I'm optimistic it's not true, because it will be a step backward for our Military and the gains they've made for the past weeks. Bryan12: And you expect me to believe this |

My submissions might seem unintelligible jargon to you, but you know better than you're trying to portray here, even though I agree to some extent that he might not know everywhere but not Gwoza of all places for crying out loud. Is Gwoza not the same place an Emir was killed, thereby putting the ancient city on the world map? Tolexander: i'm sorry, i've decided not to engage in this kinda puerile argument again! |
Yes, very stylish and 'creamish'! But wait a minute, are they going for a whitenicious competition somewhere ![]() nnowu: I love this,the women are stylish |
But the president will have 'overall knowledge' when election come calling, right? Even a toddler knows where Gwoza is! Tolexander: what are you saying? |
Why spew this type of ignorance, why does he have Special Adviser on National Security and to even think he's the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Tolexander: Being a president of a nation as big and diverse as Nigeria doesn't automatically qualify one to have the absolute knowledge of the whole horizontal and spatial entity governed. |
Ageless beauties, God bless them. |
Good one Oche, he who has ears should take heed. |

Wow, what more can I say than to say nice questions and answers. I have just three questions for you: 1. If you were not running Nairaland, what will you be best known for? 2. Which part of Nigeria is Seun from? 3. You said you talked extensively about dislike button, but for the sake of those that were not aware, can you elaborate more on it. Thanks and God bless.

Thanks Dominique! 3.193. "Our Lord! Indeed We have heard a caller calling to faith, saying: ‘Believe in your Lord!', so we did believe. Our Lord, forgive us, then, our sins, and blot out from us our evil deeds, and take us to You in death in the company of the truly godly and virtuous. "The believing men and the believing women, they are the friends of one another. They command what is right and forbid what is wrong.” (Qur’an 9:71). Caseless, this is a call to you. dominique: Thanks for the mention @lertee |
Lovely, wish her good health ahead... |
#1. The Apocalypse of Constantinople https://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/4/5/0/150450.jpg?v=1 The fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans in 1453 is widely considered one of the most consequential moments in world history. In fact, most historians credit that moment as the end of the Middle Ages. Like a bunch of lushes getting kicked out of a bar late at night, all the Byzantines fled the city after it fell and wandered to other European hotspots before sobering up and getting to work on the Renaissance. Suffice it to say, the collapse of Constantinople helped shape the rest of history. Naturally, that kind of colossal event deserves some fanfare on a biblical level, so it is fitting that the fall of the city coincided perfectly with a partial lunar eclipse. While this may not sound that exciting, it was kind of a big deal for everyone who saw it because of a long-standing prophecy that said, "Constantinople would always endure provided that the moon, in its full circle, did not give a sign in the sky." https://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/4/5/1/150451.jpg?v=1 "I'm telling you, I think it's trying to tell us something." Since the moon was an important symbol of Constantinople going back to its founding a whopping 1,123 years earlier, seeing it disappear during the most important siege of the century was a pretty terrifying coincidence for everyone who lived inside its walls. And yet even with a blacked-out moon, the Byzantines fended off the incoming attackers for a little while. It took the hand of God to sweep through the city to really let everyone know that prophecy wasn't fucking around. Where it Gets Really Weird: According to the terrified accounts of what happened after the eclipse, the skies opened up and, for the next week, the city was besieged with "whirlwinds and terrible storms," "thunder and lightning with clouds, and a violent rain with severe hail," and "drops huge and red, similar in size and appearance to a bull's eye, fell as tears." https://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/4/5/2/150452_v1.jpg They must have cut that verse. What sounds more like hyperbole than a detailed account actually has some credibility behind it. According to the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory , these made-up-sounding phenomena may have been the result of a massive volcano -- one so huge that, even though it happened in the South Pacific, it caused apocalyptic weather-weirdness halfway around the globe. So what at first seems like a staggering coincidence feels a little more like God saying, "Alright, everyone get the hell out before I drop an asteroid on this nonsense." http://www.cracked.com/article_20024_5-creepy-coincidences-you-wont-believe-actually-happened_p2.html |
Joan of Arc and the Maid of Lorraine Prophecy https://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/4/5/3/150453_v1.jpg Old-time historians weren't above sexing up their accounts with a little bit of what experts call "bullshit." Legend becomes fact, real accomplishments get exaggerated for propaganda purposes (no, George Washington never chopped down that cherry tree.) But when it comes to Joan of Arc, the parts of her life that historians all agree on are so remarkable that it doesn't seem to need all that much exaggeration. She won over her chief critic at Orleans through a sudden gust of wind on the battlefield, for instance, and one way or the other she reversed nearly a century of French defeats in one year despite no military training whatsoever. So given all that she was accomplishing, it doesn't seem that strange that a prophecy started gaining traction around France stating, "As France had been lost by a woman, it would be saved by a woman." What is strange, however, is that the prophecy was already hugely popular in France long before Joan of Arc ever wandered off into the woods and started taking requests from angels to set English armies on fire. https://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/4/5/4/150454.jpg?v=1 The background on that is that when Joan was 8 years old, France's Queen Isabeau of Bavaria signed a treaty with England that essentially handed the French throne to the English king. Naturally, French citizens were less than excited about gifting their country to the same people who had been stabbing their ancestors to death for decades, and so they started to cling to this prophecy claiming that a woman would save them. Where it Gets Really Weird: After Joan of Arc's track record of reunifying France, that prediction couldn't sound any more made-up in hindsight. But guess who most historians attribute it to? That would be Merlin the wizard, from Arthurian Legend. Attributing anything to a fictional wizard sounds like an open-and-shut case that it probably didn't exist, but the prophecy is mentioned repeatedly through the transcripts of Joan of Arc's trial and in a ballad written by Christine de Pisan while Joan of Arc was still alive. Each mentions Merlin's prophecy as if it was something everybody already knew about. https://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/4/5/5/150455.jpg?v=2 "Seriously. One more person yells 'Free Bird' and I'm gonna start cutting until I run out of faces." Okay, you might think, maybe Joan just heard the prophecy as a child and tried to fulfill it. You'd be wrong. Joan of Arc claimed a lot of seemingly preposterous things during her trials, but she always dismissed the idea that she was the woman from the prophecy. So we're left with a strikingly prescient divination from a fictional English wizard foretelling the downfall of England, and the only person who doesn't believe it is the girl making it all happen. |

I know most of us have read this over and over again, it's just a reminder that can do us a lot of good when we can keep to doing it. |

But did you watched the show? kennygee: Yes keh |
He'll be like, ''Devil get behind me''. kennygee: Usher be like in the second picture "The devil is a liar" |
I agree, this is quite the stretch! how can US even say he's looking at Kim's butt when he's wearing mirrored sunglasses?! you can't see which direction his eyes are pointing. His face doesn't seem to be in the direction of her backside. Not that he didn't check it out at some point, though. Kinda hard to miss that one! I thought she looked horrible. That dress, and those boobs. It just looks like he is laughing at her or trying to photobomb her not staring at her huge nasty ass. Her boobs look ridiculous, not a cute look all around. It's amazing how beautiful this outfit can look when it's worn properly and in the correct size.[quote author=kennygee]Usher be like in the second picture "The devil is a liar" Stay far, far away from the plastic, Mr. Raymond. You are young, black, famous and successful. Hence, the Kardashians have you in their sights. Really? I don't see that. I don't think Usher was checking her out, it looked more like he was laughing at her as she went by, like Dang girl what the hell are you wearing! Come on US Weekly don't make chit up! I can't wait for the fashion police to get a hold of this picture, I hope they give it a thumbs down because it truly is. I don't hate her, I don't like her, just the truth. I bet I can guess who the designer is of this UGLY dress ( Balmain ). Not only do I not think he's even looking, why do we have a THIRD article about her when this night should've been about the music artists! This was their night and yet we make it about this family once again... |
She's got a lot of hilarious and 'wicked' feedback as well: https://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/1249/2626/original.jpg?w=480&h https://elitedaily.com/wp-content/themes/highsociety/favicon.png |
Dang, girl! Usher was caught on the 2014 MTV VMAs red carpet on Sunday, Aug, 24 in Inglewood, Calif., checking out Kim Kardashian’s famous derrière. Question is, if you were to be an Editor of a media, what will you title this Usher's fanny-looking? ![]() https://i.huffpost.com/gen/1986481/thumbs/o-USHER-CHECKS-OUT-KIM-570.jpg?7 https://static.qwikgist.com.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/582671408935504_454099302_kim-kardashian-usher-zoom-838x1024.jpg |
But do you know that Oba Adesida III didn't like to take pictures during his reign, I was in the Palace when he died and they have to take the picture in that state he was. macof: I remember trying to take a photo of Deji Akure. He didn't appear in the photo |
Thank the Lord. |
It has to be 1kobo (was this ridiculous back then, question for the gods) that I used in buying bubble gum at Oja Oba (Akure). #BringBackOurKobo |
Unfortunately yoruba is no longer taught in our primary school, it's scarce in bookshops. You should be able to get it at Yaba before Tejuosho market though. deols: Alawiye iwe kerin ni oriki awon Ilu. |
