Lol... How Much For One Eye.

Rice is the most populous food in this country.

Genesis 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

And He Shall Be Like A Tree Planted By The Rivers Of Water, That Bringeth Forth His Fruit In His Season; His Leaf Also Shall Not Wither; And Whatsoever He Doeth Shall Prosper. Psalm 1: 3.

IT SHOULD BE 993

"Sometimes When I Want To Understand A Person's Movite, I Play A Little Game."

This is good. but i'll like to add a correction- you said those who are not in Christ walks in the flesh alone. The kingdom of darkness raises soldiers as well, giving them spiritual insight and making them a principality and power of the world. Jesus spoke about them in Luke 16; 1-13. These set of people are spiritual as well and they are tools in devil's hand. God Bless

God Bless You for sharing this.

So funny and on point...

wow... splendid, but the world best picture? I doubt.

1) Whats in a Name?

A computer error gave two women in America called Patricia the same social security number. When the two women were brought together in an office to rectify the blunder they discovered that;

* they had both been born with the names Patricia Ann Campbell.
* both of their fathers were called Robert Campbell.
* their birthdays were on 13th March, 1941
* they had both Married military men in the year 1959(within eleven days of each other).
* they each had two children aged 11 and 21
* they both had an interest in oil paints.
* both had studied cosmetics.
* both had worked as a book-keeper

2) Bullet with your Name on it.

In 1893, Henry Ziegland ended a relationship with his girlfriend. Tragically, his girlfriend took the news badly, became distraught and took her own life.
Her distressed brother blamed his sister's death upon Henry, he went round to Henry's house, saw him out in the garden and tried to shoot him.
Luckily, the bullet only grazed Henry's face and embedded itself in a nearby tree.
In 1913, twenty years later, Henry decided to use dynamite to uproot a tree in his garden. The explosion propelled the embedded bullet from the tree straight to Henry Zeigland's head -killing him immediately.

3) Lucky Hughes?

On December 5th, 1660 a ship sank in the straights of Dover - the only survivor was noted to be Hugh Williams.
On 5th December, 1767, another ship sank in the same water -127 lost their lives, the only survivor was noted to be Hugh Williams.
On the 8th of August, 1820, a picnic boat capsized on the Thames -there was only one survivor, Hugh Williams.
On 10th July, 1940, a British trawler was destroyed by a German mine -only two men survived, one man and his nephew - they were both called Hugh Williams.

4) With a Quick Quack here

Mr McDonald was a farmer who lived in Canada -nothing extraordinary in that until you learn that his postcode contained the letter sequence EIEIO.

5) Till Death Did Them Part.

In 1996, Paris police set out to investigate late night, high speed car crash, both drivers were killed instantly.
Investigations revealed that the deceased were in fact man and wife.
Police initially suspected some kind of murder or suicide pact but it became apparent that the pair had been separated for several months -neither could have known that the other would have been out driving that night -it was just a terrible coincidence.

5) She's Behind You.

Micheal had been travelling around UK with his family to track down his daughter Lisa, who he had lost contact with ten years earlier.
After a long fruitless search, he approached the Suffolk Free Press, who agreed to help him by putting an appeal in their newspaper.
Fortunately, his long lost daughter saw the appeal and the pair were reunited. The odd thing was, his daughter had been right behind him when the free paper took the photograph.

7)Licensed to Thrill.

A fifteen year old pupil at Argoed High School in North Wales was to sit his GCSE examinations in 1990. His name is James Bond -his examination number was 007.

What Goes Around.

In 1965, at the age of four, Roger Lausier was swimming off a beach in Salem -he got into difficulties and was saved from drowning by a woman called Alice Blaise.
In 1974, on the same beach, Roger was out in a raft when he pulled a drowning man from the water -amazingly, the man he saved was Alive Blaise's husband.

9) Lightning Never Strikes Twice?

British Calvary officer, Major Summerfield was fighting in the fields of Flanders on the last year of WW1, a flash of lightning knocked him off his horse and paralysed him from his waist down.
He moved to Vancouver, Canada, six years later, whilst out fishing, Major Summerfield wast struck by lightning again and the right side of his body became paralysed.
After two years of recover, it was summer day and he was out in a local park, a summer storm blows up and Major Summerfield was struck by lightning again -permanently paralyzing him
He died two years after the incidence. However, four years after his death, his stone tomb was destroyed -it was struck by lightning!

10) Practise What You Preach.

Business Danie De Toit made a speech to an audience in South Africa - the Topic of his speech was -watch out because death can strike you down at any time.
At the end of his speech, he put a peppermint in his mouth and choke to death on it!

Whether your brother is going to marry her or not is his decision not yours, but I believe your brother should be aware. It is better he knows what happened between the families before the marriage, then he can choose if he can be an in law to the family that almost ruined his family.
Tell him, but don't tell him with the intention of him calling off the wedding, tell him so he can be aware and he can then make his own decision...

Happy birthday to him...

Full Inaugural Address of President MKO Abiola as
Delivered on June 11, 1994 at Epetedo, Lagos
People of Nigeria, exactly one year ago, you turned
out in your millions to vote for me, Chief M.K.O.
Abiola, as the President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria. But politicians in uniform, who call
themselves soldiers but are more devious than any
civilian would want to be, deprived you of your God-
given right to be ruled by the President you had
yourselves elected.
These soldier-politicians introduced into our body
politic, a concept hitherto unknown to our political
lexicography, something strangely called the
“annulment” of an election perceived by all to have
been the fairest, cleanest and most peaceful ever
held in our nation.
Since that abominable act of naked political armed
robbery occurred, I have been constantly urged by
people of goodwill, both in Nigeria and abroad, to put
the matter back into the people’s hands and get
them to actualise the mandate they gave me at the
polls. But mindful of the need to ensure that peace
continues to reign in our fragile federation, I have so
far tried to pursue sweet reason and negotiation.
My hope has always been to arouse whatever
remnants of patriotism are left in the hearts of
these thieves of your mandate, and to persuade
them that they should not allow their personal desire
to rule to usher our beloved country into an era of
political instability and economic ruin.
All I have sought to do, in seeking dialogue with
them, has been to try and get them to realise that
only real democracy can move our nation forward
towards progress, and earn her the respect she
deserves from the international community.
However, although this peaceful approach has
exposed me to severe censure by some who have
mistaken it for weakness on my part, those with
whom I have sought to dialogue have remained like
stones, neither stirred to show loyalty to the
collective decision of the people of their own
country, nor to observe Allah’s injunction that they
should exhibit justice and fair-play in all their
dealings with their fellowmen.
Appeals to their honour as officers and gentlemen of
the gallant Nigerian Armed Forces, have fallen on
deaf ears. Instead, they have resorted to the tactics
of divide and rule, bribery and political perfidy,
misinformation and (vile) propaganda. They arrest
everyone who disagrees with them. Even the 71-
year old hero of our nation, Chief Anthony Enahoro,
was not spared. How much longer can we tolerate
all this? People of Nigeria, you are all witnesses that
I have tried to climb the highest mountain, cross the
deepest river and walk the longest mile, in order to
get these men to obey the will of our people.
There is no humiliation I have not endured, no snare
that has not been put in my path, no “setup” that
has not been designed for me in my endeavour to
use the path of peace to enforce the mandate that
you bestowed on me one year ago. It has been a
long night. But the dawn is here.
Today, people of Nigeria, I join you all in saying,
“Enough is Enough!” We have endured 24 years of
military rule in our 34 years of independence.
Military rule has led to our nation fighting a civil war
with itself. Military rule has destabilised our nation
today as not before in its history. Military rule has
impoverished our people and introduced a dreadful
trade in drugs which has made our country’s name
an anathema in many parts of the world. Even
soccer fans going to watch the Green Eagles display
in America are being made to suffer there
needlessly because Nigeria’s name is linked with
credit card and fraud and “419.” Politically, military
rule has torn to shreds the prestige due to our
country because of its size and population.
The permanent seat at the United Nations Security
Council that should be rightfully ours, is all but lost.
For who will vote for Nigeria to get the seat if
Nigerian military rulers do not respect the votes of
their own people?
Enough of military rule. We are sickened to see
people who have shown little or no personal
achievement, either in building up private
businesses, or making success of any tangible thing,
being placed in charge of the management of our
nation’s economy, by rulers who are not
accountable to anyone.
Enough of square pegs in round holes. We are tired
of then military repetitive tendency to experiment
with our economy: Today, they say “no controls.”
Tomorrow; they say “Full controls”. The day after,
they say “Fine tuning”.
The next day, they say “Devaluation.” A few days
later, they say “Revalue the same naira upwards
again Abi?” All we can see are the consequences of
this permanent game of military “about turns;” high
inflation, a huge budget deficit and an enormous
foreign debt repayment burden, dying industries, high
unemployment and a demoralised populace.
Our youths, in particular, can see no hope on the
horizon, and many can only dream of escaping from
our shores to join the brain drain. Is this the Nigeria
we want? We are plagued also by periodic balance
of payments crises, which have led to a perennial
shortage of essential drugs, that has turned our
hospitals and clinics into mortuaries.
A scarcity of books and equipment has rendered our
schools into desolate deserts of ignorance. Our
factories are crying for machinery, spare parts and
raw materials. But each day that passes, instead of
these economic diseases being cured, they are
rather strengthened as an irrational allocation of
foreign exchange based on favouritism and
corruption becomes the order of the day.
Enough is enough of economic mismanagement!
People of Nigeria, during the election campaign last
year, I presented you with a programme entitled
“HOPE ’93. This programme was aimed precisely at
solving these economic (problems) that have
demoralised us all. I toured every part of Nigeria to
present this programme to you the electorate. I was
questioned on it at public rallies and press
conferences and I had the privilege of incorporating
into it much of the feedback that I obtained from
the people.
Because you knew I would not only listen to you but
deliver superb results from the programme, you
voted for me in your millions and gave me an
overwhelming majority over my opponent. To be
precise, you gave me 58.4 per cent of the popular
vote and a majority in 20 out of 30 states plus the
Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Not only that, you
also enabled me to fulfill the constitutional
requirement that the winner should obtain one-third
of the votes in two-thirds of the states.
I am sure that when you cast an eye on the
moribund state of Nigeria today, you ask yourselves:
“What have we done to deserve this, when we have
a president- elect who can lead a government that
can change things for the better? Our patience has
come to an end.
As of now, from this moment, a new Government of
National Unity is in power throughout the length and
breadth of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, led by
me, Bashorun M.K.O. Abiola, as President and
Commander-in-Chief. The National Assembly is
hereby reconvened. All dismissed governors are
reinstated.
The State Assemblies are reconstituted, as are all
local government councils. I urge them to adopt a bi-
partisan approach to all the issues that come before
them. At the national level, a bi-partisan approach
will be our guiding principle. I call upon the usurper,
General Sani Abacha, to announce his resignation
forthwith, together with the rest of his illegal ruling
council. We are prepared to enter into negotiations
with them to work out the mechanics for a smooth
transfer of power.
I pledge that if they hand over quietly, they will be
retired with all their entitlements, and their positions
will be accorded all the respect due to them. For
our objective is neither recrimination nor witch-
hunting, but an enforcement of the will of the
Nigerian people, as expressed in free elections
conducted by the duly constituted authority of the
time.
I hereby invoke the mandate bestowed upon me by
my victory in the said election, to call on all
members of the Armed Forces and the Police, the
Civil and Public Services throughout the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, to obey only the Government of
National Unity that is headed by me, your only
elected President.
My Government of National Unity is the only
legitimate, constituted authority in the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, as of now. People of Nigeria,
these are challenging times in the history of our
continent, Africa, and we in Nigeria must not allow
ourselves to be left behind. Our struggle is the same
as that waged by the people of South Africa, which
has been successfully concluded, with the
inauguration of Mr. Nelson Mandela as the first
African President of that country.
Nelson Mandela fought to replace MINORITY rule
with MAJORITY rule. We in Nigeria are also fighting
to replace MINORITY rule, for we are ruled by only a
tiny section of our armed forces. Like the South
Africans, we want MAJORITY rule today, that is rule
only by those chosen by all the people of Nigeria as
a whole in free and fair elections.
The only difference between South Africa and
Nigeria is that those who imposed minority rule on
the majority rule whether it is by black or white,
remains minority rule, and must be booted out. I call
on you, heroic people of Nigeria, to emulate the
actions of your brothers and sisters in South Africa
and stand up as one person to throw away the yoke
of minority rule for ever.
The antics of every minority that oppresses the
majority are always the same. They will try to
intimidate you with threats of police action. But do
not let us fear arrest. In South Africa, so many
people were arrested, during the campaign against
the Pass Laws, for instance, that the jails could not
hold all of them. Today, apartheid is gone forever.
So, let it be with Nigeria. Let us say goodbye forever
to minority rule by the military. They talk of treason.
But haven’t they heard of the Rivonia treason trial in
South Africa? Did those treason trials halt the march
of history? People of Nigeria, our time is now. You
are the repository of power in the land.
No one can give you power. It is yours. Take it!
From this day, show to the world that anyone who
takes the people of Nigeria for fools is deceiving
himself and will have the people to answer to. God
bless you all. Long live the Federal Republic of
Nigeria. Long live the Government of National Unity.

Some folks are born masquerade... OP, you try.

As an introvert, i dont smoke nor do i party a lot bt i drink(though am not obssess with drinking).

With cheating or not, i think its a personal decision though its harder for an introvert to cheat unlike an extrovert bt if u wanna cheat, u will, introvert or not.

Nice write up, its a wonderful feeling for ladies when dey date an introvert(experiece thought me that)...av experienced some of my ex calling me to confess they still cherish the wonderful time we spend together.

ggrin:

The result of unemployment...

hushmail: never actually met any1 who ported

so dont know if its really worth while

Really?... am a porting officer with etisalat, and i port like 80 - 90 people every month.

though i noticed people are alwais pessimistic abt it...bt d fact dat it makes ur line flexible is fun

Early last year, the federal government of Nigeria introduced the Mobile Number Portability(MNP), under the supervision of NCC.

MNP is a platform that allows subscribers to switch from one network to another while they retain their phone number.

Prior to this, Nigerians are in the habit of buying new sims in order to satisfy there need from the network that can provide it. As a result of this, u see a person using almost or all the network.

Personally, i think MNP is a great idea, especially since u can switch back after 90days rather than buying a new sim anytime u want to join a network.

But not all Nigerians think this way, as some people prefer to buy a new sim to porting their old line anytime they want to join a network, especially since buying a line is cheap. Thats why dual sim phones are common in the country.

Lets hear your views, which would you prefer? Porting or buying a new sim?

“THE CHALLENGE OF
DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNANCE”, BEING TITLE
OF LECTURE DELIVERED BY
THE GOVERNOR OF LAGOS
STATE, HIS EXCELLENCY, MR.
BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA,
SAN ON THE BIRTHDAY
ANNIVERSARY OF HIS
EXCELLENCY TIMIPRE SYLVA
I think it is too elementary to
attempt any formal definition of
democracy.
It will serve our purpose to say
that it is participatory
governance in the sense that
we all have a say, whether we
vote or not. It is also useful to
remind ourselves that
participation is largely by
representation; in other words,
those who are old enough to
vote and those who are not,
are represented by people
elected to speak, think and act
for us.
This part is very important
because we all cannot be in
Government, especially the
Executive and Legislative arm,
so we must elect or otherwise
choose people to go there on
our behalf.
The problem is compounded
by size.
Can you imagine what a Senate
or House of Representatives
where all 160 million of us can
sit will look like? From this
point we can see the inherent
challenges that lie in a process
of collective decision making.
In order to further highlight
some of the challenges that lie
in democratic governance, I
will share with you a report of
developments across the World
published by Newsweek
Magazine on August 23 & 30,
2010 edition titled “the Best
Countries in the World”,
Newsweek Top 100.
An article by Rana Foroohar
posed the following question
before delivering the report of a
survey of 100 nations:-
”If you were born today, which
country would provide you the
very best opportunity to live a
healthy, safe, reasonably
prosperous and upwardly
mobile life?”
In the answer, Finland was
number 1, Nigeria was number
99, Ghana was number 86,
South Africa was number 82,
Brazil was number 48,
Singapore was number 20,
USA was number 11, United
Kingdom was number 14.
Greece, with its recent
economic and debt crises was
number 26, Russia was
number 51.
The United Arab Emirates,
Jordan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia,
that are not democracies in the
contemporary sense of the
western conception were rated
43, 53, 54 and 64 respectively.
Out of the 53 African countries
on the continent, only 18 made
the ranking, the highest being
Tunisia 65, Morocco 67 and
Egypt 74.South Africa, which is
reputed to be arguably the best
democracy in Africa and at the
time, the largest economy
ranked lower than these
“undemocratic” North African
countries at 82.
As if this was not bad enough,
earlier this year on a business
trip to Abu Dhabi, I was forced
to enter into conversation with
a middle aged man of Arab
extraction.
It was in the evening in our
hotel. He had come out to the
restaurant to dine and unwind.
I ended up on the same table
with him and he was insistent
on making conversation while
he drank a glass of red
alcoholic wine.
In the event he sought to know
where I came from and when I
said Nigeria, he accused our
Government of pauperizing our
country when we have oil like
his own country, Saudi Arabia.
When I told him that he was
not supposed to drink alcohol
he asked me if I was going to
report to his country.
When I reminded him that his
country was not democratic,
he hit me where it hurts most.
He asked what the value of
democracy is to my own
countrymen when his own
countrymen can build hospitals
that we bring our own ailing
presidents to.
As if this was not enough, he
rounded off by saying to me
that in his country they see
what their leaders are doing
with their money, building
roads, bridges, new airports,
schools, hospitals, rail,
shopping malls and generally
driving development, and he at
least did not care about
democracy.
Although I felt hurt that he
thought very little of my
country, the idea of freedoms,
to think, to speak, to act and to
ask questions is too valuable
for me to exchange for
development under an
autocratic or undemocratic
government.
So I worry as we must all
worry, when I hear some
people say that it is part of
their achievement that they
allow us to express ourselves.
Utter Rubbish!
They seek to re-define the
relationship in the social
contract. They are to serve us
and not the other way round. It
is not a privilege for us to
complain when they do not
deliver.
If the only options left to
choose from were between
freedom and development, I for
one will rather surrender
development than freedom.
However, I am however
convinced beyond doubt that
democracy can deliver
development and this is the
central theme of my
presentation.
Political Parties
In order for this to happen, the
vehicle of politics, the political
parties must be developed as
first class institutions. The first
thing to seek is the “idea”
behind governance (this is
often contained in the program
of a political party). This is
very important because the
extremes of left and right
ideologies have now converged
around the centre.
If China and Russia are
democratizing, no matter how
imperfectly, it is clear that the
communist or socialist
ideologies of economic
exchange have proven to
become
unsustainable. Conversely,
capitalism in its purest sense
has also had to reinvent itself
to remain viable. Therefore it
moved from cash to credit and
credit almost killed it.
