@Rottweiler,
Sorry about the loss of your dad.
I'm surprised to find out that such traditions still exist. It's a bit sad because as you said, there really isnt any significance to such practices.

@Mr. IRS,

Who or what is tookie?

I dont really like any of his movies but I love his accent. Comedians are always making fun of his Austrian accent.

It was a very good movie but it was so graphic that I had to fast forward through some parts.

Top ten food

She will be loved - Maroon 5

I saw the movie after I read the book. Although I thought it was a great book, I preferred the movie. Great movie!

Y'all are right- Tea Cake was hot!

When I log on to my computer, I usually check my email right away. I dont do the whole "virus scan" deal because I'd like to think that my computer is immune to all viruses.

Happy Belated Bday to all of you!

Although I wouldnt mind having one, MP3 Players are very over-rated! Whatever happened to CD players and walkmans and portable cassete players etc,

I love to play tennis! It's one of the few sports that I like. I also love to read, listen to music and do outdoor-related stuff.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie - they are a cute couple! They are having a baby together. Hopefully, they'll get married someday.

Gas prices are ridiculously high everywhere! Personally, I think that everyone should boycott gas and ride bikes (or walk) everywhere- demand for oil would go down and prices would also decrease (and you get good exercise.)

You want to meet OBJ, show me some greenbacks

My dad knew him back in the day. I dont think they keep in touch anymore. I cant believe OBJ used to be a chicken farmer. Who knows? I might be related to OBJ. A lot of people from Abeokuta are related

I've been doing some research on something called "extraordinary renditions" for my American Public Policy class.
In short, "Extraordinary Renditioning" is a CIA endorsed program that enables CIA agents to render terrorist suspects to a country where torture is an acceptable interrogation tactic. It's sort of like outsourcing torture. As of right now, it's not illegal but the "Torture Outsourcing Prevention Act", which is yet to be passed as a law, would make it illegal.
It's a very interesting topic but the sad part is that I have to write a PAPER on it!

@ babymine

I don't think that I know where Rumuigbo is. There are so many Rumu-whatever; it gets kinda confusing!

@rich olly

My dad is from Abeokuta (I think) and he says he actually knew OBJ as a teenager.

Badman888:
ahhh the normal way now 'rig the election"

I'm sure that fraudulent elections are not the norm in Nigeria. Didnt "rigging" stop a while ago? Besides, how would anyone know if an election is rigged or not?

Idekeson:
Nigeria is the land of the impossible. You never know. It's not like Nigerian presidents are elected anyway.

If Nigerian presidents arent elected, then how do they get into office? It's a democracy, isnt it?

Seun:
Chippla Vandu believes that Nigerian women in government will be less corrupt.

I dont know if women will be less corrupt but I do know that a woman would have a different way of solving Naija's problems. A woman's way might be the right way!

Besides a female Nigerian president would be like a role model to Nigerian women. It would enable women to see that they can have a voice in government.

@Badman
Your great grand-daughter would be running against my great grand-daughter

Badman888:
that means say n.a.i.j.a don finish

@Badman
What's that suppossed to mean? A female president could do more for Nigeria than any man has ever done.

na yeye male presidents go finish naija

Yay for Osun State and their funny accent!!!

I used to like The Black Eyed Peas until they released the most obnoxious song in the history of music; My Humps 

I still like "Where is the love". It's one of my favorite songs.

Do you like their music?

My dad is from Ogun State. I hear it's very under-developed.

Seriously?!!! Yes, it's in Eliogbolo. That school was something else. Did you go there? What year did your brother graduate?

I was born in okokomiko (I spelt that really wrong)/Lagos/Nigeria

@babymine
Where in Port-Harcourt do you live? I used to live in Elejiji/ Woji. Do you know a school called "Brainfield Secondary School?"

I attended Brainfield Secondary School in Port-Harcourt. I loved that school so much. The teachers used to beat everyone with sticks and umbrella but, it's all good. I remember that I used to cry like a little baby when I was "flogged" .

Anyways, the anthem went something like this;

Brainfield College, Brainfield College,
Brainfield college, my dear dream college.

Citadel of morals
Citadel of discipline
Citadel of academic excellence.

Bla, bla, that's all I remember.

I think that I am from Ogun State but I've never been there. I hear it's very "under-developed"

I was born in Lagos;
Good- I love the noise at night. It's a fun state.
Bad- It's way too populated.
Other nationality- American
