I have had several as well.

There was a time i went to visit my boyfriend and then wanted to make egusi and also make stew for the week.
I am an expert cook of rice, stew spag, etc but i had never made any soup, just watched my mum.
This fateful day, was frying d egusi and didint know dat i had to keep turning it.'
I left it and started blending tomato, by the time i came back, it was black.
My boyfriend's friends were also around so i just started making the stew.
Later, he came and asked me dat he thought i was making soup n he had told his friends.
I had to confess and show him d soup, he was shocked!

Another time, i was like 10 yrs old.
I was hungry in d middle of d night and slipped downstairs to make pap.
I had never made pap b4 so it was my first attempt.
I put plenty pap and started pouring the hot water, it never turned thick.
I had to throw everything away n go back 2 my room hungry.

Around dat same time, my dad travelled to US and wen he was coming back, my mum asked me to make eba.
I told her dat i didnt know how to.
She was angry and told me to make sure i made eba.
I made eba with less than boiling hot water cos i couldnt wait 4 it to boil properly.
When my mum saw it, she made me eat d whole thing and i had to pur soup inside.
It was hideous.
That was when i started learning how to cook and 2 start cooking.

What did i do? How can i undo it?

Piss

It is without doubt, Governor Peter Obi of Anambra.
He doesn't blow his own horn but i will help him do so.

The Red Cross conferred on him the most worthy governor in Nigeria while naming him ambassador to Haiti. This is not without the Governor’s effort in building a brand new office for the society by the Central Police Station, Amawbia, while also donating a new bus.

For the Governor’s integrated approach to development, the Sun newspapers again gave him a “merit award” in December of 2009.

Cisco, the world giant in information technology, awarded him the Best Governor in Nigeria on information and communication technology. This was on account of provision of Cisco academy in the 21 local government areas in the state on a level not known to any African state.

For Onno Ruhl, the Country Director of the World Bank, the Obi administration has shown governance and capacity building in the state, hence the World Bank partners with the state in strategic projects development.

Again, the state was voted some months back, as the best educationally-friendly state in the South East zone, winning as a consequence a princely sum of N100 million .

For providing the state with two mini stadia at Onitsha North and South local councils, a stock exchange in the same Onitsha, many blocks of building at the State University in Igbariam, a long bridge at odor linking Awgbu and Amaokpala, various water schemes etc these awards were not misplaced.

The state is currently revitalizing its educational system by renovating, equipping and computerizing both primary, secondary and of course its tertiary institutions.

Amaku general hospital has been upgraded to a teaching hospital with modern buildings and equipment already in place just as Ekwulobia, Umueri, Umunze, Umuchu etc had their hospitals either built from the scratch or renovated.

LAGOS—THE 12-member jury deliberating on the money laundering trial of associates of the former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, yesterday, found his sister, Christine Ibie-Ibori, guilty of all charges of money laundering and mortgage fraud. The sentence passed was, however, not known at press time, but the jury acquitted Ibori’s former assistant, Adebimpe Pogoson and Ms. Udoamaka Okoronkw of the charges against them.

It had been a tough time for the defence lawyers of associates of former Governor James Ibori. On a specific bad day the lawyers were said to have effectively conceded the substantive grounds, resorting to hanging desperately on technicalities. A lawyer who had followed the case told Vanguard: “That’s what’s been happening throughout the case.”

In the dock were Ibori’s mistress, Udoamaka Okoronkwo, his sister, Christine Ibie-Ibori, and his former personal aide, Pogoson. Also facing legal trouble were Ibori’s lawyer, Bhadresh Gohil, and his wife, Theresa Nkoyo Ibori. At the Southwark Crown Court presided over by Justice Christopher Harding, the former governor’s lawyers could not refute the prosecution’s argument that Ms. Okoronkwo “handled paper work and transfer of funds” on behalf of Ibori using a company owned by the former governor in the UK Island of Guernsey. The prosecution had earlier presented evidence to show that Ibori’s sister, Christine, was used by Ibori, along with one Mr. Desar and two others, to criminally acquire various properties in the UK.

Handling of transfer of funds
Unable to discredit the evidence, Christine Ibori’s defence team argued that she was actually “hoodwinked” by the men into taking part in the criminal deals.
The prosecution countered that there was no evidence that she was hoodwinked, and that “even if Mr. Desar and others were less than scrupulous in their dealings, the fact does not necessarily exonerate Christine Ibori since she had been proven to be part of the shady deals.” On Ms. Okoronkwo, the prosecution and defence lawyers essentially agreed that she, among other things, handled the transfer of funds provided by James Ibori for the purchase of corporate vehicles for the Guernsey-based company, Zacon and Zetah. Finding itself against the ropes, the defence team argued that Okoronkwo was, technically, not guilty of “management of funds for the company” as stated in the prosecution’s opening statement, adding that in “Company Law”, “handling paper work” was not the same as management.

In response, the prosecution appealed to a ‘common sense’ definition of the word ‘manage’, but the defence insisted that it had a different meaning on ‘point of law’. The prosecution and defence lawyers engaged in lengthy argument on the issue, with the judge interjecting questions during the animated exchanges that lasted more than 30 minutes. The prosecution argued that even if the word ‘manage’ was not admissible, the case against Ibori’s mistress had been proven on the substance that she illegally handled criminal funds.

When the judge accepted the prosecution’s submission, the defence lawyers argued at length with him, insisting that the original indictment, on which the case had been conducted, was that of “management” rather than “handling of criminal funds.” A lawyer who observed the hearing told Vanguard that “the judge was rather amazed at the objections raised by the defence team, but promised to take a look at their arguments and other documentary evidence and make his views known in a subsequent court session.”

It was not clear, yesterday, the effect the conviction would have on Britain’s attempt to extradite the former governor who was arrested in Dubai, United Arab Emirates last month, especially as Ibori was reported to be working on getting political asylum in that country.

Ibori rejects verdict
However, embattled former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, has rejected the judgment of the Southwark Court in London which found his sister, Mrs. Christine Ibori-Ibie, guilty of money laundering charges. Chief Ibori said in a statement by his Media Assistant, Mr. Tony Eluemunor, in Abuja, that the Crown Prosecution failed to establish any proceeds of crime and evidence of crime against his sister.

The statement said: “Ibori has totally rejected the verdict returned by the jury against his sister because no evidence of any crime, corruption or money laundering was established against her. He said that the fact that she obeyed the advice of her lawyers to exercise her right not to mount the witness stand should not amount to a crime for which she would be found guilty on all counts.
“That she chose to remain silent should not be the reason why she should have been so punished, that is why her lawyers have served notice that they will appeal against the judgment.”

While indicating that his sister would appeal the judgment, Ibori also wondered how she would be found guilty while the other two accused persons: Ms. Udoamaka Okoronkwo and Ms. Adebimkpe Pogoson were freed. The statement added: “This is because despite the Judge’s directive of last week that every charge must be proved beyond reasonable doubt, despite the failure of the Crown Prosecution to establish any proceeds of crime, despite the Prosecution’s failure to evidence any crime, it is difficult to understand how his sister alone could have been found guilty of money laundering without proof by the London court.

“Also, it is a fact that during the judge’s summing up last week, he directed that the mortgage charges were “not safe” because the evidence presented by the prosecution had been totally destroyed by the defence during cross-examination. This fact was even conceded in open court by the prosecution. “It is as clear as daylight that a miscarriage of justice has been wrought, because though several persons were charged with the same allegations, only one person, was found guilty of such charges and others were declared innocent.

Ibori is saying this because only his sister, among the three Ibori associates that faced trial, has so far been found guilty of the same charges over which others were freed. Yet, no extra jot of evidence was brought against her. “It is a fact that she was the only one that exercised her right of not giving evidence during the trial.

Her legal team had decided that the prosecution’s case against her was so weak that there was no need whatsoever for her to take the witness stand.
Ibori recalls for the record that his sister, Mrs. Christine Ibori-Ibie, Ms. Udoamaka Okoronkwo and Ms. Adebimpe Pogoson were faced with the same money laundering charges of counts one to four during the trial.

“The charges against the others were rightly dropped for want of evidence. The rest charges against Mrs. Ibie were mortgage-related. But in continuation of the political persecution against Ibori, his sister has now been found guilty where others were rightly found innocent.
To Ibori, this is a clear notice that every member of his family is under the same political attack that has been buffeting him, and that the rules would be bent to do his family members in for all the accused should have been declared innocent.”

@ Lastpage, wish u could say the name of that stuff and where to get it so dat i can sleep well again.

All these people shouting about Anichebe's exclusion.
How many goals has he ever scored for Nigeria dat we should include him?
He should go n improve on his shooting.
Its not just about playing well, its also about scoring goals.

The tragic events of Monday morning are, rightly, sending shockwaves around the world – but blaming the IDF alone for the carnage flies in the face of the facts. Video footage from an on-board news agency clearly shows a premeditated attack on Israeli soldiers, with activists using iron bars and other weapons to assault the troops and giving the IDF carte blanche to respond with force against them.

That there was a Nobel peace prize laureate on board is irrelevant. That Gazans are suffering immensely from the years'-old siege of their land is unpalatable and unfortunate – but also irrelevant in the context of this particular incident. Israel had given countless warnings to the activists not to proceed with their trip without first allowing the freight on their ships to be checked; Israel had repeatedly offered to allow the aid in as long as the activists handed it over to the army to be inspected.

At the same time, those supposedly bringing "aid" to the people of Gaza have form for using alleged acts of humanitarianism as cover for weapons smuggling – and Israel has every right to defend its own citizens from the consequences of such illicit transfer of arms. There is not a country on earth that would not take similar steps to protect its people; there is not an army on earth that would not allow its soldiers to respond with force to neutralise a life-threatening attack on their fellow troops.

The activists who launched the vicious assault on the boarding soldiers knew full well what they were doing. They had issued threat after threat against the IDF in the days building up to this morning's clash, with convoy organiser Huwaida Arraf brashly declaring his group's unwavering dedication to reaching Gaza: "They are going to have to forcefully stop us." Club-wielding assailants might not fit the cute and cuddly image of stereotypical aid workers, but there can be no doubt from the evidence that those attacking the Israeli forces were not the archetype of calm and measured peace activists.

One of the first diplomatic reactions to the deadly affair came from Murat Mercan, a lawmaker from Turkey's ruling party: "I was expecting an intervention. I was not expecting bloodshed, the use of arms and bullets." The official Turkish line is that Israel has behaved in an "unacceptable" fashion, yet – unsurprisingly – not one Turkish politician has had the honesty or courage to lay an iota of blame at the feet of the ultra-violent activists. Without such a sustained attack on the troops, Mercan's predictions of a blood-free intervention would have come to pass: but he, like many others in his position, prefers not to dwell on such minor details if it means having to concede even an inch of ground to the Israelis.

In the wider political context, Israel's government and army are clearly at fault over a myriad of issues, as are the leaders and politicians of Hamas – but what took place aboard the Freedom flotilla must be viewed in isolation in terms of the violence from both sides, rather than used as yet another rod with which to beat Israel simply because it suits certain parties to do so.

The immediate response of hundreds of civilians in Turkey – attacking consulates, fighting with local police – is another example of the resorting-to-violence mob's myopic behaviour that so impedes efforts to resolve the Israel-Palestine imbroglio using peaceful and diplomatic means. Violence is the stock in trade of extremists on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian war: settlers and soldiers on one side, militants and terror leaders on the other; pretending that the violence emanates from the Israeli side only is a spurious and senseless way to paint the picture.

When Israel's wrongs are brought to light, they deserve condemnation as much as those of the Palestinians, but that does not mean automatically that in any situation the default position ought to be Israel is guilty until proven innocent. In the case of the Freedom flotilla, Israel made repeated efforts during recent weeks to assist the activists in their mission and avoid bloodshed.

Even during the raid, troops did not fire on those on board at first, instead simply trying to go about their business of inspecting the cargo. When they were attacked with venomous force by the activists, they were left with no choice but to respond in kind. Those are the only facts that matter here, and all the kneejerk Israel-hating in the world won't absolve the activist aggressors from their share of guilt for the horrific events that unfolded today.

Can someone else join in half way?

Of

of d whole thing.

Seems like its some serious shit, i dont know how to play and i hate losing.

^^^^^^^

Your own is better.

^^^^^^

NOW, i am scared.

dayokanu:
Israel has the right to defend her territories and citizens against external aggression from the neighbours in form of Suicide Bombers, Qassam rockets and even stones.

When rockets are being launched at Israel we would all sit in the comfort of our homes and blow big grammars when the people on the street of TelAviv, Beersheba and Haifa are being blown to pieces

GBAM!

Didnt u see the iron rods and poles they were being hit with?
Didn't the Isreali soldiers also suffer casualties?
How were the casualties caused? By landing with one leg?

Abeg jo, let us call a spade a spade.
Those people were militants like dem Niger Delta militants.
The law of Self - Preservation is "Destroy them before they destroy you"'
They even waited to be injured.

All these biased storytelling.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words,
You can see the thousand words in this link:

This should be moved to forum games.

reflection

I went with my little cousin, she was about 5yrs, to the salon.
She is the last child and has like 4 elder ones.
The hair stylist had a little baby about 15months old.
My coz started playing with the baby.

When we were done with our hair, My coz turned to me, "Please can we take baby home?"
I was like, "Babies r a big responsibility and the baby is not yours so u cant take baby home".
She started crying and went and looked for the babies shoes, wore the baby the shoes and insisted that she must take baby home.
It turned to serious fight, she refused to leave the baby alone.
I had to lie to her that we have to go home and clear a room for the baby.
See the way she ran into d car, "Driver drive fast before baby will run away".

I deposited her with her mum and left the mum to decipher what she was saying and quietly went home.
