Na wao!!! |
Postpone the marriage. The calls from his ex, on a regular basis should convince you that the girl may be emotionally attached to the guy. |
In a bizarre/ghoulish twist, a woman fried her husband. This tragic act took place in Brazil. Brazilian Woman Cuts Husband's Body Parts, Fries Them To Store In House March 23, 2007 9:27 p.m. EST Nidhi Sharma - All Headline News Staff Writer Sao Paulo, Brazil (AHN) - A 52-year-old housewife from Brazil first stabbed her husband, then chopped off his dead body into small pieces to boil and fry it before hiding it into plastic bags in her house. A 15-member jury found Rosanita Nery dos Santos guilty of killing retired police officer Jose Raimundo Soares dos Santos. The accident took place on June 23, 2005 in Vila Sao Cosme, a lower middle-class neighborhood in the Bahia state capital of Salvador, 930 miles northeast of Sao Paulo. The matter came into picture when police received an anonymous phone call saying that the woman has hid body parts in her house. According to AP reports, police suspect black magic to be the motive behind the horrendous killing. There is also a possibility that she wanted to receive her husband's life insurance money worth US$34,000. However, the woman's relatives have indicated that she suffered "humiliation" from her husband for many years and wanted to end the torture by ending his life. Santos, who has denied killing her husband, claims that some "masked assailants" broke into her house to kill husband. She also adds that the "assailants" forced her to chop off the body and fry it to prevent the bad odors from the decomposing body that would have alerted neighbors. http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7006839171 |
Yeah, they are victims of capitalism, because, of the corrupt practises of the state government. Is it not amazing that there is a bit of a relationship between unpaid salaries, and low wages, offered by some corporations to illegal immigrants in the USA? There have been stories of workers who have been unpaid for overtime work by their corporation, all for what? Greed? |
Mr.Mayor, Purple Hibiscus hasnt made it to the NY times bestselling list, and I doubt if Oprah has talked publicly about the book on her show. If her novel was a NYTimes bestseller, I am certain that it would have appeared on the cover page of her novel. That you are not a NY times bestseller, does not automatically mean that your novels have not sold well. Adichie's novel have sold remarkably well in London and has acquired a bestseller status out there. |
Sorry, trading abuse with anybody online or offline isnt my cup of tea. Thanks for the information and have a good one. |
Some of the pictures are nice, and creative, but the pictures for some of the cakes should be retouched, because they look outdated. Maybe it is the quality of the pictures. I have to give them props for some of their designs. |
Adequate laws against theft in Nigeria? Could it be possible that unpaid public servants in Nigeria can utilize such laws to their advantage? I also did not know that there is an 'image' (of what) achieved in smoking cigarettes. Is it any different from peer pressure? |
@Wales, where in California would you be residing in? If you dont mind, what exactly happened to your family members, and in what crisis? |
I wouldnt say we are arrogant, but perhaps, exude an aura of confidence in ourselves that may come off as arrogance. |
I dont know if Tithe is a shadow of former things, but I dont think it would make any difference to some of us folks, if we donate a certain percentage of our income as tithes in the Church. God's Blessings in our life is so greater that we cant measure it with any dollar. Give from the heart, in secret and cheerfully. I have also noticed this in certain Churches, that when you put your tithe in your envelope, you are required to write your name, so that at the end of the year you can claim deduction? Abeg, is it really true? Cos if it is so, then it is very, very ridiculous. |
How much money has anybody made from their blog? |
Ade4real, you have to realize that it is extremely rare for a Nigerian with a degree from home to get a job, tougher still, for professional jobs, advertised on those sites. And usually, such sites have jobs that are mostly 'office jobs'. Best bet would be to sign up with an agency and enroll in a nursing school. |
On the other hand, I am for government, setting rules and regulations for businesses to adhere to, mainly for checks and balances, otherwise, profits would be acquired by corrupt companies at the exploitation of employees (like cheap labor) and the environment http://www.ft.com/cms/s/312ea7a8-c6fc-11db-8078-000b5df10621.html. Phillip Morris, until recently, never informed the public on the health effects of smoking cigarettes, like cancer. So, I was a bit surprised and found it ironic, that this tobacco company was advertising on television, in which they discussed topics on how to quit smoking or something to that effect. Its been long, so I just went on the website, and hmmm, I just have to conclude that their message of quitting smoking while selling cigarettes at the same time is very contradictory. Were it not for the lawsuit, among other deterents(?) (I don't know if the govt were involved in it), would they have informed the public on the hazards of smoking? I doubt it. http://www.philipmorrisusa.com/en/home.asp About minimum wage, I am in whole support of the government, being involved in it, by instituting fair practises like minimum wage, etc for the benefits of the employees. That protects the welfare of employees, because no business would be able to circumvent their employees, by cheating them without paying dearly for it. The law mandates an employer to also provide overtime pay of 1.5 to their employees who work past the required 8 hours a day at their job. Even with the existence of such laws, there are stories of some corrupt companies who have attempted to cheat their employees with resulting repercussions to pay for their greed. So, if the govt did not step in by stipulating a certain amount of money to be paid to an employee aka minimum wage, what makes you think that these greedy corporations wont cheat their employees of their paycheck, all in a bid to make more money for themselves. Tell me, how is that ethical in a capitalistic country? The American workers fare better than their Nigerian counterparts. We have heard of stories of unpaid salaries for civil servants. Servants in housholds are accustomed to working from morning to night either washing the dishes, feeding junior, washing the car, doing laundry, cooking, with an occasional break in between. Since there are no laws to protect their rights in Nigeria, at the end of the month, their 'oga' and 'madam' would give them their paltry salary of --- that was agreed upon when they were brought from their hometown. There is no such thing as overtime, or even minimum wage for them, but I gotta tell you that it would be a different ball of game, if they worked for such families in the USA for more than 8 hours without getting overtime pay. |
We should pay our tithes, and at the same time, give to the needy. We should not bypass one for the other. Both of them are essential commandments for Christians. One question though, are we Christians obligated to donate 10% of our earnings as tithes, or there is no just fixed limit? |
After viewing those pics, you'd think those are shopping malls based in America. Nigeria is going places. |
So, why was Grace banned from shopping in several EU countries@donzman? Are you really in favor of Mugabe's continued desire to stay in power, even when he is in his 80's? Let him give the younger generation a chance. |
"Capitalism in a mostly free market system allows you to practice your own ethics and allows me to practice my own ethics." Ndipe's comment. Your above discourse is misleading. There are rules that govern the business structure of a society. If you flout any of the rules, you may be subject to being penalized. I am certain that you are familiar with the Enron Saga and the consequences that resulted for the head honchos. IF capitalism allowed businesses to practise their own ethics, then we wont be having a set minimum wage for the masses, because some entrepreuners would cheat their employees out of their paycheck. The bottom line, is that while the publishing industry can decide which advertisements to accept in their magazines/newspapers, at the same time, they have to adhere to the rules of the governing body of the country. So, while a magazine could (without any conscience) accept funds, in exchange for a placed advertisement from a tobacco company, they have to post a disclaimer (whether they like it or not) about the health defects associated with smoking. |
Donzman, are you for real? |
Those who consume Indomie should check if it has MSG, because that itself is a health hazard. |
Here we go again with this double standard. We have women who are employed in the male dominated profession, like cab driving and the rest, and no eyebrow has been raised. The moment a man decides to engage himself in an otherwise female profession, he is ridiculed. Get on with the times. And to the poster, if you feel that is your calling, then go for it. Ignore your critics. Meanwhile, here is a link featuring a man, who specializes in grooming bride to be on their wedding day. http://www.thebridesescort.com/ |
Which state are you moving to? Your best bet would be to sign up with a temporary agency, and also take some nursing classes. CNA classes in my area, can run for just one month, with rigorous training for under 1000 thousand dollars. Starting pay, as I am told is around 20 dollars an hour, which is not bad. |
@Ronke, that woman cant usurp you from your home, if she and your husband were not legally married. Stand for your right!!! |
Do you work for Evans medical PLC? A friend of mine does. |
Attend the wedding for what? Forgive him, wish him a happy married life and move on with your life. |
A prominent broker, has chosen to eschew from investing in companies with business alliances with South Africa, likewise, he wont invest in the tobacco industries, because cigarette kills. Now, another investor would choose a different approach and steer his clients into investing in that biz sector, because of the potential profits to be accumulated from such investments. Can someone see, how the line of ethics are compromised? Moreso, dont you find this ironic, or at the least, quite baffling that some publishing biz, would accept advertisements from cigarette companies, and beneath the ad, would post a disclaimer about the health hazards of cigarettes and the warning from the surgeon general about cigarettes. Now, the concluding reasoning is that money, rather than ethics is the underlying factor in taking up this advertisements. Readers Digest, one popular magazine in the USA does not accept ADs from tobacco companies, and I like their stance. Can you now see the conflict between captialism and ethics? |
@the one, are you implying that other universities curriculum, apart from my alma mater can compete with leading universities abroad? I highly doubt it. Yeah, I schooled at Uniuyo, and I am pretty sure that my school can compete with other leading tertiary institutions in the nation. Abroad, I am not sure, but some of the students, I am sure can defend their projects. The truth is this, lets just revamp our curriculum, or at the very least, adopt a model of education that can in the very least, rival that of the western education. |
Nice pictures. |
"Who no like better thing"?, quoting one of the response that I read in Newswatch magazine. |
@Trinigirl, how can you compare my reasoning which is accepted universally that abortion is murder with another person's stance that battering one's wife is acceptable? |
