Should be on Disney or Nickelodoen.

One hit wonders. They should enjoy their 15 minutes of fame.

Can't stand him. Too childish.

Miracles do not really occur. Rather, they are the product of creative story tellers. They use them to embellish a hero or incident with a theological flavor. Using miracles in a story allow characters and situations to become bigger than life, and to stir the emotions of the listener more than the mundane and ordinary.

Old Glory:
Fronting is simply "Faking". Acting like you are the $hit when you are really a scrub. Or just straight up acting like someone you are not period. A lot of females front for males and even front for their fellow females.
Opposite of fronting is "Keeping it Real"

Exactly!

@Idekeson it's easy for people like you to go around saying all kinds of stuff but if you know how to read you would know that her story did not change, she told you how the accident happened and also told you the name of (do i call it now) what happened to the bones later on, not another story of how the arm got broken and
you keep saying this trash we can't all the doctors in your country not care all the people there, why do you still have sick people who die in your country

What are you trying to say?

Why do we insist on calling our film industry Nollywood it's such an UGLY NAME

It really freaks me out each time I see that name "Nollywood"
And it's currently more of a video industry. We still have a long way to go to achieve a film industry status. In Europe and the US these videos are only popular among Africans and mostly available in African markets.

of course the majority would say beyonce because she is high yellow but the true beauty is Kelly

Chicago Sky, the newest team in the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), announced recently that musical artist Michelle Williams is part of its group of minority owners.The team is owned and operated by Chicago businessman Michael Alter, with a select group of local investors serving as minority owners.

miracles are not what you try to explain scientifically--it can't happen, the sense cannot explain the spirit, i would know because i'm a science major, and i gave up a long time ago trying to make sense of man evolving from apes!!!

Remember Galileo? He was condemned of heresy because of his belief that the earth rotates round the sun. The miracles of the sun, moon, stars and the like are all facts that can be verified empirically. What we can't explain is not miracle, we just have not doscovered it yet.

I'll do both, but since I like rooting  for the underdog I prefer Kelly. Beyonce used unfair advantage over the rest of Destiny Child, past and present. The idea of Destiny Child has always been about "Project Beyonce".

God in his infinite wisdom knew the world will be uninhabitable without ethanol.

Since I posted this question, the price of crude oil has continued to skyrocket. Instability in Iraq and Nigeria has been blamed by the western media. I guess the issue for them now is wether a 3rd term for Obasanjo or change of government will guarantee stability in Nigeria. An unstable Nigeria will cause a lot of problems for the western economy, not to mention the effect on an already fragile West Africa.

@dearzi,
There are holes in your miracle story, as usual with such tales. "She called me this morning, to tell me again, she got her arm fractured when she was playing soccer, she was about 8yrs old, she left for the UK to have surgery and stuff, and nothing worked" It seems you don't have first hand information about the fracture claim. What was the role of your brother, the Christ Embassy pastor in Kent in this intriguing saga?

The Nigerian population is non-existent compared to the general population abroad. Nigerians don't run into each other on their daily activities. This argument of loneliness borne out of the fact that Nigerians don't date enough of each other is very deceiving. These girls might as well be getting their groove on, in circles available to them or just their choice.

Actually the killing stopped in both cases because the army was called out.

The fear of the retaliation escalating prompted the government to call out the troops quicker than usual.

How does the arabic on the naira note affect you??

Tolerance is accommodating one another's views within the framework of acceptable societal standards. Our societal standards are enshrined in the constitution and laws of the federation. The whole idea of the Nigeria project is for the different diverse cultures to come together and foster one ideal irrespective of our differences. This will be impossible to achieve if we keep allowing sectional interest over the national interest. There was the issue of Nigeria's membership of the Organization of Islamic Conference, a body made up of Islamic states. There was the issue of Sharia law been introduced by some states. Meanwhile, these are not legal under the laws of Nigeria. If we keep appeasing regional interest in the name of tolerance, very soon "Things will fall apart and  the center cannot hold"

Anyone waiting for our Islamic clerics to rein in these fundamentalists up-north is in for a rude awakening. Thank God, in the typically Nigerian way, we've found the antidote to the senseless killings. The answer is eyes for an eye. Look how quickly the recent killings stopped when the easterners got into the fray. Sad innocent folks suffer, but the same group of people cannot fold their arms and lament each time. Until we come up with a better solution as a nation, we just stick to the option that works.

Obviously, at the time the decision to use Ajami on the naira note was made, the Hausa population was larger than any other ethnic group that may have deserved special consideration.
One thing that I have noticed is that whether there is "arabic" (Ajami) on the naira note or not, an Igbo man or woman can earn it and spend it with no problems. This is a non-issue.

But there wasn't more Hausa than the other ethnic groups and they all had and still have uneducated folks amongst them. The issue is not whether you can earn and spend the Naira or not. The currency is a national symbol and should be treated as such. It's not a regional currency.

demmy:
The writing is not arabic it is ajami. Ajami written with arabic letters is the way the hausa languge was written long before it was latinized. It was put on the naira to allowed the uneducated hausa market men and women who could read ajami recognized each value on the naira. I do believe it should be discontinue with since almost everyone can recognise number value now.

Ajami! Interesting. How about the 250 other languages that still have a large population that can neither read or write English? I guess the face of the Naira wasn't big enough to accommodate everyone.

I read an article recently on Arabic inscriptions on Naira notes that got me wondering. I was meant to understand it's a translation of the value of the currency in Arabic. But what is the status of Arabic in Nigeria, to have it on our currency? Last I checked, English is still the only formal language. I know it is the preferred language of worship for Moslems, like Latin is to some Catholics. But it is not the language of any Nigerian tribe I know. So my question is, why is it on the Naira notes?

@Idekeson
twas a true story!!! the person that told me was a half-brother to the person that died, i mean the dead guy!!

Still doesn't substantiate the story.

I'm in love with the silky voice of Monique Seka. I would strongly recommend you to listen to "Okaman" and "Baye". She really turns me on but I don't even understand the lyrics.

"Control Myself" LL and JLO

Getting old and not enough skills anyway.

You know you're Nigerian if you know which calling card will give you the best rate to call Naija.
