FamilyRe: An Arranged Marriage: Is It Right? by kinglarry(m): 6:26pm On Jun 27, 2006
I as a person didn't support the idea, but if we view it from this angle "the rate of divorce is far higher in western world where you are free to choose your partner than in a place like Indian where there marriages are arranged. I have an Indian female freind, when she came to Nigeria,we talked a lot about this marriage and she told me that" love start and grows as you stay with your partner" i.e the love may not be there initially, though she reasoned with all my counter argument about this, she told me that "apart from the culture stuff of arraged marriage that they (indians) are still faithful and loyal to there spouse than the western world.

Jokes EtcDo It Again, Dad! by kinglarry(op): 2:49pm On Jun 23, 2006
My husband and I had just finished tucking our four young ones
into bed one evening when we heard sobbing coming from
three-year-old Eric's room.

Rushing to his side, we found him crying hysterically. He had
accidentally swallowed a penny and was sure he was going to
die. No amount of talking could change his mind.

Desperate to calm him, my husband palmed a penny that he
happened to have in his pocket and pretended to pull it from
Eric's ear.Eric was delighted.

In a flash, he snatched it from my husband's hand, swallowed it
and demanded cheerfully, "Do it again, Dad!"

SportsToo Hot To Handle! Heat Win First Title by kinglarry(op): 11:59am On Jun 23, 2006
DALLAS - Dwyane Wade had 36 points and 10 rebounds in the teeth of a hostile Dallas crowd, capping his magnificent playoffs by leading Miami past the Mavericks 95-92 Tuesday as the Heat roared back from a two-game deficit to win their first NBA championship in six games.

ADVERTISEMENT

Just as Shaquille O'Neal and coach Pat Riley predicted nine years apart, there will be a parade in South Florida.

Wade will lead it.

The man they call "Flash" cemented his superstardom with a dominant four-game performance capped by four pressure-packed, final-minute free throws in the same building where Miami lost the first two games of the finals.

Where there's a Wade, there's a will. His grace added a fifth ring to Riley's finger — third-most among NBA coaches — and a fourth to O'Neal's big hand.

"The great Pat Riley told us we were going to win today," O'Neal said after celebrating on the court with his family.

Dirk Nowitzki had 29 points and 15 rebounds for the Mavs, but Dallas couldn't manage the last basket it needed to topple Wade's tenacity.

The Heat finished their franchise's 18th season with one of the league's greatest rallies in a finals, and the final period of Game 6 was appropriately gritty.

Miami nursed a narrow lead, taking an 89-85 lead with 2:36 left on two jumpers by James Posey. Jerry Stackhouse cut the lead to a point with a 3-pointer in his first game back from suspension, but after Udonis Haslem and Josh Howard traded jumpers, Wade hit two free throws with 26 seconds left.

Erick Dampier then fumbled a pass on Dallas' next possession, and Wade fought to get the loose ball. He hit two more free throws with 17.7 seconds to play, but after Howard hit a pair, Wade missed two with 10.3 seconds left.

But Jason Terry missed a 3-pointer, and Wade flung the ball skyward as time ran out.

Miami hung on to the clincher in front of more than 20,000 Dallas fans still furious at every NBA official and commissioner David Stern for the Mavs' three losses in Miami last week. Owner Mark Cuban stoked the furor with his antics after Game 5, which resulted in a $250,000 (euro199,270) fine earlier Tuesday.

But while the Mavs worried about every perceived slight, the Heat focused on fulfilling the promises of Riley and O'Neal. The veteran coach promised a championship 11 years ago before his first stint on the Miami bench, while Shaq also guaranteed a trophy when the Los Angeles Lakers traded him to South Beach two summers ago.

SportsRonaldo Beats World Cup Scoring Record by kinglarry(op): 10:56am On Jun 23, 2006
Ronaldo equals beats scoring record <<updated by mod>>

Brazil striker Ronaldo has joined Gerd Muller as the joint-leading goalscorer in FIFA World Cup finals history. The 29-year-old struck twice in his team's 4-1 victory over Japan to take his tally to 14, equalling the total that German legend Muller achieved during the 1970 and 1974 tournaments.
Ronaldo, the adidas Golden Shoe winner at Korea/Japan 2002, went into the match in Dortmund level with compatriot Pele on 12 goals. His first goal of the night, a header just before the interval, brought him level with Frenchman Just Fontaine, who scored 13 goals in the 1958 finals. Ronaldo then hit a stunning effort on 81 minutes to draw level with Muller.

Reflecting on his achievement after the match, Ronaldo said: "I'm happy to equalled the record. Scoring goals is always something I try to do on the field. It's a thrilling achievement for me and a very happy day. I hope that it's not the end of my scoring at this World Cup."

This is Ronaldo's fourth FIFA World Cup. Although a member of his country's victorious squad at USA 94, the then 17-year-old did not see any playing time as Brazil won their fourth title. Four years later, at France 98, he was the Seleção's four-goal leading marksman as they reached the Final, before finding the target eight times during the 2002 competition.

Ronaldo will have the chance to break Muller's long-standing record when Brazil meet Ghana in the Round of 16 in Dortmund on 27 June.

Music/RadioAll About R. Kelly by kinglarry(op): 9:21pm On Jun 19, 2006
Robert Sylvester Kelly (born January 8, 1967 in Chicago, Illinois), who goes by the stage name of R. Kelly, is an American R&B singer-songwriter and record producer who first burst out of the music scene as the founder and lead singer of Public Announcement and later became the most successful male artist of the 1990s. Kelly is renowned for hits such as "Bump & Grind" (1994), "I Believe I Can Fly" (1996), "Ignition (Remix)" (2003) and his mini-opera "Trapped In The Closet" (2006). He is also notable for a current case against him that has him up for charges of child pornography after allegedly performing sex acts on an underage girl in a tape.



Biography

Early life
Born in Chicago's Southside Projects as the eldest of four children born to Joanne Kelly, his father has remained unknown. As a teenager, Kelly used his love for basketball and music to get away from the grimy streets he was living in. While in high school, Kelly began participating in talent shows and was told by one of his music teachers that he was going to be a star at singing. Upon graduating, however, Kelly allegedly tried to make ends meet by being a stripper. When that failed, he decided to follow his dream of singing, first performing in Chicago's train stations and in other areas of the street by piano.


Early career
In 1989, Kelly formed the group MGM and the next year, released his first single "Why You Wanna Play Me" with the group on Tavdash Records. His manager at the time, David Hyatt, introduced him to Wayne Williams at Jive Records. Sometime around 1991 he met Barry Hankerson. Hankerson became his full time manager after David Hyatt was sentenced to life in prison for running a large midwest drug ring. In late 1991 Kelly was introduced to Aaliyah, and his then group Public Announcement recorded much of what would be "Born Into the '90s" at a recording studio Kelly leased. Within a few months, songs like "She's Got that Vibe", "Slow Dance", "Dedicated", and "Honey Love" would be the featured songs in Born Into the '90s, which was released several days after Kelly's 25th birthday in January 1992. A huge R&B success, the album would yield the featured songs as the hits and would eventually go Platinum selling over a million copies.


12 Play and Aaliyah
By 1993, Kelly had left the group to forge a solo career released his solo debut, 12 Play. The album yielded the top 40 singles, "Sex Me (Pt. 1)", the #1 hit, "Bump & Grind", and "Your Body's Callin'". In 1994, he had completed singer Aaliyah's debut album, Age Ain't Nothing But A Number. Released that summer, the album eventually went platinum on the strength of singles like "Back and Forth" and "At Your Best".

Kelly and Aaliyah illegally married in 1994; Aaliyah was only 15 but claimed to be 18 on the marriage papers. Vibe magazine revealed their marriage in 1995, and the two quickly and quietly annulled their union. Aaliyah also ended her professional partnership with Kelly at that time, going on to a hugely successful career that came to a tragic end when she died in a plane crash on August 25, 2001. Allegations of dalliances with underage girls would come back to haunt Kelly nearly ten years later, but at the time, rumors of the marriage were brushed off with denials.


R. Kelly: the Singer, songwriter and producer
After his brush with controversy, Kelly returned to the studio to record his third album (his second solo effort). He released his self-titled album in 1995, which was a big success like its predecessor, selling over 5 million copies and spawning hit singles such as "You Remind Me of Something", "I Can't Sleep (Baby If I)" and his collaboration with legendary R&B singer Ronald Isley of the famed Isley Brothers, "Down Low". The album was hailed by some as the singer's most mature record. Before then, people had perceived Kelly to be a sexual deviant because of the lyrics on 12 Play.

In 1995, Kelly found his huge success as a songwriter penning hits for R&B group Changing Faces and pop and R&B music stars Janet Jackson (producing the remix for Jackson's 1994 smash, "Any Time, Any Place"wink and Michael Jackson (penning and co-producing the single, "You Are Not Alone" for Jackson's HIStory album in 1995). The latter single became the first in music history to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100 at #1. SABAM, Belgian right society however confirmed that the tune of the song was originally composed in 1993 by Eddy & Danny Van Passel, veteran Belgian songwriters, producers and music publishers. This was brought to the respective courts' attention in the United States in 2005 but has yet to be proven.


"I Believe I Can Fly", R., "Sparkle", TP-2.Com
In 1996, Kelly would release his most successful single up to that time with the theme song from the Michael Jordan movie, Space Jam - "I Believe I Can Fly". The inspirational song became a #2 single and helped Kelly win three Grammy Awards including Best R&B Song. He was also nominated in the Song of the Year and Record of the Year categories for that particular song. Kelly took two years off from music until coming back with the ambitious double concept album, R. in 1998. That album featured a hit duet with pop superstar Céline Dion titled "I'm Your Angel", which became Kelly's second #1 single on the Billboard pop singles chart. Other hits included "When A Woman's Fed Up" and "If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time". R. would become Kelly's biggest-selling album in the US, selling over 8 million copies there.

During the same year as he was about to release the R. album, Kelly also found time to produce, write and arrange album for the debut artist of his Rockland imprint. R&B singer Sparkle had a massive hit atop the R&B charts for 6 weeks with the track "Be Careful", a duet with Kelly himself about the tribulations of a broken marriage, much in the vein of his own "When a Woman's Fed Up". Despite the hit, Sparkle's career never got going and the singer called it quits with Kelly, returning two years later on Motown with a tepid effort, no longer promoted by Kelly. Sparkle would later return to the spotlight speaking against Kelly during his court case for child pornography, claiming the girl in the video was her niece.

In 2000, Kelly returned with TP-2.com, which was promoted as a sequel to his 1993 classic album Twelve Play. The biggest singles weren't based on his sexual prowess - "I Wish" was dedicated to the people Kelly adored who had died, and "Fiesta" (whose remix version featured acclaimed rapper Jay-Z) was about partying. Only the third single, "Feelin' On Your Booty", showcased what the majority of the album demonstrated.


The Best of Both Worlds at the worst of bad times
After being noted for singing hooks on hip-hop tunes by The Notorious B.I.G., Nas, Puff Daddy and Jay-Z, there were talks that his collaborations with the latter rapper led to what was supposed to be a history-making project as the rapper and the singer teamed up to record an album together. Released in 2002, The Best of Both Worlds debuted at #2 on the Billboard pop albums chart, but no music videos were shot for the album. Commercially, the album was a disappointment for both R. Kelly himself and for Jay-Z, who didn't want to be associated with the singer during his child pornography trial.


Sexual allegations

R. Kelly in the police mugshotAllegations of Kelly's sexual activity with underage girls go as far back as 1991, when several girls claimed to have had sex with him. In 1994, rumours surfaced that Kelly had married fellow singer Aaliyah, which both singers had denied in the past.

However, none of the prior reports reached the level of publicity that followed the release of a video tape in February 2002 that allegedly showed Kelly and a 14-year-old daughter of an associate, and niece of a former Kelly protege, engaging in sex. The tape, released by an unknown source, was sent to the Chicago Sun Times, the newspaper that broke the story. While witnesses have identified Kelly and the girl, the alleged girl and her parents have denied that she is the person shown on the tape.

Bootleg copies of the tape became widely available on the black market and over file sharing networks. The tape showed numerous sex acts, including the girl being urinated on. In June 2002, Kelly was indicted in Chicago for 72 counts of soliciting a minor for child pornography, seven counts of videotaping the acts, and seven counts of producing child pornography. These charges came after viewing the tapes showed that there was no actual sexual intercourse involved. Currently, Kelly still faces fourteen of the charges. In addition to those charges, Kelly was further indicted in Florida in January 2003 on twelve counts of possession of child pornography. However, the charges were dropped after the search that led to the indictment was ruled illegal. In 2004, allegations emerged that among Kelly's tapes was one including gospel singer Deleon Richards, the wife of New York Yankees baseball player Gary Sheffield.

According to E! Online, there have been several other lawsuits against R. Kelly. One was from a female dancer who claimed invasion of privacy alleging secret taping of her private acts with him and allowing distribution of copies without her consent. Two other sex suits by underage girls were settled and he denied any relationship with either of them. Another woman sued him claiming he seduced her at age 16, got her pregnant, and forced her to get an abortion.

During the pornography controversy, Kelly's problems carried over into his own family. His wife, Andrea, sought a restraining order against him on September 2, 2005 claiming he physically and verbally attacked her on two occasions but rescinded her request on September 26. Andrea had been a backup dancer before they married and is the mother of his son and two daughters. [1] Recently in his sex trial, it's been announced that the sex tape that allegedly shows Kelly and an underage girl, will be given a public showing in court. A trial date still has not been set.


Chocolate Factory and Happy People/U Saved Me
Despite the controversies, Kelly moved on with his career releasing his first album since the allegations came up with Chocolate Factory in 2003. The album became a big success yielding the number two hit remix of "Ignition" and the top 10 single, "Step In the Name Of Love" as well as the top 20 single, "Snake." Despite the controversy, Kelly's success had continued not only with his own project but also with now-defunct boy band B2K when he produced the #1 hit "Bump, Bump, Bump" for the now-defunct boy band B2K. He nearly produced an entire album by frequent collaborators The Isley Brothers, titled Body Kiss, which became the group's first album in their career to debut at #1.

In 2004, he released a two-CD set, Happy People/U Saved Me. Happy People showcased sex-free secular dance tracks while U Saved Me was an inspirational album. Due to the album being released as a double CD set, the album sold over three million copies despite the modest chartings of singles "Happy People", "U Saved Me" and "Red Carpet (Pause, Flash)".


Unfinished Business and unfinished controversy
Kelly and Jay-Z released a follow up to the album The Best of Both Worlds in October 2004, Unfinished Business, which included eleven previously unreleased tracks by the duo. It debuted at #1 on the US Billboard albums chart. This release was timed to coincide with The Best Of Both Worlds Tour. The tour was troubled almost from the start with Kelly often showing to concert a couple of hours late. The singer, according to Jay-Z, often complained that the touring lights weren't directed towards him and often left during the middle of sets forcing the rapper to carry on with the set. Another night, Kelly ended a concert in St. Louis early and was later seen serving McDonalds food at the drive-thru. Another night during the concert, Kelly stayed in his tour bus for two hours before finally coming out to perform an uninspired set.

Jay-Z eventually removed R. Kelly halfway through the tour, after R. Kelly accused Jay-Z's entourage of attacking him with Mace or pepper spray. On April 25, 2006, it was confirmed that Jay-Z's childhood friend, Tyran (Ty-Ty) Smith confessed in a Manhattan Criminal Court to pepper-spraying R. Kelly and four of his bodyguards at Madison Square Garden in October 2004. Smith had been charged with assault, but was allowed to plead guilty to disorderly conduct for four days of community service. After the original incident, Jay-Z made Smith an executive of Def Jam Records. A Kelly rep said that Kelly's $16 million lawsuit against Jay-Z and Smith is close to a settlement.


Trapped in the Closet
Kelly, who has sometimes referred to himself on record as the Pied Piper of R&B, had a pop hit in a collaboration with rapper Ja Rule and singer Ashanti titled "Wonderful". He released a new album titled TP-3: Reloaded in August 2005, which heralded back to his classic 12 Play period. In April 2005 Kelly released the long awaited "In The Kitchen", well-known among fans attending his live shows. The song was intended to be the album's lead single and received major radio airplay for a couple of months, but Kelly eventually decided to leave it as a buzz single after the song's failure to top the R&B charts. It was quickly followed up just weeks later with his "Trapped In The Closet" mini-opera, which rapidly climbed, and then quickly fell, the R&B and urban culture charts nationwide.

After the novelty success of the five-chapter song, which Kelly had likened to an audio version of Desperate Housewives prior to its release, Kelly revealed that he was working on parts six through ten of the song. They were released to radio later in the summer, in a similar fashion to how the first five were released, and Kelly promising to tie up some loose ends that the first five left. Another song off the album was a duet with rapper The Game titled "Playas Only", which despite an earlier climb failed to ignite the charts quickly dropping off as fast as it peaked. At the MTV Video Music Awards on August 28, Kelly notably gave a six minute long lip-synched performance of his "Trapped in the Closet" suite, which was given mostly mixed reviews.

Kelly was confirmed to be on a charity single hosted by singer Michael Jackson on the single, "I Have This Dream", which is to paid tribute to Hurricane Katrina victims. There were rumorsas to Kelly's involvement in the song. Several articles stated Kelly was producing the track while other articles said that he's one of the performers. It has yet to be released. Kelly was recently on his own solo tour entitled, "Mr. Show Biz presents: The Light It Up Tour."

Trivia
R. Kelly had the most Billboard Top 40 hits of any male artist during the 1990s with 15.
In 2005 VH1 voted "You Remind Me of Something" by R. Kelly as one of the "Top 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs, Ever".
R. Kelly's "Bump & Grind" stayed at #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart for twelve weeks making it one of the longest-running #1 hits on the chart since the chart's reinstation to Billboard in 1965. It was the longest-running #1 hit in 1994.
In 2003, comedian Dave Chappelle made a music video on his comedy show parodying Kelly's sex scandal. In the video titled "Piss on You," a parody of Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)" with elements from "Feelin' on Yo' Booty," Chappelle depicts Kelly as having a urine and scat fetish. Kelly is shown pouring from a bucket labeled "R. Kelly's Doo Doo Butter" and spraying liquid from a can labeled "R. Kelly's Urine."
In 2002, MADtv also produced a music video parody featuring Aries Spears as Kelly singing of his ability to "get away" with statutory rape. The video, a parody of Kelly's "The World's Greatest," features Kelly flirting with a several teenage girls and preparing to make a sex tape with them.
In 2005, the animated Adult Swim series The Boondocks dedicated an entire episode, "The Trial of R. Kelly", to parodying the singer's alleged crimes.
In 2005, again, MADtv produced a music video parody about his urban opera Trapped in the Closet titling it "Trapped in the Cupboard."
In the South Park episode Trapped in the Closet, R. Kelly appears at Stan's house singing his opus trying to get Tom Cruise to come out of the closet. A returning gag with Kelly is that, like in the song, at any given time Kelly will pull out a gun causing every one to panic. At the end of the episode, instead of coaxing Cruise out of the closet, Kelly joins him and sings "now i'm in the closet."
In 1997, Kelly signed a contract to play professional basketball for the Atlantic City Seagulls of the USBL.

But you owe your mother nothing
FamilyCaught Her Father Sleeping With His Bigbrother's Wife by kinglarry(op): 3:59pm On May 31, 2006
What should be the action of someone who caught his or her father making love to her elder brother's wife. Inform her mother so she can crucify the father and ruin the familly?or let her brother knows so he can disown his wife and hate his father for life?
PoliticsRe: EFCC: A Personal Tool Of President Obasanjo? by kinglarry(m): 12:27pm On May 31, 2006
I have heard many people saying it that Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is the President Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo's dog, that they only clamp down on people who are treat to his government, those who dosen't dance to his tunes and those that can be a stumbling block to his tird term campaign.
What do you Nairalander have to say to this?

Lyrics - A Million Voices

African Chorus throughout song:
-----------------------------------
Ni dyar'izuba, Rizagaruga, Hejuru yadju,
Nduzaricyeza ricyeza.

[ When will the sun rise again?
Who will reveal it us again? ]
-----------------------------------

Rwanda, Rwanda,
Yeah Rwanda, Rwanda.

They said: 'Many are called and few are chosen,'
But I wish some wasn't chosen
for the blood spilling of Rwanda.

They said: 'Meshach Eshach and Abednego,
Drowned in the fire but you never get burned,'
but I wish that I didn't get burned in Rwanda.

They said: 'The man is judged according to his works,'
so tell me Africa, what's your worth?

There's no money, no diamonds, no fortunes
on this planet that can replace Rwanda…

Rwanda Rwanda

Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda

These are the cry of the children

Rwanda Rwanda

Anybody hear my cry?

If America, is the United States of America,
Then why can't Africa, be the United States of Africa?

And if England, is the United Kingdom,
Then why can't Africa unite all the kingdoms
and become United Kingdom of Africa?

Rwanda Rwanda, Rwanda Rwanda
Yeah, yeah.

These are the cries of the children, yeah.

Can anybody out there hear our cries?

Yeah, heavens cry , Jesus cry.

Lord, did you hear us calling you?
Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda,

Lord, did you hear us calling?
Can you do something in Rwanda?

Rwanda Rwanda, Rwanda Rwanda

I'm talkin' 'bout Jesus; talkin' 'bout Rwanda Rwanda Rwanda

Talkin' 'bout … talk'n 'bout , talk'n 'bout , talk'n 'bout,
I wanna play my guitar for Rwanda,
