It isn't the only one

The North-east hasn't got either.

Kindly direct that to someone else. I simply pointed out the poster probably meant 'International Airport' considering the airports in Owerri and Enugu, my post did not concur nor disagree with the poster.

The poster probably meant 'International Airport'

@ tpia. . . chei! I never see you vex like this o

XYmigrator, I don't see anything wrong with one beating his chest with glee due to his laudable achievement in the face of 'insurmountable odds', but excessive pride often leads to the eradication of that thick line between pride and arrogance. I don't know where you are heading with your 'Igbos are next to God' statement. . . I don't know how you came to that shady conclusion and I sure hope you're not here to spearhead the congregation of the tribal warriors and devious spectators of Nairaland.

I know what it feels like to be looked down upon and will never inflict that mental genocide on my fellow human being (except Amahajibab. . . that Iranian president that believes in 'wiping' people off the face of the planet ). Do not irritate people and incite uproar with inflammatory bogus claims. If you are Igbo, you need to stop sniffing Mama Mgbokwor stale snuff and stop hanging out with the notorious 'Monkey in an SUV', if you are not, may God have mercy on your devious soul.

Boondocks is hilarious, especially the Gin Rummy /Ed Wuncler dudes. I'll be picking up season 2 later. My favourite (funniest) has got to be. . . I am not sure but if there's any Lobo animated series, it has got to be the most hilarious series out there.

@ tpia, Exponent/Benin/Hero's/etc favourite hobby is bombarding Nigeria/Nigerians with a deadly barrage of inflammatory and derogatory comments. It is very strange he claimed his 'wife' is 'Nigerian' We live in a very weird world, I tell ya.

Lol, I know, just had to throw in the 'derailment'. . .

LMAO!!! Wackless. . . I am lovin' that word.

@ tpia, you should take Spawn for a spin. . . it gets better everyday

landis:
Go to any one and say:

I am from Afghanistan

OMFG!!!! I think he has what appears to be a bomb under that flowing gown !!!

landis:
I am from Nigeria

Oh Crap! Hold onto your credit cards like your life depends on them!

landis:
I am from Swdeen

Ahhh. . . how are you today, my good friend?




Anyone still want to know what's in a name?

OSANOBUA!!!!

LOL! I love Naija! A country where round pegs are stuck in square holes and police armed with Cetme and RPG flex their muscles and hunt down harmless women in 'mini skirts', and weez in their pants when they see robbers armed with cutlass and kitchen knives,

"Roger me or die park"

I wouldn't say the most versatile/intelligent, considering that intelligence does not have a single definition, but one thing I can tell you is that any political thread involving 4Him, Richyblack, Afam, Mckren, 4Play, Tornadoz, TayoD, Debosky, Kobojunkie. . . etc is bound to be more captivating than most Hollywood/Nollywood/Bollywood /Whateverwood films. . . especially those Arab/Israel/America threads. . .

It's like having Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Don Cheadle, Brad Pitt, Laurence Fishbourne, Ice Cube, Keeanu Reeves. . .etc in an action packed Sci-Fi thriller.

Thanks everyone for your contribution to the thread. This really means a lot to me.

@MC USMAN, those names sound masculine except for larai and Kubura. Do you by any chance know the meaning of the two names (Larai, Kubura) and whether they are female, male or unisex, that is if I am not asking too much.

Aboki, nagode.

@ Sagamite, you're wasting your precious time with the 'politically correct' crew. People can no longer disapprove the act of homosexuality without being labeled 'racist' or 'homophobic'. They won't pass the opportunity to compare the 'homosexual movement' to the civil rights movement. If you like, explain from Kabul to Kafanchan, they will never acknowledge that these are two parallel lines.

Say whaaaaaat? No Efik dude or dudette in the house? Abasi Mbok!!!!

Grafi . . . gini? No make I catch u there.

Btw are you sure Jumai is original Hausa name. . . because the thing sounds. . . Isl'amic

@Tpia good one, I find your posts very refreshing and a big cause for a deep sigh of relief. I have given up on people who see absolutely NOTHING GOOD in Nigeria. They believe the 140 million of us (I believe excluding them) deserve to be treated like animals, whether or not we are saints with white fluffy wings. . . we should all be puked on and flushed down the toilet. . . women, children, infants, fetus, sperm, egg. . . no exception!!!! Try to say anything remotely positive about Nigeria and they will pounce on you like Tyson on ear lobes.

@ Smartsoft, there's no simple answer to your question. Many have asked the same question in the past and have received answers that compound their confusion. First you have to take a look at your environment and let user base and/or environment influence your choice of tools. Where are you based? What's the most widely used app in your territory? I am guessing it is 3D Max, in that case start with Max and know it very well. There is nothing you can't do with 3D Max if you are willing to push the envelope.

Once you've mastered the app, it will be easy to learn any other 3d software since they basically follow the same principles. I am pointing this out because I started with Lightwave and spent some time learning the app, now I am a proud user of Softimage XSI, Luxology Modo and 3D Studio Max. I am currently learning Maya and Houdini and I am catching up pretty fast, thanks to the time I spent on Lightwave. The more tools you master, the better but as a beginner, do not get carried away. Stay away from software zealots and fan boyz and stick to one app and know it very well before attempting to blend it with another software.

Good luck.

On a side note, allow me to make your life by narrowing down your list. I am a Lightwave user but if your interest is CHARACTER ANIMATION, please avoid Lightwave like cancer.

Starting with any of the following won't leave you wanting. . . at least for the next couple of yrs.

3D Studio Max
Softimage XSI
Maya

You may add other tool sets down the line like Modo (Modeling), Realflow(fluid dynamics) Bodypaint (One of the coolest texture appz out there) but for now STICK WITH EITHER XSI, Max or Maya.

You know those people that caused the mess over there in the first place

Lmao @ sideshow bob. So true

https://www.simpsoncrazy.com/gallery/images/SideshowBob2.gif[/quote]Side Show Bub. . . LMAO!!!! Dude sure looks like Bob but Bob is pretty much smarter.

Let's have them folks and if you know the meaning feel free to add 'em. . . please, do not include Ebiere, that name has been beaten to death by Nigerians just like Ekaete. And ummm. . . I am not talking about 'Morris Clarke' or stuff like that. . .


Here goes my list:

Teri
Ebi
Lei( this name is lovely)
Brepele

More to come. . .

Oya, drop your list and get ready to receive 29 lashes of bulala if I see any Johnson Freewill on your list.

Let's have them, folks!

I realized that all my favourite Hausa names are either Arabic or influenced by Isl' am. Let's have the secksy Original Hausa names. . . please, don't give us something like Zainab or Yakubu (I love these names o ). Think of Original Nigerian names like Adisa(Yoruba), Ekong(Efik), Azuka (Igbo), Mitaire(Urhobo) , Teri (Ijaw), Osazuwa(Bini), etc

Can anyone help me with the pronunciation of this Efik name 'Etido'. My Efik is really deplorable which is a shame because I had the opportunity to master the language with a mother and aunts who speak fluent Efik. . .

Is it:

1. E-ti-doh
2. E-ti-door

CONGRATS TO ISRAEL!!!! Much respect to this nation surrounded by people who will not hesitate to grab any opportunity to wipe them off the face of the planet. Keep your heads up and let the malicious and the prejudiced continue throwing pebbles from a distance.

As a big fan of Soyinka, I have no doubt this will be a mind blowing production. I just hope he keeps the English subtitles simple . Never mind the nay sayers, the 'due process' is how to manufacture a movie in 2 weeks. . .sorry folks, there won't be any 'due process' here. If only more people like Soyinka who have the true passion can step in and join hands with the few good genuine Nollywood practitioners. . .

Sure the gatecrashers will be there manufacturing their one-week-slap-it-together-shove-it-down-their-throat atrocities and their fans will always gulp it down under the guise of 'country hard give them a break'. The moment it dawns on them that people have embraced more polished productions and no longer cling to 'country hard syndrome', they will either continue manufacturing a big hunk of cowshit, drop out or step up.
