Dottore:
Even though I don't welcome the idea of promoting prostitution in any way but I still maintain that if anyone must pay for sex then it should be females because everything about them is overhyped.
A female bum, boobs and poocy looks great only when confined under nice tight fitting fancy clothings.
The bitter truth is that when u finish your round of sex and take a look at her naked body again, you'd have a rethink whether all the efforts u put in place are worth it.
Females know this that's why they are insecure and very conscious of their looks they'd try all manner of manipulative ideas on men to get what they want before sex. The competition amongst the female folks to outdo each other to garner men's attention is another topic. I don't want to talk about the disgust of flappy bums, folding skin at the back stomach region, stretch marks, sick poocy, bleeding poocy or smelly poocy.
Imagine getting a fine attractive and beautiful lady only to discover that her poocy is a terrible 'odorant'. My brother only fingerling her will make u feel like a sinner. If u make the mistake of sexing her even with double shield c0ndom you'd still feel like not only a hopeless sinner but you'd still be doubting if condoms are actually good shields.
Imagine seeing a very fine lady, holding her in high esteem and spending a lot only to discover that her boobs are fallen irredeemably, her hole is like putting a bamboo in a well of water and she floods everywhere disproportionately with wets and cums, and creampies and moans you'd definitely demand for refund with interest of everything u spent including the fuelling of your car.
I don't blame Hausas that can kill for young teenage girls. A worn out tire takes u no where.
Men pls lets turn things around. Stop dying in silence #DONTPAY4SEX Bros you don kill me here |

| Science/Technology › Man Constructs A Demonstration Hot Air Engine by Melkizedeck(op): 12:56am On Feb 11, 2018 |
A man by name Njiribe Franklin posted a demonstration hot air engine on his facebook page which he recently constructed. Although he is not claiming he invented it, he is only appealing to well meaning Nigerians to help support his idea of opening a factory where he will be building engines of all types locally to help drive the standard of living of the black race that is seen as mentally inferior by the Americans, Europeans and Asians. Or we should at least suggest for him where he should showcase his constructions just as BBnaija is for entertainment. The technological gap between the whites and the blacks has become increasingly dangerous so let us help one of our own to avoid another brain drain.
Go to his facebook page, njiribe franklin to watch and download the video.
Summary of his construction;
Introduction
The project which I have done is a low temperature differential, hot air engine. *demonstration purpose only*
A hot air engine (historically called an air engine or caloric engine) is any heat engine that uses the expansion and contraction of air under the influence of a temperature change to convert thermal energy into mechanical work.
Robert Stirling's air engine of 1818 was the first air engine put to practical work.
*How it works*
In a typical implementation air is repeatedly heated and cooled in a cylinder and the resulting expansion and contraction is used to move a piston and produce useful mechanical work.
Stretch a balloon over an opened can. Put the tin can in hot water; the air heats up causing it to expand and push the balloon outwards. Now put it in cold water; the air inside contracts, the atmospheric pressure is greater outwards and pushes the balloon inwards.
*Benefits*
The number one benefit is its advantage of using a multitude of possible 'hot sources' to generate electricity. In a country like Nigeria where the petrol is the mainstay in generating electricity individually thereby sometimes creating scarcity and high cost of petrol, diversifying to others would help improve our standard of living.
The hot air engine could be reconfigured to produce cooling which would air condition our homes during severe hot weather independent of the power industry and improve food storage such as employing freeze-drying techniques
The silence of operation is another factor. It is much quieter than the known electricity generator
It is very easy to maintain
It is more eco friendly than the conventional generator. The engine can be run inside the house unlike the generator which can kill people if run inside their rooms due to carbon monoxide.
*Future benefits*
In a world that is increasingly going green, the hot air engine would play a key role in helping to convert the power of the sun into clean electricity to charge cars, etc

| Politics › Re: FG May Increase Petrol Price To N180 Per Litre by Melkizedeck: 11:56am On Jan 05, 2018 |
marryjesus:
The Federal Government may increase the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly called petrol to a minimum price of N180 and above anytime soon.
Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu who dropped the hint in Abuja on Thursday, said the current price of N145 per litre can no longer be sustained.
In a presentation he made to a joint committee on Petroleum (Downstream) of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Minister said the landing cost for petrol stood at N171 per litre.
According to him, the Federal Government, through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has been bearing the cost of N26 per litre, representing the difference between N171 and the current official price of N145 per litre.
Insisting that independent marketers would not be able to import the product at the current foreign exchange rate, saying the marketers were able to sell for N145 per litre when the exchange rate was N285 per Dollar. The Naira presently exchanges for N365 per Dollar.
“We now have to go back and find the solution to this problem in order to ease supply gaps and ensure availability of the product at all times,” the Minister said.
Kachikwu, however, proffered three alternative solutions to pump price increase: getting the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to introduce a modulated foreign exchange rate specifically for importers of the product; giving the marketers significant tax adjustments to enable them to absorb the high cost; and a plural pricing system whereby the NNPC would continue to sell at N145 through its numerous outlets while the marketers are allowed to fix their own price.
The Minister identified causes of the last fuel scarcity to include diversion of products, logistic constraints, bottleneck associated with clearance, bad road network, insufficient product reserves, smuggling through land borders, supply gaps and enforcement challenges.
He stated that the marketers stopped importing fuel since October 2017, as a result of their inability to access foreign exchange from the CBN, leaving only the NNPC to import the product, which has left a wide gap between demand and supply.
Dr. Kachikwu lamented that the price of petrol rises with the rise in the price of crude oil in the international, stressing that in such instances, Nigeria spends more to import refined products. In effect, any rise in crude oil price increases the amount the country spends on the importation of fuel.
To address the situation, the Minister canvassed the opening up of production lines, specifically the refineries, which he said, would address supply gaps that usually leads to incessant scarcity.
“Rising prices in international market affecting domestic prices. What the country needs is to have the refineries working. It’s a shame that after 40 years, Nigeria cannot produce its domestic consumption.
“It would take 18 months to address problems of scarcity, price stability and other issues relating to the supply of petroleum products. The pipelines should be concessioned to allow private participation.
“There is huge infrastructure deficit in the system because the NNPC ought to be distributing products through their pipes but most of the pipes are damaged. The has necessitated the use of trucks to distribute the product across the country.
“Most importantly, fixing the refineries should be the lasting solution. To discuss and address the issues, we have to seek approval from the President,” the Minister said.
In his own submission at the hearing, the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru said the last scarcity was caused by rumours of price increase in the media that led marketers into hoarding the product in anticipation of higher prices.
Said he: “So there was a frenzy in the movement of products to the hinterland and diversion of products going to the hinterland in anticipation of the increase in price.
“The NNPC, or the Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Authority (PPPRA) had no mandate to increase pump price.”
The GMD said that the strike action embarked upon by PENGASAN in December was partly responsible for the scarcity, saying issues raised by the association for going on strike had nothing to do with the NNPC.
According to him, the strike triggered panic buying by members of the public leading to scarcity of the product. He added that although PENGASAN called off the strike on December 18, the damage had already been done.
Baru identified other factors responsible for the last scarcity to be the higher price at which petrol is sold in neighbouring African countries, citing Cameroun where he said petrol sells for N300-N400 per litre.
Stating that the NNPC has enough product to bridge supply gaps, Baru insisted the corporation has sufficient stock to go round even without importation.
The GMD alleged that about 4500 distribution trucks failed to return to depots to complete their distribution formalities during the scarcity period, meaning that the trucks were diverted.
“There was no supply gap because we have Direct Sale Direct Purchase (DSDP) agreement with 10 consortia involved. Three of them rejected their cargoes, which were reallocated to others.”
The GMD also hinted that the refineries in Kaduna and Port Harcourt were being reactivated and restreamed and that they have been producing three million litres daily.
Baru also cited disagreements among the various private operators in the sector as part of the problems that threw up the scarcity, adding that the marketers were busy trading allegations of sharp practices.
He said: “For instance, IPMAN said MOMAN and DAPPMA were charging over N133.28/litre but when we asked them to provide evidence of overcharging, they could not provide any. If proven, NNPC would have withdrawn the licenses of the errant bodies.”
The Executive Secretary of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Mordecai Baba Ladan told the committee that at the outset of scarcity, the DPR rolled out its machinery across the country, with the directive from the Minister that defaulters be dealt with.
“Almost every marketer/filling station across the country are defaulters. And if all defaulting filing stations were to be shut down, there may not be anyone left.
“They horde, sell above official price and also divert products. But we have stepped up our monitoring process now that the NNPC is the sole importer but the corporation cannot do it alone.
Virtually all the independent marketers that attended the hearing alleged multiple charges by the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA), NIMASA and some state governments charging 3 kobo per litre wharf landing fee.
The Executive Secretary of MOMAN, Mr. Obafemi Olawore said the N800 billion owed marketers by the Federal Government has made it difficult for them to obtain credit from the banks to import the product.
He appealed to the government to give key players major roles in the importation business, saying that shutting down errant filling stations won’t solve the scarcity problem but rather aggravate it.
Olawore called for total deregulation of the sector to allow more participants from the private sector.
Curiously, however, the chairman of the joint committee, Senator Kabiru Marafa who had vowed to grill the Minister and the GMD over secret subsidy payment by the government.
Briefing newsmen at the National Assembly on Friday, Marafa had raised questions on who pays the difference of the N26 in the landing cost of N171 against the pump price of N145.
The lawmaker said there were indications that a subsidy of N26 was being paid on every litre of petrol sold in the country and wondered who has been paying the subsidy.
Marafa had said, “If there is subsidy payment, then who approved it and how much has been paid out as the subsidy so far. If you want to provide the subsidy, it should come through the National Assembly but we have not received any request for subsidy payment from the Executive arm.”
Stating that about N10 trillion has been paid out as the subsidy, Marafa had lamented that stakeholders in the Petroleum industry, particularly the NNPC, have not been transparent in the running of the sector.
He said these were some of the issues the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, Baru and others would be made to explain to Nigerians at the January 4 hearing.
“We are going back to the same circle where only a few persons benefit from subsidy payment at the expense of the Nigerian people,” Senator Marafa had said.
Other members of the joint committee are Senators Tayo Alasoadura, Mao Ohuanbunwa, Sabi Abdullahi, Foster Ogola, Yahaya Abdullahi, Rose Oko, Philip Aduda among others.

| Politics › Re: Igbo Ekunie Initiative: Another Pro-Biafra Agitation Group Emerges In Nigeria by Melkizedeck: 10:31am On Jan 04, 2018 |
exlinklodge:
Reports that a newly formed Igbo socio-political group, the Igbo Ekunie Initiative, has emerged. They have advised President Muhammadu Buhari to engage self determination groups in Nigeria in a fruitful dialogue that would ultimately address their grievances and permanently end agitations in the country.
The group, which had existed for about two years in the Diaspora, apparently came out in the open to fill the gap created by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
President of the group, Mazi Tochukwu Ezeoke, who spoke with reporters in Awka, however observed that violence and marching on the streets would not achieve any objective, insisting that dialogue remained the best approach.
In his words;
We, the Igbo Ekunie Initiative, submit that time has come for a fundamental restructuring of the Nigerian state to a structure and system that provides optimal governance that meets the needs of the populace and allows each region develop at their pace.
“We note that the fundamentals of restructuring suffer no conflict as all proponents virtually agree that more control/autonomy in all facets should be given to the states and regions as the case may be.”
“Government systems should also be modified and streamlined for more effective governance such that there should be rotation of power for purposes of nation building. “Efforts should also be made to eliminate corruption and security enhanced so that development and welfare of the citizenry should be the clear and unambiguous goal of government at all levels.”
He described as an irony the federal government’s proscription of IPOB, while, according to him, the same government was treating the killer Fulani herdsmen with kids glove, despite the pains they were inflicting on the people.
He said further: “2019 general election is around the corner and it is time for government to take decision. Herdsmen cannot be killing our people and somebody would be looking the other way, but had to proscribe IPOB that is innocuous. It is unacceptable.
“We call for immediate withdrawal of all charges against IPOB members and the unconditional release of all their detained members. “In a democratic and heterogeneous state, dialogue should be championed above repression as that is the only way to achieve lasting peace.
“It is unfortunate that President Buhari’s government is returning Nigeria to full blown marginalization and vexed politics of exclusion. Ezeoke said it was obvious that the status quo was unsustainable; adding that attempting to retain it was at best, suicidal.

ApostleT:
It is a scam! The reasons are these:
1. That indicates bulk mail. When you are offered a job your employer will address you personally e.g. Dear Sango,
2. - This is funny but ridiculous. There is a suggestion that the US has an embassy in the US. The use of the word "the" indicates a specific diplomat however no name was mentioned.
3. - This is a Nigerian English. Where is here? If you have an idea how different nationalities write. This line is clearly written by a Nigerian.
4.There is an indication that your nephew got his visa without applying for one. That borders around insanity. Employers can sponsor your visa application they cannot post your visa. Did your nephew apply for US visa, work permit and employer authorization card? I guess the answer is NO and if he did he would have applied for visa at the US embassy in Nigeria not the US embassy in the US (a ridiculous concept to begin with)
5.
The mysterious diplomat has now taken up the postman position  . The emphasis is on the cargo delivery which is written in capital letter. This should activate an alarm bell in your head. This is scam. Requesting a payment from an employee to complete employment contract is a confirmation of the fraud. I am sure this so called company paid more than $250 to process the work permit.
Finally the use of language is similar to other internet scams. May God bless you for this analysis. You should be a detective |

BREAKING: EFCC files fraud charges against Innoson Motors, Innocent Chukwuma
• PREMIUM TIMES
The anti-graft agency, EFCC, has filed fraud charges against Innoson Motors and its embattled chairman, Innocent Chukwuma.
The third defendant in the suit is Mr. Chukwuma’s brother, Charles.
The four-count charge is dated November 30, and filed at the High Court of Lagos State, Ikeja Division.
Mr. Chukwuma was arrested last week and released a day later.
His arrest follows allegations he forged some documents in a transaction involving GTBank
The businessman has denied any wrongdoing.
Details http://anstalk.com/breaking-efcc-files-fraud-charges-innoson-motors/ There must be a very daft reason efcc is bringing up this issue that appeared to have taken place about ten years ago! Besides he might be framed up! only time would tell. one advice for the Igbos; you all should intelligently team up behind this man with every resource at your disposal. By resource I do not mean wailing and playing the victim card! You are a major tribe, use your strength wisely! Notice how they play divide-and-conquer by attacking Ike Ekweremadu who has strongly voiced out against this mess! You cannot fight the Federal Government militarily but you can fight them to a standstill using other means. Even though this man employs EVERY Nigerian irrespective of tribal affiliation and has no criminal record! It is only a matter of time we would find out IF the oyibos has a hand in this or it is a local problem!!! |

To say the I'm disappointed in the ibos that turned this case into a tribal affair is to say the least.
I learnt that Innosson MD operated fatter accounts with both Fidelity and Diamond banks owned by Ibos in 2009 when he was seeking for loan but they did not believe in his dream. They also doubted his imtergrity being an Igno man. They would rather lend their money to fuel importers or non Igbo businessesmen.
GTB took a risk and lent this ingrate and unfaithful man called Innocent Chukwuma the money he needed and look at where we are today.
Why didn't this man turn against his tribesmen when they refused to lend him money for his business?
The man forged a document to clear his goods when he had not paid GTB but GTB was magnanimous with him and his business even after innoson confessed to the SFU (Special Fraud Unit) he forged the documents.
Unreasonable fellows are calling for their people to close their accounts in GTB. Whao!!
GTB makes over 76% of their profit from just top 350 customers. Some of the e-rats calling for boycott of GTB are actually burden on the bank.
Have the senseless tribalist thought of if GTB decides to sack their brothers and sisters working in the bank?
Innoson is doing well by setting up a manufacturing company in Nigeria but I must quickly add so also is GTB that is lending home grown companies money.
Innoson shot himself in the foot by turning the whole thing to a tribal affair.
His people are all over Abuja and Lagos with caps in hands pleading for soft landing while him and his lawyers are withdrawing cases instituted against EFCC & GTB but its too late. To be honest, I am so ashamed of your comment because it reeks of shallowness and tribalism to spite the Igbos! if you would believe hearsays that he met Fidelity and Diamond banks for loans; both of whom he operates accounts with and. was turned down, to the extent that you leveraged on this and weighed in your points, then we are finished in this nation! Something tells me people like you are being paid here online to sway opinions of people into believing your propaganda! This same efcc filing this suit embarrassed this man initially and let him go without providing weighty accusation(s). Only for them to turn around in about 3 days to file a funny suit they would have done initially?? Don't this tell you something? Especially after he, the victim that was supposed to press charges withdrew and EVEN claimed innocently that his kangaroo arrest was not tribal? Go and sack all the Igbos in GTB na. Just know something YOU ARE NOT GOD!!! It's high the Igbos applied serious wisdom and intelligence and shun emotional outbursts when they are hurt!!! |

| Literature › Re: 11 Facts You Didn't Know About William Shakespeare by Melkizedeck: 12:11pm On Dec 24, 2017 |
GeeStaff:
William Shakespeare is considered as one of the greatest playwrights in the history of the world. The English poet was born on April 23, 1564. He is often called the "Bard of Avon" portraying him to represent the identity, beliefs and principles of the British culture.
He is the best-selling fiction author of all time (selling over 4 billion copies of written works). His style, lessons and quotes span over 400 years and till reaps relevance in our modern culture - especially in the field of literature.
His plays have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
While Shakespeare is known for his popular works such as The Tempest, Hamlet and Macbeth - most of these book being taught at schools and colleges, a little peep closer into the life of this gifted writer reveals some truths that are often not spoken about.
The purpose of this post is to unravel some facts about Shakespeare you (probably) didn't know.
1 . Shakespeare got married at a very early age. Can you guess…? 25 maybe? You're not even close. Shakespeare joined oath together with Anne Hathaway when he was just 18. The marriage took place in Stratford, Warwickshire.
2 . Shakespeare had twins.
His marriage union with Anne Hathaway saw the birth of three children: Susan and a set of twins, Hamlet and Judith.
3 . Some of Shakespeare's best works were produced between 1589 and 1613. He predominantly produced mainly comedies and histories which are often considered to be some of the best work ever produced in these genre.
4 . The actual date of birth of Shakespeare is unknown. Although it is predominantly observed to be on 23 April, which can however be traced back to an 18th-century scholar's mistake. The widely used date - 23rd April was actually the day he died.
5 . Shakespeare's wife - Anne Hathaway, was 8 years older than him. He got married to her at age 18 while she was 26!
6 . Shakespeare has been translated into 80 languages.
7 . Shakespeare used derogatory and insulting terms in some of his plays. Contrary to popular belief that his work were mainly censored comedies and romantics, his characters knew how to call you a "slowpoke" without stooping to simplism. A collection of some of his insulting statements are on litcharts
8 . Far from being a broke artist, Shakespeare's plays made him very wealthy. In 1597, he bought the second largest house in Stratford
9 . There's a possibility that we're all spelling his name wrong. Recorded spellings of his name range from Shakspere to Shaxberd to Shappere. No documented record of him actually spelling his name as "Shakespeare.
10 . There were no portraits of Shakespeare painted in his lifetime. Therefore all existing paintings you see are all guesswork.
11 . Some scholars think Shakespeare wasn't the original writer of most of his plays. They couldn't fathom How a provincial commoner become one of the most eloquent and prolific writers in history. Even in his early career, William was writing tales that had in-depth knowledge of history and international affairs. Record doesn't indicate he went to a university.

Mrnairalandd:
Like i said earlier, the end of Innoson business has come
This is not a matter of wishing him bad but reality
Anybody in Banking sector ll understand what i am saying
As Innoson stands, all Banks both local and international have blacklisted that name for life
It ll be a financial battle for him
To worsen his case, he whipped the tribal sentiment and the publicity went viral to the point Igbos started boycotgtb tag online
This is the biggest mistake any person(small business man) talkless of an industrialist can make
All Banks work together when it comes to fraud and underviced loans.
No matter how much he pays tomorrow to GTank, the dent ll continue to hunt his business for life.
As we speak, Innoson credit worth to all local and international banks is Zero.
His kinsmen through their stupidity and victim mentality have killed his business by making all what he did behind closed doors went viral.
All Banks ll be scared to do business with him and that business can survive without loans. Well let's see who is right in the end. Things usually don't work the way you predict. You should know now that granting someone loan is a business advantage, especially one who has already established a big business. Again you should know that political administration is ephemeral. Innoson has come to stay. His business will outlive so many presidents and bank CEOs |

Xisnin:
Innoson will end up begging GTB for mercy.
He was an humble businessman when he was seeking loan in 2009.
He cannot become a GTB shareholder through the back door.
Even if he wins the 6bn case of alleged charges in the supreme court,
he will certainly lose the fraud case which may run into tens of billions
at the 22% interest rate and a possible jail time.
I hope his lawyers can do the math.
Whichever way, it is in his best interest to settle out of court because
his media war will lead to nowhere. You are only being intelligent by half! There is no proof of forgery anywhere!!! except you would begin a kangaroo court process which will still be suppressed!!! If you don't understand politics you better shut up!!! This case is being handled by a team of lawyers on both sides!! |

She is igbo but igbo youths say they want biafra. Which way for igbos sef? Are they serious with this biafra stuff at all?
As it is, it is a lose-lose situation for them in the status quo in maintained because they will continue to maintain their current position in Nigeria as nothing higher will be given to them. If nothing urgent is done, their wailings continue. you are being intelligent by half if you say 'all Igbo youths want Biafra'! |

Bevista:
The very same people who complain about oppression in Nigeria are the first to support Isreali oppression of Palestine - simply because it fits their religious prejudices. The Israeli which they so much claim to love are not even Christians, but predominantly Jews. The Jews do not even read the Bible, yet they claim God is fulfilling a Biblical prophesy.
---
In the Bible, Jacob FRAUDULENTLY stole the right of his brother Esau, yet the entire Christian faith still justify and celebrate Jacob - simply because it is so written in the Bible.
---
On the Jerusalem issue, 128 countries voted against US decision (including major allies like France, Germany, UK, Italy, etc.). Most of these countries have significant Christian majority. Yet people like FFK will see this as an opportunity to advance their anti-Islamic narrative.
---
Are we even aware that there are Christians in Palestine who also feel aggrieved by the Israeli and US actions? Brother, I am an Igbo, a Christian and a supporter of FFK. But to be honest, you made a lot of sense in your writeup and I am beginning to think twice!!! |

Diablo666:
There was a thread yesterday I think about Nigeria being ranked 6th in Africa financial markets despite its huge market but yet poorly ranked due to lack of transparency. I think this is a typical case scenario.
I don't side with any party here cos I don't know the in-detail of their respective transactions but I think innosson would suffer bringing this rift to the public the most cos his name is now connected to fraud and that will deter any foreign investors. Really wish they had quietly resolved this mess That's your opinion. Thanks to Heaven, you're not God! |

Diiet:
Innoson must pay his debts.
And with the way innoson played a smart one on GTB, no bank in this country should offer him loan again.
A debtor claiming right. Wonders shall never end.
He's being investigated for fraud and forgery, nobody should cry for him. I know Nigeria very well bro. If Innoson was this guilty as you have typed, they would have closed his business a long time ago! |
