Alison Madueke will top the list without rigging. Her (in)actions and words during the subsidy saga said much about her performance.

bittyend: They're just phucking!

The mileage on this bytch is higher than the one on my grandpops' 1989 volvo car.

I need to hit that before she gets old - she sure has some 'ol good wet puzzy.

You're right about that

Most Nigerian universities are usually abbreviated using the word "UNI" with the name (or part of it) of the city in which it was located. E.g. UNILORIN, UNIJOS, UNIABUJA, UNILAG, UNIPORT, UNIBEN, UNIMAID, etc. Imagine if universities in the United States are abbreviated like their Nigeria counterparts. The following will be the abbreviation for some universities in the United States.


UNIBRIDGE University of Bridgeport Bridgeport, CT
UNICHIC University of Chicago Chicago, IL
UNICOLOR University of Colorado Boulder, CO
UNICONNECT University of Connecticut Storrs, CT
UNIDAY University of Dayton Dayton, OH
UNIDEN University of Denver Denver, CO
UNIDEL University of Delaware Newark, DE
UNIGREAT University of Great Falls Great Falls, MT
UNIMARY University of Mary Bismarck, ND
UNIMASS University of Massachusetts Boston, MA
UNIMISS University of Mississippi University, MS
UNIMOBILE University of Mobile Mobile, AL
UNIMONT University of Montevallo Montevallo, AL
UNINEW University of New England Biddeford, ME
UNINORTH University of North Texas Denton, TX
UNIPEN University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA
UNIPIT University of Pittsburgh Bradford, PA
UNIPORT University of Portland Portland, OR
UNIRED University of Redlands Redlands, CA
UNIRICH University of Richmond Richmond, VA
UNISAINT University of Saint Mary Leavenworth, KS
UNISOUTH University of South Alabama Mobile, AL
UNIWEST University of the West Rosemead, CA
UNIWASH University of Washington Bothell, WA


Please feel free to add universities from other parts of the world and funny abbreviations that would have been made out of them if they are abbreviated like most Nigerian universities. Ciao

"Holy" pure water. Hope it can cure AIDS?

On the second page of every hymn book come this caveat: "All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior written permission of the publisher."

My utmost surprise is that the hymn book of most churches I've been to contains almost the same songs (though the arrangement and language may differ). This will lead to my first question: Who among these churches originally owned the copyright to these songs? Does every church actually obtain permission from the copyright owners of these songs before compiling their hymn book? If no, why put the caveat above when you are guilty of doing the same?

On a similar note, I will like to know if copyright is enforceable in Christian music? This question is influenced by my "traditional" christian upbringing. In my parents' church, when the choir says they have a special number, you can always be sure that you've never heard that song before because it is composed by the choir (or a chorister therein) themselves. I can remember how my mum used to hide her choir practice book whenever their anniversary is very close because she does not want us to know the anniversary songs before the date (she believe that will take away the value of those songs).

The story is different today. In these new pentecostal churches, when the choir says they have a special number, you can always be sure that it will be from Don Moen, Donnie McLurkin, and their likes. Even the highly respected gospel singers also come to revivals to perform a song (which I believe is a copyrighted material) published by a colleague. Some even do so in their albums without giving credits to the original singer.

I know many people may say the song is to glorify God and should not be treated in the same manner as a book. Some will also say the song is to minister to people and as such, originality should not take the front seat. These reasons may be valid to some extent but we should understand that intellectual property rights should be protected. If authors are to obtain a written permission from publishers before quoting 500 verses or more from the Bible (which is the word of God and not written by the publisher), the issue of copyright in Christian music should be taken seriously.

It is highly relished by people from Kogi state; they hardly prepare any delicacy without using locust beans.
