Literature › Re: Books You Will Never Get Tired Of Reading. by oliidell(m): 10:16am On Aug 09, 2013
Babe2sure: @Ollideli~ Thumbs up for you guy!
You must have built a huge library for yourself!You are a jack of all trade kind of reader.That is good.
I have read Sue Grafton's{A for Alibi}.I love crime stories!
Truly,you cannot choose because you have read widely.
Thanks babe. My collection is not dat big cos I exchange. I only bought 3 James Hadley Chase novels in high school and used it to read about 80. I have a good number of bestsellers though. Yea, Sue writes about crime.Try reading Chase too. It's 100% crime.
Literature › Re: Books You Will Never Get Tired Of Reading. by oliidell(m): 5:59pm On Aug 08, 2013
This is kinda difficult cos iv been reading since age 8 and dats a long long time ago.


Zanzara-Michela Morgan
Showdown at Yellow Butte- Louis Lamour
.44 Calibre man-JT Edson
Point of Impact- Stephen Hunter
Sons of Fortune
Prisoner of Birth- both by Jeff Archer
Parsifal Mosaic-Robert Ludlum
Random Winds-Belva Plain
Forest Gump-Winston Groom

I can go on and on and on. I did not mention books by;Sidney Sheldon, John Grisham, Daniel Steele, David Baldacci, James Patterson, Frederick Forsythe, Dan Brown, James Hadley Chase,VC Andrews,Nick Carter,Sue Grafton,Denise Robins,Agatha Christie,JK Rowlings,Enid Blyton and some odas because I don't know which ones to leave out.
Started with Peter and Jane,Janet and John, Winners,Pace setters,Famous five, Sherlock Holmes. Dabbled into M&B and Silhouette, changed course when I read "Do me a favour, drop dead"-my first of many James Hadley Chase. Then someone gave me "Sidney Sheldon's blood line and it cured my chase craze and triggered of the Bestsellers.
I refuse to call it an addiction but it's been quite a journey

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 Etc › Which 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.

Celebrities › Re: 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.
Celebrities › Re: 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.
Romance › Re: 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.

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.

Where are all the fine girls in nigeria ?
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.

There are six bags actually. The other brown stuff is an underlay kinda. That's 300kg. Impressive for a slightly built 67 year old! The world record for deadlifts is 475kg. Though the man is reducing his life span displaying wit bags of cement. Deadlifters wear suits, belts and straps to support the affected muscles.
