This is going to be some sort of catch-22 really. Should a white woman be scared and hold her bag dearly when she sees a hooded black male in Harlem? Should i be scared if i see some uneasy white dude with polo sized bag in a school or theatre? That arab muslim muttering under his breath in a plane, should i be scared? etc.

The illustration above is intended for rumination only, nothing untoward is inferred. We can always come online and put on that charm of political correctness but it shouldn't be at the expense of established trends and some sort of critical thought especially when there are facts and statistics to suggest otherwise. To say that environment, physical looks, ethnicity, religion, age, gender etc offer no indication or play no role in studying human behaviour is totally dishonest.

It is advisable to err on the side of caution.

Jaybee you better take off your account details. You won't know what hit you. Spear phishing isn't a conspiracy theory.

tpiadotcom:
hm, not sure if I read that particular book.

ok.

tpiadotcom:
can you give a synopsis, its not ringing a bell.

I can't really remember much cos this was back in '96 but that page was the story of a kid/dude who was about to have sex with some older woman. The book generally is spiced with innuendo.

I remember we had "Sacrifice" by Kole Omotosho as a literature text in Pry. 6. If i do not remember anything else, i will not forget the "two inch penîs" line. We didn't use the text for long cos the teacher, a Rev. Sister, made sure of that. Prof. Kole was explicit in that book.

I never said Wike was the minister during the first batch, I said "held sway" we all know he was more powerful than the Hajiya, no thanks to his rapport with Madam Patience.
I also never mentioned the stats for the first two batches, I only mentioned the last which the Igbos dominated, and which you yourself confirm. Point is no justification could be given why for three consecutive batches not 1% northerners are deemed fit to qualify by using a shoddy process of selection.

Your ignorance is astounding - even more so not only because its voluntary but because you go to such great length to preserve it. Is the PRESSID scheme by quota system? If as you say that there hasn't been up to 1% of northerners who have been beneficiaries and you blame it on a region or an individual then it clearly means you have no idea what the pressid scheme is and this betrays your lack of any sort of critical thought.

There is an astounding gap between western technologies and whatever we have here. "Internet of things", "smart grid", "smart cities" etc are not very common concepts here but these are things my cousin who is a beneficiary of this scheme is grateful to be involved in first hand. I had to sign up to MIT to try to be abreast in my field of computer & electronics engineering.Imagine the immense value these cutting edge advances in science & engineering can impact in the life of every child with a dream.

The purpose of life is a life with a purpose and competitive education is the guiding light.

Well, i am right. Charlie Sheen admits to it.

I hope brothers learn and imbibe the common sense to wrap their dick up.

BBC has not and does not possess the authority to confirm if this complex hypothesis has been proved. BBC can only report, only the Clay institute has that authority.

The Clay website has not reported thus. This BBC article does not confirm anything but presents it as Dr. Enoch's claim and the article goes ahead to conclude that "If it is confirmed that he is the first person to provide a solution, Dr. Enoch could scoop a million dollar prize".

To be awarded this prize, your proof must be published in internationally recognised peer reviewed journals and it must also have general acceptance in the mathematics community two years after, the last part of which has not been satisfied by Dr. Enoch.

Please be guided accordingly.

Dude, you serious? You want to marry someone you feel nothing for? At least, are you guys compatible? If you don't feel anything for this woman now, it might get worse in marriage. There is nothing worse than resentment between two people in contact. Both of you will be greatly hurt, mentally and physically.

Almost everybody has had unrequited love. We love people that hurt us, hurt people that love us. Not every dude is gonna have the chance to kiss the lips of the prettiest girl in town. It is an immutable existentiality of life.

Moment of clarity:

"This may be a bit harsh but I must speak of it. George W Bush did a shock and AWE for weapons of mass destruction which we know today was a lie. We know who instigated 9/11. Millions were killed on a false flag. Hollande along with others including the US and Nato went and wiped out Libya, Because of false claims,People died, families were destroyed and off to Syria and all the other countries, Millions went to camps to flee the destruction over a pipeline and economic warfare.

Nothing was said while your main street media fed you the daily BS and
propaganda and still does every second of every minute. How does it feel to be the recipient of your governments illegal and corrupt actions against other
sovereign nations. You do not like it. The claims are over 100 dead. I say to the countries you have annihilated, is that all? You have done this to them in the killing fields of millions, not a comment about the Holocaust. It is the people that create war or those that you put in charge to represent you? That is where you need to look for the root cause of all of this evil. What on earth did everyone expect when you go and destroy people and their families,
you have taken everything from them to exist to sustain life. Why, OIL? Central Banks? Stealing land for expansion? Why. Was it the agenda of the people of any country or the governments?

What would happen if someone in the Middle east would fly over a European
country and blow it to hell and back? Would you retaliate, ahhh you say you
have an army, Well obviously theirs is not advanced as yours for if it was the other way around Paris would look
like Syria.

The next time you hear collateral damage, think of this event today"

This is just the world learning a lesson repeated through history that occupation is not victory.

The system you created has raised monsters, now you scared cos it's coming back to haunt ya?

HappinexEdixon:
I won't even b surprise if is Charlie Sheen, his Love 4 women n drink is wat took him out of d home series "Two n A Half MEn".

Yeah, his self indulgently carefree life is actually well documented. Here is a comment i saw about his situation:

I think its the Sheen man. Seeing
lots of hits on Charlie being HIV
positive and this Radar article
practically says its him without
saying it outright. Injecting drugs
and openly buying hookers? That's
gotta be the Sheen.
Apparently several pr0n star exes
are starting to say he is or was
recklessly spreading the disease.
Money is on Charlie and I bet he
announces it before New Year.
"However, the star — known for a
playboy lifestyle filled with one-night
stands and s3x-for-hire partners —
has been “devastated” over his
plight since doctors diagnosed the
condition, according to a friend.
Radar has learned multiple friends
want the star to publicly admit the
problem and face reality with
courage and determination.
It is not known exactly how the
actor contracted the virus, but the
star has previously admitted to
engaging in tattooing, injecting
drugs and having s3x with
prostitutes — all activities that
increase the risk of contracting the
virus.
The star thought he was
“indestructible” and took few
precautions to protect himself
against AIDS — even though he was
indulging in high-risk s3x practices,
sources said.
“He led a dangerous lifestyle,” said
one pal. “He’s learned this the
hardest possible way.”
Struggling with the weight of the
shocking news, the entertainer was
hurled into a deep despair last year,
racked by stress and pain
a.ssociated with the deadly
condition, Radar has learned.
In lonely desperation, he went into
seclusion at his home — rarely going
out in public and seeing only family
and friends inside the sanctuary of
his mansion.
He would also party night and day
in a bid “to numb” the pain.
“His worst fear is that he will be
remembered not as a great actor
but as someone who contracted the
disease,” explained another source.
“He has been tortured by the
thought that his acting genius will
be forgotten.
“He was teary-eyed as he told
friends that he had it, but he felt
that a public admission would
destroy him and his fans.”
Radar first learned about the star’s
desperate battle with the disease in
2014. At the time, reps for the actor
flatly denied it.
But in recent months the star’s
horrifying plight has become an
“open secret” again in top Hollywood
ranks, with multiple sources coming
forward to tell how he’d confided in
them.
Radar also obtained a videotape in
which one of the actor’s former
partners revealed he had exposed
her to the deadly virus.
Alarmingly though, some sources
said he has continued to be
promiscuous.
“It could well be a public health
hazard,” said a source.
It was only after corroborating the
accounts of multiple sources that
Radar decided to publish this
exposé. It also follows the brave
disclosure from Who’s the Boss?
alum Danny Pintauro, who revealed
he is HIV-positive after mixing s3x
and crystal meth.
Of the latest HIV victim, a show
business source told Radar: “Many of
this actor’s friends and a.ssociates
have been saying for weeks that he
has HIV.
Nevertheless, the star and his legal
team kept a firm grip of secrecy on
his problems, even as rumors of his
status swept Tinseltown.
According to one source, the
megastar has spent an elaborate
fortune to secure the silence of his
s3xual partners — and others — who
later discovered his HIV status.
Some of those women believed he’d
played “Russian roulette” with their
lives, sources said.
At the same time, the star had
vowed to stop sowing wild oats and
settle down with his then-romantic
interest.
But that relationship did not last —
and neither the split nor the health
predicament has deterred the tragic
star from continuing romantic
rendezvous."

Word on the net says it's Charlie Sheen. He is said to have had it since last year. He injects hard drugs and has very risky sex practices.

The media can't publish who it is unless he does. Unauthorised disclosure of medical history is a serious offence.

I have always been receptive to Jehovah Witnesses. They are one denomination i can always sense the sincerity of purpose and unalloyed zeal to preach their faith. They are more about reaching souls than the growth rate of their church. And to me, they have the best thought-provoking publications, whether the topic is on Molecular Biology, Quantum Physics or Epistemology.

Their simplicity, yet delicateness, chides me of my own failings and strengthens my resolve to bridle my excesses. They are always welcome to my door.

I'll spend my friday night listening to this brother kick knowledge.

The truth is that every device has vulnerability. Anything designed can be broken. A team of hackers just won $1million for cracking Apple's latest iOS, an exploit that enables remote and full hijack of devices. Nothing is safe.

I have been using my S4 for close to 2yrs now and that phone has served me well despite my misuse. I can use it forever.

Samsung phones are rugged and compact, of course this comes at a price.

Terry, treat money like poosie, if you grind hard, it must come.
Double entendre.

Subterfuge warfare.

Who is the king of subterfuge warfare in the Middle East? They might have some of you brothers fooled but we understand.

Chess not Checkers.

I sincerely do not know how they came about that name cos the price is not fixed, neither is the dividends.

This is from the factsheet "Past performance is not a guide to the future. The price of investments and the income
from them may fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the full amount invested"

I think you can put your money on FBN MMF and go to sleep...you may even get better than that 12%.

Thank you brother. I'll look into the FBN MMF.

Sweetlemon:
Like seriously! The guy is beginning to make me feel he has mental issues. How can he be arguing with the indegenes ourselves about our own heritage

Sis, you are right. The AkwaCross people are very passionate about their language and culture.

OP, wikipedia is not accepted in scholarship citations for obvious reasons. The articles you quoted from there can't be confirmed to be without bias.

fratermathy:
Thank you sir for your voice of reason. I stand corrected.

I said Ibibio is proto mainly because of the fact that all members of the cluster follow Ibibio's linguistic rules in syntactic and morphological analysis and paradigms.

This statement affirms Ibibio language as the progenitor which actually goes against recorded evidence. Efik was one of the earliest Nigerian languages,with the original orthography devised in 1812, by King Eyo Nsa Honesty. In 1860, it was one of the first three Nigerian languages to be codified with its own orthography and grammar.

Give it a rest. It's almost a catch-22.

I believe we all have the capacity to criticise with dialectic reason.

OP, the history of discord between the Efik and Ibibio language is very contentious. Numerous articles have been written on both sides claiming progenitor but we might never know.

And please desist from calling Ibibio a proto in scholarship because Efik was actually the first Nigerian language to have the translation of the bible and the Efik language is the earliest standard language of scholarship of the AkwaCross people.

Xenophobia is as old as man on this earth. From time immemorial, human beings, and even animals have always shown fear, distrust and open hostility to strangers, who do not belong to their milieu. But the essential characteristic of a civilised man, as opposed to a savage, is to learn to accommodate the other person's strangeness.

I had my secondary education at FGC Ikot Ekpene and back then, i noticed some sort of mutual instinctive distrust between annangs & ibibios. It would be nice if people desist from spouting innate xenophobic tendencies that fuel ethnicism.

There will never be peace in a country where there is no mutual acceptance of peaceful cohabitation.

Please understand that technically, this has nothing to do with your BVN. This is a classic case of social engineering. Your internet login details had already been compromised and all they needed was your OTP to effect transfer from your account. And that they did by tricking you into revealing your OTP.
