CrimeRe: Woman Kills Her Ex-Lover’s Baby In Umuahia After She Had Abortions For Him by AreaFada2:
xendra:
I know NL misogynists will swarm this thread and come after women like zombies going after flesh

but if a man did dsame their asses won't say anything about him
Abeg it's not all about sexism.

There is something called contraception. You can blame the guy for not using condom and you will be right
But who suffers the consequences of unwanted pregnancy most? The woman. Therefore adults must protect themselves from what overwhelmingly will affect them. Why did she keep doing abortions not minding the risk to her life?
A woman brought three pregnancies from outside and pushed them on a relative (her husband) of mine. He only found out after DNA tests to take the kids abroad. He died suddenly soon after. He or we didn't kill the woman or her kids.
In fact she's fighting for a share of his considerable wealth.

I have mentioned it here on NL before.
Both genders see capable of disgusting behaviours.

PoliticsRe: Yahaya Bello Is 44, His Mother Dies At 101 — Did She Have Him At 57? by AreaFada2:
helinues:
It is either Bello is using football age or his mum's age incorrect
Now let's talk biology.
In the past when we didn't eat too much fatty food and children walked long distances to farm, rivers and did hard work, girls' body fat wasn't high enough to make enough oestrogens untill about age 15 to 17.
That meant their first period (menarche) didn't start untill that age range above.

Girls have a fixed number of eggs from birth. These eggs begin to be released when period starts. So all things being equal, the later your period starts, the longer or later you will reach menopause. Of course genetic and other factors may play a role too.

Nowadays, girls can start period at age 9 to 12. And still reach menopause from 40 plus to 50 plus. Remember in those days most women stopped having kids only when menopause started.

Biologically it's possible. Though it does not prove that either the son or the late mother are actually their age.

PoliticsRe: Flashback : How Chief Awolowo Dethroned The Alaafin Of Oyo, Oba Adeyemi by AreaFada2:
googi:
You just revealed yourself. No point arguing with you.

Awo remains the best that ever happened to Nigeria for most of us from the former Western Region that Included some parts of South-south.
Awo was unashamedly tribalist. He didn't even pretend. In Southern Nigeria he sought to empower the largely Yoruboid Itsekiri. Raising Olu of Itsekiri to be Olu of Warri. Remember what is now Delta state was called Warri province of Western region. It caused a crisis as Urhobo, Isoko and Izon, Asaba, Ika, Ukwuani and others protested.

It lead to the province being renamed Delta Province. To remove the impression that the Olu ruled over the whole province.

Awo made Western Region crisis ridden. Whether fighting SLA, Olowo of Owo, Alaafin of Oyo or anyone perceived to support NCNC or SLA.
You are right. HE CARED ONLY ABOUT YORUBA. Not like the dreamer Zik who believed in one NIGERIA.

Awo never believed Nigeria has any future. He called it a mere geographical expression. He loathed the conservative North. They were not progressive enough in his view. He wanted the provision for referendum to self determination in our Constitution. Zik naively opposed it vehemently and won.

Awo joining Gowon's govt was pure opportunism. A chance to use Yoruba to flood civil service and take control of posts Igbo were forced to leave. The advantage Yoruba has kept till now. He had the best education policy. Which even some non westerrn region indigenes benefited from if they were living in the region.

Awo was the most realistic politician in the South. He realised very early that only tribe matters.
PoliticsRe: Kano APC Tells El Rufai To Create A New Emirate For Sanusi In Kaduna by AreaFada2: 11:25am On Mar 17, 2020
omenka:
Here's my take on this whole issue. It is totally confusing what these guys are scheming, that is, if they indeed have an end game to the whole drama.

I feel regardless of the rift that might exist between Ganduje and Sanusi, he couldn't take such a far reaching and decisive action against the Emir without getting the nod of Aso Rock. The seat of the Emir is too important to the superstructure of the Northen Oligarchy. Its reach transcends Kano as a state hence cannot be tampered with unilaterally by the state governor - notwithstanding what Abubakar Rimi said in that video.

That said, the confusing part is the role being played by El Rufai. I mean, it is totally confusing! Recall, if one were to mention a governor as Buhari's closest confidant, that would be Rufai. One would assume anyone condemned by Buhari would be damaged goods to Rufai and he wouldn't touch such a person with a hundred foot pole, let alone hug and hobnob with them!.

Rufai can't deliberately choose to piss on and keep pissing on the president's shoes. And if the president has no problem with him coming to the aid of Sanusi, then why would he give the nod for Sanusi to be dismembered in the first place!!??

It therefore means there is a part of this scheme (IF IT IS A SCHEME) which we have no idea about.

My thoughts...
Just remember one thing. Fulani interest trumps everything. Everything else is negotiable.
PoliticsRe: In Benin, The Governor Kneels To Greet The King, But Not So In Other Kingdoms.. by AreaFada2:
Sewgon79:
If you don't know, maybe you should go and investigate. Do you know that any Crown Prince of Benin Kingdom need to come to Ìfẹ́ for Spiritual seclusion, before he can be crown King. Have you asked yourself why.

In history of hierarchy, the lower goes to higher for permission before being crown not other way around.
Oba of Benin does no seclusion in Ife. All the stations on the way to coronation are known. I can explain all to you if you wish to know.

Though done secretly at midnight, even the coronation station is known. Even if not seen by many. I have relatives who are either town chiefs, palace chiefs, priestly chief involved at virtually every stage of coronation.

Even one of the 6 original Elders of Benin (colloquially called kingmakers present) at coronation. They are actually king crowners. But in reality, since about 580 years nobody puts the crown on Oba's head. He does it himself in their presence.
Abeg ask people who know.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
But Gabriel Igbenedion had serious fight with the late Oba of Benin. Igbenedion even took the Oba to court. Anyways I respect the Oba of Benin and Alaafin of Oyo. Those Kings na Deities.
The Oba was given the option to reply the court in writing or send a representative. But he decided to appear in person. A huge crowd walked with the Oba to the court.

It wasn't even the aim of Igbinedion to make Oba Erediauwa appear in court.

Remember Oba Erediauwa was educated at Cambridge (Law degree) and previously a consummate permanent secretary at Gowon's Cabinet office. Effectively head of the technocratic machinery of the military government back then. He did things thoroughly or not do at all.

It was out of great reverence to his father Oba Akenzua that he didn't strip Igbinedion of his Esama title. Igbinedion was made Esama by Oba Akenzua.
Just putting it in perspective.

The only obstacle in front of Tinubu presidency is Buhari. An indifferent Buhari to Apc party politics will easily pave the way to Tinubu president.
So in Nigerian politics you still do not know what Kaduna Mafia is? How and why that phrase was coined? Then you understand Nigerian politics far less than you think. grin grin

So you expect Mafia like Chicago Mafia of the 1930s prohibition era? Hahahaha!

What do you think happened immediately after Abacha died? Or when Yar'Adua died?
Something even a few radical Northern elements have long confirmed and analyzed? Kai!

There are for example cults that exist but I'mexactly what Kaduna Mafia likes.

Our people are too literal I know. Lazy to digest and process info. So do not quote that I said Kaduna Mafia is a cult.

Agboriotejoye:
I personally think the north have all their options open. They're not ruling out anything. But Tinubu and Osinbajo are two individuals they are not comfortable with for different reasons. Tinubu for being too strong and Osinbajo for being an appendage of Tinubu. Bottom line is anything Tinubu is a hard sell to them. I suspect they'll even prefer an Amaechi
I am not a fan of Tinubu. But he's politically better than most others. Just as centred like the others. But I can see him appointing talented people into his government. Like he did in Lagos. If he will give them a free-hand to use their talent is another question. Ambode saga remains fresh. I think we need someone who is actually hungry for the job. If it will make any difference will remain to be seen. Buhari's hunger was different. An ego trip after being painfully kicked out before. He was there before and did nothing tangible in 20 months. Not even a road map to democracy. He thoroughly burnt his political capital.

Like most parties experience worldwide after a long time in office, people will want change. Even if no idea what change is coming. Like America chose Bush Junior over Al Gore, whose VP period saw Clinton do many good things, an inch away from securing Middle East peace treaty, great respect for American leadership in the world, a decent economy, etc. But familiarity breeds contempt.

Sure, Tinubu felt the pulse of the Nation that they could be sold change after 16 years of PDP. With a leader like GEJ. Someone likely to allow free elections. So they brought Buhari to get Northern votes. Not because anything progressive in him or any competence. Hence they touted integrity. My grandmother has massive integrity. But it doesn't mean she can manage a country like Nigeria without its complexities.

As for Osinbajo. he has a good chance of securing the ticket. I pray God keeps him safe till then. The North won't allow a Northern Christian VP. The North would also be wary of Tinubu plus a Northern Muslim VP. Not to send the wrong message to the South.

Amaechi won't fly in the SW or even SS. SE unlikely too. Against a PDP Northern candidate, the North would back the Northerner to avoid 8 years of Far South rule. The North think long term politically. A pliable Southern Christian president and a meddlesome, manipulative and ambitious Northern Muslim VP will be chosen to checkmate him. In office but not in power/control of government.

Every man and his dog knows the guy wants to be president. But MKO's experience should caution everyone though. Kaduna Mafia are just as spiteful and poisonous as they were back then.

I doubt the current group of overambitious cabal will allow a calculating and over-ambitious Southerner become president so soon.

As far as they are concerned Yar'Dua's presidency has still not been completed. That is their thinking.
Unless they can get a more malleable Southerner to agree to a single term.

Art, Graphics & VideoRe: 11 Amazing High Speed Photography by AreaFada2: 4:38pm On Mar 15, 2020
VillageBoi:
@ Feraz

Capturing bolts of lightning is pretty simple if you follow the 'right' procedure. Can I assume you were using a DSLR? Don't go into video mode, rather switch back to stills mode.

Here are the basic tricks -

Observe the storm you want to shoot... position yourself so it is not coming towards you or away from you but rather across from left to right or right to left - just like something panning across your camera.

Use a TRIPOD, you will never get this handheld. It pretty impossible that you will ever get the FIRST flash... observe lightning and you will notice that almost every big flash is followed very quickly by a number of smaller flashes.

Your distance from the storm is also very important. For safety you want to be probably 10-20km away from the storm... you are using metal items outside (preferably under some building cover just in case of a downpour of rain... or indoors from an open window that doesn't show in the frame. When you see a flash - count how long it takes before you hear the THUNDER. 30 seconds and above is a good distance.

Ok you are ready to shoot... you want a wide-angle lens - the stock 18-55 or 18-135 or whatever is a good lens for this. Set you focus to infinity or focus on something in the area where the lightning bolts are happening then switch your lens to manual so it doesn't keep hunting for focus. It will also be best if you have a shutter release cable of a remote control - this prevents camera shake from touching the camera.
Use an aperture of around 5.6 for starters and a low iso of 100.
Set your camera to BULB mode... not manual, not aperture priority and not shutter priority!
When you see the first flash press the button until a few more flashes have fired across the frame. You can have your shutter open anywhere from 30secs to 2 mins at a time. Then check the back of your lcd. If it's too dark then try a wider aperture or higher iso or longer exposure time and also do the opposite if they are too bright. Trial and error until you get it right. This are the rules for taking these shots at night.

If the storm is during the daytime then use these different rules -
Put your camera in SHUTTER PRIORITY mode.
Select a shutter speed of 1/15 to 1/4 of a second.
A low iso of 100 or 200 and then take some test shots to see the image is properly exposed.
Have a polarising filter or ND filter that will reduce the exposure and help slow down the shutter speed.
Then use the same rules as - when you see the first flash then you press the button.
Got to be honest day time ligning capture is harder than night time and can be a bit of hit and miss.

Hopefully this helps you figure things out.
Oh and its the opposite of high-speed photography - this is very slow speed photography.
Nice.
