Religion / Re: From Pastor To Atheist: Why I Will Never Be A Christian Again by fashmania(m): 12:53pm On May 01, 2016
HardMirror:
Am I implying that Insincerity, selfishness and ignorance is what is keeping Christians as christians.
The answer is a BIG YES!
The moment I began asking god the questions such as the one in my last post, that very moment I began to discover the falsehood of christianity.
If you are sincere and truely concerned about your fellow man, you realize god is more wicked, stupid and incapable than the presumed devil.

this really got me laughing. I was chatting with a female friend yesterday. they had a vigil in her church on Friday. so I asked her on Saturday if she remembered to pray for me too and she answered "maybe". so I asked her why maybe, she said she didn't know because she prayed in tongues. So I asked her the difference between praying in tongues and praying using normal languages. she said praying in tongues is better because the devil doesn't know the language. and I was like wtf? so I asked her, if the devil doesn't understand the language, how come you guys chase demons out with the same language? her response was "you can't understand". what's so difficult to understand in that?

He's the President of Zimbabwe, Robert Gabriel Mugabe.
President Robert Gabriel Mugabe, Africa's most educated president and supposedly world's most educated president as well, was born on February 21, 1924, in Kutama, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), just months after Southern Rhodesia had become a British Crown colony. As a result, the people of his village were oppressed by new laws and faced limitations to their education and job opportunities.
Although many people in Southern Rhodesia went only as far as a grammar school, Mugabe was fortunate enough to receive a good education. He attended school at the local Jesuit mission under the supervision of school director Father O'Hea. A powerful influence on the boy, O'Hea taught Mugabe that all people should be treated equally and educated to the fulfillment of their abilities. Mugabe's teachers, who called him "a clever lad," were early to recognize his abilities as considerable.
Mugabe holds seven academic degrees from South Africa's Fort Hare University, University of South Africa (Unisa) and University of London. Six of Mugabe's university degrees were actually earned while he was doing distance learning and of the six, he got two of them while he was in prison. The seven hard-earned degrees cover a broad range of disciplines including education, economics, administration, and law.
Over the course of nine years, President Mugabe studied privately while teaching at a number of mission schools in Southern Rhodesia. Mugabe continued his education at the University of Fort Hare in South Africa, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and English in 1951. Mugabe then returned to his hometown to teach there. By 1953, he had earned his Bachelor of Education degree through correspondence courses.
In 1955, Mugabe moved to Northern Rhodesia. There, he taught for four years at Chalimbana Training College while also working toward his Bachelor of Science degree in economics through correspondence courses with the University of London. After moving to Ghana, Mugabe completed his economics degree in 1958.

Foreign Affairs / Who Has Ever Wondered The Rate At Which We Waste Food? by fashmania(m): 11:37am On Aug 30, 2015
I was on twitter this morning and I saw some post by a user (@the generalis) and it got me thinking about the rate at which we waste food.

It's estimated that a whopping 4billion tonnes of food is wasted worldwide every year, and about 870 million people worlwide are under-nourished (see the pictures below).
We blame the government for this due to inadequate processing facilities etc... But we have to look at ourselves, how many times have we bought food at an eatery, took a few bite or mound or spoonful and leave the rest? How many times have we disposed raw foods, foods that some people would kill for, foods that got other people killed (I read a news not quite long about a guy getting burned because he stole a pot of soup). Instead of disposing that raw food in your kitchen, find a hungry soul, if you can't do that, we have motherless-babies homes around that you can donate the food to. Thank you.

Politics / Re: Adamawa To Spend N200 Million On Prayer Warriors, Vigilante To Curb Boko Haram by fashmania(m): 2:36pm On Aug 14, 2015
dayo23:
The Adamawa State Government on Friday announced that it had earmarked N200 million to engage prayer warriors to seek divine intervention toward ending the state’s lingering security challenges.

Abdurahman Jimeta, the Chief of Staff to the Adamawa governor disclosed this in a media chat aired on the Adamawa State Television, which was monitored by the News Agency of Nigeria in Yola.

Mr. Jimeta explained that the money was sourced from the state and local governments joint account.
“We have earmarked N200 million for prayers to seek for Allah’s intervention in tackling the Boko Haram menace and other insecurity challenges threatening the stability of the state,” Mr. Jimeta said.

He said that part of that money, which would be spent as security votes, would go into assisting local vigilance teams and security operatives.
On agriculture, he explained that the state government had ordered fertilisers worth over N3 billion for the 2015 farming season.

He called for massive support toward the success of government efforts for a peaceful and stable Adamawa, adding that not much could be achieved in an atmosphere of chaos.
Adamawa is one of the three states most ravaged by the Boko Haram insurgency which has caused the death of about 20,000 people since 2009.

"He said that part of that money, which would be spent as security votes, would go into assisting local vigilance teams and security operatives."

Music/Radio / Mama 2015, Predicting The Winners by fashmania(m): 9:08am On Jul 08, 2015
The MTV Africa Music Awards which
began in 2008 by MTV Networks
Africa now “Viacom International
Media Networks Africa” is one of
the major music awarding ceremonies
held annually in Africa. It involves
the participation of some of the
most well-known artistes and
celebrities in Africa.
Without disputing fact, MTV Africa
Music Award is one of the most
respected and competitive award in
the world of entertainment today
and it has spread its tentacles all
over the countries including Africa.
The nominees of this year’s awards
were unveiled at Haren,
Johannesburg, South Africa at a
press briefing which was attended by
some of the nominees including Seyi
Shay, Black Motion, Bucie, Casper
Nyovest and Diamond Platnumz and a
host of other, celebrities and media.
Fact findings revealed that a total
of 70 artistes were nominated,
across 13 different categories.
Nominees for additional categories,
including the MTV Base Leadership
Award and Best International Act
were not exempted.
MAMA 2015 full Nominees list cut
across, Best male, Best Female, Best
group, Best Hip Hip, Best
collaboration, Song of the year,
Best Live, Video of the year, Best
Pop and Alternative, Best
Francophone, Best Lusophone and
Personality of the year.
As the award ceremony draws
nearer, I have taken time to study
the nominations, follow the
nominated artistes closely and have
been able to come up with unbiased
predictions of possible winners this
year.
Check them out…

Best Male
This category has the biggest male
artistes from the continent battling
it out to clutch the award. This
category is one of the toughest
considering the artistes nominated.
Nominated in this category are
Diamond, AKA, Davido, Wizkid and
Sakodie. From my personal fact
findings, MAMA 2015 Best male award
will likely go to Diamond from
Tanzania because he has had an
incredible 2014/2015, which attracted
world recognition.

The Best Female
This category has great singers like
Bucie, Bussiwa, Seyi Shay, Vanessa,
Mdee, Yemi Alade. From all
indications, MAMA 2015 female
category will likely go to Yemi
Alade because she clearly had a
good year, with countless
appearances across various stages
around Africa and outside the
continent. He video for “Johnny” is
the most viewed female music video
in Nigeria and no other female song
comes close to hers in Africa.

Best Group
This category has P-Square, Sauti
Sol, Beatenberg, Black Motion and B4
as nominees. I will tip PSquare to
take the award in this category,
considering the fact that they still
remain the biggest group in Africa
and their new album, ‘Double
Trouble’ presently boasts of about
6 videos and 4 of these videos
enjoyed the No 1 spot on MTV
Africa top 10 count down and
various other music charts.

Best Hip Hop
This is another keenly contested
category with the likes of Olamide,
Phyno, Youssoupha, K.O and Casper
Nyovest from South Africa. Olamide
or Phyno no doubt, appeal to
Nigerians, but they may end up
sharing votes, which is why Casper
Nyovest may get this award. His
current performance and stage
command may pay off on this one.

Best Collaboration
Slugging it out in this category are
AKA feat, Burna Boy, Da Les & JR
“All Eyes on Me”, Davido featuring
Uhuru and DJ Bukz “The Sound”,
Diamond and Iyanya – “Bum Bum”,
Toofan and DJ Arafat – “Apero
Remix”, Stanley Enow and Sakodie –
“Njama Njama Cow Remix”. Honestly,
this is a very tricky category, but
I will give it to All Eyes on ME,
by AKA featuring Burna Boy, Da Les
and JR. The reason is not
farfetched – the synergy between
the artistes was on point, a feat
that is somewhat difficult to
achieve when you have more than
two people on a song. I may be
wrong, but if I will hand this
plaque, I would give it to “All Eyes
On Me”, but if there’s room for a
second place, then I would also
mention Davido and Uhuru – “The
Sound”

Song of the Year
This is another highly competitive
category, as it features some of
the biggest songs from the
continent with nominations for
“Dorobucci” by the Mavins, “Shoki” by
Lil Kesh feat. Olamide and Davido
and others. Well, I will give it to
“Dorobucci” by Mavins. I feel that
it’s the biggest African tune of the
2014/2015. The song rocked all the
nooks and cranny of Africa, even
several months after its release.

Best Live
Best live category nominees – Big
Nuz, Diamond, Flavour, MI Casa,
Toofan (Togo). I will gice this one
to Flavour. His kind of music is
mostly produced with live
instruments, hence, it is easy for
him to perform live and make it as
believable as the recorded version.
Flavour is also an instrumentalist
and a music scholar, I will be
surprised if he doesn’t win this
category.

Video of the Year
This category comprises of hot
videos such as “Crazy”, “Doors”,
“Love You Every day”, “Nafukwa” and
“The Sound” by Davido featuring
Uhuru and DJ Bukz. I will give this
one to “The Sound”, directed by
Sesan. Apart from South Africa, no
country makes good videos like
Nigerian directors do. All the videos
in this category are great, but the
sky dive, sahara, costume and dance
moves should give this award to
Davido and Sesan.

Best Pop and Alternative
This category entails artistes like
Fuse ODG , Jeremy Loops, Jimmy
Nevis, Nneka, Prime circle. I will give
rather give it to Nneka because of
her buoyancy and the strong theme
of her music.

Best Francophone
This category has artistes like DJ
Arafat, Jovi Laurette Lepeade, Tour
2 Garden, and Toofan. I will give it
to DJ Arafat because he’s been able
to gain relevance in Anglophone
countries where music listeners do
not really understand what he’s
singing. His move to collaborate
with some English speaking artistes
has also helped with his diversity
and continent wide recognition.

Best Lucophone
This category has Ary, B4, Nelson
Frectas, NGA and Yuri Da cunha. I
will rather choose B4 of Angola.
This is because B4’s performances
has given him nominations in other
categories, which cannot really be
said about his contenders.

Personality of the year category
Here we have Basketmouth, Bonang
Matheba, OC Ukeje, Trevor Noah, and
Yaya Toure. I will give it to
Basketmouth because of his hilarious
and mind-blowing performances in
both national and international
comedy shows. He’s not just a big
name, he’s a force to reckon with. I
don’t even see anyone beating him in
this category.

Best New Act : Transformed
Today by Absolut
This category gave nods to nominees
from around the continent, including
Cassper Nyovest (South Africa), Anna
Joyce (Angola), Duncan (South
Africa), Patoranking (Nigeria) and
Stonebwoy (Ghana). Now, this
category is very tight. All the
contenders are strong, but the
stronger artistes for me, would be
Patoranking and Stonebwoy.
Patoranking has been cutting across
several boundaries with her music
and has been very busy performing
on the biggest stages in Nigeria and
outside Africa. Stonebwoy on the
other hand needs no introduction. He
won the last BET Best African Act
award, a honour that skyrockets his
chances ten notches away from his
contenders in this category. Matter
of fact, I think Stonebwoy deserves
this award.

MAMA 2015, will hold on
July 18, 2015 in Durban,
South Africa and will be
hosted by American
artiste, songwriter and
producer – Ne-Yo.
Romance / Men Who Cook: What Do You Think, Ladies? by fashmania(m): 7:23am On Jul 08, 2015
Think of your checklist for the "perfect man," he's kind, gentle, handsome and hardworking, he has a good job and he's respectful of your choices, right? Should you add a good cook too? Because, according to Harris Interactive, 32 percent of men adore cooking, and 46 percent enjoy it when they have th e time. A lot of men take pleasure in cooking, and women can reap the benefits of that.

Whose “Job” Is It to Cook?
Although many modern couples have made
progress when it comes to avoiding gender
stereotypes, historically, because of legal and
cultural practices, combined with time-honored
religious and educational practices, women
spent centuries in charge of the household. In
Victorian time, an ideal women was even called
“the Angel in the House.” Women stayed home
and took care of the entirety of the cleaning
and coking. Eating out was a rare treat.
Even though sixty years ago, American women
began heading off to the workplace in droves,
it’s been hard for families to move away from
the idea that housework and cooking are
women’s work—even though she may work
outside the home as long as or even longer
than her mate. Modern couples need to have
conversations about the equal distribution of
household responsibilities. Men can absolutely
cook—either on a rotational basis with their
wives or girlfriends or in exchange for the
women of the house performing some other
household chore or errand on a regular basis.
You can always cook meals together, too.

Does a Man in Your Kitchen Threaten You a Little?
On the other hand, many women grew up with
mothers who did most or all of the cooking.
Perhaps their fathers grilled on days with
good weather and were in charge of the annual
Thanksgiving turkey, but that was about it.
Realizing your spouse or partner wants to
step up in the kitchen can be a bit of a
shock at first. Perhaps you enjoy it for a
meal or two, but eventually you start to
feel that the space you defined for yourself
with your rules and techniques is being
steamrolled over. However, if that’s the case,
you’re looking at it all wrong. Don’t focus on
what the man in your life is doing to your
kitchen, be thankful you are getting to do
something else.

The Sexy Amateur Chef
Being able to rely on your boyfriend or
husband to cook at least half of the meals
in your house can prove to be a relief for
the modern busy woman, and there’s nothing
sexier than being given a chance to relax at
the end of the day. Don’t discount your
contribution if you’re a stay-at-home mom,
either. Watching the kids all day and taking
care of the house is more than a full-time
job, so your husband can absolutely pitch in
by doing the cooking.
More women should absolutely place “pulls his
weight around the house” on their list of
“perfect man” traits. While some women may
feel like one of their talents is being usurped
when a man does the cooking, others
appreciate the break from the kitchen. All in
all, sharing the cooking benefits you both,
and it gives you a chance to try new dishes
you might have never made yourself.

When the churches were being attacked, instead of addressing the issue, they ignored it and even some of them added fuel to the already burning fire! Remember what happened during the days of Jehosaphat? Yes! God's enemies (The Allah boys aka Boko Haram) are now turning against themselves and also killing their fellow religious faithfuls!!! Look here! This is God in action! He shall fight for us and we shall hold our peace! So, in as much as I don't support the killings, why should I pity any1? Dump that religion and know the true meaning of PEACE!!!

they want to arrest him as if he was the one who built it.

they are calling for his head because he failed to give sensible verbal response (blaming boko-haram or some witchcraft)... if he had initiated this by suing the engineering firm in charge of the construction of the building, I'm very sure he'd have been looked at with less... pls complete it.
