PoliticsDino Melaye's NYSC Certificate: 9th July 2000 And 8th July 2001 Are Sundays by joedams(op): 4:30pm On Mar 28, 2017
The NYSC Certificate released by Senator Dino Melaye as proof of his participation in NYSC reads that he served between 9th July 2000 and 8th July 2001.

However, checks showed that 9th July 2000 and 8th July 2001 are both Sundays. From my knowledge, NYSC doesn't start camps on Sundays, neither do they have their POP on Sundays.

Anyone with a more informed opinion?

TravelHow Big Is The Present Day Russia? by joedams(op): 7:03pm On Mar 19, 2017
Russia has changed borderlines since the existence of the now defunct Soviet Union and the Russian Empire that preceded it. While it may not be possible to comprehend how big Russia is by merely looking at the basic numbers, a good idea is to compare it with other nations across the globe.

Russia is almost 2 times the size of Canada. Canada is the second largest country in the world.

Russia is approximately twice the size of the United States of America.

Russia is also more than twice the size of Australia. Australia, which is considered by most people as vast because of its large barren areas, is almost half the size of present day Russia.

Russia is 2 times larger in size than China.

Russia is 6 times larger in size than India.

Russia is 32 times bigger in size than France.

Russia is 48 times bigger in size than Germany.

Russia is 70 times larger in size than the United Kingdom.

Russia is about one third the size of the entire continent of Africa.

Russia as a country has 9 different time zones!

Russia is very big indeed – that it actually spans nine different time zones! Can you even imagine how crazy it is? When people in European part of Russia are just waking up, inhabitants on the far Eastern part of Russia are already having dinner and preparing to go to sleep.

Russia is by far the largest country (by land mass) in the world!

The population of Russia is 143,393,467 as of Sunday, March 19, 2017, based on the latest United Nations estimates.

TravelReasons Why There Are Only Four International Passport Colours by joedams(op): 11:19pm On Mar 18, 2017
It turns out that there are only four primary passport colors in the world, and each country has its own reasons for choosing one of these colors for the cover.
Bright Side decided to find out what this choice depends on and to share the information with you. If long lines at the airport makes you feel bored, just remember this post.



Red

This is the most common color. Passports with a red cover are often chosen by countries with a historical or current communist system. Citizens of Slovenia, China, Serbia, Russia, Latvia, Romania, Poland, and Georgia have red passports. Member countries of the European Union, except Croatia, also use passports of burgundy and other shades of red. Countries interested in joining the EU, such as Turkey, Macedonia, and Albania, changed the color of their passports to red a few years ago. The Andean Community of Nations — Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru — also has burgundy passports.


Blue

This is the next most common color. The blue cover symbolizes the "new world". 15 Caribbean countries have blue passports. Within the block of South American countries the blue passport cover symbolizes the connection with Mercosur — a trade union. This includes Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. Venezuela is the exception here: it also belongs to the union, but its citizens have red passports. The passports of US citizens were changed to blue only in 1976.


Green

Most Muslim countries have green passports. Examples include Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Green is considered to be the favorite color of the Prophet Muhammad, and is a symbol of nature and life. The citizens of several West African countries — for example, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger, the Ivory Coast, and Senegal — also have travel documents that are various shades of green. In their case, the color indicates that they belong to ECOWAS (the Economic Community of West African States).


Black

The rarest passports are those with black covers. These can be found among the citizens of some African countries — Botswana, Zambia, Burundi, Gabon, Angola, Chad, Congo, Malawi and others. Citizens of New Zealand also have black passport covers, because black is the country’s national color.

Romance10 Unspoken Bro Codes All Men Should Know And Follow by joedams(op): 2:42pm On Mar 12, 2017
I hate rules. Anyone who is close to me is aware of my hatred of rules.

When you step out of your house, you enter a world of rules; traffic rules, work rules, party rules, bar rules, etc. Rules just have a way of taking the fun out of life. However, when it comes to bro codes, that shit is sacred and not for chuckles. The code was created by men for all men to follow, no exceptions. If you do not know what the bro codes are, you are failing your fellow brethren.

Here are the 10 bro codes that can never be broken.

Code # 1

If your bro’s wife, side-chick or girlfriend asks you any tricky questions about his activities, it is your duty to deny any and everything. You do not know who his female friends are, you do not know what he did last night, you do not know his current location and you certainly do not know if he is talking to any other women. You are to back up your brothers at all times even if his woman threatens your life. Also, you are not allowed to be close friends with your bro’s wife or girlfriend. You cannot meet them for tea or lunch or ride together to a church event. If your bro’s woman tries to get close to you, develop an anti-social attitude and get the heck out of there.

Code # 2

Your bro’s sister is totally off limit. It does not matter how hot she is; you are not permitted to approach under no circumstances. You do not stare at her, you do not comment on her desirable features, you do not ogle at her and you do not dare try to have sex with her. Mess with your bro’s sister and you will find yourself sleeping with the fishes.

Code # 3

If your bro hits on a girl and he is about to score and cheat on his wife or girlfriend, you are allowed to have one intervention only. You are permitted to remind him once of the bad choice he is about to make. If he tells you to go screw yourself, you are released from any responsibilities from that time onwards. You have done your duty as a bro. Pay for his drink and yours and let him be.

Code # 4

Wingman duties are not optional. At any point in time, a bro will need your services as a wingman. You are expected to avail yourself immediately and report for duty when called upon. Wingman responsibilities are not negotiable. You must support your bro until he achieves his ultimate goal which is, score a hot chick or two if he so desires. After he scores, you can proudly declare that you have fulfilled your civic duty as a wingman.

Code # 5

Let me just get this out of the way since I have minor grievances with this code. I will, however, abide by this code until the brotherhood decides to make amends. Do not, and I repeat, do not ditch your friends for a girl. If you made plans to hang out with your bros and you run into a girl who seems nice, make arrangements to see her the next day. Do not break formation and separate yourself from the herd. There are a few exceptions, though. If you are guaranteed a score that very day or in the next few hours, your bros must give you a pass. Proof may be required if any of your bros suspect that you lied about the guarantee.

Code # 6

If your Bro shares any nudes he received from a woman, you are required to protect that evidence at all cost. You are not to share the evidence with anybody else. Your bros will trust that the picture deal is struck between just you and him and it should stay that way. Any evidence your bro shares with you cannot be discussed or shared with your wife or girlfriend; period!

Code # 7

If your bro is dressed horribly and his outfit could generate some level of disgrace for the male species, you are obligated to tell him that he looks horrible. If your bro shows up to the club with pink shoes, blue pants and a loud green shirt, you are responsible for dragging him out of the club and away from the public eye. If you are both rocking the same outfit, do your other bros a favor and entertain each other all evening. You are not to approach any bros looking like a peacock in public.

Code #8

If your bro picks you to be his best man, it is an honor. As the best man, it is your duty and obligation to organize the best bachelor party ever. You are also expected to provide your bro with anything he needs for his pleasure; no questions asked. As a best man, you need to understand that your bro is about to turn himself in for a life sentence. It is your duty to make his last few moments of freedom as enjoyable as possible. You are never to speak of any activities that occurred prior to the wedding. You are to take all of your bro’s secrets to your grave. Also, do not forget to confiscate all cell phones at the bachelor party. Your bro will not ask you to do this but you are not to invite his future wife’s brother, male cousins, nephews etc. to the bachelor party. Do not let your bro down and ruin his last moments of freedom.

Code # 9

You must greet your bros appropriately at all times. If you must hug your bro, make sure your chests do not touch. A hug can never come before a handshake. All hugs must be accompanied with a pat on the back. Hugging must last no more than a second; this is not a soccer match. If you develop special handshakes or greetings, stick to that routine always unless you both agree to make a change.

Code # 10

I saved the most important code for last because this is a rule that can never, ever be broken by any man on this earth. Never go after or date your bro’s exes. I do not care if she is Yvonne Nelson or Yvonne Okoro. I do not care if she says it’s okay. I do not care if she shows up at your house in the middle of the night in a bikini. You are not to touch your bro’s exes. If your bro breaks up with his girl, act like you broke up with her too. Also, never go after a girl your bro is already chasing. If you both meet a hot chick, whoever makes the first move gets to keep going after the prize.

All men are to follow these bro codes. Any violation of these codes will earn you an ass-whopping.

Sports39 Matches Unbeaten - Real Madrid & Barcelona Record Runs Compared by joedams(op): 10:59am On Jan 10, 2017
Never have these two teams been quite so dominant. Barcelona's 39-match unbeaten run in 2015-16 was the finest in the history of the Catalan club, but less than a year on, Real Madrid have matched it.

After going down 2-1 at Sevilla in October 2015, Barca did not lose again until defeat to Madrid in the Clasico last April. And even though Real lost their next match, a 2-0 defeat away to Wolfsburg, they have not been beaten since.

Barca's run came in one season, while Madrid's streak has arrived across two campaigns.

In their 39 matches without defeat, Barca won 32 and drew seven. Madrid, meanwhile, have won 30 and drawn nine. The Blaugrana also scored more goals: 122 compared to 112 netted by Los Blancos. Luis Enrique's men conceded fewer, too (23) than Zidane's side (36).

There were 19 clean sheets for Barca in that time compared to Madrid's 14.
