babasolution:
This write up is very insiteful,foreigners re milking this country dry,nigerians they look like mumu,na only to talk n joke nigerians fit do,nigerians re generally stupid because we never take action on any issue,especially the southerners,Nigeria oh nigeria when shall thee arise!
Get this bro: Internal unity and cohesion is needed among Nigerians FIRST, before it can effectively produce a formidable front backed up with effective policies to stare down foreign exploiters.

Everything done by foreign "investors" to undermine the economy can never be achieved if there is no Nigerian factor complicit in it, be it individuals or organizations.

Everyone of us does things because of personal gains and interests. There is no feeling of patriotism. No one can be forced to become patriotic. We are a loooong way from the destination we seek for this country, and I'm fairly certain this present generation can never be the catalyst to achieving it.

Most of our politicians and policy makers are cut from inferior and obsolete materials, it is a wonder we are still here.

As it is, this present Buhari regime is set to take first prize when it comes to policies that would set us back 30 years. Seriously.

i'm touched by the story of that girl. People of what religion are barred from japan?
The religion of peace.
The type of peace they brought on North-eastern Nigeria, the middle east (Syria, Iraq,) Pakistan, Afghanistan...you name them.

Japan obviously doesn't want that sort of peace. So.....
SportsRe: Fans Risk Their Lives To Watch Nigeria-Egypt Match In Kaduna (Photos) by whirlwind7(m): 8:57am On Mar 26, 2016
Meanwhile, emergency response is almost non existent in the event there was an accident. The security forces shouldn't have allowed those people to climb on that platform. I was so shocked when the camera showed that first picture. It was unbelievable. I guess the huge number of spectators who turned out for the match overwhelmed the security personnel. It's a miracle there was no accident and no casualty.

Host another match on that pitch, and this scenario would get repeated. We are good at not learning from mistakes, unless there was a grave consequence.
Foreign AffairsRe: 10 Unbelievable Facts That Would Fill You With Respect For Japan.. by whirlwind7(m):
Japan is a model country. If it were not for the series of natural disasters that often sets the country back, China should be playing a second fiddle to them.
I read an impressive and heartwarming report early this year about Japan's railway authorities that kept a certain route running because of a single student passenger who lives in a very remote region that is accessible only by train. This girl takes the train to school and back everyday, and later became the sole passenger on that route, because her home is in a very remote region.

The rail authorities had a meeting, and decided that they will keep the route in operation until this single passenger graduates from school! I saw pictures taken of that girl as she waited, boarded and read her books in the train while in transit. She was the ONLY passenger throughout. It brought tears to my eyes! Imagine the authorities operating at a loss over a single student! This is a country where the life and comfort of it's citizens is the number one priority of its government.

Also worthy of note is Japan's resolve never to grant entry into the country, to people of a certain religion.
PoliticsRe: 7 Division Garrison Intercepted Suicide Bombers (Grpahic Pictures included) by whirlwind7(m): 6:16am On Mar 26, 2016
Horrific.
Will terrorism and suicide bombing ever end in the North?
When this disturbance began about 7 years ago, no one thought this type of horrible things we get to see in the news in other countries will soon become a way of life around us.
Now we see mangled corpses everyday...we are no longer shocked or repulsed.
The certainty that a lot more innocent people are bound to become victims halfway through the year is disturbing.

Yellow sperm contains y chromsome leading to male child while d white sperm contains x chromsome leading to female child.Ar u okay now?
Bullshit!
Even though it could sound plausible to the uninformed. Indeed Y and X chromosomes are responsible for male and female babies respectively, it has nothing to do with color of sperm.
SportsRe: Siasia: My “brand New Eagles ” Will Beat Egypt by whirlwind7(m): 1:02pm On Mar 25, 2016
While we all wish them a successful outing today, I still think our coaches are more expert at playing and winning games by word of mouth.

There are better ways to boost morale and motivate your players, other than bragging about how you will win. We've heard it all before.
The game of soccer has progressed beyond the "I senior you" mentality we bring to matches all the time. The Egyptians didn't come to Kaduna for a picnic. The game is played with legs and brains. Not mouth.

This isn't the 80s and 90s.
HealthRe: Enugu Hospital Refuse 2 Release Conjoined Twins 2 Parents 2 Travel(pics,videos by whirlwind7(m):
stephenduru:
God will help her
Typical.
Let's all take a ringside seat and watch the unfolding drama as God descends from above to help her, or whoever you were referring to.

If the parents have paid their bills and are not owing the hospital, what prevents them from taking away their babies, and sort the help needed elsewhere, since this hospital is only interested in making money and bragging rights from their predicament?

If the MRI and CT scans have been paid for, the copies are to be handed to the parents, the custodians. They can then forward them to the hospitals overseas or any other facility competent enough to handle the surgery. What the hell is she crying for? This isn't the time to display weakness, because many Nigerians don't act right until you show aggression and madness!

This messed up country where anyone does as he pleases, and we are the most quick at calling on God, as if spirituality will get rid of all our woes.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: HELP! Is This A Scam Or Real (photos Attached) by whirlwind7(m): 5:48pm On Mar 22, 2016
MotorConnectz:
It not a scam. I stay in the UAE, I did the same to get my job. But I applied here and followed it up here. But since you are in Nigeria thats's how jobs in the GCC(Gulf Cooperation Council) reply if you apply from another country. You applied through dubizzle in Nigeria that's why. Go ahead bro. The 1000 aed is a deposit for your working visa which costs around 4000aed. The balance will be deducted monthly from your salary when you start the job because it's the company that will do for you with their money. Dubizzle is a very safe site. It's scam free. It's virtually almost impossible to be scammed on dubizzle. Go for it. If there's a phone number try to call them first and confirm because they are meant to give you an invoice for your payment. The refund will be given on presenting the invoice.

Good Luck
The biggest bullshit I heard since the beginning of 2016.
Really? That Dubizzle is a safe and scam free site? Bollocks!

You even sound like you are privy to this scam.
RomanceRe: Why I Didn't Marry Her. by whirlwind7(m):
People Don't Change!

Well, they might modify or try to suppress an annoying trait. But that only happens if they want to do it, and not because their partner demands it.

That's the truth about relationships and marriage.
If anything, any flaw you noticed in your partner is bound to get worse after marriage. This is because people tend to be at their best initially when a relationship or courtship begins. After marriage, you can then let your guards down; there's no compelling need to be at your best behaviour all the time. You have achieved your goal!

So, if you get married with the hope and belief that a certain behavioural flaw in your partner will get corrected, your woes have just begun.

Sure, no one is perfect. But only accept to marry someone with those flaws you know that you can accept and live with. If you are having issues with a potential life partner before marriage over his or her attitude you couldn't accept, that's all the sign you need that the marriage may never work.

Apart from the time frame and waiting
You will pay (bribe) through your nose to make your papers hurriedly reach the right table, and that's a federal government certified orphanage.
Someone ones spoke how she spent up to a million just to hurry up the process and get a baby girl

If you are partly correct, then it shows what has been fueling this baby trafficking business.

Thats y one must check d paper work well b4 buying a land or a building
Checking just the papers is just scratching the surface. Documents can be forged and manipulated. You can only get the complete info concerning a particular land from the ministry of land and urban planning. Herein lies the problem.
Our very archaic and corrupt civil service are totally inefficient and very reluctant to release needed information without you lobbying, greasing palms and frequently visiting different offices.
Have you tried to process a C of O before? Did you see what it costs and how many years, on the average, it took to secure a C of O, when, if we are sincere, it shouldn't take more than a few working days?
Omo oniles are still in business because the government is weak at implementing and protecting its policies. Even the government officials are beneficiaries of Omo oniles' shenanigans.

We need a massive orientation in this country.
Folks shy away from legal adoption of kids, but are willing to pay even more to buy them through shady means.
CrimeRe: 17-Year-Old Girl Sells Her Baby In Onitsha For N500,000 (Photo) by whirlwind7(m):
You cannot be made to pay up to 500k to legally adopt a child. So why go through illegal channel to get one, with all the risks involved?

What is wrong with our people?

PropertiesRe: why are house owners so mean? by whirlwind7(m): 5:48am On Mar 18, 2016
What house owner is mean in this instance?

That you had dealings with an agent who wasn't forthcoming is not enough to make a general comment about house owners. Moreover, you have not even met with the landlord. You should know that many agents take certain decisions without consulting the landlord. All the info you've made available so far shows that even the landlord may not be in the know about the situation.

Have you got a receipt for the transaction?
Do you have a signed tenancy agreement detailing your status?

Let's begin from somewhere. At least you need some evidence if you are to embark on a civil/legal resolution. You may be far from getting a reprieve if you are yet to have a meeting with the landlord (or his legal representative) and agent at same moment.

What is it with the "village people/witches" syndrome that seem responsible for every misfortune? A rather handy and all encompassing excuse, I must say.

Almost fact: The guy that left you hanging, but suddenly shows up when you are about to get committed to somebody else isn't the real deal. Note that I said it's an "almost" fact!

Na wah o. I don't think you read a single word up there. At this stage, it really doesn't matter if anyone was forgiven or not. Justice took it's course, albeit, at a very slow and frustrating pace.

The part where it was claimed Ibinabo refused to tender a public apology "because it would ruin her career" got me astounded.

Believe it or not, the government of Imo state charge levies once you sink a borehole on your property! This is more enforced in Owerri, the capital city.

So, you see what the people go through? Government can't provide good drinking water, and it's people are levied for trying to do the job of the government. This country sweet die! grin
PropertiesRe: Landlords Lose 300 Homes In Court Judgment by whirlwind7(m):
Won't be surprised to realize that the state's ministry of land and urban planning are aware of this piece of property in being in contention but still getting sold to members of the public by dubious agencies. The ministry officials would even grant survey numbers and give approval to building plans. They will do all this just for the fast buck...till the bubble bursts.

Next, the bulldozers roll in and demolish everything.

What do we even have a government for? You can't protect your own people's interest and PREVENT fraudulent sales and development of lands. The risks involved with property acquisition is just too much, due to very poor regulation and security. With ownership of the land in contention, the courts ought to have given notice to the state's ministry not to grant building plans approval on the land. that's how a responsible government functions

There are certain stereotypes associated with major tribes all across Nigeria. Ignorance and tribal fixations are largely responsible for this.

The first rule is to upload pics of the property for sale. I don't need to begin to imagine what the property looked like.

We still have plots of lands for sale in this planned estate. I am reducing the cost of purchase for the new layout (which I bought cheaper) to N805,000 across board, while the old layout sells for N855,000.

This total price for the land includes everything;

1. Cost of the plot of land
2. Cost of the bulldozing
3. Cost of electric poles
4. Cost of registered survey plan on your name
5. Cost of lawyers agreement for your document
6. Cost of fencing the land (perimeter of the whole land only)
7. Cost of Nri ani for the family that sold the land
8. Cost of courier service delivery of the deeds to your location, within Nigeria
9. Application fee (N5,000 non refundable)
10. Cost of planting royal palms on all the streets of this estate.

You can give us a down payment of N400k and we spread the rest of the payments on either 3 or 6 months installment plans.

Buy now!!!
List the plot numbers available for sale. That info is not handy anymore. Include an updated map for the layout too.
