RomanceRe: Your Lover Slaps You During an Argument by Allenpowered(m): 7:36am On May 24, 2005
Damn!Well being the gentleman i presume i am tongue, I'll probably just walk away...abegee, I no be agbero to dey fight woman. But I think that would probably end the relationship, who knows, the next time it could be a pestle on my head grin. I don't think there is anything I'll do or say to warrant a slap...that is abuse!

LiteratureRe: What do you think of Chinua Achebe? Wole Soyinka? by Allenpowered(m): 7:25am On May 24, 2005
It is not really fair to compare Soyinka and Achebe. But looking at the kind of awards they have received and the way they are perceived in local and international limelight, one has no option than to say Soyinka is more well known([I]please note I did not say greater[/I])

Soyinka has been a vocal critic of bad governments, he is vociferous in any cause he supports,he is a nobel laureate, he has courted controversies in his prime with the issue of Pyrates, his pro-Biafra stance and holding up a radio station.Many motorists would remember him for his Road Safety campaigns, he likes making an impression, his style of writing is wel to say the least a complex (I had a hard time following [I]The Interpreters[/I]...he is classy-let's give him that

Achebe on the other hand is quieter, he makes contributions to National issues when necessary (the recent being the rejection of a national merit award), he is the typical still water that runs deep. He has the ability to connect with his audience with his simple style of writing and plots ... some feel he should have been a nobel laureate too, which I think I agree with.

As you can see greatness is perhaps depends on a person's point of view.

kodewriter was trying to express his inner self, in seeking answers maybe that would heal his inner conflicts.

TravelRe: Flooding in Victoria Island. How long will it remain? by Allenpowered(m): 6:12pm On May 23, 2005
Hey monsieur chawkee, i don't think this is the right place to post this topic tongue

the problem of flooding in VI would persist as long there is nothing done to the drainage system. A better drainage system which can handle the volume of water is what is needed.Indiscriminate blockage of drainages should also be avoided.
Music/RadioRe: 2pac, B.I.G. Who made a greater impact in the hip-hop world? by Allenpowered(m): 5:42pm On May 23, 2005
Man don't disappoint me.What kind of question is that...Tupac is the man for all times...thuglife!!!

How many cds has B.I.G after his death?

Tupac was a revolutionary, the best-in-class...it would be another age to have another rapper like him.

After his  death, an era in rap music was closed!
Music/RadioRe: Incorporating Music Into the Nigerian Education System by Allenpowered(m): 5:40pm On May 23, 2005
Well, I think is a great idea. If music can be encouraged as part of our education curricula, maybe we'll discover a lot of Felas, Lagbaja et cetera in time. Then their energies can be channelled in the right direction.

Christianity EtcRe: Pastor T. B. Joshua: The Man in the Synagogue by Allenpowered(m): 3:59pm On May 23, 2005
from mapet:
As far as I'm concerned T.B Joshua is NOT a man of God.
I believe in judge not so ye shall not be judged...

I'm not saying he is a man of God. And everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. But can I just pass sweeping judgement on any pastor/prophet and declare them not God's own because according to my discernment they do not meet my set standards? huh rolleyes

Cutie,
If you choose to well, you can buy a gift that speaks the reality of your desire. May be flower or a T- shirt inscribed "Love you" I am sure the guy will get it right.
Greatpeter, don't you feel that is the easiest way to court disdain.Naija men are not known to be too great a fan of diplomacy. I feel the guy in question should be studied before a move is made. Not everyone is like you or me tongue

I'm still waiting for the pretty chic who will give me clue...I'll dive for it

PS:
i haven't seen the ever vocal Ra's opinion in this, someone should make her see this topic

Christianity EtcTo Tithe or Not to Tithe? by Allenpowered(op): 12:35pm On May 23, 2005
I was in church yesterday and you've already guessed right, the issue was tithing.This topic relates mainly to Christian faithfuls.The preacher continued this long dissertation on tithing.He rankled me I must say.

He quoted extensively from the Old testament, Malachi 3 vs 10.

The grouse I have with tithing is there is no where it is preached by Jesus or any of the apostles...it is all in the old testament, why the emphasis by preachers on it.If they want to follow the Old testament, let them do and if it is the New Testament let them follow it.

I believe that one should give what one wants to give...it may be more than the tithe for all I care, but one should not be compelled to pay tithes.
