PoliticsRe: Attention Mynd44: Obynoscopy! by GuyFawkes: 10:56am On Sep 17, 2014
Last I checked most Nigerians are not party affiliated, isn't it pathetic that any discerning voice in opposition to government is labelled APC supporter on NL? That's how you know this forum has been bought over. TAN is Nigeria's version of the Hitler youth, but they are cowards who hide behind whatever devices they use to propagate their e-terrorism.
Huge shame!!!

Nairaland is funded by PDP so don't be suprised if unfavourable news about the party is removed or doesn't make the frontpage.Seun has lost all integrity and credibility,his apologies about calling APC supporters boko haram is just him trying to save face,the damage has been done.

PoliticsRe: Desmond Elliot To Contest For Lagos House Of Assembly by GuyFawkes: 6:04pm On Sep 12, 2014
Evergreen123: my friend, igbos started nollywood industry In 1992.
Prior to that, people were making local films , igbo, yoruba, etc but it wasn't an industry yet.
Omotola joined nollywood in 2000 or so and NW gave her fame.
nobody knew omotola bfr nollywood
Ngozi stop fabricating falsehoods as fact on NL,
Igbos might have started the so called 'nollywood' in the early 90's,but some Nigerian movies were already being shot in celluloid as far back as the 60's down to 1990 - Hubert Ogunde shot a movie starring Pierce Brosnan in 1990 with some prominent Nigerian actors.

And Omotola was known to the movie industry as at 1995 not 2000,her rise to fame is not different from many other stars.Who knew anybody before they showed up frequently on our screens?
SportsRe: Oscar Pistorius Found Not Guilty Of Murder by GuyFawkes: 6:47pm On Sep 11, 2014
shymexx: Apart from the fact that they're both high profile sportsmen who allegedly killed their women, both cases are somewhat different IMO. From the get-go, Oscar accepted that he did it, and the bone of contention has been if it was premeditated murder or homicide. With Oscar as the person who can provide evidence for the former. Guilty of either one of the two types of killing in South Africa or both from the get-go Vs. claimed innocence from the get-go.

However, in OJ's case, he never accepted that he did it, and he's still claiming innocence. Also, all the evidence that would've alluded to the fact that he did it were tampered with - and the court of law made the right decision.

So, basically, it's no evidence for premeditated murder but accepted homicide Vs. tampered evidence for murder but claimed innocence and was acquitted.

We'll never know if OJ killed his wife or not. But we all know Oscar killed his girlfriend, and the court of law said it wasn't premeditated.
Well I actually meant the part where they both got a very good legal team.

Ermmm we all know OJ killed his wife undecided
SportsRe: Oscar Pistorius Found Not Guilty Of Murder by GuyFawkes: 2:39pm On Sep 11, 2014
shymexx: OJ's case was different. The prosecutors (police) tampered with evidence(s), and the great Johnnie Cochran (R.I.P), Robert Kardashian and the rest of the team were able to build a solid defense against that.

However, in this case, there was absolutely no way the prosecutors would've won by trying to go for premeditated murder. They had no case from the get-go. I still don't know how they thought they could prove beyond reasonable doubt that it was premeditated without substantial evidence about how he planned it, to be honest.

Out.
The comparison between OJ's trial and this one fits like a well-worn glove. Pistorius had a dream team of lawyers like OJ had and the outcome was never in doubt.
SportsRe: Oscar Pistorius Found Not Guilty Of Murder by GuyFawkes: 2:28pm On Sep 11, 2014
In all trials, "purely circumstantial" evidence is frequently the clearest path to the truth--even superior to eye-witness accounts. For goodness sake, there have been murder convictions where no body has been found, and circumstantial evidence is all there is..

It boggles the mind that Judge Masipa did not apply ordinary reasoning in her ruling. Ordinary reasoning points one way--toward guilt. First, no woman living intimately with a man would get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and, in the dark, lock the door behind her. Second, disabled in the legs or not, Mr. Pistorius is equipped with a functioning voice, good hearing and fully working arms. Why, if they thought an intruder was in the room, did he not instinctively listen for Ms. Steenkamp's breathing, reach out with his arm to see if she were lying there, or whisper to her to stay put? It's not very hard to figure out almost instantaneously that a partner has left the bed. Mr. Pistorius, even by his own account, had lots of time before he went to the bathroom to have figured this out.

While reading about the trial, I kept wondering if the prosecutor directly challenged Mr. Pistorius by saying this: Surely this was not the first time Ms. Steenkamp got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. Why didn't you think an intruder was in the bathroom the other nights?
HealthRe: Nigerians Don't Suffer Depression, Really? by GuyFawkes: 11:33am On Sep 11, 2014
bieagole: There is another type of depression. We call it postnatal (or postpartum) depression: it affects woman after baby birth. But i know in africa, everythin is witchcraft.

See on this link:
http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Postnataldepression/Pages/Introduction.aspx
That's another serious one,but with proper therapy and medicine can be dealt with.
Its a very common occurence in Nigeria,Yorubas's call it "abisiwin" . Its often mistaken for witchcraft but people are waking up to the realities.

And they'll write 'state of the art' even if its an old WW2 frigate given to the NN by the US.

CultureRe: Do African Americans Have A Culture? by GuyFawkes: 9:38am On Sep 09, 2014
HandOfChukwu: Yes, of course they do, they even have an IGBO village in Virginia as many African-Americans are descendants of my tribe. I study black history in general and found that they also have made basically all forms of music we listen to in the world today, Jazz, Ragtime, Gospel, Swing, Techno, House, Dubstep, RnB, Hip-Hop, Disco, Rock, Blues etc.. and the African diaspora in the Caribbean and South America made Salsa, Reggae, Samba, Tango etc... even the creator of classical musical Beethoven was part black, so even in the face of discrimination in foreign lands the fact they were able to do all this
deserves respect. Also their food is still cooked in an African way.
Ludwig Van Beethoven was German

HAH: But truly Lt col don't lead platoon but battalion which is normally above 500 officers and soldiers
A battalion can range from 400 to 1000 soldiers,usually made up of 4 companies at least.If 24 soldiers were killed in the so called platoon it means they were almost wiped out .
His rank commands a battalion definitely

ArtanK: American companies such as Chevron, Conoco Phillips and ExxonMobil are there too, apparently they cut deals with Siad Barre before the civil war. Everyone wants a piece of this cake undecided
Unfortunately oil will only bring more conflicts just as it has in other parts of Africa,the next bunch of ' freedom fighters' are going to be fighting for resource control,who knows maybe al shabbab will join the party then as there's lots of money to be made.
Hence conflict is inevitable because that piece of cake never goes round.
But I expect the chinese to get most of the contracts to build up the infrastructure in Somalia they've been pretty good with that in African countries.
