...from "the pinky and the brain".

as dumb as pinky is? might as well go 4 jonny bravo

Daffy duck

For the fact that the arsenal team of 2003/2004 finished the season unbeaten that kind of settles it....shout out to the chelsea team of 2005/06 & man utd of '99 & 2008

These french dudes don't learn,that's why we have the militant groups in libya not to forget the taliban that was empowered by the US decades ago against russia.The French should fight ISIS themselves and if any group should be armed its the govt soldiers

ignis: I don't think so. Rather I think Fashola is at a disadvantage being a southerner and a muslim. Reason being because he can't fit in as the president or vice president with the type of politics we practise in Nigeria.
Take for example, Fashola as the Flag bearer of APC, who will be his running mate (vice) ? A yoruba, Igbo or Hausa man?
You will agree with me that none of these 3 options is a possibility.
Yoruba = Both can't be yoruba
Igbo= President and vice can't be Southerners .
Hausa = President and Vice can't be muslim.

With the above reason, I doubt if Fashola can fit in as either President or Vice- President.

ah ha,but u've forgotten the middle-belt....considered northerners but are mostly christians,TY danjuma,david mark and the likes

prophetone: The Anambra issue is too insignificant in the scheme of things to affect Fashola. A lot of people are not even aware of the incident, and people will defend him by reminding others that Imo state did the same thing to some people from the north...another thorn in Rochas's flesh as the northerners didn't take it lightly.

its insignificant of course.....if Peter Obi isn't overwhelmingly affiliated to GEJ & the PDP he would be the picture

KWANKWASO is a victim of his tribe,the distrust & hatred for northerners are at an all time low mainly 'cause of boko haram,he'll get very little votes from the south
FASHOLA though we lagosians know better but he can be sold to Nigerians however,his issues with migration and anambra as well as his elitist policies will be waved aside though 'aving another yoruba man so soon after obasanjo won't augur well with tribal bigots who happen to be of a majority in Nigeria.
ROCHAS isn't as popular in the south east as he should be,the north won't stand another southern christian.
Fashola should win it simply 'cause he's a balance between being a southerner and a muslim.

GEJ is pussyfooting as we've not heard of any high profile arrests of boko haram members & sponsors,with their subsequent trial and execution(I feel this should be their fate) but this pronouncement of '2015 for chibok girls' shouldn't be coming from the northern elders

Mynd44: Weed is a Stimulant/hallucinogen. Of course it helps against depression but when taking in the right quantities. Get high off that isht and you are not looking to get over depression, you are simply looking for ways to "travel"

either getting over depression or even the extreme case of 'travel' neither can be said to be as tragic as the robin williams situation to the extent of committing suicide....though illegal global but the sale of indian hemp over the counter as I witnessed during my service year should be given approval but with regulations

MRbrownJAY: @OP
Alcohol, cocaine or even Nitrous oxide would also help a depressed person to feel better.....does that mean they should all take them?

alcohol can only be use only up to the level of intoxication which has lots of side effects:drunk driving,violence,liver issues. Cocaine is rather expensive and as for nitrous oxide I sincerely don't know much about it.

nairalife2013: Anything smoking is not regarded as a decent thing by d majority in d world; itz worse in africa. Secondly d fear of addiction! If u can do it very modestly well it may not be bad to u. I personaly harbour despise for marijuana cos it has an inalieniable bond wid d streets and it has sent quite a number of folks bonkers!

such mentality and mindset can be changed,too much of everything is dangerous as we all know the outright demonisation of indian hemp is of the extreme.

Mrval20,can you compare a probable addiction to what a depression patient goes to,that leads to he/she committing sucide? That's why I talked about regulating it

With the death of Robin Williams directly linked to depression,anti-depressants(whatever they are made of I don't know) obviously don't seem to be working.
Marijuana(indian hemp aka igbo) can offer temporary relief to depression sufferers.I am speaking from personal experience.
I served in mirnga,Borno state in 2008/09. Really felt depressed 'cause mirnga wasnt(isn't) actually a new york city if you know what I mean,I was always unhappy until a residing corp member introduced me to a marijuana shop( ‎​yes marijuana is sold openly like your buying a recharge card down south),it kept me alive and happy albeit temporarily throughout my stay there.I no longer take it now however,but indian hemp should be considered a cure for depression and be partly legalised/regulated.What do you guys think?

I guess I'm dumb cos I can't even pick a word

If d 3lives saved where also the 3 people involved then its not a 'sad sight'. At least the driver will learn to drive more carefully & as for the hilux,NIMC has enough funds to replace the vehicle,and the driver!!

TB joshua made some thought-provoking points,he's making sense

The man has saved many lives by killing the woman,who knows how many more she would've infected

nice one op

I've lost more money to policemen than robbers

This headteacher's letter to year 6 students in barrowford primary school has gone viral.if you can't read directly from the picture...its written out below:

"Please find enclosed your end of KS2 test results.
We are very proud of you as you demonstrated
huge amounts of commitment and tried your
very best during this tricky week.
However, we are concerned that these tests do
not always assess all of what it is that make each
of you special and unique. The people who create
these tests and score them do not know each of
you... the way your teachers do, the way I hope
to, and certainly not the way your families do.
They do not know that many of you speak two
languages. They do not know that you can play a
musical instrument or that you can dance or
paint a picture.
They do not know that your friends count on you
to be there for them or that your laughter can
brighten the dreariest day. They do not know that
you write poetry or songs, play or participate in
sports, wonder about the future, or that
sometimes you take care of your little brother or
sister after school.
They do not know that you have travelled to a
really neat place or that you know how to tell a
great story or that you really love spending time
with special family members and friends.
They do not know that you can be trustworthy,
kind or thoughtful, and that you try, every day, to
be your very best... the scores you get will tell
you something, but they will not tell you
everything.
So enjoy your results and be very proud of these
but remember there are many ways of being
smart."

sino: See, we do not pretend, we tell it as it is. I beg to differ from your statistics, you say 80% are in 0 tolerant, how did you arrive at this? PLg. EASE DO TELL

WhileZ0. you were staying in these muslim dominated areas, what were the intolerance you experienced? Can you please share?

in mirnga,borno state (where I served) I was d NFCS coordinator there,the 1st thing the district head told me and my colleagues to our faces was that they will tolerate anything from us apart from their women and their religion & that anything that comes as a result of that we should take it,we don't carry bibles anyhow it their streets. I also mentored the xtian children girls in the the school is was posted(GGSS,mirnga)and what they went through in the hands of their muslim families & colleague is worthy of its own thread!!As for my experience is Qatar,the intolerance is legendary-there's a time limit and restrictions in possessing ur bible,I don't need to tell u evangelism is a criminal offence,leaving islam attracts the death penalty,u heard of the sudanese woman!!.You can get info from a 3rd party if u want.
80%?hmmm I'm being generous

If true then he's a very evil man

BetaThings: And what is the percentage of the Muslims doing that?
So you actually believe that every Nigerian is a fraudster because of Yahoo Yahoo guys

So every time any Nigerian says we are not fraudsters you would tell him to say that to yahoo yahoo guys because that crime must be reduced to zero first
On that score every h.o.m.o.s.i.c.k must be child moleste
Every Christian must be a supporter Rev King

I don't know if ur a muslim or do,if u ain't try to be cautious,all muslim dominated countries persecute christians massively-quote me!!,if ur in a country like qatar is better,you only restriction is parading ur bible in public. The muslims down south r only tolerate 'cos they r not the dominant religion .Pls let's don't pretend it doesn't exist just 'cause we r advocating for world peace- a fair 80% of muslims are intolerant and that's a majority
NB: I've lived in Borno,Kano and visited qatar

eyeview: God! Calling in the doctors to combat this Ebola without finding a cure for it yet is like sending in soliders to zambisa forest unarmed. They'll just be made a mince meat of. God save them please.

they'll help keep them well isolated at least

Op I don't know what's hilarious,Ebonyi is one of the most if not the most backward state south of the niger and Martin Elechi has brought no change in that effect,if they can't wait till next year then they can impeach & ultimate probe him.

But they openly commit mass-murder in the name of their religion and of course the seeming sense of murder,destruction that comes from little provocations eg moh'd cartoon in far away norway let to protests and murder to non-muslims.
Op ur dictations & whatever advice should be directed to muslims.

bigfrancis21: Truly, school is not meant for everyboy. It's only in Nigeria where every Tom, Dicck, and Harry is forced to go to school irrespective of academic capability. The Nigerian society considers any non-university graduate inferior no matter how rich they may be and hence the drives for everybody to go to school. Such a child you mentioned has untapped talents somewhere else he can exceed greatly at. He might not be good at academics but could be a successful astute business man, having more money than the so-called educated ones.

The major reason we all go to school in the first place is all because of money - to make money. Going to school and having a job isn't the only way route to making money in life. Being street smart and business minded also gets you there.

TuFace is excelling today in his line of music but might as well perform poorly in academics. Everybody just has to discover oneself and what fits one the most. Ever noticed that most of the world's richest today either did not go to school(university) or dropped out in high school. Those were the ones seen as ne'er-do-wells in school and having no future.

One thing i've learnt is never to look down on someone because of academic capability. During my service year, I taught Mathematics at a secondary school. Some of my students were just not good at maths no matter how easy the question I solved was nor how many times I repeatedly taught the question. They just never got it. I didn't look down on them nor considered them failures. These people have areas which they will excel at, but they just have to discover it.

but theirs something like basic education of which every child is required to pass through,from where I started keeping tabs(his common entrance)he's never passed an exam!!he wrote junior waec few months back....how go a business man can he be,haba, basic education.

Mary is ur cousin and her children(sandra & collins) could be seen as your distant niece & nephew [Mary is thus taken to be your sister].......or just "distant relatives"

Expose them and stop doing deals with criminals,who knows who'll be their next victim(s) if it remains hiding.
However get your facts right before you do so,else they'll sue you
