7. Big Van Vader

Real Name: Leon Allen White
Ring Name: Big Van Vader
Nationality: American
Debuted: 1985

One thing I love about him is his charisma. He was a worthy opponent to the likes of Hulk Hogan, Warrior et al, he was known for his unique mask.

6. Undertaker

Real Name: Mark William Calaway
Ring Name: Undertaker
Nationality: American
Debuted: 1984

Do not confuse him with Kane!
Who doesn't like Undertaker? He is the king of smackdown I guess. I don't know what he did to his pupil but I believe the reason is psychological; basically to instill fear into his opponents. Once he grabs your neck, often times than not, it signifies the end of the game. He is not retired yet; hence, a huge percentage of us will know him and his skills.

5. Kane:


Real Name: Glenn Thomas Jacobs
Ring Name: Kane
Nationality: American
Debuted: 1992

He is a good wrestler and he doesn't let go easily even in worst defeats.

4. Jake "The Snake" Roberts

Real Name: Aurelian Smith Jr.
Ring Name: Jake "The Snake" Roberts
Nationality: American
Debuted: 1975

One thing that thrills me about him is the snake. He is capable of dominating you with his fists; in most cases, he introduces psychological means and that means letting out his python from the usual burlap sack.

If lala should be a wrestler, he’d be a lalastic ‘the snake’ lala

3. Andre "The Giant" (Late)

Real Name: André René Roussimoff
Ring Name: Andre "The Giant"
Nationality: French
Debuted: 1963
Retired: ‎1992
Cause of death: Congestive heart failure

He was huge and always on his one arm "knickerbocker". He was a major rival of the two above.

2. Ultimate "Warrior" (Late)


Real Name: James Brian Hellwig
Ring Name: Ultimate "Warrior"
Nationality: American
Debuted: November 23, 1985
Retired: November 9, 1998
Cause of death: Myocardial infarction

He is probably Hulk Hogan's arch rival. He hid his face behind a mask which gave him a fierce look and always spoke in cryptic puzzles. Once you see that muscular man with ropes tied around his right and left biceps with a mask concealing his face, be sure Warrior is the man!

For those of us who grew up in the '80s, every saturday morning was a chance to see "wrestling". You'd wanna ask why I had that word in quote. I can categorically tell you wrestling in those days cannot stand what have we in contemporary times. Why not grab a sit while we reminisce over these?

1. Hulk Hogan

Real Name: Terry Gene Bollea
Ring Name: Hulk Hogan
Nationality: American
Debuted: 1977
Retired: 2015

He was my all time favourite. He hardly loses his fights and sometimes avails himself for an enemy to throw punches at him, all in a bid to exhaust the opponent's energy; and when the time is right to get up, no one can stop him except in very few occasions. He enters the ring saluting the east, west, north and south. His major selling point is ripping his clothes off.

Police arrest Nigerian, 3 Thais in latest drug bust

Bangkok Post

27 Mar 2018

POST REPORTERS
Police nabbed a Nigerian and three Thai drug suspects, and seized assets worth more than 16 million baht in the latest crackdown on a transnational crime network.
A raid on the house of one Thai suspect alone — identified as Hathailak Sinthukut — resulted in the seizure of up to 11.6 million baht in assets even though the 28-yearold woman did not have regular work, Tourism Police Bureau deputy commissioner Surachate Hakparn said yesterday.

The assets, included two houses, gold items, land title deeds and three cars, were confiscated, along with more than 2,000 ecstasy pills, 300 grammes of crystal methamphetamine and 20 packs of marijuana.
Pol Maj Gen Surachate defined the last item as A-grade marijuana imported from overseas. Investigators said the marijuana was often sold to customers in Bangkok and in Pattaya.

Investigators were examining Ms Hathailak’s bank accounts to track money trails and transactions, hoping to get new clues in the hunt for more suspects.
Pol Maj Gen Surachate also planned to ask officials from the Anti-Money Laundering Office to conduct a joint investigation.

The investigators suspect parts of the gang’s assets may have been laundered to avoid detection.
Ms Hathailak, along with two Thai fellows, worked for Nigerian national, Onyenekwu Chukwuka Kingsley, 29, who received drugs from a major supplier in another country, according to police investigators.

The Nigerian was arrested on Sunday at a Big C hypermarket in the Rat Burana area, a day after the arrest of Ms Hathailak and another female suspect, Sirinda Khamprathueang, 20, in Nonthaburi.
The two women were arrested in a sting operation in which they were lured into selling 50 methamphetamine pills to a police informant.

The operation followed the arrest of another Thai suspect Sutthiman Samankaeo. The 29-year-old was arrested at Metro Park in the Phasicharoen area last Friday.
All four suspects admitted to selling drugs for more than two years, said Pol Col Sombun Thiankhao, of the city’s Patrol and Special Operation Division.
According to investigators, Mr Kingsley gave the drugs to Ms Hathailak in Samut Prakan. Ms Hathailak then hired Ms Sirinda to deliver the drugs to customers. She received 9,000 baht for each delivery.
Their customers were well-to-do people who bought ecstasy pills, also known as yae, and crystal methamphetamine, or ya ice, at night entertainment venues, police said.

Nutase:
Daewoorazer kindly define the word siblings in the context of your write up.

Nigerians like using words which they do not know the meaning just to show how educated they are.

Professor nutase, I am sure you are the most educated in Nigeria and a very perfect person, of a fact, you don't make typos, however, I make typos and that's what keeps me in check - I'm still human.

Peace

Cc nutase

These are few out of prof nutase’s grammatical blunders. I guess she is a professor of English. Her lexical command of English is perfect I guess

why doesn’t she know the difference between ‘had’ and ‘heard’?

Also ‘family’s’is not the same as ‘families’

1. Living is not leaving
2. She really created a singular vs plural war.

Have you learnt your lesson yet or should I continue?

Sometimes humility and patience will save you from becoming another Mama peace.

Peace!

Lalasticlala and Mynd44, come tell us your age range...

Few days ago, I stressed out some important 7 things every man must know before he clocks 30. Wouldn't it be selfish to end it there?

The link is below should you have missed it.

https://www.nairaland.com/4416982/7-things-every-man-must

This article points out every thing men need to know before becoming a quadragenarian.


1. It is the Beginning of the rest of your life.

According to the latest WHO data published in 2015, life expectancy in Nigeria is: Male 53.4.

http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/nigeria-life-expectancy

It’s safe to say it’s the start of the remaining half. By this time you should draw a map of how you want your retirement to be.

2. Have a business alongside job:

It doesn’t matter if you work as the CEO of Chevron Nig., your business is your physical, financial and intellectual property. You’d retire from government/public job someday but your business is your legacy. One you can fix your children into her board of directors when old age sets in. Learn from Baba Davido.



3. Write your will:

Yes, your will. I’m not wishing you dead neither am I wishing you bad. It doesn’t matter if your life savings is 1 naira, get yourself a good and affordable lawyer and pen it down.

4. Be close to your kids:

At this age, your kids are probably under 10. The love you show them at this age range goes a long way. If you ain’t close to them at this age, it doesn’t matter if you pamper/babysit them for the rest of their lives, they might hate you.


5. Retire from youthful exuberance:

you should be a father by now. If you still sag your pants at this age, or probably still keep 2-5 girlfriends, I’m afraid........



6. Join a social club:

I don’t mean clubs like quilox nor places to drink yourself to stupor. There are clubs where responsible adults meet to play golf, swim and socialize. This gathering is a form of security for you and your wards. Good clubs as such protect their members when sacked from work, solve problems for their members and extend these services to their wards after the demise of their members. Such a good club have members representing all professions in Life; you’d find doctors, military officials, lecturers, motor dealers, engineers etc. It should be a club you can always call on a member colonel to put your son who is passionate about military through. It should also be a club you can easily get a member SAN/lawyer to help you do your legal sturvz. NEVER a place to practice occult activities.
If you still don’t get the picture by now, I’m afraid...

7. Know your medical menace:

At this age you should have an idea if you are tending towards diabetes or obesity. Your knowledge of this will keep you abreast of possible old age menace. Don’t wait until you start seeing ants waiting with straws to gulp down your urine before you realize you have a family history of diabetes. It’d be too late sir!

Once again, It is the beginning of the rest of your life, it is your call, even though you are a billionaire, to live it like RMD or a vegetable. The ball is in your court.


Add yours!

Opentokwowledge:
Well, I admit I didn't read that part but I think you should also take your own advice. My contribution was more emphatic than critic

You made a very good point sir. Can I call you my prof?

Opentokwowledge:
That Number 3 is not too correct oh. Who will till the soil, breed the fish and send the yam to the municipal if every young adult drift to the cities? ... The important thing is that wherever you are, make sure you're making positive impacts towards development by being productive! Gaskiya!!

Your excellency, always endeavor to read between the lines, it will save you even during exams. The article mentioned ‘save for farmers...’

beekayz:
I can't thank you enough, thanks alot for this piece..
And one last thing please, though am writting this letter asap tomorrow but paraventure I couldn't get it approved hope I won't have problem at the camp? ( affidat will be with me there though).

I am even ready to let go this batch maybe I can get the letter approved so I can go with the next batch after the senate must have corrected it.

Nah....since you are with the affidavit, kindly march majestically into that camp....
All the best brother otondo

beekayz:
Oh I understand now sir.. But my scripts all in school bears that one with jamb own. If possibly I write senate and they grant me, won't it affect when I apply for transcript cos it will still bear same name.

I earlier told you to copy your HOD and Dean....

Means you write through your HOD and your dean

Make 4 copies

One for yourself
One for HOD
One for Dean
One for Senate

beekayz:
Thanks alot.. I got your mail, I have just one more question? I asked it there already, about wetting to senate to correct what?

To correct your name to that which is on your waec certificate because when you apply for jobs or perhaps postgraduate studies, you’d be required to present your certificate alongside Waec etal.

The earlier you write senate to correct this anomaly before your certificate is out, the better sir

Kindly edit my email sir, God bless.

beekayz

beekayz:
Can I have your email please??

@gmail.com

beekayz:
Please can I call you, please drop your number pls �

Not in NIG....u can email me though

If senate has sent your name to NYSC, it’s gonn be difficult....otherwise,

1. Swear affidavit
2. write an official letter to the senate while you copy your HOD and Dean...attach the photocopy of the affidavit

Then disturb the clerk to effect your case ASAP....it is well ok?

Johnson5258:
Good day writer, this is indeed great. May God direct you too in Jesus Name!

Good day sir! God bless you!

1. Days of little beginnings:

To every individual is unique print pattern. It doesn't matter which of your mates you graduated university with neither does it which of them now works with Total NG, at the end what matters is the integrity of what you do, it will payoff someday! It doesn't matter if you hawk gala on the streets today, the disaster therein is complacency. Be proud of what you do, be hardworking, and always improve on yourself; if you don't believe me, read about the Ghanian teacher who taught computer lessons by drawing them on board.

2. Never settle for less when you are still hustling:

The best time to show who you are is when you are still "in the making". If anyone steps on your foot, let the person know immediately. This is the time you can have your shoulders high up; you know why? The best friend of wealth is humility. Once wealth comes in, the wise ones know a slap from a boy of 12 years should be followed by "thank you sir/ma".

3. Leave parent's house:

Nowadays, the greatest fear of an average Nigerian man is the fear of the unknown; all thanks to the Nigerian economy. Staying under your parent's roof equates complacency and definitely you'd never be ready to throw stones at the fruits the life tree presents. Get out there and marvel you can actually feed yourself, probably even do more.

4. Leave the suburbs:

I do tell my friends this "...save being a farmer or for official reasons, what reason would a 21st century unemployed young man give for living in the villages?" Inspiration comes from seeing what magnificient projects your mates handle in the society. You claim nothing works yet you are enjoying akpu and palmwine in the village? Go out to the city and make yourself relevant. Information is power!

5. Its not always Nigerian Masters after BSc:

This is what I do tell people. Save the fact you currently work for a company and the portfolio of the office you hold supports improvement educational wise, kindly invest the money on a good and lucrative business. Make sure you do your homework well. If my parents had given me money for masters, I'd never dash it out to our poor educational system that adds nothing to the life of an average graduate. Life isn't about competition, many of your mates will rush to do masters even PhD after BSc, be intelligent enough to know what is next.

6. There is no right age for marriage:

Do you have a dream taking your time at the moment? Please invest all your energy in it. Never bow to pressure. It doesn't matter whatever tales have been told to your hearing; yes, they will surely tell you your friend's children will call you brother lagbaja. What matters at the end is the places your children can confidently march into and that which theirs cannot. Do not forget so easily how you wished you were some kids in your elementary school.

At the end if the perks of being married debars your life pursuit, the same people will be the ones to mock you! Be wise!

7. The power of life and death lies in the hand of a woman (not literarily).


It is safer not to marry than do and physically assault your wife. It does nothing but reduces man to nothing. As a young man, never take women seriously and do not kill yourself for a woman, the right woman will actually expend less of your energy and money.
