You got great scores! I had a 790 in math and 640 in english, only 90 points better and i'm in a great phd program here in the US. Your scores qualify you, it depends on how competitive your program is.

Shekpe.

Ina uni, Yaya gejia,

ElRazur:
Dayokanu, my questions appears to go unanswered.

You mean would I beat my kids? I dont think I would or whats your question

*_{Cough cough}*

Lemme clear my throat.

Can someone answer me before I ask?

Uyi Iredia:
@ dayo kanu >>> i feel your pain >>> my broda   >>> take comfort in knowing that i was 4 when u were getting the big stick >>>
my version was to come 5 years later >>> funny though   >>> the beating which was quite similar to yours but not as bad >>> and it was over how i beat my younger brother on the street >>> right after a 'family forum'  

my foray into the thing called lying started

some similarities between your dad & mine in their flogging methodology

*you get to lie down & get flogged with periodic interruptions during which you're advised
*they flogged with canes, cables, koboko, broom e.t.c >>> anything that could really inflict pain
*they believed what they were doing was 'right'

Glad to see someone who shared a similar experience. Some people wont believe it when i tell it but I think mine was more because I was the first born, and the first boy. the 2 after me were girls and couldnt be beaten that much so all my dad's energy were concentrated on me.

I wasnt beaten with a broom though because there is some form of superstitition attached to it in Yorubaland.(Beating a male child with a broom)

My dad tried to explain later(Which i termed as an apology) but you know its un-African for parents to apologize and admit wrong doing

I even remember one (Which i think was outrageous). I borrowed a novel from the school library and my dad saw it lying around.

He invited me to his room.

Dad: I saw one Novel who is the owner.

Me: I borrowed it from the school library.

Dad: In your library do they have Physics, Chemistry and Maths textbooks, I mean book that related to your studies.

Me: *Sensed trouble was coming* Yes they do.

Dad: You couldnt borrow any of those but only Novels.

Me: *Quiet* (Murmurs and steady myself for the impeding assault)

Suddenly a cane sprung up from nowhere and I received some lashes (Though those were not the usual stuctured lying down it was more like stretch out your hand and receive the cane. When my hand wasnt streching well he got up to reach other parts of my torso.

After like 10mins.

Dad: (yelling) Now get out of my sight and let me see you another time with any useless and irrelevant Novel and I trudged out.

shadrach77:
are u sure u are not exageratting? this is pure, undiluted abuse!!! 3 hours beating? jeeezuz!!!

When I hear ppl complaining that they were beaten with belt, Asked to pick a pin, Stool down, Kneel down I just wish those were the kind of punishment i got.

I was certain that the beating of April 1993 was over 100 cos It was structured. 60 first day, 24 second day and 12 third day. That doesnt include bonus strokes.

On September 9 1995 I lost count but I was sure it was well over 120

Idowuogbo:
she wa buda dk , how ya side

Mo wa o. Iwo nko? How your waist?

Is Amarachi that tall cos Kanu should be like 6ft6 and she looks like 6ft 4 in that pic remove heels maybe 6ft?

LadyT:
Dayo There is no way your Dad could beat you for 3 hours straight! Was he not tired?

Tired? The beatings have a pattern. He would have me lie down and he would sit on a chair. 12 strokes at a time. and after that he would sit and talk for like 5 mins " Like you went and brought shame to my name out there, Now lie down again for another 12."

" What was going through your head while you were doing all these, You are gradually turning to a criminal lie down again for another 12",

" You would definitely become a cultist once you get to University and I would kill you before you do that, Lie down for another 12"

In between If I try to hold the cane or not lie down flat, I would get kicks and minor strokes which doesnt count towards the 12.

At some time the flogging would now lose rhythm and would be just sporadic and without a count again

On that day in 1995 I think I got over 200 strokes in 4 hours

Ok Now to the grandfather of all beatings. September 9 1995 (Ojo buruku esu gbo mimu)

I was attending JAMB lessons in prepararion for the UME held on December 2 1995. I would usually get to lessons like 3pm and hang around smooching girls in empty classes until its like 5pm. When I would go for classes by then the already quiet class would erupt into cheers since i was the ringleader of the troublesome students The queer thing was that I was still the smartest in the class. The teachers reported me that i was a disruptive influence and the lesson co-ordinators told me to stop attending and even detailed a gateman to make sure I dont come into the premises. One of our neighbours daughter went home to tell her parents who in turn informed mine.

My dad heard and drove me to the lesson co-ordinators house who told him how bad I was.

Got back home and my dad changed his trousers to shorts in readiness for the epic flogging,  he had 4 canes at home then, He locked me in the room and started after like 2hrs all the canes were worn out and broken. My mom was banging on the door shouting but he wont listen.

after the canes were finished he went to get electric cables (Nigerian wire and cable those thick grey coloured cables. He kept a sack or wires at home for emergency electrical repairs) When my mom saw him carrying the sack of cable to where I was, she attempted to wrestle him and he shove her aside. And my Part 2 of the ordeal started with those cables. In the meantime my mom ran to some of his friends house to get them to stop the beating by the time his friends came back It was already over an hour of cable beating and cables dont wear out.

It took his friends to stop him, they pleaded with him in the name of everything . I couldnt get up for a while, I was like 3 times fatter cos all my body was swollen, The next day was Sunday I couldnt go to church. My mom came to the room, She was also crying and brought the bible and she was ministering to me that she believed the devil was using me. After that, she said every morning before I bathe, I should read Psalm 3 into the water I would use to bath and pray everyday.

When my father came the next weekend. He told me to get a paper and write an undertaking that I would be of good behaviour. I wrote it and he kept it in my file (He had a file for everyone of us which contains all our academic progress from nursery 1). In my undertaking, I deliberately wrote "i would be of good behaviour till I get to university". And he was like "you intend to turn bad after you get into University?" and I got a quick 6 strokes

It was like a week before I could walk properly and for months after the scars were still all over me, My friends in school noticed some black lines on my skin like 4 months after when the scars were healing and they knew what was up.

That was the last major beating I got.

I dont agree how many 3 year olds back in your day would dare smack their parent back? Those who suffered abuse always go to the extreme and often refuse to disciple their kids Im not just talking about smacking alone. Im talking about disciple talking to a child about why you had to smack them giving children warnings to behave before resulting to beating. Children need structure

i think you are right, I dont think I can ever touch kids. Even my younger ones, I never beat them

Even Ribery hasnt been in top performance,

We should be able to manage till the New year when the crunch games start and we would have a full and ready ROBBERY screwing teams all over Europe.

On the flip side this would give players like Kroos, Altintop, Olic, Pranjic and Maybe Gomez the playing time they want so they can prove themselves if they should still be in the team or be shipped out

BERLIN — France midfielder Franck Ribery is expected to be out for at least four weeks with an ankle injury and to miss Bayern Munich's next two Champions League games, it was revealed on Wednesday.

The winger had to be helped off after an hour of his side's 2-1 win over Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Tuesday after falling awkwardly and an MRI scan in Munich on Wednesday revealed he has torn ligaments in his right ankle.

"I had feared worse," said Bayern coach Louis van Gaal after hearing the news.

"Our misfortune is a blessing in disguise. Now we can look to getting Franck cured properly."

Ribery is expected to be in a plaster cast for the next ten days, then will wear a special cast for a further ten before he can begin light training.

If his recovery goes according to plan, Ribery is expected to return to team training in the second half of October.

Tpiah,

The beating actually hardened me. I wanted to get away from home, I hated holidays and I was praying govt would make school all-year round.

All the beating made me a better liar, cos the consequence of telling the truth or telling half baked lies were too much to imagine.

Thus I grew up in a house full of people but I was alone, My sisters were also first class (Amebos) who would try to outdo themselves in who has more tales to tell about Dayo to our parents. So I learnt how to live in solitude and be my own companion

Most of the times when I talk to my dad now, Its usually in monologues Unless we are discussing football or Israel vs Palestine wars

Later we had a discussion and he told me about his own life story how his parents never really cared for his education, I believed he did most of what he did because of the fear that he doesnt want be to turn out a failure in life.

My dads gift for getting good grades were either Further Math Project by Sivasubramaniam or Godman textbooks

^^ Can your friend request a refund of all tithes he has paid to the church while he was a fornicating sinner?

LadyT:
I wish our parents spoke about sex more!

Sex!!!! That was a forbidden topic, If I am watching TV with my parents and 2 ppl are kissing, I would wish the ground would swallow me right there.

Since I was the first born, I knew all about sex from my friends in school, Till age 12 I wasnt sure how ppl make babies.

Friends told me it was through sex, I overheard my parent say "God give babies" So I believed them because If babies can ONLY be through sex How come some people are barren?

I believed people would just get married and live together and at some time God would just make the woman pregnant.

I also thought babies came out through the anus.

Number 2.> Mid April 1993.

I was supposed to go for lessons but I on my way there, was gisting with my friends about Australia 1993 U21 tournament and didnt go for lessons. around 7 I went back home and met my dad, He asked what we learnt today, i told him Maths and Social Studies.

Later some of our lesson teachers saw my dad somewhere and asked if I was sick cos I didnt come to lessons.

My dad came back and asked me If I was sure I went to lessons, I claimed I did and said the teacher didnt know what he was saying. I thought that was the end.

The following day He followed me to the Lesson took me to the Maths teacher and asked if I was in his class, I confused the teacher about the dates and he said he isn't sure but its like he saw me in class. Next we went to the social studies teacher but that one caught my lie immediately and said he was sure I wasn't in class and the day I was referring to was an earlier class.

When I got home my mom quickly went to sleep because she cant stand what would come next, I usually lock our house door and drop the keys in my dads room, as I went to drop the keys he locked his room door and brought out 8 freshly bought canes.

He gave me a beating plan: first day 60strokes, 2nd day 24 and 3rd day 12. (I have to discount slaps and kicks in between and some bonus beatings)

That night my mom had to come out of her room and was banging the door crying too . By the 3rd day I could barely walk. By then 6 of those canes were broken and worn out

The number 1 was the mother of all beating.  September 9 1995

My dads beatings were special I usually have anniversaries of them

I remember the top 3.

Number 3> November 5 1987. In our CA test in Primary school I was placed 11th position (7people were 3rd). I couldnt show my dad the report card for him to sign cos I knw he would beat the Hell out of me, So I signed it myself. Few weeks later, My dad while searching my bag found a poorly scribbled signature on my report card.

He asked me who signed it while stammering to respond, Series of hot slaps landed in quick succession. He stripped me to my underwears and was flogging me for like 20mins. Fortunately for me, One of his uncles came visiting that day and I was saved.

Pandemonium as usual on the scummies thread

Thats obvious 4 CL is not the same as 0

Beg the refs to save your Godforsakenclub from half a decade of trophylessness too

Same shit different hole from Senderos to Silvestre to Djourou

As we currently speak, Brentford has knocked out "powerhouse" Everton out . The same Everton that tamed Manure

Higuain, Dimaria were also subbed, We can assume they would be starting from the bench too

mystikal:
DK, The game hasnt even begun and Bayern are behind already

Can you tell us what the score was after 90 minutes?

I would like to know if the church bothered to refund the tithes and offering contributed by this fornicating couples for the past years when they have been sinning.

Or the church doesnt reject sinners money?

Mystikal, Wont you go and mind your useless team before keane murders y'all
