Phones › Re: Reason We All Say 'Hello' When Answering Phone Calls (Photo) by makizee(m): 9:11pm On Nov 23, 2015
hooged:
No. This is a popular hoax on internet.

Mabel Hubbard was Bell's girlfriend who he later marries on 1877. The telephone was patented in 1876.

Graham Bell actually never used the term "hello" . The first call he made was to his assistant who was in the adjoining room and he said "Come-here. I want to see you."

The word "Hello" actually came from hola which meant to stop and pay attention. Alexander Bell preferred to use Ähoy"as in the ships those days which co-incidentally was misheard by Edison.
+ if her name was Margaret Hello, then it was only natural that what he would have said was Magaret or Maggy, If Bella Adenuga was my Girlfriend (i wished ... cheesy ) , my first words through the phone to her would have naturally being Bella and not Adenuga


Didn't believe it for a second, Another Lesson to these young Folks out there, not everything is true just because you read it on the Internet
Politics › The Silliness Of This “vanity Upon Vanity” Quote by makizee(op): 8:00pm On Nov 23, 2015
The Silliness of this “Vanity upon Vanity” quote


As someone who frequents nairaland, you must have come across this quote like a thousand times, especially when it is a post about someone flaunting what they’ve got and stuff, Well , Here is a Newsflash for you, This whole world is solidly built on “Vanity”. Don’t get me wrong not Vanity going strictly by its dictionary meaning which is really an unnecessary distraction we all just have to deal with, but in the context that most Folks on here have being using it sounds more like broke peeps trying to make themselves feel good
Nobody would choose poverty over wealth. Since death is the ultimate Leveller, Both the rich and the poor would one day die, so would you rather live a life of poverty and frustrations and die an unhappy person or would you rather live a life of wealth filled with happiness, enjoying what the world has to offer. I know every sensible person will choose the latter, Some of you Folks be making it look like being rich is a sin, and poor people are the most compassionate nicest people you would ever meet, Haven’t you met a rich dude who is the nice and always looking to help and some poor Folks who are almost always bitter and angry and holding on to some better life in the hereafter and not being nice or helpful to some fellow poor Folks.
Lastly, it’s sounding to sound like some kind of Justification for being broke by these “Vanity is Vanity Folks” like it’s a mental battle some will have to free themselves from and I fear may encourage you not working hard enough to change your situation.
I am not rich (at least not by the standards I have set for myself) but I will continue to work hard to be able to enjoy what this life has to offer for me and my future, whether it works out is left to be seen, but I know for sure I’ll rather live a good life, with all its vanities than live a poor sad miserable one for lack of resources, and die rich instead of Poor. After all the poor are not exempt from dying.



Sorry Mod, not sure if this is the right section to post this but it was inspired by all these "Vanity upon Vanity" quotes following the deat of Abubakar Audu

IamMissMarvel:
At 64, he should be vibrant chafing around his grand kids not looking like a sicko.
This right here is why we have a problem, why do people always expect others, especially those who don't give a f**k about to act a certain way, conform to some societal standards when all they are is just being different, without people like Charlie and denrele, the world would surely be one boring place, He is living his life, live yours.


NB, he doesn't look 64, VP Osinbajo is 58 and looks way older....
Education › Re: Boarding Schools And Lesbianism by makizee(m): 10:14pm On Nov 18, 2015
Oh well, this is what is called situational homosexuality




even in mixed school, it still happens but not as rampant, most will out grow it when they leave secondary school. sometimes its about exploring their sexuality, learning and experimenting. a case where growing kids are lumped together , there is bound to be such experimentation.

Culture › Some Silly Assumptions Of Some Nairalanders by makizee(op): 6:07pm On Nov 18, 2015
Some silly assumptions of some Nairalanders who just generalize and put every individual in a group forgetting the fact that individuals are just that.....

Straight to the point.

-Every light skinned lady bleaches: I like ladies that are light skinned, dark skinned, in between like caramel, yes..i don’t discriminate, but I have noticed one a thread showing light skinned babes on nairaland, both celebs and not..Nairalanders especially dudes would bash the babe as bleached out …Common guys, There are naturally light skinned and natural sexy mamas out there.
-Every Supporter of The APC is either Hausa/ Fulani, Northerner or Yoruba Muslim (recently): This mostly comes from our brothers in the east (my assumptions)..Again Like really
-Every supporter of PDP and Jonathan is Igbo, Niger deltan etc : During this past election, I knew of an Yoruba Alhaji in my hood that sincerely believed Jonathan was just the right man to continue to lead Nigeria for whatever reasons, I suspect maybe because his business was booming during Jonah’s tenure. And of course my Paddi from Delta who dey curse the very day Jonathan became President.
All Northerners are Muslims: I would blame this on the reading and learning culture of the average young person of today. Really sad! It would be nice to learn more about your country instead of all these celebrity gossips, there are actually a number of States in Northern Nigeria that are majority Christian.
All Igbos and Niger Deltans are Christians: Auchi in Edo sate is a sizeable and thriving Muslim community and yes, there are genuine igbo Muslims and other Niger deltans, I have met quite a few, admittedly not as many Northern Christians though.
Muslims are violent: The media characterization of terrorists as Islamic sect etc. is not helping matters as well as these bastards claiming to be fighting for Islam behalf of Muslims
Once they see a thread like “Drug Smuggler caught at MMA” The suspect must be igbo , especially our NCAN (Name Checkers association of nairaland)


Others wey I no go fit enumerate upon are
1 Virgins will make good wives and they are a myth in today’s Nigeria
2 Our age graded team are all age cheats etc etc etc etc

Feel free to add yours.

CecyAdrian:
Hmmmmm, where do I start 4rm. cry cry cry

All my life, I have always lived wit aunties y because my parents died when I was still a baby. I saw hell 4rm all of them. I have never had a real home to know how it is like. I was always on rotation among them. because of dat I went to 5 secondary schools.

I can relate to what Op and every 1 have shared here and more. Aftr my granddad died I got to know dat it was because of him they even housing me cos they all turned dia backs on me.

Presently I live wit an uncle whose wife is equally a devil's maid.

Am just saving money so I can move out and be in a house I can call mine.


Thank God you didn't succeed in your suicide attempt, i am really sorry for all you and others went through, i cannot begin to imagine the pain and anguish you all must have felt. i have never lived with relatives, i stayed with a family friend during NYSC though, i hardly spent a weekend there, i don run come Lagos, but they were really nice...almost too nice self, like i be one kind celebrity...well a bro from the family once stayed with us too and i grew up in a home where we had people stay with us and i can tell you non of those that stayed with us can ever say they were treated differently. My point is that there are good people in this world too, just that the evil ones makes all of us look bad...be strong

I used to cry to bed every 9t and pray 4 God to just kill me. I av attempted suicide twice.

Dis days I have a little hope 4 tomorrow and pray God ans my prayer soon

Romance › Virginity Vs Personality by makizee(op): 6:38pm On Oct 23, 2015
You all must have heard or read about this lady that got married and presented to her dad a certificate of purity at her wedding reception …good for her I must say but being a good wife and making a marriage work goes way beyond being a virgin with an unbroken hymen( besides the hymen could also be broken in many different non sexual ways so technically, you could be “disvirgined” asexually)….Please do not get me wrong , being a virgin is a virtue but so is being humble, accommodating , reasonable, being a home maker, a dutiful wife and mother and being a good person generally.
There are probably a thousand virgin related threads online i.e nairaland ( as if it is one of humanity biggest problems) There are those for and against and some of us that are really just indifferent….like what the fuss mehn, Relationships are much more than sexuality people.
That you have not had sex before marriage does not guarantee that you are going to be a good wife or mother, non-nagging, neat and wholesome to the family, That you are experienced in the sex department doesn’t guarantee that also but that exactly is the point, Relationships and marriage especially is not about you status of your hymen but the status of your mind, body and soul

Again I have to point this out that even as I am a bit indifferent about virginity in any lady I am interested in, I would like it if I got married to a virgin ( I can teach her things) but I will also be happy if I got married to an equally decent girl that may not be a virgin but connects with me on the levels I hold important, like confidence, intellect, neat with a wonderful sense of humour, doesn’t take herself too seriously and able to take decisions even when I am not there, I can trust her to do good.

Lastly, it is really hypocritical the way society seems to be hammering on female virginity while the boys are free willys, I mean who are the boys having this sex with….mermaids ? If you are a young person that can hold body till marriage, do it my all means and may whatever you believe in help you cuz like p square talk am, e no eazy o..but it is so possible but if like some of us. *cough*cough* you don chop apple…Don’t let your personality be defined by your sexual status. This leads to the question “What else are you bringing into that marriage besides being a virgin or not?” There are things much more important in Life.

There are a lot of Mad Men out there, it is embarrassing that a fully grown man would abuse a child this way, i can't even find an explanation for this, what i will advice is Mothers should be more careful of their daughters , watch over them, educate them, let them know their private parts is really private and no one, absolutely no one should be allowed to touch it, let them trust in you. be their best friend who they can tell everything.

Somebody came to beg for money,
Somebody decided to drop two hundred naira on the floor after receiving a thousand,
Somebody wanted to pick the money,
Somebody said :stop don't pick it
Somebody then decided it was good to burn the money,
And then the money disappered after showing no signs of combustion.


Delusions,paranoia,illiteracy,poverty,and above all, erroneous thought patterns.

Op, I'd like to interview these people myself.can you please give us a detailed address.I don't see any reasons why you should obscure the location if you are really certain about the whole thing.
exactly my thoughts...like is the 200 hundred naira made of brick that it was on the same spot while all these happened....wind couldn't blow it away...that's guessing they decided to burn it because they didn't want to touch it......Africans sha...when will we stop .

Or maybe it's just transfer of aggression. Her bf dumped her or she caught her husband cheating or both undecided
give her a long cold stare, put paper into the printer and leave her office...all without saying a word.



Hopefully she'll feel stupid for the rest of the day

Investment › Starting An Automobile Repair, Service And Diagnostic Centre by makizee(op): 8:44pm On Aug 26, 2015
There is a grate opportunity, actually the opportunity has always being there and with our bad roads and vehicles always breaking down and all...having a modern automobile service and repair centre is not a bad business at all. with the increase in automobile import tariff and the fumbling naira, car imports have reduced so are new and tokunboh car sales...which means people will rather take better care of the ones they have now .


So the opportunity is there and you can make really nice return on investments. i am available for questions and tools and equipment needed for this venture, space is vital...once you can secure a space either leased or your own, it makes things a lot easier and location also matters
