Science/TechnologyRe: Your T-shirt Could One Day Charge Your Cell Phone by ektbear: 2:27am On Jul 08, 2012
Seems more like turning the t-shirt into a battery of sorts? Still need to get the energy from elsewhere.

Btw, I honestly don't know why smart phones can't be charged just from kinetic energy from someone walking. Should be some sort of small device you can embed in a phone that generates electricity from motion.

PoliticsRe: Governor Runs Against Entrenched Interest-san Fransisco Chronicle On Oshomole by ektbear: 9:23am On Jul 07, 2012
Meantime, under President Jonathan, the state has fallen into chaos. Among so many other problems, a Muslim terror group, Boko Haram, is bombing churches and other sites, killing hundreds. Twenty seven people died when Boko Haram attacked a police station in late June.

Oshiomhole said the terror group came into existence as a government official's private force, but then "the bombings spread beyond where they started" and are now beyond any official control.

The Edo state election will be Saturday. Oshiomhole likes to say "my strategy is to invest in a way that brings the greatest good to the greatest number of people." For democracies worldwide, that's a boilerplate campaign trope. In Nigeria, however, Oshiomhole is the only politician who says things like that - and then actually follows through.
Godspeed, Oshiomhole. May you prevail over the nest of vipers.

PoliticsRe: OBJ In Yoruba History by ektbear: 9:18am On Jul 07, 2012
I like OBJ. But while his actions were probably good overall for Nigeria as a whole, I'm not sure they were great for Yorubaland specifically.

So, mixed feelings on the guy.

RomanceRe: Why Is It Almost Impossible To Meet Nigerian Men At My Financial Level? by ektbear: 6:05am On Jul 07, 2012
I think part of the difficulty is that you appear to go to a basically white Catholic church? If I'm reading you correctly?

Most of the Yoruba Christians I know in the US are protestant...Redeemed, Anglican, Baptist, things like that. So you've taken yourself off the market to some extent by not being visible at the churches that Yoruba Christians mostly attend in the US.

I know that you are Catholic, but maybe start attending extra service once a week at the churches Yoruba Christians go to grin

Here is a listing of the RCCGs, for example: http://www.rccgna.org/
RomanceRe: Why Is It Almost Impossible To Meet Nigerian Men At My Financial Level? by ektbear: 5:59am On Jul 07, 2012
Tbh, if you are reasonably ok looking AND financially stable, it shouldn't be too hard for you to meet naija dudes.

Just go to these national functions they have. Visit some non-catholic churches, e.g., Redeemed in NYC.

I think most naija guys in the US like me are looking for women who are:

a) not going to be financial burden
b) good looking
c) good head on her shoulders
d) not been around the block too much

so if you satisfy 2 or 3 of the above, you'll be able to find a suitable man, if you look around more.

One more thing, go to Nigerian weddings! I damn sure know you aren't doing that. That is another really good way to meet people, aside from Naija churches..

PoliticsRe: Nigeria & Russia Commence Nuclear Power Generation Programme by ektbear: 5:50am On Jul 07, 2012
Russia is good at certain things. But if you want to do nuclear power, partner with someone who has a track record of SAFETY.

France might be a good choice.

Not somebody who almost wiped out his entire country due to mistakes (Russia)

PoliticsRe: 12 Great African Inventions That Changed The World by ektbear: 5:34am On Jul 07, 2012
Agreed. Nigeria is an example of the failure of the black race as well.

You don't seem to understand that most Nigerians will agree with this statement grin

Btw, I don't think davidylan's mentality is, "haha, look at them silly Haitians." He doesn't appear to have a "we are better than you" mentality, like you seem to have. Though no doubt he will correct me on these two points if I am wrong.

He is just being blunt about the state of the black man.

I don't mind telling stories, if they are true.

This you think is the solution? Or a part of the solution, rather than contributing to the problem?

Rossikk: So, if someone doesn't believe your clearly fraudulent tales, then they necessarily suffer from an inferiority complex? Is this your argument?

Again, if anything, I have the opposite problem...that I think too highly of myself relative to other people.

Finally, regarding this "argument by appeal to authority", you do realize that is a logical fallacy, yes? Just because the most renowned academic says X doesn't mean that X is true.

Moreover, if your argument has such a thin basis, then whenever anyone else with equal or comparable credentials appears...

Look, the point is simple. You are full of horsesh1t. You yourself know this to be true. Don't get pissed that someone is calling you out on it

But for me, the larger issue is that we just didn't write or document sh1t until very recently.
