You know it has worked for them in the past, so they are trying to see if it will still work

danny301: When you guys talk about Rochas been used and abandoned, it beats me, the reason for such assertion...I feel, this is the same mentality of 'I, before others' that has held this country down for too long. APC has eleven serving govs, several dozens of senators, Ex-ministers etc, so what is too special about Rochas that almost everybody thought he must be the party's presidential or vice presidential candidate and anything short of that means he is been used and abandoned?... Talking about used about used and abandoned, nobody has been used and abandoned in APC yet, at-least not Rochas... If you are talking about used and abandoned as in the real sense of it, PDP is the perfect example of that. Its PDP that relegated and frustrated her founding fathers out of the party. APC, as bad as it may be can't be said to be guilty of that yet except we are only judging them based on what we think they have the potential to do and not what they have actually done...All other governors in APC contributed to the party more than Rochas who just came in from APGA did, besides Rochas is still the governor of Imo State who is entitled to contesting for a 2nd term so i can't how anybody has used, let alone abandoning him in all these.

And who are you to speak for the entire SS? If you are from anywhere in Ss, what do you have in common with the rest of the zone?

Nimen: APC should just forget SE and SS if they bring out a Northern Muslim as a Presidential candidate

Ibos and their mind game again. 98% of you here are for pdp and the few of you leaning Apc will be rewarded with a befitting slot, but not anything close to the presidency cos your number is just not there.
For those of you crying for Rocha and Ngige, keep doing ya thing cos this is just about it for you regardless of which way it goes the tears must come

"Babe, you glow and look so angelic" during.....umm! I know it's a coded word but felt good.
"You are intoxicating" is more like it

Nonsense! The only reason whites are more safety conscious is the amount their insurance will have to cough up for negligence, it's not as if whites care about human lives than blacks, they simply care about their money and protecting their bottom line.
If Nigeria can make airline operators to be heavily insured, we are half way there

Good one Fashola!
Eko oni baje!
Yoruba has done it again

Why the comparisons? I hope you know that money given to charity in the US is given back to the donor when taxes are filed, so pdiddy is getting his money back from uncle Sam

anonimi: I wonder what your real problem is to make you spew out pure lies against others.
Was it not just a few days ago we read, right here on NL, about P.Diddy giving $250k to encourage teen entrepreneurs and a Nigerian-American was one of the two winners of the 25k prize

Are you unaware of the girls LEADERSHIP academy/school Oprah built in South Africa?

Or that Serena Williams has built two schools and is planning a third one in Kenya?

Bill Cosby has been promoting education and good parenting among blacks- the pillars for enduring individual and group success.

Most wealthy black Amerricans are now engaged in MEANINGFUL philantropic activities. This is different from the dash money that our Nigerian "philantropists" do only to get favours from their people in order to scam them even more.
Probably that is what you are whining about.That has not helped and will not help us.

It is ALWAYS better to teach a man how to fish than to dash him fish every now & then.

Don't know about skinny jeans, but black muscle shirts are like orgasms on men

Cos Korea has nothing to do with the award, it was bought and staged by her stooge at the embassy to make madam look good

azzutee: So, South korea dont have any first lady to receive the Shepopotamous of Africa? I wish they allow her to speak in Ijaw language because long distance journey might has affected her English language. Goodluck to you madam as you do Nigeria proud!

It's you that need your brain checked co Tinubu has not changed his position here. Did Tinubu call for SNC? Yes! Is Jonathan calling for the same? No!

sheniqua: Bingo!!!
Thanks for this unearthing

You see how Stoopid the man is?
Always unstable
Wavering
Blown and tossed about like polythene bag on Aba - PH express road
Cannot be trusted
Speaks from all corners of his rotten mouth
Typical!!
Gosh!
It is right when he says it and wrong when Jonathan says it
I bet you he doesn't even remember he advocated such a thing at some point
Tells you he doesn't mean anything he says
He just says them because they are different from GEJ is saying at that point in time

Tinubu cannot support what Jonathan has not called out. Wait, why do you think Tinubu is in opposition? To help him? Well! What do I expect from dullards who expected their enemies to cater for them during war

nku5: This is too funny. Sebi GEJ toned down the idea from sovereign national conference to just national conference because of the controversy and objection from the northern elements. I would advise tinubu lends his voice in support of the sovereign national conference since he has been in support of it all along

Leave the i.dio.te whose heads are permanently stucked in their as.s es. They think everyone here is walking akpu

emiye: there is a whole lot of difference between Sovereign National Conference and National Conference.


What Jonathan is proposing for is a National Conference, which when conducted the report can easily be made to gather dust.

What Tinubu is advocating for is a Sovereign National Conference

What you guys still don't get is that Yoruba do not see through your eyes and you can't have it both ways. Tell your dadandindin president if he has the liver to call for the real deal

lygn19: Yoruba's as usual,they hv gone to take heed with there slave masters...don't be surprised if dz Afenifere group of d yorubas,vote against true federalism and resource control in the last minute,its there nature...

Talk about what? SNC or nothing. What the eff is PNC for? To share money? I dare Jonathan to call for the real thing (SNC) and not the usual dog and pony show
[quote author=Dive-Bomber]Tinubu is a hypocrite! Yorubas hav been shouting nd calling 4 SNC since d days of NADECO, dey shld seize dis chance whether GEJ's motives are ryt or nt. WE HAV TO TALK NOW![/quote]

Thanks for sharing, we all now know that you are the crack house boy

tomakint: This is what you get when weed is too much, imagine a drug addict trying to whip up sentiments against a noble cause that will take us out of the wilderness of nothingness we all as a people have been trudging on for ages! I know the National Conference has come to stay and not even 1million Tinubus can stop it this I know for real!

It's braking news alright cos his return has put a brake on ibos wishing him dead

buoye1: ...They called it BREAKING not BRAKING!!!!!!Haba,d news na CarShit commot abeg........D Jagaban welcome sir

Jonathan should stop taking credit for other people's work

FG and PDP are behind bokoharam. Who knows how scared the mods are for this thread to still be at back page.
@op just don't leave your personal information online.
All the points you raised are for only those with good heads on their shoulders.

Is Australia the best kept secret? White Americans are moving there in droves

What!!!!! It's either your friend thinks you are dumb or you are truly dumb. Even people fight in the white house

dustydee: My Spanish colleague told me it is only Africans that fight in Spain. I was so angry. . . He went further to say if someone wants to fight him now he wouldn't know how to defend himself cos he does not know how to fight. That got me thinking - why do Africans settle conflicts through fight.

Immigrants potentials are stunt by the anti immigrant system set up by those who came to America for good lives and then shut the gate so others don't come in

honey: gullible nigerians wont mind paying [imagind having a $1200 debt monthly, which keeps growing]........... i will always say that america is not the best place to hustle.................why do immigrants never go beyond a particular stage?

True that
The reality in America is different from what the world is made to believe. Racism and discrimination everywhere. You are viewed with suspicion before they get to know you. One trash was telling me how we Africans are better than the African Americans, this is woman who didn't know the difference between Ghana and Guyana, and how she was raised with prejudice and have prejudice for some AA over what they do. Knowing this is the type that will go somewhere else and talk about how we eat ourselves in Africa, I quickly brought in the question had been wanted to ask about how whites view the rest of the world, I didn't quite get an answer, she just danced around it

dasparrow: @Post

OP, God bless you for this thread. You see, America had been my residence for almost 14 years. I remember when I was coming to America in the late 90s, friends in Europe warned me not to go but I stubbornly did not listen because I was carried away by what I saw on MTV and BET. When I arrived in the USA, my eye come clear. America is nothing like what she portrays herself to be. Infact, America brings out the worst in people oftentimes. You see people asking their family relatives to pay rent even though said family relative(s) is/are unemployed. You see some Nigerians calling immigration on their fellow Nigerians who have not yet sorted out their immigration palaver. You see some Nigerians spending the whole paycheck of their fellow family member who had just migrated to America and had just started working.

Most Americans live from paycheck to paycheck. Debt is a huge issue. Most Americans have mortgage loans, car loans, student loans, credit card debts, infact, 'gbese' all the way. Without credit cards, most Americans cannot survive. The American society is largely a debt-driven society. They encourage you to get into debt so that you can have a credit history. Without a credit history, you can't do much in America.

The racism is something else in America as well. You walk into a store and the whites think you want to steal. Sometimes they stalk you. The average american will harass you because of your accent, your African name, and threat you like crap once they find out that you come from a 3rd world country or from Africa. In America, you have nice neighborhoods and then you have the run down, crime-ridden neighborhoods which you find mostly in the inner cities. Many neighborhoods that have mostly black people and Latino residents in them are poverty-stricken but not all of course. Many neighborhoods are racially segregated especially in New York city.

Overall, America is just there. I truly believe that there are other more tolerant advanced societies an African immigrant can live a good life in. One just has to search. However, as for me, USA just ain't it. Yes, you have constant electricity, water, fast internet access, good universities and the likes. But, the average American will always remind you that you are not part of them no matter how long you reside in the USA and that is the gospel truth. I know some Nigerians will come on this thread and start defending America like their roots lie in that country or like that lives depended on it. However, I believe in telling it as it is. Many Nigerians love lying anyway so that they can keep boosting to their relatives in Nigeria and making themselves feel relevant. The truth however must be told so that people who wish to migrate to USA can make an informed decision. Shalom!

Nice to see and hear good things about Togo. My younger sister is married to a Togolese pastor and they both recently moved to Togo. Everyone in the family was against the move, but my sister tells us good things about the country. I plan to visit the place next year.

This one looks way better than the one at the intersection of piedmont/peachtree in buckhead

There's blackout in here, can't find most of my posts

Trust me your wife gonna cheat on you emotionally

joel Omo: I may be short but my money tall like Dangote own. Lol

Who knows you? And why do you want to know me?

Screw you vagabond!

Billyonaire: The only way shoprite will survive there will be if they sell amala ati ewedu, gbegiri eti orishirishi.

Ibadan oni gbaje o

Inferiority is synonymous with una remember?

toothpaste: Ibadan the headquarters of dirty. See as them dey vomit because of shoprite.

Inferiority complex in the midst of dirty is a generational problem

Yada! Yada! Yada! Ode, businesses are not run that way

publisher: Blackberry was operating at a loss but still went ahead to produce the z10.

The opening of a second Shoprite in Ibadan less than 5months after the first one simply shows that both malls were conceptualized at the same time-and construction was probably going on simultaneously.

If truly Bodija Mall has been experiencing low patronage,u dont expect the mgt of Shoprite to now abandon the Ring road Mall already advanced in construction.

As a business entity Shoprite can only hope that its visibility studies on Ibadan pays off on the longrun.

It's too early to praise or condemn Ibadan-however with its size and proximity to lagos,surely expectations should be very high.

I will still patronize dem street corner grass fed beef any day.

Revolva: umm ibadan go enhjoy..tire...no more eleran...for street corner....sha....and all those local ibadan babes.....go upgrade sha......ope o

the shoprite @ ikeja city mall is the biggest in the whole naija.....
