RoyalBlak007: Photographs from the archives have a special value to them. They often allow us to peer directly into the past and gain some sense of how things really were in a time long before we were born. Some of them are so startling or fascinating that you can’t help but think to yourself "Is this actually real?"
I learned something from your thread for the first time ever - The iconic rock star, Freddie Mercury's original name is Farrokh Balsara from the 1947 Zanzibar picture!
Benita27: Any sensible lady whose biological clock is ticking isn't supposed to be in relationships that isn't heading anywhere, if she wants to get married. This is the mistake these ladies make. You see a 35 years old woman doing boyfriend. Meanwhile, she desperately wants to get married. What's she doing boyfriend for?.
Debeloved87: Tried, but the nightmare that comes with the bumps that surfaced on my cheeks makes me wanna tear out my cheeks out and all am getting is a goatie, like this guy here

I was on his profile for something else on real estate and saw the topic.
sauceandsound: It is not easy to go for months without a facial shave. It felt rough and I looked awful. when I decided that it had reach the desired thickness, I went to get a trim and the outline was crazy. Sincerely, I look so good that you should hide your girlfriends from me.
7. Girls reply your DMs faster
Months of trying to get this hot chick to reply my three heyyy's on instagram but I was getting curved like a David Beckham free kick. They say chasing girls on the gram don't work for guys like me, but guess what I and my new friend (the beard) posed for pictures in front of a clean red Venza at the mall (not mine oh) insert filter and upload. I was getting mad love from everyone. One message pops up, guess who she called baby?
6. You become a crazy photogenic
The stress of taking a picture, trying to find the perfect lighting when your face is smooth like an egg. But with beards everything appears perfect. you can take a selfie while taking a shit and the tissue paper company will pay you for the picture.
5. Popularity takes over
Same day I got my trim, I decided to cause some trouble on my whatsapp. Took a sexy selfie, looking the other direction and all, set up my new profile picture and waited. Next day, more than half the girls on my contact were using my picture to get their boyfriends jealous. Hahahahaha.
4. People respect you
Sometimes when you go to the mall and enter a store knowing you aren't going to get anything. The store attendants know this already and reply you lazily while you are forming interested. But with a beard its different. I was standing in a jewelry store innocently admiring a wrist watch. The manger came out to welcome me and offered me drinks. I was broke, just so you know.
3. A few people think you're unserious
I didn't get the same mad love from everyone, school on the other hand was different. Lecturers look at you with scrutiny and in the exam hall, you get called to sit in front for doing nothing.
2. Most people think you've made it
Everyone assumes you must have crazy money to grow the perfect beard. Immediately I posted the first picture with my beard, friends I haven't spoken to in years started calling, telling me about work problems, school fees etc. I only they know that we are still on same level. They still don't believe when I tell them I am broke.
1. With a good beard comes great things
Everything changes when you have a clean properly groomed beard, you become a celebrity.
ehispapa: you will understand the plight of Kenya and Uganda women when you see their men. Nigerian women are the only people who dont appreciate their men. go to Europe, Asia, part of Africa and American you will understand the demand for Nigerian men
^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ Are you sure that is a VERIFIED Facebook account?
There are many fake Facebook accounts in cyberspace!
As of last year, I counted over 20 fake FB accounts of Senator Oluremi Tinubu that were being used to scam people in some employment scams!
Genevieve Nnaji had up to 40 fake FB accounts as of early 2015. OBJ and Pete Edochie have also been victims of this bloody menace using fake Twitter and FB accounts.
So I don't believe the generalized TRASH that the so-called "Kenyan" girl allegedly posted on Facebook... it could be a fake post!
Ishilove: So you have memories of the 70s? My parents had not even met then.
I know it must have been a huge it because my mum, who isn't a fan of music generally loves Tina Charles. Her songs are one of the earliest in my memory, especially 'I love to love'. That one gives me goose bumps any time
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ @Ishilove
Hi once again...
Yeah... the roaring 70s! The era of Ofege and co, which I earlier posted on this thread.
The economy was OK then - 1976/77. N1=$1 was the approximate exchange rate so people caught on to the latest songs then from Kingsway Stores or some other departments stores then.
People [middle-class] flew with ease to London via Nigeria Airways and/or the iconic British Caledonian Airways like you were going from Lagos to Ukwuani in Delta State!
Its good to know that your mum loved Tina Charles' songs. Her era was within the period when people really sang meaningful topical songs and that is why some 1990s and early 2000s musicians have done remakes of 1960s/1970s songs.
I will post some stimulating 1970s tracks that are not yet posted within the week on this thread as well.
So, you take care of yourself Ishilove and have a splendid week ahead!
Thanks for doing the heavy lifting for us again and keeping Ishilove's thread going. Tina Charles' songs were huge in the late 1970s, but the pressures of everyday living just made me forget her for some years now.
I've been listening to "dance little lady dance" and "I love to love" by Tina Charles for over 4 hours now and they sure bring back good memories of 1976/late 70s.
Both songs were big then in Nigeria and were played on radio and TV right into the 1980s. My father loved both songs along with the songs of Miriam Makeba, Stevie Wonder, Don Williams, Victor Uwaifo [Joromi:1969 release], James Brown... and more.
He would play them in his Volvo while driving and/or at home and I can say that he influenced my love for good, timeless music and that is why I have my collections of some evergreen tracks/vinyl records - and I hope to get more.
Realfitbody: Hello, guys, it's your favorite health blogger Paul Samuel FitnessDoctor
In summary "the higher your IQ the higher the risk of mental health disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia.
Although notable figures with an amazing IQ like Albert Einstein have been known to leave a life devoid of the most serious mental illness, this study claims that there is a link.
The study suggests that highly intelligent people have a significantly increased risk of suffering from a variety of mental disorders.
The study in the journal Science Direct last week says that “those with high intelligence are at significantly greater risk for the examined psychological disorders and physiological diseases.”
The research team found 20 percent of Mensa members, with an IQ of 130 and over, have a diagnosed anxiety disorder, compared to 10 percent of the general public in the U.S.
The research team used a “hyper brain/hyper body theory of integration,” which suggests that people, who have higher cognitive ability tend to react with greater emotional and behavioral response to their environments as compared to others with lower cognitive ability.

Due to their increased level of awareness, individuals with high IQ levels then typically exhibit a hyper-reactive central nervous system.
For example, “a minor insult such as a clothing tag or an unnatural sound may trigger a low level, chronic stress response which then activates a hyper body response,” Dr. Nicole Tetreault, co-author of the study explained to Thriveworks.com.
The study showed that there is a downgrade to having levels of IQ, as the individuals possess “unique intensities and over-excitabilities which can be at once both remarkable and disabling on many levels,” lead author of the study Ruth Karpinski said.
“Our findings are relevant because a significant portion of these individuals is suffering on a daily basis as a result of their unique emotional and physical over-excitabilities. It is important for the scientific community to examine high IQ as being front and center within the system of mechanisms that may be at play in these dysregulations,” she added.

The researchers surveyed 3,715 members of American Mensa, Ltd., a group of people said to share the traits of high intelligence.
Each individual was asked to report their experiences with both diagnosed and suspected mental illnesses, like mood and anxiety disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and also physiological diseases, like food allergies and asthma.
The study then analyzed the data and compared it to the statistical national average for each illness. Researchers found that those with higher levels of IQ had a higher risk of the disorders. While over 10 percent of the U.S. population has a diagnosed anxiety disorder, it was 20 percent for the members of Mensa, explained co-author Audrey Kinase Kolb.
“For these conditions, having a high intelligence is related to having between 2 to 4 times the chance of having a diagnosis compared to the average American,” she said, according to Neurosciencenews.com.
The researchers, however, mentioned in the study that more work "needs to be done to demonstrate causation."
My Thoughts?
I can partially agree with the reason behind the conclusion of an existent link, as most people with extreme intelligence that I know seem to be hyperactive, but I wouldn't conclude that it is due to a mental illness.

dainformant: It's all about packaging. This fruit seller was spotted wearing a suit while carrying out his business in Yola, Adamawa state. Bernard Kaigama, who had an encounter with him - revealed that the well dressed trader packages himself in such manner because he admires the way bankers dress. Below is what Bernard shared on Facebook.
Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them... This man is a fruit seller in Yola Nigeria around roundabout Mai Doki. I asked him, why dress like this? He replied, "anytime I go to the Bank for transaction I do admire the way the bankers dress, so this is my office and since I don't have the hope of being a banker one-day... let me also dress like one. Anytime I dress like this it makes me to also have a sense of importance"
The vexatious terminology called "Nollywood" was FIRST coined by an American Journalist called Matt Steinglass in the New York Times in 2002!
The Nigerian movie industry has been in existence since the 1950s.
For example, Professor Wole Soyinka's movie "Kongi's Harvest" was produced and directed in Nigeria by Nigerians and shown in the cinemas as a celluloid film in 1969 and it received critical acclaim. This is the reason why Prof Soyinka is given the nickname: Kongo!
Please read the post above you that I made to @luvinhubby for a FULLER and interesting response to this topic.

Imprisoning terrorist is ineffective as a means of discouraging their rise. But there is a fundamental principle being dictated by the U S. in Cuba, that is housing terrorists.Terrorist must be killed on the battlefield even if they surrender. Their nests located and all of them wiped out. The reason armies do not kill enemy soldiers they have captured is for later negotiating for release of their own soldier snd rules of war. But terrorists represent no nation or kingdom to negotiate so the point is mute. Terrorists are just hired killers. Some are getting paid 2000 dollars to join. Plus terrorist rape and abuse small children making them into child soldiers.
Solution: Kill them like its no tomorrow and the thrill to kill will die in them. Life is eternal we have become too soft. Think about the loss of life and suffering terrorists cause and how life would better if they did not exist. King Sango would tell his generals to kill them and Terrorists will stop dead. You create special kill units they do excursions, build forts on the border far enough to support each other and tighten the border. Then lay motion detectors camouflaged and mobile and foot patrol. Get local cooperation and alliance with goodwill projects so you run the terrain. Do all this and victory is yours. Theres an abundance of free labor in this poor area.
Ase

^^^^^ ^^^^^ Splendid post!
All that you have said is a final solution, otherwise their plan is to wipe off mankind and our civilizations.
We have shown love to these people but they have refused to accept it, so wiping them off is the best thing to do just as you have said.

nikkypearl: I want to appreciate oga seun for this wonderful forum..my longtime friend lalasticlala..all the mods and fellow nairalander...
I created my last thread basically for three reasons..
.to catch fun
.to encourage fellow ladies to be hardworking and independent. .
.to erase the mentality of tagging every women "olosho" but fortunately for me...the thread turned out to be another golden opportunity. ..
many nairalanders contacted me..but 40% turn out to be prospective clients...I met this particular nairalander on the 18th of this month..we went to his site together at dalemo before sango..the land is just an half plot(60ft×60ft). .but I promised to come up with something nice..just yesterday morning..I sent him these presentation drawings. .he was amazed..and immediately asked for my professional fee..I told him..to my surprise. .he requested for my acct number and 45minutes later..I got an alert (Godwin)...
The most amazing thing is that he deducted just a little out of the amount I requested for..and asked me to go ahead with the working drawings. .. I am so glad..not only becoz of the money..but the fact that something beautiful like diz came up from nairaland...
NOTE... .. he personally asked me to paste the drawing here incase some people might want to incorporate their own ideas before I finish the working drawings. .
thanks to my client. . (smiles) and to all viewers. .looking forward to your beautiful ideas and annoying critism one love....
I'm sure some of you know about Farmcrowdy already. It's a digital agricultural platform where farm sponsors are able to purchase farms and reap rewards of up to 15% in 5-6months after gestation. Their website is www.farmcrowdy.com. I wrote about them sometime ago.
Now, I have come questions or concerns I'd just like to raise.
I had a chat with their representative online regarding the nature of insurance they provide for invested money. According to them, all monies invested are insured by Leadway Insurance, so investors don't lose money. However, the nature of this insurance is not disclosed. I pressed the representative further and all I got in return was that "this has not happened before". On asking how they intend to cover the loss they'll incur if it does happen, I got no response. I couldn't even elicit a response how this insurance mechanism is structured and how they interpret losses, if they do incur one. Is a loss when they fail to make their desired, expected revenue, or when they make only an insufficient percentage?
Responses from the representative were standard copy-paste responses, with some even repeated for the same questions. I find this a great concern.
I don't know if anyone has heard of Theranos (an american bio-tech coy). They came onto the scene making promises which turned out false. But it took the investigative power of a diligent WSJ journalist to out them. Unfortunately, Nigeria is not such a country gifted with tech journalists who go the distance in their investigations, else wouldn't it be nice to have someone on their case?
I'd love to know what you think of this. We need to get the detail of that insurance with Leadway.
GLeesMODEL: VIDEO: Popular Reverend, Father Mbaka Makes Exonerates Tony Nwoye Of Cultism Rumours
Hon. Tony Nwoye has be enmeshed with accusations of been involved in cultism from several quarters in Anambra state ahead of the 18th November election. Following these wide spread allegations, a popular spiritual father from the south east, Rev. Mbaka made some revealing statements. He was also received and prayed for by Man of God Ebube Muonso at his Church at World Youth Gathering programme
As a way to assure his supporters and fans of the determination to justify himself and clear his name, the APC governorship Aspirant Tony Nwoye has released a statement in that regard.
Read Below:
THANK YOU, NDI ABAMBRA
The past weeks have been as exhilarating as it is daunting. The feeling so far generated by our campaign across the length and breadth of the State is, in all honesty, nothing short of a reassurance that our people are indeed seeking for a fresh air of progressive leadership.
I sincerely want to express unreserved appreciation to the Anambra electorates, who have to me become the best examples of an enlightened electorate. The reception across the 326 wards was warm, the expectations high and the resolve total.
I have realised that the sentiments peddled across most media spaces do not mirror the reality of our enormous grassroot support base. This is another reflection of the high moral rectitude and meticulousness of the Anambra voter who is not swayed by devious propaganda.
Yesterday was the last day for campaigns according to the laws guiding this process. As such, I have dismantled all my campaign machineries accordingly. However, it is of utmost importance that I express this appreciation to my supporters and team for the good works thus far.
We have worked and the harvest cannot be any less. As we anticipate the result of our efforts, we must not fail to be actively involved in the all important business of tomorrow.
I therefore urge all my supporters to come out en masse to exercise their franchise. I have avowed to a peaceful process devoid of intimidation and malpractices, and urge my supporters to do same.
We are unwavering in our conviction that victory shall be ours to celebrate.
iamstanc: Former Vice President of Nigeria, Dr Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme is dead. A statement from his family signed by his brother and the traditional ruler of Oko in Anambra State, Igwe Laz Ekwueme said that he died by 10:00pm in a London clinic, Sunday. The statement read: “Ekwueme family regrets to announce the peaceful passing away of their patriarch, the former Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Dr Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme GCON. “The sad event occurred at the London Clinic at 10:00 pm on Sunday 19th November 2017.” Ekwueme had slumped in his Enugu residence, and immediately taken to the Memfys Neurosurgery Hospital Enugu, where he relapsed and went into coma. As soon as he was stabilised in the hospital he was flown to London in an air ambulance last week.
^^^^^ ^^^^^ Is this story true? We need more official information in the mainstream media before believing this.
I want to see Professor Laz Ekwueme make that announcement.
That is how we were lied to years ago that Zik had passed on and yet he lived longer than those who announced his death!
PMB too was reported via hate speech to have died this year... Fast-forward to November 2017, he is still bouncing around and looking more robust and handsome than he was before.
tuoyo21: Fast rising and beautiful Nollywood actress, Nichole Banna has surprised all as she came out to reveal some shocking events of her past life that will leave you dumbfounded. Barely five years after she made her entry into Nollywood, the Computer Science graduate and fast rising actress is a blazer in the Nigerian movie industry. Just last year, she produced her first movie titled “Ichekwu Oku”. The Imo State-born actress has featured in movies like My Calabar Love, The Banker, Roasted Alive and Caro The Shoemaker.
According to the actress, she disclosed that after she attended WOLBI (WORD OF LIFE BIBLE SCHOOL) in Salvation Ministries headed by great man of God Pastor David Ibiyeomie in Portharcourt, Rivers state, she encountered the Holy Spirit and had to withdraw from her dirty past life which includes sleeping with married men for money, smoking, masturbating and other negative practices.
See below what she had to say …..
“Am sharing this testimony because I want to honour the one behind the transformation in my life. I have always been a God fearing girl, my relationship with the Holy Spirit is one that gets stronger by the day. Am grateful for being connected to a great man of God David Ibiyeomie whom through his teachings and books have brought me closer to God. There’s a difference between having a relationship with the Holy Spirit and being religious. Am glad I can boldly say I belong to Jesus Christ because I really fear and try my best to obey all I see in His word with the Help of my Sweet Holy Spirit. Before now I was just that young girl that wanted everything some girls thought are the priorities in life. So back then I dated married men whom will end up loving me so much and doing all I asked,thereby spending less time with their wives. Back then it felt good to be loved and taken care by someone’s husband and it seemed normal.But as God may have it i became born again. Attended WOLBI (WORD OF LIFE BIBLE SCHOOL )in Salvation Ministries. I encountered light and stopped everything that has to do with married men and all they had to offer despite the pressure. I became content with what I have and trust me God didn’t lie when He said that He will provide everything I needed if I seek Him first. Letting go of that completely doesn’t make me a perfect girl because no one is perfect but it felt good to go into a covenant with God,and watch Him fulfil His own part. The transformation didn’t end there cause I still had other things I was doing that doesnt glorify God.I use to smoke and mastubate alot and that made me have less friends and because I didn’t want the dirty habits known publicly.Though After WOLBI I stopped smoking and mastubating for a while, after some time ,i backslided and became worst with the habits.I smoke all the time coupled with the challenges i was going through then.In the midst of this I still loved God,kept praying and asking for mercy especially after each action. Am grateful to God because I know He has healed me completely and this is the proof that am free from that demonic influence because I kept praying and asking for mercy especially after each act. Am grateful to God because I know He has healed me completely and this is the proof that am free from that demonic influence because it was a big battle for me to testify openly. I practiced this secretly because I didn’t want my sister to know about it and especially the public,I didn’t want to mislead my fans because everyone’s grace differs. Please this is to encourage you, nomatter what you are doing don’t let go of God’s hands,keep striving to be better. Again for the ones that still date married men cause of money,please stop because the consequences are generational. Same money you will get if you work hard and be content.

Son of FORMER PDP CHAIRMAN STABBED TO DEATH BY WIFE OVER ALLEGED INFIDELITY TEXT .
According to reports, Bilyamin Muhammed Bello, the son of a former PDP chairman, Haliru Bello, was last night, allegedly, stabbed to the death by his wife, Maryam Sanda, the daughter of embattled former Aso Savings boss, Hajia Maimuna Aliyu.
It was gathered that the attack happened following an allegation of infidelity after she saw a text message on his phone. The deceased was stabbed 3 times in the back; and severally on his private parts, at their home in Maitama, Abuja.
Before this, Maimuna had bit part of his ear off and was treated at a hospital before returning home. He was advised to leave the house but he refused.
After stabbing him, she drove him to the hospital where he died. The couple had a daughter together.
He will be buried today.
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ But then...they are both Muslims and he can marry more than one wife. He ought to have discussed the plan with her even before marriage.
I'm not a Muslim but I have done a lot of studies on comparative religion from around the world.
There must be some other issues involved aside from the so-called infidelity.
The lady could have bipolar disorder or some other mental health challenge because it is so much unlike Muslim women in Northern Nigeria to behave like that!
Its industry appeal. Its a feel good song. Its a club bang. It has street credo.
