Talking about my VIP ticket and your a**. . .

Why is it that at the mention of 'feminism' every j-girl must be there?

Creamish:
Cyclone---u are guilty of FALLACY OF HASTY CONCLUSIONS!!!!!! I'm right here!!!

It's only because j-girl is around now.

How do you manage to sing with that guttural voice of yours?
Ok, I guess you were only humming it.

No one tree makes a forest.
This feminism of a thing is really distroying our fine babes. . . whew!

Poor Acid.

Cyclone5:
Am pretty sure there are a few guys down under who would fight him for the pleasure of getting off the first shot

Unfortunately, they are not as sleek as the Douzy the Cat.

Fake trust.
When the chips are down, they cash in on your weakness.

Someone here should tell me that the VIP ticket I bought is not yet in vain.

That's why I can hardly trust a girl, which is also reason girls seldom trust each other.

The ephemeral may change, but the essence remains the same.

Well, Creamish, that takes us back to Square 1!

Acid, when the right hand washes the left hand for good reasons, the left reciprocates.

He's just being realistic.

@Creamish
Please, can you expatiate on the "another level" we're supposed to move to when I show my full face?

Cyclone5:
Dont tell me you havent "figured" him out by now. So are you not sure whether he is friend or foe? All the picture fascination, have or would you ever go on a blind date? Has seeing anyone's picture on Nairaland given you a better sense of who they are?

@Acid.
Cyc's got points, not just a point.
Go through that post of his again.

Yea right. I know that expression.

What was your question?
. . . and while you're at it, I'm off to the shower!

@douzy

the fastest/smartest dog eat the fattest bone

You can't learn to be fast/smart without first learning to be patient.
Don't underestimate the sagacity of the old.

The patient dog eats the fattest bone.

That's ok.

It's 5:29am.
It's dawn already, bro.

Eiyah--

Just carry your carriable self back into the rotten so-called university compound you carried your carriable self out from!
We don't need a soul like you roaming the streets of Abuja.

Do you understand simple English?
You're the one confusing yourself now, not me.

Shame on you then!

ELLISON TO GRADS: DIPLOMAS ARE FOR LOSERS
Oracle CEO Urges Students to Drop out, Start up

NEW HAVEN, CONN. (SatireWire.com) — In one of the more controversial commencement addresses in memory, Oracle CEO and college dropout Larry Ellison told Yale's Class of 2000 they were "losers" whose hard-won diplomas would never propel them into the ranks of the super rich.


The evangelical Ellison, noting that college dropouts Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Michael Dell were, like himself, on Forbes' recent top 10 list of billionaires, urged freshmen and sophomores at the ceremony to "drop out and start up," and added that the undereducated Yale security guards who ushered him off stage probably had a better shot at uber-wealth than graduating seniors.

What follows is a transcript of the speech delivered by Ellison at the Yale University last month:

"Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please, take a good look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on your right. Now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 thirty years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. And you, in the middle? What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser Cum Laude.

"In fact, as I look out before me today, I don't see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. I don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers.

"You're upset. That's understandable. After all, how can I, Lawrence 'Larry' Ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions? I'll tell you why. Because I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not.

"Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college dropout, and you are not.

"Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not.

"And for good measure, because Michael Dell, No. 9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.

"Hmm, you're very upset. That's understandable. So let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. Most of you, I imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you've learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. You've established good work habits. You've established a network of people that will help you down the road. And you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word 'therapy.' All that of is good. For in truth, you will need that network. You will need those strong work habits. You will need that therapy.

"You will need them because you didn't drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to No. 10 or No. 11, like Steve Ballmer. But then, I don't have to tell you who he really works for, do I? And for the record, he dropped out of grad school. Bit of a late bloomer.

"Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, 'Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all?' Actually, no. It's too late. You've absorbed too much, think you know too much. You're not 19 anymore. You have a built-in cap, and I'm not referring to the mortar boards on your heads.

"Hmm, you're really very upset. That's understandable. So perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for you, Class of '00. You are a write-off, so I'll let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago.

"Instead, I want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you, and I can't stress this enough: leave. Pack your things and your ideas and don't come back. Drop out. Start up.

"For I can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as suredly as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me dow. . . "

A victim narrates her experience:


Hi all,

This is to bring to your notice, the new method of crime in Abuja, the capital city. I was mugged on easter sunday by robbers. I entered a cab, not knowing that this driver was carrying another person in the boot of his car, and were both thieves. The driver drove to a certain point, and suddenly, someone jumped out from the boot, and they both attacked me, taking all my belongings.

I feel it is important i let you know, as you let others know, as i learnt that has been happening ever since the ban of 'okada' in Abuja and ladies unfortunately has been their victims. plz, before you board a cab in Abuja, pray first, and then check the boot, to make sure that there's nobody in there.

Cheers

This happens mostly in the night, and travellers coming into town from other cities often fall victims too.
