If your bae bought you a PS4. Will you be pissed that it's not even expensive? Is the anchor of your life based on how expensive something is?
RomanceA Story That Shows That Love Is a Bad Guy Err...Or Girl. by dastudent(op): 9:11pm On Feb 14, 2017
In a galaxy not so far away, I stood in the command centre of the ‘Sinero’ (don’t ask i have no idea why we named it that either) and took in the sights I was privy to through the strong Plexiglas that stood between us and outer space.

The space station was the pride and joy of our defence corps; it has regularly been defined as the sturdiest structure in the world. We were probably the most elite force in the world but we didn’t even have a name; we just kinda called ourselves the defence corps. That was it, but we were feared and revered all over the world.

I stood in the control room manning operations as analysts and techies jabbed at their little systems checking that everything was in order. I expected an easy day, most days were easy days, we weren’t attacked much and the times we were, we were more than capable of neutralizing the threat.

Our job was simple: to defend our thriving community simply called ‘Human’. We were the first and last point of defence. The full weight of our job was felt every day, because if anything got past us, Human was doomed. So we took great pride in our duty, we were confident in our abilities and steely in our resolve.

I sipped from my cup of coffee and savoured the bitter taste as it went down my throat. The space station had the best coffee anywhere in the galaxy; no one could claim to have it this good.

Oh, manners! I never did introduce myself

My name is Commander Common Sense. I’m probably the first female to have achieved that rank and I carried it with great pride. I had over ten years of experience with the defence corps. Unlike most women that made it to higher ranks due to service in other sectors of the corps, I had done mine as a soldier. I had been on the battle field and faced monsters that would make the hairs on one’s head tingle. I was part of the crew that had once battled Greed and his minions as they tried to infiltrate our community. I had the battle scars to back my claim and therefore I was deserving of all the respect I got.

The room was a quiet buzz of activity; i knew some of it was simply because I was around as I was reputed as a bit of a ball-buster. I didn’t mind the title so much, as long as you did your job, odds were we would get along fine. I liked to think of myself as firm but fair, we were a unit that had a monumental task in defending Human and I understood what that meant more than most people.

“Commander.”

I broke away from my reverie to face the person speaking; it was Snow, a young newbie. I liked his earnest face and honest eyes, I think I unnerved him a little as his voice always shook slightly whenever he spoke to me and he always seemed to stare at the scar beside my lip. I didn’t mind, it reminded everyone that i was a warrior and extremely competent at my job.



“Yes?”

“Generals Reason and Logic relayed that they will be back on board soon, ETA fifteen minutes.”

“That’s alright,” I said, “Thanks Snow.”

His eyes widened a bit but went down immediately. I suspected he was surprised that i remembered his name. As a newbie, I guess he expected not to be reckoned with, but i had watched him and he was diligent and ready to work. He’ll go far.

********************

Generals Logic and Reason were legends in our community. They were the warrior brothers that every warrior aspired to be. They had triumphed in countless battles, were brilliant tacticians and fierce fighters. They were the youngest duo to have made the rank of general and it showed in their personalities. They were restless and always battle hungry. They still embarked on missions together. I was older than they were but i recognized their prowess and i accepted them as superiors but they were humble men, they still deferred to me in a lot of matters and for that they had my further respect. Even this transmission was unnecessary but they did it anyway. We all got along well

They had gone out to investigate wreckage we had seen and ascertain if there were any clues as to what had attacked the ship. From the last transmission, they said that they had gathered nothing but that whatever had hit that ship was quite nasty indeed. I wasn’t too worried; there was nothing we couldn’t handle.

“Commander?”

I turned again, this time I was being addressed by Seth Trundle

“Yes?”

“Err, we have an unidentified object closing in on the ship…It’s about three thousand metres out”

Three thousand metres!

That shouldn’t be possible, our radar usually picked up unidentified objects at a range of five thousand meters.

“Let me see that.”

As he had mentioned, there was an object closing in on the ship, and fast. Was it a missile? But from who? The speed of the object was way too fast for anything I’d seen before.

“Can someone get me a visual of that thing?”

“On it commander” said Snow. This had grabbed the attention of the other techies and they began to gather to see what our ‘unidentified object’ was. We all stared at the screen as it came to life showing what looked like a red blur careening in our direction

“What the hell is that thing?” asked Hank

“Some sort of meteor perhaps?” said Trundle.

“Give the order to fire on it,” I said.

“You sure Commander?” asked Trundle. In reply i fixed him with a nasty gaze. He gulped and relayed my commands. Seconds later i saw a missile head towards the object

Closer.

Closer.

“Impact, Commander.”

I smiled, “Well that should be that,” and then I turned away.



“Err Commander…” There was nervousness in Trundle’s voice that i didn’t quite like. I turned back to stare at the screen to see the object still racing towards the ship, it was less than a thousand meters out now.

“What the…Fire! Fire! Fire!”

A hail of missiles flew at the object hitting it but to no avail, it was still coming

“Zoom in on the damned thing!”

“Yes sir,” said Snow and he zoomed in.

I gasped

“What is it Commander?” asked Snow, he sounded more unnerved than usual, i didn’t blame him, i never gasped.

I wanted to answer him, i really did, but what was i going to say? I myself couldn’t believe what i was looking at.

“What is that thing Commander?” asked Trundle this time

“I…err…”

I was at a loss. I had to calm down, so i took a deep breath, focused on them and answered.

“That people, is Love”

this currency can not and will never be the currency of the future stop wasting your valuable resources on worthless deals that will soon burst. it is scam from the Asian world that have not been accepted by any country of the world or listed as a stock

who determine the exchange rates of this currency? one thing i am very sure of is that it will be frustrated by the USA it can never see the light of the day.

As for mmm the issue is not coming back but how can the come back be sustain. we all agreed that there is no central account anywere the money comes from we the participants. there is ratio inbalance between GH and Ph, 75% of the participant in this schem have there money traped. with enough panic in the system who will be willing to bridge the GH gap, where is the money going to come from? it will be a miracle for mmm to boune back again. I belive in miracle
It's funny how people don't know what Bitcoin is. What will burst is the lies they feed you about Bitcoin in Nigeria. Bitcoin is used on the dark web by drug lords and people who want to sidestep the governent tracing their commercial activities. So Bitcoin is safe. What is in trouble is people investing in what they do not know.

@BiafraBushboy, I read you article from beginning to end and all I could notice repeatedly was "writer... writer... writer". No pprofessional article writer writes like that.


In my four years experience of writing for various clients, I've learnt one valuable lesson: Never use words repeatedly. It makes your article seem superficial instead of indepth. Instead, look for synonyms that you can use to replace the word.

For example, you can replace writer with "content creator", "freelancer", "wordsmith", "penman", litterateur, scribbler etc.

Except it's required by your client, do not use words more than 5 times in an article. I don't mean words, like is, as ,you, I, and the other pronouns. I mean bigger words that you cn easily get their synonyms.

Gracias,

WebmastersRe: A Comedy Blog; Will It Get Traffic? by dastudent(m): 7:06am On Jul 03, 2016
Viral content drives traffic. Even if it is jokes for kids. Just make sure you know that your target audience are not kids. Plus you will need to drive traffic from social media.

To build such a blog, you will need at least $500 for Facebook ads and consistency of 7 posts per day.

Your content does not have to be your original idea but you need to rewrite any content that you see, which looks like what you can post on your blog. You might also need to pay twitter influencers to promote your content.

Case in point: Emannuela; Mark Angel was getting views of between 10k to 20k views on his youtube channel before he included Emmanuela . What is driving the traffic is not that the videos are exactly funny. It's more about the quality of the sound, the subtitles and the fact that she is a kid in an African setting. Also the idea that Africa is known for poverty and that a girl who is supposedly in a poor Neighbourhood can be funny. So people think it is cute and they can relate with her.

So,you can blog about what you want to blog about as long as people can relate with it.

Can you share a sample of your jokes?

jennyswt:
Good day all. I've always read good stories about the wonders of shea butter especially in fading stretch marks. So I decided to try it out on my thighs n butt. (NB:I only have a few lines of stretch marks on my thighs. I guess I just wanted it to b flawless). So I researched about it n only found positive tales and testimonies from people. I didn't see no side effect or allergy o. In fact, I wouldn't have believed if someone tells me it can have side effect cos of the way people praised it. So I abandoned my cream and commenced using shea butter last yr Dec. After about 3wks,i broke out in hives. Very itchy. I ran to the hospital immediately cos I don't joke with my health and the doctor initially thought it was an infection. After the test he found out it was an allergy. He prescribed loratadine. I still have the hives after taking it. I now bought benadryl ( an OTC drug). I can't deny the fact that there were some positive changes anyway but I can still see those ugly scars from the hive and it itches too. I don't know if anyone have experienced a similar allergic reaction due to shea butter, pls should tel me how you cured yours completely because I'm really uncomfortable with the itches and it's very embarrassing.
I have the same challenge right now.

Inspinia:
I no longer know what to do. We have been together for 8 months and I want to marry her quickly. I have my reasons. She has been my childhood crush for years and now that she gave me a chance I don't want it to slip away. Many guys flock around her so before one asks her to marry him I had to do it first. And she is very responsible and definitely not a fling.

But I have problems with her aggression. A little thing she picks an issue with it and starts dishing out hurtful words to me. I always try to apologise and make her happy even when she is wrong not me just so she will be calm. It was working before now it no longer works. Whenever I try to make her happy she gets more angry and tell me I'm trying to patronise her. If I take her out on shopping she will be so angry that I'm trying to buy her with money that I don't love her.

My fellow brothers, what do I do? There was a day I had to invite my sister to come talk to her as woman to woman talk this lady pulled the belt on her jeans and began to assault my sister I'm grateful to God that I was there even my left eye is still bruised wth the way she hit me too that day. And the worst of it all is every-time she gets more angry and more violent.



I threatened to call off the wedding thinking it will make her rethink but it didn't instead she got angry that day and pushed me against the wall. God saved me because if there was knife or bottle around that day with the way she was angry sh could have used any on me.

Please I need assistance from matured minds. I love her so much that I don't want to call off the wedding I want her to be wife but her aggression is too much. She get angry easily. She out-rightly told me no sex till marriage and I can't do anything about because she seems stronger than I am (Yes she works out a lot. Perhaps because she is a model or so i don't know)

I need help.
Bros, if you are not happy, walk away. I was close to saying that the fact that you never saw the aggression while chasing her is weird then i thought about just having a crush on someone, begging her and that being the only thing that you were focused on then.

Oga, you don't owe her nothing. A person's character is not defined by how flirty or virginised or no sex kini she is. The question you should ask yourself is simple "Are you willing to live the rest of your life in the bondage of a woman that clearly takes you for granted"...

If you leave her, yes she will cry into another man's arms cursing and telling him how all men are wicked (in another man's arms oo)


You said she works out because she is a model and basically, her beauty and hard ass hell body is very kinikan to slip out of your arms. Don't let that,pity and fear cloud your judgement.

A woman that does not respect you as much as you respect her is not worth wahala.

You better unchain yourself from this bondage right now by force before you get trapped for the rest of your life.

You know what to do. You are just too chicken to do it. Be a freaking man and tell her your terms and conditions. If she gets violent. Tell her that you have been bullied by her for far too long by her and that you are done.

Tell her that you still love her but her traits are leading you to depression and that it's not good for your health.

If it doesn't work out, look around for similar hot girls and make friends with them. I am sure you will find one that adores you.

AMBITIOUS GUYS

They continue with aggressive pursuit of their goals and see women/relationship as distractions. Some of them have it tattooed in their brains that women are dreamkillers. They are not afraid to woo ladies just that it is not worth their time and effort. Most of the time, it is the women that want to nail them down in a relationship. Those guys can be emotionless.
It's not that they are emotionless. It's just that there is always a fail save programmed in their minds so as to cut out distractions.

They tell a woman straight away that they are not interested in a relationship and if she says "I don't want no Bleep boy" he moves to the next and the next until he finds one who understands and agrees to those terms. Reduces the wahala of "YOU BROKE MY HEART. YOU ARE HEARTLESS. GOD PUNISH YOU" and all the other things girls/ladies want to believe to make themselves feel better.

I disagree with the Introvert part.. I'm dating an introverted guy.. grin Apart from the fact that introverts can be extreme loners, practical people with inability to express theirselves and they get the phobia of kissing and hugging or even holding hands in public, here are some reasons to be with an introvert guy.. they're amazing!!

Great listeners. My boyfriend helps me a lot by just listening to me. You know when you want some one to just hear you out and only advice when asked for, Introverts are ever ready for that.
Very Intelligent. Very clichéd sentence but trust me they are intelligent. My Man solves the rubiks cube in under 2 mins. That's crazy.

No nonsense. They are the ones you can have the most meaningful conversations with, not garbage talks.
They guide you very well. Some how they see you just the way you are, and yet love you because it's beyond looks for them. They don't get blinded by love, and yet For them love means everything and they give it their all.

Not Fake. They do not pretend to like you. They either just like you or don't and will tell you straight

Love Ain't A Game . They don't fall in love easily, but They fall hard. For them love isn't a game, their Hearts are at Stake. If they tell you they love you, you better not break their heart.

Calm by nature. Would women want to be with a man who gets violent, abuses, puts her down, yells at her or with A Man who treats her like a princess, will be faithful and treat her with respect all her life. I'm sure you will choose the latter i.e The Introverted man. They can never get violent it's just not in their nature to fight, and usually are respectful towards everyone in general.

Give you space. Space is must in a relationship and introverts know how to give you that.

Hot in Bed. They are good love makers (I can only speak on the behalf of my bf). Boy they are passionate!!

Stand by you. Is anything in this world worth more than some one actually standing by you through the toughest times? Introverts who are in love with you, won't back down when your in trouble, or back off because some one else says so. They fight hard to protect their loved ones.

Won't “use" you. Introverted men never woo women as a game. They are genuinely attracted to her and want to get to know her on deeper level. Yes sex is on their mind too but they will never cross their boundaries with you. Introverted women find it hard to fall for some one and when they do it's usually for life.

Honesty. Yes they are brutally honest, they will criticize you, not to hurt you but, because they really care about you . Yet they will be the first ones to come Cheer you up, Motivate you when you feel down and like a total failure.

Best friends. They are the bestest friends you can ever find. Trust me.

Loyalty. Being faithful comes to them naturally. Since they are introverted, they do not have many friends or easily make new connections. This means they do not find it hard to stay loyal and committed when in a serious relationship.

Some introverts i know here on NL: Teempakguy grin
Who told you all introverts are loyal?. cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

PoliticsRe: Nigerian Army Demotes Enitan Ransome-Kuti, Late Fela’s Nephew by dastudent(m): 4:58pm On Mar 03, 2016
sawyer89:
The Ransome-Kuti I know was fearless, bold and courageous!

God rest your soul Anikulapo.

Too bad the General is the opposite of his great Uncle.
Have you researched the story of what really happened to him.

On October 15, a military court-martial sitting in Abuja, convicted Mr. Ransome Kuti, 51, of alleged offences during the war against Boko Haram – a sentence that earned him a six month prison term and a dismissal from the army.

According to the General Court Martial, Mr. Ransome-Kuti was awarded the following punishments:

• The first count charge, which was “cowardly behaviour” was struck out but he was found guilty on count charge number two which was “failure to perform military duties” and was dismissed from the Nigerian Army.

• He was equally found guilty on count charge number 3 which was “miscellaneous offences relating to service property” and was awarded six months imprisonment.

When the news of the military’s verdict was broken to her at home, Mrs. Davies said she wept.

“It is his brother and his wife that were begging me, because I don’t know how my BP (blood pressure) just spring up immediately I heard the news,” she said.

“I was shaking, that how come? How can Boko Haram issue come and spoil somebody’s career? Somebody that has been serving the nation for 40 years.

“Right from NMS (Nigerian Military School), he was Drum Major there. And he’s one of the best students there. Many people liked him, teachers, everybody.

“He does the work as if the work belongs to him. That is why I wonder why they would come and judge him this way. I felt bad, I cried, I wept bitterly.‎”

Mr. Ransome-Kuti, who was the Commander of the Multi National Joint Task Force, was blamed after the Boko Haram insurgents overran the Baga on January 3.

The brigadier-general, his chief of staff, Lieutenant-Colonel GA Suru, and some other senior officers were arrested for failing to repel the terrorists’ attack on the headquarters of the MNJTF.

During his trial, the officer denied all the charges, with his lawyer arguing that the Nigerian Army failed in its duties to provide the necessary equipment in the war against insurgency.

‎A military source told PREMIUM TIMES that before the attack, Mr. Ransome-Kuti had warned about the danger of keeping officers at Baga without adequate protection.

“It was too dangerous for them to stay at Baga. They were sitting there like lame ducks, too exposed,” said the source who preferred not to be named.

“Because of the danger, Chad were the first to withdraw from the MNJTF in May, followed by Niger around November.
“It was after the attack in January that they now moved the base from Baga to Ndjamena.”

The MNJTF was created by defence and military chiefs from the six countries that make up the Lake Chad Basin – Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Cameroun, Central African Republic, and Libya – to combat arms trafficking, terrorism, and related cross-border attacks.

‎There are different accounts as to what actually transpired in Baga on January 3 which led to the Boko Haram insurgents dislodging troops of the MNJTF as well as those of the 134 and 174 Battalions.

At the time of the incident, a military source had told PREMIUM TIMES that the military ‎hierarchy were especially angry with Mr. Ransome-Kuti for his inability to lead his troop to counter the Boko Haram onslaught despite the high calibre of ammunition at his disposal.

The Brigadier-General was also said to had gone underground for four days after the MNJTF was dislodged.
“Nobody was able to reach him and nobody could tell where he was,” a source said.

“The suspicion is that he was roaming around Maiduguri in mufti while his troop were in disarray. He and his officers have to account for everything.”

‎But Mrs. Davies insisted her son would never abscond from his duty post, adding that Mr. Ransome-Kuti had been fighting the insurgents since 2009.

‎”He doesn’t come home often, because they post him from one end to another, far in the north there‎. They don’t bring him to Lagos, it’s that north that they have been taking him to,” Mrs. Davies said.

“And when this thing started, when he was the commander of one unit at Nguru, he was the one that led his men that they drove these people away. They faced them and drove them away from Potiskum.

“He was the one that fought that fight and those people went away. Before they came back in full force. And they even called him to army headquarters to commend him for doing that work.”

Mr. Ransome-Kuti’s court martial lasted over six months, and his mother said she never summoned courage to ‎attempt attending any of the proceedings or watch news of the hearing.

“I’ve never attended the court since the case started,” she said.

“I can’t stand and be looking at my son in court. I just sit down at home, waiting for whatever they said they should tell me‎.”

As military duties moved Mr. Ransome-Kuti around northern Nigeria, from Yola to Biu to Kainji,‎ Mrs. Davies maintained a steady presence in her son’s family, sometimes spending up to eight months in one year.

“I used to stay with the wife, so that I’ll be keeping her company,” she said.

“He’s always traveling, they always post him out to go and work. That’s why I use to follow them about to stay with the children and the wife.”

Asked if she’d rather her son’s judgment was commuted to a mere dismissal from the army, Mrs. Davies insisted reinstatement is the only option.

She appealed to Yoruba leaders to intervene in the issue and help save her son.

‎”I’m just appealing to the military authority and Nigerians to help us beg them to send him back to his work,” she said.

“To give him back his rank and let him go back to work, because he doesn’t deserve this kind of judgment.”

In addition to Mr. Ransome Kuti’s portrait, other photographs, including wedding photo‎s, adorn the walls of the poorly lit room where Mrs. Davies took turns to respond to questions from two journalists.

“He’s the one taking care of me and he has a wife and three children,” she said.

“And there are some other family members that he is taking care of. In fact, I will say he is a pillar in the family. Since he was detained in Abuja, everybody has been down and everybody is praying that they should release him because he’s our breadwinner.”

Stay the hell away from godaddy...You are better off with Media temple, Arvix or siteground for shared hosting.
fattbabakay:
I, personally as a web developer, would make the following recommendations :

If your web project is large scale, it will require a high disk space and bandwidth, go for Godaddy. But if you are afraid of dollars and its associates, go for Whogohost's best shared hosting plan.
For a new blog with an average of less than 1k daily views, trudigits silver pack will do, at #7,500 with free .com.ng domain.
For a personal portfolio,something like fattkay.com, with minimal traffic and less disk space requirement, go for Trudigits least plan, at #3,500 with free .com.ng. Meanwhile, a domain name will cost #2,500.

The idea of hosting is, the more you pay, the more you get. Even though you will hardly get a host with 100% uptime, cheap hosting plans might throw your website offline for hours daily. So if you are working on a web project you really value, get ready to spend on hosting. Remember, you have to spend money to make money.

Last bullet, if possible, Always Opt For Foreign Hosts.

Shalom!!!

It says a lot. It says you should learn to always do the right things the right way whether here or elsewhere - always put a square peg in a square hole and not otherwise. It says you should always look before you leap. It says you should never add sugar to egusi soup. It says when you do, you should be humble enough to truly admit your fault and stop seeking indirect ways to push that fault to someone else. You don't begin to educate people 'out there' by quoting me out of context. You should rather quote the people 'out there' or just educate them without quoting anyone. It's painful to know your premature totally-out-of-point response probably is the reason the person it was directed to did not answer eventually presuming justice has been done to it. It is even more annoying you are avoiding to acknowledge the possible damage.
We have an absract problem here.Sigh! Okay i acknowledge that i am at fault. Does that solve the problem? Kisses..No homo.lol!

Find a passion. Be consistent with it. Be happy with it. Wash rinse repeat...Find another passion. Be consistent with it. Wash rinse repeat. Money can be measured and it's good to have a business plan but if money is your sole purpose of doing something, you will burn out very quickly and give up.

I only pointed out to you that you should try to read a post before responding to it to stop making a fool of yourself and you're calling it rudeness. You're instead the rude one for going out of your way to give an outlandish reply to me and yet - even now - refusing to admit an obvious fault of yours. Why should someone ask someone else "do you have a medicine for head ache?" and you jump in and begin to teach him how to repair a bicycle and you yet can't see why you deserve retribution?
The fact that you assume i made a fool of myself by explaining something i assumed you or somebody out there might not understand or probably did not know says a lot. Sorry again though. I hope the explanation helped someone out there.

There is no knowledge wasted. Have a fun filled week.

please can you explain more on this
You know how everyone seem to want to blog about news and what's the latest kinikan in town? Well, by choosing a particular niche (topic or focus).

You write about that topic and things that revolve around it, build a following and well, you can make money off adsense or promote a product for a company that is willing to pay you a particular percentage when someone buys that particular product.

For example, you decide to blog about make up and hair products. If you are very good at it, you will have lots of viewers in no time and in the process, you can make money from google adsense. You can also check through the web for affiliate products you can promote and earn money based on my earlier explanation.

Another way you can make money is through selling of your own hair products to your faithful followers and delivering it to them when they pay or they pay when you deliver.

I am using the hair and make up as example since you are looking for ways ladies can benefit from making money online.
