But i dont see people marrying their cousins having hereditary diseases. Yes doctors might say close relations. But cousins? are a bit far apart besides.

There are cultures that happily embrace the practice, even in Nigeria. So what are you guys saying here?

Can you quote me, where i said education means going to school. I would really appreciate that. Thank you.

This is madness !!. He needs to visit the psychiatrist

Well some cultures allow marriages between cousins. People like Hausa's, Arabians and even some Asia countries allow cousins to marry themselves, not to talk of even just mere dating. It is highly encouraged, to keep the love within the family, i suppose.

Well the thing about the issue at stake is, does the culture of [b] goldenoc [/b]allows, having relationships with cousin's?

Well one thing i know for sure is Yoruba's, allow distant cousins this days, but close cousins, are not allowed. If your culture does allow you to marry such a guy, or lady, I would say why not?

If we say it is wrong? we should please state the reason why it is. We shouldn't just merely said, it is wrong and that means it is wrong.

People allowing it aren't barbaric.afterall we all came from the same father and mother. But I can't marry my cousins O Reasons?
Just don't think it is a good idea, apart from the fact that everybody knows everybody, and they would be poke nosing into your marital affairs.

Lol you are funny sha. You expect the guy, to be happy?

Well since he expects you to do something about it. Just play it cool with him. Just be friends.

Inflation , from what i understand is when the market value or purchasing power of money within an economy falls.

Now from that definition, i suppose it is the value of money. Not the value of the denomination in the market.

The alarm normally raised by people, that introducting higher denominations of a specific currency into the market can cause inflation is because people tend to think , that transaction with a higher denomination, that is carrying one, would reduce its visual value and that might also affect its acceptability value.

But what does that have to do with the current cost of basic items that normally control the price of goods and services in a market? Or even the current income of the citizens in that particular economy? I wonder !!

How would you spend more, when your income is fixed? Or even how do you carry more?
I think you even tend to carry less. I guess that is understood now.

The root cause of inflation is an increase in money supply over demand for money. So how does this happen with the introduction of higher denominations?

I leave it to you guys to answer than...

I take that as a prayer. AMEN.

Nigerians want to go to heaven, i suppose.

Hum? Must must you play it hard? Setting boundaries is not playing it hard? It is......................

If he is in love for real, then he deserves the one year evalution by the lady. Any guy that can be patient for that long, must be worth trying out. Dont you agree ladies, especially when your current guy isnt that caring as he is supposed to be?

Someone saved the day. Thank you Chxta.

Point of correction, it might have an owner. That is if there is an individual who has the controlling shares.

But does it matter? Black or White? who cares.

Hum once you are official with a guy, why would you deny him a kiss etc? Are you not sure of him, as in trust etc? Or is it a way to make you more precious to him? Just curious.

Deserving vs Economic Standings. I really do not see the relation between the two.

Do we deserve the seat? Yes or No? Why?

Now the problem here is I think Pinto does not understand what a Permanent Seat on UN security Council mean.

First of all, I would like to extract the word "Security", besides what the security councils definition is.

The United Nations Security Council is the most powerful organ of the United Nations. It is charged with maintaining peace and security between nations.

While other organs of the UN only make recommendations to member governments, the Security Council has the power to make decisions which member governments must carry out under the United Nations Charter.

The decisions of the Council are known as UN Security Council Resolutions.

The question now is, where is economy mentioned in the definition of what it is, in terms of roles and what it entails and the requirements?

Do you know that Nigeria has played a vital role, in bringing peace to many African countries, more than any other country in Africa, in terms of human resources (soldiers who are supposed to be dying for Nigeria only), to the monetary donations, which is something that shouldn't be ignored at all? (If you know any other African country that has sacrified more than Nigeria, in ensuring peace in Africa, do let us know)

If you do not have sufficient knowledge in that sense, i encourage you google on how Nigeria has played a very important role, in bringing peace to the African nation as a whole.


The answer is very obvious, on whether Nigeria deserves a permanent seat or not. If you do not appreciate your countries sacrifies, and sufferings in relation to making sure the African continent becomes peaceful, then I would encourage you renown your citizenship, and stay wherever you are.

Yes Nigeria deserves a permanent seat in the UN security council.

Sit him down, and talk to him gently about your position, and why it wouldnt work out. The approach and the tone you use would make him understand, and sympatise with you. It is a predicament, let him know that .

tcherokee:
Most of your website that are up for review look familiar in one way or the other, that is they do not have a feeling of originality.

Your sites should have a feel of originality and style that is uniquely yours and that is usually what makes you stand out from the rest in the world of web design

Hum? Only 1 of his designs is from a template?www.manifoldventures.com. The rest have 80% probability that they are his original work.

And besides there is nothing wrong with using templates as long as you can customized it to satisfy your client needs. And that is if you clients like it too . Standing out as a professional web designer, probably? But there is nothing like wrong or right. As long as you are good in whatever you choose to do.

thats exactly the point. The bullet is only the cure.

i have fedora core 4 too, on desktop, upgraded via yum from 3. I rarelly use the OS though.

hehehe. No man, I love information technology, but the idea of University education is hard to whole heartedly embrace with passion. And by the way my grades are really good currently.

What I really wished i was studying?. Hum? Something more of the management line, Finance? Business Administration etc.

My parents don't have a say on what i study in the university. Just that its too late to be thinking of changing, I already changed once. From Telecommunication Engineering to Information Systems.And saying i want to change again is not really a good idea.

Maybe you should ask, those that just want the Kpali, what they plan to do after they graduate. That would be more proper. If i am not a guy that looks forward to using my degree to work, why would i go through all the hassles, of trying to get the best of the best, when i know well that that area is not my area of passion?

I would call it "Love at first read"

yes, i would like to see the complete version too.

Seun:
'kpali' (paper degree) certifies that you are able to work under harsh and unfair conditions for years on end. Your ability to get a degree in a Nigerian university, whether you actually learnt anything of value or not, is a good measure of your ability to tolerate employment in a Nigerian workplace!

HAHAHAHA i can stop laughing. Man you are dem funny. hehehe. Certified Suffer heads.

woohoo guys, take it easy. I don't even know where to start or what opinion to support.

@ sage and all other that believe in his opinion. I would say just like kodewrita mentioned that there are still some countries governed by some aspects of the religious belief of that country. Even in Asia just like he mentioned.

The issue here is , Should there be separation?. I think it is for the citizens of that particular state to decide, whether they like the religious governed law or not. Cultures also play an important role in the state laws mind you, and also applied in some countries still. An example is Japan, the act of "hara kiri" (belly cutting, honourable suicide) , which in some countries, if you attempt that, you would go to jail. . How can suicide be honourable, if you asker me. Anyways thats all from me.

All I can shout out is "illiteracy is at it again". And as one of my uncles friend says and I quote "illiteracy is a poisonous disease".

You might wonder what on earth I am talking about. The question is, only the uneducated would do such a thing. All this polygamous conflict, brought about by jealousy, superstitious beliefs etc, is caused by illiteracy.

COME BACK HOME?

As long as you are Nigerian, I believe you have the right to stay anywhere within the borders of Nigeria? Everywhere is home, whether it be the north, the south the east or the west.

Allow me to say that, the segregation mentality is totally wrong.

@ jimmy.

When i first began my voyage into entrepreneur-hood, i used to be scared that i am all alone. As in nobody had my type of mindset, but with time, I discovered there are a lot of guys out there worse than me, who are willing to collude in partnerships, and are well versed in relation to what i always wanted.

The thing is about mixing with the right people. Mixing with people who don't just talk, but you see them active, they are on the pathway to achieving their dreams, they have a planned mission, and they are adhering to it to the later. And fortunately, you see them around you daily. Selling Reload cards, trying to open a mini shop, writing business plans, and trying to defend it etc.

Those kind of people are those that are qualified. You would be surprised at the kind of knowledge and expertise they posses, try talking to one, about your dreams, and you would get what I mean. Anyways all the best in your aspirations, don't give up.

I hope i am not. I said it shouldnt be encouraged in my previous post. But that does not infer that I believe in it soo much. That was applicable to people not in my paradigm, the young entreprenuer wannabes etc. What i was saying is, that they shouldnt take Bill Gates or even Henry Ford as role models, in relations to getting educated vs exploring the possibilities of making it big.

I hope you understand my blabberings now.

Hum, well said, but still what would happen to guys like me who are just after the "Kpali"?? I wonder.

hehehe nice one.

This is serious o. Brother Joftech. What in the world have you said?

By the way, i dont think you really need that degree. . Seems you are doing good. If i had it my way, I wouldnt be after one.

I would like to say that the Nigerian government allocates 100's of millions yearly to Nigerian Universities. The question is where does the money go? Does it reaches the University? Or it stays within the borders of Abuja?

So Investing into the education system isnt really the problem.
