*insert evil laugh here* The capris-wearer goes down hard. Step aside Nadal, the legend that is FedEx needs to add more hardware to his trophy cabinet. Federer this championship is yours baby!

Na wah oh, make una see story lol.

[size=13pt] Chicago man wears Packers tie to work, is promptly fired[/size]
From Chicago's WGNtv.com comes the unfortunately real story of a Chicago car salesman who was fired because he wore a Green Bay Packers tie to work. And making it even worse, the man wore it because his grandma was a Packers fan who had recently died and was buried two days before her beloved team's NFC Championship game matchup with the Chicago Bears.

This is serious. People should know that sports-related tensions can run very high. I would not advice anyone to wear a NY yankees jersey to work here . . . RedSoxism is a hard-core religion with devout, fanatical followers.

Any chance there is a longer video so we can put his quote into context?

I like that he is talking about what people are probably thinking about. Pastors shouldn't shy away from controversial topics, but with the right heart, attitude and direction from the Holy Spirit, do their best to address all issues.

Oya JK, do your thing and wrap it up so we can move on. And for those who forgot to give a score, I am helping them - they meant to write 95%, they told me just now

sweetguy10:
I Understand the comical note in the bolded statement above but honestly the Spartans have a reputation for being Muscled , brave . Even the smallest of their men keep to fit hence the 6 packs etc . Even me gan self could not get my eyes off those packs , wished it was me though.

Lol. I can bet it made many men (and women) suddenly feel under-'acheived' .

Yes it is and completely historical . Google the battle of thermophylae you'll see what I am talking about .

Vieira:
It is based on history, but I would not say completely historical.

Millrr wrote his comic as an interpretation, so the main events happened but he added his own jara to it.

Hehe . . . plenty of jara lol.

Looking Like yet another Rafa vs Roger Grandslam Final.

Yeah it does doesn't it?

I hope we're suprised though . . . on Nadal's side only

^Ah, na me be the blessed one oh, honestly I tell you .

Low-key? why now? We're supposed to be seeing the highlight reel on E!tonight and the pictures all over the news . Iro oh, we must have our own celebration, na by force. Oya, where's the location? Chic2pimp can be the DJ, Chiogo will take care of the decorations, SemiD will supply the food, I will be the bouncer at the door to keep out the uninviteds

Chiogo, report yourself for duty asap. Hope school is not too hectic ehn . . .

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=170354.msg7601467#msg7601467 date=1295976059]Lol! Shebi you came hard on Roethlisberger earlier![/quote]And I still will. I just despise the Jets 1000times more  . Ben is still a rapis_  no matter how many SB rings he acquires it will not dampen the dirt on his record. Finito. 

As for the Packers I don't think they have over-achieved ooh! They remind me of the 08 Giants plus they have the 2nd best D in the league! Armed with a QB that can improvise and extend plays they always had a chance in that open NFC Conference

You're right about their defense. But honestly, how many of us were picking them to ride all the way to the SB? I'm really happy for Rodgers though . . . after all the crap he had to take from Brittney Favre. This must be sweet success. And for GB fans too.

Can you imagine the stick Cutler is getting right now? Not a fan of Cutler but to play professional american football must mean you have some balls so for once I think he is being unfairly criticized! Maybe his body language didn't help but I doubt these arm chair critics want to go to the Superbowl as badly as he does after coming this far

Honestly I tell you. I never thought the day would come I would be defending Cutler too (Bawo must be so proud of us, lol). There is no player that would sabotage his own chances at getting to the SB, why is that even a question? yeye chicago fans and sports 'analysts'.

^lol. Just make sure to deposit it in that account number I gave you don't worry, I will soon add your name to the acct.

Toba, Congrats. May God continue to smile on all that you put your hands to do. Make sure you represent NL positively oh . . . we no wan see for news EFCC arrested one toba for chopping FG money

Claus:
@ some of the responses that have been critical of the man, I guess this must be one of the exceptions to the "touch not my anointed" principle.

Haha! Touché! nice one claus

Oga Alexleo and Uche, I salute your responses men.

Deepsight, I am fine. Thanks for asking. I hope you are well too.

toba:
@Mudley or which ever new user name u decide to come up with, i promise to be your friend on NL same goes for the ever 'dynamic, responsive and proactive' moderator MMW. 

Ehen! now you're talking! 

NuclearSir, I thank you for your wisdom as always. Oga I troway salute 
 
Toba, I've lost count of how many times I've asked you to lay off MMW. I'm frankly disappointed you refuse to do so. Unfortunately you're not breaking any rules, or else I'd have asked for you to be banned. You continue to feed the fire instead of leaving it be. You see the mess is being cleaned up as soon as it appears. There's nothing to be angry at. Ahn ahn . . . na only you dey? Na me suppose vex pass everybody self. Abeg move on now  

FedEx and Jokervic move ahead without breaking a sweat. Lets hope their match-up will bring lots and lots of fireworks. I think Federer will handle his bizniz

Francis Chan.



I watched one of his videos at church few weeks ago and was really blown away by this man's gentle humble spirit. I am not in the least bit suprised to hear this story about his life. This is how we have all been called to live - to deny ourselves, to decrease. What a great example for us believers, I pray God blesses him (and many unknown others) who prefer the glory of the cross, to the glory of men.

^Nice discussion fellas. This is one of the reasons I like NL, all sides are almost always well represented.

Krayola:
I think what is more important is the positive impact our world-views can have on our lives and the lives of others. Faith in this context is trusting that living a certain kind life is in line with the will of God, whatever you conceive God to be. . . and not believing in the certainty of claims about events which mounting evidence suggest never happened. Faith IMO should not be in conflict with science and other academic disciplines. It should be informed by them, and should evolve accordingly.

Cuts at the heart of the matter. Conceptions of God are as diverse as we have people.

It was A-forry's buffdai? AHHH . . . owanbe was where?

Happy Birthday dude. I hope you had a fabulous time and rocked till you could rock no mo'. And I pray this year ahead brings all that your heart desires and seeks for. You are an awesome guy, and I pray awesomeness never ceases to be your portion. Amen oh!

Here's a small cake for you. Oya cut am make we all chop . . .

According to this blogger, the veracity of the Bible is irrelevant.

You refering to this quote:

Faith then is not belief in a certain doctrine about Jesus, but a trust in using him as an example of what it looks like to live a God-centered life. Through the stories in the Gospels (whether or not the details are historical are irrelevant),

Good observation and yeah it would seem so. I didn't even look at it that way . . . I think his ultimate point was whether or not biblical accounts can be proven to be historical is irrelevant - because the stories and accounts we read, are powerful in and of themselves.

To a christian (at least to me) whether or not the bible can be verified to be accurate has always been irrelevant. It is power by itself. It's the words, the stories, the message that jumps off the pages and becomes real in my life - this is why I personally believe it, enough to desire to walk like Jesus did.

Krayo Happy New 2011 oh I hope this year brings you all that your heart desires.

I like this article. I love this article.

As per this quote:

Faith then is not belief in a certain doctrine about Jesus, but a trust in using him as an example of what it looks like to live a God-centered life.

I may be talking in circles, but inevitably, this "trust" factor is borne from some kind of belief in the first place. In other words you cannot have trust without belief . . . but this is just a minor note. His point (and a very solid one) is that shallow belief alone in doctrine void of a tangible change (like Jesus) in how a 'believer' lives, is empty.

And I have just fallen in love with this bit -

Faith is about testing, questioning, and doubting. In science these qualities lead to greater truths, why shouldn't the same apply to religion? For me, religion is about embracing the unknown and the difficult -- a journey of exploration that never really gets there because ultimately I am finite. Faith is about being comfortable with my doubts because doubt is part of my search for truth. Faith is not a closing of my eyes and mind to the real world, to science, to modern knowledge, or to experience, but it is the opposite: an opening up and a new way of seeing.

This is simply exquisite. He might as well have crawled into my heart, took notes, and came out to express these words in a way I never could. Beautifully said. Thanks a billion for sharing this Krayola!

You haff killed me
Na my desktop suffered some of the bashing

I will not accept bribe to add ANYTHING to my rating. THIS IS NAIJA!!!!! *kicks table*

ROTFLOL . . . .      LOL . . . no dude, you have killed me lol. Mehn, imagine a naija-version youtube spoof of that scene . . .

I hope your desktop was high quality and survived the unjust beating after years of faithful service, and not like JK who bought his from malaysia 

^mehn, how were you able to get away with a 6-game slide and nobody in here taunted you at least once? men, we're all slacking without Bawo. lol.

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=344420.msg7552475#msg7552475 date=1295308724]Come on Van Gundy is not a bad coach[/quote]I know jare . . . its just that his voice, appearance, comments leave a whole lot to be desired.

I have known that since 19kindergaten

haha . . . korrecktly smart boy. Do that, and you shall live long and happy.

Not really! It simply means teams from the East would be more balanced and bruised going in to the Finals making life somewhat easier for the guys in the West! No be small gbege go happen for playoffs this year! Celtics,Heat,Magic,Hawks,Bulls

TB.40, I rebuke you!

Na dead guy! He has let them down every single important playoff series he has been in!

Haba now. He took them all the way to the finals against the Spurs, without any real help. He brought Cleveland out of irrelevance into significance. He fulfilled the contract he signed and was more than a model citizen the whole time never once getting into trouble. What more do they want from the guy? Let him chase his dream and hearts desire, how can anyone beef with that? yeye cleveland fans and media.

Can Mark Cuban try and trade for someone! Anyone! I shoulda known Shawn Marion is useless without alley-oop passes from Jason Kidd

ROTFLOL . . . I thought he was the Matrix, no? Who can Cuban trade for without giving up a good player on the team? You can't exchange peanuts for chocolat oh.

Chei, JeSoul haff finish work pata pata

Of course now, na me suggest movie, I berra stand up to it

So where do i start. .
300
Story of hot-headed King Leonidas (Gerald Butler) who against the advise of the gods, goes to war with against King Xerxes. I remember seeing the ad on STV and damn, I was REALLY desperate to see the movie.

Wave upon wave of King Xerxes soldiers kept coming at em, but the 'Actor no dey die' thing didn't work this time. The fight scenes were very well choreographed and intense, at some point i grabbed a stick and plate(as shield) and tried to sync with their moves .If this movie gets a 3D remake, i'll definitely get a copy.

LOL . . . so this is what you do when you're at home ehn who was the opponent? your unarmed TV? or the furniture? or a poor family member? lol.

I won't even talk about their bodies as that's for the ladies

Ahh . . . not only for the ladies oh. Guys can also learn a thing or two

I'll give the movie a 70

Only a 70? which other movie has been able to make a whole V3 pick up household utensils, pose like a spartan warrior, and throw jabs into the air as if fighting an enemy? That's right, no other movie has been able to evoke such a response. So fix that rating dude, or else . . . HAROO!!!!

^Lol. Duly noted Dulcet[b]7[/b]

Noetic isn't a troublemaker at all. He's just very very passionate in the negative about Islam and made sure to let our muslim friends in their section know all about it. Lol.
