Sports › Should College Athletes Be Paid? by Ndipe(op): 4:20am On Sep 11, 2013
While colleges are raking in millions of dollars by exploiting college athletes, these athletes are on the receiving end, only receiving scholarships (and perhaps free board and lodging) to compensate for their hard work and ethics. Some could be sidelined, thus ending a promising dream of being a professional athlete. The argument one might bring up is that colleges are a stepping board to being drafted into the NFL or NBA, so these athletes shouldnt complain, rather, they should appreciate the fact that these colleges have given them exposure of being drafted which would have been impossible if they did not attend college. But I disagree, this scenario is a reflection of the adage, "Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop."

What do you think? I am of the view that it's only college athletes should be paid for their sweat.
Celebrities › Re: Dr Sid Wore A Kilt To A Wedding In Scotland (photos) by Ndipe(m): 2:01am On Sep 10, 2013
When in Rome, act as the Romans (provided it's a good culture) Wearing as kilt is a normal attire in Scotland, so for those who are condemning the Naija guy for donning one, I have to ask, would you be so mad if an oyibo refuses to wear our native wear on grounds that it is not a white outfit? Broaden your views please!

WAEC sometimes does that, as I heard, witholding people's results. Why? Because of suspicions that your scores were extraordinarily high? Please . . ., what are brainy students supposed to do, try and 'mess' up a bit so they wont risk having their results forfeited?

Politics › Re: What Happened To Tinapa? by Ndipe(m): 3:05am On Sep 05, 2013
New government, new ventures, that's what's killing Nigeria, when a new administration takes over, they quickly abandon (in a lot of cases) their predecessor's pet project and concentrate on creating a new one to make a name for themselves. That can also explain the numerous elephant projects in the country. na contract dem wan chop
Foreign Affairs › Re: Outside Mandela's Home (pics) by Ndipe(m):
BTT: This is traumatising! OMG! Are they aware of the trauma they are putting this family through at all?

Sadly, they'll win in the end.

This reminds me of a particular UN-award winning photograph of a hungry and sick young toddler being tailed by a vulture in one particular war-torn African country. The photo journalist reported that the vulture eventually won. The journalist committed suicide shortly after his return from that assignment.
I cant, wouldnt do that not even for any prize, I will drive or kill the vulture and save the life of that young child. Greed causes people be inhumane and that was inhumanity on his part. You have heard of the journalist who captured the picture of a viet soldier shooting to death another fellow and he was highly criticized for this behavior?

Not so keen on using that again. The one huge limitation it has is tongue cleaning. Is charcoal even good for the teeth/gums?
Charcoal is good for the teeth, but I agree with you, the limitation with using chewing stick is how to clean the tongue. Some people use the strands from palm wine trees to clean their tongues.

twogood: Man is destined to die ONCE and after that to face judgement. Heb 9:27. Don't think there'll be time to appear in different places.
Also, a normal human being can't cause a person's head to swell or make one feel dizzy. The devil can appear in any form, even as an angel. 2 Cor 11:13.
May God grant our hearts enlightenment.
I trust in God's Word, Amen.

Family › Nigerian Lady Scientist Rules The World by Ndipe(op): 4:47am On Aug 22, 2013
Emerges winner in global chemistry competition

By COSMAS OMEGOH

Not too long ago in China, an avalanche of honours fell on Nigeria's path. It happened when one of her unsung heroines surprised the world by claiming a coveted prize at a recent edition of the ChinaNano Science Conference.

Her work in the field of Nano science and technology - an aspect of chemistry – won the best prize, outclassing over 1,000 other entries.

In the eyes of world's best scientists, Nigeria's profile rose sky-high like mercury in a test tube. British-born Nigerian, Dr (Miss) Geraldine Echue helped this to happen when she gave the country the rare opportunity. It was something to be proud about when her presentation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences was adjudged the best in its category.

After some painstaking consideration, a panel of judges at the conference gave the verdict that placed Dr Echue in the league of world's rising chemists. She felt like exploding when it was announced that her work had significantly contributed to learning and extended the frontiers of Material Science. She gave experts from various lands and climes a handful and a conviction that Nigeria is never short of the power to surprise.

For her effort, she was rewarded with the conference's top prize, some traditional Chinese Art paper, and a certificate of participation amid ovation. The ovation came down on her like sheets of rain - unrestrainedly flowing from thousands of thankful hearts

Dr Echue, 27, was born and raised in England by her parents who hail from Okwelle, in Onuimo Local . . .

Health › New Malaria Vaccine The First To Offer Complete Protection (front Page Please) by Ndipe(op): 10:01pm On Aug 10, 2013
Several vaccines for malaria have been developed over the past few decades, but none offer complete protection. Now, for the first time, US researchers have developed a vaccine that protects 100% of those given five doses of the vaccine.

Caused by Plasmodium parasites, malaria affects more than 200m people annually. According to the World Health Organisation, in 2010 malaria killed 660,000, most of them children. GlaxoSmithKline’s Mosquirix is the most advanced malaria vaccine currently being tested. It protects against Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly of the parasites.

But, as Brian Greenwood of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine told The Conversatio , “Mosquirix is only about 50% effective when given to older children and even less effective (about 30%) when given to young infants with routine vaccines. A better vaccine with a higher level of protection is needed.”

The new vaccine, dubbed PfSPZ, has been developed by Sanaria, a US biotech firm, in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) . . .

lately, I have been reading this trend on Nigerian social media of relatives, particularly men, having sexual relations with their daughters. I am beginning to suspect that some of these stories are simply made up/fake, by journalists to conjure emotions and sell their papers. Lets no accept every stuff in the media as the ultimate truth. Some journalist simply fake stories.

Henry praise: i remembered falling sick and laying allegation on my class mate in kg2, the dude later got expelled, however, karma caught up wit me and in ss2, i was expelled from school. karma is alive and active

In the night, my sibs n I will sit in front of my moms store to scare pple wit a belt tied to a string, wen we pull they always tot it was a big snake,still remember d church pple dat ran and trew dia bible away one person twisted an ankle and d woman hu stopped and started beggin d belt in yoruba tongue. Twas really fun for us.
Me and my senior brother used to do that, tying a piece of rope to resemble a snake, and then cast it in front of our fence while we sat and enjoyed people's reactions.

My brother once stole nabisco biscuit from my mom and I ratted him out to my mom. So, out of gratitude in showing her where the biuscuit were, she gave me some. When my brother found out the biscuit was missing, he blamed our younger brothers and absolved me of the blame. He told them that he wont buy them any treats and I never confessed that I was the one who ratted him out. Instead, he would buy me stuff and refuse to share it with them. I felt so stricken with guilt that I would share any treats he gave me with them, so, I came off as a good and caring brother to our younger brothers a good son to my mother and a trusted accomplice to my senior brother. Wao!!!
Literature › Re: Chimamanda's Comment About The Caine Prize Angers Writer by Ndipe(m): 11:51pm On Jul 19, 2013
braveheart2012: This thread is yet another prime example of colonized Nigerian minds at work tearing each other apart. That country can't see progress, I swear it.

A properly educated African would be able to see that Chimanda's comments had nothing to do with her. Sh[b]e was obliquely critiquing the institutional neo-colonization that the Cain Prize represents.[/b] Why should a board of wealthy westerners tell Africa who its best writers are? Chimanda runs regular writers' workshops and thus, she gets lots of manuscripts from all across Africa. It is well within the bounds of humility for her to say she has read better writer's from her inbox.

Poor wretched Nigerians! Oyinbo throws them one miserable prize for the ENTIRE continent, and they fight each other like mongrels for a bite. I pray Nigeria gets colonized again, this time by worse brutes (e.g. the Chinese). Stupid, poorly educated people don't deserve freedom.
And she did submit her work to be considered for the Caine Prize a while back, do you remember that?
