Technology Market / Re: Buy Hp 15-d035dx Laptop - Intel QUAD CORE - 750GB HDD, 4GB Ram =75K by markpenk: 3:37pm On Jan 23, 2015 |
If I wanted to buy it online or elsewhere, I'd have done that. I want to see what you have, not some random picture online. I hope you do understand. You should do that for all your threads. It makes your offers more realistic and believable. docconceptscom: |

Who is this now? Guess you're one of those people who think marriage is the solution to everything. If the time was right, don't you think I would have done that? And even if we were to get married, what's to say that work won't take her out of the state and we'd still have to deal with the distance? All these marriage-marriage people sef. As if that's the solution. Metcoppo: |

Hmm... you've got a point. But for a guy who's already "played the field" before finding this wonderful person, I don't think it would. Sure, the temptation will be there, but because I know what I've got, I'm less likely to mess up. pasqal09: 1 Like |

Good point, but that's not my problem. Like I said earlier, there's no problem with doing things that give me joy. In fact, I'm a firm believer in "measured/timed space" between two people. Helps you catch your breath and recharge, otherwise, you'd just end up "suffocating" each other. So, hobbies, "extracurriculars" and other stuff that a guy needs to live a full life are already taken care of, in my case. Believe me, I've got a list of hobbies/activities after work every day that'll leave you exhausted . So, I'm pretty certain that it's not because I'm bored or anything like that. Zeemoor: |

Romance / How Do You Deal With Overwhelming Loneliness in A Long Distance Relationship? by markpenk: 6:35pm On Jan 04, 2015 |
Before y'all say "don't get in a long distance relationship in the first place", let's be honest, stuff happens. People get transferred, move to a different city, have to be away because of family... and so on. Now it would be easy to just end that relationship if what you had with the person wasnt real. But, when it's the real deal, it can be pretty tough to just let go. Now this is my question: How do you deal with that sometimes overwhelming feeling of loneliness when you're in a long distance relationship? That sh*t can get very real very fast. Please note that all the other options like hanging out with friends, getting busy, staying in touch with each other (talking to each other 2-3 times a day for at least 20 minutes each time) and seeing at least once a month have been explored. Matured and reasonable advice please... preferably from people who have experienced or are in a similar situation/relationship. |

Bro, lovely PC... but you should upload more pics of the PC. And the 85k price tag is pretty steep. If you can reduce it to between 65k-70k, I'll def be interested. Cheers bronks9174: |
Culture / Re: Sleepless Ordeals Of Nigerians.. by markpenk: 10:16pm On Dec 30, 2014 |
Naija my fatherland. In spite of all these, we still love and celebrate this country. If you can survive all these, you will survive anywhere. These "hardships" are the reason naija boys can work three jobs a day in the US, sleep for 3 hours, attend night school and still graduate in the top 20 of their class. It's the reason we're beating everyone right, left and center in school. To buttress this point, a friend went to Aberdeen and was studying with fellow Nigerians late at night when their prof walked into the library. Upon seeing them, he said "let me guess, nigerian students, yes?" And the guys answered in the affirmative. Then he went ahead to tell them that they should relax, party and rest instead of burning the midnight oil. When he left, my guy and his friends just turned to each other, started laughing and said "this one no know as e dey go. If na community contribution or money from pepper and salt dem take send you come hia, you no go talk say make we party". And my friend and his guys? They finished in the top 15 out of a class of over 70 people right behind some of those crazy asians -and these boys had no background in finance like most of the asians did, imagine what would have happened if they did- and had some companies headhunt them on graduation day. The whiteys wey dey party? Most of them no even enter top 30. Go figure. There's no better "training ground" than my country. Naija I hail thee. God Bless Nigeria and PH. 66 Likes 2 Shares |

Congrats bro... More power to your elbow and more grace to crown your efforts.... If you don't mind, I have a quick question for you? How much did it cost to build this including the land and all? You don't have to be specific or give me a ballpark figure. Just a price range will do. This way, people like us can start planning. Cheers man and congrats again. It's not easy. jliusadura: 1 Like |

Interesting... been thinking about this for a while now. Why would I want to get a ph.d? Is it because of my desire for accomplishments, my quest for knowledge in business and leadership or simply because I like the sound/looks of Dr. in front of my name? Hmmm... food for thought. Thanks OP. This has got me thinking more about why I should get a ph.d 4 Likes 1 Share |

@ the bolded, it's interesting the things people so disconnected from the reality of things here would do for some chicken change and "recognition" thrown their way by the present govt. I'm not saying that Jonathan is a bad person. But to say he has strong leadership skills? Ha! That's a joke. These people sha. lalasticlala: 4 Likes |
Politics / Re: Primate Olabayo’s shocking predictions About 2015 General Election by markpenk: 6:53pm On Dec 27, 2014 |
And the first of the many year-end naysayers spouts his rubbish. All these "prophets" with their doom and gloom. There's no coherence in what he's saying at all. First, it's there won't be an election. Next thing, there might be, but it'll be inconclusive. Oh and don't forget the assassinations between "now and january" when january is just a few days away. Why do these people keep making a mockery of themselves? Speculations and prophecies are two entirely different things. Just because you mount a podium an address a congregation doesn't make you a "prophet". You can share your thoughts on events and possible outcomes, that's fine. No one will crucify you. But to drag God into your charade, that's something else. No wonder the scriptures say that there will be many false prophets in the last days 2 Likes 1 Share |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Why We Stopped Buying Nigeria’s Oil, By White House by markpenk: 5:44pm On Dec 27, 2014 |
Bruv... if only. Our leaders' mental lethargy isn't because they lack what it takes, it's just because their bellies are too full. If they had more motivation, we wouldn't be in this mess. There's a saying that a real man always sees the signs. Nothing happens to him suddenly. These guys saw it coming, yet they did nothing. 989900: |
