@ WokarGwa Yep, I've checked out the proper site(Gutenberg.org just now, and it's great. Literature.org does not have downloads, so I like Gutenberg better!! Thanks and I hope you find the Old Curiosity Shop on there and finish it! Peace. |
I hope she won't be anchoring it in that nightgown - I mean dress . |
aaaaaawwww @ "with strong Naija accent on National TV". Did they really do that? Hmmn, no wonder . If not for that maybe she'll still be in the show. They can be quite racist, you know. (yeah, I said the "R" word ) |
This isn't a life-threatening situation, surely?? Not enuf to start a whole new topic. This happens all the time. Though your case is extra serious . Are you the only female in the mag?? Keep your line abeg, dem go soon tire and leave your line for your prospective employers. |
aah, mohawkchic, I trust you .Thanks for the pix babes, I actually think our ladies have the style factor, from their weaves to their dresses to their shoes - they can hold their own oo. As for the gentlemen(****shrug****) Their own is generally "try your luck" fashion . |
Well you'll have to ask the "fools" that "does" it, not us . |
Respect. And of course it has to be give-and-take. Some men value respect even more than love sef. But there's one other thing of course: friendship. You see how some true friends stay close for decades, even all their lives. If your partner can be your best friend, then that relationship is bound to last. |
After this they'd probably think twice about letting even American Muslims get into the US Army. No one knows his motives up till now. Such senseless killing. But isn't it funny that nine out of ten of these shooters/gunmen all end up being killed before we can get any real answers?? Food for thought. |
Lemme take you to the mooovies shorrr-rrryyyy. . . . ![]() Yeah, very catchy. Nice to have pictures of the flashy cars and skyscrapers instead of the real thing. The movie theatre sef, we no see. Does Sudan even have one ?? Nice try anyway, Mr. Bangs . |
Hmmn. Guys with the good looks abound. The question should be, where are all the responsible, good natured and God-fearing handsome men/boys?? We need to qualify these things . I dey lol ooo. |
No, never. Except for pinching my friend's nice lipstick and then wearing it to her house the next day after she refused to "dash" me . Little little lifting like that. But stealing stealing, ie people's money, phones, clothes etc, lai lai. That one na poverty . |
lol @ aysometin, I feel you about the show getting hotter - maybe their anger about Rachel would have worn off by the weekend and they'll be watching again .Kenny G & co., I think I've stopped blaming Jedward for all the problems on X-Factor; they're just "following their dream". If you had a chance to star on the show, talented or not, wouldn't you take it so long as the public kept you in?? They're twins, and people(teen girls mostly ) seem to be crazy about them. Weirder things have happened !!! |
Gutenburg? Mine is literature.org. I'll check yours out though, thanks and Happy Reading !! |
WokarGwa, sorry you never got to finish the Old Curiousity Shop. I think I've read it twice or thrice. Yes, it does make you cry in some places. I'll try to read the Pickwick Papers one of these days, I hear it's very good. I loved Tom Sawyerr!! And I'm halfway thru' Huckleberry Finn but I can't seem to find the time to finish it for now. There's an online library where I get to read all the classics. I had the hard copy of Curiousity shop, I read it to shreds . Quip was so evil, he deserved to end up the way he did. Make sure you finish it !! |
@WokarGwa, I've read a few. You know there aren't that many of his books. I loved the Old Curiousity Shop, have you read that one? A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol and some more of his major classics. You're right, he gets you laughing unexpectedly as you're reading. I also like Mark Twain. |
Charles Dickens. |
@Mpele, and what do you mean by that?? Any country should be happy that a Nigerian even wants to step foot into their borders - to speak less of the "overweight, corrupt govt officials". |
@semid, thanks for telling me!! Cos a new addiction is exactly what I need right now !!! Those three days I was hooked on PB was wicked !! And that was just three seasons. Trust me, I've got plenty of time to watch all 24's[b] eight [/b]seasons!!So if you don't hear from me for the whole of next week, you know what I'll be up to . |
lol @ kayality you harsh oooo .Nothing can take the place of PB on my number one spot, but I'm amazed I haven't seen one episode of this 24, though I hear it's bloody good. Maybe I should go watch season 1-8 before I drop my verdict. After all I used to think PB wasn't worth my time, until I stumbled on one episode and then ended up watching seasons 1-3 in less than a week!! ![]() |
kaydkay, this is sooo cool. I've read a lot of them already but it's still nice to have them on my PC. You're trying, keep up the good work. |
Blah blah blah . |
I think we should be allowed to bash any country we want (for the SA defender who was complaining). They do it to us all the time. At least we have a cause - considering how many Nigerians have been killed in that country in the past several years due to fear and hatred. I don't give a flipping fish fin whether SA is the tourist haven of Africa, or that it's heaven on earth. Even if I were a govt official I'd cringe from the idea of a visa-free RSA . |
@ sugarcane, i happy as u come enter our lane ![]() i always dey glad when ever I see a new fan ![]() make you feel free abeg to join our clan your poem dey very articulate, like say u be expert e go good if you go become our latest convert thank you for all the good things you talk about me but if not for rotimy, semid, ruud and co, how I for be just make yourself at home, i hope you dey here to stay i no too get time to rhyme as b4, but with this thread i no dey play . |

@thameamead, JLS are so hot, I agree!! They seem to have such good songs, and they get cooler day by day. Even "JedWard"( :PI really don't know who comes up with these things!!) takes lessons from them about dancing and singing - and I heard JLS are rooting for them, being they are a group and under Louis like them. I just don't know what's wrong with X-Factor this year, so fishy, and then poor Rachel being made to look like she had no pull with the public - it's so unfair to leave the show with such a mentality! Half of my Nigerian folk have already vowed never to watch another episode of X-Factor - for this year at least . |
![]() You know what I meant about it being a children's movie - of course it wasn't made for kids per se, but with all the magic and special effects and monsters etc, it would be a movie that would appeal to many a child-like heart . But seriously the movie was good, it just didn't do it for me .And I guess I was right, left to you two, this thread will be all about LOTR. Maybe you should rename the thread: LOTR: The Greatest epic/Fantasy Movie Ever Made !!! LOL. |
iice, wow . Kiera Knightley was fantastic in the movie - at least in the first one. I love the women they use in these movies, especially The Mummy and Van Helsing. Without them there would be no element of reality in the fantasy flicks. That's why to me LOTR will always be a movie for children/children-at-heart because it hardly had any of that man-woman electricity to make it all worthwhile .And Shola2009, it's ok, I think I understand you and iice better now. Video games were made for people like you cos all you two care about is the straightforward action, minus what you all feel is the bullsh*t that the women provide . |
I don't really hate Nigeria per se, I just hate what it has become. And I am disgusted with the people that made it that way. Everyday on TV I see them and how robust and comfortable they appear - while the masses are getting even poorer. If only these nation-killers could be wiped out so that Nigeria can thrive again. |
^^^^No2Atheism, you took the words right outta my mouth !!!iice you've got to be the only female I know who would say that. No females in vampire/action/epic movies? Very rarely does it happen!! Think of Pirates of the Carribean and The Mummy series, and tell me it wasn't the strong, beautiful women that added to the over-all appeal of the flicks . |
iice, what's a vampire movie without a decent female lead to spice things up ?? Anyway there was really not much touchy feely in the movie, trust me. Everything was on the level. Films like the Blade series and Twilight always have a tinge of romance to lighten up the bloodshed .Shola2009, it was obvious from the beginning that all you wanted was to blab about your fave movie, LOTR, and anyone with a contrary view could just stuff it . I mean it was I who first suggested you start a poll, if not I bet this thread woulda been all about you and your beloved LOTR. By the way, apart from the special effects the movie to me was so infantile. |
