fyneboi79: You don't demand respect from a woman whether older or younger.....You earn Į̸̸̨ƭ. So Į̸̸̨ƭ doesent matter if you marry ur age mate or Ɣ☺ΰя junior,if you don't act appropriately,then you won't get d much desired respect. What's Į̸̸̨ƭ with some guys and respect Have some confidence man!! Only confident guys can date and marry an older lady. So true @bolded. If anyone feels getting married to a girl in her early 20-ies is the key to respect, wait until you hear from some who have such experience. When their wives start running crying to mummy over any "small" thing, then they would see that age shouldn't have been their primary factor in deciding who would make a good wife. |

ilibrarian: Don't make that mistake. My reasons; - She is more experienced than you are in every area - She will look like your mother after giving birth. I know many ladies in their early 20-ies that look like 50 after their first child. If anyone has preference for ladies they are old enough to father, it is simply their preference and not a rule they should quote as fact. If you marry a 22 year old girl, she may end up looking older than your mother after giving birth if you fail to take very good care of her. |

breadplanet: 1. Buy powdered milk and powdered yogurt culture (Yogurmet) its N250 per satchet. 2. Boil water and sterilize your measuring cup, spoons, bowl, sieve and pot. 3. Measure out 2cups powdered milk and mix in 4 cups water. 4. Put milk on fire and bring ALMOST to a boil. 5. Remove from heat and allow to cool until warm (when u can hold a finger in d milk for some seconds without getting burnt) 6. Use sm of d warm milk to mix a satchet of Yogurmet then introduce to the rest of d milk and mix properly. 7. Pour the milk through a sieve into the bowl you'll use to incubate and cover. Thank you very much, breadplanet! Any idea where I can get Yogourmet in Lagos, please? |

Kairoseki77: Before anyone says he doesn't use Nigerian Hospitals, I just want to point out that he was in a Lagos Hospital all this time. Were you expecting that he would be flown abroad immediately the crash happens? For many of our politicians, Nigerian hospitals are for First Aid treatment. For them "proper treatment" can only be gotten abroad, and of course, with looted funds. I wish him speedy recovery! |
Politics › Do You Know Who I Am? by artade(op): 7:12am On Oct 05, 2013 |
The problem starts with these words, ‘do you know who I am?’ thinking you are somebody, for all the wrong reasons.
Yesterday, I was engaging with a Nigerian lawmaker and at some point in the conversation, he catechized me: Do you know who I am?
Allow me to first introduce myself. March 18th, 2013, the day of the dastardly bus stop bombing at Sabo, in Kano and the birthday of ENDS, is the day I became who I am. I said, NEVER again…will I sit and not invest all I have to fight the terrorists and the cabal behind the situation making life unbearable and precipitating all forms of terror in Nigeria. I felt like I was in that bus. Perhaps I was in a sense…a part of me was; – the vacillating part. We will never forget March 18th!
So to your question; yes, I do actually know who you are. You are nobody. In-fact, worse still, you are worse than nobody; you are a problem, my problem, the problem of my people. A walking, talking indissoluble problem; like a bad movie that refuses to have a ‘The End’.
Am I expected to respect you for your corruption? I’ll tell you what it is. You are not corrupt. Corrupt is a fancy word the colonialist invented to decorate your worthlessness. You, Sir, are a thief! It’s just an elevated level of the same stealing…shop-lifting. You claim you bought 100,000 uniforms for the soldiers, and leave them to dress in their old uniforms, with broken morale, so you can steal the money for the lot. You claim you bought new equipment, while you only refurbished the old one and stole the money. With your family and friends, you divide up my country. You take kick-fronts. You cut up Nigeria and Trans.fer it to the Corp. You starve and incarcerate the poor and feed and free the rich. You steal my money… how then will I respect you, you thief. Your hands are in my pocket, taking my Kobo’s and you ask if I know who you are.
Who are you, Mr. Lawmaker? How about you tell me who you are, and what laws you have made that have benefited me, that I may regard and respect you. Tell me what I need to be proud of, dear honorable, Mr. Excellency. Prove to yourself that you know what and how to develop our nation. Show me the qualifications you have that justify your appointment? Dishonesty is no degree, common, get serious. I may be a cleaner, a teacher, a gardener, a tailor, or I don’t even have a job—being one of the millions of unemployed Nigerians, thanks to you—but I am way better than you. When I do work, I am qualified for my job, and I do my work with due diligence. Can you say the same? How do you earn your wages and why are you the highest paid for it in the world, when in a depressing inverse relationship, you are the worst at it?
There is no denying, a lot of what we become has to do with how we were raised. My dad was a diplomat in the Buhari-Idiagbon administration. When the brutal IBB regime sacked them, he walked too. Unprepared for retirement, we drank garri and ate maggi-cube meat. But that empty belly and hardship taught me- loyalty, dignity and honesty. Three words you may never understand. I am tempted to ask- what did you learn from your dad, Mr. Who-I-Am? Did he happen to tell you that God is the Only ‘I Am’?
Depleted: You lack an ounce of dignity.
Worthless: You lack morals.
Hollow: You lack substance.
Shallow: You lack vision.
I am not saying this to console myself. I may not have but a few bills in my account, but trust me, I am heartily content. I am rich! A kind of richness you will never, ever enjoy. Every penny you have stolen weighs you down. This makes you need to steal more, and more. But all the money of the poor will leave you feeling only emptier. Every penny I have I earned decently—I did not steal. And my pockets are empty because I gave what I did not need to eat today in charity. Can you say the same?
I know who you are. You are the robber that stole my money. You are the murderer that led to the death of my friends and family; the termite that destroys our shelter; the rodent that steals our grain; the weevil in the beans. You are the cricket—the generators you condemn us to—that disturb our sleep at night and raise our blood pressure. You are the dead battery; the squeaky sound that tells me my door hinge needs grease. The gum underneath my shoe. You are what I take Panadol for.
You steal my money then use it to buy my loyalty, my votes. Not because I am stupid, no, but rather because I am hungry, that is why I took the money from you in the past. It was my money; I only wanted and needed it back. And I voted for you as agreed, again, not because I was stupid, no, but because I am a man of my word. I took back my money with a promise to vote you in, and a trust that though you are a villain, you said you will do those things, and I gave you my trust.
Now that I have explained myself, can you do the same? Pray, tell, how do you sleep at night? Are you not afraid of death? Or like the Pharaohs of Egypt, you plan to be buried with the loot to pay your way through the afterlife? Take a hint. The gold was found in their tombs with their rotting bodies, by men and not the custodians of the gates. It bought them nothing in easing their pain in hell.
I know who you are. Your method is to convert men into monsters. You surround yourself with them, and when your conscience is pricked by a worthy man, you figure out how to corrupt him, to make him like you. You bribe as much of the polity as you can, to justify your ephemeral conscience that all men are bad. No one is like you. Bribed, corrupted, diminished, we are still not you. You are alone. You are the rot, the bedbug, the leech that sucks the blood and spreads sickness. I have no respect for you. We have no respect for you.
Who are you? What do you see in the mirror when you dress-up; ready to go out again to cut up the property of the people you are servant to? How do you feel as a father who steals from the property of all the friends of his children? How do you feel as a mother, to whose credit, many mothers cry every night as their families go to bed hungry? ‘Nigeria: The worst nation to be born!’ Thanks.
Do you not see the development in America? In Brazil? In Malaysia? Even in the dictatorial Arab kingdoms like Qatar, Kuwait, UAE? And knowing that it is who you are that makes Nigeria stay so retarded? Do you know there are superb subways in Hugo Chavez’ Venezuela? Do you know there is constant running water and electricity in the patchy camps of Palestine? That after 2 years of war, Assad still provides electricity to Damascus? The wise prophet is reported to have said: The greatest Jihad is a word of truth to a tyrant leader. There, you got it.
You are the prion that has detoured and converted all of Nigeria’s brightest minds, even our Nobel laureate into full time activists and our great students into kidnappers, thugs and terrorists. You sleep feeling safe in your tall fences, and with your armed guards, knowing that the people who pay you to serve them are dying as you sleep, due to your uselessness, endangered by your mismanagement, exposed by your vandalism, aged by your treachery.
What can you do to me? Lock me in jail? I live in jail. You have made my country a prison. Kill me? I am dead already. Shame has killed me. I travel abroad and I am insulted. People ask me what’s wrong with my country. I tuck my head in shame. They think there is something wrong with the black race because of you, Mr. Legislooter. I know there are so many more Nigerians, honest, decent, intelligent, willing and able to make the flowers bloom, and re-establish this great nation into a world leader. A nation that not only takes care of its own, but fulfills its destiny, addressing problems of blacks and non blacks worldwide, as we did with Jamaica, with South Africa, once upon a time. A nation that proposes and determines solutions in Africa, in the Middle East, even in Europe. A nation to which African Americans will troop back and settle in; but not just, even Caucasians will apply to emigrate to. A nation that in a world of increasing crises, is not the bottom of the pot, but the beacon of hope. But the few of you who have held on to power since our independence, and the additional shameless morally insolvent new generation mentees, have made the nation invalid, wheel-chair bound. The shame has killed me. There is nothing you can do. Shout as loud as you can; – DO I KNOW WHO YOU ARE! I Do: You are a bloody, petty thief. Not worthy enough to polish my shoes. And one day, you will be buried. http://ends.ng/do-you-know-who-i-am/ |

Politics › Re: Tinubu To Undergo Orthopedic Surgery by artade: 8:35am On Aug 06, 2013 |
Prof Corruption: “Based on previous sports injury on one of his knees and recent further aggravation on the knee from rigorous political and family related activities, he has been advised by his Doctors, despite his persistent reluctance that orthopedic surgery is necessary at this time,” the brief statement said today. For all those screaming "pastor this, prophecy that", do you guys realize that "based on previous sports injury... and recent further aggravation... he has been advised by his doctors despite his persistent reluctance that orthopedic surgery is necessary"? What that means is that anyone who is privy to this information can "make a cheap prophecy". So before you start giving credit to false prophets, ask yourself, When was the prophecy made? Was it long before Tinubu had the sport injury? Why not spend time reading your Bibles and learn from true prophecies from Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Ezekiel and many more... |

Not only governor's promise. It's easier to win elections in a land you've invested a lot in. And when Ben Bruce (or one of his blood) becomes governor, their investment will begin to pay off in multi-billions and then they can take over Bayelsa (like Lagos has been taken over). [quote author=uj_sizzle]STV has turned Bayelsa to the Entertainment capital, that's why they suddenly take everything there. Who knows what the governor has promised them  [/quote] |

We thot so too as he's been known to "hibernate" and then show up {there was this time *think mid 2008* he went to Uganda for months and didnt tell anyone till he came back. We've been hoping he'd show up since as no one has seen him in Naija, SA or the States so far. Thanks bro The first thing I asked myself was "Why did it take 2 years before announcing?"... Then I went through his Facebook account, went through his photos and got the answer: His lifestyle. Clubbing, drinking, smoking, and probably drugs. When a straight person gets missing, the world knows immediately. When someone who lives on the fast-lane gets missing, no one can really tell. He may actually be in "hibernation mode", maybe this time he just decided to stretch it (I hope so). If not, maybe his life on the fast-lane has caught up with him (I hope not). dopesidez: na only picture wey him pam woman waist una fit put up for even someone who is missing Trust me, there are no better pictures of him on Facebook or do you want them to put up a photo where he is apparently high on dope? |

For those shouting emenike ......., he could have flopped also in this tournament, just as IK uche was a flop in AFCON. We will get it right, very very soon, the most important hurdle for the team is to qualify for 2014, world cup, Lots and lots of friendlies using a mix of players will give us a solid team at all compartment of the game , we have guaranteed players at the defence at the moment (omeruo,oboabo, efe, echiejille), the midfield and the forward are were the real work needs to be done. Eagles will soar. Mark my word. A world class team with a bunch of early twenties guys. The super eagles destiny is so bright. If we make it to the 2014 world cup, we will be the first african team to make the semi finals . Abeg, shout it out loud. We will get their very soon. Recalling Osazee and co is like returning to ones vomit. You would throw up almost immediately. Let's be positive and keep building. |

sholasys: Actually i think our boys did very well and controlled the ball at the midfield, we have some goal attempt but am a bit disappointed with Enyama's performance today. Most especially the second goal, that should be saved. Tiati's goal was also blamed on him for his lack of foresight. All the best. Like, seriously? That second goal came from a classic strike. Chances of a goalkeeper saving such is like 2 to 8. Even with super sharp reflexes, any goalkeeper would need a bit of luck to save such a strike. Smart defenders always try to prevent such strikes. |

2tex: Mikel indeed has a gud CV and u sure expected alot from him. To me, Mikel performed well irrespective of d fact dat he gave away d ball a few occasions. His overall performance was cool.
Where i hav a problm wif ur post is where u said he struggled to make an impact in d midfield and even cudn't score a goal. The Mikel i know is one player dat heeds to the coachs instructions. Perharps he was told to sit deep in d midfield, create those passes and assist d defenders. If u noticed, he rarely came forward hence u don't expect him to score.
He didn't score, fine. but he sure gave world class killer passes, both long and short range dat differenciated men from boys.
Well except u didn't watch dsame game i watched, Mikel did well. Am proud of him. If there's any one to blame, it should sure be our strikers. Mikel sure gave world-class killer passes. The only problem was that the passes were sent to jet-lagged tortoise-legged strikers who lost all of over 4 one-on-ones with a professional driver cum part-time goalkeeper. So Mikel was hardly ever the problem in that match. |
