cook,certainly not,^{i cant cook}, clean- for a girlfriend , NO, you probably did it to prove
your love, and please do not try it again or post such. For your wife its ok.You mean , you go to her
place sleepover(sex), tidy and cook.Do you collect transport money when you are going back home

Nice write up, Yet with a very-"nigerianish" feel, filled with high sounding, lung-filling , tongue-tingling
(apologies to W.S)words such as intelligence,perseverance,determination etc. But still missing a vital point,
Why don't we take action, because we do not have a reason to do so, we lack a "why".

Back to the subject matter,
Have u Ever wondered how the Boko haram founder was able to influence so many people, he gave them a "WHY",
how he was able to get so many young and bright fellows to burn their degree certs and follow him, getting
people from different ethnic groups, social classes to believe in His cause. He gave them something they
could relate to. No matter how much ion, determination, intelligence, you might have, if you do not have
a "Why" , it is all useless.

Most Nigerians have not found that "Why",and that is why Nigeria is the way it is, We look towards
the Arab spring and most people would say they were ionate, determined, etc and they were fighting
for Democracy, i beg to differ , it had less to do with democracy but had all to do with freedom
and the right to self fulfillment.

P.S ***Mondays are not for thinking and long talk****

ashamed of what?? if i cannot cook, whose problem is it..........mine, what is the big deal
with cooking sef, no be to put pot on fire,put tomato , put oil, add pepper, salt, meat
and other things, wait 30-45 minutes, bring down the pot and voila, u have a pot of stew.
NO i am not ashamed , its just that the stew tastes funny.

With pockets heavy from the success of its IPO, it seems FACEBOOK wants to become a hardware maker,
Speculation is rife on many tech sites about a FB phone which might be named "BUFFY", seems mark and
co have been hiring some ex-apple staff to work on it, and it would not be FB's first try.
With instagram and other nice apps the FB-phone might just be the competition that would force
Apple, Google's Motorola and Microsoft/Nokia to think twice about Mark and his 900million friends

so i would want to ask, would you buy a FB phone , where your FB friends become your phone book,and
ur wallpaper read "what is on your Mind"personally probably not, but i am optimistic about it,
^{maybe the "Man who brought FB to Nigeria" might be their first customer}

wow, kudos to His Eminence, its been a long time(1975)till date,
one of the true great Nigerians who has been true to himself and to
GOD.

thanks Bontee, i have found the files and currently analyzing then with some friends and
and it was underwhelming, imagine comparing price per kilowatt to price per minute for
phone calls, also on that table(myto for the layman doc) they tell us that the price per kwhr
when using petrol generators is N22, which is also the same price for MYTO, and if u add
the fixed charges, petrol generators become cheaper, why then should consumers use
PHCN.

Secondly in the whole documents they never explained the reasons for the fixed charges,
there was no load assumption as in myto1 and so we have no target for generation, so
they might just bill us like crazy wit no increase whatsoever.

they have so far not convinced me that they have any credible roap to achieving stable power
supply, the only option they have shown is- "WE WOULD INCREASE AND *HOPE* INVESTORS COME"

still looking through some of the files though , would update when im done.

Bontee.thanks for the pics, i have been searching for those for a while, not even
the NERC has the boldness to put it on their website. i foresee mass beating of PHCN
staff as these insane bills come onstream,How will they determine consumption rate
or would they continue using the same Residential area system they have now,why would
a Residential 3&4 KWHRz(price) be higher than that of commercial or industrial

I am seriously considering turning my house to a factory, if this goes through, what is
it with the crazy fixed charge , those guys at NERC must have lost it,so we have gone from
having the lowest price to having the highest(in africa) without any increase in Generation
.BTW these tariffs to not tally with prices on the much touted MYTO document.
for most of us who dont understand the prices, just multiply ur current bill by 2 and then
put 22,000 per month fixed charge, then u will get ur new bill, for me that 32k per month
for 7 hours of power (1.00 am to 8.00am)^{vampire time}


i better use the money to buy a GUN as the bill collection might turn ugly

A MONTH after his 2009 graduation from Yale Law School, Seun Adebiyi learned he had not one but two lethal
blood cancers and began an odyssey to find a bone-marrow donor. Mr. Adebiyi, 28, who came to the US from
Nigeria as a child, made appeals through Yale, on radio stations, in a YouTube video and even on a trip
to Nigeria to ask law students to volunteer.

But finally, his doctor called, saying that a Nigerian woman in the US had donated her baby’s umbilical
cord blood to a “cord-blood bank” and that the stem cells in it were a close enough match. After his
own marrow — the source of his cancers — was wiped out, those cells were infused into him at Memorial
Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He has been in remission since.

Now he is trying to repay that debt, with an effort that experts say may save the lives of both Nigerians
and black Americans. In February, he helped start Nigeria’s national bone-marrow registry, the first
in Africa outside South Africa. He is now raising money to start a cord-blood bank there.

Millions of Nigerians have blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma, and about 4,000 black Americans
die annually of them. Less than 20 per cent of black Americans now find the perfect donor matches
that could save their lives, while more than 70 per cent of whites do. Without a registry and
cord-blood bank, no Nigerians do.

with most of the posts here, it would be difficult for the stock market to recover to its past heights,
The "new" stock market is going to be a short termed investment , not the long term
"own a stock and give it to your kids" investment. so those who would make it in the market would be
active investors not ive ones like the poster above(btw go to the NSE website to get those prices).

As one of my broker friends would say " in a market you buy and sell i.e trade, you dont buy and store"
for a major market recovery, the markets should be made more efficient, faster execution times and lower
broker, NSE and CSCS charges, so we could move in and out of stocks easily thereby boosting liquidity.

a lot of reactionary dumbos on the thread, instead of stating ur reasons for ing
cremation, ur more interested in calling names. maybe its the gay slant that is tipping u guys overboard.
i do not for any reason cremation ,i dont oppose it for those who like it, but saying "Voluntary"
cremation for unclaimed corpses sounds like gibberish to me

Its not normal,first its against our religious and cultural beliefs, are we running out of spaces
to bury our dead.how 'normal' is it, why dont we import everything else that is 'normal' around the
world? e.g gays etc

i stumbled across this while surfing the net, weird stuff.

Cremation may soon become a popular practice in the country as a bill seeking to legalise voluntary
cremation of the dead and unclaimed corpses yesterday, scaled the second reading on the floor of the
Lagos State House of Assembly. The bill entitled: A bill to legalise voluntary cremation of corpses
and unclaimed corpses in Lagos State was sponsored by the chairman of the Assembly's Committee on Health
Care Services, Suru Avoseh.

The bill is aimed at tackling congestion in public mortuaries. While intimating his colleagues on the need
to bill, Avoseh said it addressed the pathetic state of public mortuaries and challenges being faced
by health officials due to shortage of land for mass burial of unclaimed corpses.

He decried the present situation in which corpses are abandoned in mortuaries for several months, thereby
stretching the capacity of the mortuaries to its limits. He said: During our visit to the mortuaries as a
member of the adhoc committee, I was disturbed to see heaps of corpses that were not claimed by their
relatives. So, Lagos should once again take the lead in the introduction of this legislation in the country.

@bandit c: why should the bus coy be blamed,EKENE Tranport used to be one of the most trusted but these days
since the property squabbles began it has been going south.how do u explain a scenario where not one
bus but also the replacement bus develops faults.When my sis was there buses conveying students reached
lagos not later than 3.30 pm. btw it happened at ijebu-ode not ore.Please leave
travelling extensively outta the matter

@IRAPADA, maybe we should also blame all those who sent their children to loyola jesuit(plane crash) , abuja or parents
ok kids in unity schools.

nice write up
as one who served also in plateau nd spent a lot of time in gombe, bauchi,southern KD, adamawa.i would say ur conclusions
are 60% tenable.but the main thrust of the "northern generalization" is that the north sees itself or wants to be seen as
a homogeneous zone, there are 3 geo political zones up north, you never here of North west GOV forum, North central Gov forum,
etc,unlike the south. its just the northern gov forum.
SO if u say there are different tribes and nobody gets to see or hear about them then they "dont exist",no jukun, kataf ,
idoma, berom,tarok, michika,nupe pressure groups unlike the those of the south.
on the religious angle , the discrimination against indigenous northern Xtians is alarming, a visit to Gombe town would almost
convince you that its a 90% muslim city , which is not true

lets leave the population issue aside, we know how that is done

hotbed for violence, the north has been a hot bed since 1956.
leave NYSC out of it,have u forgotten the corpers who died in bauchi, i nd some friends were almost killed in nassarawa gwom and bukuru on different occassion,
would any sane person risk death just to " Experience the North", so as u can see the problem is not us but YOU- Northerners

@ jmaine : for holy rosary sec school enugu the PTA does no such thing, The arrangement went like this parents give money to students
who are then escorted by teachers/matrons to the ekene ,which is near the school, there they board the buses, EKENE is the only transport coy
that the students use.
The presence of adults(evil strangers) serves to put the drivers in check,

WTF, reckless and totally preventable situation,
1)why would a driver of a bus continue a journey at night in full knowledge of the dangers of doing such

2) when did holy rosary sec sch start chartering buses exclusively for students, that was irresponsible as those young girls
would not have had the ability to caution or stop the driver, b4 the students usually boarded Ekedilichukwu buses with
other adults not by themselves,i know this because my younger sis is an alumnus of the school and took the same journey
countless times, also my cousin would have been on that bus if she not for the fact that she is spending the holidays
with her grand parents.

culpability on the part of ekenedilichukwu and the SCHOOL in the owners of the school.sue all of them for mind-boggling sums
but first trauma treatment for the youngsters who went through the ugly situation.

WTf, : (

A country bedeviled by a military/paramilitary -political complex, a country in which military men see themselves as been above the law, where ex-servicemen control virtually all important sectors of the country.Sometimes i wonder if Nigeria would have been better if the khaki boiz and their cousins had not "intervened" in 1966 and 1983, it would probably have saved us from the civil war and from individuals like Abacha, IBB, and co.Mustapha etc

Very useless comment by another of the khaki wearing boiz, what has nigeria benefited by having so many military/paramilitary men in our politics, are they any better than the non military politicians. our politics is dominated by ex service men with their so called training yet everything seems to be heading south.

If a quarter of all our so-called politicians ed through the NDA, Nigeria would be a better place. I’m from Southern Nigeria and most of my friends are from the North. By virtue of our training, if I am walking with you and you fall, it is my duty to look after you, whether dead or alive. And we were expected to carry on this tradition, even after leaving the academy. Once I asked a minister if he could suggest a t training of the police, Customs, Road Safety Corps, Immigration Service and the military for two years to the President, now that the NDA had moved to its permanent site. After two years, everybody could go to their different departments. Some French-speaking countries practise the method and they are likely to carry the esprit de corps even outside the institution and into civil life. Today, if I go to Kano, I don’t look for where to stay. I just have to make a telephone call to my friend, who is a Muslim, and tell him that I’m in town. The same thing happens when he visits my part of the country. Why should I be comfortable while my friend Bako from Kano is in town without a place to stay? No way. I suggested that to the minister and I don’t know whether he did anything about it. So, that was the kind of training we had at the NDA. That time, there was no church or mosque within the premises of the NDA. The same bus would carry Christians and Muslims to town and drop everyone at either the church or mosque and when we have finished, the same bus would take everybody back to the academy. That tells you the kind of training we had in that place.

The bombing is just the start.the retailation esp against those muslims living on the other side of the rd towards bukuru wld be terrifying.frm experience the boys in that area hav been waitin for such an excuse.

Onions and tomato together for Pot(UK), come make stew , now tomato friend dey ask us, should we tell onions say stew done ready
or should we pour the stew away?
She has to decide if the she wants the baby, its a personal choice, telling the onions father may or may not lead to acceptance of responsiblity,
if she can handle the rejection that might follow, nd brace up to be a single mum, then she should keep it if not then  the baby could be aborted
or giving up for adoption.

Seun abeg kill the topic,we all saw what happened with voter reg.i had a friend who ed more than 500 fake voters nd sold the voters card during the registration.how many fake voters were caught and how many were charged.imagine wat wil happen wen u have a 9k incentive.

The place na carnival grounds, but the crowds are getting much larger than dat of yesterday,many more would be encouraged to show up 2moro nd later across the nation.But im worried that its getting more political,i would not be suprised if we see the "crying General"2moro.dis na real "lagos party" *apologies banky w*

NOI,SLS we are tired of hearing it.stop it.we  know subsidy isnt good for us.but we dont trust the GOVT to do any better.and ngozi stop the maternal mortality stuff.u knw nothing abt it,if they cant get other peeps to give a differen angle, they can continue talking to themselves.

kill this idea.its has more holes than the subsidy we are fighting over.who knows how many nigerians actually exist.what stops our neigbours from invading and claiming to be nigerians.no database to confirm identity and check fraud,how will the vouchers be distributed,would GOVT do it or would we leave to the "CABAL".do we hav any national proof of age/citizenship certificate or would it be by "sworn affidavit"how would it be funded.PLZ do not open another avenue for corruption."KILL CORRUPTION ALONGSIDE FUEL SUBSIDY"

prepare ur austerity measures,cut all frivolous spending,i forsee economic slowdown.i see the light at the end of the tunnel,but its either a train or some drunk fisherman roastin plantain with our subsidy "savings".This is how government builds "trust",the anti removal proponentS at the town hall charade must be feeling like dimwits.JUST BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING

prices of most goods would,cost of living would increase dramatically,transport cost hit the heavens-e.g frm enugu to lag,which usually cost 2600 on a normal day nd 6k during festive period is at 10k to 14k this morning

New year gift,nice one but am afraid because of the likely inflationary effects nd its impact,am also worried that the subsidy savings wouid be shared by all tiers of government nd go into salaries nd corruption not investment. jensimi, gr8 post,u posted wat i was thinking nd wat would occur.gues its time to return home,burst that chevron well nd set up my refinery

The long arm of the law has finally caught up with Mohammed Jibrilu, who allegedly killed his wife in a hotel room in Tafa town, Niger State and disappeared. The deceased, Hadiza, was allegedly murdered on May 19, 2011. The suspect was said to have strangulated his wife to death after he had lured her from her father’s house in Ganma town, near Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

A police sources revealed to Daily Sun how Jemilu was apprehended at the premises of a commercial bank, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), after he had been on the run for about five months. He was immediately driven to Minna by homicide detectives where they started interrogating him about the death of the graduate of Sociology, from the University of Abuja.

The police sources further revealed how the suspect initially denied committing the crime, adding that when he was confronted with some documents, which included, call logs from one of the service providers, he owned up to the crime. The record showed telephone calls he reportedly made before and after the death of his wife. He confessed committing the crime but said the incident ‘was a mistake’, the source said.
