Politics / Re: Aisha Buhari Didnt Travel To US - Ekiti PDP by guyXander(m): 9:09am On Aug 09, 2016 |
The best reply to a fool is silence. But since Mrs. Buhari didn't keep silent, well, she's guilty. It's ludicrous that you're innocent, yet you respond with such insane accusations with doing something as desperate as this to dissuade your critic. smh. The innocent heart fears no accusation. |

Seun, I'm very disappointed that you guys are doing nothing against tribalism in Nairaland. Most times when see a thread that may be tribalistic in nature, I just pass. Now, how many others do that? If people keep doing that, before you know it, no one will log on to nairaland.com It seems your mods are also selective in their banning. 2go: I left it cos it got boring due to children Lindaikejiblog: I left it because it became boring due to seeing breasts and joysticks everyday. Nairaland: ?? You be the judge. |

Education / Etymology Of The Days Of The Week by guyXander(m): 8:55am On Aug 02, 2016 |
Etymology of the days of the week Sunday -- Sun's day Middle English sone(n)day or sun(nen)day Old English sunnandæg "day of the sun" Germanic sunnon-dagaz "day of the sun" Latin dies solis "day of the sun" Ancient Greek hemera heli(o)u, "day of the sun" Monday -- Moon's day Middle English monday or mone(n)day Old English mon(an)dæg "day of the moon" Latin dies lunae "day of the moon" Ancient Greek hemera selenes "day of the moon" Tuesday -- Tiu's day Middle English tiwesday or tewesday Old English tiwesdæg "Tiw's (Tiu's) day" Latin dies Martis "day of Mars" Ancient Greek hemera Areos "day of Ares" Tiu (Twia) is the English/Germanic god of war and the sky. He is identified with the Norse god Tyr. Mars is the Roman god of war. Ares is the Greek god of war. Wednesday -- Woden's day Middle English wodnesday, wednesday, or wednesdai Old English wodnesdæg "Woden's day" Latin dies Mercurii "day of Mercury" Ancient Greek hemera Hermu "day of Hermes" Woden is the chief Anglo-Saxon/Teutonic god. Woden is the leader of the Wild Hunt. Woden is from wod "violently insane" + -en "headship". He is identified with the Norse Odin. Mercury is the Roman god of commerce, travel, theivery, eloquence and science. He is the messenger of the other gods. Hermes is the Greek god of commerce, invention, cunning, and theft. He is the messenger and herald of the other gods. He serves as patron of travelers and rogues, and as the conductor of the dead to Hades. Thursday -- Thor's day Middle English thur(e)sday Old English thursdæg Old Norse thorsdagr "Thor's day" Old English thunresdæg "thunder's day" Latin dies Jovis "day of Jupiter" Ancient Greek hemera Dios "day of Zeus". Thor is the Norse god of thunder. He is represented as riding a chariot drawn by goats and wielding the hammer Miölnir. He is the defender of the Aesir, destined to kill and be killed by the Midgard Serpent. Jupiter (Jove) is the supreme Roman god and patron of the Roman state. He is noted for creating thunder and lightning. Zeus is Greek god of the heavens and the supreme Greek god. Friday -- Freya's day Middle English fridai Old English frigedæg "Freya's day" composed of Frige (genetive singular of Freo) + dæg "day" (most likely) or composed of Frig "Frigg" + dæg "day" (least likely) Germanic frije-dagaz "Freya's (or Frigg's) day" Latin dies Veneris "Venus's day" Ancient Greek hemera Aphrodites "day of Aphrodite" Freo is identical with freo, meaning free. It is from the Germanic frijaz meaning "beloved, belonging to the loved ones, not in bondage, free". Freya (Fria) is the Teutonic goddess of love, beauty, and fecundity (prolific procreation).

Literature / Of The Rings: The Lords And Frodo Baggins. by guyXander(m): 8:47am On Aug 02, 2016 |
Of the Rings: The Lords and Frodo Baggins. That eerie view from a ravine. Staring at Isingard. That enemy's lair. One must venture out of the shire of his comfort and do things that must surpass that that his Bilbo Baggins did. Being a Frodo and saying yes, even with your heart still saying no. "This ring I must bear I said." Support came from more than just friends. I had an Elf, a Dwarf, a wizard, a ranger, a warrior, and best of all, three God given best friends. We fellowshipped till I realized— trusting is no virtue. But that wasn't all I learnt. I also learnt that, no matter how much you push away a friend, he will never leave. The burden was growing by the day. The weight— too strong. A ghost followed us. A living testimony of failure. The one called Smeagol possessed by the gollum. It was destiny that we cross paths. He was a constant reminder that we must never fail. That we must never give in to the temptation. He crawled on all fours and ate raw games. Sam never fell for his treachery, but I, told by another to pity him. And I pitied him. And why would one not? It's wasn't my place to judge him for who he now is. I showed him love where hate formally resided. Samwise would scold him now and then. We got captured by Faramire, the warrior's brother. He too was tempted to take the ring from us but Sam screamed, "the ring drove you brother mad!" He apologized like they all do after they realized their temptation. And he let us go. Smeagol was beaten and we lost his trust, just when passed a temptation for over fifty years and rebuked the spirit the tormented him. We climbed up the steps at Minas Morgul, and Smeagol smeared Sam's elvish cloak with the elvish bread we had in our backpack. Smeagol convinced me, preying on my pity for him. And I sent Sam away. Alone, I went into the tunnels. Smeagol disappears and a vile looking creature appeared from the darkness behind me. I brought out the gift bestowed to me by the so-called elvish witch. "This will be a light for you when all other lights go out." I fought the eight legged beast and made it out of the cave. Smeagol wrestled me but fell into a Marianna-like pit. Unbeknownst to me, the big spider stung me from behind and rolled me all up with its thick web. But Sam discovering Smeagol's treachery had ran to my rescue. Thinking I was dead, he left because some orcs where coming. Realizing how silly he had been for leaving after hearing the orcs saying I was only paralyzed and not dead, he came charging to their tower. Now, at last, the eye of Sauron was diverted away from us. We made it into Mount Doom. But not without the help of Sam. "I cannot carry this ring for you, but I sure can carry you." Then came the great temptation. I couldn't throw the ring into the molten fires of Mount Doom. Smeagol came charging at me and bit off my finger. We wrestle some more and he fell into flames of Mount Doom together with the ring. But not without the fake drama of Hollywood. "Take my hand Frodo. Don't you let go." (Haba, over molten magma. Fresh one oh. E never even dey cool, nai person dey e never get first degree burn?) They made it, eventually. There were times he said it was impossible. This is life at its worst. And they all lived happily ever after in elvish heaven except for Sam who is going to star in the third book. Don't ask me the title. Am I the one writing it? Maybe; maybe not. Antonio Francesco™ |

The price of food keeps going up for its own reasons but the price of data got low because the no one would forgo buying food in lieu of data While the income never got an increment.
