FashionRe: Which Hand Is Right To Wear Wristwatch? by fatdon2(m): 7:29pm On Dec 21, 2014
I
believe the custom is to wear it on
your left wrist if you’re right-handed
and to wear it on your right if you’re
left-handed. It just makes sense when
you’re adjusting flywheels and throwing lariats, huh? Also, if you’re a
righty and your watch is on the left,
it’s going to be easier to set and wind
(assuming you’re a nonquartz
traditionalist). Aside from that, who
cares?

CelebritiesI Was Molested In Secondary School By A Priest – Lola Omotayo. by fatdon2(op): 7:15am On Dec 17, 2014
[b]Lola Omotayo-Okoye has made a shocking revelation that she was once a victim of child molestation in the hands of a Catholic Priest. Lola made this revelation while she was addressing young ladies at the Kinabuti Dare2Dream event. The mother of two told the girls that while she was in high school, she was molested by a Catholic priest, but couldn't tell anyone because she thought no one was going to believe her. “When I was a young girl in high school I was molested by a catholic priest and blamed myself. I was a child, I didn’t know any better, I didn't know what to think, I didn't know what to believe, I didn't know how to feel. I blamed myself, I didn’t tell anyone, I was embarrassed, I was ashamed. I didn't know if anyone was going to believe me and I didn't even know if anybody was going to believe me. I felt like I did something wrong. For many years, that incident stuck with me, I became rebellious, I was filled with hate, I didn't want to listen to anyone and it turned me into a very angry person,” Lola Omotayo-Okoye
said during a speech which was themed around not letting your past
define you. She further revealed that she was also in an abusive relationship while she was in the university in America before breaking out to start a new life of her own. She also told the girls that she was questioned and mocked when she started dating a then up and coming
musician in the person of her husband and music star, Peter Okoye of the PSquare fame.[/b]

martyns303:
Wow! soo many awards to spell my name, lets have the face of Albert Einstein on a currency then, No? How about Chinua Achebe, maybe Wole Soyinka? Since awards are the basis for being immortalised on a currency, how did her achievements impact Nigeria as a Nation? Am sure u will have to think for a very long time since 95% of the people above don't even know who she is, irrespective of the fact that she has been on the N20 note for decades, someone even thought she was just a painting (to put it more harshly, that's how insignificant her achievements are, that no one remembers her).

But then even a 10yr old would recognize Mandela, Ghandi and the Queen, Nigeria lacks people of such reputation. (Bite me if you want). I would rather have the face of an unknown soldier who fought the Biafran war to keep Nigeria an independent and single nation.

And stop cursing, it doesnt tell well of u.

Nigeria's best known potter who was awarded a Doctorate and was made MBE in 1963 for the level of detail and skill she utilized while making her pots.

Ladi Dosei Kwali (1925-1983) popularly known as Dr Ladi Kwali was born in 1925 in Kwali town in the present Federal Capital Territory, Abuja,Nigeria.

Probably she is the best known of the Abuja potters. Making pots was women’s work in Kwali and the entire Gwari villages, therefore Ladi came to Abuja (the then Suleja) with knowledge of traditional Gwari pottery.

She did not at first take to the idea of using wheels and kilns and the other paraphernalia of the European potter, but proved to have a natural ability to throw. She was picked from her traditional home Kwali to the then Abuja the present Suleja because of her natural ability in making pots.

The Abuja Pottery Training Centre was established 1950 by an English potter, Michael Cardew, who was sent to the Abuja area by the then colonial government, ostensibly to improve the quality of local work. But he found himself, for the next 15 years, in a symbiotic working relationship with local potters, in which he taught and was taught by potters like Ladi Kwali.

While Cardew introduced wheels and kilns to the centre, he also learnt about traditional firing methods and ornamentation. Kwali on the other hand, was initially reluctant to adapt to the wheel, preferring the spiralled coil method of building pots. She however, discovered she had a natural flair for the wheel. Cardew encouraged her to decorate her work, something she had not done before, and he even fired some of her traditional work in the Abuja kiln.

Ladi was later to become a very popular member of the touring lecture team; her easy nature and ability to communicate made her well liked and appreciated in Europe, Britain and America. She became Nigeria’s best known potter and has been honoured in many ways; she was given a doctorate.

By the time she died in 1983, Dr Ladi Kwali was Nigeria’s best known potter. She left a rich legacy of her work and a school of ‘students’ who picked up from where she left at the Abuja Pottery Training Centre. Over the next decade, her ornamentation skills
became more sophisticated, and probably because of improved firing methods, she had the opportunity to
exhibit her work in Europe in 1958, 1959 and 1962.

Her pottery was also displayed during Nigeria’s independence celebrations in 1960. Dr Ladi Kwali remained associated with the Abuja pottery works till she died. She gave lectures and demonstrations at home and abroad on her craft throughout her career.

PoliticsGovernor Fashola Declares Friday As Public Holiday For Lagos Workers. by fatdon2(op): 11:43am On Nov 06, 2014
Governor Fashola Declares Friday
as Public Holiday for Lagos
Workers; says “INEC owes Lagos an Explanation
on the Disappearance of 1.447
Million Voters from the Lagos
Voters’ List ” * Ahead the distribution of the
Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs, in
Lagos, Governor Babatunde
Fashola has queried the
disappearance of 1.447 million
voters from the Lagos voters’ list and called on the Independent
National Electoral Commission,
INEC, to explain the
disappearance.
This coming as the governor
declared Friday as holiday for all public servants to enable them
collect their PVCs. The distribution
of the PVCs kicks off in Lagos on
Friday and will end on Sunday.
During a statewide broadcast on
Wednesday, Fashola said he was shocked that INEC declared that it
would distribute 4.8 million PVCs in
Lagos State, whereas, during the
last election in 2011, the voters’
list in Lagos was 6.247 million
voters. “I am concerned about the report
of 4.8 million voters in Lagos State.
INEC owes us explanation. During
the last election, the voters’ list in
Lagos was 6,247,845 voters. We
want to know how 1,447,804 million voters disappeared from
the voters’ list.
“I am worried whether this is the
beginning of a plan to
disenfranchise Lagosians to vote.
Our government will stand for all eligble voters to have their names
in the register unless INEC could
prove why their names were
missing on the lists.
“INEC has to show to us what has
suddenly changed, there must be explanation. It does not make
sense to say we are 6.247 million
and now say we are 4.8 million.
There must be explanation,” he
reiterated.
The governor added that with the commencement of the distribution
of the PVCs, election process had
already begun, urging eligible
voters who have turned 18 years
to go and register.
“You have to register as a voter to be eligible to vote. We must take
it seriously to make sure our
names are in the voters register.
Go to the polling centre to collect
your PVC. No business or job can
be more important than to collect your PVC. Between 7-9 November,
for those who want to collect the
PVC, they should go our and
collect them,” he said.
The governor stated that for
those who had lost their temporary voters card and had
not registered previously, there is
a provision for them to begin
fresh registration between 12 and
17 November. Those who have not
register or cannot find their names should register on 12-17
November. This is in the second
phase.
Fashola added that civil servants
would have Frday as work-free
day to collect their PVCs, while appealing to other employers of
labour to close for work early on
Friday to allow their workers to
go out to collect their cards.
