buttchick: Naturalwaves.. identify others. I'm always and willing to learn. If only people can do so and stop rocking fake accent with bad grammar. And when you are done, tell us what pisses you off.

No dear, no need for that. They were just trying to make you see that no one is above mistakes. You have to look for people close to your class too such that even if they make mistakes, it won't be like the type our firstlady says.So, even if you want to make corrections, it will just be a minor one. If the blunders is as bad as you have painted it here, it is either you went on a date with a mechanic or you just don't know how to say NO to any date that comes your way. Maybe there is something you are not telling us.

2sExy1: igneous rock good na. You know we have 2 types of igneous rocks, the intrusive and extrusive both often coming out with fine particles or grains. I think you should term the face a metamorphic rock, one deformed in shape and size due to increased temperature and pressure.

Technical Knock Out TKO or should I say "geographical knockout"? .You guys won't kill someone.

Where is the OP? . The posters above me have done justice to the OP's "gbagauns", there is no need for me to identify others.

fairheven: And wat has a website got to do with,infrastructure,welfare,teaching-aid,security, safety and all that makes-for conducive learning environment? An u are here talkin about website?

Although, a website has got just lil to do with a school, based on all what you listed there, Funaab exceeds those things you listed.

Olamyyde: shey u dey whine ni? Yea, their students are good but is the school really that good?

I think you should go there and confirm. Funaab beats 90% of Unis in Nigeria hands down.

@OP, you are phool. That is Ebi Clement's picture (a Bayelsa runs girl) whose nude pics were flying all over. Don't even know if this story of yours is true.

Bifwoli: Germany just got lucky shot coz Argentina clearly had the better chances and dictated much of the game-fluke win for sure.If Germans are so good how come they couldn't do what they did to Portugal or Brazil and even struggled against Ghana and USA?

Sharap! What lucky shot are you talking of? I hope you are not referring to that intelligent goal by Gotze? Or was it luck that made shurle beat 2 defenders on the left with a run? Wad it luck that lifted an up through ball for him which bent for Gotze. I guess it was luck that took Gotze up to chest and control d ball well and it was luck that told him to quickly attack the ball with a pyscho kick volley. If you do not have any meaningful thing to say, go and sleep.




Moreover, in football, there is nothing like creating more chances. What matters is whether or not the ball gets to the back of the net and Germany did that. If you wanna talk about luck, then it applies to the Argentines.....lucky against Nigeria, lucky against Iran, lucky against Belgium, lucky against Netherlands( penalties). For how long were they gonna ride on luck? Coming into the finals, Germany won most matches convincingly as opposed to Argentina. They even had more than twice the number of goals Argentina scored, so, what are you talking about?

Even though you are pained Argentina lost, that is not a license to spill nonsense.

@thegoodjoehunt, please stop arguing with these guys. Their bias won't let them reason well. It is trending all over twitter and on sports websites all over that Messi doesn't doesn't deserve the award. Even in the Argie team, Di Maria and Mascherano were more valuable than Messi talkless of MVP of the tournament. Well, it is called Adidas Golden ball award and they sponsor Messi.

SicilyNaija: go and sleep u are drunk

Truth hurts. If the MVP's for this competition are listed according to order in an unbiased manner, Messi doesn't belong to the top 4. The award was just a compensation.

Messi being awarded the golden ball is a clear midnight robbery orchestrated from the round tables of FIFA and Sepp Blatter. It was already planned, they planned to give it to Messi if Argentina loses. There were a couple of better players in this world cup. Toni Kroos, arguably the best midfielder was better than messi, even Thomas Muller just to mention a few. They just wanted to protect Messi's image by giving him a kangaroo mvp award.

Contemporary jazz (Yanni Chrisomalis and co.)
Classical music ( Beethoven and co.)
New age ( Enya and co.)
Afrobeats( Fela and co.)
If I don't listen to any or all of these at least every two days, I can never feel alright.

Yanni Chrisomalis and Enya does it for me. I love classical music, contemporary jazz and new age. They are nerve relaxing and makes you reflect about the day and life generally and that takes you gradually to sleep.

madridfc: Dunno which genre to classify her songs, but I love Enya! Currently playing: Less than a pearl.

Enya's kind of genre is called "New Age". I have so many collections.

I don't know why common sense has eluded a lot of Nigerians. The OP's post is ambiguous and a lot of peeps followed in the daftness. So, if the Governor wanted to buy something, he will set multiple cameras with a handful of people watching? Or was he that hungry he couldn't send someone to get him something? If the Governor was in a public function, do you think someone hawking will be allowed to come that near? From the picture, it is most likely that the Governor is trying to demonstrate something and record the footage as well.

Nigerians and Nairalanders should try and get a brain, use your head and don't follow any trash someone writes like a mumu. I can't believe the number of e-id.iots that fell for this trash.
@OP, try another propaganda cos this is too cheap Odeinstein!

Mondisweets: i really didn't know about David Mark, I'm not Nigerian and i have never lived in Nigeria. To me Jonathan, Fashola and Dangote are what i would consider as "basics" one should at least know when it comes to Nigerian politics and business sector

If you are not a Nigerian and you know all these, then the little you know is more than enough. These shouldn't even be the basics for you as it spans way above your environment. Thumbs Up!

Mondisweets: I didn't know abt him until I followed this thread

*winks nose* How can you, a law student not know that. Please, tell me another lie

Mondisweets: Basics to me is brief information on anything

.....On just anything? Okay.

Mondisweets: I dont read newspapers simply because im just not interested in reading them, it has nothing to do with intellectual laziness, i simply just dont read the newspaper. I prefer watching debates, news, documentaries, reality shows and movies.

The sources you mentioned are enough to get updated. It doesn't necessarily have to be Newspapers. At least you listen to news, that's still okay.Most ladies do not. Moreover, you don't sound like someone that falls into such categories like the one the OP was complaining about. You seem to be informed or you don't know who David Mark is too?

Mondisweets: I do enough reading with the 100s of court cases and Acts that are constantly shoved in my face every semester.

Wow! We got a Lawyer in the house! I get your points. In my own time, it was all about writing computer programs that will take away your appetite if you aren't getting it and a whole lot of mathematics too but one still nneeds to find that lil time out of no time to get updated. Cheers!

longshanks23: To buttress OP's point, how many ladies have commented on this thread?
Check it out.

Mondisweets: My point being what you consider to be the basics is not what someone else considers to be basics

Funny you. Basics as use in the context of this thread has to do with our immediate environment with respect to some areas of study. E.g when you talk about Geography, you should at least know that Nigeria is a West African country, you should know some neighbours, you should know our states and their locations (maybe North, East etc), you should know the top citzens . When you talk about Literature, you should be familiar with some common names like, Wole Soyinka, JP Clark, Chinua Achebe etc. It won't be a bad idea to know some of their works also.Same thing applies to politics, you should know what is trending politically, at least have an idea. When you talk about movies, you should know what Nollywood is and so on and so forth in all other aspects too. That is what is meant by basic knowledge. No one is asking you to be a Don in everything but at least make efforts. I am lagging in some of the aspects but at least, I do make efforts to upgrade from time to time.

Moreover, a regular reading of Newspapers is enough to give at least an overview of current affairs and current trendings that will be useful during discussions. Inability to read the Newspapers too is not and cannot be due to lack of interest but intellectual laziness. Anyone that reads the Newspapers regularly (daily or weekends) will not fumble when general discussions arise. You get my drift?
Now, what's your own definition of basics?

Mondisweets: I'm assuming you are not AWARE that Jane Austen is one of the most acknowledge 19th Century novelists in English Literature

Did u even take the time to check who Jane Austen is before ranting? So simply you have no knowledge of who she was and what she did and why I would spend a great deal of time on her work, that makes me worse than a boring lady?

Mondi, you need to scroll through the previous pages to see my posts on this thread. There is a difference between 'special interest' and 'basics'. If you do not like football, that is not enough reason not to know Stephen Keshi or at least the NFA and what they do. That's a basic for a Nigerian but only those with some form of special interest will know Gareth Bale, Hazard and the likes. Basics and Awareness refers majourly but not limited to your environment. If you do not know who David Mark or GEJ is, I will classify you as not being informed. You can't expect everyone to know your Austeen and her published works cos you have interest in that field but most people should know who Williams Shakespear is when you talk about Literature.

Mondisweets: My points being other people may know bits and basics on other matters other than the ones you know.

Yes, they may know bits and basics on other matter than the one I know but not to an extent of not being able to carry out a good convo or asking silly questions all the time like who is David Mark? Or who is Sambo? Or who is Chinua Achebe etc.
What's your point exactly? Are you trying to say that everyone should entirely stick to only things they are interested in and not try to have a general knowledge?

Mondisweets: I doubt there is anything wrong with dedicating your time to know about these things...you can learn how to keep you hair healthy, appropriate make up for certain occasions, how to maintain a smooth skin... I can spend all day repeating movies based on Jane Austen's novels.

No one is asking you not to dedicate your time to things you like doing. The key point is "awareness" of what is going on around you.One should always find time to know the bits. Moreover, you being able to dedicate a whole day to movies shows you cannot schedule your time properly and you are getting addicted. That even sounds worse than a boring lady ( a discussion for another day).

Mondisweets: Simply because someone else has more knowledge in a field completely different from yours doesn't make them unintelligent or boring.

You have missed the point. The issue is not about having more knowledge or being an authority. It is just about knowing the bits and the basics which I believe everyone should strive to achieve.

Mondisweets: Some of the people you mock may be much more informed on how to keep yourself in shape and how to eat healthy. Which is vital if one expects to live longer.

Being more informed in some aspects is not a problem as no one can know it all. The example you gave is not a general knwoledge and no one can be castigated for not knowing that. We are talking of BASICS. At least, something that can kick start a convo.

Caracta: God bless you. I particularly love your conclusion and your explanation of 'grasp and specificity'. Makes sense. I agree with you. Beats down the arguments here that once you can't answer a question, you are automatically dumb or boring. Thanks a lot.

If you had actually taken your time to read through the posts, you would have seen this point earlier on. No one will place a tag on you if you cannot answer some questions but that does not apply to some basics like the David Mark example the OP gave. That you even know him does not show intelligence, it only shows awareness. Intelligence itself would be found out in the course of a discussion. If you can't explain in a single sentence, his role as a Senate president (even if it is just one) then you will come across as not being intelligent. You might not like football too but you should know what NFA does.

Wislet: I don't know what you people are talking about.

@post, I think it's a 'supposed to' thing for a citizen to be aware of what's happening around him/her. Ignorance is no bliss....it's danger. When yo are asked to run, you will not because you do not listen to the news, you don't care to know the recent happenings in your state and the country at large.

It's good to have a little knowledge about every sector of the economy.

How can a person comfortably stay in a cocooned world...you only sleep, wake, eat, go to work, watch movies/music, probably gossip and that's it. Our idea of news these days(for some) is gossip and rumour mongering.

Read the papers, watch the news, engage in intelligent conversations...be interested in your country's politics and governance...if you aren't, who is supposed to do so for you? Who is going to tell the leaders what you want and keep them accountable?

It's little wonder young man and women of today do not have the interest to read long 'epistles'. You keep hearing, ''Oooh...who do you expect to read all that? Pls summarize'', etc.
Young people? If it were the older generation, one would understand. But young people with energy, clear eyes, sharp intellect, to see reading as a chore is unbelievable.

I like politics...could talk about it on and on...the banking sector, the infamous letters, the party games, Nigeria's geographical distribution and history, the war in South Sudan, Egypt uprising and so on.

It's good to know not only your surroundings, but about others too.

Even the Late Nelson Mandela asked the Nigerian officia who went to pay him a private visit if the apartheid story and Nigeria's contributions and help to South Africa and other nations weren't taught in Nigerian schools..... I can imagine the reaction of some students if that were to happen. Some would probably ask, ''How is this supposed to help me pass my exams/Can this put food on my table?'', and so on.

Yet, these are the supposed to be 'leaders of tomorrow'. How can you do better than your predecessors if you have zero inkling on the errors of yesteryears? How can you improve on what you do not know?

We need to change our mentality- as men and as women. The change you so cry and condemn others for could be in your hands tomorrow to effect. Would you do better if given the mantle NOW?

Exactly! Your post is very reasonable and I don't need to be told that you are indeed intelligent. If most ladies can dedicate half of the time they dedicate to gossips, movies, hairdos and make up into knowing some little basics, they won't come across as unintelligent or boring or not being current.

captcochrane: nd i guess u tink u're intelligent?
U google it and tel me d answer now
Some of u guys assume u cerebrate at d same level with others, dt's a level of unintelligence

moreover, i asked d guy because he tinks he knows everything

he who does not know, {is not a f.o.o.l} nd thinks he knows {is a compd.......}

Yes, I am intelligent. I have googled it and the answer to your question is "ABIKU". J.P Blark released his in 1965 while Wole Soyinks released his in 1967. Finding results through google itself takes intelligence and some little researches not a direct typing of questions. Now that the answer has been googled, do you now agree that you are not intelligent?

captcochrane: so u tink u know everything?

Wole shoyinka nd j.p clark wrote a poem {separately} d same title; wat's dt poem, mr know all

Asking this question already shows that you are not intelligent because if you are, you will know that the answer can easily be googled. So, I am no longer surprised that you don't understand the points we are trying to pass across.

Moreover, the question you asked is not a basic question. It has to do with special interest not basics. One might not know the answer but at least, one should know who Wole Soyinka is. Some girls will still ask you who he is.

[quote author=Mynd_44]It makes her boring to you dude. To her if you can't discuss the Spring collection of Luis vuitton, you are probably boring too. Or if you have not seen the latest Nollywood movie you are boring.

You can't use your standard on everyone[/quote]Listen dude, the Spring collection of whatever you call it is not a basics. Okay? Apart from basics, there are special interests. Special interests are different from basics.A girl who doesn't know the no 3 man of the Federation is dull and not intelligent. No one is saying you must be a current affairs Aficionado and know every Governor or everything. No, that's not the point. There are just some basics you must know and the examples you are giving don't follow. Apart from knowing names, some girls can't even do simple analysis of issues irrespective of the topics concerned, they just look on like a dummy. Some don't even know the basic things about themselves like ovulation period and all, some will tell you to break down your grammar when talking with them. If I like football, I don't expect a girl to necessarily do same and I don't expect her also to know who Gareth Bale is but she should know that Mikel Obi plays football for Nigeria, she should know what NFA is. If she doesn't know the meaning, she should know that it is the body that controls football in Nigeria and so on. These are the basics. I can't stand a girl asking stewpid questions all the time, I can't stand a dummy that you will take out and she won't be able to say anything meaningful, that's a complete turn off.

troy20: you dont get it this man.there are some basics of life that arent restricted to a gender.the senate president, david mark should be a common knowledge to an adult lady who saw the four walls of even a secondary school

You are on a long thing if you are trying to convince Mynd, he is always half witted when it comes to any issue involving women, always on the defensive side even when such is senzeless, more or less like a woman wrapper.

vislabraye: OP, U are speaking this way because the girl is not fine or probably she's not classy !! But when U see a superhot chick, U will have a different mindset. Seduction is also an art.

Sighs! Don't you get the point? Being seduced is not all about beauty, class, super hot bla bla bla. If you just get seduced by any gurl cos she has the above listed points you mentioned, then you seem like a weakling emotionally. Don't get me wrong, not saying being seduced is not possible but for some us, it is impossible except if we want to allow it irrespective of the type of gurl involved.

Moreover, a lot of you have been reciting the line, "Seduction is an Art". If it is, what's the big deal? I don't see much of the relevance of that line to this context.Is seduction the only Art?

carammel: You had a wrong assumption. I wasn't even interested in the topic seduction. What captured me was when he wrote that his ex sleeps with an older man for money and she is classy (trying to link the fact that she sleeps with a senator to high class). Just that point alone by him and not other people's comment. Classy girls in the real sense of it are those that work for what they own and not those that depend on one senator or minister to look classy.
No i didn't mean that the real classy girls know how to seduce a man or will seduce him when he meets them. They don't even need to seduce a man,their aura speaks for them

Yeah, my point exactly and that was why I asked the question. I get your points perfectly.
@Bolded, it then means that our in house seduction Pros are classless ladies.

carammel: Sometimes you need to read well and comprehend before jumping into a matter.
I didn't address his original topic 'seduction',i didn't write anything on that. Go and start from where i quoted him.
Thanks.

Lolz.I know you didn't say anything on the original topic. You only adressed the part he talked about his ex girl dating a senator and so on. I think you need to go back and re read all the posts as well. Something lead the OP into bringing up that issue, it was because some people accused him of not rolling with classy girls that he needs to try them out d see another variant of seduction. The OP on the other hand was trying to show that falling for seduction has nothing to do with the class of the person involved..You quoting that section and asking him to try out some classy girls in the real sense of it means that when he does, he will have a rethink about his view and fall for the classy ones even though that may not be what you intended and that was why I typed that question cos of that possibility. It is a harmless question.

carammel: Thafu*ck did you just write? Your girlfriend's sleeping with a mothereffing SOB all for money and that makes her classy? You need a re-orientation pal,try get close to classy girls in the real sense of it and not some refined 'aristos'

......And which classy girl in the real form of it is a Pro at seduction? You don't seem to be making the kind of sense you want to show. Do you?

What is the objective function in any seduction process? The basics is to get down at the end of the day. I see some fatuous ladies claiming to be Pros at seduction .We should be careful of the kind of things we say. Even if you are so loose and you have got a good CV with respect to seduction, it will be good to just keep mute when necessary. Thank God, He didn't put a meter on womanliness. Some would have been so ravaged such that the meter will be about to exceed the limit.

The topic was meant to be fun until it turned otherwise.
Well, the truth is, not everyone can be seduced and not everyone lacks mind controlling skills. As for me, I cannot be seduced except if I want to or if I am indifferent to the situation and yes! Nothing happens to me or any part of my body without my permission, if you like have a Ph.d degree in seduction or be the classiest chic that ever liveth.

@OP, yes! I have been seduced before but none ever worked because I was not in sync with the persons involved, so, it was impossible.
