What is wrong with broad street?

I've never come across any foreign host that hosts .NG domains.

Please,what is the main difference(s) between TOEFL and IELTS

They are both English language tests but run by two different agencies. TOEFL is mainly used in the US while IELTS is mainly used in the UK, Canada and even the US.

Narcos
Mistresses
The last Kingdom

I watched Narcos and it was off the chain. I forgot to include it among the series i like. I tried Mistresses sometime ago but it seemed slow. I wasn't really feeling it.

Let me have a look at Last Kingdom.

A large chunk of the Brazilian population is mixed na. Lol.

Someone like Pele is apparently Black. Someone like Gisele Bundchen is apparently white. But a very significant percentage of Brazilians are mixtures of two or the three races I mentioned and are 'brownish'

Gisele Bundchen is originally from Germany. Her parents settled in Brazil.

Go find a job and marry a wife. Stop lingering in childhood perpetually

We have passed that propaganda.

Aren't both of you essentially saying the same thing?

These days it's becoming pretty hard requesting for good seasonal movies because i find it hard to decide what genres i like. I thought i liked Action, crime and the likes but i've come to love series irrespective of genre but it just needs to have some edge and not just the reglar interesting movies. Here are examples of series that i like, so i'll be grateful if you guys can suggest other that fit the bill.

Breaking Bad
game of Thrones
Prison Break
Devious Maids
Desperate Housewives
The Walking Dead
Castle
Power
etc etc

Before I start, Merry Christmas to everyone.

What show do you refuse to watch or couldn't get into because of a petty reason? I have loads, and before I cross over into the new year, I'ma get them off my chest.

- First one is South Park. Don't get me wrong. I know the show's hilarious and whatnot, but at first, the inability of the characters to move the damn legs triggered me so much that I put off watching it for as long as possible.

- Stranger Things because I normally don't like child actors. They're either sh*t or playing an irritating role - so I generally refuse to watch things where kids are the leads. Don't judge me, I'm petty like that.

- The Exorcist. Couldn't watch it because it's a broadcast network show. Finally caved in last 2 months or thereabouts, because I read somewhere that the plot is connected to the original movie. Turns out it's an okay watch after all. Still not sure I will be watching the 3rd season if/when it becomes available, because... FOX.

- I couldn't get into Persons Of Interest because I hate the lead actor. I couldn't stand how he talks: low mumble, barely moving his lips and his face frozen in that solemn expression.

- I couldn't watch Jane The Virgin because of the CW. No further explanation needed.

- Riverdale. I used to love Archie comics growing up and the idea it's a teen drama now makes me sick to my stomach. Why does CW has to ruin everything?

- 13 Reasons Why. Some people would say they don't like this show because of the way it glorifies suicide and bullying. Meh. I'm a simple guy, I don't like to over-complicate issues. If it's an HBO production and those teen leads are replaced with adults, I would have watched the hell out of that show. I hate teen dramas.

- All DC Super hero shows. CW is to be blamed here.

- Big Bang Theory. I couldn't get into it because of the frigging laugh tracks. I don't like comedies with laugh tracks.

- Van Helsing. I was gonna give this show a try because I love the movie, but then I read that the titular character's name was Vanessa Helsing. I found that utterly disgusting that I refuse to watch it. From the recent reviews, I don't think I'm missing out at all.

You seem like someone who gets easily pissed off But i share some of your sentiments.

My sister has been telling me about Big Bang Theory is this and that and it took me only 5 minutes to give up on it when i heard the sound tracks. I don't entirely hate comedies because i enjoyed Friends and HIMYM but these days i want to stick with serious movies.

I'm currently watching "Jane the Virgin". Initially i wanted to toss it into the trash can but decided otherwise because of the hype. It's definitely something i can do without but it has some good moments.

I understand what you mean by Kiefer Sutherland's character in "Person of Interest" but if you get past that, it's a pretty solid movie.

LesbianBoy:
Who told you tekno and runtown are not stepping up their games? They are, but those two guys are like ronaldo and messi. They make others look like they are doing nothing

I think you're right with the Messia and Ronaldo comparison. Tekno needs a little more push to be on that level. I think Tekno is like Neymar

Rscotty55:
How do you mean biggest show

Biggest show by attendance be it free or paid. We know Davido and Wizkid probably had more sponsors owing to their current status and the location of the show. I don't think any reasonable person will debate that.

As long as Trump is in the power, even IRAQ will be placed ahead of the US. No be CNN again?

Rscotty55:
I get u bro...Phyno concerts was more like a Free show...

People paid 10m 5m 2m 50k for davidoz show...many people were locked out cux of no space... Comon man how do u rate successful.. With d array of sponsors.. Caliber of Artistes present... I guess u anoda IPOB

I said Phyno had the biggest show and you;re arguing with yourself.

Isn't it funny that Phyno had the biggest concert this year but it's no trending as much as this one. Could it be because he did it outside Lagos?

Kai, Davido and Wizkid really ran things this year and i don't see them slowing down next year. Tekno, Runtown and other artiste need to up teir game a bit.

This kind of thing can cause an outrage in the US.

Dopenigga:
Seriously Nkaataa?you guys couldn't think out a better name,by d way what does "ncatarrh" stand for

Nkaata is basket in Igbo language.

Eboue's grace to grass story is very sad. It is even more pathetic when the source of his problem is a lady who once claimed to love him so much. This should serve as a good lesson to every man out there. It is not in our African culture for a man to work and make money and then give it to the woman to manage it. Don't ever entrust all your assets to a lady no matter how much love you proclaim for each other. The idea of a joint account or joint ownership is nonsense. Let there be a delineation. An African man is not expected to declare all his earnings and assets to his wife for a reason.

Our African male stars also have to stop this silly trend of marrying white women once they become rich and famous. Go back to your country and marry a girl from there. Don't ever marry under any stupid European or American law. Marry under the law of your country. If things go wrong, get elders from your respective places to intervene and when reconciliation is no longer possible, you can divorce quietly without her clearing you out. If you must marry under European or American law, fvcking sign a prenuptial agreement.

Ahmed Musa divorced his first wife without losing anything significant. He probably wouldn't have gotten away easily with the divorce if he had married a white British woman initially.

It's like you've never been in love. These days i'm even trying to differentiate between Being in love and being an imbecil*e.

londoner:
Very nice pictures of the nice parts of SA and yes the images are more developed than what Nigeria has to offer at the moment. No argument there but as they were designed and built so can Nigeria or any other country plan and build theirs. Even Dubai was once a desert yet you'd be hard pressed to find a comparable metropolis in most other countries including South Africa.

I am looking forward to Eko Atlantic City as it has the potential to set a new standard for Nigerian and indeed African cities. That is what we Nigerians should face to be honest.

Eko Atlantic is not setting any standard that Lagos or Abuja has not set. Nigeria is just not a country that cares so much about beauty. We build our cities in a haphazard manner.

@topic
There's really no contest. South African cities are far ahead of anything Nigeria has to offer.

MicheyJ:
How many non Enugu indigenes do you know that come to spend Christmas in Enugu ?

It still makes sense for anyone from other Igbo state coming from a place as Kano or Lagos to stop in Enugu and then take another transport to complete the short journey.

The operatives of SARS are one of the worst things to happen to Nigeria in modern times. They have maimed and harassed innocent civilians. Having said that, i don't think calling for the end of SARS will change anything because the police or any other agency will take over from where they stopped. I think reforming the agency is the best call of action.

But how do people not backup their contacts?

Abagworo:
Are you still in Port Harcourt ?

No, I left. Why do you ask?

A lot has been said about the arrest of the owner of Innoson Motors, Innocent Chukwuma and a lot of people have taken sides due to their political or tribal inclinations.

I personally think that the Igbos are accorded the least respect in Nigeria by any government in power due to our history with the Nigerian state. It's also true that this current government of Buhari has made it a duty to accentuate the disgust he has for people from that region, whether it is hereditary or because that region refused to vote for him in the 2015 general elections.

However, i think i think we need to examine this issue properly before jumping into conclusions. Innoso is not a saint, neither is EFCC or GTB. We don't know who is the defaulter here. We're only relying on the on the information we get based on our own bias. While those in support of Innoson will take his side of the story to be the truth, those who hate the guts of the Igbos, will take sides with EFCC or GTB. Even if it means to take the side of satan as long as Igbos are at the receiving end, it's all well and good.

Like i said, we don't know what transpired between this parties and can only speculate.

Having said that, irrespective of what Innoson must has done (that's if he did anything wrong), i don't think any high profile Northern business man would have been arrested the way Innoson was arrested. Can they arrest Dangote or Indimi the same way they arrested Innoson? It just shows the bias in our ethno-geographical polity and it's a shame.

This people just wan dey cause trouble. I think sharia court is still accepting lawyers. If you can't abide by the modus operandi of a secular court then go elsewhere.

Not leather seat

My bad.

Abagworo, with the way you keep praising Owerri, i wonder why you still live in Port-hacourt.

Rubbish article

First, the author has presented no statistical evidence supporting his primary claim....

Two, even if the primary claim was to be found to be correct, i doubt if would hold in developed countries...

Thirdly, What does the author regard as an acceptable level of the education? From the article i infer that the OP believes that a first degree is the minimum acceptable level of education. I find this contestable.

The strife to be relevant is not determined by your level of education.

The desire to change the world is also not a function of your level of education. All those uneducated boys building fuel less generation nko?

I dont have time to analyze the rest of the rubbish you wrote..

Dangote, Adenuga, Otedola, etc are all educated...

Are these people you mentioned the most educated people in their field? They're where they are because they were street smart and did not rely on their education.

Ken4Christ:
Since it appear that the battle line is likely to be between Buhari and Atiku, I think it is important for us to start asking reasonable questions.

Please, who knows what is Atiku's highest qualification? Does he even have a first degree?

I do know it's not just about your degree but to some extent, it matters. Nigeria is where it is because we have been led by those who are not well educated.

Was it not you people that said that you would vote for Buhari even if he has a NEPA bill. I thought you didn't care so much about certificates.

^^^ I've always wondered how dogs allow strangers to walk them without attempting to bite them. This ish can't work in Nigeria.

Please, let me know when GOAT and CHICKEN farmers decide to hold theirs. I don't do pork.

Keep the orders coming.
