Thisnut: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? |
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” You can read the remaining and many more awesome stories here. http://www.themustycorner.com/dusty-scrolls/love-story/ |
Neduzze5:To be fair Over optimisation is bad. |
lalasticlala:To be fair. My Neighbour told me how he met some Babcock girls in front of their school gate. Jisted with them for a while and decided to give them a lift to Lagos. He ended up having a party with them after rounds of Amala and Origin. He said he gave them 10k after. |
What I am not understanding is that there was a time when the cost of crude oil was over $100 and we were fine. What is this magic they a propagandering and displaying to us. |
pafra: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. |
Neduzze5:Bros but that's SEO 101. I am surprised you don't know this. His target keyword is writer and the more he uses the word in the article, the better his rankings in search. |
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? |
The guy is kind of an idiot for posting the message with hef name and picture. We live in a culture of slut shaming people ... Yes she might be an Oloshi and all but if he truly respects her as he claims . He could have either blocked out or cropped out her name from the message . Finishes eating groundnut. |
Make friends with lots of girls and be free ,open your mind and focus on your life . Don't get tangled with emotions. We live a borrowed life and nobody will help you carry your cross but you and yourself. What's your vision in life.Create a plan and work towards it. Don't let anyone human be the death of you because well, when you get to the other side if it exists. How will you explain yourself? "Eskees sir ,I kee mysef because of geh" |
I vote for mimzy cc: NLjega. |
Sparkle777:Exactly my thought process. How does it concern anyone and this is basically an evasion of privacy. Woman caught with grandson kinikan kinikan...Did he kill her, did he still from her, did she file a report of assault or battery?.....How is this anybody's business. Can't people have privacy again? I am not saying i am for it but then seriously even if he was shaving her vjayjay...How the thing come take concern anyone. Is it stated in any law that it is illegal. I am against incest but then this kind of thing will only happen to poor people living together because of the level of illiteracy we have in Africa. Sigh! |
jennyswt:I have the same challenge right now. |
Get a lawyer. You are allowed to stay in the house for at least six months after you get an ejection notice. If he forces you out, i think you have a right to sue...Not sure if it's sue though. |
kpolli:Oshey David Deangello. |
Inspinia: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. |
InvertedHammer: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. |
Booyakasha:Who told you all introverts are loyal?. ![]() |
remexy:Imagine you being in your best outfit and you drove your best car to wherever you went to only to hear that your best friend is dead and while in confusion you jump into your beautiful car, arrive at the scene and well, you suddenly hear people saying "See what he came with, he is very insensitive". The same people will be quick to say " See him, he did not even arrive on time, he is very insensitive"...You cannot please everyone. |
TolaniLuv:Errr..there is a context and it's mostly sarcasm. Most Nigerians don't get sarcasm and it's kind of weird since we practice dark comedy in this country. |
kay29000:You mean Ubi Franklin and Iyanya's Made Men Music? Chews colanut. |
sawyer89: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.” http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/192196-exclusive-mother-of-convicted-army-general-pleads-for-mercy.html |

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. |
Freelanswer: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. |
olajumoke12:You are welcome. |
olajumoke12: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. |
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!!
