This was on the front page a few weeks ago. what changed?

Talking about shoes, has anybody heard the story of African politicians giving one shoe to voters and the second leg half of the shoe on election day after voting?

The reason I asked is that a few weeks ago, a national TV here in Ukraine broadcast a segment on election. Part of that program was on how politicians try to buy votes.

from the video used, I suspect it was somewhere in Southern Africa - not sure.

I'm just curious, why is this couple always on front page? This is like the 10th time I've seen them on display Surely there's more pressing news to be shown than them?

better to read this than other stuff that makes the front page (like some actress saying when she lost her virginity).

...and iya ibeji.. Don't be a racist

I think the word you were looking for is "don't be a sexist"

blueto:


first, I wasn't 'arguing'

secondly, people were able to decipher what I was saying.

please absquatulate from engaging in calumniating infractions.

its discombobulating!

You really have a problem with words. The people you thought decipher what you were saying actually thought you were writing a comedy sketch.

"absquatulate" "calumniating infractions" "its discombobulating" nobody uses those words. Not because they are not smart enough but because it is useless. Communication means when you speak, people should understand you without having to guess what you mean.

I'm not a betting man but I'll see your $1 and raise you $2 for those words.

How about we do this: Let's pick a prime time newscaster in the US or UK and let's monitor those 3 words for a week starting on Monday. I'll donate $2 to red cross or red crescent (whichever you prefer) for each time those words are used in those formats.

Nobody speaks like that except the local a$$#ole trying to invite the local sexworker out on a date. I'm sure you're not one of those.

Must you turn to pseudo-latinism just to show us you have a dictionary?

MY BIAFRA NIGERIA DREAM

I will tell you my brief background so that you will understand how hard it was for me to change my mind.
I was born in Abia state, I grew up around elders who told us kids stories about Biafra war and how intelligent Biafra armies were using machetes to out smart Nigeria armies. Beautiful stories of wonders of Biafra scientists, how they constructed airport in few days, built Ogbunaigwe (mass killing bomb) turn a normal airplane to a fighter jet etc. Those stories are inspiring, as they instill in us the believe, we are more superior than any other Nigerian. My slogan then was "the best thing to happen to me is being a Biafran and the worst thing is Being a Nigerian." that show how proud I'm being a Biafran. Last december I went to Aba and saw what my childhood friends were producing, the only obstacle they have is just that they lack finance support to produce in mass, when I came back to lagos, I longed and hunger for Biafra, because I believe it will give my friends more opportunity to flourish. If you check my signature you will see my posts and it clearly showed my support for Biafra and my Desire for it to come to pass. Haven encountered Jesus christ, I use to wait for him mostly before taken decisions. But when it became Biafra I didn't wait for the Lord permission before jumping in, that should tell you how serious Ideology is, it carries passion, you won't care if you leave or die, that's why you don't need to preach too much about Biafra before a real Igbo man will start believing in it. But my change of mind came on the 5/11/15 the Lord opened my eyes to see what's ahead of igbos, I was singing Nigeria anthem in the vision, then the Lord told me to look around, he asked me what did I see? I answered him I saw igbos and he said where? I answered everywhere. He asked me again what are they doing? I answered flourishing, he told me, I will turn Nigeria hate for Igbos into admiration, He told me igbos will dominate Nigeria in future. I'm just saying little of what I heard, God has big plan for Nigeria and east and Niger delta (Biafrans) are at the center of it all, the position they are now in Nigeria is just for a moment. That's not to undermine those who are fighting for Biafra, with what I saw they can get it. But the bigger picture for Biafrans is in Nigeria, all they need to do is just speak with one voice. For the prosperity of Nigeria, I believe is high time Nigeria stop pretending as if Biafra war never took place. We study history so that we will stop killing each other, but dumbness of Nigeria Leaders haven't allowed them access to proper wisdom of re introducing history in our schools. If you look around truly you will see Biafrans everywhere, Biafran own Nigeria more than anybody else. When I say Biafrans now I mean south east and south south, I called them Biafrans as a unifying name not as independent state. Truly speaking Biafrans holds key to Nigeria greatness, is high time Nigeria start to harvest Biafra great minds for the betterment of Africa at large. One Nigeria in future go dey sweet us all.

So, your God is now taking side? Just a quick reminder please - south south is not part of your Biafra republic. Let's get that out of the road fast.

As for me, I'm all for the actualization of your fraudulent republic(south east states). And when that happens, we should deport every Igbo man back to Biafra and build a giant 6 meter fence around your land.

I'm sure your elders would find a way to re-dig their LongJuju routes to sell more slaves.

only the Igbos claim they're the best in the world at every corner. That's why everyone hates you wherever you go - Ghana or South Africa.

so osimen is 16 rite,zakari is 16 too chukweze is also 16.isssokay

I don't know any of them personally but nothing makes me doubt they are 16. Have proof otherwise? Share it with us or else STFO!
How old are the guys in these pictures? For your information, these are all Nigerians playing for different countries' under 17.

bigwallace:
lol u talk abt mri scan,we know how dey get dier way around dat,am a goalkeeper nd av kept for so many local amauteur teams nd av gone for trials around so I know how dis tin works nd dnt say am bitter because I actually celeberated the 2013 set cos I saw truly young nd very talented side.

Educate us on how they get their way around it.

na naija we dey my sister,I have a cousin who is 22 nd he was told he is not ripe enuf to play u17 2yrs ago,imagine at age 22.its not asif he isn't good enough he is quite talented but he was told by the coach to wait 3more yrs.

Tell your cousin he's a lying $#ithead! I'm not sure which type of mutation he has that would help him as a 25 year old, pass as a 16 year old boy.
At 22, he could be playing for one of the local clubs if he's that good like he claimed. They have no age restriction. Do they?

bigwallace:
why re u talkin as if u no dey dis country,let's not support what is not,we all know dis guys are not 16yr old as claimed.

Why do you automatically assume others are lying? Can you wrap it around you head that not everyone is like you and that some people actually tell the truth?
Take a look at all the teams, you'll notice those from Africa actually look underdeveloped.

By the time he will be 20, people will ask you if you are his son.

I'm a Nigerian just so you know.

safarigirl:
Where are those people accusing our players?

That Mexican Captain is at least 19, no 17-year old has that kind of beard. Haba!

Kids grow up faster these days. My second son is already 1.82 meters and he is just 15!
His "mustache" started showing at 10 or 11 I believe . so, height or facial beard is not a barometer for age.

Pls Omooba 77 there is nothing like 12:00am.
We have 11:59am and if U add 1 minute to it, we have 12:00pm. Also we have 11:59pm and if you add 1 minute to it, we have 00:00am - which is the beginning of a new day. Pls change this international embarrassment. Later we will be calling our President an illiterate.

I can understand why you are confused though.

Just remember this: there are 24 hours in a day. Half of it is in AM and the other half is PM. That's why a broken clock is always correct twice a day. Once in am, and again in PM. 1AM/PM, 2AM/PM, 3AM/PM, 4AM/PM,5AM/PM,6AM/PM,7AM/PM,8AM/PM,9AM/PM,10AM/PM,11AM/PM, 12AM/PM.

it's that easy to remember.

Even the western world discipline kids in school...so madam if u can't take it, build your own school

how do you think they discipline kids in school? by flogging them?

In Ukraine, you'll have a very hard time expelling even the most hyperactive pupil talkless of disciplining them. All the teacher does is call their parents to school like every other day... when no result, the teacher can extend their time in school for about 30-45 minutes under the pretext of
re-explaining the subject he/she missed while misbehaving. It get's really boring for the parent and pupil soon enough.

Napoleon55:
There are things extremely important for success most people don't know,and thank God the officials of this set of Eaglets knows the secret either by chance or by design.
Check the hair styles of each of the members of this present Golden eaglets and compare it to other remaining teams of this championship hair styles then u'll will understand what I'm talking about, *****DISCIPLINE***** HUMILITY***** FAITH***** and u will be rest assured that this trophy belongs to the Golden eaglets as long as they remain focused which I believe they will.
It's almost impossible for them to lose this trophy,they have all it takes to win this championship at this level. What they have is invisible,
At this level of the players career where their careers just kicked-off,it's imperative that their humility,discipline,loyalty etc level is at the optimum.
When I saw the hair styles of the last set of U-20 Manu's boys,I knew in my heart that they have lost some of the ingredients of success. Talents alone seldomly takes u to the top.
Isaac and kelechi might,just might be excused but this their hair styles is just uncalled for 4 now. Someone should talk to them.
An U-20 national team footballers are not supposed to carry just any kind of hair styles that pleases him. I don't have problems with the hair styles of already established footballers. Just the U-17/U-20.
Unless something beyond the control of the Eaglets happens,they are already as good as the Champions.

hairstyles has nothing to do with it.

blueto:


I presume that one of the reasons for the impermanence and indubitable failure to implicitly transits the sublime performance to the senior world cup is because of lack of steadfastness by homogeneous set of players.

we were hoping and maintaing a resolute fidelity on the previous U-17 lads to evovle to the U-20 world cup and win it, since they did absolutely well in the U-17. but they ended up being one of the commiserated teams in the tornament.

this is because they are now virtually deviod of thesame level of dedication and passsion of which they formally possessed during the U-17 world cup. they played the U-17 world cup with great commitment because they know that it was an unprecedented vantage of displaying their phenomenal talents to the world, and most especially to secure the attention and the induction into some prestigious clubs, to play and earn in the top league and clubs!
At this stage, they are ready to do anything just to record an impressive performance.

But onces they have succesfully achieved this objective, they begin to exprience a frivolous and a declining enthusiasm for the national team. they no longer put in their best, because of they have gotten want they wanted.

And aslo because of the saying that 'Nigeria is not worth dieing for'
If any detrimental situation betide them during national football matches, they will be forgotten without any indemnification for them and their families.
Nigerias praise and consider you when you are active and yeilding great results, but they desert you in the time of adversity.
And I predicate that such pedestrian mindset by Nigerians is one of the major deterrents to them.

Good lord! must you use those big big words? it rendered your argument useless I must confess. nobody speaks like that. There're simpler words to use more effectively you know.

are you freaking kidding me? you can't afford $1? then buy a radio. the music streams for free and advertisers pay for it.
what would you say when arm rubbers come knocking on your door because they need your stuff too? I guess you'll understand and bless them.

It is not about being rich or poor. Your existence is not dependent on you listing to that music. So you have a choice.

CandyBar:
What is it with these people and not beating children??

In 20 years.......no parent will be able to control their child.

That's exactly why you should find a better way to bring up your kids than beating them.
can you imagine if you're beating your kids now and then 40 years down the line you need their help. What would you threaten them with. cane?
what they'll remember is the love you gave them... not the beating.

unconditional love between parents and their kids is a far more lasting relationship than that based on fear.
Create a boundary and let them know what happens when they get out of it and why it is bad for everyone. It would work 95% of the time.

preciousMI1:
I studied education not by mistake but by choice... reinforcement is necessary... I'll flog ur son if he breaks d rule else u take him and home school....

New generation parents

Since you're an educator, let me ask you some questions.

1) Do you have kids of your own? If yes, how often do you flog them?
2) which class do you teach?
3) how close are you to your students?

There's more power in caring about a student (even if you only pretend to) than holding the cane over them. The concern of disappointing someone is far more effective than the fear of punishment from my experience.

Excellentmind:
Why not do the teaching yourself instead of talking nonsense in public. This ranting will not save your child from being flogged in as much as you send him to school and heaven will not fall.

Besides, spare the rod and spoil the child, so says the Holy Bible.

Get your facts straight first, then you can bend them whichever way you like.
Nowhere in the bible would you find that statement! Nowhere. If you insist it is from the bible, then, give me the translation you're using. You'll not find anything close to "spare the rod and spoil the child".

What you're trying to ascribe to the bible was written one thousand seven hundred years after the last book of the bible was written or fabricated.

ZUBY77:


Let me just spare you this evening.
Afterall you are my Igbo sister.

But take my word, flogging a child moderately is good for their upbringing.
It will save you from seeking deliverance for him in the rogue churches all over the place later on in life.

Have a good day.

Not sure which books you've authored... parenting is not one of them for sure. So, keep your BS to yourself. OK?
flogging achieves absolutely nothing! it creates fear, understandably. But that's it. There are millions of ways to bring up or teach a child without beating.

agabaI23:
May be you should teach your son at home ma....

What does beating a child and teaching him have in common? it's barbaric at best. If beating works, Africa would be number 1 in all subjects and all new inventions would be coming out of that continent. But we're seeing the exact opposite.

Do you have children? how often do you beat them?

Djblinkz:
I got a job as an Analyst in a Noodles manufacturing company in Lagos, I was staff, though the salary was small, and the agreement says my salary will be reviewed after 2 months due to my performance. What's eating me now is that, they decided to pay some set of people in the company and left some few set. I was among the unfortunate ones they refused to pay, and when I ask the management for my salary, they keep saying there is no market, I told them I won't come to work again if they refuse to pay me, they begged me that I should keep coming, and now I'm very pissed off, I can't afford for my personal upkeep anymore as I'm staying with a friend. My mind keep breeding different evil suggestions like "I should go and set their warehouse ablaze", but I'm not as tough as that. I decide to share this for advice please, "they say two minds on a problem is better than one"

Please, avoid doing anything that would get you arrested. Not worth it at all! Vengeance, only look good for a moment and then, regret sets in. Good to say you'll regret it the rest of your life even if not caught in the act. Beside, that would still not pay your salary now. would it?

The best option is to negotiate their products at a very very steep discount price as payment for your past salary. You said they manufacture Noodles? your natural market place would be university hostels if you have the patience to wait for a higher payout. for quick buck, talk to a store owner near you... give them a few "sample" and explain the situation.

Don't accept their first offer, tell them you're talking to a few stores and you want to see what the others can offer.

You may even end up making more than your salary.

MRI doesn't determine the age of players m..oron
But seriously who doesn't know the nigerian players are over 30 years?None is even below 25.
As matter of fact, we will not qualify for an under 30 nigerian side to bully us.We will rather stay home and watch.
Why do you think your senior team is a joke?You guys can only make impact in age restriction tournaments because that's where you assemble over 30 players as under 17.
LOSERS!

You said "seriously who doesn't know the nigerian players are over 30 years?None is even below 25" are you even watching the match at all?
I'm not sure how 25-year old boys look on your side of the jungle, but those guys playing are nowhere near 20.

but seriously, where is the hate coming from? go get a life.
