mazizi tonene: Abi na d bank go sue u

For negligence.

Nadia Bolz-Weber, a tattooed Lutheran minister, represents a new, muscular form of progressive Christianity. She is the founding pastor of House for all Sinners and Saints. Reverend Bolz-Weber, who has experimented with Wicca, is now the pastor of All Sinners and Saints - a Lutheran church in Denver, Colorado. While normal church events might end with the congregation blessing themselves on the way out, this church prefers to have a dance party featuring a chocolate fountain in the baptismal font.

The married mother-of-two has now written a spiritual memoir about her journey called Pastrix: The Cranky Faith of a Sinner and Saint.

The book is near the top of the New York Times bestseller list after it was released in September. And she doesn't hold back.

From a teenage rebellion against her fundamentalist Christianity, drug and alcohol addiction and doing stand-up in a comedy club in Denver, she describes herself as one of society's outsiders.

Aint-Nobody-Got-Time-for-That

Pipsland78: 6) Martha's Kitchen beside Book Sellers along Dugbe Jericho road. A plate is #1,500 flat.
10) Iya Dunni at Challenge

Now, I miss home, I miss Nigeria. Marth's Kitchen and Iya Dunni are superb. I am a living testimony.

It is not usually easy to accept the truth... I have to agree with EVERYTHING the OP said. Let's keep aside our pride that probably had been hurt by the post and think about our country. This article should challenge us to retrace our steps again.

According to SaharaReporters: "Two rapists were arrested by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Akure the capital of Ondo State. The two men are allegedly to have raped a 16 year old girl in Oluwatuyi quarters in Akure the NSDC told reporters.

The rapists Wale Fadahunsi, 28, and Banji Olaseinde, 25, known as 'Obanje Babalawo Sherry' attacked the helpless lady. The victim spoke about her experience and asked for the rapists to be sent to prison."\

This is the same video with a professional interpreter showing what the real interpretation ought to look like.

If I were you, I would talk to him about it. I'd let him understand that I love him but something puts me off him. Before that though, I'd bring up my own negative side upfront and let him know I also have something I dont like and I worked on it. Then I'd buy him Darbur toothpaste for his birthday, Christmas, and wedding anniversary gifts...

For me, anybody with potato face puts me off.

henrychubayo: I couldn't stop laughing wen I heard this story in TV station. The guy was actually paid a huge sum of money to interpret. The chairman of deaf association said that was the guy was interpreting has no meaning. He was just moving his hands. Corruption all over africa.

Some government officials must have known about this- that the guy is incompetent before contracting his services. I can bet that money changed hands just to allow this man to do the job. His godfathers must have got some share of the money, his incompetent self too.

One wonders who hired this guy. Considering the caliber of people at the event and the weight which Madiba's memorial carries, a well-known interpreter should have been hired. Oya, Nairalanders, wetin una talk?

Culed from: African Spotlight

What I remembered vividly was that when we were small, everyone believed hitting a duck dead (by car) was a bad omen. It causes accidents for the culprit and his family. Now I do not hold that belief though, but then, I was afraid of duck fowls.

This video is disturbing. I was really and am still ashamed of our men and people in general. Who on earth do those guys think they are?/ Are they the owners of life and death? Do they think because they captured a powerless woman, they should take advantage of her and do all sorts of barbaric acts on her? Jeez, we Nigerians (and indeed Africans) are backward. May those who took part in this nefarious, inhuman, degrading acts, suffer for it. May it never be well with them, their children, their children's children and their generations yet unborn

Obasgilbert: everything time i visit girls hostel, am always told ''wow, see as u fine like girl''..

But wen i snap, the result does not corroborate..

Maybe they are all trying not to hurt your feelings.

nairaarea: The FG does not care about Ogoni. I miss Yaradua. He may have remembered us.

It is a pity that a great nation as ours has missed its track long ago and we tend not to learn from history. Truth be told, the Ogonis and the Niger Deltas in general need to benefit more from the entity called Nigeria...

Ken Saro Wiwa was an activist that stood up for the Ogonis and the Niger Delta people. Decades after his death, the ideal for which he stood for, the injustice against the people of the Niger Delta still lingers on.

gidigbi: Thanks for the link @op. Oya nairalanders time to learn a liitle about our roots.

You are welcome. I hope we can all learn from history and retrace our steps. We can still be great again.

This video is an Actualize Production created by Jide Olanrewaju. It sheds light on the grey areas most of us tends to mix up together. Where did we come from? How did we get where we are? Where are we headed? This video explains all. I find this video quite relevant and a must watch to all Nigerians- both home and abroad.

This has happened to me in the past. The same Osun Defender copied my story and published it without giving me or the paper I was working for then (Oodua Times) credit. I wrote a story about an event in Ile-Ife. I discovered their(Osun Defender) ''crime'' years later after I traveled out of the country. I was checking out their website for old news when I saw my same old story (word for word) posted with another person's bye-line. I quickly wrote to Goke Butika (one of their staff and my former course-mate who used to teach me News Writing and Reporting and English for Mass Communication at the Polytechnic, Ibadan, Eruwa Campus)via Facebook to inform him of my observation. Till this day, I got no reaction from them and nothing was done about it. There is nothing wrong in using other people's news-stories insofar you cite the source(s) where you got them from. It is against the ethics of journalism to use other people's work with your name without giving proper credits.

I was shocked when I saw this video. Maybe because even as an adult, I have never ''smoked'' in my life or maybe it is a taboo for children in Nigeria to smoke. What are your thoughts? The child's father sees nothing wrong in what his baby does. In fact, he introduces the baby to smoking at age 18 months old

[quote author=Erelu_Y]@the bolden and coloured text: UK does not grant visas for international students to pursue distance learning courses. You must have been granted UK visas on the basis of an entirely different claim. I share your view concerning completing your course in Nigeria and then doing your PG studies abroad, especially if the individual concerned is already in her/his final year.

About your own situation, forget about the Nigerian Law School requirements. Many retired judges and SANs including Gani Fawehinmi took their LLBs from London University as external candidates. Listen, if you're in the UK, and you complete your LLB with 2.1 within the time allowed (normally 6 years), the LLB is a QLD, and you can proceed to undertake your BVC or LPC, depending on whether you wish to become of a Barrister or a Solicitor. Nigeria is a dead, rotten meat, don't let it's obnoxious rule truncate your legal calling.[/quote]I never claimed to have got a UK visa in my post. That I said I traveled abroad to further does not mean it must be UK. If I had been granted visa to go to the UK, I would not be an external student. Take a look at my profile, it says I am based in Bratislava, Slovakia. I got the opportunity to study abroad but was warned about it. When I arrived here, I discovered the legal system in Slovakia, like it is in many Eastern, Western, and Central Europe, was not English (Common Law). So, I had to go the distance learning way via University of London International Programmes. I sit my exams at the British Council here and sometimes travel to London for exams. I am taking the Qualifying Law Degree (ROUTE A) which qualifies me to go to Law school in London (for example) but not Nigeria. During the time of the Fawehinmis and co, the Council for Legal Education in Nigeria had a different song. There was once a time when it was normal to attend a university at some Community Grammar School in Nigeria and you'd graduate and get a degree of the university (let's say University of Ibadan). Now, it is not possible as the NUC out-rightly banned all such study centers. My plan is to finish my London Law degree and if possible proceed to Law school in London and get called into the Bar there. On the other hand, I may further to the LLM and even doctorate level and come back home to pursue academic positions at my alma mata- the Great Ife.

Bolushalom: Thanks for your contribution. This is btw Law and Communications and media studies. I really dnt mind any of the courses. I want to be a Lawyer but I really find Nigerian Law boring, the whole process, the court system, and I dnt look forward to court visits, I didnt find what I expected when I applied and it killed my enthusiaasm. As for communication and Media studies, I really dnt mind.

I will talk from experience. Before I got admission to OAU, I had studied Mass Comm up to the ND level. At OAU, I was in LLB 3 when the opportunity to travel abroad to further my education arrived. People advised me not to unless I finish my legal studies but I said NO. Of course I got admitted into Law at the University of London International Programmes. This year my mates are just finishing from Law school in Nigeria while I am still at school here. I found out that even when I graduate from London International Programmes Law, I cannot be a Barrister and Solicitor in Nigeria because the programme I am taking is considered distance learning by the Council for Legal Education in Nigeria. Any Law degree earned via distance learning or part time outside Nigeria (even within Nigeria) is not recognized for NYSC mobilization and Law School mobilization.

So, I would advise you to finish your law programme in Nigeria and then go abroad to continue your LLM. That is better. But, if you must travel abroad, then please do not attend a distance learning program- especially if it is Law. With Communication and Media Studies, I would like that course because I am currently eyeing teaching positions in one of our universities or colleges. Of course you may work in the media as a presenter or journalist. My one cent.

ighoosagie: Ok

So no be JEG? Ok, o we don hear you.

Hell was let loose on Thursday when the new PDP allegedly tried to address parliament yesterday. Blows were exchanged like they exchange ghana-must-go bags at the House of Representatives, in Abuja. According to BBC report, ''Nigerian politicians have come to blows, after a splinter group from the ruling party tried to address parliament.The dramatic scenes happened during Tuesday's session at the House of Representatives, in the capital Abuja.''
