Jokes EtcRe: Product Recall by Farriel(m): 4:35pm On Oct 03, 2005
Very powerful. Nothing to laugh about there, just absolutely symbolic and heart-stirring.
Jokes EtcRe: Dirty Slap! by Farriel(m): 4:31pm On Oct 03, 2005
Loved this one...particularly Kalu and Obj's inclusion in it. I hope they get through another 'dark tunnel' in no time.
LiteratureCrime Thriller E-books Wanted by Farriel(op): 4:17pm On Oct 03, 2005
E-books (Crime-thrillers)

I was wondering if anyone's got links to crime-thriller ebooks. Authors of great interest are Michael Crichton, Jeffery Deaver, James Patterson, John Grisham, Mario Puzo, Michael Connelly, Scott Turow, Dan Brown, Stephen King, etc.

If you've got links or have these ebooks yourself, please reply to this.
EducationRe: "Ababio" Chemistry Textbook - Osei Yaw Ababio by Farriel(m): 3:53pm On Oct 03, 2005
I wonder what was going then, I mean the relationship between your teacher and 'school manager' (a title I've never heard before).

As to Ababio, lots of guys in school then was in love with his book. To many then, he would remain a legend to them.
ProgrammingRe: Let's Set Up a Non-Profit Developer Network by Farriel(m): 3:34pm On Oct 03, 2005
Would be truly innovative and iconic, but I don't think there are chances most developers, particularly in Nigeria would find this worthwhile, like Seun pointed out.
ComputersRe: Newly Designed Laptop to Cost $100 (14,000 Naira) or Less by Farriel(m): 2:45pm On Oct 03, 2005
Yeah, but sadly, it's never going to be retailed. Never going to go out on sale for the public.
WebmastersRe: Worst Nigerian Website by Farriel(m): 2:37pm On Oct 03, 2005
Like I mentioned in my last post, Charlisco, the problem with the Neco site is more of it's usability and functionality. But all the same, sorry about the problems you experience while using it. But don't forget man, its still not the worst... smiley
WebmastersRe: Worst Nigerian Website by Farriel(m): 5:12pm On Sep 30, 2005
I can understand how you feel Charlisco. I also had the same frustrating experience trying to complete a cousin's registration. But IMO, it's not the worst Nigeria site on the web today, there are many worse ones. In terms of functionality, I think there's so much to be done to it, but design's not too bad.

Go back to my previous posts and discover the worsts...two links. Ohmywebsite, etc...
PoliticsRe: Pictures On the New 1,000 Naira Note by Farriel(m): 2:59pm On Sep 29, 2005
Yeah, IMO, the note sucks. Drab shit, sucking like a vacuum and having two past CBN governors on it. Who the hell are they anyway? I mean, as regards great people who have left their prints on the sands of time of Nigeria.
FamilyRe: Should A Woman Be Pregnant for Her Fiance Before Marriage? by Farriel(m): 4:01pm On Sep 28, 2005
This is hugely objective. Most guys having problems with child conception would want to agree with this. Others would suggest they wait until after marriage.

IMO, there's no harm in waiting.
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor T. B. Joshua: The Man in the Synagogue by Farriel(m): 3:25pm On Sep 28, 2005
Hmm, Pastor Donnie, I have a strong feeling that you're a Pastor in Synagogue.

The thing with this discussion is, it's easy to say what you believe. But since there is no way to "prove" whether this man is of the devil or God, I think there's no point in trying hard to change people's views about what they believe.

I once had a crash course on the Theory of Knowledge and I can point out some flawed logics in your posts so far, but that shouldn't be necessary. But at least there's no knowledge until unversally agreed upon, and since your opinion about this man's status is positive, then that should be yours.

I personally believe he's not of God, like many others, but you have such strong views about him and make such sweeping statements that I can't help but wonder. But you see, making statements like that wont convince a lot of people otherwise.
Christianity EtcRe: The Mormon Religion by Farriel(m): 2:01pm On Sep 28, 2005
Hmm, an interesting twist there Latoya. If you do understand that people shouldn't judge, tell me, why then is this topic of the Mormon Religion discussed?
BusinessRe: To Get Legitimate Credit Cards in Nigeria by Farriel(m): 12:16pm On Sep 28, 2005
Could you post the addy please, more people than just Afajack may just want to have it.
PoliticsRe: Bayelsa State Governor, Alamieyeseigha, Arrested In London! by Farriel(m): 4:25pm On Sep 26, 2005
Absolutely. The things that happen in it are entirely confusing.
PoliticsRe: Port Harcourt On Fire by Farriel(m): 4:07pm On Sep 26, 2005
Yeah, I heard about that. It's pathetic that the military could only stand and watch during that incident. Another exhibition of the government's failure in containing this crisis.
PoliticsRe: A Better Name for Nigeria? by Farriel(m): 9:08pm On Sep 24, 2005
Nigeria forever. Nothing should be changed.
Jokes EtcRe: Joke! L.O.L by Farriel(m): 8:32pm On Sep 24, 2005
A touch of strong lang there, but still funny. And yes, why's the penis saying he's rammed against a wall?
Jokes EtcRe: American 'Ghana Must Go' by Farriel(m): 8:09pm On Sep 24, 2005
Emmm....to that, I think he's black, and if he's actually, then he would be the Ghananian that Wesley thought the lady was. Besides, he's carrying just one, and she's hauling how many, six?
Jokes EtcRe: Just For Fun by Farriel(m): 7:52pm On Sep 24, 2005
I see. Now I'm sure I'm one of those who need to apologize, right? Anyway, you have my sincere apologies, just go ahead and explain.
Jokes EtcRe: American 'Ghana Must Go' by Farriel(m): 4:40am On Sep 24, 2005
She most likely could be a Nigerian, don't you think? Not with all the bags she's hauling.
Jokes EtcRe: Just For Fun by Farriel(m): 4:36am On Sep 24, 2005
Yeah, I have the same hunch. But at least there'd be some form of explanation on how it works from wherever he got it from. Should maybe post a link, whaddya say Layi?
Jokes EtcRe: Just For Fun by Farriel(m): 4:15am On Sep 24, 2005
Just tried the stuff and it worked like magic. Now would I call that magic or tragic, that a trick like that could come up with both the number I guessed and my real age?

Layi, could you please explain how this works?
Jokes EtcRe: Just For Fun by Farriel(m): 4:09am On Sep 24, 2005
I guess you're being congratulated for having achieved your age with the trick, three times, right?
Jokes EtcRe: American 'Ghana Must Go' by Farriel(m): 3:59am On Sep 24, 2005
Hell yes. I felt the same way about it.

It was a pathetic image, and yet because someone had said American 'Ghana Must Go', I smiled at it. But thing is, if we hadn't known about the events that led to that shot, it would have been a lot funnier.
Jokes EtcRe: "The Man From The Desert" by Farriel(m): 3:42am On Sep 24, 2005
Exactly that or quickly duck! Very funny joke.
ComputersRe: Cyber Cafe Network by Farriel(m): 1:18am On Sep 24, 2005
I honestly do not think that the era of cyber-cafes is fast phasing out. The market wouldn't be as profitable as it has been within the last 5 years, but they'd still be around for a longer time.

Not too many people can afford 5000 per month for Internet accesses in their homes, surely.

As for the cafe network plan, it's more or less a pipe-dream here in Nigeria.
Jokes EtcRe: American 'Ghana Must Go' by Farriel(m): 9:13pm On Sep 23, 2005
Is it only associated with poverty, Danfo? Isn't it greatly linked to looting here in Nigeria? As far as I know, there's no other bag being used by your friends here in Nigeria in the movement of cash from one office to their homes like this one.
Jokes EtcPsalm 129 by Farriel(op): 9:07pm On Sep 23, 2005
This is one joke I've read something quite similar to it here on Nairaland, but I just want to share this for the fun, cos I enjoyed it.

A priest offered a nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"

The priest apologized, "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."

Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Ranked 2nd Poorest Nation in the World by Farriel(m): 9:01pm On Sep 23, 2005
So so, Dora. I can't imagine what countries like Botswana and Burundi and others are ranked as if Nigeria is the second poorest nation. Maybe they weren't even considered for participation in the ratings wink. On papers in the offices of the World Bank, Nigeria could be the 2nd poorest, but in truth, it isn't. I honestly can't imagine anyone would think we actually are.

There are so many countries we are richer than, and not as per the amount of money flowing through the treasures of the country, but as regards the general standard of living for the average citizen. C'mon guys, y'all know better.
PoliticsRe: Bayelsa State Governor, Alamieyeseigha, Arrested In London! by Farriel(m): 8:34pm On Sep 23, 2005
Political bearing on this, true or not, it still remains a fact that this man (whether the Governor of a state) money-laundered, which is a crime anywhere but Nigeria.

It's embarrasing that Obasanjo attends conferences round the world, seeking Nigeria's debt-relief for a country that has the most natural resources in Africa and doubles as the continent's greatest oil exporter to have a 'Governor' of one of his states be arrested over such a crime. It's pathetic, what the international community is currently saying about Nigeria.

There are times when a person is guilty until proven doubly-guilty, and this is one of such occassions. The Ijaw people are a funny bunch (no pun intended) to be having such obscured views about an apparently clear fact, that a man they call the leader of their tribe is a criminal. I'm dismayed.

I merely hope his ass is fried, so at least other thieving Governors take cues and keep away from the western world each time they have an uncontrollable itch to fly somewhere with money. That way, they'd discontinue shooting the country's leg in the foot with their persistent compulsion to steal.
Jokes EtcRe: The Adulterous Doctor and the Nurse by Farriel(m): 7:20pm On Sep 23, 2005
What a joke?! I honestly laughed out loud to this, got colleagues in the office asking what was funny. Thanks mate, for the dose of healthy laughter.
PoliticsRe: Port Harcourt On Fire by Farriel(m): 7:02pm On Sep 23, 2005
I feel deeply sorry for the author of that post, I even dropped a comment expressing my sympathy.

I currently reside in Port Harcourt and can attest to the unrest. Aside some shootings at Garrison Junction, along PH/Aba Expressway, and some other bombings elsewhere, things have been relatively calm, except rumours fueling the escalating tension.

There are armed security officers at strategic locations of the city and to some degree, they have succeeded in maintaining peace and order, in an otherwise extremely volatile town, where one in ten teenage boys is armed, with either a machete as kodewrita pointed out, or a gun.

We all hope and pray the Asari of an individual is shot and killed like the criminal he is, at least so his followers who conjure in their minds, his invicibility and immortality (as absurd as it sounds), can take up more civil duties and put and end to this whole 'wahala.'
