I hate it when people refer to medicines as "drugs". Any time someone mentions drugs, all I think about is cocaine, marijuana etc.

Calm down guy. That comes with the territory. She's not working and she's your babe. You should be glad she didn't call "former friends" for help.

Impressive.

I thought he used Photoshop.

carefreewannabe: When you don't even smell irony ... Good night.

I can spell it. Good night.

carefreewannabe: I don't. But what does it change?

Nothing. Just trying to grade my debating skills.

carefreewannabe: I see ...

Does that mean you agree?

carefreewannabe: So your point is that all men have to become bad to get a woman?

Only in the USA or oyiboland where a man has a guaranteed chance with female companionship only if he's a criminal, social misfit or gay.

In Ghana (or Nigeria), a guy only needs to be himself, with some financial stability or "potential".

carefreewannabe: Are you picking Chris Brown to be representative of the mainstream?

No I'm using him as an example to make my point. I could have picked somebody else, but CB is well known.

Abrantie: This nice guy-bad boy crap is only true in societies that women are spoiled, have everything at their disposal and with too much time on their hands.

In Africa, the only thing that matters to a woman is MONEY! Not flowers or candlelit dinners or body tattoos or looking like you just stepped out of prison. Your ability to make them "chop your money"! or to make them think they can, is all a guy needs.

As a follow-up to my previous point, look at how Chris Brown changed from a handsome pretty boy, to an over tattooed, criminal/drug-addict looking mofo? The amount of money Chris Brown has couldn't even convince those bitches he's really a man's man! So what does he do? -- over tattoos his body to look like he's "dangerous" and "bad", picks a fight with Drake and got a beat down..lol

Why? The answer is simple -- he lives in a society where women have lost their bearing on what truly makes a man masculine or boyfriend/husband material. Guys in such societies have to be either gay, or be a criminal in order to stand a chance with even the ugliest-looking babe. So when some of you post all these "rules" about relationships, just know that it doesn't apply in all corners of the world.

[size=18pt]THIS IS A JOKE![/size] ... This complaint was generated with a "complaint-letter generator" at: http://www.pakin.org/complaint/

I chose not to post it in the jokes section because I didn't want to give away the goods before it got read.

Mods, move this to the jokes section later after a few people have also posted their "complaints".

I am not a diplomat, and, as such, I am not fully conversant with the elegant and rarefied language of the diplomatic trade. I have a reputation for saying what I mean and meaning what I say. So I trust that you'll forgive me if I come across as a bit blunt when I state that if belligerent dipsomaniacs really believed in equality, they wouldn't convert lush forests into arid deserts. Permit me this forum to rant.

All of Mr. Seun Osewa's lieutenants are thieves—idle, envious, and ready to plunder and enslave their weaker neighbors. It's therefore not surprising that Seun has a glib proficiency with words and very sensitive nostrils. He can smell money in your pocket from a block away. Once that delicious aroma reaches Seun's nostrils, he'll start talking about the joy of plagiarism and how "the norm" shouldn't have to worry about how the exceptions feel. As you listen to Seun's sing-song, chances are you won't even notice his hand as it goes into your pocket. Only later, after you realize you've been robbed, will you truly understand that I have a problem with his use of the phrase, "We all know that…". With this phrase, Seun doesn't need to prove his claim that he is omnipotent; he merely accepts it as fact. To put it another way, he is inherently pestilential, sexist, and headlong. Oh, and he also has a dissolute mode of existence.

I, for one, want to make this clear so that those who do not understand deeper messages embedded within sarcastic irony—and you know who I'm referring to—can process my point. I have a message for Seun. My message is that, for the good of us all, he should never formulate social policies and action programs based on the most peccable types of escapism in existence. He should never even try to do such a yellow-bellied thing. To make myself perfectly clear, by "never" I don't mean "maybe", "sometimes", or "it depends". I mean only that Seun claims that women are crazed Pavlovian sex-dogs who will salivate at any object even remotely phallic in shape. I, speaking as someone who is not a froward sot, would say that that claim is 70% folderol, 20% twaddle, and 10% another contemptible attempt to hand over the country to insincere, unprincipled fault-finders.

I have no doubt that Seun will exercise both subtlety and thoroughness in managing both the news and the entertainment that gets presented to us by the next full moon. He'll probably do so under the pretense of "humanitarian intervention" or some other equally inapposite appellation, but the reality is that foul-mouthed nihilism is merely a symptom of the disease called "Seun-ism". Well, that's another story. To get back to my main point, I ought to mention that Seun has long been getting away with stripping people of their rights to free expression and individuality. I urge all of my beautiful and loyal fans to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong and prove to the world that if you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem.

The television-addicted, drone inhabitants of Seun's rotting empire of immoralism uniformly believe that trees cause more pollution than automobiles do. Well, I have news for such inconsiderate underachievers: Seun has occasionally been successful at irrationalizing thinking on every issue. Upon such points his natural character always exhibits itself most determinedly as he further strives to introduce more restrictions on our already dwindling freedoms. But it gets worse than that. What was morally wrong five years ago is just as wrong today. And that's all I have to say.

Narrow the theme of your board. Ask yourself this question: "What is my forum about?" You should be able to answer that question quickly, directly and in a single sentence.

Don't try and compete with Nairaland because it too is suffering from Childboarditis, and has decided to cure the illness with yet another child board called "Front Page".

Get other people (brothers, sisters, friends, uncles, mama, papa whatnot) to post so it doesn't seem like you're the only one in an empty forum.

I'm not exactly sure which forum software you're using but one of the best, popular and free is phpBB (https://www.phpbb.com/). I bring this up because down the line, you might want some features which your current software might lack. It's easier to make software change decisions now instead of later when your user base has grown.

Painful and horrendous death.

Yes, I know -- all die be die BUT, I'll prefer to go peacefully in my sleep.

Jamie b: Ladies can be funny sometimes in which case i dont know what to make of it. How do you respond to a girl you woo and she is saying know but looking into her eyes and her actions you can see a yes especially when she tells you ''i might be having feelings for you but am trying to let go''

The word "woo" always makes me laugh.

seedord247: Are they not the one singin Chop my money?.. Now that uganda hotel wants to chop their money they are discombobulatin

Oh the irony!!

To their defense, they were singing about some hot babe chopping their money, not some pathetic third world government.

saxywale: I don't believe this story, naija man sufferering from depression seems strange not to mention jumping off a building.

+1

Even the photography part doesn't make sense. Weykind Naijaman go huzzle go India go study photo-fvkin-graphy?

Looks like a re-direct.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Topic is off FP too. That's the end folks.

tyson55: Seun it stopped working.
Were you trying to test run it or what?

If it has stopped working, it means he has moved the "liked" code or others that he may be working on to another location.

*Kails*:

they (cosigners, stalkers; etc) probably spammed his inbox.
just messing though.

but i would like that "who is online" feature back.



so you're saying it's not a legitimate feature?
makes sense. not only is that feature no longer visible, but this thread is no longer on the FP. Oh well. I saw what I needed to see already.

It's a feature in development. Seun hasn't released it yet. He shouldn't have placed the code in the same location as the released features.

NoContract: Caught this by accident. Hope I am not violating any laws here.

Just log in to your Nairaland account and change the web address (or open a new browser) to [size=18pt]https://www.nairaland.com/likes[/size]

I figured out how you caught that. Here's how:

1) You received some "Likes" and the link showed up.

2) You went to that page to inspect which of your comments received the "Likes".
The address for that page is https://www.nairaland.com/likes

3) At this point, you started to think like a hacker and asked yourself, "what if I change that last part of this address to "liked"?

V O I L A !!!

I'm sure you tried other words as well, right?

I predict some people will stop liking posts out of fear of being caught.

On the other hand, some shy guys will intentionally start to like some girl's posts a LOT instead of simply sending her a pm.

Slizbeat: Fresh Democratic Party(FRESH)

Any more pics?

wilxz: Thats courageous, but come to tink of it cant this guy use his €500 to start a small biz to help himself, some of first class guys can't do things on there own, some lack the creativity mind set. They just like working for others and like being told what to do.

Starting a business in Europe would cost more than 500 BP.

otumfour: Abrantie! The FP topics are what keeps this site going......getting rid of it, would make it super boring, jus think of it as a bait.

FP bait must be so tasty the fish forgot to swim to the bottom for more tastier food .

Seriously though, pick any NL forum and check out the topics' post count. For a message board which constantly brags about number of members and web ratings etc, there should be no reason why the majority of posts can't have more than 10 comments.

The topics that have more than 50 comments are the ones which were likely featured on the front page.

Front page please!

No surprise there -- he has the fighting spirit of a BLACK STAR in him, just like Balotelli (but he's a bit over the top). Once you're born a Ghanaian, you'll always be a Ghanaian. Take a stand my man... take a friggin stand like your forefathers. We the people of Takoradi and all of Ghana are with you Kevin.

We patiently await your return to the national team. Godspeed.

Kevin-Prince Boateng's stand against racism supported

The world of football gave its full support to AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng's decision to walk off the pitch after he was subjected to racist chants during a friendly at Italian lower division club Pro Patria on Thursday.

Former Spurs and Portsmouth player Boateng kicked the ball into the crowd in the 25th minute of the match. He then walked off the pitch and was followed by his AC Milan team-mates.

Boateng later tweeted: "Shame that these things still happen... #StopRacismforever."

BBC Sport's Saj Chowdhury says the issue could be football's Rosa Parks moment - Parks being an African-American civil rights activist.

Boateng's decision has certainly been universally backed by his fellow professionals.

World Cup winner Patrick Vieira said on Twitter: "It was brave of Kevin-Prince Boateng to do what he did today, and it was the right thing. We need to stand up and stand together. Well done."

Reading striker Jason Roberts on Twitter: "2013...no grey area...until some real sanctions..real action is delivered.. players should walk off the pitch...enough is enough.."

Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand on Twitter: "If the stories about KPB walking off the pitch with team-mates after being racially abused are true, fair play to him. Well done #UefaStandUp"

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany on Twitter: "Act of racism against Boateng during Milan's friendly. How about becoming extremely intolerant towards racist idiots? They need to be told.

"I can only salute Milan's decision to leave the pitch. Also noted that the majority of the fans were completely supportive of the players."

Ex-England striker Michael Owen on Twitter: "That Prince-Boateng footage from the Milan game is shocking. Shame it takes a player to do that instead of the authorities being proactive."

Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker on Twitter: "The only way to change things is to punish the teams these vermin support. Not with meaningless fines but points!"

AC Milan midfielder Nigel de Jong says on Twitter: "Great action today of my teammates backing @KPBofficial to walk off the pitch. Federation got to stand up! #StopRacism"

In June, Uefa president Michel Platini said that any players who walked off the pitch at Euro 2012 because of racist abuse would be booked.

Several big name Premier League players highlighted the issue of racism in the English game by refusing to wear Kick It Out T-shirts during the charity's annual campaign in October.

My point is, it's okay to place a topic on front page. However, the selection process has to be based on that topic's performance on its own HOME forum.

Secondly, instead of placing 65 topics on FP, how about reducing it just about 10? It's counterproductive to make the front page a forum on its own. Tease your visitors and users a bit. Make them want more to wander into other areas of your site.

The baby must be Mancini's.

val_dubem: They must have put up a strong safety measure.

Indeed. It was placed in a brown envelope.
