Hope youve learnt your lesson!

1ce bitten 2ce shy.

But kudos men, at least your first post reach frontpage, some of us wey don tey small we never reach yet

Kobojunkie:
What in the world has Hillary to do with this? Is Hillary Clinton suddenly Obama’s mama? Jeez… the woman is out, LET HER BE!! If Obama can not hold his own, then he does not deserve the nomination, let alone the presidency, period!

Hillary actually has a lot to do with this. Palin even proved it from her own mouth!

tpia:
The lady is rather unknown.

There's probably an oil connection somewhere.

LMAO na naija?

But guys, seriosly. . .

4play it is more mature to argue without name calling

And I get your point.

The buck stops at the President's desk, but that doesn't make the Vice President the person responsible for keeping the desk polished

Its nice to see these housemates play constructive word games,not just daring each other to lick nipples and strip.

mazaje:
Keep on deluding your self by trying to make up excuses for the failed prophecies, looking at the context and the time you seem to be runnning away from the truth. kai by the way na you sabi. believe what you want to believe am out.

Im not deluded, Im just as dogmatic as you!

Cheers.

4 Play:
Wonderful logic. So because his opponent has a supposedly inexperienced running mate,that makes up for wanting to be an inexperienced President.

Even then,Palin has more executive experience than Biden and Obama combined.

I thought McCain's argument was about political experience, generally speaking and not necessarily executive experience alone.

Or is McCain's time in a Vietnamese prison executive experience?

If it was truly about executive experience alone, why does Obama keep reminding us that McCain voted with Bush 95% of the time; in the legislature?

Like Obama said during the primaries, none of the candidates can say accurately what they would do if the phone rang at 3 am because none of them has been in the white house at that time.

mazaje:
who can not lie? jesus/god?

let me show you and example of where he lied in the bible

According to Jer. 42:17, Jews who choose to live in Egypt will all die and leave no remnant. But history shows that Jews continued to live there for centuries, later establishing a cultural center at Alexandria.

According to Isa. 17:1, Damascus will be destroyed, but in fact Damascus is one of the few ancient cities that has never been destroyed

This are just two of the lies there are so many others.

But all concerning the world is not said and done; or is it, in your mind?

Anyway I dont want to go off topic any further.

mazaje:
Jesus should strike the owner of the site and all those ridiculing him here on the thread and kill him immediately just the way that he has done so many times in the bible, i thought he was almighty god that can do every and anything?

Absolutely wrong. He cannot lie. He said so.

[center]@ ALL[/center]

Thanks for your advice; I collected the report today from Alagbon. It is one Mrs. Jegede that helped me.

N5,500 and I wasnt allowed to negotiate.

The report states that I have no criminal convictions in the records of the Nigerian police; records that are no where to be found.

It is valid for only three months.

Obama has graciously congratulated Palin but has declared that McCain can no longer use the inexperience argument against him; hypocritically.

Common misspelled words

acceptable
Several words made the list because of the suffix pronounced -êbl but sometimes spelled -ible, sometimes -able. Just remember to accept any table offered to you and you will spell this word OK.

accidentally
It is no accident that the test for adverbs on -ly is whether they come from an adjective on -al ("accidental" in this case). If so, the -al has to be in the spelling. No publical, then publicly.

accommodate
Remember, this word is large enough to accommodate both a double "c" AND a double "m".

acquire
Try to acquire the knowledge that this word and the next began with the prefix ad- but the [d] converts to [c] before [q].

a lot
Two words! Hopefully, you won't have to allot a lot of time to this problem.

amateur
Amateurs need not be mature: this word ends on the French suffix -eur (the equivalent of English -er).

cemetery
Don't let this one bury you: it ends on -ery—nary an -ary in it. You already know it starts on [c], of course.

changeable
The verb "change" keeps its [e] here to indicate that the [g] is soft, not hard. (That is also why "judgement" is the correct spelling of this word, no matter what anyone says.)

collectible
Another -ible word. You just have to remember.

column
Silent final [e] is commonplace in English but a silent final [n] is not uncommon, especially after [m].



conscience
Don't let misspelling this word weigh on your conscience: [ch] spelled "sc" is unusual but legitimate.

WOW, Im apaul'd by this chred!

Remember that English is not the first language of majority of Nigerians.

And as another poster noted, education is not treated as it should be, both by the government and by schools.

Palin should not have made the comparison with Hillary Clinton.

I think that was a big mistake; she should have allowed the voters to do it first.

Quite a number of women voted for Hillary because she was the first experienced and trusted female to run.

You can't just change skirts on any woman and expect it to fit.

DENVER - John McCain tapped Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a conservative who shares his maverick streak, to be the Republican vice presidential running mate on Friday in a startling selection on the eve of the Republican National Convention.
ADVERTISEMENT

In an announcement, McCain's campaign said that Palin, who has been governor less than two years, "has the record of reform and bipartisanship that others can only speak of.

"Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington today," the announcement said.

McCain and Palin were appearing together in swing-state Ohio later in the day.

Palin has a strong anti-abortion record, and her selection was praised warmly by social conservatives whose support Mccain needs to prevail in the campaign for the White House.

"It's an absolutely brilliant choice," said Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University school of Law. "This will absolutely energize Mccain's campaign and energize conservatives," he predicted.

With his pick, McCain passed over more prominent contenders like Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, as well as others such for former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, whose support for abortion rights might have sparked unrest at the convention that opens Monday in St. Paul, Minn.

The timing of McCain's selection appeared designed to limit any political gain Obama derives from his own convention, which ended Thursday night with his nominating acceptance speech before an estimated 84,000 in Invesco Field in Colorado.

Public opinion polls show a close race between Obama and McCain, and with scarcely two months remaining until the election, neither contender can allow the other to jump out to a big post-convention lead.

At 44, Palin is a generation younger than two of McCain's seven children. She also is considerably younger than Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, who is Barack Obama's running mate on the Democratic ticket.

She is three years Obama's junior, as well — and McCain has made much in recent weeks of Obama's relative lack of experience in foreign policy and defense matters.

In its formal announcement, the campaign pointed to her powers as head of the Alaska National Guard and the mother of a soldier herself as evidence that she "understands what it takes to lead our nation, "

McCain has had months to consider his choice, and has made it clear to reporters that one of his overriding goals was to avoid a situation like 1988, when then-Sen. Dan Quayle was thrown into a national campaign with little preparation.

A self-styled hockey mom and political reformer, Pallin was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, population 6,500, until she became governor.

Palin flew overnight to an airport in Ohio near Dayton, and even as she awaited her formal introduction, some aides said they had believed she was at home in Alaska.

She is a former mayor of Wasilla who became governor of her state in December, 2006 after ousting a governor of her own party in a primary and then dispatching a former governor in the general election.

More recently, she has come under the scrutiny of an investigation by the Republican-controlled legislature into the possibility that she ordered the dismissal of Alaska's public safety commissioner because he would not fire her former brother-in-law as a state trooper.

Palin has a long history of run-ins with the Alaska GOP hierarchy, giving her genuine maverick status and reformer credentials that could complement McCain's image.

Two years ago, she ousted the state's Republican incumbent governor, Frank Murkowski in the primary, despite having little money and little establishment backing.

She has also distanced herself from two senior Republican office-holders, Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don young. Both men are under federal corruption investigations.

She had earned stripes — and enmity — after Murkowski made her head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. From that post, she exposed ethical violations by the state GOP chairman, also a fellow commissioner.

Her husband, Todd Palin, is part Yup'ik Eskimo, and is a blue-collar North Slope oil worker who competes in the Iron Dog, a 1,900-mile snowmobile race. The couple lives in Wasilla. They have five children, the youngest of whom was born in April with Down syndrome.

David and Madam, ahn ahn the love is too strong


Y'all should just get married!!!

Did God create man? I thought man evolved. . .  

You know, I just noticed that the topic says "Favorite Popular Pastor"

Why is it their popularity that makes them tick with some people?

Africankel:
, Reasons: only greedy people fall for the antics of fraudsters.  Your greed and impatience might have pushed you into the hands of fake pastors.

Partially wrong.

1.If someone defrauds me of 1 million or 1 naira because of my ignorance, it does not make me a greedy person.

2. It is not only greedy people that fall for the antics of some so-called men of Gawd. Some christians are brain-washed from the start and others are just too simple.

Cheers bru

What is their nationality?

Why does the west still choose to see 'Africa' as one monolythic mass?

huxley:
Does it not say somewhere in the bible that @whatever you ask in my name, it shall be given to you"?

Yes, and it also says somewhere else that if we ask anything according to His will he hears us, and we know we have the petition that we have desired of Him.

So He qualifies 'anything'.

Thanks y'all

Looks like we may not have 600 by tomorrow. . .

Can't find it

Hi,

Saw this on facebook and had to share. . . its too damn funny!!! If you have any interest in politics nad in this saga you'll appreciate it even more.


THE AUDACITY OF CHOICE
by Tolu Ogunlesi

1. RELOCATE THE OBAMAS

Relocate Obama’s peasant family from Kenya to Lagos / Abuja / Calabar:

In the past Nigeria has had to endure the gross indignity of playing host to war criminals: Charles Taylor, Yormie Johnson, even Osama was said to have made Kano home at some point in the ‘90s. (Why do we always have to attract unsavory elements to our country?)

A while ago, CNN took its viewers to Kenya to see Obama’s peasant African family, complete with thatched huts and pregnant goats as backdrop. (Forget the fact that this would never have happened had Obama been Nigerian – we would have relocated the entire Obama clan, plus livestock to Asokoro or Banana Island the moment their son declared intention to run for President of the world).

This will finally be Nigeria's chance kill two birds with one stone: host a Hero’s family for once, as atonement for our traditional hospitality to fugitives, and two, revive our Big Brother role by taking the burden of caring for the Obama lineage from a less-endowed Kenya. (Country Social Responsibility?)


2. PROMO

"There is not one Nigerian who doesn't have a relative or friend in America. Our aim was to encourage those people to tell their family who have the right to vote in America to vote for Obama." – Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, D.G, Nigerian Stock Exchange

Fund a Promo that will see Nigerians winning mouth-watering prizes from the telecom companies by calling their based-in-America relatives to instruct them to vote for Obama. AFRICANS FOR OBAMA “CALL & WIN” PROMO.

1st Prize: A return ticket to the Democratic Convention, a front-row seat at the Presidential Inauguration in January 2009 and a mention in the Acknowledgements Page of Obama’s next book.

PS. For those of you who think MTN’s best days (in terms of out-of-this-world profits) are behind them, wait until Nigerians start 'harassing' their relatives in the US.


3. BALLOT PAPERS

Donate Made-in-Nigeria ballot cards for use in the US Elections. The conceited Americans say they don’t need our money. But surely they can do with our (already thumb-printed) ballot papers. After all, if Mike Tyson voted for the PDP in Ondo State last year, why can’t Bash Ali vote for Obama come November?


4. BAIL MONEY

Set it aside to serve as Bail Money (for Aunt Ndi) in case she’s (re-)arrested by the EFCC. But then, Nigeria’s big men and women always get off lightly when it comes to bail money prescriptions. What this means is that there’ll be more than enough money to bail the entire Africans for Obama organization in case they’re arrested en masse, as well as to pay lawyers to secure a renewable eternal order restraining the EFCC, ICPC, SSS and Police from harassing her; and the Press from mentioning her name in any of their articles.


5. BOOK EAGLE SQUARE

Invite Obama to come and draw pop concert-sized crowds in Nigeria on October 1: He did it in Germany; he can do it again at the Eagle Square. He will preach a message of hope, and lay hands on our dear President Yar’Adua and all the 36 State Governors to transfer some of his anointing to them. Michelle will commission beauty parlors in all the 36 state capitals of Nigeria and launch the Turai range of affordable hair care products (under the auspices of the Beautiful Life for Rural Women pet project).


6. DONATE IT

Donate it to the Electoral Law Reform Commission and INEC: They’ll need it for sensitization workshops and seminars, and for trips to America to learn how Democracy works and how free-and-fair elections are conducted.


7. REALITY TV

Create a TV Reality Show:

The Next Obama! Sell forms @ 5,000 each. Contestants will be drawn from all over Africa. The show will be shot in Kenya, Nigeria and America. Contestants will be judged on charisma, speaking skills, spiritual affiliations, blackberry-savvy, fashion sense and fund-raising skills. You’ve heard of Pop Idols, this will be a show for Pol Idols.


8. ‘MOCK ELECTIONS’

On November 4, conduct Mock US Presidential Elections in the headquarters of all 774 Local Governments of Nigeria: Obama vs. McCain: Nigeria Decides! Then annul the results without releasing them (it might be illegal to announce them, that’s why).


9. BOOK PROJECT

Use it to Publish the potential bestseller “HOW TO RAISE FUNDS FOR PROJECTS THAT ARE NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS: Tips from the Obasanjo and Obamafrica Projects.” [Alternative title: “HOW TO RAISE LEGAL FUNDS FOR ILLEGAL PROJECTS: The story of an Amazon’s Midas Touch”]


10. ENDOWMENT

Set up the Lamidi Adedibu Institute for Studies in Electoral Integrity

The biggest tribute to the name of the Garrison Commander will be to institute a foundation in his name. If there’s money leftover, a Leadership Prize might not be a bad idea: The Ariyibi Mugabe Prize for Amiability, Elongated Leadership and Political Sagacity.

There’s one last Choice (apologies, my 10 things always manage to become 11….)

11. RECRUIT

Hire one or two (more) chartered accountants, to speed up the counting of the money (Aunt Ndi claimed in an interview days ago that the ‘Africans for Obama’ accountant had not finished counting the money). Hire more bloody accountants I say!

Epilogue:

It just occurred to me that it’d be a good idea for Dr. Mrs. Okereke-Onyiuke to take ‘Africans for Obama’ public. Offer for Sale, one billion shares of Africans for Obama Nig. Ltd, at a price of X dollars per share. If it worked for Transcorp, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work for Africans4ObamaCorp.
