You know your leaders, they would rather steal money than act like the Koreans.
We can't generate more than 3000MW of power with all our oil, gas and dam and you are here talking of Biotechnology.

How many Nigerian university graduates can accurately define DNA?

We have to start at some point or atleast entertain and act on such an idea. There is a 50% chance it may work and another 50% it may not. I think the poster should get into with a university and tell them of this and go from their. He could even setup the business through the school and go from their. I just think it is really sad that we are not partaking something as important as science.

The post asks men what they will do if their wife gives birth to a two headed baby.
@ poster why don't you give women an opportunity to respond as well?

Also its spelled Baby

Am not going to hold my breath because after Abacha's death everyone thought OBJ was the next Messiah. The fact that he left once is bad it enough. Am a strong believer of fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me ( fool me three times am a dumbass) and the Nigerian people have been fooled several times. I only started understanding politics and getting interested after the happiness of Abacha's death. So thus far I have been fooled once with OBJ and I will keep it that way, thus its shame on him. If Yar adumbass president improves (still not holding my breath) situation I will then be a believer if not then I won't be surprised. The government has been taking us for a ride.

Didn't they at one point all want to get the same types of car? Way to go.

Apart from oil our other economic features is our government robbing us blind. There is money involved somewhere in that.

How does he plan on tackling the power problem, the way he tackled it before he left? The post makes it seem like the power problem is a bad case of herpes you treat it but out breaks keep coming back. It was no tackled before and if everytime he has a headache he will travel to Germany then we should just leave the power problem for the next president who will leave when he stubs his toe and on and on and on.

Nigerian government should invest in solar energy. Oh yeah am talking about the Nigerian government never mind. The Nigerian people should begin investing in solar energy that is the only way NEPA will give us our pride back.

I think any president that will leave their country to look for medical help else where especial for some thing insignificant as Yar adumbass ought to be sacked impeached or whatever. These idiots real need to learn respect and loyalty for the country they preside over.

I would be interested in a solar power intiative. NEPA will be a crime of the past if Nigeria ever starts to do such.

Nigeria's problem is not the color of the president its the fact that the presidents are only interested in looting and not acknowledging that they are working for the people that voted them into power. Its like the campeign speech was empty words. Once Argentina or Venezuela kept changing presidents because the people they put into power was not working. Nigerians could do that but they are too caught up in tribalism.

Oh, I love Coldplay. All there stuff sound the same but they are still amazing.

The last time I checked the Jamaican performer Elephant Man had 20 kids, which continously announced on t.v. Quiet pitiful but he was proud so maybe that's Tuface's case.

Idiot: When you travel from Africa (the country) do you have to swim across the ocean or are you rich enough to afford a boat?
Answer: I flew on a plane
Idiot: Stop lying there are no planes in Africa

4 Him:
Wendy wake up from your slumber, which nigerian university is into research?

Don't you think at some point we need to start looking more into science in Nigeria? MAybe he has other Nigerian friends that were interested in funding.

Look at North Korea even though they are cut off from so many countries they have nuclear weapons. If the Nigerian government would put more interest into science we could improve our country. Imagine if more people went aborad to do the sciences and then returned we would flourish so much more.

Whoa woman hater in the room.

Universities and such. Also with such a venture could up for more research. The start of something good.

What the hell kind of question is this?

4 Him:
Dont worry, you'd be forced out of business in less than 5 years.

But why!!

I honestly think that is an important investment the government should pursue and any scientific initiative as such. However since they won't I think others should start. All in all yes I think it would be a great idea. Maybe others will follow your footsteps and setup other science related things.
