Well all these dogonturenchi I dont understand but what I know is that I have both i.e V6 and I4 and I can attest to the high performance of v6 anyday. Rev the I4 the same way you rev the v6, your neighbour will label you Apa (spoiler). When I read here that mileage limit of Honda car is 130,000 miles I rushed down to check my own and the v6 is reading a nice 182,412 miles not kilometres. Infact it was Cotonunised from US at 134,111 miles and rated grade A at Berger at that time. Men, grammar apart, even my mechanic is ready to deposit money against the day I will sell it. The car is still riding cool and super quiet. You dont hear the engine working even with the aircon on. If the car is still performing like this at over 180000 miles, I wonder how it was doing at below 50,000miles. Our inhouse specialists can help us by coming down to our level.

Why are people making it sound as if banking is a job and not a career? What is a career? Must you read banking to reach the top in a bank? I can list up to ten Nigerian banks' MDs who read courses that are nothing near banking or related coureses. One of them is was a first class oil engineer. Education is about adaptation. In Nigeria of today, money is not everything, it is the only thing. Money creates passion where none exist hitherto.

What is syntax and what are semantics?. . . . . opps forgot u be enhlish teacher. Am not into english oooo but believe me am so good at auditing and finding faults

The bolded word needs auditing too

I dont still understand why Nigerians always go up in arms defending these mid-eastern religions. The simple question is do they preach in trams, subtrains, buses etc in Europe and Americas or even Far-East? Are we more godly than them?

We only believe in a religion because we are born into it and our forefathers were already converted to it. If China had been conquered by the harbingers of these Isreali/Arab religions, the chinese that constitute 1/4 of the world population would have also seen the so-called light.

Who has gone to heaven and return to report that only people of particular faith are allowed entry. We believe what a religion book says because that book says we should believe it. This is a fallacy of circular argument.

Let each hold on to his/her faith and practise it within the designated areas and not constitute public nuisance.

But during 9/11, there were reports of passengers communicating with people on ground with mobile phones. Infact that was how those on the plane that crashed in Pennyslavania got the wind of what was going on and decided to fight the hijackers. So how come liver turned to bone when it reaches the turn of the toothless oldie?

I may be wrong but i think the first poster is refering to the staff-friendly policies of banks not the staff-friendiliness to customers. So essentially, only bankers should reply

This guy was really monitoring the clip

ogbologbo} 

Not really. I watched the event unfold live and by chance HAD it on pvr. see my posting of that day. When a link was posted to that site on this thread, i followed it and wasn't suprised by what people here and other sites have been saying on Ofu's culpability. That informed my interest in the poster. That clip was a promotion for Richard. Over-edited to achieve a predetermined aim. Loads of things happened before, during and after that were edited out. In the poster's overzealousness, what happened after the incident was placed at the begining.
Why not show how Ofu got into the room, her falling into Tati's vomit and her own pukking on the bed?
Why was how Richard bulldoze his way into the room after Maureen put out the light not shown?
What was his response to Maureen warning to leave the girls alone to rest?
How did Ofu's jean skirt got drawn up not removed as some people are saying?
He started with kissing Ofu on the bed even with the vomit which made me initially grant him the benefit of being drunk too but this was left out.
The kiss stimulated Ofu and she responded and when Maureen was coming into the room with an extra sheet to cover them, he turned to back Ofu and Mau covered both of them with the single sheet (Tati had earlier been covered). It was under the sheet while still backing Ofu and probably thinking that Mau would not see that he streched his hand back to handle her. The room was already darkened since Mau put off the light earlier and viewers had the advantage of infrared camera to see what was going on. It was Ofu's thrashing response that pulled off the sheet and that was when Mau apparently saw what was going on but couldnt decide if it was Ofu's doing or not. AND THIS IS WHERE THE CLIP JUMPED TO AFTER THE INITIAL ABRACADABRA OF PUTTING THE LAST SCENE FIRST.

@Salvage

I didnt blame MNET for the video. The poster put his/her name on it and even changed the username few days ago, so the authorship is not in contention. But the rule is that once you can prove that your copyright is infringed, youtube will take action. Why would it take MNET long to prove copyright of what clearly has its imprint.
[s]MY ANNOYANCE IS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOW SEEN WHAT ONLY A FEW OF US HAD THE PRIVILEDGE OF WATCHING LIVE. TOO MUCH AVAILABILITY LOWER THE PRICE YOU KNOW.[/[/s]

At long last, MNET acting through its subsidiary company - Electronic Media Network Limited has got youtube to withdraw the fingergate video. But why so late?

Just saw this on bigbrother website

While the Housemates play Spinmaster in the Lounge, Richard tells Ofunneka that she kissed him. He brings it up as a joke but it does not go down well with Ofunneka and Tatiana.

You kissed me

Richard tells Ofunneka "You kissed me, you know", to which she replies "Yes, during the evictions." Ofunneka thinks Richard is referring to the pecks the Housemates give one another whenever a Housemate is evicted. Richard presses on, saying "You kissed me on Saturday while we were drunk." Ofunneka does not find this funny.

Get serious

Ofunneka tells Richard that she does not enjoy the joke Richard is playing on her. "Come on, you've got to stop this" she tells him and asks when she kissed him. She mentions that she does not remember anything that happened after their drinking spree last Saturday. Richard tries to explain to her, even going as far as to tell her how the paramedics pulled him away from the ladies.

Ofunneka has had enough of Richard's story and retreats to the toilet to cry. Tatiana gets angry at Richard for saying he kissed Ofunneka.

It's a game

Later, Richard goes up to Ofunneka where she sits on one of the chairs in the Garden and apologises for upsetting her earlier. He says it's only a game and that he was not serious about what he said. Then, he goes to Tatiana and tells her not to be angry with him, "It's only a game" he repeats.

Ndi:
I Still thank God that BB had the decency to send in Paramedics/bouncers when they did, it shows they have the interest of the Housemates at heart and for BB to show the viewers the garden when the scene was about to degenerate,

Even though this topic is overflogged already, I must disagree with you on the above. The scene had already degenerated and actually ended before the camera shifted to the garden. Richard was already out in the lounge sniffing his finger by that time. Camera only showed the garden to allow paramedics to take care of the girls. BB failed bigtime

Did you people watched Richard partial confession to Ofu today and Ofu reaction to it. OMG. I dread what Ofu may do when she hears the full details. She needs to see a psychologist asap.

lawyerchap:
I don't remember ever seeing Ashanti and Victor showering. Does Big Brother show them in the showers at all?

lawyerchap:
Once you watched it once you've seen it all and the Viewer in you is satisfied;subsequently it holds no promise and thus no pleasure.

They showered and BB showed them. Since you have watched others, I suspect Asshy is the one you want to add to the list. Sorry no show. She showers with swimming pants and bra on. Victor showered with the hms on Monday and went beyond Ofu's brief for him to sponge her back dont read meanings, nothing salacious to want to include her thigh which ofu playfully rebuffed and went on to confront the BB during diary session that Victor's touchy-touchy is a set-up and unreal. The moles bathed quietly with others tuesday morning with Asshy being the first out of shower. She was preparing to go to bathroom this morning while others were still busy with the task in the lounge but I have to change channels to see the preview of BBA3

THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED
adapted from (http://www.blogtoplist.com/rss/uncut.html)
It all started with a little fishing…
I watched this scene unfold and I can assure you no one is to blame. They were all drunk, crazy and totally out of it within 30 minutes of the game, It started with Mau throwing chairs and breaking the broom, they tried to control Mau and in their stupor T broke a wine glass, then another glass was broken by R when they were still continuing with the game, then with the next round of shots all hell let lose and we witnessed the most bizarre scenes, they were falling over each other, M hurting herself, her eye was swollen, R trying to put ice on her swollen eye, more drinking, then they were falling over each other again, trying to comfort each other, then they were kissing each other, crying, trying to get the game going but just were too intoxicated to manage, the scenes witnessed were crazy and I couldnt believe my eyes.

R was trying to kiss T and R in his drunken state, carried T to the bedroom, that is when he told her she mustn’t worry and that he knew what he was doing and he wasnt a fool. Tati is lying in bed and you could see she was about to black out so R stumbled out of the room went to the bathroom and fetched the washbowl for her to vomit in, R leaves her to vomit and goes back to the lounge to help O who had been left in a dazed state in the lounge and was crawling on the floor. In the meantime you see T was vomitting like crazy this weird green stuff that went on for ever,

Back in the lounge Mau and R were trying to help Ofu, while he was doing this O was already grabbing R and pulling him towards her, but you could see that she was totally dazed, she had like a strange contorted wild look about her. They manage to get Ofu into the bedroom and in bed, she then starts to vomit and R and M are in and out mopping up the floor, getting fresh bowls for them to vomit, etc.

You then see R still stumbling about ranting on, making vulgar comments, the usual crazy #censored#, nothing unexpected coming out of a drunken man, going from bathroom to lounge to bedroom, making wild comments at Maureen and you could see he was in another planet.

He then gets back in the bedroom stumbles onto the middle of the bed and in his drunken state turns towards Ofu, I dont know if intentionally, then he puts his hand on her lower body, i dont know exactly where his hand was, as there was a sheet over them and she starts wriggling toward him, grabbing him and they start kissing. They seemed to be enjoying it but really we know what drink does to you, you lose all inhibitions, so I dont crucify anyone here. She is then pulling him hard, and he is succumbing to it, after a few seconds he is restless, and I could see him trying to move away from O towards T, but O wouldnt let go she was groping him going wild that is when the sheet came off O and you could see she was wild for Rich. Rich then starts grabbing Tati and O was still pulling R. R starts laughing because i think even in the state he was in he realised what an awkward position he was in. He put his finger inside O's pantie straight into her c.u.n.t. and she opened her legs wide and gyrating her hips to the rythme of R's finger movement. With the camera focused on O's privates and R's hand having lifted her pant up, everything going on was shown clearly. M was in and out the room, quite unsure what to do with the developments, mumbling to herself, that is when the paramedics came in,

R left the room, looking quite dumbfounded, still stumbling about ranting on and throwing things around, making loud crude remarks in the house, the camera then turns to the garden for quite a long time, and when the cameras go back into the house Richard was locked in the diary room and Mau is talking out loud to the viewers.

We all know what alcohol does to you, you lose all inhibitions, the HM’s were still nursing a hangover from the previous night and had hardly eaten anything and were already expected to tackle a task that involved more drinking. They all went overboard, but I really think that we should just be a bit more fair to them all and move on instead of trying to turn this to a terrible crime that was committed.

Glorya:
please what happened to cause such a change of heart in you guys? Please let us know what happened in the BB house.

Without mincing word, Richard fingered Ofu for many minutes after all hms got drunk. Ofu responded to the act very favourably until bouncers/first-aiders were called in.

This is the latest poll result some minutes ago from mnet/bigbrother website

Four remain who will win?

Tatiana 15.1%
Ofunneka 40.7%
Richard 36.5%
Maureen 7.7%

Total Votes : 7981

AND THIS IS WHAT BIG BROTHER THINK OF MAUREEN
Maureen was the only Housemate to come away empty handed from yesterday's testing tasks. But is she headed towards the ultimate prize of $100,000?

Tough Tests

Yesterday Big Brother held a competition to see how long the Housemates could hold their feet in a tub of ice-water. Richard was paired with Ofunneka, who demonstrated an awesome ability to handle the cold. She kept her feet in the water even when all the others had withdrawn and earned her and Richard a Motoralla cellphone each, courtesy of MTN.

The Housemates were then treated to all the meat they could eat drink. They were instructed to make smoothies from piles of offal thoughtfully provided by Big Brother. Tatiana, showing an iron constitution, finished her two smoothies the fastest. Her prize was an awesome 42 inch plasma screen television; the same model as the one in the House.

The Business End

Maureen pulled out early of both challenges. But despite this poor showing, Maureen has proved herself to be as strong a game-player as the others. She has been very good at sowing dissent in the House and breaking up potential alliances. She has also put in a good showing in previous tasks and challenges.

MAUREEN IS DEFINITELY WALKING THE CARPET ON SUNDAY

Why are we blaming ofu for not consoling Mau. Did we send her in as Maureen's caretaker. Each entered the game individually for $100k. Even Mau told Code about her resolve to win which means she expected and would have worked for Code to lose. In any case what has Mau lost that she needed consolation. Was Code her husband? _{She no even allow code to claim bush allowance with his gazunga}. I prefer ofu winning or losing as a housemate not as housemaid or motherhen to some soliloquising kolomental.

Your radio code is 41542. Any further problem let us know.

Men! It works like hell. Thannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnk you so much.

@viperman

Klas, brosgaby has done it oo.
Come and clap for him

Clap for him? Are you kidding? Roll out the drums -- brass band and all in honour of brosgaby.

My appreciation to everyone with a special portion for brosgaby and sultaan

Let us talk football. Having made a brace already, will Kwaku score an hattrick in the Penthouse? After Bertha's eviction next week, Lerato will also be in line of his 'fire'. What do they call 4 goals in a match. This man don try. He wan break record 4/6.

Should we expect a new housemate in BBH - a product of four days and four nights.

But seriously, what is it for Lerato to remove Ofu's sweater from that sovuenier tree and replaced it with Kwaku & Max flags. She even lacked the decency of properly hanging the sweater where she relocated it to. This girl is really wicked. Yet some idiotic south africans still consider her cool and entertaining. Apartheid must have taken its toll on these people psyche. She deserves not just eviction but execution.

search for a white sticker

@sultaan
Thanks for your response. I actually followed your instuctions in your earlier post of 30 June before I made my post. The former owner must have overcleaned the car. I could not find any sticker anywhere in the car. I even checked the booth.
I am still looking out for help pls.

its sick when u think of all the things he said to meryl even if she thur herself at him did he hav to take advantage of her
In fact kwaku should go before bertha

What will Kweku tell his mama if he failed to take the awoof- no expenses attached. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Hail Kweku!

okay question please,
DID MAX HAVE SEX WITH LERATO?

From available evidence, I think they did. Meryl made the allegation first in an answer to KB question. Max also said at the eviction show that they only pulled the stunt in the phouse for media purpose only but at the eviction online chat the following day, he said that he actually put on condom and at the point of entry he changed his mind and he removed the condom which Lerato helped to wrap in tissue paper. Now I dont know whether he was referring to the same occasion or diferrent one but they are contradictory. Remember Kweku also tried to draw Max into admitting that he had sex with L when they were exchanging dreams on Max's last day in the house. Kweku said he 'dreamt' Max humping Lerato and went ahead to demonstrate how the the two of them were doing. He concluded that he quickly forced himself back to sleep because he didnt want to wake up to that reality. Max only laughed and said 'Bad boy. Are you sure that was a dream'.
Max should have done like Ebuka of BBN. Never admit.

@lawyerchap

Lerato has been to the Penthouse four times, but the very first time she's not in the Penthouse, Biggy is broadcasting the goings on in the Penthouse to the other housemates. How come this was never done when Lerato and Max were there?

As usual I came rushing here for your incisive rundown on the BBH. No disappointment. Regarding the brodcast, I thought it was also done in the past on that LCD tv set in the lounge. In fact I used to think that other hms were forced to watch becos Ofu hardly looked interested when she joined others to watch the shows. The now infamous HHP visit was already shown to the hms before maxerato came with their verbal diarrhoea on their discussions with him. From Ofu and Tati conversation this morning, it appeared there was technical hitch in  broadcasting their arrival at the penthouse because both complained of loss of signal though I wonder how Tati knew that since she was on the 'other side'.

What is your take on the impending possible Ofu/Kwaku sojourn in the penthouse for 4 days given their no-love-lost relationship. Wont that be too sufocating for Ofu. A case of sleeping with enemy literally given that there is only one bed in the house and Ofu has never shared bed even with same gender on tv

@Panache

If you don't have the code, you can remove the CD player and post the serial/model number from the back of the CD player to me. I will call a Honda dealer, retrieve the code and post it back on the forum.

On Lagos-Ibadan express road, a Pastor met a team of policemen who, quite naturally, wanted 'something' from him. Since he was not prepared to play their games, they asked for his papers and having combed through everything without any offence with which to nail the 'stubborn' pastor, they now asked him to open the bonnet of his car. A careful scrutiny of the engine number against what was on paper revealed that letter U was written in such a way that it could be mistaken for letter V.

That was all the officer-in-charge needed to shout 'stolen vehicle'! Sensing trouble, even when he knew he committed no offence, the pastor called the OC to say he was a priest to which the officer replied, "Please, leave that pastor thing, in any case, if you are indeed a pastor, then you must have a Bible in your car, bring it."

The Pastor did as was commanded after which the officer now ordered: "Please read Matthew Chapter 5 verses 25 & 26 to me". The incredulous Pastor opened to the recommended passage and read;

"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to a judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. I tell you the truth; you will not get out until you have paid the last penny."

The man of God quietly made an "offering" of "just" N100 to his newly found "preacher".

End of service! "Go in peace and argue no more", said the OC.

@mukina2
this is Ramadan we do not kill o
its for Eid-ul Fitr that a lamb/sheep.cow is slaughtered

There is an error here. Eid-ul Fitr is at the end of ramadan. You mean Eid-ul Kabir? That is when animal is slaughtered and it coincide with Hajj period whhich insha-Allahu will fall in the last 10 days of December this year.

Next time you are announcing good news like this, attach a bottle of HOT drink.

I think we Nigerian men should be given  5 stars in good dress sense. I once worked in an Italian professional service company. The Italian expats whose salaries sound like gsm phone nos would come to work in sneakers, jeans, short sleeve shirts and top it up with ties!!!. There was a day we went to the State House. The MD (an italian) wore check tie on top of check shirt with check blazer [/b]TO MATCH[b] making him look like a graph sheet. I always wonder what happened to the fabled Italian fashion.

STOCKS

Prices of stocks will also be reduced by two decimal places. So a N60 stock now will be equivalent to a 60 kobo stock in August 2008. This will however force companies to do share reconstructions so as to cut the no. of outstanding shares and boost the share prices.

The highest-priced stock in Nigeria in real terms is not even up to $2. But when the re-denomination of stock prices occur and share reconstructions are done, prices will be boosted and will now be equated in real terms in US dollars. This will boost a lot of foreign investment into quoted companies (knowing that share prices can now compete internationally), and there will be a corresponding boost in share prices.

By then, when a stock gets from a re-denominated value of N6 to maybe N20 or N30 (equivalent then to $20 or $30), then investors will really smile because then their investments in Naira terms will have value internationally.

So anyhow you look at it, it will be great times for investors.

I agree with you on all other points which essentially accord with my earlier post Except the portion above. There wont be need for capital reconstruction to cut outstanding shares because the issued share capital of the companies will also reduce by the same proportion. This happened in 1973 when Nigeria converted from Pound to Naira. £1 was exchanged to N2 then.

Also a re-denominated share price will not on its own be a factor for increase in share price. It appears you now juxtapose redenomination with revaluation. The economic and financial fudamentals of a company will determine whether and by how much its price grow or fall. The example of price growing from N6 to N30 means growing from N600 to N3,000 by current denomination even though far-fetched will depend on the company's performance redomination or not.

I think the best way to minimise confusion is to give the new currency another name.

Theoretically, nothing changes in terms of value and exchange rate to foreign currency. It is like we agreed that I give you 5 glasses of water in exchange for your 1 pen but instead now pour the 5 glasses of water into 1 jug still in exchange for that same pen. We are still in the same position. The amount of work you will need to do to earn N100 pre-change is what you will need to earn N1 post-change. Apart from psychological effect of saying $1 exchange for N1.25, in real terms, N1 then will only be able to buy what N125 can buy today.

But I said theoretically, it may not be so. We expect everybody to move prices 2 decimal points to the left. A loaf of bread that cost N150 now should move to N1.50 but what stop the trader from pricing it at N2.00. That already bring in inflation of 33%. We need a lot of re-orientation from our mindset b4 the D-day.
