OP:

I think you have a bad case of halitosis and BO. That is the problem.

I am sure.

BTW, have you thought of swinging the other way? Maybe su/cking boo/obi/ees and 69-ing  'bimbos' isnt part of your destiny, as written by God and modified by your enemies me.

And you know what they say about destiny? You cannot change it. Embrace it and move on with your life. Some people have it worse. You dont believe me? Ask Tpiah. She is 58, 59 in two months, and she has never seen a dyyyck in her entire life (half of which she spent as a witch before embracing 'Suegbe Union'), besides her father's. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

If you are bent on experiencing what poo/ssi/e tastes like, well, all I can say is that its not all that it is cracked up to be. I would know. I have phocked/sucked/fin-g-e-r-e-d/sniffed/eaten/fisted all sorts of punnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy from every race and ethnicity imaginable on our planet, even aborigines, I have shagged them all.

They are all the same; they all stink ballz. They all loose their elasticity, sooner or later. And the bo/oo/bi/es obey gravity, all of them.

I am not saying all these to be boastful or impress it upon your s-e-x-l-e-s-s life that I am superior (actually I am) to you or that I have better life than you because I live with White people in London or that I get lucky with exotic punnies/es more often than you will ever have access to in your wretched life or that I want you to feel bad about yourself or think I am specially made or that I used XXXXL condom or that my girls moan and scream like mad when I am phocking them or that I have high sex drive and can last 72 hrs continuous non-stop , because, honestly, between you and me, I am that incredible and awesome. I am saying that with all modicum of humility I can muster, with great sensitivity to your feelings and crushed ego of course.


The point of this post is just to help you put things in perspective; that, as bad as it may look, for you, YOU STILL HAVE OPTIONS. Take heart, you still have it better than some people.
Politics / Re: Tinubu, No Certificate, Unresolved Issues With "Gbana?" - - - - Tribune by zstranger: 11:26am On Jun 10, 2011
omamokta:

How did you know he has issues with Gbana?, was he arrested by the law? We have only heard of Toronto University, which has not been proved. Am not Asiwaju's spokesman but its not fair attacking the wrong person, That write up by Sam Omatseye is a very bad one to be frank, i read it and felt very bad, imagine how the immediate family of Awo would feel. He (Sam), after eulogizing Awo crucified him by making some utterances that left a very bad taste in the mouth of the readers especially those that are affliated to the Awos. We have to face the fact here, Sam is a staff of the Nation Newspapers, Asiwaju is the owner of the newspaper whose aim is to use the paper to make gains politically and economically. He is not the chief editor(if there is anything like that in the nation organisational hierachy). That such write up came from Sam (a staff of the Nation) does not make Tinubu the author, unless there are some issues which we are not aware of here. Aim your attacks on Sam Omatseye not Asiwaju. Please let us stop this media war between the Awos and the Awoists now before it gets out of hand.

You are so daft!

Tinubu is a politician and the Tribune has every right to criticize Tinubu.

HID Awolowo, the Yeye Oba of The Source, the Yeye oodua of Yorubaland is a deity, NOT A PHOCKING POLITICIAN.

She has stole no one's money. She welcomed Amosun to her house during his electioneering process, just like she did to every one else. She is not a card carrying member of PDP. She has every right to welcome OGD and PDP to her house. After all, Awoism is an idea that transcends petty partisanship

Geddit!

If this is how you treat the elders in your family, then I am not surprised you see nothing wrong in that article.
Politics / Re: Yoruba Leaders Rally Round HID Awolowo by zstranger: 10:28am On Jun 10, 2011
Eko Ile:



Tinubu did not write the article

of course not. He didnt complete his education  because he lacks the ability to write and articulate his ideas. How could he have written that article. He  does not have a WASSCE certificate to his name. Talk about a graduate of GCI Ibadan.

One GCI graduate used his knowledge from GCI to win a Nobel, the other, used the same knowledge to build a drug empire.

The article did not attack Awolowo

Duh, they claim to be Awosists, why would they attack Awo.

interesting logic form Iragbiji ile. Ediot!

The article did not attack HID


"I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death.   .   . "

I guess that is a compliment to you.

No wonder your mother is a slut and would have been divorced if only your father knew better.


The article did not attack the family

What do you call these:

"The only person that made a real try was Awolowo-Dosunmu in the early 1990s and she lost roundly. She was accused of trying to ride her father’s coattail."

"The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania."

"The so-called real Awolowos who bear his surname cannot come up for mention. They are Awolowos but not Awoists. They stabbed their father in the back. They have committed ideological parricide."






The article basically illuminated Tinubu's anxiety about the family's contrary Awolowo's ideal







Fixed!

Politics / Re: Yoruba Leaders Rally Round HID Awolowo by zstranger: 9:26am On Jun 10, 2011
Omo_Tier1:

This is what you get when you build democracy around individuals and on institutions.

The difference between Awo and Tinubu is in the above. One built an institution of democractic ideological movement, the other is building a political empire without much ideology.

Every political party existing earth is either LEFT, CENTER LEFT, RIGHT and CENTRE RIGHT and each hangs on wether they be socialist-liberal thinkers, conservatives or social conservatives. The question goes begging for answers remains thus; Which one of these does ACN, and the TINUBU political empire fall into?

As much as I tend to vote ACN, mainly 'cos much of her candidates represent a better alternative,however, the party itself appears to lack any ideology and manner with which an individual within the party has turned it to his political 'heaven' leaves a sour taste in the mouth of voters like myself.

In as much as Tinubu's effort is appreciated by most ACN supporters, however when the call is too loud, it beckons that a genuine politician must embrace reforms, and the time is right for Tinubu to do just that; He either REFORMS or He DEFORMS.

There is so much that can be said of ACN, TINUBU(-saint or satan),and the burden of genuine ideological difference.

I hope to be able to posit and conclude a write up so titled: "ACN:leaning which way?"

Finally, this thought remains; will Tinubu be another Bola Ige? Hope not but only time will tell!

@ Eko Ile, can I kindly suggest that you soft pedal on your 'beyond doubt' position on Tinubu. While some of your reasoning in his defence seems acceptable, however permitt me to say that no true student of politics ever live to fight for man, rather the fight is over ideology. Thus it would be worthwhile if you expend that youthful vibrancy in making known the ideology Tinubu stands for and how this is reflecting in ACN, her goverment and ultimately the people be governed. Still I commend your effort, zeal and patrotism to the 'progressive train'.




Excellent!

ACN has no ideology and no outlook. They win elections because they, to their credit, have mastered the art of propaganda. They have used Awo's name better than anyone else in the SW. The PDP allowed them to hijack the name, unfortunately.

That is why I will always give credit to OGD during his first election campaign. he refused to allow Osoba have sole claim to awosism. He made it clear to everyone that he was much an Awosist as anyone else, and that Awoism isnt about party affiliation. it is an idea and a way of life that transcends partisanship.


Tinubu is a disgrace. A man of questionable background. Since he started public life, he is yet to write/pen something down. Awo, made his ideas known in the numerous books and articles he wrote. He proved himself to be very rigorous intellectually. Bola Ige wrote some many Op-eds for 20 yrs straight, intimating us of his belief and value

Tinubu on the other hand is yet to write "shi shi" down.

His claim to political relevance starts and ends with his supposed belief in 'Awoism;' Awosism without deep intellectual rigor, Awoism built on the foundation of fascism.

May God save us from this former drug lord!

Whenever the biography of Sam Omatseye is written by history itself, as against constructs by fellow sycophants — I am sure the difference between story by history and story by the historian is beyond his grasp — it will be mentioned that he deployed not only his barren intellect, but his miserable soul solely to the cause of the brigand, Bola Tinubu. Tinubu has no pedigree; he belongs to the class of criminals immolated in the days of yore, but who, by the accident of history, have now found themselves in the commanding heights of timed power.

Before another sentence, let’s provide a background. Bola Tinubu, sole proprietor of the ACN, was once at the Tribune House, Ibadan. Mission: to buy over the Tribune management in the service of his political agenda. He had already compromised the Lagos newspapers, and anyone in doubt should ask why The Nigerian Tribune  has, by the grace of God, remained the only paper in the country to report the judicial atrocities going on in the country on his behalf, his (Tinubu’s) case with the EFCC and allied issues. Should the Tribune join Tinubu’s empire, we’d also begin to carry the kind of stories which said Alao-Akala had fled the country after Ajimobi’s inauguration, even while the former governor was in the church opening his mouth as wide as he was wont to, in praises to God in Ogbomosho, less than 300 kilometres from the printing room of their medium. We would have glossed over the carnage unleashed by ACN brigands in Akwa Ibom  State, and Tribune editors would get the kind of salaries paid Omatseye and others from the money paid by the Lagos State government on a monthly basis into the coffers of Tinubu’s company, Alpha Beta, or its sister company in Osun State, Infinity Concept.

He was told off. That Tinubu, like a pampered child, did not get his desired candy as he imagined in capturing the Nigerian Tribune did not go down well with him. And then came The Nation and its onslaught on the Nigerian Tribune.  Mission: to get the Tribune out of the way so that Emperor Tinubu can take over the nation.

In another attack on Awo launched by Tinubu (“Awo family without an Awo”, The Nation, Monday June 6, 2011, back page)  through his errand boy, Sam Omatseye, this time on Awo’s family, Mama (Dr) H.I.D Awolowo, the woman who stood by the sage throughout his odyssey, the woman who recently lost another child, the woman who has carried on her husband’s torch since 1987, was tagged  a worthless woman. He wrote: ‘’I once wrote that this woman whom Awo once described as a jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause (sic). If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death (sic).”

Beyond the infelicities of “lost value to his cause,”  and  ‘’if he came back to life he would have committed”( Gloss: If he  came back to life, he would commit.), I am not  shocked that this fellow can pour such imprecations on a 96-year-old woman. His principal has not got a certificate, and I am sure he has unresolved issues with marijuana.  Beyond that, character, which the Yoruba say is beauty, does not dwell in beasts, felons without a pedigree. We know what brought Tinubu to Lagos, and will inform Omatseye in the coming weeks.

Omatseye wrote: “The so-called real Awolowos who bear his surname cannot come up for mention. They are Awolowos but not Awoists. They stabbed their father in the back. They have committed ideological parricide. The only person that made a real try was Awolowo-Dosumu in the early 1990s and she lost roundly. She was accused of trying to ride her father’s coat tail.”

On what grounds were these conclusions based?  Do the Awolowo children have to negotiate their existence only within the purview of Tinubu’s brand of Awoism,  or not? We recall that even Awolowo-Dosumu was frustrated by Tinubu and his gang. Coming from a distinguished parentage, she knew the best thing to do was withdraw when the jewels had been thrown to the dogs.

Omatseye even went spiritual. ‘’In another spoof of Christ, where were his family anyway (sic)?” Omatseye’s analogy is illiterate, because James, the Lord’s brother, became a frontline apostle in the church, and even authored an epistle. So, if our guy thinks that the family of Jesus wasn’t of much worth, why would anyone expect him to see any good in the Awo family? I do not want to print the other diatribes against the Awo family because I know that this naughty person will go to his grave covered in tears.

It should not be surprising that Omatseye sees Tinubu, a man accused by the Code of Conduct Bureau of operating 16 foreign accounts as governor, a man who bleeds the Lagos State treasury dry every month, a gnome given to gutter language and manipulator of the judiciary, as Awo’s successor in the South-West: “Ideologically, when we talk of Awo’s family, the chief inheritor is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the leader of all the others.”

Are you shocked? The man who imposed candidates all over the South-West is Awo’s successor, according to Omatseye. Tinubu, who hasn’t a single paper to his name. The subject of attack is Obafemi Awolowo himself, make no mistake about it. And you should not be surprised that ‘’in all the states from Lagos to Edo, Awo has witnessed a resurgence,” and that “Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist (sic).”

But the last time I visited schools in my home town, Ikorodu, teachers had their office under trees, and I saw not a single motorable road.The masses are locked up in Black Marias for hawking, and life is hell in Lagos State. This is the handiwork of the progressives, the real members of the Awo family, according to Omatseye. We hope Tinubu will go as far as burning down the Ikenne home of the Awolowos to prove a point.

[size=18pt]Yet, try as he may, Tinubu will never become Yoruba leader. He will remain the felon, the brigand that he has always been, until his cup is full.

A more rational mind, like my 5 yr old nephew here who cant stop laughing, would have interpreted my statement thus: I know something, but not everything.

Wow fascinating.
zstranger does not know what atheism is therefore atheism and atheists do not exist.
This makes me suspect that zstranger must therefore be God since we expect him/her to know everything.

Hey, I am just human, with one head, two legs, and an insatiable libido

I dont know everything. grin

I think the atheism is self explanatory enough.

Dont be too fast because a huge percentage of the stuff that we humans tend to be automatically sure of always turns out, totally wrong and deluded. That is why I have always respected Descartes since I first came across his famous phrase: Cogito ergo sum



You are postulating that there's more to it than the obvious.

Well, I have so far postulated nada!




Since we are now duly informed of your  superior knowledge of atheism, then it's only sensible that you educate us on the  true meaning of atheism since you went ahead and told an atheist (Harakiri) he's ignorant of is own beliefs or lack thereof.


My superior knowledge? Interesting? No one knows everything, and I sure do not know anything. And because I know that I know not is exactly why I think I am more clever than a lot of people ( minus You of course) on this forum! grin



FYI, Tai Solarin was not an atheist; he was a humanist.

Very profound and interesting. Tai Solarin is a humanist, but not an atheist!

I just love the confidence and audacity. I love how we are always eager to label people and define what they are and what they are not. It is that certainty of though, that somehow we have higher insight and that our reality is automatically the only there is, is exactly why I am on this thread!

Interesting!

Thread says: what are atheists doing in the religion section?

I said: There are no atheists in Nigeria

And you think, I should be the first person to tell them what they claim to be?

First of all, I dont know what atheism is?

And since I dont know what it is, it therefore follows logically for me to assume that it does not exist

The burden of proof is on our supposed Atheists to prove to me what they believe in?



I feel like there is a scandal going on here; our atheists cant even tell us what they are

[b][size=16pt]Oh, we can now see what happened to your intelligence perhaps your common sense actually, it is = zero, zuch!!! 

In short, there is non there in the first place, since this  fail to realise we live in a globalized world where, people can travel in a short notice, and flights leave Europe to Nigeria and other parts of the world every seconds, carrying people who might be infected with this or any other disease without them knowing it yet.

That's how HiV Aids quickly spread to all over the world,  !

Big time ignorant, listen, will you get out of here and stop spreading your infectious ignorance on people with lesser minds here.  A blinded foolish looser!

There are people here who have no clue and with comments like that, you're not helping, actually, you're keeping them in the dark forever, na lie for you. 

They must know and we are here to educate them about Environmental Health and that, diseases spread much quickly now, the world is globalized! Blinded fool!

Let me warn you now, next time you prowl near my essay again, you'd be damned!

Now, get out of here and stop polluting Nairaland environment with your ignoble, ignomba! Thick head!!! grin grin
[/size][/b]




First of all, I am so glad you responded. More glad that you responded emotionally with insults, just as I predicted.  And being insulted by an air head always ALWAYS makes my day!

I love it

I love it

I so Love getting insulted by punaniiiiiis

Now formalities out of the way, lets get practical!


In short, there is non there in the first place, since this  fail to realise we live in a globalized world where, people can travel in a short notice, and flights leave Europe to Nigeria and other parts of the world every seconds, carrying people who might be infected with this or any other disease without them knowing it yet.

Of course we now live in a globalized world and shyytt happen.

That said, the young lady neither traveled to Europe nor hung out with people from Europe. In plain English, she did not eat anything that might have been contaminated from Europe. This lady, the probability that she visited Europe or died from the strain of Ecoli circulating in Europe is very small. Putting it into perspective for you: America will one day produce a Black president ( Both parents Black) and they will also, one day, produce a Gay President; however, the probability that they will produce a black and Gay president is very very very very small.

Furthermore, ".     .     . Nearly all the sick people either live in Germany or recently traveled there. Two people who were sickened are now in the United States, and both had recently traveled to Hamburg, Germany, where many of the infections occurred. British officials announced four new cases, including three Britons who recently visited Germany and a German person on holiday in England."

Even though, if she did get poisoned from the European strain, she should not have died. And would not have died, at least, not so fast. Why?
At least 15 people there have died from the recent outbreak. According to doctors, two-thirds of patients in Hamburg, Germany, were suffering from severe neurological problems such as language difficulties and seizure. http://www.catholic.org/health/story.php?id=41637

Again in plain English, most of the people affected are either already sick or severely immunocompromised. And when you are not immunocompetent, any thing, and I mean ANYTHING, even ordinary cold, can KILL you. For all we know about her, prior to her presentations, she WAS a healthy, young, vivacious, soon to-be 30 yr old female with little or no serious past medical illness. Someone that young, dont die from E-coli/abdominal pain of few days.

Previous E. coli outbreaks have typically hit children and the elderly, but the European outbreak is chiefly affecting adults, especially womenhttp://www.catholic.org/health/story.php?id=41637

Again, from the above it is clear that if she had gone to Europe/Germany, she probably would have either died there or "kpeme" en route to Nigeria.



Theblessed:
That's how HiV Aids quickly spread to all over the world,

Comparing E-coli with HIV is just stupidddddd. E-coli is a bacteria that produce toxin inside the host.  HIV is a virus. When HIV gets into the body, it has to be replicated first, in the T-cells and then stored inside the macrophages. In plain English, E-coli act on the mucosal of your intestine to cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting and the "baddest" symptom of them all, what they call HUS, Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome. Hemolytic means it breaks down your RBCs, Uremic = kidney failure, Syndrome = more than one disease manifestation i/e Hemolysis and Uremia. 

On the other hand, HIV's RNA needs to be replicated and it has to infect lotsa cells in your body before you see any manifestation and most often, your body fights back until it no longer can withstand the assault.  In summary, the modus operandi of Ecoli, a bacteria, and HIV, a virus are so different, only a dimwit like you would refer to both in the same context.

Second, Route of infection between E-coli and HIV is different. E-coli you get through food and HIV through blood/semen/body fluids etc  So in contrast to what your deluded self would have us believe, you dont spread HIV after one intercontinental flight like you do in SARS, Flu and common pathogens that cause Diarrhea.

From all we know, she only complained of stomach pain, and in a child bearing woman like her, the etiology of her stomach pain run the gamut:There can be more than one kind of pain involved. There is, for example, what I call the appendiceal pain; she has been reporting it for days, who knows, the appendicitis probably got ruptured causing sepsis and her eventual death. Then the pain could have been from her ovaries, endometriosis, PID, ectopic pregnancy that, ruptured, who knows. And, then, you have the liver, hepatic adenoma that burst open. The spleen nko and what about her marital life; she may have been poisoned.  Of course, your one track mind couldnt think of that. How could it, when you have nothing better to do with your head, stupidly parroting what you hear on TV besides.

Consider again the nature of her stomach pain. Consider the origin, her gender, her medical history, her financial status. IS this a case of food poison? It may well be, but we dont know that, at least not from THE published story.

Your case reminds of the story I heard as a kid from my big uncle. There were two men sitting together  in a beer parlor. One of the guys is a traditionalist/babalawo/juju man, the other a Xtian believer, and the two are arguing about the proof of the rightness of their different beliefs that comes after about the tenth bottle of beer. And the traditionalist says: Look, it's not like I don't have actual reasons for not believing in God. It's not like I haven't ever experimented with the whole God and prayer thing. During the war ( in Osun State), Me and two other people got caught away from the the rest of the warriors and we were totally lost and we found ourselves face to face with our opponents with guns, and the other two guys, with the same charm as me got killed after exchanging fire: I cried out 'Oh, God, if there is a God, I'm lost and I'm gonna die if you don't help me.' And now, in the beer parlour, the religious guy looks at the traditionalist all puzzled. "Well then you must believe now," he says, "After all, here you are, alive." The traditionalist smiles coyly. "No, man, all that was was a couple of warriors in that area came to my aid.

We can dice and splice the story how ever we want. But the arrogance here is palpable.  The traditionalist/babalawo/Okija guy is so totally certain in his dismissal of the possibility that the warriors that came to his aid had anything to do with his prayer for help. True, there are plenty of believers who seem arrogant and certain of their own interpretations, too. They're actually even more annoying  than the traditionalists. But the believer's problem is exactly the same as yours, TheBlessed: blind certainty, a close-mindedness that amounts to an imprisonment so total that you the prisoner do not even know you are locked up.

On the surface, this seems easy enough.  "She died from E-coli, from the exact type of strain that is killing people in Europe." Then you review her chart.  Digging deep and talking to her family, where was the pain, did it radiate anywhere, whatever it is? How long was it there? Does anything make it better or worse? What are your past medical problems? You know the drill by now, it becomes obvious this is not a case of E-coli.

Please, don't think that I'm giving you life lessons in critical thinking here, or that I'm saying you are supposed to think this way, or that I expectyou to just automatically do it. Because it's hard. It takes will and effort, and since you are like every other puccy  on NL, who uses her head for nothing besides an object to poke under a hair dryer,  you won't be able to do it because you just cant

Now, go back to watching TV or you might wanna spend your time doing sometime that is actually meaningful, sucking my dyyyyyck. If you are hot, that is.

tpia@:

i'd stick with archaeology which is what i was originally interested in but got no support on the home front?

however, to play safe and please everybody, i'd choose to be an architect if possible.

i do like archaeology though.

Very unfortunate. And you would have been really good at it

You still seem fixated on it though, and if I were you, I'd let it go.

What you cant get, it is better to ignore it.

BTW, so what do you do now?
