Are you saying it's okay for fox news to call Michelle a ho because it's their first amendment right

Thank You!!!!!

because Fox News is conservative and attacks any liberal?

Not really because they tactically attacked John Kerry. The closest was Joe Liebermann but his case was better. There is a huge difference between attacking somebody and insulting somebody. Calling Michelle a baby mama is as good as Don Imus calling black women a nappy headed ho.

Again, John McCain is not your typical conservative, why are they sparing him and his trophy wife? party allegiance?

[size=14pt]Girls’ math skills now measure up to boys’[/size]
Study finds no difference between boys and girls, even in high schools
updated 2:23 p.m. CT, Thurs., July. 24, 2008

WASHINGTON - Sixteen years after Barbie dolls declared, "Math class is tough!" girls are proving that when it comes to math they are just as tough as boys.

In the largest study of its kind, girls measured up to boys in every grade, from second through 11th. The research was released Thursday in the journal Science.

Parents and teachers persist in thinking boys are simply better at math, said Janet Hyde, the University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher who led the study. And girls who grow up believing it wind up avoiding harder math classes.

"It keeps girls and women out of a lot of careers, particularly high-prestige, lucrative careers in science and technology," Hyde said.

That's changing, though slowly.

Women are now earning 48 percent of undergraduate college degrees in math; they still lag far behind in physics and engineering.

But in primary and secondary school, girls have caught up, with researchers attributing that advance to increasing numbers of girls taking advanced math classes such as calculus.

'Gender parity' in standardized tests
Hyde and her colleagues looked at annual math tests required by the No Child Left Behind education law in 2002. Ten states provided enough statistical information to review test scores by gender, allowing researchers to compare the performances of more than 7 million children.

The researchers found no difference in the scores of boys versus girls — not even in high school. Studies 20 years ago showed girls and boys did equally well on math in elementary school, but girls fell behind in high school.

"Girls have now achieved gender parity in performance on standardized math tests," Hyde said.

The stereotype that boys are better at math has been fueled, at least in part, by suggestions of biological differences in the way little boys and little girls learn. This idea is hotly disputed; Lawrence Summers, then the president of Harvard, was castigated in 2005 when he questioned the "intrinsic aptitude" of women for top-level math and science.

Joy Lee, a rising senior at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Va., says she always felt confident about math, but remembers how it felt to walk into a science class full of boys. "Maybe I was a little bit apprehensive about being the only girl, but that didn't last for very long," said Lee, president of a school club that tries to get young girls interested in science and technology, along with engineering and math.

How can they use the word "baby mama" for his wife? I've also seen a lady suggest that he may be assasinated(heck, why not suggest the same for John McCain) and another call him "Barrack Osama" only to apologize the next day lackadaisically.

After Senator Obama won the nomination, he and his wife gave each other a "pound" in front of the cameras. Fox anchor E.D. Hill called the act of celebration a "terrorist fist jab." Then last week, a Fox News on-screen graphic referred to Michelle Obama as "Obama's baby mama"--slang used to describe the unmarried mother of a man's child. It was a clear attempt to associate the Obamas with negative cultural stereotypes about Black people, an insult not only to Michelle Obama but to women and Black people everywhere.

By eezzy,
I think its highly embarrasing to spew out opinions about people we don't know
at all. How many of us have met these two ladies. Every opinion here is based on
what we've heard and the opinions we form from watching their videos, which of
course is neither here nor there.
[b]
Given, yes - they are celebs and should expect both good and bad publicity, but I tend to think
that the reason some of us are not subjects of such publicity is because we are not public[/b]
figures, otherwise our own attitudes are a millenia times worse than that of these ladies!
Abeg, all these things are interesting to read when one is bored, but really! makes you wonder!

The only reasonable post here. 25 stars!!!!

If the yoruba needs leadership at all, I think the only viable person to lead the yoruba race now is Senator Kofoworola
Bucknor-Akerele.

[size=14pt]You can't lead Yoruba race, Oyinlola tells Tinubu [/size]
By Tunde Abatan (Lagos) and Gbenga Faturoti (Osogbo)

Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, on Wednesday cautioned that former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, cannot lead the Yoruba race, coinciding with a demand by Tinubu's former Deputy, Femi Pedro, that he should be probed.


Oyinlola linked "the desperation of the Action Congress (AC) to the fact that both Tinubu and his National Chairman hail from Osun State," and enthused that by 2011, Tinubu's hold on Lagos would be broken "as all forces of genuine progress would be united in defeating the political tendency he represented.


"A fake person cannot lead the Yoruba race. A person whose name, background and educational attainments are enmessed in controversy would not be the leader of a progressive race like the Yoruba."


Pedro spoke with reporters in Osogbo after he visited Oyinlola over his victory at the tribunal.


He declared that the recent publications by THISDAY on alleged contract scandals involving Tinubu are just a tip of the iceberg.


"You have not seen anything. Men and women of goodwill expect the anti-corruption agencies to probe Tinubu's deals and bring him to book," he stressed.


"We are quite aware of the antics of the opposition party and their sponsors from Lagos shedding crocodile tears and making baseless and unfounded allegations against some members of the tribunal.


"We, from Lagos State, are very familiar with their style and antics. These people are no democrats but desperate power seekers who will do anything possible to attain power. They have perfected the art of propaganda using ghost writers and some sections of the media to dish out falsehood.


"When certain judgments favour them, they publicly express their confidence in the judiciary but where they do not favour them they are quick to malign and cast aspersion on the integrity of the judiciary.


"They know how to rush impeachment process through the legislature and the judiciary when they want to perpetrate acts of wickedness. They have little or no respect for the judiciary and the rule of law but rather pay lip service as champions of democracy."


Tinubu's Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Ajanaku, reacted in a statement that if it is the will of God for him to lead the Yoruba and indeed the country "nobody can stop him."


He said Pedro is looking for a godfather in the person of Oyinlola, having failed in his ambition.


"If he felt that Tinubu was corrupt how come he didn't raise an objection and resign from the government? He is not a reliable character in spite of the fact that he was given an opportunity to serve in the government as Deputy Governor and decided to dump his party and joined the Labour Party (LP) which he never believed in."

[size=14pt]Woman nabbed for concealing heroine in chocolate containers [/size]
By CHRIS ANUCHA
Thursday, July 24, 2008

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) operatives have arrested a female trader at Oshodi market, Mrs. Andoyi Damilola Folashade, for being in possession of with 142 wraps of substances, suspected to be heroine. Folashade, 30, was said to have concealed the hard drug in chocolate containers, which tested positive for heroine weighing 1.083 kilogrammes.


Folashade
https://odili.net/news/source/2008/jul/24/sun/Folashade.jpg




She was nabbed at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (NMIA), Lagos, on arrival from Bombay, India, in an Ethiopian Airline flight. The suspect, who sells clothes at the Oshodi market, had concealed the drugs in two chocolate containers in her hand luggage.

The NDLEA Airport Commander, Mr. Victor Cole-Showers, said the Agency was on the trail of the suspected drug baroness, simply identified as, Alhaja Hadijat, who also sells clothes at the Oshodi market. He pointed out that drug traffickers usually hide under legitimate businesses to launder illicit drug proceeds.

"We are aware that the suspect is not alone in this business. The Alhaja that sent her also sells clothes as a cover up, so that people will not know her real source of income. She is currently on the run, but we shall get her," the commander said.

Damilola had confessed that it was Alhaja Hadijat that asked her to bring three luggages from India adding that she was not aware that one of them contained illicit drug. "Alhaja is a very nice woman. She allowed me to be selling my wares in front of her shop. Whenever she is traveling to buy new wares, I used to give her money to buy things for me.

Last month, when she traveled to India, I gave her five thousand dollars to buy some wares for me. On her arrival, she said three of her bags were still in India because she had excess luggage. She said and that I should please bring them whenever I travel.

I told her I do not intend to travel until I finish selling my wares. She then offered to pay N64,000 out of the N114,000, being return ticket fee, to enable me travel immediately".

It was also gathered that the said Alhaja paid 150 dollars to the airline when the suspect missed her flight. The suspect now has the onerous task of convincing the courts and her children that she actually acted in ignorance. Folashade, from Oro Local Government Area of Kwara State, said she lost her husband earlier this year.

After years of leading Sola on and possibly browsing her, he went ahead to choose another woman. Men!!!!!

The Founding Pastor of the Household of God, Reverend Kris Okotie, has finally put an end to the speculations surrounding the woman he wants to marry. The funky preacher and presidential candidate of Fresh Democratic Party (FDP), during the April 2007 election told his church members that he will be getting married to Stephanie Henshaw, a widow and mother of three children.

In the course of making the announcement yesterday, Okotie also attributed his defeat at the April 2007 presidential polls to Satan. He said: “Do you know what it takes to be the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria? Can you explain why Obasanjo did not just leave Aso Rock despite all the opposition?

“This world is ruled by the forces of darkness. The world is ruled by Satan. He decides who rules. Those people make sure that their people are in power.”

The 49-year old musician turned pastor told he congregation at his church in Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos, that he will marry Stephanie because she is beautiful and his friend.

He said he did not want to go into details to prevent the press from having a field day.

Meanwhile, Okotie has sacked, Ms. Sola Salako, the church administrator for undisclosed reasons.

Ms. Salako told in church said that contrary to insinuations that she had resigned, she was sacked by Okotie. “I’m no more working with them. Pastor has restructured the church and decided that I am no longer in the team,” Sola said.

Reports said since Ms. Salako came back from the United States, she has not been attending church regularly. Besides, she no longer visits Okotie’s office.

She, however, said all is well, adding that she has not left the church.

“Don’t believe all the things that you read in the papers; all of them are not true. I’m still here, all is well,” she added.

It was gathered that before her sack, Sola Salako had been the church’s administrator for many years and had no problem with Okotie.

But problems allegedly started when Okotie told her that she was not going to be his wife.

@mr ofurufuru
whether you like it or not, all players are not created equal, you cannot Peter Crouch to Ronaldo, or Dirk Kuyt to Ruud van Nistlerooy, there is an exception to every rule, recognizing this is the art of management. The kid chose not to play in the qualifiers because Chelsea needed him afterall he plays regularly for Chelsea especially during injury crisis and when Essien is playing at right back, heck, the guy is supposed to be a younger replacement for Makelele. But what does Siasia do? he kicks him off the team because of his over inflated ego or jealousy (who knows, the guy never made as much money as mikel in his playing days) then you replace with some obscure kids who qualified by playing second rate teams in Africa. Well good for him, he better get it right at the olympics because, Holland is bringing Babel and Makaay who never played in there qualifiers and the Argentines and brazilians are bringing Messi, Arguero, Ronaldiho, Pato and Robinho NONE OF WHOM EVER PLAYED IN THE QUALIFIERS FOR THERE COUNTRY.

Thanks DavidDif .

I met a man at the station and the first thing he told me was

"I want to know you because I love you"

WTF!!!!!!!!!

What's wrong with that? Ain't you supposed to love your neighbor as you love yourself? May be the man was exercising his religious belief.

These look like Yam storage houses, not pyramids Grin Grin Grin

They are barely double the size of the woman standing there and they are not in homage to any dead person or God.

There is nothing Egyptian about the Ibo. We were born here and we will die here in West Africa. Firstly, we do not have desert features. We have wide nose and squat broad shoulders. If the Ibo were in Egypt and Egypt was invaded, they would settle in Sudan. Nobody from desert regions comes down to settle in tropical forests. The black people of Egypt are still there in Kush, Sudan. Many people all over the world worship The Sun God aka Nimrod, from Babylon to Iceland to South America, so it is not unique to the Ibo. If you want to look at pyramid structures, the Inca, Aztecs and Mayans have a lot more in common with the ancient Egyptians, even having their own pyramids and worshipping The Sun God as their one and only God.

Ok

However, I have a question - why are some Ibo fair skinned?

Most of them are fair skinned because they have a questionable genomes. I heard(na rumor) the white slave masters got many of their women pregnant during slave trade and that is why majority of them are fair skinned.

Nigeria does not owe the North anything. Same goes for the West, East and South. Soludo is a Nigerian and is speaking as a Nigerian for the benefit of Nigeria. The North are not sacred, a dose of straight talk is what we need in Nigeria and the North are getting a recommended dose of that from Soludo. More of that from eminent intelligent Nigerians and we will be on our way to our deserved place in the comity of Nations.

Ok, just don't start what you cannot finish.

@deepzo, is that your profession, abi na u dey chop for where things dey spoil.

No, I may be using their services when I start my NGO.

im from London and a boi i kno always says:

" Hey my size, swing your digitz my way"

and suprisingly it works everytime.

Most men that can't chat up women because they don't even have respect for them! Angry

Yes it works very well on those chics that are ghetto fabulous.

Their mission in family law is strictly to protect women.

Lots of women are raped and molested daily by their fathers in Nigeria. The govt should do something about it. If they are considering the nude bill, they can as well look into this one because it's more important than the nudity bill.

[size=14pt]All these parents sending their kids to Nigeria to study while they, the parents remain abroad are all lazy[/size]

maybe he's romantic?

I think some guys are so naive that they believe what works on one woman "should" work on others. Perhaps he's not considering what she likes or maybe there are just no[b] sexual sparks[/b] between them

She made this thread twice and there's a part where she says she's fine walking around with him, holding hands, going out to places but when it gets to the bedroom, she doenst feel anything

It's a sad situation.

And Bisi didn't know all these things before she married him after all she's dated both of them. No sexual sparks? How come Nepa suddenly brought light with her EX that never slept with her before and took light with her present husband that violated her as a spinster? Change of transformer? This NEPA and their sparks sef

Why can't we have constant electricity in Nigeria

Roflmao; God fired Nigeria after Shagari.

Na that one me I wan know.

For a LovePeddler is a deep pit And an adulterous woman is a narrow well.---proverbs 23:27

Didn't you just say she should zip it because he's not suspecting her?

Didn't i also say that i'm not against confession as long as the physical and mental properties in her home remains ideal. Duh

Do their conscience EVER trouble them?

Why else hasnt her husband mentioned his own sin.

Whether her husband is guilty is another story because she sounds like a drowning person that is struggling so hard to pull another with her.

we are prisoners of hope----zachariah 9:12

No they should stop cheating but how fair is it to transfer your guilt and cause pain to someone you love just because you don't want to feel your guilt anymore?

So you are saying that men should zip it anytime they cheat on their wives even if their conscience is troubling them?
