crownprince102:
Cow has NPFL logo?

Thanks for the clarification but i think that logo is a much later developmentt and a step in the right direction. It only remains for clubs like Kano Pillars to follow suit

daveP:
Its not only Pillars that need logo revamp. How much to call 2confirm experts to design attractive logo either with pen or computer? #20000

even the NPFL also.

Barclays carry a lion, cos England is nicknamed "three lions"

Nigeria is nicknamed "super eagles", yet a cow is our league logo!!

These are part of the things that can make these clubs attractive and garner love and cash likewise. But.....

Your design makes sense.

Thanks a lot bro. Many NPFL clubs really do need logo revamp

This clearly only a misunderstanding. She thought she was a 'piss' ambassador so she went for the piss dispenser. She only has 2 be corrected.

I don't know for how long they've had that logo but I can see some things wrong with it.

Firstly, I believe the football club was named ''Pillars'' for a reason, which is likely because it club came into existence when 3 other amateur clubs were merged in 1990. I therefore believe something in the logo should speak about that. It doesnt make much sense to name the club pillars and present a logo showing a shield. If the the club were named Kano united, i may not have a problem with it.

Secondly, I cant seem to understand the blocks forming a sort of pyramid on the shield. Probably was done because there was nothing else 2 do with the space. Not so good a design.

I may not be a proffessional designer but i think anyone can be a little innovative. So i thought about it and made a pencil sketch of something that i think is much better than the one they are using. Any nairalander who knows how 2 design logo should pls make it come alive with the right colours and pls post it here.

Below are the Kano Pillars' logo and my sketch

Sorry peeps, pic isnt 2 clear

Chai! Women can be shameless

And no one here understands that he's not protecting himself but the image of the country. You dont know what that book can do to other Nigerian doctors. Was it the fact that he's Nigerian that caused the mistake? The author has other motives, just 2 paint Nigeria black as they always do.

benuejosh:
quess you just learnt a new word, how does inferiority complex apply here? your opinion tho. am not a nigerian breed if you wouldnt mind.

I know your type, I have many of them. I dont watch nollywood movies much as well, but when we begin 2 believe that a movie isnt good simply because its from nollywood, then i fear i'm correct. I know you'd watch anything that isnt nollywood and forget 2 criticise, even if there's a reason to.

kayciano:
Y do they keep mass producing dramas with conspicuous errors....

When will they ever grow into movie making..?

If you think you're spotting an error in that pic, then you should know that it was done on purpose. Its a comedy film mate, chill. We all know nollywood does produce trash, but criticising without facts isnt fair

benuejosh:
seriously i dont like nigerian movies in whatsoever form it is presented. am aallergic to them

Then allow me 2 diagnose your condition as inferiority complex. I'm sorry bro if I sound harsh, but thats what it looks like

goldenvicky:
yea,its coincidence.my bf is my namesake,stay cool

Sure girl

goldenvicky:
wao,wat a coincidence,dats cool. so wats ur own name,lemme see if its d same as my bf name

I kind of dont want 2 disclose it here but it begins with a 'J', many people call me Joe. I'm sure its just coincidence tho cos i checked ur pics, bt still shocked

goldenvicky:
I love football to the fullest even though I don't knw hw to play.My bf loves it,he's a Man uni fan and am a chelsea fan.So its always fun wen we argue nd I derive joy mocking him wheneva man uni losses a match.Football is jst fun,I love it

I honestly dont understand whats happening here. My g.f is a chelsea fan, i'm ManU,and we argue football 2. Guess what? Her name's Vicky. Just coincidence?

Bae is a Chelsea fan, I'm a Man U fan. Many times we mock eachodas team, it makes d relationship fun

I wonder how God would feel seeing all these comments

Let me register, just incase it makes FP

I'm just thinking, should I book space or not?

butanep: am telling you bro... they don't accept responsibility, that's the reason while some don't last in their husband house...

Bro, God knows I wont even marry a woman who cant cook. The way to my heart is through my stomach, Lol.

Hey! What will we not hear from women? So cooking is no longer their responsibility abi?
And they'll be forming gender equality.
Very soon, they'll start attempting to impregnate their husbands.

Just plug the hole with something

tuffgongjo: And the guy won't go for the cat?

Hello, not every guy is a dog

cococandy: Development is not only infrastructure.
It includes attitudinal change.
That's the only thing that can sustain development.
If not,we'll keep seeing the rot of infrastructure as is the norm in our society. No maintenance culture.
Mostly because the populace don't hold the govt to ransom.

Instead we prefer to pray for solutions.

An example would be people who'd rather consult mediums and seek spiritual help for problems that a good health care system can take care of. But because they rather believe in superstitions and the uncle after my life stories,they shun medical help.

There's no outcry and push to get the govt. to do more.hence the nonchalance our leaders display.
They know we aren't evolved enough to DEMAND what is ours.

Just an example.

Point taken miss/mr

Omarbah: Fighting superstition does not mean getting rid of languages. The Spanish, the French, the Germans and multiple other nationalities have rid themselves of most of it but they still retain their language. The communist in China fought it with their "cultural" revolution. And knowledge is the only way to fix it. People need to know how is electricity produced, they need to know what a eclipse is so that they would interpret it as the death of a ruler. This is what I mean by ending superstition through knowledge.

You don't have to start translating books in every single one of Nigerian languages . In the North , Hausa alone can do the trick. In Central Africa, Lingala would do the job, same thing for Swahili in eastern Africa. For the Western part of West Africa, Maninka and Pulaar/Fulfulde would work. Many of these languages are spoken by other Africans, specially the illiterate.

Our bright minds like those I listed in the post would do us great goods if they made medical, farming, mathematical, and why civics manuals in our languages for a start. Help those millions of our people have access to the knowledge they need.

To finish here is what Friedrich List in National System of Political Economy had to say about the effect of introducing Roman Law in Germany:

"The introduction of the Roman law weakened no nation so much as the German. The unspeakable confusion which it brought into the legal status and relations of private individuals, was not the worst of its bad effects. More mischievous was it by far, in that it created a caste of learned men and jurists differing from the people in spirit and language, which treated the people as a class unlearned in the law, as minors, which denied the authority of all sound human understanding, which everywhere set up secrecy in [66] the room of publicity, which, living in the most abject dependence and living upon arbitrary power, everywhere advocated it and defended its interests, everywhere gnawed at the roots of liberty. Thus we see even to the beginning of the eighteenth century in Germany, barbarism in literature and language, barbarism in legislation, State administration and administration of justice; barbarism in agriculture, decline of industry and of all trade upon a large scale, want of unity and of force in national cohesion; powerlessness and weakness on all hands in dealing with foreign nations."

I see your point, but I'm just highlighting the difficulties of attempting 2 teach science in our local languages. Even if, as u have already stated, its not necessary 2 do that in all the languages, its still not easy. Someone who speaks Yoruba, for example, would hav 2 learn Hausa first, if he is 2 benefit, if Hausa is 2 be made the main language. I must commend the point u brought out tho.

cococandy: I don't have much to say to your post but simply this.
Superstition is a great impediment to development.
And it can be lost without the langauge being lost.

Maybe you should throw more light on your stand

Nice write-up but you're getting some things mixed up

Omarbah: More than a half century later after the independence movement and more than century after serious contact with European civilization, our beloved continent lags when it comes to technological progress.

I agree with you partly on this.

omarbah: Superstitions still remain in force even among the African elite. Passion rather than reason is still the norm. Cultural alienation is on the rise.

omarbah: Most Africans living in cities cannot speak their native language without borrowing words from the English or French language.

Now you're beginning to sound really gnomic, hard to understand. You want the Nigerians to lose their superstitions which are very much part of their culture, yet you want them to retain their languages. Thats impossible. Its like telling the Arabs to stop wearing their veil and gowns but to keep their language, Lol. My point is, Nigeria has been influenced by the west greatly during development and there's no way their languages would not be affected.

omarbah: I've always wondered why were the Arabs after the advent of Islam able to build so much in the 300 years that ensued. Or why was the European renaissance such a success that they rule the world to this day despite being far behind China at the time. Why did the Koreans that had the same level of economic development as Cote d'Ivoire in the 50s and beginning of 60s were able to surpass them. In short why other cultures are able to assimilate science and technology at such pace and why are we failing to do the same on our continent. Even if we are doing it, one has to agree that the pace is really slow and at this rate we will never catch up with the rest of world.

Here, i agree with you. Our leaders have always been our bane. I dont quite believe that we cant catch up though.

omarbah: Despite the cultural differences of the Arabs, Europeans and Asians, there is one similarity to the renaissance they witnessed. All of these groups made progress while maintaining their language. The Arabs translated books from Greek to Arabic to spread knowledge as much as they can. It is in Baghdad that Muslims founded their school of translation, every Greek book they could lay their hands on was translated to their language.

The Europeans will do the same. They will build up from the knowledge left by the Arabs and translated thousands of books in Latin. Constantine of Carthage of the Toledo School of Translators translated multiple texts on medicine including the Canons of Medecine of Avicenna. He went ahead and founded a School of Medicine to spread the knowledge. Frederick II of Palermo had in his court intellectuals that translated the work of Arab astronomer Al-Farghini and Ptolemy's Almagest. Some of the books translated to Latin originally came from Greek intellectuals but was lost in Europe and they had to translated them back to Latin from Arab to have access to the knowledge. This is to name of few. For those interested in the influence of Islam of the European renaissance, a simple google research will answer your questions.
And more recently, the Japanese, Koreans translated European books in their native languages. This has contributed greatly to the amazing technological progress they have witnessed.

All of these groups did the same thing, absorb science and technology but retain their culture. They translated works from other languages to theirs not only to ease the learning on their people but also to enrich their culture and language. That in my opinion among others, is something we, as Africans, need to do.

While it is true that translating books into their languages aided these countries' rennaissance, it is notable to note how difficult achieving the same feat on the African scene. First of all, the Arabs, Asians and Europeans have one major language in their countries which almost everyone understands, so translation is easy. Imagine doing that in Nigeria for example, which language would you translate into? Even if manage to translate into the three major languages, there's still a sizable population that do not understand any of those three languages. So you see how hard it is.

omarbah: Could you imagine how much we can fight ignorance if learning science in Hausa, Lingala, Swahili, Fulfulde is encouraged?

Good idea, but that would take quadruple the effort it took the Arabs, Asians et al. This is because everyone has to first become literate in the said languages, which to me is far fetched considering that it is discouraged in most basic schools.

omarbah: What is your opinion? Why do you think we still lag behind others in science and technology?

If we want to achieve anything, lets encourage our own, though teaching science in our languages seems far from possible. We should not bundle off our promising scholars 2 America or the U.K, where their brains will be tapped 4 d benefit of those countries.

katzz: . The differences are there nd they clearly communicate really well, they don't have to be screaming and at each others throats for it to qualify as an argument. So I think its good

Thanks, now he can rest. So strange how people want to have things that others are running away from.

chimerase2: Op I can see u luv killing cats but take amu easy

Lol, but OP did not take amu now, why are u saying he should take amu easy?

I dont know if its natural or not, but I have a friend who says that his girl complains that they dont argue or fight over anything and he's really beginniing to wonder if his relationship is ok. Not that they always agree, but when differences arise, they talk it out and its settled. He's afraid that everything is moving too smooth.
