We know Peafowl with two of its common names,
Peacock and Pavo. It is a large yet beautiful bird of
pheasant family. God has made it with distinctive
colors and shades. It usually lives in shady and

have to keep it in their zoos, provide it with the
similar habitat.

Check out the game that make the childhood of many of us..... . . . "Kantas"

ebuksama: me and my elder brother is to play it back then until we get playstation my psn ID is buksbaba

we stopped playing it when we started secondary skool

DaWorshiper: This must be a lie.

don't u see the source? FNMA meaning Fake Naija News

Dreyl: wow!this cantas football was one of my best game then.

I felt ashamed when I realize. that one of my juniors knows how to play it now.

ExpressBooking: Best option is my wife should try and cross to the other side of the stream where I am. she might get lucky because the two strange voices are expecting a movement from the opposite direction and she may likely catch them unawares too and cross safely to my side.

what if she was not that lucky to cross as you are

I came across this question when I am listening to a program titled "One Missed Call" in one of the radio stations in Kaduna.
Despite listening to various responses and funny answers from people who called to say their answers, I brought forward the question to Nairaland to get your responds.
Here is the question (although others may take it as a passage) ;
"You are traveling with your one and only wife and you got to a stream which you have to cross with your legs,you then ask your wife to wait for you at the edge of the stream to cross to the other side first so as to ensure the safety of the water in the stream i.e whether it is too deep or not.
As you lay your leg inside the water,it feels like you have stepped on the back of a person. Quickly and scarefully, you jump to the other edge of the stream.
All of a sudden, you heard two strange voices from the stream ;
1st voice: Did you get him?
2nd voice: No, he had escaped but I will surely get him on his return?
Before you think of a solution to get your wife safely across the stream without falling a victim of those voices,you saw a huge,hungry LION from the other side of the river where your wife was,running towards wife."
What action will you take?
Will you enter the stream once again to cross and protect your wife while those with the strange voices are still waiting for your return? OR
Will you let the hungry Lion have a feast on your wife?
Note: there is no assurance you can fight a Lion even if you get to your wife.

I had just received a
broadcast message on
BBM about a new music
release on social media
by one of my favourite
Nigerian artistes. I
usually let them pile up
till the weekend when I
take my time to select
the ones I find most
fascinating to download.
I got on to the music site with the help of my smart
phone, clicked on the song, and then scrolled all the
way down to read the reviews first, in order to
manage my expectations. My experience was
shocking. Half of the comments that trickled down
were remarks coated and soaked in hatred. People
take time/data out to hate, criticize, and condemn
other people’s hard work and art’.
This happens all the time. Sometimes I wonder the
kind of satisfaction people get from hating other
people on the internet. Not sure about other
countries, but I think Nigerians lead the pack in the
race of dedicated online hate in Africa.
Social media platforms are perhaps the greatest
innovations of our generations. We now live in a
digital world where people communicate all over the
world almost at the speed of light; social media has
given people a platform to express themselves in
many ways possible.
Even though social media penetration in Africa lags
behind the rest of the world and is just about 7
percent ahead of central Asia (primarily as a result
of lack of affordable, accessible internet on the
continent) Nigeria still leads the way with the
highest number of internet users; Facebook users,
and active mobile subscriptions despite South Africa
having higher internet, Facebook and mobile
penetration.
In addition, statistics by the Alder report for social
media in Nigeria showed that the internet
contributed about 2 billion dollars to the Nigerian
economy. That isn’t so hard to believe about a
country of over 177 million people and 67 million
internet users as of December 2013 &over 6 million
Facebook users. I mean, the possibilities of what we
can possible do with the internet are endless.
There’s so much to learn and there’s arguably
nothing you can’t find on the internet. Well, maybe
except food.
Very recently a top Nigerian singer, Banky W
released a music video of a Song titled JaiyeOrimi.
In that song, he basically talks about the hate
towards him, his big head, being single,
yadayadayada. Unsurprisingly, 90% or more of
these criticisms and hate were all shot through the
social media. This goes to show how far these
hates can go. In December 2012, Jessica Laney, an
American hung herself in her home after suffering a
constant abuse from online bullies.
You’d agree with me that if these hate messages all
over the social media were gun shots, most
influential people would have been long buried by
now.
Everyday on social media pages are stacks of angry
people raging against politicians, influencers,
musicians, celebrities on the internet. Most times
appraisals of popular musicians include words like
‘talentless fools’, clueless idiot’, useless song’.
Change the subject to Politicians and it becomes
even more intense. At a point President Goodluck
Jonathan was said to be the most hated president
on social media.
I often wonder why humans are so bitter towards
other humans who are on the mission make a real
meaning out of life just like everyone’s out there.
Could it be that these ‘hate champions’ feel fulfilled
when they let out the hate?
Does flinging stones at other people cause a major
change?
Does expressing bitterness aggressively towards
others bring some sort of Satisfaction?
Does seeing other people struggle or suffer as a
result of hate on social media prove any real point?
As I brood over through these questions and more,
the harder it gets to justify the act of social and
online media hatred.
This hatred is underserved. Some of these
influential people are actively involved in charity
campaigns and even some of the politicians have
also performed fairly well. In other words they have
made the world a better place, something that
cannot be said for your standard internet keyboard
hate warrior. Does this mean you have to like their
music or government? Does it mean dedicating
5,000 words to trashing them on a blog is misplaced
rage? You do the math.
The problem with hatred is not that it is exactly
immoral but it is pointless. Even Martin Luther king
once said that he has decided to stick to love,
because hate is too great a burden to bear. The
irony here is that if you truly want to forget
something or someone, you just cannot hate it or
hate them, because everything and everyone you
hate is engraved on your heart. In other words, to
let go of something, you cannot hate it.
Social media is way far from a hate platform, it
sparks revelation that we have a voice and through
the democratization of content and ideas we can
once again unite around common passions, inspire
movements, and ignite real change. Not real hate.
The world will be a better place if we learn to be
more polite, kind, more tolerant of others, and also
cultivate and sustain positive values.
Maybe there is some truth in the saying that ‘there
will be haters. And the more you grow the more the
hate, the more they hate the more you grow’.
Over to you: Why do people hate on social media?
Share your thoughts!

all of you wey dey view my topic without commenting, deris god oh!

Looking back in retrospect to my childhood days, i decided to share to my fellow nairalanders my favourite game then; Kantas.
"Kantas" as we call it in our native Hausa Language is a game which follows the format of football.

The Players.

The players consist bottled soft drinks crowns (pepsi, 7up etc) and sometimes mentholatum and robb containers. The goal keeper is usually a radio cassette

The Stadium.

The stadium is a rectangular area of about 45m long and 25m wide (when playing inside the house, we use the floor tiles for measurement) . The goal poles are made from flexible metals and rag is used as the net.

Format.

The game following the football format e.g 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 5-4-1 based on the team you are using(usually select my own favourite football team, R.Madrid).

No need for a refree or a line man.


Best game ever.
