@ Topic she's most probably talking about sex. Getting head, specifically. @ poster: disabuse me if you will. the poem's quite nice sha. And I agree with you. Cunnilingo can be quite a psychedelic experience. |

Health / Re: Hygiene In Nigeria by Olowoaiye(m): 12:11pm On May 21, 2007 |
you guys can start a personal hygiene crusade but you aren't going to get far with it in this naija. bebe2007: That bus conductor probably stays in a single room apartment (face me i face you) with five other boys, hustlers all of them. the apartment likely has six other rooms (5x6=30) with 1 pit latrine and 1 showerstall to serve all 30 of them. running water or even borehole=nil. the aboki with his pushcart sells water at N20 per keg which is more than conductor has left in his pocket when he wakes up and lights out, crack of dawn, to face another crazy day on the streets. if he had any cash in his pocket to start the day with, he would rather spend it on breakfast than on two buckets of bath water. WTF, Mr. Bus Conductor most likely owns just two shirts and a pair of trousers, he washes them once in a month, in the night, for them to dry overnight so he can use them the following day, and does he een remember to chew pako or use a toothbrush before he sets out for the day? Ditto for most of the marketwomen, barrowboys, danfo drivers. these people were simply not brought up that way. The exigencies of life at the bottom of the socioeconomic pyramid have completely eclipsed the finer points of personal hygiene for them. just thank God for your parents, and the benefit of a good education, barring which (privileges) you miight not actually view hygiene as a 'given', afterall. But i wish you luck good luck per the crusade. |
Culture / Re: Ancient Igbos Built Pyramids! by Olowoaiye(m): 2:45am On May 19, 2007 |
@ Jen33 the jenerator of ridiculously fallacious threads. ancient igbos built the pyramids indeed! hahahahaha am not supposed to respond to this outrageous topic, but the question i have for you is this: why do you always resort to insults and abusive words when people point out the invariably obvious holes in your arguments? this wasnt directed at me but its quite pathetic cause it was unwarranted and all it did was make you look childish and immature: If you spent the time to read the link rather than talk through your arss without thinking, you'd have seen the link to the University of Bournemouth UK research team which brought the Nsude pyramids to our attention. It's not ''us'' making any ''claim''. By the way you just quietly glossed over the Chukwu[b]ra[/b] gaffe |

beggars have no choice. the LDCs going round cap in hand for free/cheap funds should be prepared to take all kinds of sh*t. |

Politics / Re: Nigeria's Vice-president Elect Goodluck Attacked by Olowoaiye(m): 3:22pm On May 16, 2007 |
Iyke-D: the buck stops on obasanjo's table. nobody is blaming him exclusively for anything but i think we can safely assume here that the Niger Delta is upside down because government has refused to put people-friendly policies in place that will better the lot of the rural-dwellers. the few schools that exist in the delta creeks are rundown and understaffed, atimes not even staffed at all. i know this. i lived in akassa-land for several years and i have travelled extensively in bayelsa and rivers states. What a lack of foundational education implies is that the kids are f**ked up and bereft of hope even before they have started out in life. the nigerian society is powered on paper qualifications so am sure what am driving at is quite obvious. the oil companies cant enlist everybody into their skill acquisition programmes. they have even made the problem worse by agreeing to pay 'sleeping salaries' ( a form of protection money) to the youths of these coastal vilages to keep them quiet and comfortably unemployed. it is these same kids who grew up without a foundation in either the arts or sciences that have finally morphed into the NDPVF, MEND and associated criminal elements. we can safely conclude that these militant groups are an indirect, albeit unwitting creation of the federal government of nigeria. why has the government turned a blind eye to illegal oil-bunkering activities in the creeks for the past eight years? proceeds from illegal-bunkering accounts for an estimated 25% of nigerian annual crude exports, completely off the books, and these funds go into the pockets of the militants and other accomplices such as naval officers and task-force soldiers. MEND and co have been able to build an impressive arsenal of sophisticated weapons with which they are now holding the security forces at bay. They sack police stations in Port Harcourt at will, outgunning and killing scores of policemen in cold blood. They carry out daylight attacks on commercial banks, stealing tens of millions of hard cash to further fuel their operations. Make no mistake about it the delta is a time-bomb just waiting to explode @ Iyke-D: I am just curious, why you do you feel you are qualified to make excuses for President Obasanjo? are you a beneficiary of government patronage or what? are you related to him? it's easy to live in denial of the actual issues on ground when you are in far away united states. but not everyone has been (un?)fortunate enough to hide away from their fatherland. Some of us have to deal with the situation of things on ground here and i believe we are far more qualified criticise (constructively) than the economic, educational, and political exiles ( choose the category you fit into) |
