I've always wanted to live in another time, preferably simpler but here's a few of my favorites to imagine...

During the European renaissance. The whole ordeal because it spanned awhile and each country had different apsects to it.

I wanted to also experience the Romanitc movement in Europe and the Transcendentalist movement in America.

Colonial America for it's simplicity and DIY lifestyle.

Specific decades I would like to have live through are...

Roaring 20s- Jazz and swing! I would want to have some money though so I wouldn't have to live in the cities. I heard they were quite disgusting health code wise.

50s- Birth of mainstream rock, beatniks, and pop culture. Also I am just a bit envious of how simple it seemed. Could be that way only due to television though.

60s- Largest counter cultural movement focusing on love and peace ever. Music was killer and to be honest I really have wanted to try LSD to see if I can get anything spiritually out of it.

70s- Pop culture in this decade still fascinates me as well as the music. Rock got both hard and soft with soft rock topping the charts and the underground punk scene burgeoning. Let's not forget disco!

80s- I'm not a fan of the fashion but once again the music and pop culture is what I want to live through.

90s- This decade would be the most modern for me. I was born in 1989 so I did get to really experience . The music was just a mix mash of everything.

I often find myself dreaming how amazing it would be to have been born around 100 BC and be immortal so I could experience the whole world change, have all the time in my life to travel and see how everything evolves. Oh and the medieval clothing... I would love that so much.

I also wonder if it was the 50's or 60's 0r 70's or 80's or even the 90's would Gangnam Style be as popular and widely accepted as it is Music, life , choices have drastically dwindled ... I wish i was my dad so i could see how cool there was ... Share your thoughts please ... Below is a picture of the Gangnam style and a song by Eric Clapton ...

soup sweet na money cos am ... You when buy phone no no say u go know your dial key and answer key ?

Anything wen make me brush after breakfast am automatically hungry again ... For some reason i only brush when am sure there is breakfast ...

So what happened to another story that they police actually saw the boys and they had actually given the mob to go ahead and burn the kids ? This story na normal gist , this is all the have to say ... They couldn't have told us any story .. As for me, i don't buy it ooo ... When you got the distress call, didn't you know they whole community was involved ? When you got there presumably with your vehicle and with weapons , why didn't they fire warning shots ? Why didn't the police stay there to calm things down while reinforcement arrives ? Are the police not from that locality ? Don't they know a few people that would see reasons with them to calm the mob ? Nothing beats the fact that human lives were butchered .. Who in there right mind would watch and laugh and allow some one die in that manner ... If some body said something , maybe the police maybe that would cause a spark .... These are all stories ... Nigeria is a Failed system ... We are all sick and tired of hearing these everyday ... Some one should be help accountable .. Show us credible reasons that this case will not be swept under the rug ... We are all tired .. Those boys may be strangers to most of us , but what if it happens to our family ? Even in Osun state , the abducted speaker's wife we all heard how mob of security personnel were on hand .. These boys were butchered for hours , isn't that enough time for police reinforcement to arrive ... Too many questions , no answer .. Typical Nigeria everyday story ... Everything in this country seems like politics ...... Fours kids died we all cried , now tears have stopped , what are we doing ... lets not stay back and let them feed us with stories .......

Any link abeg .... This ditch hole wen i dey no TV ... Give me link abeg ....

Victor Moses has passed his medical and is officially a Chelsea player. https://twitter.com/intent/user?screen_name=ESPNsoccernet

Chelsea’s roster is nearly ready to begin the upcoming Premier League season, but Wigan Athletic forward Victor Moses would be the final piece of the puzzle.

Fernando Torres is extremely talented, and Daniel Sturridge, at 22 years old, has considerable upside, but Moses is only 21 years of age. Adding him to the fold would provide much-needed depth on Chelsea’s attack while also adding upside for the future of the club.

Moses’ arrival is expected at some point for the Blues

Wigan reportedly value Moses at nearer £10m, and speculation has increased in the last 48 hours that the 21-year-old is poised to join Chelsea.

But Neil Fewings, who is the agent for Moses, has moved quickly to deny the reports.

“Reports that a £9m deal has been agreed between Chelsea and Wigan are not true,” Fewings said.

This should not stop the Blues from pursuing Moses. He’s a versatile offensive talent who has not reached his full potential yet. Allowing him to develop alongside the likes of Torres and Sturridge is an opportunity Roberto Di Matteo should not pass up without a fight.

Moses played for Crystal Palace from 2007-10, notching 58 appearances and 11 goals. After making the move to Wigan Athletic, he racked up 72 more appearances and eight goals.

He’s used at multiple positions, but his skills lend themselves to the wing. He’s a talented attacker who thrives in open space. He’s a bit undersized, but his agility in the open field allows him to create for his teammates.

Moses isn’t going to score 30 goals next season, and he’s not necessarily ready to bear the brunt of an entire Premier League attack, but Di Matteo cannot enter the season with the attackers on his current roster.

Sturridge and Torres are good, without a doubt, but they’re still only two players. If one were to get hurt or fail to produce, the Blues’ situation would be much worse.

Adding Moses to the fold would promote depth in the short term and production in the long term. He isn’t exactly cheap, but he’s worth the price if he’s developed properly.

Lithuania, Russia, and Nigeria complete the line-up having secured qualification through the OQT, held in Caracas, Venezuela from 1-8 July.

Immediately after the conclusion of the tournament, the three qualified teams were drawn into the two groups of six teams, previously determined at the Olympic Basketball Draw in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 30 April, as follows:

Group A: Lithuania, Tunisia, USA, France, Nigeria, Argentina
Group B: China, Great Britain, Brazil, Australia, Russia, Spain
(order of teams determined by way of draw)

ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria lacks competent leaders to tackle its security problems, a former military ruler said on Monday, following Christmas Day bomb attacks on churches by Islamist militants that killed more than two dozen people.
Muhammadu Buhari, a northerner who lost the last presidential election in April to incumbent Goodluck Jonathan, said in a statement in a Nigerian daily that the government was slow to respond and had shown indifference to the bombings.


The Boko Haram Islamist sect, which aims to impose sharia law across Africa's most populous country, claimed responsibility for three church bombings, the second Christmas in a row it has caused carnage at Christian houses of worship.
Security forces also blamed the sect for two explosions in the north and fear is growing that Boko Haram is trying to ignite a sectarian civil war in a country split evenly between Christians and Muslims who for the most part co-exist in peace.
"How on earth would the Vatican and the British authorities speak before the Nigerian government on attacks within Nigeria that have led to the deaths of our citizens?" Buhari said in the statement published by Punch newspaper.
"This is clearly a failure of leadership at a time the government needs to assure the people of the capacity to guarantee the safety of lives and property," Buhari said.
He said the government needed to do more than spend more on security to deal with the problem.
Jonathan, a Christian from the south who is struggling to contain the threat of Islamist militancy, called the attacks "unfortunate" but said Boko Haram would "not be (around) forever. It will end one day."

Pope Benedict on Monday condemned the attacks as an "absurd gesture" and prayed that "the hands of the violent be stopped."
The pope, speaking from his window overlooking St Peter's Square in Rome, said such violence brought only pain, destruction and death.

COORDINATED ATTACKS
The attacks, which came a few days after clashes between security forces and Boko Haram killed at least 68 people, show evidence of increasing coordination and strategy by the group that could ring alarm bells in Nigeria and Western capitals.
St. Theresa's Catholic Church in Madala, a satellite town about 40 km (25 miles) from the centre of the capital Abuja, was packed when the first blast exploded just outside after Christmas mass.
A few hours later, blasts were reported at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Church in the central, ethnically and religiously mixed town of Jos, and at a church in Gadaka in the northern state of Yobe. Residents said many were wounded in Gadaka, but there were no immediate further details.
A suicide bomber killed four officials at the State Security Service in one of the other attacks in the northeastern town of Damaturu, police said. Residents heard two loud explosions and gunfire in the town.
A Reuters reporter at the church near Abuja saw the front roof had been destroyed, as had several houses nearby. Five burnt out cars were still smoldering. There were scenes of chaos, as shocked residents stared at the wreckage in disbelief.
"Mass just ended and people were rushing out of the church and suddenly I heard a loud sound: 'Gbam!' Cars were in flames and bodies littered everywhere," Nnana Nwachukwu told Reuters.
Father Christopher Barde, Assistant priest of the church, said: "The officials who counted told me they have picked up 27 bodies so far." Police cordoned off the area around the church. Thousands of furious youths set up burning road blocks on the highway from Abuja leading to Nigeria's largely Muslim north.
Police and the military tried to disperse them by firing live rounds into the air with tear gas.
"We are so angry!" shouted Kingsley Ukpabi, as a queue of hooting vehicles lined up behind his flaming barrage.

VIOLENCE SPREADS
Boko Haram - which in the Hausa language spoken in northern Nigeria means "Western education is sinful" - is loosely modeled on the Taliban movement in Afghanistan.
Its low level insurgency used to be largely confined to northeastern Nigeria, but it has struck several parts of the north, centre and Abuja this year.
Last Christmas Eve, a series of bomb blasts around Jos killed 32 people, and other people died in attacks on two churches in the northeast.
At the church near Abuja, a wounded man whose legs were almost shattered to pieces by the blast was loaded onto a stretcher near an ambulance by security services.
"I'll survive," he said in a hushed voice.
The blast in Jos, a tinderbox of ethnic and sectarian tensions where deadly clashes between Muslims and Christians have occurred, was accompanied by a shooting spree by militants, who exchanged fire with local police, said Charles Ezeocha, special task force spokesman for Jos.
"We lost one policeman and we have made four arrests. I think we can use them to get more information and work on that," he said. Police found four other explosive devices in Jos, which they deactivated, he added.
The White House condemned "this senseless violence and tragic loss of life on Christmas Day."
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also condemned the attacks and expressed his condolences "to the people of Nigeria and to the bereaved families."
"The Secretary-General calls once again for an end to all acts of sectarian violence in the country and reiterates his firm conviction that no objective sought can justify this resort to violence," a statement released by his office said.

[b]May God Help us All ,  Now we got to be thinking is this going to stop or where is the next attack .[/b]

Men dis babe wor wor now , Jeezz ,

I don't see what Ghadaffi did wrong in Lybia , If Nigeria had a president like him this country would have been better , Even though he stayed longer as president but i don't agree to the way he was killed. It was Gruesome , Well the Lybians know what they faced with him , But again the International community wasn't right to have allowed and even supported the NTC in killing in battle, US ' ur judgment awaits you' , All hail Ghadaffi , the world will miss you, Great leader of "rats"

When will SE stop giving us Heat attack ? After getting our hopes high now they just conceded , Shhhiiitttt ,

Lets put our heads together and pray against all evil forces standing against our victory on this game , IJN  ,
