Look at that guy behind the tanker taking pictures, while some others are thinking of how they would fetch some fuel out of the tanker without even considering their lives.

Maybe the poor creature mistakenly found refuge in the pile of rice before it was bagged? NAFDAC should investigate the rice company for not carrying out their due diligence.

Na who tell you. As i dey look at you, u b anti-Arsenal fan.

I'm very suspicious of that pink "f" next to your name.

sylvalord:
what? No way! I have always known you are fake.

I've got my own stalker on nairaland... how flattering.

sylvalord:
shut up jor. You failed the last time.

Lemme guess you gambled away your rent money didn't you?

I cant get the right pronunciation of ur moniker, so I wud Jusy say YEYE.

YAH-YAH

Game will end in a draw, 1-1

Game will end 1-0 Man Utd will win, Martial will score in the 33rd minute from a corner kick. I've just made it easy for all you gamblers, trust me I have psychic powers.

Always wondered why her name is "cuppy" it makes sense now.

LordBaelish:
I was feeling you ngga till you said you've never visited her site. even once?

Haa.. it's either 10mb or being greater than Lucifer.

in mortal combat voice "choose your destiny"

I'm not a fan of celeb gossips. What is in her site I don't already read here on nairaland?

Now she hosts the celebrities she used to cover. I'm sure before buying this expensive house in Banana Iceland these celebrities thought she was just a poor fan obsessed with celeb gossips. Her purchase of this house just makes her even more powerful and solidifies her place as the highest paid blogger in Nigeria for a very very long time. Now she doesn't even have to scout for celeb stories they will be calling her directly to give her stories.
People wanna associate with wealthy and powerful people, just look at Oprah for example, when Forbes crowned her the richest black woman in the world several years ago, it made her TV show even more popular; anyone of importance wanted to be on her platform.
Im not a fan and i have never visited her site but Linda has made a name for herself and cannot be deposed easily by anyone no matter how hard they try.

Since TIME IMMEMORIAL, WU & MoneyGram only receive.

PayPal is used in SA. But the exchange rates will decimate your funds.

You are not current then, I believe you could send money from nigeria since last year.

SMH, such a damsel... rest in peace.

You might think they are wasting money but do you realize that bottle is a collector's item? There are very limited numbers of these bottles made every year and they all come with distinctive serial numbers for authenticity. People invest in these the same way they invest in arts, their prices only appreciate with time.

Proof that not all Muslims are bad people. This story is very powerful. If more Muslims did this and openly spoke against Islamic extremists, the world may be a safer place. Perhaps Donald Trump will have a change of heart when he hears this. Despite all the atrocious crimes and scandals in the news today, it's good to read stories like this.

There's still hope for mankind.

This one makes our Miss Universe contestant look like a million bucks.

Later they would say they didn't give these kidnappers any money.

They should also fire the chief editor who didn't do his due diligence. This just shows you that you cannot and should not believe everything you read or see in the media, always do your own research.

Terrible

This game will end in a draw 2-2, I've just made it easy for all you sport gamblers, trust me, I have psychic powers.

Bossforeva:
Haha.. Steve Harvey so this is how to think like a man, and act like a Lady.

Lol

Since this topic made front page twice, lemme repost what I posted the last time...

You would think "Boko Haram" would be the most searched or trending topic, instead you have people searching about the Charlie Hebdo killings. This just shows that we don't value Nigerian lives. The day after the Paris attacks I saw Nigerians on social media doing #wearewithparis or #parisstrong etc meanwhile many innocent Nigerians are losing their lives, limbs and arms to boko haram everyday and no one cares.

Seems like we love to join the band wagon just to look cool. I noticed the same thing during the Ice Bucket challenge in 2014, Nigerians on social media were doing the whole ice bucket thing to create awareness for ALS which is a neurodegenerative disease very common in Caucasians meanwhile millions are dying of malaria in Nigeria. Not sure if this is a case of misplaced priorities or just attention seeking behavior. Even our celebs were part of the short lived craze.

Value yourself or no one else will give a rat about you.

Interesting. It seems for once in the history of mankind, children may never be richer than their parents. It is generally expected that little Johnie will be richer than his father but the economy has become so bad that many folks are opting to stay single while living in their parent's house.

God will see you through.

That's pathetic. 12K a month, let's assume you are working 5 days a week that means you are earning N600 a day or the equivalent of $2 as a university graduate. The World Bank said the average Nigerian earns $1 a day and I thought they were spewing their usual propaganda but with the devaluation of the naira, I'm of the mindset the average nigerian now earns even less than $1. This is so sad.

My dear pls learn a trade, sewing, catering anything as another source of income... I won't suggest importation biz due to all the banking restrictions.

If you don't have that fake British or Yankee accent, some of these employers wouldn't look at your side.

The scarcity of dollars has led to wide spread paranoia. Now people actually believe banks come on nairaland to read this thread then update their exchange rates based on the updates here. Na wa.

Also have you guys thought about sending money via western union or money gram? How about you all butt heads together and start an independent escrow or payment processor like paypal? I swear you can all come together to find solutions to this madness as a group but as usual some folks have that "I pass you" mentality, while some others might try to abscond with others' funds. I say you start a whatsapp group and table out ideas to weather the storm cuz no one really knows how long these restrictions may last. It's time for this generation to start trusting themselves and start practising that "love your neighbor as yourself" thing and you would see great things can be accomplished when we are united for the common goal of lifting everyone.

If only these politicians wouldn't be so greedy with their looting. If they were only stealing like 100 million naira each, Nigeria would be a little paradise. Instead they want to steal billions and billions of naira they cannot finish in their single lifetime. It just baffles me. You hear of rich white people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg giving away 99% of their wealth all of which were obtained legally. Then you have these African politicians stealing billions of money they never worked for one day in their lives. Makes you wonder if the black race is truly cursed.

God bless the EFCC and may they never become corrupt like our politicians.

"allegedly rapped." I don't support rape and I don't think rape victims should be doubted either. But anyone can accuse someone of rape without substantial evidence. These two people were "Facebook lovers" and they agreed to meet at his place, there might be some element of truth that this was consensual sex and not rape. Maybe the lady is finding a way out of paying back the money or something else went wrong during their meeting. The topic of this posting is very misleading, the guy hasn't been found guilty, they are only alleging rape here so let's not be too quick to judge someone before a detailed investigation has been done. They should also go through their Facebook messages and phones to decipher if they both agreed to having sex prior.

Don't lock up an innocent man simply on hear say.

I'm not a fashion police but the costume isn't very appealing. I like the beaded dress but the fake plastic foliage ruined the dress. I get you want to showcase your cultural background to the world but you don't have to go on national TV looking like a masquerade. This is the kind of outlandish outfit I expect lady Gaga to wear.

You know sometimes when someone tells you to pray after all has been said and done you might think k they are crazy, how can anything change at this point... it's too late now. Imagine if you had failed an exam and someone asked u to pray and u were skeptical. I'm not the most religious person but who would've thought something like this would happen? Ms Philippines already accepted defeat and still things turned out for the best.

Steve Harvey has ruined the chance of having another black person ever hosting this show for a long while. I didn't know how embarrassing this was until I watched the clip. There she was, all crowned and given a flower banquet thinking she was the winner of the pageant then they had to dethrone her in front of everyone... good grief! Someone should pls give Ms Colombia an endorsement deal and change this embarassing situation into a blessing in disguise.


*** update*** lol even Steve Harvey agrees with me about the prayer thing, he posted the following message on his Twitter page on 12/22
"[/i] God answers prayers in some of the most unexpected ways[i]
