dasparrow: Agh! Let Buhari do what he wants. He obviously still has alot of looted funds left over from when he was in government so he can afford to waste it repetitively on failed election campaigns. I am afraid that if he chooses to run for presidential elections and the majority of people don't vote him in, he will start a war in Nigeria. After that war, Nigeria might just disintegrate. Remember what Buhari metaphorically said about the dog and the baboon. Either way, I wish Buhari all the best in whatever he decides.

bayooooooo: Buhari is not, in a word, electable.

He does not have the capacity to move Nigeria forward. Infact, GEJ is still more intelligent than Buhari who had a brilliant chance to defeat PDP but squandered the opportunity only to be crying over an impending electoral defeat which he suffered in any case. He sees no other competent candidate but himself. He can not negotiate, make deal, or persuade. The only language he understands is violence, violence and his delightful expression of how blood would flow. Have you ever watched him mouthed the phrase "something bloody will happen in 2015" and how a sudden expression of joy written on his face? He is arrogant, selfish, blood thirty, sharia loving, non cerebral, a very timid soldier who by all definition not worthy of ever downing the colors of Nigerian military attire. Any vote cast for that man is a betrayal of intelligibility,a betrayal of history, a betrayal of secularism in Nigeria, a betrayal of peace and the eternal enthronement of arrogance, selfishness, incompetence and retrogression beyond what's currently bedeviling the nation. Since 2003, this man has not found someone worthy to also back as a supporter, what a profession! What a career! What a hobby! SAI Buhari a professional presidential candidate will surely appear on his epitaph.

As usual, I expect him to campaign, tour Kano and Maiduguri twenty times telling them that a vote cast for an infidel is a vote against Allah. I expect him to talk of Baboons and blood flowing like the River Niger. I expect him to form another party, SAI BUHARI PARTY of Nigeria, when the likes of El-Rufai chase him away from CPC. I expect Buhari at the end of it all to blame it on rigging. Of course in 2016, a year into the new administration, I expect IBB to call him an upright man so he can start preparing for 2019 elections!


Sai Buhari my foot!

Amaka G29: Is Fake Fashion OK?

I had a friend come visit in NY and she wanted to go to Chinatown for some fake designer shades. We found the shades, but I'm just wondering: Can fake be fashionable? Is there a stigma attached to wearing knock-off shades, bags, and watches?

Would you fake it until you made it?

Otses: The good old days... I used to have series of such letters dt I kept and cherished. But unfortunately, someone took them from where I hid them. I remember one that a guy gave me when I was coming from the market with my mom to give to my brother. But something promted me to read it, and when I did, the letter was actually for me! Telling me that there are many fishes in the river, but he choose this particular fish which is me.

Dlyna: Looool.Igbos dirty??
Was sent to osun to serve and I couldn't even buy anything from those people because they know next to nothing about cleanliness.
I remember when I went to a restaurant in Ekiti to eat and the dirty yoruba woman wiped the plate she was to use in serving me with a rag that they use to wipe their hand.I almost threw up. And you call igbo's dirty God help you.

991: this man roasted humans alive and fed on them, kidnapped and kept a young lady as sex slave for months and had s.x.x with her as he wanted without feeding the lady?
he deserves whatever happened to him, even the 13yrs awaiting trial is too small.

Atandav: na first car wahala, wen u don buy like 2 or 3 he go stop.

I have been wondering for long never to find an answer to this. Could it be an Automotive anathema?
Every car owner flaunt his or her car keys even if there are 50 keys on one holder, the car key
Remains pointed at people during conversation. I noticed that not only in nigeria but even worse
here in Ieland. Am not trying to be egotistic but i own an X6 with a beautiful remote key yet
I always adumbrate my key when not in need of it. This morning morning a guy came to my office with a honda
key in his hand talking and pointing at me, not knowing my car can buy 5 of his ivtec. Wat is the exact
antecedent behind this?

sheymoni: even u sef u be 'notice me'.without seeing u we all knw u hav X6

Rassco:
On my way coming back from the site as promised in this thread https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-869565.32.html#msg10196720

I was almost hit by a fast moving train in ibadan

cap28:
I have come to the conclusion that there is no justice in this world - why do i say this?

Amy Winehouse - dead
Michael Jackson - dead
Luther Vandross - dead
Whitney Houston - dead

Sagamite - still alive

What sort of world are we living in where ugly mutant looking monstrosites with zero usefulness to humanity are allowed to continue to take up space on this earth while the above mentioned music legends(with the exception of Winehouse who died at 27) leave us prematurely?

Sagamite - can you do the decent thing and committ suicide as you are serving no useful purpose on this planet.

by the way your trainer is doing a good job teaching you how to mimic humans - you still need to work on your grammar though - cos its atrocious (see bolded) .


@caplink
nice one.

Sagamite:
Cap28, we both know all this was the work of the whiteman.

Those evil motherfckers planned this. They were just jealous of seeing a successful and well-behaved black that was winning too much awards. They did not want to see us blacks succeed like that. The hated seeing a good black role model that can teach our kids to be better behaved so they engineered her hooking up with a black they were already destroying (Bobby) so they can destroy Whitney as well.

See as they made her fall rapidly. Is it not the whiteman that is on top the food chain in drug selling? They targeted her with that poisonous stuff till she died.

The whiteman just wants to keep all blacks below and ghetto.

Abi I lie?

okunboy:
Anytime AARON RAMSEY scores for Arsenal the next day someone must die. He scored against Tot'ham & next day Steve Jobs died. He scored against UTD next day Osama Died, He scored against Marseille next day Gadaffi died, Now he has scored against sunderland nd whitney houston is dead! Hmmmmm.:s :O :x

Sagamite:
Lol.

I am going to be watching out for this shyt, men.

dianah:
I woke up this morning to the news of Whitney Houston’s death! It was a weird shocker to me because yesterday morning, I was watching a video of what has turned out to be one of her last songs “I Look To You” and I started reminiscing on my early teens and how much she had changed. I remember clearly how my cousin Seun, my friend Vwede and so many others have all thought her inspirational and had even thought most singers after her were all "Whitney wannabes". We used to say that Whitney not being in the scene for some years actually gave some singers an opportunity to shine.
It broke my heart when her life started falling apart, and I was one of those people who prayed she would get her life back, so this morning did not start on the happiest note for me. I thought marrying Bobby Brown was not one of her smartest moves, but I am not one of those people who attributed ALL her problems to marrying Bobby, because in my opinion, we give him too much credit, she was not a string puppet. (It;s like saying all Celine Dion's Success is cos of her husband or Iyke made Tina Turner) I believe people contribute to our failure or success, but we cant keep blaming or "praising them forever, cos we have a role to play.
I have been feeling a bit low this weekend, trying to get over malaria and some other stuff, and in a strange way Whitney’s death has got me thinking….how much we fuss over everything and death just makes it all seem so vain, how much each day ought to be lived to the fullest, how we have to make each day count for good, because all we have is the very second, minute or hour to make an impact.
I am overwhelmed with so much emotion right now, not just by Whitney’s death, but by life itself. How we take each day for granted sometimes not knowing it just might be our last.
I am no preacher, I am just one very emotional individual who thinks our time here on earth is for a reason, reasons way beyond our vanities, our wealth, our looks and all that we hold dear. I am one of those who believe that whatever gift God has given us is a huge waste if we only use it for our benefit.
I am one of those people who cry and hurt over every injustice or suffering because I really think this world can be a very happy place if we could just treat people the way we would like to be treated, with what as I Christian I still call the “courtesy of Christ”

I am going to end this note saying,

Dear Whitney, I sincerely pray you find eternal rest in God’s bossom, hopefully you get to sing with the angels,and to my Dear readers, let’s try to make today count for good, because realistically, we don’t know if we will have a tomorrow.

RIP Whitney Houston! Hope this will bring about an end to drug ussage? Nigerian artist please take note.

Sagamite:
One other thing I am noticing with some of these foolish celebrities is that they are losing their homes to foreclosure?

How the FCK can you make tens of millions a year or even in your lifetime and still be paying mortgage. Worse still fall behind on your payments.

What do I need a mortgage for if I make $7m a year for merely about 6 years? And some of these people make multiple that over years.

Sagamite:
I can have a little sympathy for Elvis but anyone in recent years that has seen the amount of these tin-head celebrities die of hard or prescription drugs and still abuse either either has a death wish or is dumb to the bone. I have no pity based on that.

I will enjoy their music but shed no tears for stupidity.

I can never see sense in all these drugs. They make as much sense to me as taking my toilet cleaning products and injecting it in my veins.

If you don't want to die, you don't abuse your body or substances. It is really not rocket science nor a secret.

Logic Mind:
I wish they could leave him alone in a room with me for a few hours.

Novice1:
Typical street upbringing. I will not dignify your posts with further responses.

Novice1:
Sentiments aside, the man's words have some substance. We tend to "deitify" some people unneccessarily b/c they achieve a status many could have achieved given the same opportunity/circumstances.

Take the average deprived Nigerian child off the streets and take him to a functional society and expose him to world-class education, he may turn out better than some of the guys we "deitify".

It is a case of the one-eyed man being the king.
