Waxx: Davido- childish...... Wizkid- still a kid.

dbanj, terry g, mocheedah, etc. .. these guys suck big time

All but a few mention
. . . these are the few inspiring ones: Asa (world class), sometimes Psquare, in some cases Lagbaja (he is original and got talent), thinking. . .be right back at ya

Abdul Adam56: I quote:A plane is about 2 crash,they are only 5 people on d plane-MESSI,ALIKO,POPE,JONATHAN AND A STUDENT,nd theres only 4 parashut,MESSI took 1 nd said am the world best,ALIKO DANGOTE said i am the richest of africa,G.JONATHAN took 1 nd said i am the smartest president in d world nd he 2 jump up 2 4rm the plane,so the POPE ND STUDENT remain on the plane nd only 1 parashut remain,the POPE said young gal u can go i wil stay,So the gal replied no theres are 2 parashut ,cos EBELE JONATHAN took my school bag not the parashut.

Buahahaahahahahahahhahaha, very funny dude. Pls permit me to share this.

you are making love to a girl, then she ask 'are you bleeping me? and you respond, no i am tickling you

None among the list. Their poo reputations precedes them all. Nigeria seems to lack men of integrity. Each successive regime makes worst the Nigerian situation. People have lost faith in the central government. I would rather prefer true federalism where each state has greater political autonomy, then would there be a sort of respite to the people. Personally, I dont believe in politicians. They are all liars.

Maleeq: No biggie. Its a known tradition that programmers/developers add "Easter Eggs" to applications.

These are hidden features that don't necessarily add features to the application. But they are kinda cool. Google it out, do you know there are hidden car racing games in lower versions of excel??


There are several reserved keywords in Windows. The restriction isn't a mistake/magic that, as you claim, even Microsoft cant explain. Ofcourse they put it there to avoid conflict. The CON is a DOS reserved keyword that was brought forward into Windows. CON is used to specify the device file used to capture whatever was printed onscreen.


And oh yes, you can create the folder. You have to specify the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path though. Try it:
Open the Command prompt by clicking Start -> Run and typing cmd
Enter: C:\> md \\.\c:\con and press the ENTER key.
Now, Open My Computer and browse through the path where you created CON folder... Surprising.. ?? Yeah.. you have created it successfully

Now, try to delete the folder from My computer. OOPS!!! You cant delete it...

Now, try this in command prompt console

C:\> rd \\.\c:\con

Yeah!! You did it...

Another hoax. They put it there to create "Filler texts" in a document. Not just the numbers (200, 99), try any combination.
Typing =rand(X,Y) (with numbers for X and Y) results in X paragraphs of Y repetitions of the sentence.
For example, =rand(10,10) will produce ten paragraphs, each with ten repetitions. Microsoft has officially described this as a feature and not an Easter egg.
While you are at it, try =rand() and see the "magic"


Wingdings font is all about symbols (characters to symbols), it was developed by Microsoft in 1990 and since then it has been a part of every text editor by Microsoft. Its no magic or hoax, but an amazing coincidence.
The magic is valid, but the flight number is a lie, those are not the flight numbers of the one that hit Twin Towers. The flight numbers were United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines flight 11. These, if shortened, would be UA175 and AA11. Q33N is just an interesting coincidence in notepad.

Neeeeeeeext!

Amazing, how I love this topic. Thanks to the OP for posting the riddle. Very educative and entertaining. I must admit, I have learnt a whole new stuff. This maleeq is an 'egghead', I doff my hat for him. He indeed stole the spotlight from the OP.
I admire them both

ghrrrrr! Tht's serious. You could make a good transformer on my street. On a serious note, I think it's more of an intuitive response. It's possible

meetmeonline: I was given a traditional title by the tribe head.

Shook the governor and got a lot of girl corps members (that never had my time before) to kissing me and wanting to snap with me. That was the first time I actually tested stardom.

Was aired in AIT (2ic) and NTA and the whole Nigeria were calling my parents and my phone suddenly became hotline in those days.

A national newspaper took my story on half centre spread and parents and friends took the papers running to where my parents lived.

The cash....glory....reputation....pride....triumph....lifetime respect from other corps members and your family...the experience and history.........There is just every benefit to doing NYSC projects I did four (4) and became the second most outstanding in the state in my time.




Your project is a very powerful one and can land you a national award if you completed it and succeed in getting the students to reading and this is seen to have drastically boosted their reading culture and general performance. (I have been there before so I can predict correctly)


With my experience in CDS projects, I will advice you started a new building rather than renovating. The earlier carries more weight than the later.


If I can complete a whole (concrete block) building with roofing and painting in just five months, then you too can.

Be ready to ingest a carton of Panadol extra...but common, it is worthwhile...you will never regret it
.







This is what you should do

Write a letter to the State Director.....through.....the HOD CDS.....through.....your Zonal Inspector. The letter should carry a proposal that should carry each project you hope to undertake in this manner

Project 1
Title
Building a room library at idiaraba village to......

Statement of problem (depending on the state's format)

Duration

Budget

Source of funds

How the funds will be used

Every step you intend to take from start to finish Procedures in the NYSC is so official that in this segment you are to even state you will first apply to the very person reading (the State Director)


Project 2

......






You must be ready to wash peoples plates and feed their chicken to be able to accomplish this. Even when they never gave you the money and your parents did, you must share the giving glory equally amongst the chiefs in the community, telling NYSC that one chief (that kept on posting you and never gave a kobo) gave you N50,000


But never lose hope

If the impatient me can do what I did...[size=16pt]YOU TOO CAN [/size]

Very motivating. Thank you bro. I have been thinking of a tangible community project to embark on. I can now leverage on your insight.

jnr prof: And this is his proud younger brother speaking! He ha received quite a number of marriage proposals cos of this achievement lol. for those that know us, I'm the number 3. For those that think i'm famzing, check my profile and you'll see the resemblance

Dude, you are right. Congratulations. Don't be the black ship of the family. I hope you do better than him.

I ve just tweeted. Check again

Urine: Be sincere,if it was a negative story will you say he is your cousin? #JustAsking

;DWhoever wants to associate with failure. Success has myriad of followers. Of course you know it dude.

bini girl: Wow dats great news..at least great things are still happening 2 ppl in d country

Greater things are bound to happen. Credible Nigerians are not petty and can never be held down by our parochial leaders

abdulkayus: Dat is great, imagine a 29 years old PhD student appointed as adviser, hmmmmm can dat be done in nigeria, instead dey will be appointin old cargoes dat wan to die in politics

Mehn, that's quite an achievement. He will make one of the world wonders if he keeps up that color. Congratulations once again to my brother of different parents

Andro Blaze: What state are u guys from with that surname??

Definitely Lagos

In a strange place know your exit, keep a low profile and resist the temptation to be seen as important

Corruption and injustices breed terrorism. Undoing these will set things right

I prefer going medium-skin-fade. I have been on that hair style for a decade now

sashaa: Ponytail, all back, side part

or Corn Row

Sashaa, you are my kind of girl. How I love those hairdo.

ebamma: if u ask a naija guy out,he will be using u to leverage his pride,and will tell other girls who turn him down,that there is a girl who is even asking him out.

stereotypically baseless

. . .

There is nothing wrong in a girl asking a guy out. Why bottle up your feelings becos of stereotype judgement. C'mon, we are in the 21 century. Last I checked, women were still believed to do even better what a man can do well. It does not matter to me who makes the first move. Some people actually believe that a man will under-appreciate the worth of a lady if the lady call the shot. Who says? I don't subscribe to conventional thoughts and the usual group mentality. A man who loves you will love you irrespective of who makes the first move in the relationship. Once you lost him, you lost him for life. So go on girls. . .

Congratulations to Daniel Amund. You are an inspiration to Nigerians

A Nigerian Doctoral Student, DANIEL AMUND has been appointed as an honorary adviser to the UK government on Food Science. This come as goodnews at a time when Nigeria's image is being smeared with Corruptions, bombings, kidnapping and all manner of religious and political vices.

This is goodnews folks. Hope is not lost for Nigerians. Despite the odd, we will still leverage on the true Nigerian spirit.

A London Met PhD student is bound for the halls of Westminster after securing a three-month post to advise the government on food science matters.

Daniel Amund, who studies at the Faculty of Life Sciences, was hand-picked by the Institute of Food Science and Technology in conjunction with the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology for a research fellowship.

The fellowship is offered to just one PhD student, nationally, each year.

Daniel said he is thrilled to have won the fellowship after five years study at London Met and expects it to reveal more career paths in the food science industry.

“This definitely feels great. The most exciting thing is that it allows me to see what else is out there and to test where this can take my career within the field of science,” he said.

“The interview went really well. My application focussed on topics other than my PhD and I think maybe they liked the fact I knew about areas that weren’t related to my research.”

At the beginning of his placement the 29-year-old will be given a research topic and be asked to write a briefing paper for ministers and public policy makers by October.

Daniel completed his undergraduate degree in microbiology at the University of Lagos in Nigeria before transferring to London Met to do a Masters in food science in 2007, and embarking on his PhD on probiotic bacteria in 2010.

^excuse my blunder. I was hasty in tying those words together.
. . .but pack it nicely and beautifully
. . .you can love me or not, I won't change

Pendo89 you have the answer to your query. The secret lies within you. The key word is SIMPLICITY

kolexy: @Tropilo, you must be of my generation.

Those movies are 90s and 20s, when men were no longer men

Azuist: Swat

The gods must be crazy

Oh yeah! Dude you got it. The movie is one of my all time favourites. I wish there could be a remake.

007 bond Movies - Sean Connery
Rambo (1st - 3rd Blood) - Sylvester Stallone
Commando - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Missing in Action, The Delta Force, Code of Silence - Chuck Norris
Clash of the Titans - Harry Hamlin

Billyonaire: What does that "Honorable" in their name signify ?

The honourable is a sarcasm of what they truly are

Nollywoodlove: You are such a terrific/pathological liar!!!!
I searched the trailer and it was a good trailer. I'm looking forward to the movie.


To prove you are a liar, you should have given us the link the your so called 'trailer'.....

@everyone....this is the link to the movie trailer:

What do you guys think?

Very comical jor. sadyeek was right

I wonder why Nigerian Legislators are tagged 'honourable' members, when these people are actually doing dishonourable things. I pray this country is not doomed cos people who suppose to be as 'checks' to the tendencies of the Executive are the rogues in disguise representing the people.
