Nairaland GeneralLesson Of The Day by adisa204(op): 7:59am On Aug 14, 2014
a big company. He passed
the initial interview, and now would meet the director for
the final interview. The
director discovered from his CV that the youth’s academic
achievements were
excellent. He asked, “Did you obtain any scholarships in
school?” the youth answered
“no”.
” Was it your father who paid for your school fees?” "My
father passed away when I
was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my
school fees.” he replied.
” Where did your mother work?” “My mother worked as
clothes cleaner.”
The director requested the youth to show his hands. The
youth showed a pair of
hands that were smooth and perfect. ” Have you ever
helped your mother wash the
clothes before?”
“Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read
more books. Besides, my
mother can wash clothes faster than me. The director
said, “I have a request. When
you go home today, go and clean your mother’s hands,
and then see me tomorrow
morning.
The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high.
When he went back home,
he asked his mother to let him clean her hands. His
mother felt strange, happy but
with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to her son.
The youth cleaned his mother’s hands slowly. His tear fell
as he did that. It was the
first time he noticed that his mother’s hands were so
wrinkled, and there were so
many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful
that his mother winced
when he touched it.
This was the first time the youth realized that it was this
pair of hands that washed
the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fees.
The bruises in the
mother’s hands were the price that the mother had to pay
for his education, his
school activities and his future.
After cleaning his mother hands, the youth quietly washed
all the remaining clothes
for his mother.
That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.
Next morning, the youth went to the director’s office.
The Director noticed the tears in the youth’s eyes, when he
asked: “Can you tell me
what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?”
The youth answered,” I cleaned my mother’s hand, and
also finished cleaning all the
remaining clothes’
“I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, I
would not be who I am
today. By helping my mother, only now do I realize how
difficult and tough it is to get
something done on your own.
The director said, “This is what I am looking for in a
manager. I want to recruit a
person who can appreciate the help of others, a person
who knows the sufferings of
others to get things done, and a person who would not put
money as his only goal in
life.”
“You are hired.”
This young person worked very hard, and received the
respect of his subordinates.
Every employee worked diligently and worked as a team.
The company’s performance
improved tremendously.
A child, who has been protected and habitually given
whatever he wanted, would
develop an “entitlement mentality” and would always put
himself first. He would be
ignorant of his parent’s efforts. When he starts work, he
assumes that every person
must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he
would never know the
sufferings of his employees and would always blame
others.
You can let your child live in a big house, eat a good meal,
learn piano, watch on a
big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let
them experience it. After a
meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with
their brothers and sisters. It
is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but
it is because you want to
love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no
matter how rich their
parents are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the
mother of that young
person. The most important thing is your child learns how
to appreciate the effort
and experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work
with others to get things
done.
Try to forward this story to as many as possible…this may
change somebody’s fate.

TV/MoviesNarrative Elements Of Film by adisa204(op): 6:58am On Aug 12, 2014
Man has been telling stories much before he learned to
write. Through cave paintings, through epics passed on to
generations as oral tradition, and then subsequently
through different forms of the written word, poetry, plays,
novels, operas, songs, comic books, photo features and
eventually cinema, the human urge to tell stories has never
been satiated, nor has our desire to listen to one. Between
all these forms or media of communicating a story there
have been some common elements, and then there have
been story elements unique to a certain medium. Similarly,
what type or kind of stories will work on one medium vis a
vis another is also something we have been discovering all
this while. For me, personally, it has been a matter of great
fulfilment to try to understand the dynamics of cinematic
storytelling and how telling a story on film is different from
other forms of human expression. In this post, I have tried
to briefly summarise some elements of storytelling with
respect to the motion picture. This, in my opinion, is only
an introduction to the world of cinematic storytelling. So
here they are, the eight narrative elements of film:
1. Character: If there is one element of good stories that is
common through all ages and narrative forms, and if there
is one unbroken rule of successful storytelling, it is this -
creating compelling characters whose story the world
would want to listen. We, and our society, are obsessed
with this incorrigible need to create heroes whom we can
look upto, heroes whom we can admire, care for, whose
wins matter to us, whose losses we hate to endure.
Creating an unforgettable, relatable, likeable protagonist,
and making him or her face a ruthless, mean, unforgiving
antagonist has been the most common recipe of several
great stories. And then, you need to add to the mix an
interesting ensemble of supporting characters, an
'orchestration' where the individual parts complement each
other like different musical instruments playing together to
create a moving symphony. Think of any film you love, and
you can be certain that it has great characters. Even
writers who have broken different rules of film writing, read
Quentin Tarantino et al, have not been able to break this
one absolute rule. You want to write a film that the world
loves? Make the audience invest in your characters, and
the sooner the better.
2. Plot: A story is
always a journey that its characters take. Whether it is a
self-reflective, internal monologue of a novel, or an
adventure ride of a movie - the characters, especially the
protagonist(s), undertake an emotional or physical journey
that causes some change in them by the end. The course of
this journey is marked by events - incidents and
experiences that the protagonist faces. The plot is the
series of these events, from the beginning, through the
middle, until the end, that gives us the feeling of the forward
motion (or motionlessness) of the story. The most
important events of the plot are often significant
irreversible incidents that change the course of the plot and
push it further ahead. These events are called Plot Points.
When Neo Anderson takes the red pill and decides to
understand what is wrong with him, when Bhuvan accepts
the challenge from the British Captain on behalf of his
village, when Simran meets Raj on the first day of her
Europe trip, when Jack saves Rose from committing
suicide over the deck of the mighty ship - we know their
respective stories have changed irreversibly and moved
ahead. These are all examples of Plot Points. The plot can
be thin or thick, but it is this that forms the body of your
story.
3. Conflict: Imagine what would have happened if Bhuvan
and the villagers already knew the game of cricket and
easily defeated the British to get rid of their taxes. If Jack
were of the same social status as Rose and the ship had
sailed smoothly to reach its destination, if Simran enjoyed
absolute freedom and she and Raj had no friction
whatsoever when they met and her Dad had no problem
with him as his son-in-law, or if Neo had a doubtless,
riskless journey of realising that he was 'the One' - these
stories would be as dead as logs of wood. Conflict is the
bread and butter of drama. The more you can involve the
audience into the conflicted situations of your characters,
the more problems you can create for your protagonists
and make them overcome those one by one, the more
successful your storytelling will be. Also, any level of
conflict or drama starts appearing redundant, repetitive or
lukewarm unless you keep increasing the stakes and keep
coming up with bigger conflicts. Especially as a storyteller
on film, we need to keep raising the tension and thickening
the action to make sure the collective attention and interest
of hundreds of people watching the film stays with us. How
to do it without making it look manipulative or convenient
is something we have been trying to learn for all these
years. And this is something that each film writer struggles
with, even after years of experience.
4. Resolution : So how does it end? If you have told a
gripping story, it better end well, or the audience will feel
terribly cheated. In cinema, particularly, the ending is very
important because hundreds of people are going to react
together to it as they exit the theater. And their 'Exit Door
Reaction', or EDR - a word that I have coined, can make or
break your movie on which crores of rupees are riding. I
have read several good novels that have weak final act, but
perhaps none of the great movies suffer from this. A
climactic resolution to the already thickening plot, a final
confrontation of the protagonist with the antagonistic
forces, a final Plot Point, that is emotionally, dramatically,
and visually the high point of the film is very important to
complete your movie experience. And this closure, this
resolution of the primary conflict of the film, or the lack of it
(as is the case with tragedies), often brings forth the 'point
of the movie'. The resolution should also, generally, cause
a significant change in the life of the protagonist. After all,
is a story worth telling, if it is not signifcant for its own
protagonist?
5. Structure: "A story should have a beginning, a middle,
and an end, but not necessarily in that order." This
wonderful quote by Jean-Luc Godard is perhaps the
simplest way to put across the importance of structure.
Also, the pleasures of structure are more apparent and
impactful in a movie than any other form of narration. From
'Citizen Kane' to 'The Killing', from 'Mystery Train' to 'Pulp
Fiction', from 'Irreversible' to 'Memento' to 'Amores Perros'
and '21 Grams' - playing with time, twisting the plot, and
constantly challenging the audience has been a wonderful
game moviemakers have been indulging in. But I would
also like to insist that a simple, linear narrative is at times
equally powerful, if not more. Imagine the timeless story of
'Bicycle Thieves' told in flashback when the last scene has
already been played and then the entire film is an
explanation of that. Would that ever cause the heartbreak
that the film's simple, linear design does? Determining the
correct structure for your story is like deciding on how to
dress yourself for a certain ceremony. From your reputation
to the impact you can make may depend so majorly on
that. Personally, I find this, determining the structure of a
film I am writing, the most exciting stage of film writing.
6. Scenes : A scene is
the building block of a screenplay, its most basic unit that
has its own independent, whole existence. Technically
speaking, everything happening at one place at one time in
the film is a scene. The moment you change the location or
jump time, you have entered a new scene. It is this
wonderful ability of a scene to actually make you feel that
"you were there" is what makes cinema a "live" emotional
experience. Unlike all other forms of narrative, cinema is
very much a "real" experience, even when it is telling an
outright fantastical tale. So the importance of scenes as its
units can never be stressed enough. When does the scene
begin (it may enter the 'event' or the 'incident' a little late)
or when it ends (we may leave earlier, abruptly, leaving
something for the imagination) is as important as the
internal dramatic structure of the scene and how the events
unfold in it. Also important is the transition from one scene
to the other. If scenes are stitched together to form one
seamless whole, we very willingly lose ourselves into the
universe of our characters. Scenes from great films also
create unforgettable moments that gain iconic status in
cinema history. Rose and Jack standing together with her
arms wide open on the bow of the ship as it pierces the
heart of the mighty ocean is an image that will live forever.
A moment or scene as cinematically powerful as this can
also be among the biggest motivations for the creative
talent involved in the tedious filming process.
7. Dialogue : From creating characters that we worship
forever to conveying the biggest plot truths, from bringing
out the internal and external conflicts to establishing the
significance of a powerful resolution, from constructing the
internal drama of the scenes to being wonderful transitional
devices, dialogue or spoken lines are one of the most
conspicuous elements of film narrative. Each line spoken in
a film may serve several functions - from entertaining and
seducing the audience to making them empathise with
even the coldest of characters, and dialogue, as well as
conscious and economical lack of it, forms a major part of
our movie-viewing pleasure. However, more often than not,
bad dialogue also completely ruins the film. "Show, not
tell" and "Less is more" - these rules are perfectly apt for
film writing. "In a novel, a character thinks . In a play, he
talks . In cinema, he does" - this is another broad
generalisation that I love. Cinematic dialogue is so different
from any other narrative medium. And if done well, smart
and tasteful dialogue becomes an inseparable part of
popular culture more succesfully than any other story
element of films.
8. Visuals : Perhaps the most unique of all narrative
elements discussed above is something that is most
integral to motion pictures - the visuals. It is no wonder
that cinema is the youngest human expression - it had to
wait hundreds of years, until photography was invented.
And thanks to this "real" reproduction of images, cinema
could actually become this powerful and impactful form of
mass communication. Apart from making the story appear
real and inviting, the visuals in cinema transcend time and
cultural boundaries. I so often feel thankful to cinema for
having shown me different cultures and lands and people
when I have never stepped out of my country. Well-done
compositions, purposefully designed color-palettes, and
metaphoric use of images not only enhance the aesthetic
pleasure of watching a film, they also give film its own
unique grammar, form, and expression. It is important to
mention 'visuals' as one of the narrative elements of
cinema, although its depiction mainly depends on how the
film is shot, because a film writer has to understand the
visual potential of this medium. And unless the film writer
imagines it, great and unforgettable visuals will never be
created. And if not for the visual spleandour that cinema is,
we would remain contented with the good old novels and
fables and folk tales.
P.S. Apart from these eight basic elements of cinematic
storytelling, there is one more that some writers and many
viewers put a great deal of importance to. It is the 'theme'
of the film, the 'moral of the story'. Often during
discussions on a film, we tend to emphasise so much on
its philosophical message or its socio-political
implications. I, personally, do not consider this as an
essential element of film narrative. I do not believe in
making films to change the world, although I accept the
power this medium possesses. I also do not find it an
obligation to tell stories with certain moral obligations. For
me, the only approach to take while creating a screenplay
is to find interesting characters who have got something
going on in their lives that is so universally appealing that
it will always find audience. And also, I believe, each story
that is well told, carries a moral or a theme, whether the
writer intends to convey it or not.

HealthAfrica Find Its Own Cure For Ebola by adisa204(op): 6:53pm On Aug 06, 2014
LAGOS, NIGERIA – While America is busy
injecting defenseless rats with the Ebola
virus to systematically extract antibodies
that can maybe “cure” Ebola. A group of
extraordinary Africans have come together
to find a more humane and effective cure for
the disease.
Sources confirm that this potential cure does
not involve harming rats, monkeys or any
sort of animal and neither was it created in
any fancy or expensive African research
University or Hospital (that is if they even
exist). These brilliant scientists…I mean
pastors gathered inside Africa’s most
lavishly equipped and weekly funded
medical research facility … the Nigerian
church … where several other cures have
been discovered in the past couple of years.
Including the cure for Aids, the cure for
Cancer, the cure for Poverty and even the
cure for Boko Haram just ask Pastor T.B.
Joshua!
So while America is still playing around with
rats, these Nigerian pastors are hard at
work trying to find a permanent Human
solution for Ebola….and they are close!
Their proposed cure unofficially called
Annointing-Oil-Z has significant
advantages over the recent American Z-
mapp serum used recently on 2 American
health workers. For starters it does not need
to be administered intravenously … it can be
administered with a simple push I mean
touch of oil to the forehead. Another
advantage is that the oil is not temperature
sensitive. Unlike the Z-mappT serum that
has to be kept at subzero temperature and
thawed out naturally, the Annointing-Oil-
ZTM has shown significant stability in both
low and high temperatures.
With just a few scriptures and Annointing-
Oil-Z patients who had the Ebola fever or
Malaria fever or any kind of fever for that
matter … instantly showed a dramatic
improvement in their condition. Data is
inconclusive at the moment on the full
potential of the drug and whether it can
be commercialized in the near future.
However, the initial results are promising.
And as more and more pastors from top
Nigerian religious institutions come together
to tackle this disease, the chances of a
commercial solution rise even higher.
What is most interesting about this cure is
that it is 100% crowd funded by thousands
of worshipers every week. In addition to
that, the Government gives significant tax
breaks to these religious research facilities
to encourage their research work.
“Without the Government tax breaks we
would struggle to maintain our research
facilities and also struggle to expand our
health and healing ministries,” said Nigerian
Clergyman Titus Theophilus, who explained
that the Government tax breaks plays a
significant role in ensuring that the ministry
is well funded. “Thanks to them (The
Government) we are able to get our
message across to other parts of West
Africa and have even been able to purchase
a private jet for our head Pastor in case he
needs to meet with other top researchers
from across the world.”
So while the American Government is busy
spending millions of dollars to build top
University/Hospital research facilities and
killing rats and monkeys in the process. The
Nigerian Governments are instead
busy investing in a much humane and
arguably better solution which does not put
a burden on their tax payers. A solution that
is powered by weekly crowd funded tithes
with additional but indirect
support via Government tax breaks.
At the end of the day the Nigerian solution is
brilliant as it does not put any pressure on
the Nigerian Government to address
consistent University strike issues or even
Hospital strike issues. I mean who needs
fully functional medical facilities and top
notch University building when your country
has some of the largest and most expensive
churches in the world.
At this rate, a permanent end to Ebola might
just be around the corner and it will shock
the world to know that the
solution Annointing-Oil-Z was made in
Nigeria!...

SportsKeita Accuses Pepe For Racism by adisa204(op): 5:04pm On Jul 31, 2014
Roma midfielder Seydou Keita
claims racist remarks made by
Pepe earlier in his career were the
reason behind his midweek
confrontation with the defender.
Prior to Roma's International
Champions Cup clash with Real Madrid, Keita threw a water
bottle at Pepe after refusing to shake his hand , sparking a
coming-together between both sets of players on the pitch.
Following the incident, Keita took to his official Twitter
account to state that Pepe had racially abused him during his
playing days with Barcelona, writing: "1. He called me a
monkey during Madrid-Barca, 2. I did not shake his hand, 3.
He spat on me, and after I threw the bottle, sorry for my
attitude".
Speaking to RF1 later on Wednesday, the 34-year-old Mali
international explained he had decided before the game not to
shake the Portugal international's hand and was provoked into
throwing the bottle when Pepe spat at him.
"At the time I played with Barcelona, Pepe called me a
'macaco', that is to say a monkey, and he spat on me. I told
myself: 'This guy is worthless,'" he said.
"At the time, I did not speak publicly about it because it wasn't
worth it. That's why I didn't shake his hand before the friendly.
I even told my intention to my team-mate Mehdi Benatia. So I
greeted everyone except him.
"And suddenly he came up behind me and spat on me. At the
time, I had a bottle of water and I threw it at him. His team-
mates saw us and they had the intention to strike me.
"It's true that I gave a bad image of myself and I apologise.
But it's lucky we were on a football field because it's
unacceptable that one man spits on another. I don't see why I
would shake his hand, because in his eyes I'm not a human
being.
"I don't want to talk to someone who does not consider me a
human. His behaviour is unacceptable. Instead of asking why I
didn't shake his hand, he preferred to spit on me.
"I'm not saying I'm a saint. Like everyone I have flaws, but I
respect people."
Keita's comments come during a week in which racism has
once more grabbed the headlines in Italian football, with Fifa
demanding an investigation after FIGC vice-president Carlo
Tavecchio referred to young African players moving to Serie A
as "banana eaters" .
Keita, however, does not believe racism is endemic in
European football.
"No, we shouldn't generalise," he said. "I am African and I've
played a long time in Europe. I have often met wonderful
people.
"From time to time there are small-thinking ones who are not
very nice, but I've rarely had to endure such behaviour. For
me, that is too many. If some use football to say and do
anything, it's a minority. I don't want to generalise."
SportsRe: Nigerian Onaolapo Pulls Pant Off After Commonwealth Win! by adisa204(m): 4:54pm On Jul 31, 2014
Akinmail: The Nigeria table tennis team were responsible for the best scenes of celebration in the Commonwealth Games so far after Ojo Onaolapo's win over India's Sharath Kamal Achanta sealed a bronze medal.
Onaolapo and Achanta were locked in a tense battle on Monday night at the Scotstoun Sports Campus with a bronze medal on the line before the Nigerian allowed an over-hit shot to pass him by.
The dramatic win saw the Nigerian team rush to Onaolapo in sheer jubilation before lifting the table tennis star into the air.

As the celebrations continued, Onaolapo decided to pull his shorts down to his ankles and lift up his t-shirt as he clenched his fists.
Onaolapo, who is ranked outside of the world's top 300 table tennis players, claimed the victory against world No 40 Achanta to hand Nigeria a 3-1 win against their Indian opponenents.

RomanceSingles Dating Guide: How To Rock Your First Date. by adisa204(op): 4:33pm On Jul 31, 2014
I)Dress to impress
As other singles dating will tell you, the very first thing your date will see are your clothes so it is extremely important to pick what you wear. Your clothes tell a lot about you. However keep in mind that although you should dress smartly, you should dress according to the activity and occasion as well. Being under-dressed or over-dressed not only makes you look bad, it might actually turn off your date. Find something that matches the occasion, all the while making you look your best.

2)Watch what you eat
While you don’t need to starve yourself on eating salads and you should eat properly at our date, it would be best to avoid foods that might cause a mess. Basically your goal is to show your date that you are comfortable and confident enough with them that you are having a full meal, but not so hungry as to turn into a monster. The way you eat is one of the few things your date will be looking at, but it is among the most important that will make or break your relationship.


3)Pay attention.
Boring your date should be the last thing you should do. While you should talk about yourself, remember that there is another person at that date and you should let them talk and express themselves as well. Pay close attention to how your date reacts and responds to your actions that should tell you whether they are enjoying your company or whether you should change your strategy.

4)Turn your phone off
Answering calls and messages while on a date is a huge deal-breaker for many. It shows your date that you aren’t invested in the date and that you rather be somewhere else. So either put your phone on silent or turn it off completely—better yet, keep it away from your direct reach. Many people use their cellphones as a nervous quirk, although it doesn’t look very nice. For singles dating, finding a date is hard enough. Now that you have one, don’t turn them off by forgetting your manners.


5)Follow up
Whether you’ve managed to charm your date or screwed up the entire date up, you should follow up by giving your date a call or text afterwards. Your singles dating life does not end after one meal. Wait a day if you want. However just because you viewed the date as a failure, doesn’t mean your date won’t be willing to give it another shot—so don’t give up without trying!

kennygee: That is because they do, they only cheated because they were busy looking for the 20% you lack and they decided to forfeit the 80% just to have a taste of an unrealistic 20%. Hope I made sense.
