Wow! I never knew.

Yes. One of my old friends recently told me. His name is Benjamin 'Kokoro' Aderounmu.

Seriously, mingling with old folks adds to your knowledge.

Duchaello:
awww you remind me of this book and that naughty Enitan brown.....killjoy. Did you read second chance? Written by Nyengi koin

Jeez! Nobody remembered One Week, One Trouble?

shumuel:
Lol bro what about
''15 men on a dead man's chest''

Yo ho ho on a bottle of rum...

ajebuter:
1990.....

l was in SSS 2 and the literature books l read;

the oks?

Iyá ni yi. Túale. Ówò meji loké fu ení kán

How many of us even knew back then that [b]The Drummer Boy [/b]was actually based on a true story, though fictionalized?

shumuel:
Read all, watched both the Movies and the Cartoon.

Also Treasure Island, John Cruso

God bless you hombre, @ the bolded. I can't forget the ringing of "pieces of eight, pieces of eight" in my memory then.

basingstoke:
What are they reading these days if they are no longer reading those books

The thing tire me. I was ordering some books online and each cost about $8.50. My colleague asked me why don't I download the softcopy.

I guess he doesn't understand what it means to own a classic and smile at them when they are sitting comfortably in the shelves of your library.

Ooh yah!!! It's like having a wine cellar

ChappyChase:
Bro benjamin was donkey, the only smart animal apart from the pigs. It was Old Mayor that was the horse who was strong and very f000lish!"

typical naija politics.

Thanks ChappyChase for the correction. Old Ben was a donkey. I mixed them up.

Did you happen to read this Nigerian literature of a guy that went on a revenge mission because his betrothed fiancee was given to another man to marry? I can't remember the name of the literature

What?

I'm afraid of an average Nigerian even myself.

shinarambo1:

This is an insult to the collective intelligence of Nigerians. Haba... In china, these judges would have been shot. Why are some Nigerians so wicked?

In Korea, they will be beheaded. Kai!

AntiWailer:
And he has that much cash.

He should be charged for money laundering

Or better still rice laundering

Nairaland Politics Section can kill someone. Off to Family Section abeg.

12inches1:
Another example is DSTV(multichoice). That is why you're forced to pay 13k. No competition.

Exactly. HiTV almost tried but couldn't last. Let me cite an example that will mage is understand better.

How many switching companies do we have in Nigeria? Do you know?

obailala:
There's a saying that "great men become great when others are sleeping." The last time I checked, Dangote isnt stopping other businessmen from growing.

I never said he did. He definitely had the backing of most governments. Ever read of what happened to Soviet Union when it broke up? Most monopolies have the backing of the government.

If monopoly is allowed to continue, large percentage of employees will earn petty wages/salary while few will earn more. No competition to threaten the market holders.

Not too far example is MTN and Globacom. MTN insisted that PSB is not possible until Globacom came and hit the market. Where do you think we would have been of there was no competition?

How many examples should I cite? Coca Cola, 7Up Bottling Company, Toyota, Hyundai?

Let competition thrive and the consumers will know the best place to pitch their tent.

Like I said earlier, I like his business acumen. Exploring opportunities. Ciao.

I hope we disagree to agree.

Nice business acumen he has, albeit I detest monopoly in a growing economy like ours.

Dyt:
But the one that almost gave me a knock is Macbeth
I think that's where the greedy schelock wanted a pound of flesh

I guess that should be Merchant of Venice. Funny part was when he was told to cut the flesh but that no blood should be spilled. Who does that?

Lawyers have been crazy right from the beginning of man's existence.

Millz404:
Alright man, whatever makes you sleep at night

Alright mate. Adiós hombre.

Millz404:
Not funny.... Just write it normal and stop trying to be funny, cos u not

Millz404 enjoy the fun, don't kill it. We are already passing through difficult times. Let's not increase the pain jarè. A little humor once in a while won't hurt us.

Sharming95:
Bosta

Jeez!!! Bros you sef know BOSTA?

Nigerians are a rare breed. Always finding humor out of every negative situation. Whatever doesn't kill Nigerians makes them stronger. Salute!

wisdomuche:
Nollywood most handaome actor #myopinion shaa

Bros, seconded. Not only your opinion. #ouropinion.

I'm yet to see any to beat him. And a darn good actor. Kudos RN.

Souljeezy:
A PERFECT GENTLEMAN

Please Souljeezy, educate me. What makes/defines a perfect gentleman?

gadgetsngs:
Not official launched ,but available in retail stores? Any ,here is a list of all Tecno phones from the very first to the Last http://www.gadgetsng.com/2016/06/june-2016-tecno-phones-specs-price-features-photos.html

Okay. Thanks.

PerfectlyPerfect:
I didn't mean to take it in excess. just a little and you cn always brush when you're done.

Brush mouth, take peppermint, tom tom, baba blue, mouth rinse et al. Alcohol will still be perceived. Better avoid it totally before the interview.

mikolo80:
he is not losing now. He just said so. Those that lost ran

Of course he's not losing. So he won't complain.

mikolo80:
smart investors make money in both bear and bull markets

Yes, I know but will he be confident to say that about his own economy when it faces downhill?

It's easier to tell someone sorry about the loss of something than accept the same sorry over your own loss.

PerfectlyPerfect:
a little alcohol

Alcohol? Do you how the society looks at someone that reeks of alcohol during the day?

Bros this your advice to prospective job seekers no make brain abeg. Haba!

Will they say this about their economy of it faces recession?

To imagine that he scored zero, got the admission and started jubilating is a serious concern on both parties.

1. The rot is our system is so bad that we don't care how things should be done, but it should be done one way or the other, legit or not.

2. The institution should be ashamed that they are actually doling out such a result.

3. Imagine posting this on social media for the whole world to see.

Ego le?

The op said yet to be launched officially. Let's wait and see.

Wise choice op. NL has a repository of archies so they will surely come to your aid. Kudos.

Although by early 90s, I was just leaving primary school and about to enter secondary school, I still had the opportunity to read some of the books listed here because my late elder brother was in the Arts division then.

Trials of Brother Jero
She Stoops to Conquer
Macbeth - my dad had this in his library way back
Julius Caesar - ¿E tú Brutus?
Animal Farm - Benjamin the old donkey
The Bottled Leopard
Romeo and Juliet Anthills of the Savannah
Merchant of Venice

what a beautiful childhood.

Quality post. No need to defend the case. We need to go back to the drawing board. Both parties are to blame for the issues raised by the op.
