symbianDON:
great! however, I was thinking, if you live in a place with some space you could actually rear a few for personal consumption. it will be fun and your mind will be at rest. that's what I plan to do.

I should think about that. My present compound is not that big so I'm worried about smell. But definitely worth thinking about.

BeeBeeOoh:
Then what's the essence arresting him in the 1st place..

To question him. That has been done. How do you people think sef?

wirinet:
You spent so much time typing loads of bullshit. I see you are an intelligent young man, but you are wasting your time and energies on irrelevant and unproductive nonsense.

From my teens to my 30's I also read lots of spiritual books based on eastern philosophies and religions. I bought, read and digested all Lobsang Rampa's seventeen ( or is it eighteen) books. I even read the one he said was written by his cat. I read 2 of Carlos castaneda's books. I practiced astral travelling, meditations, aura reading, psychometry, etc. These " spiritual" activities took so much of my time and energies that my academics began to suffer.
At the end of the day, I achieved what the easterners would call "enlightenment" by asking just one question;
What is the purpose of all these?
I then came to the realization that the purpose of life first of all is survival, then survive to add your energy ( maybe genes, ideas, organic materials, etc) back into the universe, for the universe to continue on its evolutionary journey. I then refocused my life to graduating with good grades, getting a job or starting a business, finding a beautiful woman with whom I can pass my genes, providing for and raising my children with good values that will ensure their survival and helping others as much as I can. I believe I am doing a good job of those goals.

I later learnt that all those spiritual gurus were fake, just like past religious masters. Even thought I now know that losang Rampa was fake, his philosophies still shaped my life.
You can read about the fakery of Carlos Castaneda here - http://www.salon.com/2007/04/12/castaneda/
He even started a cult whereby young vulnerable women cut themselves completely from the world and submit themselves to him. 4 of them is speculated to have committed suicide on hearing of his death.

You seem very confused, I do not know how you can marry the Christian philosophy with the teachings and voodism of Carlos Castaneda. The two are diametrically opposite. How would you use your bible to justify using lizards to see who stole something or shifting your form into a cat?

Life is short and resources are limited, use your time and resources to improve yourself and achieve great things instead of wasting them on spiritual highs ( spiritual activities seems to stimulate centres of the brain that makes people have a feeling of euphoria, just like psychotic drugs)

You know, it's not every day that one gets to read something this sensible around here.

HungerBAD:
It could be something or it could be nothing.

There is nothing sexual about this picture, that gives credence to the fact that they are in any kind of relationship.

Most females here can attest to the fact,that at different times they have taken pictures with their bosses,either at an official function or even at the office.

I will not rush to Judgement on this.

They infer that allegation from the picture.

Priceless200:
Wow! Interesting,.. Just pop the question @ bolded.... Maybe you can share some recipe and pictures, I will like to explore more about Oats, heard it's a very much preferable healthy food... And I like experimenting with foods, I have tried cooking with fresh fruits, Apple, banana, honey etc.. Let's share more. Thank you

Wow, I'm likely to one of these days! Watch out for me.

I like to experiment with different types of food too. Looking forward to more of your food threads. I started making my own meals not too long ago after it became clear to me that most of the restaurants in my local government area had taken counsel to commence the process of killing me gradually.

You’re right about the healthfulness of oats. Sorry, I’m a bit dumb with cameras but hee’s what I put in my morning oats. I add a tablespoon of maple syrup (that stuff is hard to get in Lagos nowadays, so I’m forced to substitute some other syrup) and a tablespoon and half of evaporated whole milk. That completely takes care of the tastelessness. I’m a health conscious eater but I’ve figured out that milk is good for my body type, and I don’t eat this every day. If you have any concerns about whole milk you can use skimmed milk but since that doesn’t deal with the tastelessness as effectively you’d have to use more syrup. (Skimmed milk is not really a good health option too.) Or honey. I don’t use it for my oats but it may be good for you. I think these are better than salt because they provide a better creamy taste. Besides, Nigerians eat too much salt already. Then I throw in either dates (dried) or raisins or raw almonds (peeled) – for something to chew. Plus these three items are superhealthy. I usually take it with either akara, or moi moi, or blackeyed peas, or sautéed peas and mushrooms, or red kidney beans since I like my breakfast to carry me till about four when I eat my second and last meal of the day.

I just read your other thread. I haven’t got round to this “oatmeal” thing yet, but I’ll sure like to try it with vegetable soup sometime. Wish I could get a bag like that one to send to my mom. I guess I should check to those Lebanese shops at Opebi.

@Italics. Tried pineapple before? It's great.

Priceless200:
All my life I have hated Oats, gosh! No taste, until recently, after hearing much about it, and with lots of recommendations, I now kinda love it, but it's tiring having to just prepare it same way everytime, who is in same shoe with me? I want more practical ways of preparing oat dishes (not theories please, show us with pictures, how you did it)...

Well, I could marry you! I'm an oats person. I ate oats this morning. I ate oats yesterday. I eat oats almost every day. I dealt with its tastelessness and tiresomeness long ago. I've learnt to use dates, almonds, raisins, and syrups. I also use cinnamon powder, although that doesn't really enhance the taste; it enhances its flavour and nutritional attributes. Some people use salt to deal with tastelessness and I think that is quite okay, but my real aces are whole milk and syrups. I actually look forward to my oats and akara or oats and moi and moi breakfast nowadays.

symbianDON:
your worries are quite reasonable....nonetheless however you look at it, it's still safer than eating the imported ones.

Well, I'd like to think so too, but antibiotics resistance is already a serious issue in medicine. In a country where government is non-existent in terms of food inspection, I think there is cause to worry. I guess I have to think about giving up chicken. It will be tough since I don't eat beef or goat meat or anything like those, but I'm sure I can figure out something.

dhesire:
Who knows maybe Akeredolu is Tinibu's candidate afterall.

Don't trust politicians.

Lol. Abi.

delishpot:
Nice after look.... But, person come marry her finish, she come born pikin, world people go dey wonder weda she cheat on her husband if the baby go resemble her past self.

He he. I will sue her.

thesicilian:
If them like let them invite a million Archangels to bury him. If he wasn't born again before he died, he's going nowhere. There is no repentance after death.

Yeah. Let's preach it.

klassykute:
61 priest?.. hw many bury Elijah,Moses even JESUS..?

That's how we roll. How else will we be reminded that his mother is rich? Abi how many private jets or mansions did the prophets you mentioned their names have?

I recently decided to stop buying imported frozen poultry because of the issues associated with them. But here's my worry about those live chickens sold in our markets. What if they use antibiotics on them even close to the time they are brought to the market for sale? Do they? Do you know anything about the poultry industry?

Ishilove:
Child gini?

Dude, his last wife was 18 when he married her. That's the legal age of consent.

Let's not be sentimental here. The North is the hotbed of culturally recognised, paedophilia motivated marriages but the case of Sanusi and his youngest wife is not one.

I think he was on about the fact Sanusi's daughter is single despite being a full grown adult, whereas a poor man's daughter would have long been married off.

PaperLace:
My sister, don't try it... I repeat DON'T TRY IT.
If you wanna buy a manual, buy it because you love manual cars. Not for cost or prestige (y'know that accolade that comes with being a female manual driver in Nigeria...lols)

Yes, it helped me be very calculative and focused but in the long run, I ended up with yam leg and a strained waist. I couldn't even bend or flip over in bed...
N.B This wasn't even in Lagos o
#PersonalExperience.

That must have been tough!

prof1990:
In as much as I don't see anything wrong with how she dressed. Freezes comparison with half naked women doesn't make any sense

You don't seem to get his point.

Philpham:
White people and their chronic habit of sounding like a saviour and patronising.
He is here blabbing about serving people n making tough decisions therefore not wanting to change that smelly t-shirt yet he started a social media that has caused millions of people distractions at work place, schools, church , u name it.
What is he serving ? yet his company is one of the highest rated company in tax evasion n fraud. Cracker pls!

No, chief. They're not smelly. He keeps many of the same shirt.

Do you have facts to back that claim? I wonder why you are so angry at him.

Double post.

ireneony:
Just becos the t-shirt is not flashing does not mean it's worth more than my earnings in 8months.

I remember wen i visited italy, i went to the centro in one city like that...let's say i was Window shopping. .so i went going through the price tag...the lowest price tag i saw was 800€.. i saw a baby sock for 1000€..na i open my mouth.
most of the expensive things i saw were not flashy or attractive but they were very expensive.

Those are $10 t-shirts Mark wears.

Joel3:
that means the rice is on subsidy. he should avoid selling it to rice seller as they will re-bag it and sell in higher price.

people appreciate good thing when you see one.

Good point. If they can, set up their own shops and sell one bag only.

StArusi:
Nigeria no end for Lagos. Mark, ur next stop suppose b Nnewi or Aba if u serious abt meeting innovative minds buh I no go talkam before dem label me a tribalist. Stop wherever u like. Quote me and claim ur generational curse.

You don't sound like a very nice person. I doubt these curses are real, but if they are, they'd certainly find their owner, that is, their maker. Anyway, I suggest you change your ways and start living well. On your comment, there are innovative minds all over Nigeria - Nnewi, Aba or Lagos.

1stCitizen:
Please name the bank and what does "financially futuristic" mean

Lol. I was just wondering about that one!

planetx:
Only someone that doesn't know the amount of damage done in a country like the US where almost every Tom dick and harry owns a gun will be advocating that sort of madness in Nigeria. I see people exchanging hot words on the streets of Lagos on a daily basis and you want to put firearms in that equation ? All we need is to empower the police and make them effective, American gun culture is nothing to emulate.

Add to that the fact that we have no effective police to monitor the firearms. Our police don't even know what fingerprints are. If kill someone in street A, all you have to do is to leave street A and you're free. The police will invade street A and arrest anyone they see. And that is it.

booqee:
like my pastor said once..a complete family consist of at least a man and his wife.. Children isn't compulsory but its a good thing tho

Exactly. Children are great to have, beautiful to nurture, but they don't follow marriage automatically. You have to really want them and prepare for them, so they can, at least, have a basic good life. Folks like Beremx will have them because their uncultivated mind thinks everyone must have kids once they're married and can do sex.

Beremx:
So funke akindele told you she doesn't want to have kids?
please don't quote me again because you will be ignored

Show me where I said the lady SAID she doesn't want kids. Apparently, you can't read with comprehension too. Sometimes, you're compelled to wonder why there's such a preponderance of dumb folks around here.

ephi123:
Most of them are on nairaland to beg for birthday likes, so reading and comprehending is not a strong suit unfortunately.

I have to agree. Outside of here, the same mindset sees them fronting their pretty faces. Some of them think their body is a chequebook to manipulate and control the world.

Ada9103:
What generation are you coming from DADDY

Change that to grandpa. Seriously, though, with kids like you who can't digest simple posts or think properly, I fear for the future of this country.

Beremx:
That's your opinion.

It's the objective reality. If someone gets married and decides not to have kids, you, Beremx, have no right to question them. That isn't just my opinion.

landinfo:
Then ur mother should have A.BORTED u....it would have done the world a whole goooood

For your sake, I hope you're a kid.

Beremx:
I am very happy for her. Abeg make she get belle sharp sharp. Can't wait to see her enjoy motherhood.

Marriage isn't all about kids. In fact, marriage isn't about kids. I mean, it's perfectly normal to get married and DECIDE not to have kids.
