[quote author=musicwriter post=52228142]Honestly, you don't understand what the issues are, and I think it's a waste of time holding any discussion with you on this topic. You said you're an Igbo. So, why can't you communicate me in Igbo since I' am also Igbo? Enjoy your slavery.........[/quote Why will I communicate with you in igbo when you don't comprehend igbo? Henceforth, if you can't type all this your hogwash in igbo, stop disturbing me please and go find something to do with your life, from all your write - up, you come across as a sadist to me |

This is a small issue, same thing happened to me in my residence at onitsha. Use the following effective guidelines : 1. Warn them- if cautioning them yield no results then 2. Report to the street head - if this doesn't work then 3. Go to any electronic shop and get the biggest, loudest and noisiest speaker you can find. 4. Install those speakers directly at the church building 5. Anytime the church holds any program and you feel your peace is being threatened. 6. Put on your music(especially music with deep bass and lewd lyrics) 7. Increase the volume to the highest. 8. Watch that church flee from your area or control their noise. 6 Likes 1 Share |

24. Silhouette The image of a person, animal or object in a single color or their shape viewed against a source of light. After Étienne de Silhouette, a French finance minister, who imposed severe economic restrictions during a crisis with the result that his name came to mean anything cheaply made, and eventually the contemporary meaning. Image Source: wikipedia During the 18th century, France was in a financial crisis because of the Seven Years’ War, which caused the financial minister Étienne de Silhouette to use very severe economic demands, especially on the wealthy. Prior to the invention of photography, these cut out black profiles of people became the cheapest way to record a person’s appearance. These profiles were soon come to be referred as silhouettes in the 19th century, though such art was prevalent in the 18th century as well.(source)

23. Boycott To protest by withdrawing the usage, purchase or relations with someone or something. Named after Charles Boycott, an Irish land agent, who was excluded from the Irish Land League for evicting poor tenants. Image Source: wikipedia, carolynjoycooper During the Irish Land War, Captain Charles Boycott served as the land agent for an absent landlord, Lord Erne. In a year when harvests were poor, Lord Erne gave 10 percent reduction in rents. But later, in September that year, he refused to accept 25 percent as demanded by the protesting tenants. Charles Stewart Parnell gave a speech before any of these events occurred and said that the new tenants who take the farms of evicted tenants should be shunned instead of using violence. Though Boycott isn’t actually a new tenant but a land agent, the villagers started isolating him by stopping working in his field and house, and trading with him or even delivering his mail.(source)

22. Shrapnel Fragment of a bomb, shell or an object thrown by an explosion. Named after Lieutenant General Henry Shrapnel who invented shrapnel shell, but the word later came to mean fragments of the shells after the explosion. Image Source: alchetron Henry Shrapnel’s invention, shrapnel shell, consisted of a hollow cannonball which was filled with lead shots that would explode in mid-air. However, he actually called them “spherical case” ammunition. The British Army later adopted the concept to create an elongated explosive shell and named after him. Soon the word “shrapnel” also came to mean fragmentation of artillery shells and any general fragmentation. The shells were manufactured using the original idea until the end of WWI.(source)

21. Sadism Deriving pleasure from inflicting pain, humiliation or suffering on others, sexual or otherwise.

He was also infamous for his libertine sexuality and erotic works that depicted sexual fantasies containing violence and criminality, which led to establishing the words “sadism” and “sadist”. This was also perceived as blasphemy against the Catholic Church that caused him to be imprisoned or sent to insane asylums for 32 years of his life.(source)

20. Lynching Execution of an alleged offender by a mob or a group without a legal trial. Named after Charles Lynch, an American Revolutionary and Virginia planter, who incarcerated loyalist supporters of the British even when he didn’t have proper jurisdiction. Image Source: newafrikan77 During the American Revolution, a Virginia Quaker named Charles Lynch headed a county court that imprisoned British loyalists for up to one year. He claimed that this was war necessity even though he had no proper jurisdiction. He was even able to persuade the Congress of the Confederation to exonerate him and his associates. This, however, gave rise to a controversy and the term “Lynch law”, which came to mean punishment without a trial, even though no execution was ever performed.(source)

19. Luddite Someone who is opposed to industrialization and new technologies for fear of losing their jobs. Named after Ned Ludd who allegedly destroyed two stocking knitting machines, thus becoming a symbol for others. Image Source: signature-reads The Luddite movement started during the harsh economic climate of Napoleonic wars when the working conditions in textile factories became difficult. The Luddites mostly objected the increased automation of textile industry which threatened their jobs. It also threatened the livelihoods of skilled workers as it allowed the owners to hire less skilled people for the work at cheaper wages. The movement began on March 11, 1811, when handloom weavers burned mills and factory machinery, and textile workers destroyed the industrial equipment. The name Luddite has uncertain origins with a popular belief that the movement started with Nedd Ludd, whose name evolved into General Ludd or King Ludd, and was thought to live in Sherwood Forest like Robin Hood.(source)

17. Guillotine A beheading machine with a huge blade that slides vertically. Named after Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin, a French physician, who proposed its use for a quick and painless execution. Image Source: wikipedia, wikipedia Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin was a French physician, politician, and freemason. Guillotin was always opposed to giving death penalty as a punishment and proposed the use of a simple mechanism to decapitate the criminal. Decapitation was usually reserved for nobility using an ax or sword, while the common people were hanged. Guillotin hoped that establishing a fair system where the only capital punishment was done by mechanical decapitation, thus, it would help the public appreciate their rights, and also hoped that such a penalty would one day be abolished. He tried to make the executions more private as well. The actual inventor of the guillotine, however, was not him, but another man named Antonie Louis.(source)

16. Draconian Laws and rules that are very harsh and severe. Named after Draco, a democratic Athenian legislator from 7th century BC, who made harsh laws that the citizens were not even aware. Image Source: ranker Ironically enough, Draco was the first democratic legislator of Athens, whom the Athenian citizens wanted to be the lawgiver. He replaced the existing oral law and blood feud, and the laws he laid down came to become the first written constitution of Athens. His laws imposed slavery on debtors with a status lower than that of creditors and death penalty on minor offenses such as stealing cabbages. Plutarch says “Draco said that these lesser crimes deserved the death penalty and he had no greater punishment for more important ones.”(source)

His fondness for painting full-figured women was what gave rise to the term “Rubenesque” or “Rubensian”.(source)
