junnyjake:
Yea, I had to make researches of my own lolzzzzzzz. Perhaps this is why story is solid structured, that relationship outside really make them understand themselves better on set.

Wow, I never knew that, do you mean the one Harvey usually have 'morning meetings' with?
Her name is Jacinda Barrett she played Zoey in season 2 they got married in 2004 and they are both 44years old. They are both pretty and young. Their kids are just gonna be perfect.

junnyjake:
Kevin, Frank gallow, Julius. one thing that makes suits stand out is the fact that their cast selection is just perfect, they fit into their roles easily and make it look effortless.
Perhaps, it's because some of them have a relationship outside the set, Harvey's father playing the role of professor Gerald, or Harvey and Donna's friendship of over 20 years before the movie suits was Borne.

I'm still waiting to see my man Travis tarner this season.
Looks like you know a lot about the cast just like myself.
Don't forget Harveys wife playing his on/off girlfriend in season 2.
TV/MoviesRe: Suits TV Series Fanpage (No Spoiler) by Codedrock(m): 1:52pm On Sep 15, 2016
safarigirl:
there's only one black character in their recurring casts, the others you mentioned are in a few scattered episodes, nothing major

You can't compare that to HTGAWM
Do you know the meaning of recurring though? Those scattered in episodes are the recurring.
We have two main roles that are black: Jessica and Rachel.

I'm not born again, but try music. Whenever I want to feel moved, I just rewatch Les Miserables.
Wow.. can't believe Seun has a thing for music. You know It won't be bad if we get to know just little more about you.

A book about your bio and escapades after dropping out would encourage a lot Nigerians like myself.

The only series I can happily invest my time in. Harvey is just fantastic.

I don't like watching the episodes one by one though. I prefer to have like six episodes already released and then I can just download and watch at once.
Me and you are same
Christianity EtcRe: From Atheism To Jesus: My Testimony by Codedrock(m):
Seun:
Ironically, this is a very shallow critique.
Name them.
Mosquitoes provide food for bats,
Mosquitoes pitch in to help pollinate plants.
Anopheles is the major problem not to mention not all mosquitoes bite. And speaking of Anopheles it's quite rare for its bite to kill you only depends on the kind of environment you are in, which means you as a human should know you should stay away from certain environments.
You know what's interesting about being human is because we were made to think and go through activities daily and in order for that to happen there has to problems we should tackle which is what keeps us living. A perfect world like each and every one of us want it with no problems will be very much crazy.
And back to the mosquitoes matter, since you believe everything is by chance why aren't there mosquitoes and other common flies more dangerous than they are right now? i mean there should have been a chance of us having common flies that just one single bite of theirs would lead to death immediately.
I believe you watch sci-fic movies and you must have seen ones where there are beasts that come from other planets more powerful than us humans that could finish the whole world in a couple days. I mean just by chance creatures like this could have existed too that wouldn't give a space for humans to live.
The fact is we are still living and I believe there could have been a worse case than the one we are in right now but there ain't non is there?

If God exists, he must know that sentencing millions of people to death every year and incapacitating many more just to create more work for a smaller group of people is immoral and illogical. Even as a mere human, I can think of many ways to create jobs without killing anybody.
Well, people have to die we were created that way that is why it is "Life" and if we have to die something has got to lead to our death ain't it? Or you think people are not supposed to die while we procreate ? Cos if that's so we will have a world with hundreds of billions imagine how that's gonna look like...
And I think the major fact here is; in as much as the number of death rate isn't more than living rate I believe it is normal. I used to fear death but now if I happen to die by sickness or something I wouldn't blame anybody cos I'm no way better than people who have died the same way.
Any right thinking person should know we live to die so when death comes embrace it maybe all that is the price we have to pay for "life".

And don't use the word "Killing anybody" cos not all sicknesses lead to death.
So let me take a page from your book Seun, would you please tell us a couple ways you can create jobs without hurting anybody.. .


Lots of people have been killed and maimed by animals historically and it still happens, but that's not the point. The point is that deliberately designing animals that must cause great pain and death to other animals in order to survive is cruel and unnecessary.
Sirvival. Yeah, survival in some way may be a good thing and other ways a bad thing.
But the world has to be that way don't it? A man feeding on or a lion feeding on a dog or a dog feeding on a rat or a rat feeding on something else is painful
I Pity a lot of animals all the time, I just can't stand watching a chicken being slaughtered or anything that feels pain like we do get killed it is sad. And I really wouldn't justify this cos I didn't create them.
But not all preys get killed and fed on right? Some still live their entire life span dieing naturally.

The point is, people say the universe around us is so beautiful and thus it must have been designed, but if you look more closely it is not that beautiful. There are lots of nasty things in existence which any designer worthy of our admiration would have left out.
NO NO NO the point is this: Atheist should stop using the universe's design to judge the existence of GOD, why? Cos you didn't design it did you? If you believe he designed it bad, as a thinker you should know that doesn't justify his non existence does it? If he existed (which I believe) he could have done it this same way why? cos he is the designer even if he is wrong or right he probably has his reasons.

Don't get me wrong I'm totally not against atheists or their belief I mean they have every reasons to believe there is no God even more than we that believe there is God, if you are a deep thinker and not a fanatic you wouldn't criticize atheists being atheists nor would you think they are stupid cos in reality their belief is more real than yours.
But that's why we are humans right? We choose to believe what we believe.

SO STOP USING DESIGN To JUDGE THE EXISTENCE OF GOD.

(Don't mind my write-up I'm not a genius writer)

Oh God!! This is why I fucki-ng hate arguing online it takes my motherfucking time!! !

Seun:
What about ugly thing like mosquitoes, malaria, HIV, Ebola and flies that lay their eggs in your eyeballs? What about predators that live to kill? What about African wild dogs that eat their prey alive, subjecting them to long periods of agony before they die? Did God design them too?
Sounds shallow. Mosquitoes have advantages too. Malaria&others =if there ain't sicknesses we won't have doctors.
Predators that live to kill barely kills in this age, everything Is under control not to mention we've been killing them since the beginning.
At the end of day all these make life interesting, unpredictable and in order.

Christianity EtcRe: Is Atheism The Way? I Am Searching For Answers by Codedrock(m): 8:23pm On Aug 15, 2016
Seun:
It's difficult to justify intelligent design rationally. What intelligent designer creates billions of stars just so that he can create life on a single planet revolving around one of the stars? What intelligent designer creates a nerve that travels from a giraffe's brain to its chest and back to it's throat - a distance of several meters - instead of just connecting it directly? Which intelligent designer designs ugly, horrible diseases? It's difficult to justify intelligent design rationally if you know the basics of evolution and cosmology. It's absolutely hilarious, frankly.
@Seun and all atheist that keeps talking about the "bad design" I find it kinda undeep of you guys, you basically judge most things based on your perspective not considering the other's. That's a thing I realized I had to stop doing years ago.

That design is one of the major reasons I am still convinced there is a creator. I mean checking this out from you guys view comparing it with mine I believe most ya'll just study theories earlier atheists laid down and you guys just keep sharing and backing it, I believe many atheist barely try to criticize these theories like I have been critizing the bible since I was young(I'm always like why is this like this?, This seems wrong!) as an 8 year old I've been asking questions in church that most adults wouldn't ask and pastors will answer them but always not up to my taste (Questions like; how a man who was trying to rescue the Ark of covenant got striked to death because it was considered disrespectful, questions like how "God" cursed his own creation, and many others like the ones Seun has posted here on NL about God not being "love"wink and they always wondered how those questions come to me but the thing is i have always been inquisitive and I question everything all the time(even my personal beliefs) . I kept doing that until lately I finally gave up on being religious even though I'm still a Christian.

But thing is: let's talk about the design.

Weeks ago I saw a thread talking about the poor design of God saw the points and I was like this is dumb! Looks like the o.p culled the stuff from Wikipedia or something.
Wanted to reply but I just find it hard to start typing long like you people do I believe in face to face arguments cos it allows me to show and explain my points very well unlike typing.

So speaking of the design: my major point is; "everything is way too organized". I mean there's no way something that came to existence by chance would be that organized.
From the living things to non living things to the ocean and more.. If you think deep you will sure know all these things work together.

I mean speaking of the diseases and abnormalities in the living I believe they were all there to keep things in shape imagine a world where there is no disease no abnormalities (like I saw in that article the o.p posted, the same article I've been looking for that I can't find so as to tackle the points here) , a world with no abnormal weather or whatever it is you guys believe is a bad design. I mean a world like that may just not make sense. I mean all these things work together these things happen for other things to happen. That's just the point.

And Seun concerning your recent post about stars and all that bro this is your first post I kinda find shallow. I mean if you tend to agree there is a creator well his design shouldn't really be questioned by you, should it? why? Cos you don't know how he thinks you don't what he planned, in as much the design is working out like he planned, well, how it was designed and how it should be designed should matter less.

I mean It's just like questioning Kanye West about his crazy fashion designs. He is the designer and he made it for a purpose for people to be able to use them and in as much as people can use them and they are using them the rest really doesn't matter.

A lot I wanna express but ummm.. The writing is just the problem.
Christianity EtcRe: Is Atheism The Way? I Am Searching For Answers by Codedrock(m): 6:53pm On Aug 15, 2016
Seun:
What I want people to embrace is not atheism per se, but reality. If most people in society are making decisions based on reality, they will make better decisions, and society will move forward collectively as a result of that. You won't have things like women dressing like ninjas under the hot desert sun; little girls fainting from the heat and still being forced to keep their ninja attires on. Children being called witches.

Seun i am really loving all these your topics oo.. Even though i still believe there is God, i am so against being religious. bro you are really doing a great job with these topics. I think i was already in transition to being an atheist(after i quit church) before you started your Faith related topics and i have been enjoying them, not to mention we reason the same way. I still choose to believe there is God though.
Been seriously studying that Evolution theory but my abstract thinking ability is just so not agreeing with that right now.

bigfrancis21:
Some of these words listed are not Yoruba. For example, wahala is not yoruba. Baba is not Yoruba as well. Baba originates from India where it is used to refer to 'sir', just as we use it in Nigeria. It has hinduist/Islamic influence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_(honorific). Alibaba.com is a popular website owned by a Chinese man.

'Keke' also is not Yoruba. The tricycle originates from India where it is called Bajaj or Keke. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Gasoline-KEKE_60272954462.html?spm=a2700.7724857.0.0.UPyV43&s=p

Moreover, most of these words are more popular in the Pidgin spoken in Lagos. The Pidgin spoken in the SE and SS, for example PH, Warri etc. has much less of these words and more words from the native languages in the area. For example, in Lagos while people would commonly say Okada in Pidgin, in the SE, people would say 'Inaga' instead. 'Inaga' in Igbo means, 'are you going?', which is literally used to refer to commercial motorbikes.
Lmao.. Pls tell me the yoruba word for father Pls?

But please don't claim pidgin words as yoruba.

SONG IN YORUBA IS ORIN

GBEDU is pidgin

Thanks

Ajebo gotten from Ajebutter is also pidgin

Then again, wahala is hausa which further derived from wahl an
arabic word which means trouble.
You are the funniest guy on nl today... WTF?? U don't know "Aje" in the front of butter is a full yoruba word?? It means "someone that eats" do ur research very well.. Gbedu is a popular yoruba slang.

Jos entry

Jos is a city in the Middle Belt of Nigeria. The city has a population of about 900,000 residents based on the 2006 census. Popularly called "J-town", it is the administrative capital of Plateau State.
The city is located on the Jos Plateau at an elevation of about 1,238 metres or 4,062 feet high above sea level. During British colonial rule, Jos was an important centre for tin mining. In recent years it has suffered violent religious clashes between its Muslim and Christian populations in 2001, 2008, 2010, and 2011.

HISTORY OF JOS

Old Jos

The earliest known settlers of the land that would come to be known as Nigeria were the Nok people (circa 1000 BC), skilled artisans from around the Jos area who mysteriously vanished in the late first millennium.

According to the historian Sen Luka Gwom Zangabadt, the area known as Jos today was inhabited by indigenous tribes who were mostly farmers. According to Billy J. Dudley,[3] the British colonialists used direct rule for the indigenous tribes on the Jos plateau since they were not under the Fulani emirates where indirect rule was used. According to the historian Samuel N Nwabara,[4] the Fulani empire controlled most of northern Nigeria, except the Plateau province and the Berom Mwagavhul, Ng as, Tiv, Jukun and Idoma tribes. It was the discovery of tin by the British that led to the influx of other tribes such as the Hausa, Igbo, Urhobo and Yoruba, thus making Jos a cosmopolitan city.

According to the white paper of the commission of inquiry into the 1994 crisis, Ames, a British colonial administrator, said that the original name for Jos was Gwosh which was a village situated at the current site of the city; according to Ames, the Hausa wrongly pronounced Gwosh as Jos and it stuck. Another version was that "Jos" came from the word "Jasad" meaning body. To distinguish it from the hill tops, it was called "Jas," which was mis-pronounced by the British as "Jos." It grew rapidly after the British discovered vast tin deposits in the vicinity. Both tin and columbite were extensively mined in the area up until the 1960s. They were transported by railway to both Port Harcourt and Lagos on the coast, then exported from those ports. Jos is still often referred to as "Tin City". In 1967 it was made capital of Benue-Plateau State, becoming the capital of the new Plateau State in 1975.

Jos has become an important national administrative, commercial, and tourist centre. Tin mining has led to the influx of migrants, mostly Igbos, Yorubas and Europeans, who constitute more than half of the population of Jos. This "melting pot" of race, ethnicity and religion makes Jos one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Nigeria. For this reason, Plateau State is known in Nigeria as the "home of peace and tourism." Despite this, in 2001, the city witnessed violent riots between the divided Muslim and Christian populations, in which several thousand people died. In 2004, the former governor of Plateau State, Joshua Dariye, was suspended for six months for failing to control the violence. In November 2008, clashes between Christians and Muslims killed almost 400 and wounded many. In spite of the communal clashes, visitors are surprised at the amount of activities still going on in the city. There is still an influx of people into the city and the cost of accommodation and land is still going up daily.[when?] This shows that the city is still one of the most desirable cities in Nigeria, despite the communal clashes.

In January 2011 there were almost daily clashes between Christian and Muslim mobs in villages around Jos since a series of bombs had been detonated during Christmas Eve celebrations a month earlier, killing scores of people. In May 2014, a twin bomb attack in Jos killed 118 people.

Between August 2013 and December 2014, a peace process was undertaken by communities living in Jos. The Jos Forum Inter-Communal Dialogue

ultimately led to a "Declaration of Commitment to Peace" signed by the participating communities (Afizere, Anaguta, Berom, Fulani, Hausa, Igbo, South-South and Yoruba, as well as women who were represented as their own distinct community).

On 12 December 2014 at least 30 people were killed as twin bombs exploded in the central Nigerian city of Jos

Jos north is the state capital and the area where most commercial activities of the state takes place although due to the recent communal clashes a lot of commercial activities are shifting to Jos south. The Governor's office is located in an area in Jos North called "Jise" in Berom language,"Gise" in Afizere(Jarawa) language or "Tundun-Wada" in Hausa language. Jos south is the seat of the Deputy Governor i.e. the old Government House in Rayfield and the industrial centre of Plateau State due to the presence of industries like the NASCO group, Standard Biscuits,Grand Cereals and Oil Mills, Zuma steel west Africa, aluminium roofing industries, Jos International Breweries among others.

Situated almost at the geographical centre of Nigeria and about 179 kilometres (111 miles) from Abuja, the nation's capital, Jos is linked by road, rail and air to the rest of the country. The city is served by Yakubu Gowon Airport, but its rail connections no longer operate as the only currently operational section of Nigeria's rail network is the western line from Lagos to Kano.
At an altitude of 1,217 m (3,993 ft) above sea level, Jos enjoys a more temperate climate than much of the rest of Nigeria. Average monthly temperatures range from 21–25 °C (70–77 °F), and from mid-November to late January, night-time temperatures drop as low as 11 °C (52 °F). Hail sometimes falls during the rainy season because of the cooler temperatures at high altitudes.These cooler temperatures have meant that, from colonial times until the present day, Jos is a favourite holiday location for both tourists and expatriates based in Nigeria.

Jos receives about 1,400 millimetres (55 inches) of rainfall annually, the precipitation arising from both convectional and orographic sources, owing to the location of the city on the Jos Plateau.

Visitors to the city will notice the massive road projects embarked on by the state government. The city boundaries have extended into the town of Bukuru to form the Jos-Bukuru metropolis. The city is home to the University of Jos (founded in 1975), St Luke's Cathedral, an airport and a railway station. Jos is served by several teaching hospitals including ECWA Evangel Hospital and Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), a federal government-funded referral hospital.The Nigerian College of Accountancy, with over 3,000 students in 2011, is based in the Dogon-Dutse area of Jos.

The National Museum in Jos was founded in 1952 by Bernard Fagg, and was recognized as one of the best in the country. It has unfortunately been left to fall to ruin as is the case with most of the cultural establishments in Nigeria. The Pottery Hall is a museum that has an exceptional collection of finely crafted pottery from all over Nigeria and boasts some fine specimens of Nok terracotta heads and artifacts dating from 500 BC to AD 200. It also incorporates the Museum of Traditional Nigerian Architecture with life-size replicas of a variety of buildings, from the walls of Kano and the Mosque at Zaria to a Tiv village. Articles of interest from colonial times relating to the railway and tin mining can also be found on display. A School for Museum Technicians is attached to the museum, established with the help of UNESCO. The Jos Museum is also located beside the zoo.
