M I is a beast. Nice song

I bet most of you outside UK cannot view this:

Someone please confirm.

Nope.


Surely someone here has a TV tuner (I think that is the name of the device, at least.)

Though you'd figure that they'd at least make it for available for sale, say via DVD.

kokoye:
A 19-year-old man, Ogunleye Idris, has been arrested by the police for parading himself as a woman.

Mr. Idris allegedly dressed in a woman’s gown, a black waist belt, faked bosoms by putting two sachet water, popularly known as “pure” water, in a brassiere.

lol!

Agreed on the Kim K comments. A good look now, but will start falling apart in under 3-5 years. Already, there are telltale signs of decay.

For me, I'm mostly interested in women who will have longevity appearance-wise. Seen too many beautiful women turn into hideous trolls by age 30 or after pikin. Gotta keep all that stuff in mind.

Sweet T:
Forget that, Rokiatu's sister was lucky the 14 year old never penetrated. She would have kept quiet about it. Do you know how much sexual strength a 14 year old boy packs? that's the dream of every 28 year old. Rokiatu's sister would have had herself a human 14 year-old intimacy gadget by now if that boy had enough time to demonstrate his skills on a thick butt.

Somebody needs to put it on bittorrent

Those clips are funny

Homebody needs to lose his manboobs tho

I'd much rather see a few good schools than many crap ones.

If there aren't enough spaces in schools, invite respected schools from abroad to open up more universities.

More crap universities in Nigeria won't benefit anyone 

Just creates more unemployable but overqualified workers.

@Frank-C: You might be right.

But if southern Nigerians don't take advantage of this opportunity to redraw the political map and are instead paralyzed by fear of the North, then perhaps we deserve to be enslaved/dominated by the North.

A lot can be done in 4 or 8 years if you roll up your sleeves. If the North was ruling for the next 4 or 8 years, you can be damn sure they'd take advantage of it without cowering in fear.

Who knows, maybe the British knew what they were doing when they left power with the north

namfav:
jos does not belong to the birom, it belongs to africans

What about Johannesburg? Or Tripoli? Or Nairobi?

If you say Africans, then why can't Nigerians (for example) go to those places freely?

And what of Sokoto? 

Who does that belong to?

namfav:
jos is on the african continent, who drew the borders? it surely was not the birom

What does this even mean? As of 1900, it was entirely Berom, was it not?

Anyway, the "African continent" argument doesn't fly. . . good luck trying to go to Egypt, Libya or South Africa w/o a visa

Isn't Jos smack dab in the middle of Berom territory? How did it become "not belonging to anybody"?

Haba!

I guess the Berom have learned their lesson about generosity, eh?

Generosity and hospitality in Nigeria (or the third world in general) will only come back to bite you in the @ss.

That is what I figure. Like, how many states do these old guard Fulani/Hausa/Kanuri feudalist types control?

Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, Kano, Jigawa, Bauchi, Yobe, Gombe, Borno, Adamawa. Everything else is either very mixed (Kaduna) or Middle Belt/Southern.

Even if we spot them Kaduna, that is 12 states.

Successfully cleave off the Middle Belt from the core North and keep the SW, SS, and SE in the fold and you pretty much win.

Basically, just play the same game of divide and conquer against the core North that they've played against us.

Of course, all of this assumes a certain measure of cleverness on GEJs part (or at least, whoever is advising him.)

dayokanu:
Dapo and Jenifa.

Get a room pls

Speaking of which.

I wonder if Seun would object to me sometime in the next month starting nairachat. Realtime web-based chat.

A bit more convenient than a forum for some things.

^-- Listened to too much southern rap music. My yoruba is terrible. I like basketball, not soccer/football.

Nothing too fatal though. . . working on each of those things (except for soccer, which is a boring sport.)

Anyway, I should probably stop derailing the thread

^-- Technically yes, culturally not quite. Working on the latter though, hopefully I'll have it down pat sometime within the next 4 or 5 years.

Jenifa_: Where in Nigeria are you from? Or what are you, if you do not mind me asking? Are you Nigerian? I'm not asking to be rude, but just somewhat curious.

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=587554.msg7560396#msg7560396 date=1295413651]Something I've always been curious about though, and i'm guessing this is the right topic to ask, is what the igbo people's relationship with the western cameroonians esp. with the whole bakassi thing. I'm sure there are many "igbos" in cameroon. what is the relationship there?
i put igbo in quotation for a reason.[/quote]If you are on a university campus, there are a couple articles on JSTOR about the Igbo experience in Cameroon and how the British Cameroons ended up voting overwhelmingly to join the French Cameroons rather than Nigera.

Available here: http://www.jstor.org/stable/523673
And here: http://www.jstor.org/stable/182769

Of course, that is just the perspective from a white guy and a Cameroonian. No doubt Igbo themselves will have a different perspective on the matter. I don't endorse the contents of the articles, etc, etc! Let nobody accuse me of tribalism.

If you cannot download 'em, let me know and I'll AIM/email 'em to you, or something.

Is it 100% clear that Middle Belt is even part of this monolithic north? I understand Eziachi and Dayokanu's perspective, but I don't even think their interests fully align these days. Why is it whenever a "Northern" candidate is put forth, it is a Fulani man? Is the Middle Belt likely to be shouting "one North" forever?

Freewilly:
And they say is only Igbos that do 419

Who told you that? Lots of dumb Yoruba kids in their 20s are doing CC fraud in the DC metro area. Maybe where you live most of the Nigerians are Igbo, but where I grew up they are mostly Yoruba. And they do the same dumb things everyone else does. . .

But they are usually clever enough not to get caught
