what's the difference between assault and accident?
My guy, don't be myopic. Look at the big picture

If I want to give a thousand examples of our useless judiciary system I COULD but I don't have the liver to go through the experience of gathering such huge data just to open your eyes


Ibinabo hit and killed an individual who wasn't crossing any road. The person she killed didn't fling himself in front of her car. The person was a sane individual with responsibilities and a family.

Ibinabo 'drove' her 'drive' and killed him. It was either she couldn't drive properly, she made a mistake with the controls of her vehicle or that vehicle was not road worthy. Whichever one it was, in saner climes she would have been jailed.


What you are implying by asking me that question is that any person with a 'learners permit' who happens to run over someone should be left alone because it's manslaughter. Is that what you're trying to tell me?

I know you will sell both your family, cultural heritage and brains to get to wherever. That's why you don't even believe in the idols your ancestors worshipped. To you they were 'prehistoric men' and you are the 'evolved' generation.

I wonder what your own descendants will look back and see you as.

I could also sell many things to get out of 'this sh1t hole' too and I would . . . But I can never betray my religion.

So your position is that people should simply continue believing things because the people around them do? That is a sure-fire way to remain small-minded.

Imagine the millions of Muslims using this same type of social control to justify staying in Islam.


You seriously think people are becoming atheist because we think it's cool? Lol that is a very interesting perspective. I mean, if you think we're cool then just tell us straight up.


*A growing minority smiley


Why should we? Where are the facts?

There are over 6000 mythical dragons yet you refuse to believe any of them! Heretic!

That's how silly you sound. Why should anyone believe anything that isn't clearly evidenced?


What proof do you have that our consciousness exists independently of our brains? Show me consciousness occurring without a living, functioning brain and then I will understand how silly it is to think that our consciousness shuts off at death along with our brains.


You need to believe in an invisible sky-father in order to have purpose in your life? Why?

Why do you find it impossible to appreciate your existence without the promise of immortality?
I just have to see you standing in front of me, posing, opening your mouth and asking me these questions, thinking you're 'cool' . . . lol I will soo laugh at you. You're a comedian

You sit behind books, tv and the Internet and believe you know everything there is to know about this world we live in but I pity you.


For you to think that out of the million different species of life on this planet, you were born a human being. . . JUST LIKE THAT. . . Speaks volumes of your IQ


Well, I know what you're missing in your life and it's called FAITH. . . every human being who has religion has it

Keep on growing your minority, US religious folks don't mind the comedy
CelebritiesRe: Koffi Olomide Arrives At The Makala Prison In Kinshasa, Congo (Video) by Conner44: 2:04pm On Jul 27, 2016
Nigeria remains the most lawless zoo in the world.

See small Congo of how many years? This man committed the offense not up to a month ago in another country and he is now in jail in his own country for it. Why can't our judiciary emulate such?

Once you're a famous celebrity or politician or stupidly rich in Nigeria you can't go to jail, highest DSS/EFCC gives you house arrest or remind you in 'protective' custody and keep your case open in court till the presiding judge either dies or vacates that position.


Take the case of our lovely looking actor, Ibinabo who ran over someone a while ago killing the person. Everyone heard about it yet nothing was done, she even went out the next week uploading smiling selfies as if it was her Phantom twin that murdered that person. Nobody talks about her issue anymore now except the grieving family and her own lawyers who smiled to the bank.

See Koffi, just for kicking he is in jail. Now tell me why someone without fear will loot 1kobo in that country?


If we go on like this Nigeria will not hold up much longer. I fear for our kids yet unborn.
Christianity EtcRe: A Simple Question For Atheists by Conner44: 1:57pm On Jul 27, 2016
Brothers and sisters, please leave all these our Nigerian atheists alone. They can only come on the Internet to say the thrash they keep tied down in their minds.

Their parents and siblings are religious, it's just that they may have traveled to one mumu oyibo country and abandoned attending church for a while then begin to believe they are atheists

If they are in their parents or guardians or relatives presence they won't dare attack religion, you will see them chanting and praying because they don't want to be ridiculed.

See and hear them Telling themselves lies up and down. Pour hot water on them by mistake and hear them scream 'Jesus' like he's the one that did it.

Everybody in this modern age likes copy copy, because Bill Gates, Zuckerberg and Co claim they are atheists everybody wants to feel among as if it will make them successful too.

Leave them jor, they are a minority in our existence. Over 100 different gods but they choose not to believe any of them. Instead believing that when they die their consciousness will just off like when nepa takes light during world Cup and no generator to backup.

If I happen to meet an atheist I will laugh at them, it's funny thinking that they missed being born an ant or elephant and instead became a human being 'just like that' to live without purpose or significance until the day they die and that's the end of their chapter in existence.


Leave them oo, they have much data on their phones to sacrifice for stupidity. Don't trade yours like they do.

Wow . It now makes sense . He has never been against Islam but always against Christians - this explains the anti-Christian campaign . Always seeing news about Christians converting to Islam on front page never the other way round .
Now you're seeing the light


You all keep wondering why only Muslims get a section dedicated to them while the Christians battle with atheists all day

Well I don't blame our African atheists, most can't understand the Islamic Bible or hadiths well enough to criticize it and they therefore shy away from engaging them there with their usual tomfoolery


That's another reason why it's common to see more Christians dropping religion than Muslims too

If christians dont know that nairaland is anti christian and has a subtle atheistic propaganda, then smh.

Try opening a thread titled "Born-again pastor lays hands on naked woman" and attach a dubious link. It would make front page within seconds.

Open another named "Pastor engages in charity", it will rot here.

Please open your eyes and see for youself what is really going on.
Why do you guys always presume that the owner of this website is an atheist?

The man is a Muslim. It's glaring.

Thanks for the post. So to rectify the issue I have to reformat my pc thereby losing all my apps, data and settings?


That's messed up because I actually bought the ram because of an application I use which required it. I have never reformatted this pc since I got it 2 years ago and now because of new RAM I have to wipe it clean?

So anyone with a PC with above 3GB RAM must be on a 64bit setting?

PhonesRe: Wondered Why The First Infinix Device With Qualcomm Chipset Was Taken To Kenya? by Conner44: 3:11pm On Jul 23, 2016
bongolistik:
Till this moment many folks out there don’t know that Infinix have produced their first and only android device with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.

And yes Infinix Hot 3 LTE variant is the first and only Infinix device that came with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and not MTK as it used to be.

But the reason behind the lack of awareness of the Infinix Hot 3 LTE device with Qualcomm chipset is because Infinix had the first variant of the Infinix Hot 3 X554 that is without swag dumped here in Nigeria and kept the Hot 3 LTE with juicier specs in Indonesia.

Later on, Infinix went ahead to boycott Nigeria and took the first and only Infinix device with Qualcomm chipset to the shores of Kenya and as we speak the device is currently selling in Kenya for about Ksh11,699 which is equivalent to about N36,000.

Now, have you ever wondered why Infinix boycotted the Nigeria market that is supposedly going to be a larger market for higher sales of the product but went ahead to take it far away to the Eastern African country of Kenya?

We cannot really figure out the rationale behind such move but it also reminded us of the latest PayPal move that also boycotted Nigeria and went ahead to open full PayPal fund reception to Zimbabweans.

Car TalkRe: I Just Saw Why your car ABS Can Save your Life. by Conner44: 2:35pm On Jul 23, 2016
Homguy:
I was travelling yesterday, from Owo to Ilesha. Just leaving Ogbese towards akure airport, an oncoimg car while trying to dodge a large crater on the road suddenly left its lane and faced the vehicle in front of mine. It was a tight call,the car ahead immediately swerved off the road and in a split moment reaction i braked and swerved only to find i had lost my steering control with the car skidding off into the bush. Being a car equipped with ABS, i would expect to still have some steering control while hard braking. But alas i saw my self rushing through the bush only a small ditch stopped the car. I felt guilty my ABS light has been on, and i hadnt bothered about rectifying it. Luckily no serious damage was done to the car, just scratches to my clean paint cry .I intend to fix all before travelling any long distance with this car again.
Please house whats they first step ? This is ONDO state not lag. Its difficult finding any Kazeem that knows what an ABS is. I am in Owo presently, any advice or recommendation woul be appreciated.

Car is a 2004 Kia Optima Ex 2.4l i4.
Op edit your heading to 'HOW' and not 'WHY' it saves lives.

We all know ABS is installed in cars to save lives but few people know 'HOW' it does it and not 'WHY'

PhonesRe: MTN And Their 'One Chance' Promos (pics) by Conner44(op):
Can you imagine that i called them up this morning and a call centre assistant informed me (after allegedly cross checking the info available to him) that the promo was wrong. He told me that it was only valid for 7 days against the 14 days i saw on the advert and that the same USSD code is correct.

I told him the code is not working for me and i am seeing an advertised validity of 14days, but he wont believe me. He started asking many unnecessary questions like what plan i am on e.t.c . He said i should load extra N500 and opt for the N1000 plan which gives 300MB and N3,500 to call all networks valid for 14 days if the validity was my issue . . . imagine! that i should play 'baba-ijebu' on their network again oh! after the last USSD code didnt work?

He then told me that if the USSD code was giving me an eror i could still send a message to activate the same promo on my sim. The code i was given was to send 'V300' to 131 FOR THE SAME ADVERT OH (minus 7 days validity as it was a mistake from their part). Okay na, i then sent the message after i hung up and literally DIED of RAGE. See the screenshot below to see what the robbers gave me and took my N500 (after advertizing thrash)

long story short . . . MTN are thieves and have confused fellows handling their adverts and promos. I just called customer care again to complain but got another random guy, i was so livid i cussed the guy and hung up.

I don port go AIRTEL for now, at least these ones no dey lie lie anyhow

PhonesMTN And Their 'One Chance' Promos (pics) by Conner44(op):
I was working late into the night and my internet data got exhausted. I needed to finish what i was working on so i started looking for an alternative.

I had an etisalat and mtn sim, i since etisalat was not too strong in my area i decided to instead look towards renewing my MTN data subscription. As i was checking my call credit balance i once again saw a promo which MTN had been offering which i earlier ignored. Since i only had to save the work and upload to my dropbox i opted for their advertised promo. I called up a friend at this unholy hour and he sent me some airtime.

I loaded the required N500 and then proceeded to activate my MTN awoof bundle but alas, MTN reminded me that their own things dey usually get 'K' leg. The darned USSD code will not even work at all . . . i mean, this is something they had been advertising for weeks.

Now i am stuck and will go to bed angry. Tomorrow morning any MTN call centre agent i call up and abuse should forgive me.

CareerRe: What Factors And People Aided Your Choice Of Course Of Study/Profession? by Conner44: 9:18am On Jul 11, 2016
Jamean:
Hey guys, happy holiday.
I wish the moon can wait like this every year grin

So... just a little play and throw back time to cool off for the holiday. Friday ain't far though.

This thread will be about sharing our reasons for choosing a department in high school, the factors and people that aided your choice of course of study even though you ended up not practising it.

For me, I grew up being very organised and always wanted to be able to account for whatever I had and plan for what I needed. In junior secondary I did very well in all subjects save for Music (those musical notes were like rocket science). I remember enjoying my shorthand, Introductory Technology drawing, my fine art designs and sketching a skeleton in Integrated Science.  smiley So, in a way I was well to do on every side. Subtly, I  had settled within me to study Physiology for the awe of the workings of the human body, the ecosystem and other living organisms I learnt from Integrated Science. Till the nightmare of balancing equation and all those chemical shii came up. I had 2 of my teachers explain the topics to me but to no avail.

I knew not understanding chemical components was gonna be trouble for me in Chemistry so I settled for Commercial dept when it was time to choose. I wasn't completely happy about this decision. Meanwhile, my clique of friends all went to science department. At the beginning of 3rd term I had made up my mind to switch to Sciences and discussed with my mum to come speak with the school management. I went ahead to collect notes of the prior terms from my closest friend (of blessed memory) in Science dept so I can catch up with what they had done.

Well, he influenced me to come his house. Unknowing to me that he had told his elder sister who was a chartered accountant to advise me to remain in commercial department and be my best there. The set up worked and I had a counsel of my life and that was the last day I ever pondered on being a science student.

Unfortunately, He died at the end of that term. I finished high and studied accounting at the university. Today, I practice as an accountant and I love every bit of it.

So... who's next, let's hear your story.  smiley
Since I was small I like money. I already said to everyone who would ask that I wanted to be a Banker.

I went straight to commercial class and aced it. I wrote poly jamb, jamb and aced it. Got admission on merit to study accounts and poly and banking at uni. I chose banking. And it was good.


Fast forward to 3rd year, I was a computer nerd. I learnt computers stuff from here and there so fast within my undergraduate days, I was questioning myself by my final year if I might have chosen a wrong career path. It made me lose some focus in studies But all the same I pushed on.

Now I've made up my mind to study further and return to get a degree in ICT. Hopefully an advanced degree because I have my own practical experience plus the zeal to learn



It's a wonderful thing when someone discovers his/her talent at a young age. Parents and teachers are supposed to be the ones monitoring to see if they can spot them in children on time too. With focus if they build on it that child will be great no doubt.



Look at people who achieve major stuff in modern computer technologies I the world today, many did their magic before hitting their 30's. It's happening because they started very early.


Over 80% of schools in Nigeria don't have a standard computer lab/room, children with affinity to developing thunderstorms on computers can't shine if they don't go to the right schools.
Car TalkRe: Theft! Too Common With Toyota Especially Corolla And Camry by Conner44: 6:36pm On Jul 09, 2016
It's not that I hate Toyota brands, it's just that I've not been erotically drawn to any before (both suv and sedan) maybe except for the 05/06 avalon ONLY. I don't like past or future designs of that model.


I mean, there are cars that as you see their front coming you would just like to turn your head and look at when the zoom past you. Apart from that particular avalon model year I don't bother twisting my neck for any Toyota.
Car TalkRe: Theft! Too Common With Toyota Especially Corolla And Camry by Conner44: 2:14pm On Jul 09, 2016
What is this again? Why always complaining of those cars getting robbed? Is it unusual? It's something that is bound to happen giving the condition of our citizenry


Ask anybody who car to buy as first car. . . Ask which is easy to maintain . . . Ask which consumes lowest fuel ever. ..

Nigerians like Toyota, so why won't the robbers like it better? Don't you know Nigerian car thieves don't like to export their market?


Till we accept to try other alternative brands more often I see that those cars will still be hot cake to those crooks. That's why I can never buy any of them no matter what.

That, plus they look too 'just there' for my taste. I never fantasized about any camry or corolla brand in my life. I prefer a golf4 to camry 2.2 and golf 5 to spider 07-11. If the corolla isn't XRS I won't even see it if I'm standing in front of it (no matter the year). Toyota is not even trying with the way they are designing the new models.

Final fantasy 7 & 8,
all the Tomb Raider series.
They dont make games difficult anymore so sad....
When I was in jss2 I had a friend who was living near me and we went to the same school together.

After much persuasion my friends mom decided to send down a ps1 for him from USA. She send 3 games, rayman3, resident evil directors cut and final Fantasy 7

My friend was angry, who no football? What is final Fantasy? We tried the game and it looked like crap, we wondered at the waste (3 whole cds) that could have been other games. My friends mom won't send anything till the following year for him so no hope of new games

We used 3 months to finish rayman, sweet game

Used around 3 months for the resident evil

We didn't think of touching that final Fantasy, not until my friends elder sis started playing it. I would come around and be drawn to the thing. I mean it actually looked 'somehow' from the rayman and other adventure games I knew then

That girl played it for 1 week and we took over the save from her lol we made it a rule that nobody would play the game except the 3 of us were together. THE GAME WAS TOO SWEET I found myself staying late at their home more often and I took the occasional scolding boldly with a smile


Then I would come to school and wait till break to go and find my friend for the latest gist on clouds adventures. That time when tifa died my friends sis actually cried. . . It was epic


I love to play a remake of final Fantasy 7, it's my best game of all time till date. I've played many games but none made me feel as FFIV did

TV/MoviesChris Evans Has Stepped Down As Host Of Top Gear by Conner44(op): 6:57pm On Jul 05, 2016
Its official, Chris Evans has stepped down as host of “Top Gear.” Evans took to Twitter to announce his departure from the show, stating that he gave it his best but that sometimes the best isn’t enough. He continued by saying that the team is “beyond brilliant” and that he wished them all well. It isn’t known yet who will replace Evans on “Top Gear.”


In his own words:

✔@achrisevans

Stepping down from Top Gear. Gave it my best shot but sometimes that's not enough. The team are beyond brilliant, I wish them all the best.



 Last week, rumors of drama surfaced, with the British outlet The Telegraph reporting that Matt LeBlanc, Evans’ co-host, was threatening to quit the show if Evans didn’t go first. There were also reports from sources close to the show that Evans was rude on set and frustrating to work with. Since the departure of the original trio of hosts, the new season of “Top Gear” has been hit by multiple scandals and controversies, including the resignation of the show’s executive producer, Lisa Clark, who claimed that Evans was “tyrannical.”

Looming above all of this are numerous reports that Evans is under renewed scrutiny about claims of sexual harassment dating back to the 1990s. It isn’t clear to what degree this motivated Evans to leave the show, but it may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back on an overall tenuous tenure as lead presenter.

Ever since the new season launched, the number of people watching “Top Gear” has dropped. One of the more recent episodes only received 2.34 million views, which was lower than the previous lowest record of 2.36 million in June 2003. In addition to the alleged issues between Evans and LeBlanc, other hosts weren’t thrilled with his leadership either.
