Bride and Groom: Pahtahkee and Hotfunmi(hope she does not see this o )

@ "Jezebel," "Hot Pant," Hot Funmi,
Omo ale ni o. You're a bastard! You've proven time and time again that you're anti-men, anti-Yoruba, and a prostitute!. You even said in one of your posts that you would love to marry an Ibo guy.

You warned me not to push you? If you knew me you would not have said so. Just go and ask about me -- I'll make you cry, girl. Believe me, I have made thousands cry on Nairaland before you joined.

nuso,

Mind you, KSA, said ", our culture." He was referring to "Our Yoruba Culture" -- and definitely not referring to you Ibos or whatever part of Nigeria you're from. IT IS OUR CULTURE.

@ hot-funmi
               Please your highly welcome back.
spraying is a way we africans show off our stupidy.
   how can one spray money on public only to receive a lare praise when a bigger chalage awaits him behind.
           workers salary not paid bank loan still paying.
                 tax no way, the road lead to his manssion has turn to a another thing.
                           I see no sence in spraying.

Instead of abortion pills being readily in circulation, more funding towards education and social amenities would empower women to take better care of themselves instead of getting knocked up by every molue driver in every nook and crany of Nigeria.

babe welcome back
with a red capet

Is this hot-funmi- fire?

Before I post anything.

Prince Onx,
Thank God you can't see me before you use your dream gun!

By pahtakee,
Same way you can choose your thing online, it applies to the TV. There are some channels I can never spend my time to watch

By morenike,
LOL. . .naa. once i was younger, my mom once told me that, if you dnt believe in it, it can't do anything to you. but gosh!! i've heard stories of it from my family in naija. . .

By 4him,
This is where we both differ,I don't believe our currency undergoes the same wear and tear as other countries.I believe we have a unique cultural habit of "roughhandling" the Naira notes.Now,not having any empirical study done on the issue available,we can argue whether this premise is true till infinity but that is my basic belief albeit supported by anecdotal evidence.

I guess its the consequence of having only left Nigeria just recently while you have been living abroad since time immemorial

Pahtakee,
It has been proven that you retain more information through pictures and hearing than reading

By morenike,
that's another issue. . . .even without approval in nigeria, they still use axes and ada and even juju, so Nigeria, is another matter completely. even with the cops, nothing is happening to keep its people safe. .

@post
hell yea, if am allowed to posses a gun, i'll have like 2 of them. my aunt, when she used to work at Miami, since she's an RN she usually works at night, she told us she got robbed more than 5 time. one instance she parked her car in the parking lot and was walking inside the hospital and she got the feeling that someone was walking behind her. she turned, but no one was there. she said that her badge fell, and was bending to pick it when someone put a knife to her neck and told her to drop her purse and face the floor. the criminal took the purse. she reported him to the police and he was caught. am sure if she had a gun with her, it would not have happened. i think the next week, she resigned and applied to work at Memorial Regional. am just happy that the lunatic did not use the knife on her. . .

moi, i avoid going out late it night, just to live longer. . .this is ridiculous

By Islander,
OMG, Education really is not common sense.  My sister paid 3 times the value of her home so she can raise her children in a "safe" environment.  Yet the 3 goats who held me up did so in this safe neighbour.  Moving to an even "safer" area, still I see thugs around.  

My in-law bought her house in a gated community. Yet she got home from work to meet her place broken into. I assume this therefore means she and others who own houses in "safer" neighbourhoods might as well be living up in the projects,

I just wish sometimes some of us would post using our brains instead of our newly found ego,

By pahtakee,
Well if you are okay with that, its all good. Whatever rocks your boat. I need my TV at home. How can I know whats happening around the world?

By Morenike,
@the getting ban
girl, get use to it. i get ban just for requesting seun to do something. . . complaining for getting ban will get you another ban. . .i think seun prefers if you keeping making up new username to expand the Nairaland members

By Zigam
Spraying! Spraying!!  All is just “notice me syndrome” of how Nigerians place wealth above other things.  Is there anything wrong if you walk up to the couple(s) on that wedding day and handover your money behind closed-door?  Must everybody notice how long you have been spraying the Naira?

A great deal I will say that KSA displayed backward mentality, I must also add that the greatest abuse our Naira suffer is its valueless and pointless looting by our heartless leaders.

By TexasPete,
Good. So instead of the cheaper step of instilling public discipline and acountability by banning the terrible act of spraying money (among other means of defacing the Naira), you advocate Nigerian taxpayers money be used to re-print and recirculate much of our currency, right? This, despite the well-documented fact the printing polymer notes costs way more than paper currency?

Your past posts have indicated you live and work in the US. ergo, it's easy to conclude that you do not pay taxes to Nigeria. If you were doing so, you'd have refuted my assumption.

Now, tell me something i do not know. in your opinion how many cellotaped dollar notes have you come across in the US? This for my personal enlightenment even if it doesn't prove my point, so please reply.

By Dee02,
If not for the fact that Sunny Ade is my friend's father and a respectable elder, i would have swore "thunder fire his mouth", but i would expect elders to think before they talk, afterall flies think before they perch of fresh shit!

That crazy culture of spraying money has to stop!With all the problems in the country, some dysfunctional human beings do not have respect and regards, all dey do is ponce around with their big pouts and throw money like it aint nothing,

if people are so interested in flaunting wealth, then why not attend to more pressing issues in order to move the nation forward,

It is a shame and it needs to stop point blank, to cap it all, some of these money throwers go home and start gnashing their teeth "lamenting about flexing borrowed money to pull effect"

Anyone caught throwing money about should be made to lick them off the floor with their own mouth and chew it, with a satchet of pure water provided to digest it OR be shot point pointblank at close range, that way they would appreciate it better or what do you all think nairalanders?!

Does a Gun in the Home Make You Safer?

No. Despite claims by the National Rifle Association (NRA) that you need a gun in your home to protect yourself and your family, public health research demonstrates that the person most likely to shoot you or a family member with a gun already has the keys to your house. Simply put: guns kept in the home for self-protection are more often used to kill somebody you know than to kill in self-defense; 22 times more likely, according to a 1998 study by the Journal of Trauma.[1] More kids, teenagers and adult family members are dying from firearms in their own home than criminal intruders. When someone is home, a gun is used for protection in fewer than two percent of home invasion crimes.[2] You may be surprised to know that, in 1999, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report, there were only 154 justifiable homicides committed by private citizens with a firearm compared with a total of 8,259 firearm murders in the United States. Once a bullet leaves a gun, who is to say that it will stop only a criminal and not a family member? Yet at every opportunity the NRA uses the fear of crime to promote the need for ordinary citizens to keep guns in their home for self-protection. Furthermore, the NRA continues to oppose life-saving measures that require safe-storage of guns in the home.

Keeping a Gun in the Home Can Be Deadly

Because handguns and other firearms are so easily accessible to many children, adolescents and other family members in their homes, the risk of gun violence in the home increases dramatically. Consider this: The risk of homicide in the home is three times greater in households with guns.[3] The risk of suicide is five times greater in households with guns.[4] What's more, tragic stories of accidental or unintentional shootings from the careless storage of guns at home are all too common. The statistic noted above bears repeating: a gun in the home is 22 times more likely to be used in a criminal, unintentional, or suicide-related shooting than to be used in a self-defense shooting. [5]

A Gun in the Home: Key Facts
From 1990-1998, two-thirds of spouse and ex-spouse murder victims were killed with guns.[6]
Guns are the weapon of choice for troubled individuals who commit suicide. In 1999, firearms were used in 16,599 suicide deaths in America. Among young people under 20, one committed suicide with a gun every eight hours.[7]
A gun in the home also increases the likelihood of an unintentional shooting, particularly among children. Unintentional shootings commonly occur when children find an adult's loaded handgun in a drawer or closet, and while playing with it shoot themselves, a sibling or a friend. The unintentional firearm-related death rate for children 0-14 years old is NINE times higher in the US. than in the 25 other countries combined.[8]

Children in 'high-gun' states at far higher risk of harming selves, others
A new study from the School of Public Health (SPH) has found that in states and regions with higher levels of household firearm ownership, many more children are dying from homicide, suicide, and gun accidents. The differences in rates of violent death to children across states are large. The higher death rates in "high-gun" states are due to differences in deaths from firearms. This elevated rate of violent death to children in high gun states cannot be explained by differences in state levels of poverty, education, or urbanization.

UNINTENTIONAL FIREARM INJURIES & DEATHS FACT SHEET

Unintentional shootings account for more than 20% of all firearm-related fatalities among children ages 14 and under and have become more common as the availability of firearms has increased. Americans possess more than 223 million firearms, including 77 million handguns. Nearly half of all homes in the US. have some type of firearm and one in four homes have a handgun.

Exposure to guns and access to a loaded firearm increases the risk of unintentional firearm-related death and injury to children. Unrealistic perceptions of children’s capabilities and behavioral tendencies with regard to guns are common, including misunderstanding a child’s ability to gain access to and fire a gun; distinguish between real and toy guns; make good judgments about handling a gun and consistently follow rules about gun safety.

By Islander,
Yes! Yes! and YES, most definitely YES. I purchased a firearm 3 years ago after I was robbed by 3 thugs( they looked no older than 13 years old). Funny enough I used to meet them every evening on my block playing ball with my Nephew. Lo and behold one night I decided to walk to my aunts house( 4 blocks away) only to be held up and robbed, of $10 because that was all I had on me. I wish those goats would try that shit now, I am ready to do whatever deems fit to ensure my safety,

By Pahtakee,
You have been watching too much of crime scenes, Numbers, Criminal minds, NCIS, law and order and all sorts. Get your mind out of it. There are better ways to protect oneself that resorting to guns and violence.

If u do shoot to kill in what u thot was an attempted burglary won't u b charged wit manslaughter?

And u wouldn't even shudder at the sight of blood with your own hands? Since u said u've not done it, i believe u still can't do it. Maybe its just an inflated desire in u waiting to be achieved but never will.

By Oyb,
abegi, enough with story, put up the pic and let us see with our own eyes.

But seriously funmi Have u used the gun u possess before? Can u actually fire at someone?

Are you physically challenged?

By Oyb,
here we go again. . .  . it would seem that in your book, the sole purpose of a man is as a tool for the perpetuation of the human race.

By AlmondJoy,
You have 7 lives to go before "banorable" tire for your matter!

I like your tone of discourse. Who says banning does not make one simmer at times
