We see what we want to see.

The world is looking for pioneers, not those that would fit an existing pattern.

I asked you a question, what does "fair" have to do with this conversation

Im telling you that the uniform is making them look somehow youre talking pioneer

MedicH:
ok so they don't look good according to your own manner of standards. so what now? kill them? na u and that guy be the problem with this our society

Ogbuefi, I am telling you that as I am using my eyes to look at them, they do not look good. Who said anybody should kill them? Stop exaggerating.

Na you be the problem oh, people like you like making excuses for iniquity. Thats why our country wont move forward...seeing black and calling it white smh

RTSC:
Looking at it logically, they look good.
Fair looking chubby damsels on cultural outfits.

If you remove your mentality from slim tall bimbos you are used to, you would see that they look good.

They dont necessarily need to be slim. But in this case the shape is not rhyming with the cut of the uniform

Its you who has a bad mentality. Who mentioned anything about "fair" here Pot calling kettle black.

Lol.

I want to know, does her own mother do that when she comes over? Thats just the key to this issue.

What an id!iot, so they married you without you knowing how to host a guest in your home. Your mother who washed your plate when you were a baby should come and start washing your plate again..crazy people everywhere

Though I dont have a problem with that one-weeks notice, that is a simple courtesy that allows a host to prepare for your arrival.

MedicH:
who be this one? Look good? in what basis? how better do u look?

I dont have to look better than them to be able to tell that they dont look good. however if you think they do, we are both entitled to our opinions

Fuckgovt:
I guess the mid night have blinded ur eye. Mr midnighter.

And the government must have blinded yours! Rogue!

RTSC:
I didn't see your pics.

If you were half as good looking, your pics would have decorated nairaland.

You dont have to be good looking to be able to tell if somebody else looks good. Thats an illogical fallacy

Stop being sentimental and look at the situation objectively. They do not look good!

greatbrian:
Like I said, we are just helping the government by stealing books from the library. Nobody z reading them there and the librarian are nonchalant about caring for this treasures so we help them do the job. Hopefully some days when I die and my library z been checked they would gv me some award for having more precious historical books than the major libraries

Yeah but it depends on which one you visit. Some of them are very nice

Yes some of those librarians are crazy lol. Im sure they havent even paid them and thats why they act like that

MedicH:
how many of ur sisters can look one inch close to how adorable these ladies look? degenerate scallywag

They dont look good, thats just the truth.

Iscoalarcon:
nice outfits but the air hostesses look old and below average in terms of their look which is against the norms of the industry

they are not old but have a bad diet. Not as slim and vibrant looking as we usually see stewards from other airlines

greatbrian:
Maybe some days Nigeria will be great again and I might be a colonial ruler or smfin. Coz I feel somewhere in this world are still some folks hiding in some bush who are yet to have a country or so they just live in a niche etc. The movie Apocalypse fuelled my imagination of this though

Lol you will re-colonise Nigeria, one stolen book at a time...

kingxsamz:
As usual.
It's always someone that said.

Well somebody here wrote that they saw the piano keys playing themselves and still he was mocked. So you people will always believe what you want to believe

greatbrian:
Was he a traitor because he fought with the Federal troops? Don't forget he wasn't the only Igbo officers who had an allegiance to the federal troop. Though after kano massacre and all officers were to leave for their home states, some few officers still remained in the north Olusegun obasanjo and don't forget during the war, Chief justice Dr MI okpara, Dr Pius Okigbo, Chief Ekukinam, sir Louis Mbanefo and kalu still met Obasanjo in owerri for a meeting would you consider them traitors as well? And ifeajuna who was so loyal want to came of him? Kaduna nzeogwu has been a role model to me even before I joined the military what I came of him? This was a man loved and idolised by men of the Nigerian army and after he was released from jail prior to civil war he had the chance to join the federal forces again but he decided to allign with Biafra. What became of him? Even Ben gbulie and the rest.

Sorry for this I felt Biafra war was uncalled for and Ojukwu had alterior motives its not just about the war but he had some selfish ambition to fulfil. Were u aware he sworn he won't back down till his last drop of blood but when the federal forces besieged him he handed over to Maj Gen Effiong and passed the back door with his family out of nigeria?

Can you please modify this and make it clearer? I cant really understand the point youre making

If Nzeogwu joined biafra, then according to someone on the biafran side like my dad, he wouldnt be a traitor. But according to you, he would. Isnt that how military conflict works?

I had that Ben Gbulies book as well but I didnt finish it

greatbrian:
Take me to school charming. So are you saying am thinking the colonial masters way.... And that means some days.... Well lemme stop hallucinating before folks here take me for OP

Lol it means what

greatbrian:
Wow..... I guess I came across his name in the MY COMMAND by olusegun obasanjo during the liberation of orlu or so. Meanwhile your dad doesn't like me coz he fought for the federal force or what?... and by the way you should consider a career in been a curator.

Yeah he said he was a traitor. I was curious as to why so I decided to read it

Thanks... it would be nice but the problem with curator, librarian, agents and jobs like that is that they are less stable than science-related jobs. Once they cut your funding, you are finished

KingAzubuike:
She stealing your money and you're complaining means you ain't ripe enough for marriage yet. it's normal for your wife to take your money.. if she wants to wash your clothes and she feels her hands into the pocket ad see some naira inside what do you expect her to do? Return it to you? Abeg na normal thing in most niaja couples.

Lol that is true actually.

But stealing some loose change from your pocket is different from scheming to steal serious amounts from him

Lies......dead man tells no tale

When my classmates father died she said she saw him passing in front of their house the same day

greatbrian:
Whose point of view did he write from

He was a captain for the Nigerian army so he told from it Nigerias perspective

I dont know why my dad even kept the book in the house since he hated the guy

greatbrian:
Gaskia that z the only way I can get my part from the dividends of democracy. And again z not as if they have use for the book so I help them maintain it inside my own library

Thats the exact reason the colonialists give for refusing to return our Benin bronzes and masks worth billions of naira, hope you know that??

greatbrian:
Sunset in Biafra was by Elechi Amadi right? I didnt get to read it. All of them were speculating since I saw the full account why we struck I let go of all stories of the civil war. Right now am on my command by OBJ and the book has been worth my time. I started yesterday Ceteris paribus I should finish today

Yes by Elechi Amadi. It was an interesting book...it had been lying around my house for years and I one day I decided to read it

greatbrian:
HaVe read there was a country. Seriously I will tell you to find WHY WE STRUCK. D copy I had I stole from a library in osun state and another copy I bought was pirated all thanks to our Igbo brothers. (I know u r 1). But you should read the boom it was a direct account of it from one of the perpetrator.

Lol why do you keep stealing from the library? Its not fair now

Okay, I will look for it.

NairalandDoctor:
[b]About using black people picture, in medical profession we have what we called the Consent form before you take any pictures or video for educational purpose the Paitient need to sign showing his agreement and acknowledgement if not once he sue you your license will be seized and you will be convicted for bridging of privacy.

Exactly.

But scientists, doctors, medical administrators, medical lawyers and sociologists are supposed to have started doing all that by now.

Especially if you pay the patient for the photo, they would even tell you snap their whole body sef

(you forgot to thank the person who opened up this discussion)

greatbrian:
You are wise. I really need to get to bed headache already and judging by your moniker, NO SLEeP for you. Catch you some other days

Lol and you too..good night

greatbrian:
I feel the book A General theory of oblivion is vague. Jose Eduardo is a Portuguese woman she can't tell the story like its from the horse mouth. Have read many books about the Nigerian civil war. But the major one I love and found useful most was by adewale ademoyega one of the coup plotters

What was vague about it? He really captured the chaotic nature of turbulent African countries in his storytelling

He is actually Angolan of Portuguese heritage. He was a teenager at the time of the war of independence

I had a lot of those kind of books at home but didnt read all of them...I guess youve read There was a Country and Sunset in Biafra?

greatbrian:
Hv read that and I think I still have the hardcopy I stole from a library. I also read why we struck by adewale ademoyega, and many more books about African civil war etc.

Presently am enjoying my command by Olusegun obasanjo.

Talking about David and Goliath by galdwell. I think the book isnjust focused on a lopsided conflicts – where the underdog battles through and wins against the odds. But in real life, we often mis-read the odds. The book z good etc. But I feel its not practicable

I really enjoyed that book...it was kind of sad though how that woman just ended up wasting away for so many years. Recently I have been avoiding those topics but that book brought it back to life for me

Is it his autobiography? I have only read Bill clintons AB but i dont really trust the writing of all those people. At times I feel they are somewhat insincere

I think David and Goliath is just trying to get us to see the bigger picture and not limit ourselves. Not that we should be illogical and careless with our lives but that we should consider taking a risk if its for our betterment.

greatbrian:
Y u so interested in mad men novels. Hmmm. And for the records hv read two of those books. The man who mistook his wife for a hat. And Adjustment Day.

Really? What did you think?

I didnt know there was going to be a madman in The Fishermen lol. But I do get interested in things concerning the brain

greatbrian:
I came across the fishermen but I must confess I just passed when I saw a Nigerian author

Hahaha Why! Thats terrible, the man is a very talented writer

There is also "A General Theory of Oblivion" by Jose Eduardo Agualusa about the Angolan war of independence. A stunning piece of writing

Those are not too much to ask apart from Number 27...which one be you must not laff too much

Being a cheerful person is a nice attribute

greatbrian:
Ohhh. Selling point or buying point I guess there z a stereotype that comes with been a lady and most of the female folks ain't helping matters.

You read interesting. I love reading too you care to share some books you've read. And the ones u like best

Its a stereotype but its fuelled by guys who keep the demand for such things high

Hmm! What a question. Well at the moment I am reading "The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat" by Oliver Sacks. Its about the case studies of people who had different brain disorders...the author is a neurologist

Then "David and Goliath" by Malcolm Gladwell, about different situations where people overcame obstacles and hardship

I read "The Fishermen" by Chogizie Obioma a few months ago...it was captivating and also had a mentally ill character full of funny revelations like OP

And "Adjustment Day" by Chuck Palahniuk about a fictional revolution caused by an excess of young men in the world... the "youth bulge" . Though I didnt finish that one, it was still pretty interesting

greatbrian:
Seriously I just checked your moniker and I released am been on with a female. Well I guess not all ladies selling point z their ass and bra. Coz I feel u r kinda intelligent a bit (I might be wrong). Are u a psychologist or smfin similar coz I feel your assertions about him might be right

But trust Nairaland in this Buhari regime we only look at the bright side and funny side of life

Lol is it our selling point or you people's buying point?

Thanks, no I am not a psychologist but I read a lot. I will be interested to see what he writes next time

Yes its good that we take things on a light-hearted note but some of our joking no be here

greatbrian:
I'd say a joke taking to far. But the guy will make a good writer. I admire his madding skills

I think he really does feel some of these things and he is trying to release some psycho-sexual tension by pouring everything out on an anonymous platform.

But he is mixing truth with fiction/jokes to relieve himself, so it looks like he is not serious when he is actually expressing some of the things on his mind.

greatbrian:
Seriously you are on point with the first 20 comments. I will be waiting for the day you will size up with the first 20 comments

Lol I no fit ooo Those people are truly a bunch of mental disasters

greatbrian:
You work in a psychiatric hospital?.. You seem very close to the behavioural attitude of mad folks. Is there something you ain't telling that's BTW u and Op or what am I missing

Hahaha

I am so interested in him like seriously... I am 50% sure he is just some guy sitting in his office somewhere, pulling our legs

Anyway if you read any front Page topic you will see some real mad people in the first 20 comments
