It's actually possible. Cos u can go by road from abidjan-ghana-togo-cotonou -Lagos in a day. Some countries are small and clustered. All he has to do is set foot on the ground and move out again. It took him well over a year. Kudos to him, but na over comfort sha.

Let the crazy landlord just thank his stars dat none of the boys died. Setting ppl ablaze is fast becoming a trend in Nigeria. This is pure wickedness. Smoking hemp is bad but murder is not the right response.

On a light note: a child's name might actually influence how he/she turns out. What kind of parents still name dia kids igbo-smoking motorpark touting names like; saburi, sule, azeez etc

Christianity EtcWhich Gospel Songs Put You In The Spirit? by oliidell(op): 9:52am On Aug 04, 2013
Good music never fail to leave a lasting impression, irrespective of the genre. Jazz, Soul, Rock, Reggae,R & B, Hip Hop, Blues, Dance hall, Rap, Country...name it. A good song will always be music to the ears no matter how many times u listen to it.

Good Gospel songs however, do not only leave an impression, they transport the listener from a physical realm to a spiritual one.
I'm not a very religious person, so I do not enjoy prolonged praying and endless services but if a praise and worship session lasts for 48 hrs, I'l surely stay fixed to a spot. Here are the worship songs that stir my spirit:

1. I Need Thee Every Hour (By Fernando Ortega)
" I need thee every hour, Oh gracious Lord, No tender voice like thine can peace afford".....

2. The Steadfast Love of the Lord Never Ceases (By Robert Davidson)
" The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never comes to an end, they are new every morning, new every morning"....

3. Elshaddai (By Amy Grant)
" Elshaddai Elshaddai, Elohim and Adonai, age to age you're the same, by the power of your name"....

Please post the top three songs that move ur spirit.

CelebritiesRe: Nigerian Celebrities Whose Marriages Have Stood The Test Of Time! by oliidell(m): 8:36am On Aug 04, 2013
When I saw 2baba's name on dat list, my initial reaction wz" Wtf! Wats he doin here? Cos they just got married and time is yet to test them. Looking at it now, I think the OP justified his inclusion thus:
2face and Annie idibia: They might have gotten married recently, but their relationship has gone through a lot of ups and downs and they are still kicking
...though the topic shud read 'Union' instead of 'Marriage'
I dunno when they met, but they'v been an item long b4 tuface went solo. Long before he became a big star. African queen was shot in 2003, so let's say they'v been 2gether for more than ten years...and dats a long long time considering 2baba's reckeless way of life. Kids everywhr from multiple women..he even granted an interview saying hez neva goin to get married, but Annie stuck wit him even witout the assurance of a future 2geda.

In view of the above and IMHO, I think they deserve a place on dat list.
CelebritiesRe: Tonto Dikeh Blast Senators Over Child Marriage by oliidell(m): 6:43pm On Jul 30, 2013
ogugua88: The comparison is fair. The issue at hand is a serious one. Stella released an emotional and well-conceived video. Tonto Dikeh released a statement using shorthand vocabulary. I don't see any seriousness or thought in her writing.
Ogugua, there is no basis for comparism. Stella is way up there. Tonto dey fall person hand with her utterances. This one, though poorly expressed, managed to make sense. It's good to know she hasn't lost it totally.

This is a first-of-its-kind operation. It's impossible to do a cost estimate. But even if it's possible, ur opinion is not needed. If u don't intend to give, save ur limited mbs. U don't even sound like u have change to spare.
RomanceRe: How Abnormal Is It To Have Never Dated (or Have A Boyfriend) At 27? by oliidell(m): 9:30am On Jul 28, 2013
Op, it's not abnormal, considering her looks and attitude.Your friend has to approach life differently. First she has to believe in herself and work on her self esteem. Only then can she surmount her obvious inferiority complex.
She has to build herself mentally and socially by reading wide and watching good programs so she can confidently make intelligent conversation when she has company. Intelligence and wit can also attract a man.
Secondly, Weight and uncleanliness are not permanent attributes. She has to work on both. The dirtiness especially cos it is a sure turn-off. Advise her to get rid of the dirt totally, dat shouldn't be difficult. Weight-loss however requires discipline. Diet, exercise etc.
Thirdly her appearance has to always be on point. Shez alredy disadvantaged in the looks department, so she owes herself a duty to dress well and take care of her hair, nails, teeth. A light feminine colonge would also help.

God did not make a mistake in creating us the way we are. So there is no point self-hating. Ignore ur shortcomings, Make the most of ur strong point, Always look for ways to improve yourself. Read informative/inspirational books and watch/listen to good programs, Go for couselling if you must, Make physical and mental exercise a daily routine.
No matter what you are facing in life, Never say die. Even if u are physically challenged -You have ur life, ur mind is intact and ur health is sound. Just pick urself up and start doing things differently. It is never too late to get back on track, just make sure u are on the right one. No matter how bad a man's past is, his future is spotless.

Your friend should get up and take charge of her life. 27 is a good age to make a turn around. The ball is in her court.
CelebritiesRe: Yvonne Nelson Finds Love Again, Now Dating Singer Dammy Krane by oliidell(m): 8:46am On Jul 28, 2013
There is notin to prove that they are actually dating. Dammy said he loves her, and she's happy about it. I know they've been friends for some time. It's free country, so we shouldn't care too much who Yvonne decides to be with.
Still got respect for her as an Artist. I hope she finds a good man someday.

Calm down babes. Agreed, some of the gals have no business here, but many of them are fine. The pix might not have done them justice and there are other factors like figure,gait, personality..etc that u cant readily tell from a picture,. The Uniport and Uniben gals are not bad.

Unbelievable! Absolutely stupid reaction. On a second thought though, her environment/upbringing may have affected her reasoning. If her Dad wz abusive, she might have grown up believing that it's normal. Some females need total re-orientation.

Though the man is reducing his life span displaying wit bags of cement. Deadlifters wear suits, belts and straps to support the affected muscles.

EntertainmentList of World's Top Ten Richest Animals(with Net Worths In Millions Of Dollars ) by oliidell(op):
Are you an Animal lover? Have you ever kept pets so long they are regarded as members of the family? Have you ever wondered how rich an animal could be? Do you know that there are animals whose annual tax returns are in millions of dollars? Do you know that some of these animals have human employees?

Yes, there are such beasts in the world who are millionaires as they inherited huge sums of money their masters bestowed on them. It may seem ridiculous to most of us but there are people out there who hold their pets in such high regard that when they die they are willing to leave a fortune to them. These animals are considered to be more fortunate than most humans because they enjoy the best luxuries of the world. Some of the figures here might have changed and you may not find them on Forbes or exclusively on wiki but the word out there is pretty strong.

Below is a countdown of the world's top ten richest animals:

10. BUBBLES (Chimpanzee):
Coming in at Number 10 is Michael Jackson’s beloved pet chimpanzee 'Bubbles', whom the King of Pop called his first son. As close as two friends could be, Bubbles apparently slept in Jackson’s bedroom in a crib, ate at the dining room table, and would use Jackson’s own toilet.


Net Worth: $2 million




9. FLOSSIE (Dog):
At Number 9 is Actress- Drew Barrymore's Pet Labrador. Drew rescued her Yellow Labrador Flossie at a flea market. As if returning the favour, Flossie saved Barrymore and her then-husband Tom Green from a fire in the couple’s home. As a reward for Flossie’s bravery, the dog is now the proud owner of an estate in Beverly Hills, which she shares with Barrymore.


Net Worth: $3 million




8. GIGOO (Bird):
Believe it or not, the 8th richest animal in the world is a domestic hen. This bird belonging to Miles Blackwell was given a huge sum in his will. His wife having died before him apparently left him without an heir and he left the remainder of his money to the next available living thing. (Ndi ocha! smh)


Net Worth: $10 million




7. TROUBLE (Dog):
A Pet Maltese occupies the Number 7 position. Leona Helmsley, who passed away in 2007 was the wife of New York City hotel operator and investor Harry Helmsley. Leona disinherited her two grandchildren and left her entire fortune to her pet dog-Trouble.


Net Worth: $12 million




6. BLACKIE (Cat):
Also known as Tommasso and nicknamed the 'Don Tommassino of the Animal Planet' by yours truly, is a Feline of Italian descent. Known as the richest cat in the world, Blackie inherited millions of dollars from her owner Ben Rea. Again the owner completely bypassed his living relatives, leaving them out in the cold while securing the future of his favourite pet. Blackie is now listed in the Guinness book of world records as the Richest cat in the world .


Net worth: $25 million




5. LUKE, LAYLA & GRACIE (Dogs):
Don't mind the human names, they are definitely dogs. These Pampered Pooches belong to no other than the money-bag of the Entertainment Industry-'Oprah Gail Winfrey' and have bequeathals in tens of millions of dollars. Lucky animals i must say, to have caught Her Majesty's fancy.



Net Worth: $30 million




4. KEIKO (Whale)93-'03:
Wao! A sea animal made the top four. Keiko is unique in so many ways. He is not only rich, he is also famous. He also stands out because, unlike the others listed here, he didn't inherit money, He earned it. The killer whale is the star of Simon wincer's 1993 box office success "Free Willy". He was picked up from a simple theme park and has never since looked back. This mammal amassed a fortune many humans would kill for from payments and donations.


Net Worth: $36 million




3. KALU (Chimpanzee):
Yea! another Chimpanzee made the list, though not as popular as Bubbles but far far wealthier. Judging from his name, this ape could be of Nigerian descent(kidding). Kalu was rescued in 1985 by Patricia O’Neill, wife of former Olympic swimming star-Frank O’Neill. Frank has never been much of a fan of the chimp, and still holds a grudge after he found Kalu smoking one of his cigarettes and drinking his beer. In 2000, Patricia changed her will so that Kalu would inherit her Cape Town estate worth tens of millions of dollars.


Net Worth: $80 million




2. TOBY (Dog):
Did someone just say Dog again! Yea, Dogs are definitely dominating this list. They are man's best friends after all. This Poodle coming in second is not a direct heir to a human. He is a descendant of a poodle that inherited $30 million in 1931 after the death of his New York owner-Ella Wendel. Apparently the money was well invested by the dogs and the family of the dogs as Toby now has a fortune that dwarfs the original amount.


Net Worth: $90 million




1. GUNTHER IV (Dog):
Comfortably occupying the Number one spot is another canine whom i'v dubbed the 'Four- Legged Carlos Slim'. This German Shephard lives a life many humans dream of. Mansions, Cars, Human staff....name it. Gunther IV, like Toby, is also not a direct heir. The millionaire dog inherited the huge amount from his father Gunther III, who received the amount from its owner-Karlotta Liebenstein after she passed away. This dog is presently richer than many celebrities world over. Among Gunther's acquisitions are Estates in the Bahamas, Germany and Italy as well as Madonna's Miami home. In 2001, Gunther appeared with two members of his staff at an auction in Turin-Italy, where he successfully bid three million Lira for a rare white truffle in a bidding war. His wealth keeps growing as he has properly invested in trust funds and other ways to increase his income. This Fella gat so much swag he shud be signing autographs.


Net Worth: $400 million



So, two Chimps, a Whale, a cat, a Hen and Doggies sum up the top ten richest animals in the world. Hope you found this piece interesting.
