Nigerians don open eye to this injustice by filing a lawsuit. Good! This should serve as a warning to other employers to care for their workers. Seun, I dont like this new format of nairaland. Moreso, why am I not getting notification in my email address of replies to my topics and comments? |
Just saw Nairaland featured in the story on yahoo's webpage and was about to post it. Good job, Nairaland. http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/33072/giant+manta+raised+from+the+depths+off+africa+by+ships+anchor/ |
Lina Medina is the youngest mother in history to have given birth at age 5. This sort of story makes me sick |

SEFAGO:I especially like reading novels that details the clash of cultures, you know, the East meets west novels and how it merges or clashes. Funny, in the white house, there is the East wing section and the west wing, I think. My own take, apart from African novels is Persian novels. I just find it ironic that a very conservative country, Iran, is also the nose job capital of the world. |
Daniel 3:22-25: Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his coun, sellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.[/b]Who was the fourth man in the fiery furnace that Nebuchadnezzar, (a pagan king) referred to as the Son of God which took place in the Old Testament? http://www.torontobaptist.org/kjb_material/daniel3.htm PS: Interesting insights in the Holy Bible about the Son of God in Proverbs 30:4, Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? [b]what is His name, and what is His Son's name, if thou canst tell? |
afam4eva:Her late sister, Stella, was Ojukwu's second wife, not Angela Onyeador, who I think may still be alive. |
Vanity upon vanities. |
Arrow of god by Chinua Achebe |
Why do I choose to worship Jesus Christ? He died for my sins and rose again for my justification. Today, if I need anything, I have to pray in faith and He will intercede on my behalf. My forefather's relgion would demand an arm and a leg to fulfill rites while the gift of Jesus Christ is FREE. Dont be brainwashed, Jesus Christ is the Only Way to God. |
In Arrow of god by Chinua Achebe, one of the characters in the novel, Akukalia, was impotent and his wives were given out to men to bear children for 'him'. It's practised in certain cultures under a cloak of secrecy, but please quote me on this, I dont approve of it. Another one is a polygamist who converts to Christianity, and in some instances, 'instructed' to divorce his multiple wives on grounds that the practise of polygamy contradicts the tenets of Christianity. Some men do obey, while others renounce the faith and return back to their previous religion. |
In the olden days, I read that the death of a king/influential chief in certain parts of Africa prompted tradition to hunt for human heads to accompany the corpse. Infact, read the novel, "The concubine," it's detailed in the first page of the novel. |
Read the story of black pharaohs here, it's covered in the National Geographic magazine. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/egypt-black-pharaohs-article-1.343865 |
Wao, this is becoming common in Nigeria, married couples advertising for roomates? |

stagger:I was whupped by my teachers and senior students and in cases was not justified. I still maintain, if my children were punished unjustly in school, I wont take it easy with the teacher or the senior student. Flogging a student 22 strokes of the cane is ABUSE!!! Parents need to stand up for their children when they are abused, (I am not saying, they should flog the teacher), but something needs to be done when a student is given 22 strokes of the cane. Was it not last year that I read of a primary school pupil who was beaten to death by a teacher? |
debrief08:It is also the husband's wedding day, so dont attribute the day solely to the bride. Most importantly, weddings shouldnt be an avenue to draw attention to oneself, but a day to celebrate the legal joining of man and woman together as husband and wife. |
A more important task for teh governor to do is to pay the minimum wage for all employees of the government. Last I heard, the workers had embarked on an an industrial strike over non-payments of their salary. This is more important than building impressive edificies in the state. |
Pics are nice, but has Akpabio paid the minimum wage for employees? That's more important than adorning the city with 'modern' edifices. |
Has he paid the minimum wage for govt employees? |
Impressive pictures, thanks for posting. |
vizion:And he is now coming out to be the mouthpiece of the masses? No please! I'd like to know what Abiol'as children think of him. |
Read that the case between udoedghe and akpabio is heading to the supreme court. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/02/akpabioudoedehe-legal-battle-tribunal-insists-on-hearing-case/ |
keeptalkin:That's a world wide trend. I even read in a publication that there are some brides (I think in China) who will hire attractive models to serve as their bridesmaids. |
clip:Good observation. For a guy who was a June 12 follower, what exactly was his relationship with the Abacha's and Babangida in subsequent years? |
Nice writing. |
Which aspects of our culture needs to be abolished in today's era of enlightenment? One is the idea of organizing a lavish funeral upon the death of a relative. People get into debt to satisfy the mandate of tradition for fear of looking bad in front of others or worse, being afraid that the 'ghost' of the deceased (particularly, if they had a high ranking title in the village) haunt them subsequently for dispossessing their corpse in a shallow manner. Cows, Goats, bags of rice are bought and fed to the teeming crowds in expensive uniforms of lace and agbada adorned with pictures of the deceased while guests will praise you, "You don do am, now your papa go rest in peace, not realizing you are under pressure racking your brain on how to offset the bills in the forth coming months or even years. What else? |
HARTFORD, Conn. – Over the years, Eric Fischer had grown suspicious of whether he was really the father of his youngest daughter. So he secretly got a sample of the girl's hair, grabbed one from his own head and sent them to a lab for DNA testing. Sure enough, he was right. The girl was the product of an affair between Fischer's wife, Pamela Tournier, and her business partner, Richard Zollino. . .

He who pays the piper dictates the tune . . . But seriously, how would it feel like if a white man was cast as Okonkwo in "Things Fall Apart?" |
JeSoul:Not Biblical typo, rather, Deborah was in the Old Testament era. Read this article posted by "Found" http://onwardchristianwoman..com/2008/05/should-women-preach.html http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080530111751AA7CAs9 |
I read that for the intervention of Uwazurike, his widow, Bianca, was in the process of being booted out of her residence by the so called 'heirs' of Ojukwu. Tell me, this can even happen to a well educated and exposed woman? |
