HighBK: President Obama found himself in an unusual situation Monday.
As he was casting his ballot early in Chicago, minding his own business behind the voting booth, a young man walked by and warned him “don’t touch my girlfriend.” The girlfriend, Aia Cooper, who was voting in the booth next to Obama, was humiliated, to say the least. “I really wasn’t planning on it,” Obama joked with the woman. “There’s an example of a brother just embarrassing you, just for no reason whatsoever.”
“And now you’ll be going back home and talking to you friends; what’s his name?” the president asked.
“Mike,” Cooper said.
“‘I can’t believe Mike. He’s such a fool,’” Obama said, impersonating the woman.
“He really is,” she agreed.
Obama continued: “‘I was just mortified. But, fortunately, the president was nice about it. So it’s all right.’”
“I am freaking out right now,” she said, laughing.
The president got the last laugh, though.
“Give me a kiss and give him something to talk about,” the president said, as he gave Cooper a hug and a peck on the cheek. “Now he’s really jealous.”
But Cooper downplayed the moment.
“He gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Just the cheek,” she told ABC’s Chicago station WLS. “Please, Michelle, don’t come after me!”
hilarious or not, imagine a common citizens like dem having d opportunity of interacting with their presido without security harassment I pray dt ds kind of a thing should be happening in our dear nation in a foreseeable future
Sincere9gerian: Very good. Cassava revolution, rice revolution, cement revolution, sugar revolution, automobile industry revolution, cocoa revolution, power sector revolution, etc. The Nigerian economy is gradually being liberated from the strangle hold of being a mono product economy. What we need now is continuity, consolidation and peace
femicyrus: Let us clap for GEJ becos top government officials are now using made in Nigeria cars. He is transforming nigeria! As if a worker with N18000 monthly that will pay house rent, Nepa bills, feed, pay children school fee, tranport, etc can afford it. Mobile phone that use to be the birthrite of the rich in naija is wat even a student can afford now. Nobody is clapping for OBJ
U r thinking wt my sense! And the question still remains, where is the presidency innoson's vehicle(s)? A leader leads wt example

firstolalekan: Nice development. . . *modified * Let's wait and see how long it will take before any bill is passed and implemented. When it comes to making laws that will benefit the common man, we know how our reps and senators behave. But, it didn't take them anytime to approve the borrowing of ONE BILLION DOLLARS proposed by the clown to FIGHT the bokohaRAMS that they're currently negotiating PEACE with. Meanwhile, I don't see DSTV doing any monopoly here. Our own indigenous providers too are very greedy! How much is Dasat subscription? How much is Startimes subscription? How much is Hitv subscription?
anonimi: Perhaps correct until Aregberascal showed up in Osun and started fuelling religious unrest with his school merger policy and other clueless antics. A governor who cannot build more schools to ensure ALL our children are educated was playing religious pranks on us Very useless man indeed.
He jus won hs second term ppl r getting more enlightened beyond religion day by day
ilugunboy: I assure you and your type that the only place such high intolerance resides are in the North and SS/SE and NEVER in the SW.
SE/SS votes are already on locked down for GEJ.....so there is little APC will do to appease those two regions.....the North is weighing heavily for APC....the battle ground is the SW.....all you need is a person with good record of political office, and that is very popular to unlock the idle voters in the region to come out and vote....FASHOLA meets the criteria.
Just like most yorubas..I have Muslims and Christians in my own household...living amicably without rancour, so why should we allow foreign religion to determine who to vote for against competency.
Forget your bullshytee religions when it comes to SW....
I concur wit ds. In my household, all the females r practising christianity while the males r muslims n we share ideas without sentiment. But to be sincere, if I am opportuned to make a contribution as regard d subject of discourse, I wud prefer a pair of both religious practices in order to be careful especially in a situation whereby a part believes dt sm1 hs d interest of islamizing d country. And to be factual, we nid nt to deceive ourselves on hw our pastors and imams do preach in support of any candidate base on religious ground. That is dt
But my area of concern in this thread is dt major part of d news was based on lagos governorship tussle in contrary to d headline. So my question is - what s happening to our journalism or is ds a new idea of news reporting?
Alenkakent: Na wa o... I think its high tym muslims started springing up more schools from nursery to university where the muslim students can fully follow the teachings of the prophet... I don't blame govts for banning hijab.. We all know who pioneered most of govt schools... Aint they christain missionaries?
U cn talk of saint James, saint peter not ansar u deen, nawar u deen and d rest
We are people with different inclinations but for the purpose of those who are detached from history or the youths below the age of 30 or those who had been fed with historical distortions there is need to put the record straight for a man whose track record remains a phenomenon in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large. > ># Buhari was governor of Borno state under Obasanjo regime and later minister of petroleum > ># Buhari birthed and supervised the establishment of the existing refineries. > ># He was head of state between 1983 -1985 (a period of 20 months) > ># There was no religious crisis while he was head of state > ># He reduced inflation from 23% to 4% by fiscal discipline and home grown economic team (not achieved under any other era) > ># J.J. Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders in Nigeria to prison. > ># Under his watch as PTF chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn't been matched by 12 years of the PDP. > ># Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time. > ># He refused to collect allowance while serving as chairman of the PTF because he said he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of same government. > ># He returned excess money spent to purse of government on his return from oversea training as a military officer > ># He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja. > ># Buhari personally recommended late Dora Akunyili to OBJ because of her diligence during PTF interaction. > ># Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past ended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of indicting Buhari ended up being prosecuted for misappropriating $100 million of PTF funds! > ># His personal driver of many years is a christian from Plateau state! > ># He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has tilltoday, taken up the challenge. > ># He is the ONLY politician in northern Nigeriatoday who fills rallies without renting a crowd! > ># People who know him (including pastor Bakare) have said of him......" All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank". > >If honesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria, now is the time to choose right. > >"Conscience is an opened wound, only truth can heal it" > >Spread the message to the uninformed, misinformed and all Nigerians home and abroad.
Delafruita: politics is an expensive business.men always have to be seperated from boys and its always about funds.during the democratic primaries of 2008,clinton and obama spent a combined 600million dollars.and that's the primaries alone.the republicans spent just a little less than than while its estimated barack obama's campaign gulped more than 500million dollars after the primaries.the largest contributors to those campaigns were the banks,hedge fund managers,silicon valley and the likes.in this era of PACs and super PACS,expect billions to be spent campaigning for a job that pays just 400,000 dollars per annum.that's right,barack obama spent nearly a billion dollars campaigning for a job that pays 400,000dollars.so its not always about recouping investment,its more about passion and desire.buhari has a desire to see a better country and he's willing to do whatever it takes to actualise it.it doesn't mean I will vote for him,but I can't but admire his sterling qualities
The majority of the ppl dt wil vote for hm r not nairalanders
Adindupeter: Story for the Gods........ If it's true, then that's the more reason why we shouldn't vote him. Can't Imagine what will happen to our oil money should he smell that seat.
That is to say; Eni to ba y'okun ni ke gbe owo fun ... #InWasiuVoice

nonsonnamani: HOW TO MAKE A GIRL FALL IN LOVE..contd
I think I would have to dump the wash, trying to sound political correct and just throw the raw facts forward.
What I will be showing you in this post will piss off a lot of people, especially girls, but I don't care.
the truth is this; it works.
These secrets I will show will make any girl beg you to allow her into your life irrespective of how you look or how much you have.
Now here is the good news; if you make a girl feel like she loves you nothing else will matter, she will get from other guys and give to you.
And how to get a girl to be that mad about you is what I will be showing you in this post.
I will be teaching you three concepts that I have developed over the years; they work like magic and I have used them to break down girls in minutes and make them beg me for a kiss (I'm dead serious)
Here are the three "power rangers" I use:
1. Jonse-Humor-Shock 2. Mystery-beam 3. Rubber-band her
I will explain the first strategy in this article then explain the other two in subsequent posts.
JONSE-HUMOR-SHOCK
I learnt this strategy from a friend back in the university and it works like magic, it's almost scary sometimes.
Here is the principle behind this strategy: Girls are accustomed to guys who try to impress them but when a guy comes up and doesn't try to impress her but instead, jonses her in a funny way she sits up and take notice.
Now think back to that ladies' man you know, that guy that has girls flocking around him. Have you ever gone close to hear how he talks to those girls?
How he doesn't try to be a gentleman around them. How he is blunt with them. How he is always jonsing them.
Now, don't get this concept wrong - don't be harsh to women and say bad things to them, that's not what I'm saying.
Instead of saying; "Your hair looks awful".
Say; "Hey, is that the size of your head or is that wig three times bigger than my own head".
Then smile.
The strategy is not to insult her, but to jonse her in such a way that she realises you don't seem to be under her spell like other guys are.
I have had a very pretty girl ask me out after I kept on telling her that she is too fair for my liking because she reminds me of my granny who I didn't like.
I always made her see I was joking, I wasn't all mean and straight faced but because I said it showed her I wasn't freaked of her looks like other guys.
She would hit me and be like; "you are comparing me to your grandmother. Is she even fine as I am"
Then I will be like; "Before? She, you and smiggle in lords of the ring look alike"
Then I will smile.
One day I told her I can't date her because, even though she was fine, I wasn't attracted to her.
The next day she kissed me.
The more pretty a girl looks the more Jonse-humor-shock will work on her. These types of girls have been so worshipped by guys, so when a guy who doesn't worship them comes along they struggle to impress those guys. That's why you will call this girls fifty times and they won't even call you for once. Instead, they will call one guy who doesn't even look that fine.
Have you noticed how stupid in love pretty girl act when they like a guy. And still, that guy don't take them seriously.
If showering praises and compliments on girls makes them fall in love then everybody will have girls chasing after them.
Gloria3389: I'm not saying ileya meat is sanctified to idol but the the precepts(the way the animal is killed,the process of killing it) and reasons for the celebration are baseless thereby making it look like an idol.... who are u honouring for killing ram or camel or goat cos God provided it for Abraham to replace his son...are u Abraham?... apart from that the mount u stand on in saudi to become a alhaji are alhaja is baseless......but everyone is entitled to his or her believe sha... no offence please... #just my opinion #
Thank u for putting ds as opinion. Moreover, u cannot say the celebration is baseless cos it s an annual mandatory religious obligation for those who r capable. #4UrInfo
SirHouloo: 1 cor 8 vs 4 4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. 7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse. 9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
With ds verses u v quoted, it wil b sincere of u if u can point out d idol dt ileya s associated with. Pls answer wt facts
