It appears that cellulite is observable in women of all races. Studies involving women from China, South Africa, Egypt, Brazil, United States, Canada, Mexico, Afghanistan, Russia, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia all report cellulite in women.

Funny thing is while we're here arguing,the money will be paid with a new house thrown in for good measure.Nigeria is the only country I know that negotiates with terrorists.
On the flip side,if this is truly a court ruling then the federal government would have to abide by it or file an appeal.I would suggest the latter

This one already has an inferiority complex from way back. Sorry, try and be more white maybe they will accept you.

What does this crap mean - "dregs of society", "that would not have been in our inner circle", "You know that "those other people"". People who actually have don't speak like this, we were taught that saying such things is undignifying and is for the Ibo traders and people like that.
If we were to go and investigate we would find that she is a product of poor parents, you know those kids that saw others with stuff and could never have any. We understand.

PoliticsObasanjo Begs Boko Haram Leader's Family For Forgiveness by cold(op): 3:54am On Sep 16, 2011
Obasanjo meets Boko Haram leader’s family


Former President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday waded into the Boko Haram crisis, pleading with the family of its leader, Yusuf Mohammed, who was killed by security agents in 2009, to forgive and forget the past.

Obasanjo who arrived Maiduguri, Borno State yesterday morning met the Boko Haram leader’s relations at the family house in Bayan Quarters.

He said the visit was a personal initiative. The former president also visited the home of Baba Fugu Mohammed, Yusuf’s father in-law, who was also killed after reporting to the police during the Islamist sect’s crisis in 2009.

Obasanjo was met by the late Fugu Mohammed eldest son, Baba Kura Fugu. Sources at the meeting quoted Fugu as saying that it was the first time a high profile personality would be meeting with the family after the 2009 extra judicial killings.

Chief Obasanjo asked to be given an opportunity to mediate in the crisis, adding that if granted, he would ensure they were treated fairly and justly by the government.

He appealed to the families to forget the past and allow peace to reign again in Borno State and the nation.
The former president was received on arrival in Maiduguri by the Borno Deputy Governor, Zanna Mustapha.

TV/MoviesRe: Chinua Achebe Forces 50 Cent To Change Movie Titled 'Things Fall Apart' by cold(m): 11:39am On Sep 15, 2011
Vacora:
Correct me if i am wrong but The Roots had an album called Things Fall Apart released on 23rd February 1999 which is considered a hiphop classsic and won a Grammy i believe in 2000. And they admit borrowing the title from Chinua Achebe's work?
Yes they sought for & got permission to use the title.
Things Fall Apart was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album of the same year, losing to Eminem for his The Slim Shady LP.[4] Rolling Stone called it a "top-flight record",[5] while Allmusic cited it as "one of the cornerstone albums of alternative rap."[6] The album takes its title from Chinua Achebe's novel of the same name[7], which in turn took the phrase from William Butler Yeats's poem "The Second Coming".[8] As of April 5, 1999, Things Fall Apart has been certified gold in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Things_Fall_Apart_(album)

If that isn't convincing enough,you can also try this for size.A little education helps;


Things Fall Apart, whose title was borrowed from Chinua Achebe's novel, ended up being the crew's most successful album at the time, as its critical acclaim was, for the first time ever, matched by record sales of over five hundred thousand units.

Power projects at 80% completion, says govt

THE Federal Executive Council (FEC) promised yesterday that under the lifespan of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, power generation and distribution would stabilise at 4,000 megawatts (mw).

The cabinet, which met yesterday in Abuja to receive the report on the power sector from the Presidential Projects Assessment Committee (PPAC), said most of the National Independent Power Projects (NIPPs) to raise the national output to 4,000mw were at 80 per cent completion stage.

I don't even know what to believe any more.The double speak is getting tiring.Same way we read that Lagos state has achieved 80% literacy level,whilst last year it was pegged at 90%.smh  lipsrsealed

Was it no the other day the minister for foreign affairs was insisting that Nigerians aren't been attacked by the rebels?Mthcheeew,smh  sad

Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs says no Nigerian has been attacked or harassed by rebel forces loyal to Libya’s interim government, the Transitional National Council [TNC].

Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru noted that though there have been attacks by some unscrupulous elements on Nigeriens and Malians, the federal government has asked the TNC to check violence against black immigrants.

"We have made necessary contacts and verification, no Nigerian has been harassed or attacked in Libya.

"This development was confirmed by our former Ambassador to Libya. So, Nigerians in Libya are safe.

"I can only add that we can confirm now from the contact made that those attacked were Nigeriens and Malians." Ashiru said.

Suddenly someone who was anti- Assange & bashing him for his poor ethics and for publishing classified American documents have suddenly become a fan.Lol,talk about being consistently inconsistent

Kobojunkie:
It is possible he did not do it for the money or maybe not for the popularity either, who knows. I have a hard time figuring him out as he does not come off as someone who truly cares about the people or the plight of the people. In an interview on his publishing a Kenyan report, he said something like, even though the information resulted in the death of about 1300 people (the 2007 Kenyan election/massacre that ensued) he believed Kenya was better off, than if he had not released the document in the open.
On the stealing and publication of documents not meant for the public domain YET, I think he knew what he was getting into, and even after so many warnings took it on himself to continue and so should be prepared for whatever should follow.
Kobojunkie:
There is freedom of press. . .  even in Nigeria. That is a none issue. Also, computer programmers, especially those who work with governmental agencies understand the amount of power at they hold when it comes to access to data but millions continue to resist that temptation to go against policy . . . to steal data from these organizations.

That assange has the skills, and a passion for journalism is not really enough reason for a man to release information that could potentially plunge the world into war, in my opinion.
Kobojunkie:
The US government currently does not have a problem with the vast amount of information it makes openly available to Americans since there is freedom of information in this country. However, when individuals take it on themselves to STEAL confidential or secret data, then there is a problem and that is where this issue is. Is it OK for individuals to STEAL and then publish information that is not meant to be in the public domain without consequence?
IslamRe: "Bomb Blasts In Nigeria Ridiculing Islam" -Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky by cold(m): 9:49am On Sep 12, 2011
Reptyle:
Boko Haram has killed or attempted to kill every muslim leader that has come out openly to condemn their activities. Recall that most of the northern governors had to apologize publicly to Boko Haram for their complicity in fighting them. This followed threats made on their lives and those of their families. Yuguda of Bauchi State now governs his state from the US even after he issued an "apology" on TV. Ali Modu Sheriff also apologized to them before they lifted the fatwa on him and his family. Even now, he still lives in fear.

None of this northern leaders have the guts to stand up to this guys. The few ones that have come out to speak always end up issuing very tame press releases that wont upset Boko Haram so this clerics's statement is a sharp departure from the norm and I hope he is not digging his own grave. The federal government needs to tackle these guys once and for all!!!
What did he say that is 'a sharp departure from the norm'?That there's no such thing as boko haram?That it's all a figment of our imagination propelled by the evil America.Or did I miss something
