Alvaro how did you work out how to beat Man Utd ?
"I used my head."

The day I got 1/10 in mathematics
The old man flogged me mercilessly without even knowing the rest of the class got zero.
The worst part of it was that he didn't even allow me to eat and rest before flogging me

The whole thing just weak me.

"Microsoft" is one of those brand names that's so familiar — like Coca-Cola or McDonald's — that you probably don't even think twice about what it means, or its origin. Off the top of your head (no Googles!), do you know where Microsoft got its name?

It's simple really, and even if you don't know right away, it's obvious once you read the explanation. The name is actually a "blend word" of sorts, in which two other words combine to make one.

From a 1995 Forbes magazine interview with Microsoft cofounders Bill Gates and Paul Allen:

"Gates: When we signed that first contract with MITS, we referred to ourselves as 'Paul Allen and Bill Gates doing business as Micro-Soft.' I don't remember why we spelled it with a hyphen and a capital 'S.' We put a credit line in the source code of our first product that said, 'Micro-Soft BASIC: Bill Gates wrote a lot of stuff; Paul Allen wrote some other stuff.''

"Allen: We had talked about a lot of different names back in Boston, and at some point I said, 'Well, the totally obvious name would be Microsoft."

"Gates: We also had mentioned names like Outcorporated Inc. and Unlimited Ltd., but we were, you know, joking around. We talked a lot about whether we should call it Allen & Gates, but decided that was not a good idea."

"Allen: Yeah. Because companies like DEC and IBM weren't named after personalities, they would have a longevity and identity way beyond the founders..."

"Gates: ...and it seemed like a law firm or like a consulting company to call it Allen & Gates. So we picked Microsoft even before we had a company to name."

So why combine "micro" and "soft?" In the 1970s, before Microsoft was a thing, Gates and Allen got their start developing MICROcomputer, or MICROprocessor, SOFTware. And it was actually Allen that originally came up with the name.

The company was originally formed in 1975, but it didn't officially incorporate until years later in 1981.

So, come on, Nairalanders, be honest, did you know the origin of the name Microsoft before you read this post? Let's see your comments below (We'll know if you're lying … )

War Starts Between Ohaneze Ndigbo And Buhari As Buhari Appoints Mustapha As Secretary To The Government Of The Federation Instead Of An Igbo Man.

On Monday, President Buhari approved the appointment of Boss Mustapha, as the new Secretary General of the Federation. Mustapha’s appointment comes after the former SGF, Babachir Lawal, was sacked following his indictment in the misappropriation of funds meant for the welfare of IDPs.

In a statement released yesterday, President of Ohaneze Ndigbo, John Nwodo, said the appointment of Mustapha as the new SGF and not an Igbo person, has further given credence to the obvious marginalization of the Igbos in the Buhari-led administration.

“It shows the President’s insensitivity to the over-flogged issue of marginalization of Ndigbo by his administration. We had thought that the recent meeting of South East leaders with the President at the Aso Rock Villa opened an avenue for a new relationship with the zone which appointing an SGF from the area would have helped to cement especially as the ruling party originally zoned the position to the region’
According to Chief Nwodo, appointing an Igbo man as SGF would have helped to heal wounds and reconcile a disgruntled people who believe that this government has overtime ignored the Igbos.

He wondered how President Buhari cannot find somebody from the South East he can trust for the SGF position. The Ohanaeze president urged the President to open his mind and have a positive attitude about Ndigbo whose contributions to the socio economic and political development of the country is not in doubt.

This is exactly what someone sent to me on whatsapp and I keep wondering how can somebody stay in his room and conjure such lies and start spreading it around. How can Nigerian Army infect conduct free medical care to inject people with virus. The way we spread rumors in this country is something else. Worst still, it is the literate ones among us that will rush and forward the message on whatsapp without even thinking of how true the rumor is.

The person that licked the soup pot was the one that eat the meat. How can a virus break in the same region you conducted a free medical care.

This woman is the definition of a slut!!!


you want to reap where you didn't sow abi


after seducing the poor man in order to become a baby mama and have easy access to his money.


It is only a fool that will give a cent to a greedy olosho

Wtf do you know. She asking for child support is what you call greed. If ideye knows he cannot do the needful, he should have kept his dick one place.

I have always told people that if you want to hear funny commentary and analysis they should come and watch Nigeria match. I will fault you in so many ways.

1. You can't say Ezenwa is not good. Infact he is a decent goal keeper, he can be comical but he holds his own when called upon. Ezenwa saved a shot that bounced in front of him and everyone including me thought that ball was save by the second bar but upon replay we saw that ezenwa parried the ball out. I will tell you how many times I have seen that kind of ball inside the net even in the great English premiere league. Credit also to the Zambia goal keeper for a wonderful save from Ndidi's header.

2. Our defence average? Seriously this is the best defence Nigerian have ever had in the past 20years. Energetic and young, and ever willing to win a match.

Always appreciate African referee's. Even with all the technology provided for European referee's we still see refereeing blunders in their leagues.

I will tell you one thing, the super eagles have achieved victory against other countries than the Nigerian Army.

I just love my gionee f103 pro. Lovely device.

I got a notification telling me to update my android phone , is there any need to do so? because the update will cost me about 400mb.

Since it's just 400mb. Then it's a bug fix/ security patch. Yes there is need to do the update but at your own convenient time.

soberdrunk:
Who should i say the message is from?

I am Osisikankwu..... Tell him he is a stupid old man

So you are expecting the Chief of the Armed Thieves of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to understand the meaning of negotiable from non-negotiable when he have no clinical evidence of brain function upon physical examination.

DestinyGodwin:
please i need help on my compaq system
recently whenever i turn it on it shows Boot device not found

There are many problems why boot device was not found. And the only solution I can give you is to format your system by reinstalling windows afresh.

soberdrunk:
Young lady be careful what you type when referring to the Commander-in-chief of armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.....

You mean the uneducated Chief of the Armed Thieves.

Go and tell him he is a stupid old man.

It is generally believed that most human beings are good and favorable. However, the truth is that, unfortunately, there is evil among people.
Here are 12 signs that a specific person is evil so that you can take measures to remove them out of your life:

1 – They like to deny reality
Simply put, these people live in denial. They don’t look at reality as the rest of us do, and recognizing the truth is simply against their nature.

2 – They twist the facts
Twisting the facts of a given situation is something they do the best. They use this manipulative trick to twist truth into something bad in order to afflict the people around them.

3 – They withhold information
These people often use lying or withholding information in order to control a given situation. These intentions are their means of compromising the integrity of others and use them for their own benefit.

4 – They mislead people
By twisting the facts and making you believe in the opposite of what actually happened they manipulate those around them. Whether the situation is already bad, they try to make it worse for you.

5 – They carry out not feel atrocious approximately the things they carry out
Evil individuals always try to dominate others by stepping on anyone in their way. Whether they want to afflict you, they will carry out without worrying how it is done as they basically feel pleased when someone is suffering.

6 – They lie a lot
These people lie so much that they could be classified as pathological liars. They use this trait to fool those around them, which is like a game for them. The more they lie, the more pleasure they feel.

7 – They refuse to remove responsibility for their actions.
Evil people rarely take responsibility for their actions, as this is not part of their moral code. Instead of being responsible individuals, they are people who always blame others for their mistakes and never apologize.

8 – They are manipulators.
As already discussed earlier, these people are masters of manipulation. You should understand that you are not a priority to them, rather an obstruction to their goal.

9 – They are just-weather friends
As mentioned in the very beginning, these people are just-weather friends who are not familiar with the meaning of a real and loyal friendship. They are here when things are going well and when a situation goes wrong, they disappear.

10 – They are control freaks
Narcissists are arrogant people, whose arrogance is result of the control they have over others. They feed with their superiority and enjoy making others feel inferior and unimportant.

11 – They lead double lives
Lying and misleading others is a common trait these people use, so it`s no wonder they lead double lives and lie others the same way as they mess with you.

12 – They still your time
Last but not least, these people steal your precious time in order to achieve a certain goal. They try to ruin your chances for any improvement or isolate you from your friends and family members.

Much better than Dstv...with #200 I can watch the entire match for the day at the comfort of my home, especially champions league that comes very late at night...

Those viewing centers won't like this...but on the other hand, a good business for them if they can migrate to tstv too. Not everybody will buy the decorder...they will be subscribing only on match days...with #200 they will collect oooo...see business

I dey tell you. Omo see signal

2gb ram vs 3gb ram
What's the difference??

There is no much difference. The most important thing is to check the Android version and Google the minimum ram requirement for that Android version. My Android version is 6.0 and the minimum ram requirement is 1GB so I use a 2GB device. While my Kid Brother use Android 4.0 which is kitkat and the minimum ram requirement is 512MB so he use a 1GB device. Anything more than what is required is a wasted ram.

If the gen is an SPG 8800 E2 you can use it to charge your phone.

The opponent was the better team, they were the more comfortable team in all moments, and deserved to win. They played a good game in general, they are a very strong and competitive team, showed their status.

In the first half we had the chance from Saul to make it 2-0 but we were never comfortable. They were better tactically, technically, physically, with intensity.

You must congratulate a team who played as Chelsea did today. A draw was good for us, they had patience in the last play to move the ball very well and end the game very well for them.

Diego Simeone,

That's not a racist comment. It is just a Nigerian thing. Even when we celebrate an event some Nigerians like to eat more than one plate of food without thinking if the next person behind have eaten at all. She used Nigerian and not black.

SHARE WORLDWIDE: A top military insider who resides in Abuja and a friend who is not an IPOB member have reviewed that a top Nigerian northern military personnel have planned to blackmail IPOB in the coming weeks. He said, they will dress convicts and those sentenced to death by the Nigerian government as soldiers with military vans, and then drive them into Biafra land, while the real soldiers would disguise as IPOB members who will then lay ambush on them, with a standby camera which will record everything going on. They will then televise it and say that its their evidence of terming IPOB as a terrorist organization and after that they will introduce more soldiers into Biafra land.
Please spread this info. Let's make sure the world knows about it. The Nigerian government really wants to use this medium to kill more innocent Biafrans.

The army wants to give free health care to south-east but they could not even save one of their own that needs it most. This is to tell you their health care is scam. They want to inject every male with poisonous substance. Stay at alert Ndigbo.

Today is my wedding anniversary. I got married in 2010. I actually don't know if my marriage is a curse or there are other forces affecting my life.

I went into my marriage with 6 trucks and they were all working within southwest. All the trucks are gone!

I am a 37year old man from Enugu state. I got married at the age of 31 to a beautiful lady from Edo state.

I started my logistic company when I left my salary job in 2007. I started with 3 trucks and I was able to grow and acquired 3 more trucks before 2010.

I met my wife when she was serving in Enugu. I visited my parent in enugu that very year. We got talking and one thing led to the other. She got pregnant towards the end of her service year and moved in with me immediately after her service.

We had our traditional wedding, though her mum (father is late) wasn't at the wedding. She didn't inform her, she said she doesn't have a relationship with her and that they are not in talking terms. Though her aunt (her mum sister) was actively involved and present. She made up with her mum years later and they are both fine now.

I lost my 6 trucks in 3years with debts that I had to settle by selling my uncompleted buildings in Enugu and Lagos. I have not paid some debts till now. Note that I acquired those properties before my wedding.

I lost 2 trucks in 2010 December, lost 1 in 2011, then lost remaining 3 trucks to accident in 2013.

It usually happened whenever we quarreled and she got really angry. That very night, I would see myself being locked up by a man in a room with an iron gate in my dream. The next trip for any of my trucks would be an accident or there would be a major problem on the road.

I was out of business in 2014 to mid 2015 when I decided to travel out of Nigeria for some hustling. I told my wife about my plan but she said she is sure my plan is to marry another woman when I get to Europe. I made some promises to her before I left.
On getting to the airport in holland, I was put into the next flight to Lagos from Schipol airport in Holland.

I became very broke after the failed trip and I had to open up to friends and family who still thought I was a big man. I was able to secure a 35k salary job through a friend. My wife came to my place of work, told my boss that I beat her. She lied! (I have never done that before and I didn't do it). I lost the job.

In all this, I have always struggled to pay our rent, we pay our son school fee together while she handles 75% of food stuff in the house. She works and earns around 65k. She has been supportive.

I have prayed and she has prayed too, but nothing has changed in my finance. It is getting worse everyday. One night, I prayed and begged God to reveal to me the source of my problem, I had a dream that night. In the dream, my wife told me she is married to the prince of their kingdom and that the prince is always with us sometimes on the bed when we are sleeping. She said his boys are the one I always see fighting me in my dreams. My wife told me all this in my dream. I am scared of discussing this dream with my wife because she is a prayerful woman and it will sound like I am saying she is the cause of my problem. I am confused.

I also consulted a pastor, the pastor said witches are seriously dealing with me. He also said my wife has a spiritual husband that is very powerful. He warned me never to discuss any of my plans with my wife again. That I should always tell her after the execution of such plans (plans that has to do with my business). I find it strange and hard to believe, what is the essence of having a wife if we can have 100% openness. I continue to discuss my business plans with wifey and they are always failing. Sometimes I will be too happy to hide it from her. (Lol)

We have a small car that is strictly for taking my son to school. My rent expired in May and there is no hope of money for me. Landlord is already on me. If I sell this last only car to pay this rent, what are we going to sell to pay the next rent? I think maybe we should separate for a while and when things change for better again, we can come together. I have not discussed this with my wife. Is this a right step? Her mum and her mum sis (they are both widows) has a big house here in Lagos, she can move to the house while I get a driving job with an accommodation package. This way, I can support and pay my son's school fee.

Please people advice me.

Your wife is your problem and you know it but you are too scared of her. Spiritual beings are real and if you don't take actions you are doomed. You will never stop telling her your plans cos you are tired somewhere. Go and buy incense light it in your room at night before you sleep. Now just pretend you are sleeping and watch your wife's behavior. If she tells you she don't like it or she don't like the smell, then just know your wife is a witch. Just go to a spiritual store and buy it.. Tell them the one that drives evil spirits away... And if your wife ask you what is smelling tell her its mosquitoe killer.

I have said it before and will say it again. A big brand is a big brand ooo! Dstv is experience and knows the Nigerian market wella, besides they are a company with deep pocket. Have you wondered why HITV died? HItV hijacked the right for EPL in Nigeria for a season and left dstv by surprise but what did dstv do?

They endured that one year and only showed selected matches but not all big games. Guess what dstv did? Before that same season ended, they purchased the right for 5 yrs straights running from a fresh season becos of their deep pocket. They crippled HITV. It's not as if both of them can't show it at the same time, of cos if both does people will still buy HITV cos it's cheaper but what I think is that both are using the same source to air live games, so only one of them can sir it as a means of protecting their brand. If you must also show it, you will buy the right from them and they will only give you selected games. Not all games! They paid HITV in their own coin.

This was what buried HITV! So when star times came with their own 1,000 naira subscription, what did multichoice do? They launch a new product in GOTV that will play in that lower league to tackle star times becos obviously DSTV is premium brand and can't be selling at same price with star times. So all they needed to do was bring some Kool channels from DSTV to GOTV and pay less to watch it. So ordinarily, people still wanna watch epl (super sport select 1 &2), watch CNN, Africa magic (yoruba, igbo & hausa) etc. GOTV does not even have to sell at same rate with star time as they are slightly expensive, yet star times can't take GOTV out of the market. In a few years time star times may shut down if their profit isn't taking care of their expenses. This is trade!

So let's see their reaction to TSTV. As a sales manager in a multinational brand in Nigeria, I know they will react and that's to probably slightly reduce price of dstv subscription or introduce some new exciting features to their lower bouquets, make their dstv decorder cheaper or to do an upgrade GOTV in terms of channels to compete with TSTV. I'm sure GOTV will come with some Kool stuff to match TSTV cos that GOTV is their weapon to fight off competition when it comes to pricing. TSTV must be ready ooo!

To out class dstv in Nigeria will be hard. TSTV must find a way to rival super sports, Africa magic, CNN if they want to stay very long and also win the market share.

From the list of their proposed channels TSTV can compete but what features will their decorder give you? What is that new thing you can get from outside dstv? They must address that too.

When I looked at TSTV sports channels list, there was bein sports. I believe DSTV have finally meet their competitor.

Just watch as seun will close this thread. Seun have been payed to close anything relating to this topic. Seun is corrupt.
