Nimblemind:
Lol... You kidding, right?
Even Banky W raps better than him!

Banky W raps better than most of these crappers we have out there. His lines are well laced.

I know dumb jazzy would be the one to make the move foe a peace treaty.
He would have thought "If Olamide carry my matter enter studio, e don be for me be dat o, as I no get anybody wey go diss am back. "

LesbianBoy:
I still can't believe many Nigerians are supporting olamide and the ybnl crew. It just shows many nigerians are MAD its just few that are in the hospital! Olamide used vulgar words and threw the microphone on the floor simply because his protege didn't win an award. Who tha fvck does he think he is? And that short brat called lil kesh even went on twitter and bragged that he makes more than the amount of the SUV in 2 weeks and he wasn't heavily criticized. Imagine! Such a proud FOOL! No wonder he didn't win! I hope ETISALAT terminates olamide's contract! Agbero like him! Tout! Compound fool! Guys lets make this trend #EtisalatTerminateOlamideContract so it will serve as a deterrent to other yeyebrities that they are 'role models' and should behave themselves in public! Nonsense!

Dey there dey plot downfall of person wey fit feed u, ur papa and your future generation. No go reason as God go take bless you.

Whether Dumb Jazzy and Olamide set together dey drink beer dis nyt, u no know. You wan plot person downfall.
Broke assed, bloody blinking bas.t.ard.

Ishilove:
Y'all are too sensitive. Seriously

Happy new year to you too

With the volatile situation of the country and the deep love for our tribal heritage, we can not afford not to.

Ishilove:
Before anyone accuses me of tribalism, my oldest and closest friend is a Yoruba lady from Ondo state.

Does that matter? Ur friendship to a Yoruba lady is a personal thing that is inconsequential on nairaland. Inasmuch as you might not have the intention of hurling insults, you successfully made the Yoruba race an object of ridicule by opening this thread.

No thanks.

In any case, Happy Nu Year!

blairlady:
I totally agree your number point. Especially the igbo's practice this. Both men and women practice this.
You can't date an igbo guh with 100% guarantee he wil walk you down the altar....

We. Dey wait sir

I sent email in over an hour ago.

darrytoz:
Good day to the esteemed judges, erudite coordinators, fellow debaters, and the informed spectators. I am Darrytoz, the second speaker of the polytechnic ibadan. I am here to speak on the motion ''geniuses are made not born''.

GENIUS:an exceptionally intelligent person or one with exceptional skill in a particular area of activity.

"Genius are made, not born'', this encouraging saying has driven a great number of parents to explore their children's potential by all educational means. Books like The Da Vinci curse by Leonardo Lospernato do a good job of summing up a problem of our time that anyone striving to be a universal genius will inevitably fail.
Because today, unlike in Da Vinci's time, there is so much competition out there in every field that only people who devote themselves to one subject are successful. Anyone who wants to be a professional high flyer, the 'father of the year', a star violinist, a globetrotter and an art connoisseur all at once should either rethink his priorities or feel satisfied about being incredibly mediocre in each of these fields. After all, it is rare for a genius to be an all-rounder.

Alleged geniuses like Mozart, Geoethe and Picasso are not famous the world over for their unique inborn gifts, they were simply lucky enough to be born with a certain amount of talent that they could then activate with a whole lot of hard work and dedication. Anyone who wants to emulate a genius should take note of the fact that neither Mozart nor Einstein changed his profession every couple of years.
One reason why Steve Jobs was so successful was that he put all his energy into one thing and in the process sacrificed his chance of ever winning the 'father of the year' award. It is not to say that his path does not have potholes, traffic and detours, but instead that only people who experiment without fear of failure and accept that they can learn from it are bound to produce great things.
Over 100 years ago, Napoleon Hill asked himself whether the success of outstanding personalities could be explained by a formula. Did they all use the same toothpaste? Did they all follow the same traveling priest? Hill's answer which he used as as the basis for his book ''Think and Grow Rich'', was far more rudimentary for him, success and wealth were the consequence of having a clear goal and a burning desire to achieve it. And so, we can reinforce what we already knew about Mozart, Einstein and Jobs: they all worked hard and were ready to accept mistakes and failures.

Despite the widely-held belief that geniuses are all child prodigies, a race apart from ordinary mortals, a British psychologist claimed that the secret of their success lay more in hard work than in any innate intellectual gifts.
Genuine creative achievements depend more on perseverance over the long haul than on prodigrous childhood skills. We cannot all be geniuses but we can learn from them. What makes geniuses special is their long-term commitment. They struggle very hard and they keep on persisting. They enjoy their work. They excel at concentrating and persevering. Their efforts are focused, and all geniuses have a firm sense of direction. Like everybody else, even the greatest minds that have ever existed have had to struggle and strive to achieve their goals.

In conclusion, people can only truly be geniuses or achieve success if they work hard and consciously choose certain options over others. Veering off the paths of mediocrity and taking drastic measures. Becoming a genius is both a choice, that is within everyone's reach, and a difficult journey that one has to necessarily undertake (a quest that challenges you to self-actualize).
Genius become what they want to and manifest what their hidden potentialities are to state otherwise or to assert that they are either born or made is to continue paying homage to a false dichotomy that has longed outlived its usefulness. Thank you.

Darrytoz, much as I enjoyed your article, your referencing was not just on point. I can not just go to www.theguardian.com.uk and find the information provided in the article. It has to be precisely a web address that when I click on it, it rakes me straight to the place you got your information from.
Assuming you were using the APA or PLA format for your references, will you just put the name of the book without further information to help a future reader?
