Baby Jinx:
LOL! Parents of toddlers are so funny.

Okay, you say he rearranges your furniture. . . how so? Does he have a particular pattern or order he wants things? For instance, does he arrange by color or by size? What you should be worried about is what is he trying to express, You'll be surprised to know how geniuses started.

Please don't stiffle his creativity and genius ooh.

About the remote control, don't ask for it. . . just pick up something else, something YOU want him to have and pay attention to that thing. Gush over it, make a big deal over it. . . soon he's going to want that, then you make a production about not giving to him, even tell him to go play with the remote control, while you play with what you have. When you do give it to him, do it grudgingly. The goal is to make the remote control as unattractive to him as possible. Do this a few times and trust me, your remote control will be yours in no time.

Reverse Psychology Baby! You have no idea how many things I've gotten children to do using that method. The power is yours. . . use it wisely. 

Good Luck.

Great answer!

Boy shocked after man powers up campaign sign

Caught On Tape: Duo Stealing Obama Signs
Play Video Video: Across America FOX News Play Video Video: Caught on Tape: Obama campaign sign thief AP AP – Pedestrians walk along a sidewalk that is lined with dozens of election signs in front of a early voting … CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Shawn Turschak of Chapel Hill was tired of someone stealing McCain-Palin campaign signs from his yard. Turschak, with a degree in electrical engineering, hooked up a third sign to a power source for an electric pet fence Monday and also put up a surveillance camera.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that a 9-year-old boy with an Obama-Biden sign grabbed the McCain-Palin sign and got a jolt on Tuesday.

The boy's father, Andrew Noble, upset that his son had been shocked, showed up at Turschak's door. Soon an Orange County sheriff's deputy also showed up at the Turschak's home.

Noble said his son just wanted to see how the sign was put together. Turschak said the boy intended to swap out the signs.

Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass said he doesn't plan to file charges.

Nimshi:
Are you sure?

JWs do not deny that Jesus Christ was resurrected.

At 1st Corinthians 15:42 - 44:

JWs hold that the resurrection was physical, but that the 'body' was different, being spiritual.
.

Yeah, they do deny the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I am not making it up, that was one of the sole reason why I refused to join the group, otherwise, I would have fallen hook line and sinker to their deceit. The Holy Bible has clearly stated that the next coming of Jesus Christ will be visible, so the 1914 claim of His second coming by JW clearly contradicts the teachings of the Holy Bible.

P:S: I am not a perfect human being.

And what about the JW's claim that only 144,000 people will go to heaven? Is anybody familiar with this false doctrine of theirs?

Racism/Apartheid. Publicize these bigotry to the media house before we become the next south africa.

JW claim that Jesus Christ came in 1914, right, thereby contradicting this Biblical Verse:

"Behold, He cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they that pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over Him. Even so, Amen."

Revelation 1:7

PS: Stay away from JW. I almost joined that group, but their denial on the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ was a turn off.

JeSoul:
There's no need to prove something that's already inherent and self-evident to every man . . . its just that some choose to deliberately 'sear of' and silence that knowledge of God that is within us all.

What's happening to Igbollywood?

By Agency Reporter

When Daar Communications launched its satellite communication, DaarSat, this year, many people applauded them for being first again. They were, after all, the first to go on DSTV.


Part of the excitement about DaarSat is that it offers more than 40 channels, among which are those dedicated to Nigerian films, popularly known as Nollywood.

A channel shows only films in which the language of communication is Yoruba, which have been nicknamed, Yorrywood.

Another of the DaarSat channels shows only Kannywood films, that is, films of the Hausa language, and that is about all they have as far as Nigerian languages and films are concerned.

One would have thought that films which language of communication is Igbo would have top the list given the fact that that ethnic group revolutionalised the Nigerian film industry in 1992 with the film, Living in Bondage, shot in Igbo language.

Well, the management of DaarSat said that could only come later as the number of films in Igbo language is very few, quite negligible and not enough to run a channel on.

Quite an irony for an ethnic group that revolutionised the Nigerian film industry.

Perhaps, that section of Nigeria is now going to take more seriously, the words of celebrated novelist, Chinua Achebe, who once warned that the language is endangered?

Yorrywood? LOLLLLLLLLL

Na wao!

That one be say grammar go full board today

bawomolo:
ewe o, we better not let jakumo get his hands/sight on this 

@emmeno, Are they any organizations in Nigeria that can rectify these abuses?

Such 'wahala' are not restricted to polygamous family, but also common in monogomous family. However, there is a greater chance of problems arising where there is more than one wife in the household.

I will like to retire to my village outside Uyo, if the Good Lord keeps me alive. Village life rocks!

I wonder why the British are so keen on supporting the Royal family for goodness sake!

Why am I not getting replies in my email account?

I doubt if that will happen in Nigeria without neighbors rallying around for their help. This goes to show you the negativity of capitalisim. Honestly, I just dont like the real estate situation in yankee. Even after paying off your mortgage, you will still have to pay property taxes till the day you die. So, really, when people extol yankee's high standard of living, I'd be blunt to tell them that it comes with a price . . . especially when you factor in stress.

In Nigerian, like in the village, you can build a mud house and live there contentedly/peacefully without worrying about property taxes and all that. Yet, you will be ridiculed for living in a 'substandard' quarters. Aint right, as my people say, "owo idoho ukem'.

AKRON, Ohio — By the time deputies came to escort Addie Polk out of her home of 38 years, the 90-year-old had taken out her life insurance policy and placed it next to her pocketbook and keys in the neatly kept house.

She shot herself in the chest Oct. 1 before she could be taken from the foreclosed house, which was worth less than its mortgage from the day she took out the loan.

A congressman called her the face of a national tragedy, the housing crisis that has affected millions of Americans. Neighbors were stunned and said they had no idea the widow had been about to lose her two-story home.

And Polk, as she recovered, sounded a bit regretful.

"She said that was a crazy thing to do," said neighbor Robert Dillon, 62, who visited her at the hospital.

Polk's cause was taken up by U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich and fueled blogs on reckless lending practices rampant during the housing boom. Fannie Mae dropped the foreclosure, forgave her mortgage and said she could remain in the home.

"You have to shoot yourself to get help," lamented neighbor Hannah Garrett, 76.

The Summit County Sheriff's Department concluded that Polk shot herself over the foreclosure, Lt. Kandy Fatheree said. A revolver was inches from her, and the house was locked.

Dillon heard the shot Oct. 1, climbed through Polk's upstairs bathroom window and found her in bed bleeding.

Polk was recovering at Akron General Medical Center

Cant a man make his own choice?

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state's public safety commissioner.

ADVERTISEMENT

The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn't the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor.

The Republican vice presidential nominee has been accused of firing a commissioner to settle a family dispute. Palin supporters have called the investigation politically motivated.

Monegan says he was dismissed as retribution for resisting pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor's sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Alaska lawmakers have emerged from a private session in Anchorage where they spent more than six hours discussing a politically charged ethics report into Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of her state public safety commissioner.

The legislative panel began its public session by discussing whether to release the report's findings. The investigation was examining whether Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, fired a state commissioner to settle a family dispute. The report was also expected to touch on whether Palin's husband meddled in state affairs and whether her administration inappropriately accessed employee medical records.

Critics claim Palin fired Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan after months of pressure on him to fire Mike Wooten, a state trooper involved in a nasty divorce and custody dispute with the governor's sister.

Lawmakers indicated they planned to release the report even though there was disagreement about its findings.

"I think there are some problems in this report," Republican state Sen. Gary Stevens. "I would encourage people to be very cautious, to look at this with a jaundiced eye."

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - A couple in rural Cambodia has terminated their 18-year marriage with a divorce settlement that entailed sawing in two the wooden house they once shared, villagers said Friday. The husband, 42-year-old Moeun Sarim, has taken away with him all the bits and pieces of his half a house, said his 35-year-old wife, Vat Navy.

"Very strange, but this is what my husband wanted," she said by phone from a village about 62 miles east of Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh. She said they ended their marriage last month.

"He brought his relatives and used saws to cut the house in half," she said, adding that she now owns the other half that is still standing. The house is made from wood with a tile roof and propped up on wooden pillars, a typical style for a Cambodian country home.

She said her estranged husband and his relatives, after ripping apart half of the house, carried all the debris to his parents' house nearby.

She said the divorce was prompted by her husband's jealousy about her alleged relationship with a policeman in the village. She denied having an extramarital affair.

"He wanted a divorce, and I said, `Let's divorce,'" she said.

The husband could not be reached for comment.

Bou Bout, a village chief, said local officials and police were present as witnesses the day the couple split their 20-by-24 1/2 foot house into half.

"Local officials tried three times to get them to mend their differences, but the husband would not budge," Bou Bout said by phone.

Well, end the illegal affair, but still accept your kids. They are your flesh and blood

I inquired from my friend who lives in Nigerian about the Rental business, and he told me that it is only profitable if one has the connection. I saw his point, because who among the masses, except for the famous and rich folks would organize an elaborate party that would require an event planner. Nduka Obaigbena, according to my friend who held a bash not too long ago hired event planner(s) from South Africa, so , anybody who has more information on the business should holla.

Five pounds a month for membership? Na wao!

Even in its current state, I could move back home.

No basis in comparing Molue and the central life. The latter looks orderly, compared to the chaos that comes with when molue arrives. Besides, does Molue ever come to a full stop at busstops in Lagos? Owa, Owa, they would be screaming, and when you reach your destination, you'D have to jump out of the moving molue. Abeg, there is no ground for comparison.
