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?

But the president will have 'overall knowledge' when election come calling, right? Even a toddler knows where Gwoza is!
Tolexander: what are you saying?

From what you quoted, does being a president automatically gives one the overall knowledge of where one governs even with the presence of special adviser?
PoliticsRe: “where Is Gwoza Sef?” Jonathan Asks At Meeting With Emir by dont8(m): 6:37pm On Sep 01, 2014
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.

How many of you castigating the President have the prior knowledge of Gwoza before the Boko Haram issue?

The problems with the president on the issue are;
he shouldn't have asked the question in such manner, 'where is Gwoza self'
and
with all the events in Gwoza in the past few months, he is still naive of the location. That is too bad!

Wow, what more can I say than to say nice questions and answers.

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.

#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."

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.

Family45 Awesome Dude Tips (that Your Father Should Have Shared With You) by dont8(op): 8:42pm On Aug 26, 2014
We found this online (we didn’t make these up) and thought we should share them here for all you men out there.

Your dad probably taught you a few things, but just in case he wasn’t around enough, here are some awesome words of wisdom you might have missed out on:


1 Buy high quality tools, so you only have to buy them once.
2 Keep a change of clothes at the office.
3 Never hit anyone unless they are an immediate threat.
4 Every hat should serve a purpose.
5 Never take her to the movies on the first date.
6 Learn to wet shave.
7 Shave with the grain on the first go-around.
8 Nothing looks more badass than a well-tailored suit.
9 Always look a person in the eye when you talk to them.
10 Buy a plunger before you need a plunger.
11 Exercise makes you happy. Run, lift, and play sports.
12 Brush your teeth before you put on your tie.
13 A small amount of your paycheck should go directly to your savings account every month.
14 Call Mom and Dad every week.
15 Never wear a clip-on tie.
16 Give a firm handshake.
17 Compliment her shoes.
18 If you aren’t confident, fake it. It will come around.
19 You can tell the size of a man by the size of things that bother him.
20 Be conscious of your body language.
21 The only reason to ever point a gun at someone is if you intend to shoot them. Period.
22 Always stand to shake someone’s hand.
23 Never lend anything you can’t afford to lose.
24 Never leave a pint unfinished.
25 Ask more than you answer. Everybody likes to talk about themselves.
26 Never have sex with anyone that doesn’t want it as much as you.
27 Go for women out of your league. You may end up surprised.
28 Manliness is not only being able to take care of yourself, but others as well.
29 Go with the decision that will make for a good story.
30 When you walk, look straight ahead, not at your feet.
31 Nice guys don’t finish last, boring guys do.
32 Find your passion and figure out how to get paid for it.
33 Don’t let the little head do the thinking for the big head.
34 No matter their job or status, everyone deserves your respect.
35 The most important thing you can learn is personal responsibility. Bad things happen; it’s your job to overcome them.
36 The first one to get angry loses.
37 Never stop learning.
38 Always go out into public dressed like you’re about to meet the love of your life.
39 Don’t change yourself just to make someone happy.
40 If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.
41 A man does what needs to be done without complaining.
42 Luck favors the prepared.
43 Women find confidence sexy as hell.
44 Do whatever you want to do, but be the best at it.
45 No one is on their deathbed wishing they spent more time at work.

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.
Anyway, how could you NOT stare at her rear end? It's like a humongous, fleshy train wreck. cheesy
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...
