hahahahaha.  OAM4896Jay.  You in pain, ol' buddy?  My most favourite "Poor Arsefan."

You making fun of my imaginary mother? Or my writing skills?  Choose carefully, earthling.    Either way, you're cooked!  Finito!  Epetodo boys must be the kind that need to learn their lessons the hard way.

Katsumooootooooooooooo!  Missing in Action.

First Kilode?!, now Katsumoto.  Something about K-names? 

Best I blame it on the gradual descent of Nairaland.


More footy news:
RM also scored 6, count 'em, S-I-X goals.  Not a fan of the club, not even a fangirl of Special One anymore since he lost his damn mind.    Just prefer La Liga to Premier League long-ball shoulder-barging football.

But, you thought this was going to be about Gunners 8-2 match and "Poor Arsefans," didn't you?   No no no.  I would not kick "Poor Arsefans" while they're down.  Only a sick mofo, a sadist or DK would do such a thing.    Most "Poor Arsefans" are good folk.  And, I do have a number of [b]"Poor Arsefans" [/b]as friends.  Poor Debosky - he's a true believer!  I'm on your side, Blacksta.

I would like to start my Idobale now.

She just called me on phone now - I tell you no lie.  What should I tell her? 

She's fretting about the Abuja bombing; says she was told not to travel near mainland bridge in Lagos, nitori won n so'pe won tun ma so bomb si'be na. 

And of course, she went to a party today. lol.  Is the sky blue?!  A friend's birthday:  "Nise ni ori mi n wu ni.  Gbogbo awon omo e. . .won plan 60th birthday e, won surprise e ni o.  Gbobgo won no wa!"  hahahahahahaha.

Nice.  I heard a lot of Obey and Barrister as well, while growing up.  Being more of a traditionalist in my music taste, I am really happy to be rediscovering the earlier ones all over again.  Haruna Ishola - I was familiar with the name, but really didn't remember much of his songs. 

Another thing I'd love to see more of is an avenue for the "no-name" Nigerian traditional musicians to get their music out there and gain some fame and more financial reward for their talent and hard work.  For example, we have this drummer/singers that come to our house every holiday and play the most lovely brilliant praise-songs.  With their talking drums and impromptu orikis, it is truly something to witness.  I used to look forward to it every year.

I have a video of one of the bands during the last holiday, but you can see mother in the foreground getting her musical groove on, lol.  If I could edit her owanbe-loving self out, I'd post it. lol.  I wish those travelling musicians had an avenue to get their music to a wider audience, similar to what American no-talents are able to do by inundating Youtube with their karaoke nonsense. 

Seriously, eni to l'ori o ni fila, eni to ni fila o l'ori.

@Funkybaby

I've tried the ignoring tactic but it doesn't work. It generally gets worse. We can stay in the house weeks without talking to each other - seriously.

Dude,
Posting your issue and seeking advice on Nairaland at this inopportune time, you're caught between a power struggle between the misogynists, the old wives and the feminists - this is evidenced by the crazy advice you're getting - not that it would be much different at another time. 

You're right, "100% ignore" does not work to get off your back a person set on ruining your day; having a violent, angry and frustrated person in your sanctuary will age you and keep you in perpetual misery.

And who the hell tells a non-violent man to hit a woman to teach her a lesson?  For crying out loud!  Dude, you better not try it. You might find you like it, some wife-beating gene lurking underneath.    

arrangee:
We've been trying for the kids but she has had some problems - I can't really go into details.
Maybe all this things happening or about to happen are the reasons why God has not granted us kids - just maybe

That is the best thing in your life, bro.  There are no helpless children tying you together!  Pick race!  The family can get involved all they want; are they going to switch personalities with you all?  This is crazy!  Convince your wife you both need to move on with your lives; pay her off if you have to.  You each married the wrong person.  How much clearer does it need to be?  It's not bad enough, you have to bring innocent children into this insane asylum?  Later, come back here and tell us the fights you had when the kids are trying to sleep. lol.  I'll totally report you all to the child welfare department.

Seriously, Best of Luck to You Both for your Future.

Must Watch! PBS' Frontline investigation into events during New Orleans Katrina tragedy:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/law-disorder/

LAW & DISORDER: An on-air and online investigation into questionable police shootings by the New Orleans Police Department in the wake of Katrina.

Introduction
Henry Glover was last seen alive in the backseat of a white Chevy Malibu on Sept. 2, 2005, just days after Hurricane Katrina hit. Curled up and bleeding from a gunshot wound to the chest, Glover had been rushed to a temporary SWAT compound in the Algiers section of New Orleans by his brother Edward King and a Good Samaritan hoping to get medical attention.

"When I got there, I thought they was going to help us," King says. "But all I hear is, 'Get out the car, get out the car.' So I'm hollering: 'My brother's shot. He's shot.' The first thing they did was put us in handcuffs. And I'm like: 'Why? We're coming for help.'" Glover would soon be dead. Later, his charred remains were discovered on the banks of the Mississippi River, inside a car that had apparently been set on fire. The man who found the grisly scene tells FRONTLINE, "The magnitude of the way [that car] was destroyed, it was telling a story."

Now, five years after the hurricane, FRONTLINE, in partnership with ProPublica and The Times-Picayune, presents Law & Disorder. Beginning with the death of Henry Glover -- a case that has resulted in the indictment of five New Orleans police officers by a federal grand jury -- Law & Disorder digs deep into a number of incidents in which police shot civilians. It raises new questions about the actions of police officers -- and their command structure -- in the aftermath of the catastrophe.

"What happened here in the days after Katrina would call into question whether the mayor and others helped create a climate in which the police felt justified in taking extreme measures to regain control over the city, ultimately setting this chain of events in motion that has completely turned the New Orleans Police Department upside down," says correspondent and ProPublica reporter A.C. Thompson, whose initial investigation of Glover's death sparked the federal probe back in late 2008.

Law & Disorder reveals that, in the midst of post-Katrina chaos, law-enforcement commanders issued orders to ignore long-established rules governing use of deadly force. FRONTLINE reports that in one instance an NOPD captain told a group of officers: "We have authority by martial law to shoot looters."

The order suggests a line was drawn from New Orleans' top officials to officers in the field. Could stealing food, water or a TV now mean a death sentence?

Such a command, taken on its own, violates the intent of rules governing how and when police officers can use their guns. "The standards on deadly force are fairly clear," says Sam Walker, Emeritus Professor of Criminal Justice at the University of Nebraska. "An officer can use deadly force where there is a threat to someone's life … or that this person is armed and fleeing and likely to commit another armed offense. That's a very narrow range of situations."

The Glover probe, which has led to charges of murder, obstruction of justice and civil rights violations, is one of at least nine ongoing federal investigations into the NOPD. Most involve actions taken by police in the days after the storm, including the Danziger Bridge incident, in which police shot six civilians, killing two. Five former officers have pleaded guilty to federal charges in connection with the Danziger case thus far.

"People had been in the [Superdome] for several days and there was lawlessness on the street," Sally Forman, then press secretary for New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, tells FRONTLINE in her first television interview about what happened in central command during Katrina. "That's when the mayor says: 'Let's stop search and rescue and bring our force back to controlling the streets. Let's stop the looting, let's stop the lawlessness, and let's put our police officers on the streets, so that our citizens are protected.'"

"I never declared martial law," former Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco tells FRONTLINE. "I just decided that we needed to make a very strong statement to calm the media down and to calm the citizenry down … to show that we were in control of the environment."

"I remember at the time [former NOPD] Deputy Police Chief [Warren] Riley walked up in a pair of blue jeans, his uniform shirt and a ball cap, saying that we were not going to allow the looters to take the city; we were going to more or less protect the borders of it and march through downtown and take the city back," says Kevin Diel, a former NOPD officer. "It was a very broad order. What exactly did he mean, you know? Does he expect us, rank and file, to go through the streets, you know, shooting looters? Or how do you take a city that's underwater, you know?"

"We believed that we would lose officers, or were losing officers," Riley ultimately tells FRONTLINE. "We believed that people were shooting at our helicopters initially. That turned out not to be the case."

"The NOPD is a department that is in great need of work," federal prosecutor Jim Letten tells FRONTLINE. "It is in need of restoration, reformation … an absolute complete transformation, which has to happen, if NOPD is to survive as an effective law enforcement agency. . .  I think it's necessary even to the survival of this city."

. . .That's just how vile,wicked and twisted the heart of a woman really is. THEY DON'T CARE! Don't let them threaten you with fairy tales of "unhappy" divorced men who are lonely and live in regret. They are merely playing on your insecurities and if you understand female shaming/manipulations very well, you can literally force a yam tuber down their throats before they utter their usual nonsensical garbage called "conversation". How long can you hold out? One thing I know with women is that once they form a habit, it takes serious drastic action for them to stop. . . .

We have just finished a serious fight and I think it has gone too far now. Today's own was the worst yet. We've been married two years and we live in the U. She tries all kinds of control methods.

Now, trouble is not far from the surface, we simply can't disagree amicable.

Yes, oga OAM4J, I agree Nigerian accents deserve it's place, maybe even higher, on the list. 

I declare that I have a Nigerian/English/Continental/NONDESCRIPT accent.  What's your point?!    It's very attractive. "Sexy"? I don't know.  Is there a way to post one's voice on NL without having to go post video on YouTube first?

Nigerian Accent Ranked Fifth Sexiest In The World By CNN
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-739028.0.html

http://www.cnngo.com/explorations/life/worlds-sexiest-accents-130333?page=0,1

1) Italian
2) French
3) Spanish
4) Czech
5) Nigerian
6) Irish 

I agree, FRENCH and ITALIAN languages and accents are very attractive.  French is a precise language, traditional, beautiful, romantic and melodic; Italian is very expressive - men and women both draw you in when they talk.

SPANISH?  CNN is so crap!  Are they talking about Spaniards? Or Latin Americans?  I don't find any Spanish accent attractive.  Not one bit!   
True story: i) Took a taxi this afternoon - the driver was Mexican.  Soooo?  Attractive accent?  Not at all.  ii) And I just listened to a voice mail from a Russian friend (how different is a Czech accent from a Russky's?) Eastern European accents don't sound too hot sha.  High-pitched sing-songy in parts but not "sexy"?  All right, she's a girl. 

I imagine most of this survey, if there actually was a survey, and not some CNN intern pulling figures from the sky, are more women's opinion of men's accents. 

Just forget about the IRISH brogue.  That's a touch and go. 

Now, to the daddy of them all!  NIGERIAN accent.  At first, I did a double-take, cos no Nigerian accent would make my original list of top 5, no offense!  Then I thought, seriously, if you start with a process of elimination, I can see how the Nigerian accent would be considered attractive, to the point of ranking 5th (Okay CNN are full of it, but we'll give them a pass here). 

Start with the most well-known accents and most populous people in the world:  Is the Indian accent attractive in any way, to anyone, at any time?   Of course not!    What about the German, Aussie, South African or Japanese/Chinese accents?  Assault on my eardrum! 

Fact is, Nigerians have a lot of self-confidence; confidence is very attractive (read: sexy) to Yanks, whose women are very likely the main respondents to this non-scientific research.  Considering all these unshakeable facts, I'm quite surprised Naija accent didnt come FIRST.  Ojoro ni o. 

Mourinho's lost the plot.

Soccer Insider: Lionel Messi goal in 88th minute lifts Barcelona against Real Madrid to Spanish Super Cup title, 3-2
Washington Post
Posted at 06:57 PM ET, 08/17/2011

Lionel Messi’s second goal of the match, a 10-yard volley in the 88th minute, lifted FC Barcelona to a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup on Wednesday.

The European titans played to a 2-2 draw in Madrid last weekend.

Newly signed Cesc Fabregas crossed to Messi for the go-ahead strike, just six minutes after Karim Benzema provided the equalizer for Real.

Andres Iniesta scored for Barcelona in the 15th minute, assisted by Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo leveled the match five minutes later before Messi scored his first goal late in the opening half.

The game ended in chaos after Real Madrid’s Marcelo was sent off for taking down Fabregas from behind in front of the benches. Real Manager Jose Mourinho was involved in the scuffle, which spun out of control for several minutes.
