Why have you resolved to call him an Id!ot? He didn't have a choice picking his place of birth. And I'm sure he would enjoy some of the domestic Ibadan delicacies if he were to visit any time soon.

If I were born in the USA or the UK, I would have had the right to claim being a citizen of either country. Jokingly going by the same ideology, Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith from the Matrix triology) would be an Ibadan man.

Reading only the topic without reading the report the OP quoted, I'd just assume Nigeria wants to lend Russia money to build more nuclear power plants in developed countries not Nigeria. Me sef wan invest o. Call me...

I'm sure the OP meant to post this topic in the jokes section. Nigeria in the same sentence as nuclear or atomic? ASUU strikes, Doctors' strikes, security issues, etc remain mysteries to our govt and a nuclear plant is what they believe they can manage better? What's the state of Kanji or even Egbin plants? Infact, I can't pray for better power supply if a nuclear option is what's left. I'd gladly keep buying fuel and paying for Gen maintenance. I believe in miracles, but this is a genocide-wish!

I guess you should have resolved the problem by now.
In my case, I tried re-inviting 2pips, then chilled and then did hard reset. So whether twas step 1, 2 or 3 OR ALL that worked I don't know buh I gat all my bbm contacts back.
Just my 2cents.

@ OP,

As in seriously? Thot i was in the Jokes section!

@ Topic,
Hmmmm… So finally it's happening!

daylae: No wonder he's been flashing me.

Lol. Yea! He needs his towel boy back!

Okiki_Oluwa: I want Mourinho to coach a club like Getafe, Southampton or Genoa & help them to the Champions League in 4 years. If he can do that, I ll show him more respect.

Valid point there brov, but most people like to roll with success or near-success!

some pips had also previously shared their experiences. Below is the link to the specified thread:

Great Memories! Welldone Seun, MOD's, visitors and (of course) members for giving Nairaland life. Some of us have even made NL our breaking news notice board.

Thinking: so what would NL look like in another 10years?

This is crazily hilarious! This should have caused another 'Occupy Nigeria' with a clamour for recruitment of competent people (or at least people that know the difference between their left & right).

Meeeeeeehn, I see comedians & sharp artistes smiling to the bank based on the 'My oga at the top' saga!

Thanx pips for ALL info shared so far. My colleagues at the office also thank you because i shared your info with them even when some were reluctant to know. Now they're aware and each person's thinking of how to cross the hurdles created by our supposed friends @ VIO & FRSC.

In all, i think i have decided to take a week off work sometime soon to go do my DL renewal somewhere in Kwara, Osun or even Edo state if Lagos wahala is this bad courtesy of our Population in Lagos. Eko o ni baje o!

Tiwa's a good singer, no doubt, especially with all the international exposure she's had. Nonetheless, i would give my vote to Omawumi because she is an entertainer. Omawumi would captivate her audience far better than Tiwa can.

Put differently, i would say, "Omawumi is an African, very rich in her entertainment styles courtesy of culture; but Tiwa is an Oyinbo African that has some elements of unpractised African richness."

Thanx blank for the info. Make i put on my 'reading' mind straight away!

longest time! how u doing?

@ topic,
patricia d luvly kid!

crusufixo:

This is quite an informative thread. Mine expired recently and I have being hearing stories of the processes in getting one and quite frankly its seems frustrating,stressful and scary. So please, can anybody who has gone through the processes, give a detailed explanation ( including costs ) on how to go about it.And also, locations of the offices. I would really appreciate if anyone can respond to this. Thanks

I can imagine how you feel. Mine should expire in another 3 months. Hence, my search for information.

Well, I've been crazily busy at work, but scantily breezed through the VIO website. I aint really gleaned the information therein, but i guess there's love in sharing. The link to the website i came across is http://www.viodvla.com/sl/page.php?pg=Driver%20Licence&subpg=Driver%20License%20Process

I plan to read through properly later on, but everyone is welcome to share their experience and/or information he/she has.

Thanx in advance. One luv to the ogas on top!

Hello Mod(s)!

hmmmmm... don't you think this topic would get lost in this section?

I think there should be a more appropriate section for this topic so that people can at least find it (for education purpose) even if people don't post at all. I believe, at least, one person could learn something from my previous post.

would Arsenal follow in Barca's footsteps?

wow!

The gist about VIO/FRSC/LASTMA harassing people about driver's licence has gone virile. Different stories have emanated about people being fined =N=20,000 for having a 'fake' licence. First of all, did these people print the licence in their houses or offices? Leaving this as a rhetorical question, i decided to search for information online. Below is what i found:


(For applications submitted in manual forms)
The license holder will obtain an application form from the VIO/BIR representative at the licencing office. The applicant will complete the form and submit it to one of the FRSC officers who will capture the information on the form into the Drivers’ License application. The Applicant will then need to make payment for the application at a bank using an application id number which will be issued by the FRSC officer. Once payment has been made, the applicant will take the acknowledgement slip to the BIR officer in the licencing office for registration. The applicant will then proceed to the VIO officer in the licencing office for screening and approval. After this, an FRSC officer at the licencing office will capture the applicant’s biometric information and issue a temporary drivers’ license which will be valid for 60 days. The driver’s licence will be available for collection within the 60 day period.

(For applications submitted electronically)
The Applicant will access and complete the online application form. The Applicant will then need to make payment for the application either at a bank or online. Once payment has been made, the applicant will take the acknowledgement slip to the BIR representative in the licencing office for registration. The applicant will then proceed to the VIO officer within the licencing office for screening and approval. After this, an FRSC officer at the Information Processing Center will capture the applicant’s biometric information and issue a temporary drivers’ license which will be valid for 60 days. The driver’s licence will be available for collection within the 60 day period.

Now, great people of Nairaland, can anyone who has had the opportunity to get a purported original driver's licence done in the last 6months please educate me(us) because the referenced site seems to be talking about a crazy process that seems to make close to no sense to me.

Thank you in anticipation of a worthwhile discussion.

OP,

na wa o!

might be a fun ride of a lifetime on a regular day, but won't want to be anywhere closeby during a storm.

Buh it shows man's creativity sha! Abi na ability to adapt?

Hmmmm…

We are able to connect with jokes differently:
1. some based on content;
2. Some based on specific words that remind us of something from our background, things we've seen on tv, stuff we read somewhere;
3. Some based on the personality of the person cracking the joke e.g if basket mouth were cracking a joke most of us would be smiling in anticipation before we heard the punch line(s).

This is not the politics section so I'd stop my lecture here. .
