Which Way Nlng?

The way this thread is going, there may soon be no place in it for me. I may soon leave you guys to have your fun your own way. Opokonwa, I thank you.

@ All I hail o. Obviously I can't comment on all i've read . Just coming up to speed with thing since my last posting. Interesting topic about investment. Methinks u can look at investing from the time value of money perpective, 1k today might be worth much more than 10k to you tomorrow so if you can get that 1k today and invest it wisely, it may be more beneficial to you than 2k tomorrow,  Make i no drag us back to old topics jare.

@ Kuwena, first of all i want to congratulate you on the US VISA stuff, since that's what you've always wished for, I'm happy for you and I pray you find fulfillment over there. I can assure you, no one's chasing you off the thread, rather you have the honour of always painting yourself in a weird light atimes. In a way it helps the thread progress towards the 200 page mark faster because peeps will always respond to your posts but i'm sure you can always post more value adding topics rather than the ones that cause consternation and draw out the ire of some people. I think you shouldn't look at Opoks as having it in for you, he's just the kind of person that says things as he sees them while others may say theirs in a more diplomatic way.

I couldn't go through all what you wrote and others replies but I must tell you straight up that blood is always thicker than water, you can't say you love someone you met on the net more than your siblings because when push comes to shove, your own blood will stick closer to you. I think you really need to stop dwelling on the past and face the future. There are other issues i choose not to comment on not because I agree with them but because I think somethings are better left unsaid. And I must advise you to always consider what you put down so that they don't come back to haunt you in the future. I must advise you to speak with elders and listen to what they'll tell you, adversities will always come but they are meant to be overcome and not to overcome us, they are meant to make you stronger. It is when one has overcome them that one can beat his/her (make Jisi no fight me) chest and call himself a man.

How do you feel any of your siblings will feel if they happen to come on all these postings of yours where you openly denounce them? Do you think it's always going to be smooth sailing? So what happens if there's a glitch in the program or something and you need a backup somewhere? Who do you run to? Friends? Those are the periods you need your family most to help you pass through the trying times and the family you have now are your siblings. Whatever you do please hold on to them because even the wife you might decide to marry tomorrow may desert you but your blood has no choice but to be tied to you forever. So if you sacrifice anything for your siblings, don't look at it as something you did for them but as something you did for yourself.

Having said that i must say you try o, first it was the cult thingy  , then from there u progress go love , walahi when i see love and efrybody come dey pour out love i come dey wonder, na him i run go check my calendar sharp sharp check to confirm say no be say i de live for future or for past, i see say no be Feb 08 or Feb 09, I come breathe sigh of relief. Anyway me i dey enjoy the thread and all the peeps wey post normal, boring, educative and even weird topics. I think that's my own "litany" of love.

@ Opoks, sometimes silence is golden or better still diplomacy is silver.  (CYBER SCREAM) AND WOULD YOU AND KUWENA STOP PICKING UP ON EACH OTHERS' POSTING AND ANALYZING IT SENTENCE BY SENTENCE? 
@ Tommy congrats on your LNG call up.
@ Kenosky, ow u dey? I'm sure u'r doing great.
Jisi 419 ke? Which 419 i do u? Tok quick before i carry u go EFCC for defamation of character. How you dey? Still keeping it real ba?
Annify, Alfaprime, Stan, Pak and every other person, I hail una.

Heen heen who was it that posted that stuff about boring Chelsea - Liverpool match? I'm sure you've eaten your words now. No vex say i dey bring am up, I Love the Blues die. This na our season, make Wigan just help us shock them Manchester United for final match make we collect the two trophy wey still dey up for grabs this season. As per Champions league, if na to die, the players ready to die for there. I don't just see Manchester United taking that cup this season. But it's all a game and it's played on the pitch and not on web pages so till May 21st, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Niyooo, good to have u back- i come dey fear say Jisi don true true carry u go EFCC o (Can u confirm to us that they have underground cells? ). Sha, all doz barbs wey dey fly around just go to show that kuwena is a genius- effortlessly stirs up the hornets nest at will- na beans?  , . As for opoks, leave the guy, im never hear say the rzn we have 2 ears and one mouth be say make we listen more and yarn less (them go give am blow for mouth one day! )

Lastly, you're blues for life shey? Sorry to disappoint u but your blood dey RED abi wetin u think? Now u are hoping Wigan help u beat Manchester United- u dey dream abi u dey awake so? Una don beat Newcastle for St James or even Bolton for stamford before u hope for the impossible? Just wait till 21st and truly your players will want to die after their skies are painted RED from the sky blue that it is now! Even Opoks wey wan go help Abramovich rig match for moskow in favour of chelski

I must confess i have been doing a lot of copying and pasting lately.
abi you get book or website wey you dey copy am from?



I have always appreciated your sense of humour (I appreciate humour anytime, anywhere)
but I guess there is no point joking about sacred things,
there are soooo many other topics to joke about.

All these Arsenal fans wey no fit shut up!



Exciting news?
Are you getting married?
Do you need contributions??



Why small na?!
Why not 'Big'??!
Ok I get, make my head no swell? _{yeah! I like my head the size wey e be.}

Kenosky-----craze part 1 . Opokss----- craze part 2 . And for being doubting thomas' I wont be telling you the good nuz.


i dey sleepy too much nowadays oh. Please 4give me guyzz but i gotta go to sleep.

Opoks, I'm not seeing it as picking on anyone, all I'm saying is there are somethings you just ignore and it has nothing to do with politics. Haba!!! It's not everything wrong you see that you try to correct. You stay in Lag now, how many of the wrongs that you see daily do you try to correct?    For example you are on your way to work, you see someone drive like a mad man as is very common in Lag, do you now stop and say you want to go and correct it? No. You can't correct the whole world. People are "different" and their outlook and perception of life differs. You can't always make someone see things your what even though your way may be right. Somethings you just ignore, You don't have to reply to every post now. The fact you don't reply doesn't mean you don't see it.

@ Jisi, Exciting news wey dey wait for two days?   Na wah even the conception of Mary no create tension tey reach that. Abi our Bachelor Speaker House of Rep don propose?

@ Kenosky, No worry if Wigan no do am for us, we go do am ourselves. We go beat Bolton 24 - 0  

Stan nice art work.

@ all good night.

I wonder what we are arguing about here?

A litany was called and I duly posted mine.

Kuwena responded with a his characteristic very long post.
Kenosky responded
Stannesi responded
Jisi responded
Opoks! then responded in his characteristic very critical manner and took over the thread, discussing other issues.
Alfaprime responded
Then Kuwena again
And again Kenosky
Then came Niyoo with his 'silence is golden or better still diplomacy is silver'

I wonder if it was only Opoks! Opoks! Opoks! Opoks! that you saw up there?

Everyone else wrote their minds, criticisms and 'corrections' as you put it. It was only Opoks! own that you read?

And may I ask, if 'silence is golden', I wonder why you proceeded to write your own thesis below:


You should have simply dropped in and said;

"All I hail o!
_{*No comment*}"

And walk away.

Or

"All I hail o!
  "


Or better still;

"All I hail o!
_{silence is golden}"

And walk away.


Guy please practise what you preach.

No need raising unnecessary red flags!

Kuwena, its new meaning does not change the message or the lesson.

 



 

Enuff is enough o jare! una well?

Guys, I think Opoks is making a point in his last post. Come to think of it, he wasn't the one who initiated the idea of a Litany in the first place. Secondly, he wasn't the only one who responded to Kuwena's lengthy post either. I also did, as did so many others some of whom he has already listed. You could also say that, inasmuch as Kuwena's lenghty post had nothing to do with a litany, the ensuing discussions generated by the post and Niyoo's comments needn't attempt tying the two together.

However, where I think Opoks may have got it mixed up was in his understanding of the whole concept of litany. Opoks, Kuwena wasn't exactly asking us to give our impressions of people on the thread. If that was his suggestion, then your litany was accurate, 100% to the definition, for You were sincere in stating both the  good and poor impressions we've individually made on You. Rather, what Kuwena asked for was simply to write about the good sides of people on this thread. I think that's simple enough, considering that even the worst sinner or criminal on earth also has some innate good qualities in him that anyone who knows him could talk about. Yes? Agreed? So even if You knew a thousand terrible, unprintable things about someone but only one positive thing about the person, for instance, what Kuwena suggested doing was only to talk about that one positive attribute! Recall the anecdote he shared about the class of students who were asked to write notes to encourage one another?


Finally before leaving this not-too-uplifting issue, Kuwena, I'd like to revisit what I mentioned earlier (in passing?) about the propriety of the word "litany". Have You checked it up in the dictionary yet? Not a very postive word, I must say. Apart from the original meaning which refers to prayers offered to God by a priest, the other contemporary meaning refers to a long, boring account or story. To talk about a , "litany of love", well, is quite a novel concept. Perhaps that's why some people decided to take it at face value, if You know what I mean.

@Stannesi

Really! I mean, I doff my hat! Don't think I've met anyone who's so artistic with these simple, ordinarily dry-looking keyboard characters. Keep it up.

Cheers all. Certainly, the topic's going to change. And while we're at it, does anyone know anything about the dangers of giving out soft loans? I'd like to know if it's related to this issue of investing with "other people's money" or something like that. i.e, where someone puts all his money to work by probably investing it, and then comes along to borrow money from You (without interest, of course!) in order to get by till the next pay day, ,

Soft loans actually depend on the recipient. If the person in question is trustworthy, you can go ahead to lend. The only danger in giving out soft loans is that you may NEVER get your money back! As a personal rule, i only lend to others what i can afford to lose. Well, in my opinion, i don't think it is the same as investing with other people's money and let me explain;

In every financial economy , there are 2 classifications. Providers of capital and Spenders of capital. The savers (people that save in the bank) are the providers while the borrowers (people that borrow from the bank) are the spenders of capital while the Bank is the financial intermediary.

The idea of using other people's money is to have leverage. This is similar to the principle of the Bible (where 1 will chase 1,000 and 2 will chase 10,000 - somewhere in Ecclesiastes or so ). The borrower goes to the bank and gets (borrows) capital at a particular interest rate, which is the cost of that capital. His objective is to do business with the money over with a specific time frame, and turn it over such that the revenue will be enough to take care of the interest incurred and some profit for his troubles. However, please note that the money (capital) used in question was provided by other people (the savers). He only bore the risk and controlled the cash. This is the basic principle of using Other People's Money.

The idea of someone investing his money and then borrowing from you till the next pay day isn't necessarily using other people's money, because the amount deployed for investment is still a function of his sole effort. The concept of OPM would only stand if the money borrowed was added to his personal own and then invested, but borrowing from a colleague for personal consumption and not business purposes is not an effective utilization of OPM.

My 2 cents 

@ Recent posters
Thanks for the quick responses. Annify & Niyooo, I'm quite interested in your explanations. Shedding more light,  Still await more posts on the questions. Thanks all. Have a great Wednesday.
