As for me, I dont think I'm just the lucky type when it comes to women. With a promising job, I dont look bad at all. And at my age, am hoping to get married soon but the deal there is no stable woman. Ok look at this, I was dating this girl. We loved each other so much that even people saw us as a perfect combination. Suddenly her family had another plan for her and she started acting funny. I was so frustrated that I had to call her that OK I was finally letting her go which does not really mean much because the guy her family wanted for her celebrated her birthday for her some days before then. Imagine, there I was and another man sponsored her birthday courtesy of what her family wanted for her.
Low and behold, I let go and some days after, I left for NYSC orientation camp all to come back to hear that she got engaged/married to the guy in less that 6 weeks that we broke up.

Unfortunately for her, the marriage has broken down and she has packed out of the guy's home and back to her family.

Now she calls me that she has some challenges and really needs to see me to ask for forgiveness.

Now to even approach woman tell am say I want am now ehn na wahala oo.

Ladies in the house, am single, seriously and sincerely searching(SSSS) and I need a working class yoruba girl.I'm a graduate and I work with the federal government. She must be a graduate, a christian and she must be ready to join me in working togther to build a home for ourselves. I dont want someone who never wants to do tthings herself but asks me for everything. My email is yominchicode@gmail.com

Curse or blessing?

LAGOS—Nigeria’s commercial capital, LAGOS, is on the verge of joining the country’s oil-producing states with the discovery of crude oil in commercial quantities in the coastal state.

Yesterday, Afren Plc and its partner, Lekoil Limited, announced significant oil discovery offshore Dahomey Basin in Lagos, according to the London Stock Exchange.



In separate announcements, the partners said they discovered a significant light oil accumulation based on the results of drilling and wire line logs from a high impact Ogo-1 well, located on the Oil Prospecting Licence, OPL 310 offshore Nigeria.

Afren is optimistic that the discovery is likely to be significantly higher than the anticipated 78 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe), which encourages search to further high potential zones.

The discovery is subject to the authentication of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), which is expected in two weeks.

If certified and the partners produce the first barrel of oil, Lagos will become the 11th oil producing state in Nigeria, a club Anambra State joined recently. It will also boost the economy of Lagos, which currently generates about N29 billion internally every month.

The other oil producing states are Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta, Ondo, Abia, Imo, Edo and Cross River.

Geological studies indicate that the Dahomey Basin is a combination of inland/coastal/offshore basin that cuts across some West African countries including Lagos, Nigeria as well as Southeastern Ghana, Togo and the Republic of Benin.

The basin is said to be separated from the Niger Delta by a surface basement popularly called the Okitipupa Ridge.

“The Ogo-1 well has been drilled to a total measured depth of 10,518 ft (10,402 ft true vertical depth sub sea), and has encountered a gross hydrocarbon section of 524 ft, with 216 ft of net stacked pay.

“The well was targeting 78 mmboe of gross P50 prospective resources, but based on evidence to date, targeted resources are likely to be significantly in excess of previous estimates,” Afren said in a statement made available to Vanguard.

The company added that “further evaluation using wire line log analysis is currently underway prior to extending the well to a total measured depth of 11,800 ft (11,684 ft true vertical depth sub sea) to target further high potential zones.”

DPR yet to authenticate discovery

However, speaking with Vanguard on phone, the DPR said authentication of the discovery could only come after side-tracking (ST) verifications.

A top management source in the upstream unit of the regulatory agency, said: “As far as we are concerned, the discovery for now is very speculative. The side track will indicate whether the resource they have found is actually crude, and this verification takes about two weeks. Thereafter, the company will communicate the tracking result to us, after which we will certify the discovery.”

Partners plan side track

Ahead of the planned ST, Afren expressed confidence that estimated reserves of about 124 mmboe have a better than 50 per cent, P50, chance of being technically and economically producible.

“Partners intend to drill a planned side-track, Ogo-1 ST, which will test a new play of stratigraphically trapped sediments that pinch-out onto the basement high targeting 124 mmboe of gross P50 prospective resources,” it confirmed in the statement.

Commenting, the Chief Executive of Afren, Mr. Osman Shahenshah, said: “The discovery of oil in the Ogo-1 well opens up a new oil basin in an under-explored region and represents a possible extension of the West African Transform Margin.

“Based on evidence to date, targeted resources are likely to be significantly in excess of previous estimates, with some high-potential zones still to be drilled. We look forward to working with our partners to realise the full potential of Ogo 1 and our additional prospects on the licence.

“The Ogo-1 exploration success follows a series of recent discoveries, Okoro Field Extension, Ebok North Fault Block and Okwok in Nigeria and Simrit-2 and Simrit-3 on the Ain Sifni Block in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.”

On his part, Lekoil CEO, Mr. Lekan Akinyanmi, said: “The discovery of oil in the Ogo-1 well opens up a new oil basin in an under-explored region and represents a possible extension of the Cretaceous play along the West African Transform Margin. The discovery is a clear validation of Lekoil’s technical analysis and of our extensive studies on the Dahomey Basin.

“Results to date indicate that the discovered resources could be significantly in excess of P50 estimates prior to drilling. While Lekoil notes these results are preliminary, we believe there exists substantial scope for upward revisions to the data announced today (Wednesday) as drilling and interpretation continues.

“We look forward to working with our partners to realise the full potential of Ogo and the additional prospects on the licence.”

Ikengawo: Nigerians don't believe in natural death, only murder. Imagine someone that got in a car accident is being claimed to have been assassinated. Someone can die at the age of 98 in Nigeria after suffering from diabetes for decades, and everyone around them will wonder who 'killed' the person.

I am not here to support the old woman but Guy, don't talk as if you be oyinbo man oo. This is Africa where mysterious things do happen. There are so many diabolical aspects to some incidents we experience in here putting into consideration where we are coming from. So, think very well oo.

Wsdm: This Israel that you(christian) often make reference to are not Christians and does not even want to be called Christians. Afterall they are boasting that they killed your gods(christ). When you want to make reference to historical events, there are more infallible properly documented historical events that you can make reference to.
We in the North are even tired of seeing your unclad girls and gay men corrupting our lands.

You northerners are pretenders and hypocrites of the highest order! What your girls that cover themselves in hijabs do underground is worse than what those unclad girls do. Even the bokoharam sect's members, let me remind you that condoms both used and unused, narcotics and various types of very ungodly items were found at a recently raided camp. Now are you actually godly people or bunch of hypocrites? By the way, northerners have ruled us the most in Nigeria and here we are. Please go and take your almanjeri plates and go beg for food as usual. By the way, hope you dont type with one arm as a result of amputation?

[quote author=josh4ever]Since Fani-Kayode was arraigned by the EFCC, he has continued to act like a puny livered punk! His utterances are reminiscent of a mentally challenged individual. His relations need to act fast to reign him in b4 he starts dancing naked on the streets of Abuja. The fear of jail time must have driven him nuts! [/quote


Na only FFK enter the whip of EFCC? You don forget Alamsesia?
Now, are you telling me that your president, who is actually a doctor and is likely to become a preffesor not long after he eventually leaves office is not mentally challenged for him to have backed the loser of a free and fear election to assume the contested position while the winner is alive and healthy? It beats my imagination to see what the young generation has already turned into. By the way, we have stayed togther for 53 years and its not working, is it not high time we broke up? Think, please. Sleep and wake up in the middle of the night and think about your unborn generations.

chidindufrank: GEJ is the anointed one. No GEJ,No Nigeria.

Black brain.

1MCN: Sometimes I wonder the ethos with which some press people work. Any pressman who places a recorder in the mouth of public servants with colossal criminal litigations like FFK should be sent to jail for insulting the sensitivity of the Nigerian people!

The guy said the plain truth! We said we are in a democratic set up. There was an election. One person won and yet the loser assumes the contested position because he is backed by the president. Definitely if the president himself looses an election, he WILL not leave the seat. Shikenah!!!

ojingbe: Do U Have Any Feelings For Your Cousin That You Are Unable To Express

i don't have feelings for my cousin o, but anytime am with her the urge for sex comes.

The problem is that she never tries to stop me.

Its like she likes it also.

I dont know what to do

You wan Bleep your sister? Dont you have a girlfriend? You had better run.

we no need unna vote. we go continue either we win or lose but blood go flow ooo. if unna like unna self, stay indoor throughout the elections

DAY11.:
Buh why is my country like diz?

Sincerely, am seeking answers to the same question. I smh in disgust of the whole thing.

ogb5: Its is worthy to note that a senator is praising the president. And from the report seems excited that a company has been taken back from an investor.

I just hope they have a plan to make that contraction called ajaokuta to work.

Someone need to study how those in eastern Europe were able to keep their soviet era factories functional till date.

Ajaokuta might just be a doomed project. Might just count our losses and move on. Maybe encourage private guys to build and run multiple little plants instead of the gigantic ajaokuta steel complex

I wonder why they had to sell at the initial stage if not for the greed of some politicians who decided to convert it to personal properties in the name PRIVATISATION. Nigerians should just watchout for PHCN because the people who are buying it are the same old names who neither had nor have anything for the vision of Nigeria. They refused to invest in Nigeria and are yet converting the available public companies to personal properties. Nigerian youths, watchout.

PAGAN 9JA:
I think its high time they abolish polygamy.

You can't abolish polygamy. You can only fight to have a democratic system which I think its absence is the problem of the above mentioned state.

Can it carry bags of garri for a long distance, please?

Gratia: God please give me plenty money in Jesus name AMEN!

amen and me too.

noskeybaba: Oya see this mmummu using curve 2 Aηδ saying blackberry is shiitt. May God deliver u.

Aηδ τ̅☺ all you band wagoners that are famzing with Android, most of u post with nokia x2. If we do an honest poll on what phones nairalanders use, I bet 60% use a blackberry phone. Nonsense!!!

I use samsung galaxy Y pro duos gt-b5512. it has physical keyboard and above all, has two sim slots. It cost 25k only and 16k for London used at Ladipo. Try one and you'll be conviced. Pls dont root or install a custom rom. You may not like it afterall.

lanre316: WhatsApp users will have no use for it.

It can only be useful for BB users who just migrated to Android platform.

All in all, BB is trying to gain some relevance in a iOS and android dominated tech world.

You lie. RIM is actually killing the already falling market of Blackberry. Samsung will make more money I bet you.

puskin: It looks like whatsapp has given them enough problems.

I bet you are right. Now they are about to dig their grave as people may now embrace android-powered devices the more. More money for Samsung.

I dont know what Sagna was thinking about. He gave the pass to Van Persie and eventually brought him down for a cheap penalty. A very clumsy display I tell you.

felixzo1: there are times when it is best to let go. in such a situation forgiving her will make it easier for you to move on. she may not be worthy of your love after all.they say once bitten twice shy.but holding grudges against her is wrong

Sincerely I have forgiven and let go of the whole thing. For more than 2 years, you wouldnt believe that my heart grieved but suddenly, one day, my phone notified me of her friend's request on facebook. I went to the notification, saw her and I suddenly felt stupid for holding on to the memories we shared for that long. I suddenly became free seeing the background of her pic which suggested that it wasnt as if things were that rosy. Shikenah but she keeps calling and I tell her I have nothing against. She is the one to forgive herself. Moreso, she should ask her baby for forgiveness for giving hin/her a wrong father cos the marriage is already over.

felixzo1: When we are younger we make a lot of mistakes and break up for stupid reason, most attimes things that are irrelevant to a matured mind. Age may change the way we look at issues and make us want to reunite and even marry our ex. Your present love is not always better than your ex.

Your point of view is circumstantial. You talk of when you were yong. What of the one that left after I graduated while she was in ND 3(part time) and instantly got engaged to another guy about 5 weeks just after I let go. She now has a baby n her marriage is off. She now wants to see me n apologise. Now, can u date dat person again. Will a young guy of my age marry a girl who already has a child for another man.

n,o, NO!!! If its the Kemi that still called yesterday to know if I have forgiven her, then its a NO!!! She suddenly followed her family's wish and got engaged in about 5 weeks after our break up which suggests she started dating the guy, who organised birthday bash for her even b4 we broke up. After a child, I heard the guy has ditched her, making her to start calling me to apologise, stressing 'I have offend you and I need to see you and personally apologise to you.' This is a guy I was ashamed to bring to the presence of my friends because her English is terrible but I decided to teach her. NO, not Kemi.

kandiikane: lool

Is it because your pen!.s never reaches 9inches? In fact, I was being generous with 9inches. Minimum is 9.5

How often do you come across 8 not to talk of 9.5 ? Well my hand arm is longer than 9.5 if you need a hand. I will be happy to help out.

Charles Shaw: Set ur Priorities right son.
The gurl shud take a hike, if not, She'd make u do silly Things nd Talk/force u into Marriage cos das her next Life Ambition.
Ur Academics nd Future is of paramount importance.
If u hav ears u shud Listen Son.

Or better still, play along and expect the worst since you dont plan to get married soon. If she give you do, take. If she no gree, burst. It wont be a bad idea if you get somebody else along the line. Guy, the truth people may actually not worth what we see. When you get out of a relationship, you think you have lost something you can never get back. It takes time to get over and when you eventually find someone you like after probably so many tries, you realise that you wasted your time feeling left alone over whereas you should have just gotten on.

I was about to go for my service some years ago when I realised my girl was also behaving funny. Although she asked me earlier of when I would come and see her mum, I told her that she should give me time as I needed to finish the service, come back, find something to do. I told her my plans with all sincerity of heart but she told me that what actually happened was that there was a guy, a family friend of theirs that was asking her parents for her hand in marriage. I heard her and could quote her word for word but I kept quiet. Some days later, I asked her for explanations but she said she was not listening to them. Some days later I called and asked of where she was but she said she was in a bus which i realised was a lie. One thing led to another and she was gone while I was on my way to orientation camp. Years after, she called one day and told me she had looked and looked forward to seeing me again for long cos she needs to ask for forgiveness in person. She said she was haing some challenges and she realised she has offended me. I told her its all gone now. She has a baby now but I heard that the guy has ditched which is probably the challenges she has.

991: you sound like you have a good plan for your life, ignore/dump her and move on, you still have a long life-journey ahead.

from my yrs of relationship experience, there was another guy on the line the moment she was behaving funny, but as usual, the play boy has hit and run, and the lady is asking you back.

"the beautiful ones are not yet born" move on with your life, education and career. gudluck!!

All well said. However, it may not be a case of a playboy thing but that her level don pass hin own.

@op Pls let her be and try as much as possible to gather your life together. At 24, its not too late to get admitted into another higher institution and get on.

Ijogz K: Sending love messages to someone who's yet to give you total green light.. In fact I wouldn't advice anyone to send love messages to a babe dey aint dating yet, cuz you might just be a laughing stock in midst of her friends. I would advice you to act like a Man, give yourself a little pride and make yourself a little scarce.

If she truly Luvs u, she would look for you. Except you have given her enough reasons to friendzone you.

Maybe it's just me, Mi o ra ye fún iranu

Its good he sent her the messages because they were getting along and she was collecting his money. If he hadnt done that, he would have still been in the dark believing that she is for me. Besides, an average girl who wants a guy that is running after her should appreciate the messages and reciprocate. Haba! Some girls are so daft o! You dey collect hin money and you believe say nothing dey happen?

@op you deserve better. First delete her no so that you dont call her. I bet she will call you one day and complain you dont call her any longer. Tell her your phone had a problem and you misplaced some numbers including hers. Den tell her that furthermore, you felt you needed to stop stalking her and thats why you felt you should let her be.

kandiikane: Because you can tell. I guess you haven't been around joysticks much.

..plus he's white. that shyt isn't extending to 9inches

Do you need 9 inch b4 u get satisfied? If u do, then you must be hell of a pit.

Dawdy: Nairalanders, abeg make una support dis maga with gud advice, No make d girl finish am patapata.

What advice does he want again? Cant he deduce from all that has been said here?

If I were to be him, I wouldnt bring the discourse here. I fell into a similar situation of a girl who wanted to hold me for a maga. I first deleted her no so that even if I changed my mind say make I call am, I no go fit because her no dey with me any longer. She later called and realised I deleted her no. Later on, I saw her on whatsapp. We started talking and she dey tell me say I no dey straight-forward which prompted me to tell her the story of her life. I went as far as telling her that I decided to leave her for the people that need her service cos I was out for something better.

By the time I was through telling her the story of her life, she yabbed my mother and even threatened to pay me for making her to shed tears. Who cares? But unna no go believe say she neva repent.

tpacalipse: I bet this is a maga to the core. How could these boyz just assume the role of a babe's father and they think love would always be the response from the babe.

I cant help but laugh at the idea of him assuming the role of her father. You sabi, I no lie.
