Opoks. I LOVED your write up. Kenosky (ABC) You dey celebrate pass the original Man. You. fans!!!!  You worry o. I guess Arsenal is number two despite the fact they didn't get anywhere?  If the parameter being used to judge is the Champions league, then Chelsea'll have to be number 2. If it's something else, then I guess it'll be false for even the Man. You. fans to claim they are number 1 in the world.

Abeg someone should get a better topic. This thread lacks topics other than 'personalities' And lately, 'sports'.Can someone take us through anything enlightening, entertaining or educating? Most of the master posters have all left. I miss em: Adrianic pgm Thought Tommyex Kenosym what other names? Opoks! is inconsistent. Kuwena talks only about himself The world revolves around him Kenosky is more of a nuisance these days just waiting to yab sb.Annify just waits in silence to drop a one-liner once in a blue moon Jisidaisy has balked only prefers to come in once in a while to say to annify; 'we need to talk' Alfaprime seems to be facing his job more these days, waiting to come and do Peace Talk when kasala starts! Or calm Brother Kuwena when he begins to have his moods. Even that, I think, don dey tire am The top scorers of the day for me are: Niyoo & Stannesi The latter adds a crazy streak to the thread, making me not to miss pgm much. The former is an more urbane version of 'Alfaprime-combined-with-Aniffy'. Reels out intelligent posts like a wise lecturer. It's easy to evaluate a man's mind from his posts & lines or argument. I hail una both. If I give this thread time and it does not improve beyond this, I might join the Greats!adrianic pqm Thought, et al After all, like Samson and later, Elijah prayed, ' I'm not better than my forefathers'. Pak! Did I forget you? I think you dey try!  All, I hail o! Just my piece of mind. |

2nd February
Change…, It is the most consant thing in life. Change of name, studies, environment, friends, work etc You name it, it has to change at one point or the other. While i marvel at the concept of change, i am amazed more at the person it brings out. For reasons i can’t explain, i’ll just be writing about the change that accompanies the death of a loved one, especially if the death occurred at a time that we consider inappropriate. Well, it happened to me a while ago, and i guess it just changed my personality and general outlook on life. My dad died when i was 6 years old. Well, i was so young that i didn’t understand what was happening. What i remember about his funeral was that a lot of people were crying and the females wore black gowns (my mom included). After then, anytime i asked about him, i was told that he was away and would come around sometime soon to take us (the kids) out. I believed every word and looked forward to the day that he was going to come home.
About three years later, i was 9 years old and it was my first night at boarding school. We were all having like an introductory meeting where we all sat down in a circle. We decided to play a game by introducing ourselves and what our parents did for a living. So someone would start by saying “Hello everyone, my name is xxxxxx, my father is a xxxxxx, my mother is a xxxxxx“, and then pass the buck to the next person. When we had gone round, another set of questions would be prepapred. So the first guy started, then the second, by this time, i was racking my brain thinking about what my parents did for a living. It was like playing a tape in “slow motion”.The fourth guy had just finished his part…it was the fifth guy’s turn…sheesh, it was getting close to my turn…I was trying hard to remember what my father did for a living…i knew he did business and was always travelling or something, but i wanted to be specific. I remembered him leaving the house that morning. I remembered having quite a lot of uncles and aunts visit our house in the evening with everyone crying. I remembered the ceremony with everyone wearing black, i remembered one of my uncles that carried
me on his shoulders and asked me to pour some sand into a deep pit. Then it got to my turn and i wil never forget the picture that stayed in my mind at that moment. I saw him, neatly dressed lying in his grave (what i called a pit earlier) as i looked at his face for the last time. Then the words came out of my lips in a whisper, ” My father is, my father is, ”, but i didn’t finish the statement. Tears streamed down my cheeks uncontrollably, because it just occurred to me that i was never going to see my father again. Daddy wasn’t coming back to take me out anymore.
He was dead.
I cried myself to sleep that night, the other kids probably thought i was missing my parents. Well, i just wanted to be alone, so i cried my heart out. Reality just dawned on me, i was never going to see him again. I thought about my siblings (My younger brother and sister), and i was sure that they hadn’t realised it yet. Then i came up with two resolutions:
1) To take care of my family (my mom and siblings) the best way i could.
2) Never to talk about it.
On that day…, i matured into a man…a very young man,
For a long while, i used to feel very ashamed telling people that my father was dead, i always told one lie or the other. I guess i didn’t want them to start pitying me. because honestly, i hate being pitied. I hate when people look at me with lips turned upside-down, tears in their eyes saying stuff like .”Awwww, i’m sorry, “. It drives me nuts!
I guess that’s why its so hard for me to cry when other people die or lose their loved ones. I really feel sorry for them, but the tears just don’t come. Well, as for my resolutions, well i try. God has been faithful. I’m still working on my 1st resolution, well, as for my 2nd resolution, i just broke it. Why? Why on earth did i choose to write about it on the 2nd day of February 2008. I just think that its time to let go. To burn some of the past that had become a part of me. To share it with others that may be in my shoes or who wonder why i am the way i am. Consider it my present to you - a piece of me. A part of me that i never talk about. Have fun and if you see me, don’t forget to wish me Happy Birthday, because today is my birthday. (smiles)
Cheers.
COPIED VERBATIM FROM FOLAYEMI ANIFOWOSHE'S BLOG.

Opoks has said that I talk only about myself, and that I think the world revolves around me. This must be a grevious oversight on my part, and I know I am sorry. But why do people sometimes talk about themselves? Take a look at my previous post. It is a verbatim rendition culled from Yemi's blog, and it is a very touching story, the realization of a loss. Perhaps one of the greatest losses in the life of a young man, especially as Sigmund Freud has said that for a boy, the loss of his dad at an early age is a critical psychological reality. But why did Yemi go ahead and share that story? Perhaps he wanted to express some of the things that make him grateful for where he is today. St. Anthony Mary Claret has said that greatness is not what a person has achieved, but the hurdles he has had to cross in trying to achieve it. I think that what Yemi has tried to point out is that, either because or in spite of the early loss of his father, he is where he is today. I have never met Yemi in person, but if there is one person I would rather talk about today instead of myself, it is him. I spoke with Yemi over the phone yesterday and told him exactly how I came to lose my job. He talked very consolingly, very patronizingly, very brotherly, and I must say that after speaking with him over the phone, I was glad for it. The long and short of what he said was: Move on, Kuwena; enjoy your resignation. And that is what I intend to do. I think people talk about themselves because otherwise they might burst with all the memory of the experience within. Pain breeds art; it also breeds religion, and there is what we may call artistic religion, a repetitive expression of a motif of experience, an experience that has shaped a life and a destiny, and which has provided the impetus for the continued existence of that life, and the fulfilment of that destiny. Believe me, Yemi is one guy I respect, and I have told him before now that we do have a lot in common. He is someone I consider richly blessed. And when you consider a person richly blessed, you either envy or love him. The latter option comes more naturally for me. He brings a wealth of creativity and purposefulness to his life, and the lives of those around him. We all are capable of good. We all are capable of noble deeds. We are sparks of the spirit, as Eckists say, and we can act as God to other people. When we reach out in love and appreciation for the good that is life, then we are better inspired to contribute to the development of others: whether it is by helping rural communities to actualize themselves, like Yemi does, or supporting family members like many of the rest of us do. In each way we are called to responsible for human life, hence, let us be ever more mustered to do our best to actualize our capacity for good. Yemi, can you hear me clapping for you? Keep up the spirit, brother. God bless you. There go I, talking about another person for a change. Opoks, what say you? |

U KNOW what. I'M JUST going to show u wats in d file, no need to download -------------------------------------------------- My great friends let this not come to you as
a surprise,
but it's real
have them living around us and
in our neighbourhood today,
we can change it with prayers, and
always lending a helping hand to those in need.
Don't keep this message to yourself, stannesi heard it, & passed it to u,
forward it to your friends, so our friends and all people will
thank GOD for food and water that they already have. -------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
stannesi (m)
|
--------------------------------------------------
This is one more reason
Why we have to thank God for the food that
we can have easily…
But in the other hand, ironically,
we still waste the food that we buy.
I feel very GRATEFUL for
what I have today,
We are so [b]Blessed for the wonderful works of
NATURE's[/b] hand in our life today,
just think of this,
-------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
stannesi (m)
|
--------------------------------------------------
"I felt very fortunate to live in this part of the world.
I promise I will never waste my food no matter
how bad it can taste and how full I may be.
I promise not to waste water.
I pray that this little boy be alleviated from his suffering.
--------------------------------------------------
I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the suffering
in the world around us and
not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests.
I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us
about how fortunate we are and
that we must never ever take things for granted.
Think & look at this, when you complain about your food and
the food we waste daily, "
MAY ALL HUMAN BEINGS BE FREE FROM SUFFERING!!!!
--------------------------------------------------
Please don't break this,
keep on forwarding it to all our friends.
On this good day,
let's make a prayer for the suffering in any place around
the globe and send this friendly reminder to others.
-------------------------------------------------- |

The PHOTO shown below in the "Pulitzer Prize" winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine.
The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards an United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.
The vulture is waiting for the child to die so that it can eat it.
The picture shocked the whole world.
No one knows what happened to the child, including the photographer Kevin Carter.
Who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.
Three months latter he committed suicide due to depression.

@ Kuwena wow!  Thanks for writing about me. . . . @ Opoks! Well, i enjoy reading about the different personalities here. . . i'm not really much of a talker, maybe more of a readeri guess that explains why i "drop a one-liner once in a blue moon". . . As you may have guessed, as for sports, I'm not much of a fan. . . but i have learnt a little about a lot on this thread. I just want to use this post to appreciate our diversity. We all see the world through lenses that have been coloured differently by our individual experiences, and i consider it a privilege when i can see the world through another man's eyes. (as i have on different occasions) We cannot feel strongly toward the totally unlike because it is unimaginable, unrealizable; nor yet toward the wholly like because it is stale—identity must always be dull company. The power of other natures over us lies in a stimulating difference which causes excitement and opens communication, in ideas similar to our own but not identical, in states of mind attainable but not actual. @ stannesi Thanks for the words and pictures. . . (as a little reminder ) . . . although i have encountered milder forms on my trips, but i have never encountered anything as bad as this. . . @ yanki Thank you for being a part of our journey. @ niyoo + kenosky + kuwena + "other visitors" Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your comments. . . @ everyone else Stay on course, finish strong and be a blessing. Have a wonderful weekend. |

The latest on Yemi's Blog is Underestimation. Let me comment on that before leaving. He said a favorite mentor of his told him his greatest weakness was underestimation. But what really is that?
You see, I think underestimation is when you tell yourself that if you do something, everyone will say you shouldn't have done it. Truth, though, is: everyone will say, 'My, you really did that? You're great!' And then the crowds will split in two: the enviers and the lovers. And of course, it is the enviers we dread.
Read Carson's The Big Picture though, and you will find that when we deny ourselves the immediate gratification of being the coolest guy around, and 'everybody's man' we become more empowered to take the tortuous, lonely road to achievement. Nerds versus hippies; Holy Nwejes versus Casanovas; prudes versus libertines. Which categories of people end up the more successful? Use your tongue to count your teeth.
Methinks the start of all true success is daring to be unique, or as Antony de Melo would say, 'having the courage to be myself (regardless of what people may say)'.
Think about it.

Come to think of it, i just might come up with another concept. Yemi, why don't we jointly moderate on the old topic of investing? I am going to the bookshop today to pick up Kiyosaki's Guide to Investing, and I would be willing to share what I read there with the thread. I have earlier read his Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and his Cashflow Quadrant, and I am fast becoming his disciple. |

Hi, POD LTD is rolling out a fleet of 10,000 brand new POD TAXI cabs in 44 towns and cities in Nigeria over the next 12 months from July, 2008. 20,000 Drivers will be screened, recruited and trained to operate these brand new (not tokunbo or fairly used),airconditioned,comprehensively insured taxi cabs nationwide. Over 1000 graduate management staffs with atleast a first degree in any discipline will be employed and trained to manage our offices in the 36 States and Abuja. (All Class of Degree,No Age Restriction or Gender Discrimination). Applicants should login to www.podofdiamondltd.com to apply. This site will be accessible to the public especially interested applicants by Monday 26th May,2008. Enquires Call: Bola on 01-8912956 (9am - 4pm Monday -Friday). Did anybody bother to even check out the link 'dear pod' gave us in his post? Well I did and I was shocked out of my wits. I wasn't planning on anybody spoiling my sunday afternoon mood but these guys almost did. Can you imagine they were asking interested applicants to pay a sum of 2,000 to oceanic bank before making an application. Agreed, breaking even in ngeria can be difficult at times but that cannot justify their attempt to do so at the expense of hapless job seekers. Even the mighty NLNG did not ask for a dime when they rolled out their adverts way back. The only words to describe what these guys are doing is EXPLOITATION. Wonder what this country is turning to. Can there be a legislation or somethin that can ensure that people like these are 'taken care of' by EFCC, the police or any of our law enforcement agencies. I hate to sound so caustic but these guys look to me like a bunch of insincere crooks |
