This is highly disrespectful!

I'm not a Tecno fan at all but I find it rude and degrading that they will use the famed M3 name-brand, a worldwide-known performance coupe by BMW, for such a lack-lustre and uninspiring fone with saddening specs? Anything bearing a "M3" should be mind-blowing.

Siennnnnaaaaaaaa??!

Ondo o gboyinbo!
I honestly believe the Senator voted in error. He must not have understood the syntax of the expression before he pressed "NO", voting for the retention of the phrase instead of its deletion.

Ondo o gbo 'yinbo.

Excuse my ignorance, is it that they have legalised marriage to underage girls or they are still in the process of doing that?

“One day, no matter how long it takes; we will leave this seat. Power is not forever. This seat is vanity; others sat here and left so one-day I’ll also leave, and we will meet at home; so why should I fight him?.......
Now, that is funny! Why are the Jonathans bent on occupying Aso Rock for a second term if it is vanity?

Forgot to add, you are leaving 2015 btw.

It is uber-hilarious to the point of tears, the indignities GEJ swallows dutifully.

The Zealous Paeodipile Leaders of Nigeria
There are very dire repercussions when you intentionally overreach that which is out of your boundary.

What would make a man defend and advocate, zealously, marriage to underage girls? The immoral and abjectly-lacking-in-self-control advocacy at the Senate House for that matter and not in the withering saharan era of primitiveness and rusty, decomposed centuries gone by?

If these "leaders" are the leading men of this nation, I can assuredly say that we are not just still writhing at the starting point rather, we are fast becoming a relic of what was once but may soon be no more.

"A man lacking in self-control is like a city without walls"

[Interlude]

A short, fat, beady-eyed man, dressed in a one piece suit hurried along, clutching folders while swearing under his breath. He was late for press conference at the commissioning of the 1,000,000 seater hall built by the FG of Nairaland.
Professor Taharqa, mopped his eyebrow, and walked in majestically towards the reserved section.
Already seated were, Prof Corruption & Katsumoto, DemDem; HOD:Political Culture & Vocabulary, Desola: a fiery, vernacularic but brilliant lawyer, PointB and other notable panelist at the commissioning of the hall.
A cultural troupe was performing while the guests, students and hosts watched with rapt attention.
At the far side of the hall, Eko Atlantic hobnobs with Eko Ile, jeering at the clique of SincereNigerian, Beaf and Taharqa, who were smiling and grinning from ear to ear like the Joker.
Billionaire sat down, lost in the worksheet of his ipad 9, grimacing at the consecutive loss reported by his company.
Further down the hall, some group of students looked with disapproval towards SimonAndal and MissYuzedo, smooching inside the hall, after renditions of Ode to Insanity by SimonAndal and mouth to mouth exchange of ice-cream chicken lap made by banana iceland manshun in banana island.
Baby123... Came inside the hall with all her babies, on her back, in a pram and dragging the oldest, a 3 years old.

Far, far above the nairan sky, in the depths of space, Abbott checked upon his million+ children and smiled before going back to sleep.

mbulela: check SWALLOW and A BIT OF DIFFERENCE.
I found the one you mentioned very bland and ordinary.
I liked SWALLOW better but in general she is not a writer i really enjoy.
I enjoyed IMAGINE THIS by Sade Adeniran much more.
I admit that Everything Good may not be Sefi Atta's highpoint, but their is something about it, the ordinariness, the monotony and the dramatic that is the life of nondescript and obscure people. The beauty lies not in its banality but that this people lead lives that yearns to be witnessed and noticed too. Still a fav to me anyway. Would love to get the rest and read 'em.

This Will Interest You, My Name is (Mr.Andrew Steven) I am The Regional Manager of Standard

I have packaged a financial transaction that will
benefit you and I, as the regional manager of my branch it is my duty to send in a financial report
to my head office in the capital city Accra at the end of each business year. On the course of the last year 2012 business report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the manager made Five million three hundred and twenty thousand united state dollars ($5,320,000.00)USD.

I have placed this funds on what we call escrow call account, this account is strictly for onward

highly going to be involved as well.

Up till date, no one has the knowledge of the $5,320,000.00USD you are about to receive in your bank account, and no one will ever know of it. All you need to do is stand and claim as the original depositor and beneficiary of the fund in my branch so that my head office can order the transfer of the fund to your designated bank account.
There are practically no risks involved, it will be a bank-to-bank transfer. From the day you applied, within 6 days the money should have been
transferred and cleared in your account if all things work out well. Then I will get back my 60% through any means we find best to do so.
Please note that all I need from you is your trust and sincerity as to seeing this through. kindly send me the following information to enable me
