Dharniel:
I jus got out of ban some minutes ago. I got banned by the emotionless antispam bot for quoting some people on this thread. reasons are unknown to me...

that limited my response rate on this thread, but I've forwarded the PQ's to all emails I can...

I wish you guys good luck in your tests.

Ojojo is definitely different from yam balls. I recall the yam ball recipie from secondary school home economics under the topic "food preservation/preventing food wastage". Making yam balls is a way of utilizing the previous day's leftover yam via reheating it, mashing it up, then seasoning to taste with e.g vegetables, minced meat, maggie. . . Finally, the product is rolled up into a ball and dipped in raw egg after which its fried. Enjoy.

Even though i feel Chimamanda's ideology is a bit extreme, her arguments have some validity to it. You have no right to assume that feminism isnt an issue in Nigeria or is only limited to the Northern parts if you've not actually been a victim. And if at all Chimamanda is speaking for the minority, what about that is so offensive to you? Aren't they humans as well? Or dont they have rights as well?

African men (both old and young i've found from experience) flock around and desire the best educated females as wives only to tell you after marriage that your education is only as good as the kitchen door or looking after the kids - if all u need is a home-keeper why not settle for the less educated who have less opportunity cost? Some are even "gracious" enough to suggest opening up a shop for you without considering the fact that not only males have dreams, females do to. Why take away my choice?

Have you ever been broke as a student with no idea of when your next allowance is coming? Do you recall that feeling of helplessness? Now think about living with that feeling for the rest of your life because thats what some women endure in this Nigeria. No allowance besides the general feeding expenditure and a husband conditioning getting you a new phone on your delivery of a male child - believe it or not, this is some people's reality. A life whereby one has to result to stealing from ones husband in order to afford recharge card. . .

I could go on but i'll just sum this up by saying - please keep it down if you dont have a solution to or dont recognise/understand the situation on ground and let those that do (like chimamanda) speak for the masses. Her opinions may be a bit far-fetched right now but they'll at least lay a foundation for more accurate solutions to the problem on ground (as is the case with all theories ever developed).

Oh, i've eaten all kinds of stuff lyk puff-puff nd moi-moi, yam nd moi-moi, indomie with garri. . .

Well, just like any other religious thread, this has its fair share of people who are more concerned with being right(i.e winning an argument) than knowing the truth. If i had come across this thread 2 years ago, i would have been in doubt about this whole tongues issue, but i thank God for my current level of growth which has helped me to understand.

For those who are willing to lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness and receive with meekness the engrafted word which is able to save your souls(James 1:21), i strongly recommend this book "Tongues Beyond The Upper Room" by Kenneth.E.Haggin. All issues and questions raised on this thread have already been treated in it. Get understanding.
Remember; counsel in the heart of a man is like deep water but a man of understanding will draw it out prov 20:5.

dat wasnt on purpose mr selfworth, moreover its not my picture. And is it absolutely impossible for you to correct someone without using abusive words?

It shouldnt be surprising that the fall in the inflation rate isnt evident to the masses as we dont have accurate data to measure these things. All the data used are based on arbitrary estimates which do not give a true and fair view of the economy. Most of these data are manipulated by the government to make them look good.
Take for instance the issue of NNPC not paying money into the federation account for over 20years and various Auditor Generals have occupied that office without voicing out until now.(Since these guys are appointed by the president, they wont want to voice out at the risk of loosing their jobs since the president sef dey collect im own share of the money).
Or the fact that all money's recovered by the EFCC never return to the federation account as it should but to some unknown account!

Omotola's show really sucks. It should be titled 'the fake me'. Why does she speak normally during the personal interviews nd with a false ascent during the rest of the show? Why is the show shot abroad and not in Nigeria? Why are we shown only her and her professional life, no family time. . .

I'll prefer to go with the circumstance surrounding the birth of the child. I was born on xmas day so i av d name biodun, nd by way of english/christian name, i bear christiana(i fink d significance of an english name is justified on the basis of interaction with foreigners). Also, i was born right around the time we moved into our new house so i bear olashile. My mum is from edo state so i bear obehi(@ least wen her pple are around i can belong) nd my dad is yoruba so i have an oriki(arike)(i guess the grand P's were eager 2 kip e whole culture thing intact) nd i av one last name olayemi(i tink my dad named me dat nd he likes calling of by dis name wen he's in a particularly apy mood or wen i've done sth ryt).
