(Junior Gunners is open to ages 0-16) What your pix says to me: You are a classic case study in contradictions – You use them to differentiate yourself from the crowd as you detest the go-with-the-flow mindset. Loyalty is one of your top three desirable traits, although you’re learning to live with the disappointments of others. Here’s how you spell fun: p-a-t-w-h-i-z-k-i-d! === |

=== Username: blackspade Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=234227 Pix Summary: A young, sturdy, callous-looking man in an interesting outfit, with flip-flops to match. Subservient to him is a large, hyena-looking creature. Behind him is desolate. What your pix says to me: You are off the charts in the Power Dimension – You either seek power to show-off or to right a wrong (euphemism for revenge). You would love to dominate your field or enterprise. You do not subscribe to use-and-dump; on the contrary, you are a kind ‘master’, but a ‘master’ all the same. Regardless of where you go in the world, Naija is beating in your heart. === |
| Nairaland General › Re: What Is Real Money? by canuck(m): 3:17pm On Oct 29, 2009 |
Money (Cash) is a merely a measure of value; it is NOT value per say. Those that say money is what they see with their naked eyes are preoccupied with the utility value of money - This is the bane of the culture that make up Third World nations. On the contrary, the intrinsic value of money recognizes money as a tool for the creation of more money, not as a master to be worshipped and acquired (without rendering real value), e.g. fraud, corruption, ritual killings, kidnapping, idolizing 'big men', poor industry, etc. Real money cannot be seen with the naked eyes - It is intangible. Hope this helps. Great question though. |

@Kunbee I'm not surprised the assessment of you was mostly a hit. Trust me, there are no tarot cards, star gazing or psychic gymnastics involved here. What appeals to you tells the whole world who you are - We are what we choose. |

=== Username: Kunbee Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=199351 Pix Summary: A youngish looking guy with an exceptionally large head, and a disproportionately small, and freckled face. He’s in his Sunday best and smiling broadly. What your pix says to me: You love to shock with your intelligence and would push your point of view to its logical conclusion. You tend to downplay your sentiments and mawkishness for rationality. You are fun at heart, but that heart of yours is deep enough that only a few find it. You may find yourself relying on a visionary for guidance, and a visionary will depend on you for the know-how. === |

After a few months on Nairaland, I can’t help but notice the variety of non-portrait pictures & short movies used by NLanders in their profiles. (Sagamite did a good/funny job on the female portraits) Since your profile pix was chosen by you out of millions available in cyberspace, it must mean something to you. And if it means something to you, it tells me something, gives me just a little glimpse of who you are as a person. My assessments are based solely on the pix uploaded; they have nothing to do with members’ previous postings or points of view. Tell us if I come close. I truly enjoyed doing this mini-project. Hope you find it interesting. . . Enjoy! === Username: ikeyman00 Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=245045 Pix Summary: A not-so-attractive-looking plant, and generally dull-coloured – Wouldn’t be attractive to a pollinator. And it has no flowers! The leaves actually look spiky. Appears to have what it takes to survive harsh weather conditions. What your pix says to me: You are one tough cookie! Who needs photosynthesis (or whatever system everyone else depends on) when you wish to be self-made. You may step on toes and slash some faces to make a point or get ahead, but hey, it’s life as you see it. You love the spotlight though, and like to stand out from the crowd. === Username: dani1luv Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=170396 Pix Summary: A US$100 bill with a caption “Please don’t touch” What your pix says to me: You have a colorful sense of humor. Given a clear vision and roadmap to your destination, you will take to the skies at the drop of the hat. You have a heart for risk-taking – You hedge your bets and take a plunge anyway. === Username: iice Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=27629 Pix Summary: The slow-motion video caption, Agannûlun ugruda ki, meaning “The shadow of death is on you”, is written in Adûnaic, the language of the Men of Númenor during the Second Age (Based on the fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien) What your pix says to me: You are a smooth operator with a clear set of eyes in your head. You are intensely focused, which may cause hesitant people to stumble and lose confidence around you. You do not shy away from abstracts; in fact, you think better in non-figurative and non-representational ways and translate them to ‘mere mortals’. === Username: Tudór Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=350375 Pix Summary: A contraption of some kind – A camera and a phone held together by a rubber band What your pix says to me: You are very creative, and may probably pass for a nerd. Your mind is your world and technology is your sun. Though you may not win “The Last Comic Standing”, you love to laugh from time to time. You capture things the way you see them – You might come off as rude to some people, but, hey, a picture is a picture; you rarely filter! You believe in combining what you have to get what you want – You take no excuses, and no prisoners. === Username: Cayon Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=193643 Pix Summary: Hand making peace sign. Silhouettes of an olive branch, bird (dove maybe), butterflies and hearts. What your pix says to me: Peace and tranquility has your vote any day. You may even be termed a Socialist, but hey, you don’t care for labels. You will always give people the benefit of doubt. You basically see the good in people. You can be tough if you’re taken me for granted though. === Username: Ziggy_mama Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=178828 Pix Summary: A beautiful fairy. . . And she’s black! Her head is tilted to her right shoulder, appearing shy. She’s skinny (probably a size 2-4), has captivating eyes and has a head full of hair. She’s standing (or flying over) a sea of sunflowers in full bloom. What your pix says to me: You feel sooooo special and comfortable under your skin. You are sweet and tender, but can definitely stand up for myself if necessary. You want to succeed on your abilities, but not at all cost. You are a softie at heart, but only a privileged few know so. === Username: debest1 Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=358781 Pix Summary: A crass, unkempt and mean-looking “Agbero” or “Area boy”, with facial scars that confirm what he’s into. He appears topless and has a face cap worn backwards. Caption, “I’m gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse. Kiss me” What your pix says to me: You are rugged at heart, but fair; impatient, but focused; unconventional, but get things done. You are a bottom-line kind of guy, and always keep your eyes on the ball. You strive to be preeminent in what you do. You love to be in charge, even when you are clearly not ready; you always think you will catch up. === Username: candylips Profile Pix: (Pix has changed) https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=50758 Pix Summary: (Before pix changed) Animated silhouette of an individual sitting behind a PC and repeatedly slamming his/her head on a keyboard, with stars flying! Picture has rounded edges What your pix says to me: You work hard but do not suffer fools – You grow imperially impatient if people are slow to understand your point of view. You are methodical in your analysis and appreciate sound argument. You value action over words, which play to your strength of being a person of few words. You love to have your way, but will back off to allow things cool off; one may even be driving you crazy but one can’t tell from the way you handle the relationship. === Username: jejelolatu Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=72923 Pix Summary: A background of water-marked hearts. The foreground has an imposing image of 3 hearts with flower imprints and an arrow passing through, without piercing any of the hearts. There’s a download bar at the bottom which indicates download has started, but still in the early stages. What your pix says to me: You wear your heart on your sleeves – That’s why you are extra careful with people, so as not to get hurt. Once heart is captured (and very few can achieve this feat), you give yourself totally and forever; no shaking! You love the finer things of life and enjoy pampering. “Love me jeje, love me tender!” === Username: chipmunkey Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=361862 Pix Summary: The Flintones, standing on their porch. What your pix says to me: You are fun, creative and possess an engaging personality – You are a walking definition of an extrovert; people are your world, and connecting with them is top priority for you. Some people may take advantage of your openness, but that does not faze you. You thrive === Username: sexyLeamon Profile Pix: (Pix has changed) https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=241352 Pix Summary: (Before pix changed) “See You Later” written on a bright coloured background with dark spots - Fireworks going off sporadically. Taken from blingcheese.com What your pix says to me: You love life and try to live it to the fullest. You are unquestionably classy. People are important to you and you love to communicate/mingle well with everyone, regardless of class/status. You love the sparkles of life though and won’t be caught dead in some articles of clothing. Finally, you strive to be ethical (You didn’t hide the source of the picture) === Username: The Seeker Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=340584 Pix Summary: Raging criminal in The Dark Knight (movie), Joker, with OBJ’s face superimposed. What your pix says to me: You are gifted in correlating and finding common relationships among seemingly unrelated elements. This gives you confidence in communicating new ideas – Try not to speak over people’s heads though; wait for them to catch up, as you need executors to see what you see. === Username: chika98 Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=130134 Pix Summary: A topless ebony black man with a tattoo-laced, well-toned body and clenched fist, with partially obscured face. What your pix says to me: Not one to walk away from causing a stir, but you’d rather do so surreptitiously – Many have taken a fall for something you started. . .It only makes it the adventure sweeter to you. === Username: davidylan Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=6410 Pix Summary: An infant staring, almost emotionlessly, into the camera. What your pix says to me: You are a deep individual who is in touch and extremely comfortable with your real self. A no-fluff-just-the-stuff kind of guy, you can stare down anyone, and only back down for the few you choose to respect/honor. You have a heart of steel and possess a rare quality of finishing what you started! === Username: SeanT21 Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=177485 Pix Summary: Black and white photo of Michael Jackson in Charlie Chaplin outfit What your pix says to me: You rock! Those two words pretty much sums you up. You a stickler for high performance, yet, you find time to laugh at yourself; but maybe not as much as you’d love to. You can come across as mean to those you feel you supremely outclass. === Username: agabaI23 Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=302139 Pix Summary: Sports Illustrated cover model in bikini, and lying on the beach What your pix says to me: Your eye dey sumtin wey pass you – This gives you a strong drive; you love to punch above your weight and challenge the status quo. Please remember to hedge your risks and avoid yawa.=== Username: nuzo Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=70085 Pix Summary: "Thief-catcher" Nuhu Ribadu listening (to a lecture?) with headphones. What your pix says to me: You are a loyal go-getter and lionize those who share those traits. You are not quite predictable, and tend to surprise even people that think they know you. You love calmness, as it gives you the feeling of being in charge. === Username: Fhemmmy Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=215226 Pix Summary: Bugs Bunny munching on his favourite meal, a carrot. What your pix says to me: Pleasure and fulfillment rank high on your priorities while active imagination and wordsmithing are your paraphernalia. You struggle with the notion of sacrificing for an unspecified period of time – However, when you’re able to attain an accomplishment, you take the time to lap up every drop. You want to be seen as easy-going. === Username: ifyalways Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=140646 Pix Summary: Funny captions in a molue bus, appropriately called Molue Tales What your pix says to me: You have a raw, in-your-face and unapologetic sense of humour, if people really know you. You are a big picture kind of person driven my vision and purpose. You are less likely to be guilty of myopia, as you have a broad perspective of things. When you find a good cause, you latch on to it like a dog on a bone. === Username: ~Sissy~ Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=282785 Pix Summary: No pix, just words with juxtaposed and unintelligible use of capital and small letters What your pix says to me: You are fiercely independent, or so you want everyone around you to believe. You are an attention-getter and love to make people go, “Hmmm, that’s different!” You definitely run into strong headwind from time to time; people who love things the way they are. Wisdom added to your originality will make you unstoppable. === Username: Hotstepper Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=8241 Pix Summary: Looks like the front view of Canadian Parliament’s Tower of Peace on a bright, cold day (Few days are warm in Canada!) What your pix says to me: One of your key strengths is adaptability – You love the challenge of the unknown, while holding true to yourself. You have a keen eye for fashion and you make a good conversationalist, not by talking but by listening. You know whom/where to stroke to get what you want. A "hotstepper" indeed! === Username: omega25red Profile Pix: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=95153 Pix Summary: A winter night with snow-covered road and cars, and a row of apartment building in the background. Pix caption - Had to take a bus that night What your pix says to me: You are a deeply reflective individual who tries to weigh all options and consequences before making a decision. You are blessed with the memory of an elephant when it comes to counting your blessings (or sacrifices); you can never be accused of being an ingrate. === Please follow thread for others like Kunbee, blackspade, patwhizkid, spikedcylinder, MrCrackles, rasputinn, Kosovo, Thiefofhearts, asha 80, texazzpete, hbabe, Gabry, AccoPen, posakosa, OAM4J, kaypinchi, stillwater, 1forall, rita@NL, Pweety4me, spoilt, bluespice, smile4kenn, jugz, Babasexy, lawyer, lady_hard, hypertech, CuteAngel, palmwine, sweetpie23, NSNA, XKZ, enque, jamace, Amigoz. . . |

@ Poster You are dealing with a very needy person in dire want of emotional and social validation. Assuming she's not diabolical (you cannot know that until it's too late), it is still an unhealthy relationship. People like her will NEVER heed indirect communication - "Haba, are you my husband's second wife?" - Lai lai! No be fight - Make sure your husband is home; maybe in the bedroom, then tell her you dislike being choked like that; list examples. Set the rules of engagement. Fellow church member ko, fellow saint ni! One last thing - Never, ever, absolutely never leave your baby with her; not for a second! Needy people are not balanced. |

| Politics › 1969 UK Ambassador: "Nigerians Choose Maximum Damage To Their Own Interests" by canuck(op): 4:40pm On Oct 19, 2009 |
SOURCE: http://montreal.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20091018/british_diplomats_091018/20091018/?hub=MontrealHome Excerpt - Until 2006, ambassadors retiring from their post or moving country traditionally sent a valedictory dispatch to London, offering their candid personal assessment of the country in which they had served. (In 1969), David Hunt -- then high commissioner to Nigeria -- said the West African country's leaders had "a maddening habit of always choosing the course of action which will do the maximum damage to their own interests." "Africans as a whole are not only not averse to cutting off their nose to spite their face; they regard such an operation as a triumph of cosmetic surgery," Hunt claimed in his letter. _________________________________________________________________________________________ I suppose this is where die-hard NLanders use a single, self-descriptive, and all-encompassing word - GBAM! |

Here are plausible reasons, not an exhaustive list, why I think one may not fly the Nigerian flag abroad: 1) You are an 2) You are low on the totem pole (social status) 3) You still hate your parents for flying back to Naija (from the UK, US, etc), on the 9th-month of your pregnancy 4) You are a "runnings" kinda guy/gal (i.e. fraudster) 5) You just don't want to be responsible for unpredictable 150 million Nigerians 6) You just watched a 3-day CNN Special - Nigerian Frauds In America (Yeye CNN!) 7) You "escaped" from Naija, and don't want anything to do with her . . .And the list goes on. Not good enough reasons though, IMHO. |

@ Poster, obviously you did not experience any of the following issues: 1) Gunshot wounds from trigger happy Olopa 2) If you survive that one - Gunshot/machete wound from dare-devil robbers (Call 911? See #1 above) 3) Serious beating from Navy Ratings or Army 'korofo' for obstructing their oga's way 4) Seven or more days of hanging out with hardened kidnappers 5) If na ritual kidnapping; na bye-bye be dat 6) Watching helplessly as your nation's resources are pilfered, wasted and mismanaged at the same time 7) PHCN decimates your livelihood and leisure O'lboy, the list goes on. Breezing through for 90 days and spending unending days in Naija are night and day. Step 1 - Lift up hand. Step 2 - With all the strength you can muster, slap yourself. Step 3 - Now, you've woken up Despite the struggles, Up Nigeria!!! |
