Damn i just came across this thread today, why dont this kind of threads make front page. I doff my hat for you sir, this is storytelling at its best. I noticed a major mistake you made earlier in the story, you said the COAS was a retired military man whereas the COAS should be an active Army man but i also noticed later on the character is actually an active military man. I like the story a lot but the other thing i noticed is you making an active duty military (Admiral Ifeoma) the Minister of Defense as opposed to what is obtainable now where politicians or civilians are usually the Ministers of Defense, e.g. Nigeria and US comes to mind but i guess that is why its called fiction. I must confess the buidl in the beginning of the story was awesome, your description of Ketu, Maryland and Ikotun was really fantastic, it is good to find Nigerian writers who can actually make Nigerians connect with their Nigerian environment in fiction, just like the way other novels describe many other cities. It does appeal to the imagination, to be able to describe our own Naija in fiction too. I want to encourage you to continue to do this in subsequent writings you do, mention our institutions for the Defense HQ use Ship House (the real one in Abuja is actually built like a ship), mention military divisions and institutions use the name of government zones like the three arms zone, it really makes a story come alive for the reader and even make the reader want to find out more about such places in real life. All in all I LOVE THIS STORY!!!!!!!! Kudos |

Mustay: First to create a thread with similar topics gets it even though the latter may be more active.Your quote is so very true, both the terrorist and the bullet makers are just silly and some silly people are already jumping on the bandwagon on both sides.

jackbauersballs: I would host all datacentres in Lagos to be honestYes most of the telecoms firms have fibre going from their core network centers to other core centers in different parts of the country. Airtel/Zain even has a particular area in Ondo state, Idanre, because it is hilly they use fibre for txmn connections between the base stations located there. There are other fibre connection providers such as phase3 and 21st century also. |

Soso990240: Many comments here sugest d average nigerian mentality,whch is low.eagles playd according 2 d level of d tahitian team.do u expect ideye to try and dribble casilas or uruguay keeper?NO.d guys missd those chances out of over confidence.i expect a more serious eagles against uruguay and spain,it doesnt mean dat they didnt perform 2day.guys are complainin of strickerz,why nt thank d defence 4 a job well dn.Omeruo stop a goal,and was handd a yellow card..i prefer dat.our boys did well generally.Actually it seems more like a psychological thing if you ask me. Notice how everybody tries to dribble to score including Mba. It is psychological in the sense that they are not confident of scoring except it is an open post with no interference. |

collynzo2: Just learnt that Tahiti scored 20 goals in 5 matches at the Oceania cup, a competition that parades New Zealand and Australia, two world cup teams. Remember New Zealand were the only team to go unbeaten at athe last world cup.Actually Australia is no longer in Oceania they moved and have been accepted to Asia, their last WC qualifier was against japan. 1 Like |

| Politics › Re: Lagos To Support Increasing Population With Fibre-Optic Cables. by kq(m): 10:31pm On May 13, 2013 |
yeboyes: [size=15pt]I know fibre is faster ,i am just trying to confirm if Lagos has ADSL. If Lagos does have direct ADSL ,i will like to know which ADSL vendors offer the service as i have searched the internet and can't find one who does.There is a difference between having fibre optic cable to power GSM towers and having fibre optic cables directly connected to your land line.I use ADSL 24-7 in my country of residence and average 15MB per second so i am looking for any service provider in Nigeria who can match that speed[/size]Bros you talk correct sense abeg. Imagine a thread on broadband penetration in Lagos and people are talking about population control. I am Yoruba and also lived in Lagos, I wonder how the government hopes to do fibre to home as a last mile connection when there is no infrastructure in place to support it. Instead of us just trolling and shouting Eko o ni baje at every opportunity just because a good idea was pronounced, how about we ask the necessary questions. As far as i am aware, xDSL as a means of broadband access in Lagos died a long time ago besides fibre optic access for core network transmission for the major mobile cellular companies is so erratic partly due to many fibre cuts as a result of digging on our roads. So how can we ensure that this does not affect the ordinary citizen who needs it for last mile access. Also repair time for most fibre cuts is long enough due to the necessary permissions needed for digging roads and even tout activity. These are some of the things we should be discussing not how to chase people out of Lagos or population control. I t has not worked in any major city in the world so why would it work in Lagos (I mean population control of foreigners). The only places you can effectively carry out population control is in the rural areas either by killing people off or develop the rural areas so there is no rural-urban migration. 1 Like |
| Islam › Re: How Muslims Can Teach Non-Muslims About Islam by kq(m): 9:14pm On May 03, 2013 |
@deSika so one of your arguments says that because the Prophet's grandpa who was an idolator named his son Abdullah and since Abdullah means servant of Allah and him being an idolator then Allah is an idol. My response: Please try and make some effort to study the Pre-Islamic religious deities of the Arabs. They did not have any idol called Allah as they identified the word Allah with a supreme being. Just as Yorubas who were idolators identified the word Olorun (Olu-orun) as the supreme being does that mean christians or Yorubas who name their kids with the prefix Olu are referring to an idol. Well i guess you know the answer to that. The proper historical context is that Arabs and Jews being descendants of father Abraham at one time or the other identified a supreme being called Yah Weh or Allah but of course somewhere along the line they strayed e.g. The Israelites carving an idol for themselves after being delivered from Egypt. Like i said a proper historical context would have helped you instead of re-hashing the same old story from antagonists of Islam. I really dont know where you got your story from that the Arabs referred to one of their deities as Allah when they had a pantheon of gods just like the greeks. even each family or tribe has or had its own god they dedicated themselves to. So even if one tribe referred to Hubal as Al-ilah does that mean another tribe accepted that? Besides if an Arab christian tells you that God in the Arabic language is Allah can you claim to know the language more than speaker? here is a challenge can you provide the etymology of the word Allah then? 1 Like |

yes KSA is commercial but it will be a huge lie to say he has no lyrical or local content. My question is do you listen to the wordings or lyrics of his songs at all? For example in The Merciful God their is a section where he describes people hanging out at a palmwine joint he goes in to a climax by singing " to mi ni igba kan se kan ko mi ko tun se kan ko ra re ka jo ma mu lo". That is the height of description of a way of life especially the Yorubas and he does it using the Ondo dialect (pardon me if i am wrong about the dialect). Apart from that it is a wrong assumption to say KSA sings praises while Obey does not. They both do Obey has sang praises of Ibadan, Ijesha and Iwo people before, i would say this is an integral part of music in Yoruba where you sing praises of popular people. it is also noticeable in our culture where most palace kings or rich people have an "akigbe" to sing their praises in the days gone by. So if you ask me i would say both had "akigbeism" in their music which was not peculiar to Juju alone it was done by almost all Yoruba musicians, Yusuf Olatunji, Ligali Mukaiba, Haruna Isola and even Fuji musicians like Sikiru Ayinde Barrister included. And as regards to lyrical content please listen to sections of The Merciful God such as "Maajo" where he desribes life as ever continuous despite the horrible and bad circumstances we face. Also listen to Surprise where he sings "Alagemo esi o kosa pa aso esi da o" these are references to the culture and rich language of the Yorubas. Or in another album where he sings " ore ti o si ni oro ni o so o lo o ni si ni hun o ba o so ro kan oro kan si ko o hun bun o ni nkan" In my own opinion i would describe KSA has robust and very broad in his composition with a lean towards including dance beats while Obey is much more mellow with huge references to story telling and icons of the society. We must give KSA credit for keeping both lyrical and local content in his music but also introducing global aesthetics to it. Both in my own opinion are Masters of the arts and i enjoy listening to their music especially Ebenezer Obeys " Eni ri nkan He" Find below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG7SnFmt84c"[/flash] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlBthbDhZ3E"[/flash] 3 Likes |
