 Phones › Re: [please vote] Most Commonly Used Phones in Nigeria ... by blackweaver(m): 9:24pm On May 13, 2005 |
Personally, I use a Motorola, but I think the most popular phone is either a Nokia or a Samsung model. Those two are probably the two most popular brands in this country, though motorola might be making an impact with the c115 (thanks to Vmobile  ) |
| Literature › Re: Does Harry Potter Encourage Witchcraft? by blackweaver(m): 3:42pm On Apr 04, 2005 |
i have read bks 1-4 and quite a number of other books that make Harry potter seem pale in comparison, however i would say that such books would not catch childrens' fancy the way Harry Potter does. I think the reason why there's so much of an outcry against it is 'cos its so popular however I agree that it is not suitable for children which might seem unfortunate since i guess the book seems particularly geared towards them. Does it encourage witchcraft? i don't know but i think kids below a certain age shld not be allowed to read such books. (Seun u say u've 1-5, correct me if i'm wrong but i think the films might actually be worse than the books ) |
| Pets › Re: Dog Lovers in Nigeria: introduce your pet dogs! by blackweaver(m): 3:29pm On Apr 04, 2005 |
Personally 'I' don't have a dog rather 'we' my family have two: 'Captain' and 'Duchess' (should be Duchess 2, I call her Sultana). Anyway we believe Captain is a cross btw a German Shepherd and a local while Duchess is an Alsatian. Captain is about nine years and the one I prefer; unfortunately I haven't visited my family for a while, so I don't know how well they are doing. Anyway, captain is a 'bota' dog - he knows the difference between white rice and jollof rice - usually never finishes the white, and he can be very picky about his food. Anyway the first dog we ever had was called prince and since that time we've had a tradition of giving our dogs aristocratic names: Prince, emperor, duke, duchess, colonel, captain etc very funny eh? I once had a pic of me and captain on my yahoo site but have removed it. Captain once taught me to respect the old adage: 'Let sleeping dogs lie'. I'll talk about it another time, and of course he's my favorite. That reminds me, I am a member of one Yahoo pet group, and once I was chatting with an American woman and she asked me what we fed our dog. I told her that buying those dog foods that they give their dogs is too expensive so we just give our dogs the same as what we eat. She then told me that to do that over there would be too expensive  . 1 Like |

I would rather not vote - I don't know what to say of him. However I can't help wondering if he is even interested inthe welfare of NIgeria at all - I believe he's done more for Africa than for Nigeria. Whenever there's a crisis in an African country, you'll see him actively involved, while he doesn't seem to care about what's going on here. |
