Attimes Yorubas' call the Igbos - Ajokuta ma momi ( meaning , he that eat pebbles /stone without drinking water). I guessed its becos of the igbo garri(eba) that was perceived to be on the hard side. lolllll!

Religion / Re: Major False Prophets In Nigeria - Must Watch Video added to last page of article by franktolk(m): 6:52pm On Oct 24, 2011
I never really wanted to comment, but I have to ;cos this thread is more of a misplaced priority.
1. Is it the responsibility of the Pastors or citizenry to repair the roads in Nigeria
2. Is it the responsibility of the Pastors or citizenry to guarantee good jobs,housing , food and shelter for the citizenry.

Nigeria has failed woefully, things have fallen apart completely and it will continue if we fail to hold our leaders responsible for the gross neglect of the citizenry.As long as polity in Nigeria is enshrined in tribalism instead of capability,as long as we fail to tackle corruption in the top echelon then Nigeria will continue to be a doomed state and we'll continue to see huge disparity amongst Nigerians.

Politics / Re: Muslims Killed While Praying On Eid Day In Jos by franktolk(m): 5:30pm On Sep 11, 2011
I am a christian, and am really ashamed at the attitudes of Northerners both christians and Muslims. Why cant we live together in peace. A northern xtian would not want to tolerate a muslim, a northern muslim will not want to tolerate a xtian. Nobody brought religion to this world u only acquire it , so why kill yourselves. This killing and cannibalism in the north goes beyond religion, I am a yoruba and I have muslim relatives and never have we had quarrels amongst ourselves. We celebrate our festivals together,wine and dine together,work together, we even marry each other cos we know our respective faiths ARE  sources of unity and medium of communal growth for the benefits of we all and not a source of confusion and divisions as demonstrated in the north over the years.
I am really ashamed to be associated with you guys and that is why there has not been any remarkable growth up north, but rather poverty, illiteracy,corruption of the highest order,hypocrisy and what have you and no wonder the north has been dragging the country back in her quest for growth.
Nairaland / General / Re: Do The Blind Dream? by franktolk(m): 9:49pm On Aug 10, 2011
I found this on the internet it may prove helpful

How do the blind dream? | Print [/size]|
I prefer not to attempt a very general answer, since more investigation on this topic is required. However, I will try to answer this question based on my own experience and the testimonies of many blind people, whom I thank for their cooperation.

Generally, those blind from birth and those who have lost their sight at an early age (up to 3 or 4 years) do not dream with visual images, but in their dreams they can speak, listen, feel, smell, taste, etc.

Those who have lost their sight at a later age (7 or 8 years) can at first dream with visual images, but they begin to lose these images as time goes by. In some cases, visual images disappear altogether.

Those who have lost their sight at an adult age usually can dream some days with visual images, and other days without them.

I quote below the testimonies of eight blind adults, who have voluntarily cooperated by describing their own dreams. This will give the reader a clearer idea about how blind people dream.

(Some of these people have used pseudonyms. Their testimonies were collected in 2003, and the age given for each person refers to that year).


Angela Marín, 27 years old. (Totally blind from birth).

“Usually my dreams are repeated, and people that I dream about are also repeated. I dream I am with my parents, or that I am at home or in the car or walking with my friends; in my dreams I don’t see them, but I know they are there and they talk to me and I hear them.

Once I dreamed that I was traveling to Cusco, Peru, on an airplane with my sister and some friends. And I said to them:

–But, how are we going to arrive? Cuzco is very high; the altitude might affect us.

And they said:

–Don’t worry. Come on! If we have some problems, we will go back.

In my dreams I don’t see, but sometimes I can smell.

Also, one day I dreamed I was eating and I could smell and taste the food.


Lucho Nakamatsu, 34 years old. (Totally blind from birth)

“I dream of the things I always do. For example, I like to talk about sports very much. Also I dream about the people that are usually with me (friends, relatives, etc.).


Pseudonym: Fernando, 29 years old. (Blind since he was nine months old, with total blindness)

“In my dreams I never see, but I can hear, speak and also smell. Also, I very rarely dream that I am walking along the street with a cane. However, in real life, I do it very often.

Sometimes I have dreamed that I talk with or hear people whose voice I have never really heard. For example, when I was 6 years old, I dreamed that I talked to a girl and obviously I could hear her voice. However, in real life I had never heard her, and people only talked to me about her.

At the time I was reading the famous novel The Count of Montecristo, I dreamed that I was talking to a woman who was one of the characters in the novel, and even though she was only a fictitious character, in my dream I could hear the voice of the woman.

Once I dreamed I was on the beach with some friends that I knew only in my dream. I was talking to them happily when suddenly a huge wave came. But before the wave reached me, I was lifted into the air by a great wind; I could clearly feel how that strong wind lifted me and I stayed in the air for about 6 or 10 seconds. Then I fell slowly onto a little wall that was very close to the beach, where my friends were, and they were making comments about what had happened to me. Then I continued to talk to them, happy and unhurt”.


Charo Galarza, 33 years. (Blind since she was 2 years old)

“In my dreams there are sound images, that is, voices and other sounds. I can also dream with smells and flavors. Obviously I don’t dream with visual images. I don’t often dream that I am walking with a cane. Usually, in my dreams I walk by myself in places I know, or in any case I walk with people who guide me.”


Pseudonym: Gustavo Adolfo, 40 years old. (Blind since he was 7 years old)

“Until I was 10 or 12 years old, I was able to see in my dreams. Then I started to dream without seeing.

When I could see in my dreams, I used to dream of places I knew, but when I started to dream without visual images, I dreamed about places I didn’t know.

I remember that when I was a child, I dreamed I was with a friend, and we were walking in the yard of a house, and I saw a stain at the back on a wall, and I told him it could hurt us. So he started to run. But when I tried to run, I felt as though my legs were made of lead and I couldn’t run or I ran with very slow heavy steps.

However, since I was 10 or 12 years old, I have not seen images in my dreams.

In the first dream where I could not see any more, I was in the school where I studied and I was walking in different parts of the school”.


John Hinojosa, 23 years old. (Totally blind since he was 9 years old)

“I lost my sight when I was nine years old and as time went by, I used to dream the way I perceive things now, that is, without sight.

When I was 15 or 16 years old, I dreamed I was in a colliseum with several people. And they asked me to give 3 numbers. And the first number I gave was 8. Then everybody shook his head to show disagreement with me, and everything started to be destroyed and people were smashed. Then I appeared in a desert land where there were mountains and hills, and it was as though there had been a great disaster. I could see the colliseum with the people and I could also see how everything was destroyed.

When I was 18 years old, about half of my dreams still were with sight. Now in my dreams I have less perceptible visual images. Seldom I dream of white things; I dream everything in semi-darkness or in grey color.

Since I have been blind I remember having dreamed only two or three times with light colors like white.

When I dream of people, I only hear them, but I dream of things with more detail. I dream most frecuently of the sea and of mountains and in my dream I can remember them, but I can not remember faces of people”.


Lucio Suárez Sánchez, 30 years old. (Totally blind since he was 17 years old)

“Sometimes I dream I am seeing and sometimes I dream like it is now, that is, without seeing, but I can hear.

Usually in the dreams that I can see, I am anywhere, but it is in a place where it is night, and only very few times I dream that I am seeing in daylight.

Also in my dreams I can see people I have known since losing my sight and I see them according to the descriptions people give me about them and I make in my mind a kind of inconscious visual projection of their faces”.


Víctor Hugo Vargas, 37 years old. (Blind since he was 20 years old)

“I had sight for a long time, so I have a fixed and precise idea of some things, but there are other visual images that with time are fading from my mind like a fog.

In many of my dreams I can see, but I don’t always dream that I am seeing.

Sometimes in my dreams there are simply sound images. There are dreams where I don’t remember whether I have seen or not. But there are other dreams where I see clearly, for example, a while ago, I dreamed I was reading a newspaper.

Generally my dreams are related to landscapes or to all kinds of events”.


I thank again all these people for their kindness and cooperation. I hope this section has been useful to readers, and that it can be used as a base for psychologists and those interested in studying and researching how the blind dream.

TV/Movies / Re: Ajuri Ngelale: Lebanese Reporter In AIT? by franktolk(m): 10:10pm On Jul 30, 2011
Nigerians, we too like wahala, even if the guy is a lebanese, is there anything wrong with that.AIT is an international TV station and I see no reason why they shouldn't go for the best hand anywhere in the world. Come to think of it, do you think we speak English the way it should be spoken? come abroad and you'll find out that very few people would understand our accents, a case of falling standard of education and collapse of organised system.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well. Hw soon do you want to get married? You know once you set ur mind on something the more u procrastinate bout it, the less it comes to reality. Infact  I can see a divine hand at work here, cos I have a good guy (when I said Good- this guy is good, he is  what a good girl like you should get ). I can link the two of you up, he's 32yrs old, just ur specs and statistics.

Education / Re: Pls Help Me On Linear Equation by franktolk(m): 1:28am On Apr 22, 2011
(4x+1) (x+3) - (x+5)(x-3) = (3x+1) (x-4)
4x2 + 12x +x +3 –(x2 -3x + 5x – 15) = 3x2 +12x +x -4
4x2 - x2 - 3x2 +13x -2x-13x = -4 -3-15
-2x = -22
Hence x = 11

@ Kabassa

I dont really understand your analysis of tribalism here. To me the greatest form of tribalism was exemplified by Nigerians who saw the truth,grace,uprightness,honesty and statemanship in BB and neglected it for mediocrity,lack of vision,betrayal of agreement,corrupt practices, and LUCK. Nigerians are like slaves tied with golden chains,but offered freedom but chose to remain in chains just because its golden.

I am a YORUBA MAN and a God fearing Xtian ! and I have chosen the path of truth, I 've chosen not to be tribalistic in my view.God help us. And for ur information Buhari was not the one that took Nigeria to Organisation of Islamic countries (OIC), it was Babangida and to garnish it; a xtian in the person of Obasanjo once attenDed one of OIC's meetings.
