Ileke-IdI:

Living large, I see

How close is NJ to NY? Is the beach house really that safe?

This is actually the first time I'm going to witness a hurricane up the East coast,  

Not living large at all.   We (hubby and I) worked real hard and saved to get that place 10 months ago.  We have not even really enjoyed it and this hurricane just wants to spoil things   We've boarded up  windows and doors just like everybody else and we hope for the best.
This is also my first hurricane experience and so was the earthquake of Tuesday or Wednesday. I pray God sees us through.

manny4life:


Me? feeling like? Like what exactly? Anyway, it doesn't hurt to feel different?

I'd also like to know.

You'll be fine. I go thru them every other year
The worst it can do is blow down the whole house.

Well you made the sentence; "I was feeling like something", I said feeling like what exactly? You're the same person saying you like to know? Know what? You need to excellently reason with me and complete your sentence; what I'm feeling like.

Ileke-IdI:

^^ what are you feeling like? egbami!
Plz dont let my excellent reasoning ability scare you, I can always get down to your level if need be.

It was a question. Read it carefully this time:

What are you feeling like?

tpia@:

no doubt.

that's why there arent so many of them.

the nature ones are good though.

Yeah I guess and if I was a producer, it won't even get on my list of future movies. I like fierce animal activity, not Shamu the trainer killer.

ah! No abeg oh!, blow down which house? mmba! God forbid!

but sha, these American homes are so flimsy. In Naija when we build we use correct cement and block but here it's plywood and shingles. no wonder small wind usually wrecks havoc on most homes.

Anyway sha, to everybody on the East Coast, stay safe and don't try to be no hero. Stay inside!

Does FEMA still exist?

Lol are we even sure na wood? Maybe crunched up chalk made into a paste.

Thank you , later Madam Ileke will ask me why my apartment can't stand earthquake. I guess some questions don't require and answer, go figure.


And you too stay safe as well and good luck. We'll reconvene next week to share testimonies,

i think free willy was good, going by the reviews, but i never watched it yet.

i could be wrong though about the movie.

Will y'all stop bickering and fighting over nonsensical nonsense!   Haba! all this name calling is terrible. this thread is about the hurricane and Nigerians living in its path, where the name calling and bashing comes from only God knows.

you don't know if the person u r abusing will survive this storm so please, everybody grow up and stop the insults. Just like we were all worried when the flood hit Lagos, we all should be worried about this storm. We saw what Katrina did to New Orleans and Louisiana, we should not for one moment think that such cannot happen in the  East Coast.

Dude, I was logically telling you that if your appt cannot withstand that mere earthquake, it's not going to withstand a hurricane.

Yes, report back next week. . . . take pictures too.

Ok, go figure then,

Yes FEMA exist, located in downtown DC in L'Enfant Plaza

Dude is trying to get the last word, dont mind him jare.

BTW, I'm not insulting him nau.

hope insurance will cover any property damage?

Although your logic was a lil flawed, thanks for the logic. Just because I have cracks on the dry wood doesn't mean it did not withstand the force of nature. Every house built has a stress measure put on it, same dry wood used in my apt is same wood used in building other homes as well, and yeah it will definitely withstand Hurricane.

Yeah I will come back and no need for pictures

katrina was worse because the levees broke though.


is there any such system up north because i've never heard of such.

Oh really.

We are not fighting oh, neither are we insulting ourselves, Ilke knows how we have tread on each other, this is more of a hurricane relief effort talk nothing else.

My logic is perfectly flawless. I guess we both have our opinions. How big are the cracks? And if your appt cannot withstand that earthquake stress, it cannot withstand that of a hurricane.

I dont know anything about any treading. What are you talking about?

Ileke-IdI:

Oh really.

Yes really, unless you're Madam Kobo who knows it all, FEMA is located @ l'enfant plaza, right where the Smithsonian Complex are as well as USDA et al. If I don't know, I won't tell you.

Ileke-IdI:

Stop begging me dude. Whatever it is, I can't give you

Begging you, it's called courtesy, you can't give me anything ok, so stop trying to make it look like you can give something hwen you can't

Ileke-IdI:

Madam construction engineer, structural engineer, flawless indeed, you're right we have our opinions , and yes my apt will survive the hurricane, case closed, Cracks are big but not life threatening.

Ileke-IdI:

I dont know anything about any treading. What are you talking about?

You don't know what or when someone treads on you? Perhaps my English is flawed, maybe I need to withdraw and rephrase, lol

I haven't really seen it though, so I cannot say for sure, they have it on Netflix?

Who said the cracks were the life threaten-er you need to worry about?

Yes Madam Kobo knows everything. And no, I am not her.

Courtesy? Let it be just that. Since you're saying "please", make sure to say "thank you" too.

Good, so now u know cracks are minor damage and not life threatening and least worried about, I never told you I was worried about anything


Say thank you? Hmmm, you give someone an inch, they want a mile,
