True observation. And the truth of the matter is that the stories narrated by our elders is more entertaining than the stuff shown on television. Who remembers tales by moonlight? How can we resurrect the culture of storytelling in Nigeria?
Politics › Re: How Can Nigerians In Diaspora Make Nigeria Better? by Ndipe(m): 11:20pm On Oct 17, 2013
Phder: 1. Denying being a Nigerian when caught in evil/bad act. (This will help protect our global image)

2. Invest in something in Nigeria or start a business; creating jobs + remiting taxes

3. Be an angel investor for small business start-up in Nigeria.

4. Enlighten your friends about Nigeria and tell them it's not as bad as it's being portrayed on TV.

5. Come home and vote if you can.

6. Educate your immediate/extended family that cannot afford standard education. (the more literate we have, the better it gets)

7. Stop sending money to your brothers at home. Make them work for every penny.

8. Invite NGO to your local community and let them help your community.

9. Be a good citizen wherever you are and don't tear your green passport when you have the red/blue one.

10. Stop posting pictures of you in front a stranger's ferarri on Facebook and twitter.
Number 10 is funny but true.
Family › Re: Bullying Make African Kids Stronger But Kills The American Kids: Why by Ndipe(m):
I can never support bullying. There are times kids from Africa will refrain from attending school because of bullying. Heck, I even wanted to be a daystudent because the seniors were brutally rough with us in ss1 but my parents refused to. I had a friend in my set who left boarding house to be a daystudent and ended up failing. So bullying should be condemned whether it makes one 'strong' or not.

Family › Re: When Is The Best Time To Tell An Adopted Child The Truth About His Parentage? by Ndipe(m): 12:19am On Oct 03, 2013
Odunnu: My neigbour adopted a child at birth and she's 17yrs now, she knows she's an adopted child and everytime her mother corrects, disiplines or rebukes her, she packs a bag and says she's going to look for her real parents and this hurts me, how much more the mother.
I honestly dont know if and when they should be told
I know of a girl who had no clue initially that she was adopted until years later which created tension between her and her adopted mother. If the adopted mother disciplined her, she would attribute it to her being an adoptee. From what I heard, she threatened to run away and the mother burnt her clothes in retaliation. The last I heard, the woman and her adopted mother had severed contact.

Crime › 2 High Rolling Las Vegas/nigerian Oxycodone Dealer Sentenced To Prison. by Ndipe(op): 4:38am On Oct 02, 2013
Kingsley Osemwengie fell into the fast-lane trappings of Las Vegas, scoring big as a kingpin of a coast-to-coast crime ring that sold pain pills in a dozen states. His was a jetsetting life of call girls and drug couriers, Bentleys and bling.
But Monday, the 27-year-old defendant shuffled out of a Portland courtroom in cuffs and leg chains, headed for a long stretch in prison. Behind him, his anguished mother, who had begged Senior U.S. District Judge Ancer L. Haggerty to show her son mercy, sobbed loudly. . .

Morally wrong, legally wrong. If the adoption is legal, then legally, she cant be married into the family.

dasparrow: @Post

Abuja is no longer as beautiful as it used to be. Many of the buildings look rotten, traffic light is not working, dirty all over, too much traffic, overpopulated, lack of constant power supply and clean tap water. Can Abuja be compared to Windhoek or Cape coast?

Read about Idris Elba's reaction when he found out that his ex-girlfriend's child was not actually his son as he thought after telling people that he had fathered him. DNA proved him wrong.

Travel › Re: Do You Stop To Help Victims Involved In Road Traffic Accidents? BE HONEST. by Ndipe(m): 11:22pm On Sep 22, 2013
JayCee2010: Many people will admit that at some point in their lives, they've seen people involved in road traffic accidents, bleeding by the road side, trapped in mangled or burning vehicles, or sometimes sitting on the floor calling out for help.

Have you ever stopped to help such people?

Many people don't, for fear that armed robbers may attack (if it happens on inter-state roads), some say that 'the authorities' will handle it (whoever the authorities are), other call an emergency number and give details and locations and they still drive off- feeling like they have 'done their part'.

if you put yourself in the victim's shoes and imagine you've been sitting in a pool of your own blood for hours and several vehicles drove by, some staring sympathetically, but none stopping to rescue you, or offer help, what would your perspective of humanity be like after the experience? Definitely you'll think humans are heartless and hypocritical creatures.

If you have had such an experience, or helped out in an accident, please share your experience.
Have you ever helped someone in a car accident?
Romance › Re: Should Tradition Overrule Love? by Ndipe(op): 10:55pm On Sep 22, 2013
Reason why I am asking is that I heard rumors about a famous rapper with that of his wife for their daughter. Another instance is one of my co-workers who told me he would gladly give up his last name and adopt another name for his children. And when I asked him if is father wouldn't be mad at him, he simply said that he doesn't care about it. Third time was a guy I know of who told me his girlfriend suggested that since she had no brothers, she would like their children to bear her last name.
Romance › Should Tradition Overrule Love? by Ndipe(op): 11:55pm On Sep 21, 2013
Let me give you this scenario, you are the youngest of five brothers. All your brothers are married with kids of both genders. You happen to get engaged to a lady who is an only child of her parents. And they ask you for a favor if you would gladly give one of your kids their last name so that it wont be lost.

What do you do? Acquiesce to their request or stick with tradition?

How She Left
‘Happiness, Like Water,’ by Chinelo Okparanta

By LIGAYA MISHAN
Published: September 13, 2013

The stories in Chinelo Okparanta’s first collection are quiet, often unnervingly so, in the manner of a stifled shriek. Hints of menace — a reference to a robbery, an illness, a drop of blood on peeling linoleum — are delivered blandly, matter-of-factly, as if resisting the urge to dramatize were a kind of survival mechanism.

This is deceptive, for the plots in “Happiness, Like Water” are heated where the prose is not. A woman waits with a gun pointed at her head as a thief commands her husband to hand over his beloved Peugeot, suddenly aware that the car is worth more to her husband than her life; a spinster plans to murder a pregnant friend and steal her unborn child; a virginal college student, desperate to send her ailing mother to a private hospital, agrees to go out with a rich “patron,” deluding herself that all he wants is a pretty date who can “discuss budget and political issues. . .
