Now this Ish is mad funny, They not comfortable with Luciano, but are comfortable with Ras Kimono? Whose whole repertoire includes the fake assed patois lifted from people like Luciano? and 90% of his music catalogue are whole songs stolen from Jamaican artiste? Lets not act like, we dont know where most Nigerian artistes lift their inspiration from, P-Square, Tuface, Whizkid to name a few, It is rude to throw anything at any artiste, if you dont like his act, leave, Saying Foreign artistes should not be invited to perform in Nigeria is all well and good, if Nigerian arstistes too will sit their asses in Nigeria and not go on tours abroad. |

guysmat: And this is per individual, Take the average household, that has more than one care, and the figure you have is easily doubled. And lets not forget, this prices will not remain static forever, they will be reviewed upward sometime (or would that be multiple times) in the future. Not a well thought out plan. |

Mr. Key, You really need to stop being melo-dramatic. Why should you be ashamed of being black because of the acts of some? How do they represent you or what you stand for? I am yet to hear any white person apologize or feel ashamed to be white after the Norway Massacres, . Why would anyone see a Yob when they look at you? do you see a 419 every time you look at a Nigerian? Don't make me laugh, what you talking about you haven't seen looting in Somalia? Have you seen a recent picture of Somalia? What is there to loot? carcass? half the people there are not even strong enough to break down any sort of barriers. There is anger in the land, but does that justify burning businesses in their back yard? They are opportunistic fools who have taken what could have been a real issue/grievance and swept trivialized it. One of the fools was interviewed and she said she was getting her taxes back. she couldn't have been more than 16, so it begs the question who she paid her taxes to. There is enough blame to go around, between the system, the govt p***y footing about and not dealing decisively with the initial riots, and bad parenting, but non of that blame is yours. They do not represent you. Unless one of your kids was there, then you can blame yourself for having not raised him/her right. But you really need to pull yourself together, hold your head up and go about your business, There are a lot more upstanding minorities in that society than the numbers causing problems. |

candylips: Where in brooklyn or the bronx do you see guys carrying guns in broad daylight? Just curious, considering NY hasa one of the strictest and harshest gun laws in the country. Ask Plaxico Buress. Is the US any less violent than the UK (which recently has become the stabbing capital of the world). Before you reply with statistics and number of each crime per annum, remember to take the geographical spread and the population into consideration. |

@jason 2010, Not having the adequate technical know-how to deal with a problem doesnt automatically translate to a car being problematic, I can only assume you know nothing about the Nissan VQ35 engines, The engines are bullet proof, and do not break. That engine was rated top 10 best engines since its introduction in 2002. It replaced the 3.0 VQ30 (which was also consistently ranked top 10 since 1995 when the awards started). The VQ35, was pushed off the list and replace by another Nissan Engine the VQ37 currently used in the infiniti engine (and which maxima enthusiast have been asking to be put in the Maxima). Like everyone else has said, the gear system was a problem in the 6th gen, but this was in the early years (04-06) when they used 4speed A/T. But with the 5speed A/T, the (06-08) the problems were resolved, and Nissan went as far as backing this up by increasing the warrantly to 60k miles on the gear box as a show of faith, compared to the initial 36k miles. Bottom line is, treat the car well, do not abuse it, maintain it when due, and you will have made one of your best auto purchases interms of what you get for the money. The only down side to that car, is that the turning radius is atrocious, and you couldnt do a 3-point turn if your life depended on it. But that has been fixed in the 7th gen which isnt as bloated in terms of size. 1 Like |

Hmmmm, Perestroika, Nice to throw about buzz words, We do see what Perestroika did in the old USSR. Wasn't exactly restructuring as they would like you to believe, More like wealth redistribution |

My 2 cents, Whilst the guiding principle might be noble and real intent being to clear the streets of beggars. You still cant tell people how they choose to spend 'their' money. If there are no beggars on the streets, the citizens would have no one to give money to. Now the business of getting rid of the beggars belongs to the government, (that is why they were voted in, to solve the problems). Telling people to give money to charities and any other group is also naive and based on an assumption that these groups are well managed and not corrupt. A cursory glance at any of the biggest charities in the world would tell you 75% of funds recieved, goes into overheads and not to the people they were intended for. Cutting out the middleman is still the best way to help people (if that is indeed what you want to do), and should not be punished for it. In my opinion, it is an idiotic law, that cant be enforced, |

BennyBoy, I understand what you are saying. But I was just trying to point out something I found weird which I think still goes deep to the heart of stereotypes, It detracted from the argument/discussion in itself, But I could be wrong, |

bk.babe97y:Interesting way to try and apply attributes, One thing to note tho' Wesley speaks like Wesley but looks more like Djimon (not that there is anything wrong with that) than he does Shemar Moore. |

@igbobuigbo Then, if what you say is true, and the students signed something before accepting any scholarships or aids, then they have an obligation to fulfill their end of the deal. Or else, the school would be right for coming after them to the extent agreed. |

ladiipo:But you are missing the point Ladipo, You simply dont Mandate such without creating the enablers to go with it. Like someone already alluded to, provide the options and the jobs for them and see what percentage of the graduands will still be interested in travelling. |
![]() |
Simply not enforceable, Only caveat will be if they were made to sign an agreement before they got the scholarships, else there is no way you can force someone to stick to a locale for jobs. And even if there was such a stipulation when applying for the scholarship, there will be a buy-out option with penalities (such as high interest charged on the funds now considered to be a loan) if you decide not to honor your part of the agreement. But in no way can you revoke someone's certificate for getting a job where they want. And what is al the Visa talk? Are all graduands of this school Nigerian citizens, what if one of them won the Green card lottery, they will tell the American govt not to issue it? There are better ways and subtler ways to enforce such. |

OJ2010: You need to get out a bit more and widen your sphere of interaction and go beyond the losers you know, What do you mean working for the NHS? Hope you know there are doctors that are employees of the NHS also? I do agree with you on one thing though, 'abroad' is not a bed of Roses, neither is any other location in the world, |

Why is this even an issue? OP is probably correct with his 85% figure. If you read what he said, he said he took the figures from the people he knows. Invisible, all i can tell you is, you need to change the circle you run in. If 85% of the folks you know abroad are crooks, might actually be telling us a lot more about who/where/what you are than it says about Nigerians abroad. |

blinx4real: interesting, is this restricted to the foreign worker in Nigeria, or all over the world. Saying foreign workers dont fb or yahooo, is err, a bit short of being the truth to put it mildly, |

Ha ha, I see you are the resident clown. Wanna try another joke? perhaps something funnier, a total 153 posts in 5years should tell give you a hint even if you weren't that bright. I dont know Seun, I dont care for him either way, but bottomline is, it isnt a democracy. stop whinning, give as hard as you get (if you are so inclined and a net-warrior), if not, shut it, and ignore what you deem to be offensive threads. |
![]() |
Hate Seun all you want, but this isnt a democracy. It is his intellectual property, you didnt elect him to run nairaland. If people/members post what you dont like, ignore them, simple. Noone was forced to register and i am absolutely sure noone is forced to remain. Y' all need to quit the whining. The use of this site is actually a privilege and not a right. if he decides to sell/pull it down or whatever, noone can do anything about it. So until you start paying for the service, all assinine posts such as this need to be dropped |

chuqudy: This Aba Chuqudy??

And i actually understand that kobo. i know they have hardly re-invented the wheel, but i like to give credit where it is due, and also considering I personally see potential in the development. I just dont see that potential in the Polling Booth. I see it in other facets of naija life. If the machines do work, maybe we wont have to waste money and give to foreign 'experts' on more white elephant projects in the name of National Id Card scheme. |
![]() |
@Kobo, they are the one and only. Personally, I think it is laudable such can be developed. But we always start from the finishline and build backwards, The same country that does not have a functional database of its citizens, what would be the point of reference when gathering new biometric data? Another national Id scheme in the works? |
![]() |
How many machines have been created? How many need to be created and what is the realistic time frame to gather the 'biometric' data into a functional database before the 2011 elections. And shouldnt NigComSat be working on building the Nigerian Satellites and improving our communications infrastructure? |

pro01:Again the arrogance, Words like 'scamper, being stuck perpetually in a foreign land in search of the elusive golden fleece', and 'if they were lucky to hit it big' is still displaying the same mindset that started this thread and it is a tad condescending, even if you do not realize it. Perhaps the 'golden fleece' isnt totally elusive, maybe they found what they wanted, you never know. How may pple have being 'lucky to hit it big' in Nigeria in comparison to those who havent? I keep saying, it is always wrong to use your own realities/experiences and project that on a whole lot of people. There are Nigerians struggling in the UK (, there are Nigerians struggling in the US, but guess what? there are Nigerians struggling in Nigeria too, who would give anything to even be able to have the opportunity to 'scamper' and become 'runaway soldiers' to become stuck perpetually in a foreign Land. Y' all need to stay in your lane. So ok, they are stuck, not happy, jealous or whatever other adjective you want to use to describe them, but let them be. |

@OP, Another one of these 'innocent, unbiased, truth seeking" questions. I see through it all. It still strives to support the underlying theme that, 'the runaway soldiers who have chosen to call Diaspora home' (your words) are jealous of those who can afford to travel twice a year. One would wonder who is really jealous here. Why are Nigerians back home always trying to prove a point. Why is there the need to prove a point that those in DIaspora are not better than you, common, I mean, you can afford to travel 2ce a year (I can feel you breaming with pride, that you can afford to go to London 2ce a yr). GTFOH!!! If you feel people are jealous of ou because you are better than them, then stop showing up at their door, stop booking your tickets before finding out if it wil be convenient for them, or if they have plans, stop asking them to give you invitation letter. Why dont you just show up in London, get a cab from the airport and get to that hotel in Park Lane or any other city for that matter - I am sure there are good hotels everywhere- and do your tourist business before heading back. 1 Like |

I am guessing the OP has no preference yet, and the topic says a Maxima Vs. a camry. My post only meant to say the comparison is apple and oranges. Car manufacturers, for the most part, compete amongst themselves in a big to capture market segments, hence models and specs. The camry is is competitor to the accord, in terms of the market segment the manufaturer had in mind. The maxima on the other hand is sedan with sports handling in mind (was the first car to be tagged the 4DSC <4 door sprots car>). And is Nissans' flagship model. In terms of ruggedness and resale value, It is relative. The Camry would always have better resale value because it is more popular and by extension has a better support infrastructure. In terms of ruggedness, the Maxima is more rugged than the Camry. In terms of fuel consumption, all manufacturers throw out numbers (the max averages 20-21mpg and the Camry averages 20-24mpg), but do not forget the maxima's engine is bigger and the performance figures are better, so the the consumption is impressive for engine., Bottom-line is, you are the only one who knows what you want in a car and what makes it right for you, fuel consumption, ruggedness, performance, interior finishing.premium sound etc, |

Maxima> Camry. You would compare the Camry with an Accord, and the Maxima would rank with an Avalon, which are the flagship models of both manufacturers, |

Like Sienna said, it depends on the specs, The ML55 is a mean beast and is only bested by the BM X5M, |
