Aww can't believe you'd talk down on Craig

aww, shweedie don't cwy naw! i can't help it that he just bothers me in that role , will it make you feel better if i shift blame for not liking casino royal to the Bond girl chosen? the whatzerface with the cadaverous green hue and mismatched red lipstick? hmm? how bout i say the movie sucked beause of her, and it wasn't Lurch's fault at all

DewDrop's last comment is hilarious!

I watch the show, am entertained by it, but gaddemn those children + their parents have something wrong with their heads o! thats how one olodo was wanting Beyonce to come and perform at her birthday, as in, even if the parents can afford it, it is stupidity to spend so extravagantly on a party. Extravagant spending on a party is only acceptable when it's for publicity/advertising kind of things, like fashion show after parties and so on, where they can be regarded as investements.

But buying your spoilt brat of a kid a range rover sport? no be winsh be dat? which story will i tell my father that will make him gimme that kind of thing as 16th bday present? even if a car must be given, what happened to the VW bug ehn? , and then the kids are so rude to their parents! as if they owe them the party or sumn, try and pull that kind of stunt with a Naija parent and see if you'll celebrate any birthday until youre fifty

Caro!! if thats the right name, it's been a while.The character ireti Doyle plays, and speakin of Ireti, that wife that is perpetually pregnant too and Ola, the daughter that likes to gossssssssssip! and Peace, the way she swings her arm around when she wants to fight ehnnn!

Donnie Brasco, Scarface, The Godfather, and Shottas (some Jamaican wannabe gangster movie that i have an unhealthy liking for)

Sean Connery hands down!! Pierce Brosnan tried, and i came to be able to accept Roger Moore after a while.

Daniel Craig i cannot stand at all! dude is built like some kain farmer/labourer, all wrong for the James Bond character imho*but even then, he isn't the worst, i can't remember the name of the worst, but he was the one in "On her Majesty's secret service", Gaddemn that dude was awful, what with the ravine in his chin, blech!

*When i say all wrong for the character, i think Lafile explains it right, he is all wrong for the character of 007 on screen whom we have come to love/accept whatever, it's like, aside from the books, the movies have a whole tradition of their own, and Daniel Craig just doesn't have "it"

The Godfather, Scarface, and Shottas (have no idea why i like this movie so much!), the Devil's advocate,Constantine, cool runnings, and two typically TCM movies that i absolutely love, Buddy Buddy, and something funny happened on the way to the forum

Sandra Oh!!(Christina Yang) chai, she's special! that expressionless look on her face is priceless!

Chandra Wilson (Dr.Bailey) because she is the most badasssssssss woman there!

i cannot stand Meredith one little bit!! argh!(plus her mother who is even worse) and The Izzie character is just so, only God knows what the deal is with her

I'm kind of amused by the Addison Shepherd character, can't say i hate her or anything,

the Topic says "actress" so i'l refrain from declaring how cute i thought the "Denny" character was, and McSteamy too

Don't watch it anymore though, their issues got too irritating to bear jare, on and on, around and around, misery upon misery,

hehe, last i saw, she was Caroline Danjuma??!, saw it in one newspaper, she's rather pretty though, let nobody stone me o, but Omotola, for instance is still better looking(erm, shun skin tone and the bleaching/no bleaching thing),and Lilian Bach is foiner than her , even if she can't act to save her life, Genevive is also above her,  but the girl try shaaaaa

@FunnyB, nah, it's not her inthat movie, it's some Ghanian chick, can't remember her name right now, but she is going through the phase of acting every single movie with Van Vicker, kind of like when RMD won't possibly be seen in a movie without Stella :d

hmm, we are talking 2D things here ehn?that one is your problem! i am including some 3D ones jare, i cannot mention lion King and Jungle book and little mermaid them here, because those things make me cry like nonsense, so i avoid them

Mulan!!!(reflections, the song by Christina A is amazing!! and yea, mushu is friggin hilarious!, Mulan remains the most quoted animation among my siblings "guard to Mushu :who are you?? Mushu: your worst nightmare!", hehe.i have to go and watch it again!)

Secrets of the Sands and Maria de los Angeles, kai, i was like 6? 7? when they were on, every evening, me and my parents will be watching like nothing else matters, LOL! good times

ademiller:
Oh Jerry


Go to ur balcony and look at the sun


dumb dumber dumbest MT advert

^^ the "Oh Jerry" ad managed to annoy everyone i know in some way , but for me it's the kind of thing that's mad annoying, and yet very amusing at the same time, so i can't say i hate it,

Lemme start with the one that irks the nonsense out of me, there's this Tetmosol ad where two couples are playing tennis, and i think one is loosing, then they go inthe shower, and do one kain overjoyful soaping up +dancing and smiling like they won the lottery, then they go back to play, and obviously, life is perfect, arghhhhh!!!! ]

That fayrouz ad, yuck! "meet the blonde" ke? what sort of drugs was the creative department on whenthey came up with that? or they were payed to sabotage? because blonde hair + black chicks is NOT a good look!

Delta soap ads are like, eh? lol, theres one that the chick gets on a bus and practically causes accident, tsk tsk!

Then the almighty drug ads and their funny ass groaning and moaning that are immediately eradicated cuaz of the drug,

Detergent ad's where some woman appears to have tolerance beyond human capability, to be watching her husband and son playing football in MUD as if they have no home training, then she will now come and be shining 32 again, LOL

The coca cola "brr" concept, i still cannot understand the sense behind,

One tea mate Ad where some kid feeds a blind man bread, it was just a dissapointing ad

it's all good though, they keep us entertained, no?

@Tipsydude, so, the requirements mentin that a private license is okay to join the cadet program, and in reply to IVY, you said that even if you come in as an experienced pilot, you will still be retrained by virgin. My question is this, so if i have a private licence, and go in the Cadet program, I could get the CPL from there??

@Wham, abi? i realy think it's a good thing,

@Ivy, nah, i saw your post the night before naw, not to mention that i've never submitted any such application forms, and have no idea how to go about it, when you say train you to be one of their pilots, do you mean without even prior experience?? anywho, be kind enough to update those of us who have no clue about these things whenever you hear about them!

*cough* *cough*, e be like say the poster dey wed people without their knowledge or consent o!hehe,

@ biddyshegs, yea, i read that she is mixed race, half russian, what half exactly, i cannot say ;P

that being said, the child will be foine o! daddy is a hottie, and the mama sef no carry last

i might be biased at this very moment, but i'm in love with Obiwon's Onyinye, the song is too brilliant! :d

and Dare's "original Naija" always gets me,

and anything and everything, no matter how silly, that D'banj has done

Asa's Bibanke is very good too

Faze's tattoo girls and Faze alone is a classsssic!

and probably a bunch of others i can't remember, chai, i too sabi cry over song ooo!

hmm, for me o, the first Naija vid that had me impressed was p-square's "get squared", i remember seeing it and noting that i was impressed,

Thats my own sha, maybe if i watched more avidly, something else might have caught my eye, but you have to admit that at the time, that vid was ahead of its peers

For the past week, it's been Obiwon's Onyinye, i LOVE that song!!!

and then tokio hotel's "through the monsoon"

Ashanti's "good good"

my computer + ipod go soon swear for me, the way those things have been on repeat ehnn,

*heaves huge sigh of relief* *jumps up and down in excitement*, so i'm not alone? for the longest time, TuFace's vid's have been one of my pet peeves, for a "star" of his kind, they are just very dissapointing, made up to no standard whatsoever, right from time, even Faze's videos have been way better than his. ah, is it that he is too toght fisted to fund the budget for a proper video? or the people he works with no like am? are not able to come up with decent concepts? what!

it's rather sad, so much noise is made about him, and his videos are the sorriest among his class, P-Squared, Faze, Naeto C, D'banj, and even Timaya of recent have better videos than he does, it's just not right! make person tell am o!

lol, the one that makes me go wtf? is the Ole video, i like that song a whole lot, but the video leaves the world to be desired! the true love vid also raises eyebrows,

foye57:
@m.i
that was nice post u got there.i totally agree with u.nice one!

aww thanks!!! just being honest, ya kno?

@Ghettochyk, lol, thank God i'm not alone, i cringe everytime i hear someone say it that way, the funniest part is that they usually say it when they are trying to speak "proper" English, *shakes head in dissapointment*

ooh, i remembered another one, "dozbin",

@Ivy, true word, you guys have inspired me here, you especially, not many girls are interested in being pilots at all, so it's really helpful to me to see a girl that not only wants to be one, but is actually doing something about it.

So physics is there huh? it's all good, i can face it if i need to

lol, yep, we are indeed sisters tribally, you're already making us proud, gimme a year and i'll join you!

now, for me, being that i'm all green and a novice, can you explain the whole cadet thingy in detail? what exactly is it being a cadet pilot

lmfao @ that Seun's comment that Convenant uni is the best secondary school in Naija, words more true are yet to be spoken

WOW, i love this thread! it's using idea to rekindle my dream of becoming a pilot, theres nothing i've wanted to be as much as a pilot, it's not about the pay, it's just the whole being in control thing, gave up on it because well, i'm terrified of physics (should i be??!) and people keep telling me that i'm not being practical, so i just squashed it,

But with IVY4U here giving me hope, and making it seem not so impossible, i think i could actually do it!

@IVY4U and PILOT955 who seems to have dissapeared, i'm noticing some kind of pattern here o! what is it with Isoko people and flying naw? haba, my dad is Isoko!!!! and thus so am i ;d

@RDV, whoa, you are an amazing human being! lol, you have been so informative and helpful!, if i go on with the whole thing, i'll definitely be hunting you down or advice!!

last question to all of you, how important is physics in the whole thing?

how person go take pronounce name for nairaland? , the very fact that the pronounciation is up for debate indicates that the differences are subtle, na typing go sort person out?

and the first one sounds more, correct

LOL @ this thread, there are plenty of them! let me try and recollect,

"leda" or "paperbag" (as one word!!) to mean a polyethene bag, or just plain wataproof

"It's a lie!", when someone tells you something shocking

"bic" for pen

Hummer Jeep, prado Jeep, Honda Jeep, it's only they that know when all these companies merged with Jeep

"his dress was/is fine", no comment

"if i KONK you ehn!", meaning knock on the head

"don't ax me anything!", is ASK so hard to pronounce?

"Silpas" for slippers

"Umblerra" for Umbrella

"oyi" for Oil

"where went you?", had a teacher that insisted this was proper, argh!

"are you on line?" said to me by some guy, apparently he was asking for my phone number,

hearing of smells, eg. i can hear the way the stew is scenting

"Handset" for mobile phone

and this one is an intonation thing, but let me try, maybe someone will understand,

when introducing themselves they go, mAI Nem is Emeka, with the "My" acquiring an ascending tone, it irritates me silly!

then "krokrosh" for cockroach

"tea" to represent every beverage under the sun

Butter abi it's "bottah" when they mean margarine

another one that comes up during introductions, "i am Andrew by name"

hmmmmm, personally, i'd like to raise my children in Naija, because i know firsthand about how it is. My reason is mostly because of the social aspect, because unlike in America or the UK, respect is still very much encouraged in the Nigerian society, there is some kind of behavioural code that is the norm, you know what i mean? like, there is no way a nigerian child will see his friends father and say "hi peter!", ah, the pikin wan wound? those kinds of things might seem insignificant to some people, but i'd very much like my children to be raised having those kinds of moral values. So, if there is another country or continent out there where it is encouraged, then no wa

hahahahaha, the funny thing is that i always manage to know that a person is Nigerian, and i can't point out what gives them away, maybe we have a special Naija person sensor? lol

Apart from the accent, there is a way Naija people act, one kain confidence in the way they walk and sit and whatever, and then the facial expressions, There are some kind of eyebrow raises and mouth movements that are quintessentially Nigerian!

"when monkey wear canvas enter town, una go know say im get plan"
