This is what parents do everyday, why all the noise? My mom saved my life on countless occasiona, I gues she's not a celebrity going by Hollywood standard.

kennytidistar: in the united state you can apply to as many schools as you want, the bottom line is that you will always gain atleast one admission it now depends on you, if you will like to attend the school or not and again if you feel the feee is much you can at your own descrition choose a low cost or less expensive school since all wont be of the same standard. It depends on your choice the bottom line is, you must gain admission.

because US has more universities and admission slots than Naija universities. How times have u seen Naija unis advertising to attract students to their schools?

Bobajo: God bless you 1000 times for this post. They should shoot the people that own the money too for 1)'conduct directly exposing other peoples lives to danger' and 2). 'serial money laundering to perpetrate unnamed atrocities'

600 Million in one flight. Lawdofmercy... Na die we dey for this country... N600 Million - 2012. 1 Billion - 2013.

Keep hating on folks whose money was stolen. Do you know they have BDC at the airport? U keep hating while folks are making more papers!

fubbyy: from what I'm understanding it seems all this has to do with luck, so you mean any guy that gets quality girls must spend, anyway am sorry to tell you that I get them but don't spend anything, rather its even the quality girls that spends on me

Guy do you know that there are guys who spent all their years in school by women paying their school fees

Conduct a research

Getting some good girls is not the same as getting some Azonto girls. A good girl is someone who behaves like ur sister.

fubbyy: nice analysis bro, I got what you mean, but your post sounds like am bragging about girls who said yes to me, NO bro, am only complaining about what some guys do, for example, if I opened a thread talking about how girls are eating my money and dumping me, none of you will say am lying but when I said how I get a girl,get her laid and dump her some of you labeled me a lier and a brag brat

So is it really not possible for a guy to get chicks easily?

You are not telling us the whole story.. You are not spending money and getting laid? It reminds me of my photographer who was bragging on how he wasn't spending money on girls, but was offering free photographs and service to the girls he was messing with. U can get laid by several girls like street hawkers, and wowo girls, but responsible and quality girls are hard to find.
It's like you are getting the girls most guys don't want cos u know u get a good girl when everybody wants her.

If Achebe wrote out of ignorance , why is it that after over 30yrs of civil war, the same problems are still there? History has not vindicated Gowon and Co.

fubbyy: only jay-z and pitt get girls easily?

Cos in real life, real folks get turned down by some girls and get accepted by some girls, but guys with big ego like Donald Trump but are broke like hood rat only brag about girls who said yes. Unless u mean some ghetto azz hood rats..

Cos you are no Jay-Z or Brad Pitt!

Sounds like you are using the guy as rebound. Don't get cozy and romantic with him. It seems naive and odd to agree to go to his house without expecting any sexual/romantic advances, he's not your brother and he has made his intentions known that he would like to get in between your legs.

It means u get 50% attention and pay 50% less than number one guy!

OCTAVO: They were in the midst of his friends and he introduced her(his girlfriend) this way: “meet my friend....“
Now, i want you to respond accordingly...
1.If your boyfriend introduces you as a friend, how would you feel?
2.If your girlfriend introduces you as a friend, how would you feel?

It takes more than person to agree that someone is a BF/GF. Sometimes, the guy sees the girl as a friend while the girl has give herself a GF title or the guy is regarded as a friend or bill payer while has titled himself a BF. It takes 2 to agree or tango!

ijawkid: Xmas has always been what it is from its iÑception......pagan all the way and §atanic........nothing you gu.ys do can change it.......

Abeg which early chri§tians u deÝ talk about for your comment??.......which ones??.......thÉ pseudo ones wey Ðey worship images or the ones wey we kÑow from thÉ scriptures.......because as we know the Çelebration of xmas Ño even exist among early christians.....

Xmas is a human construct. Not enshrined in the bible!

PAGAN 9JA:
what has fb, Iphone,etc., got to do with tribal marks and custom. are you st.upid? did you fry your brains in a pan and eat it?
dumba$$. TUFIA!

A cretin unleash! 2013 folks are building apps and making great discoveries and you are here shouting tribal marks and mutilation of skin to fit your cultural beliefs

Stupid culture. We are using FB, BB IPhone, TV , Radio etc to spread message and reach our intended audience. Why not town crier and gong as our ancestors did?

Sibrah: Nice move. All must comply or relocate back to their roots. Lag is no economic jungle.

NL troll. How much have u paid?

As my prof would say: the rich are getting richer while the poor(Africans) are having more babies.

Airplane!

ijebabe: LOL! Things I don't want to repeat to anyone else! You know what they say, lady in the street and a ......

U forgot to mention things that go in and not eaten as well ..lol

obadiah777: ITS A PERSPECTIVE CHANGER. AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTER.

It's sheer naivety to infer that having a car is vanity, while you own a cellphone and probably a computer. Going to school is also vanity by your claim. Your attitude smack of defeatism.

obadiah777: I MEAN CARS AND PERCIEVED AFFLUENCE OF LIFE IS VANITY. MILLIONS OF PEOPLE KILL THEMSELVES AND CARRY DRUGS TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD A CAR LIKE THAT, YET IN ONE SINGLE MOMENT IT COULD ALL BE GONE *POOF* . CAR SMASHED UP AND DESTROYED IN A MOMENT. VANITY VANITY ALL IS VANITY

Some folks who have never had cars don't die or get killed by locomotives?

obadiah777: THATS BAD. VANITY VANITY ALL IS VANITY

What has this quote got to do with this particular incident? Naija Poverty mentality?

eastOFwest: Just noticed that the sections of road shown in Cameroun look far more superior to the sections in Nigeria?

Agreed, with better markings as well

paddy_lo: Surely you jest?

I kid you not man! BTW, pastor Adeboye drives his car without petrol.. powered by miracle

Cellphones are banned at some private universities. Folks believe that there is a killer call from a certain MTN/Airtel/Glo/Etisalat

If you bought DAAR shares, you have yourself to blame cos this coy had been insolvent as far back as 1998. They were unable to pay their creditors then.

Folks who have never graduated on top of their class; from nursery to university; have never written a published piece in any newspaper or journals in their lives; have never won anything in their lives; folks with failure running in the lineage and blood. Ask them to show us the CV of the most successful person in their family.

dayokanu: He renewed tribalism in Nigeria from his most recent book there was a country

Figment of our imagination! Why don't you write your own book as a rebuttal?

0lumide: I can't seem to be able to find one thing Achebe achieved as one of "African intellectual".

He had the tool and potential to make people listen to him but he didn't use that tool and potential for nothing but his own literary awards and nothing really educating per se. Except you want to call his style of writing educating. I call his style of writing political and not something that people across the board can really read when they seek guidance in anything.

All the "African" forum he attended were all just noise making forums who just sit and analyze what Africa should be without them following through their conclusions and ensuring that they capture the mind of corrupt African government for a change.

But still Achebe was a creative writer. But to put it beyond that to try and mortally immortalize him as a hero of Africans is just really sentimental. Achebe has contributed nothing to African development, people and spirit.

If we allow Achebe be called a hero, we are leaving space for people like baba suwe and other entertainers to be called Heros. King Sunny Ade as talented as he is in his work, is just a beauty of Africa not an African hero or active contributor to African development.

Achebe is just one of many Africa talents that stood above his peers in his work. Let's not get too sentimental and try to give undue hero worship to him, instead, recognize the creativity of his work which is what his fame is still based not contribution to African people's development. Thanks

bolaino: I know I'm going to get lots of insults thrown on my person after creating this topic, but to me the truth is better, I'm not a tribalist or an ethnic bigot, on the other hand I'm a proud Nigerian, one who believes that there is still hope for our great nation, I grew up reading literary works of chinua achebe, and I enjoyed his master piece (things fall apart) so much that I always re enacted this story whenever I was bored while growing up, the author of the book seemed bigger than life to me then, but growing up I discovered one thing about this man, he was a sadist, a pessimist, and a bad critic, he never saw the country Nigeria amounting to anything, he was always quick to condemn from the high pedestal which the "white man" put him, no doubt he has made Nigeria proud in the aspect of literature, but what has he done to help build this country? This is a man who spent half his life abroad pointing out problems of this country, but never offering sound possible solutions to these problems, this man hated his father land so much that he refused a national award twice, I believe that his refusal to accept the national awards stemmed from his hatred of his fatherland, not solely cos he felt the governments had failed the people, this man was not a man of the people as most people are claiming, rather he was a man against the people, he was a doomsday individual, he was hoping for the collapse of this our great country, he hated the market woman, the taxi driver and even the lawyer, he saw Nigerians as a people who could never change for the better, chinua achebe made us proud with his literary works, but aside from that he did not contribute enough for the over all development of this country, we've heard of great doctors who left the western world to come and practice in bush Africa, these men are the kind of people we should look up to, let me not say more, but I believe I have made my views known, may his soul rest, I hope he is buried in the United states.

Your article has not been published in any Naija Newspaper. You have not published in any journal let alone a peer reviewed one. You don't even know how to write a gossip column in a magazine. Just give us your dad's name so that we compare him with Achebe's achievements. Folks who have access to Internet think that everything happens on the Internet . You are not even sure if your obituary is going make it on Nairaland. Attacking Achebe's achievement by a nobody is like taking a fist fight to a missile fight.
