 Politics / Re: Police Arraign 25-year-old For Taking Picture With Blackberry Phone by iyeyemi: 11:31pm On Nov 15, 2010 |
Gosh what happened to all the lawyers nowww, if this had been a foreign' thread, a 'learned' person would have broken down this whole gist with relevant statutes and case law, instead all we have here are people forming intelligence when it is clear they are only running on sentiments and misguided 'common sense' From the little i have seen online, you can photograph anything or anyone in a public place including law enforcement officers in the united states and though i havnt seen anything about this with regards to Nigeria, since most of our laws are borrowed any ways i can bet that it will most likely be the same. But the section referred to on that charge sheet doesnt in anyway confirm that taking the pictures of this idle policemen is illegal. |

| Religion / Re: Why I Took 65-year Old Wife, By Kumuyi by iyeyemi: 11:35am On Oct 29, 2010 |
@Tudor, ok am nt going to try to hold brief for the 'men of God' of this world, but am sure no genuine pastor will claim to have the power to do anything cause all power is from God. And am sure that in her lifetime the late Mrs. Kumuyi must have been ill and healed a lot of times, but ultimately no one can live forever on this side of existence. That said am not even here to contest whether or not Kumuyi is or isnt a man of God, am just saying that it just feels mean to say she died like a chicken from cancer, nobody deserves that, nobody |

@Tudor, I also have some issues with faith! But I feel you should moderate your expressions when it comes to issues of personal loss. Empathy should not be a matter of religion but a consequence of common sense. You can talk about how 'fake' pastors can get, but to ask a man why he couldn't cure a sickly wife or raise a dead spouse seems to be stretching your self professed unbelief a little too far. |
| Literature / Re: Bba Has Ended And Your Troubles Continue: by iyeyemi: 10:50am On Oct 28, 2010 |
lol, had dis same discussion on fb quite recently and as usual there were mixed reactions. To each his own i guess. But my opinion is that Big Brother is a huge phenomenon the world over. It's empty, it's pointless, it's senseless, but it's popular! That basically sums up the world we live in today. It's sad but it's the reality we are faced with. Am sure more peeps are going t come in here and tear u to pieces for this piece cos ppl are quicker to defend their indulgence with vanity than other sensible stuff |

| Politics / Re: Facebook Influenced My U-turn On National Teams’ Ban — President by iyeyemi: 11:52pm On Jul 07, 2010 |
If the posts am seeing here regarding the need to be 'optimistic' and be 'happy' that 'our' president is changing internationally broadcasted govt. position cos of a few facebook posts are from young nigerians, then am more convinced that we have a long way to go. Wasnt the decision thought through? If it was then how on earth can facebook comments upturn the decision? And isnt it obvious that the facebook page is just another PR stunt? It's prolly one of his many aides sitting in one room in aso rock updating the page while he surfs some oda 'nationally important sites' |

| Literature / Re: Let's Improve Our Writing Skills Together By Doing This Writing Exercise by iyeyemi: 6:34pm On Nov 29, 2009 |
Lagos was really lovely at night - the ride across the uncharacteristically free third mainland bridge was turning out to be a very wonderful idea indeed. I reclined the seat as i watched her beautiful face reflecting the brilliant rays from each street light that whizzed past. My wife was always the spontaneous type , 'Dear, I have an idea that will help ease the stress of the week" That idea was this - a ride around town at 7.30 on a saturday evening. It turned out to be brilliant idea, as the breeze caressed my face, frayed nerves received the miraculous touch of nature and I was slipping into some sort of nirvana, when all of a sudden she pulled over, almost violently. I jerked up straight fearing the worst, perhaps she had sighted robbers up ahead. Instead, she whipped out a condom, turned toward me and burst out, 'Whose is this?' As if in a trance i responded, 'M-m-m mine, sorry, ours dear" 'But we have never used rubber and you know I would never consider it" By this time the engine was off. 'Jimmy, the matter is simple, tell me the truth, or we are going to spend this wonderful evening together on this wonderful spot and who knows what wonderful guests we might entertain' The truth? It was going to be a very long night indeed. |
| Politics / Re: Lagos Citizens To Have State Identity Card In 2010 - Fashola by iyeyemi: 7:22pm On Nov 25, 2009 |
aisha2: Wow, suddenly Fashola is the Infallible, All Seeing, All Knowing, Never-to-be-questioned god to whom we must all bow in unreserved obeisance. Well for your information, we aint all docile followers, some of us actually ask questions and that's what a democracy is about. Have you ever been harassed by lastma b4? Just last week i saw a man receive a head but for raising his voice at a lastma official. Go and tell that man about the constructive and positive work fashola is doing. Imagine u re driving and u get stopped by a police officer. He asks you for all the documents he should and u tender 'em all. Then he asks for ur id card, wch perhaps u forgot at home, picture the rest. I never said the idea was bad, but i have lived in lagos long enough to know that in the end the bad effects will outweigh the good ones if the institutions we have on ground are the same. Talking about leadership potential, i am sure ur leadership style would be ASK NO QUESTIONS!!! pscheewwww |
| Politics / Re: Lagos Citizens To Have State Identity Card In 2010 - Fashola by iyeyemi: 5:33pm On Nov 24, 2009 |
While acknowledging that the idea is not such a bad one ie It will be good for planning and all that and if done right might even help in law enforcement. But there are other implications to be considered. What requirements would be made of a person seeking to obtain this card? Would it be an offense to be without the card? What will happen if I am stopped and am unable to produce the card? The bottomline - the institutions on ground are not ideal to enforce this innovation. We all know about the lastmas and the kais of this world, this would just be another avenue for 'revenue' generation and let's nt even talk about the police. Great Idea - Yes, Great Implementation - Not likely |
| Music/Radio / Re: Down By Modenine Ft. Blaise, Kraft And Terry Tha Rapman by iyeyemi: 7:28pm On Nov 20, 2009 |
Abeg make una no vex, i am nt here fronting like bad ass hip hop head, but why the beef for modenine? As far as I can tell, the guy's so much of a better lyricist than all dem other 'rappers' out there. Could someone please explain why anyone would say the guy is a dry lyricist P.S without the usual yabees of course, am highly sensitive to unnecessary insults  |

Thanks for commending my , 'Postulations' stereo.lol |
| Literature / Re: Writers, Endangered Species? by iyeyemi: 10:59am On Nov 10, 2009 |
It's really a reflection of the society at large. What sort of viewership do u think a reality show for writers would command? Companies are, in the end, profit oriented or at best all about creating greater awareness for their products and services. They would be hard pressed to sponsor a show that does not have mass appeal. Sadly, am nt sure ow much of a mass hysteria a show for writers would be. Still you can consider that a challenge to your creativity - think up something that will arrest public attention while at the same time serving your writer's passion |

| Religion / Re: Christians Should Learn The Language In Which The Bible Was Revealed. by iyeyemi: 8:59am On Oct 06, 2009 |
Isnt it obvious to both sides of this argument that noone ever 'wins' religious debate!!! Each side will squeeze out 'empirical' justifications for their own religion, when the truth is no-one will ever know the truth about stuff that was concocted years ago and which obviously is not as perfect and divine as our pastors and clerics want us to believe. But then again, it's always intriguing to watch the endless back and forth even though it can be boring at times. GUYS GET A LIFE!!! |
| Literature / Re: Copywriter Needs A Job! by iyeyemi: 6:12pm On Sep 28, 2009 |
@swagga, actually been working wt a small agency for over year now. So I guess you could say am half a rookie. Worked on a few accounts but nothing mega as yet, though i have learnt a whole lot within the relatively, 'small' period. That's the reason why I need the big break to take my thing to the next level! |

AjaraEwuro: Nigeria ain't got a future as long as there are guys like you who can't seem to express an opinion without spitting so much venom! Sometimes it's not so hard to see why we are this knee-deep in trouble. Nigerians just can't seem to have a decent, intellectual argument without the usual name calling! Pathetic stuff!! Na Wa!!!!! |

| Politics / Re: Merrill Lynch Ranks Nigeria World’s Safest Economy by iyeyemi: 8:26pm On Nov 18, 2008 |
@diggler, i must confess your analysis is rite on the money, obviously you know what you are talking about and not merely feeding on the fallacy of a company dats nt even on the ground to know first hand what they are talking about. How can an economy be safe when small businesses dont thrive? How can an economy be safe when unemployment is as blatant as our dark pigment?how can economy be safe when there is practically no middle class?I admit i aint much on economics, but common sense dictates that before you can use such superlatives as safest, u need to have gone thru safe or safer, which i can boldy say Nigeria is neither. |
| Literature / Re: When Is Eze Goin To Finish School? by iyeyemi: 5:15pm On Sep 22, 2008 |
Eze almost finished school but one day while he was studying hard, his brains expanded and exploded and he died a very painful death indeed(obviously).Poor Eze he always did have such a big head. One minute of silence for our dearly departed Eze, who rests headless in his grave with his favorite fictional novel,'Get knowledge or die trying' |
