TravelRe: Need Help On A Little Trip Within Nigeria by Illuminatus(m): 7:16pm On Jul 10, 2016
I don't know for certain but I'd say it would take like four hours tops to travel from Anambra to Benin (depending on the parts in the states sha o). You should meention if you're driving or taking a bus. Buses would take about one and half hour more...
FamilyRe: Parents, Be Mindful Of What Your Children Do With Their Phone by Illuminatus(m): 7:08pm On Jul 10, 2016
You can be a parent...or you can be an annoying parent. If you have done the best you can as a parent, you neednt worry yourself to death with stuff like this. How much are you going to control? Its better you teach your kids why they should or shouldn't do stuff instead of telling them what to (not) do. Do it so much and you become terrifying/annoying/unapproachable. And that's when you've lost your kid.

He really deserves this honor. He's one of the most futuristic and smart lecturers I've met. More power to him!

PS: This picture doesn't do him justice at all!

LiteratureRe: What Are You Reading Right Now And What Page Are You? by Illuminatus(m): 5:36pm On May 29, 2016
So, I've stumbled and stayed with fantasy and science fiction for a while. I just finished Ted Dekker's Blink of an Eye and started Black. I've changed my mind about Dekker who I disliked after reading Hacker!

Lol. After this I'm going to try and read Giovani's Room. I've read so much about it and I can't take that anymore, I've got to read it myself!
LiteratureRe: What Are You Reading Right Now And What Page Are You? by Illuminatus(m): 4:32pm On Apr 03, 2016
Reading Legion by Brandon Sanderson. Before this, I read The Emperor's Soul which introduced me to this awesome author. Wow!
LiteratureRe: What Are You Reading Right Now And What Page Are You? by Illuminatus(m): 11:43pm On Feb 28, 2016
Now reading The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson. Hopefully, it'll be much better than the last thriller I read; NYPD Red by James Patterson. Before that, I read Night Music by JoJo Moyes which isn't Me Before You. Before that, I read Marrow by Tarryn Fisher. I've been busy. Lol.

No. Not good. Mob justice is wrong. They should have taken him to the police for proper prosecution. In the course of 'punishing' the man, they too have committee a crime.

manmacho It's unfortunate you may have been missed under this promo but we do get a lot of queries on several matters. To quickly resolve this you need to provide your IUC number. I understand your frustration but there nothing I can do without.
Yup. I'm waiting for your response too. The same thing happened to me and I didn't get the promised bonus. Pretty bogus...
FamilyRe: My Married Friend Needs Your Advice by Illuminatus(m): 5:26am On Jan 06, 2016
I don't know how long she courted this guy before they got married but I don't think they communicate well. If they did, she should have understood that he's running a program, the kinda program he's running and what that really means. She's already made the journey so I'd advise her to stay and work on her marriage. This is the early period of what could be a lifetime and it's this time that you build the foundation of the relationship. It isn't advisiable to give that up for anything. So, I say moving back to Nigeria isn't a good idea.

However, I'm concerned that she's the one fending for herself. That says a lot of her husband if he really let her come over and then leave their upkeep to her. How can he not give her money for food? Doesn't he pay the bills? If really doesn't do those things, there's a problem and it needs to be addressed immediately. But if he does and this lady is just concerned about pocket money, then it's a better scenario and my advise above will stand while also encouraging her to cut spending and work toward getting her papers faster. Good luck.
RomanceRe: Please.. I Am Having Sleepless Night I Need An Advise... by Illuminatus(m): 5:17am On Jan 06, 2016
What's with all this drama? This is giving you sleepless night? If she really liked and wants you, she wouldn't even be suggesting seeing these guys, and thinking of marrying someone except you. It's sad that you've played this game for too long. People change, I think she did during her IT when things evidently changed. Just talk to her and tell her how you feel. How you really feel. Hear what she has to say. If what she says makes remote sense, ie, that she'll cease seeing this other people and that the two of you will now start building a monogamous relationship to the exclusion of other guys and her parents, then, by all means give her another chance. However, if she doesn't say anything like this, just part ways now before things get nasty.

Yonce:
Maybe you missed where I said his children.......especially the first two were not easy to love.
Can you imagine how difficult it must have been for a single dad whose wife just got into jail to raise three boys with issues bigger than the normal average kid? Andre already with signs of a mental illness Luscious dreads more than anything, Jamal still refusing to play with trucks and settling for Barbies, and Hakeem barely a toddler still needing breast milk from his mom. All the while trying to get Empire off the ground, writing songs, scouting talent, producing just so the company can be what it is today and secure a future for his generations so they could all be born with a diamond spoons when he didn't even have a rubber spoon?

That's why he left family---Bunky and Vernon, to raise them......he didn't have a choice. They way he's acting towards them is because of the way they turned out on their own, Andre being bipolar is not his fault, Jamal being gay is not Luscious' fault either......so what exactly is your first statement about? undecided
he might not have been responsible for making Jamal gay and Andre bipolar, but he's responsible for how they feel about those things. He made Jamal uncomfortable because of his sexuality. The way he keeps treating Andre is not beneficial to his getting better at all. The unhealthy competition he's instigating amongst them is...unhealthy. The way he keeps pressuring them. It's part of what shaped them into the adults they've become. Their mother was away to save his black ass.

Yonce:
The simple truth is that whether Andre takes medication or not.......it doesn't make a difference to Luscious. All the doctors in the world will not erase the trauma a little boy suffered because of his mother and now he's watching the first fruit of his marriage suffer such.
No matter the drugs, the meds it can never be easy for him to erase it.

Do the math, just because he's aged now doesn't mean he can suddenly forget his childhood especially when he's being constantly reminded when he looks at Andre. Did you see him in church during Andre's baptism? He chose to be there for his son but it was like watching his mother assault him over again......this is not about understanding bipolar. This is a little boy who suffered the effect when he didn't even understand what was going on. I'm not a fan of him. But I understand his fúcked up relationship with Andre.....I can't blame him.
and what about the role he played in making his kids this way? The way he reacted to them went a long way in making those guys what they became. Remember Jamal's Good Enough and Keep Your Money? The way he kept pressurizing Hakeem to work harder and then Andre...hmmmm. That's a different ball game. Whatever his demons are, he should have handled them and not let them haunt his kids too. This just keeps the vicious cycle running.

Thanks, Dave. What I don't get is why nothing is being done yet? When we get a repeat of ALUU4? I guess it's too much to expect that undergraduates to understand the graveness of jungle justice. Sigh.

Moreover, what's this SMS? Sounds like Trial by Ordeal...

Just finished the Final Detail by Harlan Coben and The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. The former is a serious mystery thriller and the later is a comedy about a...well, you already know. Lol. I'm currently reading Anything Could Happen by Will Walton. Something for the YA reading group. It isn't spectacular, but it's not a total waste either.
