LiteratureRe: Ebooks, Do Nigerians Really Buy Them ? by Illuminatus(m): 12:51am On Jul 19, 2014
Some Nigerians read. We read eBooks, too. The lot of us just wanna do it for free, or for a relatively small amount.

0rex: Honestly I don't really understand the logic behind the NCC's stand on the BB issue. If we are to follow the explanation on the data compression of BB phones, then in reality if BB and non-BB phones cannot have the same amount of data for the same price, the data for BB phones ought to be more expensive & not cheaper.
Your argument could be likened to arguing that the fuel given to a man that drives a Honda should be less expensive than the one given to a man that drives a Pegeuot 406 because it consumes less full. I (and many others like me) argue that the data give to non-BB users should be (relatively) equal in size and cost to that given to BB users.

what's wrong with these people?! He is crazy. An average male doesn't cut off his penis, himself. Moreover, goes don't explain themselves to mortals.
PhonesRe: For Your Information by Illuminatus(m): 11:22am On Jul 18, 2014
Okay. Point taken. I've noticed this before, anyway. But the thing is that they don't provide the same amount of data for non-BB users as they do for BB users for (relatively) the same price.

There isn't a one true formula for reacting this kinda thing. It depends on you and the person involved. Traditionally, the word, "sorry" comes to mind. It is the only word to show that you care about them and what they're going through without pretending that you do know what they're going through.

luvmijeje: I just finished reading 'hunger games' by Susanne Collins. I hate reading science fiction but this book has totally change my view.

one of the reasons I hate science fictions is my inability to relate with the story lines especially when the authors start playing with scientific words. But the author of this book inject 'humanity' to his/her Story. Courage, defiance, freedom, love, death, greed and so much more.

There are still some scientific terms I didn't understand but on scale of 10, I will give it a 8.
As far as Science Fiction goes, The Hunger Games trilogy doesn't rate 8 for me, more like 5. Robin Cook and Michael Critchon have written books with more relatable plots...

HealthRe: Is It Adviceable To Remove Pubic Hairs With Shaving Powder? by Illuminatus(m): 8:59am On Jul 14, 2014
Don't you dare use shaving powder or cream down there! Some experts have said that these bumps appear because a) the area got infected or b) the area wasn't properly shaved, making the hair have in-growths. Some people (like me) have really sensitive skin. I advice you to trim with electric clipper and not shave.

Finished The Storyteller yester-night and it an excellent rebound novel (from my disappointing relationship with The Cuckoo's Calling). I liked the plot in general, but what really kept me turning the pages faster and faster is the story of the uporiry(vampire) within the story of dealing with the evil that was done to one's race two generations ago. At the final page, I was contented.
Now reading And The Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseni. Page 17.

So, I've finally finished The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (who is supposedly, J.K. Rowling) and I confess that it was disappointing. Yes, it had this interesting plot with such potential but I was disappointed that the story wasn't what I expected. There was so much description and narration, and then some characters speak a variety of English I've never heard of before. I don't know what to say about the ending, except that although I was sated, I wasn't satisfied. I rate the book 4 of 5. *shrug*
Anyway, I started reading The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult. Yesterday. Now at Page 51...
Nairaland GeneralRe: Nigeria Is A Useless Country,you Need To Be Away From Nigeria To See It! by Illuminatus(m): 7:16pm On Jul 09, 2014
This is an idea only you have. Nigeria isn't useless. Yeah, some Nigerians are useless, but that doesn't make the country useless. Nigeria is quite useful. We know it, the West knows it, and even you know it (if you didn't know that, know it now).

Brisingr: how good is this book ?
I heard it was written by that Popular Female writer
Well, it isn't bad. So far, it is interesting with some mystery, although it could be better.
The book is written by Robert Galbraith...

HealthRe: Many Nigerians Have Hygiene Issues. by Illuminatus(m): 4:15pm On Jul 08, 2014
Since you were obviously quite disturbed by the reported odor, did you talk to the man about it? Did you tell him? I'm guessing no...
And therein lies another problem. I believe that you had mentioned to the man (rather than rant about it here) that you perceive a particular BO from him, he would make conscious effort to improve.

People have various reasons of getting into a relationship. If at some point your relationship isn't meeting up to your needs, you can call it quits.
Anyway, in this particular scenario, the girl reportedly told the guy before hand that she isn't ready for the intimacy stuff. It shouldn't have suprised him, then...
